Note 6 - Discontinued Operations

 

The Company’s strategy has been to increase focus on its pawn operations and further reduce regulatory exposure from other consumer lending products, which include certain consumer loan and credit services products offered in the United States. In March 2011, the Company sold all ten of its consumer loan stores located in Illinois to a privately-held operator of check cashing and consumer lending stores. Under the terms of the agreement, the buyer purchased the outstanding customer loans, customer account lists and fixed assets, assumed leases at all the store locations and hired all of the store-level employees. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $5,900,000, net of tax, or $0.18 per share, from the sale of these stores. The after-tax earnings from operations for the Illinois stores were an additional $514,000, or $0.01 per share during the first quarter of 2011.

 

All revenue, expenses and income reported in these financial statements have been adjusted to reflect reclassification of all discontinued operations. The carrying amounts of the assets for discontinued operations at March 31, 2011, included loans of $245,000, which were classified as a component of other current assets. The carrying amounts of the liabilities for discontinued operations at March 31, 2011, were immaterial.

 

There was no activity related to discontinued operations during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The following table summarizes the operating results, including gains from dispositions, of all the operations which have been reclassified as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 (unaudited, in thousands, except per share data):
