4 7 CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) 1. GENERAL The unaudited consolidated operating results have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation of the periods. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of actual results achieved for full fiscal years. As contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes have been condensed and do not contain certain information included in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. 2. NET INCOME PER SHARE The net income per share amounts are based on the average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding. All per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect all stock splits declared by the Company. 3. STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARD NO. 121 Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." This new accounting standard requires impairment losses on long-lived assets to be recognized when an asset's book value exceeds its expected future cash flows (undiscounted). Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset. The adoption of this accounting standard did not impact the Company's financial position or results of operations. 5 8 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 1995 Total Revenue. Total revenue increased from $20.6 million and $38.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 to $29.2 million and $55.8 million for the same periods in 1996, representing increases of 41.7% and 45.6%, respectively. These increases are primarily due to an increase in finance charge revenue resulting from an increase in the dollar value of installment contracts receivable. The increase in contracts receivable is primarily the result of an increase in the number of dealers participating in the Company's program and an increase in the average contract size. The Company enrolled 1,423 new dealers into the Company's program during the six months ended June 30, 1996, bringing the total number of dealers as of June 30, 1996 to 4,511 compared to 2,455 as of June 30, 1995. The average yield on the Company's installment contract portfolio was approximately 13.1% and 11.5% for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The decrease in the average yield principally resulted from an increase in the percent of installment contracts which were greater than 120 days contractually past due (which were 26.1% and 32.8% of gross installment contracts as of June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively). The increase in the level of contractual past due contracts, while significant, is mitigated by the fact that when an installment contract is 120 days contractually past due, the Company (i) transfers the contract to a non-accrual status; and (ii) makes a provision to credit losses equal to the earned but unpaid revenue previously recognized on such installment contract. To a lesser extent, the decline in the average yield was also the result of an increase in the average outstanding term of the Company's installment contract portfolio. Also contributing to the increase in total revenue were premiums earned on the Company's credit life and service contract programs. Premiums earned increased from $1.5 million and $2.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 to $2.2 million and $4.6 million for the same periods in 1996, representing increases of 51.3% and 61.7%, respectively. Interest and other income increased from $1.9 million and $3.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 to $3.6 million and $6.5 million during the same periods in 1996, representing increases of 90.0% and 86.2%, respectively. This increase is primarily due to an increase in revenue earned from the Company's dual interest collateral protection insurance program. To a lesser extent, the increase is due to commissions earned on credit life and service contract products offered by dealers in the United Kingdom, and an increase in interest earned on floor plan financing which resulted from increased floor plan balances in 1996. Earned dealer enrollment fees increased from $663,000 and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 to $1.3 million and $2.2 million for the same periods in 1996, representing increases of 90.2% and 78.1%, respectively. The increase is due to the continued increase in the number of dealers participating in the Company's financing program. Salaries and Wages. Salaries and wages, as a percent of total revenue, decreased from 11.4% and 11.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 to 10.1% and 10.2% for the same periods in 1996. The Company continues to benefit from increased efficiencies which have allowed it to increase revenue with a less than proportionate increase in personnel costs. General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses, as a percent of total revenue, increased from 11.8% and 12.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 to 12.0% and 12.1% for the same periods in 1996. This increase is primarily due to investments in technology which have enabled the 6 9 Company to more effectively service its growing installment contract portfolio while having a positive impact on personnel costs. Provision for Credit Losses. The amount provided for credit losses, as a percent of total revenue, increased from 7.7% and 8.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 to 9.3% and 9.8% for the same periods in 1996. This increase is the result of an increase in the Company's reserve on advances made to dealers. The increase is partially offset by a decrease, as a percent of total revenue, in amounts provided for earned but unpaid revenue on contracts which have become 120 days contractually past due. Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses, as a percent of total revenue, increased from 2.3% during the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 to 3.2% and 3.3% during the same periods in 1996. This increase is primarily the result of increased sales commissions as a result of the increased enrollment of new dealers into the Company's program, as well as an increase in other costs directly associated with the enrollment of new dealers. Provision for Claims. The amount provided for insurance and service contract claims, as a percent of total revenue, increased from 2.1% and 2.3% during the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 to 2.7% during the same periods in 1996. The increase is principally attributable to an increase in the level of reserves necessary to cover unpaid claims, including incurred but unreported claims. The increase is proportionate with the growth in the Company's credit life and service contract programs. Interest Expense. Interest expense, as a percent of total revenue, decreased from 11.5% and 10.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 to 9.4% and 8.6% for the same periods in 1996. The decrease, as a percent of revenue, is primarily a result of a decrease in the level of borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility, as proceeds from the Company's equity offering in September of 1995 were used to pay down this debt. To a lesser extent, the decrease is also a result of lower average borrowing rates on the revolving credit facility in 1996. Operating Income. As a result of the aforementioned factors, operating income increased from $10.9 million and $20.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 to $15.5 million and $29.7 million for the same periods in 1996, representing increases of 42.1% and 46.6%, respectively. Foreign Exchange Loss. The Company incurred a foreign exchange loss of $130,000 and $47,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 and a foreign exchange gain of $3,000 and $1,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996. The gain and loss result from the effect of exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and British pound sterling on unhedged intercompany balances between the Company and its subsidiary that operates in the United Kingdom. Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes increased from $3.8 million and $7.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 to $5.4 million and $10.4 million during the same periods in 1996. The increase is due to a higher level of pretax income in 1996. For the six months ended June 30, the effective tax rate was 35.0% in 1996 and 34.7% in 1995. The increase in the effective tax rate is due to the elimination of certain deductions previously available to the Company's credit insurance subsidiary. 7 10 INSTALLMENT CONTRACTS RECEIVABLE The following table summarizes the composition of installment contracts receivable at the dates indicated:

8 11 CREDIT POLICY AND EXPERIENCE The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses which, in the opinion of management, adequately reserves against expected future losses. The risk of loss to the Company related to the installment contracts receivable balance relates primarily to the earned but unpaid servicing fee or finance charge recognized on contractually delinquent accounts. To the extent that the Company does not collect the gross amount of the contract, the remaining gross installment receivable contract balance is charged off against the related unearned finance charges and dealer holdback first, pursuant to the dealer servicing agreement, and then against the allowance for credit losses, as necessary. The Company also maintains a reserve against advances to dealers that are not expected to be recovered through collections on the related installment contract receivable portfolio. Advance balances are reviewed by management on a monthly basis, and those which are deemed to be unrecoverable are charged against the reserve. Credit loss experience, changes in the character and size of the receivables portfolio and the advance balance, and management's judgment are primary factors used in assessing the overall adequacy of the allowance and advance reserve and the resulting provisions for credit losses. Ultimate losses may vary from current estimates and the amount of the provision, which is a current expense, may be either greater or less than actual charge offs. Servicing fees, which are booked as finance charges, are recognized under the interest method of accounting until the underlying obligation is 120 days contractually past due. At such time, the Company suspends the accrual of revenue and makes a provision for credit losses equal to the earned but unpaid revenue. In all cases, installment contracts on which no material payment has been received for one year are charged off against the related dealer holdback and the allowance for credit losses. As future payments on any remaining aggregate contracts from a given dealer are available to recover all advances from such dealer, the risk of loss to the Company is mitigated. 9 12 The following table sets forth information relating to charge offs, the allowance for credit losses, the reserve on advances, and dealer holdbacks.

AS OF AS OF (Dollars in thousands) JUNE 30, 1995 JUNE 30, 1996 ------------- -------------- (Unaudited) Allowance for credit losses as a percent of gross installment contracts receivable 0.9% 1.0% Reserve on advances as a percent of advances 1.2% 1.6% Dealer holdbacks as a percent of gross installment contracts receivable 79.3% 79.7%
The Company's relatively low level of amounts charged against the allowance for credit losses is due to, among other factors: (i) the requirement that each installment contract accepted must meet established, formula-based criteria prior to the Company making an advance on such contract; (ii) experienced personnel, using computer-assisted accounts receivable management and collection systems; (iii) the security interest the Company receives in the vehicle at the time it accepts an installment contract; and (iv) the high level of dealer holdbacks, relative to the amount of installment contracts. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's principal need for capital is to fund cash advances made to dealers in connection with the acceptance of installment contracts and for the payment of dealer holdbacks to dealers who have repaid their advance balances. These cash outflows to dealers increased from $161.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 1995 to $233.9 million during the same period in 1996. These amounts were funded from cash collections on installment contracts, income from operations, and advances under the Company's credit agreement. During the first six months of 1996, the Company borrowed approximately $74.0 million under its line of credit agreements to assist in funding the Company's operations. The increased need for capital is primarily a result of the continued growth in new installment contracts accepted. To a lesser extent, the increased need for capital is also due to an increase in the amount advanced per contract, continued increases in dealers' utilization of service contract products offered by the Company, and amounts needed to fund the continued growth of the Company's operations in the United Kingdom. The Company has a $152 million credit agreement with a commercial bank syndicate. The agreement consists of a $92 million line of credit facility with a commitment period through January 12, 1997 and a $60 million revolving credit facility with a commitment period through January 13, 1999. Both facilities are subject to annual extension for additional one year periods at the request of the Company with the consent of each of the banks in the facility. The borrowings are unsecured with interest payable at the Eurocurrency rate plus a minimum of 80 basis points and a maximum of 140 basis points (currently 105 basis points) dependent on the Company's debt rating, or at the prime rate. The Eurocurrency borrowings may be fixed for periods up to one year. The credit agreement has certain restrictive covenants, including limits on the ratio of the Company's debt-to-equity, limits on the Company's investment in its subsidiary in the United Kingdom, and requirements that the Company maintain a specified minimum level of net worth. As of June 30, 1996, there was approximately $103.0 million outstanding under these facilities. The Company also has a 2.0 million British pound sterling line of credit agreement with a commercial bank in the United Kingdom, which is used to fund the day to day cash flow requirements of 10 13 the Company's subsidiary which operates in the United Kingdom. The borrowings are secured by a letter of credit issued by the Company's principal commercial bank with interest payable at the United Kingdom bank's base rate (currently 5.75%) plus 65 basis points or at the LIBOR rate plus 56.25 basis points. The rates may be fixed for periods up to six months. As of June 30, 1996, there was approximately 1.7 million British pounds ($2.6 million U.S. dollars) outstanding under this facility. The Company maintains a significant dealer holdback on installment contracts accepted which assists the Company in funding its long-term cash flow requirements. In future periods, the Company's short and long-term cash flow requirements will continue to be funded primarily through earnings from operations, cash flow from the collection of installment contracts, and the Company's credit facilities.
