Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
| |
Note 1. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, including certain special-purpose financing entities utilized in secured financing transactions, which are considered variable interest entities ("VIEs"). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The interim period consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, are condensed and do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America. These interim period condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements that are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 4, 2015 ("Form 10-K"). Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to our current year presentation.
The condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2015, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, are unaudited and, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim periods. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
Segment Information
We offer substantially similar products and services throughout many different regions, subject to local regulations and market conditions. We evaluate our business in two operating segments: North America (the "North America Segment") and international (the "International Segment"). The North America Segment includes our operations in the U.S. and Canada. The International Segment includes our operations in all other countries. For additional financial information regarding our business segments, see Note 13 - "Segment Reporting." Related Party Transactions
We are the wholly-owned captive finance subsidiary of General Motors Company ("GM"). We offer loan and lease finance products through GM-franchised dealers to consumers purchasing new and certain used vehicles manufactured by GM and make commercial loans directly to GM-franchised dealers and their affiliates. Under subvention programs, GM makes cash payments to us for offering incentivized rates and structures on consumer loan and lease finance products. In addition, GM makes payments to us to cover certain interest payments on commercial loans. In our International Segment, we provide limited funding to GM for new and used vehicles awaiting delivery to dealers. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had related party receivables from GM in the amount of $589 million and $384 million, primarily related to subvention.
At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had $186 million and $176 million in commercial loans outstanding to dealers that are consolidated by GM. Prior to January 1, 2015, we provided financing to certain GM subsidiaries through factoring and other wholesale financing arrangements. At December 31, 2014, $289 million was outstanding under such arrangements, and was included in commercial finance receivables. No amounts were outstanding at September 30, 2015. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had $527 million and $433 million of related party payables due to GM, primarily for commercial finance receivables originated but not yet funded. These payables typically settle within 30 days.
We have a tax sharing agreement with GM for our U.S. operations. Under our tax sharing arrangement with GM, payments related to our U.S. operations for the tax years 2012 through 2014 were deferred for four years from their original due date. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $649 million and $636 million was due to GM under the related party tax sharing agreement.
We have a Support Agreement with GM (the "Support Agreement"), which provides that, if our earning assets leverage at the end of any calendar quarter is higher than thresholds set in the Support Agreement, we may require GM to provide funding sufficient to bring our earning assets leverage to within the appropriate threshold. In determining our earning assets leverage (net earning assets divided by adjusted equity) under the Support Agreement, net earning assets means our finance receivables, net, plus leased vehicles, net, and adjusted equity means our equity, net of goodwill and inclusive of outstanding junior subordinated debt, as each may be adjusted for derivative accounting from time to time. At September 30, 2015, our earning assets leverage ratio was 8.4, which is below the applicable ratio of 9.5.
Additionally, the Support Agreement provides that GM will own all of our outstanding voting shares as long as we have any unsecured debt securities outstanding and that GM will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that we will continue to be designated as a subsidiary borrower on $4.0 billion under GM’s corporate revolving credit facilities. GM also agreed to certain provisions intended to ensure that we maintain adequate access to liquidity. Pursuant to these provisions, GM provided us with a $1.0 billion unsecured intercompany revolving credit facility (the “Junior Subordinated Revolving Credit Facility”). There were no advances outstanding under the Junior Subordinated Revolving Credit Facility at September 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In May 2014 the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, "Revenue Recognition - Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASU 2014-09") which requires companies to recognize revenue when a customer obtains control rather than when companies have transferred substantially all risks and rewards of a good or service and requires expanded disclosures. ASU 2014-09 was originally effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016 and interim periods therein. In July 2015 the FASB issued a deferral of ASU 2014-09 of one year, making it effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017 while also providing for early adoption, but not before the original effective date. We are currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, "Interest - Imputation of Interest" ("ASU 2015-03") which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. In August 2015 the FASB issued an amendment pursuant to an SEC staff announcement at the June 18, 2015 Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") meeting on ASU 2015-03, which addresses the presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs associated with line of credit arrangements. We are currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2015-03 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 2. Acquisition of Ally Financial International Operations
In November 2012, we entered into a definitive agreement with Ally Financial to acquire the outstanding equity interests in the top-level holding companies of its automotive finance and financial services operations in Europe and Latin America and a separate agreement to acquire Ally Financial's non-controlling equity interest in SAIC-GMAC Automotive Finance Company Limited ("SAIC-GMAC"), which conducts auto finance operations in China.
During 2013, we completed the acquisition of Ally Financial's European and Latin American auto finance and financial services operations. The aggregate consideration for these acquisitions was $3.3 billion. In addition, we repaid debt of $1.4 billion that was assumed as part of the acquisitions. We recorded the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date.
On January 2, 2015, we completed the acquisition of Ally Financial's 40% equity interest in SAIC-GMAC. The aggregate purchase price was $1.0 billion. Also on January 2, 2015, we sold a 5% equity interest in SAIC-GMAC to Shanghai Automotive Group Finance Company Ltd. (“SAIC FC”), a current shareholder of SAIC-GMAC, for proceeds of $125 million. As a result of these transactions, we own a 35% equity interest in SAIC-GMAC. We account for our ownership interest in SAIC-GMAC using the equity method of accounting. The difference between the carrying amount of our investment and our share of the underlying net assets of SAIC-GMAC at the time of acquisition was $371 million, which was primarily related to goodwill. We determined the acquisition date fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in accordance with ASC 805, "Business Combinations" ("ASC 805").
Income resulting from the equity investment in SAIC-GMAC is included in our results beginning January 2, 2015. Equity income from SAIC-GMAC recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $29 million and $85 million. If the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2014, our consolidated net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 would have been $183 million and $561 million.

Note 3. | Finance Receivables |
Our pre-acquisition and post-acquisition consumer finance portfolios are now reported on a combined basis, due to the diminished size of the pre-acquisition portfolio, which was $189 million at September 30, 2015 and $459 million at December 31, 2014.

Consumer Credit Quality
We use proprietary scoring systems in the underwriting process that measure the credit quality of the receivables using several factors, such as credit bureau information, consumer credit risk scores (e.g. FICO score), and contract characteristics. In addition to our proprietary scoring system, we consider other individual consumer factors, such as employment history, financial stability, and capacity to pay. At the time of loan origination, substantially all of the consumers in our International Segment have the equivalent of prime credit scores. In the North America Segment, while we historically focused on consumers with lower than prime credit scores, we are expanding our prime and near-prime lending programs. A summary of the credit risk profile by FICO score band, determined at origination, of the consumer finance receivables in the North America Segment is as follows (dollars in millions):
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | September 30, 2015 | | December 31, 2014 |

In addition, we review the credit quality of all of our consumer finance receivables based on consumer payment activity. A consumer account is considered delinquent if a substantial portion of a scheduled payment has not been received by the date such payment was contractually due. Consumer finance receivables are collateralized by vehicle titles and, subject to local laws, we generally have the right to repossess the vehicle in the event the consumer defaults on the payment terms of the contract. The following is a summary of the contractual amounts of delinquent consumer finance receivables, which is not significantly different than recorded investment, that are (i) more than 30 days delinquent, but not yet in repossession and (ii) in repossession, but not yet charged off (dollars in millions):

The accrual of finance charge income has been suspended on $726 million and $682 million of consumer finance receivables (based on contractual amount due) at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
Impaired Consumer Finance Receivables - TDRs
Consumer finance receivables that become classified as troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") are separately assessed for impairment. A specific allowance is estimated based on the present value of the expected future cash flows of the receivable discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate. The financial effects of the accounts that become classified as TDRs result in an impairment charge recorded as part of the provision for loan losses. Accounts that become classified as TDRs because of a payment deferral still accrue interest at the contractual rate and an additional fee is collected (where permitted) at each time of deferral and recorded as a reduction of accrued interest. No interest or fees are forgiven on a payment deferral to a customer; therefore, there are no additional financial effects of deferred loans becoming classified as TDRs. Accounts in the U.S. in Chapter 13 bankruptcy would have already been placed on non-accrual; therefore, there are no additional financial effects from these loans becoming classified as TDRs. Finance charge income from loans classified as TDRs is accounted for in the same manner as other accruing loans. Cash collections on these loans are allocated according to the same payment hierarchy methodology applied to loans that are not classified as TDRs.
At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the outstanding balance of consumer finance receivables in the International Segment determined to be TDRs was insignificant; therefore, the following information is presented with regard to the TDRs in the North America Segment only (in millions):

A redefault is when an account meets the requirements for evaluation under our charge-off policy (See Note 1 - "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in our Form 10-K for additional information). The unpaid principal balance, net of recoveries, of loans that redefaulted during the reporting period and were within 12 months of being modified as a TDR was insignificant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Commercial Credit Quality
We extend wholesale credit to dealers primarily in the form of approved lines of credit to purchase new vehicles as well as used vehicles. Each commercial lending request is evaluated, taking into consideration the borrower's financial condition and the underlying collateral for the loan. We use proprietary models to assign each dealer a risk rating. These models use historical performance data to identify key factors about a dealer that we consider significant in predicting a dealer's ability to meet its financial obligations. We also consider numerous other financial and qualitative factors including, but not limited to, capitalization and leverage, liquidity and cash flow, profitability and credit history.
We regularly review our models to confirm the continued business significance and statistical predictability of the factors and update the models to incorporate new factors or other information that improves statistical predictability. In addition, we verify the existence of the assets collateralizing the receivables by physical audits of vehicle inventories, which are performed with increased frequency for higher risk (i.e., Groups III, IV, V and VI) dealers. We perform a credit review of each dealer at least annually and adjust the dealer's risk rating, if necessary. The credit lines for Group VI dealers are typically suspended and no further funding is extended to these dealers.
Performance of our commercial finance receivables is evaluated based on our internal dealer risk rating analysis, as payment for wholesale receivables is generally not required until the dealer has sold the vehicle inventory. All receivables from the same dealer customer share the same risk rating.
A summary of the credit risk profile by dealer grouping of the commercial finance receivables is as follows (in millions):

Note 6. | Equity in Net Assets of Non-consolidated Affiliates |
Non-consolidated affiliates are entities in which an equity ownership interest is maintained and for which the equity method of accounting is used due to the ability to exert significant influence over decisions relating to their operating and financial affairs.
In January 2015, we completed the acquisition of Ally Financial's equity interest in SAIC-GMAC. See Note 2 - "Acquisition of Ally Financial International Operations" for additional information. The income of SAIC-GMAC is not consolidated into our financial statements; rather, our proportionate share of the earnings is reflected as equity income. At September 30, 2015, we had undistributed earnings of $85 million related to SAIC-GMAC.

Secured Debt
Most of the secured debt was issued by VIEs and is repayable only from proceeds related to the underlying pledged finance receivables and leases. Refer to Note 8 - "Variable Interest Entities" for additional information relating to our involvement with VIEs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we issued securitization notes payable of $9.4 billion through securitization transactions, and we entered into new credit facilities or renewed credit facilities with a total additional net borrowing capacity of $4.5 billion. Unsecured Debt
In January 2015, our top-tier holding company issued $2.25 billion in senior notes comprised of $1.0 billion of 3.15% notes due in January 2020, $1.0 billion of 4.0% notes due in January 2025 and $250 million in floating rate notes due in January 2020. All of these notes are guaranteed by our principal operating subsidiary, AmeriCredit Financial Services, Inc. ("AFSI").
In February 2015, a European subsidiary issued €650 million of 0.85% notes under our Euro medium term notes program. These notes are due in February 2018. All of these notes are guaranteed by our top-tier holding company and by AFSI.
In April 2015, our top-tier holding company issued $2.4 billion in senior notes comprised of $850 million of 2.4% notes due in April 2018, $1.25 billion of 3.45% notes due in April 2022 and $300 million of floating rate notes due in April 2018. All of these notes are guaranteed by AFSI.
In May 2015, our primary Canadian operating subsidiary issued CAD$500 million of 3.08% notes due in May 2020. The notes are guaranteed by our top-tier holding company and by AFSI.
In July 2015, our top-tier holding company issued $2.3 billion in senior notes comprised of $1.5 billion of 3.2% notes due in July 2020 and $800 million of 4.3% notes due in July 2025. All of these notes are guaranteed by AFSI.
Subsequent to September 30, 2015, our top-tier holding company issued an additional $1.75 billion in senior notes comprised of $1.5 billion of 3.1% notes due in January 2019 and $250 million of floating rate notes due in January 2019. All of these notes are guaranteed by AFSI.
The International Segment utilizes unsecured credit facilities with banks as well as non-bank funding sources. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we increased borrowing capacity on unsecured committed credit facilities by $246 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we began accepting deposits from retail banking customers in Germany. At September 30, 2015, the outstanding balance of these deposits was $611 million.
Note 8. Variable Interest Entities
Securitizations and credit facilities
We use special purpose entities ("SPEs") that are considered VIEs to issue variable funding notes to third party bank-sponsored warehouse facilities or asset-backed securities to investors in securitization transactions. The debt issued by these VIEs is backed by finance receivables and leasing related assets transferred by us to the VIEs ("Securitized Assets"). We hold variable interests in the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. We determined that we are the primary beneficiary of the SPEs because: (1) the servicing responsibilities for the Securitized Assets give us the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the VIEs; and (2) the variable interests in the VIEs give us the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive residual returns that could potentially be significant. The assets of the VIEs serve as the sole source of repayment for the debt issued by these entities. Investors in the notes issued by the VIEs do not have recourse to us or our other assets, with the exception of customary representation and warranty repurchase provisions and indemnities that we provide as the servicer. We are not required and do not currently intend to provide additional financial support to these SPEs. While these subsidiaries are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements, they are separate legal entities and their assets are legally owned by them and are not available to our creditors.
We recognize finance charge, lease vehicle and fee income on the securitized assets and interest expense on the secured debt issued in a securitization transaction, and record a provision for loan losses to recognize probable loan losses inherent in the Securitized Assets.
The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities of our consolidated VIEs related to securitization and credit facilities (in millions):
|
| | | | | | | | |

| | $ | 4,595 |
|
Secured debt | | $ | 26,916 |
| | $ | 22,794 |
|
These amounts are related to securitization and credit facilities held by consolidated VIEs. Liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating these entities generally do not represent claims against us or our other subsidiaries and assets recognized generally are for the benefit of these entities operations and cannot be used to satisfy our or our subsidiaries obligations.
Other VIEs
We consolidate certain operating entities that provide auto finance and financial services, which we do not control through a majority voting interest. We manage these entities and maintain a controlling financial interest in them and are exposed to the risks of ownership through contractual arrangements. The majority voting interests in these entities are indirectly wholly-owned by our parent, GM.

Transfers of finance receivables to non-VIEs
Under certain debt agreements, we transfer finance receivables to entities which are not considered VIEs. These transfers do not meet the criteria to be considered sales; therefore, the finance receivables and the related debt are included in our condensed consolidated financial statements, similar to the treatment of finance receivables and related debt of our consolidated VIEs. Any collections received on the transferred receivables are available only for the repayment of the related debt. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $1.3 billion and $2.5 billion in finance receivables had been transferred in secured funding arrangements to such entities, to which $1.2 billion and $2.4 billion in secured debt was outstanding.

We purchase interest rate cap agreements to limit floating rate exposures on certain of our revolving secured debt. We also utilize interest rate swap agreements to convert floating rate exposures on certain of our revolving debt or on securities issued in securitization transactions to fixed rates, thereby hedging the variability in interest expense paid. We use foreign currency swaps to hedge against valuation changes of certain financial instruments denominated in foreign currencies.

Note 10. | Fair Values of Financial Instruments |
Fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques in cases where quoted market prices are not available. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and the estimated timing and amount of future cash flows. Therefore, the estimates of fair value may differ substantially from amounts that ultimately may be realized or paid at settlement or maturity of the financial instruments and those differences may be material. Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments exclude certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of our company.
Estimated fair values, carrying values and various methods and assumptions used in valuing our financial instruments are set forth below (in millions):

(a) | Cash and cash equivalents bear interest at market rates; therefore, carrying value is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value. |
| |
(b) | The fair value of level 3 consumer finance receivables in the North America Segment is estimated based upon forecasted cash flows on the receivables discounted using a pre-tax weighted-average cost of capital. The fair value of level 3 consumer finance receivables in the International Segment is estimated based on forecasted cash flows on the receivables discounted using current origination rates for similar type loans. The fair value of level 2 commercial finance receivables is assumed to be carrying value, as the receivables generally have variable interest rates and maturities of one year or less. |
| |
(c) | Secured debt in the North America Segment is comprised of revolving credit facilities, publicly-issued secured debt, and privately-issued secured debt, and is valued using level 2 inputs. For the revolving credit facilities with variable rates of |
interest and terms of one year or less, carrying value is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value of the publicly-issued secured debt is based on quoted market prices of identical instruments in thinly-traded markets, when available. If quoted market prices are not available, and for determining the fair value of privately-issued secured debt, the market value is estimated using quoted market prices of similar securities.
| |
(d) | The fair value of level 2 secured debt in the International Segment is assumed to be par value, as the debt has terms of one year or less, or has been priced within the last six months. |
| |
(e) | The fair value of level 3 secured debt and unsecured debt in the International Segment is estimated by discounting future net cash flows expected to be settled using current risk-adjusted rates. |
| |
(f) | The fair value of level 2 unsecured debt in the North America Segment is based on quoted market prices of identical instruments in thinly-traded markets. |
| |
(g) | The fair value of level 2 senior notes in the International Segment is based on quoted market prices of identical instruments in thinly-traded markets.The fair value of other unsecured level 2 debt in the International Segment is assumed to be par value, as the debt has terms of one year or less. |
The fair value of our consumer finance receivables is based on observable and unobservable inputs within a discounted cash flow model. Those unobservable inputs reflect assumptions regarding expected prepayments, deferrals, delinquencies, recoveries and charge-offs of the loans within the portfolio. The cash flow model produces an estimated amortization schedule of the finance receivables which is the basis for the calculation of the series of cash flows that derive the fair value of the portfolio. For the North America Segment, the series of cash flows is calculated and discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital using unobservable debt and equity percentages, an unobservable cost of equity and an observable cost of debt based on companies with a similar credit rating and maturity profile. For the International Segment, the series of cash flows is calculated and discounted using current interest rates. Macroeconomic factors could affect the credit performance of our portfolio and therefore could potentially impact the assumptions used in our cash flow model.

Note 11. | Commitments and Contingencies |
Guarantees of Indebtedness
The payments of principal and interest on senior notes issued by our top-tier holding company, our primary Canadian operating subsidiary and a European subsidiary under our Euro medium term note program are guaranteed by our primary U.S. operating subsidiary, AFSI. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the par value of these senior notes was $16.4 billion and $8.4 billion. See Note 16 - "Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements" for further discussion. Legal Proceedings
As a consumer finance company, we are subject to various consumer claims and litigation seeking damages and statutory penalties, based upon, among other things, usury, disclosure inaccuracies, wrongful repossession, violations of bankruptcy stay provisions, certificate of title disputes, fraud, breach of contract and discriminatory treatment of credit applicants. Some litigation against us could take the form of class action complaints by consumers and certain legal actions include claims for substantial compensatory and/or punitive damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages. We establish reserves for legal claims when payments associated with the claims become probable and the payments can be reasonably estimated. Given the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of litigation and regulatory matters, it is generally very difficult to predict what the eventual outcome will be, and when the matter will be resolved. The actual costs of resolving legal claims may be higher or lower than any amounts reserved for the claims. At September 30, 2015, we estimated our reasonably possible legal exposure for unfavorable outcomes to be a range of up to $86 million and have accrued $38 million.
In July 2014, we were served with a subpoena by the U.S. Department of Justice directing us to produce certain documents relating to our and our subsidiaries’ and affiliates’ origination and securitization of sub-prime automobile loans since 2007 in connection with an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice in contemplation of a civil proceeding for potential violations of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989. Among other matters, the subpoena requests information relating to the underwriting criteria used to originate these automobile loans and the representations and warranties relating to those underwriting criteria that were made in connection with the securitization of the automobile loans. We have subsequently been served with additional investigative subpoenas to produce documents from state attorneys general and other governmental offices relating to our consumer auto loan business and securitization of auto loans. In October 2014, we received a document request from the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with its investigation into certain practices in sub-prime auto loan securitization. We are investigating these matters internally and believe we are cooperating with all requests. Such investigations could in the future result in the imposition of damages, fines or civil or criminal claims and/or penalties. No assurance can be given that the ultimate outcome of the investigations or any resulting proceedings would not materially and adversely affect us or any of our subsidiaries and affiliates.
Other Administrative Tax Matters
We accrue non-income tax liabilities for contingencies when management believes that a loss is probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated, while contingent gains are recognized only when realized. In the event any losses are sustained in excess of accruals, they will be charged against income at that time.
In evaluating indirect tax matters, we take into consideration factors such as our historical experience with matters of similar nature, specific facts and circumstances, and the likelihood of prevailing. We reevaluate and update our accruals as matters progress over time. It is reasonably possible that some of the matters for which accruals have not been established could be decided unfavorably to us and could require us to make expenditures for which we estimate the aggregate risk to be a range of up to $47 million.
Note 12. Income Taxes
For interim income tax reporting we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to our year-to-date ordinary income. Tax jurisdictions with a projected or year-to-date loss for which a tax benefit cannot be realized are excluded from the annualized effective tax rate. The tax effects of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are reported in the interim period in which they occur.
In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, income tax expense of $52 million and $155 million primarily resulted from tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation, partially offset by tax benefits related to adjustments for finalizing prior year tax returns and an increase in certain U.S. federal tax credits. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, income tax expense of $50 million and $217 million primarily resulted from tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation, partially offset by tax benefits related to settlements in various jurisdictions.
We are included in GM’s consolidated U.S. federal income tax return and for certain states’ income tax returns. Income tax expense and deferred tax balances are presented in these financial statements as if we filed our own tax returns in each jurisdiction. The tax losses generated by us have been utilized by GM.

Note 13. | Segment Reporting |
We offer substantially similar products and services throughout many different regions, subject to local regulations and market conditions. We evaluate our business in two operating segments: the North America Segment (consisting of operations in the U.S. and Canada) and the International Segment (consisting of operations in all other countries). Our chief operating decision maker evaluates the operating results and performance of our business based on these operating segments. The management of each segment is responsible for executing our strategies.
For segment reporting purposes only, interest expense related to the senior notes has been allocated based on targeted leverage for each segment. Interest expense in excess of the targeted overall leverage is reflected in the "Corporate" column below. In addition, the interest income on intercompany loans provided to the international operations is presented in the "Corporate" column as revenue.
All inter-segment balances and transactions have been eliminated. Key financial data for our operating segments were as follows (in millions):

Note 15. | Regulatory Capital |
The International Segment includes the operations of certain stand-alone entities that operate in local markets as either banks or regulated finance companies that are subject to regulatory restrictions. These regulatory restrictions, among other things, require that these entities meet certain minimum capital requirements and may restrict dividend distributions and ownership of certain assets. We were in compliance with all regulatory requirements at September 30, 2015. Total assets of our regulated international banks and finance companies were approximately $10.8 billion and $11.4 billion at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
| |
Note 16. | Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements |
The payment of principal and interest on senior notes issued by our top-tier holding company is currently guaranteed solely by AFSI (the "Guarantor") and none of our other subsidiaries (the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries"). The Guarantor is a 100% owned consolidated subsidiary and is unconditionally liable for the obligations represented by the senior notes. The Guarantor’s guarantee may be released only upon customary circumstances, the terms of which vary by issuance. Customary circumstances include the sale or disposition of all of the Guarantor’s assets or capital stock, the achievement of investment grade rating of the senior notes and legal or covenant defeasance.
The condensed consolidating financial statements present consolidating financial data for (i) General Motors Financial Company, Inc. (on a parent-only basis), (ii) the Guarantor, (iii) the combined Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and (iv) the parent company and our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 (after the elimination of intercompany balances and transactions).
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the parent company using the equity method for purposes of this presentation. Results of operations of subsidiaries are therefore reflected in the parent company's investment accounts and earnings. The principal elimination entries set forth below eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions.

Item 2. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
OVERVIEW
We are a global provider of automobile finance solutions, and we operate in the market as the wholly-owned captive finance subsidiary of GM. We conduct our business generally in two segments: the North America Segment, which includes our operations in the U.S. and Canada, and the International Segment, which includes operations in Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Mexico, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the U.K. On January 2, 2015, we completed the acquisition of Ally Financial's 40% equity interest in SAIC-GMAC for an aggregate purchase price of $1.0 billion. Also on January 2, 2015, we sold a 5% equity interest in SAIC-GMAC to Shanghai Automotive Group Finance Company Ltd. (“SAIC FC”), a current shareholder of SAIC-GMAC, for proceeds of $125 million. As a result of these transactions, we own a 35% equity interest in SAIC-GMAC. During the second quarter of 2015, our International Segment began providing financial services to authorized GM dealerships in Peru.
Consumer
Our automobile finance programs in the North America Segment include full credit spectrum lending and leasing offered through GM-franchised dealers under the "GM Financial" brand. We also offer a sub-prime lending product through non-GM franchised and select independent dealers under the "AmeriCredit" brand. Our sub-prime lending program is designed to serve customers who have limited access to automobile financing through banks and credit unions. We therefore generally charge higher rates than those charged by banks and credit unions and expect to sustain a higher level of credit losses than on prime lending. We finance new GM vehicles, moderately-priced new vehicles from other manufacturers, and later-model, low mileage used vehicles. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, 83% and 63% of our loan and lease originations in the North America Segment were for new GM vehicles.
We are expanding our leasing, near-prime and prime lending programs through GM-franchised dealerships in North America and expect that leasing and prime lending will become an increasing percentage of our originations and consumer portfolio balance over time. Between February and April 2015, we implemented a brand-by-brand exclusive lease subvention arrangement in the U.S. with GM. We define prime lending as lending to customers with FICO scores of 680 and greater, near-prime lending as lending to customers with FICO scores between 620 to 679, and sub-prime lending as lending to customers with FICO scores of less than 620. The following table presents our consumer loan and lease originations in North America by FICO score band (in millions):

The consumer lending and leasing programs in our International Segment focus on financing new GM vehicles and select used vehicles predominantly for consumers with prime credit scores. We also offer finance-related insurance products through third parties, such as credit life, gap and extended warranty coverage.
Commercial
Our commercial lending products are offered primarily to GM-franchised dealers and their affiliates and consist predominantly of loans to finance vehicle inventory, also known as wholesale or floorplan financing, as well as dealer loans, which are loans to finance improvements to dealership facilities, to provide working capital and to purchase and/or finance dealership real estate. Other commercial products offered in the International Segment include storage center financing.
We establish new and used vehicle inventory credit lines at the time of dealer account acquisition, subject to revision as part of subsequent annual credit reviews. The maximum availability on these credit lines is based upon a dealer’s monthly vehicle sales rate and financial strength at the time of account acquisition or annual review, as applicable. At times, a dealer’s vehicle inventory needs may exceed its credit line availability for a number of reasons, such as seasonal factory build-out, planned marketing events, reductions in sales, or other business and seasonal factors. When a dealer's needs require that its outstanding balance be allowed to exceed the maximum availability under its credit line(s), we may accept a temporary overline situation, reallocate credit amounts among existing lines, temporarily or permanently increase the dealer's credit line, or suspend the dealer's credit lines.
The action we take depends on communications with the dealer, analysis of the dealer's financial condition and the underlying cause of the need for the overline.
Financing
We primarily finance our loan, lease and commercial origination volume through the use of our secured and unsecured credit facilities, through public and private securitization transactions where such markets are developed, through the issuance of unsecured debt in the public markets and by accepting deposits from retail banking customers in Germany. We seek to fund our operations through local sources of funding to minimize currency and country risk. As such, the mix of funding sources varies from country to country, based on the characteristics of our earning assets and the relative development of the capital markets in each country. Our Latin American operations are entirely funded locally. Our European operations obtain most of their funding from local sources and also borrow funds from affiliated companies.
GM provides us with financial resources through a tax sharing agreement, which effectively deferred taxes from the tax years 2012 through 2014 that we would have otherwise been required to pay to GM on the statutory tax payment due dates. GM also provides us with financial resources through a $1.0 billion unsecured intercompany revolving credit facility (the "Junior Subordinated Revolving Credit Facility").
We have the ability to borrow up to $2.0 billion against each of GM's unsecured revolving credit facilities (a three-year $5.0 billion facility and a five-year, $7.5 billion facility) subject to available capacity. Our borrowings under GM's facilities are limited by GM's ability to borrow the entire amount available under the facilities. Therefore, we may be able to borrow up to $4.0 billion in total or may be unable to borrow depending on GM's borrowing activity. If we do borrow under these facilities, we expect such borrowings would be short-term in nature and, except in extraordinary circumstances, would not be used to fund our operating activities in the ordinary course of business. Neither we, nor any of our subsidiaries, guarantee any obligations under these facilities, and none of our or our subsidiaries' assets secure these facilities.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We conduct operations around the world, and we are therefore subject to valuation changes of foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, the British Pound, the Brazilian Real, the Mexican Peso and the Canadian Dollar. We translate the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of our foreign operations into the U.S. Dollar at then-applicable exchange rates. Consequently, increases or decreases in the value of the U.S. Dollar may affect the value of these items with respect to our non-U.S. businesses in our consolidated financial statements, even if their values have not changed in their original currencies. For example, a stronger U.S. Dollar will reduce the reported results of our foreign operations and conversely a weaker U.S. Dollar will increase the reported results of our foreign operations. These translations could significantly affect the comparability of our results between financial periods. In our tabular presentation of the changes in results between financial periods, we provide the following information: (i) the amount of change excluding the impact of foreign currency translation (“FX”); (ii) the amount of the impact of foreign currency translation; and (iii) the total change. The amount of the impact of foreign currency translation was derived by translating current year results at the average of prior year exchange rates, and was driven by the appreciation of the U.S. Dollar against all of the currencies used by our foreign operations. We believe the amount of change excluding the foreign currency translation impact facilitates a better comparison of results. In our discussion below, we discuss changes in relevant items excluding any foreign currency translation impact.

Average earning assets increased in the North America Segment as a result of the continued increase of our share of GM's business in that segment. Average earning assets in the International Segment decreased primarily due to the impact of foreign currency translation. The increase in average leased vehicles, net primarily resulted from our exclusive lease subvention arrangement in the U.S. with GM, which was implemented on a brand-by-brand basis between February and April 2015.
In the North America Segment, the average annual percentage rate for consumer finance receivables purchased during the three months ended September 30, 2015 decreased to 6.7% from 11.0% during the prior period, and the average consumer loan and lease size increased. These changes are primarily due to higher volumes of new car originations, which typically are for higher amounts, and have lower contractual rates due to the rate subvention support provided by GM, as well as increased prime and near-prime lending.

In the North America Segment, finance charge income on consumer finance receivables increased for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014, due to the growth in the portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in effective yield. The effective yield on our consumer finance receivables decreased primarily due to a decrease in the average annual percentage rate on new originations, as we have increased our prime and near-prime lending in 2015. The effective yield represents finance charges and fees recorded in earnings during the period as a percentage of average consumer finance receivables. The effective yield, as a percentage of average consumer finance receivables, is higher than the contractual rates of our auto finance contracts primarily because the effective yield includes, in addition to the contractual rates and fees, the impact of rate subvention provided by GM.
The increase in commercial finance charge income is primarily due to the increase in the size of the commercial receivable portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in the effective yield on commercial finance receivables.
The increase in leased vehicle income reflects the increase in the size of the leased asset portfolio.
Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, revenues in the International Segment remained relatively stable.

(a) Amounts do not reflect allocation of senior note interest expense, and therefore do not agree with amounts presented in Note 13 - "Segment Reporting" in our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.
Operating Expenses
The increase in operating expenses relates to the growth in earning assets and investments to support the prime lending program and enhance lease origination and servicing capabilities in the North America Segment. Our operating expenses are predominantly related to personnel costs that include base salary and wages, performance incentives and benefits as well as related employment taxes. Operating expenses as an annualized percentage of average earning assets were 2.5% and 3.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.
Leased Vehicle Expenses
Leased vehicle expenses, which are primarily comprised of depreciation of leased vehicles, increased due to the increased size of the leased asset portfolio in the North America Segment.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for consumer loan losses decreased primarily due to an improvement in the near-term assumption for repossession recovery rates in the North America Segment, based on continuing strength in wholesale used vehicle prices. As an annualized percentage of average consumer finance receivables, the provision for loan losses was 2.1% and 2.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The provision for commercial loan losses was insignificant for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased primarily due to an increase in the average debt outstanding resulting from growth in the loan and lease portfolios, partially offset by a decrease in the effective rate of interest on debt.
Taxes
Our consolidated effective income tax rate was 22.5% and 24.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The decrease in the effective income tax rate is due primarily to reduced tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation, tax benefits related to adjustments for finalizing prior year tax returns and an increase in certain U.S. federal tax credits.
Other Comprehensive Income
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment
Consolidated foreign currency translation adjustments included in other comprehensive (loss) income were $(282) million and $(272) million for three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. Most of the international operations use functional currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Translation adjustments result from changes in the values of our international currency-denominated assets and liabilities as the value of the U.S. Dollar changes in relation to international currencies.

Operating Expenses
The increase in operating expenses relates to the growth in earning assets and investments to support the prime lending program and enhanced lease origination and servicing capabilities in the North America Segment. Our operating expenses are predominantly related to personnel costs that include base salary and wages, performance incentives and benefits as well as related employment taxes. Operating expenses an an annualized percentage of average earning assets were 2.8% and 3.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.
Leased Vehicle Expenses
Leased vehicle expenses, which are primarily comprised of depreciation of leased vehicles, increased due to the increased size of the leased asset portfolio in the North America Segment.
Provision for Loan losses
The provision for consumer loan losses increased primarily due to the growth in the consumer finance receivables portfolio. As an annualized percentage of average consumer finance receivables, the provision for loan losses was 2.2% for both the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The provision for commercial loan losses was insignificant for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased primarily due to an increase in the average debt outstanding resulting from growth in the loan and lease portfolios, partially offset by a decrease in the effective rate of interest on debt.
Taxes
Our consolidated effective income tax rate was 23.1% and 31.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The decrease in the effective income tax rate is due primarily to reduced tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation, tax benefits related to adjustments for finalizing prior year tax returns and an increase in certain U.S. federal tax credits.
Other Comprehensive Income
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment
Consolidated foreign currency translation adjustments included in other comprehensive (loss) income were $(524) million and $(218) million for nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. Most of the international operations use functional currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Translation adjustments result from changes in the values of our international currency-denominated assets and liabilities as the value of the U.S. Dollar changes in relation to international currencies.

_________________
| |
(a) | Average amount of outstanding contracts consists of consumer finance receivables, net of fees, divided by number of outstanding contracts. The decrease in the average amount of outstanding contracts in the International Segment is primarily due to changes in foreign exchange rates. |
Our consumer finance receivables consist of smaller-balance, homogeneous loans, divided into two primary portfolios: finance receivables originated in the North America Segment and finance receivables originated in the International Segment, both of which are carried at amortized cost, net of allowance for loan losses. Each of these portfolios is further divided into pools based on common risk characteristics, such as internal credit score, origination period, delinquent status and geography. An internal credit score, of which FICO is an input in North America, is created by using algorithms or statistical models contained in origination scorecards. The scorecards are used to evaluate a consumer’s ability to pay based on statistical modeling of their prior credit usage, structure of the loan and other information. The output of the scorecards rank-order consumers from those that are most likely to pay to those that are least likely to pay. By further dividing the portfolio into pools based on internal credit scores we are better able to distinguish expected credit performance for different credit risks. These pools are collectively evaluated for impairment based on a statistical calculation, which is supplemented by management judgment. The allowance is aggregated for each of the portfolio pools. Provisions for loan losses are charged to operations in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for loan losses at levels considered adequate to cover probable losses incurred in our finance receivables.
At September 30, 2015, the allowance for loan losses for the North America Segment as a percentage of consumer finance receivables, net of fees, decreased from the level at December 31, 2014, consistent with the improved credit mix in our portfolio resulting from our expansion of prime lending. The International Segment's allowance continues to grow with the growth in the portfolio of receivables originated since the acquisition.

There were insignificant charge-offs of commercial finance receivables for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, substantially all of our commercial finance receivables were current with respect to payment status and none were classified as TDRs.
Leased Vehicles
At September 30, 2015 and 2014, 98.4% of our leases were current with respect to payment status. Leased vehicles returned as a result of a default increased to $31 million and $77 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $15 million and $39 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, as a result of the increase in the lease portfolio.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
General
Our primary sources of cash are finance charge income, leasing income, servicing fees, net distributions from secured debt facilities including securitizations, secured and unsecured borrowings and collections and recoveries on finance receivables. Our primary uses of cash are purchases of consumer finance receivables and leased vehicles, the funding of commercial finance receivables, funding credit enhancement requirements in connection with securitizations and secured debt facilities, repayment of secured and unsecured debt, operating expenses, interest costs and business acquisitions.
In the North America Segment, our purchase and funding of consumer and commercial finance receivables and lease vehicles are financed initially utilizing cash and borrowings on our secured credit facilities. Subsequently, our strategy is to obtain long-term financing for finance receivables and leased vehicles through securitization transactions and the issuance of unsecured debt.
In the International Segment, our purchase and funding of finance receivables are typically financed with borrowings on secured and unsecured credit facilities. In certain countries where the debt capital and securitization markets are sufficiently
developed, such as in Germany and the U.K., we obtain permanent financing through securitization transactions. In addition, we raise unsecured debt in the international capital markets through the issuance of notes under our Euro medium term note program and accept deposits from retail banking customers in Germany.
Cash Flow
In the nine months ended September 30, 2015, net cash provided by operating activities increased correspondingly with the increase in net income excluding leased vehicle expenses, which primarily represent depreciation on leased vehicles.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2015, net cash used by investing activities increased compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 due to a net increase in cash invested in consumer finance receivables of $1.7 billion, an increase in purchases of leased vehicles of $8.0 billion and cash used for the acquisition of the equity interest in SAIC-GMAC of $1.0 billion, partially offset by a decrease in net fundings of commercial receivables of $229 million.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2015, net cash provided by financing activities increased compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 due primarily to a net increase in borrowings of $7.6 billion.
Liquidity
Our available liquidity consists of the following (in millions):
|

| | December 31, 2014 |

_________________
| |
(a) | Includes $709 million and $691 million in unrestricted cash outside of the U.S. at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. This cash is considered to be indefinitely invested based on specific plans for reinvestment of these earnings. |
In the nine months ended September 30, 2015 available liquidity increased due to: (1) increased borrowing capacity on unpledged eligible assets primarily due to decreased usage of secured debt facilities as a result of the issuance of senior unsecured notes; and (2) increased borrowing capacity on committed unsecured lines of credit primarily due to funding provided by retail banking deposits in Germany; partially offset by (3) cash used for the acquisition of the equity interest in SAIC-GMAC.
We have the ability to borrow up to $2.0 billion against each of GM's unsecured revolving credit facilities (a three-year, $5.0 billion facility and a five-year $7.5 billion facility) subject to available capacity. Our borrowings under GM's facilities are limited by GM's ability to borrow the entire amount available under the facilities. Therefore, we may be able to borrow up to $4.0 billion in total or may be unable to borrow depending on GM's borrowing activity. If we do borrow under these facilities, we expect such borrowings would be short-term in nature and, except in extraordinary circumstances, would not be used to fund our operating activities in the ordinary course of business. Neither we, nor any of our subsidiaries, guarantee any obligations under these facilities and none of our assets secure these facilities. Liquidity available to us under the GM unsecured revolving credit facilities is not included in the table above.
Credit Facilities
In the normal course of business, in addition to using our available cash, we utilize borrowings under our credit facilities, which may be secured or structured as securitizations, or may be unsecured, and we repay these borrowings as appropriate under our liquidity management strategy.
At September 30, 2015, credit facilities consist of the following (in millions):
|

Facility Type | | Facility Amount | | Advances Outstanding |
Revolving consumer asset-secured facilities(a) | | $ | 17,389 |

(d) | The financial institutions providing the uncommitted facilities are not contractually obligated to advance funds under them; therefore, we do not include available capacity on these facilities in our liquidity. We had $720 million and $215 million in unused borrowing capacity on these facilities at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. |
See Note 7 - "Debt" to our consolidated financial statements in our Form 10-K for further discussion of the terms of our revolving credit facilities. Securitization Notes Payable
We periodically finance our consumer and commercial finance receivables and leases through public and private term securitization transactions, where the securitization markets are sufficiently developed. A summary of securitization notes payable is as follows (in millions):
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

(b) | At historical foreign currency exchange rates at the time of issuance. |
Our securitizations utilize special purpose entities which are also VIEs that meet the requirements to be consolidated in our financial statements. See Note 8- "Variable Interest Entities" to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for further discussion. Senior Notes and Other Unsecured Debt
We periodically access the debt capital markets through the issuance of senior unsecured notes, predominantly from registered shelves in the U.S. and Europe. At September 30, 2015, we had $16.4 billion in senior unsecured notes outstanding.
Subsequent to September 30, 2015, our top-tier holding company issued an additional $1.75 billion in senior notes, comprised of $1.5 billion of 3.1% notes due in January 2019 and $250 million of floating rate notes due in January 2019. All of these notes are guaranteed by AFSI.
In the International Segment, particularly in Latin America, we issue other unsecured debt through commercial paper offerings and other non-bank funding sources. At September 30, 2015, we had $626 million of this type of unsecured debt outstanding. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, we began accepting deposits from retail banking customers in Germany. At September 30, 2015, the outstanding balance of these deposits was $611 million, of which 39% were overnight deposits.

We undertake no obligation to, and do not, publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, except as required by federal securities laws, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
The following factors are among those that may cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or from the forward-looking statements:
| |
• | changes in general economic and business conditions; |
| |
• | GM's ability to sell new vehicles that we finance in the markets we serve in North America, Europe, Latin America and China; |
| |
• | interest rate and currency fluctuations; |
| |
• | our financial condition and liquidity, as well as future cash flows and earnings; |
| |
• | the effect, interpretation or application of new or existing laws, regulations, court decisions and accounting pronouncements; |
| |
• | the availability of sources of financing; |
| |
• | the level of net charge-offs, delinquencies and prepayments on the loans and leases we originate; |
| |
• | vehicle return rates and the residual value performance on vehicles we lease; |
| |
• | the viability of GM-franchised dealers that are commercial loan customers; |
| |
• | the prices at which used cars are sold in the wholesale auction markets; and |
| |
• | changes in business strategy, including expansion of product lines and credit risk appetite, and acquisitions. |
If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those expected, estimated or projected.

Item 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
There have been no significant changes in our exposure to interest rate risk since December 31, 2014. See Item 7A - "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our Form 10-K.
| |
Item 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer ("CEO") and principal financial officer ("CFO"), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) at September 30, 2015. Based on this evaluation, required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 and/or 15d-15, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at September 30, 2015.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes made in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2015, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Limitations Inherent in all Controls
Our management, including the CEO and CFO, recognize that the disclosure controls and internal controls (discussed above) cannot prevent all errors or all attempts at fraud. Any controls system, no matter how well crafted and operated, can only provide reasonable, and not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in any control system, no evaluation or implementation of a control system can provide complete assurance that all control issues and all possible instances of fraud have been or will be detected.

Part II. | OTHER INFORMATION |
See Note 11 - "Commitments and Contingencies" to our condensed consolidated financial statements for information relating to legal proceedings.
We face a number of significant risks and uncertainties in connection with our operations. Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected by these risks factors. Except as set forth in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Form 10-K.
