SUBSEQUENT EVENTS | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On July 27, 2017, the Company was advised they will not be providing interest-free Refund Advance loans for H&R Block tax preparation customers during the 2018 tax season. The Company’s relationship with H&R Block represented approximately $12.0 million in net earnings during fiscal year 2017. Given the loss of this relationship, the Company is reviewing the carrying value of intangible assets for potential impairment. The Company preliminarily estimates a pre-tax impairment charge of $10.7 million that would be recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017. On August 2, 2017, the Company's bank subsidiary, MetaBank, entered into an extension to its current agreement with Jackson Hewitt Tax Service® to offer on an annual basis up to $750 million of interest-free refund advance loans, an increase of $300 million in available funds over last year. The agreement includes underwriting, origination, servicing, and loan retention, and is supported by Specialty Consumer Services, a division of MetaBank. Under the extended agreement, MetaBank will continue to provide these services through the 2020 tax season.
