Restatement of Prior Periods
As previously reported, on April 1, 2005, the Company's former independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte"), informed the Company that Deloitte's National Office was reviewing the Company's accounting for loans. On April 8, 2005, Deloitte informed the Company that it believed the Company should not account for loans as an originator of loans to consumers but should instead account for its loans as a lender to its dealer-partners. The Company had accounted for its loans as a consumer loan originator since 1992, and believed such accounting was in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). On April 26, 2005, the Company submitted a letter to the staff of the Office of the Chief Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("the SEC") requesting guidance.
On June 24, 2005, the SEC informed the Company that its method for recording loans should be changed from that of an originator of consumer loans to that of a servicer of loans generated by dealer-partners and a lender to those dealer-partners. As a result of this determination, the Company was required to restate its previously reported financial results. The Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, which the Company filed today, reflects this restatement of prior periods. The Company also filed today its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2005, June 30, 2005, and September 30, 2005. The Company intends to apply to list its shares on the NASDAQ National Market as soon as practicable.
Additional details regarding the financial restatement are included in the Company's SEC filings.
Overview of New Accounting
-- The Company's business -- providing auto loans to consumers -- has
not changed; only the accounting has changed. The Company is an
indirect lender, meaning the loan is originated by the dealer-
partner and immediately assigned to the Company. The compensation
paid to the automobile dealer in exchange for the auto loan is
paid in two parts. The first part (the "advance") is paid at the
time of origination, and the second part (the "dealer holdback" is
paid over time based on the performance of the loan.
-- For accounting purposes, the Company is now considered a lender to
the dealer-partner for its United States and Canadian business.
Previously, the Company was considered a lender to the consumer.
-- Under our new accounting, the cash amount advanced to the dealer-
partner is recorded as an asset included in "Loans Receivable" on
the Company's balance sheet. The aggregate amount of all advances
to an individual dealer-partner, plus finance charge revenue
recognized, less repayments made by the consumer, comprises the
dealer loan balance.
-- The Company's primary source of revenue is called finance charges.
Finance charge revenue equals the cash collections from the consumer
loan less the amount paid to the dealer-partner (initial advance
plus dealer holdback). In other words, finance charge revenue
equals the cash inflows from the consumer loan less the cash
outflows required to acquire the consumer loan.
-- Finance charge revenue is recorded over the life of the dealer loan
on a level yield basis.
-- An initial expected yield is assigned to each dealer advance. The
yield is the rate that, when applied to expected future cash flows
from the underlying consumer loan, results in a present value equal
to the initial cash amount of the advance. (The expected future
cash flows are the expected collections from the consumer loan, less
the amount of expected future dealer holdback payments.)
-- A yield is maintained for each dealer loan balance. The yield is
adjusted each period based on the most recent expectation of future
cash flows from the underlying consumer loans. The yield for any
dealer loan balance cannot be reduced below the initial weighted
average yield. If a favorable change in expected future cash flows
occurs (as compared to the expectation at inception), the yield is
adjusted upwards. If an unfavorable change occurs, an allowance for
credit losses is established which reduces the net asset value
(dealer loan balance less the allowance) to the discounted value of
future cash flows at the weighted average initial yield.
-- Because the Company is required to treat favorable changes in
expected cash flows differently from unfavorable changes, the
Company believes its new accounting method may produce reported
results that differ from its economic performance. To provide
shareholders with a more complete picture of its performance, the
Company will report "Floating Yield" earnings in this and in
future press releases. Floating Yield earnings will be identical
to the Company's GAAP earnings except that both favorable and
unfavorable changes in expected future cash flows will be treated
as yield adjustments. Although the differences between Floating
Yield earnings and GAAP earnings are small for the periods
presented in this release, the Company is not confident this will
continue to be the case going forward.
-- The Company's future financial results are likely to be more
volatile than the financial results reported in this release
because the initial yields established for prior periods as part
of this restatement benefit from the Company's knowledge of
actual results. Prospectively, without the benefit of hindsight,
the actual yields will likely vary more from the initial yields
than in the restated periods.
Comparison of GAAP Return on Capital to Floating Yield Return on Capital
The following table presents selected financial data that compares the Company's GAAP basis financial results to a non-GAAP measure. The non-GAAP measure ("Floating Yield") is identical to our GAAP basis results except that, under the Floating Rate method, changes in expected cash flows are treated as yield adjustments. Under GAAP, favorable changes in expected cash flows are treated as yield adjustments, while unfavorable changes are recorded as a current period expense. The GAAP treatment always results in a lower carrying value of the loan receivable asset, but may result in either higher or lower earnings for any given period depending on the timing and amount of expected cash flow changes.

Consumer Loan Performance in the United States
The United States is the Company's only business segment that continues to originate Dealer Loans. The following table presents forecasted Consumer Loan collection rates, advance rates, the spread (the forecasted collection rate less the advance rate), and the percentage of the forecasted collections that have been realized as of September 30, 2005 for the United States business segment. The data presented in the table has been changed from similar data previously disclosed in the Company's filings in order to conform to the Company's new accounting methodology. The changes are as follows: (1) Collection and advance rates included in the table are calculated as a percentage of funded loans, defined as Consumer Loans on which an advance has been paid to the dealer-partner. Previously, collection and advance rates were calculated as a percentage of Consumer Loans assigned to the Company. As a result, collection rates are higher than previously reported. This reflects the change in presentation rather than a change in loan performance. (2) Advance rates included in the table below represent the cash amount paid to the dealer-partner or paid to third parties for ancillary products. Previously, advance rates presented in the table included non-cash commissions and fees that were retained by the Company. As a result of this change, the advance rates presented in the table are lower than previously reported. (3) Forecasted collection rates included in the table are based on a new forecasting methodology. This change had only a small impact on collection rates reported in the table.

-- 2003 results were impacted by impairment expenses of $10.5 million
that were recognized following the decision to liquidate the
United Kingdom operation.
-- The Company's effective tax rate decreased to 34.8% in 2004
compared to 52.1% in 2003 due to a change in the Company's
international tax structure during 2004 and the impact of the
repatriation of foreign earnings in 2003.
-- The 2004 period includes a foreign exchange gain of $1.7 million
in 2004 compared to a foreign exchange loss of $2.8 million in
2003 primarily due to changes in the fair value of forward
contracts entered into during the third quarter of 2003.
Although the Company was not in compliance with its debt covenants due to its inability to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2005, June 30, 2005, and September 30, 2005, the Company has received waivers of this requirement on its debt facilities and these waivers become permanent upon the filing of such reports.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Information
Certain statements in this release that are not historical facts, such as those using terms like "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "assumes," "forecasts," "estimates" and those regarding the Company's future results, plans and objectives, are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements represent the Company's outlook only as of the date of this release. While the Company believes that its forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially since the statements are based on current expectations, which are subject to risks and uncertainties. Factors that might cause such a difference include the following:
-- the Company's potential inability to accurately forecast and
estimate the amount and timing of future collections,
-- increased competition from traditional financing sources and from
non-traditional lenders,
-- the unavailability of funding at competitive rates of interest,
-- the Company's potential inability to continue to obtain third
party financing on favorable terms,
-- the Company's potential inability to generate sufficient cash flow
to service its debt and fund its future operations,
-- adverse changes in applicable laws and regulations,
-- adverse changes in economic conditions,
-- adverse changes in the automobile or finance industries or in the
non-prime consumer finance market,
-- the Company's potential inability to maintain or increase the
volume of automobile loans,
-- an increase in the amount or severity of litigation against the
Company,
-- the loss of key management personnel or the inability to hire
qualified personnel,
-- the effect of natural disasters, terrorist attacks and other
potential disasters or attacks; and
-- various other factors discussed in the Company's reports filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Other factors not currently anticipated by management may also materially and adversely affect the Company's results of operations. The Company does not undertake, and expressly disclaims any obligation, to update or alter its statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
Description of Credit Acceptance Corporation
Since 1972, Credit Acceptance has provided auto loans to consumers, regardless of their credit history. Our product is offered through a nationwide network of automobile dealers who benefit from sales of vehicles to consumers who otherwise could not obtain financing; from repeat and referral sales generated by these same customers; and from sales to customers responding to advertisements for our product, but who actually end up qualifying for traditional financing.
Without our product, consumers may be unable to purchase a vehicle or they may purchase an unreliable one, or they may not have the opportunity to improve their credit standing. As we report to the three national credit reporting agencies, a significant number of our customers improve their lives by improving their credit score and move on to more traditional sources of financing. Credit Acceptance is publicly traded on the Pink Sheets under the symbol CACC. For more information, visit www.creditacceptance.com.

Economic Profit
The Company defines economic profit as net operating profit after-tax less an imputed cost of equity. Economic profit measures how efficiently the Company utilizes capital. To consider the cost of both debt and equity, the Company's calculation of economic profit deducts from net income a cost of equity equal to 10% of average equity, which approximates the S&P 500's rate of return since 1965. Management uses economic profit to assess the Company's performance as well as to make capital allocation decisions. Management believes this information is important to shareholders because it allows shareholders to compare the returns earned by the Company with the return they could expect if the Company returned capital to shareholders and they invested in other securities.
