Form 10-K See 10-K. with the SEC on November November: see month. 22, 2006, we continue to be focused on preparing and filing our quarterly and annual financial statements for 2006. We expect to be current with our SEC filing obligations by the middle of the year." He continued, "During the fourth quarter of 2006, negative results from our servicing hedge reduced our overall results for our mortgage servicing Mortgage servicing The collection of monthly payments and penalties, record keeping, payment of insurance and taxes, and possible settlement of default , involved with a mortgage loan. segment.

"Our fleet management services segment performed at or above expectations for 2006, but these results were more than offset by the loss from the combined mortgage segments. On a consolidated basis, we expect to record a pre-tax pre-tax adj → anterior al impuesto pre-tax adj → avant impôt(s) pre-tax adj → al lordo d'imposta loss of between $10 million and $20 million and an after tax loss of between $22 million and $29 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. "Based upon origination Origination The process through which a mortgage lender creates a mortgage secured by some amount of the mortgagor's real property. Notes: Also known as loan origination, everyone must go through the origination process when securing a mortgage for a piece of real forecasts for the mortgage industry, we are targeting mortgage origination volume of $41 billion for 2007. Accordingly, we have taken steps, including a reduction in force, a reduction in IT spending, outsourcing (1) Contracting with outside consultants, software houses or service bureaus to perform systems analysis, programming and datacenter operations. Contrast with insourcing. See netsourcing, ASP, SSP and facilities management. certain back office operations, and a reduction in general and administrative expenses, which we believe will reduce the costs in our mortgage production and mortgage servicing segments by approximately $50 million in 2007. We believe that these actions, combined with an expected improvement in gain on sale margins, will return our combined mortgage segments to profitability in 2007. We will continue to evaluate additional steps to reduce costs in the combined mortgage segments." Mr. Edwards concluded, "Our efforts to sign new mortgage outsource clients in the second half of 2006 were delayed due to the late filing of our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, however, so far in 2007 we have signed three new outsource clients with an expected combined annual origination volume of approximately $600 million. We are also in discussions with another 15 potential outsource clients with combined annual origination volume opportunity of approximately $5 billion. During 2006, our fleet management segment signed 38 new accounts representing approximately 22,000 units which are expected to phase in over the next three to five years."

and the year ended December 31, 2005.
(3) Prior to June 30, 2006, certain home equity loans subserviced

delinquency calculations as of December 31, 2006. These loans

loans in foreclosure/real estate owned/bankruptcy would

balance that relates to those loans would remain 0.58%.
