                        Notes to Financial Statements
                                 (Unaudited)

                                June 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 six
month  periods  ended  June  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 is
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  1996  net income per share amounts are based on the weighted average
number  of  common  shares  and  dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding
during  the  periods.   The 1995 net income per share amounts are 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.

<PAGE>
THREE  AND  SIX  MONTH  PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996, COMPARED TO THREE AND SIX
MONTH  PERIODS  ENDED  JUNE  30,  1995

Revenues

     Interest  and discount revenue increased from $5.7 million for the second
quarter  of  1995  to  $6.8 million for the same period of 1996, or 18.8%, and
from  $9.8  million  for the first six months of 1995 to $13.5 million for the
same  period  of  1996,  or 37.3%.  The increase in both 1996 periods over the
comparable  1995  periods  was  due  to a higher level of contracts receivable
owned by the Company, partially offset in both 1996 periods by a lower average
yield  on  the  contracts.   As of June 30, 1996, contracts receivable totaled
$122.9  million as compared to $101.1 million as of June 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 1,074 as of June
30,  1996  as  compared  to  756  as  of  June  30,  1995.

     The  average yield on contracts receivable for the second quarter of 1995
was 24.3% compared to 21.7% for the same period of 1996, and was 24.0% for the
first  six  months of 1995 compared to 21.4% 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 determined 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 $101,000 for the second quarter
of  1995 to $797,000 for the same period of 1996, or 687.6%, and from $673,000
for  the first six months of 1995 to $1.1 million for the same period of 1996,
or  56.8%.    The  increase  in the second quarter of 1996 over the comparable
period  of  1995  was  due  to  increased  sales of 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 six months of 1996 as compared to the
same  period  of 1995 was due to an increase in sales of a secured Visa credit
card  previously  described,  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.

     In  the  second  quarter  of 1996, the secured Visa credit card, together
with  another  product  with  which  it  is  packaged,  generated  revenues of
approximately  $599,000.   These revenues were primarily derived from the sale
of  the  product package to customers who currently have contracts outstanding
with  the  Company.   While the Company is actively exploring other avenues in
which  to  market  the  secured Visa credit card, it is expected that revenues
derived  from the sale of this product package to customers who currently have
contracts  outstanding  with  the Company will be less in the third and fourth
quarters  than  in  the  second  quarter  of  1996.

     Other  revenues decreased from $440,000 for the second quarter of 1995 to
$376,000  for  the  same period of 1996, or 14.4%, and increased from $739,000
for  the  first six months of 1995 to $830,000 for the same period of 1996, of
12.3%.   The decrease in the second quarter of 1996 from the comparable period
of  1995 was due to lower training fees earned by the Company partially offset
by  higher gross profit generated by the sale of purchased and trade inventory
at  the  GAC  sales  lots and by a $125,000 reduction in a special reserve for
losses  on  receivables  from a dealer as a result of the reduction of amounts
owed  to the Company by that dealer.  The increase for the first six 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 $1.3 million for the second quarter of
1995  to  $2.3  million  for  the same period of 1996, or 78.5%, and from $2.7
million  for  the first six months of 1995 to $4.5 million for the same period
of 1996, or 68.1%.  The increase in both 1996 periods over the comparable 1995
periods was due to the higher average level of borrowings required to fund the
higher  level of contracts receivable in 1996 and the 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  as  compared to 1995.  Average borrowings on the line of credit were
$53.4 million for the second quarter of 1995 compared to $97.9 million for the
same  period  of  1996,  and  $54.5  million  for the first six months of 1995
compared  to  $97.1  million for the same period of 1996.  As of July 1, 1996,
the  interest  rate  charged by the Company's primary lender reverted to LIBOR
plus  3.0%.  See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" for additional information.

     Salaries and employee benefits increased from $1.1 million for the second
quarter  of  1995  to  $2.0 million for the same period of 1996, or 85.6%, and
from  $2.0  million  for  the first six months of 1995 to $4.3 million for the
same  period of 1996, or 114.8%.  The increases were due to an increase in the
number  of  full time equivalent employees from 197 as of June 30, 1995 to 327
as  of  June  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  required  to  support  anticipated portfolio
growth  in  the  future.

     Marketing  costs increased from $80,000 for the second quarter of 1995 to
$336,000  for  the  same  period of 1996, or 318.4%, and from $192,000 for the
first  six months of 1995 to $513,000 for the same period of 1996, or 168.0%. 
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 $167,000 for the second
quarter of 1995 to $893,000 for the same period of 1996, or $726,000, and from
$565,000  for the first six months of 1995 to $2.1 million for the same period
of 1996, or $1.6 million.  In the second quarter and first six 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.  In the second quarter and
first  six  months  of  1996, however, an additional provision was required to
restore  the  allowance  and discount available for credit losses on contracts
acquired  from  dealers  to  a  level  deemed  acceptable by the Company.  The
increase  in the provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 1996 and
the first six months of 1996 relates primarily to additional provisions deemed
necessary related to contracts purchased from dealers to restore the allowance
and discount for credit losses to an acceptable level, and to a lesser extent,
to  an  increased  volume  of  contracts  originated by the GAC sales lots, as
compared  to  the same periods of 1995.  The total available for credit losses
as  a percent of contracts receivable was 12.07% as of June 30, 1996, compared
to  14.72%  as of June 30, 1995, and 16.5% as of December 31, 1995.  The lower
allowance  as  a  percentage  of  contracts  receivable as of June 30, 1996 is
attributable  to  an  improvement  in  the  credit  quality  of  the Company's
portfolio of contracts receivable as evidenced by lower delinquency ratios and
by lower net charge-offs during each month during the second quarter of 1996. 
This  improvement  in credit quality was in part achieved by the tightening of
underwriting  standards  effective January 1, 1996.  The Company's delinquency
ratio  declined  from  3.60%  as  of December 31, 1995 to 1.68% as of June 30,
1996.

     Other expenses increased from $1.4 million for the second quarter of 1995
to  $1.5  million for the same period of 1996, or 10.2%, and from $2.2 million
for  the first six months of 1995 to $2.8 million for the same period of 1996,
or  28.9%.  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 net income decreased from
$2.2  million  for the second quarter of 1995 to $805,000 for the  same period
of  1996,  or 63.1%, and from $3.7 million for the first six months of 1995 to
$1.2  million  for  the  same  period  of  1996,  or  67.8%.

     Income  tax  expense  amounted  to  a  credit  of $516,000 for the second
quarter  of  1995  compared  to  an expense of $322,000 for the same period of
1996,  and  was a credit of $516,000 for the first six months of 1995 compared
to  an  expense  of $471,000 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,
income  tax  expense  was  recorded at a combined federal and state income tax
rate  of  40%.    The  income  tax credit recorded in both 1995 periods is the
result  of  a  $1.1  million  tax  credit  related  to  cumulative  temporary
differences  as  of  April  10,  1995,  partially offset by a $784,000 expense
representing  income  taxes at a combined federal and state income tax rate of
40%  for  the  period  from  April  10,  1995  through  June  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  $47.4  million for the first six months of 1995 compared to $37.6 million
for  the  same  period  of 1996.  During 1996, the Company funded its contract
purchases  with borrowings on its $100.0 million revolving line of credit with
GE  Capital  (the  "Line").    The Line provides for interest at the one-month
LIBOR  rate  plus  3.0%  (4.0%  for the period from March 15, 1996 to June 30,
1996).    As  of  June  30,  1996,  borrowings on the Line were $98.3 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 has
provided  the Company with a letter which amends the maximum charge-off levels
in  the  Forbearance  Agreement,  and  with  which  the  Company  is  in  full
compliance.

The  Company  is  currently  in  negotiations  with GE Capital to increase the
current  $100.0 million Line and to cure the existing default under the Line. 
While no assurances can be given, the Company believes these negotiations will
proceed such that additional funding will be available prior to the end of the
third  quarter of 1996.  The Forbearance Agreement will remain in effect until
the  earlier  of the successful conclusion of the negotiations or December 31,
1996.  The Company continues to explore alternatives to increase and diversify
its  funding  sources  but  believes  it  may  have  difficulty  in  securing
alternative  funding  sources  while  it  remains  in  default under the Line.

     Based on the aforementioned funding limitations, the Company expects that
its  contracts  receivable  will  remain  near current levels during the third
quarter  of  1996.    If the Company and GE Capital do not agree on a mutually
acceptable  loan  agreement  to  supersede  the  Agreement and the Forbearance
Agreement,  there  is  no  assurance  that  the  Company will be successful in
locating  additional  financing.  If additional financing is not obtained from
GE  Capital  or  other  sources,  the  Company's  growth  will  be  curtailed.

     In  April,  1996,  the  Company  completed  its  move to new headquarters
offices.    During the first six months of 1996, the Company spent $878,000 in
capital  expenditures,  primarily  for  furniture  and  computer and telephone
equipment.    No further capital expenditures are expected to be required as a
result  of  the  relocation.

As  a  result  of the Company's continuing collection efforts during the first
six  months  of  1996,  repossession  inventory  grew  from $5.2 million as of
December  31,  1995  to $10.1 million as of June 30, 1996, an increase of $4.9
million.    Repossession inventory is expected to decline during the remainder
of  1996 as a result of lower repossession activity and an acceleration in the
Company's  retail sales efforts.  The company has received a commitment letter
for  $4.5  million  from  a  bank  for  a  revolving line of credit secured by
repossession  inventory and purchased and trade automobile inventory.  Funding
under  this  line  of  credit  is  contingent  upon several factors, including
negotiation  of a satisfactory intercreditor agreement between the bank and GE
Capital.   While no assurances can be given, the Company believes that funding
will  be  available  under  this line prior to the end of the third quarter of
1996.

OTHER  DEVELOPMENTS

     The  Company  is  in  the  process  of forming a wholly-owned subsidiary,
General Acceptance Corporation Reinsurance, Ltd., to reinsure 100% of the risk
associated  with credit life and disability policies produced by the Company. 
The primary insurer and administrator of the Company's reinsurance arrangement
will be a third-party insurance company.  The Company is taking this action to
capitalize  on  the  excellent claims history the Company's third-party former
primary  insurer  has  experienced  on  credit  life  and disability insurance
produced  by  the  Company.   The formation of this company is not expected to
have  any  significant  impact  on  profitability  during  the next 24 months.

Dear  Al:

     Reference is made to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of

and  to  the  Forbearance  Agreement  executed by the parties in the form of a
letter  dated  March  20, 1996 (the "Forbearance"), as amended, (together, the
"Agreement").  All terms used in this letter without definition shall have the
meaning  given  to  such  terms  in  the  Agreement.

     Pursuant  to  prior conversations, Lender agrees to amend the Forbearance
as  follows:

     Exhibit  E  (Delinquency and Losses) of the Forbearance is hereby deleted
in  its  entirety and a new Exhibit E (attached hereto) substituted therefore.

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

                              Very  truly  yours,
