_________________  
(a)
Cash flows received for the servicing of securitizations consolidated as VIE’s are a component of finance charge income on the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
We retain servicing responsibilities for receivables transferred to the Trusts. We receive a monthly base servicing fee on the outstanding principal balance of our securitized receivables and supplemental fees (such as late charges) for servicing the receivables.
As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, we were servicing $9.9 billion and $7.9 billion of finance receivables that have been transferred to the Trusts.
