See accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements 5 CONSUMER PORTFOLIO SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1: Basis of Presentation The Company is engaged in the business of purchasing, selling and servicing retail installment sales contracts ("Contracts") originated by automobile dealers ("Dealers") that sell both new and used automobiles, light trucks and passenger vans. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and include all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature. Results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 10-KSB report for the nine month transition period ended December 31, 1995. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Alton Receivables Corp. ("Alton"), CPS Receivables Corp. ("CPSRC") and CPS Funding Corp. ("CPSFC"). The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of SAMCO Acceptance Corp. ("SAMCO") and LINC Acceptance Company, LLC ("LINC") both of which are 80% owned subsidiaries of the Company. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. On June 5, 1996, the Company purchased 38% of the outstanding common stock of NAB Asset Corporation ("NAB") for approximately $4 million. The investment in NAB is included in other assets and is accounted for by the Company under the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Included in other assets is a loan to a subsidiary of NAB. At September 30, 1996, the balance of the loan was approximately $600,000. Note 2: Investments in Credit Enhancements The Company is a party to various agreements with institutional investors and investment banks for the sale of the Company's Contracts. The agreements call for the Company to sell Contracts to one of its special purpose corporation subsidiaries, either Alton or CPSRC (the "SPCs"), which subsequently transfer the Contracts to various grantor trusts (the "Trusts") which then issue interest bearing certificates which are purchased by institutional investors. The terms of the agreements provide that simultaneous with each purchase of certificates by the investor, the Company is required to provide a credit enhancement in the form of a cash capital contribution to the SPC equal to a specified percentage of the amount of the certificates purchased by the investor. The SPC then deposits the initial cash deposit, and subsequent excess servicing cash flows as required by the terms of the various agreements, to an account held by a trustee (the "Spread Account") and pledges the cash to the Trust, which in turn invests the cash in high quality liquid investment securities as defined by the various agreements. In the securitizations since June 1995, the Company altered the credit enhancement mechanism to create a subordinated class of asset-backed securities ("B Piece") in order to reduce the size of the required initial deposit to the Spread Account. The Company has sold five of six B Pieces created in conjunction with the sale of the related senior certificates. Unsold B Pieces are accounted for as available for sale and, when originated, are treated as non-cash investing activities. In the event that the cash flows generated by the Contracts transferred to the Trust are insufficient to pay obligations of the Trust, including principal or interest due to certificate holders or expenses of the Trust, the trustee will draw an amount necessary from the Spread Accounts to pay the 6 CONSUMER PORTFOLIO SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS obligations of the Trust. The agreements provide that the Spread Accounts shall be maintained at a specified percent of the principal balance of the certificates, which are increased in cases where delinquencies, repossessions or losses exceed certain specified levels. In the event delinquencies, repossessions or losses on the Contracts serviced exceed specified higher levels defined in certain of the Company's securitization agreements, the terms of those securitizations may allow for the transfer of servicing to another servicer. As principal payments are made to the certificate holders, and if the Spread Accounts are in excess of the specified percent of the principal balance of the certificates, the trustee shall release to the SPC the portion of the pledged cash that is in excess of the specified percent of the principal balance of the certificates. Except for releases in this manner, the cash in the Spread Accounts is restricted from use by the SPC or the Company. Note 3: Contracts Held for Sale The Contracts which the Company purchases from dealers provide for finance charges of approximately 20% per annum, in most cases. Each Contract provides for full amortization, equal monthly payments and can be fully prepaid by the borrower at any time without penalty. The Company generally purchases the Contracts from dealers at a discount, ranging from zero to ten percent, from the amount financed under the Contract. In addition, the Company generally charges the Dealer a fee of $200 per Contract purchased. Contracts are generally sold by the Company within three months of their purchase, although they may be held longer. Contracts held for sale are stated at the lower of aggregate cost or market value, net of related reserves. At September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the balance of Contracts held for sale was made up of the following components:

8 CONSUMER PORTFOLIO SERVICES, INC. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Overview Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries engage primarily in the business of purchasing, selling and servicing retail automobile installment sale contracts ("Contracts") originated by Dealers located throughout the U.S. The Company specializes in Contracts with borrowers who generally would not be expected to qualify for traditional financing such as that provided by commercial banks or automobile manufacturers' captive finance companies. The Company generates revenue, earnings and cash flow primarily through the purchase and subsequent securitization of Contracts. In each securitization, the Company sells a distinct portfolio of Contracts to a trust, which, in turn, sells interest bearing certificates backed by the Contracts to institutional investors. The terms of the securitization transactions generally provide for the Company to earn a base servicing fee computed as a percentage of the outstanding balance of the Contracts as compensation for its duties as servicer. In addition, the Company is entitled to certain excess servicing fees which represent collections on the Contracts in excess of the amounts necessary to pay certificate purchasers' principal and interest and the expenses of the trust, including, primarily, base servicing fees. The Company also recognizes gains on its sales of Contracts. Gains are determined based upon the difference between the sale proceeds for the portion of Contracts sold and the Company's recorded investment in Contracts sold. The Company allocates the recorded investment in the Contracts between the portion of the Contracts sold and the portion retained based on the relative fair value of those portions on the date of sale. In addition, the Company recognizes gains attributable to its estimates of excess servicing receivables ("ESR") for each pool of Contracts it securitizes. ESRs are determined by computing the difference between the weighted average yield of the Contracts sold and the yield to the purchaser, adjusted for the base servicing fee based on the agreements between the Company and the purchaser. The resulting differential is recorded as a gain in the period of the sale equal to the present value of the estimated cash flows, net of any portion of the excess that may be due to the purchaser and adjusted for anticipated prepayments, repossessions, liquidations and other losses. To the extent that the actual future performance of the Contracts results in less excess cash flows than the Company estimated, the Company's ESRs will be adjusted at least quarterly, with corresponding charges recorded against income in the period in which the adjustment is made. To the extent that the actual cash flows exceed the Company's estimates,. the Company will record additional servicing fees in the periods in which the excess cash was collected. Results of Operations The three month period ended September 30, 1996 compared to the three month - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- period ended September 30, 1995 - ------------------------------- Revenues. During the three months ended September 30, 1996, revenues increased $5.9 million, or 75.2%, compared to the three month period ended September 30, 1995. Servicing fees increased by $2.4 million, or 86.1%, and represented 38.5% of total revenues. Servicing fees consist primarily of base and excess monthly servicing fees earned on Contracts sold and serviced by the Company. The increase in servicing fees is due to the Company's continued expansion of its Contract purchase, sale and servicing activities. As of September 30, 1996, the Company was earning servicing fees on 40,216 Contracts approximating $426.4 million compared to 22,062 Contracts approximating $233.2 million as of September 30, 1995. In addition to the $426.4 million in sold Contracts on which servicing fees were earned, the Company was holding for sale and servicing an additional $18.9 million in Contracts for an aggregate total servicing portfolio of $445.3 million. Net gain on sale of Contracts includes (i) the excess of the amount realized on the sale of Contracts over the Company's net cost, (ii) the net present value of estimated excess servicing fees on sold Contracts, and (iii) the recognition of deferred acquisition fees paid by Dealers net of related acquisition costs. Net gain on sale of Contracts increased by $2.5 million, or 9 CONSUMER PORTFOLIO SERVICES, INC. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 74.6 %, and represented 42.0% of total revenues for the three month period ended September 30, 1996. The increase in gain on sale is largely due to the volume of Contracts which were sold in the period. During the three month period ended September 30, 1996, the Company sold $92.1 million in Contracts, compared to $45.0 million in the three month period ended September 30, 1995. Interest income on Contracts held for sale increased by $1.0 million, or 58.0%, representing 19.5% of total revenues for the three month period ended September 30, 1996. The increase is due to the increase in the volume of contracts purchased and held for sale. During the three month period ended September 30, 1996, the Company purchased $94.0 million in Contracts from Dealers, compared to $48.3 million in the three month period ended September 30, 1995. Expenses. During the three month period ended September 30, 1996, operating expenses increased $3.6 million, or 98.8%, compared to the three month period ended September 30, 1995. Employee costs increased by $1.2 million, or 103.7%, and represented 32.4% of total operating expenses. The increase is due to the addition of staff necessary to accommodate the Company's growth and certain increases in salaries of existing staff. General and administrative expenses increased by $1.0 million, or 120.1% and represented 24.3% of total operating expenses. Increases in general and administrative expenses included increases in telecommunications, stationery, credit reports and other related items as a result of increases in the volume of purchasing and servicing of Contracts. Marketing expenses increased by $154,099, or 44.5%, and represented 6.8% of total expenses. The Company uses a combination of independent contractor and employee marketing representatives, all of whom are compensated directly in proportion to the number of Contracts the Company purchases from Dealers serviced by the marketing representative. The fees paid to the marketing representatives for Contracts purchased are combined with other direct costs related to contract originations and are offset against acquisition fees paid by Dealers. Any direct costs in excess of the acquisition fees paid by Dealers are deferred and amortized, in the case of Contracts held for sale, or are offset against any gain on sale in the case of Contracts sold. Additional increases in marketing expense relate to other marketing expenses such as travel, promotion and convention expenses. Interest expense increased $789,177, or 97.7%, and represented 21.9% of total operating expenses. During the three month period ended September 30, 1996, interest expense consisted of interest accrued and/or paid on a $3.0 million convertible note issued November 16, 1993, $20.0 million in subordinated debt securities issued December 20, 1995, and a warehouse line of credit. Interest expense is also impacted by the volume of Contracts held for sale, as well as by the Company's cost of borrowed funds. During the three month period ended September 30, 1996, the provision for losses on Contracts held for sale increased by $509,396, or 150.3%, and represented 11.6% of total operating expenses. The increase in the provision reflects a larger volume of Contracts held prior to sale when compared to the same period in the prior year. The nine month period ended September 30, 1996 compared to the nine month period - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ended September 30, 1995 - ------------------------ Revenues. During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, revenues increased $13.7 million, or 61.2%, compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 1995. Servicing fees increased by $5.8 million, or 82.1%, and represented 35.8% of total revenues. The increase in servicing fees is due to the Company's continued expansion of its Contract purchase, sale and servicing activities. Net gain on sale of Contracts increased by $5.9 million, or 59.6%, and represented 43.9% of total revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996. The increase in gain on sale is largely due to the volume of Contracts which 10 CONSUMER PORTFOLIO SERVICES, INC. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS were sold in the period. During the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, the Company sold $248.1 million in Contracts, compared to $144.3 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 1995. Interest income on Contracts held for sale increased by $2.0 million, or 36.4%, representing 20.3% of total revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996. The increase is due to the increase in the volume of contracts purchased and held for sale. During the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, the Company purchased $254.3 million in Contracts from Dealers, compared to $132.1 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 1995. Expenses. During the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, operating expenses increased $8.3 million, or 76.6%, compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 1995. Employee costs increased by $3.0 million, or 98.3%, and represented 32.1% of total operating expenses. The increase is due to the addition of staff necessary to accommodate the Company's growth and certain increases in salaries of existing staff. General and administrative expenses increased by $2.3 million, or 89.8% and represented 25.9% of total operating expenses. Increases in general and administrative expenses included increases in telecommunications, stationery, credit reports and other related items as a result of increases in the volume of purchasing and servicing of Contracts. Marketing expenses increased by $408,954, or 57.8%, and represented 5.9% of total expenses. The increase is primarily due to the increase in the volume of contracts purchased as marketing representatives are compensated directly in proportion to the number of Contracts the Company purchases from Dealers serviced by the marketing representative. Additional increases in marketing expense relate to other marketing expenses such as travel, promotion and convention expenses. Interest expense increased $1.5 million, or 52.0%, and represented 22.6% of total operating expenses. The increase is primarily due to the interest paid on the $20.0 million in subordinated debt securities issued December 20, 1995. Interest expense is also impacted by the volume of Contracts held for sale as well as by the Company's cost of borrowed funds. During the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, the provision for losses on Contracts held for sale increased by $890,699, or 100.2%, and represented 9.3% of total operating expenses. The increase in the provision reflects a larger volume of Contracts held prior to sale when compared to the same period in the prior year. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's primary sources of cash include base and excess servicing fees it earns on portfolios of Contracts it has previously sold, proceeds from sales of Contracts, release of investments in credit enhancement balances pledged in conjunction with the securitization of its Contracts, and borrower payments on Contracts held for sale. The Company's primary uses of cash include its normal operating expenses and the establishment and build up of Spread Accounts, used for credit enhancements, to their maintenance levels. Net cash used in operating activities was $9.3 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, compared to net cash used of $15.5 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 1995. Cash used for purchasing Contracts was $254.3 million, an increase of $139.5 million, or 121.5%, over cash used for purchasing Contracts in the prior year's period. Cash provided from the liquidation of Contracts was $254.3 million, an increase of $136.4 million, or 115.7%, over cash provided from the liquidation of Contracts in the prior year's period. The Company's cash requirements have been and will continue to be significant. Each agreement under which the Company has securitized and sold its Contracts required the Company to make a significant initial cash deposit, for 11 CONSUMER PORTFOLIO SERVICES, INC. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS purposes of credit enhancement, to a Spread Account which is pledged to support the related Asset Backed Securities ("ABS"), and is invested in high quality liquid securities. Excess cash flows from the securitized Contracts are deposited into the Spread Accounts until such time as the Spread Account balance reaches a specific percent of the outstanding balance of the related ABS. In its most recent securitizations, the Company established a subordinated B Piece in order to reduce the size of the required initial deposit to the Spread Accounts. The Company has sold five of six B Pieces created in conjunction with the sale of the related senior certificates. During the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, cash used for initial deposits to Spread Accounts was $9.0 million, an increase of $1.8 million, or 24.2%, from the amount of cash used for initial deposits to Spread Accounts in the prior year's period. Cash from excess servicing deposited to Spread Accounts for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, was $13.3 million, an increase of $6.6 million, or 97.5%, over cash from excess servicing deposited to Spread Accounts in the prior year's period. Cash released from Spread Accounts for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, was $6.2 million, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 22.8%, over cash released from Spread Accounts in the prior year's period. Changes in deposits to and releases from Spread Accounts are impacted by the relative size and seasoning of the various pools of sold Contracts that make up the Company's servicing portfolio. In the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, certain securitized pools exceeded predetermined delinquency levels which resulted in increased Spread Account levels, and consequently, less releases in cash from Spread Accounts. The Company believes that increases in delinquency are due to changes in its strategy regarding the timing of repossessions of vehicles under its Contracts. The Company is currently in discussions with parties to the various securitization agreements and believes those discussions will result in modifications to the agreements that will provide for delinquency levels which are more reflective of the Company's experience. As a result, the Company would anticipate greater releases of cash from Spread Accounts in the future. During the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, the Company purchased 38% of the outstanding common stock of NAB Asset Corporation for approximately $4 million. Cash flows are impacted by the use of the credit line (the "Line"), which is in turn is impacted by the amount of Contracts the Company holds for sale. At September 30, 1996, the Line had an outstanding balance of $9.8 million, compared to $15.5 million at September 30, 1995. In June 1995, the Company entered into two new agreements which restructured the Line and increased the maximum available amount to $100.0 million. The primary agreement provides for loans by Redwood Receivables Corporation ("Redwood") to the Company, to be funded by commercial paper issued by Redwood and secured by Contracts pledged periodically by the Company. The Redwood facility provides for a maximum of $100.0 million of advances to the Company, with interest at a variable rate tied to prevailing commercial paper rates. When the Company wishes to securitize these Contracts, a substantial part of the proceeds received from investors is paid to Redwood, which simultaneously releases the pledged Contracts for transfer to a pass-through securitization trust. The second agreement is a standby line of credit with General Electric Capital Corporation ("GECC"), also with a $100.0 million maximum, which the Company may use only if and to the extent that Redwood does not provide funding as described above. The GECC line of credit is secured by Contracts and substantially all other assets of the Company. Both agreements extend through November 30, 1998. The two agreements are viewed as a single short-term warehouse line of credit, with advances varying according to the amount of pledged Contracts. The Company anticipates the funds available under the Line, proceeds from the sale of Contracts and cash from operations will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's estimated cash requirements for the next 12 months, assuming that the Company continues to have a means by which to sell its warehoused Contracts. If for any reason the Company is unable to sell its Contracts, or if the Company's available cash otherwise proves to be insufficient to fund operations (because of future changes in the industry, general economic conditions, unanticipated increases in expenses, or other factors), the Company may be required to seek additional funding. 12 CONSUMER PORTFOLIO SERVICES, INC. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS On November 1, 1996, the Company began to rent an additional 7,000 square feet of contiguous office space in accordance with the Company's lease agreement. In addition, the Company recently acquired an additional, and significantly upgraded, IBM AS/400 computer. This hardware represents the primary platform on which the Company processes its Contracts. The Company anticipates that it will incur certain limited capital expenditures during the next twelve months as its business continues to grow. The descriptions of the Company's business and activities set forth in this Form 10-QSB and in other past and future reports and announcements by the Company may contain forward-looking statements and assumptions regarding the future activities and results of operations of the Company. Actual results may be adversely affected by various factors including the following: increases in unemployment or other changes in domestic economic conditions which adversely affect the sales of new and used automobiles and may result in increased delinquencies, foreclosures and losses on Contracts; adverse economic conditions in geographic areas in which the Company's business is concentrated; changes in interest rates, adverse changes in the market for securitized receivables pools, or a substantial lengthening of the Company's warehousing period, each of which could restrict the Company's ability to obtain cash for new Contract originations and purchases; increases in the amounts required to be set aside in Spread Accounts or to be expended for other forms of credit enhancement to support future securitizations; the reduction or unavailability or warehouse lines of credit which the Company uses to accumulate Contracts for securitization transactions; increased competition from other automobile finance sources; reduction in the number and amount of acceptable Contracts submitted to the Company by its automobile dealer network; changes in government regulations affecting consumer credit; and other economic, financial and regulatory factors beyond the Company's control. 13 CONSUMER PORTFOLIO SERVICES, INC.
