REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To Participants and Administrator of the

Credit Acceptance Corporation 401(k) Plan and Trust

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Credit Acceptance Corporation 401(k) Plan and Trust (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of Credit Acceptance Corporation 401(k) Plan and Trust as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The supplemental information in the accompanying schedule, Form 5500, Schedule H, Part IV, Line 4i-Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2014 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of Credit Acceptance Corporation 401(k) Plan and Trust’s financial statements. The supplemental information is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but include supplemental information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplementary information is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the basic financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information in the accompanying schedule, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental information referred to above is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION 401(k) PLAN AND TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following brief description of the Credit Acceptance Corporation (the “Company”, “Credit Acceptance”, “we”, “our”, “us”) 401(k) Plan and Trust (the “Plan”), provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

General – The Plan is a defined contribution plan available to all salaried and hourly employees who have at least 3 consecutive months of service with the Company and are age 18 or older. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).

Contributions – Participants can elect to contribute 1% to 75% of their gross eligible pay subject to the statutory limitation of $17,500 for the 2014 calendar year, except for participants eligible to make additional catch-up contributions of up to $5,500. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans (“Rollovers”). Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan includes an auto-enrollment provision whereby all newly eligible employees are automatically enrolled in the Plan unless they affirmatively elect not to participate in the Plan. The initial participant contribution percentage for all new employees automatically enrolled in the Plan is 6% of their eligible gross pay. We contribute a maximum of 3.5% of each participant’s eligible gross pay on a per pay period basis. We match contributions equal to 100% on the first 1% participants contribute and an additional 50% on the next 5% participants contribute. We may also make a discretionary profit sharing contribution as described in the Plan agreement. We did not make a discretionary profit sharing contribution during the year ended December 31, 2014.

Participant Accounts – Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and our matching contributions plus an allocation of discretionary contributions, if any, and Plan earnings and losses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined by the Plan. Participant accounts may also be charged with an allocation of certain administrative expenses. Allocations are based on the number of participants in the Plan, the value of participant account balances, or specific participant transactions, as defined.

Vesting – Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions and our matching contributions plus actual earnings thereon.

Notes Receivable from Participants – Subject to predefined conditions and terms, a participant may borrow from their fund accounts up to 50% of the participant’s vested fund balance, not to exceed $50,000. Notes receivable are secured by the balances in the participants’ accounts and bear interest rates from 3.25% to 8.50% for balances outstanding at December 31, 2014 and 2013. The interest rate is based on the prime rate (as published in the Wall Street Journal on the day the loan is initiated) plus 1%. The notes receivable from participants generally have a maximum repayment period of 5 years, except the maximum repayment period may be extended up to 10 years for the purchase of a principal residence. Principal and interest is paid ratably through bi-weekly or semi-monthly payroll deductions.

Payment of Benefits – Upon termination of service, death, disability, or retirement, a participant may elect to receive the value of the participant’s vested fund balance in either a lump-sum amount or in installment payments if certain criteria are met. All benefits requested before December 31, 2014 were paid prior to year end.

Administrative Expenses – Certain expenses of maintaining the Plan are paid by us. Transactional fees are charged directly to the respective participant’s account and are included in administrative expenses.

  1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation – The accompanying financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets available for benefits and the reported amounts of additions and deductions from assets available for benefits during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts – Investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. The Plan holds investment contracts through a pooled separate account. The Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the investment contracts from fair value to contract value. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis. Total adjustment from fair value to contract value for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts was $(18,422) and $(19,508) for December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The investment contract through the pooled separate account is reported at contract value in the financial statements, which represents contributions made to the account, plus earnings on the underlying investments, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. The earnings are provided by the yield on the investment contract (which is determined by the performance of the underlying investments). The interest rates may be reset not more frequently than daily and not less frequently than quarterly. The average yield and average crediting interest rates were 2.13% and 1.83%, respectively, based on an annualized rate derived from the daily interest factor applied on December 31, 2014. Interest is credited monthly to the account and is guaranteed to be not less than 0% before any deduction for expenses.

Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value. The investment contract through the pooled separate account has certain restrictions that impact the ability to collect the full contract value; for example, the Plan may not fully withdraw from the account without incurring a penalty, unless the Plan sponsor provides 12 months’ advance notice to the contract issuer. In the event that the investment contract is terminated by the Plan trustee or the Plan, without advance notice, a market adjustment penalty will apply. In addition, withdrawals initiated by the Plan sponsor for events including, but not limited to, total or partial plan termination, mergers, spin-offs, lay-offs, early retirement incentive programs, sales or closings, bankruptcy or receivership will be subject to the market rate adjustment to the extent they exceed a predetermined threshold (10% of the Plan’s investment in the pooled separate account). Any transfers out of the pooled separate account must first go through a non-competing investment option and reside there for at least 90 days before transfer to a competing investment option, such as fixed income funds including but not limited to, guaranteed investment contracts, money market funds, or short-term bonds. Additionally, there are no unfunded commitments to the pooled separate account for which the Plan sponsor is liable. The Plan sponsor believes that the occurrence of events that would cause the Plan to transact at less than contract value is not probable. The contract issuer may not terminate the investment contract at any amount less than contract value.

Valuation of Investments and Income Recognition – Investments are recorded at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. See Note 3 for additional information regarding fair value measurements. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.

Notes Receivable from Participants – Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of December 31, 2014 or 2013. If a participant ceases to make loan repayments and the plan administrator deems this participant loan to be in default, the participant loan balance is reduced and a benefit payment is recorded.

Payments of Benefits – Benefits are recorded when paid.

  1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Concluded)

New Accounting Updates – Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). In May 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-07 which amends Topic 820 (Fair Value Measurement). ASU No. 2015-07 removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value (“NAV”) per share practical expedient. ASU No. 2015-07 also removes the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the NAV per share practical expedient. Rather, those disclosures are limited to investments for which the entity has elected to measure the fair value using that practical expedient. ASU No. 2015-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Plan’s administrator is currently evaluating the impact that ASU No. 2015-07 will have on the Plan’s financial statement disclosures.

Subsequent Events – We have evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits date of December 31, 2014 for items that could potentially be recognized or disclosed in these financial statements. For additional information regarding subsequent events, see Note 10 to the financial statements.

  1. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. We group assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. A description of the investment assets measured at fair value using this methodology is as follows:

Mutual Funds:

Mutual funds are valued at the daily closing price as reported by the funds. Mutual funds held by the Plan are open-end mutual funds that are registered with the SEC. These funds are required to publish their daily NAV and to transact at that price. The mutual funds held by the Plan are deemed to be actively traded.

Credit Acceptance Stock Fund:

This fund includes our publicly traded common stock as well as a money market fund. Our common stock is valued at quoted prices available on the NASDAQ Global Select Market and the money market fund is valued based on quoted prices in active markets.

Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. A description of the investment assets measured at fair value using this methodology is as follows:

Pooled Separate Account:

The fair value of the pooled separate account is based on the NAV of the underlying investments, as reported to the Plan by the contract issuer. The NAV, as provided by the trustee, is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value. The pooled separate account is comprised of a portfolio of underlying securities that can be valued on active markets. Fair value of the contract is calculated by applying the Plan’s percentage ownership in the pooled separate account to the total net asset value of the account’s underlying securities.

Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. None of our investment assets were measured at fair value using this methodology.

CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION 401(k) PLAN AND TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONCLUDED)

  1. TAX STATUS

We use a non-standardized prototype plan document sponsored by the Plan trustee. The Plan trustee received an opinion letter from the IRS, dated March 31, 2008, which states that the non-standardized prototype plan document satisfies the applicable provisions of the Code. The Plan itself has not received a determination letter from the IRS. However, the Plan’s management believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code. Therefore, no provision for income tax has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.

GAAP requires plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2014, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of the liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions and the Plan could be subject to income tax if certain issues were found by the IRS that could result in the disqualification of the Plan’s tax-exempt status; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2011.

  1. RECONCILIATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO FORM 5500

The following is a reconciliation of net assets available for benefits per the financial statements as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 to Form 5500:

As of December 31, — 2014 2013
Net assets available for benefits per the financial statements $ 45,222,323 $ 39,881,479
Adjustments from contract value to fair value for interest in pooled separate account relating to a fully benefit-responsive investment contracts 18,422 19,508
Net assets available for benefits per the Form 5500 $ 45,240,745 $ 39,900,987

The following is a reconciliation of the net increase per the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 to Form 5500:

For the Year Ended December 31, 2014
Net increase per the financial statements $ 5,340,844
Add: Adjustments from contract value to fair value for interest in pooled separate account relating to a fully benefit-responsive investment contract at December 31, 2014 18,422
Less: Adjustments from contract value to fair value for interest in pooled separate account relating to a fully benefit-responsive investment contract at December 31, 2013 19,508
Net income per the Form 5500 $ 5,339,758

As discussed in Note 2, the plan invests in fully benefit-responsive investment contracts. For financial reporting purposes, the net assets available for benefits are recorded at contract value. Form 5500 records net assets available for benefits at fair value.

  1. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Plan invests in various investment securities, which in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balance and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.

  1. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 14, 2015, John Hancock Financial completed the acquisition of New York Life Retirement Plan Services business, including New York Life Trust Company, the Plan's trustee.
