NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2013 and 2012

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements of the Company at June 30, 2013, and for the three months then ended were prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of items of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at June 30, 2013, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, have been included. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other interim period.

Certain reclassification entries have been made for fiscal 2013 to conform to fiscal 2014 presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss) or net income.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, included in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report to Shareholders.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-2, which requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. The new guidance requires an entity to disaggregate the total change of each component of other comprehensive income either on the face of the income statement or as a separate disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. The amendments in ASU 2013-02 do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. ASU 2013-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-2 on April 1, 2013 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards to be Adopted

We reviewed significant newly issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they are either not applicable to our business or that no material effect is expected on the financial statements as a result of future adoption.

NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE

Fair Value Disclosures

The Company carries certain financial instruments, derivative assets and liabilities, at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are grouped in three levels. The levels prioritize the inputs used to measure the fair value of the assets or liabilities. These levels are:


•	Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


•	Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in market that are less active.


•	Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

As of June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the Company had no financial assets or liabilities that were measured at fair market value.

Fair Value of Long-Term Debt

The book value and estimated fair value of our long-term debt was as follows (in thousands):



	June 30, 2013		March 31, 2013
Book value:
Senior note payable	$	448,950	400,250
Estimated fair value:
Senior note payable	$	448,950	400,250

The carrying value of the senior note payable approximated its fair value, as the senior note payable is at a variable interest rate.

Other

There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2013 or March 31, 2013.

The Company has a 2002 Stock Option Plan, a 2005 Stock Option Plan, a 2008 Stock Option Plan, and a 2011 Stock Option Plan for the benefit of certain directors, officers, and key employees. Under these plans, 4,100,000 shares of authorized common stock have been reserved for issuance pursuant to grants approved by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors. Stock options granted under these plans have a maximum duration of 10 years, may be subject to certain vesting requirements, which are generally five years for officers, directors, and key employees, and are priced at the market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant of the option. At June 30, 2013, there were 407,288 shares available for grant under the plans.

Stock based compensation is recognized as provided under FASB ASC Topic 718-10 and FASB ASC Topic 505-50. FASB ASC Topic 718-10 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period) in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. The impact of forfeitures that may occur prior to vesting is also estimated and considered in the amount recognized. Stock option compensation is recognized as an expense over the unvested portion of all stock option awards granted based on the fair values estimated at grant date in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718-10. The Company has applied the Black-Scholes valuation model in determining the fair value of the stock option awards. Compensation expense is recognized only for those options expected to vest, with forfeitures estimated based on historical experience and future expectations.

There were no option grants during the quarters ended June 30, 2013 or June 30, 2012.

Option activity for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was as follows:



	Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Options outstanding, beginning of year	1,249,585		$	54.90
Granted	—		—
Exercised	(22,675	)	45.28
Forfeited	(10,100	)	50.88
Expired	—		—
Options outstanding, end of period	1,216,810		$	55.12	7.76	$	38,724,733
Options exercisable, end of period	182,630		$	31.47	4.00	$	10,130,242

The aggregate intrinsic value reflected in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the closing stock price on June 30, 2013 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of June 30, 2013. This amount will change as the stock’s market price changes. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was as follows:



	June 30, 2013		June 30, 2012
Three months ended	$	1,043,402	$	2,739,530

As of June 30, 2013, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock options amounted to approximately $21.6 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.9 years.

Compensation expense related to restricted stock is based on the number of shares expected to vest and the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date. The Company recognized approximately $2.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 related to restricted stock, which is included as a component of general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. For purposes of accruing the expense, all shares are expected to vest.

As of June 30, 2013, there was approximately $33.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards granted, which is expected to be recognized over the next 3.3 years.

A summary of the status of the Company’s restricted stock as of June 30, 2013, and changes during the three months ended June 30, 2013, are presented below:

Total share-based compensation related to equity classified awards	$	4,684,900	2,365,913

NOTE 7 – ACQUISITIONS

The Company evaluates each acquisition to determine if the acquired enterprise meets the definition of a business. Those acquired enterprises that meet the definition of a business are accounted for as a business combination under FASB ASC Topic 805-10 and all other acquisitions are accounted for as asset purchases. All acquisitions have been from independent third parties.

Table of Contents

The following table sets forth the acquisition activity of the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:



	2013		2012
Number of business combinations	1		1
Number of asset purchases	4		—
Total acquisitions	5		1

Purchase Price	$	891,328	260,295
Tangible assets:
Net loans	636,627		238,339
Furniture, fixtures & equipment	1,500		—
	638,127		238,339

Excess of purchase prices over carrying value of net tangible assets	$	253,201	21,956

Customer lists	157,363		16,956
Non-compete agreements	25,000		5,000
Goodwill	70,838		—

Total intangible assets	$	253,201	21,956

When the acquisition results in a new office, the Company records the transaction as a business combination, since the office acquired will continue to generate loans. The Company typically retains the existing employees and the office location. The purchase price is allocated to the estimated fair value of the tangible assets acquired and to the estimated fair value of the identified intangible assets acquired (generally non-compete agreements and customer lists). The remainder is allocated to goodwill. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, one acquisition was recorded as a business combination.

When the acquisition is of a portfolio of loans only, the Company records the transaction as an asset purchase. In an asset purchase, no goodwill is recorded. The purchase price is allocated to the estimated fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. There were four acquisitions recorded as asset acquisitions during the three months ended June 30, 2013.

The Company’s acquisitions include tangible assets (generally loans and furniture and equipment) and intangible assets (generally non-compete agreements, customer lists, and goodwill), both of which are recorded at their fair values, which are estimated pursuant to the processes described below.

Acquired loans are valued at the net loan balance. Given the short-term nature of these loans, generally eight months, and that these loans are subject to continual repricing at current rates, management believes the net loan balances approximate their fair value.

Furniture and equipment are valued at the specific purchase price as agreed to by both parties at the time of acquisition, which management believes approximates their fair values.

Non-compete agreements are valued at the stated amount paid to the other party for these agreements, which the Company believes approximates the fair value. The fair value of the customer lists is based on a valuation model that utilizes the Company’s historical data to estimate the value of any acquired customer lists. In a business combination the remaining excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the tangible assets, customer list, and non-compete agreements is allocated to goodwill. The offices the Company acquires are small privately owned offices, which do not have sufficient historical data to determine attrition. The Company believes that the customers acquired have the same characteristics and perform similarly to its customers. Therefore, the Company utilized the attrition patterns of its customers when developing the method. This method is re-evaluated periodically.

Table of Contents

Customer lists are allocated at an office level and are evaluated for impairment at an office level when a triggering event occurs, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360-10-5. If a triggering event occurs, the impairment loss to the customer list is generally the remaining unamortized customer list balance. In most acquisitions, the original fair value of the customer list allocated to an office is less than $100,000, and management believes that in the event a triggering event were to occur, the impairment loss to an unamortized customer list would be immaterial.

The results of all acquisitions have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the respective acquisition dates. The pro forma impact of these purchases as though they had been acquired at the beginning of the periods presented would not have a material effect on the consolidated results of operations as reported.

NOTE 8 – DEBT

The Company's note payable consists of a $680.0 million senior note payable revolving credit facility with $449.0 million outstanding at June 30, 2013. Subject to a borrowing base formula, the Company may borrow at the rate of LIBOR plus 3.0% with a minimum of 4.0%. At June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the Company’s effective interest rate, including the commitment fee, was 4.5% and 5.1%, respectively, and the unused amount available under the revolver at June 30, 2013 was $156.3 million. The Company also had $74.7 million that may become available under the revolving credit facility if it grows the net eligible finance receivables. The revolving credit facility has a commitment fee of 0.40% per annum on the unused portion of the commitment. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility mature on November 19, 2014.

Substantially all of the Company’s assets are pledged as collateral for borrowings under the revolving credit agreement.

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES

The Company is required to assess whether the earnings of our two Mexican foreign subsidiaries, Servicios World Acceptance Corporation de México, S. de R.L. de C.V. (“SWAC”) and WAC de México, S.A. de C.V., SOFOM ENR (“WAC de Mexico”), will be permanently reinvested in the respective foreign jurisdiction or if previously untaxed foreign earnings of the Company will no longer be permanently reinvested and thus become taxable in the United States. If these earnings were ever repatriated to the United States, the Company would be required to accrue and pay taxes on the cumulative undistributed earnings. As of June 30, 2013, the Company has determined that approximately $1.1 million of cumulative undistributed net earnings of SWAC and approximately $8.9 million of cumulative undistributed net earnings of WAC de México, as well as the future net earnings and losses of both foreign subsidiaries, will be permanently reinvested.

As of June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the Company had $3.3 million and $3.2 million, respectively, of total gross unrecognized tax benefits including interest. Approximately $1.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively, represent the amount of net unrecognized tax benefits that are permanent in nature and, if recognized, would affect the annual effective tax rate. At June 30, 2013, approximately $2.0 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits are expected to be resolved during the next 12 months through the expiration of the statute of limitations and settlement with taxing authorities. The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $475,000 accrued for gross interest, of which $58,000 was a current period end expense.

The Company is subject to U.S. and Mexican income taxes, as well as various other state and local jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2009, although carryforward attributes that were generated prior to 2009 may still be adjusted upon examination by the taxing authorities if they either have been or will be used in a future period.

NOTE 10 – LITIGATION

At June 30, 2013, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries have been named as defendants or are otherwise involved in various legal actions and proceedings arising from their normal business activities, including matters in which damages in various amounts are claimed. In view of the inherent difficulty in predicting the outcome of legal matters, particularly where the claimants seek very large or indeterminate damages, the matters present novel legal theories, potentially involve a large number of parties or are in the early stages, the Company generally cannot predict the eventual outcome of these pending matters, nor the timing of the ultimate resolution of such matters or the eventual loss, fines, penalties, settlement or other impact, if any, related to such matters. The Company does not believe, however, that any reasonably possible losses arising from any currently pending legal matters will be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(3)	Operating income is computed as total revenue less provision for loan losses and general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of total revenue.

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 Versus

Three Months Ended June 30, 2012

Net income increased to $23.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, or 2.2%, from the three month period ended June 30, 2012. Operating income (revenue less provision for loan losses and general and administrative expenses) increased approximately $1.3 million, or 3.2%, interest expense increased by approximately $0.8 million, or 19.1%, and income tax expense increased by $16,000, or 0.1%.

Total revenue rose to $145.3 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2013, a 9.4% increase over the $132.8 million for the corresponding quarter of the previous year. This increase is consistent with the 8.9% increase in average net loans. Revenue from the 1,132 offices open throughout both quarterly periods increased by approximately 7.9%. At June 30, 2013, the Company had 1,210 offices in operation, an increase of seven offices from March 31, 2013.

Interest and fee income for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 increased by $12.7 million, or 11.0%, over the same period of the prior year. This increase resulted from a $65.2 million increase, or 8.9%, in average net loans receivable over the two corresponding periods.

Table of Contents

Insurance commissions and other income decreased by approximately $250,000, or 1.4%, between the two quarterly periods. Insurance commissions decreased by approximately $47,000, or 0.4%, during the most recent quarter when compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease was attributed to a change in the Tennessee law, which resulted in a $200,000 reduction in insurance commissions. This decrease was offset by increased sales in the remaining states that offer ancillary products. Other income decreased by approximately $203,000, or 4.0%, due to decreasing the motor club policy's term that a customer can purchase.

The provision for loan losses during the three months ended June 30, 2013 increased by $5.1 million, or 21.5%. This increase resulted from an increase in the amount of loans charged off and an increase in the general reserve associated with the increase in the gross loans when comparing the two periods. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average net loans increased from 12.2% to 13.5% (annualized) when comparing the two quarter end periods. After 15 straight quarters of year over year declines in our quarterly net charge-offs, this is the second consecutive quarter where this ratio has increased. During the last 11 years, there have been three first quarters with charge-off ratios at or above the current level, and the 13.5% is not at unprecedented levels. Accounts that were 61+ days past due increased from 2.6% to 2.8% of gross loans on a recency basis and increased from 3.8% to 4.2% on a contractual basis when comparing the two quarter-end statistics.

General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 increased by $6.1 million, or 8.9% over the same quarter of fiscal 2013. Of the total increase, approximately, $5.0 million related to personnel expense, the majority of which was attributable to the year-over-year increase in our branch network, normal merit increases to employees, and incentive costs, including stock compensation expense, which increased approximately $2.3 million when comparing the two quarter end periods. Overall, general and administrative expenses, when divided by average open offices, increased by approximately 2.8% when comparing the two periods. The total general and administrative expense as a percent of total revenue was 51.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and was 52.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Interest expense increased by approximately $0.8 million when comparing the two corresponding quarterly periods as a result of a 35.0% increase in the average debt balance, offset by a decrease in the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate decreased from 5.1% to 4.5% during the current quarter. During the prior year quarter the Company recorded $125,000 to interest expense related to the prepayment penalty for its junior subordinate note which was paid in full on May 1, 2012. In addition, approximately $430,000 of loan costs relating to the junior subordinate debt were written off and charged to interest expense. Excluding these two items the effective interest rate for the prior year quarter would have been 4.4%.

The Company’s effective income tax rate decreased to 36.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared to 37.4% for the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in Mexican permanent deductions in the current period.

Regulatory Matters

Missouri Ballot Initiative

As previously disclosed, the proponents of a 2012 ballot initiative to limit consumer loan annual interest rates in Missouri to 36% failed to secure inclusion of this initiative on Missouri's November 2012 general election ballot. On November 21, 2012, the proponents filed an identical ballot initiative to have the limitation placed on the November 2014 ballot. The Company, through its state and federal trade associations, is working in opposition to this new ballot initiative; however, it is uncertain whether these efforts will be successful in preventing the initiative from being placed on the November 2014 election ballot or in defeating the initiative if it is ultimately placed on the ballot. As discussed further in the Company's report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 and the Company's other reports filed with or furnished to the SEC from time to time, the Company's operations are subject to extensive state and federal laws and regulations, and changes in those laws or regulations or their application could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, prospects or ability to continue operations in the jurisdictions affected by these changes. See Part I, Item 1, “Description of Business-Government Regulation” and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company's report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 for more information regarding these regulations and related risks and the Company's Form 8-K filed August 2, 2012 for more information regarding the potential impact of adoption of such a ballot initiative in Missouri.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s accounting and reporting policies are in accordance with U. S. GAAP and conform to general practices within the finance company industry. Certain accounting policies involve significant judgment by the Company’s management, including the use of estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. As a result, changes in these estimates and assumptions could significantly affect the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The Company considers its policies regarding the allowance for loan losses, share-based compensation and income taxes to be its most critical accounting policies due to the significant degree of management judgment involved.

Table of Contents

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company has developed a process and procedures for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses that take into consideration various assumptions and estimates with respect to the loan portfolio. The Company’s assumptions and estimates may be affected in the future by changes in economic conditions, among other factors. Additional information concerning the allowance for loan losses is discussed under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations - Credit Quality,” and under Part II Item 9A, "Controls and Procedures" and Item 9A(1), "Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting" in the Company’s report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company measures compensation cost for share-based awards at fair value and recognizes compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of restricted stock is based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock, and the fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Black-Scholes model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected life, changes to which can materially affect the fair value estimate. In addition, the estimation of share-based awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Company’s current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. The Company considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards and historical experience. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially from the Company’s current estimates.

Income Taxes

Management uses certain assumptions and estimates in determining income taxes payable or refundable, deferred income tax liabilities and assets for events recognized differently in its financial statements and income tax returns, and income tax expense. Determining these amounts requires analysis of certain transactions and interpretation of tax laws and regulations. Management exercises considerable judgment in evaluating the amount and timing of recognition of the resulting income tax liabilities and assets. These judgments and estimates are re-evaluated on a periodic basis as regulatory and business factors change.

No assurance can be given that either the tax returns submitted by management or the income tax reported on the Consolidated Financial Statements will not be adjusted by either adverse rulings by the U.S. Tax Court, changes in the tax code, or assessments made by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), state taxing authorities, or Mexico taxing authorities. The Company is subject to potential adverse adjustments, including but not limited to: an increase in the statutory federal or state income tax rates, the permanent non-deductibility of amounts currently considered deductible either now or in future periods, and the dependency on the generation of future taxable income, including capital gains, in order to ultimately realize deferred income tax assets.

Under FASB ASC Topic 740, the Company will include the current and deferred tax impact of its tax positions in the financial statements when it is more likely than not (likelihood of greater than 50%) that such positions will be sustained by taxing authorities, with full knowledge of relevant information, based on the technical merits of the tax position. While the Company supports its tax positions by unambiguous tax law, prior experience with the taxing authority, and analysis of what it considers to be all relevant facts, circumstances and regulations, management must still rely on assumptions and estimates to determine the overall likelihood of success and proper quantification of a given tax position.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has financed and continues to finance its operations, acquisitions and office expansion through a combination of cash flows from operations and borrowings from its institutional lenders. The Company has generally applied its cash flows from operations to fund its increasing loan volume, fund acquisitions, repay long-term indebtedness, and repurchase its common stock. As the Company's gross loans receivable increased from $671.2 million at March 31, 2009 to $1.1 billion at March 31, 2013, net cash provided by operating activities for fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $232.0 million, $219.4 million and $199.8 million, respectively.

The Company believes stock repurchases to be a viable component of the Company’s long-term financial strategy and an excellent use of excess cash when the opportunity arises. Subject to appropriate authorizations, the Company may use a substantial portion of recent and any future increases under its revolving credit facility (described further below) to fund additional stock repurchases. As of August 2, 2013 (including pending repurchase orders subject to settlement), the Company has $19.8 million in aggregate remaining repurchase capacity under all of the Company’s outstanding stock repurchase authorizations.

Table of Contents

The Company plans to open or acquire at least 60 branches in the United States and 16 branches in Mexico during fiscal 2014. Expenditures by the Company to open and furnish new offices averaged approximately $25,000 per office during fiscal 2013. New offices have also required from $100,000 to $400,000 to fund outstanding loans receivable originated during their first 12 months of operation.

The Company acquired five loan portfolios during the first three months of fiscal 2014. Gross loans receivable purchased in these transactions were approximately $0.8 million in the aggregate at the date of purchase. The Company believes that attractive opportunities to acquire new offices or receivables from its competitors or to acquire offices in communities not currently served by the Company will continue to become available as conditions in local economies and the financial circumstances of owners change.

The Company has a $680.0 million base credit facility with a syndicate of banks. The credit facility will expire on November 19, 2014. Funds borrowed under the revolving credit facility bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus 3.0% per annum with a minimum 4.0% interest rate. During the three months ended, June 30, 2013, the effective interest rate, including the commitment fee, on borrowings under the revolving credit facility was 4.5%. The Company pays a commitment fee equal to 0.40% per annum of the daily unused portion of the commitments unless the unused portion equals or exceeds 55% of the commitments, in which case the fee increases to 0.50% per annum. Amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility may not exceed specified percentages of eligible loans receivable. On June 30, 2013, $449.0 million was outstanding under this facility, and there was $156.3 million of unused borrowing availability under the borrowing base limitations. The Company also has $74.7 million that may become available under the revolving credit facility if it grows the net eligible finance receivables.

The Company's credit agreements contain a number of financial covenants, including minimum net worth and fixed charge coverage requirements. The credit agreements also contain certain other covenants, including covenants that impose limitations on the Company with respect to (i) declaring or paying dividends or making distributions on or acquiring common or preferred stock or warrants or options; (ii) redeeming or purchasing or prepaying principal or interest on subordinated debt; (iii) incurring additional indebtedness; and (iv) entering into a merger, consolidation or sale of substantial assets or subsidiaries. The Company believes that it was in compliance with these agreements as of June 30, 2013, and does not believe that these agreements will materially limit its business and expansion strategy.

The Company believes that cash flow from operations and borrowings under its revolving credit facility or other sources will be adequate to fund the expected cost of opening or acquiring new offices, including funding initial operating losses of new offices and funding loans receivable originated by those offices and the Company's other offices (for the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future beyond that). Except as otherwise discussed in this report and in Part 1, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Form 10-K/A for the year ended March 31, 2013 (as supplemented by any subsequent disclosures in information the Company files with or furnishes to the SEC from time to time, including, but not limited to, any disclosures in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in any of the Company’s Forms 10-Q for quarters ended during fiscal 2014), management is not currently aware of any trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that it believes will or could result in, or are or could be reasonably likely to result in, the Company’s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way. From time to time, the Company has needed and obtained, and expects that it will continue to need on a periodic basis, an increase in the borrowing limits under its revolving credit facility. The Company has successfully obtained such increases in the past and anticipates that it will be able to do so in the future as the need arises; however, there can be no assurance that this additional funding will be available (or available on reasonable terms) if and when needed.

Share Repurchase Program

The Company's long-term profitability has demonstrated over many years our ability to grow our loan portfolio (the Company's only earning asset) and generate excess cash flow. We have and will continue to use our cash flow and excess capital to repurchase shares, assuming that the repurchased shares are accretive to earnings per share, which should provide better returns for shareholders in the future. We prefer share repurchases to dividends for several reasons. First, repurchasing shares should increase the value of the remaining shares. Second, repurchasing shares as opposed to dividends provides shareholders the option to defer taxes by electing to not sell any of their holdings. Finally, repurchasing shares provides shareholders with maximum flexibility to increase, maintain or decrease their ownership depending on their view of the value of the Company's shares, whereas a dividend does not provide this flexibility.

Table of Contents

Since 1996, the Company has repurchased approximately 14.9 million shares for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $581.1 million. As of June 30, 2013 our debt outstanding was $449.0 million and our shareholders' equity was $354.2 million resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.3:1. Our first priority is to ensure we have enough capital to fund loan growth. To the extent we have excess capital we intend to continue repurchasing stock, as authorized by our Board of Directors, which is consistent with our past practice. We will continue to monitor our debt to equity ratio and are committed to maintaining a debt level that will allow us to continue to execute our business objectives, while not putting undue stress on our balance sheet.

Historically, management has filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission to announce any new authorization the Board of Directors has given regarding stock repurchases. Management plans to continue to make filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise publicly announce future stock repurchase authorizations. When we have Board authorization to repurchase shares, we have historically repurchased shares in the open market and in accordance with applicable regulations regarding company repurchase programs and our own self-imposed trading policies. As mentioned above, when we have excess capital and the market price of our stock is trading at a level that is accretive to earnings per share, we anticipate that we will continue to repurchase shares.

Inflation

The Company does not believe that inflation, within reasonably anticipated rates, will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition. Although inflation would increase the Company’s operating costs in absolute terms, the Company expects that the same decrease in the value of money would result in an increase in the size of loans demanded by its customer base. It is reasonable to anticipate that such a change in customer preference would result in an increase in total loans receivable and an increase in absolute revenue to be generated from that larger amount of loans receivable. That increase in absolute revenue should offset any increase in operating costs. In addition, because the Company’s loans have a relatively short contractual term, it is unlikely that loans made at any given point in time will be repaid with significantly inflated dollars.

Quarterly Information and Seasonality

The Company's loan volume and corresponding loans receivable follow seasonal trends. The Company's highest loan demand occurs each year from October through December, its third fiscal quarter. Loan demand is generally the lowest and loan repayment is highest from January to March, its fourth fiscal quarter. Loan volume and average balances remain relatively level during the remainder of the year. This seasonal trend causes fluctuations in the Company's cash needs and quarterly operating performance through corresponding fluctuations in interest and fee income and insurance commissions earned. Consequently, operating results for the Company's third fiscal quarter are significantly lower than in other quarters and operating results for its fourth fiscal quarter are generally higher than in other quarters.

Forward-Looking Information

This report on Form 10-Q, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” contains various “forward-looking statements,” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that are based on management’s belief and assumptions, as well as information currently available to management. Statements other than those of historical fact, as well as those identified by the words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “expect,” “believe,” “may,” “will,” and “should” any variation of the foregoing and similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in any such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Any such statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company’s actual financial results, performance or financial condition may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or expected. Among the key factors that could cause the Company’s actual financial results, performance or condition to differ from the expectations expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements are the following: recently enacted, proposed or future legislation and the manner in which it is implemented; the nature and scope of regulatory authority, particularly discretionary authority, that may be exercised by regulators having jurisdiction over the Company’s business or consumer financial transactions generically; the impact of changes in accounting rules and regulations, or their interpretation or application which could materially and adversely affect the Company's reported financial statements or necessitate material delays or changes in the issuance of the Company's audited financial statements; the Company's assessment of its internal control over financial reporting, and the timing and effectiveness of the Company's efforts to remediate any reported material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting, which could lead to the Company to report further or unremediated material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting; changes in interest rates; risks related to expansion and foreign operations; risks inherent in making loans, including repayment risks and value of collateral; the timing and amount of revenue that may be recognized by the Company; changes in current revenue and expense trends (including trends affecting delinquencies and charge-offs); changes in the Company’s markets and general changes in the economy (particularly in the markets served by the Company); the unpredictable nature of litigation; and other matters discussed in this report and in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the Company’s other reports filed with, or furnished to, the SEC from time to time. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements it makes.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s financial instruments consist of the following: cash and cash equivalents, loans receivable and senior notes payable. Fair value approximates carrying value for all of these instruments. Loans receivable are originated at prevailing market rates and have an average life of approximately eight months. Given the short-term nature of these loans, they are continually repriced at current market rates. The Company’s outstanding debt under its revolving credit facility was $449.0 million at June 30, 2013. At June 30, 2013, interest on borrowings under this facility was based on LIBOR plus 3.0%, with a minimum of 4.0% per annum.

Based on the outstanding balance at June 30, 2013, a change of 1.0% in the interest rates would cause a change in interest expense of approximately $0.9 million on an annual basis.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

In September 2005 the Company began opening offices in Mexico, where its local businesses utilize the Mexican peso as their functional currency. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are denominated in U.S. dollars and are therefore subject to fluctuation as the U.S. dollar and Mexican peso foreign exchange rates change. International revenue from our non-U.S. operations accounted for approximately 8.7% and 7.0% of total revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. There have been, and there may continue to be, period-to-period fluctuations in the relative portions of our international revenue to total consolidated revenue.

Table of Contents

Our international operations are subject to risks, including but not limited to differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, social unrest, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions, and foreign exchange rate volatility. Accordingly, our future consolidated financial position as well as our consolidated results of operations results could be adversely affected by changes in these or other factors. Foreign exchange rate fluctuations may adversely impact our financial position as the assets and liabilities of our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars in preparing our consolidated balance sheet. Our exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations arises in part from balances in our intercompany accounts included on our subsidiary balance sheets. These intercompany accounts are denominated in the functional currency of the foreign subsidiaries and are translated to U.S. dollars at each reporting period end. Additionally, foreign exchange rate fluctuations may impact our consolidated results from operations as exchange rate fluctuations will impact the amounts reported in our consolidated statement of income. The effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our consolidated financial position is recognized within shareholders’ equity through accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The net translation adjustment for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was a loss of approximately $3.0 million. The Company’s foreign currency exchange rate exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material effect on the Company’s financial results. The Company will continue to monitor and assess the effect of foreign currency fluctuations and may institute hedging strategies.

The Company performs a foreign exchange sensitivity analysis on a quarterly basis which assumes a hypothetical 10% increase and decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the Mexican peso. The foreign exchange risk sensitivity of both net loans receivable and consolidated net income is assessed using hypothetical scenarios and assumes that earnings in Mexican pesos are recognized evenly throughout a period. The actual results may differ from the results noted in the tables below particularly due to assumptions utilized or if events occur that were not included in the methodology.

The foreign exchange risk sensitivity of net loans denominated in Mexican pesos and translated into US dollars, which were approximately $54.1 million and $38.1 million at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, on the reported net loans receivable amount is summarized in the following table:

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting, except for the Company's previously reported material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2013, as reported on in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended March 31, 2013, and the related remediation efforts management commenced in the first quarter of Fiscal 2014 related to this material weakness. Following management's determination of the material weakness, management promptly began taking the following remedial actions:


•	The Company has enhanced its documented process for addressing the establishment of the allowance for loan losses, including the assumptions underlying the allowance for loan losses and how management reviews and concludes on the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses; and


•	The Company is in the process of establishing a control to assess whether the accounting treatment of renewals are in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the impact, if any, renewals have on the estimate of the allowance for loan losses

Management anticipates that these remedial actions will strengthen the Company's internal control over financial reporting and will, over time, address the material weakness that was identified as of March 31, 2013. Because some of these remedial actions will take place on a quarterly basis, their successful implementation may need to be evaluated over several quarters before management is able to conclude that the material weakness has been remediated.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2013, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation and the identification of a material weakness in the Company's internal control over financial reporting as described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended March 31, 2013, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time the Company is involved in routine litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. While the outcome of litigation is by its nature uncertain, based on current knowledge the Company does not believe that it is presently a party to any such pending legal proceedings that would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition. See Note 10 of the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed under Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended March 31, 2013.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The Company's credit agreements contain certain restrictions on the payment of cash dividends on its capital stock. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources."

On May 21, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $50.0 million of the Company’s common stock. This repurchase authorization follows, and is in addition to, a similar repurchase authorization of $25.0 million announced on February 27, 2013. After taking into account all shares repurchased through August 2, 2013 (including pending repurchase orders subject to settlement), the Company has $19.8 million in aggregate remaining repurchase capacity under all of the company’s outstanding repurchase authorizations. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including the stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements and other market and economic conditions. Although the repurchase authorizations above have no stated expiration date, the Company’s stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The following table provides information with respect to purchases made by the Company of shares of the Company’s common stock during the three months ended June 30, 2013:



	Total Number of Shares Purchased	Average Price Paid per Share		Total Dollar Value of Shares Purchased as part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	Approximate Dollar Value of Shares That May Yet be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs
