WORLD ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2012 and 2011

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements of the Company at June 30, 2012, 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, 2012, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, 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.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenues 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, 2012, included in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report to Shareholders.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

Fair Value Measurement

In May 2011, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement (ASU 2011-04) related to fair value measurement (FASB ASC Topic 820), which amends current guidance to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments generally represent clarification of FASB ASC Topic 820, but also include instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted this pronouncement for our fiscal year beginning April 1, 2012. The adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Comprehensive Income

ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) — Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”) amends Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income,” to require that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Additionally, ASU 2011-05 requires entities to present, on the face of the financial statements, reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement or statements where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity was eliminated. ASU 2011-05 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011; however certain provisions related to the presentation of reclassification adjustments have been deferred by ASU 2011-12 “Comprehensive Income (Topic 820) — Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05.” ASU 2011-05 is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements. The Company adopted this pronouncement for our annual and interim reporting beginning April 1, 2012.

Testing Goodwill for Impairment

ASU 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment,” permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test. If an entity concludes it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it need not perform the two-step impairment test. The ASU is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

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 exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or 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.

The Company’s interest rate swap, which expired on December 8, 2011, was valued using the “income approach” valuation technique. This method used valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount. The measurement was based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. As of June 30 and March 31, 2012, 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,		March 31,
	2012		2012

Book value:
Senior notes payable	$	353,600		229,250
Junior subordinated note payable		-		50,000
	$	353,600		279,250

Estimated fair value:
Senior notes payable	$	353,600		229,250
Junior subordinated note payable		-		50,000
	$	353,600		279,250

The carrying value of the senior notes payable and the junior subordinated note payable approximated the fair value as the notes payable are 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, 2012 or March 31, 2012.

NOTE 5 – AVERAGE SHARE INFORMATION

The following is a summary of the basic and diluted average common shares outstanding:

	Three months ended
	June 30,
	2012		2011
Basic:
Weighted average common shares outstanding (denominator)		13,614,838		15,481,814
Diluted:
Weighted average common shares outstanding		13,614,838		15,481,814
Dilutive potential common shares Stock options		287,095		408,599
Conversion premium on convertible notes		-		27,631
Weighted average diluted shares outstanding (denominator)		13,901,933		15,918,044

Options to purchase 215,300 shares of common stock at various prices were outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the option exercise price was antidilutive.

During the three months ended June 30, 2011 there were no anti-dilutive shares.

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the warrants related to the Company’s former convertible notes payable were not included in the computation of dilutive earnings per share because the effect of such instruments was anti-dilutive. The warrants, which expired on February 9, 2012, had a strike price of $73.97 and were generally exercisable at any time through February 9, 2012. The Company issued and sold the warrants in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by virtue of section 4(2) thereof. There were no underwriting commissions or discounts in connection with the sale of the warrants.

NOTE 6 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Option Plans

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 one year for directors and five years for officers 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, 2012, there were 1,459,138 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, 2012 or June 30, 2011.

Option activity for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was as follows:

	Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term		Aggregate Intrinsic Value

Options outstanding, beginning of year		1,041,500		$	37.95
Granted		-			-
Exercised		(67,450	)		27.35
Forfeited		(6,400	)		48.85
Expired		(300	)		43.04
Options outstanding, end of period		967,350		$	38.61		7.02	$	26,708,037
Options exercisable, end of period		224,040		$	27.58		3.89	$	8,563,013

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, 2012 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, 2012. This amount will change as the stock’s market price changes. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was as follows:

	June 30,		June 30,
	2012		2011
Three months ended	$	2,739,530	$	1,576,465

As of June 30, 2012 total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock options amounted to approximately $10.9 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.6 years.

Restricted Stock

On April 30, 2012, the Company granted 10,000 shares of restricted stock (which are equity classified) with a grant date fair value of $66.51 per share to its independent directors. All of the shares granted vested immediately.

Table of Contents

On November 7, 2011, the Company granted 15,077 shares of restricted stock (which are equity classified), with a grant date fair value of $67.70 per share, to certain executive officers. One-third of the restricted stock vested immediately and one-third will vest on November 7, 2012 and 2013, respectively. On that same date, the Company granted an additional 24,200 shares of restricted stock (which are equity classified), with a grant date fair value of $67.70 per share, to certain officers. One-third of the restricted stock will vest on November 7, 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively. On that same date, the Company granted an additional 11,139 shares of restricted stock (which are equity classified), with a grant date fair value of $67.70 per share, to certain executive officers. The 11,139 shares will vest on April 30, 2014 based on the Company’s compounded annual EPS growth according to the following schedule:

	Compounded
Vesting	Annual
Percentage	EPS Growth
100%	15% or higher
67%	12% - 14.99%
33%	10% - 11.99%
0%	Below 10%

On April 29, 2011, the Company granted 10,000 shares of restricted stock (which are equity classified) with a grant date fair value of $67.95 per share to its independent directors. All of the shares granted vested immediately.

On November 8, 2010, the Company granted 29,080 shares of restricted stock (which are equity classified), with a grant date fair value of $43.04 per share, to certain officers. One-third of the restricted stock vested immediately and one-third vested on November 8, 2011 and the final third is scheduled to vest on November 8, 2012, respectively. On that same date, the Company granted an additional 15,871 shares of restricted stock (which are equity classified), with a grant date fair value of $43.04 per share, to certain executive officers. The 15,871 shares will vest on April 30, 2013 based on the Company’s compounded annual EPS growth according to the following schedule:

	Compounded
Vesting	Annual
Percentage	EPS Growth
100%	15% or higher
67%	12% - 14.99%
33%	10% - 11.99%
0%	Below 10%

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 $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of compensation expense for the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 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, 2012, there was approximately $2.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards granted, which is expected to be recognized over the next 1.9 years.

A summary of the status of the Company’s restricted stock as of June 30, 2012, and changes during the quarter ended June 30, 2012, are presented below:

Table of Contents

	Shares			Weighted Average Fair Value at Grant Date

NOTE 7 – ACQUISITIONS

The following table sets forth the acquisition activity of the Company for the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and 2011:

	2012		2011

Number of offices purchased		1		7
Merged into existing offices		1		4
Purchase Price	$	260,295		1,749,040
Tangible assets:
Net loans		238,339		1,416,613
Furniture, fixtures & equipment		-		7,500
		238,339		1,424,113
Excess of purchase prices over carrying value of net tangible assets	$	21,956		324,927
Customer lists		16,956		293,927
Non-compete agreements		5,000		31,000
Goodwill		-		-
Total intangible assets	$	21,956		324,927

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

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 quarter ended June 30, 2012, one acquisition was recorded as business combinations, which was purchased at a discount resulting in no goodwill being recorded.

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 no acquisitions recorded as asset acquisitions during the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

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 four 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.

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 360-10-05. 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 notes payable consist of a $483.0 million senior notes payable revolving credit facility. This facility provides for borrowings of up to $483.0 million with $353.6 million outstanding at June 30, 2012, 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, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the Company’s interest rate was 4.0%, and the unused amount available under the revolver at June 30, 2012 was $129.4 million. 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 August 31, 2014.

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

NOTE 9 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

On December 8, 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $20 million to economically hedge a portion of the cash flows from its floating rate revolving credit facility. Under the terms of the interest rate swap, the Company pays a fixed rate of 2.4% on the $20 million notional amount and receives payments from a counterparty based on the 1 month LIBOR rate for a term that ended December 8, 2011. Interest rate differentials paid or received under the swap agreement are recognized as adjustments to interest expense.

Table of Contents

The (losses) gains recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as a result of the interest rate swaps are as follows:

	Three months ended
	June 30, 2011
	2011
Realized losses
Interest rate swaps - included as a component of interest expense	$	(110,403	)
Unrealized gains
Interest rate swaps - included as a component of other income	$	99,313

The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The purpose of these instruments is to reduce the exposure to variability in future cash flows attributable to a portion of its LIBOR-based borrowings. The Company is currently not accounting for these derivative instruments using the cash flow hedge accounting provisions of FASB ASC Topic 815-10-15; therefore, the changes in fair value of the swaps are included in earnings as other income or expenses.

By using derivative instruments, the Company is exposed to credit and market risk. Credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty to a derivative instrument will fail to perform, exists to the extent of the fair value gain in a derivative. Market risk is the adverse effect on the financial instruments from a change in interest rates. The Company manages the market risk associated with interest rate contracts by establishing and monitoring limits as to the types and degree of risk that may be undertaken. The market risk associated with derivatives used for interest rate risk management activities is fully incorporated in the Company’s market risk sensitivity analysis.

NOTE 10 – 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, 2012, the Company has determined that approximately $1 million of cumulative undistributed net earnings of SWAC and approximately $4.9 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.

The Company adopted the provision of FASB ASC Topic 740-10 on April 1, 2007. As of June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the Company had $3.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively, of total gross unrecognized tax benefits including interest. Approximately $1.53 million and $1.46 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, 2012, approximately $141,000 of gross unrecognized tax benefits are expected to be resolved during the next 12 months through the expiration of the statute of limitations and the settlement of state tax liabilities. The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had $299,000 accrued for gross interest, of which $60,000 was a current period 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 2008, although carryforward attributes that were generated prior to 2008 may still be adjusted upon examination by the taxing authorities if they either have been or will be used in a future period.

NOTE 11 – LITIGATION

At June 30, 2012, 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 financial statements.

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2012, Versus

Three Months Ended June 30, 2011

Net income increased to $22.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of 12.1% from the three month period ended June 30, 2011. Operating income (revenues less provision for loan losses and general and administrative expenses) increased approximately $4.3 million, or 11.9%, interest expense increased by 16.0% and income taxes increased by 10.5%.

Total revenues rose to $132.8 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2012, a 7.9% increase over the $123.2 million for the corresponding quarter of the previous year. This increase was attributable to new offices and an increase in revenues from offices open throughout both quarterly periods. Revenues from the 1,064 offices open throughout both quarterly periods increased by approximately 6.0%. At June 30, 2012, the Company had 1,145 offices in operation, an increase of eight offices from March 31, 2012.

Interest and fee income for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 increased by $8.0 million, or 7.4%, over the same period of the prior year. This increase resulted from a $93.7 million increase, or 10.3%, in average gross loans receivable over the two corresponding periods.

Insurance commissions and other income increased by $1.7 million, or 10.9%, between the two quarterly periods. Insurance commissions increased by approximately $1.4 million, or 12.6%, during the most recent quarter when compared to the prior year quarter due to the increase in loans in those states where credit insurance is sold in conjunction with the loan. Other income increased by approximately $0.3 million.

Table of Contents

The provision for loan losses during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 increased by $0.8 million, or 3.4%, from the same quarter last year. Accounts 61 days or more past due were 2.6% for both periods on a recency basis and increased from 3.7% to 3.8% on a contractual basis when comparing the two quarter end statistics. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average net loans decreased from 12.5% (annualized) during the prior year first quarter to 12.2% (annualized) during the current year first quarter. Charge-off (annualized) ratios have been relatively level over the past three June quarters at 12.5% in June 2010, 12.5% in June 2011, and 12.2% in June 2012.

General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 increased by $4.6 million, or 7.2% over the same quarter of fiscal 2012. Overall, general and administrative expenses, when divided by average open offices, increased by approximately 1.2% when comparing the two periods. The total general and administrative expense as a percent of total revenues decreased slightly from 52.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 to 52.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Interest expense increased $542,000 or 16.0% when comparing the two corresponding quarterly periods. Average debt outstanding increased from $212.0 million to $309.0 million, or a 45.9% increase. This increase was offset by a decrease in the effective yield from 6.4% during the first three months of the prior year to 5.1% during the first three months of the current year. During the current 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 cost relating to the junior subordinate debt were written off and charged to interest expense. Excluding these two items the effective interest rate for the quarter would have been 4.4%.

The Company’s effective income tax rate decreased slightly to 37.4 % for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 from 37.8% for the prior year quarter.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s accounting and reporting policies are in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles 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, revenues, 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.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company has developed policies 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” in the Company’s report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

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.

Table of Contents

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”) or state 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 $599.5 million at March 31, 2008 to $972.7 million at March 31, 2012, net cash provided by operating activities for fiscal years 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $219.4 million, $199.8 million and $183.6 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. As of July 27, 2012, the Company has $13.7 million in aggregate remaining repurchase capacity under all of the Company’s outstanding stock repurchase authorizations.

The Company plans to open or acquire at least 55 branches in the United States and 10 branches in Mexico during fiscal 2013. Expenditures by the Company to open and furnish new offices averaged approximately $25,000 per office during fiscal 2012. 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 one loan portfolio during the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Gross loans receivable purchased in this transaction were approximately $306,000 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 $483.0 million base credit facility with a syndicate of banks. The credit facility will expire on August 31, 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. At June 30, 2012, the effective interest rate on borrowings under the revolving credit facility was 4.0%. The Company pays a commitment fee equal to 0.40% per annum of the daily unused portion of the revolving credit facility. Amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility may not exceed specified percentages of eligible loans receivable. On June 30, 2012, $353.6 million was outstanding under this facility, and there was $129.4 million of unused borrowing availability under the borrowing base limitations.

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, 2012, and does not believe that these agreements will materially limit its business and expansion strategy.

Table of Contents

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 and the scheduled repayment of the other notes payable (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 for the year ended March 31, 2012 (as supplemented by any disclosures in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in any of the Company’s Forms 10-Q for quarters ended during fiscal 2013), 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.

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 loan receivables and an increase in absolute revenues to be generated from that larger amount of loans receivable. That increase in absolute revenues should offset any increase in operating costs. In addition, because the Company’s loans are relatively short in both contractual term and average life, 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, since unearned interest and insurance income are accreted to income on a collection method. 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,” may contain 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,” “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; 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 revenues 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 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.

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 four 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 $353.6 million at June 30, 2012. At June 30, 2012, 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, 2012, 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 revenues from our non-U.S. operations accounted for approximately 6.9% and 7.1% of total revenues during the three month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. There have been, and there may continue to be, period-to-period fluctuations in the relative portions of our international revenues to total consolidated revenues.

Our international operations are subject to risks, including but not limited to differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions, and foreign exchange rate volatility when compared to the United States. 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 US 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 stockholders’ equity through accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The net translation adjustment for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was a loss of approximately $2.2 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.

Table of Contents

The foreign exchange risk sensitivity of net loans denominated in Mexican pesos and translated into US dollars, which were approximately $38.1 million and $35.0 million at June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, on the reported net loans receivable amount is summarized in the following table:
