Subsequent Events [Abstract] |
Subsequent Events | Note P. Subsequent Events On April 13, 2012, we completed the acquisition of nine pawn stores in the Minneapolis metropolitan area for total consideration of approximately $11.4 million paid in cash. This acquisition represents or initial entry into the state of Minnesota and we now operate pawn shops in 19 states in the United States. On April 14, 2012, we acquired a 72% ownership interest in Ariste Holding Limited which provides online loans in the U.K. under the name “Cash Genie.” The transaction includes the acquisition of 72% of Twyford Developments Limited, a consumer debt collection company. Under the terms of the definitive agreement, we paid $16.9 million in cash and issued 207,000 shares of stock, valued at $5.5 million to the existing shareholders. 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.
