Discontinued Operations     

The Company’s strategy has been to grow its pawn operations while reducing regulatory exposure from other consumer lending products, which include certain consumer loan and credit services products offered in the United States. In September 2012, the Company closed seven of its consumer loan stores located in the Texas cities of Austin and Dallas due in part to city ordinances enacted during 2012 in these cities, which significantly restricted the Company's ability to provide credit services products. The Company recorded a loss on disposal of $633,000, net of tax, or $0.03 per share, from these stores during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The after-tax operating results from operations for these Texas stores were immaterial during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

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 and liabilities for discontinued operations at September 30, 2012, were immaterial.
