ITEM 2.02 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.

The information in this Item 2.02, and the related Exhibit 99.1, is being
furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of 
the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the
liabilities of that Section. The information in this Current Report shall 
not be
incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

On July 26, 2005, the registrant issued a news release announcing its 
financial
earnings for the quarter ended June, 2005. A copy of the release is attached
as Exhibit 99.1.

Exhibit 99.1 to the report may contain a "non-GAAP financial measure" as 
defined
in Item 10 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as 
amended.
The possible non-GAAP financial measure is "managed receivables." This 
possible
non-GAAP financial measure is discussed below, including the most directly
comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States ("GAAP"), a
reconciliation of managed receivables to the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measure, and the reasons why the Company believes the presentation 
of
managed receivables provides useful information to management and to 
investors.
Managed receivables should be viewed in addition to, and not as an 
alternative
for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

On page 1 of the earnings release included in Exhibit 99.1, the Company 
stated
that managed receivables were $966.2 million at June 30, 2005. The most
directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance
with GAAP to the managed receivables measure is finance receivables on the
consolidated balance sheet. The managed receivables measure also includes 
(i)
the finance receivables held by unconsolidated subsidiaries off balance 
sheet
pursuant to statement on financial accounting standards No. 140, (ii) 
finance
receivables serviced by the Company without any ownership interest, and 
(iii)
repossessed vehicles included in other assets in the Company's balance 
sheet. In
addition, the managed receivables measure includes allowance for credit 
losses,
unearned origination fees, and certain other less significant adjustments.

The following table reconciles the Company's finance receivables, prepared 
on
the basis of GAAP, to managed receivables as of June 30, 2005:

=============

The managed receivables measure is useful to management and investors 
because it
facilitates comparisons between the Company and other finance companies that
either do not securitize their receivables or, due to the structure of their
securitization transactions, account for the securitizations of their
receivables as sales. The managed receivables measure is primarily used by
investors and analysts for that purpose.
