"The financial performance of the Company for the second quarter once again showed improvement year-over-year as well as vs. the previous quarter," said Charles E. Bradley, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer. "As we have discussed in the past, the operating leverage inherent in our business model is now truly demonstrating itself. With respect to operations, the second quarter was very strong. Purchases of new receivables increased as compared to a robust first quarter and asset performance metrics continue to be outstanding. Delinquencies and net charge-offs were consistent with last year's second quarter levels, which were the best we had seen in almost 10 years. " During the second quarter of 2006, Consumer Portfolio Services purchased $268.8 million of contracts from dealers as compared to $254.5 million during the first quarter of 2006 and $153.9 million during the second quarter of 2005. As previously reported, the Company continued its regular quarterly securitization program by completing its first transaction with bond insurer, MBIA Insurance Corporation, with the June sale of $226.6 million of AAA/Aaa rated asset backed notes. As of June 30, 2006, the Company's managed receivables totaled $1,375.3 million, as follows ($ in millions): Owned by Consolidated Subsidiaries* $1,299.4 Owned by Non-Consolidated Subsidiaries 67.2 As Third Party Servicer for SeaWest Financial 8.7 -------- Total $1,375.3 * Before $107.7 million of allowance for credit losses, deferred acquisition fees and repossessed vehicles. As previously reported, in order to increase transparency of the Company's financial reports, in the third quarter of 2003 Consumer Portfolio Services began structuring its securitization transactions as secured financings, with receivables and associated debt remaining on the balance sheet, and without recognition of a gain on sale. Accordingly, net earnings are recognized over the life of the receivables as interest income and fee income, less related funding costs and a provision for losses. Such provisions are recorded upon acquisition and during the life of the receivables.
