Quarterly Report
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 8 -
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of our 2008 Annual Report on Form
10-K, as well as Item 1- Consolidated Financial Statements, in this Form 10-Q.
Critical Success Factors
Critical success factors include the ability to accurately forecast Consumer
Loan performance and access to capital.
At the time of Consumer Loan acceptance or purchase, we forecast future
expected cash flows from the Consumer Loan. Based on these forecasts, an advance
or one time payment is made to the related dealer-partner at a level designed to
achieve an acceptable return on capital. If Consumer Loan performance equals or
exceeds our original expectation, it is likely our target return on capital will
be achieved.
Our strategy for accessing capital is to: (1) maintain consistent financial
performance; (2) maintain modest financial leverage; and (3) maintain multiple
funding sources. Our funded debt to equity ratio is 1.4:1 at June 30, 2009. We
currently use four primary sources of financing: (1) a revolving secured line of
credit with a commercial bank syndicate; (2) revolving secured warehouse
facilities with institutional investors; (3) SEC Rule 144A asset-backed secured
borrowings with qualified institutional investors; and (4) a residual credit
facility with an institutional investor.
Consumer Loan Performance
We use a statistical model to estimate the expected collection rate for each
Consumer Loan at inception. We continue to evaluate the expected collection rate
of each Consumer Loan subsequent to inception. Our evaluation becomes more
accurate as the Consumer Loans age, as we use actual performance data in our
forecast. By comparing our current expected collection rate for each Consumer
Loan with the rate we projected at the time of assignment, we are able to assess
the accuracy of our initial forecast. The following table compares our forecast
of Consumer Loan collection rates as of June 30, 2009, with the forecasts as of
March 31, 2009, as of December 31, 2008, and at the time of assignment,
segmented by year of assignment:

(1) The forecasted collection rate for 2009 Consumer Loans as of June 30, 2009 includes both Consumer Loans that were in our portfolio as of March 31, 2009 and Consumer Loans received during the most recent quarter. The following table provides forecasted collection rates for each of these segments:
Forecasted Collection Percentage as of
June 30, March 31,
2009 Consumer Loan Assignment Period 2009 2009 Variance
January 1, 2009 through March 31, 2009 72.8 % 69.3 % 3.5 %
April 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009 71.7 % - -
|
Consumer Loan performance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009
exceeded our forecasts at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
As a result of current economic conditions and uncertainty about future
conditions, we continue to be cautious about our forecasts of future collection
rates. However, we believe our current estimates are reasonable for the
following reasons:
• Our forecasts start with the assumption that Consumer Loans in our current
portfolio will perform like historical Consumer Loans with similar
attributes.
• During 2008, we reduced our forecasts on Consumer Loans assigned in 2006 through 2008 as these Consumer Loans began to perform worse than expected. Additionally, we adjusted our estimated timing of future net cash flows to reflect recent trends relating to Consumer Loan prepayments.
• During 2008, and during the first quarter of 2009, we reduced the expected collection rate on new Consumer Loan assignments. The reductions reflect both the experience to date on 2006 through 2008 Consumer Loans as well as an expectation that the external environment will continue to negatively impact Consumer Loan performance.
• Our current forecasting methodology, when applied against historical data, produces a consistent forecasted collection rate as the Consumer Loans age.
Although current economic uncertainty increases the risk of poor Consumer
Loan performance, we set prices at Consumer Loan inception to increase the
likelihood of achieving an acceptable return on capital, even if collection
results are worse than we currently forecast.
The following table presents forecasted Consumer Loan collection rates,
advance rates (includes amounts paid to acquire Purchased Loans), the spread
(the forecasted collection rate less the advance rate), and the percentage of
the forecasted collections that had been realized as of June 30, 2009. Payments
of Dealer Holdback and Portfolio Profit Express are not included in the advance
percentage paid to the dealer-partner. All amounts are presented as a percentage
of the initial balance of the Consumer Loan (principal + interest). The table
includes both Dealer Loans and Purchased Loans.

The following table presents forecasted Consumer Loan collection rates, advance rates (includes amounts paid to acquire Purchased Loans), and the spread (the forecasted collection rate less the advance rate) as of June 30, 2009 for Purchased Loans and Dealer Loans separately:
Forecasted
Loan Assignment Year Collection % Advance % Spread %
Purchased Loans 2007 68.2 % 48.8 % 19.4 %
2008 67.4 % 46.7 % 20.7 %
2009 71.9 % 45.5 % 26.4 %
Dealer Loans 2007 68.4 % 45.9 % 22.5 %
2008 68.9 % 43.5 % 25.4 %
2009 72.5 % 42.9 % 29.6 %
|
Although the advance rate on Purchased Loans is higher as compared to the
advance rate on Dealer Loans, Purchased Loans do not require the Company to pay
Dealer Holdback. The increase in the spread between the forecasted collection
rate and the advance rate during 2008 and 2009 occurred as a result of pricing
changes implemented during the first nine months of 2008 and improving
forecasted collection rates during the first six months of 2009.
The following table summarizes changes in Consumer Loan dollar and unit
volume in each of the last six quarters as compared to the same period in the
previous year:
Consumer Loans

March 31, 2009 -26.3 % -13.0 %
June 30, 2009 -30.2 % -16.2 %
|
Unit and dollar volume declined during the first two quarters of 2009 as
compared to the same periods in 2008 due to pricing changes implemented during
the first nine months of 2008.
The following table summarizes key information regarding Purchased Loans:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended

New Purchased Loan dollar volume as a
percentage of total dollar volume 17.0 % 39.2 % 19.4 % 36.6 %
|
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, new Purchased Loan unit and
dollar volume as a percentage of total unit and dollar volume, respectively,
decreased as compared to 2008 due to pricing changes implemented during the
first nine months of 2008.
As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, the net Purchased Loan receivable balance was
29.3% and 27.5%, respectively, of the total net receivable balance.

Continuing Operations
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to Three and Six Months
Ended June 30, 2008
The following table highlights changes for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2009, as compared to 2008:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
June 30, 2009 June 30, 2009
Average outstanding balance of Loan portfolio 7.1 % 12.5 %
Finance charges 14.5 % 17.4 %
Operating expenses -3.2 % -2.4 %
Provision for credit losses -118.3 % -115.5 %
Interest expense -26.3 % -26.7 %
Income from continuing operations 248.3 % 133.1 %
|
Income from continuing operations increased for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2009 primarily due to the following:
• Increased finance charges due primarily to the increase in the average
outstanding balance of our Loan portfolio and an increase in the average
yield on our Loan portfolio;
• Decreased provision for credit losses due to an improvement in the performance of our Loan portfolio;
• Decreased interest expense due to a reduction in market rates on our floating rate outstanding debt and a reduction in the average outstanding debt balance; and
• Decreased operating expenses due to:
• Reduced expenses related to information technology.
• An increased percentage of Loan origination costs being deferred due to a decrease in the Purchased Loan unit volume as a percentage of total unit volume.
• Lower sales commissions due to a reduction in unit volume.
In addition to the above, the formation of VSC Re during the fourth quarter of 2008 had a favorable impact on 2009 profitability. The VSC Re earnings are recognized on an accrual basis and recorded as premiums earned less a claims provision. Previously, earnings on vehicle service contracts were recorded as other income and realized when profit sharing payments were received from third party administrators. The following table shows the after-tax earnings from VSC Re and profit sharing payments received and recorded as other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:

Finance Charges. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, finance charges
increased $10.3 million, or 14.5%, as compared to the same period in 2008. For
the six months ended June 30, 2009, finance charges increased $23.3 million, or
17.4%, as compared to the same period in 2008. The increases were primarily the
result of:
• An increase in the average Loans receivable balance due to growth in new
Loan volume in 2007 and during the first nine months of 2008.
• An increase in the average yield on our Loan portfolio resulting from pricing changes implemented during the first nine months of 2008 and an increase in forecasted collection rates during the first six months of 2009. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the average yield on our Loan portfolio was 30.6% and 27.9%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the average yield on our Loan portfolio was 30.0% and 28.2%, respectively.
Premiums Earned and Provision for Claims. For the three months ended June 30,
2009, premiums earned and provision for claims increased $7.2 million and
$4.8 million, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2008. For the six
months ended June 30, 2009, premiums earned and provision for claims increased
$13.6 million and $9.6 million, respectively, as compared to the same period in
2008.
During the fourth quarter of 2008, we formed VSC Re in order to enhance our
control over and the security in the trust assets that will be used to pay
future vehicle service contract claims. VSC Re currently reinsures vehicle
