EZCORP, I NC. AND S UBSIDIARIES
Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
December 31, 2012
NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Our management has included all adjustments it considers necessary for a fair presentation. These adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature except for those related to acquired businesses (described in Note 2). The accompanying financial statements should be read with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012. The balance sheet at September 30, 2012 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Our business is subject to seasonal variations, and operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2012 (the “current quarter”) are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full fiscal year. Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EZCORP, Inc. ("EZCORP") and its consolidated subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As of December 31, 2012, we own 60% of the outstanding equity interests in Prestaciones Finmart, S.A. de C.V., SOFOM, E.N.R. (“Crediamigo”), 95% of Ariste Holding Limited and its affiliates ("Cash Genie"), and 51% of Renueva Comercial S.A. de C.V. ("TUYO"), and therefore, include their results in our consolidated financial statements. We account for our investments in Albemarle & Bond Holdings, PLC and Cash Converters International Limited using the equity method.
There have been no changes in significant accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2012-04, Technical Corrections and Improvements. This update clarifies the Codification or corrects unintended application of guidance and includes amendments identifying when the use of fair value should be linked to the definition of fair value in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. Amendments to the Codification without transition guidance are effective upon issuance for both public and nonpublic entities. For public entities, amendments subject to transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. We do not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2012-04 will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This update, which amends FASB ASC 210 (Balance Sheet), requires entities to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements and the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The amendments in ASU 2011-11 enhance disclosures required by FASB ASC 210 by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either offset in accordance with FASB ASC 210-20-45 or 815-10-45 or are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Disclosures are required retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. Currently, we do not enter into any right of offset arrangements and the adoption of ASU 2011-11 will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 2: ACQUISITIONS
Go Cash
On November 20, 2012, we entered into a definitive agreement with Go Cash, LLC and certain of its affiliates ("Go Cash") to acquire substantially all the assets of Go Cash's online lending business. This acquisition was completed on December 20, 2012 and accounted for as an asset purchase. No liabilities were assumed other than trade payables and accounts payables incurred prior to closing in the ordinary course of business, which were less than $0.1 million.
The assets acquired include a proprietary software platform, including a loan management system and a lending decision science engine, that will enable geographic expansion both within the U.S. and internationally; an internal customer service and collections call center; a portion of the existing Go Cash multi-state loan portfolio; and related assets, including customer lists, customer data

and customer transaction information. We hired substantially all of Go Cash's employees, including the management team, an internal underwriting and customer experience analytics team, and an experienced customer service and collections call center team.
The total purchase price is performance-based and will be determined over a period of four years following the closing. A minimum of $50.7 million will be paid, of which $27.7 million was paid at closing, $11.0 million will be paid on November 10, 2013, $6.0 million will be paid on November 10, 2014, and $6.0 million will be paid on November 10, 2015. The performance consideration element will be based on the net income generated by the "Post-Closing Business Unit" (which will include all of EZCORP's online consumer lending business). Within a specified period after the end of each of each of the first four years following the closing, EZCORP will make a contingent supplemental payment equal to the difference between (a) the adjusted net income for such year, multiplied by 6.0, and (b) all consideration payments previously paid. Each payment may be made, in EZCORP's sole discretion, in cash or in the form of shares of EZCORP Class A Non-Voting Common Stock. The initial payment was made in the form of 1,400,198 shares of EZCORP Class A Non-Voting Common Stock.
The contingent consideration element of the purchase price, which is the amount in excess of the guaranteed $50.7 million, has not yet been valued as of December 31, 2012 and therefore has not been included in the purchase price allocation or the financial statements of EZCORP as of December 31, 2012.
TUYO
On November 1, 2012, we acquired a 51% interest in Renueva Comercial S.A. de C.V., a company headquartered in Mexico City and doing business under the name “TUYO.” TUYO owns and operates 20 stores in Mexico City and the surrounding metropolitan area. In these stores, TUYO buys quality used merchandise from customers and then resells that merchandise to other customers. TUYO also sells refurbished or other merchandise acquired in bulk from wholesalers. As this acquisition was individually immaterial, we present its related information, other than information related to the redeemable noncontrolling interest, on a combined basis.
Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, the sellers have a put option with respect to their remaining shares of TUYO. The sellers have the right to sell their TUYO shares to EZCORP during a specified exercise period, with specified limitations on the number of shares that may be sold within a consecutive 12 months period. Under the guidance in ASC 480-10-S99, securities that are redeemable for cash or other assets are to be classified outside of permanent equity; therefore, we have included the redeemable noncontrolling interest related to TUYO in temporary equity.
The fair value of the TUYO redeemable noncontrolling interest was estimated by applying an income and market approach. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. Key assumptions include discount rates of 10% and 18% representing discounts for lack of control and lack of marketability respectively that market participants would consider when estimating the fair value of the noncontrolling interest. The fair market value of TUYO was determined using a multiple of future earnings. We expect the recorded values related to the noncontrolling interest at December 31, 2012 to approximate fair value.
Other
The three month period ended December 31, 2012, includes the acquisition of 12 pawn locations in Arizona. Arizona is a new state of operation for EZCORP. As this acquisition was individually immaterial, we present its related information on a consolidated basis.

(1) The weighted average useful life of definite-lived intangible assets acquired is five years.
All acquisitions were made as part of our continuing strategy to enhance and diversify our earnings. The factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill were based on several strategic and synergistic benefits we expect to realize from the acquisitions. These benefits include our initial entry into several markets and a greater presence in others, as well as the ability to further leverage our expense structure through increased scale. The purchase price allocation of assets acquired in the most recent twelve month period is preliminary as we continue to receive information regarding the acquired assets. Transaction related expenses for the three month periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 of approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, were expensed as incurred and recorded as administrative expenses. These amounts exclude costs related to transactions that did not close and future acquisitions. The results of all acquisitions have been consolidated with our results since their respective closing.

of operations have not been presented because it is impracticable to do so, as historical audited financial statements in U.S. GAAP are not readily available.
Crediamigo
On January 30, 2012, we acquired a 60% interest in Crediamigo, a specialty consumer finance company, headquartered in Mexico City, with 45 loan servicing locations throughout the country, for total consideration of $60.1 million, net of cash acquired. This amount includes contingent consideration related to two earn out payments. If certain financial performance targets are achieved, during calendar years 2012 and 2013, we will make a payment to the sellers of $12.0 million dollars, each year, for a total amount of $24.0 million dollars. The Crediamigo purchase price allocation presented below includes a fair value amount of $23.0 million attributable to the contingent consideration payments.
Pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement, the sellers have a put option with respect to their remaining shares of Crediamigo. Under the guidance in ASC 480-10-S99, securities that are redeemable for cash or other assets are to be classified outside of permanent equity; therefore, we have included the redeemable noncontrolling interest related to Crediamigo in temporary equity. The fair value of the Crediamigo redeemable noncontrolling interest was estimated by applying an income and market approach. This fair value measurement at acquisition was based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. We expect the recorded values related to the noncontrolling interest at December 31, 2012 to approximate fair value.
Cash Genie
On April 14, 2012, we acquired a 72% interest in Ariste Holding Limited and its affiliates, which provides online loans in the U.K under the name "Cash Genie." As this acquisition was individually immaterial, we present its related information, other than information related to the redeemable noncontrolling interest, on a combined basis.
Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, the sellers have a put option with respect to their remaining shares of Cash Genie. The seller has the right to sell their Cash Genie shares to EZCORP during the exercise period. Under the guidance in ASC 480-10-S99, securities that are redeemable for cash or other assets are to be classified outside of permanent equity; therefore, we have included the redeemable noncontrolling interest related to Cash Genie in temporary equity.
On November 14, 2012, a seller exercised his option with respect to his remaining shares. This transaction was treated as an equity transaction and not an adjustment to the purchase price of the Company's initial controlling interest acquisition of Cash Genie. The details of the transaction are described further in Note 8. We expect the remaining recorded values related to the noncontrolling interest at December 31, 2012 to approximate fair value.
Other
In fiscal 2012, we acquired 50 locations in the U.S. and one in Canada. As these acquisitions, were individually immaterial, we present their related information on a combined basis.

NOTE 3: EARNINGS PER SHARE
We compute basic earnings per share on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. We compute diluted earnings per share on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards.
Potential common shares are required to be excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share if the assumed proceeds upon exercise or vest, as defined by FASB ASC 718-10-25, are greater than the cost to re-acquire the same number of shares at the average market price, and therefore the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Components of basic and diluted earnings per share and excluded anti-dilutive potential common shares are as follows:

| Three Months Ended December 31,
| 2012 |  | 2011

NOTE 4: STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS
At December 31, 2012, we owned 16,644,640 ordinary shares of Albemarle & Bond Holdings, PLC ("Albermarle & Bond"), representing almost 30% of its total outstanding shares. Our total cost for those shares was approximately $27.6 million. Albemarle & Bond is primarily engaged in pawnbroking, retail jewelry sales, check cashing and lending in the United Kingdom. We account for the investment using the equity method. Since Albemarle & Bond’s fiscal year ends three months prior to ours, we report the income from this investment on a three-month lag. Albemarle & Bond files semi-annual financial reports for its fiscal periods ending December 31 and June 30. The income reported for our three months ended December 31, 2012 represents our percentage interest in the results of Albemarle & Bond’s operations from July 1, 2012 to September 30, 2012.
Conversion of Albemarle & Bond’s financial statements into U.S. GAAP resulted in no material differences from those reported by Albemarle & Bond following IFRS.
In its functional currency of British pounds, Albemarle & Bond’s total assets increased 14% from June 30, 2011 to June 30, 2012 and its net income improved 2% for the year ended June 30, 2012. The following table presents summary financial information for Albemarle & Bond’s most recently reported results after translation to U.S. dollars (using the exchange rate as of June 30 of each year for balance sheet items and average exchange rates for the income statement items for the periods indicated):

At December 31, 2012, we owned 136,848,000 shares, or approximately 33% of Cash Converters International Limited ("Cash Converters International"), a publicly traded company headquartered in Perth, Australia. Cash Converters International franchises and operates a worldwide network of over 700 specialty financial services and retail stores that provide pawn loans, short-term unsecured loans and other consumer finance products, and buy and sell second-hand goods, with significant store concentrations in Australia and the United Kingdom. Those shares include 12,430,000 shares that we acquired in November 2012 for approximately $11.0 million in cash as part of a share placement. Our total investment in Cash Converters International was acquired between November 2009 and November 2012 for approximately $68.8 million.
We account for our investment in Cash Converters International using the equity method. Since Cash Converters International’s fiscal year ends three months prior to ours, we report the income from this investment on a three-month lag. Cash Converters International files semi-annual financial reports for its fiscal periods ending December 31 and June 30. Due to the three-month lag, income reported for our three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 represents our percentage interest in the results of Cash Converters International’s operations from July 1, 2012 to September 30, 2012 and July 1, 2011 to September 30, 2011, respectively.
Conversion of Cash Converters International’s financial statements into U.S. GAAP resulted in no material differences from those reported by Cash Converters following IFRS.

The amortization of most definite-lived intangible assets is recorded as amortization expense. The favorable lease asset and other intangibles are amortized to operations expense (rent expense) over the related lease terms. The deferred financing costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the related debt instruments. The following table presents the amount and classification of amortization recognized as expense in each of the periods presented:

On May 10, 2011, we entered into a new senior secured credit agreement with a syndicate of five banks, replacing our previous credit agreement. Among other things, the new credit agreement provides for a four year $175 million revolving credit facility that we may, under the terms of the agreement, request to be increased to a total of $225 million. Upon entering the new credit agreement, we repaid and retired our $17.5 million outstanding debt. The new credit facility increases our available credit and provides greater flexibility to make investments and acquisitions both domestically and internationally.
Pursuant to the credit agreement, we may choose to pay interest to the lenders for outstanding borrowings at LIBOR plus 200 to 275 basis points or the bank's base rate plus 100 to 175 basis points, depending on our leverage ratio computed at the end of each calendar quarter. On the unused amount of the credit facility, we pay a commitment fee of 37.5 to 50 basis points depending on our leverage ratio calculated at the end of each quarter. Terms of the credit agreement require, among other things, that we meet certain financial covenants, restrict dividend payments and limit other and non-recourse debt. At December 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants. We expect the recorded value of our debt to approximate its fair value, as it is all variable rate debt and carries no pre-payment penalty, and would be considered a Level 2 estimate within the fair value hierarchy.
Deferred financing costs related to our credit agreement are included in intangible assets, net on the balance sheet and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the agreement.
On January 30, 2012, we acquired a 60% ownership interest in Crediamigo, a specialty consumer finance company headquartered in Mexico City. Non-recourse debt amounts in the table above represent Crediamigo’s third party debt. All lines of credit are guaranteed by the Crediamigo loan portfolio. Interest on lines of credit due 2014 and 2015 is charged at the Mexican Interbank Equilibrium ("TIIE") plus a margin varying from 6% to 9%. The line of credit due 2014 requires monthly payments of $0.1 million with remaining principal due at maturity. The line of credit due 2015 requires monthly payments of

$0.8 million with the remaining principal due at maturity. The 15% secured notes require monthly payments of $0.1 million with remaining principal due at maturity.
At acquisition, we performed a valuation to determine the fair value of Crediamigo's debt. As a result, we recorded a debt premium on Crediamigo’s debt. This debt premium is being amortized as a reduction of interest expense over the life of the debt. The fair value was determined by using an income approach, specifically the discounted cash flows method based on the contractual terms of the debt and risk adjusted discount rates. The significant inputs used for the valuation are not observable in the market and thus this fair value measurement represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. We expect the recorded value of our debt to approximate its fair value and would be considered Level 3 estimates within the fair value hierarchy.
On July 10, 2012, Crediamigo entered into a securitization transaction to transfer the collection rights of certain eligible consumer loans to a bankruptcy remote trust in exchange for cash on a non-recourse basis. The trust received financing as a result of the issuance of debt securities and delivered the proceeds of the financing to Crediamigo.The securitization agreement calls for a two-year revolving period in which the trust will use principal collections of the consumer loan portfolio to acquire additional collection rights up to $115.5 million in eligible loans from Crediamigo. Upon the termination of the revolving period, the collection received by the trust will be used to repay the debt. Crediamigo will continue to service the underlying loans in the trust.
Crediamigo is the primary beneficiary of the securitization trust because Crediamigo has the power to direct the most significant activities of the trust through its role as servicer of all the receivables held by the trust and through its obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the trust. Consequently, we consolidate the trust.
As of December 31, 2012, borrowings under the securitization borrowing facility amounted to $32.3 million. Interest is charged at TIIE plus a 2.5% margin, or a total of 7.3% as of December 31, 2012, and required monthly payments of $0.9 million begin on July 2014. The debt issued by the trust will be paid solely from the collections of the consumer loans transferred to the trust, and therefore there is no recourse to Crediamigo or EZCORP.

On November 1, 2012, we acquired a 51% interest in Tuyo (See note 2 for details).
On November 14, 2012, we acquired an additional 23% of the ordinary shares outstanding of Cash Genie, our U.K. online lending business, for $10.4 million, increasing our ownership percentage from 72% to 95%, with the remaining 5% held by local management. The consideration paid to the selling shareholder was paid in the form of 592,461 shares of EZCORP Class A Non-Voting Common Stock. This transaction was treated as an equity transaction and not an adjustment to the purchase price of the our initial controlling interest acquisition of Cash Genie.
NOTE 9: INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense is provided at the U.S. tax rate on financial statement earnings, adjusted for the difference between the U.S. tax rate and the rate of tax in effect for non-U.S. earnings deemed to be permanently reinvested in the Company's non-U.S. operations. Deferred income taxes have not been provided for the potential remittance of non-U.S. undistributed earnings to the extent those earnings are deemed to be permanently reinvested, or to the extent such recognition would result in a deferred tax asset.
The current quarter’s effective tax rate is 33.9% of pretax income compared to 33.9% for the prior year quarter. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was lowered by a one-time recognition of a tax benefit from state net operating losses.
NOTE 10: CONTINGENCIES
Currently and from time to time, we are defendants in various legal and regulatory actions. While we cannot determine the ultimate outcome of these actions, we believe their resolution will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
NOTE 11: OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION
Segment information is prepared on the same basis that our management reviews financial information for operational decision-making purposes. Previously, we reported segment information based primarily on product offerings. Beginning with the second quarter of fiscal 2012, we redefined our reportable operating segments based on geography as our company is increasingly being organized and managed along geographic lines, with product offerings and channels based on local custom and regulation. As a result, we concluded that segment reporting based on geography more closely aligns with our management organization and strategic direction. In connection with the new segment structure, we have changed the accountability for, and reporting of, certain items including administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest and our equity in the net income of unconsolidated affiliates. When practical, these items are allocated to segments. Interest is also allocated to operating segments when debt is incurred at the local country level and is non-recourse to EZCORP. These items are now included in the segment’s measure of profit or loss (“segment contribution”). Expenses that cannot be allocated are included as corporate expenses. Concurrent with the change in reportable operating segments, we revised our prior period financial information to reflect comparable financial information for the new segment structure.
For periods ending after January 1, 2012, we report segments as follows:

• | U.S. & Canada – All business activities in the United States and Canada

• | Latin America – All business activities in Mexico and other parts of Latin America

• | Other International – All business activities in the rest of the world (currently consisting of consumer loans online in the U.K. and our equity interests in the net income of Albemarle & Bond and Cash Converters International)

NOTE 12: ALLOWANCE FOR LOSSES AND CREDIT QUALITY OF FINANCING RECEIVABLES
We offer a variety of loan products and credit services to customers who do not have cash resources or access to credit to meet their cash needs. Our customers are considered to be in a higher risk pool with regard to creditworthiness when compared to those of typical financial institutions. As a result, our receivables do not have a credit risk profile that can easily be measured by the normal credit quality indicators used by the financial markets. We manage the risk through closely monitoring the performance of the portfolio and through our underwriting process. This process includes review of customer information, such as making a credit reporting agency inquiry, evaluating and verifying income sources and levels, verifying employment and verifying a telephone number where customers may be contacted. For auto title loans, we additionally inspect the automobile, title and reference to market values of used automobiles.
We consider consumer loans made by our wholly owned subsidiaries defaulted if they have not been repaid or renewed by the maturity date. If one payment of a multiple-payment loan is delinquent, that one payment is considered defaulted. If more than one payment is delinquent at any time, the entire loan is considered defaulted. Although defaulted loans may be collected later, we charge the loan principal to consumer loan bad debt upon default, leaving only active loans in the reported balance. Accrued fees related to defaulted loans reduce fee revenue upon loan default, and increase fee revenue upon collection.
Based on historical collection experience, the age of past-due loans and amounts we expect to receive through the sale of repossessed vehicles, we provide an allowance for losses on auto title loans.

The Crediamigo acquisition marked our initial entry into unsecured consumer lending in Mexico. Crediamigo consumer loans are considered in current status as long as the customer is employed and Crediamigo receives payments via payroll withholdings. Loans made to customers no longer employed are considered current if payments are made by due date. If one payment of a loan is delinquent, that one payment is considered defaulted. If two or more payments are delinquent at any time, the entire loan is considered defaulted. Although defaulted loans may be collected later, Crediamigo charges the loan principal to consumer loan bad debt upon default, leaving only active loans in the reported balance. Subsequent collections of principal are recorded as a reduction of consumer loan bad debt when collected. Accrued fees related to defaulted loans reduce fee revenue upon default, and increase fee revenue upon collection.
The accuracy of our allowance estimates is dependent upon several factors, including our ability to predict future default rates based on historical trends and expected future events. We base our estimates on observable trends and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The following table presents changes in the allowance for credit losses, as well as the recorded investment in our financing receivables by portfolio segment for the periods presented:

* No comparative information is presented as amounts are included for periods subsequent to acquisition.
** Benefit in unsecured long-term consumer loan provision is due to the sale of past due loans and recoveries of loans previously written-off.
The provisions presented in the table above include only principal and excludes items such as non-sufficient funds fees, repossession fees, auction fees and interest. In addition, all credit service expenses and fees related to loans made by our unaffiliated lenders are excluded, as we do not own the loans made in connection with our credit services and they are not recorded as assets on our balance sheets. Expected losses on credit services are accrued and reported in “Accounts payable and other accrued expenses” on our balance sheets.
Auto title loans are our only consumer loans (other than those made by Crediamigo) that remain as recorded investments when in delinquent or nonaccrual status. We consider an auto title loan past due if it has not been repaid or renewed by the maturity date. Based on experience, we establish a reserve on all auto title loans. On auto title loans more than 90 days past due, we reserve the percentage we estimate will not be recoverable through auction and reserve 100% of loans for which we have not yet repossessed the underlying collateral. No fees are accrued on any auto title loans more than 90 days past due.
Consumer loans made by Crediamigo remain on the balance sheet as recorded investments when in delinquent status. We consider a consumer loan past due if it has not been repaid or renewed by the maturity date; however, it is not unusual to have a lag in payments due to the time it takes the government agencies to setup the initial payroll withholding. Only those consumer loans made to customers that are no longer employed are considered in nonaccrual status. We establish a reserve on all consumer loans, based on historical experience. No fees are accrued on any consumer loans made to customers that are no longer employed.

NOTE 13: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
In accordance with FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, our assets and liabilities, which are carried at fair value, are classified in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Other observable inputs other than quoted market prices.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
23

Table of Contents
The tables below present our financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and September 30, 2012:

Total |  | $ | (18,801 | ) |  | $ | 4,631 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | (23,432 | )

We measure the value of our gold collar under Level 2 inputs as defined by FASB ASC 820-10. The valuation is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques which reflect the contractual terms of the transaction, including the period to maturity and uses observable market-based inputs including gold forward curves and implied volatilities. We measure the value of our marketable equity securities under a Level 1 input. These assets are publicly traded equity securities for which market prices are readily available. There were no transfers of assets in or out of Level 1 or Level 2 fair value measurements in the periods presented. We used an income approach to measure the fair value of the contingent consideration using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach, in which all outcomes were successful. The significant inputs used for the valuation are not observable in the market, as they are specifically related to Crediamigo, and thus this fair value measurement represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.
NOTE 14: DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Our earnings and financial position are affected by changes in gold values. In fiscal year 2012, we began using derivative financial instruments in order to manage our commodity price risk associated with the forecasted sales of gold scrap. These derivatives are not designated as hedges, and according to FASB ASC 815-20-25, “Derivatives and Hedging – Recognition,” changes in their fair value are recorded directly in earnings. As of December 31, 2012 and as of September 30, 2012 , we had no balance outstanding recorded on our balance sheet. As of December 31, 2011, the notional amount of the gold collar recorded on our balance sheet was 19,000 ounces of gold.

NOTE 15: CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On February 3, 2012, we filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 registering the offer and sale of an indeterminate amount of a variety of securities, including debt securities. Unless otherwise indicated in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, each of our domestic subsidiaries will fully and unconditionally guarantee on a joint and several basis our payment obligations under such debt securities issued by the parent.
In accordance with Rule 3-10(f) of Regulation S-X, the following presents condensed consolidating financial information as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and as of September 30, 2012 for EZCORP, Inc. (the “Parent”), each of the Parent’s domestic subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) on a combined basis and each of the Parent’s other subsidiaries (the “Other Subsidiaries”) on a combined basis. Eliminating entries presented are necessary to consolidate the groups of entities. Subsequent to the issuance of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2012, we identified certain errors in the presentation of the consolidating financial statements contained in this footnote as of September 30, 2012, December 31, 2011 and for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The Condensed Consolidating Financial information presented on the following pages has been corrected for these errors. These adjustments did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2012, or December 31, 2011, or for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The discussion in this section contains forward-looking statements that are based on our current expectations. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements due to a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those identified in “Part II, Item 1A — Risk Factors” of this report and "Part I, Item 1A—Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012.
Overview
We are a leading provider of instant cash solutions for consumers through multiple channels: in store, at home, online, or any combination. We provide collateralized, non-recourse loans, commonly known as pawn loans, and a variety of short-term consumer loans, including single-payment and multiple-payment unsecured loans and single-payment and multiple-payment auto title loans. In Texas, we provide fee-based credit services to customers seeking loans. At our pawn and buy/sell stores, we also sell merchandise, primarily collateral forfeited from pawn lending operations and used merchandise purchased from customers and vendors.
We own a 60% interest in Crediamigo, a leading provider of payroll deduction loans in Mexico; a 51% interest in TUYO, a company headquartered in Mexico City that owns and operates 20 buy/sell stores in Mexico City and the surrounding metropolitan area; and a 95% interest in Cash Genie, which offers short-term consumer loans online in the United Kingdom.
Our vision is to be the global leader in providing customers with instant cash solutions where they want, when they want and how they want, and we are making the investments in both storefronts and technology platforms to achieve that vision.
At December 31, 2012, we operated a total of 1,369 locations, consisting of:

• | 489 U.S. pawn stores (operating primarily as EZPAWN or Value Pawn);

• | 7 U.S. buy/sell stores (operating as Cash Converters);

• | 254 Mexico pawn stores (operating as Empeño Fácil or Empeñe su Oro;

• | 20 Mexico buy/sell stores (operating as TUYO);

• | 486 U.S. financial services stores (operating primarily as EZMONEY);

• | 33 financial services stores in Canada (operating as CASHMAX );

• | 35 buy/sell and financial services stores in Canada (operating as Cash Converters); and

• | 45 Crediamigo locations in Mexico.

In addition, we are the franchisor for 10 franchised Cash Converters stores in Canada. We also own almost 30% of Albemarle & Bond Holdings, PLC, one of the U.K.’s largest pawnbroking businesses with over 230 stores, and almost 33% of Cash Converters International Limited, which franchises and operates a worldwide network of over 700 locations that buy and sell second-hand merchandise and offer financial services.
Our business consists of three reportable segments: The U.S. & Canada segment, which includes all business activities in the United States and Canada; the Latin America segment, which includes our Empeño Fácil and Empeñe su Oro pawn business, TUYO buy/sell business, and Crediamigo financial services operations in Mexico; and the Other International segment, which currently includes the Cash Genie online business in the U.K. and our equity interests in the net income of Albemarle & Bond and Cash Converters International.

Pawn and Retail Activities
Our pawn stores make pawn loans, which are typically small, non-recourse loans collateralized by tangible personal property. At December 31, 2012 , we had an aggregate pawn loan principal balance of $162.1 million, and the average pawn loan was approximately $125. We earn pawn service charge revenue on our pawn lending. In the current quarter, pawn service charges accounted for approximately 24% of our total revenues and 38% of our net revenues.
While allowable service charges vary by state and loan size, a majority of our U.S. pawn loans earn 20% per month. Our average U.S. pawn loan amount typically ranges between $135 to $145, but varies depending on the valuation of each item pawned. The total U.S. loan term ranges between 60 and 120 days, consisting of the primary term and grace period. In Mexico, pawn service charges range from 15% to 21% per month, including applicable taxes, with the majority of loans earning 21%. The total Mexico pawn loan term is 40 days, consisting of the primary term and grace period. Individual loans are made in Mexican pesos and vary depending on the valuation of each item pawned, but typically average $65 U.S. dollars.
In our pawn and buy/sell stores, we acquire inventory for retail sales through pawn loan forfeitures, purchases of customers’ second hand merchandise or purchases of new or refurbished merchandise from third party vendors. The gross profit on sales of inventory depends primarily on our assessment of the loan or purchase value at the time the property is either accepted as loan collateral or purchased. Margins achieved upon sale of inventory are a function of the assessment of value at the time the pawn loan was originated or, in the case of purchased merchandise, the purchase price.
We record a valuation allowance for obsolete or slow-moving inventory based on the type and age of merchandise. We generally establish a higher allowance percentage on general merchandise, as it is more susceptible to obsolescence, and establish a lower allowance percentage on jewelry, as it generally has greater inherent commodity value. At December 31, 2012, our total allowance was 4.9% of gross inventory compared to 7.4% at December 31, 2011 and 4.9% at September 30, 2012. Changes in the valuation allowance are charged to merchandise cost of goods sold.

Consumer Loan Activities
At December 31, 2012, our financial services stores and certain pawn stores in Texas offered credit services to customers seeking short-term consumer loans from unaffiliated lenders. We do not participate in any of the loans made by the lenders, but earn a fee for helping customers obtain credit and for enhancing customers’ creditworthiness by providing letters of credit to the unaffiliated lenders. Customers may obtain two types of consumer loans from the unaffiliated lenders. In all stores offering consumer loan credit services, customers can obtain single-payment unsecured consumer loans, with principal amounts up to $1,500 but averaging about $490. Terms of these loans are generally less than 30 days, averaging about 16 days, with due dates corresponding with the customers’ next payday. We typically earn a fee of 22% of the loan amount for our credit services offered in connection with single-payment loans. In the financial services stores offering credit services, customers can obtain longer-term unsecured multiple-payment loans from the unaffiliated lenders. There are two types of multiple-payment loans offered in connection with our credit services. All multiple-payment loans typically carry terms of about five months with ten equal installment payments, including principal amortization, due on customers’ paydays. Traditional multiple-payment loan principal amounts range from $1,525 to $3,000, but average about $2,420, and with each semi-monthly or bi-weekly installment payment, we earn a fee of 11% of the initial loan amount. Low dollar multiple-payment loan principal amounts range from $100 to $1,500, but average about $805. With each semi-monthly or bi-weekly installment payment, we earn a fee of 13-14% of the initial loan amount. At December 31, 2012, single-payment loans comprised 86% of the balance of signature loans brokered through our credit services, and multiple-payment loans comprised the remaining 14%.
Outside of Texas, we earn loan fee revenue on our consumer loans. In our U.S. and Canada financial services stores and certain of our U.S. pawn stores, we offer single-payment loans subject to state or provincial law. The average single-payment loan amount is approximately $430 and the term is generally less than 30 days, averaging about 17 days. We typically charge a fee of 15% to 22% of the loan amount. In many of our U.S. financial services stores, we offer multiple-payment loans subject to state law. These multiple-payment loans carry a term of four to seven months, with a series of equal installment payments including principal amortization, due monthly, semi-monthly or on the customers’ paydays. Total interest and fees on these loans vary in accordance with state law and loan terms, but over the entire loan term, total approximately 45% to 130% of the original principal amount of the loan. Multiple-payment loan principal amounts range from $100 to $3,000, but average approximately $560.
At December 31, 2012, most of our U.S. financial services stores and certain of our U.S. pawn stores offered auto title loans or, in Texas, credit services to assist customers in obtaining auto title loans from unaffiliated lenders. Auto title loans are 30-day loans secured by the titles to customers’ automobiles. Loan principal amounts range from $100 to $10,000, but average about $925. We earn a fee of 12.5% to 25% of auto title loan amounts. In Texas, we assist customers in obtaining multiple-payment auto title loans from unaffiliated lenders. These loans typically carry terms of two to five months with up to ten payment. Multiple payment auto title loan principal amounts range from $100 to $10,000, but average about $1,040, and we earn a fee of 2% to 41% of the initial loan amount.
In Mexico, Crediamigo offers multiple-payment consumer loans with typical annual yields of around 27% and collects interest and principal through payroll deductions. The average loan is approximately $1,250 with a term of 32 months.
In the U.K., Cash Genie offers unsecured single payment loans with a fixed fee of 30% of the loan amount. Loans are due within 28 days and can be renewed. Principal loan amounts range from $125 to $833 but average $300.
Acquisitions
In the current quarter, we acquired 12 pawn stores in the U.S. for $23.1 million and Go Cash, a U.S. online lender, for $50.7 million. As part of these two acquisitions, we began store operations in the state of Arizona and online operations in the state of Ohio, bringing the total number of states in which we operate to 26 at December 31, 2012. In the current quarter, we acquired a 51% interest in Renueva Comercial S.A. de C.V., a company headquartered in Mexico City and doing business under the name “TUYO.” TUYO owns and operates 20 buy/sell stores in Mexico City and the surrounding metropolitan area and is included in our current quarter results. In the current quarter, we increased our interest from 72% to 95% in Cash Genie, our online lending subsidiary in the U.K.
International Growth
With continued execution of the our geographic and product diversification strategy, nearly 22% of our consolidated segment contribution in the quarter was attributable to areas outside the United States, up from 11% a year earlier. Total revenue in the Latin America and Other International segments combined more than doubled, with combined segment contribution increasing 75%. These year-over year increases are the result of continued strength in our Empeño Fácil and Crediamigo businesses in Mexico, our Cash Genie business in the U.K.,the acquisition of controlling interests in TUYO, and our strategic investments in the United Kingdom and Australia.

Critical Accounting Policies
There have been no changes in critical accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012.
Reclassifications
Previously, we reported segment information based primarily on product offerings. Beginning with the second quarter of fiscal 2012, we redefined our reportable operating segments based on geography as our company is increasingly being organized and managed along geographic lines, with product offerings and channels based on local custom and regulation. For this reason, we concluded that segment reporting based on geography more closely aligns with our management organization and strategic direction. In connection with the new segment structure, we have changed the accountability for, and reporting of, certain items, including administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest and our equity in the net income of unconsolidated affiliates. When practical, these items are allocated to segments. Interest is also allocated to operating segments when debt is incurred at the local country level and is non-recourse to EZCORP These items are now included in the segment’s measure of profit or loss (“segment contribution”). Expenses that cannot be allocated are included as corporate expenses.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2012, the FASB ASU 2012-04, Technical Corrections and Improvements. This update clarifies the Codification or corrects unintended application of guidance and includes amendments identifying when the use of fair value should be linked to the definition of fair value in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. Amendments to the Codification without transition guidance are effective upon issuance for both public and nonpublic entities. For public entities, amendments subject to transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. We do not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2012-04 will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This update, which amends FASB ASC 210 (Balance Sheet), requires entities to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements and the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The amendments in ASU 2011-11 enhance disclosures required by FASB ASC 210 by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either offset in accordance with FASB ASC 210-20-45 or 815-10-45 or are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Disclosures are required retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. Currently, we do not enter into any right of offset arrangements and the adoption of ASU 2011-11will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Three Months Ended December 31, 2012 vs. Three Months Ended December 31, 2011
The following discussion compares our results of operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 to the quarter ended December 31, 2011. It should be read with the accompanying unaudited financial statements and related notes.
In the current quarter, consolidated total revenues increased 11%, or $28.3 million, to $277.1 million, compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily driven by a 10% increase in pawn service charges, a 44% increase in consumer loan fees and an 10% increase in merchandise sales, partially offset by a 19% decrease in jewelry scrapping sales. Other revenue increased $4.1 million in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. Net revenues of $175.4 million, increased $21.3 million, or 14%, and operations expense increased $24.7 million or 30%. Administrative expenses of $13.7 million increased $2.0 million, or 17%. After a $2.4 million increase in depreciation and amortization, a $3.1 million increase in net interest expense, a $3.7 million decrease in income tax expense and the $1.4 million in net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest, net income attributable to EZCORP decreased $8.6 million, or 22%, to $30.7 million.

The U.S. & Canada segment total revenues stayed relatively constant compared to the prior year quarter at $229.6 million. Same store total revenues decreased $13.3 million, or 6%, and new and acquired stores net of closed stores contributed $13.5 million. In the current quarter, we acquired 12 pawn stores in the U.S. for $23.1 million and Go Cash, a U.S. online lender for $50.7 million. As part of these acquisitions, we began store operations in the state of Arizona and online operations in the state of Ohio, bringing the total number of states in which we operate to 26 at December 31, 2012. In the current quarter we opened 51 de novo locations bringing our total number of stores in the U.S. & Canada to 1,050, an 11% increase over the prior year quarter.
Our current quarter pawn service charge revenue increased 7%, or $3.8 million, from the prior year quarter to $58.2 million. The overall increase was due to a higher average loan balance for the period, $147.1 million at quarter end, a 5% increase in total and 1% decrease on a same store basis. Same store pawn service charges increased $2.1 million, or 4%, with new and acquired stores net of closed stores contributing $1.7 million. The same store improvement was due to a 5 percentage point improvement in yield, driven primarily by rate increases in Nevada and operational improvements in Texas.

The current quarter merchandise sales gross profit increased $0.6 million, or 2%, from the prior year quarter to $33.7 million. Same store merchandise sales were flat and new and acquired stores net of closed stores contributed $3.8 million. The 1.3 percentage point decrease in gross margin was due to a one-time inventory reserve adjustment in the prior year quarter. Excluding the effect of that adjustment, gross margin increased 1.4 percentage points.
Gross profit on jewelry scrapping sales decreased $6.7 million, or 34%, from the prior year quarter to $13.0 million. Jewelry scrapping revenues decreased $10.7 million, or 20%, due to a 28% decrease in gold volume partially offset by a 5% increase in proceeds realized per gram of gold jewelry scrapped. Same store jewelry scrapping sales decreased $13.4 million, or 25%, and new and acquired stores contributed $2.7 million. Jewelry scrapping sales include the sale of approximately $3.3 million of loose diamonds removed from scrap jewelry in the current quarter and $1.7 million in the prior year quarter. Scrap cost of goods decreased $4.0 million, or 12%, as a result of the decrease in volume, partially offset by a 16% increase average cost per gram of jewelry scrapped. The decrease in scrap sales and increase in cost is a function of a very competitive marketplace and our intention to gain market share.
The current quarter’s consumer loan fees increased $0.9 million, or 2% to $46.0 million, over the prior year quarter. Consumer loan bad debt as a percentage of fees was 25% in the current quarter compared to 24% in the prior year quarter, mostly due to the higher mix of new stores. In the current quarter, the profitability of the financial services business was negatively impacted as a result of ordinances enacted in Dallas and Austin. Other Texas cities have adopted or are considering lending ordinances. We are actively supporting the enactment of consistent statewide regulation and expect the Texas Legislature to consider such a measure in the near future.
The current quarter's other revenues increased $2.2 million, over the prior year quarter to $2.8 million. The increase is mainly due to $2.2 million of fees related to the Western Union agreement. In the current quarter we began offering Western Union money transfer, money order and consumer bill payment services at certain locations and expect to expand to all stores in the U.S. and Canada during the remaining of fiscal 2013.
Operations expense increased to $87.4 million (38% of revenues) in the current quarter from $75.0 million (33% of revenues) in the prior year quarter. The increase is due to higher operating costs resulting from new and acquired stores, as well as the costs associated with various business unit growth initiatives, which were recorded as operations expense. Depreciation and amortization increased 27%, or $0.9 million, from the prior year quarter to $4.1 million, mainly due to assets placed in service at new and acquired stores. The $1.1 million decrease in other income is due to a prior year gain on a gold hedging instrument.
In the current quarter, U.S. & Canada delivered a segment contribution of $50.6 million, a $14.3 million decrease compared to the prior year quarter, driven by the challenges related to jewelry merchandise sales and gold scrap sales. In the current quarter, the U.S. & Canada segment's contribution represents 78% of consolidated segment contribution compared to 89% in the prior year. Our expansion outside of the U.S. & Canada segment, both through de novo and acquisitions, continues to diversify the revenues and earnings composition of EZCORP. While the U.S. & Canada segment has experienced some challenges related to jewelry merchandise sales and gold scrap sales, the core elements of our business have continued to show strength. We believe that our year over year contribution performance will improve each quarter and that we will return to contribution growth in the second half of fiscal 2013.

The average exchange rate used to translate Latin America’s current quarter results from Mexican pesos to U.S. dollars was 12.9 to 1, 5% stronger than the prior year quarter’s rate of 13.6 to 1. Total revenues increased 107% in U.S. dollars and 97% in peso terms. Total segment operating expenses increased 160% in U.S. dollars and 148% increase in peso terms. In the current quarter, we opened 24 de novo stores, and on November 1, 2012, we acquired a 51% interest in Renueva Comercial S.A. de C.V., a company headquartered in Mexico City and doing business under the name “TUYO.” TUYO owns and operates 20 buy/sell stores in Mexico City and the surrounding metropolitan area and is included in our current quarter results.
The Latin America segment's total revenues increased $20.8 million, or 107%, in the current quarter to $40.2 million. Same store total revenues increased 15% to $22.4 million, and new and acquired stores contributed $17.8 million. The overall increase in total revenues was partly due to the inclusion of Crediamigo's $12.7 million in total revenues. Excluding Crediamigo, total revenues increased $8.1 million due to a $5.0 million increase in merchandise and jewelry scrapping sales, a $2.4 million increase in pawn service charges and a $0.7 million increase in other revenues.

Latin America’s pawn service charge revenues increased $2.4 million, or 44%, in the current quarter to $7.8 million. Same store pawn service charges increased 25% to $6.8 million and new and acquired stores contributed $1.0 million. The increase was due to a 51% total and 28% same store increase in the average outstanding pawn loan balance during the period.
Merchandise gross profit increased $1.0 million, or 18%, from the prior year quarter to $6.3 million. The increase was due to a $2.1 million, or 20%, same store sales increase and $2.7 million in sales from new and acquired stores offset by a 10.2 percentage point decrease in gross margin to 42%. The decrease in margin was due to a one-time inventory reserve adjustment in the prior year quarter and more aggressive pricing during the holiday season.
Gross profit on jewelry scrapping sales decreased $0.5 million, or 41%, as the 7% increase in jewelry scrapping revenues was offset by the $0.8 million, or 34%, increase in jewelry scrapping cost of goods sold. The 2% increase in proceeds realized per gram of gold jewelry scrapped was offset by the 23% increase in cost per gram processed. Same store jewelry scrapping sales decreased $0.5 million, or 13%, and new and acquired stores contributed $0.7 million.
The Crediamigo acquisition in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 marked our initial entry into the non-secured loan business in Mexico. In the current quarter, Crediamigo contributed consumer loan fees of $11.9 million and other revenues of $0.8 million, with a benefit in bad debt, due to the sale of past due loans and recoveries of loans previously written off to bad debt expense.
Operations expense increased to $15.7 million (39% of revenues) in the current quarter from $7.0 million (36% of revenues) in the prior year quarter. The increase is due to higher operating costs resulting from the addition of 62 Empeño Fácil stores since the prior year quarter, the inclusion Crediamigo and TUYO's expenses and other growth initiatives. Depreciation and amortization increased 118%, or $0.9 million from the prior year quarter to $1.7 million, mainly due to new assets placed in service at new stores and acquisition related assets.
The $2.6 million interest expense is due to debt acquired as part of the Crediamigo acquisition. At December 31, 2012 Crediamigo had $92.9 million third-party debt outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 11%, compared to an 18% weighted average interest rate at acquisition. The decrease in the interest rate is due to the refinancing of various debt instruments.
In the current quarter, the $17.3 million increase in net revenues was partially offset by the $12.4 million higher expenses, resulting in a $4.9 million increase in contribution for the Latin America segment. For the current quarter Latin America's segment contribution represented 15% of consolidated segment contribution compared to 6% a year ago, this 9 percentage point increase makes Latin America our fastest growing segment.

On April 14, 2012, we acquired a 72% interest in Cash Genie, an online lending business in the U.K., and on November 14, 2012, we acquired an additional 23% of their ordinary shares outstanding, increasing our ownership percentage from 72% to 95%, with the remaining 5% held by local management. In the current quarter, Cash Genie's consumer loan fees were $6.9 million, with bad debt as a percentage of fees at 53%. Cash Genie's operations expense during the current quarter was $4.1 million with depreciation and amortization at $0.1 million.
Our equity in the net income of unconsolidated affiliates increased $0.9 million, or 21%, from prior year to $5.0 million. This increase is due to strong performance by Cash Converters International and a slight increase by Albemarle & Bond. In the current quarter, in order to maintain our ownership percentage of approximately 33%, we acquired an additional 12,430,000 ordinary shares of Cash Converters International as part of a share placement. We expect the new funds to be used to finance expansion and drive future earnings growth.
In the current quarter, the $3.7 million increase in net revenues and the $0.9 million million increase in our equity in the net income of unconsolidated affiliates were mostly offset by a $3.5 million increase in operations expense. Segment contribution from the Other International segment increased $1.1 million to $4.6 million. For the current quarter, the segment's contribution represents 7% of total contribution compared to 5% in the prior year quarter.

Net income attributable to EZCORP, Inc. | $ | 30,717 |  |  | $ | 39,352 |

Administrative expenses increased $2.0 million, or 17%, due to continued investment in growth, profitability initiatives and infrastructure to support the efficient management of a larger, more complex global company. Interest expense increased $0.4 million, or 73%, due to greater utilization of our revolver. Depreciation and amortization increased $0.6 million, or 45%, due to new assets placed in service as a result of investment in infrastructure to support our globalization strategy. The $0.4 million other income was due to foreign currency transaction gains.
Consolidated income before taxes decreased $10.9 million, or 18%, to $48.6 million due to a $4.9 million and $1.1 million increase in contribution from the Latin America and Other International segments respectively, offset by a $14.3 million decrease in contribution from the U.S. & Canada segment and a $2.6 million increase in corporate expenses. The $14.3 million decrease in contribution from the U.S. & Canada segment was due to a combination of reduced gross profit on jewelry scrapped and an increase in operating costs to support a rapidly growing store base.
Income tax expense was $16.5 million, 33.9% of pre-tax income. The effective tax rate remained flat when compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to the undistributed foreign earnings for which no U.S. taxes are provided because such earnings are intended to be permanently reinvested outside the United States.
In the current quarter, net income attributable to EZCORP decreased $8.6 million, or 22%, to $30.7 million, after the $1.4 million of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In the current quarter, our $30.5 million cash flow from operations consisted of (i) net income plus several non-cash items, aggregating to $45.9 million, $1.5 million in dividends from Cash Converters International, net of (ii) $17.0 million of normal, recurring changes in operating assets and liabilities. In the prior year quarter, our $45.6 million cash flow from operations consisted of (i) net income plus several non-cash items, aggregating to $46.1 million, $2.2 million in dividends from Cash Converters International, net of (ii) $2.7 million of normal, recurring changes in operating assets and liabilities. The primary differences in cash flow from operations between the current and prior years were the decrease in net income, the increase in inventory and the increase in our prepaid expenses and other current assets. The increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets is due to proceeds on our sales of scrapped inventory received subsequent to December 31, 2012.
The $47.8 million of net cash used in investing activities during the current current was funded by cash flow from operations, cash on hand and borrowings on our line of credit facility. We invested $11.0 million in Cash Converters International as part of a share placement. We invested $12.3 million in cash to acquire 12 pawn stores in the U.S. and to acquire a 51% interest in TUYO. Other significant investments in the period were the $8.9 million in additions of property and equipment and the $15.6 million of loans made in excess of customer loan repayments and the recovery of principal through the sale of forfeited pawn loan collateral.

The net effect of these and other smaller cash flows was a $1.8 million decrease in cash on hand, providing a $46.7 million ending cash balance.
Below is a summary of our cash needs to meet future aggregate contractual obligations:

* Excludes debt premium related to Crediamigo |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
** Future interest on long-term obligations calculated on interest rates effective at the balance sheet date

In addition to the contractual obligations in the table above, we are obligated under letters of credit issued to unaffiliated lenders as part of our credit service operations. At December 31, 2012, our maximum exposure for losses on letters of credit, if all brokered loans defaulted and none were collected, was $33.1 million. Of that total, $9.0 million was secured by titles to customers’ automobiles. These amounts include principal, interest and insufficient funds fees.
In addition to the operating lease obligations in the table above, we are responsible for the maintenance, property taxes and insurance at most of our locations. In the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, these collectively amounted to $17.9 million.
The operating lease obligations in the table above include expected rent for all our store locations through the end of their current lease terms. Of the 486 U.S. EZMONEY financial services stores, 203 adjoin an EZPAWN store. The lease agreements at approximately 93% of the remaining 283 free-standing EZMONEY stores contain provisions that limit our exposure for additional rent to only a few months if laws were enacted that had a significant negative effect on our operations at these stores.
In the remaining nine months of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013, we plan to open 10 to 15 pawn stores in the U.S., 55 to 65 pawn stores in Mexico and 25 to 35 financial services stores in the U.S. (most of which will follow our store-within-a-store format). The aggregate investment for this de novo activity is expected to be $16.4 million of capital expenditures plus the funding of working capital and start-up losses. We believe new stores will create a drag on earnings and liquidity until their second year of operations.
On May 10, 2011, we entered into a new senior secured credit agreement with a syndication of five banks, replacing our previous credit agreement. Among other things, the new credit agreement provides for a four year $175 million revolving credit facility that we may, under the terms of the agreement, request to be increased to a total of $225 million. Upon entering the new credit agreement, we repaid and retired all other outstanding debt. The new credit facility increases our available credit and provides greater flexibility to make investments and acquisitions both domestically and internationally. Terms of the credit agreement require, among other things, that we meet certain financial covenants. We were in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2012 and expect to remain in compliance based on our expected future performance. At December 31, 2012, we had borrowed $142.6 million, leaving $32.4 available on the facility.
We anticipate that cash flow from operations, cash on hand and availability under our revolving credit facility will be adequate to fund our contractual obligations, planned store growth, capital expenditures and working capital requirements during the coming year.
At the beginning of the current quarter, we had an effective “shelf” Registration Statement on Form S-4 covering an aggregate of 2.0 million shares of our Class A Common Stock that we may offer from time to time in connection with future acquisitions of businesses, assets or securities, with 1.2 million shares remaining for issuance. During the quarter, we issued all the remaining shares in connection with the acquisition of 12 pawn stores in Arizona, and as of the end of the quarter, have no remaining shares covered by the registration statement.
On February 3, 2012, we filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 registering the offer and sale of an indeterminate amount of a variety of securities, including debt securities (and related guarantees), equity securities, warrants to purchase debt or equity securities, stock purchase contracts and stock purchase units. The proceeds of any offering and sale under that registration statement will be used for general corporate
46

Table of Contents
purposes, including debt reduction or refinancing, acquisitions, capital expenditures and working capital. Unless otherwise indicated in connection with a particular offering of debt securities, each of our domestic subsidiaries will fully and unconditionally guarantee on a joint and several basis our payment obligations under such debt securities. As of December 31, 2012, we had not issued any securities under this registration statement.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We issue letters of credit (“LOCs”) to enhance the creditworthiness of our credit service customers seeking signature loans and auto title loans from unaffiliated lenders. The LOCs assure the lenders that if borrowers default on the loans, we will pay the lenders, upon demand, the principal and accrued interest owed them by the borrowers plus any insufficient funds fees or late fees. We do not record on our balance sheet the loans related to our credit services as the loans are made by unaffiliated lenders. We do not consolidate the unaffiliated lenders’ results with our results as we do not have any ownership interest in the lenders, do not exercise control over them and do not otherwise meet the criteria for consolidation as prescribed by FASB ASC 810-10-25 regarding variable interest entities.
We include an allowance for Expected LOC Losses in “Accounts payable and other accrued expenses” on our balance sheet. At December 31, 2012, the allowance for Expected LOC Losses was $2.4 million. At that date, our maximum exposure for losses on letters of credit, if all brokered loans defaulted and none were collected, was $33.1 million. This amount includes principal, interest and insufficient funds fees.
We have no other off-balance sheet arrangements.
Seasonality
Historically, pawn service charges are highest in our fourth fiscal quarter (July through September) due to a higher average loan balance during the summer lending season. Merchandise sales are highest in the first and second fiscal quarters (October through March) due to the holiday season, jewelry sales surrounding Valentine’s Day and the impact of tax refunds in the United States. Jewelry scrapping sales are heavily influenced by the timing of decisions to scrap excess jewelry inventory. Jewelry scrapping sales generally are greatest during our fourth fiscal quarter (July through September). This results from relatively low jewelry merchandise sales in that quarter and the higher loan balance, leading to a higher dollar amount of loan forfeitures in the summer lending season providing more inventory available for sale.
Consumer loan fees are generally highest in our fourth and first fiscal quarters (July through December) due to a higher need for cash during the holiday season. Consumer loan bad debt, both in dollar terms and as a percentage of related fees, is highest in the fourth fiscal quarter and lowest in the second fiscal quarter due primarily to the impact of tax refunds in the U.S.
The payroll withholding lending business is less impacted by seasonality, with the exception of the summer months when new loan originations tend to moderate.
The net effect of these factors is that net revenues and net income typically are strongest in the fourth fiscal quarter and weakest in the third fiscal quarter.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, inventory, loan loss allowances, long-lived and intangible assets, income taxes, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience, observable trends and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. We use this information to make judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from the estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk related to interest rates, gold values and changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Our earnings are affected by changes in interest rates as some of our debt has a variable rate. If interest rates average 50 basis points more than our current rate in the remaining three months of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013, our interest expense during that period would increase by approximately $700,000. This amount is determined by considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rate change on our variable-rate debt at December 31, 2012.
Our earnings and financial position are affected by changes in gold values and the resulting impact on pawn lending, jewelry sales and jewelry cost of goods sold. The proceeds of scrap sales and our ability to sell jewelry inventory at an acceptable margin depend on gold values. The impact on our financial position and results of operations of a hypothetical change in gold values cannot be reasonably estimated.
Our earnings and financial position are affected by foreign exchange rate fluctuations related to our equity investments in Albemarle & Bond and Cash Converters International, our Empeño Fácil pawn operations, TUYO retail operations and Crediamigo operations in Mexico, our operations in Canada and our Cash Genie operations in the U.K. Albemarle & Bond and Cash Genie's functional currency is the British pound, Cash Converters’ International functional currency is the Australian dollar, Empeño Fácil and Crediamigo’s functional currency is the Mexican peso and our Canada operations’ functional currency is the Canadian dollar. The impact on our results of operations and financial position of hypothetical changes in foreign currency exchange rates cannot be reasonably estimated due to the interrelationship of operating results and exchange rates.
The translation adjustment from Albemarle & Bond representing the strengthening in the British pound during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 (included in our December 31, 2012 results on a three-month lag) was a $0.9 million increase to stockholders’ equity. The translation adjustment from Cash Genie also represents the weakening in the British pound, was an immaterial decrease to stockholders' equity. On December 31, 2012, the British pound weakened to £1.00 to $1.6153 U.S. from $1.6164 at September 30, 2012
The translation adjustment from Cash Converters International representing the strengthening in the Australian dollar during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 (included in our December 31, 2012 results on a three-month lag) was a $2.8 million increase to stockholders’ equity. On December 31, 2012, the Australian dollar weakened to $1.00 Australian dollar to $1.0371 U.S. from $1.0377 at September 30, 2012
The translation adjustment from Latin America representing the weakening of the Mexican peso during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 was a $1.4 million decrease to stockholders’ equity. We have currently assumed permanent reinvestment of earnings and capital in Mexico. Accumulated translation gains or losses related to any future repatriation of earnings or capital would impact our earnings in the period of repatriation. On December 31, 2012, the peso weakened to $1.00 Mexican peso to $0.0770 U.S. from $0.0778 at September 30, 2012.
The translation adjustment from our Canadian operations representing the weakening of the Canadian dollar during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 was a $0.2 million decrease to stockholders' equity. On December 31, 2012, the Canadian dollar weakened to $1.00 Canadian dollar to $1.0031 U.S. from $1.0164 at September 30, 2012.
We cannot predict the future valuation of foreign currencies or how further movements in them could affect our future earnings or financial position.
Forward-Looking Information
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We intend that all forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created by these laws. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, future revenues, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives are forward-looking statements. These statements are often, but not always, made with words or phrases like “may,” “should,” “could,” “will,” “predict,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection” and similar expressions. Such statements are only predictions of the outcome and timing of future events based on our current expectations and currently available information and, accordingly, are subject to substantial risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements due to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, we cannot predict all of the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ from those expressed in the forward-

looking statements. Accordingly, you should not regard any forward-looking statements as a representation that the expected results will be achieved. Important risk factors that could cause results or events to differ from current expectations are identified and described in “Part II, Item 1A—Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report and “Part I, Item 1A—Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012.
We specifically disclaim any responsibility to publicly update any information contained in a forward-looking statement except as required by law. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
This report includes the certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer required by Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act). See Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2. This Item 4 includes information concerning the controls and control evaluations referred to in those certifications.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2012. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2012.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Internal Controls
Notwithstanding the foregoing, management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be met. Limitations inherent in any control system include the following:

• | Judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and control and process breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes.

• | Controls can be circumvented by individuals, acting alone or in collusion with others, or by management override.

• | The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

• | Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures.

• | The design of a control system must reflect the fact that resources are constrained, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Currently and from time to time, we are defendants in various legal and regulatory actions. While we cannot determine the ultimate outcome of these actions, we believe their resolution will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. However, we cannot give any assurance as to their ultimate outcome.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Important risk factors that could affect our operations and financial performance, or that could cause results or events to differ from current expectations, are described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012. These factors are supplemented by those discussed under “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Part I, Item 3 of this report and in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012.
