The business of making car loans to sub-prime borrowers and charging higher rates is promising. Also, UACA makes car loans to prime borrowers.

The problem is with UACA stubborn insistence on using gain-on-sale accounting; UACA believes its accountants are smarter than the market, and the economy and can predict loan deliquencies, pre-payoffs, late payments, etc. I do not think anyone is smarter than the market and the economy furthermore I flexibility is the key.

After what happened to many of the lending companies using gain-on-sale accounting in 1997-98, and recently with the Money Store failing it is clear to Wall Street and everyone watching that gain-on-sale accounting is unreliable and can lead to a overconfident and ignorant management and failure.
I have sold and would stay away there are better financial companies.
