    Impact of the AutoBond Lending Latitude (All) Program:

    The Company continues to recognize the benefit and effectiveness of the
credit-scoring model incorporated into the AutoBond Lending Latitude (ALL)
Program.  The positive delinquency performance of contracts funded through the
program, on a tier-by-tier basis, as noted below, reflects that contracts in
the first two acquisition tiers perform better than those in the third tier,
which in turn, perform better than those in the bottom tiers.  This evident
trend proves the credit scoring model works as intended.

    Delinquency statistics for contracts acquired through the All Program by
tier, from 10/1/98 through 1/31/99, follow as of July 31, 1999.
