Item 1.  Business.

                                GENERAL

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".  AGFC was incorporated in Indiana
in 1927 as successor to a business started in 1920.  All of the common
stock of AGFC is owned by American General Finance, Inc. (AGFI), which
was incorporated in Indiana in 1974.  Since 1982, AGFI has been a
direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of American General
Corporation (American General).

On August 29, 2001, American International Group, Inc. (AIG) acquired
American General.  As a result of this transaction, the Company is a
wholly owned indirect subsidiary of AIG, a Delaware corporation.  AIG
is a holding company which through its subsidiaries is engaged in a
broad range of insurance and insurance-related activities and financial
services in the United States and abroad.

AGFC is a financial services holding company with subsidiaries engaged
primarily in the consumer finance and credit insurance businesses.  We
conduct the credit insurance business to supplement our consumer
finance business through Merit Life Insurance Co. (Merit) and Yosemite
Insurance Company (Yosemite), which are both subsidiaries of AGFC.

At December 31, 2001, the Company had 1,362 offices in 43 states,
Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands and approximately 7,400
employees.  Our executive offices are located in Evansville, Indiana.

                      CONSUMER FINANCE OPERATIONS

The consumer finance operation makes loans directly to individuals,
offers retail sales financing to merchants, purchases portfolios of
finance receivables originated by others, and offers credit and non-
credit insurance through its 1,362 branch offices and its centralized
operational support.

We make home equity loans, originate secured and unsecured consumer
loans, and extend lines of credit.  We generally take a security
interest in the real property and/or personal property of the borrower.
At December 31, 2001, real estate loans accounted for 64% of the amount
and 9% of the number of net finance receivables outstanding, compared
to 62% of the amount and 8% of the number of net finance receivables
outstanding at December 31, 2000.  Real estate loans are secured by
first or second mortgages on residential real estate and generally have
maximum original terms of 360 months.  Non-real estate loans are
secured by consumer goods, automobiles, or other personal property or
are unsecured and generally have maximum original terms of 60 months.

We purchase retail sales contracts and provide revolving retail
services arising from the retail sale of consumer goods and services by
approximately 17,000 retail merchants.  We also purchase private label
receivables originated by AIG Federal Savings Bank, a non-subsidiary
affiliate of ours, arising from the sales by approximately 70 retail
merchants under a participation agreement.  Retail sales contracts are
closed-end accounts that consist of a single purchase.  Revolving
retail and private label are open-end revolving accounts that can be
used for repeated purchases.  Retail sales contracts are secured by the
real property or personal property giving rise to the contract and
generally have maximum original terms of 60 months.  Revolving retail
and private label are effectively secured by the goods purchased and
generally require minimum monthly payments based on outstanding
balances.

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 with customers that meet our credit
quality standards and profitability objectives.

We also offer credit life, credit accident and health, credit related
property and casualty, and non-credit insurance to our consumer finance
customers which insurance is issued by both affiliated and non-
affiliated insurance companies.  The benefits of these insurance
products for both our customers and the consumer finance operations are
described under "Insurance Operations".

Our primary source of new loan customers is retail sales finance
obligations that we purchase from merchants.  These customers have
demonstrated an apparent need to finance a retail purchase and a
willingness to use credit.  After purchase of the retail sales finance
obligation, we contact the customer using various solicitation methods.
We attempt to have the customer visit one of our branch offices to
discuss their overall financial needs with our consumer lending
specialists.  Any resulting loan may pay off the customer's retail
sales finance obligation and consolidate debts with other creditors.
At the time of loan origination, one of our consumer lending
specialists who is licensed to offer insurance products will explain
<PAGE> 6

Item 1.  Continued


the financial protection provided by our credit and non-credit
insurance products to provide information to the customer who will
determine whether to purchase one or more insurance products.

We also originate loans through our solicitation of current customers
obtained through portfolio acquisitions, as well as former customers
who have recently paid off their loans.  In addition, we purchase
customer lists from major list compilers based on our predetermined
selection criteria.  We target these potential customers using various
solicitation methods.  We also use various Internet loan application
sources, including our own website, to obtain potential customer
contacts.  We forward these applications to our branch offices where
consumer lending specialists contact potential customers in an attempt
to initiate a lasting relationship.

Our branch offices are supported by centralized administrative and
operational functions.  Our centralized operational support functions
include the following:

     *  revolving retail and private label processing;
     *  merchant services;
     *  retail sales finance approvals;
     *  real estate loan approvals;
     *  customer solicitations;
     *  retail sales finance collections;
     *  retail sales finance payment processing; and
     *  charge-off recovery operations.

We continually seek to identify functions that could be better handled
centrally, thereby freeing our consumer lending specialists to
concentrate on providing service to our customers.

See Note 20. of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item
8. for further information on the Company's consumer finance business
segment.


Finance Receivables

We carry finance receivables at amortized cost which includes accrued
finance charges on interest bearing finance receivables, unamortized
deferred origination costs, and unamortized net premiums and discounts
on purchased finance receivables.  They are net of unamortized finance
charges on precomputed receivables and unamortized points and fees.

Although a significant portion of insurance claims and policyholder
liabilities originate from the finance receivables, our policy is to
report them as liabilities and not net them against finance
receivables. Finance receivables relate to the financing activities of
our consumer finance business segment, and insurance claims and
policyholder liabilities relate to the underwriting activities of our
insurance business segment.

Average Net Receivables and Yield

We recognize finance charges as revenue on the accrual basis using the
interest method.  We amortize premiums and discounts on purchased
finance receivables as a revenue adjustment. We defer the costs to
originate certain finance receivables and the revenue from
nonrefundable points and fees on loans and amortize them to revenue on
the accrual basis using the interest method over the lesser of the
contractual term or the estimated life based upon prepayment
experience.  If a finance receivable liquidates before amortization is
completed, we charge or credit any unamortized premiums, discounts,
origination costs, or points and fees to revenue at the date of
liquidation.  We recognize late charges, prepayment penalties, and
extension fees as revenue when received.

We stop accruing revenue when the fourth contractual payment becomes
past due for loans and retail sales contracts and when the sixth
contractual payment becomes past due for revolving retail and private
label.  Beginning in third quarter 2001, in conformity with AIG policy,
we reverse amounts previously accrued upon suspension.  (Prior to AIG's
acquisition of American General, we did not reverse amounts previously
accrued upon suspension.)  After suspension, we recognize revenue for
loans and retail sales contracts only to the extent of any additional
payments we receive.

Finance Receivable Credit Quality Information

A risk in all consumer lending and retail sales financing transactions
is the customer's unwillingness or inability to repay obligations.
Unwillingness to repay is usually evidenced in a consumer's historical
credit repayment record.  An inability to repay occurs after our
initial credit evaluation and funding and usually results from lower
income due to unemployment or underemployment, major medical expenses,
or divorce.  Occasionally, these types of events are so economically
severe that the customer files for protection under the bankruptcy
laws.  We use credit risk scoring models at the time of borrower
application to help minimize the risk of unwillingness or inability to
repay.  These models are developed from past customer credit repayment
experience and are periodically revalidated based on current portfolio
performance.  We use these models to predict the relative likelihood of
credit applicants repaying their obligation to us.  These models also
provide some insight into the credit repayment performance of borrowers
under adverse economic circumstances, whether personal or global.  We
extend credit to those consumers who fit our risk guidelines as
determined by these models and, in some cases, manual underwriting.
Price and size of the loan or retail sales finance transaction are in
relation to the estimated credit risk assumed.

Our policy is to charge off each month to the allowance for finance
receivable losses non-real estate loans on which little or no
collections were made in the prior six months and retail sales finance
that are six installments past due.  We start foreclosure proceedings
on real estate loans when four monthly installments are past due.  When
foreclosure is completed and we have obtained title to the property, we
establish the real estate as an asset valued at fair value, and charge
off any loan amount in excess of that value to the allowance for
finance receivable losses.  We occasionally extend the charge-off
period for individual accounts when, in our opinion, such treatment is
warranted.  We increase the allowance for finance receivable losses for
recoveries on accounts previously charged off.

Net charge-offs and charge-off ratio by type of finance receivable were
as follows:

We establish the allowance for finance receivable losses primarily
through the provision for finance receivable losses charged to expense.
We believe the amount of the allowance for finance receivable losses is
the most significant estimate we make.  Our Credit Strategy and Policy
Committee evaluates our finance receivable portfolio monthly.  Within
our three main finance receivable types are sub-portfolios, each
consisting of a large number of relatively small, homogenous accounts.
We evaluate these sub-portfolios for impairment as groups.  None of our
accounts are large enough to warrant individual evaluation for
impairment.  Our Credit Strategy and Policy Committee considers
numerous factors in estimating losses inherent in our finance
receivable portfolio, including the following:

     *  current economic conditions;
     *  prior finance receivable loss and delinquency experience; and
     *  the composition of our finance receivable portfolio.

This review determines any adjustment necessary to maintain the
allowance for finance receivable losses at a level we consider adequate
to absorb future losses in the existing portfolio.  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 their conclusions.

                         INSURANCE OPERATIONS

Merit is a life and health insurance company domiciled in Indiana and
licensed in 45 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin
Islands.  Merit principally writes or assumes (through affiliated and
non-affiliated insurance companies) credit life, credit accident and
health, and non-credit insurance.

Yosemite is a property and casualty insurance company domiciled in
Indiana and licensed in 42 states.  Yosemite principally writes or
assumes credit-related property and casualty insurance.

Both Merit and Yosemite market their products through our consumer
finance operations.  Our credit life insurance policies insure the life
of the borrower in an amount typically equal to the unpaid balance of
the finance receivable and provide for payment in full to the lender of
the finance receivable in the event of the borrower's death.  Our
credit accident and health insurance policies provide for payment to
the lender of the installments on the finance receivable coming due
during a period of the borrower's disability due to illness or injury.
Our credit-related property and casualty insurance policies are written
either to protect the lender's interest in property pledged as security
for the finance receivable or to provide for payment to the lender of
the installments on the finance receivable coming due during a period
of the borrower's unemployment.  The purchase by the borrower of credit
life, credit accident and health, or credit-related property and
casualty insurance is voluntary with the exception of lender-placed
property damage coverage for automobiles, large equipment, dwellings,
and real estate pledged as collateral.  In these instances, we obtain
property damage coverage through Yosemite under the terms of the
lending agreement if the borrower does not provide evidence of coverage
with another insurance carrier.  The non-credit insurance policies are
primarily ordinary life level term coverage.  The purchase of this
coverage is voluntary.  Customers usually either finance premiums for
insurance products as part of the finance receivable or pay premiums on
a monthly basis, but they may pay the premiums in cash to the insurer.

Merit and Yosemite have entered into reinsurance agreements with other
insurance companies, including certain affiliated companies, for
assumption of various non-credit life, individual annuity, group
annuity, credit life, credit accident and health, and credit-related
property and casualty insurance where our insurance subsidiaries assume
the risk of loss.  The reserves for this business fluctuate over time
and in certain instances are subject to recapture by the insurer.  At
December 31, 2001, reserves on the books of Merit and Yosemite for
these reinsurance agreements totaled $114.0 million.

See Note 20. of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item
8. for further information on the Company's insurance business segment.

                             REGULATION

Consumer Finance

The Company is subject to various federal laws and regulations,
including the following:

     *  the Truth in Lending Act (governs disclosure of applicable
        charges and other finance receivable terms);
     *  the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (prohibits discrimination
        against credit-worthy applicants);
     *  the Fair Housing Act (prohibits discrimination in housing
        lending);
     *  the Fair Credit Reporting Act (governs the accuracy and use of
        credit bureau reports);
     *  the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (regulates certain
        loans secured by real estate);
     *  the Federal Trade Commission Act; and
     *  the Federal Reserve Board's Regulations B, C, P, and Z.

In many states, the Company relies on federal law to preempt state law
restrictions on interest rates and points and fees for first lien
residential mortgage loans.  The Company also relies on the Federal
Alternative Mortgage Transactions Parity Act in many states to preempt
state restrictions on variable rate loans, balloon payments and
prepayment penalties.  The Company makes residential mortgage loans
under the provisions of these and other federal laws.  The Company is
also subject to the Federal Privacy Act and the related regulations,
which generally require certain practices and disclosures when dealing
with consumer or customer information.

Various state laws also regulate our consumer lending and retail sales
financing businesses.  The degree and nature of such regulation vary
from state to state.  The laws under which a substantial amount of our
business is conducted generally:

     *  provide for state licensing of lenders;
     *  impose maximum term, amount, interest rate, and other charge
        limitations; and
     *  regulate whether and under what circumstances insurance and
        other ancillary products may be offered in connection with a
        lending transaction.

Certain of these laws prohibit the taking of liens on real estate for
loans of small dollar amounts, except liens resulting from judgments.
These state laws may require contract disclosures in addition to those
required under federal law and may limit remedies available in the
event of default by an obligor on the credit.
<PAGE> 18

Item 1.  Continued


Additionally, the federal government is considering, and a number of
states, counties, and cities have enacted or may be considering, laws
or rules that restrict the credit terms or other aspects of certain
loans that are typically described as "high cost mortgage loans".
These requirements may impose specific statutory liabilities in cases
of non-compliance and may also limit or restrict the terms of covered
loan transactions.  Additionally, some of these laws may restrict other
business activities or business dealings of affiliates of the Company
under certain conditions.


Insurance

State authorities regulate and supervise our insurance subsidiaries.
The extent of such regulation varies by product and by state but
relates primarily to the following:

     *  conduct of business;
     *  types of products offered;
     *  standards of solvency;
     *  limitations on the payment of dividends and on other
        transactions with related parties;
     *  licensing;
     *  deposits of securities for the benefit of policyholders;
     *  permissible investments;
     *  approval of policy forms and premium rates;
     *  periodic examination of the affairs of insurers;
     *  form and content of required financial reports; and
     *  reserve requirements for unearned premiums, losses, and other
        purposes.

Substantially all of the states in which we operate regulate the rates
of premiums charged for credit insurance and the calculation of premium
refunds.


                              COMPETITION

Consumer Finance

The consumer finance operations are highly competitive due to the large
number of companies offering financial products and services, the
sophistication of those products, capital market resources of some
competitors, and general acceptance and widespread usage of available
credit.  We compete with other consumer finance companies as well as
other types of financial institutions that offer similar products and
services.


Insurance

Our insurance operations supplement our consumer finance operations.
Although the insurance business is competitive in both price and
service, we believe that our insurance companies' abilities to market
insurance products through our distribution systems provide a
competitive advantage over our insurance competitors.
<PAGE> 19

Item 2.  Properties.


Our investment in real estate and tangible property is not significant
in relation to our total assets due to the nature of our business.
AGFI and certain of its subsidiaries own real estate on which AGFC, its
subsidiaries and affiliates, and third parties conduct business.  We
generally conduct branch office operations in leased premises.  Lease
terms ordinarily range from three to five years.



Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.


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

Item 5.  Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder
         Matters.


No trading market exists for AGFC's common stock because AGFI owns all
of AGFC's common stock.  AGFC paid the following cash dividends on its
common stock:

Quarter Ended                2001          2000
                           (dollars in thousands)

March 31                   $ 75,386      $ 60,960
June 30                      63,196          -
September 30                 45,208        59,233
December 31                 245,065        64,924

Total                      $428,855      $185,117


At the end of fourth quarter 2001, we increased our leverage target to
7.5 to 1 for debt to tangible equity.  Approximately $195.0 million of
the $245.1 million fourth quarter 2001 dividend was due to our change
in targeted leverage.  See Management's Discussion and Analysis in Item
7., and Note 15. of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in
Item 8., regarding limitations on the ability of AGFC and its
subsidiaries to pay dividends.

information in Item 1.


                      FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report on Form 10-K 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, by their nature, 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.  It is
possible that 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. Forward-
looking statements involve risks and uncertainties including, but not
limited to, the following:

     *  changes in general economic conditions, including the
        performance of financial markets, interest rates, and the
        level of personal bankruptcies;
     *  customer responsiveness to both products and distribution
        channels or changes in contractual delinquencies, collateral
        values, or credit losses;
     *  competitive, regulatory, accounting, or tax changes that
        affect the cost of, or demand for, our products or the manner
        in which we conduct business;
     *  adverse litigation results or resolution of litigation or any
        governmental inquiries or investigations;
     *  the formation of strategic alliances or business combinations
        among our competitors or our business partners;
     *  changes in our ability to attract and retain employees or key
        executives; and
     *  natural events affecting Company 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.

Item 7.  Continued


                     CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We prepared our consolidated financial statements using accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).  They
include the accounts of AGFC and its subsidiaries, all of which are
wholly owned.  We eliminated all intercompany items.  We made estimates
and assumptions that affect amounts reported in our financial
statements and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.
Ultimate results could differ from our estimates.

Our assets consist primarily of net finance receivables (less allowance
for finance receivable losses) and investment securities.  The related
finance charge revenue and investment revenue (included in other
revenues) are determined by principal amounts, interest or dividend
rates, and terms of the related assets. GAAP requires that we account
for finance charge revenue and investment securities interest revenue
on the accrual basis using the interest method.  The only discretion we
have in this revenue recognition is the point of suspension of finance
charge revenue and investment securities interest revenue.  Our only
other significant revenue is insurance premiums (included in insurance
revenues).  The premium amounts and policy terms are known and the
methods of revenue recognition are also determined by GAAP.

We establish the allowance for finance receivable losses primarily
through the provision for finance receivable losses charged to expense.
We periodically evaluate our finance receivable portfolio 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.

Our liabilities consist primarily of long-term debt and commercial
paper.  The related interest expense is determined by the principal
amounts, interest rates, and terms of the related debt, and include the
effects of interest rate swap agreements that effectively convert
certain floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis.  GAAP requires that
we account for interest expense on the accrual basis using the interest
method.

See Note 2. of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item
8. for further information on these critical accounting policies, as
well as other significant accounting policies.


                  LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

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

Item 7.  Continued


Principal sources and uses of cash were as follows:

                                           Years Ended December 31,
                                         2001        2000        1999
                                            (dollars in millions)
Principal sources of cash:

  Operations                           $  750.1    $  772.2    $  441.2
  Net issuances of debt                   361.0       554.3     1,305.1
  Capital contributions                      -           -         66.6

  Total                                $1,111.1    $1,326.5    $1,812.9


Principal uses of cash:

  Net originations and purchases
    of finance receivables             $  551.2    $  903.7    $1,462.4
  Dividends paid                          428.9       185.1       166.5

  Total                                $  980.1    $1,088.8    $1,628.9


Net cash from operations remained near the same in 2001.  Net cash from
operations increased in 2000 due to changes in various components of
other assets, other liabilities, and taxes receivable and payable
resulting from routine operating activities.  The increase in net cash
from operations in 2000 also reflected higher finance charges,
partially offset by higher interest expense.  Net issuances of debt and
net originations and purchases of finance receivables decreased in both
2001 and 2000 due to a slowing economy in 2001 and fewer portfolios
available for purchase that met our credit quality standards in 2000.
Dividends paid less capital contributions received reflect changes in
net income retained in AGFC to maintain equity and total debt at
predetermined ratios.  See "Capital Resources" for the fourth quarter
2001 change in targeted leverage and resulting dividends.

We believe that our overall sources of liquidity will continue to be
sufficient to satisfy our foreseeable financial obligations and
operational requirements.  The principal risk factors that could
decrease our sources of liquidity are delinquent payments from our
customers and our 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.
<PAGE> 24

Item 7.  Continued


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 term debt.  We
maintain committed bank credit facilities to provide an additional
source of liquidity needs not met through capital markets.  See Note
11. of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8. for
information on our credit facilities.

At December 31, 2001, contractual maturities related to our debt were
as follows:

                        Less than   From 1-3   From 4-5    Over 5
                         1 year      years      years      years      Total
                                        (dollars in millions)

Long-term debt          $ 1,388.4  $ 2,579.7  $ 1,995.2  $   336.9  $ 6,300.2
Commercial paper          4,578.6         -          -          -     4,578.6

Total                   $ 5,967.0  $ 2,579.7  $ 1,995.2  $   336.9  $10,878.8


Based on the strength of our current credit ratings, we expect to
refinance maturities of our debt.  Any adverse changes in our operating
performance or credit ratings could limit our access to capital markets
to accomplish these refinancings.

At December 31, 2001, our off-balance sheet commitments were as
follows:

                        Less than   From 1-3   From 4-5    Over 5
                         1 year      years      years      years      Total

Unused Credit Limits

Unused credit limits extended by a non-subsidiary affiliate (whose
private label finance receivables are fully participated to the
Company) and the Company to their customers totaled $3.6 billion at
December 31, 2001.  Company experience has shown that the funded
amounts of customer credit limits have been substantially less than the
credit limits.  All unused credit limits, in part or in total, can be
cancelled at the discretion of the affiliate and the Company.


Operating Leases

Operating leases represent annual rental commitments for leased office
space, automobiles, and data processing and related equipment.  At
December 31, 2001, our rental commitments totaled $162.2 million.

Item 7.  Continued


Limited Partnerships

Our investments in limited partnerships are part of our insurance
investment portfolio.  See Note 6. of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements in Item 8. for information on these limited
partnerships.  At December 31, 2001, our total commitments for these
limited partnerships were $57.5 million, consisting of $30.0 million
funded and $27.5 million unfunded.

Debt to tangible equity ratio                7.50x           6.49x


Our capital varies with the level of net finance receivables.  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 debt through issuances of public long-term debt offerings with
maturities generally ranging from two to ten years. AGFC obtains most
of our floating-rate debt effectively through sales and refinancing of
commercial paper.  Commercial paper, with maturities ranging from 1 to
270 days, is sold to banks, insurance companies, corporations, and
other accredited investors.  AGFC also sells extendible commercial
notes with initial maturities of up to 90 days, which may be extended
by AGFC to 390 days.

We participate in credit facilities to support the issuance of
commercial paper and to provide an additional source of funds for
operating requirements.  At December 31, 2001, credit facilities,
including facilities shared with American General and AGFI, totaled
$5.3 billion (including $5.2 billion of committed credit facilities),
with remaining availability of $5.3 billion.  See Note 11. of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8. for additional
information on credit facilities.

Item 7.  Continued


Years of expiration of committed credit facilities at December 31, 2001
were as follows:

                           Committed Credit Facilities
                              (dollars in millions)

2002                                $2,650.0

2006                                 1,500.0

Total                               $5,225.0


Until fourth quarter 2001, AGFC 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 6.5 to 1.  At the end of fourth quarter 2001, following
discussions with the credit rating agencies, we increased our leverage
target to 7.5 to 1.  This increase was based on our success with
managing credit risk and maintaining a lower risk finance receivable
portfolio.  We intend to continue these practices.  Approximately
$195.0 million of the $245.1 million fourth quarter 2001 dividend was
due to the change in targeted leverage.  An AGFC financing agreement
limits the amount of dividends AGFC may pay.  This agreement has not
prevented us from managing our capital to targeted leverage.  See Note
15. of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8. for
information on dividend restrictions.

                                         Years Ended December 31,
                                       2001        2000        1999
                                          (dollars in millions)


Net income                            $252.8      $260.1      $224.7
Return on average assets               1.91%       2.01%       1.96%
Return on average equity              14.46%      14.81%      13.86%
Ratio of earnings to fixed charges     1.62x       1.59x       1.61x


Net income for 2001 included charges of $58.0 million ($37.7 million
aftertax) resulting from our review of our businesses and the assets
supporting those businesses, as well as the adoption of AIG's
accounting policies and methodologies, in connection with AIG's
acquisition of American General.  See Note 16. of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8. for further information on
these charges.

Item 7.  Continued


Including these non-recurring charges, net income for 2001 was $252.8
million, a decrease of $7.3 million, or 3%, when compared to 2000.
Excluding these non-recurring charges, net income for 2001 would have
been $290.5 million, an increase of $30.4 million, or 12%, when
compared to 2000.  Net income for 2000 was $260.1 million, an increase
of $35.4 million, or 16%, when compared to 1999.  See Note 20. of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8. for information
on the results of the Company's business segments.

We manage the components of our revenue and expenses in response to
economic events and to achieve our profitability objectives.  In 2001,
a slowing economy resulted in lower borrowing cost but higher net
charge-offs.  We invested in business development programs, including
new branch openings, and increased our allowance for finance receivable
losses in response to higher delinquency, charge-offs, unemployment,
and personal bankruptcies.  In 2000 and 1999, an accelerating economy
resulted in higher borrowing cost but favorable net charge-off
experience.  We increased our finance charge rates on new business,
which is reflected in our yield in 2001.  We also controlled operating
expenses in 2000 and 1999.

Our income statement line items as percentages of each year's average
net receivables were as follows:

Factors that specifically affected the Company's operating results were
as follows:


Finance Charges
                                       Years Ended December 31,
                                    2001         2000        1999
                                        (dollars in millions)

Finance charges                   $ 1,668.6   $ 1,577.6   $ 1,423.4
Average net receivables           $11,411.5   $11,119.1   $ 9,815.9
Yield                                14.62%      14.19%      14.50%


Finance charges increased $91.0 million, or 6%, for 2001 when compared
to 2000 and $154.2 million, or 11%, for 2000 when compared to 1999.

The increase in finance charges for 2001 when compared to 2000
reflected higher yield and average net receivables.  The increase in
average net receivables of $292.4 million, or 3%, was primarily due to
higher average net non-real estate and real estate loans.

The increase in finance charges for 2000 when compared to 1999
reflected higher average net receivables, partially offset by lower
yield.  The increase in average net receivables of $1.3 billion, or
13%, was primarily due to higher average net real estate loans.

Yield increased 43 basis points during 2001 when compared to 2000 and
decreased 31 basis points during 2000 when compared to 1999.  The
increase in yield during 2001 when compared to 2000 was primarily due
to higher yield on real estate loans originated, renewed, and purchased
during 2000 and the first half of 2001 in response to rising market
interest rates from mid-1999 through mid-2000.  Lower market rates
experienced during 2001 may have a downward impact on future yields.
The decrease in yield during 2000 when compared to 1999 reflected a
larger proportion of average net receivables that are real estate
loans, which generally have lower yields, and a decline in real estate
loan yield.  The decrease in yield for 2000 when compared to 1999 also
reflected declines in non-real estate loan and retail sales finance
yield.


Insurance Revenues
                                         Years Ended December 31,
                                       2001        2000        1999
                                          (dollars in millions)

Insurance revenues                    $195.4      $196.2      $184.5
Premiums earned                       $193.0      $193.4      $181.2
Insurance revenues as a
  percentage of average
  net receivables                      1.71%       1.76%       1.88%
<PAGE> 29

Item 7. Continued


Insurance revenues remained near the same for 2001 when compared to
2000 and increased $11.7 million, or 6%, for 2000 when compared to
1999.  The increase in insurance revenues for 2000 when compared to
1999 was primarily due to higher earned premiums.  Earned premiums
increased due to higher premium volume.

Insurance revenues as a percentage of average net receivables declined
during 2001 and 2000 reflecting higher average net receivables.  Our
experience is that we place fewer insurance products on real estate
loans than on non-real estate loans.


Other Revenues
                                        Years Ended December 31,
                                      2001        2000        1999
                                         (dollars in millions)

Other revenues                      $  111.5    $  129.0    $  107.9
Investment revenue                  $   86.7    $   90.5    $   78.5
Interest revenue - notes
  receivable from AGFI              $   21.0    $   30.6    $   21.1
Net realized (losses) gains
  on investments                    $   (3.0)   $    2.8    $   (1.6)
Average invested assets             $1,231.2    $1,149.0    $1,056.2
Adjusted portfolio yield               7.03%       7.35%       7.35%


Other revenues decreased $17.5 million, or 14%, for 2001 when compared
to 2000 and increased $21.1 million, or 20%, for 2000 when compared to
1999.

The decrease in other revenues for 2001 when compared to 2000 was
primarily due to lower interest revenue on notes receivable from AGFI,
net losses on foreclosed real estate in 2001 compared to net gains in
2000, and lower investment revenue.  The decrease in interest revenue
on notes receivable from AGFI reflected significantly lower interest
rates.  These notes support AGFI's funding of finance receivables.  The
decrease in investment revenue reflected net realized losses in 2001
compared to net realized gains in 2000 and a decline in adjusted
portfolio yield of 32 basis points, partially offset by growth in
average invested assets for the insurance operations of $82.2 million.

The increase in other revenues for 2000 when compared to 1999 was
primarily due to higher investment revenue and interest revenue on
notes receivable from AGFI.  The increase in investment revenue
reflected growth in average invested assets for the insurance
operations of $92.8 million and net realized gains in 2000 compared to
net realized losses in 1999.

The increases in average invested assets in 2001 and 2000 was primarily
due to investment of insurance operations cash flows. The decrease in
adjusted portfolio yield in 2001 reflected market conditions.

Interest Expense
                                        Years Ended December 31,
                                     2001         2000        1999
                                         (dollars in millions)

Interest expense                   $   620.5   $   677.4   $   564.0
Average borrowings                 $10,373.6   $10,258.5   $ 9,018.2
Borrowing cost                         5.98%       6.60%       6.25%


Interest expense decreased $56.9 million, or 8%, for 2001 when compared
to 2000 and increased $113.4 million, or 20%, for 2000 when compared to
1999.

The decrease in interest expense for 2001 when compared to 2000
reflected lower borrowing cost, partially offset by higher average
borrowings.  The increase in interest expense for 2000 when compared to
1999 reflected higher average borrowings and borrowing cost.

Borrowing cost decreased 62 basis points during 2001 when compared to
2000 reflecting lower rates on short-term debt.  Borrowing cost
increased 35 basis points during 2000 when compared to 1999 reflecting
higher rates on short-term debt.  Federal Reserve actions raised the
federal funds rate a total of 175 basis points between June 1999 and
May 2000 and then lowered rates a total of 475 basis points between
December 2000 and December 2001.  These actions resulted in large
movements in market rates and in our short-term, floating-rate
borrowing costs.

Average borrowings increased $115.1 million, or 1%, during 2001 when
compared to 2000 and $1.2 billion, or 14%, during 2000 when compared to
1999 primarily to support finance receivable growth.


Operating Expenses
                                         Years Ended December 31,
                                       2001        2000        1999
                                          (dollars in millions)

Operating expenses                    $530.0      $525.8      $509.5
Operating expenses as a
  percentage of average
  net receivables                      4.64%       4.73%       5.19%


Operating expenses increased $4.2 million, or 1%, for 2001 when
compared to 2000 and $16.3 million, or 3%, for 2000 when compared to
1999.

The increase in operating expenses for 2001 when compared to 2000 was
primarily due to higher salaries, partially offset by higher deferred
loan origination costs.

The increase in operating expenses for 2000 when compared to 1999 was
primarily due to higher salaries and data processing expenses,
partially offset by lower litigation expenses.
<PAGE> 31

Item 7.  Continued


The increases in salaries for 2001 and 2000 when compared to the
respective previous year reflect higher competitive compensation.

The improvements in operating expenses as a percentage of average net
receivables in 2001 and 2000 when compared to the respective previous
year reflect continued improvement in operating efficiencies.


Provision for Finance Receivable Losses

                                              At or for the
                                         Years Ended December 31,
                                       2001        2000        1999
                                          (dollars in millions)
Provision for finance
  receivable losses                   $284.7      $202.5      $203.0

Net charge-offs                       $258.7      $202.5      $203.0
Charge-off ratio                       2.27%       1.82%       2.08%

Allowance for finance
  receivable losses                   $438.9      $372.8      $385.3
Allowance ratio                        3.74%       3.26%       3.58%


Provision for finance receivable losses increased $82.2 million, or
41%, for 2001 when compared to 2000 and remained near the same for 2000
when compared to 1999.  The increase in provision for finance
receivable losses for 2001 when compared to 2000 was primarily due to
higher net charge-offs.

The increase in the charge-off ratio for 2001 when compared to 2000 was
primarily due to higher net charge-offs on all finance receivable types
reflecting slowing economic conditions, despite the credit quality
improvement efforts referred to below.  The decrease in the charge-off
ratio for 2000 when compared to 1999 reflected the results of credit
quality improvement efforts, including consistent adherence to strict
underwriting guidelines.

The increase in the delinquency ratio at December 31, 2001 when
compared to December 31, 2000 also reflected slowing economic
conditions.  The decrease in the delinquency ratio at December 31, 2000
when compared to December 31, 1999 reflected the improvement in credit
quality.  The decrease in the delinquency ratio at December 31, 2000
also reflected the sale of fully-reserved delinquent net finance
receivables totaling $27.1 million (gross balances totaling $34.8
million) in 2000, which reduced the delinquency ratio by approximately
30 basis points at the time of sale.  The decrease in the delinquency
ratio at December 31, 2000 was partially offset by the maturation of
real estate loan portfolios purchased in fourth quarter 1999 ($726.9
million), which were primarily new originations when purchased.
<PAGE> 32

Item 7. Continued


We periodically evaluate our finance receivable portfolio 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 ratio at December 31, 2001 when compared to
December 31, 2000 was primarily due to:

     *  an increase to the allowance for finance receivable losses
        through the provision for finance receivable losses in 2001
        totaling $26.0 million (this increase was necessary in
        response to our increased delinquency and net charge-offs and
        the higher levels of both unemployment and personal
        bankruptcies in the United States during 2001);
     *  an increase to the allowance for finance receivable losses
        through other charges in third quarter 2001 totaling $25.0
        million (see Note 16. of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
        Statements in Item 8. for further discussion of the other
        charges); and
     *  an increase to the allowance for finance receivable losses
        resulting from applying purchase accounting to net portfolio
        acquisitions totaling $15.0 million.

The allowance ratio declined in 2000 when compared to 1999 reflecting
the improvement in credit quality.  The decrease in the allowance ratio
for 2000 also reflected the sale of the fully-reserved net finance
receivables in 2000 which reduced the allowance ratio by approximately
24 basis points at the time of sale.

Charge-off coverage, which compares the allowance for finance
receivable losses to net charge-offs, declined in 2001 when compared to
2000 reflecting higher net charge-offs, partially offset by increases
to allowance for finance receivable losses.


Insurance Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

                                         Years Ended December 31,
                                       2001        2000       1999
                                          (dollars in millions)

Claims incurred                       $90.3       $83.0       $82.4
Change in benefit reserves             (2.2)        5.4         4.2

Insurance losses and loss
  adjustment expenses                 $88.1       $88.4       $86.6


Insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses remained near the same
for 2001 when compared to 2000 and increased $1.8 million, or 2%, for
2000 when compared to 1999.

The change in insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses for 2001
when compared to 2000 was due to a decrease in provision for future
benefits, offset by higher claims.  Provision for future benefits
decreased $7.6 million for 2001 due to decreased sales of non-credit
insurance products.  Claims increased $7.3 million for 2001 primarily
due to increased credit insurance loss experience.
<PAGE> 33

Item 7.  Continued


The increase in insurance losses and loss adjustment expenses for 2000
when compared to 1999 was due to increases in provision for future
benefits and claims.  Provision for future benefits increased $1.2
million for 2000 due to increased sales of non-credit insurance
products.  Claims increased $.6 million for 2000 primarily due to
increased credit insurance loss experience.


Other Charges

In third quarter 2001, we recorded charges of $58.0 million ($37.7
million aftertax) resulting from our review of our businesses and the
assets supporting those businesses, as well as the adoption of AIG's
accounting policies and methodologies, in connection with AIG's
acquisition of American General.  See Note 16. of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8. for further information on
these charges.


Provision for Income Taxes
                                         Years Ended December 31,
                                       2001        2000        1999
                                          (dollars in millions)

Provision for income taxes            $141.4      $148.7      $128.1
Pretax income                         $394.2      $408.8      $352.8
Effective income tax rate             35.88%      36.37%      36.31%


Provision for income taxes decreased $7.3 million, or 5%, for 2001 when
compared to 2000 and increased $20.6 million, or 16%, for 2000 when
compared to 1999.

The decrease in provision for income taxes for 2001 when compared to
2000 was primarily due to lower taxable income resulting from the other
charges of $58.0 million in third quarter 2001.  The increase in
provision for income taxes for 2000 when compared to 1999 was primarily
due to higher taxable income.


                   ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

Asset Quality

We believe that our geographic diversification reduces the risk
associated with a recession in any one region.  In addition, 96% of our
finance receivables at December 31, 2001 were secured by real property
or personal property.  While finance receivables have some exposure to
further economic uncertainty, we believe that the allowance for finance
receivable losses is adequate to absorb losses inherent in our existing

Item 7.  Continued


Investment securities principally represent the investment portfolio of
our insurance operations.  Our investment strategy is to optimize
aftertax returns on invested assets, subject to the constraints of
safety, liquidity, diversification, and regulation.


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.  Real
estate loans have an expected life of 2.9 years (although this can
change in response to interest rate changes), non-real estate loans
have an expected life of 1.6 years and retail sales finance receivables
have an expected life of 9 months.  We fund finance receivables with a
combination of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt and equity.  The
weighted-average years to maturity for our fixed-rate debt was 2.6
years at December 31, 2001.  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 way we
accomplish this is by issuing fixed-rate debt.  To supplement fixed-
rate debt issuances, AGFC also uses interest rate swap agreements to
synthetically create fixed-rate, long-term debt by altering the nature
of certain floating-rate funding, thereby limiting our exposure to
market interest rate increases.  Floating-rate debt (principally
commercial paper) represented 30% of our average borrowings for 2001
compared to 36% for 2000.  These percentages include the effect of
interest rate swap agreements that effectively converted short-term or
floating-rate debt to a long-term fixed rate. The decrease in the
percentage of floating-rate debt to average borrowings reflected the
issuance of $1.0 billion of fixed-rate, five-year notes on July 16,
2001.  The proceeds were used to repay commercial paper.


                        REGULATION AND OTHER

Regulation

The regulatory environment of the consumer finance and insurance
businesses is described in Item 1.


Taxation

We monitor federal and state tax legislation and respond with
appropriate tax planning.

Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.


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

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

                                December 31, 2001       December 31, 2000
                              +100 bp       -100 bp   +100 bp       -100 bp

Off-Balance Sheet Financial
  Instruments
Interest rate swap agreements      -           -         63,445     (66,407)


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

As a result of our adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards 133 in 2001, we record interest rate swap agreements at fair
value in the balance sheet.  This changed the classification from off-
balance sheet financial instruments in 2000 to liabilities in 2001.

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

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS





The Board of Directors
American General Finance Corporation


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
American General Finance Corporation (a wholly-owned subsidiary of
American General Finance, Inc.) and subsidiaries as of December 31,
2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of income,
shareholder's equity, cash flows, and comprehensive income for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001.  Our audits also
included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item
14(a).  These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility
of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States.  Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of American General Finance Corporation and subsidiaries at
December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.  Also, in our
opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents
fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 3. to the consolidated financial statements, in
2001 the Company changed its method of accounting for derivative
financial instruments.

              Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                           December 31, 2001



Note 1.  Nature of Operations

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".  AGFC is a wholly owned subsidiary
of American General Finance, Inc. (AGFI).  AGFI is a wholly owned
subsidiary of American General Corporation (American General).
American General is a wholly owned subsidiary of American International
Group, Inc. (AIG).  AGFC is a financial services holding company with
subsidiaries engaged primarily in the consumer finance and credit
insurance businesses.  At December 31, 2001, the Company had 1,362
offices in 43 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands and
approximately 7,400 employees.

On August 29, 2001, AIG acquired American General.  As a result of this
transaction, the Company is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of AIG.
AIG is a holding company which through its subsidiaries is engaged in a
broad range of insurance and insurance-related activities and financial
services in the United States and abroad.

In our consumer finance operations, we:

     *  make home equity loans;
     *  originate secured and unsecured consumer loans;
     *  extend lines of credit;
     *  purchase retail sales contracts and provide revolving retail
        services arising from the retail sale of consumer goods and
        services by approximately 17,000 retail merchants; and
     *  purchase private label receivables originated by a non-
        subsidiary affiliate arising from the sales by approximately
        70 retail merchants under a participation agreement.

To supplement our lending and retail sales financing activities, we
purchase portfolios of real estate loans, non-real estate loans, and
retail sales finance receivables.  We also offer credit and non-credit
insurance to our consumer finance customers.

In our insurance operations, we principally write and assume credit
life, credit accident and health, credit-related property and casualty,
and non-credit insurance covering our consumer finance customers and
property pledged as collateral.  See Note 20. for further information
on the Company's business segments.

We fund our operations principally through net cash flows from
operating activities, issuances of long-term debt, short-term
borrowings in the commercial paper market, borrowings from banks under
credit facilities, and capital contributions from AGFI.

At December 31, 2001, the Company had $11.7 billion of net finance
receivables due from approximately 2.0 million customer accounts and
$6.4 billion of credit and non-credit life insurance in force covering
approximately 1.1 million customer accounts.

Note 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

                       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

We prepared our consolidated financial statements using accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).  They
include the accounts of AGFC and its subsidiaries, all of which are
wholly owned.  We eliminated all intercompany items.  We made estimates
and assumptions that affect amounts reported in our financial
statements and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.
Ultimate results could differ from our estimates.  To conform to the
2001 presentation, we reclassified certain items in prior periods.


                         FINANCE OPERATIONS

Finance Receivables

We carry finance receivables at amortized cost which includes accrued
finance charges on interest bearing finance receivables, unamortized
deferred origination costs, and unamortized net premiums and discounts
on purchased finance receivables.  They are net of unamortized finance
charges on precomputed receivables and unamortized points and fees.  We
determine delinquency on finance receivables contractually.

Although a significant portion of insurance claims and policyholder
liabilities originate from the finance receivables, our policy is to
report them as liabilities and not net them against finance
receivables.  Finance receivables relate to the financing activities of
our consumer finance business segment, and insurance claims and
policyholder liabilities relate to the underwriting activities of our
insurance business segment.


Revenue Recognition

We recognize finance charges as revenue on the accrual basis using the
interest method.  We amortize premiums and discounts on purchased
finance receivables as a revenue adjustment.  We defer the costs to
originate certain finance receivables and the revenue from
nonrefundable points and fees on loans and amortize them to revenue on
the accrual basis using the interest method over the lesser of the
contractual term or the estimated life based upon prepayment
experience.  If a finance receivable liquidates before amortization is
completed, we charge or credit any unamortized premiums, discounts,
origination costs, or points and fees to revenue at the date of
liquidation.  We recognize late charges, prepayment penalties, and
extension fees as revenue when received.

We stop accruing revenue when the fourth contractual payment becomes
past due for loans and retail sales contracts and when the sixth
contractual payment becomes past due for revolving retail and private
label.  Beginning in third quarter 2001, in conformity with AIG policy,
we reverse amounts previously accrued upon suspension.  (Prior to AIG's
acquisition of American General, we did not reverse amounts previously
accrued upon suspension.)  After suspension, we recognize revenue for
loans and retail sales contracts only to the extent of any additional
payments we receive.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued


Allowance for Finance Receivable Losses

We establish the allowance for finance receivable losses primarily
through the provision for finance receivable losses charged to expense.
We believe the amount of the allowance for finance receivable losses is
the most significant estimate we make.  Our Credit Strategy and Policy
Committee evaluates our finance receivable portfolio monthly.  Within
our three main finance receivable types are sub-portfolios, each
consisting of a large number of relatively small, homogenous accounts.
We evaluate these sub-portfolios for impairment as groups.  None of our
accounts are large enough to warrant individual evaluation for
impairment.  Our Credit Strategy and Policy Committee considers
numerous factors in estimating losses inherent in our finance
receivable portfolio, including the following:

     *  current economic conditions;
     *  prior finance receivable loss and delinquency experience; and
     *  the composition of our finance receivable portfolio.

Our policy is to charge off each month to the allowance for finance
receivable losses non-real estate loans on which little or no
collections were made in the prior six months and retail sales finance
that are six installments past due.  We start foreclosure proceedings
on real estate loans when four monthly installments are past due.  When
foreclosure is completed and we have obtained title to the property, we
establish the real estate as an asset valued at fair value, and charge
off any loan amount in excess of that value to the allowance for
finance receivable losses.  We occasionally extend the charge-off
period for individual accounts when, in our opinion, such treatment is
warranted.  We increase the allowance for finance receivable losses for
recoveries on accounts previously charged off.


                         INSURANCE OPERATIONS

Revenue Recognition

We recognize credit insurance premiums on closed-end real estate loans
and revolving finance receivables as revenue when billed monthly.  We
defer credit insurance premiums collected in advance in unearned
premium reserves which are included in insurance claims and
policyholder liabilities.  We recognize unearned premiums on credit
life insurance as revenue using the sum-of-the-digits or actuarial
methods, except in the case of level-term contracts, which we recognize
as revenue using the straight-line method over the terms of the
policies.  We recognize unearned premiums on credit accident and health
insurance as revenue using an average of the sum-of-the-digits and the
straight-line methods.  We recognize unearned premiums on credit-
related property and casualty insurance as revenue using the straight-
line method over the terms of the policies or appropriate shorter
periods.  We recognize non-credit life insurance premiums as revenue
when collected but not before their due dates.
<PAGE> 46

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued


Policy Reserves

Policy reserves for credit life, credit accident and health, and
credit-related property and casualty insurance equal related unearned
premiums.  We base claim reserves on Company experience.  We estimate
reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses for credit-related
property and casualty insurance based upon claims reported plus
estimates of incurred but not reported claims.  We accrue liabilities
for future life insurance policy benefits associated with non-credit
life contracts when we recognize premium revenue and base the amounts
on assumptions as to investment yields, mortality, and surrenders.  We
base annuity reserves on assumptions as to investment yields and
mortality.  We base non-credit life, individual annuity, group annuity,
credit life, credit accident and health, and credit-related property
and casualty insurance reserves assumed under coinsurance agreements
where we assume the risk of loss on various tabular and unearned
premium methods.


Acquisition Costs

We defer insurance policy acquisition costs, principally commissions,
reinsurance fees, and premium taxes, and charge them to expense over
the terms of the related policies or reinsurance agreements.


                         INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Valuation

We currently classify all investment securities as available-for-sale
and record them at fair value.  We adjust related balance sheet
accounts as if the unrealized gains and losses on investment securities
had been realized, and record the net adjustment in accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) in shareholder's equity.  If the fair value
of an investment security classified as available-for-sale declines
below its cost and we consider the decline to be other than temporary,
we reduce the investment security to its fair value, and recognize a
realized loss.


Revenue Recognition

We recognize interest on interest bearing fixed maturity investment
securities as revenue on the accrual basis.  We amortize any premiums
or discounts as a revenue adjustment using the interest method.  We
stop accruing interest revenue when the collection of interest becomes
uncertain.  We record dividends as revenue on ex-dividend dates.  We
recognize income on mortgage-backed securities as revenue using a
constant effective yield based on estimated prepayment of the
underlying mortgages.  If actual prepayments differ from estimated
prepayments, we calculate a new effective yield and adjust the net
investment in the security accordingly.  We record the adjustment in
other revenues.
<PAGE> 47

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued


Realized Gains and Losses on Investments

We specifically identify realized gains and losses on investments and
include them in other revenues.


                                OTHER

Cash Equivalents

We consider all short-term investments with a maturity at date of
purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.


Goodwill

Prior to our adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" on January 1,
2002, we charged goodwill to expense in equal amounts over 20 to 40
years.  We regularly reviewed goodwill for indicators of impairment in
value which we believed were not temporary, including unexpected or
adverse changes in the following:

     *  the economic or competitive environments in which we operate;
     *  profitability analyses; and
     *  cash flow analyses.

If facts and circumstances suggested that goodwill was impaired, we
assessed the fair value of the underlying business and reduced goodwill
to an amount that resulted in the book value of the Company
approximating fair value.  See Note 3. for information on the adoption
of SFAS 142.


Customer Base Valuations

We charge customer base valuations to expense in equal amounts
generally over 6 years.


Income Taxes

We establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary
differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of
assets and liabilities, using the tax rates expected to be in effect
when the temporary differences reverse.

We provide a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is
likely that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be
realized.  We include an increase or decrease in a valuation allowance
resulting from a change in the realizability of the related deferred
tax asset in income.
<PAGE> 48

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued


Derivative Financial Instruments

We accrue the differences between amounts payable and receivable on
interest rate swap agreements as adjustments to interest expense over
the lives of the agreements.  We include the related amounts payable to
and receivable from counterparties in other liabilities and other
assets.

Prior to January 1, 2001, we deferred any gain or loss resulting from
the early termination of an interest rate swap agreement and amortized
it into income over the remaining term of the related debt.  If the
underlying debt was extinguished, we recognized any related gain or
loss on the interest rate swap agreement in income.

Effective with our adoption of SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" on January 1, 2001, we recognize
the fair values of interest rate swap agreements in the consolidated
balance sheet.  Our interest rate swap agreements are designated and
qualify as cash flow hedges.  We report the effective portion of the
gain or loss on the instruments as a component of comprehensive income.
We report any ineffectiveness in other revenues.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We estimate the fair values disclosed in Note 22. using discounted cash
flows when quoted market prices or values obtained from independent
pricing services are not available.  The assumptions used, including
the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows, significantly
affect the valuation techniques employed.  In certain cases, we cannot
verify the estimated fair values by comparison to independent markets
or realize the estimated fair values in immediate settlement of the
instruments.



Note 3.  Accounting Changes

In 2001, we adopted SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities," which requires all derivative instruments to
be recognized at fair value in the balance sheet.  Changes in the fair
value of a derivative instrument are reported in net income or
comprehensive income, depending upon the intended use of the derivative
instrument.  Upon adoption of SFAS 133, we recorded cumulative
adjustments of $42.1 million to recognize the fair value of interest
rate swap agreements related to debt in the balance sheet, which
reduced accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholder's equity
by $27.4 million.  During 2001, we reclassified into earnings $13.6
million of net realized losses which related to the cumulative
adjustment.  At December 31, 2001, we expect to reclassify $98.5
million of net realized losses on interest rate swap agreements from
accumulated other comprehensive income to income during the next twelve
months.

In 2001, we conformed to Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 99-20,
"Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and
Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets."  As a
result of applying the impairment provisions of EITF 99-20, we recorded
<PAGE> 49

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued


a $1.0 million ($.6 million aftertax) write-down of the carrying value
of certain collateralized debt obligations in other revenues.

On January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets."  SFAS 142 provides that goodwill and other
intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer to be amortized.
These assets are to be reviewed for impairment annually, or more
frequently if impairment indicators are present.  Separable intangible
assets that have finite lives will continue to be amortized over their
useful lives.  The amortization provisions of SFAS 142 apply to
goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001.
Amortization of goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to July
1, 2001 continued through December 31, 2001.  Initial impairment
losses, if any, will be reported as the cumulative effect of an
accounting change.  We have not yet determined if the required
impairment testing related to the Company's goodwill and other
intangible assets will require a write-down of any such assets.

Components of net finance receivables by type were as follows:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued


Real estate loans are secured by first or second mortgages on
residential real estate and generally have maximum original terms of
360 months.  Non-real estate loans are secured by consumer goods,
automobiles or other personal property, or are unsecured and generally
have maximum original terms of 60 months.  Retail sales contracts are
secured principally by consumer goods and automobiles and generally
have maximum original terms of 60 months.  Revolving retail and private
label are effectively secured by the goods purchased and generally
require minimum monthly payments based on outstanding balances.  At
December 31, 2001 and 2000, 96% of our net finance receivables were
secured by the real and/or personal property of the borrower.  At
December 31, 2001, real estate loans accounted for 64% of the amount
and 9% of the number of net finance receivables outstanding, compared
to 62% of the amount and 8% of the number of net finance receivables
outstanding at December 31, 2000.

Contractual maturities of net finance receivables by type at December
31, 2001 were as follows:

Company experience has shown that customers will renew, convert or pay
in full a substantial portion of finance receivables prior to maturity.
Contractual maturities are not a forecast of future cash collections.

Principal cash collections and such collections as a percentage of

in part or in total, can be cancelled at the discretion of the
affiliate and the Company.

Note 11.  Liquidity Facilities

We participate in credit facilities to support the issuance of
commercial paper and to provide an additional source of funds for
operating requirements.  AGFC is an eligible borrower under committed
credit facilities extended to American General and certain of its
subsidiaries (the "shared committed facilities").  At December 31,
2001, the annual commitment fees for the shared committed facilities
ranged from .04% to .06%.  We pay only an allocated portion of the
commitment fees for the shared committed facilities.  AGFC and certain
subsidiaries also have uncommitted credit facilities.  In addition,
AGFC is an eligible borrower under uncommitted credit facilities
extended to American General and certain of its subsidiaries (the
"shared uncommitted facilities").  Available borrowings under all
facilities are reduced by any outstanding borrowings.

Information concerning the credit facilities was as follows:

Note 12.  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.

AGFC uses interest rate swap agreements to reduce its exposure to
market interest rate increases by synthetically converting 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 long-term fixed-rate debt.  As an alternative to fixed-rate
term debt, AGFC's interest rate swap agreements did not have a material
effect on the Company's other revenues, interest expense, or net income
in any of the three years ended December 31, 2001.

AGFC contracted to pay interest at fixed rates and receive interest at
floating rates on the interest rate swap agreements.  Notional amounts
and weighted average receive and pay rates were as follows:

AGFC is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by
counterparties to derivative financial instruments.  AGFC limits this
exposure by entering into agreements with counterparties having high
credit ratings and by basing the amounts and terms of these agreements
on their credit ratings.  AGFC regularly monitors counterparty credit
ratings throughout the term of the agreements.

AGFC's credit exposure on derivative financial instruments is limited
to the fair value of the agreements that are favorable to the Company.
At December 31, 2001, the interest rate swap agreements were recorded
at fair value of $103.9 million in other liabilities.  AGFC does not
expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligation; however, non-
performance would not have a material impact on the Company's
consolidated results of operations and financial position.

AGFC's exposure to market risk is mitigated by the offsetting effects
of changes in the value of the agreements and of the related debt being
hedged.

themselves and with other insurers, including affiliated insurance
companies.  Insurance claims and policyholder liabilities included the

Note 14.  Capital Stock

AGFC has two classes of authorized capital stock:  special shares and
common shares.  AGFC may issue special shares in series.  The board of
directors determines the dividend, liquidation, redemption, conversion,
voting and other rights prior to issuance.  Par value, shares
authorized, and shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 2001 and
2000 were as follows:
                                                      Shares
                                              Issued and Outstanding

Note 15.  Retained Earnings

State laws restrict the amounts our insurance subsidiaries may pay as
dividends without prior notice to, or in some cases prior approval
from, their respective state insurance departments.  At December 31,
2001, the maximum amount of dividends which our insurance subsidiaries
may pay in 2002 without prior approval was $90.6 million.  At December
31, 2001, our insurance subsidiaries had statutory capital and surplus
of $664.5 million.  Merit Life Insurance Co. (Merit), a wholly owned
subsidiary of AGFC, had $52.7 million of accumulated earnings at
December 31, 2001 for which no federal income tax provisions have been
required.  Merit would be liable for federal income taxes on such
earnings if they were distributed as dividends or exceeded limits
prescribed by tax laws.  No distributions are presently contemplated
from these earnings.  If such earnings were to become taxable at
December 31, 2001, the federal income tax would approximate $18.4
million.

An AGFC financing agreement limits the amount of dividends AGFC may
pay.  Under the restrictive provision contained in this agreement,
$444.5 million of the retained earnings of AGFC was free from such
restriction at December 31, 2001.



Note 16.  Other Charges

In September 2001, we recorded one-time charges totaling $58.0 million
($37.7 million aftertax), resulting from AIG's and the Company's joint
assessment of the current business environment and post-business
combination plans.  These charges recognize that certain assets will
have no future economic benefit or ability to generate future revenues.
These costs include an asset impairment charge related to customer base
intangibles that resulted from a previous business acquisition.  Also
included are certain adjustments associated with conforming the
Company's balances to AIG's accounting policies and methodologies, as
well as an increase in the allowance for finance receivable losses to
reflect AIG's assumptions about the current business environment.

Note 17.  Income Taxes

For the years 1999 and 2000, and the period January 1, 2001 to August
29, 2001, AGFC and all of its subsidiaries are included in a federal
income tax return with American General and the majority of its
subsidiaries.  Federal taxes were provided as if AGFC were filing a
separate tax return, with payments being made to American General under
a tax sharing agreement.

For the period August 30, 2001 to December 31, 2001, the life insurance
subsidiaries of AGFC file separate federal income tax returns.  AGFC
and all other AGFC subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax
return with AIG.  Federal taxes were provided as if AGFC and the other
AGFC subsidiaries were filing a separate tax return, with payments
being made to AIG under a tax sharing agreement.

Components of provision for income taxes were as follows:

allowance relating to the state NOL carryforwards totaled $43.5 million
at December 31, 2001 and 2000.

Total                           $162,179
<PAGE> 63

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued


Taxes, insurance and maintenance expenses are obligations of the
Company under certain leases.  In the normal course of business, leases
that expire will be renewed or replaced by leases on other properties.
Future minimum annual rental commitments will probably not be less than
the amount of rental expense incurred in 2001.  Rental expense totaled
$50.6 million in 2001, $48.9 million in 2000, and $46.9 million in
1999.

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



Note 19.  Benefit Plans

                       RETIREMENT INCOME PLANS

We participated in the American General Retirement Plans (AGRP), which
were non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering most
employees.  Pension benefits were based on the participant's
compensation and length of credited service.  American General's
funding policy was to contribute annually no more than the maximum
amount deductible for federal income tax purposes.

At December 31, 2001, the plans' assets were invested as follows:  (1)
63% in equity mutual funds managed outside American General; (2) 30% in
fixed income mutual funds managed by an American General subsidiary;
and (3) 7% in AIG common stock.  The pension plans had purchased
annuity contracts from American General subsidiaries to provide
approximately $7.8 million of future annual benefits to certain
retirees.

Because net plan assets were not calculated separately for the Company,
the remaining information was for AGFI.

              POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS

We participate in American General's life, medical, supplemental major
medical, and dental plans for certain retired employees.  Most plans
are contributory, with retiree contributions adjusted annually to limit
employer contributions to predetermined amounts.  The majority of the
retiree medical and dental plans are unfunded and self-insured.
American General and its subsidiaries reserve the right to change or
eliminate these benefits at any time.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued


Because plan information is not calculated separately for the Company,
the remaining information is for AGFI.

AGFI accounts for its participation in the plans as if it had its own
plans.  The accrued liability for postretirement benefits was $6.2
million at December 31, 2001 and $6.5 million at December 31, 2000.
These liabilities were discounted at the same rates used for the
pension plans.  Postretirement benefit expense totaled $.8 million in
2001, $.8 million in 2000, and $.7 million in 1999.

As of January 31, 2002, the American General postretirement benefit
plans had not been merged into the AIG plans.



Note 20.  Segment Information

We have two business segments: consumer finance and insurance.  Our
segments are defined by the type of financial service product offered.
The consumer finance segment makes home equity loans, originates
secured and unsecured consumer loans, extends lines of credit, and
purchases retail sales contracts from, and provides revolving retail
services for, retail merchants.  We also purchase private label
receivables originated by an affiliate of ours, under a participation
agreement.  To supplement our lending and retail sales financing
activities, we purchase portfolios of real estate loans, non-real
estate loans, and retail sales finance receivables.  We also 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.

We evaluate the performance of the segments based on pretax operating
earnings.  The accounting policies of the segments are the same as
those disclosed in Note 2., except for the following:

     *  segment finance charge revenues are not reduced for the
        amortization of the deferred origination costs;
     *  segment operating expenses are not reduced for the deferral of
        origination costs and exclude the amortization of goodwill;
     *  segment finance receivables exclude deferred origination
        costs; and
     *  segment investment revenues exclude realized gains and losses
        and certain investment expenses.

Intersegment sales and transfers are intended to approximate the
amounts segments would earn if dealing with independent third parties.

The following tables display information about the Company's segments
as well as reconciliations of the segment totals to the consolidated
financial statement amounts.  Adjustments for revenues are amortization
of deferred origination costs, realized gains (losses) on investments,
and certain investment expenses.  Adjustments for pretax income include
the amortization of goodwill, realized gains (losses) on investments,
and certain investment expenses.  Adjustments for assets include
goodwill, deferred origination costs, other assets, and corporate
assets that are not considered pertinent to determining segment

performance.  Corporate assets include cash, prepaid expenses, deferred
charges, and fixed assets.

Because segment information is not calculated separately for the
Company, the remaining information is for AGFI.

As a result of our adoption of SFAS 133 in 2001, we record interest
rate swap agreements at fair value in the balance sheet.  This changed
the classification from off-balance sheet financial instruments in 2000
to liabilities in 2001.



                VALUATION METHODOLOGIES AND ASSUMPTIONS

We used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair
value of our financial instruments.


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
<PAGE> 70

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued


interest rates offered for similar finance receivables at December 31
of each year.  We based cash flows on contractual payment terms
adjusted for delinquencies and finance receivable losses.  The fair
value estimates do not reflect the value of the underlying customer
relationships or the related distribution systems.


Investment Securities

When available, we used quoted market prices as fair values of
investment securities.  For investment securities not actively traded,
we estimated fair values using values obtained from independent pricing
services or, in the case of some private placements, by discounting
expected future cash flows using each year's December 31 market rate
applicable to yield, credit quality, and average life of the
investments.


Cash and Cash Equivalents

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents approximated the carrying
values.


Long-term Debt

We estimated the fair values of long-term debt using cash flows
discounted at each year's December 31 borrowing rates.


Commercial Paper

The fair values of commercial paper approximated the carrying values.


Unused Customer Credit Limits

The unused credit limits available to the customers of the affiliate
that sells private label receivables to the Company under a
participation agreement and to the Company's customers have no fair
value.  The interest rates charged on these facilities can be changed
at the affiliate'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 the affiliate and the Company.


Interest Rate Swap Agreements

We estimated the fair values of interest rate swap agreements using
market recognized valuation systems at each year's December 31 market
rates.

                Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
                           December 31, 2001




Note 1.  Accounting Policies

AGFC's investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost plus the equity
in undistributed (overdistributed) net income of subsidiaries since the
date of the acquisition.  The condensed financial statements of the
registrant should be read in conjunction with AGFC's consolidated
financial statements.



Note 2.  Receivable from Subsidiaries

AGFC provides funding to most of its finance subsidiaries for lending
activities.  Such funding is made at 215 basis points over the
borrowing cost rate.



Note 3.  Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt maturities for the five years after December 31, 2001,
were as follows:  2002, $1.4 billion; 2003, $1.6 billion; 2004, $1.0
billion; 2005, $722.3 million; and 2006, $1.3 billion.



Note 4.  Other Charges

In September 2001, we recorded one-time charges totaling $13.0 million
($8.5 million aftertax), resulting from AIG's and the Company's joint
assessment of the current business environment and post-business
combination plans.  These charges recognize that certain assets will
have no future economic benefit or ability to generate future revenues.
These costs include an asset impairment charge related to customer base
intangibles that resulted from a previous business acquisition.

        filed as a part of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
        for the year ended December 31, 1988 (File No. 1-6155).

    b.  By-laws of American General Finance Corporation.  Incorporated
        by reference to Exhibit (3)b. filed as a part of the Company's
        Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,

        601(b)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K, which requires with certain
        exceptions that all instruments be filed which define the
        rights of holders of the Company's long-term debt and our
        consolidated subsidiaries.  In the aggregate, the outstanding
        issuances of debt under each of the Indentures referred to
        under items (1) and (2) below exceed 10% of the Company's
        total assets on a consolidated basis.

        (1)  Indenture dated as of May 1, 1999 from American General
             Finance Corporation to CitiBank, N.A.  Incorporated by
             reference to Exhibit (4)a.(1) filed as a part of our

        the Company's long-term debt and our subsidiaries have not
        been filed as exhibits to this Annual Report on Form 10-K
        because the total amount of securities authorized and
        outstanding under each instrument does not exceed 10% of the
        total assets of the Company on a consolidated basis.  We
        hereby agree to furnish a copy of each instrument to the
