    "As an executive management team, our strategic focus will remain the same," said President Daniel Berce. "We are committed to our plans to preserve and strengthen our capital and liquidity. We are positioning AmeriCredit to generate positive cash flow by the June 2003 quarter and build liquidity thereafter. I look forward to leading the AmeriCredit team as we face the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead."
    "AmeriCredit has a team of highly experienced executives with full knowledge and understanding of the challenges ahead. The Board has confidence that the Company will prosper under the leadership of Dan Berce and our executive team as we move through our second decade in business," Morris said.
