Basis of Presentation  American General Finance Corporation will be referred to as AGFC or collectively with its subsidiaries, whether directly or indirectly owned, as the Company, we, or our. AGFC is a wholly owned subsidiary of American General Finance, Inc. (AGFI). Effective June 29, 2007, AGFI became a direct wholly owned subsidiary of AIG Capital Corporation, a direct wholly owned subsidiary of American International Group, Inc. (AIG). AIG Capital Corporation holds full or majority interests in other AIG financial services affiliates, including International Lease Finance Corporation, AIG Consumer Finance Group, Inc., and AIG Equipment Finance Holdings, Inc. AGFI continues to be an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AIG.  We prepared our condensed consolidated financial statements using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). These statements are unaudited. The statements include the accounts of AGFC and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. We eliminated all material intercompany accounts and transactions. We made estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in our financial statements and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Ultimate results could differ from our estimates. You should read these statements in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. To conform to the 2007 presentation, we reclassified certain items in the prior period.   Note 2.  Acquisition  Effective January 2, 2007, we acquired Ocean Finance and Mortgages Limited (Ocean), which is headquartered in Staffordshire, England. As a finance broker in the United Kingdom, Ocean currently offers primarily home owner loans, mortgages, and refinancings. We accounted for this acquisition using purchase accounting, which dictates that the total consideration for a business must be allocated among the fair values of all the underlying assets and liabilities acquired.  At the effective date, the purchase price (a portion in the form of a note payable and the remainder as an other liability) was $251.0 million, consisting of $60.6 million for net assets and $190.4 million for intangibles. The majority of the tangible assets we acquired were real estate loans owned by Ocean and fixed assets, including a building, furniture and fixtures, automobiles, and computer software. We initially recorded $110.7 million of the intangibles as goodwill and $79.7 million as other intangibles. The other intangibles we acquired included trade names, non-compete agreements, lender panel (group of lenders for whom Ocean performs loan origination services), and customer relationships.  In second quarter 2007, we completed a valuation of the intangibles and tangible assets acquired. For the purpose of this valuation, fair value was defined as the amount at which an asset (or liability) could be bought (or sold) in a current transaction between willing parties. In our estimation of the fair values of Oceans assets, we relied upon variations of the valuation approaches described below:  · Income approach - estimates fair value based on the present value of the cash flows that Ocean is expected to generate in the future; · Market approach - estimates fair value of an intangible based on arms-length exchange prices in actual transactions and on asking prices for comparable assets currently offered for sale; and · Cost approach - estimates fair value using the concept of replacement cost as an indicator of value.  7   Based upon this valuation and updated estimates of future additional consideration, we adjusted the purchase price to $245.7 million, consisting of $71.2 million for net assets acquired, $68.7 million for goodwill, and $105.8 million for other intangibles. Additional consideration may be paid in the future based upon Oceans future earnings.  We included Oceans operating results in our financial statements beginning January 2, 2007, the effective date of the acquisition.   Note 3.  Additional Significant Accounting Policies Resulting from Ocean Acquisition  Loan Brokerage Fees Revenue Recognition  We recognize the following as loan brokerage fees revenue:  · commissions from lenders for loans brokered to them; · fees from customers to process their loans; and · fees from other credit originators for customer referrals.  We recognize these commissions and fees in loan brokerage fees revenues when earned.   Foreign Currency Translation  The functional currency of our operations in the United Kingdom is the local currency, the British Pound. We translate financial statement amounts expressed in British pounds into U.S. dollars using Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation. We translate functional currency assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. We translate revenues and expenses using monthly average exchange rates for the period. We record the translation adjustments, net of tax, as a separate component of other comprehensive income, which we include in stockholders equity.   Note 4.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements  In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes  an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income tax positions. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of an income tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and additional disclosures. Our adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, did not require an adjustment to the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. Excluding interest and penalties, the total amount of our unrecognized tax benefit at January 1, 2007, and September 30, 2007, was $5 million, all of which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. We had accrued $3.6 million at January 1, 2007, and $3.8 million at September 30, 2007, for the payment of interest (net of the federal benefit) and penalties. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. We anticipate a $1.2 million reduction to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits and a $0.5 million reduction for the payment of interest (net of the federal benefit) within the next twelve months due to the statute of limitations expiring.  8   AGFC and its eligible U.S. subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return with AIG. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has completed examinations of AIGs tax returns through 1996. The IRS has also completed examinations of AGFIs former direct parent companys tax returns through 1999. Although a Revenue Agents Report has not yet been issued for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001, or 2002, AIG has received a notice of proposed adjustment for certain items during that period from the IRS. The portion of proposed adjustments attributable to AGFC was immaterial.  In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. SFAS 157 will be effective January 1, 2008. We are currently assessing the effect, which is dependent on market conditions at the date of adoption, of implementing this guidance.  In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure at fair value many financial instruments and certain other items that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value for designated items will be required to be reported in earnings in the period in which the change occurs. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements for similar types of assets and liabilities measured at fair value. SFAS 159 will be effective January 1, 2008. We are currently assessing the effect of implementing this guidance, which depends on the nature and extent of items we elect to measure at fair value, upon initial application of the standard on January 1, 2008.

Our experience has shown that the funded amounts have been substantially less than the credit limits. All unused credit limits, in part or in total, can be cancelled at the discretion of AIG Bank and the Company.   Note 6.

Derivative Financial Instruments  AGFC uses derivative financial instruments in managing the cost of its debt and its return on real estate loans held for sale but is neither a dealer nor a trader in derivative financial instruments. AGFCs derivative financial instruments consist of: interest rate, cross currency, and equity-indexed swap agreements; interest rate lock commitments; and forward sale commitments.  While all of our interest rate, cross currency, and equity-indexed swap agreements mitigate economic exposure of related debt, not all of these swap agreements currently qualify as cash flow or fair value hedges under GAAP. At September 30, 2007, equity-indexed debt was immaterial.  We recognize all derivatives on our consolidated balance sheet at their fair value. We include derivatives in asset positions in other assets and those in liability positions in other liabilities. We record net unrealized gains and losses on derivatives in cash flows from operating activities on our consolidated statement of cash flows.  We designate each derivative as:  · a hedge of the variability of cash flows that we will receive or pay in connection with a recognized asset or liability (a cash flow hedge); · a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability (a fair value hedge); or · a derivative that does not qualify as either a cash flow or fair value hedge.  We record the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective and that we designate and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged transaction. We record the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective and that we designate and qualifies as a fair value hedge, along with changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk, in current period earnings in other revenues. We record changes in the fair value of a derivative that does not qualify as either a cash flow or fair value hedge and changes in the fair value of hedging instruments measured as ineffectiveness in current period earnings in other revenues.  10   We formally document all relationships between derivative hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk-management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions and our method to assess ineffectiveness. We link all derivatives that we designate as cash flow or fair value hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. For certain types of hedge relationships meeting specific criteria, SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities allows a shortcut method, which provides for an assumption of zero ineffectiveness. Under this method, the periodic assessment of effectiveness is not required. The Companys use of this method is limited to interest rate swaps that hedge certain borrowings. At September 30, 2007, certain of AGFCs cash flow and fair value hedges which qualified for hedge accounting treatment qualified under this method. For other AGFC cash flow and fair value hedges, we perform and document an initial prospective assessment of hedge effectiveness to demonstrate that the hedge is expected to be highly effective in future periods. Subsequently, on a regular basis, we perform a prospective hedge effectiveness assessment to demonstrate the continued expectation that the hedge will be highly effective in future periods and a retrospective hedge effectiveness assessment to demonstrate that the hedge was effective in the most recent period.  We discontinue hedge accounting prospectively when:  · the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows or fair value of a hedged item; · we sell, terminate, or exercise the derivative and/or the hedged item or they expire; or · we change our objectives or strategies and designating the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate.  For discontinued asset and liability fair value hedges, we begin amortizing the cumulative basis adjustment on the hedged item into earnings over the remaining life of the hedged item using the level yield method. For cash flow hedges that are discontinued for reasons other than the forecasted transaction is not probable of occurring, we begin reclassifying the accumulated other comprehensive income adjustment to earnings when earnings are affected by the hedged item. There was no discontinuance of qualified hedge relationships during the first nine months of 2007.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recognized a net loss of $0.2 million in other revenues related to the ineffective portion of our fair value hedging instruments. There were no amounts recognized in 2006. We included all components of each derivatives gain or loss in the assessment of hedge ineffectiveness.  We immediately recognize the portion of the gain or loss in the fair value of a derivative instrument in a cash flow hedge that represents hedge ineffectiveness in current period earnings. We recognized a gain related to ineffectiveness of $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, and $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, in other revenues. There were no amounts recognized in 2006. We included all components of each derivatives gain or loss in the assessment of hedge ineffectiveness.  At September 30, 2007, we expect $15.2 million of the deferred net gain on cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive loss to be reclassified to earnings during the 12 months ending September 30, 2008. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, there were no instances in which we reclassified amounts from other comprehensive income to earnings as a result of a discontinuance of a cash flow hedge, because it was probable the original forecasted cash flows would not occur at the end of the specified time period.  11   Note 8.

Segment Information  We have three business segments:  branch, centralized real estate, and insurance. We define our segments by types of financial service products we offer, nature of our production processes, and methods we use to distribute our products and to provide our services, as well as our management reporting structure.  In our branch business segment, we:  · originate real estate loans secured by first or second mortgages on residential real estate, which may be closed-end accounts or open-end home equity lines of credit and are generally considered non-conforming; · originate secured and unsecured non-real estate loans; · purchase retail sales contracts and provide revolving retail sales financing services arising from the retail sale of consumer goods and services by retail merchants; and · purchase private label finance receivables originated by AIG Bank under a participation agreement.  To supplement our lending and retail sales financing activities, we purchase portfolios of real estate loans, non-real estate loans, and retail sales finance receivables originated by other lenders. We also offer credit and non-credit insurance and ancillary products to all eligible branch customers.  12   In our centralized real estate business segment, we:  · originate residential real estate loans for sale to investors with servicing released to the purchaser; · originate residential real estate loans for transfer to the centralized real estate servicing center; and · service a portfolio of residential real estate loans generated through: · portfolio acquisitions from third party lenders; · correspondent relationships; · our mortgage origination subsidiaries; · refinancing existing mortgages; or · advances on home equity lines of credit.  Previously, we provided services for AIG Banks origination and sale of non-conforming residential real estate loans. In first quarter 2006, Wilmington Finance, Inc. (WFI) and MorEquity, Inc., which are subsidiaries of AGFC, terminated their mortgage services agreements with AIG Bank and began originating non-conforming residential real estate loans held for sale to investors using their own state licenses.  In our insurance business segment, we write and reinsure credit life, credit accident and health, credit-related property and casualty, and credit involuntary unemployment insurance covering our customers and the property pledged as collateral through products that the branch business segment offers to its customers. We also offer non-credit insurance products. In addition, we monitor our finance receivables to ensure that the collateral is adequately protected, and if it is not adequately protected, we place insurance to cover the collateral.  13   The following tables display information about the Companys segments as well as reconciliations to the condensed consolidated financial statement amounts.

Beginning in 2007, the All Other column also includes revenues and pretax income from our foreign subsidiary, Ocean, which we acquired in January 2007.  The Adjustments column includes the following:  · realized gains (losses) on investments for other revenues; and · realized gains (losses) on investments, interest expense related to re-allocations of debt among business segments, and provision for finance receivable losses due to redistribution of amounts provided for the allowance for finance receivable losses for pretax income.   Note 11.  Provision for Income Taxes  In first quarter 2007, we recognized a cumulative deferred tax benefit of $8.6 million resulting from the correction of an accounting error. In connection with the January 1, 2003, purchase business combination of WFI, we identified $40.9 million of intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 141 Business Combinations (SFAS 141) for which there was no corresponding tax basis. In years 2003 through 2006, we recorded a cumulative $8.6 million in current tax expense associated with the amortization of the intangible assets. Upon review of the amortization of these intangible assets, we concluded that a deferred tax liability of $14.3 million should have been established in accordance with SFAS No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes at the time of the purchase business combination and that, for years 2003 through 2006, the amortization of the intangible assets should have resulted in a cumulative deferred tax benefit of $8.6 million. Since no deferred tax liability was initially recorded, we recognized a cumulative deferred tax benefit of $8.6 million in first quarter 2007. We further concluded that, in accordance with SFAS 141, the $14.3 million deferred tax liability that should have been recorded at the time of the purchase business combination would have increased the amount of goodwill recorded in connection with the purchase business combination. Therefore, in first quarter 2007, we increased the $54.1 million of goodwill initially recorded in connection with the purchase business combination of WFI to $68.4 million.   Note 12.  Supervisory Agreement  As disclosed in AGFCs Current Report on Form 8-K dated June 7, 2007, AIG Bank, WFI, and AGFI entered into a Supervisory Agreement with the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) on June 7, 2007. The Supervisory Agreement pertains to certain mortgage loans originated in the name of AIG Bank by WFI pursuant to a mortgage services agreement between WFI and AIG Bank. The mortgage services agreement was terminated in February 2006.  Pursuant to the terms of the Supervisory Agreement, AIG Bank, WFI, and AGFI have implemented a financial remediation program whereby certain borrowers may be provided loans on more affordable terms and/or reimbursed for certain fees. Pursuant to the requirements of the Supervisory Agreement, we have engaged the services of an external consultant to monitor, evaluate, and periodically report to the OTS on our compliance with the remediation program. The Supervisory Agreement will remain in effect until terminated, modified or suspended in writing by the OTS. Failure to comply with the terms of the Agreement could result in the initiation of formal enforcement action by the OTS.  AIG Bank, WFI, and AGFI have also made a commitment to donate a total of $15 million over a three-year period to certain not-for-profit organizations to support their efforts to promote financial literacy and credit counseling.  15   In accordance with WFIs surviving obligations under the mortgage services agreement with AIG Bank, we established a reserve of $128 million (pretax) as of March 31, 2007, reflecting managements then best estimate of the expected costs of the remediation program. After completion of discussions with the OTS and the execution of the Supervisory Agreement, we recorded an additional reserve of $50 million, inclusive of the $15 million donation commitment, in second quarter 2007. As the estimate is based on judgments and assumptions made by management, the actual cost of implementing the remediation program may differ from this estimate. Also in second quarter 2007, AIG contributed capital to AGFI totaling $76 million to support AGFIs leverage at its targeted level as of June 30, 2007. AGFI then contributed $72 million to AGFC to support AGFCs leverage target. As of September 30, 2007, we have made reimbursements of $1.7 million for payments made by AIG Bank to refund certain fees to customers pursuant to the terms of the Supervisory Agreement.   Note 13.  Legal Contingencies  AGFC and certain of its subsidiaries are parties to various legal proceedings, including certain purported class action claims, arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these proceedings are pending in jurisdictions that permit damage awards disproportionate to the actual economic damages alleged to have been incurred. Based upon information presently available, we believe that the total amounts, if any, that will ultimately be paid arising from these legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial position. However, the continued occurrences of large damage awards in general in the United States, including, in some jurisdictions, large punitive damage awards that bear little or no relation to actual economic damages incurred by plaintiffs, create the potential for an unpredictable result in any given proceeding.  16   Item 2.  Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.   REPORT OF MANAGEMENTS RESPONSIBILITY   The Companys management is responsible for the integrity and fair statement of our condensed consolidated financial statements and all other financial information presented in this report. We prepared our condensed consolidated financial statements using GAAP. We made estimates and assumptions that affect amounts recorded in the financial statements and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.  The Companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an effective system of internal control over financial reporting. We established this system to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded from loss or unauthorized use, that transactions are recorded in accordance with GAAP under managements direction and that financial records are reliable to prepare financial statements. We support the internal control structure with careful selection, training and development of qualified personnel. The Companys employees are subject to AIGs Code of Conduct designed to assure that all employees perform their duties with honesty and integrity. Also, AIGs Director, Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officer Code of Business Conduct and Ethics covers such directors and officers of AIG and its subsidiaries, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Accounting Officer. We do not allow loans to executive officers. The aforementioned system includes a documented organizational structure and policies and procedures that we communicate throughout the Company. Our internal auditors report directly to the Senior Vice President and Director of Internal Audit of AIG to strengthen independence. They continually monitor the operation of our internal controls and report their findings to the Companys management, AIGs management, and AIGs internal audit department. We take prompt action to correct control deficiencies and improve the system.  All internal control structures and procedures for financial reporting, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Even internal controls and procedures determined to be effective may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Changes in conditions or the complexity of compliance with policies and procedures creates a risk that the effectiveness of our internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting may vary over time.  The Companys management, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, evaluates the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of each quarter and the changes in internal control over financial reporting for the quarter using the framework and criteria established in Internal Control  Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on an evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2007, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures have functioned effectively and that the condensed consolidated financial statements fairly present our consolidated financial position and the results of our operations for the periods presented. There have been no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2007, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.    American General Finance Corporation  17   FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS  This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our other publicly available documents may include, and the Companys officers and representatives may from time to time make, statements which may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are not historical facts but instead represent only our belief regarding future events, many of which are inherently uncertain and outside of our control. These statements may address, among other things, our strategy for growth, product development, regulatory approvals, market position, financial results and reserves. Our actual results and financial condition may differ from the anticipated results and financial condition indicated in these forward-looking statements. The important factors, many of which are outside of our control, that could cause our actual results to differ, possibly materially, include, but are not limited to, the following:  · changes in general economic conditions, including the interest rate environment in which we conduct business, the residential housing market, and the financial markets through which we access capital and invest cash flows from the insurance business segment; · changes in the competitive environment in which we operate, including the demand for our products, customer responsiveness to our distribution channels, and the formation of business combinations among our competitors; · the effectiveness of our credit risk scoring models in assessing the risk of customer unwillingness or inability to repay; · shifts in collateral values, contractual delinquencies, and credit losses; · levels of unemployment and personal bankruptcies; · our ability to access capital markets and maintain our credit rating position; · changes in laws, regulations, or regulator policies and practices that affect our ability to conduct business or the manner in which we conduct business, such as licensing requirements, pricing limitations or restrictions on the method of offering products, as well as changes that may result from increased regulatory scrutiny of the sub-prime lending industry; · the costs and effects of any litigation or governmental inquiries or investigations that are determined adversely to the Company; · changes in accounting standards or tax policies and practices and the application of such new policies and practices to the manner in which we conduct business; · our ability to integrate the operations of any acquisitions into our businesses; · changes in our ability to attract and retain employees or key executives to support our businesses; · natural or accidental events such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, or floods affecting our customers and collateral and our branches or other operating facilities; and · war, acts of terrorism, riots, civil disruption, pandemics, or other events disrupting business or commerce.  We also direct readers to other risks and uncertainties discussed in this report, including in Risk Factors in Part II, Item 1A, and in other documents we file with the SEC, including in Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. We are under no obligation (and expressly disclaim any obligation) to update or alter any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that we may make from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  18   CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES  We consider our most critical accounting estimate to be the establishment of an adequate allowance for finance receivable losses. Our Credit Strategy and Policy Committee evaluates our finance receivable portfolio monthly. The Credit Strategy and Policy Committee exercises its judgment, based on quantitative analyses, qualitative factors, and each committee members experience in the consumer finance industry, when determining the amount of the allowance for finance receivable losses. If the committees review concludes that an adjustment is necessary, we charge or credit this adjustment to expense through the provision for finance receivable losses. We consider this estimate to be a critical accounting estimate that affects the net income of the Company in total and the pretax operating income of our branch and centralized real estate business segments. We document the adequacy of the allowance for finance receivable losses, the analysis of the trends in credit quality, and the current economic conditions considered by the Credit Strategy and Policy Committee to support its conclusions. See Provision for Finance Receivable Losses for further information on the allowance for finance receivable losses.   OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS  We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by SEC rules.   CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY  Capital Resources  Our capital varies primarily with the amount of net finance receivables and real estate loans held for sale.

AGFC obtains our fixed-rate funding by issuing public or private long-term debt with maturities primarily ranging from three to ten years. AGFC obtains most of our floating-rate funding by issuing and refinancing commercial paper and by issuing long-term, floating-rate debt. We issue commercial paper, with maturities ranging from 1 to 270 days, to banks, insurance companies, corporations, and other institutional investors. At September 30, 2007, short-term debt included $4.8 billion of commercial paper. AGFC also issues extendible commercial notes with initial maturities of up to 90 days, which AGFC may extend to 390 days. At September 30, 2007, short-term debt included $116.9 million of extendible commercial notes.  AGFC uses interest rate, cross currency, and equity-indexed swap agreements in conjunction with specific long-term debt issuances. AGFCs objective is to achieve net U.S. dollar, fixed or floating interest rate exposure at costs not materially different from costs AGFC would have incurred by issuing U.S. dollar debt for the same net exposure without using derivatives.  19   We base our mix of debt and equity, or leverage, primarily upon maintaining leverage that supports cost-effective funding. AGFC has historically paid dividends to (or received capital contributions from) its parent to manage to our targeted leverage. Certain AGFC financing agreements effectively limit the amount of dividends AGFC is permitted to pay.    From 2001 through 2006, we targeted our leverage to be a ratio of 7.5 to 1 of debt to tangible equity, where tangible equity equaled total shareholders equity less goodwill and accumulated other comprehensive income. Beginning in the first quarter of 2007, we changed our method of measuring target leverage primarily to accommodate AGFCs issuance of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 60-year junior subordinated debentures (hybrid debt) following our acquisition of Ocean in January 2007. The debentures underlie a series of trust preferred securities sold by a trust sponsored by AGFC in a Rule 144A/Regulation S offering. AGFC can redeem the debentures at par beginning in January 2017. Based upon the terms of these junior subordinated debentures, credit rating agencies have acknowledged that until January 2017, at least 75% of such hybrid debt will be afforded equity treatment in their measurement of AGFCs leverage. Accordingly, management uses this measurement in the preparation of presentations for its rating agencies.  Accordingly, beginning in first quarter 2007, our targeted leverage was changed to 7.5 to 1 of adjusted debt to adjusted tangible equity, where adjusted debt equals total debt less 75% of hybrid debt and where adjusted tangible equity equals total shareholders equity plus 75% of hybrid debt and less goodwill, other intangibles, and accumulated other comprehensive income. Based on this definition, our adjusted tangible leverage at September 30, 2007, was 7.56x compared to 7.53x at September 30, 2006, and 7.59x at December 31, 2006.  Reconciliations of total debt to adjusted debt were as follows:  September 30,September 30,December 31,(dollars in millions)200720062006Total debt$23,659.6$22,537.4$22,958.375% of hybrid debt(261.9)--Adjusted debt$23,397.7$22,537.4$22,958.3   Reconciliations of equity to adjusted tangible equity were as follows:  September 30,September 30,December 31,(dollars in millions)200720062006Equity$3,218.7$3,259.5$3,287.775% of hybrid debt261.9--Goodwill(303.4)(220.4)(220.4)Other intangibles(114.5)(19.8)(18.6)Accumulated other comprehensive loss (income)33.9(25.6)(24.5)Adjusted tangible equity$3,096.6$2,993.7$3,024.2   Liquidity Facilities  We maintain credit facilities to support the issuance of commercial paper and to provide an additional source of funds for operating requirements. AGFC does not guarantee any borrowings of AGFI.  At September 30, 2007, AGFC had committed credit facilities totaling $4.753 billion, including a $2.125 billion multi-year credit facility and a $2.625 billion 364-day credit facility. The 364-day facility allows for the conversion by the borrower of any outstanding loan at expiration into a one-year term loan. AGFI is an eligible borrower under the 364-day facility for up to $400.0 million. The annual commitment fees  20   for the facilities are based upon AGFCs long-term credit ratings and averaged 0.06% atSeptember 30, 2007. There were no amounts outstanding under these committed credit facilities atSeptember 30, 2007 or 2006.  At September 30, 2007, AGFC and certain of its subsidiaries also had uncommitted credit facilities of $279.0 million, which included credit facilities to support the operations of Ocean. Portions of these uncommitted facilities were shared with AGFI and could be increased depending upon lender ability to participate its loans under these facilities. Outstanding borrowings under these uncommitted credit facilities totaled $65.3 million at September 30, 2007. There were no amounts outstanding under the uncommitted credit facility at September 30, 2006.   Liquidity  Our sources of funds include cash flows from operations, issuances of long-term debt in domestic and foreign markets, short-term borrowings in the commercial paper market, borrowings from banks under credit facilities, and sales of finance receivables. AGFC has also received capital contributions from its parent to support finance receivable growth and maintain targeted leverage.  We believe that our overall sources of liquidity will continue to be sufficient to satisfy our operational requirements and financial obligations. The principal factors that could decrease our liquidity are customer non-payment and an inability to access capital markets. The principal factors that could increase our cash needs are significant increases in net originations and purchases of finance receivables. We intend to mitigate liquidity risk by continuing to operate the Company utilizing the following existing strategies:  · maintaining a finance receivable portfolio comprised primarily of real estate loans, which generally represent a lower risk of customer non-payment; · monitoring finance receivables using our credit risk and asset/liability management systems; · maintaining an investment securities portfolio of predominantly investment grade, liquid securities; and · maintaining a capital structure appropriate to our asset base.  Principal sources and uses of cash were as follows:  Nine Months Ended September 30,(dollars in millions)20072006Principal sources of cash:

We have implemented programs and operating guidelines that are intended to maintain adequate liquidity, to mitigate the impact of an inability to access capital markets, and to provide contingent funding sources. These programs and guidelines include the following:  · We manage commercial paper as a percentage of total debt. At September 30, 2007, that percentage was 20% compared to 19% at September 30, 2006. · We spread commercial paper maturities throughout upcoming weeks and months. · We limit the amount of commercial paper that any one investor may hold. · We maintain credit facilities to support the issuance of commercial paper and to provide an additional source of funds for operating requirements. At September 30, 2007, we had $4.753 billion of committed bank credit facilities. · At September 30, 2007, AGFC had the corporate authority to issue up to $10.8 billion of senior long-term debt securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933 using AGFCs effective shelf registration statements. · We have established AGFC as an issuer in foreign capital markets. · We have the ability to sell, on a whole loan basis, or sell for securitizations, a portion of our finance receivables. · We collect principal payments on our finance receivables, which totaled $7.6 billion in the twelve months ended September 30, 2007. We chose to reinvest most of these collections, plus additional amounts from borrowings, in new finance receivables during this period, but these funds could be made available for other uses, if necessary. · We have the ability to sell a portion of our insurance subsidiaries investment securities and to dividend, subject to certain regulatory limits, cash from the securities sales.  22   SEGMENTS  See Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our business segments.  The following statistics are derived from the Companys segment reporting and are presented on a GAAP basis. We believe the following segment statistics are relevant to the reader because they are used by management to analyze and evaluate the performance of our business segments. We exclude the effect of items included in All Other from our segment reporting. All Other includes finance receivables and finance charges that are not identified as part of our business segments.

While there are no industry-wide agreed upon definitions for these categorizations, many market participants utilize third party credit scores as a means to categorize the finance receivable and creditworthiness of the borrower. Our finance receivable underwriting process does not use third party credit scores as a primary determinant for credit decisions. However, for informational purposes, we present below our net finance receivables and delinquency ratios grouped into the following categories based solely on borrower Fair Isaac & Co. (FICO) credit scores at the date of loan origination or renewal:  · Prime:  Borrower FICO score greater than or equal to 660 · Non-prime:  Borrower FICO score greater than 619 and less than 660 · Sub-prime:  Borrower FICO score less than or equal to 619  Many finance receivables included in the prime category below might not meet other market definitions of prime loans due to certain characteristics of the borrowers, such as their elevated debt-to-income ratios, lack of income stability, or level of income disclosure and verification, as well as credit repayment history or similar measurements.

See Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the Supervisory Agreement.  Recent developments affecting the mortgage loan and U.S. residential real estate markets could adversely affect our business. The non-prime or sub-prime mortgage loan market has been the subject of negative attention and has been, and may in the future become, subject to increased or changing regulation. Market developments and regulatory changes could limit our business growth opportunities and could increase our cost of borrowing through the capital markets. Any increased or changing regulation could also require us to devote additional resources to comply with that regulation. Further, the downturn in the U.S. residential real estate market may adversely affect our results of operations. In many cases, decreased property values that accompany a market downturn reduce a borrowers ability to refinance his or her mortgage. In addition, interest rate resets on adjustable-rate loans could negatively impact a borrowers ability to repay. Defaults by borrowers could cause losses, could lead to increased claims relating to non-prime or sub-prime mortgage origination practices, and could encourage the adoption of increased regulation. Any sustained period of significantly increased costs, delinquencies or losses could adversely affect our results of operations.  For a discussion of additional risk factors relating to our businesses, see Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

This environment also resulted in an increase in non-real estate loan average net receivables as customers preferred to take out non-real estate loans rather than refinance their real estate loans at higher interest rates. Retail sales finance average net receivables increased due to marketing efforts that added new retail merchants.  Yield by type and changes in yield in basis points (bp) when compared to the same periods for the previous year were as follows:  Three Months Ended September 30,20072006YieldChangeYieldChangeReal estate loans8.21%(23) bp8.44%19  bpNon-real estate loans20.50(40)20.9050Retail sales finance12.094211.67(41)Total10.40(3)10.4330   Nine Months Ended September 30,20072006YieldChangeYieldChangeReal estate loans8.40%(7) bp8.47%16  bpNon-real estate loans20.67(34)21.0121Retail sales finance11.742911.45(122)Total10.511010.419   Yield remained near the same level for the three months ended September 30, 2007, when compared to the same period in 2006. Yield increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, when compared to the same period in 2006 reflecting a higher proportion of non-real estate loans and retail sales finance compared to a lower proportion of real estate loans. Real estate loan yield and non-real estate loan yield decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, when compared to the same periods in 2006 as we originated new loans at lower rates based on market conditions, tighter underwriting guidelines, and revised credit risk scoring models. Retail sales finance yield increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, when compared to the same period in 2006 as the change in the mix to longer term promotional products stabilized.  28   Mortgage Banking Revenues  Mortgage banking revenues were as follows:  Three Months EndedNine Months EndedSeptember 30,September 30,(dollars in millions)2007200620072006Net gain on sales of real estate loans held for sale$ 16.1$62.0$ 83.7$111.4Provision for warranty reserve(17.1)(7.7)(62.4)(16.9)Interest income on real estate loans held for sale10.623.850.050.7Total$   9.6$78.1$ 71.3$145.2Amount change$(68.5)$76.7$(73.9)$138.3Percent change(88)%N/M*(51)%N/M*  * Not meaningful   Mortgage banking revenues decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2007, when compared to the same period in 2006 reflecting a decrease in originations of real estate loans held for sale primarily due to the slower U.S. housing market and tighter underwriting guidelines. The decrease in mortgage banking revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007, when compared to the same period in 2006 also reflected an increase in provision for warranty reserve which covers costs associated with buybacks from investors of mortgage loans that incur certain borrower defaults. Mortgage banking revenues decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, when compared to the same period in 2006 reflecting an increase in provision for warranty reserve, a decrease in originations of real estate loans held for sale, and a shift in distribution channels.   Insurance Revenues  Insurance revenues were as follows:  Three Months EndedNine Months EndedSeptember 30,September 30,(dollars in millions)2007200620072006Earned premiums$40.9$38.1$119.4$114.9Commissions1.90.26.60.7Total$42.8$38.3$126.0$115.6Amount change$  4.5$(1.0)$  10.4$  (7.1)Percent change12%(3)%9%(6)%   Commissions increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, when compared to the same periods in 2006 primarily due to our acquisition of Ocean in January 2007.

Earned premiums increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, when compared to the same periods in 2006 primarily due to increases in credit and non-credit premium volume.  29   Investment Revenue  Three Months EndedNine Months EndedSeptember 30,September 30,(dollars in millions)2007200620072006Investment revenue$23.5$22.9$67.0$66.8Amount change$  0.6$  1.0$  0.2$  2.4Percent change3%4%- %4%   Investment revenue was affected by the following:  Three Months EndedNine Months EndedSeptember 30,September 30,(dollars in millions)2007200620072006Average invested assets$1,537.8$1,446.3$1,514.8$1,428.6Investment portfolio yield6.31%6.18%6.06%6.28%Net realized losses on investments$     (1.6)$      (0.2)$     (3.9)$      (1.7)   Loan Brokerage Fees Revenues  Three Months EndedNine Months EndedSeptember 30,September 30,(dollars in millions)2007200620072006Loan brokerage fees revenues$18.8$   -$62.0$   -Amount change$18.8$   -$62.0$   -Percent changeN/A*N/A*N/A*N/A*  * Not applicable   Loan brokerage fees revenues reflect the inclusion of Ocean operations in 2007 periods.

We established a $128 million reserve as of March 31, 2007, and recorded an additional reserve of $50 million in second quarter 2007 reflecting managements best estimate of the expected costs of the remediation program pursuant to the terms of the Supervisory Agreement with the OTS. See Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the Supervisory Agreement.  The decrease in net service fees from affiliates for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, when compared to the same period in 2006 also reflected the decrease in AIG Banks origination and sale of real estate loans held for sale using our mortgage origination services following the termination of the mortgage services agreements with AIG Bank in first quarter 2006.

These variances relate primarily to economically swapped positions that did not receive hedge accounting designation until June 2007.  The loss in other revenues decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, when compared to the same period in 2006 primarily due to positive variances in foreign exchange losses on foreign currency denominated debt that were not fully offset by negative variances arising from the fair value adjustments of derivatives. These variances relate primarily to economically swapped positions that did not receive hedge accounting designation until June 2007. The increase in other revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, when compared to the same period in 2006 was also partially offset by lower interest revenue on notes receivable from AGFI.  31   Interest Expense  The impact of using the swap agreements that qualify as hedges under GAAP is included in interest expense and the related borrowing statistics below.

Provision for finance receivable losses increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, when compared to the same period in 2006 primarily due to reductions to the allowance for finance receivable losses of $37.9 million during 2006, compared to net additions to the allowance for finance receivable losses of $47.5 million during 2007, in response to economic fundamentals during each period, and higher net charge-offs in 2007. The increase in provision for finance receivable losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, when compared to the same period in 2006 also reflected $5.5 million of non-recurring recoveries recorded in first quarter 2006.

The increase in charge-off ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, when compared to the same period in 2006 also reflected $5.5 million of non-recurring recoveries recorded in first quarter 2006.

Real estate owned increased to $93.6 million at September 30, 2007, from $48.2 million at September 30, 2006. However, we have not experienced an increase of similar magnitude in writedowns on real estate owned or a decrease of similar magnitude in net recovery on sales of real estate owned. See Other Revenues for information on writedowns on real estate owned and net recovery on sales of real estate owned.  Our Credit Strategy and Policy Committee evaluates our finance receivable portfolio monthly to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for finance receivable losses. We believe the amount of the allowance for finance receivable losses is the most significant estimate we make. In our opinion, the allowance is adequate to absorb losses inherent in our existing portfolio. The increase in the allowance for finance receivable losses at September 30, 2007, when compared to September 30, 2006, was primarily due to increases to the allowance for finance receivable losses through the provision for finance receivable losses in 2007 in response to our higher levels of real estate loan delinquency. This increase was partially offset by decreases to the allowance for finance receivable losses through the provision for finance receivable losses reflecting our quarterly evaluations of our loss exposure relating to Hurricane Katrina during 2007 and throughout 2006. In third quarter 2005, we added $56.8 million to our allowance for finance receivable losses in anticipation of additional finance receivable charge-offs resulting from Hurricane Katrina. As a result of our quarterly evaluations of our loss exposure relating to Hurricane Katrina, we reduced our allowance for finance receivable losses by $20.4 million during the twelve months ended September 30, 2007.  The allowance ratio at September 30, 2007, increased when compared to September 30, 2006, primarily due to increases to the allowance for finance receivable losses through the provision for finance receivable losses, partially offset by growth in finance receivables during the twelve months ended September 30, 2007.  Charge-off coverage, which compares the allowance for finance receivable losses to net charge-offs (annualized), decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, when compared to the same periods in 2006 primarily due to higher net charge-offs, partially offset by higher allowance for finance receivable losses.   Insurance Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses  Insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses were as follows:  Three Months EndedNine Months EndedSeptember 30,September 30,(dollars in millions)2007200620072006Claims incurred$15.2$13.8$48.1$46.3Change in benefit reserves0.9(0.9)0.7(3.3)Total$16.1$12.9$48.8$43.0Amount change$  3.2$(4.5)$  5.8$(7.5)Percent change24%(25)%13%(15)%  36   Insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, when compared to the same periods in 2006 primarily due to an increase in benefit reserves for ordinary policies and higher claims incurred.

We established a $128 million reserve as of March 31, 2007, and recorded an additional reserve of $50 million in second quarter 2007 reflecting managements best estimate of the expected costs of the remediation program pursuant to the terms of the Supervisory Agreement with the OTS. See Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the Supervisory Agreement.  The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, reflected a cumulative deferred tax benefit of $8.6 million resulting from the correction of an accounting error. In connection with the January 1, 2003, purchase business combination of WFI, we identified $40.9 million of intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 141 Business Combinations (SFAS 141) for which there was no corresponding tax basis. In years 2003 through 2006, we recorded a cumulative $8.6 million in current tax expense associated with the amortization of the intangible assets. Upon review of the amortization of these intangible assets, we concluded that a deferred tax liability of $14.3 million should have been established in accordance with SFAS No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes at the time of the purchase business combination and that, for years 2003 through 2006, the amortization of the intangible assets should have resulted in a cumulative deferred tax benefit of $8.6 million. Since no deferred tax liability was initially recorded, we recognized a cumulative deferred tax benefit of $8.6 million in first quarter 2007. We further concluded that, in accordance with SFAS 141, the $14.3 million deferred tax liability that should have been recorded at the time of the purchase business combination would have increased the amount of goodwill recorded in connection with the purchase business combination. Therefore, in first quarter 2007, we increased the $54.1 million of goodwill initially recorded in connection with the purchase business combination of WFI to $68.4 million.  Our effective income tax rate also declined for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, due to the lower pretax income of a subsidiary operating in states with higher than average tax rates.  37   Asset/Liability Management  To reduce the risk associated with unfavorable changes in interest rates not offset by favorable changes in yield of our finance receivables, we monitor the anticipated cash flows of our assets and liabilities, principally our finance receivables and debt. We fund finance receivables with a combination of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt and equity. We base the mix of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt, in part, on the nature of the finance receivables being supported. Our real estate loans held for sale are funded primarily with floating-rate debt.  We issue fixed-rate, long-term debt as the primary source of fixed-rate debt. AGFC also alters the nature of certain floating-rate funding by using swap agreements to create synthetic fixed-rate, long-term debt to limit our exposure to market interest rate increases. Additionally, AGFC has swapped fixed-rate, long-term debt interest payments to floating-rate interest payments. Including the impact of interest rate swap agreements that effectively fix floating-rate debt or float fixed-rate debt, our floating-rate debt represented 34% of our borrowings at September 30, 2007, compared to 40% at September 30, 2006. Approximately $444.3 million of our floating-rate debt at September 30, 2007, was attributed to funding real estate loans held for sale. Adjustable-rate net finance receivables (excluding those still in a fixed-rate period) represented 4% of our net finance receivables at September 30, 2007, compared to 6% at September 30, 2006. Approximately 10% of our real estate loans outstanding at September 30, 2007, are scheduled to reset by the end of 2008.   38   Item 4T.  Controls and Procedures.   (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures  The Companys disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified by the SECs rules and forms. The Companys disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  The Companys management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluates the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of each quarter using the framework and criteria established in Internal Control  Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on an evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2007, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective and that the condensed consolidated financial statements fairly present our consolidated financial position and the results of our operations for the periods presented.  (b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting  There have been no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2007, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.    PART II  OTHER INFORMATION   Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.   See Note 13 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  39   Item 1A.  Risk Factors.   Recent developments affecting the mortgage loan and U.S. residential real estate markets could adversely affect our business.  The non-prime or sub-prime mortgage loan market has been the subject of negative attention and has been, and may in the future become, subject to increased or changing regulation. Market developments and regulatory changes could limit our business growth opportunities and could increase our cost of borrowing through the capital markets. Any increased or changing regulation could also require us to devote additional resources to comply with that regulation. Further, the downturn in the U.S. residential real estate market may adversely affect our results of operations. In many cases, decreased property values that accompany a market downturn reduce a borrowers ability to refinance his or her mortgage. In addition, interest rate resets on adjustable-rate loans could negatively impact a borrowers ability to repay. Defaults by borrowers could cause losses, could lead to increased claims relating to non-prime or sub-prime mortgage origination practices, and could encourage the adoption of increased regulation. Any sustained period of significantly increased costs, delinquencies or losses could adversely affect our results of operations.  For a discussion of additional risk factors relating to our businesses, see Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.    Item 6.
