I. | THE SAMPLE |
At the request of the Specified Parties, we performed the following procedures with respect to the Sample. For each Initial Receivable in the Sample, we performed the specific procedures listed using the respective Receivable File. The Specified Parties indicated that the absence of any of the noted documents or the inability to agree the indicated information from the Preliminary Detailed Receivables List to the Receivable File for each of the attributes identified constituted an exception.
1. | We compared the Obligor’s Name per the Preliminary Detailed Receivables List to the Obligor’s Name appearing on the Installment Sale Contract. |

2. | We entered the Receivable Number from the Preliminary Detailed Receivables List into one of the Company’s computer terminals and compared the Receivable Number to the corresponding Receivable File. |
3. | We compared the Contract Date and Original Term per the Preliminary Detailed Receivables List to the corresponding information in the Installment Sale Contract or the Addendum to the Installment Sale Contract. |
4. | We compared the Original Amount Financed per the Preliminary Detailed Receivables List to the corresponding information appearing on the Installment Sale Contract or the Addendum to the Installment Sale Contract. |
5. | We compared the Scheduled Monthly Payment Amount per the Preliminary Detailed Receivables List to the corresponding information on the Installment Sale Contract, the Addendum to the Installment Sale Contract, or the Retail Installment Sale Contract Simple Interest Finance Change letter (as applicable). For purposes of this procedure, the Specified Parties instructed us to deem the Scheduled Monthly Payment Amount to be in agreement if the difference was not greater than $0.01. |
6. | We compared the APR per the Preliminary Detailed Receivables List to the corresponding information on the Installment Sale Contract, the Addendum to the Installment Sale Contract, or the Retail Installment Sale Contract Simple Interest Finance Change letter (as applicable). For purposes of this procedure, the Specified Parties instructed us to deem the APR to be in agreement if the difference was not greater than 0.01%. |
7. | We compared the Type of Vehicle Financed (“New” or “Used”) per the Preliminary Detailed Receivables List to the corresponding information on the Installment Sale Contract or the Addendum to the Installment Sale Contract. As instructed by the Company, an entry of “C” in the Vehicle Type field (VLNEWU) in the Preliminary Detailed Receivables List represented “Used.” |
8. | We compared the Vehicle Make per the Preliminary Detailed Receivables List to the corresponding information on the Installment Sale Contract or the Addendum to the Installment Sale Contract. |
9. | We compared the Vehicle Model per the Preliminary Detailed Receivables List to the corresponding information on the Installment Sale Contract or Addendum to the Installment Sale Contract. |
10. | We observed the presence of an original or photocopy of a Certificate of Title, Application for Title or Dealer Guarantee of Title Delivery, Application for Registration or Dealer’s Report of Sale (each, a “Title Document”) in the Receivable File and noted that the Company’s name (“CPS, Inc.” or “Consumer Portfolio Services”) appeared in the security interest section of the Title Document. We make no representation regarding the validity of the evidence of title. |
11. | We observed the presence of an original or a photocopy of an Agreement to Provide Insurance Form or an Insurance Verification Form in the Receivable File. In the event an Agreement to Provide Insurance Form or an Insurance Verification Form was not found, the Specified Parties instructed us to view a screenshot from the Company’s Insurance Verification system. We noted an insurance company name or a policy number on the Agreement to Provide Insurance Form, Insurance Verification Form, or screenshot from the Company’s Insurance Verification system. We make no representation regarding the validity or enforceability of the Agreement to Provide Insurance or Insurance Verification Form or the authenticity of the screenshots from the Company’s Insurance Verification system. |

12. | We observed the presence of an original or photocopy of a signed Credit Application in the Receivable File. We make no representation regarding the completeness of the Credit Application or the authenticity of the signature(s) on the Credit Application. |
The information regarding the Sample was found to be in agreement with the respective information in the Receivable File, except as noted in Exhibit B.
We were not engaged to, and did not, conduct an audit, examination or review, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion or conclusion on the Preliminary Detailed Receivables List. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion or conclusion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to the Specified Parties.
The procedures performed were applied based on the information indicated in the Preliminary Detailed Receivables List, or provided by the Company, without verification or evaluation of such information by us; therefore, we express no opinion or any other form of assurance regarding (i) the physical existence of the Initial Receivables in the Sample or as to the conformity of their respective characteristics with those assumed for purposes of the comparisons and recomputations described herein, (ii) the reliability or accuracy of the Preliminary Detailed Receivable List, the Receivable Files, or data and documents furnished to us by the Company which were used in our procedures, or (iii) matters of legal interpretation.
The procedures performed were not intended to address, nor did they address: (i) the conformity of the origination of the Initial Receivables in the Sample to stated underwriting or credit extension guidelines, standards, criteria or other requirements, (ii) the value of collateral securing any such Initial Receivables in the Sample being securitized, (iii) the compliance of the originator of the Initial Receivables in the Sample with federal, state, and local laws and regulations, or (iv) any other factor or characteristic of the Initial Receivables in the Sample that would be material to the likelihood that the issuer of the asset-backed security will pay interest and principal in accordance with applicable terms and conditions. The procedures performed were not intended to satisfy any criteria for due diligence published by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”).
The terms of our engagement are such that we have no obligation to update this report because of events and transactions that may subsequently occur.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. It is not intended to be and should not be used by any other person or entity, including investors and NRSROs, who are not identified in the report as Specified Parties but who may have access to this report as required by law or regulation.
