<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> <div align="left"> </div> <div align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt"><font style="font-variant: small-caps"><b></b></font> </div> <div align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt"><font style="font-variant: small-caps"><b></b></font> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><b>Note A: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies</b> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Organization</i></b>: We are a leading provider of specialty consumer financial services. We provide collateralized, non-recourse loans, commonly known as pawn loans, and a variety of short-term consumer loans including payday loans, installment loans and auto title loans, or fee-based credit services to customers seeking loans. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">At September 30, 2011, we operated a total of 1,111 locations, consisting of 433 U.S. pawn stores (operating as EZPAWN or Value Pawn), 178 pawn stores in Mexico (operating as Empeño Fácil or Empeñe Su Oro), 436 U.S. financial services stores (operating primarily as EZMONEY), 49 financial services stores in Canada (operating as CASHMAX) and 15 financial and retail services stores in Canada (operating as Cash Converters). In addition, we are the franchisor for 13 franchised stores in Canada pursuant to our acquisition of the Cash Converters master franchise in that country. We also own almost 30% of Albemarle & Bond Holdings PLC, one of the U.K.’s largest pawnbroking businesses with over 150 stores, and almost 33% of Cash Converters International Limited, which franchises and operates a worldwide network of over 600 financial services and second-hand retail stores. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Consolidation: </i></b>The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EZCORP, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We account for our investments in Albemarle & Bond Holdings, PLC and Cash Converters International Limited using the equity method. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Pawn Loan and Sales Revenue Recognition: </i></b>We record pawn service charges using the interest method for all pawn loans we believe to be collectible. We base our estimate of collectible loans on several factors, including recent redemption rates, historical trends in redemption rates and the amount of loans due in the following two months. Unexpected variations in any of these factors could change our estimate of collectible loans, affecting our earnings and financial condition. If a pawn loan is not repaid, we value the forfeited collateral (inventory) at the lower of cost (pawn loan principal) or market value of the property. We record sales revenue and the related cost when this inventory is sold, or when we receive the final payment on a layaway sale. Sales tax collected upon the sale of inventory is excluded from the amount recognized as sales and instead recorded as a liability in “Accounts payable and other accrued expenses” on our balance sheets until remitted to the appropriate governmental authorities. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Signature Loan Credit Service Fee Revenue Recognition: </i></b>We earn credit service fees when we assist customers in obtaining signature loans from unaffiliated lenders. We initially defer recognition of the fees we expect to collect, net of direct expenses, and recognize that deferred net amount over the life of the related loans. We reserve the percentage of credit service fees we expect not to collect. Accrued fees related to defaulted loans reduce credit service fee revenue upon loan default, and increase credit service fee revenue upon collection. Signature loan credit service fee revenue is included in “Signature loan fees” on our statements of operations. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Signature Loan Credit Service Bad Debt: </i></b>We issue letters of credit to enhance the creditworthiness of our customers seeking signature loans from unaffiliated lenders. The letters of credit assure the lenders that if borrowers default on the loans, we will pay the lenders, upon demand, the principal and accrued interest owed to the lenders by the borrowers plus any insufficient funds fees. Although amounts paid under letters of credit may be collected later, we charge those amounts to signature loan bad debt upon default. We record recoveries under the letters of credit as a reduction of bad debt at the time of collection. After attempting collection of bad debts internally, we occasionally sell them to an unaffiliated company as another method of recovery, and record the proceeds from such sales as a reduction of bad debt at the time of the sale. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The majority of our credit service customers obtain short-term signature loans with a single maturity date. These short-term loans, with terms averaging about 16 days, are considered defaulted if they have not been repaid or renewed by the maturity date. Other credit service customers obtain installment loans with a series of payments due over as much as a seven-month period. If one payment of an installment loan is delinquent, that one payment is considered defaulted. If more than one installment payment is delinquent at any time, the entire loan is considered defaulted. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Allowance for Losses on Signature Loan Credit Services: </i></b>We provide an allowance for losses we expect to incur under letters of credit for brokered signature loans that have not yet matured. The allowance is based on recent loan default experience adjusted for seasonal variations. It includes all amounts we expect to pay to the unaffiliated lenders upon loan default, including loan principal, accrued interest, insufficient funds fees, and late fees, net of the amounts we expect to collect from borrowers (collectively, “Expected LOC Losses”). Changes in the allowance are charged to signature loan bad debt. We include the balance of Expected LOC Losses in “Accounts payable and other accrued expenses” on our balance sheets. Based on the expected loss and collection percentages, we also provide an allowance for the signature loan credit service fees we expect not to collect, and charge changes in this allowance to signature loan fee revenue. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Signature Loan Revenue Recognition: </i></b>We accrue fees in accordance with state and provincial laws on the percentage of signature loans (payday loans and installment loans) we have made that we believe to be collectible. Accrued fees related to defaulted loans reduce fee revenue upon loan default, and increase fee revenue upon collection. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Signature Loan Bad Debt: </i></b>We consider a payday loan defaulted if it has not been repaid or renewed by the maturity date. If one payment of an installment loan is delinquent, that one payment is considered defaulted. If more than one installment payment is delinquent at any time, the entire installment loan is considered defaulted. Although defaulted loans may be collected later, we charge the loan principal to signature loan bad debt upon default, leaving only active loans in the reported balance. We record collections of principal as a reduction of signature loan bad debt when collected. After attempting collection of bad debts internally, we occasionally sell them to an unaffiliated company as another method of recovery and record the proceeds from such sales as a reduction of bad debt at the time of sale. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Signature Loan Allowance for Losses: </i></b>We provide an allowance for losses on signature loans that have not yet matured and related fees receivable, based on recent loan default experience adjusted for seasonal variations. We charge any changes in the principal valuation allowance to signature loan bad debt. We record changes in the fee receivable valuation allowance to signature loan fee revenue. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Auto Title Loan Credit Service Fee Revenue Recognition: </i></b>We earn auto title credit service fees when we assist customers in obtaining auto title loans from unaffiliated lenders. We recognize the fee revenue ratably over the life of the loan, and reserve the percentage of fees we expect not to collect. Auto title loan credit service fee revenue is included in “Auto title loan fees” on our statements of operations. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Bad Debt and Allowance for Losses on Auto Title Loan Credit Services: </i></b>We issue letters of credit to enhance the creditworthiness of our customers seeking auto title loans from unaffiliated lenders. The letters of credit assure the lenders that if borrowers default on the loans, we will pay the lenders, upon demand, all amounts owed to the lenders by the borrowers plus any late fees. Through a charge to auto title loan bad debt, we provide an allowance for losses we expect to incur under letters of credit for brokered auto title loans, and record actual charge-offs against this allowance. The allowance includes all amounts we expect to pay to the unaffiliated lenders upon loan default, including principal, accrued interest and late fees, net of the amounts we expect to collect from borrowers or through the sale of repossessed vehicles. We include the allowance for expected losses in “Accounts payable and other accrued expenses” on our balance sheets. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Auto Title Loan Revenue Recognition: </i></b>We accrue fees in accordance with state laws on the percentage of auto title loans we have made that we believe to be collectible. We recognize the fee revenue ratably over the life of the loan. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Auto Title Loan Bad Debt and Allowance for Losses: </i></b>Based on historical collection experience, the age of past-due loans and amounts we expect to receive through the sale of repossessed vehicles, we provide an allowance for losses on auto title loans and related fees receivable. We charge any increases in the principal valuation allowance to auto title loan bad debt and charge uncollectable loans against this allowance. We record changes in the fee receivable valuation allowance to auto title loan fee revenue. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Cash and Cash Equivalents and Cash Concentrations: </i></b>Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on deposit or highly liquid investments or mutual funds with original contractual maturities of three months or less. We hold cash at major financial institutions that often exceed FDIC insured limits. We manage our credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents and cash concentrations by investing in high quality instruments or funds, concentrating our cash deposits in high quality financial institutions and by periodically evaluating the credit quality of the primary financial institutions issuing investments or holding such deposits. Historically, we have not experienced any losses due to such cash concentrations. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Inventory: </i></b>If a pawn loan is not redeemed, we record the forfeited collateral at cost (the principal amount of the pawn loan). We do not record loan loss allowances or charge-offs on the principal portion of pawn loans, as they are fully collateralized. </div>   </div>  <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In order to state inventory at the lower of cost (specific identification) or market value, we record an allowance for excess, obsolete or slow moving inventory based on the type and age of merchandise. We record changes in the inventory valuation allowance as cost of goods sold. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Software Development Costs: </i></b>We capitalize certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining software for internal use, and amortize the costs by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of each system, typically five years. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Customer Layaway Deposits: </i></b>Customer layaway deposits are recorded as deferred revenue until we collect the entire related sales price and deliver the related merchandise to the customer. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Intangible Assets: </i></b>Goodwill and other intangible assets having indefinite lives are not subject to amortization. They are tested for impairment each July 1<sup style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">st</sup>, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired, based on cash flows and other market valuation methods. We amortize intangible assets with definite lives over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Property and Equipment: </i></b>We record property and equipment at cost. We depreciate these assets on a straight-line basis using estimated useful lives of 30 years for buildings and 2 to 7 years for furniture, equipment, and software development costs. We depreciate leasehold improvements over the shorter of their estimated useful life (typically 10 years) or the reasonably assured lease term at the inception of the lease. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Valuation of Tangible Long-Lived Assets: </i></b>We assess the impairment of tangible long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the net recorded amount may not be recoverable. The following factors could trigger an impairment review: significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future cash flows, significant changes in the manner of use of the assets or the strategy for the overall business, significant negative industry trends or legislative changes prohibiting us from offering our loan products. When we determine that the net recorded amount of tangible long-lived assets may not be recoverable, we measure impairment based on the excess of the assets’ net recorded amount over the estimated fair value. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Fair Value of Financial Instruments: </i></b>We have elected not to measure at fair value any eligible items for which fair value measurement is optional. We determine the fair value of financial instruments by reference to various market data and other valuation techniques, as appropriate. Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair values of financial instruments approximate their recorded values, due primarily to their short-term nature. The recorded value of our outstanding debt is assumed to estimate its fair value, as it has no prepayment penalty and a floating interest rate based on market rates. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Acquisitions: </i></b>We adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-10-65 (Business Combinations — Revised) on October 1, 2009, and have applied it prospectively to all business acquisitions completed since that date. In accordance with FASB ASC 805-10-65, we allocate the total acquisition price to the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired and now immediately expense transaction costs that would have been included in the purchase price allocation under previous accounting standards. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Foreign Currency Translation: </i></b>Our equity investments in Albemarle & Bond and Cash Converters International are translated from British pounds and Australian dollars, respectively, into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates as of the investees’ balance sheet date of June 30. The related interest in the investees’ net income is translated at the average exchange rates for each six-month period reported by the investees. The functional currency of our wholly-owned Empeño Fácil pawn segment is the Mexican peso and the functional currency of our wholly-owned foreign subsidiary in Canada is the Canadian dollar. Empeño Fácil’s and our Canadian subsidiary’s balance sheet accounts are translated from their respective functional currencies into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at the end of each quarter, and their earnings are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate each quarter. We present resulting translation adjustments from Albemarle & Bond, Cash Converters International, Empeño Fácil and our Canadian subsidiary as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses have not been significant, and are reported as “Other” expense in our statements of operations. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Cost of Goods Sold: </i></b>We include in cost of goods sold the historical cost of inventory sold, inventory shrinkage and any change in the allowance for inventory shrinkage and valuation. We also include the cost of operating our central jewelry processing unit, as it relates directly to sales of precious metals to refiners. </div>   </div>  <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Operations Expense: </i></b>Included in operations expense are costs related to operating our stores. These costs include labor, other direct expenses such as utilities, supplies and banking fees, and indirect expenses such as store rent, building repairs and maintenance, advertising, store property taxes and insurance, regional and area management expenses and the costs of our bad debt collection center. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Administrative Expense: </i></b>Included in administrative expense are costs related to our executive and administrative offices. This includes executive and administrative salaries, wages, stock and incentive compensation, professional fees, license fees and costs related to the operation of our administrative offices such as rent, property taxes, insurance, and information technology. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Advertising</i></b><b>: </b>We expense advertising costs as incurred. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Income Taxes: </i></b>We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying value of assets and liabilities and their tax basis and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the related temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized when the rate change is enacted. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Stock Compensation</i></b><b>: </b>We account for stock compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of FASB ASC 718-10-25 (Compensation — Stock Compensation). The fair value of restricted shares is measured as the closing market price of our stock on the date of grant, which is amortized over the vesting period for each grant. When granted, our policy is to estimate the grant-date fair value of options using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model and amortize that fair value to compensation expense on a ratable basis over the options’ vesting periods. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Use of Estimates</i></b><b>: </b>Generally accepted accounting principles require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Reclassifications: </i></b>Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: </i></b>In June 2009, FASB amended ASC 810-10-65 (Consolidation). Amended ASC 810-10-65 relates to the consolidation of variable interest entities. It eliminates the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and requires ongoing qualitative reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. This guidance also requires additional disclosures about an enterprise’s involvement in variable interest entities. We adopted this amended standard October 1, 2010, resulting in no effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In July 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-20, “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.” This update amends FASB ASC 310 (Receivables) to improve the disclosures that an entity provides about the credit quality of its financing receivables and the related allowance for credit losses. As a result of these amendments, an entity is required to disaggregate by portfolio segment or class certain existing disclosures and provide new disclosures about its financing receivables and related allowance for credit losses. We adopted this amended standard on October 1, 2010, resulting in no effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The additional required disclosures are included in Note S. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In June 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” This update amends FASB ASC 220 (Comprehensive Income) and eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendments require that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. We early adopted this amended standard in our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2010 with no effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows other than the presentation of our results of operations. </div>   </div>  <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> </div>

We are amortizing the favorable lease assets over the related lease terms used for straight-line rent purposes. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill were based on several strategic and synergistic benefits we expect to realize from the acquisition. These benefits include a greater presence in prime pawn markets including making us the largest pawn store operator in Florida, expected administrative savings, increased scale and the ability to implement certain processes and practices at the acquired company in our existing and future operations. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The total purchase price presented above excludes contingent consideration paid under the terms of the acquisition, which depended on the price at which VFS shareholders sold their EZCORP shares. After the closing of the acquisition, we paid $10.7 million of contingent consideration to VFS shareholders related to the sale of approximately 3.9 million EZCORP shares. In accordance with accounting rules for contingent payments based on the acquirer’s stock price, all contingent consideration paid was recorded as a reduction of the additional paid-in capital recorded with the stock issuance and did not change the total recorded purchase price. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The results of the acquired stores have been consolidated with our results since their acquisition. The following table summarizes unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations assuming the acquisition had occurred on the first day of fiscal 2009.

These come primarily from using the best practices from EZCORP and VFS in each business, economies of scale, reduced administrative support staff and the closure of VFS’s corporate offices. The pro forma information does not include any potential operating efficiencies or cost savings from expected synergies. The pro forma information is not necessarily an indication of the results that would have been achieved had the acquisition been completed as of the date indicated or that may be achieved in the future. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt;

The purchase price allocation of stores acquired in the most recent twelve months is preliminary as we continue to receive information regarding the acquired assets. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the acquisitions were not significant on either an individual or an aggregate basis, and it is not practicable to do so, as historical audited financial statements are not readily available. </div> </div>

Our total cost for those shares was approximately $27.6 million. Albemarle & Bond is primarily engaged in pawnbroking, retail jewelry sales, check cashing and lending in the United Kingdom. We account for the investment using the equity method. Since Albemarle & Bond’s fiscal year ends three months prior to ours, we report the income from this investment on a three-month lag. Albemarle & Bond files semi-annual financial reports for its fiscal periods ending December 31 and June 30. The income reported for our fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 represents our percentage interest in the results of Albemarle & Bond’s operations from July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011. In fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009, we received dividends from Albemarle & Bond of $3.2 million, $2.3 million and $1.6 million.

Because Albemarle & Bond publicly reports its financial results only semi-annually as of June 30 and December 31, the latest Albemarle & Bond figures available are as of June 30, 2011, at which point our equity in net assets of Albemarle & Bond was $34.4 million. The difference between the recorded balance and our equity in Albemarle & Bond’s net assets represents the $10.0 million of unamortized goodwill, plus the cumulative difference resulting from Albemarle & Bond’s earnings, dividend payments and translation gains and losses since the dates of investment. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">At September 30, 2011, we owned 124,418,000 shares, or approximately 33% of the total ordinary shares of Cash Converters International Limited, which is a publicly traded company headquartered in Perth, Australia. We acquired the shares between November 2009 and May 2010 for approximately $57.8 million. Cash Converters franchises and operates a worldwide network of approximately 600 specialty financial services and retail stores that provide pawn loans, short-term unsecured loans and other consumer finance products, and buy and sell second-hand goods. Cash Converters has significant store concentrations in Australia and the United Kingdom. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We account for our investment in Cash Converters using the equity method. Since Cash Converters’ fiscal year ends three months prior to ours, we report the income from this investment on a three-month lag. Cash Converters files semi-annual financial reports for its fiscal periods ending December 31 and June 30. Due to the three-month lag, income reported for our fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 represents our percentage interest in the results of cash Converters’ operations from July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011. Our results for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2010 include our percentage interest in Cash Converters’ 237 days of earnings from November 6, 2009 to June 30, 2010. This amount was estimated through daily proration of Cash Converters’ reported results for the twelve months ended June 30, 2010. In fiscal 2011 and 2010, we received dividends from Cash Converters of $4.1 and $1.5 million. Cash Converters’ accumulated undistributed after-tax earnings included in our consolidated retained earnings were $7.3 million at September 30, 2011. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Conversion of Cash Converters’ financial statements into US GAAP resulted in no material differences from those reported by Cash Converters following IFRS. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In its functional currency of Australian dollars, Cash Converters’ total assets increased 18% from June 30, 2010 to June 30, 2011 and its net income improved 27% for the year ended June 30, 2011.

Among other things, the new credit agreement provides for a four year $175 million revolving credit facility that we may, under the terms of the agreement, request to be increased to a total of $225 million. Upon entering the new credit agreement, we repaid and retired our $17.5 million outstanding debt. The new credit facility increases our available credit and provides greater flexibility to make investments and acquisitions both domestically and internationally. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Pursuant to the credit agreement, we may choose to pay interest to the lenders for outstanding borrowings at LIBOR plus 200 to 275 basis points or the bank’s base rate plus 100 to 175 basis points, depending on our leverage ratio computed at the end of each calendar quarter. On the unused amount of the credit facility, we pay a commitment fee of 37.5 to 50 basis points depending on our leverage ratio calculated at the end of each quarter. From the closing date to approximately October 31, 2011, we paid a minimum interest rate of LIBOR plus 250 basis points or the bank’s base rate plus 150 basis points, at our option, and a commitment fee of 50 basis points on the unused portion of the credit line. Terms of the credit agreement require, among other things, that we meet certain financial covenants. At September 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all covenants. We expect the recorded value of our debt to approximate its fair value as it is all variable rate debt and carries no pre-payment penalty. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">At September 30, 2011, $17.5 million was outstanding under our revolving credit agreement. We also issued $5.0 million of bank letters of credit, leaving $152.5 million available on our revolving credit facility. The outstanding bank letters of credit secure our obligations under letters of credit we issue to unaffiliated lenders as part of our credit service operations. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In connection with the credit agreement we expensed $0.1 million of unamortized deferred financing costs related to our former credit agreement and recorded approximately $2.3 million deferred financing costs related to our new facility. These costs are included in intangible assets, net on the balance sheet and are being amortized to interest expense over their four-year estimated useful life. </div> </div>

At September 30, 2011 and 2010, we provided deferred income taxes on all undistributed earnings from Albemarle & Bond, and received dividends of approximately $3.2 million and $2.3 million.

In making the determination of sustainability, we must presume the appropriate taxing authority with full knowledge of all relevant information will examine tax positions. FASB ASC 740-10-25 also prescribes how the benefit should be measured, including the consideration of any penalties and interest. It requires that the standard be applied to the balances of tax assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the period of adoption and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of equity. As a result of the adoption of FASB ASC 740-10-25, we recognized a $106,000 liability, including $8,600 of penalties and interest, for unrecognized state income tax benefits net of federal taxes, and recorded this as a cumulative adjustment to our beginning retained earnings at October 1, 2007.

Our customers are considered to be in a higher risk pool with regard to creditworthiness when compared to those of typical financial institutions. As a result, our receivables do not have a credit risk profile that can easily be measured by the normal credit quality indicators used by the financial markets. We manage the risk through closely monitoring the performance of the portfolio and through our underwriting process. This process includes review of customer information, such as making a credit reporting agency inquiry, evaluating and verifying income sources and levels, verifying employment and verifying a telephone number where customers may be contacted. For auto title loans, we additionally inspect the automobile, title and reference to market values of used automobiles. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As described in Note A, “Significant Accounting Policies,” we consider a signature loan defaulted if it has not been repaid or renewed by the maturity date. If one payment of an installment loan is delinquent, that one payment is considered defaulted. If more than one installment payment is delinquent at any time, the entire installment loan is considered defaulted. Although defaulted loans may be collected later, we charge the loan principal to signature loan bad debt upon default, leaving only active loans in the reported balance. Accrued fees related to defaulted loans reduce fee revenue upon loan default, and increase fee revenue upon collection. Based on historical collection experience, the age of past-due loans and amounts we expect to receive through the sale of repossessed vehicles, we provide an allowance for losses on auto title loans. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The accuracy of our allowance estimates is dependent upon several factors, including our ability to predict future default rates based on historical trends and expected future events. We base our estimates on observable trends and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The following table presents changes in the allowance for credit losses as well as the recorded investment in our financing receivables by portfolio segment for the periods presented <i>(in thousands)</i>: </div> <div align="center"> <table style="font-size: 10pt;

The consideration was comprised of $48.2 million cash and approximately $1.0 million related to the issuance of 33,011 shares of EZCORP Class A Non-voting Common Stock. The purchase price allocation for these acquisitions is incomplete as we continue to receive information regarding the acquired assets. As a result, we are unable to provide at this time a breakout between net tangible assets, intangible assets and goodwill. </div> </div>

<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Organization</i></b>: We are a leading provider of specialty consumer financial services. We provide collateralized, non-recourse loans, commonly known as pawn loans, and a variety of short-term consumer loans including payday loans, installment loans and auto title loans, or fee-based credit services to customers seeking loans. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">At September 30, 2011, we operated a total of 1,111 locations, consisting of 433 U.S. pawn stores (operating as EZPAWN or Value Pawn), 178 pawn stores in Mexico (operating as Empeño Fácil or Empeñe Su Oro), 436 U.S. financial services stores (operating primarily as EZMONEY), 49 financial services stores in Canada (operating as CASHMAX) and 15 financial and retail services stores in Canada (operating as Cash Converters). In addition, we are the franchisor for 13 franchised stores in Canada pursuant to our acquisition of the Cash Converters master franchise in that country. We also own almost 30% of Albemarle & Bond Holdings PLC, one of the U.K.’s largest pawnbroking businesses with over 150 stores, and almost 33% of Cash Converters International Limited, which franchises and operates a worldwide network of over 600 financial services and second-hand retail stores. </div> </div> </div>

<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Signature Loan Credit Service Fee Revenue Recognition: </i></b>We earn credit service fees when we assist customers in obtaining signature loans from unaffiliated lenders. We initially defer recognition of the fees we expect to collect, net of direct expenses, and recognize that deferred net amount over the life of the related loans. We reserve the percentage of credit service fees we expect not to collect. Accrued fees related to defaulted loans reduce credit service fee revenue upon loan default, and increase credit service fee revenue upon collection. Signature loan credit service fee revenue is included in “Signature loan fees” on our statements of operations. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Signature Loan Credit Service Bad Debt: </i></b>We issue letters of credit to enhance the creditworthiness of our customers seeking signature loans from unaffiliated lenders. The letters of credit assure the lenders that if borrowers default on the loans, we will pay the lenders, upon demand, the principal and accrued interest owed to the lenders by the borrowers plus any insufficient funds fees. Although amounts paid under letters of credit may be collected later, we charge those amounts to signature loan bad debt upon default. We record recoveries under the letters of credit as a reduction of bad debt at the time of collection. After attempting collection of bad debts internally, we occasionally sell them to an unaffiliated company as another method of recovery, and record the proceeds from such sales as a reduction of bad debt at the time of the sale. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The majority of our credit service customers obtain short-term signature loans with a single maturity date. These short-term loans, with terms averaging about 16 days, are considered defaulted if they have not been repaid or renewed by the maturity date. Other credit service customers obtain installment loans with a series of payments due over as much as a seven-month period. If one payment of an installment loan is delinquent, that one payment is considered defaulted. If more than one installment payment is delinquent at any time, the entire loan is considered defaulted. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Allowance for Losses on Signature Loan Credit Services: </i></b>We provide an allowance for losses we expect to incur under letters of credit for brokered signature loans that have not yet matured. The allowance is based on recent loan default experience adjusted for seasonal variations. It includes all amounts we expect to pay to the unaffiliated lenders upon loan default, including loan principal, accrued interest, insufficient funds fees, and late fees, net of the amounts we expect to collect from borrowers (collectively, “Expected LOC Losses”). Changes in the allowance are charged to signature loan bad debt. We include the balance of Expected LOC Losses in “Accounts payable and other accrued expenses” on our balance sheets. Based on the expected loss and collection percentages, we also provide an allowance for the signature loan credit service fees we expect not to collect, and charge changes in this allowance to signature loan fee revenue. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Signature Loan Revenue Recognition: </i></b>We accrue fees in accordance with state and provincial laws on the percentage of signature loans (payday loans and installment loans) we have made that we believe to be collectible. Accrued fees related to defaulted loans reduce fee revenue upon loan default, and increase fee revenue upon collection. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Signature Loan Bad Debt: </i></b>We consider a payday loan defaulted if it has not been repaid or renewed by the maturity date. If one payment of an installment loan is delinquent, that one payment is considered defaulted. If more than one installment payment is delinquent at any time, the entire installment loan is considered defaulted. Although defaulted loans may be collected later, we charge the loan principal to signature loan bad debt upon default, leaving only active loans in the reported balance. We record collections of principal as a reduction of signature loan bad debt when collected. After attempting collection of bad debts internally, we occasionally sell them to an unaffiliated company as another method of recovery and record the proceeds from such sales as a reduction of bad debt at the time of sale. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><b><i>Signature Loan Allowance for Losses: </i></b>We provide an allowance for losses on signature loans that have not yet matured and related fees receivable, based on recent loan default experience adjusted for seasonal variations. We charge any changes in the principal valuation allowance to signature loan bad debt. We record changes in the fee receivable valuation allowance to signature loan fee revenue. </div> </div> </div>
