GENERAL MOTORS FINANCIAL COMPANY, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, including certain special purpose financing trusts (“Trusts”) utilized in securitization transactions and credit facilities which are considered variable interest entities (“VIE’s”). All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
The interim period consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, are condensed and do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America. These interim period financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements that are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 27, 2012.
The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2012, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, are unaudited, and in management’s opinion include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim periods. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the amount of revenue and costs and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences may be material. These estimates include, among other things, the determination of the allowance for loan losses on finance receivables, estimated recovery value on leased vehicles, goodwill, intangible assets, income taxes and the expected cash flows on the pre-acquisition consumer finance receivables.
Recent Events
Commercial Lending
Overview
In April 2012, we launched our commercial lending platform to further support our General Motors Company ("GM") dealer relationships. Our commercial lending offerings consist of:
Floorplan financing - loans to primarily GM-franchised dealers and their affiliates to finance the purchase of vehicle inventory, also known as wholesale or inventory financing.
Dealer loans - loans to dealers to finance improvements to dealership facilities, to provide working capital, and to purchase and/or finance dealership real estate.
In support of the underwriting and risk monitoring process with respect to these loans, each dealer is assigned a risk rating based on various factors, including, but not limited to, capital sufficiency, operating performance, financial outlook, and credit and payment history, if available. The risk rating may affect the pricing and guides the management of the account. We monitor the level of borrowing under each dealer's account daily. When a dealer's outstanding balance exceeds the availability on any given credit line with that dealer, we may reallocate balances across existing lines, temporarily suspend the granting of additional credit, increase the dealer's credit line, either temporarily or for an extended period of time, or take other actions following an evaluation and analysis of the dealer's financial condition and the cause of the excess or overline. Under the terms of the credit agreement with the dealer, we may demand payment of interest and principal on wholesale credit lines at any time.
Floorplan Financing
We support the financing of new and used vehicle inventory purchases by primarily GM-franchised dealers and their affiliates before sale or lease to the retail customer. These loans are included in finance receivables in our financial statements. Financing is provided through lines of credit extended to individual dealers. In general, each floorplan line is secured by all financed vehicles and by other dealership assets and typically the continuing personal guarantee of the dealership's ownership. Additionally, to minimize our risk, under certain circumstances, such as dealer default, manufacturers are bound by a repurchase obligation that requires them to repurchase the new vehicle inventory according to applicable manufacturer or State parameters. The amount we advance to dealers for new vehicles purchased through the manufacturer is equal to 100% of the wholesale invoice price of new vehicles, which includes destination and other miscellaneous charges, and a price rebate, known as a holdback, from the manufacturer to the dealer in varying amounts stated as a percentage of the invoice price. We advance the loan proceeds directly to the manufacturer. Unless we terminate the credit line or the dealer defaults, we generally require payment of the principal amount financed for a vehicle upon its sale or lease by the dealer to the retail customer. To support the dealers' used car inventory needs, we advance funds to the dealer or auction to purchase used vehicles for inventory based on the appropriate book value for the region in which the dealer is located. Upon the sale of the collateral, the dealer must repay the advance on the sold vehicle according to the repayment terms. Typically the dealer has two to ten business days to repay an advance on a sold vehicle, depending on the timing of the receipt of the sale proceeds. These repayment terms can vary based on the risk rating. We periodically inspect and verify that the financed vehicles are on the dealership lot and available for sale. The timing of the verifications varies, and no advance notice is given to the dealer. Among other things, verifications are intended to determine dealer compliance with the master loan agreement as to repayment terms and to determine the status of our collateral.
Floorplan lending is structured to yield interest at a floating rate indexed to the prime rate. The rate for a particular dealer is based on, among other things, the dealer's credit worthiness, the amount of the credit line, the risk rating and whether or not the dealer is in default. Interest on floorplan loans is generally payable monthly.
Dealer Loans
We make loans to dealers to finance improvements to dealership facilities, to provide working capital and to purchase and finance dealership real estate.  These loans are included in finance receivables in our financial statements.  These loans are typically secured by mortgages or deeds of trust on dealership land and buildings, a priority security interest in other dealership assets and typically the continuing personal guarantees from the owners of the dealerships and/or the real estate. Dealer loans are structured to yield interest at fixed or floating rates. Floating rate loans are generally indexed to the prime rate. Interest on dealer loans is generally payable monthly.
Charge-off Policy
Commercial receivables are individually evaluated and where collectability of the recorded balance is in doubt are written down to fair value of the collateral less costs to sell. Commercial receivables are charged-off at the earlier of when they are deemed uncollectible or reach 360 days past due.
Troubled Debt Restructurings
For evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR") our policy for consumer loans is that both of the following must exist: (i) the restructuring constitutes a concession; and (ii) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. In accordance with our policies and guidelines, we, at times, offer payment deferrals to consumers. Each deferral allows the consumer to move up to two delinquent monthly payments to the end of the loan generally by paying a fee (approximately the interest portion of the payment deferred, except where state law provides for a lesser amount). A loan that is deferred two or more times would be considered significantly delayed and therefore meet the definition of a concession. A loan currently in payment default as the result of being delinquent would also represent a debtor experiencing financial difficulties. Therefore, considering these two factors, the second deferment granted by us on a loan would be considered a TDR and the loan impaired. Accounts in Chapter 13 bankruptcy which have an interest rate or principal adjustment as part of a confirmed backruptcy plan would also be considered TDRs. The pre-acquisition portfolio is excluded from the TDR policy since expected future credit losses were recognized in the purchase accounting for that portfolio.
Commercial receivables subject to forbearance, moratoriums, extension agreements, or other actions intended to minimize economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral are classified as TDRs. We do not grant concessions on the principal balance of dealer loans.
Related Party Transactions
We were acquired by GM on October 1, 2010. We offer loan and lease finance products through GM dealers to consumers purchasing new and certain used vehicles manufactured by GM. GM makes cash payments to us for offering incentivized rates and structures on these loan and lease finance products under a subvention program. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had intercompany receivables from GM in the amount of $34.3 million and $37.4 million, respectively. These amounts represent $27.2 million and $37.4 million due at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, from GM under the subvention program which results in a non-cash investing activity and a $7.1 million intercompany receivable at June 30, 2012 related to commercial loans to dealers that are majority owned and consolidated by GM in connection with our commercial lending program.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, ASU ("2011-04"), Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, was issued effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The adoption of 2011-04 gives fair value the same meaning between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs"), and improves consistency of disclosures relating to fair value. We adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2012, and the adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In June 2011, ASU ("2011-05"), Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income, was issued effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. 2011-05 amends current guidance on reporting comprehensive income and eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders’ equity. Instead, comprehensive income must be reported in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income which contains two sections, net income and other comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. In December 2011, ASU 2011-12 was issued deferring the effective date for implementation of ASU 2011-05 related only to reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive income until a later date to be determined after further consideration by the FASB. We adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2012, and the adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows as we already present a statement of comprehensive income.
In December 2011, ASU ("2011-11"), Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, was issued effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2013. 2011-11 amends the disclosure requirements on offsetting in ASC Topic 210 by requiring enhanced disclosures about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (i) offset in accordance with existing guidance or (ii) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset on the balance sheet. ASU 2011-11 is effective for us starting January 1, 2013 and we do not expect the adoption to have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The accrual of finance charge income has been suspended on $412.0 million and $439.4 million of consumer receivables (based on contractual amount due) as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
Consumer finance contracts are purchased by us from auto dealers without recourse, and accordingly, the dealer has no liability to us if the consumer defaults on the contract. Depending upon the contract structure and consumer credit attributes, we may pay dealers a participation fee or we may charge dealers a non-refundable acquisition fee when purchasing individual finance contracts. We also have manufacturer incentive programs with GM and other new vehicle manufacturers, typically known as subvention programs, under which the manufacturers provide us cash payments in order for us to offer lower interest rates on consumer finance contracts we purchase. We record the amortization of participation fees and subvention and accretion of acquisition fees to finance charge income using the effective interest method.
We review our pre-acquisition portfolio for differences between contractual cash flows and the cash flows expected to be collected from our pre-acquisition portfolio to determine if the difference is attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, as a result of improvements in the credit performance of the pre-acquisition portfolio, which resulted in an increase of expected cash flows of $169.6 million, we transferred this excess from the non-accretable discount to accretable yield. This excess will be amortized through finance charge income over the remaining life of the portfolio.

Impaired Finance Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings
Consumer receivables in the post-acquisition portfolio that become classified as TDRs are separately assessed for impairment. A specific allowance is estimated based on the present value of the expected future cash flows of the receivable discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate. At June 30, 2012, the financial effects of the accounts in the post-acquisition portfolio that became classified as TDRs resulted in an impairment charge recorded as part of the provision for loan losses. Accounts that become classified as TDRs because of a payment deferral still accrue interest at the contractual rate and an additional fee is collected at each time of deferral and recorded as a reduction of accrued interest. No interest or fees are forgiven on a payment deferral to a customer and therefore, there are no additional financial effects of deferred loans becoming classified as TDRs. Accounts in Chapter 13 bankruptcy would have already been placed on non-accrual, therefore there are no additional financial effects of these loans becoming classified as TDRs.
The outstanding recorded investment for consumer finance receivables that are considered to be TDRs and the related allowance as of June 30, 2012 is shown below (in thousands):

All accounts noted above had a related allowance for loan losses. At December 31, 2011, the amount of consumer finance receivables in the post-acquisition portfolio that would be considered TDRs was insignificant.
Interest income from loans accounted for as TDRs is accounted for in the same manner as other accruing loans. Cash collections on these loans are allocated according to the same payment hierarchy methodology applied to loans that are not classified as TDRs.

There were no commercial receivables on non-accrual as of June 30, 2012.
Credit Risk
Our commercial finance receivables consist of dealer floorplan financings and dealer loans. A proprietary model is used to assign a risk rating to each dealer. A credit review of each dealer is performed at least annually and, if necessary, the dealer's risk rating is adjusted on the basis of the review.
Delinquency
At June 30, 2012, all commercial receivables were current with respect to payment status.
Impaired Finance Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings
Commercial receivables classified as TDRs are assessed for impairment and included in our allowance for credit losses based on the present value of the expected future cash flows of the receivable discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate. For receivables where foreclosure is probable, the fair value of the collateral is used to estimate the specific impairment. At June 30, 2012, there were no outstanding commercial receivables classified as TDRs.

Cash flows received for the servicing of securitizations consolidated as VIE’s are a component of finance charge income on the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
We retain servicing responsibilities for receivables transferred to the Trusts. Included in finance charge income is a monthly base servicing fee earned on the outstanding principal balance of our securitized receivables and supplemental fees (such as late charges) for servicing the receivables.
As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, we were servicing $9.5 billion and $7.9 billion of finance receivables that have been transferred to the Trusts.

In May 2012, the facility was renewed and increased in size from $2.0 billion to $2.5 billion. In May 2013, when the revolving period ends, and if the facility is not renewed, the outstanding balance will be repaid over time based on the amortization of the receivables pledged until February 2020 when the remaining balance will be due and payable.
(b)
In January 2013 when the revolving period ends, and if the facility is not renewed, the outstanding balance will be repaid over time based on the amortization of the leasing related assets pledged until July 2018 when any remaining amount outstanding will be due and payable.
(c)
In July 2012, the facility was renewed and increased in size from C$600.0 million to C$800.0 million. In July 2013, when the revolving period ends, and if the facility is not renewed, the outstanding balance will be repaid over time based on the amortization of the leasing related assets pledged until January 2019 when any remaining amount outstanding will be due and payable. This facility amount represents C$600.0 million, advances outstanding of C$314.0 million, assets pledged of C$486.8 million and restricted cash pledged of C$2.3 million at June 30, 2012.
(d)
The revolving period under this facility ended in October 2009, and the outstanding debt balance will be repaid over time based on the amortization of the receivables pledged until October 2016 when any remaining amount outstanding will be due and payable.
(e)
Borrowings on the warehouse facilities are collateralized by finance receivables, while borrowings on the lease warehouse facilities are collateralized by leasing related assets.
(f)
These amounts do not include cash collected on finance receivables and leasing related assets pledged of $29.1 million which is also included in restricted cash – credit facilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
Our syndicated warehouse, lease warehouse and medium term note facilities are either administered by agents on behalf of institutionally managed commercial paper or medium term note conduits or funded directly by the lenders. Under these funding agreements, we transfer finance receivables or leasing related assets to our special purpose finance subsidiaries. These subsidiaries, in turn, issue notes to the agents, collateralized by such finance and lease contracts and cash. The agents provide funding under the notes to the subsidiaries pursuant to an advance formula, and the subsidiaries forward the funds to us in consideration for the transfer of assets. While these subsidiaries are included in our consolidated financial statements, these subsidiaries are separate legal entities and the finance receivables, leasing related assets and other assets held by these subsidiaries are legally owned by these subsidiaries and are not available to our creditors or our other subsidiaries. Advances under the funding agreements generally bear interest at commercial paper rates, London Interbank Offered Rates ("LIBOR"), Canadian Dollar Offered Rate ("CDOR") or prime rates plus a credit spread and specified fees depending upon the source of funds provided by the agents. In the syndicated warehouse, lease warehouse – Canada, and the medium term note facilities we are required to hold certain funds in restricted cash accounts to provide additional collateral for borrowings under these credit facilities.
Our credit facilities, other than the GM revolving credit facility, contain various covenants requiring minimum financial ratios, asset quality and portfolio performance ratios (portfolio net loss and delinquency ratios, and pool level cumulative net loss ratios) as well as limits on deferment levels. Failure to meet any of these covenants could result in an event of default under these agreements. If an event of default occurs under these agreements, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under these agreements to be immediately due and payable, enforce their interests against collateral pledged under these agreements, restrict our ability to obtain additional borrowings under these agreements and/or remove us as servicer. As of June 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants in our credit facilities.

_________________  
(a)
Maturity date represents final legal maturity of securitization notes payable. Securitization notes payable are expected to be paid based on amortization of the finance receivables pledged to Trusts.
(b)
Includes the private sale of asset-backed securities.
At the time of securitization of finance receivables, we are required to pledge assets equal to a specified percentage of the securitization pool to support the securitization transaction. Typically, the assets pledged consist of cash deposited to a restricted account and additional receivables delivered to the Trust, which create overcollateralization. The securitization transactions require the percentage of assets pledged to support the transaction to increase until a specified level is attained. Excess cash flows generated by the Trusts are added to the restricted cash account or used to pay down outstanding debt in the Trusts, creating overcollateralization until the targeted percentage level of assets has been reached. Once the targeted percentage level of assets is reached and maintained, excess cash flows generated by the Trusts are released to us as distributions from Trusts. Additionally, as the balance of the securitization pool declines, the amount of pledged assets needed to maintain the required percentage level is reduced. Assets in excess of the required percentage are also released to us as distributions from Trusts.
With respect to our securitization transactions covered by a financial guaranty insurance policy, agreements with the insurer provide that if portfolio performance ratios (delinquency, cumulative default or cumulative net loss) in a Trust’s pool of receivables exceed certain targets, the specified credit enhancement levels would be increased.
Agreements with our financial guaranty insurance provider contain additional specified targeted portfolio performance ratios that are higher than those described in the preceding paragraph. If, at any measurement date, the targeted portfolio performance ratios with respect to any insured Trust were to exceed these higher levels, provisions of the agreements permit our financial guaranty insurance provider to declare the occurrence of an event of default and terminate our servicing rights to the receivables transferred to that Trust. As of June 30, 2012, no such servicing right termination events have occurred with respect to any of the Trusts formed by us.

Generally, we purchase interest rate cap agreements to limit floating rate exposures on securities issued in our credit facilities. We utilize interest rate swap agreements to convert floating rate exposures on securities issued in securitization transactions to fixed rates, thereby hedging the variability in interest expense paid. Interest rate swap agreements designated as hedges had unrealized losses of $0.1 million and gains of $2.4 million included in accumulated other comprehensive income as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The ineffectiveness gain (loss) related to the interest rate swap agreements was $(0.1) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and $1.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. We estimate approximately $0.1 million of unrealized losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months.
Interest rate swap agreements not designated as hedges had a change in fair value which resulted in insignificant gains for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, and are included in interest expense on the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, respectively.
Under the terms of our derivative financial instruments, we are required to pledge certain funds to be held in restricted cash accounts as collateral for the outstanding derivative transactions. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, these restricted cash accounts totaled $6.4 million and $35.5 million, respectively, and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUES OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value measurement requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and also establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels.
There are three general valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value, as described below:
(i)
Market approach – Uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. Prices may be indicated by pricing guides, sale transactions, market trades, or other sources;
(ii)
Cost approach – Based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost); and
(iii)
Income approach – Uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations about the future amounts (includes present value techniques and option-pricing models). Net present value is an income approach where a stream of expected cash flows is discounted at an appropriate market interest rate.
Financial instruments are considered Level 1 when quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Financial instruments are considered Level 2 when inputs other than quoted prices are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for

4


identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their values are determined using price models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. Level 3 financial instruments also include those for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. A brief description of the valuation techniques used for our Level 3 assets and liabilities is provided below.
Derivatives
The fair values of our interest rate cap derivatives are valued based on quoted market prices received from bank counterparties and are classified as Level 2.
Our interest rate swaps are not exchange traded but instead trade in over-the-counter markets where quoted market prices are not readily available. The fair value of derivatives is derived using models that use primarily market observable inputs, such as interest rate yield curves and credit curves. Any derivative fair value measurements using significant assumptions that are unobservable are classified as Level 3, which include interest rate swaps whose remaining terms extend beyond market observable interest rate yield curves. The fair value of our interest rate swaps use observable and unobservable inputs within a cash flow model. Those unobservable inputs reflect assumptions regarding expected prepayments, deferrals, delinquencies and charge-offs of the loans within the finance receivable portfolio. The cash flow model produces an estimated amortization schedule of the finance receivables which is the basis for the calculation of the series of expected payments and receipts that derive the fair value of the interest rate swaps. The series of payments are calculated and discounted using observable interest rate yield curves. The counterparties’ non-performance risk to the derivative trades is also considered when measuring the fair value of the derivatives. Macroeconomic factors after purchase could negatively affect the credit performance of our portfolio and our counterparties and therefore, could potentially impact the assumptions used in our cash flow model.
Assets and liabilities itemized below were measured at fair value on a recurring basis, using either the market approach (i), the cost approach (ii) or the income approach (iii) as described above:

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Guarantees of Indebtedness
The payments of principal and interest on our senior notes and convertible senior notes are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. The par value of the senior notes and convertible senior notes was $500.5 million for both June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. See guarantor consolidating financial statements in Note 13.

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES
We had unrecognized tax benefits of $49.9 million and $48.1 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits including the federal benefit of state taxes, if recognized, that would affect the effective tax rate is $28.9 million and $26.5 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
At June 30, 2012, we believe that it is reasonably possible that the balance of the gross unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by $1.5 million to $15.0 million in the next twelve months due to ongoing activities with various taxing jurisdictions that we expect may give rise to settlements or the expiration of statutes of limitations. We continually evaluate expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax laws and new authoritative rulings.
We recognize accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of the income tax provision. As of January 1, 2012, accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions were $21.4 million and $10.0 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we accrued an additional $2.1 million in potential interest and accrued an additional $0.7 million in potential penalties associated with uncertain tax positions.
We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state, local, and foreign jurisdictions. Our U.S. federal income tax returns prior to fiscal 2006 are no longer subject to tax examinations. Our federal income tax returns for fiscal 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 are under audit by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). Foreign and state jurisdictions have statutes of limitations that generally range from three to five years. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities prior to fiscal 2005. Certain of our state tax returns are currently under examination in various state tax jurisdictions. As of October 1, 2010, we are included in GM's consolidated U.S. federal income tax return and will continue to be included in subsequent year returns filed by GM. These tax years are subject to examination by the tax authorities. Similarly, we also file unitary, combined or consolidated state and local tax returns with GM in certain jurisdictions. In some taxing jurisdictions where filing a separate income tax return is mandated, we will continue to file separately.
For taxable income recognized by us in any period beginning on or after October 1, 2010, we are obligated to pay GM for our separate federal or state tax liabilities. Likewise, GM is obligated to reimburse us for the tax effects of net operating losses to the extent such losses are carried back by us to a period beginning on or after October 1, 2010, determined as if we had filed separate income tax returns. Amounts owed to or from GM for income tax are accrued and recorded as an intercompany payable or receivable. Under our tax sharing arrangement with GM, payments for the tax years 2010 through 2013 are deferred for three years from their original due date. The total amount of deferral is not to exceed $650 million. Any difference between the amounts to be paid or received under our tax sharing arrangement with GM and our separate return basis used for financial reporting purposes would be reported in our consolidated financial statements as additional paid-in capital. As of June 30, 2012, we have recorded intercompany taxes payable to GM in the amount of $478.2 million representing the tax effects of income earned subsequent to the merger with GM.
Our effective income tax rate was 37.1% and 37.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. Our effective income tax rate was 33.5% and 36.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.

NOTE 11 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques in cases where quoted market prices are not available. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and the estimated timing and amount of future cash flows. Therefore, the estimates of fair value may differ substantially from amounts that ultimately may be realized or paid at settlement or maturity of the financial instruments and those differences may be material. Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments exclude certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from our disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of our Company.

_________________  
(a)
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash – securitization notes payable, restricted cash – credit facilities and restricted cash – other is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value since these investments bear interest at market rates and have maturities of less than 90 days.
(b)
The fair value of the consumer finance receivables is estimated based upon forecasted cash flows on the receivables discounted using a pre-tax weighted average cost of capital. The forecast includes among other things items such as prepayment, defaults, recoveries and fee income assumptions. Substantially all commercial finance receivables have variable rates of interest and maturities of one year. Therefore, carrying value is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.
(c)
The syndicated and lease warehouse facilities have variable rates of interest and maturities of approximately one year. Therefore, carrying value is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.
(d)
The fair values of the interest rate cap and swap agreements, medium term note facility and Wachovia funding facility, securitization notes payable, senior notes and convertible senior notes are based on quoted market prices, when available. If quoted market prices are not available, the market value is estimated by discounting future net cash flows expected to be settled using a current risk-adjusted rate.
There were no transfers of recurring fair values between levels.
The fair value of our consumer finance receivables use observable and unobservable inputs within a cash flow model. Those unobservable inputs reflect assumptions regarding expected prepayments, deferrals, delinquencies, recoveries and charge-offs of the loans within the portfolio. The cash flow model produces an estimated amortization schedule of the finance receivables which is the basis for the calculation of the series of cash flows that derive the fair value of the portfolio. The series of cash flows are calculated and discounted using a weighted average cost of capital using unobservable debt and equity percentages, an unobservable cost of equity, and an observable cost of debt based on companies with a similar credit rating and maturity profile as our portfolio. Macroeconomic factors could affect the credit performance of our portfolio and therefore, could potentially impact the assumptions used in our cash flow model.
The medium term note facility uses observable and unobservable inputs to estimate fair value. Observable inputs are used regarding an advance rate on the receivables to generate an estimated debt amount as well as the interest rate used to calculate the series of estimated principal payments. Those series of interest payments are discounted using an unobservable interest rate based on the most recent securitization in order to estimate fair value which would approximate the replacement value.
Securitization notes payable uses observable inputs to estimate fair value. Observable inputs are used by obtaining active prices based on the securitization debt issued during the same time frame.
We use observable and unobservable inputs to estimate fair value for the private securitization 2012 - PPI. Unobservable inputs are related to the structuring of the debt into various classes, which is based on public securitizations issued during the same time frame. Observable inputs are used by obtaining active prices based on the securitization debt issued during the same time frame. These observable inputs are then used to create expected market prices (unobservable input), which are then applied to the debt classes in order to estimate fair value which would approximate market value.

NOTE 13 – GUARANTOR CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Subsequent to the issuance of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, we identified certain errors in the presentation of the consolidating financial statements contained in this footnote as of December 31, 2011, June 30, 2011 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. The errors are related to the allocation of carrying value adjustments, as well as certain intercompany equity transactions, between AmeriCredit Financial Services, Inc. (the "Guarantor"), our principal operating subsidiary and our other subsidiaries (the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries") which occurred during the recast of the consolidating financial statements to reflect the new guarantor structure in 2011. These adjustments did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2011, as of June 30, 2011 or for the three or six months ended June 30, 2011.

The payment of principal and interest on the 6.75% senior notes issued in June 2011 are currently guaranteed solely by the Guarantor and none of our other subsidiaries. The separate financial statements of the Guarantor are not included herein because the Guarantor is a wholly owned consolidated subsidiary and is unconditionally liable for the obligations represented by the senior notes. Some of our Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries had previously guaranteed the payment of principal and interest on our senior notes and convertible senior notes that were outstanding prior to the issuance of the 6.75% senior notes. These previously outstanding senior notes have been repaid in full and the amount of convertible senior notes that currently remain outstanding under the previous guarantor structure is immaterial. As a result, the consolidating financial statements for June 30, 2011 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 have been recast to reflect the current guarantor structure for the 6.75% senior notes.
The consolidating financial statements present consolidating financial data for (i) General Motors Financial Company, Inc. (on a parent only basis), (ii) the Guarantor, (iii) the combined Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, (iv) an elimination column for adjustments to arrive at the information for the parent company and our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis and (v) the parent company and our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as of December 31, 2011June 30, 2012 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the parent company using the equity method for purposes of this presentation. Results of operations of subsidiaries are therefore reflected in the parent company's investment accounts and earnings. The principal elimination entries set forth below eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions.

Item 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
We are an auto finance company specializing in purchasing retail automobile installment sales contracts originated by franchised and select independent dealers in connection with the sale of used and new automobiles. We were acquired by General Motors Company ("GM") on October 1, 2010. In December 2010, we began offering a lease product through GM franchised dealerships and, in April 2012, launched a commercial lending platform to further support our GM dealer relationships. We generate revenue and cash flows primarily through the purchase, retention, subsequent securitization and servicing of finance contracts and origination and retention of lease contracts. As used herein, "loans" include auto finance receivables originated by dealers and purchased by us. To fund the acquisition of finance and lease contracts prior to securitization, we use available cash and borrowings under our credit facilities. We earn finance charge and other income on the finance and lease contracts and pay interest expense on borrowings under our credit facilities.
Through wholly owned subsidiaries, we periodically transfer receivables to securitization trusts ("Trusts") that issue asset-backed securities to investors. We retain an interest in these securitization transactions in the form of restricted cash accounts and overcollateralization, whereby more receivables are transferred to the Trusts than the amount of asset-backed securities issued by the Trusts, as well as the estimated future excess cash flows expected to be received by us over the life of the securitization. Excess cash flows result from the difference between the finance charges received from the obligors on the receivables and the interest paid to investors in the asset-backed securities, net of credit losses and expenses.
Excess cash flows from the Trusts are initially utilized to fund credit enhancement requirements in order to attain specific credit ratings for the asset-backed securities issued by the Trusts. Once targeted credit enhancement requirements are reached and maintained, excess cash flows are distributed to us or, in a securitization utilizing a senior subordinated structure, may be used to accelerate the repayment of certain subordinated securities. In addition to excess cash flows, we receive monthly base servicing fees and we collect other fees, such as late charges, as servicer for Trusts. For securitization transactions that involve the purchase of a financial guaranty insurance policy, credit enhancement requirements will increase if specified portfolio performance ratios are exceeded. Excess cash flows otherwise distributable to us from Trusts in which the portfolio performance ratios were exceeded and from other Trusts which may be subject to limited cross-collateralization provisions are accumulated in the Trusts until such higher levels of credit enhancement are reached and maintained. Senior subordinated securitizations typically do not utilize portfolio performance ratios.
Our securitization transactions utilize special purpose entities which are also variable interest entities ("VIE's") that meet the requirements to be consolidated in our financial statements. Following a securitization, the finance receivables and the related securitization notes payable remain on the consolidated balance sheets. We recognize finance charge and fee income on the receivables and interest expense on the securities issued in the securitization transaction and record a provision for loan losses to cover probable loan losses on the receivables.
Recent Events
Commercial Lending
Overview
In April 2012, we launched our commercial lending platform to further support our GM dealer relationships. Our commercial lending offerings consist of:
Floorplan financing - loans to primarily GM-franchised dealers and their affiliates to finance the purchase of vehicle inventory, also known as wholesale or inventory financing.
Dealer loans - loans to dealers to finance improvements to dealership facilities, to provide working capital, and to purchase and/or finance dealership real estate.
In support of the underwriting and risk monitoring process with respect to these loans, each dealer is assigned a risk rating based on various factors, including, but not limited to, capital sufficiency, operating performance, financial outlook, and credit and payment history, if available. The risk rating may affect the pricing and guides the management of the account. We monitor the level of borrowing under each dealer's account daily. When a dealer's outstanding balance exceeds the availability on any given credit line with that dealer, we may reallocate balances across existing lines, temporarily suspend the granting of additional credit, increase the dealer's credit line, either temporarily of for an extended period of time, or take other actions following an evaluation and analysis of the dealer's financial condition and the cause of the excess or overline. Under the terms of the credit agreement with the dealer, we may demand payment of interest and principal on wholesale credit lines at any time.

Floorplan Financing
We support the financing of new and used vehicle inventory purchases by primarily GM-franchised dealers and their affiliates before sale or lease to the retail customer. These loans are included in finance receivables in our financial statements. Financing is provided through lines of credit extended to individual dealers. In general, each floorplan line is secured by all financed vehicles and by other dealership assets and typically the continuing personal guarantee of the dealership's ownership. Additionally, to minimize our risk, under certain circumstances, such as dealer default, manufacturers are bound by a repurchase obligation that requires them to repurchase the new vehicle inventory according to applicable manufacturer or State parameters. The amount we advance to dealers for new vehicles purchased through the manufacturer is equal to 100% of the wholesale invoice price of new vehicles, which includes destination and other miscellaneous charges, and a price rebate, known as a holdback, from the manufacturer to the dealer in varying amounts stated as a percentage of the invoice price. We advance the loan proceeds directly to the manufacturer. Unless we terminate the credit line or the dealer defaults, we generally require payment of the principal amount financed for a vehicle upon its sale or lease by the dealer to the retail customer. To support the dealers' used car inventory needs, we advance funds to the dealer or auction to purchase used vehicles for inventory based on the appropriate book value for the region in where the dealer is located. Upon the sale of the collateral, the dealer must repay the advance on the sold vehicle according to the repayment terms. Typically the dealer has two to ten business days to repay an advance on a sold vehicle, depending on the timing of the receipt of the sale proceeds. These repayment terms can vary based on the risk rating. We periodically inspect and verify that the financed vehicles are on the dealership lot and available for sale. The timing of the verifications varies, and no advance notice is given to the dealer. Among other things, verifications are intended to determine dealer compliance with the master loan agreement as to repayment terms and to determine the status of our collateral.
Floorplan lending is structured to yield interest at a floating rate indexed to the prime rate. The rate for a particular dealer is based on, among other things, the dealer's credit worthiness, the amount of the credit line, the risk rating and whether or not the dealer is in default. Interest on floorplan loans is generally payable monthly.
Dealer Loans
We make loans to dealers to finance improvements to dealership facilities, to provide working capital and to purchase and finance dealership real estate.  These loans are included in finance receivables in our financial statements.  These loans are typically secured by mortgages or deeds of trust on dealership land and buildings, a priority security interest in other dealership assets and typically the continuing personal guarantees from the owners of the dealerships and/or the real estate. Dealer loans are structured to yield interest at fixed or floating rates. Floating rate loans are generally indexed to the prime rate. Interest on dealer loans is generally payable monthly.

Revenue:
Finance charge income increased by 38.6% to $403.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $290.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, primarily due to the 15.3% increase in average finance receivables combined with an increased yield on the pre-acquisition portfolio due to the transfer of excess cash flows from non-accretable discount to accretable yield. The effective yield on our finance receivables increased to 15.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from 13.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 due to the transfer of excess cash flows from non-accretable discount to accretable yield. The effective yield represents finance charges and fees recorded in earnings during the period as a percentage of average finance receivables.

Leasing income increased by 205.6% to $66.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $21.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, primarily due to the increased size of the leased asset portfolio.
Costs and Expenses:
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased by 8.6% to $92.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $85.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Our operating expenses are predominately related to personnel costs that include base salary and wages, performance incentives and benefits as well as related employment taxes. Due to increased headcount, our personnel costs increased by $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011 and represented 76.7% and 75.4% of total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Operating expenses as an annualized percentage of average earning assets decreased to 3.2% from 3.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, due to efficiency gains resulting from the increase in average earning assets.
Leased Vehicle Expenses
Leased vehicle expenses increased by 289.5% to $51.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $13.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 due to the increased size of the leased asset portfolio. Our leased vehicle expenses are predominately related to depreciation as well as the gain or loss on the disposition of leased assets.
Provision for Loan losses
Provisions for loan losses are charged to operations to bring our allowance for loan losses to a level which management considers adequate to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the portfolio of post-acquisition consumer finance receivables. The provision for loan losses recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 reflects inherent losses on receivables originated during the period and changes in the amount of inherent losses on post-acquisition receivables originated in prior periods. The provision for loan losses increased to $61.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $44.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as a result of the impairment charge recorded on receivables classified as TDRs. As an annualized percentage of average post-acquisition consumer finance receivables, the provision for loan losses was 2.4% and 2.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased to $64.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $42.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Interest expense was reduced by $9.0 million and $21.4 million for amortization of the purchase accounting premium for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Average debt outstanding was $8.9 billion and $7.5 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our effective rate of interest on our debt increased to 2.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to 2.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. The effective rate increase as a result of the 6.75% senior notes issued in June 2011 and the decreasing impact of the amortization of the purchase accounting premium.
Taxes
Our effective income tax rate was 37.1% and 33.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements fluctuate based upon changes in forward interest rate expectations.
Unrealized losses on cash flow hedges of our floating rate debt are reclassified into earnings when interest rate fluctuations on securitization notes payable or other hedged items affect earnings.
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment
Foreign currency translation adjustment losses of $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and insignificant losses for the three months ended June 30, 2011, were included in other comprehensive loss. The translation adjustment is due to the change in the value of our Canadian dollar denominated assets related to the change in the U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar conversion rates during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

An account is considered delinquent if a substantial portion of a scheduled payment has not been received by the date such payment was contractually due. Delinquencies may vary from period to period based upon the average age or seasoning of the portfolio, seasonality within the calendar year and economic factors. Due to our target customer base, a relatively high percentage of accounts become delinquent at some point in the life of a loan and there is a high rate of account movement between and delinquent status in the portfolio.
Delinquencies have generally trended downward since early calendar year 2009 as a result of the favorable credit performance of loans originated since early calendar year 2008 and stabilization of economic conditions.
Deferrals
In accordance with our policies and guidelines, we, at times, offer payment deferrals to consumers, whereby the consumer is allowed to move up to two delinquent payments to the end of the loan generally by paying a fee (approximately the interest portion of the payment deferred, except where state law provides for a lesser amount). Our policies and guidelines limit the number and frequency of deferments that may be granted. Additionally, we generally limit the granting of deferments on new accounts until a requisite number of payments have been received. Due to the nature of our customer base and policies and guidelines of the deferral program, which policies and guidelines have not changed materially in several years, approximately 50% to 60% of accounts historically comprising the consumer finance portfolio receive a deferral at some point in the life of the account.
An account for which all delinquent payments are deferred or paid in a deferment transaction is classified as current at the time the deferment is granted and therefore is not included as a delinquent account. Thereafter, such account is aged based on the timely payment of future installments in the same manner as any other account.

Contracts receiving a payment deferral as an average quarterly percentage of average consumer finance receivables outstanding were 5.3% and 4.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 and 5.3% and 5.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

We evaluate the results of our deferment strategies based upon the amount of cash installments that are collected on accounts after they have been deferred versus the extent to which the collateral underlying the deferred accounts has depreciated over the same period of time. Based on this evaluation, we believe that payment deferrals granted according to our policies and guidelines are an effective portfolio management technique and result in higher ultimate cash collections from the portfolio.
Changes in deferment levels do not have a direct impact on the ultimate amount of finance receivables charged-off by us. However, the timing of a charge-off may be affected if the previously deferred account ultimately results in a charge-off. To the extent that deferrals impact the ultimate timing of when an account is charged-off, historical charge-off ratios, loss confirmation periods and cash flow forecasts for loans classified as TDRs used in the determination of the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses are also impacted. Increased use of deferrals may result in a lengthening of the loss confirmation period, which would increase expectations of credit losses inherent in the portfolio and therefore increase the allowance for loan losses and related provision for loan losses. Changes in these ratios and periods are considered in determining the appropriate level of allowance for loan losses and related provision for loan losses.

Credit Losses - non-GAAP measure
We analyze portfolio performance of both the pre-acquisition and post-acquisition portfolios on a combined basis. This information allows us and investors the ability to analyze credit loss trends in the combined portfolio. Additionally, credit losses, on a combined basis, facilitates comparisons of current and historical results.

(a)
Mandatory credit losses represent accounts 120 days delinquent in the post-acquisition portfolio that are charged-off in full with no recovery amounts realized at time of charge-off net of any subsequent recoveries and the net write-down of finance receivables in repossession to the net realizable value of the repossessed vehicle when the repossessed vehicle is legally available for sale.
(b)
Average finance receivables are defined as the average daily receivable balance excluding the carrying value adjustment.
While the accounting related to charge-offs has been impacted by the application of purchase accounting related to our acquisition by GM, the dollar amount and percentage of net credit losses is comparable between the pre-acquisition and the post-acquisition portfolios. Net credit losses as a percentage of average consumer finance receivables outstanding may vary from period to period based upon the average age or seasoning of the portfolio and economic conditions. Net credit losses have generally trended down since fiscal 2009 as a result of the favorable credit performance of loans originated since early calendar year 2008, stabilization of economic conditions and improved recovery rates on repossessed collateral.

All commercial finance receivables were current with respect to payment status.
Commercial receivables subject to forbearance, moratoriums, extension agreements, or other actions intended to minimize economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral are classified as TDRs. We do not grant concessions on the principal balance of dealer loans. Commercial receivables classified as TDRs are assessed for impairment and included in our allowance for credit losses based on the present value of the expected future cash flows of the receivable discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate. For receivables where foreclosure is probable, the fair value of the collateral is used to estimate the specific impairment. At June 30, 2012, there were no outstanding commercial receivables classified as TDRs.
There were no charge-offs of commercial finance receivables during the three months ended June 30, 2012.
Leased Vehicles
We primarily provide funding for leased vehicles to prime quality customers, and, therefore, anticipate a corresponding low level of delinquencies and charge-offs. At June 30, 2012, 99.7% of our leases were current with respect to payment status. Leased vehicles returned - default was $0.9 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 and $2.2 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
General
Our primary sources of cash are finance charge and other income, servicing fees, distributions from Trusts, borrowings under credit facilities, transfers of finance receivables to Trusts in securitization transactions, collections and recoveries on finance receivables and issuances of senior notes and other debt securities. Our primary uses of cash are purchases of finance receivables and leased vehicles, repayment of credit facilities and securitization notes payable, funding credit enhancement requirements for securitization transactions and credit facilities and operating expenses.
We used cash of $2.9 billion and $2.5 billion for the purchase of consumer finance receivables during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We used cash of $173.2 million for the purchase of commercial finance receivables during the three months ended June 30, 2012. We used cash of $0.6 billion and $0.4 billion for the purchase of leased vehicles during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. These purchases were funded initially utilizing cash and borrowings on our credit facilities. Subsequently, our strategy is to obtain long-term financing for finance receivables and leased vehicles through securitization transactions.
Liquidity
Our available liquidity consists of the following (in thousands):

$
2,143,081

The increase in liquidity is derived from improved credit performance which leads to an increase in distributions from Trusts combined with the unwind of several older securitizations with high enhancement levels. Our current level of liquidity is considered sufficient to meet our obligations.
Credit Facilities
In the normal course of business, in addition to using our available cash, we pledge assets and borrow under our credit facilities to fund our operations and repay these borrowings as appropriate under our cash management strategy.

We are required to hold certain funds in restricted cash accounts to provide additional collateral for borrowings under certain of our facilities. Additionally, our credit facilities, other than the GM revolving credit facility, contain various covenants requiring minimum financial ratios, asset quality and portfolio performance ratios (portfolio net loss and delinquency ratios, and pool level cumulative net loss ratios) as well as limits on deferment levels. Failure to meet any of these covenants could result in an event of default under these agreements. If an event of default occurs under these agreements, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under these agreements to be immediately due and payable, enforce their interests against collateral

20


pledged under these agreements, restrict our ability to obtain additional borrowings under these agreements and/or remove us as servicer. As of June 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants in our credit facilities.
Securitizations
We have completed over 80 securitization transactions through June 30, 2012. The proceeds from the transactions were primarily used to repay borrowings outstanding under our credit facilities.

(a)
Maturity dates represent final legal maturity of securitization notes payable. Securitization notes payable are expected to be paid based on amortization of the finance receivables pledged to the Trusts.
(b)
Includes the private sale of asset-backed securities.
Our securitizations utilize special purpose entities which are also VIE’s that meet the requirements to be consolidated in our financial statements. Accordingly, following a securitization, the finance receivables and the related securitization notes payable remain on the consolidated balance sheets. Finance receivables are transferred to a Trust, which is one of our special purpose finance subsidiaries, and the Trusts issue one or more series of asset-backed securities (securitization notes payable). While these Trusts are included in our consolidated financial statements, these Trusts are separate legal entities; thus the finance receivables and other assets held by these Trusts are legally owned by these Trusts, are available to satisfy the related securitization notes payable and are not available to our creditors or our other subsidiaries.
At the time of securitization of finance receivables, we are required to pledge assets equal to a specified percentage of the securitization pool to support the securitization transaction. Typically, the assets pledged consist of cash deposited to a restricted account and additional receivables delivered to the Trust, which create overcollateralization. The securitization transactions require the percentage of assets pledged to support the transaction to increase until a specified level is attained. Excess cash flows generated by the Trusts are added to the restricted cash account or used to pay down outstanding debt in the Trusts, creating overcollateralization until the targeted percentage level of assets has been reached. Once the targeted percentage level of assets is reached and maintained, excess cash flows generated by the Trusts are released to us as distributions from Trusts. Additionally, as the balance of the securitization pool declines, the amount of pledged assets needed to maintain the required percentage level is reduced. Assets in excess of the required percentage are also released to us as distributions from Trusts.
Since the second half of 2008, we have primarily utilized senior subordinated securitization structures which involve the public and private sale of subordinated asset-backed securities to provide credit enhancement for the senior, or highest rated, asset-backed securities. In June 2012, we closed a $1.2 billion senior subordinated securitization transaction, AmeriCredit Automobile Receivables Trust ("AMCAR") 2012-3, that has initial cash deposit and overcollateralization requirements of 7.25% in order to provide credit enhancement for the asset-backed securities sold, including the double-B rated securities which were the lowest rated securities sold. The level of credit enhancement in future senior subordinated securitizations will depend, in part, on the net interest margin, collateral characteristics, and credit performance trends of the receivables transferred, as well as our financial condition, the economic environment and our ability to sell subordinated bonds at interest rates we consider acceptable.
The second type of securitization structure that we last utilized in August 2010 involves the purchase of a financial guaranty insurance policy issued by an insurer. The financial guaranty insurance policies insure the timely payment of interest and the ultimate payment of principal due on the asset-backed securities. We have limited reimbursement obligations to the insurer; however, credit enhancement requirements, including the insurer's encumbrance of certain restricted cash accounts and

21


subordinated interests in Trusts, provide a source of funds to cover shortfalls in collections and to reimburse the insurer for any claims which may be made under the policies issued with respect to our securitizations. Since our securitization program’s inception, there have been no claims under any insurance policies. We do not anticipate utilizing this structure in the foreseeable future.
Certain cash flows related to securitization transactions were as follows (in thousands):

434,256

The agreements with the insurer of our securitization transactions covered by a financial guaranty insurance policy provide that if portfolio performance ratios (delinquency, cumulative default or cumulative net loss) in a Trust’s pool of receivables exceed certain targets, the specified credit enhancement levels would be increased.
The agreements that we have entered into with our financial guaranty insurance provider in connection with securitization transactions insured by them contain additional specified targeted portfolio performance ratios (delinquency, cumulative default and cumulative net loss) that are higher than the limits referred to above. If, at any measurement date, the targeted portfolio performance ratios with respect to any insured Trust were to exceed these additional levels, provisions of the agreements permit the financial guaranty insurance provider to declare the occurrence of an event of default and take steps to terminate our servicing rights to the receivables sold to that Trust. In addition, the servicing agreements on certain insured Trusts are cross-defaulted so that a default declared under one servicing agreement would allow the financial guaranty insurance provider to terminate our servicing rights under all servicing agreements for Trusts in which they issued a financial guaranty insurance policy. Additionally, if these higher targeted portfolio performance levels were exceeded and the financial guaranty insurance provider elect to declare an event of default, the insurance provider may retain all excess cash generated by other securitization transactions insured by them as additional credit enhancement. This, in turn, could result in defaults under our other securitizations and other material indebtedness, including under our senior note and convertible note indentures. As of June 30, 2012, no such servicing right termination events have occurred with respect to any of the Trusts formed by us.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, ASU ("2011-04"), Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, was issued effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The adoption of 2011-04 gives fair value the same meaning between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs"), and improves consistency of disclosures relating to fair value. We adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2012, and the adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In June 2011, ASU ("2011-05"), Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income, was issued effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. 2011-05 amends current guidance on reporting comprehensive income and eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders’ equity. Instead, comprehensive income must be reported in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income which contains two sections, net income and other comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. In December 2011, ASU 2011-12 was issued deferring the effective date for implementation of ASU 2011-05 related only to reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive income until a later date to be determined after further consideration by the FASB. We adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2012, and the adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows as we already present a statement of comprehensive income.
In December 2011, ASU ("2011-11"), Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, was issued effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2013. 2011-11 amends the disclosure requirements on offsetting in ASC Topic 210 by requiring enhanced disclosures about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (i) offset in accordance with existing guidance or (ii) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset on the balance sheet. ASU 2011-11 is effective for us starting January 1, 2013 and we do not expect the adoption to have an impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

INTEREST RATE RISK

22


Fluctuations in market interest rates impact our credit facilities and securitization transactions. Our gross interest rate spread, which is the difference between interest and other income earned on our finance receivables and lease contracts and interest paid, is affected by changes in interest rates as a result of our dependence upon the issuance of variable rate securities and the incurrence of variable rate debt to fund our purchases of finance receivables and leased assets.
Credit Facilities
Finance receivables and leased assets purchased by us and pledged to secure borrowings under our credit facilities bear fixed interest rates or money factors. Amounts borrowed under our credit facilities bear interest at variable rates that are subject to frequent adjustments to reflect prevailing market interest rates. To protect the interest rate spread within each credit facility, our special purpose finance subsidiaries are contractually required to purchase interest rate cap agreements in connection with borrowings under our credit facilities. The purchaser of the interest rate cap agreement pays a premium in return for the right to receive the difference in the interest cost at any time a specified index of market interest rates rises above the stipulated "cap" or "strike" rate. The purchaser of the interest rate cap agreement bears no obligation or liability if interest rates fall below the "cap" or "strike" rate. As part of our interest rate risk management strategy and when economically feasible, we may simultaneously sell a corresponding interest rate cap agreement in order to offset the premium paid by our special purpose finance subsidiary to purchase the interest rate cap agreement and thus retain the interest rate risk. The fair value of the interest rate cap agreement purchased by the special purpose finance subsidiary is included in other assets and the fair value of the interest rate cap agreement sold by us is included in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.
Securitizations
The interest rate demanded by investors in our securitization transactions depends on prevailing market interest rates for comparable transactions and the general interest rate environment. We utilize several strategies to minimize the impact of interest rate fluctuations on our gross interest rate margin, including the use of derivative financial instruments and the regular sale or pledging of finance receivables to Trusts.
In our securitization transactions, we transfer fixed rate finance receivables to Trusts that, in turn, sell either fixed rate or floating rate securities to investors. The fixed rates on securities issued by the Trusts are indexed to market interest rate swap spreads for transactions of similar duration or various London Interbank Offered Rates ("LIBOR") and do not fluctuate during the term of the securitization. The floating rates on securities issued by the Trusts are indexed to LIBOR and fluctuate periodically based on movements in LIBOR. Derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swap and cap agreements, are used to manage the gross interest rate spread on these transactions. We use interest rate swap agreements to convert the variable rate exposures on securities issued by our Trusts to a fixed rate ("pay rate") and receive a floating or variable rate ("receive rate"), thereby locking in the gross interest rate spread to be earned by us over the life of a securitization. Interest rate swap agreements purchased by us do not impact the amount of cash flows to be received by holders of the asset-backed securities issued by the Trusts. The interest rate swap agreements serve to offset the impact of increased or decreased interest paid by the Trusts on floating rate asset-backed securities on the cash flows to be received by us from the Trusts. We utilize such arrangements to modify our net interest sensitivity to levels deemed appropriate based on our risk tolerance. In circumstances where the interest rate risk is deemed to be tolerable, usually if the risk is less than one year in term at inception, we may choose not to hedge potential fluctuations in cash flows due to changes in interest rates. Our special purpose finance subsidiaries are contractually required to purchase a derivative financial instrument to protect the net spread in connection with the issuance of floating rate securities even if we choose not to hedge our future cash flows. Although the interest rate cap agreements are purchased by the Trusts, cash outflows from the Trusts ultimately impact our retained interests in the securitization transactions as cash expended by the Trusts will decrease the ultimate amount of cash to be received by us. Therefore, when economically feasible, we may simultaneously sell a corresponding interest rate cap agreement to offset the premium paid by the Trust to purchase the interest rate cap agreement. The fair value of the interest rate cap agreements purchased by the special purpose finance subsidiaries in connection with securitization transactions are included in other assets and the fair value of the interest rate cap agreements sold by us are included in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate cap agreements are reflected in interest expense on our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge the variability in interest payments on two of our active securitization transactions. Portions of these interest rate swap agreements are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. The fair value of interest rate swap agreements designated as hedges is included in liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Interest rate swap agreements that are not designated as hedges are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
Management monitors our hedging activities to ensure that the value of derivative financial instruments, their correlation to the contracts being hedged and the amounts being hedged continue to provide effective protection against interest rate risk. However, there can be no assurance that our strategies will be effective in minimizing interest rate risk or that increases in

23


interest rates will not have an adverse effect on our profitability. All transactions are entered into for purposes other than trading.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains several “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements are those that use words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "may," "likely," "should," "estimate," "continue," "future" or other comparable expressions. These words indicate future events and trends. Forward-looking statements are our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. These forward-looking statements are subject to many assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ significantly from historical results or from those anticipated by us. The most significant risks are detailed from time to time in our filings and reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. It is advisable not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to, and do not, publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, except as required by federal securities laws, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
The following factors are among those that may cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or from the forward-looking statements:
changes in general economic and business conditions;
GM's ability to sell new vehicles in the United States and Canada that we finance;
interest rate fluctuations;
our financial condition and liquidity, as well as future cash flows and earnings;
competition;
the effect, interpretation or application of new or existing laws, regulations, court decisions and accounting pronouncements;
the availability of sources of financing;
the level of net charge-offs, delinquencies and prepayments on the loans and leases we originate;
the prices at which used cars are sold in the wholesale auction markets;
changes in business strategy, including acquisitions and expansion of product lines and credit risk appetite; and
significant litigation.
If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those expected, estimated or projected.

Item 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Because our funding strategy is dependent upon the issuance of interest-bearing securities and the incurrence of debt, fluctuations in interest rates impact our profitability. Therefore, we employ various hedging strategies to minimize the risk of interest rate fluctuations. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Interest Rate Risk” for additional information regarding such market risks.
 
Item 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Such controls include those designed to ensure that information for disclosure is communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The CEO and CFO, with the participation of management, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2012. Based on their evaluation, they have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes made in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2012, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Limitations Inherent in all Controls
Our management, including the CEO and CFO, recognize that the disclosure controls and internal controls (discussed above) cannot prevent all errors or all attempts at fraud. Any controls system, no matter how well crafted and operated, can only provide reasonable, and not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in any control system, no evaluation or implementation of a control system can provide complete assurance that all control issues and all possible instances of fraud have been or will be detected.

Item 5.
OTHER INFORMATION
Correction of Guarantor Consolidating Financial Statements Footnote
Subsequent to the issuance of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, we identified certain errors in the presentation of the consolidating financial statements contained in the Guarantor Consolidating Financial Statements footnote. The errors are related to the allocation of carrying value adjustments, as well as certain intercompany equity transactions, between AmeriCredit Financial Services, Inc. (the "Guarantor"), our principal operating subsidiary and our other subsidiaries (the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries"), which occurred during the recast of the consolidating financial statements to reflect the new guarantor structure in 2011. These adjustments did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 or for the year ended December 31, 2011.
As a result, we will prospectively correct in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K our previously presented Guarantor Consolidating Financial Statements footnote. We believe the effects of these errors are not material to its previously issued consolidated financial statements. The impact of the restatements on specific line items in the Guarantor Consolidating Financial Statements footnote are presented below:

Retrospective Application of Accounting Standards Update 2011-05 - Comprehensive Income
In 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued accounting guidance that requires presentation of net income and total comprehensive income, together with their components, either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments do not alter any current recognition or measurement requirements in respect of items of other comprehensive income. The amendment was adopted and became effective for General Motors Financial Company, Inc.on January 1, 2012 and had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The financial information presented in Part I, Item 1 - Condensed Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q presents condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive operations in four separate and consecutive statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no material updates to the legal proceedings described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Item 1A.
RISK FACTORS
The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial also may adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
We may pursue strategic transactions which could be difficult to implement, disrupt our business or change our business profile significantly.
Any future strategic acquisition could involve numerous risks, including: (i) potential disruption of our ongoing business and distraction of management; (ii) difficulty integrating the acquired business; (iii) exposure to unknown, contingent or other liabilities, including litigation arising in connection with the acquisition; (iv) changing our business profile in ways that could have unintended negative consequences; (v) changing our leverage and balance sheet; (vi) the incurrence by us of substantial amounts of indebtedness; and (vii) the failure to achieve anticipated synergies.
If we enter into significant strategic transactions, the related accounting charges may affect our financial condition and results of operations, particularly in the case of an acquisition. The financing of any significant acquisition may result in changes in our capital structure, including the incurrence of additional indebtedness.
