The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements 5 AMERICREDIT CORP. 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").

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. Such interim period financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements which were included in the Company's 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders.

NOTE 3 - SALE OF FINANCE RECEIVABLES On December 21, 1995, the Company completed a sale of finance receivables to the AmeriCredit Automobile Receivables Trust 1995-B (the "Trust""1995-B Trust") and the issuance to investors of $65.0 million of automobile receivables-backed certificates of the 1995-B Trust. On March 4, 1996, the Company completed a sale of finance receivables to the AmeriCredit Automobile Receivables Trust 1996-A ("the 1996-A Trust") and the issuance to investors of $89.4 million of automobile receivables-backed certificates of the 1996-A Trust. The Company retained a subordinated interest in each of the Trust.Trusts. The 1995-B Trust and 1996-A Trust certificates have a pass through interest raterates of 6.10%. and 5.70%, respectively. Financial Security Assurance Inc. ("FSA") issued a financial guaranteeguaranty insurance policypolicies for the benefit of the investors. The Company recognized a gain on the sale of finance receivables to each of the Trust.Trusts. The gain representsgains represent the difference between the sales proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the Company's net carrying value of the receivables sold, plus excess servicing (see Note 4). 7 NOTE 4 - EXCESS SERVICING RECEIVABLE Excess servicing receivable represents the Company's subordinated interest in the Trust,Trusts, including excess servicing on the finance receivables sold to the 7 Trust.Trusts. The excess servicing receivable is equal to the present value of estimated future collections and recoveries on the finance receivables sold to the Trust,Trusts, less the present value of required principal and interest payments to the investors, base servicing fees payable to the Company at an annualized rate of 2.5% of finance receivables serviced and certain other fees. The calculation of excess servicing includes estimates of future credit losses and prepayment rates for the remaining term of the finance receivables sold since these factors impact the amount and timing of future collections and recoveries on the poolpools of finance receivables. If future credit losses and prepayment rates exceed the Company's estimates, excess servicing receivable will be adjusted through a charge to operations. Favorable credit loss and prepayment experience compared to the Company's estimates would result in additional servicing fee income. The excess servicing receivable is amortized using the interest method against realized excess servicing fee income. Excess servicing receivable consists of the following (in thousands):
DECEMBER 31, 1995 ------------ Estimated future net cash flows before allowance for credit losses $16,705 Allowance for credit losses (6,219) ------- Estimated future net cash flows 10,486 Unamortized discount at 12% (1,243) ------- $ 9,243 ------- -------

Borrowings under the credit agreement are collateralized by certain indirect finance receivables and bear interest, based upon the Company's option, at either the reference prime rate or various market London Interbank Offered Rates plus 1.65%. The Company is also required to pay an annual commitment fee equal to 3/8% of the unused portion of the credit agreement. The credit agreement, which expires in October 1996, 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. 9 NOTE 6 - RESTRICTED CASH In connection with the issuance of financial guaranty insurance policies by FSA, the Company is required to establish a cash account with a trustee for the benefit of FSA and the investors for each issue of automobile receivables-backed securities. Such cash accounts are shown as restricted cash on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Monthly collections and recoveries from each pool of finance receivables in excess of required principal and interest payments on the securities and servicing and other fees are added to the restricted cash accounts until the balance reaches a specified percentage of the pool of finance receivables, and thereafter are distributed to the Company. In the event that monthly collections and recoveries from any pool of finance receivables are insufficient to make required principal and interest payments to the investors and pay servicing and other fees, any shortfall would be drawn from the restricted cash accounts. Certain agreements with FSA contain restrictive covenants relating to delinquency, default and net loss ratios in the pools of finance receivables supporting the automobile receivables-backed securities. A default on these restrictive covenants would result in an increase in the specified levels of the restricted cash accounts and, in certain cases, removal of the Company as servicer of the finance receivables.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBERMARCH 31, 19951996 AS COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBERMARCH 31, 19941995 REVENUE: The Company's average net owned and serviced finance receivables outstanding consisted of the following (in thousands):

The increase in indirect finance charge income is due to growth of 145%70% in average net indirect-owned finance receivables outstanding. The Company purchased $86.6$122.7 million of indirect loans during the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 1995,1996, compared to $46.7$69.4 million during the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 1994.1995. This growth resulted from loan production at branches open during both periods as well as expansion of the Company's loan production capacity. The Company operated 4248 branch offices as of DecemberMarch 31, 1995,1996, compared to 2426 as of December12 March 31, 1994.1995. The decrease in other finance charge income is due to the ongoing liquidation of the related receivables portfolios. 12 The Company's effective yield on its finance receivables decreased to 19.8%19.2% from 20.8%. Gain on sale of receivables resulted from the transfer of finance receivables to the AmeriCredit Automobile Receivables Trust 1995-B1996-A (the "Trust""1996-A Trust") in December 1995March 1996 and the issuance to investors of $65.0$89.4 million of automobile receivables- backedreceivables-backed certificates of the Trust. The gain on sale of receivables represented 8.6% of the original certificate balance. The Company's previous issuances of automobile receivables-backed securities in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995 were structured as debt issuances by subsidiaries of the Company and thus were accounted for as borrowings. Since the Company intends to structure future issuances of automobile receivables- backedreceivables-backed securities in a manner which will result in the recognition of a gain on sale of receivables, the amount and timing of such future transactions will significantly impact the Company's earnings from quarter to quarter. Servicing fee income represents the Company's base servicing fee, net excess servicing fees and other fees on the finance receivables sold to the Trust.Trusts. Investment income decreased as a result of lower average cash and cash equivalents and investment securities balances for the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 1995.1996. Other income for the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 19941996 and 1995 included $32,000$275,000 and $222,000, respectively, related to the Company's participation in certain joint ventures which acquire and collect distressed receivables portfolios. There was no income from these joint ventures in the three months ended December 31, 1995. COST AND EXPENSES: Operating expenses as an annualized percentage of average net owned and serviced finance receivables outstanding decreased to 7.0%7.3% for the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 19951996 as compared to 11.2%9.4% for the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 1994.1995. The ratio improved as a result of the Company's ability to leverage its fixed overhead costs by growing its finance receivables portfolio. The dollar amount of operating expenses increased by $2.1$3.2 million, or 63%85%, primarily due 13 to the addition of branch offices and branch management and portfolio servicing staff. 13 The provision for losses increased to $2,145,000$1,999,000 as compared to $883,000.$1,152,000. Further discussion concerning the provision for losses is included under the caption, "Finance Receivables". Interest expense of $3,748,000$3,315,000 for the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 19951996 resulted from borrowings on the Company's bank line of credit and the issuance of $51 million and $99.2 million of automobile receivables-backed notes in December 1994 and June 1995, respectively. Interest expense of $365,000$1,424,000 for the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 19941995 resulted primarily from borrowings on the Company's bank line of credit.credit and the issuance of $51 million of automobile receivables-backed notes in December 1994. The provision for income taxes in the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 19951996 resulted primarily from amortization of the Company's deferred tax asset at the federal statutory income tax rate. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company recognized a deferred tax asset equal to the expected future tax savings from using its net operating loss carryforward and other future tax benefits. Based on the Company's trend of positive operating results since entering the indirect automobile finance business in September 1992 and future expectations, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that its net operating loss carryforward and other future tax benefits would be fully utilized prior to expiration of the carryforward periods. The deferred tax asset is being amortized through a non-cash income tax provision against the Company's earnings as the net operating loss carryforward and other future tax benefits are utilized. The Company will not pay regular federal income taxes until the net operating loss carryforward and other future tax benefits have been fully recovered. Prior to the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company had offset the deferred tax asset with a valuation allowance. Accordingly, there was no provision for federal income taxes in the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 1994.1995. 14 SIXNINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBERMARCH 31, 19951996 AS COMPARED TO SIXNINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBERMARCH 31, 19941995 REVENUE: The Company's average net owned and serviced finance receivables outstanding consisted of the following (in thousands):

The dollar amount of operating expenses increased by $3.9$7.1 million, or 60.0%69%, primarily due to the addition of branch offices and branch management and portfolio servicing staff. The provision for losses increased to $4,112,000$6.1 million as compared to $1,537,000.$2.7 million. Further discussion concerning the provision for losses is included under the caption, "Finance Receivables". Interest expense of $6,862,000$10.2 million for the sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 19951996 resulted from borrowings on the Company's bank line of credit and the issuance of $51 million and $99.2 million of automobile receivables-backed notes in December 1994 and June 1995, respectively.

Accordingly, there was no provision for federal income taxes in the sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 1994.1995. FINANCE RECEIVABLES The Company provides financing in relatively high-risk markets, and therefore, charge-offs are anticipated. The Company records a periodic provision for losses as a charge to operations and a related allowance for losses in the consolidated balance sheet as a reserve against estimated future losses in the owned finance receivables portfolio. The Company typically purchases individual finance contracts with a non-refundable acquisition fee on a non-recourse basis. Such acquisition fees are also recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as an allowance for losses. The calculation of excess servicing receivable includes an allowance for estimated future losses over the remaining term of the finance receivables sold and currently serviced by the Company. The Company reviews historical origination and charge-off relationships, charge- off experience factors, collections information, 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 periodic provision for losses and the allowance for losses. Although the Company uses many resources to assess the adequacy of the allowance for losses, there is no precise method for accurately estimating the ultimate losses in the finance receivables portfolio. Net finance receivables represented 82.2%79.9% of the Company's total assets at DecemberMarch 31, 1995.1996.
