1) We determine the applicable portfolio amount at the time you purchase or renew a note by aggregating the principal amount of all notes issued by Consumer Portfolio Services, Inc. that are currently owned by you.

2) The annual yield calculation assumes that:

a. the term of the note is renewed sequentially for an entire year,

b. the interest earned during each term is included in the principal amount for the next term,

c. the listed interest rate is the interest rate for each term, and

d. the accrued interest is paid annually. More frequent interest payments will reduce your annual yield.

3) the accrued interest is paid annually. More frequent interest payments will reduce your annual yield.

We are offering these notes to investors in the United States of America, other than in the states of Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wyoming.
