| Forward Looking Statements Certain statements in this presentation that are not historical facts, such as those using terms like "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "assumptions," "forecasts," "estimates" and those regarding the Company's future 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 presentation. 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.

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. |
| Company Overview |
| Unique Company Founded in 1972 No other successful program like CA's in 32 years Large underserved market Unique business model |
| Business Model Differences Model is different from a standard auto lender..... CA does not purchase loans at a discount CA does: Advance a portion of expected future cash flows to the Dealer-Partner ("DP") at loan inception Service loans for a 20% fee Credit 80% of the cash flows to DPs Portion delivered at inception in the form of the Advance Remainder as 80% of cash flows received after repayment of initial Advance |
| Basic Loan Wholesale Cost $5,420 Mark-Up 3,680 Selling Price 9,100 Down Payment (1,820) Amount Financed 7,280 Interest (36 months @ 22%) 2,720 Total Loan $10,000 Cash Flow to Dealer Advance $4,700 Down Payment 1,820 Total 6,520 Wholesale Cost 5,420 Immediate Profit 1,100 Holdback 3,300 Dealer Profit $4,400 Allocation Advance $4,700 Holdback 3,300 Dealer (80%) 8,000 CAC's Servicing Fee (20%) 2,000 Total $10,000 Sample Loan Example Assumes 100% Collection Rate NOTE: Loan specifics and assumptions are simplified for the purpose of illustrating the mechanics of a sample loan. Detail of CA's actual loan size and collection experience can be found in its most recent published financials on form 10K or 10Q. |
| Sample Loan DP enters into loan with customer Assigns loan to CA Customer makes payments to CA DP earns modest profit at loan origination thru a combination of an advance from CA and a down payment from customer Advance is conservative compared to expected future cash flows on loan and wholesale value of vehicle A significant down payment is received from customer Loan terms are short relative to "C" lenders DP has significant profit potential (dealer holdback) if loan performs |
| (Assumes 10 Loans Exactly Like The Previous Sample) ASSETS Cash ($47,000) Loans receivable $100,000 Unearned finance charges (20,000) Loans receivable, net $ 80,000 Total Assets $33,000 LIABILITIES Dealer holdbacks $80,000 Advances (47,000) Dealer holdbacks, net $33,000 Sample Balance Sheet |
| Loan Pooling DPs can group loans in discrete "pools" of not less than 100 loans DPs share of the collections (80%) applied to reduce the aggregate advance owing on pool Once the advance on a pool has been repaid, CA remits the DPs share of collections to the DP DP's aggregate advance balance is secured by the future collections on all loans originated by the DP that are assigned to CA |
