PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION - ------- --------------------- ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF - ------- --------------------------------------- FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --------------------------------------------- Year 2000 The Trust has conducted an evaluation of the actions necessary to ensure that its business critical computer systems will function without disruption with respect to the application of dating systems in the Year 2000. As CFC is the Servicer of the receivables sold to the Trust, the business critical computer systems to the Trust are therefore those of CFC. CFC has conducted an evaluation of the actions necessary to ensure that its business critical computer systems will function without disruption with respect to the application of dating systems in the Year 2000. As a result of this evaluation, CFC is engaged in the process of upgrading, replacing and testing certain of its information and other computer systems. CFC's remedial actions are scheduled to be completed during the third quarter of 1999 and, based upon information currently available, CFC does not anticipate that the costs of its remedial actions will be material to the consolidated results of operations and financial position and are being expensed as incurred. However, there can be no assurance that the remedial actions being implemented by CFC will be completed in time to avoid dating systems problems or that the cost will not be material. If CFC is unable to complete its remedial actions in the planned timeframe, contingency plans will be developed to address those business critical systems that may not be Year 2000 compliant. In addition, disruptions with respect to the computer systems of vendors or customers, which are outside the control of CFC, could impair the ability of CFC to obtain necessary services or to provide services to their customers. Disruptions of CFC's computer systems, or the computer systems of CFC's vendors or customers, as well as the cost of avoiding such disruption, could have a material adverse effect upon the financial condition and results of operations. CFC has a process in place to assess the Year 2000 readiness of its business critical vendors and customers. CFC believes that the most likely worst case scenario is that a small number of vendors will be unable to supply service for a short time after January 1, 2000. As part of the assessment process, CFC will develop contingency plans for those business critical vendors who are either unable or unwilling to develop remediation plans to become Year 2000 compliant. Although these plans have yet to be developed, CFC expects that these plans will include selective resourcing of services to Year 2000 compliant vendors. CFC expects that vendors in this category will represent an insignificant part of its total service base. It is expected that these plans will be in place by the third quarter of 1999.
