<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We are a specialty finance company. Our business is to purchase
and service retail automobile contracts originated primarily by franchised automobile dealers and, to a lesser extent, by select
independent dealers in the United States in the sale of new and used automobiles, light trucks and passenger vans. Through our
automobile contract purchases, we provide indirect financing to the customers of dealers who have limited credit histories, low
incomes or past credit problems, who we refer to as sub-prime customers. We serve as an alternative source of financing for dealers,
facilitating sales to customers who otherwise might not be able to obtain financing from traditional sources, such as commercial
banks, credit unions and the captive finance companies affiliated with major automobile manufacturers. In addition to purchasing
installment purchase contracts directly from dealers, we have also acquired installment purchase contracts in merger and acquisition
transactions, and purchased or originated (in amounts immaterial as of the date of this prospectus) loans secured by vehicles.
In this report, we refer to all of such contracts and loans as &quot;automobile contracts.&quot;</P>

various risks. Before you decide whether to purchase any of our securities, you should carefully consider the risks described below

by reference into this prospectus, in light of your particular investment objectives and financial circumstances. In particular,
but without limitation, the risk factors discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K, our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and in
our other filings with the SEC are factors that you should consider. See &ldquo;Incorporation of Documents by Reference.&rdquo;</P>

our business operations. Our business, financial conditions, or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by
any of these risks. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of
your investment.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">As permitted by the California Corporations
Code, we have adopted provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws that provide for the indemnification of our directors
and officers to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. These provisions, among other things, indemnify each of our directors
and officers for certain expenses, including judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settling or otherwise disposing of actions or
threatened actions, incurred by reason of the fact that such person was a director or officer of the Company.</P>

into indemnification agreements with some or all of our directors and officers pursuant to which we will indemnify them against
judgments, claims, damages, losses, and expenses incurred as a result of the fact that any such individual, in his capacity as
an officer or director, is made or threatened to be made a party to any suit or proceeding. The indemnification agreements may
provide for our advancing certain expenses (such as attorney&rsquo;s fees, witness fees, damages, judgments, fines and settlement
costs) in connection with any such suit or proceeding.</P>

our board to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in such series and with such preferences, conversion or other rights,
voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications, or other provisions as may be fixed by the board. <FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">Our
board of directors has previously authorized the issuance of two series of preferred stock, designated &ldquo;Class A Preferred&rdquo;
(the &ldquo;Class A Preferred&rdquo;) and &ldquo;Series B Convertible Preferred&rdquo; (the &ldquo;Series B Preferred&rdquo;).
All of such authorized shares were issued, none remain available for issuance, and none remain outstanding. The authority to authorize
issuance of up to 4,998,130 shares of preferred stock, in one or more series, remains.</FONT></P>

connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, the issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying,
deferring or preventing a change in control of the company without further action by the Shareholders. Shares of preferred stock
may be convertible into common stock based on terms, conditions, rates and subject to such adjustments set by the board. The issuance
of preferred stock with voting and conversion rights may also adversely affect the voting power of the holders of common stock,
including the loss of voting control to others, and negatively affect any dividend payments or liquidation payments to holders
of our common stock. No shares of preferred stock are currently outstanding.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">We can issue securities in registered form
or in the form of one or more global securities. We describe global securities in greater detail below. We refer to those persons
who have securities registered in their own names on the books that we or any applicable trustee maintain for this purpose as the
&ldquo;holders&rdquo; of those securities. These persons are the legal holders of the securities. We refer to those persons who,
indirectly through others, own beneficial interests in securities that are not registered in their own names as &ldquo;indirect
holders&rdquo; of those securities. As we discuss below, indirect holders are not legal holders, and investors in securities issued
in book-entry form or in street name will be indirect holders.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">We may issue securities in book-entry form
only, as we will specify in the applicable prospectus supplement. This means securities may be represented by one or more global
securities registered in the name of a financial institution that holds them as depositary on behalf of other financial institutions
that participate in the depositary&rsquo;s book-entry system. These participating institutions, which are referred to as participants,
in turn, hold beneficial interests in the securities on behalf of themselves or their customers.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">Only the person in whose name a security
is registered is recognized as the holder of that security. Securities issued in global form will be registered in the name of
the depositary or its nominee. Consequently, for securities issued in global form, we will recognize only the depositary as the
holder of the securities, and we will make all payments on the securities to the depositary. The depositary passes along the payments
it receives to its participants, which will in turn pass the payments along to their customers who are the beneficial owners. The
depositary and its participants do so under agreements they have made with one another or with their customers; they are not obligated
to do so under the terms of the securities.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">As a result, investors in a book-entry
security will not own securities directly. Instead, they will own beneficial interests in a global security, through a bank, broker
or other financial institution that participates in the depositary&rsquo;s book-entry system or holds an interest through a participant.
As long as the securities are issued in global form, investors will be indirect holders, and not holders, of the securities.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">We may terminate a global security or issue
securities in non-global form. In these cases, investors may choose to hold their securities in their own names or in &ldquo;street
name.&rdquo; Securities held by an investor in street name would be registered in the name of a bank, broker or other financial
institution that the investor chooses, and the investor would hold only a beneficial interest in those securities through an account
he or she maintains at that institution.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">For securities held in street name, we
will recognize only the intermediary banks, brokers and other financial institutions in whose names the securities are registered
as the holders of those securities, and we will make all payments on those securities to them. These institutions pass along the
payments they receive to their customers who are the beneficial owners, but only because they agree to do so in their customer
agreements or because they are legally required to do so. Investors who hold securities in street name will be indirect holders,
not holders, of those securities.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">Our obligations, as well as the obligations
of any applicable trustee and of any third parties employed by us or a trustee, run only to the legal holders of the securities.
We do not have obligations to investors who hold beneficial interests in global securities, in street name or by any other indirect
means. This will be the case whether an investor chooses to be an indirect holder of a security or has no choice because we are
issuing the securities only in global form.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">For example, once we make a payment or
give a notice to the holder, we have no further responsibility for the payment or notice even if that holder is required, under
agreements with depositary participants or customers or by law, to pass it along to the indirect holders but does not do so. Similarly,
we may want to obtain the approval of the holders to amend an indenture, to relieve us of the consequences of a default or of our
obligation to comply with a particular provision of the indenture or for other purposes. In such an event, we would seek approval
only from the holders, and not the indirect holders, of the securities. Whether and how the holders contact the indirect holders
is up to the holders.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">A global security is a security held by
a depositary that represents one or any other number of individual securities. Generally, all securities represented by the same

will be represented by a global security that we deposit with and register in the name of a financial institution or its nominee
that we select. The financial institution that we select for this purpose is called the depositary. Unless we specify otherwise
in the applicable prospectus supplement, DTC will be the depositary for all securities issued in book-entry form.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 24.5pt">A global security may not be transferred
to or registered in the name of anyone other than the depositary, its nominee or a successor depositary, unless special termination
situations arise. We describe those situations below under &ldquo;&mdash;&nbsp;Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be
Terminated.&rdquo; As a result of these arrangements, the depositary, or its nominee, will be the sole registered owner and holder
of all securities represented by a global security, and investors will be permitted to own only beneficial interests in a global
security. Beneficial interests must be held by means of an account with a broker, bank or other financial institution that in turn
has an account with the depositary or with another institution that does. Thus, an investor whose security is represented by a
global security will not be a holder of the security, but only an indirect holder of a beneficial interest in the global security.</P>

may purchase and sell securities in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases
to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of securities than
they are required to purchase in the offering. &ldquo;Covered&rdquo; short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the
underwriters&rsquo; option to purchase additional securities, if any, in the offering. If the underwriters have an over-allotment
option to purchase additional securities, the underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising their
over-allotment option or purchasing securities in the open market. In determining the source of securities to close out the covered
short position, the underwriters may consider, among other things, the price of securities available for purchase in the open market
as compared to the price at which they may purchase securities through the over-allotment option. &ldquo;Naked&rdquo; short sales
are any sales in excess of such option or where the underwriters do not have an over-allotment option. The underwriters must close
out any naked short position by purchasing securities in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if
the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the securities in the open market after pricing
that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.</P>

positions or to otherwise stabilize or maintain the price of the securities, the underwriters may bid for or purchase securities
in the open market and may impose penalty bids. If penalty bids are imposed, selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or
other broker-dealers participating in the offering are reclaimed if securities previously distributed in the offering are repurchased,
whether in connection with stabilization transactions or otherwise. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain
the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. The impositions of a
penalty bid may also affect the price of the securities to the extent that it discourages resale of the securities. The magnitude
or effect of any stabilization or other transactions is uncertain. These transactions may be effected on The NASDAQ Global Market
or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.</P>

action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was
