Reprted differences may arise as a result f, amng ther things, differences in the mix and vintage f lans between the Trusts and the ttal prtfli, the use f beginning f mnth principal receivables balances t calculate charge-ff statistics in the Trusts cmpared t the use f average lan balances ver the reprting perid used in the ttal prtfli statistics, and the calculatin f the Trusts' net charge-ff rate annualized n a 30/360 day cunt basis, as cmpared t an actual/actual day cunt basis fr the ttal prtfli.
