ITEM 1 BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

Western Capital Resources, Inc. (“Western Capital Resources,” “the Company,” “we” or “us”) is a Minnesota corporation that maintains two operating segments: one provides short-term consumer loans, commonly referred to as cash advance or “payday” loans, and the other operates Cricket retail cellular wireless stores.

Payday operations are conducted under its wholly owned subsidiary Wyoming Financial Lenders, Inc. The Federal Trade Commission describes these loans as “small, short term high rate loans.” Our loans are offered and made in exchange for fees that, if treated as interest, are at a rate extraordinarily higher than prime and are made to individuals who do not typically qualify for prime rate loans. As a consequence, our loans may be considered a type of subprime loan. At December 31, 2009, we operated 55 payday lending stores in 10 states, including Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, Wisconsin and Wyoming. Our provision of payday loans is typically heavily regulated by the various states in which we operate, and our payday lending business is extremely susceptible to the adverse effects of any changes in federal or state laws and regulations that may further restrict or flatly prohibit payday lending.

Through our payday segment, we also provide ancillary consumer financial products and services that are complementary to our payday lending business, such as check-cashing services, money transfers and money orders. Our check-cashing services involve the cashing of checks for a fee; money-transfer services involve the transfer of money by wire for a fee; and our money-orders services involve the issuing of money orders for a fee. We believe these services are complementary since customers typically come to our stores for financial reasons and to procure financial services (i.e., obtain a loan). Once the loan has been obtained, a customer may, for instance, decide to wire a payment of money or obtain a money order to satisfy a debt or other obligation. Our loans and other services are subject to state regulations (which vary from state to state), and federal and local regulations, where applicable.

Our second segment operates retail stores selling Cricket cellular phones and accessories. We are a premier Cricket dealer. Cricket phones are prepaid cellular phones that function for a period of time, without usage limitations and without any long-term contract or commitment required from the consumer, for a flat fee. At the close of business on December 31, 2009 we owned and operated 33 Cricket wireless retail stores in seven states, including Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska and Texas. While there are state regulations that affect our provision of Cricket phone products and services, our Cricket phone business is not highly susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in federal or state laws and regulations.

Through this segment we also provide our guaranteed phone service, a home phone (land line) service. Revenues from our guaranteed phone sales are not significant and will be phased out in 2010.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, each of our major lines of business (i.e., payday lending, check-cashing services, sale of Cricket phone products, Cricket payment processing and other phone-related services) generated associated fees. In 2009, we generated approximately:

$10.70 million in payday lending fees representing approximately 58.4% of our total revenues,

$5.29 million in phone and accessory sales representing approximately 28.9% of our total revenues,

$.81 million in check-cashing fees representing approximately 4.4% of our total revenues, and

$1.51 million in other income and fees representing approximately 8.2% of our total revenues.

The table below summarizes our financial results and condition as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 (audited):

	December 31, 2009		December 31, 2008

PAYDAY LENDING BUSINESS

General Description

The short-term consumer loans we provide are commonly referred to as “cash advance loans” or “payday loans.” Such loans are referred to as “payday loans” because they are typically made to borrowers who have no available cash and promise to repay the loan out of their next paycheck. In some cases, these same types of loans are referred to as “deferred deposit advances” because the borrowers, instead of funding repayment of the loan out of a paycheck, promise to repay the loan with their next regular fixed-income payment, such as a social security check.

When we make cash advance or “payday” loans, we provide our customers with cash in exchange for a promissory note with a maturity of generally up to four weeks that is supported by that customer’s post-dated personal check for the aggregate amount of the loan, plus a fee. During 2009, we offered payday loans ranging from $10 to $1,300, with the average loan amount being approximately $314. Approximately 76.1% of our loan transactions are made for a period of up to four weeks and approximately 23.9% of our loan transactions involve loans whose initial maturity extends beyond four weeks. To repay the loans, customers may pay with cash, in which case their personal check is returned to them, or allow their personal check to be presented to their bank for collection.

The Payday Loan Process

Customers seeking to obtain a payday loan must:

complete a loan application

maintain a personal checking account

have a suitable source of income

have a valid driver’s license or other form of picture ID

not otherwise be in default on a loan from us where available

enter into a standard loan agreement and promissory note with us, and

deliver their personal post-dated check.

Our standard loan application with customers provides that we will not cash their check until the due date of the associated loan. A customer’s debt to us is satisfied by: (i) payment of the full amount owed in cash (at which point we return the customer’s personal check); or (ii) deposit of the customer’s check with the bank. Where permitted by state regulation, a customer may renew a loan after full payment in cash of the fee associated with the original loan. When applicable, a customer renewing a loan signs a new promissory note and provides us with a new check.

We require that a customer have and maintain a personal checking account for a number of reasons. First, we need to ascertain that the personal post-dated check we receive from that customer is written against a valid and existing checking account. Second, we review recent bank statements from the checking account for proof that the customer’s statements to us, and the representations made to us in the related loan agreement, relating to their employment and level of income are accurate. Third, we also review the recent bank statements for evidence of any returned checks. If an applicant had multiple returned checks on their recent bank statements, we are unlikely to extend a loan to that person.

Ordinarily, we deem items such as a recent pay stub, or a bank statement evidencing periodic deposits, as sufficient proof of current employment. We do not, however, independently verify that a borrowing customer is employed at the time of a loan. Furthermore, we do not require or request any information relating to whether a borrowing customer’s employment is on a full-time or part-time, or hourly or salaried, basis; nor do we otherwise make any independent verification regarding these kinds of employment-related facts. We make loans without proof of employment and without a recent bank statement only to repeat customers, who have not previously defaulted on loans we have made to them, in states that do not require those items as prerequisites for a loan. An employment income source is determined to be “suitable” if it appears to be valid from our review of the bank statements a borrower provides us, and any pay stubs they may also offer as evidentiary support for their employment. Generally, we do not advance a customer more than 25% of the monthly income that they appear to earn, based on our review of applicable documentation the customer provides to us. We apply this limitation to all of our customers and in all circumstances, including attempts to roll over loans, except for repeat customers who have had repaid all of their prior loans on time.

We do not undertake any formal or informal credit check of borrowers, or any review of their credit history in connection with a proposed loan transaction. When making a loan to a first-time customer, we obtain reports from a third-party vendor that summarizes recent credit requests, existing bad debt, and existing delinquencies. These reports are provided by Teletrack. If an applicant has a poor Teletrack report showing multiple recent credit requests or existing delinquencies, or more than one returned check on their recent bank statements, we are unlikely to extend a loan to that person. We do not order Teletrack reports for repeat customers.

As part of each lending transaction, we enter into a standardized written contract with the borrowing customer. The standardized contracts vary slightly based on differing state laws, but all of our standard contracts plainly state in simple terms the annual percentage rate (assuming the fees we charge are computed as interest) in compliance with Regulation Z, and the consequences of defaulting on the loan. We retain copies of our written contracts at the stores where the transactions are processed and also provide copies to our customers. Our standard documentation includes:

a promise to repay the loan and associated loan fee

an express right to prepay without penalty (but without return of any portion of the associated loan fee unless required by state law)

a statement that the borrower will pay an additional fee in the event that the post-dated check is returned for insufficient funds

the borrower’s right to rescind the transaction, without cost, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately following the date of the loan, by returning the borrowed amount and acknowledgment that the loan was rescinded

customary representations and warranties

a dispute-resolution clause under which the parties agree to submit any claims or controversies to binding arbitration

a notice of financial privacy rights

an affirmative check-the-box representation about whether the borrower is a member of the U.S. military, and

an acknowledgment that the borrower has read and understands the borrowing agreement.

Upon completion of a loan application, the provision of proof of an existing bank account, current income, a valid driver’s license or other acceptable photo identification, and signed loan agreement and our acceptance of such agreement, the loan approval process is complete. At that point, the customer signs a promissory note and provides us with a personal post-dated check for the principal loan amount plus a specified fee. All documentation is reviewed and payday loans are approved at the store level only, barring extraordinary circumstances. Nearly all of the loans we make are “payday loans” where the borrower provides us with a personal post-dated check. All checks are drawn upon the borrower’s bank. We do not accept third-party checks in connection with a payday lending transaction. We make very few “deferred deposit advance” loans, and we estimate that fewer than one percent of our total loans during 2009 were loans of this type. In part, this is because we require reasonable proof of current employment as a condition to obtaining a loan from us.

Beyond the steps described above, we do not make any independent determination of the ability of a potential borrower to repay the loans we make to them. Instead, we rely on a borrower’s representations to us and proof regarding their employment and ownership of an active bank account, our review of their recent bank statement, and our general policy that limits loans to no more than 25% of a borrower’s monthly income.

In general, our lending process and standards are extraordinarily different from those used by banks. To our knowledge, banks typically order and carefully review credit reports, engage in some level of analysis relating to the ability of a potential borrower to repay the loan, and will typically make independent verification of employment and earnings history through payroll deposits, phone calls, reviews of tax returns and other processes—all in an effort to minimize the risk of a loan default. As a result, we generally experience a higher default rate on our personal loans than banks do on their personal loans. At December 31, 2009, we had an aggregate of approximately:

$4.00 million in outstanding loan principal due to us

$.70 million in payday fees due to us

$1.41 million of late loans (customers’ repayment checks presented as NSF within the last 180 days

The Fees We Charge

The fee we charge for a payday loan varies from state to state, based on applicable regulations, and generally ranges from $15 to $22 for each whole or partial increment of $100 borrowed. We do not charge interest in connection with our loans. If, however, we calculate the loan fees we charge as an annual percentage rate of interest, such rate would range from 118% for a 31-day loan transacted in Wyoming (on the low end) to approximately 574% for a 14-day loan in Wisconsin (on the high end), with the average actual loan fees we charge involving an imputed annual percentage rate of approximately 364%. The term of a loan significantly affects the imputed APR of the fees we charge for our loans. For instance, when a $15 fee is charged for a two-week loan of $100, the resulting APR is 390%. When the same fee on $100 is charged for a four-week loan, the resulting APR is 195%. When our general range of loan fees is applied to our average 2009 loan amount of $314, the APR ranges from 391% to 574% for a two-week loan involving a $47.10 and $69.08 fee, respectively; and from 196% to 287% for a four-week loan involving a $47.10 and $69.08 fee, respectively. Currently, we do not charge the maximum fee permitted in all of the states where we operate. We do, however, charge a uniform fee for all transactions processed in any particular state that involve the same range of payday loan amounts and the same term.

The table below sets forth the uniform fees we charge and imputed APRs in the states where we operated during 2009:

State	Fees	APR (%) on a 14-day $100 Loan			APR (%) on a 28-day $100 Loan			APR (%) on a 14-day $300 Loan			APR (%) on a 28-day $300 Loan
Colorado	20% on first $300 advanced; $7.50 per $100 advanced (up to $500)		521	%		261	%		521	%		261	%
Iowa	$15 on first $85 advanced; 11.1% on additional amounts (up to $445)		435	%		217	%		338	%		169	%
Kansas	$15 per $100 advanced		391	%		196	%		391	%		196	%
Montana	23% per $100 advanced if greater than 16 days or 13% per $100 advanced if 16 days or less (max. fee of $61.62)		339	%		300	%		338	%		300	%
Nebraska	$17.50 per $100 advanced		456	%		228	%		456	%		228	%
North Dakota	$20 per $100 advanced		521	%		261	%		521	%		261	%
South Dakota	$20 per $100 advanced		521	%		261	%		521	%		261	%
Utah	$20 per $100 advanced		521	%		261	%		521	%		261	%
Wisconsin	$22 per $100 advanced		574	%		287	%		574	%		287	%
Wyoming	30% per $100 advanced if loan is less than $150 or 20% per $100 advanced if loan is equal to or greater than $150 (subject to numerous maximums)		521	%		391	%		261	%		261	%

Of the 10 states in which we presently operate, three states (South Dakota, Utah and Wisconsin) do not limit the fees we may charge, or the term (i.e., the length) of the loans we may offer, our customers. In addition, two of these states (Utah and Wisconsin) do not limit the amount we may loan to customers in a payday lending transaction. In South Dakota, we offer loans from $20 to $500, charge $20 for each whole or partial increment of $100 that we loan, and offer loan terms from one to 31 days. Our 2009 revenue derived from South Dakota amounted to 6.0% of our total 2009 payday division revenue. In Utah, we offer loans from $30 to $1,200, charge $20 for each whole or partial increment of $100 that we loan, and offer loan terms from one to 31 days. Our 2009 revenue derived from Utah amounted to 8.15% of our total 2009 payday division revenue. In Wisconsin, we offer loans from $20 to $500, charge $22 for each whole or partial increment of $100 that we loan, and offer loan terms from one to 36 days. Our 2009 revenue derived from Wisconsin amounted to 7.13% of our total 2009 payday division revenue.

Currently, 15 states have laws limiting the amount of fees that may be charged in connection with any lending transaction (including payday lending transactions) when calculated as an annual percentage rate or the payday lending is expressly prohibited. These limitations, combined with other limitations and restrictions, effectively prohibit us from utilizing our present business model for cash advance or “payday” lending in those jurisdictions. In addition, the federal government passed the “2007 Military Authorization Act” which prohibits lenders from offering or making payday loans (or similar lending transactions) to members of the U.S. military when the interest or fees calculated as an annual percentage rate, exceed 36%. Like the state limitations discussed above, this limitation effectively prohibits us from utilizing our present business model for cash advance or “payday” lending when dealing with members of the U.S. military. As a result of these restrictions, we do not and do not plan to conduct business in these state jurisdictions or with U.S. military personnel.

The above-described fees are the only fees we assess and collect from our customers for our loans. Nevertheless, we also charge a flat fee that ranges from $15 to $30 (depending on the state) for returned checks in the event that a post-dated check we attempt to cash as repayment for our loan is returned. In 2009, we had approximately 8,425 checks returned that were assessed a fee, compared to approximately 10,167 such checks during 2008. In 2009, we collected approximately 32.97% of the returned check fees for these bad checks, for a total of approximately $54,800. In 2008, we collected approximately 36.07% of these returned check fees, for a total of approximately $72,940.

Extensions or “Rollovers” of Payday Loans

In addition, when a customer “rolls over” or extends the term of an outstanding loan, we treat that rollover or extension as a brand new loan and we again charge the above-described loan fee for that transaction. This rollover has no effect on the imputed annual percentage rate of the loan in those cases where the extended term is equal to the initial term of the loan. For example, a $100 four-week loan that costs $20 to obtain is the APR equivalent of 261%. If a customer extends the term of that loan for an additional four-week period, the customer will have paid $40 total in fees to obtain the $100 eight-week loan—which is again the APR equivalent of 261%. In cases where a customer (1) extends or rolls over a loan for a length of time that is less than the original loan or (2) repays the extended loan prior to the expiration of the fully extended term, the imputed APR will increase. For example, if a customer who obtained an initial $100 four-week loan for $20 in loan fees (the APR equivalent of 261%) later extends the term of that loan for only two additional weeks and pays the additional $20 loan fee, that customer will have borrowed $100 for a six-week period at a total cost of $40—which is the APR equivalent of 347%. We do not charge any interest on the unpaid fee from the initial term of the loan because, as a condition to agreeing to a loan extension, we will only accept cash payment of the fee for extending the loan. In 2009, 13.65% of our total loan fee revenues were derived from loan fees charged and collected upon the extension or rollover of payday loans.

Most states prohibit payday lenders from extending or refinancing a payday loan. Nevertheless, five states in which we presently operate—Colorado, South Dakota, North Dakota, Utah and Wisconsin—do permit a loan to be extended or “rolled over” for a specified period. Specifically, Colorado and North Dakota permit only one loan extension; South Dakota permits up to four loan extensions; and Utah and Wisconsin have no limit on the number of loan extensions. In the aggregate, we extended approximately 14.7% of all our total loans made during 2009. Of the total payday loans we made during 2009 that were eventually extended, the average number of times they were extended was approximately 2.3 times.

The table below sets forth the minimum and maximum payday loans we approve, the maximum fee we charge, the maximum term of the payday loan and whether an extension/rollover is permitted in the state were we operate.

State	Minimum Loan	Maximum Loan	Maximum Fee	Maximum Term	Extension/Rollover Permitted
Colorado	No minimum	$500	20% of first $300; 7.5% thereafter	40 days	Yes
Iowa	No minimum	$500	$5+10% of first $100*; 10% thereafter	31 days	No
Kansas	No minimum	$500	$15 per $100	30 days	Not prohibited
Montana	$50	$300	25%	31 days	No
Nebraska	No minimum	$500	15%* per $100	31 days	No
North Dakota	No minimum	$600	20%	60 days	Yes
South Dakota	No minimum	$500	No limit	No limit	Yes
Utah	No minimum	No limit	No limit	84 days	No
Wisconsin	No minimum	No limit	No limit	No limit	Yes
Wyoming	No minimum	No limit	20%	30 days	No

* Denotes that the applicable percentage is calculated on the loan amount plus any finance charges.

Multiple Loans to Single Customers

We occasionally make multiple loans to a single customer if permitted by applicable law and regulations. Based on our outstanding loans as of December 31, 2009, approximately 6.5% of our customers had more than one loan outstanding. In these cases, the average number of separate loans outstanding was 2.11 and the average aggregate principal amount loaned was approximately $550.

Risks Associated With Our Loans—Default and Collection

Ordinarily, our customers approach us for a loan because they currently have insufficient funds to meet their present obligations, and so rarely if ever do our customers have sufficient funds in their checking accounts to cover the personal post-dated checks they provide us at the time of the loan transaction. The nature of our payday loan transactions present a number of risks, including the ultimate risk that the loan will not be paid back. In addition, we do not obtain security for our payday loans principally because, even assuming our customers would have potential collateral to offer as security for a payday loan, the small size of each particular lending transaction does not justify the time, effort and expense of identifying the collateral and properly obtaining a security interest in such collateral. As a consequence, all of our payday loans are unsecured. This means that, absent court or other legal action compelling a customer to repay our loans, we rely principally on the willingness and ability of our customers to repay amounts they owe us. In this regard, in many cases the costs of merely attempting to collect the amounts owed to us exceed the amounts we would seek to collect—making it impractical to take formal legal action against a defaulted borrower.

When a customer defaults on a loan, we engage in store-level collection practices that include attempts to contact the customer and obtain payment, and attempts to contact the customer’s bank in order to determine whether funds are available to satisfy their personal post-dated check. If funds are available, we present the check to the bank for repayment and an official check from the bank is obtained to pay off the item. The costs involved in these initial collection efforts are minimal as they involve some employee time and possibly a flat $15-30 bank fee to cover the cost of the cashier’s check. If funds are not available, we generally attempt to collect returned checks for up to 90 days, principally through continued attempts to contact the customer. If our attempts remain unsuccessful after 90 days, we assign the item to a collection agency. Assignment to a collection agency may cost us 30-40% of the amount eventually collected (if any) from the customer. Ordinarily, we do not recoup any costs of collection from our customers.

Historically, we collect approximately 55% of all returned checks, which results in approximately 2.81% of our total payday loans being uncollectible. In 2009, we made approximately 200,815 loan transactions, of which approximately:

79.4% were paid in full at or prior to the expiration of the original loan term, accounting for approximately 78.6% of our loan fee revenues

14.9% were refinanced, extended, renewed or otherwise paid after the expiration of their original loan term, accounting for approximately 15.2% of our loan fee revenues, and

5.7% involved a personal post-dated check that was returned for insufficient funds.

Marketing Strategy

Our advertising and marketing efforts are designed to introduce customers to our services, build customer loyalty and generate repeat visits and transactions. Our principal means of advertising our payday lending and Cricket wireless cellular services consists of promotional materials and Yellow Page directories used in our active markets. Our Cricket locations are also listed on the Cricket Wireless website and are searchable by address, city or zip code.

Industry Information

There are an estimated 22,000 cash advance loan stores in the United States, which in the aggregate provide approximately $40 billion in short-term credit to households experiencing cash-flow shortfalls. Presently, there are 35 states that expressly permit or do not expressly prohibit payday lending. Industry trends indicate that there is likely to be a net decrease in total payday lending stores over the next few years due to store closings resulting from a combination of regulatory changes (e.g., a recent federal law prohibits payday lending to members of the U.S. military), a slowdown in new store growth and general economic conditions.

According to the Community Financial Services Association of America (CFSA), payday loan customers typically are middle-income or lower-middle-income, middle-educated individuals who are a part of a young family (See Community Financial Services Association of America, citing to The Credit Research Center, McDonough School of Business, Georgetown University, Gregory Elliehausen and Edward C. Lawrence, “Payday Advance Credit in America: An Analysis of Customer Demand”). The CFSA is a lobbying organization for the payday loan industry. The Credit Research Center study cited by the CFSA was based upon telephone interviews of 427 borrowers of payday loans in 2000 and 2001, and the answers provided in those interviews by the borrowers were not independently verified by the study’s authors. Moreover, the authors of that study note that, of the 5,364 payday loan consumers whom they attempted to contact and interview for the study, 1,113 were not able to be reached because their phones had been disconnected and another 1,043 refused to be interviewed or else quit the interview prior to completion. We do not possess independent information that corroborates the findings of The Credit Research Center, and we do not collect demographic data about our customers.

The Consumer Federation of America (CFA), a nonprofit consumer advocacy organization, has submitted written comments to the Federal Trade Commission that make assertions very different from those proponed by the CFSA. For example, the CFA asserts that “payday loan borrowers are typically female, make around $25,000 a year, are renters, and more likely to be minorities than the general population. Payday lenders have clustered around military bases, in low to moderate income neighborhoods, and in predominantly minority areas.” (See Comments To the Federal Trade Commission Regarding the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Collecting Consumer Debts: The Challenges of Change By the Consumer Federation of America, June 20, 2007). The CFA presently does not make available to the public the research data to support its claims, and as a consequence we are unable to evaluate their accuracy.

Predatory Lending and Regulatory Concerns

In general, the payday lending suffers from the perception and widespread belief that payday lenders are in the nature of predatory lenders, offering loans to low income and poorly educated consumers at costs that are too high to be good for consumers. This perception and belief results in frequent efforts in the U.S. Congress and various state legislatures, often proponed by consumer advocacy groups and lobbyists for traditional financial institutions such as banks, to further regulate and restrict or outrightly prohibit payday lending. For example, the federal government recently passed the 2007 Military Authorization Act which prohibits any persons from offering or making loans to members of the military when the interest and loan fees, calculated as an annual percentage rate, exceed 36%. This limitation effectively prohibits payday lenders from making payday loans to members of the U.S. military. Moreover, a bill was introduced before the U.S. Senate in July 2008, entitled the “Protecting Consumers from Unreasonable Credit Rates Act of 2008” (an amendment to the Truth in Lending Act), proposing to set a maximum actual or imputed interest rate of 36% on all extensions of credit of any type anywhere in the United States. The bill is intended to limit the charges and fees payable in connection with payday lending. Presently, the bill is in the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. The Company has no further information regarding the bill at this time. The passage of this bill into law would essentially prohibit the Company from conducting its payday lending business in its current form, and would certainly have a highly material and adverse effect on the Company, its operating results, financial condition and prospects—including its very viability. For more information, please see “Risk Factors” below.

We do not believe the payday lending is predatory, nor do we believe that our loans are too costly for consumers if they are judiciously obtained. In fact, we believe that bank overdraft fees by themselves are typically far more costly for consumers, and bouncing a check can often involve other negative consequences such as independent fees levied by the parties to whom a bad check is written, negative publicity, etc. In this regard, the FDIC released a November 2008 report called “Study of Bank Overdraft Programs.” The report indicates that the average amount obtained when bank customers overdraw their accounts is $60, and the average overdraft fee charged by the bank is $27. This equates to an APR of 1,173% and 585% for a two-week and four-week $60 bank “loan,” respectively. In sum, we believe that many of the bad perceptions about our industry are fueled primarily by:

the effects of our loans on consumers who do not judiciously obtain payday loans

a lack of genuine understanding about the choices faced by low and middle-income people facing a critical cash shortage, and

anti-payday lending lobbying campaigns often funded by traditional financial institutions, such as banks and credit unions, that would economically benefit from the elimination of payday lending.

In February 2009, Congress introduced H.R. 1214 (the Payday Loan Reform Act of 2009) as an amendment to the Truth in Lending Act. If enacted, this amendment would restrict charges for a single-payment loan to a 391% effective annual rate, or $15 per $100 for a two-week loan, prohibit loan rollovers, limit borrowers to one outstanding loan at a time and permit only one extended repayment plan every six months.

Finally, we have become aware of continued aggressive enforcement and prosecution by the Federal Trade Commission against payday lenders using unfair and abusive lending practices in violation of the Truth in Lending Act and Regulation Z, including failures to properly disclose loan terms and imputed APRs. In particular, we believe that FTC regulators are expanding theories relating to “fair and adequate” disclosure loan terms. This focus includes marketing and advertising materials (specifically, the layout and presentation of such materials), and specific practices, that may detract attention from or diminish the prominence of disclosures relating to loan terms, and the costs and risks involved with payday loans. Moreover, it has come to our attention that FTC regulators are more keenly scrutinizing whether payday lending business practices match advertised claims. While we do not presently anticipate any adverse regulatory issues or outcomes relating to our business, it is possible that one or more of our store locations could come under FTC scrutiny and that any such scrutiny could negatively affect store performance and consumer considerable time and attention of our management.

Seasonality

We have experienced seasonality in our payday lending operations, with the first and fourth quarters typically being our strongest periods as a result of broader economic factors, such as holiday spending habits at the end of each year and income tax refunds during the first quarter.

Effect of General Economic Conditions on our Payday Lending Business

We believe that consumer demand for our payday lending services is increasing given the depth and duration of the present crises in the credit markets and financial services industry; however, the significant rise in unemployment levels has reduced the pool of payday loan consumers that can meet all of our loan qualifications, particularly the employment requirement. In addition, it seems likely that the continued economic situation and higher unemployment rates could result in greater loan losses than we experienced in 2009 with unemployment rates expected to remain high for the foreseeable future. Our business experienced fluctuating changes in our provision for loan losses in recent years. For instance, our provision for loan losses totaled $1.55 million for 2009, a decrease of $.33 million from our provision of, $1.88 million for 2008, and an increase of $.07 million from our 2007 provision of $1.48 million. Our provision for loan losses as a percentage of loan fee revenue was 14.5% for 2009, 18.5% during 2008 and 16.3% during 2007. The less favorable loss ratio in 2008 reflected in part a more challenging collections environment as a result of an increase in bankruptcy filings, higher energy prices and increased competition in the lending industry. We believe that as the country moves out of this recession and into recovery, our consumer base will increase as individuals are denied credit by traditional lenders because of recent unemployment or liquidity issues. Due to our inability to foretell the depth and duration of the present economic downturn, we believe there are currently uncertainties in how significant any increased loan losses for 2010 may be.

The credit available within our industry has been negatively impacted by the current economic situation and negative perception of funding payday lending operations. Future growth in our payday lending business beyond reinvestment of our current profits may be limited due to the tighter credit markets. Furthermore, we anticipate that the present condition of the financial markets and increased regulation related to payday lending currently under consideration at the federal level may make it more difficult for us to borrow money to fund the expansion of our operations through acquisitions.

CRICKET PHONE BUSINESS

General Description

We are an authorized dealer of Cricket Wireless products and services and operate Cricket retail stores in Nebraska, Missouri, Texas, Kansas, Illinois, Indiana and Maryland. Although Cricket Wireless owns a number of corporate stores, Cricket Wireless is partnering with dealers in order to reach their market-penetration goals. Authorized dealers are permitted to sell the Cricket line and generally locate their store operations in areas with a strong potential customer base where Cricket does not maintain a corporate storefront. These locations are generally within the urban core or surrounding areas of a community. We are an authorized premier Cricket dealer, and as such, we are only permitted to sell the Cricket line of prepaid cellular phones at our Cricket retail stores. In addition, each store we operate must resemble a Cricket corporate store. Once we identify an area to locate a new store, we contact Cricket Wireless to obtain approval. Once Cricket Wireless approves our recommended location, we establish the storefront. Cricket Wireless provides assistance with exterior signage cost, marketing funds for the launch and premier kits for display.

We profit in this business through retail sales of cellular phones used with Cricket services, sales of phone accessories (e.g., face plates and phone chargers), fees charged when a customer changes services (service reactivations, adding lines, plan changes, etc), or whenever a customer pays his or her Cricket invoice at one of our store locations.

We bear no risk of non-payment because of the prepaid nature of the service and because Leap Wireless Communications provides the cell phone services. Service automatically terminates upon nonpayment, which is midnight of the date on which the payment is due if the account remains unpaid. If a customer pays their service charge within 60 days of termination, the service is reinitiated and the phone number remains unchanged. After 60 days, a customer is deemed to be a new customer and a new phone number is assigned.

Market Information and Marketing

At December 31, 2009, Cricket cellular phone service was offered in 35 states and had approximately 4.65 million customers. Leap Wireless Communications, Inc., a Delaware public reporting corporation and the owner of Cricket Wireless, plans to expand its network footprint by launching Cricket service in new markets and increasing and enhancing coverage in our existing markets. Cricket Wireless service offers customers unlimited wireless voice and broadband data services for a flat monthly rate. In addition, our retail stores offer Cricket PAYGo™ services, which is an unlimited prepaid wireless service, in select markets. Cricket PAYGo is a daily pay-as-you-go wireless and text messaging service designed for customers who prefer the flexibility and control offered by traditional prepaid services but who are seeking greater value for their dollar.

Cricket products and services are primarily targeted to market segments that are underserved by traditional communications companies. Based on disclosures made by Leap Wireless Communications, Cricket customers tend to be younger, have lower incomes and include a greater percentage of ethnic minorities. Cricket services are designed to appeal to customers who value unlimited wireless services with predictable billing and who use the majority of those wireless services from within Cricket service areas. In contrast, the majority of wireless customers in the U.S. subscribe to post-pay services that may require credit approval and a contractual commitment from the subscriber for a period of at least one year and may include overage charges for call volumes in excess of a specified maximum. Like Leap Wireless Communications, we believe that a significant portion of the remaining growth potential in the U.S. wireless market consists of customers who are price-sensitive, who have lower credit scores or who prefer not to enter into fixed-term contracts. We believe that our authorized Cricket store business directly caters and appeals strongly to these customer segments.

We expect that consumers may wish to prepay their phone service or purchase prepaid cellular/Cricket phones:

to avoid costly phone purchase and long-term and expensive service contracts with wireless carriers

because poor credit histories may prevent them from successfully obtaining a service contract with a wireless carrier, or

due to a short-term need and circumstances in which they expect to engage in heavy usage of phones, and so they wish to pay a flat fee for a period of time instead of risking additional per-minute charges on their phone usage.

Nevertheless, we do not formally query our customers who purchase our phone products or services as to their motivations in purchasing those products or services, and we do not have customer data indicating the extent to which our phone customers cannot obtain a service contract from a long-term contract carrier of phone service or some other phone service provider.

Market Strategy

We believe that our business model is scalable and can be expanded successfully into adjacent and new markets as we continue to perfect our operational protocols and our administrative office functions relating to our Cricket business. We are looking to acquire additional Cricket dealerships in the midwest and launch additional stores in new Cricket markets that are currently underserved by competing service providers.

Products and Services

Our authorized Cricket retail stores offer the following products and services:

Cricket Wireless service plans, each designed to attract customers by offering simple, predictable and affordable wireless voice and data services that are a competitive alternative to traditional wireless and wireline services by offering plans with a flat-rate and unlimited usage within Cricket service areas, and without requiring fixed-term contracts, early termination fees or credit checks

Cricket Wireless plan upgrades (e.g., international calling minutes to Canada and/or Mexico; roaming service packages, text messages) and applications (including customized ring tones, wallpapers, photos, greeting cards, games and news and entertainment message deliveries) on a prepaid basis

Cricket handsets

Cricket broadband service affording customers unlimited wireless access to the Internet through their computers at a flat rate with no long-term commitments or credit checks, and

Cricket PAYGo service, an unlimited prepaid (daily pay-as-you-go) wireless and text messaging service available in select markets.

The payment options for Cricket customers include:

point of activation, which can be either through automatic charge against a debit or credit card on bill cycle due date

check payment by mail

payment at any corporate Cricket store, dealer location or alternative payment locations (e.g., a local grocery store), and

payment by telephone using a credit or debit card.

Customers also have an option on the purchase of their cellular phone. The customer can either purchase a new phone from us or purchase a used phone from a previous customer. All phones must be paid for in full because there is no contract for the monthly prepaid service. Phones range in price from $20 (with limited features) to high-end telephones at $200.

Seasonality

Our customer activity is influenced by seasonal effects related to traditional retail selling periods and other factors that arise from our target customer base. We generally expect new sales activity to be highest in the first and fourth quarters. Nevertheless, our revenues can be strongly affected by the launch of new markets, promotional activity and competitive actions, any of which have the ability to reduce or outweigh certain seasonal effects.

REGULATION

We are subject to regulation by federal, state and local governments that affect the products and services we provide. Generally, these regulations are designed to protect consumers who deal with us and are not designed to protect our shareholders.

Regulation of Payday Lending

In those states where we currently operate, we are licensed as a payday lender where required and are subject to various state regulations regarding the terms and conditions of our payday loans and our lending policies, procedures and operations. In some states, payday lending is referred to as “deferred presentment,” “cash advance loans” or “deferred deposit loans” or “consumer installment loans.” State regulations normally limit the amount that we may lend to any single consumer and may limit the number of loans that we may make to any consumer at one time, or in the course of a single year. State regulations also limit the amount of fees that we may assess in connection with any loan transaction and may limit a customer’s ability to extend or “rollover” a loan with us. Often, state regulations also specify minimum and maximum maturity dates for payday loans and, in some cases, specify mandatory cooling-off periods between transactions.

Our payday lending practices must also comply with the disclosure requirements of the Federal Truth-In-Lending Act and Regulation Z under that Act. Our collection activities for delinquent loans are generally subject to consumer protection laws regulating debt-collection practices. Finally, our payday lending business subjects us to the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

During the last few years, legislation has been introduced in the U.S. Congress and in certain state legislatures proposing various restrictions or an outright prohibition on payday lending. Currently, state laws in Oregon and Georgia have effectively eliminated the ability to conduct payday lending activities in those states, and payday lending will be prohibited in Arizona in July 2010. In addition, a 2007 federal law prohibits loans of any type to U.S. military personnel and their family members with charges or interest in excess of 36% per annum. Finally, Congress has pending legislation to amend the Truth in Lending Act that, if passed, would impose severe restrictions on the imputed APR calculations on loan fees, the number of outstanding loans to the same consumer, rollovers and extended repayment plans.

Financial Reporting Regulation

Regulations promulgated by the United States Department of the Treasury under the Bank Secrecy Act require us to report all transactions involving currency in an amount greater than $10,000. Generally, every financial institution must report each deposit, withdrawal, exchange of currency or other payment or transfer that involves an amount greater than $10,000. In addition, multiple currency transactions must be treated as a single transaction if we have knowledge that the transactions are by or on behalf of any one person and result, in a single business day, in the transfer of cash in or out totaling more than $10,000. In addition, the regulations require us to maintain information concerning sales of monetary instruments for cash in amounts from $3,000 to $10,000. The Bank Secrecy Act requires us, under certain circumstances, to file a suspicious activity report.

The Money Laundering Act of 1994 requires us, as a money service business, to register with the United States Department of the Treasury. Money services businesses include check cashers and sellers of money orders. Money services businesses must renew their registrations every two years, maintain a list of their agents, update the agent list annually, and make the agent list available for examination.

Finally, we have established various procedures designed to comply, and we continue to monitor and evaluate our business methods and procedures to ensure compliance, with the USA PATRIOT Act.

Privacy Regulation

We are subject to a variety of federal and state laws and regulations restricting the use and seeking to protect the confidentiality of customer identity and other personal nonpublic customer information. We have identified our systems that capture and maintain nonpublic personal information, as that term is understood under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and associated regulations. We disclose our public information policies to our customers as required by that law. We also have systems in place intended to safeguard this information as required by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which specifically governs certain aspects of our payday lending business.

COMPETITION

Like most other payday lenders, we believe that the primary competitive factors in our business are location and customer service. We face intense competition in an industry with relatively low barriers to entry, and we believe that the payday lending markets are becoming more competitive as the industry matures and consolidates. We compete with other payday lending and check cashing stores, and with financial service entities and retail businesses that offer payday loans or similar financial services. For example, we consider credit card companies that offer payday features, credit unions, banks that offer small loans, and creditors and loan services that can extend payment terms an outstanding loans, to be our competitors. In addition, we compete in part with services offered by traditional financial institutions, most particularly with respect to the “overdraft protection” services those institutions may offer and the charges they levy for checks written with insufficient funds.

Additional areas of competition have recently arisen. Businesses now offer loans over the internet as well as “loans by phone,” and these services have begun to compete with the services we offer. There also has been increasing penetration of electronic banking and related services into the check cashing and money transfer industry, including direct deposit of payroll checks, payroll cards, stored-value cards and electronic transfer of government benefits.

We also believe that customer service is critical to developing loyalty. In our industry, we believe that quality customer service means:

assisting with the loan application process and understanding the loan terms,

treating customers respectfully, and

processing transactions with accuracy, efficiency and speed.

Our Cricket store business competes primarily with other actual or potential authorized sellers and distributors of Cricket products and services. The authorization to sell Cricket products and services is granted by Cricket Communications, a Delaware corporation (sometimes referred to as “Cricket Wireless, Inc.”) and wholly owned subsidiary of Leap Wireless International, Inc. Presently, we believe that our ability to compete with other would-be sellers of Cricket products and services will materially depend on the success with which we operate those store locations for which we presently have a license to operate. If we successfully manage those stores and are able to develop and maintain a strong working relationship with Cricket Communications, we expect that we may be able to effectively compete for additional store locations when and as they come available.

With the introduction of Straight Talk service by Walmart in October 2009 and Cricket PAYGo™ services into Target stores in November 2009, it is possible that current and potential new customers will purchase these or other future competing services from these national resellers because of brand recognition, location or convenience, any of which would negatively impact our sales and our ability to win authorizations for new locations to grow our Cricket business. In addition, it is possible that Cricket Communications may itself, at some point in the future, determine to become more involved in the direct operation of its retail stores and move away from an authorized distributor business model. In any such event, our ability to maintain and grow our Cricket business will be negatively impacted.

TECHNOLOGY AND INFORMATION

We maintain an integrated system of software applications and platforms for processing the various types of financial transactions we offer. These systems provide us with customer service, internal control mechanisms, record-keeping and reporting information. We have one point-of-sale system used by all of our payday store locations. On a daily basis, transaction data is collected and integrated into our management information systems. These systems are designed to provide summary, detailed and exception information to regional, area and store managers as well as corporate staff. We utilize a point-of-sale system designed to collect customer information that can be utilized for demographic analysis, as well as the financial tracking of purchases, returns and Cricket service payments.

SECURITY

We believe the principal security risks to our operations are robbery and employee theft. We have established extensive security systems, dedicated security personnel and management information systems to address both areas of potential loss. To protect against robbery, most payday lending store employees work behind bullet-resistant glass and steel partitions, and the back office, safe and computer areas are locked and closed to customers. Our security measures in most payday lending and Cricket stores include safes, electronic alarm systems monitored by third parties, control over entry to customer service representative and inventory areas, detection of entry through perimeter openings, walls and ceilings and the tracking of all employee movement in and out of secured areas. Employees use cellular phones to ensure safety and security whenever they are outside secured areas. Additional security measures used in many stores include some combination of alarm systems, remote control over alarm systems, the arming, disarming and changing of user codes, and mechanically and electronically controlled time-delay safes.

Since we have high volumes of cash and negotiable instruments at our stores and inventory volumes at our Cricket stores, we believe that daily monitoring, unannounced audits and immediate responses to irregularities are critical to security and play an important role in our internal controls. Our regional managers perform weekly unannounced store audits and cash counts at our stores as well as random inventory counts of cellular phones and accessories. We self-insure for employee theft and dishonesty at the store level.

EMPLOYEES

At December 31, 2009, we had approximately 208 employees, consisting of 192 store personnel (111 of whom were employed at payday loan stores and 81 of which were employed at Cricket retail stores), two Guaranteed Phone employees, ten corporate office employees and four corporate office managers. We believe our relationship with our employees is good, and we have not suffered any work stoppages or labor disputes. We do not have any employees that operate under collective-bargaining agreements.

CORPORATE INFORMATION

General

Our principal offices are located at 11550 “I” Street, Suite 150, Omaha, Nebraska 68137, and our telephone number at that office is (402) 551-8888.

Western Capital Resources, Inc. was originally incorporated and organized as a Minnesota corporation under the name URON Inc. in November 2001. From its incorporation until August 2006, URON was wholly owned by Multiband Corporation, a Minnesota corporation. Multiband spun off URON to Multiband’s shareholders in August 2006. In connection with this spin-off transaction, URON filed a Form 10-SB registration with the SEC and Multiband distributed an information statement to its shareholders. In the spin-off transaction, Multiband distributed to its shareholders approximately 49% of the issued and outstanding shares of URON common stock, and retained for itself ownership of approximately 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of URON common stock. The spin-off dividend was effected on August 10, 2006 for shareholders of record of Multiband common stock as of May 1, 2006. On August 11, 2006, Multiband sold its remaining approximate 51% interest in URON Inc. to Lantern Advisers, LLC for $75,000 in cash.

URON’s principal business was the provision of dial-up internet service to residential and commercial customers, principally in the midwestern United States, Texas, South Carolina and Florida. URON’s customers paid a monthly recurring fee for such services. In December 2007, we engaged in a merger transaction with Wyoming Financial Lenders, Inc., a Wyoming corporation. Further information about the reverse merger transaction is set forth below. At the time of the Merger, URON had no full-time employees involved in the business of providing internet service. Instead, URON utilized billing and customer service personnel from its former parent company, Multiband Corporation pursuant to a written agreement between URON and Multiband. In July 2008, we changed our corporate name from URON Inc. to “Western Capital Resources, Inc.”

The Company’s year ends December 31, 2009. Neither the Company nor any of its predecessors have been in bankruptcy, receivership or any similar proceeding.

Reverse Merger Transaction

Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated December 13, 2007 (referred to throughout this report as the “Merger Agreement”), by and among URON Inc. (the Company), WFL Acquisition Corp. (a Wyoming corporation and then our wholly owned subsidiary), and Wyoming Financial Lenders, Inc., a Wyoming corporation, WFL Acquisition Corp. merged with and into Wyoming Financial Lenders with Wyoming Financial Lenders remaining as the surviving entity and our wholly owned operating subsidiary. This transaction is referred to throughout this report as the “Merger.” The Merger became effective as of the close of business on December 31, 2007.

At the effective time of the Merger, the legal existence of WFL Acquisition Corp. ceased and all shares of capital stock of Wyoming Financial Lenders that were outstanding immediately prior to the Merger were cancelled, with one share of common stock of such corporation issued to the Company. Simultaneously, WERCS, a Wyoming corporation and the former sole holder of capital stock of Wyoming Financial Lenders, Inc., received:

1,125,000 shares of our common stock, representing approximately 17.9% of our common stock outstanding immediately after the Merger, and

10,000,000 shares of our newly created preferred stock, designated as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock,” which was then and presently remains convertible into our common stock on a share-for-share basis, subject to adjustment.

On an aggregate and as-if-converted basis, WERCS received and held 11,125,000 common shares representing approximately 63.3% of our common stock immediately after the Merger. In addition, WERCS received a cash payment of $278,845 in return of capital in connection with the Merger.

Each share of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has a stated value of $2.10. Upon any event resulting in our liquidation, each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock would be entitled to receive $2.10 per preferred share, plus accrued but unpaid dividends. Dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock accrue at the per annum rate of 10%, and are payable in cash (subject to the option of the holder to receive shares of common stock in lieu of cash). Based on the foregoing, the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued in the Merger had, and presently still have, an aggregate liquidation value of $21 million. We believe that the liquidation value of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock approximated the fair value of such stock on the date of issuance. The shares of our common stock issued in the Merger had an approximate aggregate value of $1.35 million, based on a $1.20 per share valuation for such shares—the same per share price at which 3,331,669 shares were sold in a private placement that closed on the same date as the Merger. Accordingly, and after considering the return of capital payment issued to WERCS in connection with the Merger, the total consideration issued to WERCS in the Merger aggregated approximately $22.6 million.

We engaged in the Merger in order to acquire the business of Wyoming Financial Lenders, Inc., having met with the management of that company and investigated its business. Prior to the Merger, our business consisted of providing dial-up internet service to residential and commercial customers, principally in the midwestern United States, Texas, South Carolina and Florida. Because of the proliferation of more advanced and attractive alternatives to dial-up modems for accessing the Internet, URON’s business was rapidly dwindling for a period of time prior to the Merger and its operations were deemed insignificant enough to have the Company classified as a “shell company” under applicable SEC rules.

The Merger resulted in the change of control of the Company and a change in our Board of Directors. In that change of control, and as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, WERCS, the former owner of Wyoming Financial Lenders, became our controlling shareholder (beneficially owning, immediately after the Merger, approximately 63.3% of our common stock) and the sole director serving on our Board of Directors prior to the Merger resigned immediately after approving an increase in the number of directors comprising the Board of Directors, and appointing five new directors at the effective time of the Merger. Nevertheless, certain management-level appointments were made several weeks prior to the Merger. For instance, at the time of the Merger our Chief Operating Officer (Mr. John Quandahl) was the Chief Operating Officer of Wyoming Financial Lenders. Our executive management was changed on November 29, 2007, in anticipation of the Merger. At that time, it was the determination of the URON Board of Directors that, since a letter of intent had already been entered into with Wyoming Financial Lenders with respect to a possible merger transaction, the process of integrating the two companies would proceed far more smoothly if day-to-day operational decisions respecting such integration could be made by persons who were intimately familiar with the business to be acquired. This decision was significantly influenced by the fact that (i) the management personnel appointed on November 29, 2007 were not involved in URON’s dwindling dial-up internet business and (ii) our Board of Directors remained unaffected and wholly controlled by our pre-Merger shareholders. Accordingly, if the parties had failed to promptly reach a definitive Merger Agreement and eventually engage in the Merger, our Board of Directors would have removed the newly appointed executives without effect on URON’s dial-up internet business. Furthermore, our Board of Directors was fully informed about the conflicts of interest presented by the management appointments, and expressly retained final discretion to approve the closing of the Merger transaction—even after the Merger Agreement had been executed and delivered on December 13, 2007.

Prior to the Merger, we effected a 1-for-10 share combination (i.e., reverse stock split) of our capital stock that was effective as of December 27, 2007. The share combination was approved by our Board of Directors pursuant to the provisions of the Minnesota Business Corporation Act together with a corresponding reduction in the number of shares of authorized capital stock. The reverse stock split was deemed necessary by the parties to Merger Agreement in order to obtain a post-Merger capitalization that would properly apportion the Company’s equity in a manner consistent with the intent expressed in the Merger Agreement. In this regard, the Merger Agreement made the effectuation of the reverse stock split a condition to the consummation of the Merger. The effect of the reverse stock split upon the shareholders of URON prior to the Merger was to reduce the absolute number of shares of capital stock which each possessed by a factor of ten, maintain their percentage ownership in the Company until the Merger, and then, upon the effectiveness of the Merger, reduce their collective percentage ownership in the Company to approximately 9.5%.

Neither the Merger nor the Merger Agreement was approved by the shareholders of URON. This is because Minnesota corporate law does not require any such approval from the shareholders of a Minnesota corporation who will acquire another company in a merger transaction structured as a triangular merger. A triangular merger is a merger in which the legal entities engaged in the merger itself are an acquisition target (in our case, Wyoming Financial Lenders) and an acquisition subsidiary (in our case, a subsidiary formed and owned by URON that was named WFL Acquisition Corp.). In a reverse triangular merger, the acquisition subsidiary merges with and into the acquisition target; the outstanding stock of the acquisition subsidiary and the acquisition target is cancelled; a new ownership interest in the acquisition target is issued to the parent corporation of the acquisition subsidiary (in our case, URON); and shares of the parent corporation are issued to the former owners of the acquisition target. In other words, although URON was a party to the Merger Agreement and was involved in the transactions associated with the Merger, URON did not itself merge with any other entity. Minnesota law requires shareholder approval of a merger only when a Minnesota corporation is itself merging with or into another entity.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Acquisition of VZ Wireless

On January 14, 2009, our PQH Wireless subsidiary purchased certain assets of VZ Wireless, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company. Under the related Asset Purchase Agreement, PQH Wireless acquired 12 Cricket Wireless store locations and related assets for a cash purchase price of $1,828,000. The acquired stores and assets are located in Kansas City, Missouri (four stores) and St. Louis, Missouri (eight stores).

Settlement Agreement

On May 1, 2009, we entered into a Settlement Agreement with Christopher Larson, our former Chief Executive Officer. We entered into the Settlement Agreement to settle certain disputes that we had with Mr. Larson. Under the Settlement Agreement, we, together with Wyoming Financial Lenders, WERCS and John Quandahl (collectively, the “Western Parties”), fully released Mr. Larson and National Cash & Credit (together, the “Larson Parties”) from any and all claims, known and unknown, and the Larson Parties similarly fully released the Western Parties from any and all claims, known and unknown. In addition, the Settlement Agreement required Mr. Larson to place all 550,000 shares of his common stock in the Company in an escrow arrangement that will result in either the complete redemption of those shares or the release of those shares back to him under certain circumstances. In particular:

the shares will be fully redeemed in the event that either Mr. Larson’s personal guaranty of debt owed by Wyoming Financial Lenders to Banco Popular North America is terminated or revoked, or all amounts owed by Wyoming Financial Lenders to Banco Popular are fully paid; or

the shares will be released back to Mr. Larson in the event that Mr. Larson pays money in satisfaction of the guaranty or WERCS breaches the terms of an agreement it has with Mr. Larson to indemnify him in the event he is required to perform any obligations under his personal guaranty.

For further information regarding the Settlement Agreement, please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed with the SEC on May 4, 2009.

Banco Popular Line of Credit

On November 13, 2008, Wyoming Financial Lenders, Inc. entered into a Business Loan Agreement and associated agreements with Banco Popular North America, located in Rosemont, Illinois. The Business Loan Agreement provides Wyoming Financial Lenders with a one-year revolving line of credit in an amount of up to $2,000,000. Among other things, a default occurs under the Business Loan Agreement in the event of any breach thereunder by Wyoming Financial Lenders. In the event of any default, Banco Popular may accelerate all amounts due subject to a ten-day right to cure applicable in certain circumstances.

On January 4, 2010, Wyoming Financial Lenders, Inc., executed an amended Business Loan Agreement and associated Promissory Note with Banco Popular North America with an effective date of October 30, 2009 refinancing the matured note. Western Capital Resources and Banco Popular also entered into a new Commercial Pledge Agreement pursuant to which Western Capital Resources pledged its share ownership in Wyoming Financial Lenders, Inc. and substantially all of its other assets to Banco Popular as collateral security for the obligations of Wyoming Financial Lenders under the amended Business Loan Agreement and Promissory Note.

In connection with the execution of the new agreements, Wyoming Financial Lenders paid Banco Popular $216,046 in principal ($100,000 loan reduction at renewal plus the first two scheduled installments of $52,776) and interest accrued through December 31, 2009. The payment terms under the new Promissory Note require the company to make seven monthly principal payments of $52,776 from November 29, 2009 through May 29, 2010, followed by $175,000 principal payment on May 29, 2010 and a balloon payment of $1,508,895 on May 31, 2010. Under the new Promissory Note, interest will accrue on the unpaid principal balance at the variable rate equal to (i) the one-month LIBOR (as published by the British Banker’s Association) (currently 0.24%) plus (ii) a margin of 7.25%.

Definitive Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement

On February 23, 2010, WERCS entered into a definitive Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement by and between WERCS, and WCR Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation, pursuant to which WERCS has agreed to sell to WCR all shares of the Common Stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company owned by WERCS. The parties later agreed to the assignment of the purchase rights to WCR, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, pursuant to an amendment to the Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement . The sale of these shares is scheduled to close on the later of March 31, 2010 or two business days after the satisfaction or waiver of all applicable closing conditions set forth in the Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement, including conditions that the Company’s Articles of Incorporation be amended so that the provisions of the Minnesota Control Share Acquisition Act do not apply to the sale of such shares to WCR, LLC and that three of the four existing directors of the Company resign from the Company’s Board of Directors. It is anticipated that the resigning directors will be replaced by persons designated by WCR, LLC.

WERCS received an aggregate of 1,125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and 10,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in connection with a merger transaction with Wyoming Financial Lenders that was completed on December 31, 2007. WERCS beneficially own 11,125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing approximately 61.8% of the Company’s common shares.

Special Shareholder Meeting

On March 29, 2010, the Company held a special shareholder meeting in accordance with a demand made by WERCS on February 24, 2010, together with a shareholder proposal to consider and vote on an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles”), to make the Minnesota Control Share Acquisition Act inapplicable to the Company. The meeting demand and proposal are covered in the Company’s Proxy Statement (on Form DEF 14A) filed with the SEC on March 15, 2010. The shareholders of the Company approved the amendment to the Articles at the special shareholder meeting.

The amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, is a condition to the sale by WERCS of all of its Company common stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to WCR, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement by and among WERCS and WCR, LLC. A copy of the Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement is publicly available as Exhibit B to the Schedule 13D/A filed by WERCS with the SEC on February 24, 2010. In addition, there are other conditions to the closing of the sale by WERCS of its capital stock to WCR, LLC under the Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement, including:

•

the resignation of specified members of our board of directors;

•

the release of Mr. Moberly from his guarantee of the obligations of Wyoming Financial Lenders in connection with the loan obtained from Banco Popular (see the “Banco Popular Line of Credit” caption above”); and

•

the Company entering into an employment agreement with its current Chief Executive Officer, John Quandahl, on terms and conditions that are substantially similar to Mr. Quandahl’s current employment arrangement with the Company.

The Company is not a party to the Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement and is not bound by any of the provisions of such agreement, including any of the conditions to the closing of the purchase and sale.

WERCS Financing Commitment

On March 30, 2010, the Company received a commitment letter from WERCS agreeing to provide a Business Loan Agreement to the Company to replace the existing Banco Popular Business Loan Agreement and associated agreements. Under the anticipated agreements with WERCS, an amount up to the unpaid balance of the existing Banco Pupular note may be borrowed at an interest rate of 12% payable monthly, with principal due one year from the date of the loan, and the note secured by the grant of a security interest covering substantially all of the assets of the Company. Other than the repayment terms, interest rate, and change in collateral, all other terms and conditions are expected to be substantially similar to those of the Banco Popular Business Loan Agreement and associated agreements.

ITEM 1A RISK FACTORS

You should consider the following risk factors, in addition to the other information presented or incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K, in evaluating our business and your investment in us.

The payday loan industry is highly regulated under state laws. Changes in state laws and regulations governing lending practices, or changes in the interpretation of such laws and regulations, could negatively affect our business.

Our business is regulated under numerous state laws and regulations, which are subject to change and which may impose significant costs or limitations on the way we conduct or expand our business. As of the date of this report, approximately 34 states and the District of Columbia had legislation permitting or not prohibiting payday loans. During the last few years, legislation has been adopted in some states that prohibits or severely restricts payday loans. For example, in 2006, Oregon passed a ballot initiative that caps interest rates and origination fees on payday loans at 36%, among other limitations. Before that, Georgia law effectively prohibited direct payday lending in 2004.

There are nearly always bills pending in various states to alter the current laws governing payday lending. Any of these bills, or future proposed legislation or regulations prohibiting payday loans or making them less profitable, could be passed in any state at any time, or existing payday loan laws could expire. In 2008, legislation banning payday loans was introduced in Nebraska, however, the bill never made it out of committee. However, since we derive approximately 27% of our payday revenues in Nebraska, the passage of any such legislation in Nebraska would have a highly material and negative effect on our business.

Statutes authorizing payday loans typically provide state agencies that regulate banks and financial institutions with significant regulatory powers to administer and enforce the laws relating to payday lending. Under statutory authority, state regulators have broad discretionary power and may impose new licensing requirements, interpret or enforce existing regulatory requirements in different ways or issue new administrative rules, even if not contained in state statutes, that affect the way we do business and may force us to terminate or modify our operations in those jurisdictions. They may also impose rules that are generally adverse to our industry. Finally, in many states, the attorney general has scrutinized or continues to scrutinize the payday loan statutes and the interpretations of those statutes.

Any adverse change in present laws or regulations, or their interpretation, in one or more such states (or an aggregation of states in which we conduct a significant amount of business) would likely result in our curtailment or cessation of operations in such jurisdictions. Any such action would have a corresponding highly material and negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition, primarily through a material decrease in revenues, and could also negatively affect our general business prospects as well if we are unable to effectively replace such revenues in a timely and efficient manner.

Our business is subject to complex federal laws and regulations governing lending practices, and changes in such laws and regulations could negatively affect our business.

Although states provide the primary regulatory framework under which we offer payday loans, certain federal laws also affect our business. For example, because payday loans are viewed as extensions of credit, we must comply with the federal Truth-in-Lending Act and Regulation Z under that Act. Additionally, we are subject to the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and certain other federal laws. Additionally, anti-payday loan legislation has been introduced in the U.S. Congress in the past. These efforts culminated in federal legislation in 2006 that limits the interest rate and fees that may be charged on any loans, including payday loans, to any person in the military to the equivalent of 36% per annum. The military lending prohibition became effective on October 1, 2007.

In July 2008, a bill was introduced before the U.S. Senate, entitled the “Protecting Consumers from Unreasonable Credit Rates Act of 2008” (an amendment to the Truth in Lending Act), proposing to set a maximum actual or imputed interest rate of 36% on all extensions of credit of any type. The bill was intended to limit the charges and fees payable in connection with payday lending. No action has been taken on the bill since its referral to the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs in July 2008.

In February 2009, Congress introduced H.R. 1214 (the Payday Loan Reform Act of 2009, an amendment to the Truth in Lending Act). If enacted, this amendment would restrict charges for a single-payment loan to a 391% effective annual rate, or $15 per $100 for a two-week loan, prohibit loan rollovers, limit borrowers to one outstanding loan at a time and permit only one extended repayment plan every six months. Presently, the bill is in the House Financing Committee. We have no further information regarding this bill or any legislative efforts Congress may propose at this time. The passage of this bill would have a material and adverse effect on the Company, operating results,financial conditions and prospects and even its viability.

Any adverse change in present federal laws or regulations that govern or otherwise affect payday lending could result in our curtailment or cessation of operations in certain jurisdictions or locations. Furthermore, any failure to comply with any applicable federal laws or regulations could result in fines, litigation, the closure of one or more store locations or negative publicity. Any such change or failure would have a corresponding impact on our results of operations and financial condition, primarily through a decrease in revenues resulting from the cessation or curtailment of operations, decrease in our operating income through increased legal expenditures or fines, and could also negatively affect our general business prospects as well if we are unable to effectively replace such revenues in a timely and efficient manner or if negative publicity effects our ability to obtain additional financing a needed.

Changes in local regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition to state and federal laws and regulations, our business is subject to various local rules and regulations such as local zoning regulations and permit licensing. We are aware of increasing efforts by local jurisdictions to restrict payday lending through the use of local zoning and permitting laws. Any actions taken in the future by local zoning boards or other governing bodies to require special use permits for, or impose other restrictions on, payday lenders could have a material adverse effect on the growth of our business and business prospects primarily by restricting any efforts to grow our business “organically” by opening more lending store locations.

Litigation and regulatory actions directed toward our industry or us could adversely affect our operating results, particularly in certain key states.

During the last few years, our industry has been subject to regulatory proceedings, class action lawsuits and other litigation regarding the offering of payday loans, and we could suffer losses resulting from interpretations of state laws in those lawsuits or regulatory proceedings, even if we are not a party to those proceedings. For example, the North Carolina Commissioner of Banks recently issued a ruling in which it determined that Advance America, which marketed, originated, serviced and collected payday loans on behalf of a state-chartered bank located in Kentucky, violated various North Carolina consumer-protection statutes. Thus, the losses we could suffer could be directly incurred through our involvement in litigation or regulatory proceedings, or could be indirectly incurred through negative publicity regarding the industry in general that is generated by litigation on regulatory proceedings involving third parties.

In addition, regulatory actions taken with respect to a particular non-payday lending financial service that we offer could negatively affect our ability to offer such other financial services. For example, if we were the subject of regulatory action related to our check-cashing business, that regulatory action could adversely affect our ability to maintain our payday lending licenses. Moreover, the suspension or revocation of our license or other authorization in one state could adversely affect our ability to maintain licenses in other states. Accordingly, a violation of a law or regulation with respect to otherwise unrelated products or in other jurisdictions could affect other parts of our business and adversely affect our business and operations as a whole.

We will likely need additional financing in the future and any such financing may dilute our existing shareholders.

We anticipate that we will continue to experience growth in our income and expenses for the foreseeable future and that our operating expenses will be a material use of cash resources. Presently, we believe we have cash sufficient to maintain operations through May 31, 2010 when the remaining balance of approximately $1.5 million on a $2 million lending facility is due. In the event that our income does not meet our expectations, we may sooner require additional financing for working capital. In addition, if we determine to grow our business through acquisitions, any acquisitions we consummate will likely involve outside financing. Any additional financing, for whatever purpose and for whatever reason, may dilute our existing shareholders.

Additional financing could be sought from a number of sources, including but not limited to additional sales of equity or debt securities (including equity-linked or convertible debt securities), loans from banks, loans from our affiliates or other financial institutions. We may not, however, be able to sell any securities or obtain any such additional financing when needed, or do so on terms and conditions acceptable or favorable to us, if at all. If financing is not available, we may be forced to consider strategic alternatives, such as (but not limited to) curtailing certain aspects of our operations or closing certain operating locations. If we successfully enter into a financing transaction, any additional equity or equity-linked financing would be dilutive to shareholders, and additional debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants.

Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls could limit our ability to detect and prevent fraud and thereby adversely affect our business and stock price.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports. Nevertheless, all internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Our most recent evaluation of our internal controls resulted in our conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Our ability to maintain an effective control environment may cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on our stock price.

The concentration of our revenues in certain states could adversely affect us.

We currently provide payday lending services in 10 states. For the year ended December 31, 2009, revenues from our locations in Nebraska represented approximately 27% of our total payday revenues. For the foreseeable future, we expect that a material and significant portion of our revenues will continue to be generated in Nebraska. We operate Cricket stores in seven states. For the year ended December 31, 2009, revenues from our Missouri stores represented approximately 39% of our total Cricket revenues. As a result, changes to prevailing economic, demographic, competitive, regulatory or any other conditions, including the legislative, regulatory or litigation risks mentioned above, in the markets in which we operate, and in Nebraska and Missouri in particular, could lead to a reduction in demand for our services and result in a decline in our revenues or an increase in our provision for doubtful accounts, or even an outright legal prohibition on the conduct of our business. Any of these outcomes could in turn result in a material and swift deterioration of our financial condition principally by impairing our revenues and affecting our ability to obtain financing and operating liquidity, our operating results and our business prospects (again, principally by reducing our revenues and impairing our ability to grow our business).

A default under our borrowing agreements with Banco Popular could require us to seek financing on a short-term basis that may be disadvantageous to the Company and could result in our inability to redeem and retire 550,000 shares of our common stock presently held in an escrow arrangement.

On November 13, 2008, Wyoming Financial Lenders, Inc. entered into a Business Loan Agreement and associated agreements with Banco Popular North America (“Banco Popular”), located in Rosemont, Illinois. The Business Loan Agreement provided Wyoming Financial Lenders with a one-year revolving line of credit in an amount of up to $2,000,000. All accrued and unpaid interest, together with all outstanding principal, was due on October 30, 2009. On October 30, 2009, we amended our Business Loan Agreement and also entered into a new Commercial Pledge Agreement wherein we pledged our share ownership in Wyoming Financial Lenders, Inc. and substantially all of its other assets to Banco Popular as collateral security for the obligations of Wyoming Financial Lenders under the amended Business Loan Agreement and Promissory Note. The structure of the new Business Loan Agreement changed from a line of credit to a term loan requiring the Company to make seven monthly principal payments of $52,776 from November 29, 2009 through May 29, 2010, followed by $175,000 principal payment on May 29, 2010 and a balloon payment of $1,508,895 on May 31, 2010.

In connection with the Business Loan Agreement, both Wyoming Financial Lenders and Western Capital granted security to Banco Popular. In particular, Wyoming Financial Lenders granted Banco Popular a security interest in substantially all of its assets, and Western Capital pledged its ownership (ie., shares of common stock) in Wyoming Financial Lenders. Because Wyoming Financial Lenders conducts our payday lending business, this means that if we were unable to meet our accelerated payment obligations in the event of a default, we could lose some or all of our ownership of our payday lending business.

It is also possible that other difficulties may arise in relation to our Business Loan Agreement with Banco Popular. For instance, since we have separated with Mr. Christopher Larson, it is possible that Mr. Larson may revoke or breach the terms of his guaranty agreement, resulting in a default under the Business Loan Agreement. It is also possible that we may, at some point in the future, be unable to meet a material covenant under the Business Loan Agreement or may otherwise find ourselves in default.

Defaults occur under the Business Loan Agreement in the event of:

a default in payment

a default in a representation, warranty or covenant under the Business Loan Agreement or any of the other agreements entered into in connection therewith

a default under any other material agreement to which Wyoming Financial Lenders or any guarantor is a party

the insolvency of Wyoming Financial Lenders

an adverse change in the financial condition of Wyoming Financial Lenders

the defective collateralization or the commencement of creditor proceedings against borrower or against any collateral securing the obligations under the Business Loan Agreement, or

a change in control of more than 25% of the common stock of Wyoming Financial Lenders

In the event of any default, Banco Popular may accelerate all amounts due subject to a ten-day right to cure applicable in certain circumstances. This right may require us to take steps that would otherwise be adverse to us in order to meet our accelerated payment obligations, including such steps as selling additional securities or assets of the Company or obtaining financing on terms that are disadvantageous.

Finally, as disclosed under the Recent Development section of Part I, Item 1, we entered into a Settlement Agreement with Christopher Larson on May 1, 2009 to settle certain disputes that we had with Mr. Larson. Under the Settlement Agreement, Mr. Larson has placed 550,000 shares of his common stock in the Company in an escrow arrangement that will result in either the complete redemption of those shares or the release of those shares back to him under certain circumstances. In particular:

the shares will be fully redeemed in the event that either Mr. Larson's guaranty of debt owed by Wyoming Financial Lenders to Banco Popular is terminated or revoked, or all amounts owed by Wyoming Financial Lenders to Banco Popular are fully paid; or

Therefore, if we were unable to meet our accelerated payment obligations in the event of a default, we could lose our right to redeem and retire the 550,000 shares of common stock presently held in the name of Mr. Larson.

Unpredictability in financing markets could impair our ability to grow our business through acquisitions.

We anticipate that opportunities to acquire similar businesses will materially depend on the availability of financing alternatives with acceptable terms. As a result, poor credit and other market conditions or uncertainty in the financing markets could materially limit our ability to grow through acquisitions since such conditions and uncertainty make obtaining financing more difficult.

Public perception of payday lending as being predatory or abusive could adversely affect our business.

Recently, consumer advocacy groups and media reports have advocated governmental action to prohibit or severely restrict payday loans. The consumer groups and media reports typically focus on the cost to a consumer for this type of loan, which is higher than the interest typically charged by credit card issuers. The consumer groups and media reports typically characterize these transactions as predatory or abusive toward consumers. If this negative characterization of our business becomes widely accepted by consumers, demand for our payday loans could significantly decrease, which could adversely affect our results of operations primarily by decreasing our revenues. Negative perception of our business activities could also result in our industry being subject to more restrictive laws and regulations and greater exposure to litigation.

Any disruption in the availability of our information systems could adversely affect our operations.

We rely upon our information systems to manage and operate our business. Each location is part of an information network that permits us to maintain adequate cash inventory, reconcile cash balances daily, and report revenues and loan losses in a timely manner. Our security measures could fail to prevent a disruption in the availability of our information systems or our back-up systems could fail to operate properly. Any disruption in the availability of our information systems could adversely affect our results of operations by impairing our ability to efficiently effect transactions.

If we lose key managers or are unable to attract and retain the talent required for our business, our operating results could suffer.

Our future success depends to a significant degree upon the members of our executive management, particularly John Quandahl, who is our Chief Executive Officer and interim Chief Financial Officer. Accordingly, the loss of the services of Mr. Quandahl would likely materially and adversely affect our business. Importantly, we do not currently have an employment agreement with Mr. Quandahl, and thus we cannot be certain that Mr. Quandahl will feel obligated to continue providing services to us for any particular period of time. Our continued growth will also depend upon our ability to attract and retain additional skilled management personnel. Competition for highly skilled and experienced management is intense and likely to continue and increase. To the extent that we are unable to attract and retain the talent required for our business, our operating results could suffer.

We lack product and business diversification with a customer base primarily in urban areas, which creates a risk that our future revenues and earnings will be susceptible to fluctuations.

Our primary payday business activity is offering and servicing payday loans. We also provide certain related and other services, such as check cashing, money transfers and money orders. The payday segment accounted for approximately 64% of our total revenues in 2009. Our Cricket retail segment accounted for approximately 36% of our total revenues in 2009. If we are unable to further diversify our business products and services and expand our customer-base outside of the urban areas, we may experience fluctuations in our revenues and earnings, which may be significant, relating to our payday lending business and wireless cellular sales. Such fluctuations could result from legal or regulatory changes in one or more jurisdictions, changes in economic conditions in the jurisdictions where we provide services, or result from other risks or adverse events befalling us. Our susceptibility to fluctuations or the actual happening of significant fluctuations in our revenues or earnings could cause our Company to be perceived as a less stable and therefore less attractive investment in general, which would likely negatively affect the market price of our common stock and our ability to obtain additional financing an acceptable terms.

Competition in the retail financial services industry is intense and could cause us to lose market share and revenues.

We believe that the primary competitive factors in the payday loan industry are store location and customer service. We face intense competition in the payday loan industry, and we believe that the payday lending market is becoming more competitive as this industry matures and begins to consolidate. The payday loan industry has low barriers to entry, and new competitors, such as Wal-Mart, may enter the market easily. We currently compete with services, such as overdraft protection offered by traditional financial institutions, and with other payday loan and check cashing stores and other financial service entities and retail businesses that offer payday loans or other similar financial services, as well as a rapidly growing internet-based payday loan market. Some of our competitors have larger and more established customer bases and substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources than we have. As a result, we could lose market share and our revenues could decline, thereby affecting our earnings and potential for growth.

We face significant wireless cellular competition that may reduce our market share and lower our profits.

We face significant competition in our industry. We currently compete with resellers of our size including US Cellular and Metro PCS. We also compete with the four national wireless service providers: AT&T, Sprint Nextel, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless and with Walmart’s recent rollout of their Straight Talk plan . Our ability to compete effectively will depend on, among other things, the pricing of Cricket services and equipment, the quality of our customer service, the reach and quality of our sales and distribution channels and our capital resources. It will also depend on how successfully we anticipate and respond to various factors affecting our industry, including new technologies and business models, changes in consumer preferences, demographic trends and economic conditions. Finally, as a Cricket reseller, we are dependent upon pricing and channel strategies established by Leap Wireless.

The wireless industry also faces competition from other communications and technology companies seeking to capture customer revenue and brand dominance with respect to the provision of wireless products and services. For example, Apple Inc. is packaging software applications and content with its handsets, and Google Inc. has developed and deployed an operating system and related applications for mobile devices.

General economic conditions affect our loan losses, and accordingly, our results of operations could be adversely affected by a general economic slowdown.

Provision for loan losses, net of recoveries, is one of our largest operating expenses, constituting approximately 9% of total revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, with payday loan losses comprising most of the losses. At the end of each quarter, management considers recent collection history to develop expected loss rates, which are used to establish the allowance for loan losses. Any changes in economic factors that adversely affect our customers, such as a continued economic downturn or worsening economy, could result in higher loan loss experiences than anticipated, which could in turn adversely affect our loan charge-offs and operating results.

If estimates of our loan losses are not adequate to absorb actual losses, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

We maintain an allowance for loan losses at levels to cover the estimated incurred losses in the collection of our loan portfolio outstanding at the end of each applicable period. At the end of each period, management considers recent collection history to develop expected loss rates, which are used to establish the allowance for loan losses. Our allowance for loan losses was $1.24 million on December 31, 2009. Our allowance for loan losses is an estimate, and if actual loan losses are materially greater than our allowance for losses, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Because we maintain a significant supply of cash in our locations, we may experience losses due to employee error and theft.

Because our business requires us to maintain a significant supply of cash in our stores, we are subject to the risk of cash shortages resulting from employee error and theft. We periodically experience employee error and theft in stores, which can significantly increase the operating losses of those stores for the period in which the employee error or theft is discovered. We self-insure for employee error and theft at the store level. If our controls to limit our exposure to employee error and theft at the store level and at our corporate headquarters do not operate effectively or are structured ineffectively, our operating margins could be adversely affected by costs associated with increased security and preventative measures.

Regular turnover among our location managers and employees makes it more difficult for us to operate our locations and increases our costs of operation.

We experience a relatively stable workforce among our location managers and employees. Turnover interferes with implementation of operating strategies. Increases in our workforce turnover in the future would likely increase our operating pressures and operating costs and could restrict our ability to grow. Additionally, high turnover would create challenges for us in maintaining high levels of employee awareness of and compliance with our internal procedures and external regulatory compliance requirements. In sum, high turnover would increase our training and supervisory costs, and result in decreased earnings with corresponding greater risks of regulatory non-compliance.

Our directors, officers and our controlling shareholder possess controlling voting power with respect to our common stock and voting preferred stock, which will limit practically your influence on corporate matters.

Our officers and directors collectively possess beneficial ownership of approximately 11,600,307 shares of our common stock, which currently represents approximately 64.5% of our common stock. This includes all of the 1,125,000 common shares and 10,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (presently convertible into our common stock on a share-for-share basis) held by WERCS, the former sole stockholder of Wyoming Financial Lenders, Inc. As a result, our directors, officers and WERCS (our most significant shareholder), will have the ability to outrightly control our management and affairs through the election and removal of our directors, and all other matters requiring shareholder approval, including the future merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. In fact, Mr. Robert Moberly, our Chairman, beneficially owns all of the shares held by WERCS and therefore has beneficial ownership of 11,125,000 common shares, which gives him alone beneficial ownership of 61.8% of our common stock on a voting basis. Therefore, Mr. Moberly has the power, alone, to control the composition of our Board of Directors and the outcome of any matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. In addition, Mr. Joseph A. Geraci, II possesses beneficial ownership of 800,000 common shares (indirectly through Mill City Ventures, LP). Mr. Geraci is also a part owner of Lantern Advisers, LLC, which was instrumental in arranging for and structuring important terms of the reverse merger transaction in which the Company acquired Wyoming Financial Lenders. Mr. Geraci does not, however, have investment or voting control over shares of our Company held by Lantern Advisers.

When the shares held by of our officers and directors are aggregated with those beneficially owned by Mr. Geraci, such persons beneficially own and control over 68% of our common stock. This concentrated control could discourage others from initiating any potential merger, takeover or other change-of-control transaction that may otherwise be beneficial to our shareholders. Furthermore, this concentrated control will limit the practical effect of your participation in Company matters, through shareholder votes and otherwise.

Our articles of incorporation grant our Board of Directors the power to issue additional shares of common and preferred stock and to designate other classes of preferred stock, all without shareholder approval.

Our authorized capital consists of 250 million shares of capital stock. Pursuant to authority granted by our articles of incorporation, our Board of Directors, without any action by our shareholders, may designate and issue shares in such classes or series (including other classes or series of preferred stock) as it deems appropriate and establish the rights, preferences and privileges of such shares, including dividends, liquidation and voting rights. The rights of holders of other classes or series of stock that may be issued could be superior to the rights of holders of our common shares. The designation and issuance of shares of capital stock having preferential rights could adversely affect other rights appurtenant to shares of our common stock. Furthermore, any issuances of additional stock (common or preferred) will dilute the percentage of ownership interest of then-current holders of our capital stock and may dilute our book value per share.

The planned sale by WERCS of control of Company to WCR, LLC could ultimately have materially adverse consequences to our common shareholders if, after its acquisition of control, WCR, LLC were to pursue certain courses of action.

As indicated elsewhere in this report, WERCS intends to sell all of its Company capital stock to WCR, LLC under the terms of a Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement. This transaction could ultimately have a material and adverse effect upon our common shareholders if WCR, LLC, after it has obtained control over the Company, were to pursue certain courses of action. For example, if WCR, LLC were to attempt to liquidate and dissolve the Company then nearly all of the proceeds of such liquidation would be distributable to WCR, LLC pursuant to the liquidation preference associated with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. If WCR, LLC were to sell all of the Company’s assets to a third party, nearly all of the proceeds of such sale (net of any payments for dissenting shares) would be distributable to WCR, LLC as the controlling shareholder of the Company. Similarly, WCR, LLC may later determine that the costs associated with being a public reporting company are unjustified, and that the Company should de-register with the SEC in some fashion. In that event, the value of any then-outstanding shares of our common stock could be materially and adversely affected.

As noted in our Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on March 15, 2010, WCR, LLC has informed the Company that it does not presently intend to initiate any liquidation and dissolution of the Company, any sale of assets of the Company, or any tender offer (which is often part of a going-private transaction ultimately ending with deregistration with the SEC). Nonetheless, there can be no certainty that WCR, LLC will not in the future consider any such courses of action, or ultimately take any such action.

Because we became public by means of a reverse merger, we may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms.

Additional risks to our investors may exist since we became public through a “reverse merger.” Security analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of the Company since, because we became public through a reverse merger, there is no incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our common stock. In addition, because of past abuses and fraud concerns stemming primarily from a lack of public information about newly public businesses, there are many people in the securities industry and business in general who view reverse merger/public shell transactions with suspicion. Without brokerage firm and analyst coverage, there may be fewer people aware of us and our business, resulting in fewer potential buyers of our securities, less liquidity, and depressed stock prices for our investors.

Our common stock trades only in an illiquid trading market.

Trading of our common stock is conducted on the over-the-counter bulletin board. This has an adverse effect on the liquidity of our common stock, not only in terms of the number of shares that can be bought and sold at a given price, but also through delays in the timing of transactions and reduction in security analysts’ and the media’s coverage of us and our common stock. This may result in lower prices for our common stock than might otherwise be obtained and could also result in a larger spread between the bid and asked prices for our common stock.

In addition, there has typically been very little trading activity in our common stock. During 2009, the average daily trading volume (as reported by Yahoo Finance) was approximately 8,000 shares. This number drops to approximately 1,100 when excluding December 2009. The small trading volume will likely make it difficult for our shareholders to sell their shares as and when they choose. Furthermore, small trading volumes generally depress market prices. As a result, you may not always be able to resell shares of our common stock publicly at the time and prices that you feel are fair or appropriate.

There is not now and there may not ever be an active market for shares of our common stock.

In general, there has been minimal trading volume in our common stock. The small trading volume will likely make it difficult for our shareholders to sell their shares as and when they choose. Furthermore, small trading volumes are generally understood to depress market prices. As a result, you may not always be able to resell shares of our common stock publicly at the time and prices that you feel are fair or appropriate.

We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. We will, however, pay dividends on our convertible preferred stock.

We have paid dividends to WERCS, Inc. as the holder of 10,000,000 shares of “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock,” each share of which carries a $2.10 stated value. Our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock entitles its holders to (i) a cumulative 10% dividend, compounded and payable on a quarterly basis; (ii) in the event of a liquidation or dissolution of the Company, a preference in the amount of all accrued but unpaid dividends plus the stated value of such shares, before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of any junior securities; (iii) convert their preferred shares into our common stock on a share-for-share basis, subject to adjustment; and (iv) vote their preferred shares on an as-if-converted basis.

We have the right to redeem some or all such preferred shares, at any time upon 60 days’ advance notice, at a per-share price of $3.50 plus accrued but unpaid dividends. Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have no preemptive or cumulative-voting rights.

We do not anticipate that we will pay any dividends for the foreseeable future on our common stock. Accordingly, any return on an investment in us will be realized only when you sell shares of our common stock.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved in a variety of legal claims and proceedings incidental to our business, including customer bankruptcy and employment-related matters from time to time, and other legal matters that arise in the normal course of business. We believe these claims and proceedings are not out of the ordinary course for a business of the type and size in which we are engaged. In addition, on March 26, 2010, the Company and all of the members of its Board of Directors, among others, were sued by former members of our management team, Messrs. Steven Staehr and David Stueve. In that lawsuit, the plaintiffs have alleged, among other things, that our Board of Directors have breached certain of their fiduciary duties primarily in connection with the proposed sale by WERCS of its capital stock in the Company to WCR, LLC. The Company believes the lawsuit is entirely meritless. While we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these claims and proceedings, management believes there is not a reasonable possibility that the costs and liabilities of such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes that appear elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve significant uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed in “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this report. For further information, see “Forward-Looking Statements” below.

OVERVIEW

We provide (through Wyoming Financial Lenders, Inc.) retail financial services to individuals primarily in the midwestern and southwestern United States. These services include non-recourse cash advance loans, check cashing and other money services, including title loans. At the close of business on December 31, 2009 and as of the date of this report, we owned and operated 55 stores in 10 states, including Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

We provide short-term consumer loans—known as “payday” or “cash advance” loans—in amounts that typically range from $100 to $500. Payday loans provide customers with cash in exchange for a promissory note with a maturity of generally two to four weeks and the customer’s post-dated personal check for the aggregate amount of the cash advanced, plus a fee. The fee varies from state to state, based on applicable regulations, and generally ranges from $15 to $22 for each whole or partial increment of $100 borrowed. To repay a payday loan, a customer may pay with cash, in which case their personal check is returned to them, or allow the check to be presented to the bank for collection. All of our payday loans and other services are subject to state regulations (which vary from state to state), federal regulations and local regulation, where applicable.

In October 2008, we began operating Cricket Wireless retail stores as an authorized dealer of Cricket Wireless products and services. Authorized dealers are permitted to sell the Cricket line and generally locate their store operations in areas with a strong potential customer base where Cricket does not maintain a corporate storefront. These locations are generally within the urban core or surrounding areas of a community. We are an authorized premier Cricket dealer, and as such, we are only permitted to sell the Cricket line of prepaid cellular phones at our Cricket retail stores. In addition, each store we operate must resemble a Cricket corporate store. Once we identify an area to locate a new store, we contact Cricket Wireless to obtain approval. Once Cricket Wireless approves our recommended location, we establish the storefront. Cricket Wireless provides assistance with exterior signage cost, marketing funds for the launch and premier kits for display. At the close of business on December 31, 2009 we owned and operated 33 Cricket wireless retail stores in seven states, including Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska and Texas.

Our expenses primarily relate to the operations of our various stores. The most significant expenses include salaries and benefits for our store employees, provisions for payday loan losses, occupancy expense for our leased real estate and advertising. Our other significant expenses are general and administrative, which includes compensation of employees, professional fees for consulting, accounting, audit and legal services.

With respect to our cost structure, salaries and benefits are one of our largest costs and are driven primarily by the addition of branches throughout the year and growth in loan volumes. Phone and accessory cost of sales make up our second largest expense item. Our provision for losses is also a significant expense. We have experienced seasonality in our operations, with the first and fourth quarters typically being our strongest periods as a result of broader economic factors, such as holiday spending habits at the end of each year and income tax refunds during the first quarter.

We evaluate our stores based on revenue growth, gross profit contributions and loss ratio (which is losses as a percentage of revenues), with consideration given to the length of time the branch has been open and its geographic location. We evaluate changes in comparable branch financial and other measures on a routine basis to assess operating efficiency. We define comparable branches as those branches that are open during the full periods for which a comparison is being made. For example, comparable branches for the annual analysis we undertook as of December 31, 2009 have been open at least 24 months on that date. We monitor newer branches for their progress toward profitability and rate of loan growth or units sold.

Revenues increased to $18.31 million in 2009 from $12.87 million in 2008, the increase resulting mainly from our addition of Cricket retail locations in 2009. Payday loan revenues totaled $10.70 million in 2009 compared to $10.19 million in 2008. Revenues from our Cricket phone sales increased in 2009 to $5.29 million compared to $1.06 million during 2008. Store salaries and benefits expense was $5.58 million in 2009 compared to $3.78 million in 2008, an increase that resulted mainly from the additional Cricket cellular retail locations in 2009. Our 2009 phone and accessories cost of sales was $2.16 million compared to $.64 million in 2008, again a result of the increase in Cricket retail locations in 2009. Income from stores increased to $3.54 million in 2009 compared to $3.45 million in 2008. Primarily as a result of these factors, net income increased to $.77 million in 2009 from net income of $.60 million in 2008.

We have 10,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (10% cumulative dividends, $0.01 par value, $2.10 stated value) authorized, issued and outstanding. Our Board of Directors votes quarterly to approve the payment of this dividend in the amount of $525,000, as appropriate and permitted by Minnesota law, which represents an annual liability to us of up to $2.1 million. The dividend can be paid either in cash or in shares of our common stock at the discretion of the preferred shareholder. This preferred dividend is included in the net income or loss available to common shareholders. As a result, we had a net loss available to common shareholders in 2009 and 2008.

Our obligation to pay preferred dividends significantly impacts our cash flow and our ability to grow through acquisitions, which is the most significant way in which we expect to grow. For instance, our use of cash in satisfaction of the dividend-payment obligations prevents us from using that cash as part of acquisition transactions. The present condition of the credit markets also makes it difficult for us to surmount this obstacle through borrowing. In addition, our use of cash in satisfaction of the dividend-payment obligations makes it more difficult for us to manage our cash in ways that we will ensure the availability of cash for lending to our payday loan customers during the fall and winter months, which is typically the busiest time of year for payday lending.

The preferred dividend obligation also significantly affects our net income available to common shareholders. For example, absent the preferred dividend, of which $1 million is still payable for 2009, our net income available to common shareholders for 2009 would have been over $.77 million. For this reason, we are continuing to explore ways in which we may be able to retire or redeem the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. It is difficult for us to forecast what success, if any, we may have in this endeavor. In particular, this is because all outstanding shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are contemplated to be purchased from our current preferred shareholder by WCR, LLC, with whom the Company has no current relationship, whether as a partner, shareholder, creditor, consultant or otherwise. As a result, we presently have no way of knowing how receptive WCR, LLC may be to renegotiating the rights, privileges and preferences of the preferred stock.

The growth of the payday loan industry has followed, and continues to be significantly affected by, payday lending legislation and regulation in the various states and nationally. We actively monitor and evaluate legislative and regulatory initiatives in each of the states and nationally, and are involved with the efforts of the various industry lobbying efforts. To the extent that states enact legislation or regulations that negatively impacts payday lending, whether through preclusion, fee reduction or loan caps, our business could be adversely affected. In Nebraska, legislation was introduced in 2008 (but did not advance) to ban all cash advance or payday loans in Nebraska. Despite the defeat of this legislation, since we derived approximately 27% of our 2009 total payday lending revenues in Nebraska, any subsequent attempts to pass similar legislation in Nebraska, or other legislation that would restrict our ability to make cash advance loans in Nebraska, would pose significant risks to our business.

With payday loan industry growth and fragmentation, we believe there are opportunities to grow our business, primarily through acquisitions as opposed to organic growth. We continually evaluate opportunities in numerous states in which we currently operate and evaluating the regulatory environment and market potential in the various states in which we currently do not have stores. In addition to expanding our geographic reach, our strategic expansion plans also involve the expansion and diversification of our product and service offerings. For this reason, we have focused, and will continue to focus, a significant amount of time and resources on the development of our Cricket Wireless retail stores. We believe that successful expansion, both geographically and product- and service-wise, will help to mitigate the regulatory and economic risk inherent in our business by making us less reliant on (i) cash advance lending alone and (ii) any particular aspect of our business that concentrated geographically.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008

For the year ended December 31, 2009, net income was $.77 million compared to a net income of $.60 million in 2008. Income from continuing operations before income taxes was $1.24 million in 2009 compared to $1.11 million in 2008. The major components of each of revenues, store expenses, general and administrative expenses, total operating expenses and income tax expense are discussed below.

Revenues

Revenues totaled $18.31 million in 2009 compared to $12.87 million in 2008, an increase of $5.44 million or 42.3%. The increase in revenues was primarily a result of an increased number of Cricket cellular wireless stores in operation. We originated approximately $73.16 million in payday loans during 2009 compared to $69.30 million in payday loans during the prior year. The average loan (including fee) totaled $368 in 2009 versus $359 in the prior year. Our average fee for 2009 was $52.08 compared to $51.69 for 2008. No new payday locations were added in 2009. Revenues from Cricket phone sales totaled $5.29 million in 2009 compared to $1.06 million in 2008. We added a net of 22 Cricket retail location during 2009. Other revenues, including check cashing, title loans, Cricket payment processing and service change fees and other sources, totaled $2.32 million and $1.62 million for 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The following table summarizes revenues:

	Year Ended December 31,				Year Ended December 31,
	2009		2008		2009			2008
					(percentage of revenues)
Payday loan fees	$	10,700,842	$	10,193,324		58.5	%		79.2	%
Phones and accessories		5,289,537		1,060,002		28.9	%		8.2	%
Check cashing fees		813,174		1,128,169		4.4	%		8.8	%
Other income and fees		1,506,048		493,322		8.2	%		3.8	%
Total	$	18,309,601	$	12,874,817		100	%		100	%

We expect that our sources of revenue for 2010 may continue to diversify as we continue to improve and grow our Cricket retail operations.

Store Expenses

Total expenses associated with store operations for 2009 were $14.77 million compared to $9.42 million for 2008. The major components of these expenses are salaries and benefits for our store employees, provision for loan losses, costs of sales for phones and accessories, occupancy costs primarily relating to our store leaseholds, advertising expenses, depreciation of store equipment, amortization of intangible assets and other expenses associated with store operations.

Overall, our most significant increases in store expenses from 2009 to 2008 related to salaries and benefits for our store employees, phones and accessories, and our costs of occupancy. Our most significant decrease in store expenses over that same period relates to the provision for loan losses. A discussion and analysis of the various components of our store expenses appears below.

Salaries and Benefits. Payroll and related costs at the store level were $5.58 million in 2009 compared to $3.78 million in 2008, an increase of $1.80 million as headcount increased mostly due to an increase in the number of store locations during the year. As a result of added Cricket retail store locations in 2009 and future expansion into new market, we expect that salaries and benefits for 2010 will continue to increase for the foreseeable future.

Provisions for Loan Losses. Our provision for losses for 2009 totaled $1.55 million and $1.88 million for 2008. Our provision for loan losses as a percentage of loan fee revenue was 14.5% during 2009 versus 18.5% during 2008. The more favorable loss ratio year-to-year reflects our expanded collection efforts in 2009 compared to 2008. Due to our inability to foretell the depth and duration of the continued economic downturn, we believe there are currently uncertainties in how significant any increased loan losses for 2010 may be.

Phone and Accessories Cost of Sales. The increase in our Cricket Wireless phone service segment revenues resulted in corresponding increase in costs of sales. For the year ended December 31, 2009, our costs of sales were $2.16 million compared to $.64 million for the same period in 2008. At December 31, 2009, we had 33 Cricket Wireless stores compared to 11 at December 31, 2008.

Occupancy Costs. Occupancy expenses, consisting primarily of store leases were $1.68 million during 2009 compared to $.91 million in 2008, an increase of $.77 million primarily resulting from the addition of stores during 2009. Occupancy expenses as a percentage of revenues increased from 7.1 % in 2008 to 9.2% in 2009, primarily due to the higher occupancy expense to revenue percentage in our Cricket stores.

Advertising. Advertising and marketing related expense was $.45 million in 2009 compared to $.38 million in 2008. We believe that our advertising expenses in 2010 may increase slightly over those in 2009, mainly as a result of the need to increase advertisement of our payday lending and wireless cellular services during the continued economic downturn.

Depreciation. Depreciation increased by $.11 million in 2009 due to depreciation associated with capital expenditures for stores. Depreciation was $.27 million for 2009 and $.16 million for 2008.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of the customer relationship intangible assets was $.69 million for 2009 and $.42 million for 2008.

Other Store Expenses. Other store expenses increased from $1.25 million in 2008 to $2.38 million in 2009. Other store expenses include bank fees, collection costs, repair and maintenance, supplies, telephone, utilities and network lines, and others. The significant increase in these expenses during 2009 are as a result of the additional stores in operation during 2009.

General and Administrative Expenses

Total general and administrative costs for 2009 were $2.30 million compared to $2.34 million for 2008. The major components of these costs for 2009 are salaries and benefits for our corporate headquarters operations and executive management, depreciation of certain headquarters-related equipment, and other general and administrative expenses.

Salaries and Benefits. Salaries and benefits expenses for 2009 were $.84 million compared to $.72 million for 2008, with the increase being mainly attributed to enhancing the corporate infrastructure to manage the increased operating locations added in 2009 and planned for future years. The Company expects that during 2010 salaries and benefits expenses associated with executive management and corporate headquarters will only slightly increase from their 2009 levels.

Interest Expense. The Company had $.35 million of interest expense in 2009 compared to $.08 million in 2008 as a result of our outstanding notes payable balance throughout 2009.

Other General and Administrative Expenses. Other general and administrative expenses, such as professional fees, utilities, office supplies, and other minor costs associated with corporate headquarters activities were $1.09 million in 2009, which is a decrease of $.46 million over the $1.55 million in such expenses incurred during 2008. Management expects these expense levels to decrease slightly in 2010 as certain legal and accounting expense are not expected again in 2010.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for 2009 and 2008 were $17.07 million compared to $11.77 million, respectively We anticipate our total operating expenses in 2010 to increase with the continued expansion of our Cricket retail operations.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense on continuing operations increased to $.47 million in 2009 compared to $.27 million in 2008.

Discontinued Operations

In 2008 the Company both acquired and disposed of payday loan stores acquired through the acquisition on National Cash & Credit, LLC and assets acquired from affiliates of STEN Corporation. These discontinued operations resulted in a net loss to the Company of $.23 million.

Adjusted EBITDA – Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Although the Company reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company believes that EBITDA adjusted for continuing operations (Adjusted EDBITDA), a non-GAAP financial measure, is useful in managing its business and evaluating its performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be viewed as a source of liquidity or as a cash flow measure. Adjusted EBITDA, which the Company defines as net income from continuing operations before interest expense, taxes on income, depreciation and amortization, is used by management primarily because of its wide acceptance as a measure of operating profitability before non-operating expenses (e.g., interest and taxes) and non-cash charges (e.g., depreciation and amortization). The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $2,565,526, as compared to the Adjusted EBITDA of $1,770,418 for the year ended December 31, 2008, a 44% increase.

As a non-GAAP financial measure, Adjusted EBITDA is not a substitute for GAAP financial results and should only be considered and evaluated in conjunction with the Company’s financial information that is presented in accordance with GAAP. A quantitative reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income is provided in the following table:

	Year Ended December 31,

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Summary cash flow data is as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2009				2008

Cash flows provided (used) by :
Operating activities		$	2,386,400			$	(1,207,459	)
Investing activities			(2,670,928	)			(1,280,670	)
Financing activities			(1,547,457	)			4,862,051
Net increase (decrease) in cash			(1,831,985	)			2,373,922
Cash, beginning of period			3,358,547				984,625
Cash, end of period		$	1,526,562			$	3,358,547

At December 31, 2009 we had cash of $1.53 million compared to cash of $3.36 million on December 31, 2008. The decrease results mainly from cash used in investing activities through the opening of additional stores and purchase of related property and equipment, interest and principal payments on our notes payable, and partial payment of our preferred stock dividend. For 2010, we believe that our available cash, combined with expected cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to fund our liquidity and capital expenditure requirements for the remainder 2010, subject to obtaining either extended terms with Banco Popular for the May 2010 balloon payment of approximately $1.5 million or financing with which to pay off such obligation. Our expected short-term uses of cash include the funding of our operating activities, anticipated increases in payday loans, repayments of bank debt and dividend payments on our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (to the extent approved by the Board of Directors).

Banco Popular Line of Credit

On January 4, 2010, Wyoming Financial Lenders, Inc., the wholly owned payday lending operating subsidiary of Western Capital Resources, Inc., entered into an amended Business Loan Agreement and associated Promissory Note with Banco Popular North America, relating to the outstanding debt of Wyoming Financial Lenders in the amount of $1,999,924. Western Capital Resources and Banco Popular also entered into a new Commercial Pledge Agreement pursuant to which Western Capital Resources pledged its share ownership in Wyoming Financial Lenders, Inc. and substantially all of its other assets to Banco Popular as collateral security for the obligations of Wyoming Financial Lenders under the amended Business Loan Agreement and Promissory Note.

In connection with the new agreements, Wyoming Financial Lenders paid Banco Popular $216,046 in principal and interest accrued through December 31, 2009. The payment structure under the new Promissory Note changed from a line of credit to a term loan requiring the company to make seven monthly principal payments of $52,776 from November 29, 2009 through May 29, 2010, followed by $175,000 principal payment on May 29, 2010 and a balloon payment of $1,508,895 on May 31, 2010. Under the new Promissory Note, interest will accrue on the unpaid principal balance at the variable rate equal to (i) the one-month LIBOR (as published by the British Banker’s Association) (currently 0.24%) plus (ii) a margin of 7.25%.

Defaults occur under the Business Loan Agreement in the event of:

a default in payment

a default by Wyoming Financial Lenders under the Business Loan Agreement or any of the other agreements entered into in connection with the Business Loan Agreement

a default under any other material agreement to which Wyoming Financial Lenders or any guarantor is a party

the insolvency of Wyoming Financial Lenders

an adverse change in the financial condition of Wyoming Financial Lenders

the defective collateralization or the commencement of creditor proceedings against borrower or against any collateral securing the obligations under the Business Loan Agreement, or

a change in control of more than 25% of the common stock of Wyoming Financial Lenders

In the event of any default, Banco Popular may accelerate all amounts due subject to a ten-day right to cure applicable in certain circumstances. Furthermore, Wyoming Financial Lenders conducts our payday lending business, this means that if we were unable to meet our accelerated payment obligations in the event of a default, we could lose some or all of our ownership of our payday lending business.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. We base these estimates on the information currently available to us and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1, “Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this report. We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

Loan Loss Allowance

We maintain a loan loss allowance for anticipated losses for our payday loans. To estimate the appropriate level of the loan loss allowance, we consider the amount of outstanding loans owed to us, historical loans charged off, current and expected collection patterns and current economic trends. Our current loan loss allowance is based on our net write offs, typically expressed as a percentage of loan amounts originated for the last 12 months applied against the principal balance of outstanding loans that we write off. We also periodically performs a look-back analysis on our loan loss allowance to verify the historical allowance established tracks with the actual subsequent loan write-offs and recoveries. We are aware that as conditions change, we may also need to make additional allowances in future periods.

Included in loans receivable are payday loans that are currently due or past due and payday loans that have not been repaid. This generally is evidenced where a customer’s personal check has been deposited and the check has been returned due to non-sufficient funds in the customer’s account, a closed account, or other reasons. Payday loans are carried at cost less the allowance for doubtful accounts. We do not specifically reserve for any individual payday loan. We aggregate payday loans for purposes of estimating the loss allowance using a methodology that analyzes historical portfolio statistics and management’s judgment regarding recent trends noted in the portfolio. This methodology takes into account several factors, including the maturity of the store location and charge-off and recovery rates. We utilize a software program to assist with the tracking of its historical portfolio statistics. As a result of the Company’s collection efforts, it historically writes off approximately 45% of the returned items. Based on days past the check return date, write-offs of returned items historically have tracked at the following approximate percentages: 1 to 30 days – 45%; 31 to 60 days – 68%; 61 to 90 days – 84%; 91 to 120 days – 89%; and 121 to 180 days – 91%. All returned items are charged-off after 180 days, as collections after that date have not been significant. The loan loss allowance is reviewed quarterly and any adjustment to the loan loss allowance as a result of historical loan performance, current and expected collection patterns and current economic trends is recorded.

At December 31, 2009 and 2008 our outstanding loans receivable aging was as follows:

	December 31,
	2009			2008
Current	$	4,965,000		$	4,988,000
31 – 60		216,000			253,000
61 – 90		238,000			310,000
91 - 120		226,000			252,000
121 – 150		232,000			259,000
151 – 180		236,000			241,000
		6,113,000			6,303,000
Allowance for losses		(1,237,000	)		(1,413,000	)
	$	4,876,000		$	4,890,000

A rollforward of our loans receivable allowance for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

	Year Ended December 31
	2009			2008
Loans receivable allowance, beginning of year	$	1,413,000		$	976,000
Provision for loan losses charged to expense:
Continuing operations		1,552,000			1,884,000
Discontinued operations		-			266,000
Charge-offs, net		(1,728,000	)		(1,713,000	)

Loans receivable allowance, end of year	$	1,237,000		$	1,413,000

Valuation of Long-lived and Intangible Assets

The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived and intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable; goodwill is tested on an annual basis. Factors that could trigger an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future cash flows, significant changes in the manner of use of acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business, and significant negative industry trends. When management determines that the carrying value of long-lived and intangible assets may not be recoverable, impairment is measured based on the excess of the assets' carrying value over the estimated fair value.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have no off balance sheet arrangements.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the statements made in this report are “forward-looking statements,” as that term is defined under Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are based upon our current expectations and projections about future events. Whenever used in this report, the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect” and similar expressions, or the negative of such words and expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words or expressions. The forward-looking statements in this report are primarily located in the material set forth under the headings “Description of Business,” “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” but are found in other parts of this report as well. These forward-looking statements generally relate to our plans, objectives and expectations for future operations and are based upon management’s current estimates and projections of future results or trends. Although we believe that our plans and objectives reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we may not achieve these plans or objectives. You should read this report completely and with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We will not update forward-looking statements even though our situation may change in the future.

Specific factors that might cause actual results to differ from our expectations or may affect the value of the common stock, include, but are not limited to:

Changes in local, state or federal laws and regulations governing lending practices, or changes in the interpretation of such laws and regulations

Litigation and regulatory actions directed toward our industry or us, particularly in certain key states

Our need for additional financing, and

Unpredictability or uncertainty in financing markets which could impair our ability to grow our business through acquisitions.

Other factors that could cause actual results to differ from those implied by the forward-looking statements in this report are more fully described in the “Risk Factors” section and of this report.

Industry data and other statistical information used in this report are based on independent publications, government publications, reports by market research firms or other published independent sources. Some data are also based on our good faith estimates, derived from our review of internal surveys and the independent sources listed above. Although we believe these sources are reliable, we have not independently verified the information.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM ON CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Board Directors

Western Capital Resources, Inc.

Omaha, Nebraska

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Western Capital Resources, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit 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 Company’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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Western Capital Resources, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

WESTERN CAPITAL RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.	Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies –

Nature of Business/ Basis of Presentation

Western Capital Resources, Inc. (WCR) through its wholly owned operating subsidiaries, Wyoming Financial Lenders, Inc. (WFL) and PQH, Inc. (PQH), collectively referred to as the Company, provides retail financial services and retail cellular phone sales to individuals primarily in the Midwestern United States. The Company operated 55 “Payday” stores in 10 states (Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, Wisconsin and Wyoming) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, The Company operated 33 Cricket wireless retail stores in seven states (Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska and Texas) as of December 31, 2009 and 11 Cricket wireless retail stores in four states (Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Texas) as of December 31, 2008. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of WCR, WFL, and PQH. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company, through its “payday” division, provides non-recourse cash advance loans, check cashing and other money services. The short-term consumer loans, known as cash advance loans or “payday” loans, are in amounts that typically range from $100 to $500. Cash advance loans provide customers with cash in exchange for a promissory note with a maturity of generally two to four weeks and the customer’s personal check for the aggregate amount of the cash advanced plus a fee. The fee varies from state to state, based on applicable regulations and generally ranges from $15 to $22 per each $100 borrowed. To repay the cash advance loans, customers may pay with cash, in which their personal check is returned to them, or allowing their check to be presented to the bank for collection.

The Company also provides title loans and other ancillary consumer financial products and services that are complementary to its cash advance-lending business, such as check-cashing services, money transfers and money orders. In our check cashing business, we primarily cash payroll checks, but we also cash government assistance, tax refund and insurance checks or drafts. Our fees for cashing payroll checks average approximately 2.5% of the face amount of the check, subject to local market conditions, and this fee is deducted from the cash given to the customer for the check. We display our check cashing fees in full view of our customers on a menu board in each store and provide a detailed receipt for each transaction. Although we have established guidelines for approving check-cashing transactions, we have no preset limit on the size of the checks we will cash.

Our loans and other related services are subject to state regulations (which vary from state to state), federal regulations and local regulations, where applicable.

The Company also operates a Cricket Wireless Retail division that is a premier dealer for Cricket Wireless, Inc. reselling cellular phones and accessories and accepting service payments from Cricket customers.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect certain reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant management estimates relate to the allowance for loans receivable, allocation of and carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets, and deferred taxes and tax uncertainties.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes fees on cash advance loans on a constant-yield basis ratably over the loans’ terms. Title loan fees are recognized using the interest method. The Company records revenue from check cashing fees, sales of phones, and accessories and fees from all other services in the period in which the sale or service is completed.

Loans Receivable / Loan Loss Allowance

We maintain a loan loss allowance for anticipated losses for our cash advance and title loans. To estimate the appropriate level of the loan loss allowance, we consider the amount of outstanding loans owed to us, historical loans charged off, current and expected collection patterns and current economic trends. Our current loan loss allowance is based on our net write offs, typically expressed as a percentage of loan amounts originated for the last 12 months applied against the principal balance of outstanding loans that we write off. The Company also periodically performs a look-back analysis on its loan loss allowance to verify the historical allowance established tracks with the actual subsequent loan write-offs and recoveries. The Company is aware that as conditions change, it may also need to make additional allowances in future periods.

Included in loans receivable are cash advance loans that are currently due or past due and cash advance loans that have not been repaid. This generally is evidenced where a customer’s personal check has been deposited and the check has been returned due to non-sufficient funds in the customer’s account, a closed account, or other reasons. Cash advance loans are carried at cost less the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company does not specifically reserve for any individual cash advance loan. The Company aggregates cash advance loans for purposes of estimating the loss allowance using a methodology that analyzes historical portfolio statistics and management’s judgment regarding recent trends noted in the portfolio. This methodology takes into account several factors, including the maturity of the store location and charge-off and recovery rates. The Company utilizes a software program to assist with the tracking of its historical portfolio statistics. As a result of the Company’s collection efforts, it historically writes off approximately 45% of the returned items. Based on days past the check return date, write-offs of returned items historically have tracked at the following approximately percentages: 1 to 30 days – 45%; 31 to 60 days – 68%; 61 to 90 days – 84%; 91 to 120 days – 89%; and 121 to 180 days – 91%. All returned items are charged-off after 180 days, as collections after that date have not been significant. The loan loss allowance is reviewed monthly and any adjustment to the loan loss allowance as a result of historical loan performance, current and expected collection patterns and current economic trends is recorded.

A rollforward of the Company’s loans receivable allowance for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2009			2008
Loans receivable allowance, beginning of year	$	1,413,000		$	976,000
Provision for loan losses charged to expense Continuing operations		1,552,000			1,884,000
Discontinued operations					266,000
Charge-offs, net		(1,728,000	)		(1,713,000	)
Loans receivable allowance, end of year	$	1,237,000		$	1,413,000

Inventory

Inventory, consisting of phones and accessories, is stated at cost, determined on the specific identification and a first-in, first-out basis, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Useful lives generally range from five to seven years for furniture, equipment, and vehicles. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the related assets or the leases term, and this amortization is included with depreciation.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired using purchase accounting and is not amortized.

F-7

WESTERN CAPITAL RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Intangible Assets

Customer relationships represent the fair values management assigned to relationships with customers acquired through business acquisitions and is amortized over three years on an accelerated basis based on management’s estimates of attrition of the acquired customers.

Long- Lived Assets

Goodwill is reviewed, at least annually, for impairment. Property and equipment and customer relationships are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if an asset’s carrying value is not recoverable and its fair value is less than the carrying value.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and loans receivable. The Company’s cash is placed with high quality financial institutions. From time to time, cash balances exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any significant losses with respect to its cash. Loans receivable, while concentrated in geographical areas, are dispersed among numerous customers.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable in the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents taxes paid or payable for the current year and changes during the year in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders’ by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potentially dilutive common share equivalents (stock options, stock warrants, convertible preferred shares) when dilutive. The following potentially dilutive securities were anti-dilutive and therefore excluded from the dilutive net loss per share computation:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2009		2008
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock		10,000,000		10,000,000
Stock warrants		-		400,000
		10,000,000		10,400,000

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, loans receivable, stock subscriptions receivable notes payable, and accounts payable are short-term in nature and their carrying values approximate fair values.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On September 15, 2009, WCR adopted changes issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) to the authoritative hierarchy of GAAP issued in June 2009. These changes establish the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (“Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates. Accounting Standards Updates will not be authoritative in their own right as they will only serve to update the ASC. These changes and the ASC itself do not change GAAP. Other than the manner in which new accounting guidance is referenced, the adoption of these changes had no impact on the Financial Statements.

F-8

WESTERN CAPITAL RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On September 15, 2009, WCR adopted new accounting guidance on codification referencing that encourages the use of plain English to describe broad accounting topic areas in an attempt to make financial statements more useful to users and more clearly explain accounting concepts. As the guidance was not intended to change or alter existing GAAP, it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued new standards on fair value measurements. This standard establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework and expands disclosures about the use of fair value measurement. This standard emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, as opposed to a transaction-specific measurement. We adopted this standard at the beginning of 2009 for financial assets and liabilities and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We will adopt this standard at the beginning of 2010 for non-financial assets and liabilities and do not expect it to have a material effect on our financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued new standards on Business Combinations. This new standard broadens previous guidance by extending its applicability to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. It also broadens the fair value measurement and recognition of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and interests transferred as a result of business combinations. Further, it expands on required disclosures to improve the statement users' abilities to evaluate the nature and financial effects of business combinations. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted the new standard with no material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued new standards on Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. The new standard changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interest and classified as a component of equity. This new consolidation method significantly changes the accounting for transactions with minority interest holders. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted the new standard with no material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued new guidance on Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. The new guidance amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,". This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or within a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions. The new guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the new guidance with no material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

13.	Risks Inherent in the Operating Environment –

The Company’s payday or short-term consumer loan activities are regulated under numerous local, state, and federal laws and regulations, which are subject to change. New laws or regulations could be enacted that could have a negative impact on the Company’s lending activities. Over the past few years, consumer advocacy groups and certain media reports have advocated governmental and regulatory action to prohibit or severely restrict deferred presentment cash advances.

The Federal Trade Commission has issued an FTC Consumer Alert (Federal Trade Commission, March 2008, Consumer Alert entitled “Payday Loans Equal Very Costly Cash: Consumers Urged to Consider the Alternatives”) that discourages consumers from obtaining payday loans such as the loans we offer, primarily on the basis that the types of loans we offer are very costly and consumers should consider alternatives to accepting a payday loan. For further information, you may obtain a copy of the alert at www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/alerts/alt060.shtm. The federal government has recently passed legislation, the 2007 Military Authorization Act, prohibiting us from offering or making our loans to members of the military when the interest and fees calculated as an annual percentage rate exceed 36%. This limitation effectively prohibits us from utilizing our present business model for cash advance or “payday” lending when dealing with members of the U.S. military, and as a result we do not and do not plan to conduct payday lending business with U.S. military personnel. These facts evidence the widespread belief that our charges relating to our loans are too expensive to be good for consumers. Some consumer advocates and others have characterized payday lending as “predatory.” As a result, there are frequently attempts in the various state legislatures, and occasionally in the U.S. Congress, to limit, restrict or prohibit payday lending.

In February 2009, Congress introduced H.R. 1214, (the Payday Loan Reform Act of 2009, (an amendment to the Truth in Lending Act). If enacted, this amendment would restrict charges for a single-payment loan to a 391% effective annual rate, or $15 per $100for a two-week loan, prohibit loan rollovers, limit borrowers to one outstanding loan at a time and permit only one extended repayment plan every six months. Presently, the bill is in the House Financing Committee. We have no further information regarding this bill or any legislative efforts Congress may propose at this time.

The passage of these bills into law, or similar bills at state levels, would essentially prohibit the Company from conducting its payday lending business in its current form, and would certainly have a material and adverse effect on the Company, operating results, financial condition and prospects and even its viability.

Negative perception of payday lending could also result in increased regulatory scrutiny and increased litigation and encourage restrictive local zoning rules, making it more difficult to obtain the government approvals necessary to continue operating existing stores or open new short-term consumer loan stores.

16.	Settlement Agreement with former Chief Executive Officer–

On May 1, 2009 the Company entered into a settlement agreement with its former Chief Executive Officer to settle certain disputes. In addition, the settlement agreement required the former Chief Executive Officer to place all 550,000 shares of Company common stock outstanding in his name into an escrow arrangement that will result in either complete redemption of those shares or the release of those shares back to him under certain circumstances.

17.	Subsequent Events –

Definitive Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement

On February 23, 2010, WERCS entered into a definitive Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement by and between WERCS, and WCR Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation, pursuant to which WERCS has agreed to sell to WCR Acquisition, Inc. all shares of the Common Stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company owned by WERCS. The parties later agreed to the assignment of the purchase rights to WCR, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, pursuant to an amendment to the Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement . The sale of these shares is scheduled to close on the later of March 31, 2010 or two business days after the satisfaction or waiver of all applicable closing conditions set forth in the Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement, including conditions that the Company’s Articles of Incorporation be amended so that the provisions of the Minnesota Control Share Acquisition Act do not apply to the sale of such shares to WCR, LLC and that three of the four existing directors of the Company resign from the Company’s Board of Directors. It is anticipated that the resigning directors will be replaced by persons designated by WCR, LLC.

Litigation Matter

On March 26, 2010, the Company and all of the members of its Board of Directors, among others, were sued by former members of our management team, Messrs. Steven Staehr and David Stueve. In that lawsuit, the plaintiffs have alleged, among other things, that our Board of Directors have breached certain of their fiduciary duties primarily in connection with the proposed sale by WERCS of its capital stock in the Company to WCR, LLC. The Company believes the lawsuit is entirely meritless. While we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these claims and proceedings, management believes there is not a reasonable possibility that the costs and liabilities of such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Special Shareholder Meeting

The amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, is a condition to the sale by WERCS of all of its Company common stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to WCR, LLC, pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement by and among WERCS and WCR, LLC. A copy of the Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement is publicly available as Exhibit B to the Schedule 13D/A filed by WERCS with the SEC on February 24, 2010. In addition, there are other conditions to the closing of the sale by WERCS of its capital stock to WCR, LLC under the Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement, including:

•

the resignation of specified members of our board of directors;

WERCS Financing Arrangement

On March 30, 2010, the Company received a commitment letter from WERCS agreeing to provide a Business Loan Agreement to the Company to replace the existing Banco Popular Business Loan Agreement and associated agreements. Under the anticipated agreements with WERCS, an amount up to the unpaid balance of the existing Banco Popular note may be borrowed at an interest rate of 12% payable monthly, with principal due one year from the date of the loan, and the note secured by a grant of a security interest covering substantially all of the assets of the Company. Other than the repayment terms, interest rate, and the change in collateral, all other terms and conditions are expected to be substantially similar to those of the Banco Popular Business Loan Agreement and associated agreements.

Dividend Declaration and Payment

In 2010, the unaccrued and unpaid dividend of $525,000 at December 31, 2009 was declared. Subsequent to December 31, 2009, preferred dividend payments of $1,250,000 have been made.

ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance the objectives of the control system are met.

As of December 31, 2009, our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of December 31, 2009.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a set of processes designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:

pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets

provide reasonable assurance our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statement.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. It should be noted that any system of internal control, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company’s management assessed the design and operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 based on the framework set forth in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Based on this assessment, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2009. Lurie, Besikof, Lapidus, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, is not required to issue, and thus has not issued, an attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect such controls, except as described below.

During the fiscal quarter covered by this report, we completed integrating, and incorporating as part of our internal controls: (i) the operations acquired from PQH Wireless, Inc. during the last fiscal quarter of 2008 and (ii) the operations of our Cricket Wireless stores acquired (or whose operations commenced) during the fiscal quarter covered by this report.

In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, we identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and a related remediation plan. We have completed our remediation plan as outlined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 by taking steps to:

	·	increase the frequency of our Board of Directors and Audit Committee meetings to more actively engage those bodies in the oversight of our internal controls and the review of complex or unusual accounting transactions;
	·	provide a mechanism for the submission of anonymous reports, relating to accounting or audit irregularities, directly to our Audit Committee chair and legal counsel;
	·	provide our internal audit consultant with direct access to our Audit Committee chairperson;
	·	include our internal audit consultant in quarterly meetings of our Audit Committee to provide a status update on the effectiveness of our internal controls;
	·	conduct additional training on internal controls for our management, financial reporting and operations staff, including our Chief Executive Officer’s emphasis on the importance of complying with our internal control framework;
	·	integrate our PQH Wireless division’s operations into our centralized payroll, expenditures, information technology, revenue and financial reporting processes;
	·	execute timely preparation of balance sheet account reconciliations accompanied by sufficient supporting documentation and review and approval for validity, completeness and accuracy performed by a member of accounting management;
	·	formalize journal entry preparation and review process to include sufficient supporting documentation and proper review and approval prior to recording;
	·	implement a structured financial reporting process that includes properly segregated duties, close calendar and schedule of required tasks and internal controls;
	·	improve our expenditures process to require contracts for services, expense report support and approval, approval of our Chief Executive Officer’s expense reports by the Audit Committee chairperson, invoice approval prior to vouchering and disbursement, budget-to-actual reviews each quarter with root cause analysis performed for significant variances;
	·	implement a formalized impairment analysis process, and process to analyze the appropriate accounting treatment for intangibles and goodwill in future acquisitions;
	·	launch an automated timekeeping system with built-in features to route timesheets for supervisor approval;
	·	design an automated system to track inventory for our PQH Wireless division;
	·	utilize our in-house tax expertise, and supplement with outsourced professionals as necessary, to prepare the income tax provisions, tax returns, and timely submission of tax payments, when required;
	·	implement a procedure that ensures timely review of the financial statements by our Chief Executive Officer and the Audit Committee prior to filing with the SEC;
	·	implement a reporting tool with our upgraded financial software application to produce the consolidated balance sheet and income statement in an automated manner; and
	·	generally improve the segregation of duties within the financial reporting, information technology, payroll and expenditures processes.

Our efforts to remediate the material weaknesses identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and to enhance our overall control environment have been regularly reviewed with, and monitored by, our Audit Committee. We believe the remediation measures described above have been successful in correcting and remediating the material weaknesses previously identified and have strengthened and enhanced our internal control over financial reporting.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and includes general voting power and/or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options or warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the record rate, and shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of other securities currently convertible or convertible within 60 days, are deemed outstanding for computing the beneficial ownership percentage of the person holding such securities but are not deemed outstanding for computing the beneficial ownership percentage of any other person. Under the applicable SEC rules, each person’s beneficial ownership is calculated by dividing the total number of shares with respect to which they possess beneficial ownership by the total number of outstanding shares of the Company. In any case where an individual has beneficial ownership over securities that are not outstanding, but are issuable upon the exercise of options or warrants or similar rights within the next 60 days, that same number of shares is added to the denominator in the calculation described above. Because the calculation of each person’s beneficial ownership set forth in the “Percentage of Common Shares” column of the table may include shares that are not presently outstanding, the sum total of the percentages set forth in such column may exceed 100%.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND TRANSACTIONS

Settlement Agreement

On May 1, 2009, we entered into a Settlement Agreement with Christopher Larson, our former Chief Executive Officer. Also parties to the Settlement Agreement were Wyoming Financial Lenders, Inc. (our payday lending subsidiary), WERCS (our controlling shareholder), John Quandahl (our current Chief Executive Officer), and National Cash & Credit, LLC (formerly a subsidiary of ours, but now wholly owned by Christopher Larson). We entered into the Settlement Agreement to settle certain disputes that we had with Mr. Larson which related primarily to (i) disbursements made to him during 2008, either by him or at his direction, that were supposed to have been reimbursements for expenses he incurred in 2007 and 2008 in connection with the Merger transaction or otherwise, (ii) increases in salary payments to him and other members of management during 2008, (iii) certain payments made to third parties at his direction during 2008, and (iv) certain other transactions effected at our National Cash & Credit subsidiary during 2008, together with the manner in which those transactions were reflected on the books of National Cash & Credit.

The disputes that we settled pursuant to the Settlement Agreement arose in connection with our internal review, begun by our current management and eventually conducted under the supervision of our Board of Directors, of the above-described matters together with certain other transactions. We filed a Current Report on Form 8-K on March 31, 2009 that disclosed and briefly described the subject matter of our review.

Under the Settlement Agreement, Western Capital, together with Wyoming Financial Lenders, WERCS and John Quandahl (collectively, the “Western Parties”), fully released Mr. Larson and National Cash & Credit (together, the “Larson Parties”) from any and all claims, known and unknown, and the Larson Parties similarly fully released the Western Parties from any and all claims, known and unknown. In addition, the Settlement Agreement required Mr. Larson to place all 550,000 shares of his common stock in the Company in an escrow arrangement that will result in either the complete redemption of those shares or the release of those shares back to him under certain circumstances. In particular:

The Settlement Agreement also contained certain other terms, including our transfer to Mr. Larson of certain bad debt receivables formerly associated with WCR Acquisition Co., a Minnesota corporation through which we had purchased, on July 31, 2008, certain payday lending assets owned indirectly by STEN Corporation. We had obtained the receivables prior to transferring to Mr. Larson our entire ownership interest in WCR Acquisition Co. in connection with our December 31, 2008 Redemption Agreement with him. In addition, the Settlement Agreement contained our agreement not to alter our articles of incorporation or corporate bylaws in such a manner as to compromise Mr. Larson’s right to claim indemnification from the Company.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

The Company does not have a standing nominating committee. Instead, the entire Board of Directors shares the responsibility of identifying potential director-nominees to serve on the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors does have a standing Compensation Committee and Audit Committee. The Compensation Committee is composed of Messrs. Mandel and Houlton, with Mr. Houlton serving as the chairperson. The Audit Committee is composed of Messrs. Mandel and Houlton, with Mr. Mandel serving as the chairperson. Each committee formerly had a third director serving on it, but that director resigned in March 2009. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Mandel is “independent,” as such term is defined in Section 4200(a)(15) of National Association of Securities Dealers’ listing standards, and meets the criteria for independence set forth in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Exchange Act. The preceding disclosure respecting director independence is required under applicable SEC rules. However, as a corporation whose shares are listed for trading on the OTCBB, the Company is not required to have any independent directors at all on its Board of Directors, or any independent directors serving on any particular committees of the Board of Directors.
