Information included in the preceding slides is believed to be accurate, but is not necessarily complete . Such information should be reviewed in its appropriate context . The implication that historical trends will continue in the future, or that past performance is indicative of future results, is disclaimed . To the extent that one reading the preceding material nevertheless makes such an inference, such inference would be a forward - looking statement, and would be subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to vary . Such risks include variable economic conditions, adverse portfolio performance (resulting, for example, from increased defaults by the underlying obligors), volatile wholesale values of collateral underlying CPS assets, reliance on warehouse financing and on the capital markets, fluctuating interest rates, increased competition, regulatory changes, the risk of obligor default inherent in sub - prime financing, and exposure to litigation . 22
