               AMERICAN GENERAL FINANCE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
            Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                               March 31, 2003



Note 1.  Principles of Consolidation

American General Finance, Inc. will be referred to as "AGFI" or
collectively with its subsidiaries, whether directly or indirectly
owned, as the "Company" or "we".  We prepared our condensed
consolidated financial statements using accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States for interim periods.  The statements
include the accounts of AGFI and its subsidiaries, all of which are
wholly owned.  We eliminated all intercompany items.  AGFI is an
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of American International Group, Inc.
(AIG).



Note 2.  Adjustments and Reclassifications

We made all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, that we considered necessary for a fair statement of the
Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.  These
statements should be read 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, 2002.

To conform to the 2003 presentation, we reclassified certain items in
the prior period.



Note 3.  Acquisition

Effective January 1, 2003, we acquired 100% of the common stock of
Wilmington Finance, Inc. (WFI), a majority owned subsidiary of WSFS
Financial Corporation, in a purchase business combination.  WFI
originates non-conforming residential real estate loans nationally,
primarily through broker relationships and, to a lesser extent,
directly to consumers, and sells its originated loans to third party
investors with servicing released to the purchaser.  WFI provides the
Company with another source of revenue through its gains on real estate
loan sales.  The purchase price was $120.8 million, consisting of $25.8
million for net assets and $95.0 million for intangibles.  The majority
of the tangible assets acquired were real estate loans held for sale.
We expect to finalize an independent valuation of the intangibles in
second quarter 2003, but we anticipate the majority to be goodwill,
which we will assign to our consumer finance business segment.  We
included the results of WFI's operations in our financial statements
beginning January 1, 2003, the effective date of the acquisition, and
classified the $95.0 million of intangibles as goodwill.

Note 4.  Accounting Change

In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure
Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others."  FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be
made by a guarantor in its financial statements about its obligations
under certain guarantees that it has issued.  It also clarifies that a
guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a
liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing
the guarantee.  Certain guarantee contracts are excluded from both the
disclosure and recognition requirements of FIN 45, including, among
others, residual value guarantees under capital lease arrangements and
loan commitments.  The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 were effective
as of December 31, 2002.  The recognition requirements of FIN 45 are to
be applied prospectively to guarantees issued or modified after
December 31, 2002.  The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material
impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position,
or liquidity.

Note 7.  Derivative Financial Instruments

Our principal borrowing subsidiary is American General Finance
Corporation (AGFC), a wholly owned subsidiary of AGFI.  AGFC uses
derivative financial instruments in managing the cost of its debt and
is neither a dealer nor a trader in derivative financial instruments.
AGFC has generally limited its use of derivative financial instruments
to interest rate swap agreements.  These interest rate swap agreements
are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges or fair value hedges.

AGFC uses interest rate swap agreements to limit our exposure to market
interest rate risk in the funding of our operations.  Most of our swaps
synthetically convert certain short-term or floating-rate debt to a
long-term fixed-rate.  The synthetic long-term fixed rates achieved
through interest rate swap agreements are slightly lower than could
have been achieved by issuing comparable fixed-rate, long-term debt.
Additionally, AGFC has swapped fixed-rate, long-term debt to floating-
rate, long-term debt.  As an alternative to funding without these
derivative financial instruments, AGFC's interest rate swap agreements
did not have a material effect on the Company's other revenues,
interest expense, or net income during the three months ended March 31,
2003 or 2002.



Note 8.  Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss were as follows:

Note 9.  Segment Information

We have two business segments: consumer finance and insurance.  Our
segments are defined by the type of financial service product offered.
The consumer finance segment makes home equity loans, originates
secured and unsecured consumer loans, extends lines of credit, and
purchases retail sales contracts from, and provides revolving retail
services for, retail merchants.  We also purchase private label
receivables originated by a non-subsidiary affiliate of ours, 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.  We also
originate real estate loans through brokers for sale to third party
investors.  We offer credit and non-credit insurance to our consumer
finance customers.  The insurance segment writes and assumes credit and
non-credit insurance through products that are offered principally by
the consumer finance segment.

The following tables display information about the Company's segments
as well as a reconciliation of total segment pretax income to the
condensed consolidated financial statement amounts.

Note 10.  Legal Contingencies

Satellite Dish Operations Bankruptcy

In August 1999, a subsidiary of the Company, A.G. Financial Service
Center, Inc. (Financial Service Center), formerly named American
General Financial Center, filed a voluntary petition to reorganize
under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code with the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Indiana.  The
decision to reorganize was necessitated by the judgment rendered
against Financial Service Center by a Mississippi state court in May
1999 in the amount of $167 million.  The filing for reorganization
under Chapter 11 was limited to Financial Service Center and was
intended to provide a fair and orderly process for managing the claims
against Financial Service Center.  Prior to the bankruptcy filing,
Financial Service Center had assets of approximately $7 million.

The plan of reorganization was confirmed by the bankruptcy court in
February 2001 and distribution under the plan is substantially
complete.  Certain creditors have appealed the confirmation of the
plan, but we do not expect their appeal to prevail.  We expect our
remaining recorded liability related to this matter to be sufficient to
cover the costs of the plan of reorganization.


Other

AGFI and certain of its subsidiaries are also parties to various other
lawsuits and proceedings, including certain class action claims,
arising in the ordinary course of business.  In addition, many of these
proceedings are pending in jurisdictions, such as Mississippi, 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 that will ultimately be
paid arising from these lawsuits and proceedings will not have a
material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or
financial position.  However, the frequency of large damage awards,
including large punitive damage awards that bear little or no relation
to actual economic damages incurred by plaintiffs in some
jurisdictions, continues to create the potential for an unpredictable
judgment in any given suit.

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
presentation of our condensed consolidated financial statements and all
other financial information presented in this report.  We prepared our
condensed consolidated financial statements using accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (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 internal control structure and procedures for financial
reporting.  These systems are designed to provide reasonable assurance
that assets are safeguarded from loss or unauthorized use, that
transactions are recorded according to 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.  We do not allow loans to executive officers.  The systems
include a documented organizational structure and policies and
procedures that we communicate throughout the Company. Our internal
auditors report directly to AIG to strengthen independence.  They
continually monitor the operation of our internal controls and report
their findings to the Company's management and AIG's internal audit
department.  We take prompt action to correct control deficiencies and
address opportunities for improving the system.  The Company's
management assesses the adequacy of our internal control structure
quarterly.  Based on these assessments, management has concluded that
the internal control structure and the procedures for financial
reporting 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.
<PAGE> 13

                      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, the Company's
strategy for growth, product development, regulatory approvals, market
position, financial results and reserves.  The Company's actual results
and financial condition may differ, possibly materially, from the
anticipated results and financial condition indicated in these forward-
looking statements.  The important factors, many of which are outside
of our control, which could cause the Company's 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 and the
        financial markets through which we access capital;
     *  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, credit
        losses and the level of personal bankruptcies;
     *  changes in laws or regulations 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;
     *  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 our acquisitions
        into our business;
     *  changes in our ability to attract and retain employees or key
        executives to support our businesses; and
     *  natural events and acts of God such as fires or floods
        affecting our branches or other operating facilities.

Readers are also directed to other risks and uncertainties discussed in
other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
We are under no obligation to (and expressly disclaim any such
obligation to) update or alter any forward-looking statement, whether
written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise.
<PAGE> 14

                     CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our Credit Strategy and Policy Committee evaluates our finance
receivable portfolio monthly.  The Credit Strategy and Policy Committee
exercises its judgment, based on each committee member's experience in
the consumer finance industry, when determining the amount of the
allowance for finance receivable losses.  If its 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 consumer finance business segment.  We document the
adequacy of the allowance for finance receivable losses and the
analysis of the trends in credit quality considered by the Credit
Strategy and Policy Committee to support its conclusions.


                    OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements as defined
by Securities and Exchange Commission rules.


                    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

Our sources of funds include operations, issuances of long-term debt,
short-term borrowings in the commercial paper market, and borrowings
from banks under credit facilities.  AGFI has also historically
received capital contributions from its parent to support finance
receivable growth and maintain targeted leverage.

Principal sources and uses of cash were as follows:

                                            Three Months Ended

<PAGE> 15

We believe that our overall sources of liquidity will continue to be
sufficient to satisfy our foreseeable operational requirements and
financial obligations.  The principal risk factors that could decrease
our sources of liquidity are delinquent payments from our customers 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 factors by continuing to operate the Company
within the following strategies:

     *  maintain a finance receivable portfolio comprised mostly of
        real estate loans, which generally represent a lower risk of
        customer non-payment;
     *  originate and monitor finance receivables with our proprietary
        credit risk management system;
     *  maintain an investment securities portfolio of predominantly
        investment grade, liquid securities; and
     *  maintain a capital structure appropriate to our asset base.

Consistent execution of our business strategies should result in
continued profitability, strong credit ratings, and investor
confidence.  These results should allow continued access to capital
markets for issuances of our commercial paper and long-term debt.  At
March 31, 2003, we had $4.0 billion of long-term debt securities
registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and available for issuance.
We also maintain committed bank credit facilities to provide an
additional source of liquidity for needs potentially not met through
capital markets.

Debt to tangible equity ratio       8.85x               8.87x


Our capital varies with the level of net finance receivables.  The
increase in total capital at March 31, 2003 when compared to March 31,
2002 was greater than our finance receivable growth for the same period
due to capital required to support the acquisition of WFI and its
operations.  The capital mix of debt and equity is based primarily upon
maintaining leverage that supports cost-effective funding.

We issue a combination of fixed-rate debt, principally long-term, and
floating-rate debt, principally short-term.  AGFC obtains our fixed-
rate funding through public issuances of long-term debt with maturities
generally ranging from three to ten years.  Most floating-rate funding
is through AGFI and AGFC sales and refinancing of commercial paper and
through AGFC issuance of long-term, floating-rate debt.  Commercial
<PAGE> 16

paper, with maturities ranging from 1 to 270 days, is sold to banks,
insurance companies, corporations, and other accredited investors.
AGFC also sells extendible commercial notes with initial maturities of
up to 90 days, which may be extended by AGFC to 390 days.  At March 31,
2003, short-term debt included $303.0 million of extendible commercial
notes.

AGFI has paid dividends to (or received capital contributions from) its
parent to manage our leverage of debt to tangible equity (equity less
goodwill and accumulated other comprehensive income) to 9.0 to 1.
AGFI's ability to pay dividends is substantially dependent on the
receipt of dividends or other funds from its subsidiaries, primarily
AGFC.  Certain AGFC financing agreements effectively limit the amount
of dividends AGFC may pay.  These agreements have not prevented AGFI
from managing its capital to targeted leverage.


Liquidity Facilities

We participate in credit facilities to support the issuance of
commercial paper and to provide an additional source of funds for
operating requirements.  At March 31, 2003, AGFC had committed credit
facilities totaling $3.0 billion, including a facility under which AGFI
is an eligible borrower for up to $300.0 million.  The annual
commitment fees for the facilities currently average 0.07% and are
based upon AGFC's long-term credit ratings.

At March 31, 2003, AGFI and certain of its subsidiaries also had
uncommitted credit facilities totaling $173.0 million which could be
increased depending upon lender ability to participate its loans under
the facilities.

Available borrowings under all facilities are reduced by any
outstanding borrowings.  At March 31, 2003, AGFI's outstanding
borrowings totaled $60.0 million.  There were no amounts outstanding at
March 31, 2002.  AGFC guarantees its subsidiary borrowings under
uncommitted credit facilities.  AGFC does not guarantee any borrowings
of AGFI.

In 2002, the low interest rate environment caused significant increases
in both originations and liquidations of our real estate loans.
However, we took advantage of the record real estate loan refinancings
that occurred in the market in general and acquired $1.9 billion of
real estate loan portfolios from third party originators during the
last half of 2002.

Yield decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2003 when compared
to the same period in 2002 primarily reflecting a lower real estate
loan yield resulting from the low interest rate environment.

Other revenues increased for the three months ended March 31, 2003 when
compared to the same period in 2002 primarily due to net gain on real
estate loan sales in 2003, partially offset by lower investment
revenue.  The increase in net gain on real estate loan sales was due to
the acquisition of WFI.

AGFC issued $3.4 billion of long-term debt during the last half of
2002.  The proceeds of these long-term debt issuances were used to
support finance receivable growth and to refinance maturing debt.

Borrowing cost by type and changes in borrowing cost in basis points
when compared to the same period for the previous year were as follows:

Federal Reserve actions lowered the federal funds rate 50 basis points
in November 2002 resulting in lower short-term debt rates and lower
rates on floating-rate long-term debt for the first quarter of 2003.
Federal Reserve actions in 2001 and 2002 created the lowest interest
rate environment in forty years and resulted in lower long-term debt
rates as new issuances were generally at lower rates than long-term
debt being refinanced.


Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were as follows:

<PAGE> 21

Salaries and benefits increased for the three months ended March 31,
2003 when compared to the same period in 2002 primarily due to the
addition of approximately 500 WFI employees, competitive compensation,
and rising benefit costs.  The improvement in operating expenses as a
percentage of average net receivables for the three months ended March
31, 2003 when compared to the same period in 2002 reflected controlled
operating expenses and finance receivable growth.

<PAGE> 22

Real estate loan charge-off ratio improved for the three months ended
March 31, 2003 when compared to the same period in 2002 primarily due
to purchases of higher quality real estate loans during the last half
of 2002.

The delinquency ratio at March 31, 2003 decreased when compared to
March 31, 2002 primarily due to a higher proportion of net finance
receivables that are real estate loans, which generally have lower
delinquency.

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 March 31, 2003 when compared
to March 31, 2002 was due to:

     *  net increases to the allowance for finance receivable losses
        through the provision for finance receivable losses during the
        period totaling $3.0 million (these increases were necessary
        in response to our increased delinquency and net charge-offs
        and the higher levels of both unemployment and personal
        bankruptcies in the United States); and
     *  increase to the allowance for finance receivable losses during
        third quarter 2002 of $7.4 million resulting from a purchase
        business combination.

The allowance as a percentage of net finance receivables declined in
2003 reflecting purchases of higher quality real estate loans during
the last half of 2002.
<PAGE> 23

Charge-off coverage, which compares the allowance for finance
receivable losses to net charge-offs (annualized), decreased slightly
for the three months ended March 31, 2003 when compared to the same
period in 2002 reflecting slightly higher net charge-offs,
substantially offset by increases to allowance for finance receivable
losses.


Insurance Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

Insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses were as follows:

                                                 Three Months Ended
                                                      March 31,
                                                 2003           2002
                                                (dollars in millions)

Claims incurred                                 $22.6           $24.0
Change in benefit reserves                       (2.2)           (2.0)

Total                                           $20.4           $22.0

Amount change                                   $(1.6)          $(1.3)
Percent change                                   (7)%            (5)%


Claims incurred decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2003
when compared to the same period in 2002 primarily due to decreases in
claim reserves.


Provision for Income Taxes
                                                 Three Months Ended

  Percent change                                    8%            14%

Pretax income                                   $129.8         $118.6
Effective income tax rate                       35.23%         35.60%


Provision for income taxes increased for the three months ended March
31, 2003 when compared to the same period in 2002 primarily due to
higher taxable income.


Asset/Liability Management

We manage anticipated cash flows of our assets and liabilities,
principally our finance receivables and debt, in an effort to reduce
the risk associated with unfavorable changes in interest rates not met
by changes in finance charge yields of our finance receivables.  We
fund finance receivables with a combination of fixed-rate and floating-
rate debt and equity.  Management determines the mix of fixed-rate and
floating-rate debt based, in part, on the nature of the finance
receivables being supported.
<PAGE> 24

We limit our exposure to market interest rate increases by fixing
interest rates that we pay for term periods.  The primary means by
which we accomplish this is by issuing fixed-rate debt.  To supplement
fixed-rate debt issuances, AGFC also alters the nature of certain
floating-rate funding by using interest rate swap agreements to
synthetically create fixed-rate, long-term debt, thereby limiting our
exposure to market interest rate increases.  Additionally, AGFC has
swapped fixed-rate, long-term debt to floating-rate, long-term debt.
Including the effect of interest rate swap agreements that effectively
fix floating-rate debt or float fixed-rate debt, our floating-rate debt
represented 41% of average borrowings for the three months ended March
31, 2003 compared to 35% for the same period in 2002.



Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.


(a)  Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

     The conclusions of our principal executive officer and principal
     financial officer about the effectiveness of the Company's
     disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluation of
     these controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days of the
     filing date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are as follows:

     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 required
     timeframes.  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 principal
     executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate
     to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

     The Company's management, including its principal executive
     officer and principal financial officer, assesses the adequacy of
     our disclosure controls and procedures quarterly.  Based on these
     assessments, the Company's principal executive officer and
     principal 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.

(b)  Changes in internal control

     There were no significant changes in the Company's internal
     controls or in other factors that could significantly affect
     these controls subsequent to the date of management's most recent
     evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to any
     significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
