Operating Segment Information [Abstract] |
Operating Segment Information | Note R: Operating Segment Information We manage our business and internal reporting as three reportable segments with operating results reported separately for each segment.
| • |  | The U.S. Pawn Operations segment offers pawn related activities in our 433 U.S. pawn stores, offers signature loans in 43 pawn stores and six EZMONEY stores and offers auto title loans in 44 pawn stores.
| • |  | The Empeño Fácil segment offers pawn related activities in 178 Mexico pawn stores.
| • |  | The EZMONEY Operations segment offers signature loans in 430 U.S. and 64 Canadian financial services stores. The segment offers auto title loans in 397 of its U.S. stores and buys and sells second-hand goods 15 of its Canadian stores.
There are no inter-segment revenues, and the amounts below were determined in accordance with the same accounting principles used in our consolidated financial statements. The following tables present operating segment information:

Brokered loans are not recorded as an asset on our balance sheet, as we do not own a participation in the loans made by unaffiliated lenders. We monitor the principal balance of these loans, as our credit service fees and bad debt are directly related to their volume due to the letters of credit we issue on these loans. The balance shown above is the gross principal balance of the loans outstanding. The following table reconciles separately identified recorded segment assets, as shown above, to our consolidated total assets:
