Basis of Presentation  American General Finance Corporation (AGFC, or collectively with its subsidiaries, whether directly or indirectly owned, the Company, we, or our) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of American General Finance, Inc. (AGFI). AGFI is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of AIG Capital Corporation, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of American International Group, Inc. (AIG).  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 AGFC and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. We eliminated all material intercompany accounts and transactions. We made estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in our 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 through August 11, 2010, the date that we filed our financial statements with the SEC. 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, 2009. To conform to the 2010 presentation, we reclassified certain items in the prior period.  In second quarter 2010, we revised our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows to change the classification of restricted cash related to our securitization transactions. We have historically included restricted cash related to our securitization transactions as a change in other assets and other liabilities in cash flows from operating activities. After further review, management has concluded that the appropriate reporting is to include this item in cash flows from investing activities as a change in restricted cash. The operating and investing sections of our condensed consolidated cash flow statement were revised by equal and offsetting amounts. The operating and investing sections of our condensed consolidated cash flow statement for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were not revised because the 2009 securitization occurred in July 2009. This revision had the effect of increasing the previously reported cash flows provided by operating activities by $19.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, $20.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, and $26.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and decreasing the previously reported cash flows provided by investing activities by the same amounts. Management has evaluated the effects of these reclassifications and concluded that they are not material to any of our previously issued quarterly and annual consolidated financial statements.   GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATION  Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, nor relating to the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.   Liquidity of the Company  Since the events of September 2008 and through the filing of this report, our access to capital markets has been limited and obtained primarily through funding structures different than our more traditional borrowing transactions prior to 2008. This alternative funding approach was due to a combination of the challenges facing AIG, our operating results, downgrades of our debt credit ratings, and market concerns  7   as to our available sources of funding following the turmoil in the capital markets beginning in 2008. While overall credit markets and our near-term liquidity position each have improved compared to late 2008 and much of 2009, we cannot determine when, or to what extent, access to our more traditional borrowing sources will become available to us again.   Progress on Managements Plan for Stabilization of the Company and Repayment of Our Obligations as They Become Due  In addition to finance receivable collections, management has developed initiatives to support our liquidity and raise capital to meet our financial and operating obligations. These initiatives include additional borrowings, on-balance sheet securitizations, portfolio sales, expense reductions, and branch closures, while continuing to limit our new lending. The exact nature and magnitude of any additional measures will be driven by our available resources and needs, prevailing market conditions, and the results of our operations.  During the first half of 2010, we made substantial progress in assessing our liquidity needs and continued to demonstrate our ability to manage liquidity and generate additional funding. In March 2010, we securitized $1.0 billion of real estate loans and sold $501.3 million in senior certificates (while retaining subordinated notes for possible future sale) and separately received AIGs repayment of its $1.6 billion in demand promissory notes to us. In April 2010, we executed and fully drew down on a $3.0 billion five-year secured term loan. AGFC and AGFI used a portion of the proceeds from these transactions to repay the $2.450 billion one-year term loans in March 2010 ($2.050 billion repaid by AGFC and $400.0 million repaid by AGFI) and the AGFC $2.125 billion multi-year credit facility in April 2010, both prior to their due dates in July 2010. With these repayments, there are no remaining AGFC or AGFI debt agreements that require AGFC to maintain a minimum specified dollar amount of AGFC consolidated net worth, or require AIG to maintain majority ownership of AGFC or AGFI. Based upon our estimates and taking into account the risks and uncertainties of operating 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.  As disclosed in AIGs Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2010, based on our level of increased liquidity and expected future sources of funding, including future cash flows from operations, AIG expects that we will be able to meet our existing obligations as they become due for at least the next twelve months solely from our own future cash flows. Therefore, while AIG has acknowledged its intent to support us through February 28, 2011, at the current time AIG believes that any further extension of such support will not be necessary.  On August 10, 2010, AIG entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with FCFI Acquisition LLC, (the Acquiror), an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC. Under the Purchase Agreement, among other things, the Acquiror will indirectly acquire 80% of AGFI, and AIG will retain a 20% interest in the AGFI business. The parties expect that this transaction (the FCFI Transaction) will close by the end of the first quarter of 2011, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. The potential effect of the proposed FCFI Transaction on the Companys financial position and results of operations cannot be determined at this time.  8   Managements Assessment and Conclusion  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 higher performing assets for on-balance sheet 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, on-balance sheet securitizations, portfolio sales, 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 will affect profitability; · our ability to comply with our debt covenants; · our significant reliance upon debt to fund our operations; · our access to unsecured debt markets and other sources of funding, and the potential increased cost of funding sources as compared to historic borrowing rates; · adverse credit ratings actions on our debt; · constraints on our business resulting from AIGs credit agreement (as amended, the FRBNY Credit Agreement) with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) and other AIG agreements, including limitations on our ability to pursue (and retain proceeds from) certain funding sources, such as additional on-balance sheet securitizations and portfolio sales, without AIG receiving prior consent from the FRBNY; · 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; · the ability and intent of AIG to provide funding to us through February 28, 2011, including as a result of the proposed FCFI Transaction; and · the potential adverse effect on us relating to intercompany transactions with AIG, including derivatives and intercompany borrowings, if AIGs liquidity position deteriorates or if AIG is not able to continue as a going concern.  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. If one or more of these possible outcomes is realized and third party financing is not available, we may need additional support to meet our obligations as they become due. Under these adverse assumptions, without additional support in the future, there could exist substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  In addition, the potential effect of the proposed FCFI Transaction on the Companys financial position and results of operations cannot be determined at this time.  9   Note 2.  Additional Significant Accounting Policies  VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES  An entity is a variable interest entity (VIE) if the entity does not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support or has equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. A VIE is consolidated into the financial statements of its primary beneficiary. When we have a variable interest in a VIE, we qualitatively assess whether we have a controlling financial interest in the entity and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. In applying the qualitative assessment to identify the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we are determined to have a controlling financial interest if we have (1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We consider the VIEs purpose and design, including the risks that the entity was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders. Determining a VIEs primary beneficiary is an ongoing assessment.   Note 3.  Recent Accounting Standards  We adopted the following accounting standards in 2010:  Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets  In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an accounting standard addressing transfers of financial assets that removed the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity (QSPE) from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and removed the exception that exempted transferors from applying the consolidation rules to QSPEs. The new standard was effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2010 for us. Earlier application was prohibited. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.   Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities  In June 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard that amended the rules addressing consolidation of VIEs with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly affect the entitys economic performance and has (1) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or (2) the right to receive benefits from the entity. The new standard also requires enhanced financial reporting by enterprises involved with VIEs. We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2010. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.  In February 2010, the FASB issued an update to the aforementioned accounting standard that deferred the revised consolidation rules for those VIEs that have attributes of, or that are similar to, an investment company or money market fund. The adoption of this update did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.  We will adopt the following accounting standard in the future:  Accounting for Embedded Credit Derivatives  In March 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standard that amends the accounting for embedded credit derivative features in structured securities that redistribute credit risk in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another. The new standard clarifies how to determine whether embedded credit derivative features are considered to be embedded derivatives that require bifurcation and separate  10   accounting. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on July 1, 2010 for us. We do not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.   Disclosures about Credit Quality of Finance Receivables and Allowance for Finance Receivable Losses  In July 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standard that amends the rules for disclosures that an entity provides about the credit quality of its finance receivables and the related allowance for finance receivable losses. The new standard requires us to disaggregate, by portfolio segment or class of finance receivable, certain existing disclosures and provide certain new disclosures about our finance receivables and related allowance for finance receivable losses. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2011 for us. Because the new standard only requires additional disclosures about finance receivables and the related allowance for finance receivable losses, it will have no effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

See Note 5 and Note 10 for further discussion regarding our securitization transactions. Also included in the table above are finance receivables totaling $7.6 billion at June 30, 2010 that have been pledged as collateral for our secured term loan.  Unused credit limits extended to customers by the Company or by AIG Federal Savings Bank (AIG Bank), a non-subsidiary affiliate (whose private label finance receivables are fully participated to us), totaled $184.2 million at June 30, 2010 and $148.7 million at December 31, 2009. The increase in the unused credit limits was primarily due to AGFI contributing two wholly-owned subsidiaries to AGFC  11   effective January 1, 2010. All unused credit limits, in part or in total, can be cancelled at the discretion of the Company or AIG Bank.  To support our liquidity, we have sold certain finance receivables as an alternative funding source. During 2009, we transferred $1.8 billion of real estate loans from finance receivables to finance receivables held for sale due to managements intent to no longer hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future.  In February 2010, we transferred $170.7 million of real estate loans at the lower of cost or fair value from finance receivables held for sale back to finance receivables held for investment in preparation for an on-balance sheet securitization that was completed in March 2010. In June 2010, we transferred $484.9 million of real estate loans at the lower of cost or fair value from finance receivables held for sale back to finance receivables held for investment due to managements intent to hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2010, it is probable that we will hold the remainder of the finance receivable portfolio for the foreseeable future.

The HAMP is designed to assist certain eligible homeowners who are at risk of foreclosure by applying loan modification requirements in a stated order of succession until their monthly payments are lowered to a specified percentage target of their monthly gross income. The modification guidelines require the servicer to use a uniform loan modification process to provide a borrower with sustainable monthly payments. Effective April 5, 2010, a new program under the HAMP provided certain incentives to borrowers, servicers, and investors to encourage short sales and deeds in lieu of foreclosure as a way to avoid the foreclosure process. The HAMP guidelines are likely to be subject to additional changes and requirements as the United States Department of the Treasury makes adjustments to the program.  12   As part of a Securities Purchase Agreement and a Securities Exchange Agreement between AIG and the United States Department of the Treasury dated April 17, 2009, AIG agreed that its subsidiaries that were eligible would join the HAMP and would comply with the HAMP guidelines. In third quarter 2009, MorEquity, Inc. (MorEquity), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of AGFC, 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 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. As of June 30, 2010, MorEquity had completed 660 HAMP modifications and 280 trial HAMP modifications were in process. We are making the required system changes necessary to implement HAMP in our branch operations, and they plan to join the HAMP during the fourth quarter of 2010.   Note 5.  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 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.  We have limited continued involvement with the finance receivables that have been included in these securitization transactions. Our 2009 securitization transaction, which closed on July 30, 2009, utilizes a third-party servicer to service the finance receivables. We service the finance receivables for our other existing securitization transaction. 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 in other assets. 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. Refer to Notes 2 and 10 for further discussion regarding these VIEs and the related assets and liabilities included in our financial statements as part of these secured debt arrangements.  Our 2010 securitization transaction, which closed on March 30, 2010, included the sale of approximately $1.0 billion of our centralized real estate loans to a wholly-owned consolidated special purpose vehicle, Sixth Street Funding LLC (Sixth Street), which concurrently formed a trust to issue trust certificates totaling $716.9 million in initial principal balance to Sixth Street in exchange for the loans. In connection with the securitization, Sixth Street sold to a third party $501.3 million of senior certificates with a 5.15% coupon. Sixth Street received cash proceeds, including accrued interest after the sales discount but before expenses, of $503.3 million and retained subordinated and residual interest trust certificates. As a result of the combination of over-collateralization and the initially retained subordinated and residual interest trust certificates, we received a subordinated economic interest in approximately 50% of the assets transferred.  13   Our on-balance sheet securitizations of real estate loans and the related debt were as follows:  (dollars in thousands)Real Estate

The contribution included $16.2 million of allowance for finance receivable losses.  (b) During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, we decreased the allowance for finance receivable losses as a result of the transfers of real estate loans ($761.8 million and $1.3 billion, respectively) from finance receivables to finance receivables held for sale due to managements intent to no longer hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future.   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.  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.  14   We also establish TDR reserves for impaired loans, 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 loans 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.  15   Note 7.

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.  17   We did not recognize in earnings the unrealized losses on fixed-maturity securities at June 30, 2010, 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 June 30, 2010, unrealized losses on bond investments in an unrealized loss position of more than 50% for more than 12 months totaled $2.3 million relating to originally investment grade structured securities that are floating-rate or that have low fixed coupons relative to current market yields. As part of our credit evaluation procedures applied to these and other securities, we consider the nature of both the specific securities and the general market conditions for those securities. Current market spreads continue to be significantly wider for securities supported by real estate related assets, compared to spreads at the securities respective purchase date, largely due to the continued effects of the recession and the economic and market uncertainties regarding future performance of commercial and residential real estate. In addition, declining LIBOR rates have made floating-rate securities less attractive as a class.  We believe that the lack of demand for commercial and residential real estate collateral-based investments, low contractual coupons and interest rate spreads, and the deterioration in the level of collateral support due to real estate market conditions are the primary reasons for the securities trading at significant price discounts. Based on managements analysis, we continue to believe the expected cash flows from these securities will be sufficient to recover the amortized cost of our investment. We continue to monitor these positions for potential credit impairments resulting from further deterioration in commercial and residential real estate fundamentals.  Fair value and unrealized losses on investment securities by type and length of time in a continuous unrealized loss position for which an other-than-temporary impairment was recognized and only the amount related to a credit loss was recognized in earnings, were as follows:  12 Months or LessMore Than 12 MonthsTotal(dollars in thousands)Fair

Restricted Cash  Restricted cash at June 30, 2010 included funds related to our $3.0 billion secured term loan executed in April 2010, escrow deposits, and funds to be used for future debt payments relating to our securitization transactions (see Note 5). Restricted cash at December 31, 2009 included escrow deposits and funds to be used for future debt payments relating to our securitization transactions.   Note 9.  Related Party Transactions  AFFILIATE LENDING  On May 11, 2010, AGFC made a loan of $750.0 million to AIG under a demand note agreement between AGFC and AIG dated May 11, 2010. The cash used to fund the loan came from operations and AGFCs secured term loan, which closed in April 2010. The interest rate for the unpaid principal balance is one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 178 basis points. AIG may repay principal and interest at any time without penalty. At June 30, 2010, notes receivable from AIG totaled $750.0 million, which included interest receivable of $44,000.  On March 24, 2009, AGFC made a loan of $800.0 million to AIG under a demand note agreement between AGFC and AIG dated March 24, 2009. On August 11, 2009, AGFC made an additional loan of $750.0 million to AIG under the March 24, 2009 demand note agreement. The cash used to fund these loans came from asset sale and securitization proceeds, operations, insurance subsidiary dividends, and the AIG capital contribution received in March 2009. At December 31, 2009, notes receivable from AIG totaled $1.6 billion, which included interest receivable of $0.9 million. On March 25, 2010, AIG repaid these demand promissory notes of $1.6 billion, which included interest payable to AGFC of $0.7 million. The interest rate for the unpaid principal balance was LIBOR plus 50 basis points. (AIG could repay principal and interest at any time without penalty.)  Each of these loans were made as short-term investment sources for excess cash and to facilitate AIGs obligation to manage its excess cash and excess cash held by its subsidiaries under the credit facility with the FRBNY, subject to a subordination agreement in favor of the FRBNY. Interest revenue on these notes receivable from AIG for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 totaled $2.3 million and $4.7 million, respectively. Interest revenue on these notes receivable from AIG for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $1.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively.  20   Notes receivable from AGFI totaled $517.1 million at June 30, 2010, and $451.9 million at December 31, 2009, which included interest receivable of $1.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The interest rate for the unpaid principal balance is prime plus 100 basis points. Interest revenue on notes receivable from AGFI totaled $5.5 million and $7.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. Interest revenue on these notes receivable from AGFI totaled $3.3 million and $6.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.   COST SHARING AGREEMENTS  In addition, we are party to cost sharing agreements, including tax sharing arrangements, with AIG. Generally, these agreements provide for the allocation of shared corporate costs based upon a proportional allocation of costs to all AIG subsidiaries. We also reimburse AIG Bank for costs associated with the remediation program related to the Supervisory Agreement with the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) dated June 7, 2007 (the Supervisory Agreement). See Note 13 for further information on the tax sharing arrangements, Note 16 for further information on the Supervisory Agreement, and Note 20 for information on the Purchase Agreement.   DERIVATIVES  All of our derivative financial instruments are with AIG Financial Products Corp. (AIGFP), a non-subsidiary affiliate that receives credit support from AIG, its parent. See Note 11 for further information on these derivatives.   CONTRIBUTION OF SUBSIDIARIES TO AGFC  Effective January 1, 2010, AGFI contributed two of its wholly-owned subsidiaries to AGFC. The contribution included $300.3 million of finance receivables. At December 31, 2009, these subsidiaries owed an aggregate total of $278.9 million to AGFI under intercompany notes. As part of the January 1, 2010 transaction, AGFC established direct notes to the subsidiaries in the same amount and as a result, AGFI then reduced its intercompany borrowings from AGFC. Because the transaction was between entities under common control, we recorded the transaction by transferring the assets, liability, and equity from AGFI to AGFC at the carrying value that existed as of January 1, 2010.   Note 10.  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.  The asset-backed securities are backed by the expected cash flows from securitized real estate loans. 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  21   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. These retained interests are primarily comprised of $1.3 billion, or 48%, 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 5 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)June 30, 2010December 31, 2009AssetsFinance receivables$2,773,367$1,889,193Allowance for finance receivable losses110,06070,312Restricted cash29,27620,388LiabilitiesLong-term debt$1,294,355$   900,143   We had no off-balance sheet exposure associated with our variable interests in the consolidated VIEs. 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 and six months ended June 30, 2010 totaled $41.3 million and $80.4 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 $349.4 million at June 30, 2010 and $349.3 million at December 31, 2009. We had no off-balance sheet exposure to loss associated with this VIE at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.   Note 11.  Derivative Financial Instruments  AGFC 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. AGFCs derivative financial instruments consist of interest rate, cross currency, cross currency interest rate, and equity-indexed swap agreements.  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 June 30, 2010, equity-indexed debt and related swaps were immaterial.  22   In the first quarter of 2010, we re-examined our accounting for our 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, 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 recognized losses related to ineffectiveness of $20.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and losses of $28.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 in other revenues. We recognized gains related to ineffectiveness of $9.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and losses of $16.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 in other revenues. We included all components of each derivatives gain or loss in the assessment of hedge effectiveness.  At June 30, 2010, we expect $104.9 million of the deferred net loss on cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive income to be reclassified to earnings during the twelve months ending June 30, 2011. This will be partially offset by a $56.0 million foreign exchange gain reclassification to earnings during the twelve months ending June 30, 2011 due to a maturity of foreign currency denominated debt. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no instances in which we reclassified amounts from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings as a result of a discontinuance of a cash flow hedge due to it becoming probable that the original forecasted transaction would not occur at the end of the originally specified time period.  24   The amount recognized in other revenues for the fair value hedge that no longer qualifies for hedge accounting, the related hedged item, the matured cash flow hedges, and the non-designated hedging instruments were as follows:  Fair Value HedgeNon-Designated Hedging(dollars in thousands)DerivativeHedged ItemInstrumentsThree Months Ended June 30, 2010Cross currency and cross currency interest rate$      -$      -$(56,192)Equity-indexed--78Total$      -$      -$(56,114)Three Months Ended June 30, 2009Cross currency and cross currency interest rate$      -$      -$(11,583)Equity-indexed--67Total$      -$      -$(11,516)Six Months Ended June 30, 2010Cross currency and cross currency interest rate$      -$      -$(10,128)Equity-indexed--160Total$      -$      -$  (9,968)Six Months Ended June 30, 2009Cross currency and cross currency interest rate$(13,641)$14,926$(11,075)Equity-indexed--121Total$(13,641)$14,926$(10,954)   During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we recognized a mark to market loss of $61.4 million on our non-designated cross currency derivative. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we recognized a mark to market loss of $95.7 million on our non-designated cross currency derivative, partially offset by gains of $68.8 million on the release of other comprehensive income related to cash flow hedge maturities. We recognized no gains or losses during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and net gains of $1.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 in other revenues related to the ineffective portion of our fair value hedging instruments. We included all components of each derivatives gain or loss in the assessment of hedge effectiveness.  AGFC is exposed to credit risk if counterparties to swap agreements do not perform. AGFC regularly monitors counterparty credit ratings throughout the term of the agreements. AGFC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. We recorded a $3.8 million credit valuation adjustment gain in other revenues on our non-designated derivative and an $11.8 million credit valuation adjustment gain in accumulated other comprehensive income on our cash flow hedges for the three months ended June 30, 2010. We recorded a $12.9 million credit valuation adjustment gain in other revenues on our non-designated derivative and a $29.0 million credit valuation adjustment gain in accumulated other comprehensive income on our cash flow hedges for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We recorded a $38.4 million credit valuation adjustment loss in other revenues on our non-designated derivative and a $77.7 million credit valuation adjustment loss in accumulated other comprehensive loss on our cash flow hedges for the three months ended June 30, 2009. We recorded a $36.8 million credit valuation adjustment loss in other revenues on our non-designated derivative and a $46.8 million credit valuation adjustment loss in  25   accumulated other comprehensive loss on our cash flow hedges for the six months ended June 30, 2009. If we do not exit these derivatives prior to maturity and no counterparty defaults occur, the credit valuation adjustment will result in no impact to earnings over the life of the agreements. We do not anticipate exiting these derivatives prior to maturity. These derivatives are with AIGFP, a non-subsidiary affiliate that receives credit support from AIG, its parent.  See Note 17 for information on how we determine fair value on our derivative financial instruments.   Note 12.  Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income  Components of accumulated other comprehensive income were as follows:  June 30,December 31,(dollars in thousands)20102009Net unrealized gains on:

In addition, accumulated other comprehensive income related to investment securities as of June 30, 2010 includes a valuation allowance of $18.9 million against the related deferred tax assets, compared to $10.6 million at December 31, 2009.   Note 13.  Income Taxes  Benefit from income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 reflected AIGs projection that it will have sufficient taxable income in 2010 to utilize our current year estimated tax losses. AGFC files its federal income tax return as a member of AIGs consolidated tax return group. Current income tax expense or benefit is allocated pro rata to AGFC, and other members of the AIG group, to the extent that AGFCs income or loss is included in or reduces AIGs current taxable income before use of tax carryforwards at the consolidated level. Deferred tax expense is determined on a separate company basis.  The income tax benefit of $105.1 million principally relates to $107.1 million income tax receivable from AIG and an $87.5 million change in net deferred tax assets offset by an equal release of the valuation allowance. On August 10, 2010, AIG entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Acquiror, an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC. In connection with entering into the Purchase Agreement, AIG and AGFI have agreed to amend their tax sharing agreement, which will terminate on the closing of FCFI Transaction, (i) to provide that, subject to the closing of the FCFI Transaction, the parties payment obligations under the tax sharing agreement shall be limited to the payments required to be made by AIG to AGFI with respect to the 2009 taxable year in accordance with the tax sharing agreement, and (ii) to include the terms of the promissory note to be issued by AIG in satisfaction of its 2009 taxable year payment obligation to AGFI. If the closing of the FCFI Transaction occurs, we will not be reimbursed for our 2010 current tax benefit of $107.1 million. Accordingly AGFI will record a distribution to AIG during the period the purchase closes. See Note 20 for further discussion regarding the Purchase Agreement.  26   As of June 30, 2010, we had a deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $439.7 million, compared to $521.3 million at December 31, 2009, to reduce net deferred tax assets to amounts we considered more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50 percent) to be realized. After the valuation allowance, we had a net deferred tax asset of $5.6 million at June 30, 2010 and $9.1 million at December 31, 2009, which reflected the net deferred tax asset of our Puerto Rico subsidiary.  When making our assessment about the realization of our deferred tax assets, we consider all available evidence, including:  · the nature, frequency, and severity of current and cumulative financial reporting losses; · the carryforward periods for the net operating and capital loss carryforwards; · the sources and timing of future taxable income, giving greater weight to discrete sources and to earlier future years in the forecast period; and · tax planning strategies that would be implemented, if necessary, to accelerate taxable amounts.  Realization of our net deferred tax asset depends on the ability of the relevant subsidiary to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character within the carryforward periods of the jurisdictions in which the net operating and capital losses, deductible temporary differences and credits of that subsidiary were generated.  At June 30, 2010, other assets included $571.8 million of net current federal income tax receivable, compared to $461.2 million at December 31, 2009.   Note 14.

We define our segments by types of financial service products we offer, nature of our production processes, and methods we use to distribute our products and to provide our services, as well as our management reporting structure.  In our branch business segment, we:  · originate 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 · purchase private label finance receivables originated by AIG Bank under a participation agreement.  27   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:  · service a portfolio of residential real estate loans generated through: · portfolio acquisitions from third party lenders; · our mortgage origination subsidiaries; · refinancing existing mortgages; · advances on home equity lines of credit; or · correspondent relationships; · originated and have historically acquired residential real estate loans for transfer to the centralized real estate servicing center; · originated residential real estate loans directly with consumers for sale to investors with servicing released to the purchaser; and · originated residential real estate loans through mortgage brokers for sale to investors with servicing released to the purchaser.  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.  28   The following table presents information about our segments as well as reconciliations to our condensed consolidated financial statement amounts.

Note 16.  Supervisory Agreement  As disclosed in AGFCs Current Report on Form 8-K dated June 7, 2007, AIG Bank, Wilmington Finance, Inc. (WFI) (a wholly-owned subsidiary of AGFC), and AGFI entered into the Supervisory Agreement with the OTS on June 7, 2007. The Supervisory Agreement pertains to certain mortgage loans originated in the name of AIG Bank by WFI from July 2003 through early May 2006 pursuant to a mortgage services agreement between WFI and AIG Bank. The mortgage services agreement was terminated in February 2006.  Pursuant to the terms of the Supervisory Agreement, AIG Bank, WFI, and AGFI implemented a financial remediation program whereby certain borrowers may be provided loans on more affordable terms and/or reimbursed for certain fees. Pursuant to the requirements of the Supervisory Agreement, we engaged the services of an external consultant to monitor, evaluate, and periodically report to the OTS on our compliance with the remediation program. The Supervisory Agreement will remain in effect until terminated, modified or suspended in writing by the OTS. Failure to comply with the terms of the Supervisory Agreement could result in the initiation of formal enforcement action by the OTS.  AIG Bank, WFI, and AGFI also made a commitment to donate a total of $15 million over a three-year period to certain not-for-profit organizations to support their efforts to promote financial literacy and credit counseling. As of June 30, 2010, we have donated $10.4 million to this cause.  In accordance with WFIs surviving obligations under the mortgage services agreement with AIG Bank, we established a reserve of $128 million (pretax) as a reduction to net service fees from affiliates (included in other revenues) as of March 31, 2007, reflecting managements then best estimate of the expected costs of the remediation program. After completion of discussions with the OTS and the execution of the Supervisory Agreement, we recorded an additional reserve of $50 million, inclusive of the $15 million donation commitment, in second quarter 2007. As of June 30, 2010, we have made reimbursements of $61.8 million for payments made by AIG Bank to refund certain fees to customers pursuant to the terms of the Supervisory Agreement. As of June 30, 2010, we have also reduced the reserve by $85.6 million as an addition to net service fees from affiliates (included in other revenues) resulting from our subsequent evaluations of our loss exposure. At June 30, 2010, this reserve totaled $12.2 million. As the estimate is based on judgments and assumptions made by management, the actual cost of the remediation program may differ from our estimate.  30   Note 17.  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.   FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY  We measure and classify assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet 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.  31   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. We outsource the investment of a portion of our liquid assets to AIG, which, as agent, invests our liquid assets together with other AIG subsidiaries and maintains these assets in common pools. Our interest in these jointly owned investments that are disclosed in the fair value table represents negotiable instruments. The carrying value of these negotiable instruments approximates fair value, as similar and identical instruments trade at price levels with a similar discount to par. The prices for trades of similar and identical instruments are observable and therefore are consistent with Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.  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.  32   Fair Value Measurements  Recurring Basis  On a recurring basis, we measure the fair value of investment securities, cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and derivative assets and liabilities. 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:  Fair Value Measurements UsingCounterpartyTotal Carried(dollars in thousands)Level 1Level 2Level 3Netting (a)At Fair ValueJune 30, 2010

(b) Other long-term investments excluded our interest in a limited partnership that we account for using the equity method of $1.3 million at June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009.  34   During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we transferred into Level 3 approximately $1.9 million of assets, consisting of certain CDO/ABS. Transfers into Level 3 for investments in CDO/ABS are primarily due to a decrease in market transparency and downward credit migration of these securities.  During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we transferred into Level 3 approximately $18.5 million of assets, consisting of certain private placement corporate debt. Transfers into Level 3 for private placement corporate debt are primarily the result of our over-riding third party matrix pricing information downward to better reflect the additional risk premium associated with those securities that we believe were not captured in the matrix.  Assets are transferred out of Level 3 when circumstances change such that significant inputs can be corroborated with market observable data. This may be due to a significant increase in market activity for the asset, a specific event, one or more significant input(s) becoming observable, or when a long-term interest rate significant to a valuation becomes short-term and thus observable. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we transferred approximately $10.9 million of assets out of Level 3, consisting of certain private placement corporate debt and common stock. Transfers out of Level 3 for private placement corporate debt and common stock 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. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we transferred approximately $20.1 million of assets out of Level 3, consisting of certain private placement corporate debt.  35   The following table presents changes in Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:  Net (losses) gains included in:(dollars in thousands)Balance at

(b) Other long-term investments excluded our interest in a limited partnership that we account for using the equity method of $1.3 million at June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009.   During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we transferred into Level 3 approximately $6.1 million of assets, consisting of certain CMBS and CDO/ABS. Transfers into Level 3 for investments in CMBS and CDO/ABS are primarily due to a decrease in market transparency and downward credit migration of these securities.  During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we transferred into Level 3 approximately $48.2 million of assets, consisting of certain private placement corporate debt and CDO/ABS. Transfers into Level 3 for private placement corporate debt are primarily the result of our over-riding third party matrix pricing information downward to better reflect the additional risk premium associated with those securities that we believe were not captured in the matrix. Transfers into Level 3 for investments in CDO/ABS are primarily due to a decrease in market transparency and downward credit migration of these securities.  36   Assets are transferred out of Level 3 when circumstances change such that significant inputs can be corroborated with market observable data. This may be due to a significant increase in market activity for the asset, a specific event, one or more significant input(s) becoming observable, or when a long-term interest rate significant to a valuation becomes short-term and thus observable. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we transferred approximately $21.3 million of assets out of Level 3, consisting of certain private placement corporate debt and common stock. Transfers out of Level 3 for private placement corporate debt and common stock 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. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we transferred approximately $21.2 million of assets out of Level 3, consisting of certain private placement corporate debt.  There were no unrealized gains or losses recognized in earnings on instruments held at June 30, 2010 or 2009.  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 table 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. These assets include real estate owned and finance receivables held for sale.  Impairment charges recorded on assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis were as follows:  Three Months Ended

The fair values disclosed in the tables above are unadjusted for transaction costs as required by the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements. The amounts recorded on the balance sheet are net of transaction costs as required by the authoritative guidance for accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets.  In accordance with the authoritative guidance for the accounting for certain mortgage banking activities, we wrote down certain finance receivables held for sale reported in our centralized real estate business segment to their fair value for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and recorded the writedowns in other revenues. We did not record any impairment charges on our finance receivables held for sale during the six months ended June 30, 2010.   Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value  In accordance with the amended authoritative guidance for the fair value disclosures of financial instruments, we present the carrying values and estimated fair values of certain of our financial instruments below.

Unused customer credit limits----  38   FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS  VALUATION METHODOLOGIES AND ASSUMPTIONS  We used the following methods and assumptions to estimate fair value.   Finance Receivables  We estimated fair values of net finance receivables, less allowance for finance receivable losses using projected cash flows, computed by category of finance receivable, discounted at the weighted-average interest rates offered in the market for similar finance receivables at the balance sheet date. We based cash flows on contractual payment terms adjusted for delinquencies and estimates of finance receivable losses. The fair value estimates do not reflect the value of the underlying customer relationships or the related distribution systems.   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.   Finance Receivables Held for Sale  Originated as held for sale.We determined the fair value of finance receivables held for sale that were originated as held for sale by reference to available market indicators such as current investor yield requirements, outstanding forward sale commitments, or negotiations with prospective purchasers, if any.   Originated as held for investment.We determined the fair value of finance receivables held for sale that were originated as held for investment based on negotiations with prospective purchasers (if any) or by using projected cash flows discounted at the weighted-average interest rates offered for similar finance receivables. We based cash flows on contractual payment terms adjusted for estimates of prepayments and credit related losses.   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.  39   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 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.   Short-term Debt  We estimated the fair values of bank short-term debt using projected cash flows discounted at each balance sheet dates market-observable implicit-credit spread rates for similar types of borrowings with maturities consistent with those remaining for the short-term debt being valued. The fair values of the remaining short-term debt approximated the carrying values.  40   Unused Customer Credit Limits  The unused credit limits available to the customers of AIG Bank, which sells private label receivables to us under a participation agreement, and to our customers have no fair value. The interest rates charged on these facilities can be changed at AIG Banks discretion for private label, or are adjustable and reprice frequently for loan and retail revolving lines of credit. These amounts, in part or in total, can be cancelled at the discretion of AIG Bank or us.   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.  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. MorEquity paid $12.5 million to resolve the dispute.   Note 19.  Legal Contingencies  AGFC and certain of its subsidiaries are parties to various legal proceedings, including certain purported class action claims, arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these proceedings are pending in jurisdictions that permit damage awards disproportionate to the actual economic damages alleged to have been incurred. Based upon information presently available, we believe that the total amounts, if any, that will ultimately be paid arising from these legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial position. However, the continued occurrences of large damage awards in general in the United States, including, in some jurisdictions, large punitive damage awards that bear little or no relation to actual economic damages incurred by plaintiffs, create the potential for an unpredictable result in any given proceeding.   Note 20.  Subsequent Events  On August 10, 2010, AIG entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Acquiror, an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC. Under the Purchase Agreement, among other things, the Acquiror will indirectly acquire 80% of AGFI, and AIG will retain a 20% interest in the AGFI business. The parties expect that the FCFI Transaction will close by the end of the first quarter of 2011.  41   Each of AIG and the Acquiror has made certain customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Purchase Agreement. The closing of the FCFI Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of necessary regulatory approvals. In connection with entering into the Purchase Agreement, AIG and AGFI have agreed to amend their tax sharing agreement, which will terminate on the closing of the FCFI Transaction, (i) to provide that, subject to the closing of the FCFI Transaction, the parties payment obligations under the tax sharing agreement shall be limited to the payments required to be made by AIG to AGFI with respect to the 2009 taxable year in accordance with the tax sharing agreement, and (ii) to include the terms of the promissory note to be issued by AIG in satisfaction of its 2009 taxable year payment obligation to AGFI. The potential effect of the proposed FCFI Transaction on the Companys financial position and results of operations cannot be determined at this time.  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 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 on-balance sheet securitizations and borrowings; · 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, contractual delinquencies, and credit losses; · shifts in residential real estate values; · levels of unemployment and personal bankruptcies; · credit ratings actions on our debt; · constraints on our business resulting from the FRBNY Credit Agreement, including on our ability to pursue (and retain proceeds from) certain funding sources without AIG receiving prior consent from the FRBNY; · changes in laws, regulations, or regulatory policies and practices, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act) discussed in Regulation, 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 our participation in the HAMP; · the costs and effects of any litigation or governmental inquiries or investigations involving us, including 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 effects of the potential FCFI Transaction, whether or not consummated, and our ability to mitigate any adverse effects that may otherwise occur as a result of AIGs exploration of divestiture opportunities for certain of its businesses and assets; · the ability and intent of AIG to provide funding to us through February 28, 2011; · 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.  43   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, 2009). 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.   RECENT DEVELOPMENTS  On August 10, 2010, AIG entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Acquiror, an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC. Under the Purchase Agreement, among other things, the Acquiror will indirectly acquire 80% of AGFI, and AIG will retain a 20% interest in the AGFI business. The parties expect that the proposed FCFI Transaction will close by the end of the first quarter of 2011, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. The potential effect of the proposed FCFI Transaction on the Companys financial position and results of operations cannot be determined at this time.   GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATION  Liquidity of the Company  Since the events of September 2008 and through the filing of this report, our access to capital markets has been limited and obtained primarily through funding structures different than our more traditional borrowing transactions prior to 2008. This alternative funding approach was due to a combination of the challenges facing AIG, our operating results, downgrades of our debt credit ratings, and market concerns as to our available sources of funding following the turmoil in the capital markets beginning in 2008. While overall credit markets and our near-term liquidity position each have improved compared to late 2008 and much of 2009, we cannot determine when, or to what extent, access to our more traditional borrowing sources will become available to us again.   Progress on Managements Plan for Stabilization of the Company and Repayment of Our Obligations as They Become Due  In addition to finance receivable collections, management has developed initiatives to support our liquidity and raise capital to meet our financial and operating obligations. These initiatives include additional borrowings, on-balance sheet securitizations, portfolio sales, expense reductions, and branch closures, while continuing to limit our new lending. The exact nature and magnitude of any additional measures will be driven by our available resources and needs, prevailing market conditions, and the results of our operations.  During the first half of 2010, we made substantial progress in assessing our liquidity needs and continued to demonstrate our ability to manage liquidity and generate additional funding. In March 2010, we securitized $1.0 billion of real estate loans and sold $501.3 million in senior certificates (while retaining subordinated notes for possible future sale) and separately received AIGs repayment of its $1.6 billion in demand promissory notes to us. In April 2010, we executed and fully drew down on a $3.0 billion five-year secured term loan. AGFC and AGFI used a portion of the proceeds from these transactions to repay the $2.450 billion one-year term loans in March 2010 ($2.050 billion repaid by AGFC and $400.0 million repaid by AGFI) and the AGFC $2.125 billion multi-year credit facility in April 2010, both prior to their due dates in July 2010. With these repayments, there are no remaining AGFC or AGFI debt agreements that require AGFC to maintain a minimum specified dollar amount of AGFC consolidated net worth, or require AIG to maintain majority ownership of AGFC or AGFI. Based upon our estimates and taking into account the risks and uncertainties of operating plans, we believe that we will have adequate liquidity to  44   finance and operate our businesses and repay our obligations as they become due for at least the next twelve months.  As disclosed in AIGs Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2010, based on our level of increased liquidity and expected future sources of funding, including future cash flows from operations, AIG expects that we will be able to meet our existing obligations as they become due for at least the next twelve months solely from our own future cash flows. Therefore, while AIG has acknowledged its intent to support us through February 28, 2011, at the current time AIG believes that any further extension of such support will not be necessary.  On August 10, 2010, AIG entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Acquiror, an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC. Under the Purchase Agreement, among other things, the Acquiror will indirectly acquire 80% of AGFI, and AIG will retain a 20% interest in the AGFI business. The parties expect that the proposed FCFI Transaction will close by the end of the first quarter of 2011, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. The potential effect of the proposed FCFI Transaction on the Companys financial position and results of operations cannot be determined at this time.  45   Managements Assessment and Conclusion  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 higher performing assets for on-balance sheet 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, on-balance sheet securitizations, portfolio sales, 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 will affect profitability; · our ability to comply with our debt covenants; · our significant reliance upon debt to fund our operations; · our access to unsecured debt markets and other sources of funding, and the potential increased cost of funding sources as compared to historic borrowing rates; · adverse credit ratings actions on our debt; · constraints on our business resulting from the FRBNY Credit Agreement and other AIG agreements, including limitations on our ability to pursue (and retain proceeds from) certain funding sources, such as additional on-balance sheet securitizations and portfolio sales, without AIG receiving prior consent from the FRBNY; · 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; · the ability and intent of AIG to provide funding to us through February 28, 2011, including as a result of the proposed FCFI Transaction; and · the potential adverse effect on us relating to intercompany transactions with AIG, including derivatives and intercompany borrowings, if AIGs liquidity position deteriorates or if AIG is not able to continue as a going concern.  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. If one or more of these possible outcomes is realized and third party financing is not available, we may need additional support to meet our obligations as they become due. Under these adverse assumptions, without additional support in the future, there could exist substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  In addition, the potential effect of the proposed FCFI Transaction on the Companys financial position and results of operations cannot be determined at this time.  46   CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY  Capital Resources  Our capital has varied primarily with the amount of net finance receivables. We have historically based our mix of debt and equity, or leverage, primarily upon maintaining leverage that supports cost-effective funding.

We have historically issued a combination of fixed-rate debt, principally long-term, and floating-rate debt, both long-term and short-term. AGFC obtained our fixed-rate funding by issuing public or private long-term unsecured debt with maturities primarily ranging from three to ten years. Until September 2008, AGFC obtained most of our floating-rate funding by issuing and refinancing commercial paper and by issuing long-term, floating-rate unsecured debt. We issued such commercial paper, with maturities ranging from 1 to 270 days, to banks, insurance companies, corporations, and other institutional investors. At June 30, 2010, we had no issuances of commercial paper outstanding.  Historically, we targeted our leverage to be a ratio of 7.5x 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 AGFC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 AGFC in a Rule 144A/Regulation S offering. AGFC can redeem the debentures at par beginning in January 2017. Based upon the equity-like terms of these junior subordinated debentures, our leverage calculation treats the hybrid debt as 75% equity and 25% debt.  Due to the Companys and AIG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 our target leverage. This focus will likely continue as long as the availability of cost-effective funding sources limits our funding activities, and thereby could result in AGFCs actual leverage being different than our historical target leverage. Our adjusted tangible leverage at June 30, 2010 was 6.24x compared to 7.84x at June 30, 2009, and 7.31x at December 31, 2009. In calculating June 30, 2010 leverage, management deducted $331.5 million of cash equivalents from adjusted debt, resulting in an effective adjusted tangible leverage of 6.12x (including the $750.0 million loaned to AIG under a demand note as a cash equivalent debt reduction would lower this June 30, 2010 leverage measurement to 5.84x). In calculating December 31, 2009 leverage, management deducted $1.1 billion of cash equivalents from adjusted debt, resulting in an effective adjusted tangible leverage of 6.88x (including the $1.6 billion loaned to AIG under a demand note as a cash equivalent debt reduction would lower this December 31, 2009 leverage measurement to 6.30x).  47   The Companys one-year term loan (previously, a 364-day facility), which was repaid on March 25, 2010, included a capital support agreement (for the benefit of the lenders under the facility) with AIG, whereby AIG agreed to cause AGFC to maintain: (a) a consolidated net worth (stockholders equity minus the amount of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss) of at least $2.2 billion; and (b) an adjusted tangible leverage at or below 8.0x (further adjusting for excess cash for a calculated support leverage). As a result of AGFCs and AGFIs repayment of their one-year term loans, the support agreement was terminated in accordance with its terms.  Additionally, AGFCs multi-year credit facility had a minimum consolidated net worth requirement of $1.8 billion. With the April 26, 2010 repayment of the $2.125 billion multi-year facility, AGFC no longer has a minimum consolidated net worth requirement under its senior debt obligations.  On April 21, 2010, AGFS Funding Company entered into and fully drew down a $3.0 billion, five-year term loan pursuant to the Credit Agreement among AGFS Funding Company, AGFC, and most of the consumer finance operating subsidiaries of AGFC (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 AGFC and by the Subsidiary Guarantors. In addition, other AGFC 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 AGFS Funding Company that was limited at the transaction date, in accordance with existing AGFC debt agreements, to approximately 10% of AGFCs consolidated net worth.  AGFS 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 AGFC. AGFC used the payments from Subsidiary Guarantors to, among other things, repay debt and fund operations.  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, as well as for AIG under the FRBNY Credit Agreement.  Based upon AGFCs financial results for the twelve months ended March 31, 2010, a mandatory trigger event occurred under AGFCs hybrid debt with respect to the hybrid debts semi-annual payment due in July 2010. The mandatory trigger event requires AGFC to defer interest payments to the junior subordinated debt holders unless AGFC 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. During July 2010, AIG caused AGFC to receive the non-debt capital funding necessary to satisfy the July 2010 interest payments required by AGFCs hybrid debt.

Due to the extraordinary events in the credit markets, 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 AGFC and $400.0 million drawn by AGFI) and the AGFC $2.125 billion multi-year facility. At June 30, 2009, AGFCs outstanding borrowings under the committed credit facilities totaled $4.2 billion.  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, AGFC and AGFI each repaid all of their respective outstanding obligations under their one-year term loans ($2.050 billion repaid by AGFC and $400.0 million repaid by AGFI). With these repayments, the related contractual support agreement between AGFC and AIG was terminated. On April 26, 2010, AGFC repaid its outstanding borrowings under the multi-year facility. With this repayment, AGFC terminated the borrowing commitments under the multi-year facility.  AGFC and certain of its subsidiaries also had an uncommitted credit facility of $75.0 million at June 30, 2010 and 2009. A portion of the uncommitted facility 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 the uncommitted credit facility at June 30, 2010 or 2009.  AGFC does not guarantee any borrowings of AGFI.   Liquidity  Our sources of funds have included cash flows from operations, issuances of long-term debt in domestic and foreign markets, short-term borrowings in the commercial paper market, borrowings from banks under credit facilities, sales of finance receivables, and securitizations. AGFC has also received capital contributions from its parent to support finance receivable growth and maintain targeted leverage and compliance with debt agreements. Subject to insurance regulations, we also have received dividends from our insurance subsidiaries.  While overall credit markets and our near-term liquidity position each have improved, we anticipate that our 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, on-balance sheet securitizations, or portfolio sales. We will also continue to limit our lending activities based on available funding and will focus on expense reductions.  49   The principal factors that could decrease our liquidity are customer non-payment, a decline in customer prepayments, and a prolonged inability to access capital market funding. We intend to support our liquidity position by operating the Company utilizing the following strategies:  · limiting originations and purchases of finance receivables and having restrictive underwriting standards and pricing for such loans; and · as needed, pursuing additional borrowings, on-balance sheet 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.  Principal sources and uses of cash were as follows:  Six Months Ended June 30,(dollars in millions)20102009Principal sources of cash:

During the first three months of 2010, we also received repayment of AIGs $1.6 billion demand promissory notes. AGFC and AGFI used a portion of the proceeds from these transactions to repay the $2.450 billion one-year term loans in March 2010 ($2.050 billion repaid by AGFC and $400.0 million repaid by AGFI) and the AGFC $2.125 billion multi-year credit facility in April 2010, both prior to their due dates in July 2010. On May 11, 2010, AGFC made a loan of $750.0 million to AIG that is payable on demand at any time, provided that notice of demand is delivered to AIG at least one business day prior to the date payment is demanded under the demand note agreement. The cash used to fund the AIG loan came from operations and AGFCs secured term loan.  50   CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES  Our Ability to Continue as a Going Concern  When assessing our ability to continue as a going concern, management must make judgments and estimates about the following:  · 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 higher performing assets for on-balance sheet 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, on-balance sheet securitizations, portfolio sales, 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 will affect profitability; · our ability to comply with our debt covenants; · our significant reliance upon debt to fund our operations; · our access to unsecured debt markets and other sources of funding, and the potential increased cost of funding sources as compared to historic borrowing rates; · adverse credit ratings actions on our debt; · constraints on our business resulting from the FRBNY Credit Agreement and other AIG agreements, including limitations on our ability to pursue (and retain proceeds from) certain funding sources, such as additional on-balance sheet securitizations and portfolio sales, without AIG receiving prior consent from the FRBNY; · 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; · the ability and intent of AIG to provide funding to us through February 28, 2011, including as a result of the proposed FCFI Transaction; and · the potential adverse effect on us relating to intercompany transactions with AIG, including derivatives and intercompany borrowings, if AIGs liquidity position deteriorates or if AIG is not able to continue as a going concern.  These factors, individually and collectively, will have a significant effect on our ability to generate sufficient cash to repay indebtedness as it becomes due and profitably operate our business.   Allowance for Finance Receivable Losses  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 by real estate loans, non-real estate loans, and retail sales finance.  51   We use migration analysis and the Monte Carlo technique as the principal tools to determine the appropriate amount of allowance for finance receivable losses. Both techniques are historically-based statistical techniques that attempt to predict the future amount of losses for existing pools of finance receivables. We validate the results of the models through the review of historical results by the Credit Strategy and Policy Committee.  Our migration analysis utilizes a rolling 12 months of historical data that is updated quarterly. The primary inputs for our migration analysis are (a) historical finance receivable balances, (b) historical delinquency, charge-off, recovery and repayment amounts, and (c) the current finance receivable balances in each stage of delinquency (i.e., current, greater than 30 days past due, greater than 60 days past due, etc.). The primary assumptions used in our migration analysis are the weighting of historical data and our estimate of the loss emergence period for the portfolio.  The Monte Carlo technique currently utilizes historical loan level data from January 2003 through the mid month of the current quarter and is updated quarterly. The primary inputs for Monte Carlo are the historical finance receivable accounts, the variability in account migration through the various stages of delinquency (i.e., the probability of a loan moving from 30 days past due to 60 days past due in any given month), and average charge-off amounts. The primary assumptions used in our Monte Carlo analysis are the loss emergence period for the portfolio and average charge-off amounts. The program currently employs a discrete method of incorporating economic conditions with a set of matrices, each of which represents a historical month of data. Each matrix is therefore representative of certain seasonal and secular economic conditions, and the probability of selecting a given matrix during the simulation increases as the simulated economic conditions approach those represented by the matrix.  We consider the current and historical levels of nonaccrual loans in our analysis of the allowance by factoring the delinquency status of loans into both the migration analysis and Monte Carlo technique. We classify loans as nonaccrual based on our accounting policy, which is based on the delinquency status of the loan. As delinquency is a primary input into our migration analysis and Monte Carlo scenarios, we inherently consider nonaccrual loans in our estimate of the allowance for finance receivable losses.  The allowance for finance receivable losses related to our TDRs is calculated in homogeneous aggregated pools of impaired loans 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.  Changes in housing prices and the related impact on homeowners equity is one factor that influences borrower decisions regarding whether to continue making payments on their real estate loan. The delinquency and losses resulting from these borrower decisions are incorporated in our allowance models as described above.  We generally obtain a current appraisal before closing a loan secured by real estate. In addition, when we complete foreclosure proceedings on a real estate loan, we obtain an unrelated partys valuation of the property, which is used to establish the value of the real estate owned.  We maintain our allowance for finance receivable losses at our estimated most predictive outcome of our adjusted migration and Monte Carlo scenarios. The most predictive outcome is the scenario within the migration and Monte Carlo scenario ranges that the Credit Strategy and Policy Committee has identified to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range considering how the analyses best represent the probable losses inherent in our portfolio at the balance sheet date, taking into account the relevant qualitative factors, observable trends, economic conditions and our historical experience with our portfolio.  52   The Credit Strategy and Policy Committee exercises its judgment, based on quantitative analyses, qualitative factors, and each committee members experience in the consumer finance industry, when determining the amount of the allowance for finance receivable losses. If the committees review concludes that an adjustment is necessary, we charge or credit this adjustment to expense through the provision for finance receivable losses. On a quarterly basis, AIGs Chief Credit Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of AIGs Financial Services Division review and approve the conclusions reached by the committee. We consider this estimate to be a critical accounting estimate that affects the net income of the Company in total and the pretax operating income of our branch and centralized real estate business segments. We document the adequacy of the allowance for finance receivable losses, the analysis of the trends in credit quality, and the current economic conditions considered by the Credit Strategy and Policy Committee to support its conclusions. See Analysis of Operating Results and Financial Condition - Provision for Finance Receivable Losses for further information on the allowance for finance receivable losses.   Valuation Allowance on Deferred Tax Assets  The authoritative guidance for the accounting for income taxes permits a deferred tax asset to be recorded if the asset meets a more likely than not standard (i.e., more than 50 percent likely) that the asset will be realized. Realization of our net deferred tax asset depends on our ability to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character within the carryforward periods of the jurisdictions in which the net operating and capital losses, deductible temporary differences and credits were generated. Because the realization of the deferred tax assets relies on a projection of future income, we view this as a critical accounting estimate.  When making our assessment about the realization of our deferred tax assets, we consider all available evidence, including:  · the nature, frequency, and severity of current and cumulative financial reporting losses; · the carryforward periods for the net operating and capital loss carryforwards; · the sources and timing of future taxable income, giving greater weight to discrete sources and to earlier future years in the forecast period; and · tax planning strategies that would be implemented, if necessary, to accelerate taxable amounts.   OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS  We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by SEC rules. We had no off-balance sheet exposure to loss associated with unconsolidated VIEs at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.   REGULATION  On July 21, 2010, the President of the United States signed into law the Dodd-Frank Act. This law, and the regulations to be promulgated under it, is likely to have an effect on our operations in terms of increased oversight of financial services products by the newly-created Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (the Bureau), and restrictions on terms for certain loans. The Bureau will have significant authority to implement and enforce Federal consumer financial laws, including the new protections established in the Dodd-Frank Act, as well as the authority to identify and prohibit unfair and deceptive acts and practices. In addition, the Bureau will have broad supervisory, examination and enforcement authority over certain consumer products, such as mortgage lending. The Dodd-Frank Act also restricts certain terms for mortgage loans, such as loan fees, prepayment fees and other charges, and imposes certain duties on a lender to ensure that a borrower can afford to repay the loan. Going forward, securitizations of loan portfolios may be subject to certain restrictions and additional requirements under  53   the Dodd-Frank Act, including a requirement that the originator retain at least 5% of the credit risk of the securities sold. The law and accompanying regulations will be phased in over a one to three year period.  It is not possible to estimate the precise effect of the Dodd-Frank Act on our operations at this time because the law requires extensive rule-making, which will take up to three years to complete and implement.  54   SEGMENTS  See Note 15 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our business segments.

(FICO) Credit Scores  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, 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.  FICO-delineated prime, non-prime, and sub-prime categories for net finance receivables for the business segments were as follows:  June 30,(dollars in millions)20102009Net finance receivables:

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 whose rights 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.  58   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):  DelinquencyAverageAverage(dollars in millions)AmountRatioLTVFICOJune 30, 2010

Earnings were inadequate to cover total fixed charges by $9.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $48.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Earnings were inadequate to cover total fixed charges by $231.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and $468.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  60   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 the first half of 2010. These market disruptions negatively impacted our results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.  Decreased property values that accompany a market downturn can reduce a borrowers ability to refinance his or her mortgage. In addition, interest rate resets on adjustable-rate loans could negatively impact a borrowers ability to repay. Defaults by borrowers 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 income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 reflected lower provision for finance receivable losses, higher other revenues resulting from foreign exchange gains on foreign currency denominated debt, higher benefit from income taxes, and higher finance receivables held for sale originated as held for investment revenues, partially offset by lower finance charges primarily resulting from the 2009 sales of real estate loan portfolios as part of our liquidity management efforts. See Provision for Finance Receivable Losses, Other Revenues, Benefit from Income Taxes, Finance Receivables Held for Sale Originated as Held for Investment Revenues, and Finance Charges for further information.  Benefit from income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 reflected AIGs projection that it will have sufficient taxable income in 2010 to utilize our current year estimated tax losses. As a result, we had classified $107.1 million, the tax effect of our 2010 losses, as a current tax receivable. See Benefit from Income Taxes for further information.  See Note 15 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the results of the Companys business segments.

We transfer finance receivables to finance receivables held for sale when it is probable that, as part of our liquidity management efforts, managements intent or ability is to no longer hold those finance receivables for the foreseeable future. During 2009, we transferred $1.8 billion of real estate loans from finance receivables to finance receivables held for sale.  In February 2010, we transferred $170.7 million of real estate loans at the lower of cost or fair value from finance receivables held for sale back to finance receivables held for investment in preparation for an on-balance sheet securitization that was completed in March 2010. In June 2010, we transferred $484.9 million of real estate loans at the lower of cost or fair value from finance receivables held for sale back to finance receivables held for investment due to managements intent to hold these finance receivables for the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2010, it is probable that we will hold the remainder of the finance receivable portfolio for the foreseeable future.

Based on negotiations with prospective purchasers, we determined that a mark to market provision on finance receivables held for sale originated as held for investment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 of $68.7 million and $78.4 million, respectively, was necessary to reduce the carrying amount of these finance receivables held for sale to fair value.  64   Investment Revenue    Three Months EndedSix Months EndedJune 30,June 30,(dollars in millions)2010200920102009Investment revenue$10.6$14.7$18.3$23.4Amount change$(4.1)$  8.0$(5.1)$  0.5Percent change(28)%120%(22)%2%   Investment revenue was affected by the following:  Three Months EndedSix Months EndedJune 30,June 30,(dollars in millions)2010200920102009Average invested assets$937.7$900.1$941.9$902.5Average invested asset yield5.85%5.84%5.65%5.88%Net realized (losses) gains on investment securities$  (1.9)$    1.2$  (7.1)$  (4.4)   Other Revenues  Other revenues were as follows:  Three Months EndedSix Months EndedJune 30,June 30,(dollars in millions)2010200920102009Foreign exchange gain (loss) on foreign currency

Derivative adjustments for the three months ended June 30, 2010 included a mark to market loss of $61.4 million on our non-designated cross currency derivative and an ineffectiveness loss of $20.8 million on our cash flow derivatives. These losses were partially offset by a credit valuation adjustment gain of $3.8 million on our non-designated cross currency derivative.  65   Other revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2010 reflected foreign exchange gains on foreign currency denominated debt that were not fully offset by losses arising from derivative adjustments. Derivative adjustments for the six months ended June 30, 2010 included a mark to market loss of $95.7 million on our non-designated cross currency derivative and an ineffectiveness loss of $28.0 million on our cash flow derivatives. These losses were partially offset by an other comprehensive income release gain of $68.8 million on cash flow hedge maturities and a credit valuation adjustment gain of $12.9 million on our non-designated cross currency derivative.  The loss in other revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 reflected losses arising from foreign exchange losses on foreign currency denominated debt and derivative adjustments. Derivative adjustments for the three months ended June 30, 2009 included a credit valuation adjustment loss of $38.4 million on our non-designated cross currency derivative, partially offset by an ineffectiveness gain of $9.2 million. Derivative adjustments for the six months ended June 30, 2009 included a credit valuation adjustment loss of $36.8 million on our non-designated cross currency derivative and an ineffectiveness loss of $15.0 million on our fair value and cash flow derivatives. Due to the de-designation of our fair value hedge on April 1, 2009, we recorded a foreign exchange loss of $38.7 million, partially offset by a derivative adjustment gain of $26.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.  The credit valuation adjustment gains on our non-designated cross currency derivative for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 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 do not anticipate exiting these derivatives prior to maturity. These derivatives are with AIGFP.   Interest Expense  The impact of using the swap agreements that qualify for hedge accounting under GAAP is included in interest expense and the related borrowing statistics below.

We used the proceeds of these long-term debt issuances to support our liquidity position.  In addition to the 5.15% coupon and sales discount, AGFCs reported interest expense on the senior certificates relating to our 2010 securitization will depend upon the actual repayment rates and losses experienced with respect to the underlying mortgage loans. The prevailing market conditions and any modification activities will also influence the performance of the mortgage loans, and therefore the actual annualized interest expense rate incurred by AGFC.

The credit ratings of AGFI and AGFC 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.  The following table presents the credit ratings of AGFI and AGFC as of August 11, 2010. 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. Ratings may also be withdrawn at our request. In parentheses, following the initial occurrence in the table of each rating, is an indication of that ratings relative rank within the agencys rating categories. That ranking refers only to the generic or major rating category and not to the modifiers appended to the rating by the rating agencies to denote relative position within such generic or major category. AGFC does not intend to disclose any future changes to, or suspensions or withdrawals of, these ratings except in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

The decrease in the number of employees in our branch business segment reflected 196 branch office closings in 2009 (including 145 branch offices closed during second quarter 2009). Due to economic conditions, we re-evaluated all of our business segments and other operations (including headquarters) in second quarter 2009, which resulted in the consolidation of certain branch operations and branch office closings throughout the United States and reductions in our number of employees.  Other operating expenses increased for the six months ended June 30, 2010 when compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to higher legal settlement expenses. See Note 18 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our legal settlements.  Operating expenses as a percentage of average net receivables increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 when compared to the same periods in 2009 primarily due to the decline in average net finance receivables, partially offset by lower operating expenses, both of which reflected our liquidity management efforts.

Charge-off coverage, which compares the allowance for finance receivable losses to net charge-offs (annualized), increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 when compared to the same periods in 2009 primarily due to higher allowance for finance receivable losses and lower net charge-offs.

The increase in total delinquency ratio at June 30, 2010 was partially offset by a decline in the non-real estate loan delinquency ratio reflecting our tighter underwriting guidelines.  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, 2010 when compared to June 30, 2009 was primarily due to increases to the allowance for finance receivable losses through the provision for finance receivable losses during the second half of 2009 in response to our higher delinquency. The allowance for finance receivable losses at June 30, 2010 also included $413.3 million related to TDRs, compared to $132.2 million at June 30, 2009. See Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our TDRs.  The increase in the allowance ratio at June 30, 2010 when compared to June 30, 2009 was primarily due to a decline in finance receivables and increases to the allowance for finance receivable losses through the provision for finance receivable losses during the second half of 2009.  Real estate owned decreased to $141.8 million at June 30, 2010 from $144.0 million at June 30, 2009.  71   Insurance Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses  Insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses were as follows:  Three Months EndedSix Months EndedJune 30,June 30,(dollars in millions)2010200920102009Claims incurred$15.6$20.4$33.6$41.6Change in benefit reserves(4.4)(3.9)(6.8)(8.3)Total$11.2$16.5$26.8$33.3Amount change$(5.3)$  0.4$(6.5)$  0.7Percent change(32)%2%(19)%2%   Insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 when compared to the same periods in 2009 primarily due to lower credit involuntary unemployment and credit-related property and casualty claims incurred.

Benefit from income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 reflected AIGs projection that it will have sufficient taxable income in 2010 to utilize our current year estimated tax losses. As a result, we had classified $107.1 million, the tax effect of our 2010 losses, as a current tax receivable. However, on August 10, 2010, AIG entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Acquiror, an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC. In connection with entering into the Purchase Agreement, AIG and AGFI have agreed to amend their tax sharing agreement, which will terminate on the closing of FCFI Transaction, (i) to provide that, subject to the closing of the FCFI Transaction, the parties payment obligations under the tax sharing agreement shall be limited to the payments required to be made by AIG to AGFI with respect to the 2009 taxable year in accordance with the tax sharing agreement, and (ii) to include the terms of the promissory note to be issued by AIG in satisfaction of its 2009 taxable year payment obligation to AGFI. If the closing of the FCFI Transaction occurs, we will not be reimbursed for our 2010 current tax benefit of $107.1 million. See Note 20 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion regarding the Purchase Agreement.  72   Benefit from income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 reflected the reclassification of our losses to deferred tax assets that were subject to a full valuation allowance.  As of June 30, 2010, we had a deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $439.7 million, compared to $521.3 million at December 31, 2009, to reduce net deferred tax assets to amounts we considered more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50 percent) to be realized. After the valuation allowance, we had a net deferred tax asset of $5.6 million at June 30, 2010 and $9.1 million at December 31, 2009, which reflected the net deferred tax asset of our Puerto Rico subsidiary. Realization of our net deferred tax asset depends on the ability of the relevant subsidiary to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character within the carryforward periods of the jurisdictions in which the net operating and capital losses, deductible temporary differences and credits of that subsidiary were generated.  The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 reflected the increase in the benefit from income taxes discussed above.   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 based the mix of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt issuances, in part, on the nature of the finance receivables being supported.  We have historically issued fixed-rate, long-term unsecured debt as the primary source of fixed-rate debt. AGFC also has altered the nature of certain floating-rate funding by using swap agreements to create synthetic fixed-rate, long-term debt to limit our exposure to market interest rate increases. Additionally, AGFC has swapped fixed-rate, long-term debt interest payments to floating-rate interest payments. Including the impact of interest rate swap agreements that effectively fix floating-rate debt or float fixed-rate debt, our floating-rate debt represented 21% of our borrowings at June 30, 2010, compared to 27% at June 30, 2009. Adjustable-rate net finance receivables represented 5% of our total portfolio at June 30, 2010 and 2009. Some of our adjustable-rate real estate loans contain a fixed-rate for the first 24, 36, 48, or 60 months and then convert to an adjustable-rate for the remainder of the term. These real estate loans still in a fixed-rate period totaled $55.3 million and represented less than 1% of total real estate loans at June 30, 2010, compared to $163.2 million, or 1%, at June 30, 2009. Approximately $643.8 million, or 5%, of our real estate loans at June 30, 2010 are scheduled to reset by the end of 2010 and another $173.2 million, or 1%, by the end of 2011.  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.  73   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 June 30, 2010, 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 June 30, 2010 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.  74   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, 2009, 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 higher performing assets for on-balance sheet 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, on-balance sheet securitizations, portfolio sales, 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 will affect profitability; · our ability to comply with our debt covenants; · our significant reliance upon debt to fund our operations; · our access to unsecured debt markets and other sources of funding, and the potential increased cost of funding sources as compared to historic borrowing rates; · adverse credit ratings actions on our debt; · constraints on our business resulting from the FRBNY Credit Agreement and other AIG agreements, including limitations on our ability to pursue (and retain proceeds from) certain funding sources, such as additional on-balance sheet securitizations and portfolio sales, without AIG receiving prior consent from the FRBNY; · 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; · the ability and intent of AIG to provide funding to us through February 28, 2011, including as a result of the proposed FCFI Transaction; and · the potential adverse effect on us relating to intercompany transactions with AIG, including derivatives and intercompany borrowings, if AIGs liquidity position deteriorates or if AIG is not able to continue as a going concern.  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.  75   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. If one or more of these possible outcomes is realized and third party financing is not available, we may need additional support to meet our obligations as they become due. Under these adverse assumptions, without additional support in the future, there could exist substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  In addition, the potential effect of the proposed FCFI Transaction on the Companys financial position and results of operations cannot be determined at this time.   Recently enacted regulation reform may have a material impact on our operations.  On July 21, 2010, the President of the United States signed into law the Dodd-Frank Act. This law, and the regulations to be promulgated under it, is likely to have an effect on our operations in terms of increased oversight of financial services products by the Bureau, and restrictions on terms for certain loans. The Bureau will have significant authority to implement and enforce Federal consumer financial laws, including the new protections established in the Dodd-Frank Act, as well as the authority to identify and prohibit unfair and deceptive acts and practices. In addition, the Bureau will have broad supervisory, examination and enforcement authority over certain consumer products, such as mortgage lending. The Dodd-Frank Act also restricts certain terms for mortgage loans, such as loan fees, prepayment fees and other charges, and imposes certain duties on a lender to ensure that a borrower can afford to repay the loan. Going forward, securitizations of loan portfolios may be subject to certain restrictions and additional requirements under the Dodd-Frank Act, including a requirement that the originator retain at least 5% of the credit risk of the securities sold. The law and accompanying regulations will be phased in over a one to three year period.  It is not possible to estimate the precise effect of the Dodd-Frank Act on our operations at this time because the law requires extensive rule-making, which will take up to three years to complete and implement.
