AMERICAN GENERAL FINANCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2005





Note 1.  Basis of Presentation



American General Finance Corporation will be referred to as AGFC or collectively with its subsidiaries, whether directly or indirectly owned, as the Company 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 AGFC and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned.  We eliminated all intercompany items.  AGFC is a wholly owned subsidiary of American General Finance, Inc. (AGFI).  AGFI is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of American International Group, Inc. (AIG).



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.  You should read these statements in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.  To conform to the 2005 presentation, we reclassified certain items in the prior period.

Note 3.  Allowance for Finance Receivable Losses



Changes in the allowance for finance receivable losses were as follows:



|                                        | Three Months Ended     |          | Six Months Ended
|--------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | -------- | ----------------
|                                        | June 30,               |          | June 30,        
|                                        | 2005                   | 2004     |                 
|                                        | (dollars in thousands)
|Balance at beginning of period          | $445,926               | $445,613 |                 
|Provision for finance receivable losses | 69,500                 | 64,089   |                 
|Charge-offs                             | (71,271)               | (75,315) |                 
|Recoveries                              | 12,938                 | 11,292   |                 
|Balance at end of period                | $457,093               | $445,679 |                 





Note 4.  Derivative Financial Instruments



AGFC uses derivative financial instruments in managing the cost of its debt but is neither a dealer nor a trader in derivative financial instruments.  AGFCs derivative financial instruments consist of interest rate, foreign currency, and equity-indexed swap agreements.



We design our interest rate and foreign currency swap agreements to qualify as cash flow hedges or fair value hedges.  While our equity-indexed swap agreement mitigates economic exposure of related equity-indexed debt, this swap agreement does not qualify as a cash flow or fair value hedge under GAAP.  At June 30, 2005, equity-indexed debt was immaterial.





Note 5.  Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income



Components of accumulated other comprehensive income were as follows:



|                                                   | June 30,               | December 31,
|-------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | ------------
|                                                   | 2005                   | 2004        
|                                                   | (dollars in thousands)
|Net unrealized gains on investment securities      | $46,973                | $43,515     
|Net unrealized gains (losses) on swap agreements   | 23,728                 | (6,102)     
|Net unrealized losses on minimum pension liability | (1,371)                | -           
|Accumulated other comprehensive income             | $69,330                | $37,413

Note 6.  Segment Information



We have three business segments:  branch, centralized real estate, and insurance.  We define our segments by types of financial service products we offer, nature of our production processes, and methods we use to distribute our products and to provide our services, as well as our management reporting structure.



In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, we expanded our segment reporting to reflect our centralized real estate business as a separate segment.  We also restated prior interim periods so that these prior periods are shown on a comparable basis to our new presentation.



In our branch business segment, we:



·

originate real estate loans secured by first or second mortgages on residential real estate, which may be closed-end accounts or open-end home equity lines of credit;

·

originate secured and unsecured non-real estate loans;

·

purchase retail sales contracts and provide revolving retail sales financing services arising from the retail sale of consumer goods and services by retail merchants; and

·

purchase private label receivables originated by AIG Federal Savings Bank (AIG Bank) under a participation agreement.



To supplement our lending and retail sales financing activities, we purchase portfolios of real estate loans, non-real estate loans, and retail sales finance receivables originated by other lenders.  We also offer credit and non-credit insurance and ancillary products to all eligible branch customers.



In our centralized real estate business segment, we:



·

provide, for fees, marketing services, certain origination processing services, loan servicing, and related services for AIG Bank;

·

originate real estate loans for transfer to the centralized real estate servicing center;

·

originate real estate loans for sale to investors with servicing released to the purchaser; and

·

service a portfolio of real estate loans generated through:

·

portfolio acquisitions from third party lenders;

·

correspondent relationships;

·

our mortgage origination subsidiaries;

·

refinancing existing mortgages; or

·

advances on home equity lines of credit.



In our insurance business segment, we write and reinsure credit life, credit accident and health, credit-related property and casualty, credit involuntary unemployment, and non-credit insurance covering our customers and the property pledged as collateral through products that the branch business segment offers its customers.  We also monitor our finance receivables to ensure that the related collateral is adequately protected.

Note 7.  Legal Contingencies



AGFC and certain of its subsidiaries are parties to various lawsuits and proceedings, including certain purported class action claims, arising in the ordinary course of business.  In addition, many 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 lawsuits and 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 large punitive damage awards that bear little or no relation to actual economic damages incurred by plaintiffs in some jurisdictions, 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 statement 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) for interim periods.  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.  We designed these systems 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.  In 2004, AIG adopted the AIG Director, Executive Officer, and Senior Financial Officer Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which covers such directors and officers of AIG and its subsidiaries, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Accounting Officer.  We do not allow loans to executive officers.  The aforementioned 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, AIGs management, and AIGs internal audit department.  We take prompt action to correct control deficiencies and improve the systems.  The Companys management assesses any changes to 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.

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 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 and invest cash flows from the insurance business segment;

·

changes in the competitive environment in which we operate, including the demand for our products, customer responsiveness to our distribution channels and the formation of business combinations among our competitors;

·

the effectiveness of our credit risk scoring models in assessing the risk of customer unwillingness or inability to repay;

·

shifts in collateral values, contractual delinquencies, and credit losses;

·

levels of unemployment and personal bankruptcies;

·

our ability to access capital markets and maintain our credit rating position;

·

changes in laws 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 any acquisitions into our businesses;

·

changes in our ability to attract and retain employees or key executives to support our businesses; and

·

natural or accidental events such as fires or floods affecting our branches or other operating facilities.



We also direct readers to other risks and uncertainties discussed in other documents we file with the SEC.  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.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES



We consider our most critical accounting estimate to be the establishment of an adequate allowance for finance receivable losses.  Our Credit Strategy and Policy Committee evaluates our finance receivable portfolio monthly.  The Credit Strategy and Policy Committee exercises its judgment, based on quantitative analyses, qualitative factors, and each committee members experience in the consumer finance industry, when determining the amount of the allowance for finance receivable losses.  If 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 branch and centralized real estate business segments.  We document the adequacy of the allowance for finance receivable losses, the analysis of the trends in credit quality, and the current economic conditions the Credit Strategy and Policy Committee considered to support its conclusions.  See Provision for Finance Receivable Losses for further information on the allowance for finance receivable losses.





OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS



We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by SEC rules.





CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY



Capital Resources



Our capital varies primarily with the amount of net finance receivables.  We base the mix of debt and equity primarily upon maintaining leverage that supports cost-effective funding.



|                              | June 30,

Reconciliations of equity to tangible equity were as follows:

|                                              | (dollars in millions)
|Equity                                        | $3,067.8             
|Goodwill                                      | (220.5)              
|Accumulated other comprehensive (income) loss | (69.3)               
|Tangible equity                               | $2,778.0             





We issue a combination of fixed-rate debt, principally long-term, and floating-rate debt, both long-term and short-term.  AGFC obtains our fixed-rate funding through public issuances of long-term debt with maturities generally ranging from three to ten years.  AGFC obtains most of our floating-rate funding by issuing and refinancing commercial paper and through issuances of long-term, floating-rate debt.  We issue commercial paper, with maturities ranging from 1 to 270 days, to banks, insurance companies, corporations, and other institutional investors.  At June 30, 2005, short-term debt included $3.6 billion of commercial paper.  AGFC also issues extendible commercial notes with initial maturities of up to 90 days, which AGFC may extend to 390 days.  At June 30, 2005, short-term debt included $766.5 million of extendible commercial notes.



AGFC uses interest rate, foreign currency, and equity-indexed swap agreements in conjunction with specific debt issuances.  AGFCs objective is to achieve net U.S. dollar, fixed or floating interest exposure at costs not materially different from costs AGFC would have incurred by issuing debt for the same net exposure without using derivatives.  Accordingly, this cost differential did not have a material effect on the Companys net income during the six months ended June 30, 2005 or 2004.



AGFC has historically paid dividends to (or received capital contributions from) its parent to manage our leverage of debt to tangible equity to a targeted amount, which is currently 7.5 to 1.  Certain AGFC financing agreements effectively limit the amount of dividends AGFC may pay.





Liquidity Facilities



We maintain credit facilities to support the issuance of commercial paper and to provide an additional source of funds for operating requirements.  At June 30, 2005, AGFC had committed credit facilities totaling $3.5 billion, consisting of a $1.5 billion multi-year facility and $2.0 billion of credit facilities with commitments of less than one year (but with one-year term out provisions upon drawdown) under which AGFI was an eligible borrower for up to $660.0 million.  The annual commitment fees for the facilities were based upon AGFCs long-term credit ratings and averaged 0.07% at June 30, 2005.  On July 14, 2005, $2.0 billion of AGFCs credit facilities with commitments of less than one year which expired on that date were resyndicated, and the amount was increased to $2.1 billion, under which AGFI is an eligible borrower for up to $400.0 million.  We also resyndicated the multi-year facility on July 14, 2005, increasing its amount to $2.1 billion and extending its termination date until July 2010.



At June 30, 2005, AGFC and certain of its subsidiaries also had an uncommitted credit facility totaling $50.0 million which was shared with AGFI and could be increased depending upon lender ability to participate its loans under the facility.



There were no amounts outstanding under any facility at June 30, 2005 or June 30, 2004.  AGFC does not guarantee any borrowings of AGFI.







15





Liquidity



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



We believe that our overall sources of liquidity will continue to be sufficient to satisfy our foreseeable operational requirements and financial obligations.  The principal factors that could decrease our 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 by continuing to operate the Company utilizing the following existing strategies:



·

maintain a finance receivable portfolio comprised mostly of real estate loans, which generally represent a lower risk of customer non-payment;

·

monitor finance receivables using our credit risk and asset/liability management systems;

·

maintain an investment securities portfolio of predominantly investment grade, liquid securities; and

·

maintain a capital structure appropriate to our asset base.



Principal sources and uses of cash were as follows:

|Principal uses of cash:

We believe that 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 to issue our commercial paper and long-term debt.  We have implemented programs and operating guidelines to ensure adequate liquidity, to mitigate the impact of any inability to access capital markets, and to provide contingent funding sources.  These programs and guidelines include the following:



·

We manage commercial paper as a percentage of total debt.  At June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004 that percentage was 17%.

·

We spread commercial paper maturities throughout upcoming weeks and months.

·

We limit the amount of commercial paper that any one investor may hold.

·

We maintain credit facilities to support the issuance of commercial paper and to provide an additional source of funds for operating requirements.  At June 30, 2005, we had $3.5 billion of committed bank credit facilities, and these facilities were increased to $4.3 billion in July 2005.

·

As of June 30, 2005, we had effective shelf registration statements that provided AGFC with the ability to issue up to $2.6 billion of long-term debt securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933.  AGFC could issue these securities as traditional public term debt, retail notes, or equity index-linked notes, among other forms.

·

We have established AGFC as an issuer in the international capital markets.

·

We have the ability to sell, on a whole loan basis, or sell for securitization a portion of our finance receivables.

·

We collected principal payments on our finance receivables totaling $7.6 billion in the past twelve months.  We chose to reinvest most of these collections, plus additional amounts from borrowings, in new finance receivables during this period, but these funds could be made available for other uses, if necessary.

·

We have the ability to sell a portion of our insurance subsidiaries investment securities and dividend, subject to certain limits, cash from the securities sales.

The low interest rate environment contributed to the increase in real estate loan average net receivables.  Real estate loan production arising from our centralized real estate origination services represented $4.3 billion of our real estate loan originations during the last twelve months.  In addition, real estate loan production continued to benefit from correspondent relationships we have established.

Insurance Revenues



Insurance revenues were as follows:

Earned premiums decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 when compared to the same periods in 2004 primarily due to declining credit and non-credit premium volume.  We continued to experience decreases in the number of non-real estate loan customers, who historically have purchased the majority of our insurance products, due to the low mortgage interest rate environment.





Other Revenues

Other revenues increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 when compared to the same periods in 2004 primarily due to higher net service fee income from a non-subsidiary affiliate, partially offset by lower net gain on sales of real estate loans held for sale and lower investment revenue.  Net service fee income from a non-subsidiary affiliate increased due to higher AIG Bank real estate loan production using our centralized real estate segments services.  Our mortgage origination subsidiaries have entered into agreements with AIG Bank whereby for fees these subsidiaries provide marketing services, certain origination processing services, loan servicing, and related services for AIG Banks origination and sale of non-conforming residential real estate loans.  The subsidiaries assume financial responsibility for recourse exposure pertaining to these loans.  We net the provisions for recourse from service fees in net service fee income from a non-subsidiary affiliate.

Short-term, market interest rates have risen significantly since mid-2004, when interest rates were at the lowest levels since the 1950s.  We expect our borrowing costs to continue rising over the remainder of 2005, particularly for short-term debt.  Our actual future borrowing costs will depend on general interest rate levels and market credit spreads, which are influenced by our credit ratings and the market perception of credit risk for the Company and possibly our affiliates, including our ultimate parent, AIG.





Operating Expenses



Operating expenses were as follows:

Operating expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 when compared to the same periods in 2004 primarily due to growth in our centralized real estate business segment, including higher salaries and benefits expenses.  Approximately $66.0 million of the Companys operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and $124.6 million of such expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were directly related to the centralized real estate business segment, compared to $53.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and $97.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004.  The increase in salaries and benefits reflected approximately 690 centralized real estate employees hired during the last twelve months.  The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of average net receivables for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 when compared to the same periods in 2004 reflected higher average net receivables and continued emphasis on controlling operating expenses, partially offset by growth in our centralized real estate business segment.

Delinquency ratios based on contract terms in effect by type and changes in delinquency ratios in basis points when compared to the same period for the previous year were as follows:



|                      | June 30,

|Non-real estate loans | 4.00    
|Retail sales finance  | 1.93    
|Total                 | 1.84    





The delinquency ratio at June 30, 2005 improved when compared to June 30, 2004 primarily due to the improving economy and a higher proportion of net finance receivables that were real estate loans.



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 June 30, 2005 when compared to June 30, 2004 was through the provision for finance receivable losses during the period totaling $11.4 million.



The allowance ratio at June 30, 2005 decreased when compared to June 30, 2004 primarily due to the improving economy and a higher proportion of net finance receivables that were real estate loans.



Charge-off coverage, which compares the allowance for finance receivable losses to net charge-offs (annualized), improved for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 when compared to the same periods in 2004 primarily due to lower net charge-offs.





Insurance Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

|Percent change             | (11)%                 | 19%    |                 





Insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 when compared to the same periods in 2004 due to lower credit insurance claims incurred.

|Effective income tax rate  | 37.18%                | 36.39%   |                 





Provision for income taxes increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 when compared to the same periods in 2004 primarily due to higher pretax income.





Asset/Liability Management



To reduce the risk associated with unfavorable changes in interest rates not offset by favorable changes in yield of our finance receivables, we monitor the anticipated cash flows of our assets and liabilities, principally our finance receivables and debt.  We fund finance receivables with a combination of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt and equity.  We base the mix of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt, in part, on the nature of the finance receivables being supported.



We issue fixed-rate, long-term debt as the primary source of fixed-rate debt.  AGFC also alters the nature of certain floating-rate funding by using swap agreements to create synthetic fixed-rate, long-term debt, to limit our exposure to market interest rate increases.  Additionally, AGFC has swapped fixed-rate, long-term debt to floating-rate, long-term 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 43% of our borrowings at June 30, 2005 compared to 36% at June 30, 2004.  Adjustable-rate net finance receivables represented 15% of our net finance receivables at June 30, 2005 compared to 21% at June 30, 2004.





27





Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.





The fair values of certain of our assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in market interest rates.  The impact of changes in interest rates would be reduced by the fact that increases (decreases) in fair values of assets would be partially offset by corresponding changes in fair values of liabilities.  In the aggregate, the estimated impact of an immediate and sustained 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates on the fair values of our interest rate-sensitive financial instruments would not be material to our financial position.



The estimated increases (decreases) in fair values of interest rate-sensitive financial instruments were as follows:



|                                                                             | June 30, 2005          |            | December 31, 2004

|Swap agreements                                                              | 74,440                 | (82,412)   |

We derived the changes in fair values by modeling estimated cash flows of certain of our assets and liabilities. The assumptions we used adjusted cash flows to reflect changes in prepayments and calls, but did not consider loan originations, debt issuances, or new investment purchases.



Readers should exercise care in drawing conclusions based on the above analysis.  While these changes in fair values provide a measure of interest rate sensitivity, they do not represent our expectations about the impact of interest rate changes on our financial results.  This analysis is also based on our exposure at a particular point in time and incorporates numerous assumptions and estimates.  It also assumes an immediate change in interest rates, without regard to the impact of certain business decisions or initiatives that we would likely undertake to mitigate or eliminate some or all of the adverse effects of the modeled scenarios.

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 June 30, 2005 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, evaluates the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of each quarter.  Based on an evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2005, 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 over financial reporting



There was no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
