Revenues for the second quarter of the 1995 fiscal year increased 49% to $10.6 million from $7.1 million for the comparable prior-year period.

Net income per share was $0.25 on 18.8 million average shares outstanding compared with $0.19 per share on 16.1 million average shares outstanding for the prior-year period.

We acquired 7,733 contracts with a dollar value of $93.6 million in the first half of fiscal 1995 compared with 4,427 contracts with a dollar value of $50.3 million for the first half of last year. For the second quarter, the dollar value of contract acquisitions increased 113% to $47.7 million from $22.5 million for the same quarter last year, while the number of contracts increased 114% to 4,191 from 1,961.

, resulting in a total for the six-month period of $70.0 million. In fiscal 1994, we securitized receivables of $22.0 million for the second quarter and $31.7 million for the first six months. As we anticipated, there has been a shift in the peak loss period and an increase in delinquencies. These changes are attributable to the increasing debt burden of this credit segment. There has also been a slight increase in the average loss per vehicle due to weakness in used car values which is attributable to the large number of vehicles coming off of leases."
