           AMERICAN GENERAL FINANCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
           Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                             September 30, 2003



Note 1.  Principles of Consolidation

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



Note 2.  Adjustments and Reclassifications

We made all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, that we considered necessary for a fair statement of the
Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.  These
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and related notes included in our annual report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

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



Note 3.  Acquisition

Effective January 1, 2003, we acquired 100% of the common stock of
Wilmington Finance, Inc. (WFI), a majority owned subsidiary of WSFS
Financial Corporation, in a purchase business combination.  WFI
originates non-conforming residential real estate loans nationally,
primarily through broker relationships and, to a lesser extent,
directly to consumers, and sells its originated loans to third party
investors with servicing released to the purchaser.  WFI also
provides, for a fee, marketing, certain origination processing
services, loan servicing, and related services for a non-subsidiary
affiliate's origination and sale of non-conforming residential real
estate loans.  WFI provides the Company with another source of revenue
through its gains on real estate loan sales and servicing fees.  The
purchase price was $120.8 million, consisting of $25.8 million for net
assets and $95.0 million for intangibles.  The majority of the
tangible assets acquired were real estate loans held for sale. We
included the results of WFI's operations in our financial statements
beginning January 1, 2003, the effective date of the acquisition, and
originally classified the $95.0 million of intangibles as goodwill
pending an independent valuation.  We finalized an independent
valuation of the intangibles in second quarter 2003 and reclassified
$40.8 million from goodwill to WFI other intangibles.  Goodwill and
WFI other intangibles are both included in other assets.  WFI other
intangibles primarily consisted of broker relationships and non-
compete agreements and had an initial weighted-average amortization
period of 9 years.

Note 4.  Accounting Change

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

Note 7.  Derivative Financial Instruments

AGFC uses derivative financial instruments in managing the cost of its
debt and is neither a dealer nor a trader in derivative financial
instruments.  AGFC has generally limited its use of derivative
financial instruments to interest rate swap agreements.  These
interest rate swap agreements are designated and qualify as cash flow
hedges or fair value hedges.

AGFC uses interest rate swap agreements to limit our exposure to
market interest rate risk in the funding of our operations.  Most of
our swaps synthetically convert certain short-term or floating-rate
debt to a long-term fixed-rate.  The synthetic long-term fixed rates
achieved through interest rate swap agreements are slightly lower than
could have been achieved by issuing comparable fixed-rate, long-term
debt.  Additionally, AGFC has swapped fixed-rate, long-term debt to
floating-rate, long-term debt.  As an alternative to funding without
these derivative financial instruments, AGFC's interest rate swap
agreements did not have a material effect on the Company's net income
during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 or 2002.



Note 8.  Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Note 9.  Segment Information

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

Note 10.  Legal Contingencies

AGFC and certain of its subsidiaries are parties to various lawsuits
and proceedings, including certain purported class action claims,
arising in the ordinary course of business.  In addition, many of
these proceedings are pending in jurisdictions, such as Mississippi,
that permit damage awards disproportionate to the actual economic
damages alleged to have been incurred.  Based upon information
presently available, we believe that the total amounts that will
ultimately be paid arising from these lawsuits and proceedings will
not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of
operations or financial position.  However, the continued occurrences
of large damage awards in general in the United States, including
large punitive damage awards that bear little or no relation to actual
economic damages incurred by plaintiffs in some jurisdictions, create
the potential for an unpredictable judgment in any given suit.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
         and Results of Operations.


                 REPORT OF MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY

The Company's management is responsible for the integrity and fair
presentation of our condensed consolidated financial statements and
all other financial information presented in this report.  We prepared
our condensed consolidated financial statements using accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).  We made
estimates and assumptions that affect amounts recorded in the
financial statements and disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities.

The Company's management is responsible for establishing and
maintaining an internal control structure and procedures for financial
reporting.  These systems are designed to provide reasonable assurance
that assets are safeguarded from loss or unauthorized use, that
transactions are recorded according to GAAP under management's
direction and that financial records are reliable to prepare financial
statements.  We support the internal control structure with careful
selection, training and development of qualified personnel.  The
Company's employees are subject to AIG's Code of Conduct designed to
assure that all employees perform their duties with honesty and
integrity.  We do not allow loans to executive officers.  The systems
include a documented organizational structure and policies and
procedures that we communicate throughout the Company. Our internal
auditors report directly to AIG to strengthen independence.  They
continually monitor the operation of our internal controls and report
their findings to the Company's management and AIG's internal audit
department.  We take prompt action to correct control deficiencies and
address opportunities for improving the system.  The Company's
management assesses the adequacy of our internal control structure
quarterly.  Based on these assessments, management has concluded that
the internal control structure and the procedures for financial
reporting have functioned effectively and that the condensed
consolidated financial statements fairly present our consolidated
financial position and the results of our operations for the periods
presented.
<PAGE> 14

                      FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and our other publicly available
documents may include, and the Company's officers and representatives
may from time to time make, statements which may constitute "forward-
looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These statements are not historical
facts but instead represent only our belief regarding future events,
many of which are inherently uncertain and outside of our control.
These statements may address, among other things, the Company's
strategy for growth, product development, regulatory approvals, market
position, financial results and reserves.  The Company's actual
results and financial condition may differ, possibly materially, from
the anticipated results and financial condition indicated in these
forward-looking statements.  The important factors, many of which are
outside of our control, which could cause the Company's actual results
to differ, possibly materially, include, but are not limited to, the
following:

     *  changes in general economic conditions, including the interest
        rate environment in which we conduct business and the
        financial markets through which we access capital;
     *  changes in the competitive environment in which we operate,
        including the demand for our products, customer responsiveness
        to our distribution channels and the formation of business
        combinations among our competitors;
     *  the effectiveness of our credit risk scoring models in
        assessing the risk of customer unwillingness or inability to
        repay;
     *  shifts in collateral values, contractual delinquencies, credit
        losses and the levels of unemployment and personal
        bankruptcies;
     *  changes in laws or regulations that affect our ability to
        conduct business or the manner in which we conduct business,
        such as licensing requirements, pricing limitations or
        restrictions on the method of offering products;
     *  the costs and effects of any litigation or governmental
        inquiries or investigations that are determined adversely to
        the Company;
     *  changes in accounting standards or tax policies and practices
        and the application of such new policies and practices to the
        manner in which we conduct business;
     *  our ability to integrate the operations of our acquisitions
        into our businesses;
     *  changes in our ability to attract and retain employees or key
        executives to support our businesses; and
     *  natural events and acts of God such as fires or floods
        affecting our branches or other operating facilities.

Readers are also directed to other risks and uncertainties discussed
in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  We are under no obligation to (and expressly disclaim any
such obligation to) update or alter any forward-looking statement,
whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether
as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
<PAGE> 15

                     CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our Credit Strategy and Policy Committee evaluates our finance
receivable portfolio monthly.  The Credit Strategy and Policy
Committee exercises its judgment, based on quantitative analyses and
each committee member's experience in the consumer finance industry,
when determining the amount of the allowance for finance receivable
losses.  If its review concludes that an adjustment is necessary, we
charge or credit this adjustment to expense through the provision for
finance receivable losses.  We consider this estimate to be a critical
accounting estimate that affects the net income of the Company in
total and the pretax operating income of our consumer finance business
segment.  We document the adequacy of the allowance for finance
receivable losses and the analysis of the trends in credit quality
considered by the Credit Strategy and Policy Committee to support its
conclusions.


                    OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

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


                    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

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

In second quarter 2003, AGFC began issuing long-term debt under a
retail note program.  These senior, unsecured notes are sold by
brokers to individual investors for a minimum investment of $1,000 and
increments of $1,000.

Also in second quarter 2003, a consolidated special purpose subsidiary
of AGFI purchased $266.8 million of real estate loans from seven
subsidiaries of AGFC.

We believe that our overall sources of liquidity will continue to be
sufficient to satisfy our foreseeable operational requirements and
financial obligations.  The principal risk factors that could decrease
our sources of liquidity are delinquent payments from our customers
and an inability to access capital markets.  The principal factors
that could increase our cash needs are significant increases in net
originations and purchases of finance receivables.  We intend to
mitigate liquidity risk factors by continuing to operate the Company
within the following strategies:

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

Consistent execution of our business strategies should result in
continued profitability, strong credit ratings, and investor
confidence.  These results should allow continued access to capital
markets for issuances of our commercial paper and long-term debt.  At
September 30, 2003, we had $2.8 billion of long-term debt securities
registered under the Securities Act of 1933 that had not yet been
issued from an initial $5.75 billion.  We also maintain committed bank
credit facilities and the ability to sell a portion of our finance
receivables for securitization to provide additional sources of
liquidity for needs potentially not met through other funding sources.

Tangible equity                            $ 1,766.9     $ 1,590.9


Our capital varies primarily with the level of net finance
receivables.  The increase in total capital at September 30, 2003 when
compared to September 30, 2002 was greater than our finance receivable
growth for the same period due to capital required to support the
acquisition of WFI and its operations.  The capital mix of debt and
equity is based primarily upon maintaining leverage that supports
cost-effective funding.

We issue a combination of fixed-rate debt, principally long-term, and
floating-rate debt, principally short-term.  AGFC obtains our fixed-
rate funding through public issuances of long-term debt with
maturities generally ranging from three to ten years.  Most floating-
rate funding is through AGFC sales and refinancing of commercial paper
and through AGFC issuance of long-term, floating-rate debt.
Commercial paper, with maturities ranging from 1 to 270 days, is sold
to banks, insurance companies, corporations, and other accredited
investors.  At September 30, 2003, short-term debt included $2.8
billion of commercial paper.  AGFC also sells extendible commercial
notes with initial maturities of up to 90 days, which may be extended
by AGFC to 390 days.  At September 30, 2003, short-term debt included
$560.9 million of extendible commercial notes.

AGFC has paid dividends to (or received capital contributions from)
AGFI to manage our leverage of debt to tangible equity (equity less
goodwill and accumulated other comprehensive income) to a 7.5 to 1
target.  Certain AGFC financing agreements effectively limit the
amount of dividends AGFC may pay.  These agreements have not prevented
AGFC from managing its capital to targeted leverage.
<PAGE> 18

Liquidity Facilities

We maintain credit facilities to support the issuance of commercial
paper and to provide an additional source of funds for operating
requirements.  At September 30, 2003, AGFC had committed credit
facilities totaling $3.0 billion, including a facility under which
AGFI is an eligible borrower for up to $300.0 million.  The annual
commitment fees for the facilities currently average 0.07% and are
based upon AGFC's long-term credit ratings.

At September 30, 2003, AGFC and certain of its subsidiaries also had
uncommitted credit facilities (including shared uncommitted facilities
with AGFI) totaling $50.0 million which could be increased depending
upon lender ability to participate its loans under the facilities.

Available borrowings under all facilities are reduced by any
outstanding borrowings.  There were no amounts outstanding at
September 30, 2003 or September 30, 2002.  AGFC guarantees its
subsidiary borrowings under uncommitted credit facilities.  AGFC does
not guarantee any borrowings of AGFI.

In 2002, the low interest rate environment caused significant
increases in both originations and liquidations of our real estate
loans.  However, we took advantage of the record real estate loan
refinancings that occurred in the market in general and acquired
$843.5 million of real estate loan portfolios from third party
originators during the fourth quarter of 2002.

Yield by type and changes in yield in basis points (bp) when compared

Yield decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003
when compared to the same periods in 2002 primarily reflecting a lower
real estate loan yield resulting from the low interest rate
environment.

Earned premiums decreased for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2003 when compared to the same periods in 2002 due to
the release of premiums resulting from the termination of a
reinsurance agreement and lower premium volume.  Premium volume
decreased due to customers purchasing fewer non-credit insurance
products.

Other revenues increased for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2003 when compared to the same periods in 2002 primarily due to
the acquisition of WFI in first quarter 2003 which resulted in net
gain on sale of real estate loans held for sale, higher service fee
income from a non-subsidiary affiliate, and net interest income on
real estate loans held for sale in 2003.  The increase in other
revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 when compared to
the same period in 2002 also reflected net gain on sale of finance
receivables to a subsidiary of AGFI for securitization.

Effective July 1, 2003, WFI and a non-subsidiary affiliate entered
into an agreement whereby, for a fee, WFI provides marketing, certain
origination processing services, loan servicing, and related services
for the affiliate's origination and sale of non-conforming residential
real estate loans.  These WFI service activities have supplanted much
of WFI's origination and sales activity and are anticipated to do so
going forward.  As a result, net gain on sale of real estate loans
held for sale and net interest income on real estate loans held for
sale were lower for the three months ended September 30, 2003 when
compared to the three months ended June 30, 2003.  However, service

fee income from the non-subsidiary affiliate was higher for the three
months ended September 30, 2003 when compared to the three months
ended June 30, 2003.

AGFC issued $3.2 billion of long-term debt during the last twelve
months.  The proceeds of these long-term debt issuances were used to
support finance receivable growth and to refinance maturing debt.

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

Federal Reserve actions lowered the federal funds rate 50 basis points
in November 2002 and 25 basis points in June 2003 which resulted in
lower short-term debt rates and lower rates on floating-rate long-term
debt for 2003.  Federal Reserve actions from 2001 through June 2003
created the lowest interest rate environment in 45 years and resulted
in lower long-term debt rates as new issuances were at substantially
lower rates than long-term debt being refinanced.

Salaries and benefits increased for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2003 when compared to the same periods in 2002 primarily
due to the addition of approximately 500 WFI employees in first
quarter 2003, competitive compensation, and rising benefit costs.  The
increase in operating expenses as a percentage of average net
receivables for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003
when compared to the same periods in 2002 reflected increased
operating expenses due to the acquisition of WFI.  In addition, WFI
originations are classified as real estate loans held for sale, which
are included in other assets and not in net finance receivables.

The decrease in total charge-off ratio for the three and nine months

The delinquency ratio at September 30, 2003 decreased when compared to
September 30, 2002 reflecting a higher proportion of net finance
receivables that are real estate loans, partially offset by the sale
of real estate loans to a subsidiary of AGFI for securitization in
second quarter 2003.

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 decrease in the
allowance for finance receivable losses at September 30, 2003 when
compared to September 30, 2002 was due to the net result of the
following:

     *  decrease to the allowance for finance receivable losses of
        $9.4 million during fourth quarter 2002 resulting from the
        final determination of allowance for finance receivable losses
        for a third quarter 2002 purchase business combination;
     *  net increases to the allowance for finance receivable losses
        through the provision for finance receivable losses during the
        period totaling $9.0 million (these increases were in response
        to our increased delinquency and net charge-offs and the
        levels of both unemployment and personal bankruptcies in the
        United States); and
     *  decrease to the allowance for finance receivable losses during
        second quarter 2003 of $2.7 million resulting from the sale of
        finance receivables to a subsidiary of AGFI for
        securitization.

The allowance as a percentage of net finance receivables declined in
2003 reflecting purchases of higher quality real estate loans during
the last twelve months.

Charge-off coverage, which compares the allowance for finance
receivable losses to net charge-offs (annualized), decreased for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 when compared to the
same periods in 2002 reflecting higher net charge-offs.

The decline in insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 when compared to the
same periods in 2002 reflected the release of benefit reserves
resulting from the termination of a reinsurance agreement, lower
premium volume of our non-credit life products, and decreases in
claims paid.

Provision for income taxes increased for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2003 when compared to the same periods in 2002 due
to higher taxable income and higher effective income tax rate.


Asset/Liability Management

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

We limit our exposure to market interest rate increases by fixing
interest rates that we pay for term periods.  The primary means by
which we accomplish this is by issuing fixed-rate debt.  To supplement
fixed-rate debt issuances, AGFC also alters the nature of certain
floating-rate funding by using interest rate swap agreements to
synthetically create fixed-rate, long-term debt, thereby limiting our
exposure to market interest rate increases.  Additionally, AGFC has
swapped fixed-rate, long-term debt to floating-rate, long-term debt.
Including the effect of interest rate swap agreements that effectively
fix floating-rate debt or float fixed-rate debt, our floating-rate
debt represented 41% of our average borrowings for the three months
and nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to 35% for the three
months ended September 30, 2002 and 33% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.


(a)  Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

     The conclusions of our principal executive officer and principal
     financial officer about the effectiveness of the Company's
     disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluation of
     these controls and procedures as of September 30, 2003 are as
     follows:

     The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to
     ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company
     is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required
     timeframes.  The Company's disclosure controls and procedures
     include controls and procedures designed to ensure that
     information required to be disclosed is accumulated and
     communicated to the Company's management, including its principal
     executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate
     to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

     The Company's management, including its principal executive
     officer and principal financial officer, assesses the adequacy of
     our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of each
     quarter.  Based on these assessments, the Company's principal
     executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded
     that the disclosure controls and procedures have functioned
     effectively and that the condensed consolidated financial
     statements fairly present our consolidated financial position and
     the results of our operations for the periods presented.

(b)  Changes in internal control over financial reporting

     There was no change in the Company's internal control over
     financial reporting, that occurred during the three months ended
     September 30, 2003, that has materially affected, or is
     reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal
     control over financial reporting.
