For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, gain on sales of contracts totaled $40.5 million compared to gain on sales of $25.9 million for the same period of 1998. The increase in the gain on sales is primarily the result of an increase in the amount of contracts sold. Service fee income increased to $8.2 million and $19.8 million for the three- and nine- month periods ending September 30, 1999, compared to $4.0 million and $10.0 million for the same periods in 1998. These increases are due primarily to higher amounts of contractual service fees, late fees and document fees as a result of the growth in the servicing portfolio. The increase in revenue was a result of the continued expansion of the Company's servicing portfolio and the increased volume of contracts purchased resulting from the continued development of the dealer base in new and existing markets. Total operating expenses as a percent of average servicing portfolio declined to 4.16% for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, compared to 4.75% for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. The operating expense ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, was 4.31%, compared to 4.88% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. Portfolio Performance Annualized net charge-offs as a percent of average servicing portfolio increased to 1.80% at the end of third quarter 1999, from 1.72% at the end of third quarter 1998. The annualized net charge-offs as a percent of average servicing portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, was 1.75%, down from 1.77% for the same period in 1998. The amount of total delinquencies as a percent of the servicing portfolio was 2.68% at September 30, 1999, a 15 basis point improvement from 2.83% at December 31, 1998.

During the quarter, Chase arranged a $150 million warehouse line. The transaction increased Onyx's warehousing capacity by 32% to $625 million.

This news release contains forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. The most significant among these risks and uncertainties are (a) the Company's level of delinquencies, gross charge-offs and net losses, (b) the Company's ability to achieve adequate interest rate spreads, (c) the effects of economic factors on consumer debt, and (d) the continued availability of liquidity sources. Other important factors are detailed in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K as amended by Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 1998, and on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 1999, and June 30, 1999.
