SUMMARY

You should read the entire prospectus, especially "Risk Factors" and the
consolidated financial statements and notes, before deciding to invest in
shares of our common stock. Unless we indicate otherwise, all information in
this prospectus assumes the underwriters will not exercise their over-allotment
option.

Our Company

We are a consumer finance company specializing in purchasing, securitizing
and servicing retail automobile installment sales contracts originated by
franchised and select independent dealers in connection with the sale of late
model used and to a lesser extent new automobiles. Because we currently do not
lend directly to consumers, we are what is commonly known as an indirect
lender. We target borrowers with limited credit histories, modest incomes or
those who have experienced prior credit difficulties, otherwise known as non-
prime borrowers. With the use of proprietary credit scoring models, we
underwrite contracts on a decentralized basis through a branch office network.
These credit scoring models, combined with experienced underwriting personnel,
enable us to implement a risk-based pricing approach to structuring and
underwriting individual contracts. Our centralized risk management department
monitors these underwriting strategies and portfolio performance to balance
credit quality and profitability objectives. We service our loan portfolio at
regional facilities located in Fort Worth, Texas, Tempe, Arizona and Charlotte,
North Carolina using automated loan servicing and collection systems.

We had 176 branch offices as of June 30, 1999. As a result of our expansion
strategy, we have been able to increase our aggregate volume of automobile
installment sales contracts purchased to $1,737.8 million in fiscal 1998 from
$18.3 million in fiscal 1993. We have continued this growth during the first
nine months of fiscal 1999, with purchases aggregating $1,990.9 million,
compared to $1,176.7 million during the same period in fiscal 1998. For fiscal
1998, the average principal amount financed was $12,479 and the weighted
average APR of contracts we purchased was 19.1%.

We generate earnings and cash flow primarily through the purchase,
retention, securitization and servicing of automobile receivables. In each
securitization, we sell automobile receivables to a trust that, in turn, sells
asset-backed securities to investors. We recognize a gain on the sale of the
receivables to the trust and receive monthly excess cash flow distributions
from the trust resulting from the difference between the interest received from
the consumer obligors on the receivables and the interest on the asset-backed
securities paid to investors, net of losses and expenses. Although the
aggregate amount of excess cash flow does not change, the timing of our receipt
of excess cash flow distributions is dependent on the type of structure we use.
Historically, we used a structure that involved a higher initial cash deposit
and resulted in receipt of excess cash flow distributions approximately seven
to nine months after the receivables were securitized. Since November 1997, we
have employed a structure that involves a lower initial cash deposit. Under
this structure, we expect to begin to receive excess cash flow distributions
approximately 20 to 24 months after the receivables are securitized. We
received excess cash flow of $43.8 million from securitization trusts in fiscal
1998. Due to the time delay associated with distributions of excess cash flow
from securitizations, we expect to receive increased cash flow distributions in
fiscal 2000 from trusts created as a result of securitization transactions
occurring in fiscal 1998. Prior to the time when we begin to receive excess
cash flow, all excess cash flow is utilized to fund credit enhancement
requirements to secure financial guaranty insurance policies issued by a
monoline insurance company to protect investors in the asset-backed securities
from losses. Once predetermined credit enhancement requirements are reached and
maintained, excess cash flow is distributed to us. In addition to excess cash
flow, we earn servicing fees of 2.25% per annum of the outstanding principal
balance of receivables securitized. Since our first securitization transaction
in December 1994, we have securitized approximately $5.8 billion of automobile
receivables in private and public offerings of asset-backed securities,
including a $1.0 billion securitization in May 1999.

Industry Overview

According to CNW Marketing/Research, an independent automobile finance
market research firm, the automobile finance industry is the second largest
consumer finance industry in the United States with over $603 billion of loan
and lease originations during 1998. The industry is generally segmented
according to the type of car sold (new vs. used) and the credit characteristics
of the borrower (prime vs. non-prime). The non-prime segment of the market
accounted for approximately $188 billion of these originations, including
approximately $112 billion of new car loans and $76 billion of used car loans.
Competition in the field of automobile finance is intense. The automobile
finance market is highly fragmented and is served by a variety of financial
entities including the captive finance affiliates of major automotive
manufacturers, banks, thrifts, credit unions and independent finance companies.

Our Solution

We have developed a business model and a technology platform that we
believe allows us to compete effectively in the non-prime automobile finance
business throughout the United States. The key aspects of our solution are:

. decentralized marketing platform;

. use of proprietary credit scoring models for risk-based pricing;

. sophisticated risk management techniques;

. high investment in technology to support operating efficiency and growth;
and

. funding and liquidity through securitizations.

Our Business Strategy

Our principal objective is to continue to build upon our position as a
leading lender to non-prime borrowers. To achieve this objective, we are using
the following strategies:

. continued growth in contract purchase volume;

. continued enhancement of our proprietary credit scoring models with new
data;

. continued investment in technology; and

. continued efforts to lower our cost of funds.

Our Address

Our principal executive offices are located at 801 Cherry Street, Suite
3900, Fort Worth, Texas 76102 and our telephone number is 817-302-7000.

for credit enhancement assets to the cash-out method from the cash-in
method. See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
(2) We recognized an income tax benefit in fiscal 1995 equal to the expected
future tax savings from using our net operating loss carry forward and
other future tax benefits.

RISK FACTORS

This offering involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider
the risks described below and the other information in this prospectus before
deciding to invest in shares of our common stock. Our business, operating
results and financial condition could be adversely affected by any of the
following risks. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any
of these risks, and you could lose all or part of your investment. You should
also refer to the other information set forth in this prospectus, including our
financial statements and the related notes.

This prospectus also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks
and uncertainties. These statements relate to our future plans, objectives,
expectations and intentions, and the assumptions underlying or relating to any
of these statements. These statements may be identified by the use of words
such as "expects", "anticipates", "intends", and "plans" and similar
expressions. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in
these statements. Factors that could contribute to such differences include,
but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus.

Our ability to continue to purchase contracts and to fund our business is
dependent on a number of financing sources

Credit Facilities and Warehouse Facilities. We depend on credit facilities
and warehouse facilities with financial institutions to finance our purchase of
contracts pending securitization. At the date of this prospectus, we have five
credit and warehouse facilities with various financial institutions providing
for revolving credit borrowings of up to a total of $1,070.0 million and $20.0
million Cdn., subject to defined borrowing bases. We have a $505.0 million
warehouse facility which expires in September 1999 and a $375.0 million
warehouse facility which expires in March 2000. Our bank credit agreement,
which provides for up to $115.0 million of revolving borrowings subject to a
borrowing base, matures in March 2000 and the $20.0 million Cdn. bank facility
to fund Canadian auto receivables expires in November 1999. Our mortgage
subsidiary credit agreement, which provides for up to $75.0 million of
revolving borrowings subject to a borrowing base, matures in July 1999. We
cannot assure you that any of these financing resources will continue to be
available to us on reasonable terms or at all. The availability of these
financing sources depends on factors outside of our control, including
regulatory capital treatment for unfunded bank lines of credit and the
availability of bank liquidity in general. If we are unable to extend or
replace any of these facilities and arrange new credit or warehouse facilities,
we will have to curtail our contract purchasing activities, which would have a
material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity and results of
operations.

Our credit facilities and warehouse facilities contain extensive
restrictions and covenants and require us to maintain specified financial
ratios and satisfy specified financial tests, including maintenance of asset
quality and portfolio performance tests. Failure to meet any of these
covenants, financial ratios or financial tests could result in an event of
default under these agreements. If an event of default occurs under these
agreements, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under
these agreements to be immediately due and payable, enforce their interests
against collateral pledged under such agreements and restrict our ability to
obtain additional borrowings under these agreements. Our ability to meet those
financial ratios and tests can be affected by events beyond our control, and we
cannot assure you that we will meet those financial ratios and tests.

Securitization Program. Since December 1994, we have relied upon our
ability to aggregate and sell receivables in the asset-backed securities market
to generate cash proceeds for repayment of credit and warehouse facilities and
to purchase additional contracts from automobile dealers. Further, gains on
sales generated by our securitizations currently represent the single largest
component of our revenues. We try to effect securitizations of our receivables
on at least a quarterly basis. Accordingly, adverse changes in our asset-backed
securities program or in the asset-backed securities market for automobile
receivables generally could materially adversely affect our ability to purchase
and resell loans on a timely basis and upon terms reasonably favorable to us.
Any delay in the sale of receivables beyond a quarter-end would eliminate the
gain on sale in

that quarter and adversely affect our reported earnings for that quarter. Any
of these adverse changes or delays would have a material adverse effect on our
financial position, liquidity and results of operations.

Credit Enhancement. To date, all of our securitizations have utilized
credit enhancement in the form of financial guaranty insurance policies issued
by Financial Security Assurance Inc. in order to achieve "AAA/Aaa" ratings,
which reduces the costs of securitizations relative to alternative forms of
financing available to us. Financial Security Assurance is not required to
insure our securitizations and we can give you no assurance that it will
continue to do so or that our future securitizations will be similarly rated.
Likewise, we are not required to utilize financial guaranty insurance policies
issued by Financial Security Assurance or any other form of credit enhancement
in connection with our securitizations. We have recently begun to utilize
reinsurance and other credit enhancement alternatives to reduce our initial
cash deposit related to securitizations. A downgrading of Financial Security
Assurance's credit rating or Financial Security Assurance's withdrawal of
credit enhancement or the lack of availability of reinsurance or other
alternative credit enhancements could result in higher interest costs for our
future securitizations and larger initial cash deposit requirements. These
events could have a material adverse effect on our financial position,
liquidity and results of operations.

To service our debt, we will require a significant amount of cash and our
ability to generate cash depends on many factors

Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness and to
fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate cash
in the future. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic,
financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are
beyond our control.

We require substantial amounts of cash to fund our contract purchase and
securitization activities. Although we recognize a gain on the sale of
receivables upon the closing of a securitization, we typically receive the cash
representing that gain over the actual life of the receivables securitized. We
also incur significant transaction costs in connection with a securitization
and incur both current and deferred tax liabilities as a result of the gains on
sale. Accordingly, our strategy of securitizing substantially all of our newly
purchased receivables and increasing the number of contracts purchased will
require substantial amounts of cash.

We expect to continue to require substantial amounts of cash as the volume
of our contract purchases increases and our securitization program grows. Our
primary cash requirements include the funding of:

. contract purchases pending their securitization and sale;

. credit enhancement requirements in connection with the securitization
and sale of the receivables;

. interest and principal payments under our warehouse facilities, our
credit agreement, our Canadian facility, our mortgage subsidiary credit
agreement, our notes and other indebtedness;

. fees and expenses incurred in connection with the securitization of
receivables and the servicing of them;

. capital expenditures for technology;

. ongoing operating expenses; and

. tax payments due on receipt of excess cash flows from securitization
trusts (the "Trusts").

Our primary sources of liquidity in the future are expected to be:

. existing cash;

. financings under our warehouse facilities, our credit agreement, our
Canadian facility and our mortgage subsidiary credit agreement;

. sales of automobile receivables through securitizations;

. excess cash flow received from securitization trusts; and

. further issuances of debt or equity securities, depending on capital
market conditions.

Because our principal credit facilities are initially 364 days in length,
we must renew these facilities annually. In addition, because we expect to
continue to require substantial amounts of cash for the foreseeable future, we
anticipate that we will need to enter into debt or equity financings regularly,
in addition to quarterly securitizations. The type, timing and terms of
financing selected by us will be dependent upon our cash needs, the
availability of other financing sources and the prevailing conditions in the
financial markets. We cannot assure you that any of these sources will be
available to us at any given time or that the terms on which these sources may
be available will be favorable to us.

Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health

We currently have, and after the offering, will continue to have a
significant amount of indebtedness. Our ability to make payments of principal
or interest on, or to refinance our indebtedness will depend on:

. our future operating performance; and

. our ability to enter into additional securitizations and debt and equity
financings, which to a certain extent is subject to economic, financial,
competitive and other factors beyond our control.

If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow in the future to service
our debt, we may be required to refinance all or a portion of our existing debt
or to obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that any such
refinancing would be possible or that any additional financing could be
obtained on terms acceptable to us. The inability to obtain additional
financing could have a material adverse effect on us.

Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences to the
holders of common stock, including:

. we may be unable to satisfy our obligations under our outstanding senior
notes;

. we may be more vulnerable to adverse general economic and industry
conditions;

. we may find it more difficult to fund future working capital, capital
expenditures, acquisitions, general corporate purposes or other
purposes; and

. we will have to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash resources to
the payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the funds available
for operations and future business opportunities.

Our credit and warehouse facilities and indentures restrict our operations

Our credit and warehouse facilities and our indentures restrict our ability
to, among other things:

. sell or transfer assets;

. incur additional debt;

. repay other debt;

. pay dividends;

. make certain investments or acquisitions;

. repurchase or redeem capital stock;

. engage in mergers or consolidations; and

. engage in certain transactions with subsidiaries and affiliates.

The credit and warehouse facilities and the indentures also require us to
comply with certain financial ratios, covenants and asset quality maintenance
requirements. These restrictions may interfere with our ability to obtain
financing or to engage in other necessary or desirable business activities.

If we cannot comply with the requirements in our credit and warehouse
facilities, then the lenders may require us to repay immediately all of the
outstanding debt under our facilities. If our debt payments were accelerated,
our assets might not be sufficient to fully repay our debt. These lenders may
also require us to use all of our available cash to repay our debt, they may
foreclose upon their collateral or they may prevent us from making payments to
other creditors on certain portions of our outstanding debt.

We may not be able to obtain a waiver of these provisions or refinance our
debt, if needed. In such a case, our business, results of operations and
financial condition would suffer.

There is a high degree of risk associated with non-prime borrowers

We specialize in purchasing, securitizing and servicing non-prime
receivables. Non-prime borrowers are associated with higher-than-average
delinquency and default rates. While we believe that we effectively manage
these risks with our proprietary credit scoring models, risk-based loan pricing
and other underwriting policies and collection methods, we can give you no
assurance that these criteria or methods will be effective in the future. In
the event that we underestimate the default risk or under-price contracts that
we purchase, our financial position, liquidity and results of operations would
be adversely affected, possibly to a material degree.

Defaults and prepayments on contracts purchased by us could adversely affect
our operations

Our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity depend, to a
material extent, on the performance of contracts purchased and held by us prior
to their sale in a securitization transaction, as well as the subsequent
performance of receivables sold to securitization trusts. Obligors under loans
acquired by us may default on or prepay these loans during the period prior to
their sale in a securitization transaction or if they remain owned by us. We
bear the full risk of losses resulting from payment defaults during that
period. In the event of a payment default, the collateral value of the financed
vehicle usually does not cover the outstanding loan balance and costs of
recovery. We maintain an allowance for losses on loans held by us, which
reflects management's estimates of anticipated losses for these loans. If the
allowance is inadequate, then we would recognize as an expense the losses in
excess of that allowance and results of operations could be adversely affected.
In addition, under the terms of our credit and warehouse facilities, we are not
able to borrow against defaulted loans and loans greater than 30 days
delinquent held by us.

We also retain a substantial portion of the default and prepayment risk
associated with the receivables that we sell in our securitizations. A large
component of the gain recognized on these sales and the corresponding assets
recorded on our balance sheet are credit enhancement assets, which are based on
the present value of estimated future excess cash flows from the securitized
receivables which will be received by us. Accordingly, credit enhancement
assets are calculated on the basis of management's assumptions concerning,
among other things, defaults and prepayments. Actual defaults and prepayments
may vary from management's assumptions, possibly to a material degree. As of
March 31, 1999, credit enhancement assets totaled $413.7 million. Depending on
our growth, credit enhancement assets may become a larger share of our overall
assets.

We are required to deposit substantial amounts of the cash flows generated
by our interests in our securitizations ("restricted cash") into spread
accounts which are pledged to Financial Security Assurance as security for our
obligation to reimburse Financial Security Assurance for any amounts which may
be paid out on financial guarantee insurance policies.

We regularly measure our default, prepayment and other assumptions against
the actual performance of securitized receivables. If we were to determine, as
a result of that regular review or otherwise, that we

underestimated defaults or prepayments, or that any other material assumptions
were inaccurate, we would be required to adjust the carrying value of our
credit enhancement assets, which consist of restricted cash, investments in
Trust receivables and interest-only receivables, by making a charge to income
and writing down the carrying value of these assets on our balance sheet.
Future cash flows from securitization Trusts may also be less than expected and
our results of operations and liquidity would be adversely affected, possibly
to a material degree. In addition, an increase in defaults or prepayments would
reduce the size of our servicing portfolio which would reduce our servicing fee
income, further adversely affecting results of operations and cash flow. A
material write-down in credit enhancement assets and the corresponding
decreases in earnings and cash flow could limit our ability to service debt and
to enter into future securitizations and other financings. Although we believe
that we have made reasonable assumptions as to the future cash flows of the
various pools of receivables that have been sold in securitization
transactions, actual rates of default or prepayment may differ from those
assumed and other assumptions may be required to be revised upon future events.

Negative performance of auto contracts in our portfolio could adversely affect
our cash flow and servicing rights

Generally, the form of credit enhancement agreement we enter into in
connection with securitization transactions contains specified limits on the
delinquency, default and loss rates on the receivables included in each Trust.
If, at any measuring date, the delinquency, default or loss rate with respect
to any Trust were to exceed the specified limits, provisions of the credit
enhancement agreement would automatically increase the level of credit
enhancement requirements for that Trust. During the period in which the
specified delinquency, default and loss rates were exceeded, excess cash flow,
if any, from the Trust would be used to fund the increased credit enhancement
levels instead of being distributed to us, which would have an adverse effect
on our cash flow. Further, the credit enhancement requirements for each
securitization Trust are cross-collateralized to the credit enhancement
requirements established in connection with each of our other securitization
Trusts, so that excess cash flow from a performing securitization Trust insured
by Financial Security Assurance may be used to support increased credit
enhancement requirements for a nonperforming securitization Trust insured by
Financial Security Assurance, which would further restrict excess cash flow
available to us. We have on occasion exceeded these specified limits, however,
Financial Security Assurance has either waived each of these occurrences or
amended the agreements. We can give you no assurance that Financial Security
Assurance would waive any such future occurrence or amend the agreements. Any
refusal of Financial Security Assurance to waive any such future occurrence or
amend the agreements could have a material adverse effect on our financial
position, liquidity and results of operations.

The credit enhancement agreements we enter into in connection with
securitization transactions contain additional specified limits on the
delinquency, default and loss rates on the receivables included in each Trust
which are higher than the limits referred to in the preceding paragraph. If, at
any measuring date, the delinquency, default or loss rate with respect to any
Trust were to exceed these additional specified limits applicable to that
Trust, provisions of the credit enhancement agreements permit Financial
Security Assurance to terminate our servicing rights to the receivables sold to
that Trust. In addition, the servicing agreements are cross-defaulted so that a
default under one servicing agreement would allow Financial Security Assurance
to terminate our servicing rights under all of our servicing agreements.
Although we have never exceeded such delinquency, default or loss rates, we can
give you no assurance that our servicing rights with respect to the automobile
receivables in such Trusts, or any other Trust which exceeds the specified
limits in future periods, will not be terminated. Financial Security Assurance
has other rights to terminate us as servicer if:

. we breach our obligations under the servicing agreements;

. Financial Security Assurance was required to make payments under its
policy; or

. some bankruptcy or insolvency events were to occur.

As of the date of this prospectus, none of these termination events have
occurred with respect to any of the Trusts formed by us.

A substantial portion of our revenue and income is derived from the sale of
loans to trusts

We periodically sell auto receivables to certain special purpose financing
trusts, and these Trusts in turn issue asset-backed securities to investors. We
retain an interest in the receivables sold in the form of a residual or
interest-only strip and may also retain other subordinated interests in the
receivables sold to the Trusts. The residual or interest-only strips represent
the present value of future excess cash flows resulting from the difference
between the finance charge income received from the obligors on the receivables
and the interest paid to the investors in the asset-backed securities, net of
credit losses, servicing fees and other expenses.

Upon the transfer of receivables to the Trusts, we remove the net book
value of the receivables sold from our consolidated balance sheets and allocate
the carrying value between the assets transferred and the interests retained,
based upon their relative fair values at the settlement date. The difference
between the sales proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the allocated basis
of the assets transferred is recognized as a gain on sale of receivables.

For the nine months ended March 31, 1999, we recognized a gain on sale of
receivables of $116.6 million, or approximately 50% of revenue during that
period. If we are unable to originate new loans and sell them to the Trusts, we
could experience a significant change in the timing of revenue recognition and
reported income. Further, there can be no assurance that we will recognize
gains on future sales of receivables to the Trusts consistent with our gains on
previous sales.

We are subject to general economic conditions which are beyond our control

General. Delinquencies, defaults, repossessions and losses generally
increase during periods of economic recession. These periods also may be
accompanied by decreased consumer demand for automobiles and declining values
of automobiles securing outstanding loans, which weakens collateral coverage
and increases the amount of a loss in the event of default. Significant
increases in the inventory of used automobiles during periods of economic
recession may also depress the prices at which repossessed automobiles may be
sold or delay the timing of these sales. Because we focus on non-prime
borrowers, the actual rates of delinquencies, defaults, repossessions and
losses on these loans could be higher than those experienced in the general
automobile finance industry and could be more dramatically affected by a
general economic downturn. In addition, during an economic slow down or
recession, our servicing costs may increase without a corresponding increase in
our servicing fee income. While we believe that the underwriting criteria and
collection methods we employ enable us to manage the higher risks inherent in
loans made to non-prime borrowers, we can give you no assurance that these
criteria or methods will afford adequate protection against these risks. Any
sustained period of increased delinquencies, defaults, repossessions or losses
or increased servicing costs could also adversely affect our ability to enter
into future securitizations and correspondingly, our financial position,
liquidity and results of operations.

Interest Rates. Our profitability may be directly affected by the level of
and fluctuations in interest rates, which affect our ability to earn a gross
interest rate spread. As the level of interest rates increases, our gross
interest rate spread will generally decline since the rates charged on the
contracts we purchase from dealers are limited by statutory maximums, affording
us little opportunity to pass on increased interest costs. Furthermore, our
future gains recognized upon the securitization of automobile receivables will
also be affected by interest rates. We recognize a gain in connection with our
securitizations based upon the estimated present value of projected future
excess cash flows from the securitization Trusts, which is largely dependent
upon the gross interest rate spread. We believe that our profitability and
liquidity would be adversely affected during any period of higher interest
rates, possibly to a material degree. We monitor the interest rate environment
and employ pre-funding or other hedging strategies designed to mitigate the
impact of changes in interest rates. We can give you no assurance, however,
that pre-funding or other hedging strategies will mitigate the impact of
changes in interest rates.

Labor Market Conditions. Low unemployment rates driven by economic growth
and the continued expansion of consumer credit markets could contribute to an
increase in our employee turnover rate. High turnover or an inability to
attract and retain qualified replacement personnel could have an adverse effect
on our portfolio delinquency, default and net loss rates and, ultimately, our
financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

Failure to implement our business strategy could adversely affect our
operations

Our financial position and results of operations depend on our ability to
execute our business strategy, which includes the following key elements:

. continued expansion of automobile contract purchase volume;

. continued and successful use of proprietary scoring models for risk-
based pricing;

. the use of sophisticated risk management techniques;

. continued investment in technology to support operating efficiency and
growth; and

. funding and liquidity through securitizations.

Our failure or inability to execute any element of our business strategy could
materially adversely affect our financial position, liquidity and results of
operations.

We plan to expand our indirect automobile finance business by adding
additional branch offices and by increasing the dealer penetration of our
existing branch offices. The success of this strategy is dependent upon, among
other factors, our ability to hire and retain qualified branch managers and
other personnel, to develop relationships with more dealers and to expand our
current relationships with existing dealer customers. We confront intense
competition in attracting key personnel and establishing relationships with new
dealers. Dealers often already have favorable non-prime financing sources,
which may restrict our ability to develop dealer relationships and delay our
growth. In addition, the competitive conditions in our markets may result in a
reduction in the profitability of the contracts that we purchase or a decrease
in contract acquisition volume, which would adversely affect our results of
operations.

The growth of our servicing portfolio has resulted in increased need for
additional personnel and expansion of systems capacity. Our ability to support,
manage and control growth is dependent upon, among other things, our ability to
hire, train, supervise and manage our growing workforce. There can be no
assurance that we will have trained personnel and systems adequate to support
our growth strategy.

We may be unable to successfully compete in our industry

Competition in the field of non-prime automobile finance is intense. The
automobile finance market is highly fragmented and is served by a variety of
financial entities including:

. the captive finance affiliates of major automotive manufacturers;

. banks;

. thrifts;

. credit unions; and

. independent finance companies.

Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial resources
and lower costs of funds than us. Many of these competitors also have long
standing relationships with automobile dealerships and may offer dealerships or
their customers other forms of financing, including dealer floor plan financing
and leasing, which

are not provided by us. Providers of automobile financing have traditionally
competed on the basis of interest rate charged, the quality of credit accepted,
the flexibility of loan terms offered and the quality of service provided to
dealers and customers. In seeking to establish ourself as one of the principal
financing sources of the dealers we serve, we compete predominately on the
basis of our high level of dealer service and strong dealer relationships and
by offering flexible loan terms. There can be no assurance that we will be able
to compete successfully in this market or against these competitors.

We are involved and will likely continue to be a party to litigation

As a result of the consumer-oriented nature of the industry in which we
operate and uncertainties with respect to the application of various laws and
regulations in some circumstances, industry participants are named from time to
time as defendants in litigation involving alleged violations of federal and
state consumer lending or other similar laws and regulations. A significant
judgment against us in connection with any litigation could have a material
adverse affect on our financial condition and results of operations. In
addition, if it were determined that a material number of contracts purchased
by us involved violations of applicable lending laws by automobile dealers, our
financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely
affected.

As a company subject to federal and state securities laws and court
decisions, as well as rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission, we
are subject to the risk of litigation and claims arising under these securities
laws, court decisions, rules and regulations. On April 8, 1999, a putative
class action complaint was filed against us and certain of our officers and
directors alleging violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 arising from our use of the cash-in method of measuring and accounting
for credit enhancement assets in our financial statements for the second, third
and fourth quarters of fiscal year 1997, fiscal year 1998 and the first quarter
of fiscal year 1999. We are also the defendant in a putative class action
complaint filed in California in which the plantiffs allege defaults in our
post-repossession notice forms. An adverse resolution of these lawsuits, or any
future lawsuits or claims against us, could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our business would be adversely affected if we lost our licenses or if future,
more burdensome government regulations were enacted

Our business is subject to numerous federal and state consumer protection
laws and regulations which, among other things:

. require us to obtain and maintain licenses and qualifications;

. limit the interest rates, fees and other charges we are allowed to
charge;

. limit or prescribe other terms of our automobile installment sales
contracts;

. require specific disclosures; and

. define our rights to repossess and sell collateral.

We believe we are in substantial compliance with all of these laws and
regulations, and that these laws and regulations have had no material adverse
effect on our ability to operate our business. Changes in existing laws or
regulations, or in the interpretation, or the promulgation of any additional
laws or regulations, could have a material adverse effect on our business. In
addition, we retain some of the regulatory risk on receivables sold in
securitizations as a result of representations and warranties made by us in
these transactions.

Our operations might suffer from Year 2000 computer problems

The year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs and embedded
hardware systems having been developed using two digits rather than four to
define the applicable year. These computer programs or hardware

that have date-sensitive software or embedded chips may use a date using "00"
as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in system
failures or miscalculations causing disruptions or failure to our operations
including, among other things, a temporary inability to transact new business
or communicate with our customers online. We have substantially completed our
year 2000 compliance review, which included obtaining certifications from third
party software vendors regarding the year 2000 compliance of their software
applications, testing our core operating systems and identifying and repairing
any problems, and we believe that we are year 2000 compliant. However, we may
experience degradation in the performance of our systems or complete systems
failure if our assessment is erroneous or if we encounter unforseen
difficulties. Any of these events, whether occurring in our systems, or the
systems of others, could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. You should read "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Year
2000 Issue" for more detailed explanation of our state of readiness and
potential risks regarding year 2000 compliance.

Our stock price may be volatile

The market price of our common stock has fluctuated in the past and is
likely to fluctuate in the future. In addition, the securities markets have
experienced significant price and volume fluctuations and the market prices of
the securities of finance-related companies including automobile finance
companies have been especially volatile. Such fluctuations can result from:

. quarterly variations in operating results;

. changes in analysts' estimates;

. short-selling of our common stock;

. events affecting other companies that investors deem to be comparable to
us;

. factors which have the effect of increasing, or which investors believe
may have the effect of increasing, our cost of funds, including any
downgrade in our credit ratings by major rating agencies; and

. general economic trends and conditions.

Investors may be unable to resell their shares of our common stock at or
above the offering price. In the past, companies that have experienced
volatility in the market price of their stock have been the object of
securities class action litigation. We are the object of securities class
action litigation. Securities class action litigation could result in
substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources. See
"Price Range of Common Stock."

Our shareholder rights plan, articles of incorporation, bylaws, Texas law and
contractual provisions could adversely affect the performance of our stock

Our shareholder rights plan and provisions of our articles of incorporation
and bylaws and of the Texas Business Corporation Act could make it more
difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial
to our shareholders. The shareholder rights plan and these provisions of our
articles of incorporation, bylaws and Texas law are intended to encourage
potential acquirers to negotiate with us and allow our board of directors the
opportunity to consider alternative proposals in the interest of maximizing
shareholder value. However, such provisions may also discourage acquisition
proposals or delay or prevent a change in control, which could harm our stock
price.

In addition, the terms of our employment agreements with our senior
executives contain provisions calling for payments upon a change of control,
and our option agreements vest immediately upon occurrence of a change in
control. These provisions could have the effect of increasing the cost of a
change in control and

thereby delay or hinder such a change in control. See "Management--Employment
Contracts, Termination of Employment and Change-in-Control Arrangements." Some
of our credit facilities and warehouse facilities also have provisions which
give rise to events of default on the occurrence of a change in control. These
provisions could have the effect of increasing the cost of a change in control
of the Company.

Management has broad discretion in the use of proceeds

We plan to use the proceeds from this offering primarily to fund our
growth, to support securitization transactions and for working capital and
general corporate purposes. Therefore, we will have discretion as to how we
will spend the proceeds, which could be in ways with which the shareholders may
not agree. We can provide no assurance that the proceeds will be invested to
yield a favorable return. See "Use of Proceeds."

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference contain certain
forward-looking statements about our financial condition, results of operations
and business. These statements may be made expressly in this document, or may
be "incorporated by reference" to other documents we have filed with the
Commission. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as
"believes", "expects", "anticipates", "estimates", or similar expressions used
in this prospectus or documents incorporated in this prospectus.

These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks
and uncertainties. Factors which may cause our actual results, performance or
achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by us in those statements include, among
others, the following:

. our ability to pay interest and principal on a large amount of debt;

. changes in our customers' demands;

. seasonal changes in customer demands;

. our ability, and the ability of our customers and vendors, to become
year 2000 compliant;

. the competitive nature of the automobile finance business; and

. general economic conditions and the interest rate environment.

Because such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual
results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-
looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such
statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus or, in the case
of documents incorporated by reference, as of the date of such document.

We do not undertake any responsibility to release publicly any revisions to
these forward-looking statements to take into account events or circumstances
that occur after the date of this prospectus. Additionally, we do not undertake
any responsibility to update you on the occurrence of any unanticipated events
which may cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by the
forward-looking statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will receive net proceeds from the sale of the 8,000,000 shares of
common stock offered by us of approximately $120.8 million (approximately
$139.0 million if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in
full), in each case assuming a public offering price of $16.00 and after
deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and offering
expenses payable by us. The primary purpose of the offering is to provide us
with additional capital to fund our growth, including increasing the amount of
automobile and other loans we can acquire, originate and hold for pooling and
sale in the asset-backed securities market, to support securitization
transactions and for other working capital needs and general corporate
purposes. The net proceeds may be used to reduce our balances under our
existing warehouse facilities, credit agreement and mortgage subsidiary credit
agreement. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources."

We have a funding agreement with $505.0 million of structured warehouse
financing available. Advances bear interest at commercial paper, London
Interbank Offered Rates ("LIBOR") or prime rates plus specified fees depending
upon the source of funds provided by the agent to CP Funding Corp., a special
purpose finance subsidiary. The funding agreement expires in September 1999.
Borrowings of $233.7 million were outstanding under this agreement as of March
31, 1999. We also have a mortgage warehouse facility under which we may borrow
up to $75.0 million. Borrowings bear interest, at our option, at either the
prime rate or LIBOR plus 1.50%. The facility expires in July 1999. Borrowings
of $21.3 million were outstanding under this agreement as of March 31, 1999.
Our Canadian subsidiary has a revolving credit agreement with a commitment of
$20.0 million Cdn., and with borrowings of $603,000 outstanding as of March 31,
1999. This Canadian facility expires in November 1999, and borrowings under
this facility bear interest at the Canadian prime rate. See Note 5 to Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

We generate earnings and cash flow primarily from the purchase,
securitization and servicing of auto receivables. We purchase auto finance
contracts from franchised and select independent automobile dealerships. To
fund the acquisition of receivables prior to securitization, we utilize
borrowings under our warehouse and credit facilities. We generate finance
charge income on our receivables pending securitization ("receivables held for
sale") and pay interest expense on borrowings under our warehouse and credit
facilities.

We sell receivables to securitization trusts that in turn sell asset-backed
securities to investors. By securitizing our receivables, we are able to lock
in the gross interest rate spread between the yield on such receivables and the
interest rate payable on the asset-backed securities. We recognize a gain on
the sale of receivables to the Trusts which represents the difference between
the sale proceeds to us, net of transaction costs, and our net carrying value
of the receivables, plus the present value of the estimated future excess cash
flows to be received by us over the life of the securitization. Excess cash
flows result from the difference between the interest received from the
obligors on the receivables and the interest paid to investors in the asset-
backed securities, net of credit losses and expenses.

Excess cash flows from the Trusts are initially utilized to fund credit
enhancement requirements to secure financial guaranty insurance policies issued
by an insurance company to protect investors in the asset-backed securities
from losses. Once predetermined credit enhancement requirements are reached and
maintained, excess cash flows are distributed to us. In addition to excess cash
flows, we earn monthly base servicing fee income of 2.25% per annum of the
outstanding principal balance of receivables securitized ("serviced
receivables").

In November 1996, we acquired AmeriCredit Mortgage Services ("AMS"), which
originates and sells mortgage loans. We accounted for the acquisition as a
purchase and the results of operations for AMS have been included in the
consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date. Receivables
originated in this business are referred to as mortgage receivables. These
receivables are generally packaged and sold for cash on a servicing released
whole-loan basis. We recognize a gain at the time of sale.

We restated our financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30,
1996, 1997 and 1998 and interim periods within those fiscal years as a result
of a retroactive change in our method of measuring and accounting for credit
enhancement assets to the cash-out method from the cash-in method. See Note 2
of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

========== ==========

Average managed receivables outstanding increased by 93% as a result of
higher loan purchase volume. We purchased $1,176.7 million of auto loans during
the nine months ended March 31, 1998, compared to purchases of $1,990.9 million
during the nine months ended March 31, 1999. This growth resulted from higher
loan production at branches open during both periods as well as expansion of
our loan production capacity. We operated 119 auto lending branch offices as of
March 31, 1998, compared to 168 as of March 31, 1999.

We originated $94.5 million of mortgage loans during the nine months ended
March 31, 1998, compared to $203.5 million during the nine months ended March
31, 1999.

Finance charge income consisted of the following:

1998 1999
-------- --------
(in thousands)

Auto....................................................... $ 39,032 $ 49,798
Mortgage................................................... 1,020 1,740
-------- --------
$ 40,052 $ 51,538
======== ========

The increase in finance charge income is due primarily to an increase of
20% in average auto receivables held for sale in the nine months ended March
31, 1998 versus the nine months ended March 31, 1999. In addition, the
effective yield on our auto receivables held for sale increased from 21.3% for
the nine months ended March 31, 1998 to 22.7% for the nine months ended March
31, 1999. The effective yield is higher than the contractual rates of our auto
finance contracts as a result of finance charge income earned between the date
the automobile dealership originates the auto finance contract and the date we
fund the auto finance contract. The effective yield rose for the nine months
ended March 31, 1999 due to increased auto loan purchases and correspondingly
higher levels of finance charges earned between the origination date and
funding date.

The gain on sale of receivables consisted of the following:

Mortgage.................................................Mortgage.................................................. 3,010 5,099
-------- ---------
$ 71,838 $ 116,551
======== =========

The increase in gain on sale of auto receivables resulted from the sale of
$1,117.5 million of receivables in the nine months ended March 31, 1998 as
compared to $1,920.0 million of receivables sold in the nine months ended March
31, 1999. The gain as a percentage of the sales proceeds decreased from 6.2%
for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 to 5.8% for the nine months ended
March 31, 1999 primarily as a result of lower gross interest rate spreads.

Significant assumptions used in determining the gain on sale of auto
receivables were as follows:

Nine Months Ended
March 31,
-----------------------------------
1998 1999
-------- -----------------

Cumulative credit losses.................................losses.................................. 10.4% 10.6%
Discount rate used to estimate present value:
Interest-only receivables from Trusts..................Trusts................... 12.0% 12.0%
Investments in Trust receivables.......................receivables........................ 7.8% 7.8%
Restricted cash........................................cash......................................... 7.8% 7.8%

The increase in the gain on sale of mortgage receivables resulted from the
sale of $70.7 million of receivables in the nine months ended March 31, 1998,
compared to $199.0 million of receivables sold in the nine months ended March
31, 1999. The average premium received on sales decreased from 4.3% for the
nine months ended March 31, 1998 to 2.6% for the nine months ended March 31,
1999 because of lower prices for non-conforming mortgage loans in the secondary
markets.

Servicing fee income increased from $34.4 million for the nine months ended
March 31, 1998, to $61.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1999.
Servicing fee income decreased as a percentage of average serviced auto
receivables from 3.7% for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 to 3.2% for the
nine months ended March 31, 1999, as a result of charges to increase credit
loss reserves. Servicing fee income represents accretion of the present value
discount on estimated future excess cash flows from the Trusts, base servicing
fees and other fees we earned as servicer of the auto receivables sold to the
Trusts. Servicing fee income for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999
also includes charges of $4.4 million and $13.4 million, respectively, to
increase credit loss reserves related to certain of our fiscal 1996 and 1997
securitization transactions since our current estimates of cumulative credit
losses for these transactions exceed the original estimates. We have raised the
assumptions for cumulative credit losses for securitization transactions
completed subsequent to fiscal 1997 compared to assumptions used for
transactions completed in fiscal 1996 and 1997. The growth in servicing fee
income exclusive of the aforementioned charge is attributable to the increase
in average serviced auto receivables outstanding for the nine months ended
March 31, 1998 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 1999.

Costs and Expenses. Operating expenses as an annualized percentage of
average managed receivables outstanding decreased from 5.9% (5.5% excluding
operating expenses of $3.9 million relating to AMS) for the nine months ended
March 31, 1998, to 5.3% (5.0% excluding operating expenses of $6.7 million
relating to AMS) for the nine months ended March 31, 1999. The ratio improved
as a result of economies of scale realized from a growing receivables portfolio
and automation of loan origination, processing and servicing functions. The
dollar amount of operating expenses increased by $49.7 million, or 75%,
primarily due to the addition of auto lending branch offices and management and
auto loan processing and servicing staff.

The provision for losses increased from $5.5 million for the nine months
ended March 31, 1998 to $6.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1999
due to higher average amounts of auto receivables held for sale. As a
percentage of average auto receivables held for sale, the provision for losses
was 3.0% for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999.

Interest expense increased from $19.0 million for the nine months ended
March 31, 1998 to $25.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1999 due to
higher debt levels. Average debt outstanding was $271.7

27
million and $396.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999.
The effective rate of interest paid on our debt decreased from 9.3% to 8.6% as
a result of larger amounts of debt outstanding under our warehouse and credit
facilities for the nine months ended March 31, 1999. Interest rates on the
warehouse and credit facilities are lower than rates on the senior notes we
issued previously.

Our effective income tax rate was 38.5% for the nine months ended March 31,
1998 and 1999.

Pro-Forma "Portfolio-Based" Earnings Data. In addition to reporting results
of operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP"), we have elected to present pro-forma results of operations which
treat securitization transactions as financings rather than sales of
receivables. We refer to this presentation as pro-forma "portfolio-based"
earnings data.

In our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP,
we record a gain on the sale of receivables in securitization transactions
primarily representing the present value of estimated future net cash

27
flows
related to the receivables sold. Future net cash flows consist of finance
charges and fees to be collected on the receivables less interest payable on
the asset-backed securities, credit losses and expenses of the securitization
trust. We also earn servicing fees for managing the receivables sold.

The pro-forma "portfolio-based" earnings data presents our operating
results under the assumption that securitization transactions are financings
and no gain on sale or servicing fee income is recognized. Instead, finance
charges and fees are recognized over the life of the securitized receivables as
accrued and interest and other costs related to the asset-backed securities are
also recognized as accrued. Credit losses are recorded as incurred.

While the pro-forma "portfolio-based" earnings data does not purport to
present our operating results in accordance with GAAP, we believe such
presentation provides another measure for assessing our performance.

The pro-forma "portfolio-based" earnings data are as follows:

Average managed receivables outstanding increased by 108% as a result of
higher loan purchase volume. We purchased $906.8 million of auto loans during
fiscal 1997, compared to purchases of $1,737.8 million during fiscal 1998. This
growth resulted from loan production at branches open during both periods as
well as expansion of our loan production capacity. We operated 85 auto lending
branch offices as of June 30, 1997, compared to 129 as of June 30, 1998.

We originated $53.8 million of mortgage loans from the date of acquisition
of AMS through June 30, 1997 compared to $137.2 million during fiscal 1998.

========= =========

The increase in finance charge income is due to an increase of 12% in
average auto receivables held for sale for fiscal 1997 versus fiscal 1998. In
addition, the effective yield on our auto receivables held for sale increased
from 19.9% for fiscal 1997 to 21.6% for fiscal 1998. The effective yield is
higher than the contractual rates on our auto finance contracts as a result of
finance charge income earned between the date the automobile dealership
originates the auto finance contract and the date we fund the auto finance
contract. The effective yield rose for fiscal 1998 due to increased auto loan
purchases and correspondingly higher levels of finance charges earned between
the origination date and funding date.

Mortgage...............................................Mortgage................................................ 2,918 4,352

$ 52,323 $ 103,194
========= ==========

The increase in gain on sale of auto receivables resulted from the sale of
$817.5 million of receivables in fiscal 1997 as compared to $1,637.5 million of
receivables sold in fiscal 1998. The gains amounted to 6% of the sales proceeds
for both fiscal 1997 and 1998.

Significant assumptions used in determining the gain on sale of auto
receivables were as follows:

Year Ended June 30,
---------------------------------------
1997 1998
--------- -------------------

Cumulative credit losses...............................losses................................ 9.2% 10.7%
Discount rate used to determine present value:
Interest-only receivables from Trusts................Trusts................. 12.0% 12.0%
Investments in Trust receivables.....................receivables...................... 7.8% 7.8%
Restricted case......................................case....................................... 7.8% 7.8%

The discount rates used to estimate the present value of credit enhancement
assets are based on the relative risk of each asset type. Interest-only
receivables represent estimated future excess cash flows in the Trusts, which
involves a greater degree of risk than investments in Trust receivables and
restricted cash. Investments in Trust receivables and restricted cash represent
assets currently held by the Trustee and are senior to interest-only
receivables for credit enhancement purposes.

The increase in gain on sale of mortgage receivables resulted from the sale
of $52.5 million of receivables from the date of acquisition of AMS through
June 30, 1997 compared to $119.7 million of receivables sold during fiscal
1998. The average premium received on sales decreased from 5.6% for the period
from the date of acquisition of AMS through June 30, 1997 to 3.6% for fiscal
1998 because of lower prices for non-conforming mortgage loans in the secondary
markets.

Servicing fee income increased from $23.5 million for fiscal 1997, to $47.9
million for fiscal 1998. Servicing fee income decreased as a percentage of
average serviced auto receivables from 4.1% in fiscal 1997 to 3.4% in fiscal
1998, as a result of charges to increase credit loss reserves. Servicing fee
income represents accretion of the present value discount on estimated future
excess cash flows from the Trusts, base servicing fees and other fees we earned
as servicer of the receivables sold to the Trusts. Servicing fee income for
fiscal 1998 also includes an $8.9 million charge to increase credit loss
reserves related to certain of our fiscal 1996 and 1997 securitization
transactions since our current estimates of cumulative credit losses for these
transactions exceed the original estimates. We have raised the assumptions for
cumulative credit losses for securitization transactions completed in fiscal
1998 compared to assumptions used for transactions completed in prior fiscal
years. The growth in servicing fee income exclusive of the aforementioned
charge is attributable to the increase in average serviced auto receivables
outstanding for fiscal 1997 compared to fiscal 1998.

Costs and Expenses. Operating expenses as a percentage of average managed
receivables outstanding decreased from 6.6% (6.2% excluding operating expenses
of $2.6 million relating to AMS) for fiscal 1997 to 5.7% (5.4% excluding
operating expenses of $5.1 million relating to AMS) for fiscal 1998. The ratio
improved as a result of economies of scale realized from a growing receivables
portfolio and automation of loan origination, processing and servicing
functions. The dollar amount of operating expenses increased by $42.6 million,
or 82%, primarily due to the addition of auto lending branch offices and
management and auto loan processing and servicing staff.

The provision for losses increased from $6.6 million for fiscal 1997 to
$7.6 million for fiscal 1998 due to higher average amounts of auto receivables
held for sale. As a percentage of average receivables held for sale, the
provision for losses was 3% for fiscal 1997 and 1998.

Interest expense increased from $16.3 million for fiscal 1997 to $27.1
million for fiscal 1998 due to higher debt levels and effective interest rates.
Average debt outstanding was $187.6 million and $297.6 million for fiscal 1997
and 1998, respectively. The effective rate of interest paid on our debt
increased from 8.7% to 9.1% as a result of the issuance of senior notes in
February 1997 and January 1998.

Our effective income tax rate was 38.5% for fiscal 1997 and 1998.

Year Ended June 30, 1996 as compared to Year Ended June 30, 1997

Revenue. Our average managed receivables outstanding consisted of the
following:

Other................................................... 443 --
--------- ---------
$ 358,409 $ 800,342
========= =========

Average managed receivables outstanding increased by 123% as a result of
higher loan purchase volume. We purchased $432.4 million of auto loans during
fiscal 1996, compared to purchases of $906.8 million during fiscal 1997. This
growth resulted from loan production at branches open during both periods as
well as expansion of our loan production capacity. We operated 51 branch
offices as of June 30, 1996, compared to 85 as of June 30, 1997.

We originated $53.8 million of mortgage loans from the date of acquisition
of AMS through June 30, 1997.

Finance charge income consisted of the following:

Other...................................................Other.................................................... 27 --
--------- ---------
$ 51,706 $ 44,910
========= =========

The decrease in finance charge income is due to a reduction of 15% in
average auto receivables held for sale for fiscal 1996 versus fiscal 1997.
Prior to December 1995, all of the auto finance contracts we purchased were
held on our consolidated balance sheet. We began selling auto receivables to
the Trusts in December 1995, reducing average receivables held for sale with
corresponding increases in average serviced receivables. The effective yield on
our auto receivables held for sale increased from 19.7% for fiscal 1996 to
19.9% for fiscal 1997.

The gain on sale of receivables consisted of the following:

Year Ended June 30,
-------------------
1996 1997
--------- ---------
(in thousands)

Auto....................................................Auto..................................................... $ 21,405 $ 49,405
Mortgage................................................Mortgage................................................. -- 2,918
--------- ---------
$ 21,405 $ 52,323
========= =========

The increase in gain on sale of auto receivables resulted from the sale of
$270.4 million of receivables in fiscal 1996 compared to $817.5 million of
receivables sold in fiscal 1997. The gains amounted to 7.9% and 6.0% of the
sales proceeds for fiscal 1996 and 1997, respectively.

Significant assumptions used in determining the gain on sale of auto
receivables were as follows:

Year Ended June 30,
-------------------
1996 1997
--------- ---------

Cumulative credit losses................................losses................................. 9.3% 9.2%
Discount rate used to determine present value:
Interest-only receivables from Trusts.................Trusts.................. 12.0% 12.0%
Investments in Trust receivables......................receivables....................... 7.8% 7.8%
Restricted cash.......................................cash........................................ 7.8% 7.8%

The discounted rates used to determine the present value of credit
enhancement assets are based on the relative risks of each asset type.
Interest-only receivables represent estimated future excess cash flows in the
Trusts, which involves a greater degree of risk than investments in Trust
receivables and restricted cash. Investments in Trust receivables and
restricted cash represent assets currently held by the trustee and are senior
to the interest-only receivables for credit enhancement purposes.

The gain on sale of mortgage receivables resulted from the sale of $52.5
million of receivables from the date of acquisition of AMS through June 30,
1997.

Servicing fee income increased from $3.9 million for fiscal 1996 to $23.5
million for fiscal 1997. Servicing fee income increased as a percentage of
average serviced auto receivables from 4.0% in fiscal 1996 to 4.1% in fiscal
1997. Servicing fee income represents accretion of the present value discount
on estimated future excess cash flows from the Trusts, base servicing fees and
other fees we earned as servicer of the auto receivables sold to the Trusts.
The growth in servicing fee income is attributable to the increase in serviced
auto receivables outstanding for fiscal 1996 compared to fiscal 1997.

Costs and Expenses. Operating expenses as a percentage of average managed
receivables outstanding decreased from 7.2% for fiscal 1996 to 6.6% (6.2%
excluding operating expenses of $2.6 million related to AMS) for fiscal 1997.
The ratio improved as a result of economies of scale realized from a growing
receivables portfolio and automation of loan origination, processing and
servicing functions. The dollar amount of operating expenses increased by $26.2
million, or 102%, primarily due to the addition of auto lending branch offices
and management and auto loan processing and servicing staff.

The provision for losses decreased from $7.9 million for fiscal 1996 to
$6.6 million for fiscal 1997 due to higher average amounts of receivables held
for sale. As a percentage of average receivables held for sale, the provision
for losses was 3% for fiscal 1996 and 1997.

Interest expense increased from $13.1 million for fiscal 1996 to $16.3
million for fiscal 1997 due to higher debt levels and effective interest rates.
Average debt outstanding was $156.4 million and $187.6 million for fiscal 1996
and 1997, respectively. The effective rate of interest paid on our debt
increased from 8.4% to 8.7% as a result of the issuance of our 9 1/4% Senior
Notes in February 1997.

Our effective income tax rate increased from 37.0% for fiscal 1996 to 38.5%
for fiscal 1997 due to a larger portion of our income being generated in states
which have higher tax rates.

Credit Quality

We provide financing in relatively high-risk markets and, therefore,
charge-offs are anticipated. We record a periodic provision for losses as a
charge to operations and a related allowance for losses in our consolidated
balance sheets as a reserve against estimated losses which may occur in the
receivables held for sale portfolio prior to the sale of such receivables in
securitization transactions. We typically purchase individual finance contracts
for a non-refundable acquisition fee on a non-recourse basis. We record such
acquisition fees in the consolidated balance sheets as an allowance for losses.
When we sell auto receivables to the Trusts, we reduce the calculation of the
gain on sale of receivables by an estimate of future cumulative credit losses
over the expected life of the auto receivables sold.

32
We sell mortgage receivables for cash on a servicing released, whole-loan
basis. We generally hold such receivables for less than 90 days. Accordingly,
we provide no allowance for losses for the mortgage receivables.

We review:

.static. static pool origination and charge-off relationships;

.charge-off. charge-off experience factors;

.collection. collection data;

.delinquency. delinquency reports;

.estimates. estimates of the value of the underlying collateral;

.economic. economic conditions and trends; and

.other. other information

in order to make the necessary judgments as to the appropriateness of the
assumptions for cumulative credit losses in securitization transactions,
provision for losses and allowance for losses. Although we use many resources
to assess the adequacy of loss reserves, there is no precise method for
estimating the ultimate losses in the receivables portfolio.

In accordance with our policies and guidelines, we at times offer payment
deferrals to consumers, whereby the consumer is allowed to move a delinquent
payment to the end of the loan by paying a fee, which is approximately the
interest portion of the payment deferred. Contracts receiving a payment
deferral as an average quarterly percentage of average managed auto receivables
outstanding were 1.9%, 4.3% and 4.5% for fiscal 1996, 1997 and 1998,
respectively, and 4.5% and 4.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 and
1999, respectively. We believe that payment deferrals granted according to our
policies and guidelines are an effective portfolio management technique and
result in higher ultimate cash collections from the portfolio.

Our primary sources of cash have been cash flows from operating activities,
including excess cash flow distributions from the Trusts, borrowings under our
warehouse and credit facilities, sales of auto receivables to Trusts in
securitization transactions, and the issuance of senior notes. Our primary uses
of cash have been purchases and originations of receivables and funding credit
enhancement requirements for securitization transactions.

We purchased $432.4 million, $906.8 million and $1,737.8 million of auto
finance contracts during fiscal 1996, 1997 and 1998 requiring cash of $417.2
million, $896.7 million and $1,717.0 million, respectively, net of acquisition
fees and other items. We purchased $1,176.7 million and $1,990.9 million of
auto finance contracts during the nine months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999,
respectively, requiring cash of $1,163.0 million and $1,983.8 million,
respectively, net of acquisition fees and other items. We initially funded
these purchases utilizing warehouse and credit facilities and subsequently
through the sale of auto receivables in securitization transactions.

In September 1998, we renewed our funding agreement with an administrative
agent on behalf of an institutionally managed commercial paper conduit and a
group of banks and increased the amount of structured warehouse financing
available under the agreement from $245.0 million to $505.0 million. We utilize
this facility to fund auto receivables pending securitization. This facility
matures in September 1999. A total of $233.7 million was outstanding under this
facility as of March 31, 1999.

In March 1999, we entered into a funding agreement with a funding agent on
behalf of an institutionally managed commercial paper conduit and a bank under
which up to $150.0 million of structured warehouse financing is available. In
June 1999, this facility was increased to $375.0 million. We utilize this
facility to fund auto receivables pending securitization. There were no
outstanding balances under this agreement as of March 31, 1999. The facility
matures in March 2000.

In March 1999, we renewed our revolving credit agreement with a group of
banks that provides for borrowings up to $115.0 million, subject to a defined
borrowing base. We utilize the line of credit to fund our auto lending
activities and daily operations. The facility matures in March 2000. There were
no outstanding balances under the credit agreement as of March 31, 1999.

Our Canadian subsidiary has a convertible revolving term credit agreement
with a bank that provides for borrowings of up to $20.0 million Cdn., subject
to a defined borrowing base. We utilize this facility to fund our Canadian auto
lending activities. The facility matures in November 1999. A total of $603,000
was outstanding under the Canadian facility as of March 31, 1999.

Borrowings under our auto receivable warehouse lines, our revolving credit
agreement and our Canadian subsidiary revolving credit agreement are secured by
pledges of our auto loans prior to their sale in securitization transactions
and are subject to defined borrowing bases.

In February 1999, we renewed our mortgage warehouse facility with a bank
under which we may borrow up to $75.0 million, subject to a defined borrowing
base, to fund mortgage loan originations. The facility expires in July 1999. A
total of $21.3 million was outstanding under the mortgage facility as of March
31, 1999.

As is customary in our industry, our warehouse and credit facilities need
to be renewed on an annual basis. We have historically been successful in
renewing and expanding these facilities on an annual basis. If we are unable to
renew these facilities on acceptable terms, it could have a material adverse
effect on our financial position, liquidity and results of operation. See "Risk
Factors."

3536

We have completed 17 auto receivables securitization transactions through
June 30, 1999. We primarily used the proceeds from the transactions to repay
borrowings outstanding under our warehouse and credit facilities. A summary of
these transactions is as follows:

======== ============

In connection with securitization transactions, we are required to fund
certain credit enhancement levels set by the insurer of the asset-backed
securities issued by the Trusts. We typically make an initial deposit to a
restricted cash account and subsequently use excess cash flows generated by the
Trusts to either increase the restricted cash account or repay the outstanding
asset-backed securities on an accelerated basis, thus creating additional
credit enhancement through over-collateralization in the Trusts. When the
credit enhancement levels reach specified percentages of the Trust's pool of
receivables, excess cash flows are distributed to us.

When excess cash flow distributions are received depends on the type of
structure used. Historically, we have used a structure that involved a higher
initial cash deposit that resulted in receipt of excess cash flow distributions
approximately seven to nine months after the receivables were securitized.
Beginning in November 1997, we began to employ a structure that involves a
lower initial cash deposit and the use of reinsurance and other alternative
credit enhancements. Under this structure, we expect to begin to receive excess
cash flow distributions approximately 20 to 24 months after receivables are
securitized. For a description of the risks related to the use of reinsurance
and other alternative credit enhancements, see "Risk Factors."

Initial deposits to restricted cash accounts were $2.9 million, $71.4
million and $56.7 million for fiscal years 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively,
and $43.4 million and $57.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1998
and 1999, respectively. Excess cash flows distributed to us were $1.2 million,
$19.3 million and $43.8 million for fiscal years 1996, 1997 and 1998,
respectively, and $27.1 million and $35.2 million for the nine months ended
March 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively. In addition, we received $23.0 million
representing a return of deposits from restricted cash accounts during the nine
months ended March 31, 1999.

Certain agreements with the insurer provide that if delinquency, default
and net loss ratios in a Trust's pool of receivables exceed certain targets,
the specified credit enhancement levels would be increased. As of March 31,
1999, none of our securitizations had delinquency, default and net loss ratios
in excess of the targeted levels.

3637

In February 1997 and January 1998, we issued $125.0 million and $50.0
million, respectively, of 9 1/4% Senior Notes which are due in February 2004.
Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually, in February and August. The
notes, which are unsecured, may be redeemed at the our option after February
2001 at a premium declining to par in February 2003.

In April 1999, we issued $200.0 million of 9.875% Senior Notes which are
due in April 2006. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually, in April and
October. The notes, which are unsecured, may be redeemed at our option after
April 2003 at a premium declining to par in April 2005.

We operated 176 auto lending branch offices as of June 30, 1999. We may
also expand loan production capacity at existing auto lending branch offices
where appropriate. While we have been able to establish and grow our finance
businesses thus far, there can be no assurance that future expansion will be
successful due to competitive, regulatory, market, economic or other factors.

As of March 31, 1999, we had $36.8 million in cash and cash equivalents. We
also had available borrowing capacity of $76.3 million under our bank credit
agreement pursuant to the borrowing base requirements of such facility. We
estimate that we will require additional external capital for the remainder of
fiscal 1999 in addition to these existing capital resources in order to fund
expansion of our lending activities. We anticipate that such funding will be in
the form of additional securitization transactions and expansion of our
warehouse and credit facilities. There can be no assurance that funding will be
available to us through these sources, or if available, that it will be on
terms acceptable to us.

Interest Rate Risk

Since our funding strategy is dependent upon the issuance of interest-
bearing securities and the incurrence of debt, fluctuations in interest rates
impact our profitability. We utilize several strategies to minimize the risk of
interest rate fluctuations including the use of hedging instruments, the
regular sale of auto receivables to the Trusts and prefunding securitizations,
whereby the amount of asset-backed securities issued in a securitization
exceeds the amount of receivables initially sold to a Trust. The proceeds from
the pre-funded portion are held in an escrow account until we sell additional
receivables to the Trust in amounts up to the balance of the pre-funded escrow
account. In pre-funded securitizations, we lock in the borrowing costs with
respect to the loans we subsequently deliver to the Trust. However, we incur an
expense in pre-funded securitizations equal to the difference between the money
market yields earned on the proceeds held in escrow prior to subsequent
delivery of receivables and the interest rate paid on the asset-backed
securities outstanding. There can be no assurance that these strategies will be
effective in minimizing interest rate risk or that increases in interest rates
will not have an adverse effect on our profitability.

We utilize derivative financial instruments to manage the gross interest
rate spread on our securitization transactions. We sell fixed rate auto
receivables to Trusts that, in turn, sell either fixed rate or floating rate
securities to investors. The fixed rates on securities issued by the Trusts are
indexed to rates on U.S. Treasury notes with similar average maturities. We
periodically use forward U.S. Treasury rate lock agreements to lock in the
indexed rate for specific anticipated securitization transactions. The floating
rates on securities issued by the Trusts are indexed to London Interbank
Offered Rates. We use interest rate swap agreements to convert the floating
rate exposures on these securities to a fixed rate. We enter into the interest
rate swap agreements with banks that are highly rated at the time of entering
into the interest rate swap agreements.

We made cash payments of $6.2 million and $5.8 million for the nine months
ended March 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively, to settle Forward U.S. Treasury
rate lock agreements. These amounts were included in the gain on sale of
receivables in securitization transactions and are recovered over time through
a higher gross interest rate spread on the related securitization transaction.
There were no outstanding Forward U.S. Treasury rate lock agreements as of
March 31, 1999.

All of our interest rate swap agreements are associated with securitization
transactions completed prior to March 31, 1999 and the net market risk to us is
not material.

Recent Accounting Developments

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures About
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131"). SFAS 131
establishes standards for the way companies report information about operating
segments in annual financial statements and requires that enterprises report
selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. The
new pronouncement also establishes standards for related disclosures about
products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The statement is
effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15,
1997. Our auto finance business is currently the only segment reportable under
SFAS 131.

In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS
133"). SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, and for hedging activities. The new standard requires that all
derivatives be recognized as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated
balance sheets and that those instruments be measured at fair value. If certain
conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedging
instrument. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative (that
is, gains and losses) depends on the intended use of the derivative and the
resulting designation. The statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. While the new standard will apply
to our derivative financial instruments, we do not believe that adoption of
SFAS 133 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or
results of operations.

Year 2000 Issue

The year 2000 issue is whether our or our vendors' computer systems will
properly recognize date sensitive information when the year changes to 2000.
Systems that do not properly recognize such information could generate
erroneous data or fail.

We have developed a comprehensive project plan for achieving year 2000
readiness. We have completed an inventory of critical hardware and software and
we have assessed information technology components. This assessment included
major suppliers and business partners and we are monitoring their continued
progress toward year 2000 compliance; however, we do not rely on any single
supplier or partner to conduct business. We have completed the process of
renovating or replacing critical systems. Integrated testing and installation
of all renovated systems is complete. In addition, we are currently developing
contingency plans for critical systems. Year 2000 project costs incurred
through March 31, 1999 have been approximately $900,000. We expect to incur an
additional $100,000 of costs to fund year 2000 project efforts through the end
of calendar year 1999.

We presently believe that with modifications to existing systems and
conversion to new systems, the year 2000 issue will not pose significant
operational problems for us. However, there can be no assurance that unforeseen
problems in our computer systems, or the systems of third parties on which our
computers rely, would not have an adverse effect on our systems or operations.

BUSINESS

Overview

We generate earnings and cash flow primarily through the purchase,
retention, securitization and servicing of automobile receivables. In each
securitization, we sell automobile receivables to a trust that, in turn, sells
asset-backed securities to investors. We recognize a gain on the sale of the
receivables to the trust and receive monthly excess cash flow distributions
from the trust resulting from the difference between the interest received from
the consumer obligors on the receivables and the interest on the asset-backed
securities paid to investors, net of losses and expenses. Although the
aggregate amount of excess cash flow does not change, the timing of our receipt
of excess cash flow distributions is dependent upon the type of structure we
use. Historically, we used a structure that involved a higher initial cash
deposit and resulted in receipt of excess cash flow distributions approximately
seven to nine months after the receivables were securitized. Since November
1997, we have employed a structure that involves a lower initial cash deposit.
Under this structure, we expect to begin to receive excess cash flow
distributions approximately 20 to 24 months after the receivables are
securitized. We received excess cash flow of $43.8 million from securitization
trusts in fiscal 1998. Due to the time delay associated with distributions of
excess cash flow from securitizations, we expect to receive increased cash flow
distributions in fiscal 2000 from trusts created as a result of securitization
transactions occurring in fiscal 1998. Prior to the time when we begin to
receive excess cash flow, all excess cash flow is utilized to fund credit
enhancement requirements to secure financial guaranty insurance policies issued
by a monoline insurance company to protect investors in the asset-backed
securities from losses. Once predetermined credit enhancement requirements are
reached and maintained, excess cash flow is distributed to us. In addition to
excess cash flow, we earn servicing fees of 2.25% per annum of the outstanding
principal balance of receivables securitized. Over the four quarters ended
March 31, 1999 we completed four securitization transactions totaling $2.4
billion. We also completed a $1.0 billion securitization in May 1999.

Industry Overview

Market Size. According to CNW Marketing/Research, an independent automobile
finance market research firm, the automobile finance industry is the second
largest consumer finance industry in the United States with over $603 billion
of loan and lease originations during 1998. The industry is generally segmented
according to the type of car sold (new vs. used) and the credit characteristics
of the borrower (prime vs. non-prime segment). The non-prime segment of the
market accounted for approximately $188 billion of these originations,
including approximately $112 billion of new car loans and $76 billion of used
car loans.

3940

Competition in the field of automobile finance is intense. The automobile
finance market is highly fragmented and is served by a variety of financial
entities including the captive finance affiliates of major automotive
manufacturers, banks, thrifts, credit unions and independent finance companies.

Market Characteristics. The non-prime automobile finance industry has
certain characteristics which affect the strategies of indirect lenders,
including the following:

. Numerous Diverse Local Markets. Historically, increasing market share on
a national basis has meant developing relationships with automobile
dealerships in local markets. This has typically been accomplished
through the use of local marketing representatives or the placement of
branch offices in those markets. Credit decisions are made on either a
centralized basis or decentralized through branch offices where
approvals can be tailored to local market conditions.

. Increased Risk of Non-payment or Default. The rates of delinquencies,
defaults, repossessions and losses on loans to non-prime borrowers is
higher than that experienced in the general automobile finance industry.
Underwriting criteria, loan pricing and collection methods are,
therefore, structured to manage the higher risks inherent in loans to
non-prime borrowers.

. Lenders Compete on the Basis of Price and Service. Providers of
automobile financing have traditionally competed on the basis of
interest rates charged, the quality of credit accepted, the flexibility
of loan terms offered and the quality of service provided to dealers and
consumers. In order to compete effectively on a national basis lenders
must develop a low cost and efficient origination platform and a highly
automated loan processing and servicing function.

. Need for Significant Funding Capacity. Operating on a national basis as
a lender to non-prime borrowers requires substantial availability of
capital.

Our Solution

We have developed a business model and a technology platform that we
believe allows us to compete effectively in the non-prime automobile finance
business. The key aspects of our solution are:

Decentralized Marketing Platform. We purchase our automobile contracts
through a decentralized branch office network. We opened five branch offices in
fiscal 1993, 13 in fiscal 1994, 13 in fiscal 1995, 20 in fiscal 1996, 34 in
fiscal 1997, 44 in fiscal 1998, and 47 in fiscal 1999, bringing our branch
office network as of June 30, 1999 to 176 offices located in 41 states and two
Canadian provinces.

We believe that the personal relationships our branch managers and other
branch office personnel establish with the dealership personnel are an
important factor in creating and maintaining productive relationships with our
dealership customer base. A local presence enables us to more fully service
dealers and be more responsive to dealer concerns and local market conditions.

Use of Proprietary Credit Scoring Models for Risk-based Pricing. We have
developed and implemented a credit scoring system across our branch office
network to support the branch level credit approval process. Our proprietary
credit scoring models are designed to enable us to tailor each loan's pricing
and structure to a statistical assessment of the underlying credit risk. The
credit scoring system was developed with the assistance of Fair, Isaac and Co.,
Inc. from our consumer demographic and portfolio databases. The credit
scorecards we use to differentiate credit applicants and to assess credit risk
are proprietary to us.

Sophisticated Risk Management Techniques. Our centralized risk management
department is responsible for monitoring the origination process, supporting
management's supervision of each branch office, tracking collateral values of
our receivables portfolio and monitoring portfolio returns. The risk management
department uses proprietary databases to identify concentrations of risk, to
price for the risk associated with selected market segments and to endeavor to
enhance the credit quality and profitability of the contracts

4041

purchased. Though originations and approvals are made on a decentralized,
branch-level basis, credit decisions must comply with our credit scoring
strategies and underwriting policies and procedures.

High Investment in Technology to Support Operating Efficiency and Growth. A
high level of automation in both loan origination and servicing has enabled us
to become a low-cost provider in the non-prime automobile finance market. Our
annualized ratio of operating expenses to average managed receivables was 10.0%
for fiscal 1995, 7.2% for fiscal 1996, 6.2% for fiscal 1997, 5.4% for fiscal
1998 and 5.0% for the nine months ended March 31, 1999. Because of our
investment in technology we have been able to streamline our loan origination
and servicing processes and take advantage of economies of scale.

Funding and Liquidity Through Securitizations. We sell automobile
receivables in securitization transactions in order to obtain a cost-effective,
lower-cost source of funds for the purchase of additional automobile finance
contracts, to reduce the risk of interest rate fluctuations and to utilize
capital efficiently. Since our first securitization transaction in December
1994, we have securitized approximately $5.8 billion of automobile receivables
in private and public offerings of asset-backed securities through June 1999,
including a $1.0 billion securitization in May 1999.

Our Business Strategy

Our principal objective is to continue to build upon our position as a
leading lender to non-prime borrowers in the automobile finance industry. To
achieve this objective, we are using the following strategies:

Continued Growth in Contract Purchase Volume. We are continuing to expand
and grow the quantity of automobile loans that we purchase. We intend to
increase our contract acquisition volumes through further expansion of our
automobile finance branch network, through increasing our market share in
existing branch territories and through marketing alliances with select
automobile dealer groups and prime automotive lenders, such as banks.

As part of our goal of increasing the number of dealers from whom we
purchase automobile finance contracts, we have entered into marketing alliances
with certain automobile dealer groups and regional banks. In addition, in March
1999 we announced a new marketing alliance with Chase Manhattan Bank, USA, N.A.
We currently provide non-prime automobile financing programs to select dealers
in Texas who have a relationship with Chase and, if this program is successful,
we will seek to expand it nationally.

Continued Enhancement of Proprietary Credit Scoring Models with New Data.
Our proprietary credit scorecards are validated on a monthly basis through the
comparison of actual versus projected performance by score. Using this
information and the data we derive in our lending business, we are continuing
to refine our proprietary scorecards based on new information and identified
correlations relating to receivables performance in an effort to effectively
manage our loan origination processes and balance credit risk and portfolio
returns.

Continued Investment in Technology. We intend to invest further in
technology to enable us to reduce our operating expenses relative to the size
of our managed receivables and to improve our service to dealers. Development
of new systems and automation of our processes will enhance our ability to
service dealers and provide for quicker credit decisions and faster contract
funding. In addition, we intend to continue to improve our loan servicing tools
in order to more efficiently allocate collection resources to those accounts
requiring the most attention.

Continued Efforts to Lower Our Cost of Funds. We plan to maintain our role
as a major issuer in the asset-backed securities market and seek innovative
structures and facilities to lower our cost of funds.

4142

Operations

Target Market. Our indirect automobile lending programs are designed to
serve customers who have limited access to traditional automobile financing.
Our typical borrowers have experienced prior credit difficulties or have
limited credit histories. Because we serve consumers who are unable to meet the
credit standards imposed by most traditional automobile financing sources, we
generally charge interest at rates higher than those charged by traditional
automobile financing sources. We also expect to sustain a higher level of
credit losses than traditional automobile financing sources since we provide
financing in a relatively high risk market.

Dealership Marketing. Since we are an indirect lender, we focus our
marketing activities on automobile dealerships. We are selective in choosing
the dealers with whom we conduct business. We primarily pursue manufacturer
franchised dealerships with used car operations and select independent
dealerships. We select these dealers because they sell the type of used cars we
prefer to finance, specifically later model, low mileage used cars. Of the
contracts we purchased during the nine months ended March 31, 1999,
approximately 95% were originated by manufacturer franchised dealers with used
car operations and 5% by select independent dealers. We purchased contracts
from 10,991 dealers during the nine months ended March 31, 1999. No dealer
accounted for more than 1% of the total volume of contracts we purchased for
that same period.

Prior to entering into a relationship with a dealer, we consider the
dealer's operating history and reputation in the marketplace. We then maintain
a non-exclusive relationship with the dealer. We actively monitor this
relationship with the objective of maximizing the volume of applications
received from the dealer that meet our underwriting standards and profitability
objectives. Due to the non-exclusive nature of our relationships with
dealerships, the dealerships retain discretion to determine whether to obtain
financing from us or from another source for a customer seeking to finance a
vehicle purchase. Branch managers and other branch office personnel regularly
telephone and visit dealers to solicit new business and to answer any questions
dealers may have regarding our financing programs and capabilities. These
personnel explain our underwriting philosophy, including our preference for
non-prime quality contracts secured by later model, lower mileage used vehicles
and our practice of underwriting in the local branch office. To increase the
effectiveness of these contacts, the branch managers and other branch office
personnel have access to our management information systems which detail
current information regarding the number of applications submitted by a
dealership, our response and the reasons why we rejected a particular
application.

We generally purchase finance contracts without recourse to the dealer, and
accordingly, the dealer usually has no liability to us if the consumer defaults
on the contract. To mitigate our risk from potential credit losses, we
typically charge dealers an acquisition fee when purchasing finance contracts.
We negotiate these acquisition fees with dealers on a contract-by-contract
basis and they are usually non-refundable. Although we purchase finance
contracts without recourse to the dealer, the dealer typically makes certain
representations as to the validity of the contract and compliance with certain
laws, and indemnifies us against any claims, defenses and set-offs that may be
asserted against us because of assignment of the contract. Recourse based upon
such representations and indemnities would be limited in circumstances in which
the dealer has insufficient financial resources to perform upon such
representations and indemnities. We do not view recourse against the dealer on
these representations and indemnities to be of material significance in our
decision to purchase finance contracts from a dealer.

Branch Office Network. We use our branch office network to market our
financing programs to selected dealers, develop relationships with dealers
throughout the country and to underwrite contracts submitted by dealerships.
Branch office personnel are responsible for the solicitation, enrollment and
education of new dealers regarding our financing programs. A local presence
enables us to more fully service dealers and be more responsive to dealer
concerns and local market conditions. We select markets for branch office
locations based upon numerous factors, including demographic trends and data,
competitive conditions and the regulatory environment in addition to the
availability of qualified personnel. Branch offices are typically situated in
suburban office buildings which are accessible to local dealers.

4243

Each branch office solicits dealers for contracts and maintains our
relationship with the dealers in the geographic vicinity of that branch office.
Branch office locations are typically staffed by a branch manager, an assistant
manager and one or more dealer and customer service representatives. Larger
branch offices may also have an additional assistant manager or dealer
marketing representative. We believe that the personal relationships our branch
managers and other branch office personnel establish with the dealership
personnel are an important factor in creating and maintaining productive
relationships with our dealership customer base. We compensate branch managers
with base salaries and annual incentives based on overall branch performance
including factors such as branch credit quality, loan pricing adequacy and loan
volume objectives. We typically pay the incentives in cash and stock option
grants. The branch managers report to regional vice presidents.

Our regional vice presidents monitor branch office compliance with our
underwriting guidelines. Our management information systems provide the
regional vice presidents access to credit application information enabling them
to consult with the branch managers on daily credit decisions and review
exceptions to our underwriting guidelines. The regional vice presidents also
make periodic visits to the branch offices to conduct operating reviews.

The following table sets forth information with respect to the number of
branches, dollar volume of contracts purchased and number of producing
dealerships for the periods set forth below.

Underwriting and Purchasing of Contracts

Proprietary Credit Scoring System and Risk-based Pricing. We have
implemented a credit scoring system throughout our branch office network to
support the branch level credit approval process. The credit scoring system was
developed with the assistance of Fair, Isaac and Co., Inc. from our consumer
demographic and portfolio databases. We use credit scoring to differentiate
credit applicants and to rank order credit risk in terms of expected default
rates, which enables us to tailor loan pricing and structure according to this
statistical assessment of credit risk. For example, a consumer with a lower
score would indicate a higher probability of default and, therefore, we would
seek to compensate for this higher default risk through the structuring and
pricing of the transaction. While we employ a credit scoring system in the
credit approval process, credit scoring does not eliminate credit risk. Adverse
determinations in evaluating contracts for purchase could adversely affect the
credit quality of our receivables portfolio.

The credit scoring system contrasts the quality of credit applicant
profiles resulting in a statistical assessment of the most predictive
characteristics. Factors considered in any loan application include data
presented on the application, the credit bureau report and the type of loan the
applicant wishes to secure. Specifically, the credit scoring system considers
the applicant's residential and employment stability, financial history,
current financial capacity and integrity of meeting historical financial
obligations as well as the loan structure and credit bureau information. The
scorecards take these factors into account and produce a statistical assessment
of these attributes. This assessment is used to segregate applicant risk
profiles and determine whether risk is acceptable and the price we should
charge for that risk. The credit scorecards are validated on a monthly basis
through the comparison of actual versus projected performance by score. We
endeavor to refine our proprietary scorecards based on new information and
identified correlations relating to receivables performance.

4344

Through the use of our proprietary credit scoring system, branch office
personnel with credit authority are able to more efficiently review and
prioritize loan applications. Applications which receive a high score are
processed rapidly and credit decisions can be quickly faxed back to the dealer.
Applications receiving low scores can be quickly rejected without further
processing and review by us. This ability to prioritize applications allows for
a more effective allocation of resources to those applications requiring more
review.

Decentralized Loan Approval Process. We purchase individual contracts
through our branch offices based on a decentralized credit approval process
tailored to local market conditions. Each branch manager has a specific credit
authority based upon their experience and historical loan portfolio results as
well as established credit scoring parameters. In certain markets where a
branch office is not present and with respect to certain large dealer groups,
we purchase contracts through our regional purchasing offices. Although the
credit approval process is decentralized, all credit decisions must comply with
our credit scoring strategies and underwriting policies and procedures.

We receive loan application packages completed by prospective obligors via
facsimile at the branch offices from dealers. Application data are entered into
our automated application processing system. A credit bureau report is
automatically generated and credit scores are computed. Branch office personnel
with credit authority review the application package and determine whether to
approve the application, approve the application subject to conditions that
must be met or deny the application. These personnel consider many factors in
arriving at a credit decision, relying primarily on the applicant's credit
score, but also taking into account the applicant's capacity to pay, stability,
credit history, the contract terms and collateral value. We estimate that we
deny credit to approximately 60% to 65% of applicants typically because of
their credit histories or because their income levels are not sufficient to
support the proposed level of monthly payments. We contact dealers regarding
credit decisions by telefax or telephone. Declined and conditioned applicants
are also provided with appropriate notification of the decision.

Our underwriting and collateral guidelines as well as credit scoring
parameters form the basis for the branch level credit decision; however, the
qualitative judgment of the branch office personnel with credit authority with
respect to the credit quality of an applicant is a significant factor in the
final credit decision. Exceptions to credit policies and authorities must be
approved by a regional vice president or other designated credit officer.

The dealers send completed loan packages to the branch office. As part of
the credit decision process, a customer service representative investigates the
residence, employment and credit history of the applicant. Loan terms and
insurance coverages are generally reverified with the consumer by branch office
personnel and the loan packages are forwarded to our centralized loan services
department. All loan documentation is scanned to create electronic images and
key original documents are stored in a fire-resistant vault. The loans are
reviewed for proper documentation and regulatory compliance and are entered
into our loan accounting system. Daily loan reports are generated for final
review by senior operations management. Once cleared for funding, the loan
services department issues a check or electronically transfers funds to the
dealer. Upon funding of the contract, we require applicants to provide a
perfected security interest in the automobile that was financed. All of our
contracts are fully amortizing with substantially equal monthly installments.

Servicing and Collections Procedures

General. Our servicing activities consist of:

. collecting and processing customer payments;

. responding to customer inquiries;

. initiating contact with customers who are delinquent in payment of a
receivable installment;

. maintaining the security interest in the financed vehicle;

4445

. maintaining physical damage insurance coverage of the financed vehicle;
and

. repossessing and liquidating collateral when necessary.

We utilize various automated systems to support our servicing and
collections activities. We use monthly billing statements to serve as a
reminder to customers as well as an early warning mechanism in the event a
customer has failed to notify us of an address change. Approximately 15 days
before a customer's first payment due date and each month thereafter, we mail
the customer a billing statement directing the customer to mail payments to a
lockbox bank for deposit in a lockbox account. Payment receipt data is
electronically transferred from our lockbox bank to us for posting to the loan
accounting system. We may also directly receive payments from customers. All
payment processing and customer account maintenance is performed centrally in
Fort Worth, Texas by the loan services department. We receive servicing fees
for servicing securitized receivables equal to 2.25% per annum of the
outstanding principal balance of such receivables.

Our collections activities are performed at regional centers located in
Fort Worth, Texas, Tempe, Arizona and Charlotte, North Carolina. We utilize a
predictive dialing system to make phone calls to customers whose payments are
past due. The predictive dialer is a computer-controlled telephone dialing
system which dials phone numbers of customers from a file of records extracted
from our database. Once a live voice responds to the automated dialer's call,
the system automatically transfers the call to a collector and the relevant
account information appears on the collector's computer screen. The system also
tracks and notifies collections management of phone numbers that the system has
been unable to reach within a specified number of days, thereby promptly
identifying for management all customers who cannot be reached by telephone. By
eliminating time wasted on attempting to reach customers, the system gives a
single collector the ability to speak with a larger number of accounts daily.

Once an account becomes more than 30 days delinquent, the account moves to
our mid-range collection unit. The objective of these collectors is to prevent
the account from becoming further delinquent. After a scheduled payment on an
account becomes approximately 60 to 90 days past due, we typically initiate
repossession of the financed vehicle. However, we may repossess it without
regard to the length of payment delinquency if:

. an account is deemed uncollectible;

. the financed vehicle is deemed by collection personnel to be in danger
of being damaged, destroyed or hidden;

. the customer deals in bad faith; or

. the customer voluntarily surrenders the financed vehicle.

At times, we offer payment deferrals to customers who have encountered
temporary financial difficulty, hindering their ability to pay as contracted,
and when other methods of assisting the customer in meeting the contract terms
and conditions have been exhausted. A deferral allows the customer to move a
delinquent payment to the end of the loan by paying a fee, which is
approximately the interest portion of the payment deferred. The collector must
review the past payment history and assess the customer's desire and capacity
to make future payments and, before agreeing to a deferral, must comply with
our policies and guidelines for deferrals. Exceptions to our policies and
guidelines for deferrals must be approved by a collections officer. The loan
services department processes deferment transactions. As of March 31, 1999,
approximately 13% of our managed receivables had received a deferral.

Repossessions. Repossessions are subject to prescribed legal procedures,
which include:

. peaceful repossession;

. one or more consumer notifications;

. a prescribed waiting period prior to disposition of the repossessed
automobile; and

. return of personal items to the consumer.

4546

Some jurisdictions provide the consumer with reinstatement or redemption
rights. Legal requirements, particularly in the event of bankruptcy, may
restrict our ability to dispose of the repossessed vehicle. Repossessions are
handled by independent repossession firms engaged by us and must be approved by
a collections officer. Upon repossession and after any prescribed waiting
period, we sell the repossessed automobile at auction. We do not sell any
vehicles on a retail basis. We credit the proceeds from the sale of the
automobile at auction, and any other recoveries, against the balance of the
contract. Auction proceeds from the sale of the repossessed vehicle and other
recoveries are usually not sufficient to cover the outstanding balance of the
contract, and the resulting deficiency is charged-off. We may pursue collection
of deficiencies when we deem such action to be appropriate.

Charge-off Policy. Our policy is to charge-off an account in the month in
which the account becomes 180 days contractually delinquent even if we have not
repossessed the related vehicle. On accounts less than 180 days delinquent, we
charge-off the account when the vehicle securing the delinquent contract is
repossessed and disposed of. The charge-off represents the difference between
the actual net sales proceeds and the amount of the delinquent contract,
including accrued interest. Accrual of finance charge income is suspended on
accounts which are more than 60 days contractually delinquent.

Risk Management

Overview. We have developed procedures to evaluate and supervise the
operations of each branch office on a centralized basis. Our risk management
department is responsible for monitoring the contract purchase process and
supporting the supervisory role of senior operations management. This
department tracks via databases key variables, such as:

.loan applicant data;

.credit bureau and credit score information;

.loan structures and terms; and

.payment histories.

The risk management department also regularly reviews the performance of our
credit scoring system and is involved with third-party vendors in the
development and enhancement of our credit scorecards.

The risk management department also prepares regular credit indicator
packages reviewing portfolio performance at various levels of detail including
total company, branch office and dealer. Various daily reports and analytical
data are also generated by our management information systems. We use this
information to monitor credit quality as well as to constantly refine the
structure and mix of new contract purchases. We review portfolio returns on a
consolidated basis, as well as at the branch office, dealer and contract
levels.

Behavioral Scoring. We use statistically-based behavioral assessment
models to project the relative probability that an individual account will
default and to validate the credit scoring system after the receivable has aged
for a sufficient period of time, generally six to nine months. Default
probabilities are calculated for each account independent of the credit score.
Projected default rates from the behavioral assessment models and credit
scoring systems are compared and analyzed to monitor the effectiveness of our
credit strategies.

Collateral Value Management. The value of the collateral underlying our
receivables portfolio is updated monthly with a loan-by-loan link to national
wholesale auction values. This data, along with our own experience relative to
mileage and vehicle condition, are used for evaluating collateral disposition
activities as well as for reserve analysis models.

Compliance Audits. Our internal audit department conducts regular
compliance audits of branch office operations, loan services, collections and
other functional areas. The primary objective of the audits is to

4647

measure compliance with our written policies and procedures as well as
regulatory matters. Branch office audits include a review of:

.compliance with underwriting policies;

.completeness of loan documentation;

.collateral value assessment; and

.extent of applicant data investigation.

Written audit reports are distributed to local branch office personnel and
the regional vice presidents for response and follow-up. Senior operations
management reviews copies of these reports. Audit results and responses are
also reviewed on a quarterly basis by an audit committee comprised of senior
executive management.

Securitization of Loans

Since December 1994, we have pursued a strategy of securitizing our
receivables to diversify our funding, improve liquidity and obtain a cost-
effective source of funds for the purchase of additional automobile finance
contracts. We apply the net proceeds from securitizations to pay down
borrowings under our credit and warehouse facilities, thereby increasing
availability thereunder for further contract purchases. Through June 30, 1999,
we have securitized approximately $5.8 billion of automobile receivables,
including a $1.0 billion securitization we completed in May 1999.

In our securitizations, we, through one or more wholly-owned subsidiaries,
transfer automobile receivables to newly-formed securitization trusts, which
issue one or more classes of asset-backed securities. The asset-backed
securities are in turn sold to investors, except for certain subordinated
interests which we may retain.

When we transfer receivables to securitization trusts in securitization
transactions, we recognize a gain on sale of receivables and continue to
service such receivables. The gain on sale of receivables represents the
difference between the sales proceeds, net of transaction costs, and our net
carrying value of the receivables sold, plus the present value of estimated
excess cash flows. The estimated excess cash flows are the difference between
the cash collected from obligors on securitized receivables and the sum of
principal and interest paid to investors in the asset-backed securities,
contractual servicing fees, defaults, net of recoveries, and other expenses
such as trustee fees and financial guarantee insurance premiums. Concurrently
with recognizing the gain on sale of receivables, we record a corresponding
asset, interest-only receivables from Trusts, which includes the present value
of estimated excess cash flows as described above.

The calculation of interest-only receivables includes estimates of future
losses and prepayment rates for the remaining term of the receivables sold
since these factors impact the amount and timing of future cash collected on
the receivables sold. We review the carrying value of interest-only receivables
quarterly on a disaggregated basis by Trust. If future losses or prepayment
rates exceed our original estimates, the asset will be adjusted through a
charge to operations. Favorable credit loss and prepayment experience compared
to our original estimates would result in additional income when realized. See
"Risk Factors."

In connection with our securitization program, we arrange for a financial
guaranty insurance policy to achieve a desired credit rating on the asset-
backed securities issued. The policies for each of our securitizations have
been provided by Financial Security Assurance, Inc., a monoline insurer, which
insures the timely payment of principal and interest due on the asset-backed
securities. We have limited reimbursement obligations to Financial Security
Assurance; however, credit enhancement requirements, including Financial
Security Assurance's encumbrance of certain restricted cash accounts and
subordinated interests in trusts, provide a source of funds to cover shortfalls
in collections and to reimburse Financial Security Assurance for any claims
which may be made under the policies issued with respect to our
securitizations.

4748

The credit enhancement requirements for any securitization include
restricted cash accounts which are generally established with an initial
deposit and, in some cases, reinsurance or other alternative forms of credit
enhancement, and subsequently funded through excess cash flows from securitized
receivables. Funds are withdrawn from the restricted cash accounts to cover any
shortfalls in amounts payable on the asset-backed securities. Funds are also
available to be withdrawn in an event of default to reimburse Financial
Security Assurance for draws on its financial guaranty insurance policy. In
addition, the restricted cash account for each securitization trust is cross-
collateralized to the restricted cash accounts established in connection with
our other securitization trusts, such that excess cash flow from a performing
securitization trust insured by Financial Security Assurance may be used to
support cash flow shortfalls from a non-performing securitization trust insured
by Financial Security Assurance, thereby further restricting excess cash flow
available to us. We are entitled to receive amounts from the restricted cash
accounts to the extent the amounts deposited exceed predetermined required
minimum levels.

Financial Security Assurance has taken a pledge of the stock of AFS Funding
Corp., our wholly-owned subsidiary that owns the restricted cash accounts,
interest-only receivables, and any subordinated interests in the Trusts, such
that, if the pledge is exercised in the event of a payment by Financial
Security Assurance under one of its insurance policies or certain material
adverse changes in our business, Financial Security Assurance would control all
of the restricted cash accounts, interest-only receivables and any subordinated
interests in the Trusts. The terms of each securitization also provide that,
under certain tests relating to delinquencies, defaults and losses, cash may be
retained in the restricted cash account and not released to us until increased
minimum levels of credit enhancement requirements have been reached and
maintained.

Trade Names

We have obtained federal trademark protection for the "AmeriCredit" name
and the logo that incorporates the "AmeriCredit" name.

Regulation

Our operations are subject to regulation, supervision and licensing under
various federal, state and local statutes, ordinances and regulations.

In most states in which we operate, a consumer credit regulatory agency
regulates and enforces laws relating to consumer lenders and sales finance
agencies such as us. Such rules and regulations generally provide for licensing
of sales finance agencies, limitations on the amount, duration and charges,
including interest rates, for various categories of loans, requirements as to
the form and content of finance contracts and other documentation and
restrictions on collection practices and creditors' rights. In certain states,
our branch offices are subject to periodic examination by state regulatory
authorities. Some states in which we operate do not require special licensing
or provide extensive regulation of our business.

We are also subject to extensive federal regulation, including the Truth in
Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Credit Reporting
Act. These laws require us to provide certain disclosures to prospective
borrowers and protect against discriminatory lending practices and unfair
credit practices. The principal disclosures required under the Truth in Lending
Act include the terms of repayment, the total finance charge and the annual
percentage rate charged on each loan. The Equal Credit Opportunity Act
prohibits creditors from discriminating against loan applicants on the basis of
race, color, sex, age or marital status. Pursuant to Regulation B promulgated
under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, creditors are required to make certain
disclosures regarding consumer rights and advise consumers whose credit
applications are not approved of the reasons for the rejection. In addition,
our credit scoring system must comply with the requirements for such a system
as set forth in the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and Regulation B. The Fair
Credit Reporting Act requires us to provide certain information to consumers
whose credit applications are not approved on the basis of a report obtained
from a consumer reporting agency.

4849

The dealers who originate automobile loans that we purchase also must
comply with both state and federal credit and trade practice statutes and
regulations. Failure of the dealers to comply with such statutes and
regulations could result in consumers having rights of rescission and other
remedies that could have an adverse effect on us.

Management believes that we maintain all material licenses and permits
required for our current operations and are in substantial compliance with all
applicable local, state and federal regulations. There can be no assurance,
however, that we will be able to maintain all requisite licenses and permits
and the failure to satisfy those and other regulatory requirements could have a
material adverse effect on our operations. Further, the adoption of additional,
or the revision of existing, rules and regulations could have a material
adverse effect on our business.

Mortgage Loan Operations

In November 1996, we acquired AMS. AMS originates and acquires home equity
loans through a network of mortgage brokers. AMS sells its home equity loans
and the related servicing rights in the wholesale markets. AMS does not
currently represent a material portion of our assets or revenues.

Competition

Competition in the field of non-prime automobile finance is intense. The
automobile finance market is highly fragmented and is served by a variety of
financial entities including the captive finance affiliates of major automotive
manufacturers, banks, thrifts, credit unions, and independent finance
companies. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial
resources and lower costs of funds than us. Many of these competitors also have
long standing relationships with automobile dealerships and may offer
dealerships or their customers other forms of financing, including dealer floor
plan financing and leasing, which we do not offer. Providers of automobile
financing have traditionally competed on the basis of interest rate charged,
the quality of credit accepted, the flexibility of loan terms offered and the
quality of service provided to dealers and customers. In seeking to establish
ourself as one of the principal financing sources of the dealers we serve, we
compete predominately on the basis of our high level of dealer service and
strong dealer relationships and by offering flexible loan terms. There can be
no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in this market or
against these competitors.

Properties

Our executive offices are located at 801 Cherry Street, Suite 3900, Fort
Worth, Texas, in a 113,000 square foot leased office space, under a 12-year
lease that commenced in July 1999. We utilize this building for branch office
support and administrative activities. We also lease 67,000 square feet of
office space in Tempe, Arizona under a ten-year agreement with renewal options,
56,000 square feet of office space in Charlotte, North Carolina under a ten-
year agreement with renewal options, and 65,000 square feet of office space in
Fort Worth, Texas under four-year agreements. These facilities are used for
loan servicing and collections activities. We intend to consolidate various
loan servicing, collection and operating activities in a 250,000 square foot
facility located in Arlington, Texas leased under a five-year lease commencing
August 1999.

Our executive offices were formerly located in a 43,000 square foot
building we purchased in 1994. We intend to sell this building.

We generally lease branch office facilities under agreements with original
terms of three to five years. Such facilities are typically located in a
suburban office building and consist of between 1,000 and 2,000 square feet of
space.

4950

Employees

At March 31, 1999, we employed approximately 2,200 persons in 41 states and
one Canadian province. None of our employees are part of a collective
bargaining agreement and our relationships with our employees are satisfactory.

Legal Proceedings

As a consumer finance company, we are subject to various consumer claims
and litigation seeking damages and statutory penalties based upon, among other
things, usury, disclosure inaccuracies, wrongful repossession, fraud and
discriminatory treatment of credit applicants, which could take the form of a
plaintiffs' class action complaint. We, as the assignee of finance contracts
originated by dealers, may also be named as a co-defendant in lawsuits filed by
consumers, principally against dealers. The damages and penalties claimed by
consumers in these types of matters can be substantial. The relief requested by
the plaintiffs varies but includes requests for compensatory, statutory and
punitive damages. One proceeding in which we are a defendant has been brought
as a putative class action and is pending in the State of California. A class
has yet to be certified in this case, in which the plaintiffs allege certain
defects in our post-repossession notice forms in the State of California, and
no court date has been set, nor are any hearings presently scheduled.

Management believes that we have taken prudent steps to address the
litigation risks associated with our business activities. However, there can be
no assurance that we will be able to successfully defend against all such
consumer claims, or that the determination of any such claim in a manner
adverse to us would not have a material adverse effect on our indirect
automobile finance business.

On April 8, 1999, a putative class action complaint was filed against us
and certain of our officers and directors alleging violations of Section 10(b)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 arising from our use of the cash-in
method of measuring and accounting for credit enhancement assets in our
financial statements for the second, third and fourth quarters of fiscal year
1997, fiscal year 1998 and the first quarter of fiscal year 1999. We believe
that our previous use of the cash-in method of measuring and accounting for
credit enhancement assets was consistent with then current generally accepted
accounting principles and accounting practices of other finance companies. As
required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Special Report, "A Guide
to Implementation of Statement 125 on Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities, Second Edition," dated
December 1998, and related statements made by the staff of the Commission, we
retroactively changed our method of measuring and accounting for credit
enhancement assets to the cash-out method and restated our financial statements
for the three months ended September 30, 1998 and the fiscal years ended June
30, 1998, 1997 and 1996. In the opinion of management, this litigation is
without merit and we intend to vigorously defend against the complaint.

In the opinion of management, the resolution of the proceedings described
in this section will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated
financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment and Change-in-Control
Arrangements

We have entered into employment agreements with our executive officers.
These agreements, as amended, contain terms that renew annually for successive
five year periods (ten years in the case of Mr. Morris), and the compensation
thereunder is determined annually by our Board of Directors, subject to minimum
annual compensation for Mr. Morris, $500,000; Messrs. Barrington and Berce
$345,000; Mr. Esstman, $300,000; and Mr. Miller, $255,000. Included in each
agreement is a covenant of the employee not to compete with us during the term
of his employment and for a period of three years thereafter. The employment
agreements also provide that if the employee is terminated other than for
cause, in the event the employee resigns or is terminated other than for cause
within twelve months after a "change in control" of us, as that term is defined
in the employment agreements, we will pay to the employee the remainder of his
current year's salary, on an undiscounted basis, plus the discounted present
value, employing an interest rate of 8%, of two additional years' salary, for
which purpose "salary" includes the annual rate of compensation immediately
prior to the "change in control" plus the average annual cash bonus for the
immediately preceding three year period.

In addition to the employment agreements described above, the terms of all
stock options granted to our executive officers provide that such options will
become immediately vested and exercisable upon the occurrence of a change in
control as defined in the stock option agreements evidencing such grants.

The provisions and terms contained in these employment and option
agreements could have the effect of increasing the cost of a change in control
of the Company and thereby delay or hinder such a change in control.

Board Committees and Meetings

Standing committees of the Board include the Audit Committee and the Stock
Option/Compensation Committee.

The Audit Committee's principal responsibilities consist of (1)
recommending the selection of independent auditors, (2) reviewing the scope of
the audit conducted by those auditors, as well as the audit itself, and (3)
reviewing the Company's internal audit activities and matters concerning
financial reporting, accounting and audit procedures, and policies generally.
Members consist of Messrs. Dike, Greer, Higgins and Jones.

The Stock Option/Compensation Committee (1) administers the Company's
employee stock option plans and reviews and approves the granting of stock
options and (2) reviews and approves compensation for executive officers.
Members consist of Messrs. Dike, Greer, Higgins and Jones.

The Board of Directors held five regularly scheduled meetings during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1998. Various matters were also approved during the
last fiscal year by unanimous written consent of the Board of Directors. No
director attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of (1) the total number of
meetings of the Board of Directors; and (2) the total number of meetings held
by all committees of the Board on which that director served.

Compensation of Directors

Members of the Board of Directors currently receive a $2,500 quarterly
retainer fee and an additional $4,000 fee for attendance at each meeting of the
Board. Members of Committees of the Board of Directors are paid $2,000 per
quarter for participation in all committee meetings held during that quarter.

At the 1990 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, we adopted the 1990 Stock
Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors of AmeriCredit Corp. (the "1990 Director
Plan"), which provides for grants to our non-employee directors of nonqualified
stock options and reserves, in the aggregate, a total of 1,500,000 shares of
common stock for issuance upon exercise of stock options granted under such
plan. Under the 1990 Director Plan, each

5354

non-employee director receives, upon election as a Director and thereafter on
the first business day after the date of each annual meeting of shareholders of
the Company, an option to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock at an exercise
price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.
Each option is fully vested upon the date of grant but may not be exercised
prior to the expiration of six months after the date of grant. On November 4,
1998, options to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock were granted under the
1990 Director Plan to each of Messrs. Dike, Greer, Higgins and Jones at an
exercise price of $14.88 per share. The exercise price for the options granted
to Messrs. Dike, Greer, Higgins and Jones is equal to the last reported sale
price of the common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the day preceding
the date of grant.

subject to certain exceptions, not to offer to sell, contract to sell, or
otherwise sell, dispose of, loan, pledge or grant any rights with respect to
any shares of common stock, or any options or warrants to purchase any shares
of common stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares
of common stock owned as of the date of this prospectus or thereafter acquired
directly by such holders or with respect to which they have or hereafter
acquire the power of disposition, without the prior written consent of
BancBoston Robertson Stephens Inc. However, BancBoston Robertson Stephens Inc.
may, in its sole discretion and at any time without notice, release all or any
portion of the securities subject to the lock-up agreements. There are no
existing agreements between the representatives of the underwriters and any of
our shareholders providing consent to the sale of shares prior to the
expiration of the 90-day-lock-up period.

Future Sales. In addition, we have agreed that we will not, until 90 days
after the date of this prospectus, without the prior written consent of
BancBoston Robertson Stephens Inc., subject to certain exceptions, (1) consent
to the disposition of any shares held by shareholders subject to agreements not
to sell shares prior to the expiration of the 90-day period or (2) issue, sell,
contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of common stock, any
options or warrants to purchase shares of common stock or any securities
convertible into, exercisable for or exchangeable for shares of common stock
other than our sale of shares in this offering, the issuance of shares of
common stock upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants and the
granting of options to purchase shares under existing stock option and
incentive plans, provided that, with respect to executive officers, such
options do not vest prior to the expiration of the 90-day period.

Stabilization. The representatives of the underwriters have advised us
that, pursuant to Regulation M under the Securities Act, certain persons
participating in this offering may engage in transactions, including
stabilizing bids, syndicate covering transactions or the imposition of penalty
bids, that may have the effect of stabilizing or maintaining the market price
of the shares of common stock at a level above that which might otherwise
prevail in the open market. A "stabilizing bid" is a bid for or the purchase of
the shares of common stock on behalf of the underwriters for the purpose of
fixing or maintaining the price of the shares of common stock. A "syndicate
covering transaction" is the bid for or the purchase of the shares of common
stock on behalf of the underwriters to reduce a short position incurred by the
underwriters in connection with this offering. A "penalty bid" is an
arrangement permitting the representatives to reclaim the selling concession
otherwise accruing to an underwriter or syndicate member in connection with
this offering if the shares of common stock originally sold by such underwriter
or syndicate member is purchased by the representatives in a syndicate covering
transaction and has therefore not been effectively placed by such underwriter
or syndicate member. The representatives have advised us that such transactions
may be effected on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise and, if commenced,
may be discontinued at any time.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

Board of Directors and Shareholders
AmeriCredit Corp.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AmeriCredit
Corp. as of June 30, 1998 and 1997, and the related consolidated statements of
income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended June 30, 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of AmeriCredit
Corp. as of June 30, 1998 and 1997, and the consolidated results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
June 30, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, in 1997,
AmeriCredit Corp. changed its method of accounting for transfers and servicing
of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements,
AmeriCredit Corp. retroactively changed its method of measuring and accounting
for credit enhancement assets.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

History and Operations

AmeriCredit Corp. ("the Company") was formed on August 1, 1986 and, since
September 1992, has been in the business of purchasing, securitizing and
servicing automobile sales finance contracts. The Company operated 129 auto
lending branch offices in 36 states as of June 30, 1998. The Company also
acquired a subsidiary in November 1996 which originates and sells mortgage
loans.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions
and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts
have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the
financial statements and the amount of revenue and costs and expenses during
the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These
estimates include, among other things, assumptions for cumulative credit
losses, timing of cash flows, discount rates and to a lesser extent,
anticipated prepayments on receivables sold in securitization transactions and
the determination of the allowance for losses on receivables held for sale.

Cash Equivalents

Investments in highly liquid securities with original maturities of 90 days
or less are included in cash and cash equivalents.

Receivables Held for Sale

Receivables held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value.
Finance charge income related to receivables held for sale is recognized using
the interest method. Accrual of finance charge income is suspended on accounts
which are more than 60 days delinquent. Fees and commissions received and
direct costs of originating loans are deferred and amortized over the term of
the related receivables using the interest method.

Provisions for losses are charged to operations in amounts sufficient to
maintain the allowance for losses at a level considered adequate to cover
estimated losses in the receivables held for sale portfolio. Automobile sales
finance contracts are typically purchased by the Company for a non-refundable
acquisition fee on a non-recourse basis, and such acquisition fees are also
added to the allowance for losses. The Company reviews historical origination
and charge-off relationships, charge-off experience factors, collection data,
delinquency reports, estimates of the value of the underlying collateral,
economic conditions and trends and other information in order to make the
necessary judgments as to the appropriateness of the provision for losses and
the allowance for losses. Receivables are charged-off to the allowance for
losses when the Company repossesses and disposes of the collateral or the
account is otherwise deemed uncollectible.

Credit Enhancement Assets

The Company periodically sells auto receivables to certain special purpose
financing trusts (the "Trusts"), and the Trusts in turn issue asset-backed
securities to investors. The Company retains an interest in the

F-7

AMERICREDIT CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

receivables sold in the form of a residual or interest-only strip and may also
retain other subordinated interests in the receivables sold to the Trusts. The
residual or interest-only strips represent the present value of future excess
cash flows resulting from the difference between the finance charge income
received from the obligors on the receivables and the interest paid to the
investors in the asset-backed securities, net of credit losses, servicing fees
and other expenses.

Upon the transfer of receivables to the Trusts, the Company removes the net
book value of the receivables sold from its consolidated balance sheets and
allocates such carrying value between the assets transferred and the interests
retained, based upon their relative fair values at the settlement date. The
difference between the sales proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the
allocated basis of the assets transferred is recognized as a gain on sale of
receivables.

The allocated basis of the interests retained is classified as either
interest-only receivables from Trusts, investments in Trust receivables or
restricted cash in the Company's consolidated balance sheets depending upon the
form of interest retained by the Company. These interests are collectively
referred to as credit enhancement assets.

Since the interests retained by the Company can be contractually prepaid or
otherwise settled in such a way that the holder would not recover all of its
recorded investment, these assets are classified as available for sale and are
measured at fair value. Unrealized holding gains or temporary holding losses
are reported net of income tax effects as a separate component of shareholders'
equity until realized. If a decline in fair value is deemed other than
temporary, the assets are written down through a charge to operations.

The fair value of credit enhancement assets is estimated by calculating the
present value of the excess cash flows from the Trusts using discount rates
commensurate with the risks involved. Such calculations include estimates of
cumulative credit losses and prepayment rates for the remaining term of the
receivables transferred to the Trusts since these factors impact the amount and
timing of future excess cash flows. If cumulative credit losses and prepayment
rates exceed the Company's original estimates, the assets are written down
through a charge to operations. Favorable credit loss and prepayment experience
compared to the Company's original estimates would result in additional
earnings when realized.

A financial guaranty insurance company (the "Insurer") has provided a
financial guaranty insurance policy for the benefit of the investors in each
series of asset-backed securities issued by the Trusts. In connection with the
issuance of the policies, the Company is required to establish a separate cash
account with a trustee for the benefit of the Insurer for each series of
securities and related receivables pools. Monthly cash collections from the
pools of receivables in excess of required principal and interest payments on
the asset-backed securities and servicing fees and other expenses are either
added to the restricted cash accounts or used to repay the outstanding asset-
backed securities on an accelerated basis, thus creating additional credit
enhancement through over-collateralization in the Trusts. This over
collateralization is recognized as investments in Trust receivables in the
Company's consolidated balance sheets. When the credit enhancement levels reach
specified percentages of the pools of receivables, excess cash flows are
distributed to the Company. In the event that monthly cash collections from any
pool of receivables are insufficient to make required principal and interest
payments to the investors and pay servicing fees and other expenses, any
shortfall would be drawn from the restricted cash accounts.

Certain agreements with the Insurer provide that if delinquency, default
and net loss ratios in the pools of receivables supporting the asset-backed
securities exceed certain targets, the specified levels of credit enhancement
would be increased and, in certain cases, the Company would be removed as

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is generally
provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the
assets. The cost of assets sold or retired and the related accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts at the time of disposition and any
resulting gain or loss is included in operations. Maintenance, repairs and
minor replacements are charged to operations as incurred; major replacements
and betterments are capitalized.

Off Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

The Company periodically enters into arrangements to manage the gross
interest rate spread on its securitization transactions. These arrangements
include the use of Forward U.S. Treasury rate lock and interest rate swap
agreements. The face amount and terms of the Forward U.S. Treasury rate lock
agreements generally correspond to the principal amount and average maturities
of receivables expected to be sold to the Trusts and the related asset-backed
securities to be issued by the Trusts. Gains or losses on these agreements are
deferred and recognized as a component of the gain on sale of receivables at
the time that receivables are transferred to the Trusts. The interest rate swap
agreements are used to convert the interest rates on floating rate securities
issued by the Trusts to a fixed rate. The notional amounts of these agreements
approximate the outstanding balance of certain floating rate securities. The
estimated differential payments required under these agreements are recognized
as a component of the gain on sale of receivables at the time that receivables
are transferred to the Trusts.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided in accordance with the asset and
liability method of accounting for income taxes to recognize the tax effects of
temporary differences between financial statement and income tax accounting.

Earnings Per Share

The Company adopted the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS 128") effective for periods
ended December 31, 1997 and thereafter. SFAS 128 establishes new standards for
computing and presenting earnings per share, replacing existing accounting
standards. The new standard requires dual presentation of basic and diluted
earnings per share and a reconciliation between the two amounts. Basic earnings
per share excludes dilution and diluted earnings per share reflects the
potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue
common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. All prior period
earnings per share and related weighted average share amounts have been
restated to conform to the requirements of SFAS 128.

Recent Accounting Developments

Effective January 1, 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities" ("SFAS 125"). SFAS 125
established accounting and reporting standards for transfers of financial
assets and applies to the Company's sales of auto receivables to the Trusts.
Adoption of SFAS 125, which was applied prospectively to transactions occurring
subsequent to December 1996, resulted in increases of $2,577,000 in credit
enhancement assets, $992,000 in deferred income taxes and $1,585,000 in
shareholders' equity as of June 30, 1997.

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income" ("SFAS 130"). SFAS 130 establishes

F-9

AMERICREDIT CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components in a full set
of financial statements. The new standard requires that all items that are
required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of
comprehensive income, including an amount representing total comprehensive
income, be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same
prominence as other financial statements. Pursuant to SFAS 130, the Company
will be required to display total comprehensive income, including net income
and changes in the unrealized gain on interest-only receivables, in its
consolidated financial statements for the year ending June 30, 1999 and
thereafter.

In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information"
("SFAS 131"). SFAS 131 establishes standards for the way companies report
information about operating segments in annual financial statements and
requires that enterprises report selected information about operating segments
in interim financial reports. The new pronouncement also establishes standards
for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major
customers. The statement is effective for financial statements for periods
beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company's auto finance business is
currently the only segment reportable under SFAS 131.

In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS
133"). SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, and for hedging activities. The new standard requires that all
derivatives be recognized as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated
balance sheets and that those instruments be measured at fair value. If certain
conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedging
instrument. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative (that
is, gains and losses) depends on the intended use of the derivative and the
resulting designation. The statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. While the new standard will apply
to the Company's derivative financial instruments, the Company does not believe
that adoption of SFAS 133 will have a material effect on the Company's
consolidated financial position or results of operations.

2. Restatement

On January 14, 1999, the Company issued a press release reporting a
restatement of its financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30,
1996, 1997 and 1998. As required by the FASB Special Report, "A Guide to
Implementation of Statement 125 on Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities, Second Edition," dated
December 1998, and related guidance set forth in statements made by the staff
of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on December 8, 1998, the
Company retroactively changed its method of measuring and accounting for credit
enhancement assets to the cash-out method from the cash-in method.

Initial deposits to restricted cash accounts and subsequent cash flows
received by securitization trusts sponsored by the Company accumulate as credit
enhancement assets until certain targeted levels are achieved, after which cash
is distributed to the Company on an unrestricted basis. Under the cash-in
method previously used by the Company, (i) the assumed discount period for
measuring the present value of credit enhancement assets ended when cash flows
were received by the securitization trusts and (ii) initial deposits to
restricted cash accounts were recorded at face value. Under the cash-out method
required by the FASB and SEC, the assumed discount period for measuring the
present value of credit enhancement assets ends when cash, including return of
the initial deposits, is distributed to the Company on an unrestricted basis.

F-10

AMERICREDIT CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

recognized over the term of a securitization transaction is the same under
either method, the cash-out method results in (i) lower initial gains on the
sale of receivables due to the longer discount period and (ii) higher
subsequent servicing fee income from accretion of the additional cash-out
discount.

The restatement resulted in the following changes to prior period financial

======= ========

The Company has a funding agreement with an administrative agent on behalf
of an institutionally managed commercial paper conduit and a group of banks
under which up to $245 million of structured warehouse financing is available.
Under the funding agreement, the Company transfers auto receivables to CP
Funding Corp. ("CPFC"), a special purpose finance subsidiary of the Company,
and CPFC in turn issues a note, collateralized by such auto receivables, to the
agent. The agent provides funding under the note to CPFC pursuant to an advance
formula and CPFC forwards the funds to the Company in consideration for the
transfer of auto receivables. While CPFC is a consolidated subsidiary of the
Company, CPFC is a separate legal entity and the auto receivables transferred
to CPFC and the other assets of CPFC are legally owned by CPFC and not
available to creditors of AmeriCredit Corp. or its other subsidiaries. Advances
under the note bear interest at commercial paper, London Interbank Offered
Rates ("LIBOR") or prime rates plus specified fees depending upon the source of
funds provided by the agent to CPFC. The funding agreement, which expires in
October 1998, contains various covenants requiring certain minimum financial
ratios and results.

The Company has a revolving credit agreement with a group of banks under
which the Company may borrow up to $265 million, subject to a defined borrowing
base. Borrowings under the credit agreement are collateralized by certain auto
receivables and bear interest, based upon the Company's option, at either the
prime rate (8.5% as of June 30, 1998) or LIBOR plus 1.25%. The Company is also
required to pay an annual commitment fee equal to 1/4% of the unused portion of
the credit agreement. The credit agreement, which expires in April 1999,
contains various restrictive covenants requiring certain minimum financial
ratios and results and placing certain limitations on the incurrence of
additional debt, capital expenditures, cash dividends and repurchase of common
stock.

The Company also has a mortgage warehouse facility with a bank under which
the Company may borrow up to $75 million, subject to a defined borrowing base.
Borrowings under the facility are collateralized by certain mortgage
receivables and bear interest, based upon the Company's option, at either the
prime rate or

F-13

AMERICREDIT CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

LIBOR plus 1%. The Company is also required to pay an annual commitment fee
equal to 1/8 of the unused portion of the facility. The facility expires in
February 1999.

6. Senior Notes

The Company has outstanding $175 million of senior notes which are due in
February 2004. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually at a rate of 9
1/4% per annum. The notes, which are uncollateralized, may be redeemed at the
option of the Company after February 2001 at a premium declining to par in
February 2003. The Indenture pursuant to which the notes were issued contains
restrictions including limitations on the Company's ability to incur additional
indebtedness other than certain collateralized indebtedness, pay cash dividends
and repurchase common stock. Debt issuance costs are being amortized over the
term of the notes, and unamortized costs of $3,983,000 and $5,478,000 as of
June 30, 1997 and 1998, respectively, are included in other assets in the
consolidated balance sheets.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

Branch lending offices are generally leased for terms of up to five years
with certain rights to extend for additional periods. The Company also leases
office space for its loan servicing facilities and other operations under
leases with terms up to ten years with renewal options. Lease expense was
$875,000, $2,132,000 and $4,206,000 for the years ended June 30, 1996, 1997 and
1998, respectively. Lease commitments for years ending June 30 are as follows

Derivative Financial Instruments

As of June 30, 1998, the Company had Forward U.S. Treasury rate lock
agreements to sell $150 million of U.S. Treasury Notes due August 2001 and $150
million of U.S. Treasury Notes due November 2001. The agreements expire August
20, 1998 and November 20, 1998, respectively. Any gain or loss on these
agreements will be recognized as a component of the gain on sale of receivables
upon transfers of receivables to the Trusts subsequent to June 30, 1998.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash equivalents, restricted cash,
derivative financial instruments and managed auto receivables, which include
auto receivables held for sale and auto receivables serviced by the Company on
behalf of the Trusts. The Company's cash equivalents and restricted cash
represent investments in highly rated securities placed through various major
financial institutions. The counterparties to the Company's derivative
financial instruments are various major financial institutions. Managed auto
receivables represent contracts with consumers residing throughout the United
States, with borrowers located in California and Texas accounting for 14% and
11%,

F-14

AMERICREDIT CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

respectively, of the managed auto receivables portfolio as of June 30, 1998. No
other state accounted for more than 10% of managed auto receivables.

Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of its business, the Company is named as a defendant
in legal proceedings. These cases include claims for alleged truth-in-lending
violations, nondisclosures, misrepresentations and deceptive trade practices,
among other things. The relief requested by the plaintiffs varies but includes
requests for compensatory, statutory and punitive damages. In the opinion of
management, the resolution of these proceedings will not have a material
adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or
liquidity of the Company.

8. Stock Options

General

The Company has certain stock-based compensation plans for employees, non-
employee directors and key executive officers.

A total of 18,000,000 shares have been authorized for grants of options
under the employee plans, of which 3,617,144 shares remain available for future
grants as of June 30, 1998. The exercise price of each option must equal the
market price of the Company's stock on the date of grant and the maximum term
of each option is ten years. The vesting period is typically four years. Option
grants, vesting periods and the term of each option are determined by a
committee of the Company's Board of Directors.

A total of 2,605,000 shares have been authorized for grants of options
under the non-employee director plans, of which 960,000 shares remain available
for future grants as of June 30, 1998. The exercise price of each option must
equal the market price of the Company's stock on the date of grant and the
maximum term of each option is ten years. Option grants, vesting periods and
the term of each option are established by the terms of the plans.

A total of 1,700,000 shares have been authorized for grants of options
under the key executive officer plan, none of which remain available for future
grants as of June 30, 1998. The exercise price of each option under this plan
is $8 per share and the term of each option is seven years. These options
became fully vested when the Company's common stock traded above certain
targeted price levels for a specified time period.

The Company has elected not to adopt the fair value-based method of
accounting for stock based awards and, accordingly, no compensation expense has
been recognized for options granted under the plans described above. Had
compensation expense for the Company's plans been determined using the fair
value-based method, pro forma net income would have been $14,398,000,
$24,367,000 and $45,598,000 and pro forma diluted earnings per share would have
been $0.24, $0.40 and $0.70 for the years ended June 30, 1996, 1997 and 1998,
respectively.

The following tables present information related to the Company's stock-
based compensation plans. The fair value of each option grant was estimated
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-
average assumptions:

13. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about
Fair Value of Financial Instruments" ("SFAS 107"), requires disclosure of fair
value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the
Company's consolidated balance sheets. Fair values are based on estimates using
present value or other valuation techniques in cases where quoted market prices
are not available. Those techniques are significantly affected by the
assumptions used, including the discount rate and the estimated timing and
amount of future cash flows. Therefore, the estimates of fair value may differ
substantially from amounts which ultimately may be realized or paid at
settlement or maturity of the financial instruments. SFAS 107 excludes certain
financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure
requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not
represent the underlying value of the Company.

Estimated fair values, carrying values and various methods and assumptions
used in valuing the Company's financial instruments are set forth below (in
thousands):

Unrecognized financial instruments:

sales.......................... (h) 164 473
Forward interest rate swaps...... (g) 489

- --------
(a) The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents is considered to be a
reasonable estimate of fair value since these investments bear interest at
market rates and have maturities of less than 90 days.
(b) Since the Company periodically sells its receivables, fair value is
estimated by discounting future net cash flows expected to be realized from
the sale of the receivables using interest rate, prepayment and credit loss
assumptions similar to the Company's historical experience.
(c) The fair value of interest-only receivables from Trusts, investments in
Trust receivables and restricted cash is estimated by discounting the
associated future net cash flows using discount rate, prepayment and credit
loss assumptions similar to the Company's historical experience.
(d) The warehouse credit facilities have variable rates of interest and
maturities of less than one year. Therefore, carrying value is considered
to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.
(e) The fair value of the senior notes is based on the quoted market price.
(f) The fair value of other notes payable is estimated based on rates currently
available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.
(g) The fair value of the interest rate swaps is based on the quoted
termination cost.
(h) The fair value of the forward U.S. Treasury Note sales are estimated based
upon market prices for similar financial instruments.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UNAUDITED

NOTE 1--BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
AmeriCredit Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("the Company"). All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 1999 and for the
periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1999 are unaudited, but in management's
opinion, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim
periods. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current period presentation. The results for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The interim period financial statements, including the notes thereto, are
condensed and do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles. These interim period financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements which are
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended June
30, 1998.

The Company's Board of Directors approved a two for one stock split on
August 6, 1998 which was effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend for
shareholders of record on September 11, 1998 and paid on September 30, 1998. In
connection with the stock split, $347,000 was transferred from retained
earnings to common stock representing the par value of the additional shares
issued. All share data for the periods presented, except shares authorized,
have been adjusted to reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis.

The Company adopted the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"), effective
July 1, 1998. SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income
and its components in a full set of financial statements. The new standard
requires that all items that are required to be recognized under accounting
standards as components of comprehensive income, including an amount
representing total comprehensive income, be reported in a financial statement
that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.
Pursuant to SFAS 130, the Company has reported comprehensive income in the
accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. All
prior periods presented have been restated to conform to the requirements of
SFAS 130.

NOTE 2--RESTATEMENT

On January 14, 1999, the Company issued a press release reporting a
restatement of its financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30,
1996, 1997, and 1998 as well as for the first quarter of fiscal 1999. Interim
periods in the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996, 1997 and 1998 were also
restated. As required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB")
Special Report, "A Guide to Implementation of Statement 125 on Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities,
Second Edition," dated December 1998, and related guidance set forth in
statements made by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
on December 8, 1998, the Company retroactively changed its method of measuring
and accounting for credit enhancement assets to the cash-out method from the
cash-in method.

F-25

AMERICREDIT CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
UNAUDITED

assets ended when cash flows were received by the securitization trusts and
(ii) initial deposits to restricted cash accounts were recorded at face value.
Under the cash-out method required by the FASB and SEC, the assumed discount
period for measuring the present value of credit enhancement assets ends when
cash, including return of the initial deposits, is distributed to the Company
on an unrestricted basis.

The change to the cash-out method results only in a difference in the
timing of revenue recognition from a securitization and has no effect on the
total cash flows of such transactions. While the total amount of revenue
recognized over the term of a securitization transaction is the same under
either method, the cash-out method results in (i) lower initial gains on the
sale of receivables due to the longer discount period and (ii) higher
subsequent servicing fee income from accretion of the additional cash-out
discount.

In September 1998, the Company renewed its funding agreement with an
administrative agent on behalf of an institutionally managed commercial paper
conduit and a group of banks and increased the amount of structured warehouse
financing available under the agreement from $245 million to $505 million.
Under the funding agreement, the Company transfers auto receivables to CP
Funding Corp. ("CPFC"), a special purpose finance subsidiary of the Company,
and CPFC in turn issues a note, collateralized by such auto receivables, to the
agent. The agent provides funding under the note to CPFC pursuant to an advance
formula and CPFC forwards the funds to the Company in consideration for the
transfer of auto receivables. While CPFC is a consolidated subsidiary of the
Company, CPFC is a separate legal entity and the auto receivables transferred
to CPFC and the other assets of CPFC are legally owned by CPFC and not
available to creditors of AmeriCredit Corp. or its other subsidiaries. Advances
under the note bear interest at commercial paper, London Interbank Offered
Rates ("LIBOR") or prime rates plus specified fees depending upon the source of
funds provided by the agent to CPFC. The funding agreement, which expires in
September 1999, contains various covenants requiring certain minimum financial
ratios and results. Borrowings of $233,661,000 were outstanding under this
agreement as of March 31, 1999.

In March 1999, the Company entered into a funding agreement with an
administrative agent on behalf of an institutionally managed commercial paper
conduit and a bank under which up to $150 million of structured warehouse
financing is available. Advances under the facility bear interest at commercial
paper rates plus specified fees. The funding agreement, which expires in March
2000, contains various covenants requiring certain minimum financial ratios and
results. There were no outstanding balances under this agreement as of March
31, 1999.

In March 1999, the Company renewed its revolving credit agreement with a
group of banks under which the Company may borrow up to $115 million, subject
to a defined borrowing base. Borrowings under the credit agreement are
collateralized by certain auto receivables and bear interest, based upon the
Company's option, at either the prime rate or LIBOR plus 1.25%. The credit
agreement, which expires in April 2000, contains various restrictive covenants
requiring certain minimum financial ratios and results and placing certain
limitations on the incurrence of additional debt, capital expenditures, cash
dividends and repurchase of common stock. There were no outstanding balances
under the credit agreement as of March 31, 1999.

In November 1998, the Company's Canadian subsidiary entered into a
revolving credit agreement with a bank under which the Company may borrow up to
(Cdn) $20 million, subject to a defined borrowing base. Borrowings under the
credit facility are collateralized by certain Canadian auto receivables and
bear interest at the Canadian prime rate. The credit agreement, which expires
in November 1999, contains various restrictive covenants requiring certain
minimum financial ratios and results and placing certain limitations on the
incurrence of additional debt, capital expenditures, cash dividends and
repurchase of common stock. Borrowings of (U.S.) $603,000 were outstanding
under this agreement as of March 31, 1999.

In February 1999, the Company renewed its mortgage warehouse facility with
a bank under which the Company may borrow up to $75 million, subject to a
defined borrowing base. Borrowings under the facility are collateralized by
certain mortgage receivables and bear interest, based upon the Company's
option, at either the prime rate or LIBOR plus 1.50%. The facility expires in
July 1999. Borrowings of $21,267,000 were outstanding under this agreement as
of March 31, 1999.

Cash payments for interest costs and income taxes consist of the following
(in thousands):

Nine Months Ended
March 31,
------------------
1998 1999
-------- ---------

Interest costs (none capitalized)........................ $ 22,577 $ 29,237
Income taxes............................................. 14,520 (14,000)

During the nine months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999, the Company entered
into lease agreements for property and equipment of $3,574,000 and $8,978,000,
respectively.

NOTE 7--SUBSEQUENT EVENT

In April 1999, the Company issued $200 million of senior notes which are
due in April 2006. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually at the rate
of 9.875% per annum, commencing in October 1999. The notes, which are
unsecured, may be redeemed at the option of the Company after April 2003 at a
premium declining to par in April 2005. The Indenture pursuant to which the
notes were issued contains restrictions including limitations on the Company's
ability to incur additional indebtedness other than certain secured
indebtedness, pay cash dividends and repurchase common stock.

NOTE 8--GUARANTOR CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Company's
Senior Notes is guaranteed by certain of the Company's subsidiaries (the
"Subsidiary Guarantors"). The separate financial statements of the Subsidiary
Guarantors are not included herein because the Subsidiary Guarantors are
wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries of the Company and are jointly,
severally and unconditionally liable for the obligations represented by the
Senior Notes. The Company believes that the condensed consolidating financial
information for the Company, the combined Subsidiary Guarantors and the
combined Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries provide information that is more meaningful
in understanding the financial position of the Subsidiary Guarantors than
separate financial statements of the Subsidiary Guarantors. Therefore, the
separate financial statements of the Subsidiary Guarantors are not deemed
material.

The following supplemental schedules present consolidating financial
information for (i) AmeriCredit Corp. (on a parent only basis), (ii) the
combined Subsidiary Guarantors, (iii) the combined Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries,
(iv) an elimination column for adjustments to arrive at the information for the
Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis and (v) the Company and
its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the parent company on the
equity method for purposes of the presentation set forth below. Earnings of
subsidiaries are therefore reflected in the parent company's investment
accounts and earnings. The principal elimination entries set forth below
eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and
transactions.

1/4% Senior Notes is guaranteed by certain of the Company's subsidiaries (the
"Subsidiary Guarantors"). The separate financial statements of the Subsidiary
Guarantors are not included herein because the Subsidiary Guarantors are
wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries of the Company and are jointly,

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

(a) The Articles of Incorporation, as amended to date (the "Articles of
Incorporation"), of AmeriCredit Corp. (the "Company"), together with its
Bylaws, provide that the Company shall indemnify officers and directors, and
may indemnify its other employees and agents, to the fullest extent permitted
by law. The laws of the State of Texas permit, and in some cases require,
corporations to indemnify officers, directors, agents and employees who are or
have been a party to or are threatened to be made a party to litigation against
judgements, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses under certain
circumstances.

(b) The Company has also adopted provisions in its Articles of
Incorporation that limit the liability of its directors to the fullest extent
permitted by the laws of the State of Texas. Under the Company's Articles of
Incorporation, and as permitted by the laws of the State of Texas, a director
is not liable to the Company or its shareholders for breach of fiduciary duty.
Such limitation does not affect liability for: (i) a breach of the director's
duty of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders or members; (ii) an act or
omission not in good faith that constitutes a breach of duty of the director to
the Company or an act or omission that involves intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of the law; (iii) a transaction from which the director
received an improper benefit, whether or not the benefit resulted from an
action taken with the scope of the directors office; or (iv) an act or omission
for which the liability of a director is expressly provided by an applicable
statute.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion
of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of
this registrations statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or
(4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2) For the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act,
each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be
deemed to be a new registrations statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
