        <footnote id="F1">On April 17, 2006, the reporting person filed a Form 4 reporting the grant of 5,634 shares of performance-based restricted stock.  Since the restricted stock grant was performance-based, the shares are not considered beneficially owned by the reporting person until the shares become vested and therefore, should not have been reported in a Form 4 on the date of grant.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Held in the CA Stock Fund of the Credit Acceptance Corporation 401(k) Plan and Trust as of April 13, 2006, according to the Plan trustee.</footnote>
