To make this determination, we evaluated the examples of such events and circumstances included in ASC 350-20-35-3C(a) through (g).  Also, in accordance with ASC 350-20-35-3F and G, we evaluated on the basis of the weight of evidence the significance of identified events and circumstances along with how they could affect the relationship between the reporting unit's fair value and carrying amount, including positive mitigating events and circumstances.

Some Texas cities have enacted ordinances imposing restrictions on certain financial services products we can offer.  While, we expect these ordinances to have a negative impact on our financial services business in those cities, we cannot yet determine the extent of the effect on our financial statements as a whole; therefore, we cannot conclude it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:48px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:36px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">c.</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Cost factors such as increases in raw materials, labor, or other costs that have a negative effect on earnings and cash flows. </font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Consideration:  We buy and sell gold and gold related products, and we and the overall industry experienced declines due to the rapid decrease in gold prices in the prior year.  Because gold prices have remained relatively consistent for the past 11 months, we believe the impact of the previous rapid decline has been mitigated as we anniversary the date of the prior year decline, and comparable periods in the current year are expected and planned to surpass prior year results.  In addition, our expense reduction initiatives are also on track, delivering the quarter-on-quarter improvement that we expected.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:48px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:36px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">d.</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Overall financial performance such as negative or declining cash flows or a decline in actual or planned revenue or earnings compared with actual and projected results of relevant prior periods. </font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Consideration:  We considered our actual results compared to planned results and determined this was a positive indicator of the trend for the current year compared to the prior year.  In our second quarter of fiscal year 2014, excluding certain one-time events and expected decrease in gold scrapping, compared to second quarter fiscal 2013 total revenues were up 4%, our adjusted net income was $20 million, and net earning assets increased to $417 million, an increase of 7%.  While our cash flows from operations has significantly decreased from the prior year, we have seen a 66% increase from the second half of fiscal 2013 to the first half of fiscal 2014.  The improvement in operating cash flows is mostly due to the increase in net income.  Based on these operational highlights we concluded that our financial results for the first half of fiscal 2014 were not indicative of an ongoing negative trend that would lead us to conclude it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:48px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:36px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">e.</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Other relevant entity-specific events such as changes in management, key personnel, strategy, or customers; contemplation of bankruptcy; or litigation. </font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Consideration:  We have not experienced significant changes in management, except for the announcement of the retirement of our chairman of the board in our second quarter.  We do not anticipate this event to have an adverse effect on our operations.   In addition, we have not experienced significant changes in strategy or customers, nor have we contemplated bankruptcy, or have any significant litigation ongoing. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:48px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:36px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">f.</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Events affecting a reporting unit, such as a change in the composition or carrying amount of its net assets, a more-likely-than-not expectation of selling or disposing all, or a portion of a reporting unit, the testing for recoverability of a significant asset group within a reporting unit, or recognition of a goodwill impairment loss in the financial statements of a subsidiary that is a component of a reporting unit. </font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Consideration:  No such events have occurred.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:48px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:36px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">g.</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">If applicable, a sustained decrease in share price (consider in both absolute terms and relative to peers) </font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Consideration:  We believe the stock price decline resulted from the rapid decline in the price of gold and various one-time charges, which are not indicative of our ongoing performance and overall value.  In addition, our capital stock consists of two classes of common stock designated as Class A Non-Voting Common Stock and Class B Voting Common Stock.  The rights, preferences and privileges of the Class A Non-Voting Common Stock and Class B Voting Common Stock are similar except that each share of Class B Voting Common Stock has one vote and each share of Class A Non-Voting Common Stock has no voting privileges, except as required by law.  Our Class B Voting Common Stock is held by one holder and is not traded.  All of our publicly traded stock is Class A Non-Voting stock. The lack of voting rights (control) undervalues the price of our publicly traded Class A Non-Voting Common Stock and our market capitalization is not representative of our total fair value; therefore, we believe our implied control premium is </font></div><br><div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><br><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">acceptable as of March 31, 2014.  As a result, even though we do monitor the share price of the Class A Non-Voting Common Stock, we do not believe our decrease in share price and implied control premium is indicative of a trigger for a fiscal 2014 interim impairment test under ASC 350-20-35-30.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Based on consideration of the weight of evidence of the factors described above, we concluded that it was not more likely than not that a goodwill impairment existed at our second quarter interim date.  We will continue to monitor if an interim triggering event is present in subsequent periods, and we will perform our required annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year.  For these future periods we are unable to anticipate if there will be a trigger for interim goodwill impairment test under ASC 350-20-35-30.</font></div><a name="s252D637FD12808154FB1CE145060FD8D"></a><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;padding-left:12px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Other International, page 42</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:1px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:2px;text-align:left;padding-left:60px;text-indent:-24px;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">2.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">&#32;&#32;&#32;We read your response to comment 7 of our letter dated March 31, 2014.  Explain to us in sufficient detail why you did not correct an error discovered during fiscal 2012 in the fiscal 2012 financial statements.  In doing so, explain to us how you determined the error was immaterial to your fiscal 2012 financial statements.

Due to our ownership percentage, this amounted to a $1.3 million misstatement of our equity in the net income of our unconsolidated affiliates.  Upon learning of this misstatement, we performed a materiality analysis to determine its impact on our consolidated financial statements for fiscal years 2010 through 2012. We considered both quantitative and qualitative measures in accordance with relevant accounting guidance, including SAB 99 and SAB 108.

At the closing of the transaction, it was known that we would be able to refinance certain tranches of the outstanding debt to a lower rate that would reflect market rates.  As a result,  based on a valuation at the acquisition date we recorded the fair value of the remaining tranche of the outstanding debt that we were not certain we could refinance.  We engaged an independent third party global valuation firm to assist us to determine the fair value of the assumed debt.  The fair value of this tranche of debt was determined to be higher than the book value; therefore, a premium was recorded for the difference between the stated and market interest rates. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In June 2012, Grupo Finmart refinanced one of its lines of credit originally due 2016.  The interest rate decreased from 20% to 14.5% and the maturity was extended by 6 months so that it is now due at the end of April 2017. The maximum borrowing capacity was also raised from $14.6 million to $22.0 million.  Due to the reduction of the interest rate to fair market, the remaining purchase price accounting premium established at acquisition of $2.8 million was accelerated and recognized as a reduction to interest expense in our third quarter of fiscal 2012.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In September 2012, Grupo Finmart refinanced one of its lines of credit originally due 2015.

The interest rates after the refinancings were at market rates and therefore the unamortized premiums associated with the original assumed debt were derecognized.  We believe this is the appropriate accounting for the premiums, as further amortization of these premiums over the new term would have resulted in an effective interest rate below the new stated rates, which were considered to be market rates at the refinancing dates.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:0px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><a name="sF641030BA981C4026248CE145212D8B2"></a><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">*   *   *   *</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:1px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">With respect to each of the above-referenced filings, we hereby acknowledge the following:</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:1px;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;</font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding-bottom:8px;font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:48px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:24px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#9642;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;</font></div></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding-bottom:8px;font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:48px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:24px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#9642;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to Staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and</font></div></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:48px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:24px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#9642;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company may not assert Staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.</font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">*  *  *  *  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We appreciate your comments and assistance in improving our disclosures.
