<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
March 2, 2004 the Company issued a press release announcing its financial results for the
fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2003. A copy of the press release is attached
to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein solely for
purposes of Item 12. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
press release attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 contains
financial measures for income before taxes, net income and fully diluted earnings per
share excluding one-time benefits and other charges that are not calculated in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (&#147;GAAP&#148;). The
Company has provided a reconciliation in the press release attached to this Current Report
on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 of the non-GAAP financial measures for income before taxes,
net income and fully diluted earnings per share excluding one-time benefits and other
charges to GAAP income before taxes, net income and fully diluted earnings per share. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Management
believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors
about the Company&#146;s results of operations because the elimination of one-time
benefits and charges that are included in the GAAP financial measures results in a
normalized comparison of certain key financial results between the periods presented. </FONT></P>

&#147;filed&#148; for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or
otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section. Furthermore, the information in

Company&#146;s exclusive Secured Financing Facility, under which it purchases credit card
receivables, expires at the end of 2004. Interest on this facility averages prime plus
2.85% plus contingent interest in the residual collections of each portfolio, resulting in
an effective interest rate of 58.3% in 2003 and 66.2% in 2002. The Company believes that
any replacement or renegotiation of this financing relationship will lower the
Company&#146;s effective cost of borrowing and have a positive effect on earnings and cash
flow. As a reference point, the interest expense under this facility was an after-tax
$0.15 and $0.53 per fully diluted share for the three months and full year ended December
31, 2003, respectively. The contingent interest portion of this expense was an after-tax
$0.13 and $0.47 per fully diluted share for the fourth quarter and full year ended
December 31, 2003, respectively. The Company is currently exploring the replacement or
renegotiation of this financing facility. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
a result of Encore&#146;s business success and the completion of its follow-on public
offering, the Company, as of December 31, 2003, had $38.6 million in unrestricted cash.
This cash is available to invest in non-credit card paper purchases or other
opportunities. As such, the Company expects that non-credit card paper will make up an
increasing percentage of its purchases in the near future. The Company believes these
purchases will yield a higher profit margin as they will be financed through arrangements
at a much lower effective interest rate. </FONT></P>
