AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements March 31, 2011   Note 1.  Basis of Presentation  Until November 30, 2010, Springleaf Finance, Inc. (SLFI or, collectively with its subsidiaries, whether directly or indirectly owned, the Company, we, or our) (formerly American General Finance, Inc.) was a direct wholly owned subsidiary of AIG Capital Corporation (ACC), a direct wholly owned subsidiary of American International Group, Inc. (AIG), a Delaware corporation. On August 11, 2010, AIG and FCFI Acquisition LLC (FCFI), an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC (Fortress), announced a definitive agreement (Stock Purchase Agreement) whereby FCFI would indirectly acquire an 80% economic interest in SLFI from ACC (the FCFI Transaction). AIG, through ACC, indirectly retained a 20% economic interest in SLFI. On November 30, 2010 and immediately prior to the consummation of the FCFI Transaction, ACC contributed all of its outstanding shares of common stock in SLFI to AGF Holding Inc. (AGF Holding), a wholly owned subsidiary of ACC. In accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement, it was necessary that this restructuring be completed prior to the closing of the FCFI Transaction. AIG then caused ACC to sell to FCFI 80% of the outstanding shares of AGF Holding. SLFIs principal subsidiary is Springleaf Finance Corporation (SLFC) (formerly American General Finance Corporation).  We prepared our condensed consolidated financial statements using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). These statements are unaudited. The statements include the accounts of SLFI 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Ultimate results could differ from our estimates. We evaluated the effects of and the need to disclose events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date. 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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. To conform to the 2011 presentation, we reclassified certain items in the prior period.  Because of the nature of the FCFI Transaction, the significance of the ownership interest acquired, and at the direction of our acquirer, we applied push-down accounting to SLFI and SLFC as the acquired businesses. We revalued our assets and liabilities based on their fair values at the date of the FCFI Transaction in accordance with business combination accounting standards (push-down accounting). Accordingly, a new basis of accounting was established and, for accounting purposes, the old entity (the Predecessor Company) was terminated and a new entity (the Successor Company) was created. This distinction is made throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q through the inclusion of a vertical black line between the Predecessor Company and the Successor Company columns.  As a result of the application of push-down accounting, the bases of the assets and liabilities of the Successor Company are not comparable to those of the Predecessor Company, nor would the income statement items for the three months ended March 31, 2011 have been the same as those reported if push-down accounting had not been applied.  8     Note 2.  Recent Accounting Standards  We will adopt the following accounting standards in the future:  Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts  In October 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an accounting standard update that amends the accounting for costs incurred by insurance companies that can be capitalized in connection with acquiring or renewing insurance contracts. The new standard clarifies how to determine whether the costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts qualify as deferred acquisition costs. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2012 with early adoption permitted. Prospective or retrospective application is permitted. The adoption of this new standard will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.   A Creditors Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring  In April 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard that clarifies which loan modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings (TDR). In evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a TDR, a creditor must separately conclude that both of the following exist: (1) the restructuring constitutes a concession; and (2) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. This standard amends the accounting guidance on a creditors evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The new standard is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. Early application is permitted. The adoption of this new standard will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.   Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements  In April 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to existing criteria for determining whether or not a transferor has retained effective control over securities sold under agreements to repurchase. A secured borrowing is recorded when effective control over the transferred financial assets is maintained while a sale is recorded when effective control over the transferred financial assets has not been maintained. The amendment removes the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee. The collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to this criterion also is removed. The collateral maintenance implementation guidance was a requirement of the transferor to demonstrate that it possessed adequate collateral to fund substantially all the cost of purchasing the replacement financial assets. The amendment is effective for us beginning January 1, 2012. The guidance should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. Early adoption is not permitted. We are in the process of reviewing the potential impact to us.  9     Note 3.

See Note 4 and Note 9 for further discussion regarding our securitization transactions.Also included in the table above are finance receivables that have been pledged as collateral for our secured term loan totaling $7.4 billion at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.  Unused credit limits extended to customers by the Company totaled $182.0 million at March 31, 2011 and $162.3 million at December 31, 2010. All unused credit limits, in part or in total, can be cancelled at the discretion of the Company.  There are many different categorizations used in the consumer lending industry to describe the creditworthiness of a borrower, including prime, non-prime, and sub-prime. 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 creditworthiness of the borrower and his or her finance receivable. Our finance receivable underwriting process does not use third-party credit scores as a primary determinant for credit decisions. However, we do, in part, use such scores to analyze performance of our finance receivable portfolio.  We present below our net finance receivables and delinquency ratios grouped into the following categories based solely on borrower Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO)credit scores at the date of 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  10     Many finance receivables included in the prime category in the table 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.  FICO-delineated prime, non-prime, and sub-prime categories for net finance receivables by portfolio segment and by class were as follows:

(MorEquity) entered into a Commitment to Purchase Financial Instrument and Servicer Participation Agreement (the Agreement) with the Federal National Mortgage Association as financial agent for the United States Department of the Treasury, which provides for participation in the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP). MorEquity entered into the Agreement as the servicer with respect to our centralized real estate finance receivables, with an effective date of September 1, 2009. On February 1, 2011, MorEquity entered into Subservicing Agreements for the servicing of its centralized real estate finance receivables with Nationstar Mortgage LLC (Nationstar), a non-subsidiary affiliate of SLFC. In light of the subservicing transfer and the fact that MorEquity no longer is servicing loans, it has requested that the Agreement be terminated. Eligible Loans subserviced by Nationstar would still be subject to HAMP. As of March 31, 2011, MorEquity had completed 1,250 HAMP modifications and 150 trial HAMP modifications were in process.  Other subsidiaries of the Company have not entered into HAMP but operate a proprietary loan modification/loss mitigation program.  15     Note 4.  On-Balance Sheet Securitization Transactions  As part of our overall funding strategy and as part of our efforts to support our liquidity from sources other than our traditional capital market sources, we have transferred certain finance receivables to variable interest entities (VIEs) for securitization transactions. These securitization transactions do not satisfy the requirements for accounting sale treatment because the securitization trusts do not have the right to freely pledge or exchange the transferred assets. We also have significant discretion for working out and disposing of defaulted real estate loans and disposing of any foreclosed real estate held by the VIEs. Since the transactions do not meet all of the criteria for sale accounting treatment, the securitized assets and related liabilities are included in our financial statements and are accounted for as secured borrowings.

Our 2009 securitization transaction utilizes a third-party servicer to service the finance receivables. Although we have servicer responsibilities for the finance receivables for our other existing securitization transactions, effective February 1, 2011, Nationstar began subservicing the finance receivables for the 2006 and 2010 securitization transactions. In the case of each existing securitization transaction, the related finance receivables have been legally isolated and are only available for payment of the debt and other obligations issued or arising in the applicable securitization transaction. The cash and cash equivalent balances relating to securitization transactions are used only to support the on-balance sheet securitization transactions and are recorded as restricted cash. We hold the right to the excess cash flows not needed to pay the debt and other obligations issued or arising in our securitization transactions. The asset-backed debt has been issued by consolidated VIEs.  16     Note 5.

As a result of charging off the non-credit impaired finance receivables, $15.3 million of valuation discount accretion was accelerated and is included as a component of finance charges within revenues.  (b) Successor Company includes $5.0 million of recoveries ($2.9 million branch real estate loan recoveries, $1.9 million branch non-real estate loan recoveries, and $0.2 million branch retail sales finance recoveries) as a result of a settlement of claims relating to our February 2008 purchase of Equity One, Inc.s consumer branch finance receivable portfolio.   Within our three main finance receivable types are sub-portfolios, each consisting of a large number of relatively small, homogenous accounts. We evaluate these sub-portfolios for impairment as groups. None of our accounts are large enough to warrant individual evaluation for impairment.  We estimate our allowance for finance receivable losses primarily using the authoritative guidance for contingencies. We base our allowance for finance receivable losses primarily on historical loss experience using migration analysis and the Monte Carlo technique applied to sub-portfolios of large numbers of relatively small homogenous accounts. Both techniques are historically-based statistical techniques that attempt to predict the future amount of losses for existing pools of finance receivables. We adjust the amounts determined by migration and Monte Carlo for managements estimate of the effects of model imprecision, any changes to its underwriting criteria, portfolio seasoning, and current economic conditions, including the levels of unemployment and personal bankruptcies.  17     We use our internal data of net charge-offs and delinquency by sub-portfolio as the basis to determine the historical loss experience component of our allowance for finance receivable losses. We use monthly bankruptcy statistics, monthly unemployment statistics, and various other monthly or periodic economic statistics published by departments of the U.S. government and other economic statistics providers to determine the economic component of our allowance for finance receivable losses.  The allowance for finance receivable losses related to our credit impaired finance receivables is calculated using updated cash flows expected to be collected, incorporating assumptions regarding default rates, loss severities, the amounts and timing of prepayments and other factors that are reflective of current market conditions. Probable decreases in expected finance receivable principal cash flows result in the recognition of impairment. Probable and significant increases (defined as a change in cash flows equal to 10 percent or more) in expected cash flows to be collected would first reverse any previously recorded allowance for finance receivable losses.  We also establish reserves for TDR finance receivables, which are included in our allowance for finance receivable losses. The allowance for finance receivable losses related to our TDRs is calculated in homogeneous aggregated pools of impaired finance receivables that have common risk characteristics. We establish our allowance for finance receivable losses related to our TDRs by calculating the present value (discounted at the loans effective interest rate prior to modification) of all expected cash flows less the recorded investment in the aggregated pool. We use certain assumptions to estimate the expected cash flows from our TDRs. The primary assumptions for our model are prepayment speeds, default rates, and severity rates.  18     Note 6.

Management considers factors such as our investment strategy, liquidity requirements, overall business plans, and recovery periods for securities in previous periods of broad market declines. For fixed-maturity securities with significant declines, management performs extended fundamental credit analysis on a security-by-security basis, which includes consideration of credit enhancements, expected defaults on underlying collateral, review of relevant industry analyst reports and forecasts and other market available data.  20     We did not recognize in earnings the unrealized losses on fixed-maturity securities at March 31, 2011, because management neither intends to sell the securities nor does it believe that it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. Furthermore, management expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities (that is, they are not credit impaired).  As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had no investment securities which had been in an unrealized loss position of more than 50% for more than 12 months. As part of our credit evaluation procedures applied to investment securities, we consider the nature of both the specific securities and the general market conditions for those securities. Based on managements analysis, we continue to believe the expected cash flows from our investment securities will be sufficient to recover the amortized cost of our investment. We continue to monitor these positions for potential credit impairments.  At March 31, 2011, we had no unrealized losses on investment securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment was recognized. In 2011, we reclassified $0.4 million in unrealized losses on investment securities, previously classified as other-than-temporarily impaired, to unrealized losses on all other investment securities to reflect the proper classification of these investment securities for which no other-than-temporary impairment was recognized.

Restricted Cash  Restricted cash at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 included funds related to our $3.0 billion secured term loan executed in April 2010, funds to be used for future debt payments relating to our securitization transactions (see Note 4), and escrow deposits.   Note 8.  Related Party Transactions  AFFILIATE LENDING  Prior to the FCFI Transaction, SLFC made loans to AIG under demand note agreements as a short-term investment source for cash. Interest revenue on notes receivable from AIG totaled zero for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010.     COST SHARING AGREEMENTS  Prior to the FCFI Transaction, we were party to cost sharing agreements, including tax sharing arrangements, with AIG. Generally, these agreements provided for the allocation of shared corporate costs based upon a proportional allocation of costs to all AIG subsidiaries. See Note 12 for further information on the tax sharing arrangements  22     We also reimburse AIG Federal Savings Bank (AIG Bank), a subsidiary of AIG, for costs associated with a remediation program related to a Supervisory Agreement among AIG Bank, Wilmington Finance, Inc. (WFI), SLFI, and the Office of Thrift Supervision dated June 7, 2007 (the Supervisory Agreement). As of March 31, 2011, we have made reimbursements of $61.9 million for payments made by AIG Bank to refund certain fees to customers pursuant to the terms of the Supervisory Agreement. At March 31, 2011, the remaining reserve, which reflects managements best estimate of the expected costs of the remediation program, totaled $1.4 million.   REINSURANCE AGREEMENTS  Merit Life Insurance Co. (Merit), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SLFC, enters into reinsurance agreements with subsidiaries of AIG, for reinsurance of various group annuity, credit life, and credit accident and health insurance where Merit reinsures the risk of loss. The reserves for this business fluctuate over time and in some instances are subject to recapture by the insurer. Reserves on the books of Merit for reinsurance agreements with subsidiaries of AIG totaled $50.5 million at March 31, 2011 and $51.2 million at December 31, 2010.   DERIVATIVES  At March 31, 2011 all of our derivative financial instruments were with AIG Financial Products Corp. (AIGFP), a subsidiary of AIG. At December 31, 2010 all but one of our derivative financial instruments were with AIGFP. This contract was terminated in March 2011 due to the sale of the related note receivable from AIG. See Note 10 for further information on our derivatives.   SUBSERVICING AND REFINANCE AGREEMENTS  Effective February 1, 2011, Nationstar began subservicing the centralized real estate loans of MorEquity and two other subsidiaries of SLFC (collectively, the Owners). In addition, Nationstar began subservicing certain real estate loans that MorEquity had been servicing in conjunction with the 2006 and 2010 securitization of these real estate loans and began refinancing certain first lien mortgage loans. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Owners paid Nationstar $2.2 million in fees for its subservicing services and $0.7 million to pay closing costs and reduce the principal amount of refinancings.   Note 9.  VIEs  CONSOLIDATED VIES  We use special purpose entities (securitization trusts) to issue asset-backed securities in securitization transactions to investors. We evaluated the securitization trusts, determined that these entities are VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary, and therefore consolidated such entities. We are deemed to be the primary beneficiaries of these VIEs because we have power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits that are potentially significant to the VIE. We have consent power over sales of defaulted real estate loans, which is a significant loss mitigation procedure, and, therefore, a significant control, and our retained subordinated and residual interest trust certificates expose us to potentially significant losses and potentially significant returns.  23     The asset-backed securities are backed by the expected cash flows from securitized real estate loans. Other than servicing fees and prepayment penalties (for our 2003 and 2006 securitizations only), payments from these real estate loans are not available to us until the repayment of the debt issued in connection with the securitization transactions has occurred. We recorded these transactions as on-balance sheet secured financings because the transfer of these real estate loans to the trusts did not qualify for sale accounting treatment. We retain interests in these securitization transactions, including senior and subordinated securities issued by the VIEs and residual interests. We retain credit risk in the securitizations because our retained interests include the most subordinated interest in the securitized assets, which are the first to absorb credit losses on the securitized assets. At March 31, 2011, these retained interests were primarily comprised of $1.4 billion, or 37%, of the assets transferred in connection with the on-balance sheet securitizations. We expect that any credit losses in the pools of securitized assets would likely be limited to our retained interests. We have no obligation to repurchase or replace qualified securitized assets that subsequently become delinquent or are otherwise in default. See Note 4 for further discussion regarding these securitization transactions.  The total consolidated VIE assets and liabilities associated with our securitization transactions were as follows:  (dollars in thousands)Successor

No additional support to these VIEs beyond what was previously contractually required has been provided by us. Consolidated interest expense related to these VIEs for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 totaled $18.3 million and $42.8 million, respectively.   UNCONSOLIDATED VIE  We have established a VIE, primarily related to a debt issuance, of which we are not the primary beneficiary, and in which we do not have a variable interest. Therefore, we do not consolidate such entity. We calculate our maximum exposure to loss primarily to be the amount of debt issued to or equity invested in a VIE. Our on-balance sheet maximum exposure to loss associated with this unconsolidated VIE was $171.5 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. We had no off-balance sheet exposure to loss associated with this VIE at March 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010.   Note 10.  Derivative Financial Instruments  Our principal borrowing subsidiary is SLFC. SLFC uses derivative financial instruments in managing the cost of its debt by mitigating its exposures (interest rate and currency) in conjunction with specific long-term debt issuances and has used them in managing its return on finance receivables held for sale, but is neither a dealer nor a trader in derivative financial instruments. SLFCs derivative financial instruments consist of interest rate, cross currency, cross currency interest rate, and equity-indexed swap agreements.  24     While all of our interest rate, cross currency, cross currency interest rate, 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 March 31, 2011, equity-indexed debt and related swaps were immaterial.  In the first quarter of 2010, we re-examined our accounting for a second quarter 2009 de-designated trade and determined that our method for amortizing the debt basis adjustments related to hedge accounting for this second quarter 2009 de-designated trade contained two errors. The debt basis adjustment to be amortized incorrectly included an accounting adjustment on the hedged debt. Secondly, the amortization method did not take into account all cash flows on the debt when calculating the effective yield amortization. In addition, we did not record the foreign exchange translation on the unamortized debt basis. As a result of these errors, we recorded an out-of-period adjustment in the first quarter of 2010, which reduced other revenues by $8.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010. The impact of this error did not have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations for previously reported periods.

We included all components of each derivatives gain or loss in the assessment of hedge effectiveness.  At March 31, 2011, we expect $9.6 million of the deferred net loss on cash flow hedges to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings during the next twelve months.  For the three months ended March 31, 2011, there were no instances in which we reclassified amounts from accumulated other comprehensive income or loss to earnings as a result of a discontinuance of a cash flow hedge due to it becoming probable that the original forecasted transaction would not occur at the end of the originally specified time period.

We included all components of each derivatives gain or loss in the assessment of hedge effectiveness.  SLFC is exposed to credit risk if counterparties to swap agreements do not perform. SLFC regularly monitors counterparty credit ratings throughout the term of the agreements. SLFCs exposure to market risk is limited to changes in the value of swap agreements offset by changes in the value of the hedged debt. In compliance with the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements, our valuation methodology for derivatives incorporates the effect of our non-performance risk and the non-performance risk of our counterparties.

Income Taxes  Benefit from income taxes decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the same period in 2010 as a result of the FCFI Transaction and the resulting changes in the book and tax basis of our assets and liabilities. The Company was in a net deferred tax liability position at March 31, 2011, and based on the timing and reversal of the deferred tax liabilities, we have concluded that a valuation allowance was required on our United Kingdom operations of $1.7 million, but no valuation allowance was required on our remaining gross deferred tax assets.  Before the FCFI Transaction, the Company was in a net deferred tax asset position and, excluding the foreign operations, the assets were subject to a full valuation allowance.  Benefit from income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2010 reflected AIGs projection that it would have sufficient taxable income in 2010 to utilize our 2010 estimated tax losses. As a result, we had classified $55.2 million of our 2010 losses as a current tax receivable. In connection with the closing of the FCFI Transaction on November 30, 2010, AIG and SLFI amended their tax sharing agreement, which terminated on the closing, (1) to provide that the parties payment obligations under the tax sharing agreement were limited to the payments required to be made by AIG to SLFI with respect to the 2009 taxable year, and (2) to include the terms of the promissory note to be issued by AIG in satisfaction of its 2009 taxable year payment obligation to SLFI. At December 31, 2010, note receivable from AIG relating to the 2009 taxable year totaled $470.2 million. On March 24, 2011, SLFI sold its $468.7 million note receivable from AIG at a net price after transaction fees of $469.8 million. Due to the amendment of the tax sharing agreement, SLFI did not receive the payment for the tax period ending November 30, 2010. As a result, we recorded a dividend to AIG for the amount of the income tax receivable at the closing of the FCFI Transaction.   Note 13.

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.  28     In our branch business segment, we:  · originate secured and unsecured non-real estate loans; · 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; · 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 · purchased private label finance receivables originated by AIG Bank under a participation agreement which we terminated on September 30, 2010.  To supplement our lending and retail sales financing activities, we have historically purchased 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.  In our centralized real estate business segment, we originated or acquired, as well as serviced, a portfolio of residential real estate loans unrelated to our branch business.  Effective February 1, 2011, Nationstar began subservicing the centralized real estate loans of MorEquity and two other subsidiaries of SLFC. In addition, Nationstar began subservicing certain real estate loans that MorEquity had been servicing in conjunction with the 2006 and 2010 securitization of these real estate loans.  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.  The following table presents information about our segments as well as reconciliations to our condensed consolidated financial statement amounts.

The Adjustments column includes realized gains (losses) on investment securities and commercial mortgage loans.  The push down accounting adjustments include the accretion or amortization of the valuation adjustments on the applicable revalued assets and liabilities resulting from the FCFI Transaction.   Note 15.  Benefit Plans  On January 1, 2011, as a requirement of the FCFI Transaction, we established a defined benefit retirement plan (the Retirement Plan) in which most of our employees are eligible to participate. The Retirement Plan is based on substantially the same terms as the AIG plan it replaced. The Companys employees in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands participate in a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by CommoLoCo, Inc. The disclosures related to this plan are immaterial to the financial statements of the Company.  Between the closing of the FCFI Transaction and January 1, 2011, we continued to participate in various benefit plans sponsored by AIG in accordance with the terms of the FCFI Transaction. These plans included a noncontributory qualified defined benefit retirement plan, post retirement health and welfare and life insurance plans, various stock option, incentive and purchase plans, and a 401(k) plan.  The following table presents the components of net periodic benefit cost with respect to our defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans:  (dollars in thousands)PensionPostretirementSuccessor Company

These estimates are subject to change, since contribution decisions are affected by various factors including our liquidity, asset dispositions, market performance, and managements discretion.  30     Note 16.  Fair Value Measurements  The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received if an asset were to be sold or the amount that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The degree of judgment used in measuring the fair value of financial instruments generally correlates with the level of pricing observability. Financial instruments with quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and less judgment is used in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial instruments traded in other-than-active markets or that do not have quoted prices have less observability and are measured at fair value using valuation models or other pricing techniques that require more judgment. An other-than-active market is one in which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers, or little information is released publicly for the asset or liability being valued. Pricing observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is listed on an exchange or traded over-the-counter or is new to the market and not yet established, the characteristics specific to the transaction, and general market conditions.  Management is responsible for the determination of the value of the financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value and the supporting methodologies and assumptions. Third-party valuation service providers are employed to gather, analyze, and interpret market information and derive fair values based upon relevant methodologies and assumptions for individual instruments. When the valuation service providers are unable to obtain sufficient market observable information upon which to estimate the fair value for a particular security, fair value is determined either by requesting brokers who are knowledgeable about these securities to provide a quote, which is generally non-binding, or by employing widely accepted internal valuation models.  Valuation service providers typically obtain data about market transactions and other key valuation model inputs from multiple sources and, through the use of widely accepted internal valuation models, provide a single fair value measurement for individual securities for which a fair value has been requested. The inputs used by the valuation service providers include, but are not limited to, market prices from recently completed transactions and transactions of comparable securities, interest rate yield curves, credit spreads, currency rates, and other market-observable information as of the measurement date as well as the specific attributes of the security being valued, including its term, interest rate, credit rating, industry sector, and other issue or issuer-specific information. When market transactions or other market observable data is limited, the extent to which judgment is applied in determining fair value is greatly increased. We assess the reasonableness of individual security values received from valuation service providers through various analytical techniques. In addition, we may validate the reasonableness of fair values by comparing information obtained from the valuation service providers to other third-party valuation sources for selected securities. We also validate prices for selected securities obtained from brokers through reviews by members of management who have relevant expertise and who are independent of those charged with executing investing transactions.  On November 30, 2010, FCFI indirectly acquired an 80% economic interest in SLFI from ACC. AIG, through ACC, indirectly retained a 20% economic interest in SLFI. Because of the nature of the FCFI Transaction, the significance of the ownership interest acquired, and at the direction of our acquirer, we applied push-down accounting to SLFI and SLFC as the acquired businesses. We revalued our assets and liabilities based on their fair values at the date of the FCFI Transaction in accordance with business combination accounting standards.  31     FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY  We measure and classify assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets in a hierarchy for disclosure purposes consisting of three Levels based on the observability of inputs available in the market place used to measure the fair values. In general, we determine the fair value measurements classified as Level 1 based on inputs utilizing quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. We generally obtain market price data from exchange or dealer markets. We do not adjust the quoted price for such instruments.  We determine the fair value measurements classified as Level 2 based on inputs utilizing other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.  Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.  In certain cases, the inputs we use to measure the fair value of an asset may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, we determine the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.   Fair Value Measurements  Recurring Basis  The following table presents information about our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy based on the levels of inputs we utilized to determine such fair value:  32      (dollars in thousands)Fair Value Measurements UsingTotal CarriedLevel 1Level 2Level 3At Fair ValueSuccessor Company

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we transferred into Level 3 approximately $4.1 million of assets, consisting of certain CMBS. Transfers into Level 3 for investments in CMBS are primarily due to a decrease in market transparency and downward credit migration of these securities.  During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we transferred approximately $10.5 million of assets out of Level 3, consisting of certain private placement corporate debt. Transfers out of Level 3 for private placement corporate debt are primarily the result of using observable pricing information or a third-party pricing quote that appropriately reflects the fair value of those securities, without the need for adjustment based on our own assumptions regarding the characteristics of a specific security or the current liquidity in the market.  There were no unrealized gains or losses recognized in earnings on instruments held at March 31, 2011 or 2010.  We used observable and/or unobservable inputs to determine the fair value of positions that we have classified within the Level 3 category. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for assets and liabilities within the Level 3 category presented in the Level 3 tables above may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs.   Fair Value Measurements  Non-recurring Basis  We measure the fair value of certain assets on a non-recurring basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.  35     Impairment charges recorded on assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis were as follows:  (dollars in thousands)Successor

Unused customer credit limits----   FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS  VALUATION METHODOLOGIES AND ASSUMPTIONS  We used the following methods and assumptions to estimate fair value.   Finance Receivables  The fair value of net finance receivables, less allowance for finance receivable losses, both non-impaired and credit impaired, were determined using discounted cash flow methodologies. The application of these methodologies required us to make certain judgments and estimates based on our perception of market participant views related to the economic and competitive environment, the characteristics of our finance receivables, and other similar factors. The most significant judgments and estimates made relate to prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severity, and discount rates. The degree of judgment and estimation applied was significant in light of the current capital markets and, more broadly, economic environments. Therefore, the fair value of our finance receivables could not be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale. Additionally, there may be inherent weaknesses in the valuation methodologies we employed, and changes in the underlying assumptions used could significantly affect the results of current or future values.  37     Real Estate Owned  We initially based our estimate of the fair value on third-party appraisals at the time we took title to real estate owned. Subsequent changes in fair value are based upon managements judgment of national and local economic conditions to estimate a price that would be received in a then current transaction to sell the asset.   Investment Securities  To measure the fair value of investment securities (which consist primarily of bonds), we maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. Whenever available, we obtained quoted prices in active markets for identical assets at the balance sheet date to measure investment securities at fair value. We generally obtained market price data from exchange or dealer markets.  We estimated the fair value of fixed maturity investment securities not traded in active markets by referring to traded securities with similar attributes, using dealer quotations and a matrix pricing methodology, or discounted cash flow analyses. This methodology considers such factors as the issuers industry, the securitys rating and tenor, its coupon rate, its position in the capital structure of the issuer, yield curves, credit curves, prepayment rates and other relevant factors. For fixed maturity investment securities that are not traded in active markets or that are subject to transfer restrictions, we adjusted the valuations to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability. Such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, managements best estimate is used.  We initially estimated the fair value of equity instruments not traded in active markets by reference to the transaction price. We adjusted this valuation only when changes to inputs and assumptions were corroborated by evidence such as transactions in similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable entities, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalizations, and other transactions across the capital structure, offerings in the equity capital markets, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. For equity securities that are not traded in active markets or that are subject to transfer restrictions, we adjusted the valuations to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability. Such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, managements best estimate is used.   Cash and Cash Equivalents  We estimated the fair value of cash and cash equivalents using quoted prices where available and industry standard valuation models using market-based inputs when quoted prices were unavailable.   Short-term Investments  We estimated the fair value of short-term investments using quoted prices where available and industry standard valuation models using market-based inputs when quoted prices were unavailable.   Derivatives  Our derivatives are not traded on an exchange. The valuation model used to calculate fair value of our derivative instruments includes a variety of observable inputs, including contractual terms, interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, yield curves, credit curves, measure of volatility, and correlations of such inputs. Valuation adjustments may be made in the determination of fair value. These adjustments include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and liquidity risk, as well as credit and market valuation adjustments. The credit valuation adjustment adjusts the valuation of derivatives to account for  38     nonperformance risk of our counter-party with respect to all net derivative assets positions. The credit valuation adjustment also accounts for our own credit risk in the fair value measurement of all net derivative liabilities positions, when appropriate. The market valuation adjustment adjusts the valuation of derivatives to reflect the fact that we are an end-user of derivative products. As such, the valuation is adjusted to take into account the bid-offer spread (the liquidity risk), as we are not a dealer of derivative products.   Long-term Debt  Where market-observable prices are not available, we estimated the fair values of long-term debt using projected cash flows discounted at each balance sheet dates market-observable implicit-credit spread rates for our long-term debt and adjusted for foreign currency translations.   Unused Customer Credit Limits  The unused credit limits available to our customers have no fair value. The interest rates charged on our loan and retail revolving lines of credit are adjustable and reprice frequently. These amounts, in part or in total, can be cancelled at our discretion.  39     Note 17.  Risks and Uncertainties  In assessing our current financial position and developing operating plans for the future, management has made significant judgments and estimates with respect to the potential financial and liquidity effects of our risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to:  · the amount of cash expected to be received from our finance receivable portfolio through collections (including prepayments) and receipt of finance charges, which could be materially different than our estimates; · the potential for declining financial flexibility and reduced income should we use more of our assets for securitizations and portfolio sales; · reduced income due to the possible deterioration of the credit quality of our finance receivable portfolios; · our ability to complete on favorable terms, as needed, additional borrowings, securitizations, portfolio sales, or other transactions to support liquidity, and the costs associated with these funding sources, including sales at less than carrying value and limits on the types of assets that can be securitized or sold, which would affect profitability; · risks that would be assumed for a recently established real estate investment trust (REIT) subsidiary which we expect to manage and which we expect to own a significant portion of our finance receivable portfolio; · our ability to comply with our debt covenants; · our access to debt markets and other sources of funding on favorable terms; · potential costs for our United Kingdom subsidiaries resulting from the retroactive imposition of guidelines issued in August 2010 by the United Kingdom Financial Services Authority for sales of payment protection insurance that occurred after January 1, 2005, including possible refunds to customers; · the potential for increased costs related to our foreclosure practices and procedures as a result of heightened nationwide regulatory scrutiny of foreclosure practices in the industry generally; · potential liability relating to real estate loans which we have sold or securitized if it is determined that there was a breach of a warranty made in connection with the transaction; · the potential for additional unforeseen cash demands or accelerations of obligations; · reduced income due to loan modifications where the borrowers interest rate is reduced, principal payments are deferred, or other concessions are made; · the potential for declines in bond and equity markets; · the potential effect on us if the capital levels of our regulated and unregulated subsidiaries prove inadequate to support current business plans; · the potential loss of key personnel; and · the undetermined effects of the FCFI Transaction, including the availability of support from our new owner and the effect of any changes to our operations, capitalization, and business strategies.  We have assumed that there will be no support required from FCFI and no material change in our recent liquidity sources and capitalization management beyond the refinancing of the secured term loan facility discussed in Note 20. We intend to support our liquidity position by managing originations and purchases of finance receivables and maintaining disciplined underwriting standards and pricing on such loans. We intend to support operations and repay obligations with one or more of the following: finance receivable collections from operations, securitizations, additional term loans, potential unsecured debt offerings, potential REIT stock offering proceeds, and portfolio sales.  Based on our estimates and taking into account the risks and uncertainties of such plans, we believe that we will have adequate liquidity to finance and operate our businesses and repay our obligations as they become due for at least the next twelve months.  40     It is possible that the actual outcome of one or more of our plans could be materially different than expected or that one or more of our significant judgments or estimates about the potential effects of these risks and uncertainties could prove to be materially incorrect.   Note 18.  Legal Settlements  In March 2010, WFI and AIG Bank settled a civil lawsuit brought by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) for alleged violations of the Fair Housing Act and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. The DOJ alleged that WFI and AIG Bank allowed independent wholesale mortgage loan brokers to charge certain minority borrowers higher broker fees than were charged to certain other borrowers between 2003 and 2006. WFI and AIG Bank denied any legal violation, and maintained that at all times they conducted their lending and other activities in compliance with fair-lending and other laws. As part of the settlement, WFI and AIG Bank agreed to provide $6.1 million for borrower remediation. In March 2010, we paid $6.1 million into an escrow account pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement with the DOJ. Upon completion of the remediation, all remaining funds will be distributed for consumer education purposes. In the event that the remaining funds do not total at least $1 million, AIG Bank and WFI have agreed to replenish the fund up to $1 million for distribution for educational purposes. In addition, AIG Bank and WFI will incur certain costs associated with administering the settlement. WFI is obligated to indemnify AIG Bank for all amounts that AIG Bank is required to pay pursuant to the terms of the DOJ settlement.  In June 2010, MorEquity settled certain claims relating to the sale of mortgage loans by MorEquity. The opposing parties alleged that they had a binding contract to purchase such loans in 2008, while MorEquity claimed that no such contract existed. On June 17, 2010, MorEquity paid $12.5 million to resolve the dispute.   Note 19.  Legal Contingencies  SLFI and certain of its subsidiaries are parties to various legal proceedings, including certain purported class action claims such as the one described below, 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.  King v. American General Finance, Inc., Case No. 96-CP-38-595 in the Court of Common Pleas for Orangeburg County, South Carolina. In this lawsuit, filed in 1996, Plaintiffs assert class action claims against our South Carolina operating entity for alleged violations of S.C. Code § 37-10-102(a), which requires, inter alia, a lender making a mortgage loan to ascertain the preference of the borrower as to an attorney who will represent the borrower in closing the loan. The Plaintiffs and SLFI have filed various motions, which remain pending. The case has been reassigned to a new judge, who will hear and rule on the motions, including Plaintiffs motion for summary judgment. SLFI has filed additional motions to be heard by the new judge. Based on Plaintiffs allegations, if the case proceeds as a class action and if the court should find liability, the size of the class will range from about 5,000 to 9,000 members depending upon the final class definition. The statute provides for a penalty range of $1,500 to $7,500 per class member, to be determined by the judge. SLFI is defending the case vigorously.  41     Note 20.  Subsequent Event  Refinancing of Secured Term Loan Facility  As disclosed in SLFIs Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 6, 2011, SLFC successfully refinanced Springleaf Financial Funding Companys existing $3.0 billion secured term loan facility (the Refinancing Facility) on May 10, 2011. The Refinancing Facility increased total borrowings of the term loan to $3.75 billion, extended the maturity by two years until May 2017, lowered borrowing costs, and reduced collateral requirements. The borrower under the Refinancing Facility is Springleaf Financial Funding Company. The Refinancing Facility is guaranteed by SLFC and certain of its operating subsidiaries and secured to the extent permitted under SLFCs existing debt agreements.  42     Item 2.  Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.   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:  · our continued ability to access the capital markets or the sufficiency of our current sources of funds to satisfy our cash flow requirements; · changes in the rate at which we can collect or potentially sell our finance receivable portfolio; · the impacts of our securitizations and borrowings; · risks that would be assumed for a recently established REIT subsidiary which we expect to manage and which we expect to own a significant portion of our finance receivable portfolio; · our ability to comply with our debt covenants; · changes in general economic conditions, including the interest rate environment in which we conduct business and the financial markets through which we can access capital and also 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, delinquencies, or credit losses; · shifts in residential real estate values; · levels of unemployment and personal bankruptcies; · potential costs for our United Kingdom subsidiaries resulting from the retroactive imposition of guidelines issued in August 2010 by the United Kingdom Financial Services Authority for sales of payment protection insurance that occurred after January 1, 2005, including possible refunds to customers; · the potential for increased costs related to our foreclosure practices and procedures as a result of heightened nationwide regulatory scrutiny of foreclosure practices in the industry generally; · potential liability relating to real estate loans which we have sold or securitized if it is determined that there was a breach of a warranty made in connection with the transaction; · changes in laws, regulations, or regulatory policies and practices, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, 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 effects of participation in the HAMP by subservicers of our loans; · the costs and effects of any litigation or governmental inquiries or investigations involving us, particularly those that are determined adversely to us; · 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; · the undetermined effects of the FCFI Transaction, including the availability of support from our new owner and the effect of any changes to our operations, capitalization, and business strategies;  43     · our ability to maintain sufficient capital levels in our regulated and unregulated subsidiaries; · 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, collateral, or 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 Risk Factors in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in other documents we file with the SEC (including Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010). 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.     FCFI TRANSACTION  On November 30, 2010, FCFI indirectly acquired an 80% economic interest in SLFI from ACC. AIG, through ACC, indirectly retained a 20% economic interest in SLFI.   CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY  Capital Resources  Our capital has varied primarily with the amount of our net finance receivables. We have historically based our mix of debt and equity, or leverage, primarily upon maintaining leverage that supports cost-effective funding.  (dollars in millions)Successor

Until September 2008, SLFC obtained our fixed-rate funding by issuing public or private long-term unsecured debt with maturities primarily ranging from three to ten years, and SLFC and SLFI obtained most of our floating-rate funding by issuing and refinancing commercial paper and by issuing long-term, floating-rate unsecured debt. Since that time we have arranged for a five-year term loan in April 2010 and completed on-balance sheet securitizations in March 2010 and July 2009.  44     In April 2010, Springleaf Financial Funding Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of SLFC, entered into and fully drew down a $3.0 billion, five-year term loan pursuant to a Credit Agreement among Springleaf Financial Funding Company, SLFC, and most of the consumer finance operating subsidiaries of SLFC (collectively, the Subsidiary Guarantors), and a syndicate of lenders, various agents, and Bank of America, N.A, as administrative agent. Any portion of the term loan that is repaid (whether at or prior to maturity) will permanently reduce the principal amount outstanding and may not be reborrowed.  The term loan is guaranteed by SLFC and by the Subsidiary Guarantors. In addition, other SLFC operating subsidiaries that from time to time meet certain criteria will be required to become Subsidiary Guarantors. The term loan is secured by a first priority pledge of the stock of Springleaf Financial Funding Company that was limited at the transaction date, in accordance with existing SLFC debt agreements, to approximately 10% of SLFCs consolidated net worth.  Springleaf Financial Funding Company used the proceeds from the term loan to make intercompany loans to the Subsidiary Guarantors. The intercompany loans are secured by a first priority security interest in eligible loan receivables, according to pre-determined eligibility requirements and in accordance with a borrowing base formula. The Subsidiary Guarantors used proceeds of the loans to pay down their intercompany loans from SLFC. SLFC used the payments from Subsidiary Guarantors to, among other things, repay debt and fund operations. In May 2011, SLFC refinanced this term loan. See Liquidity for further information.  Certain debt agreements of the Company contain terms that could result in acceleration of payments. Under certain circumstances, an event of default or declaration of acceleration under the borrowing agreements of the Company could also result in an event of default and declaration of acceleration under other borrowing agreements of the Company.  Based upon SLFCs financial results for the twelve months ended March 31, 2011, a mandatory trigger event occurred under SLFCs hybrid debt with respect to the hybrid debts semi-annual payment due in July 2011. The mandatory trigger event requires SLFC to defer interest payments to the junior subordinated debt holders (and not make dividend payments to SLFI) unless SLFC obtains non-debt capital funding in an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid interest on the hybrid debt otherwise payable on the next interest payment date and pays such amount to the junior subordinated debt holders. As of March 31, 2011, SLFC had not received the non-debt capital funding necessary to satisfy the July 2011 interest payments required by SLFCs hybrid debt.  Historically, we targeted our leverage to be a ratio of 9.0x of adjusted debt to adjusted tangible equity, where adjusted debt equals total debt less 75% of our junior subordinated debentures (hybrid debt) and where adjusted tangible equity equals total shareholders equity plus 75% of hybrid debt and less goodwill, other intangible assets, and accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Our method of measuring target leverage reflects SLFCs issuance of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 60-year junior subordinated debentures following our acquisition of Ocean in January 2007. The debentures underlie a series of trust preferred securities sold by a trust sponsored by SLFC in a Rule 144A/Regulation S offering. SLFC can redeem the debentures at par beginning in January 2017. Based upon the equity-like terms of these junior subordinated debentures, our leverage calculation treated the hybrid debt as 75% equity and 25% debt.  Due to the Companys and our former indirect parents liquidity positions, our primary capitalization efforts have been focused on improving liquidity and maintaining compliance with our existing debt agreements, and not on achieving a targeted leverage. Additionally, the application of push-down accounting significantly altered the presentation of many leverage calculation components and has thereby made our historical methods of leverage calculation less meaningful, particularly when compared to leverage measurements of the Predecessor Company. Our adjusted tangible leverage at March 31, 2011 was 8.99x compared to 9.03x at December 31, 2010, and 7.79x at March 31, 2010. In calculating March 31, 2011 leverage, management deducted $1.6 billion of cash equivalents from adjusted debt, resulting in an effective adjusted tangible leverage of 8.03x. In calculating December 31, 2010 leverage, management  45     deducted $1.2 billion of cash equivalents from adjusted debt, resulting in an effective adjusted tangible leverage of 8.34x. In calculating March 31, 2010 leverage, management deducted $704.6 million of cash equivalents from adjusted debt, resulting in an effective adjusted tangible leverage of 7.46x.

Due to the extraordinary events in the credit markets since 2008, AIGs liquidity issues, and our reduced liquidity, we borrowed all available commitments under our primary credit facilities during September 2008, including our 364-day facility ($2.050 billion drawn by SLFC and $400.0 million drawn by SLFI) and the SLFC $2.125 billion multi-year facility. On July 9, 2009, we converted the outstanding amounts under our expiring 364-day facility into one-year term loans that would mature on July 9, 2010. On March 25, 2010, SLFC and SLFI each repaid all of their respective outstanding obligations under their one-year term loans ($2.050 billion repaid by SLFC and $400.0 million repaid by SLFI). With these repayments, the related contractual support agreement between SLFC and AIG was terminated. At March 31, 2010, SLFCs outstanding borrowings under the multi-year facility totaled $2.125 billion. On April 26, 2010, SLFC repaid its outstanding borrowings under the multi-year facility. With this repayment, the borrowing commitments under the multi-year facility were terminated.  SLFI and certain of its subsidiaries also had uncommitted credit facilities of $195.0 million at March 31, 2011 and 2010. Portions of these uncommitted facilities could be increased depending upon lender ability to participate its loans under these facilities. There were no amounts outstanding under the uncommitted credit facilities at March 31, 2011 or 2010.  SLFC does not guarantee any borrowings of SLFI.  46     Liquidity  Our sources of funds have included cash flows from operations, issuances of long-term debt, borrowings from banks under credit facilities, sales of finance receivables, and securitizations. On May 10, 2011, SLFC successfully refinanced its $3.0 billion secured term loan with an additional $750.0 million of borrowings, a two-year maturity extension to May 2017, lower borrowing costs, and reduced collateral requirements. Subject to insurance regulations, we also have received dividends from our insurance subsidiaries. On May 12, 2011, SLFC received $45.0 million of dividends from its insurance subsidiaries.  We anticipate that our near-term primary sources of funds to support operations and repay obligations will be finance receivable collections from operations, cash on hand, and, as needed and available, additional borrowings, securitizations, potential REIT stock offering proceeds, or portfolio sales.  The principal factors that could decrease our liquidity are customer non-payment, a decline in customer prepayments, and a prolonged inability to adequately access capital market funding. We intend to support our liquidity position by operating the Company utilizing the following strategies:  · managing originations and purchases of finance receivables and maintainingdisciplined underwriting standards and pricing for such loans; and · as needed, pursuing additional borrowings, securitizations, or portfolio sales.  However, it is possible that the actual outcome of one or more of our plans could be materially different than expected or that one or more of our significant judgments or estimates could prove to be materially incorrect.

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 creditworthiness of the borrower and his or her finance receivable. Our finance receivable underwriting process does not use third-party credit scores as a primary determinant for credit decisions. However, we do, in part, use such scores to analyze performance of our finance receivable portfolio and for informational purposes we present below our net finance receivables and delinquency ratios grouped into the following categories based solely on borrower FICO credit scores at the date of 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 in the table 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.  50     FICO-delineated prime, non-prime, and sub-prime categories for net finance receivables by portfolio segment and by class were as follows:  (dollars in millions)Successor

Certain types of our real estate loans, such as interest only real estate loans, sub-prime real estate loans, second mortgages, high loan-to-value (LTV) ratio mortgages, and low documentation real estate loans, can have a greater risk of non-collection than our other real estate loans. Interest only real estate loans contain an initial period where the scheduled monthly payment amount is equal to the interest charged on the loan. The payment amount resets upon the expiration of this period to an amount sufficient to amortize the balance over the remaining term of the loan. Sub-prime real estate loans are loans originated to a borrower with a FICO score at the date of origination or renewal of less than or equal to 619. Second mortgages are secured by a mortgage the rights of which are subordinate to those of a first mortgage. High LTV ratio mortgages have an original amount equal to or greater than 95.5% of the value of the collateral property at the time the loan was originated. Low documentation real estate loans are loans to a borrower that meets certain criteria which gives the borrower the option to supply less than the normal amount of supporting documentation for income.  52     Additional information regarding these higher-risk real estate loans for our branch and centralized real estate business segments follows (our higher-risk real estate loans can be included in more than one of the types of higher-risk real estate loans):  (dollars in millions)DelinquencyAverageAverageAmountRatioLTVFICOSuccessor Company

2010Investment securities$722.2$745.8Commercial mortgage loans127.4128.4Policy loans1.61.5Total$851.2$875.7   Investment securities are the majority of our insurance business segments investment portfolio. Our investment strategy is to optimize after-tax returns on invested assets, subject to the constraints of liquidity, diversification, and regulation. See Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on investment securities.   Asset/Liability Management  To reduce the risk associated with unfavorable changes in interest rates on our debt 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 have funded finance receivables with a combination of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt and equity. We have based the mix of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt issuances, in part, on the nature of the finance receivables being supported.  56     We have historically issued fixed-rate, long-term unsecured debt as the primary source of fixed-rate debt and have also employed interest rate swap agreements to adjust our fixed/floating mix of total debt. Including the impact of interest rate swap agreements that effectively fix floating-rate debt or float fixed-rate debt, our floating-rate debt represented 23% of our borrowings at March 31, 2011, compared to 16% at March 31, 2010. Adjustable-rate net finance receivables represented 5% of our total portfolio at March 31, 2011 and 2010.  For the past several quarters, we have had limited direct control of our asset/liability mix as a result of our limited access to capital markets, our significantly restricted origination of finance receivables, and our sale or securitization of finance receivables.

Earnings were inadequate to cover total fixed charges by $83.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and $44.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010.   During 2009, the U.S. residential real estate and credit markets experienced significant disruption as housing prices generally declined, unemployment increased, consumer delinquencies increased, and credit availability contracted and became more expensive for consumers and financial institutions. Many of these 2009 trends carried over into 2010 and 2011. These market disruptions negatively impacted our results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.  Decreased property values that accompany a market downturn can reduce a borrowers willingness to repay and their 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 on real estate loans could cause losses to us, could lead to increased claims relating to non-prime or sub-prime mortgage origination practices, and could encourage increased or changing regulation. Any increased or changing regulation could limit the availability of, or require changes in, the terms of certain real estate loan products and could also require us to devote additional resources to comply with that regulation.  Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to net income in the same period in 2010 reflected lower other revenues resulting from foreign exchange losses on foreign currency denominated debt, higher interest expense, and lower benefit from income taxes, partially offset by lower provision for finance receivable losses and higher finance charges. See Other Revenues, Interest Expense, Benefit from Income Taxes, Provision for Finance Receivable Losses, and Finance Charges for further information.

Other revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010 reflected foreign exchange gains on foreign currency denominated debt and gains arising from derivative adjustments.Derivative adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2010 included an other comprehensive income release gain of $68.8 million on cash flow hedge maturities and a credit valuation adjustment gain of $9.1 million on our non-designated cross currency derivative. These gains were partially offset by a mark to market loss of $34.3 million on our non-designated cross currency derivative and ineffectiveness losses of $7.2 million on our cash flow derivatives. The credit valuation adjustment gains on our non-designated cross currency derivative for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 resulted from the measurement of credit risk using credit default swap valuation modeling. If we do not exit these derivatives prior to maturity, the credit valuation adjustment will result in no impact to earnings over the life of the agreements. We currently do not anticipate exiting these derivatives for the foreseeable future.

Our future overall interest expense rates could be materially higher, but actual future interest expense rates will depend on our funding sources utilized, general interest rate levels and market credit spreads, which are influenced by our asset credit quality, our credit ratings, and the market perception of credit risk for the Company.  The credit ratings of SLFI and SLFC are all non-investment grade and therefore have a significant impact on our cost of and access to borrowed funds. This, in turn, affects our liquidity management.

These credit ratings may be changed, suspended, or withdrawn at any time by the rating agencies as a result of changes in, or unavailability of, information or based on other circumstances.

Charge-off coverage, which compares the allowance for finance receivable losses to net charge-offs (annualized), decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to the impact of push-down accounting adjustments, which decreased charge-off coverage by 310 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

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 decrease in the allowance for finance receivable losses at March 31, 2011 when compared to March 31, 2010 was primarily due to the impact of push-down accounting adjustments, which resulted in reducing the allowance for finance receivables losses to zero at November 30, 2010. We also decreased our allowance for finance receivable losses through the provision for finance receivable losses during the second, third and fourth quarters of 2010 in response to our lower delinquency and net charge-offs in 2010. The allowance for finance receivable losses at March 31, 2011 also included $12.4 million related to TDRs, compared to $362.2 million at March 31, 2010. See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 for further information on our TDRs.  The decrease in the allowance ratio at March 31, 2011 when compared to March 31, 2010 was primarily due to the impact of push-down accounting adjustments, which reduced the allowance ratio by 806 basis points at March 31, 2011.

Benefit from income taxes decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the same period in 2010 as a result of the FCFI Transaction and the resulting changes in the book and tax basis of our assets and liabilities.  At March 31, 2011, we recorded a valuation allowance of $1.7 million for our foreign United Kingdom operations to reduce net deferred tax assets to amounts we considered more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50 percent) to be realized. No valuation allowance was required on our remaining gross deferred tax assets. At March 31, 2011, we had a net deferred tax liability of $437.0 million.  Before the FCFI Transaction, the Company was in a net deferred tax asset position and, excluding the foreign operations, the assets were subject to a full valuation allowance.  Benefit from income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2010 reflected AIGs projection that it would have sufficient taxable income in 2010 to utilize our 2010 estimated tax losses. As a result, we had classified $55.2 million of our 2010 losses as a current tax receivable. In connection with the closing of the FCFI Transaction, AIG and SLFI amended their tax sharing agreement, which terminated on the closing, (1) to provide that the parties payment obligations under the tax sharing agreement were limited to the payments required to be made by AIG to SLFI with respect to the 2009 taxable year, and (2) to include the terms of the promissory note to be issued by AIG in satisfaction of its 2009 taxable year payment obligation to SLFI. Due to the amendment of the tax sharing agreement, SLFI did not receive the payment for the tax period ending November 30, 2010. As a result, we recorded a dividend to AIG for the amount of the income tax receivable at the closing of the FCFI Transaction.  The lower effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the same period in 2010 reflected the impact of the prior year valuation allowance.  67     Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.   There have been no significant changes to our market risk since December 31, 2010.    Item 4.  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 its Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  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 year 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 March 31, 2011, 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 March 31, 2011 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 19 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  68     Item 1A. Risk Factors   In addition to the risk factors included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, we are updating the following risk factors:  The assessment of our liquidity is based upon significant judgments or estimates that could prove to be materially incorrect.  In assessing our current financial position and developing operating plans for the future, management has made significant judgments and estimates with respect to the potential financial and liquidity effects of our risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to:  · the amount of cash expected to be received from our finance receivable portfolio through collections (including prepayments) and receipt of finance charges, which could be materially different than our estimates; · the potential for declining financial flexibility and reduced income should we use more of our assets for securitizations and portfolio sales; · reduced income due to the possible deterioration of the credit quality of our finance receivable portfolios; · our ability to complete on favorable terms, as needed, additional borrowings, securitizations, portfolio sales, or other transactions to support liquidity, and the costs associated with these funding sources, including sales at less than carrying value and limits on the types of assets that can be securitized or sold, which would affect profitability; · risks that would be assumed for a recently established REIT subsidiary which we expect to manage and which we expect to own a significant portion of our finance receivable portfolio; · our ability to comply with our debt covenants; · our access to debt markets and other sources of funding on favorable terms; · potential costs for our United Kingdom subsidiaries resulting from the retroactive imposition of guidelines issued in August 2010 by the United Kingdom Financial Services Authority for sales of payment protection insurance that occurred after January 1, 2005, including possible refunds to customers; · the potential for increased costs related to our foreclosure practices and procedures as a result of heightened nationwide regulatory scrutiny of foreclosure practices in the industry generally; · potential liability relating to real estate loans which we have sold or securitized if it is determined that there was a breach of a warranty made in connection with the transaction; · the potential for additional unforeseen cash demands or accelerations of obligations; · reduced income due to loan modifications where the borrowers interest rate is reduced, principal payments are deferred, or other concessions are made; · the potential for declines in bond and equity markets; · the potential effect on us if the capital levels of our regulated and unregulated subsidiaries prove inadequate to support current business plans; · the potential loss of key personnel; and · the undetermined effects of the FCFI Transaction, including the availability of support from our new owner and the effect of any changes to our operations, capitalization, and business strategies.  We have assumed that there will be no support required from FCFI and no material change in our recent liquidity sources and capitalization management beyond the refinancing of the secured term loan facility discussed in Note 20 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We intend to support our liquidity position by managing originations and purchases of finance receivables and maintaining disciplined underwriting standards and pricing on such loans. We intend to support operations and repay obligations with one or more of the following: finance receivable collections from operations, securitizations, additional term loans, potential unsecured debt offerings, potential REIT stock offering proceeds, and portfolio sales.  69     Based on our estimates and taking into account the risks and uncertainties of such plans, we believe that we will have adequate liquidity to finance and operate our businesses and repay our obligations as they become due for at least the next twelve months.  It is possible that the actual outcome of one or more of our plans could be materially different than expected or that one or more of our significant judgments or estimates about the potential effects of these risks and uncertainties could prove to be materially incorrect.
