ASSET ACCEPTANCE CAPITAL CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Basis
of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

Asset Acceptance Capital Corp. (a Delaware corporation) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Company) are
engaged in the purchase and collection of defaulted and charged-off accounts receivable portfolios. These receivables are acquired from consumer credit originators, primarily credit card issuers including private label card issuers, consumer finance
companies, healthcare providers, telecommunications and other utility providers, resellers and other holders of consumer debt. The Company may periodically sell receivables from these portfolios to unaffiliated companies.

In addition, the Company finances the sales of consumer product retailers.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the Companys financial position as of March 31, 2010 and its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, and all
adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 may not be indicative of future results. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Reporting Entity

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Asset Acceptance Capital Corp. (AACC) and all
wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company currently has two operating segments, one for purchased receivables and one for finance contract receivables. The
finance contract receivables operating segment is not material and therefore is not disclosed separately from the purchased receivables segment.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items related to such
estimates include the timing and amount of future cash collections on purchased receivables, deferred tax assets, goodwill and share-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates making it reasonably possible that a change in
these estimates could occur within one year.

Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for its investment in purchased receivables using the guidance provided in the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Subtopic 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, (referred to as the Interest Method). Refer to Note 2,
Purchased Receivables and Revenue Recognition, for additional discussion of the Companys method of accounting for purchased receivables and revenue recognition.

Seasonality

Collections tend to be seasonally higher in the first and second quarters of the year due to consumers receipt of tax refunds and
other factors. Conversely, collections tend to be lower in the third and fourth quarters of the year due to consumers spending in connection with summer vacations, the holiday season and other factors. However, revenues remain relatively
level, excluding the impact of impairments, due to the application of the Interest Method of revenue recognition. In addition, the Companys operating results may be affected to a lesser extent by the timing of purchases of charged-off consumer
receivables due to the initial costs associated with purchasing and loading these receivables into the Companys systems. Consequently, income and margins may fluctuate from quarter to quarter.

Collections from Third Parties

The Company regularly utilizes unaffiliated third parties, primarily attorneys and other contingent collection agencies, to collect
certain account balances on behalf of the Company in exchange for a percentage of the balance collected. The Company records gross proceeds received by the unaffiliated third parties as cash collections. The Company records the percentage of the
gross cash collections paid to the third parties, and the reimbursement of certain legal and other costs, as a component of collections expense. The percent of gross cash collections from such third party relationships were 32.2% and 31.8% for the
three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Accrued Liabilities

Concentrations of Risk

For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company invested 89.7% and 81.0% (net of buybacks), respectively, in
purchased receivables from its top three sellers. One seller is included in the top three in both three month periods.

Interest Expense

Interest expense includes interest on the Companys credit facilities, unused facility fees, the ineffective portion of the change in
fair value of the Companys derivative financial instrument (refer to Note 4, Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management), interest payments made on the interest rate swap and amortization of deferred financing costs.
During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded interest expense of $2,628,425 and $2,642,126, including the amortization of $275,605 and $131,652 in deferred financing costs, respectively.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share reflect net income divided by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the three months ended
March 31, 2010 and 2009. Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 included 68,541 and 13,113 dilutive shares, respectively, related to outstanding stock options, deferred stock units
and restricted share units (collectively the Share-Based Awards). There were 833,044 and 993,652 outstanding Share-Based Awards that were not included within the diluted weighted-average shares as their fair value or exercise price
exceeded the market price of the Companys stock at March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with finite lives arising from business combinations are amortized over their
estimated useful lives, ranging from five to seven years, using the straight-line method. Goodwill and trademark and trade names with indefinite lives are not amortized, instead, these assets are reviewed annually to assess recoverability or more
frequently if impairment indicators are present. Impairment charges are recorded for intangible assets when the estimated fair value is less than the book value. Refer to Note 8, Fair Value, for additional information about the fair
value of goodwill and other intangible assets.

The first step of the goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of a
reporting unit with the book value, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its book value, goodwill is not considered impaired. The estimate of fair value of the Companys reporting unit, the purchased receivables
operating segment, is determined using various valuation techniques, including market capitalization and an analysis of discounted cash flows. At the time of the Companys annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2009, market
capitalization was substantially higher than book value and goodwill was not considered to be impaired.

During the third
quarter of 2009, the Company completed its periodic valuation of trademark and trade names and determined that the book value exceeded the fair value as a result of a decline in business activity associated with this intangible asset. As a result,
the Company recognized an impairment charge for the difference between the fair value and the book value of $1,167,600. Refer to Note 8, Fair Value for more information about the fair value calculation.

Comprehensive Income

Components of comprehensive income are changes in equity other than those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to
owners. Net income is the primary component of comprehensive income. Currently, the Companys only component of comprehensive income other than net income is the change in unrealized gain or loss on derivatives qualifying as cash flow hedges,
which are recorded net of income taxes. The aggregate amount of such changes to equity that have not yet been recognized in net income are reported in stockholders equity in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position as
Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax.

A summary of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax
is as follows:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of financial instruments is estimated using available market information and other valuation methods. Refer to Note 8,
Fair Value for more information.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The following accounting pronouncements have been issued and will be effective for the Company in or after fiscal year 2010:

In February 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance which no longer requires SEC filers to disclose the date through which it has
evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. The adoption of this guidance, as of February 24, 2010, did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance which requires additional disclosures related to the components of the reconciliation of fair
value measurements using unobservable inputs to and transfers between levels in the hierarchy of fair value measurement. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for certain
provisions related to Level 3 disclosures which are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.

2. Purchased Receivables and Revenue Recognition

Purchased receivables are receivables that have been charged-off as uncollectible by the originating organization and typically have been
subject to previous collection efforts. The Company acquires pools of accounts which are the rights to the unrecovered balances owed by individual debtors through such purchases. The receivable portfolios are purchased at a substantial discount
(generally more than 90%) from their face values due to a deterioration of credit quality since origination and are initially recorded at the Companys acquisition cost, which equals fair value at the acquisition date. Financing for the
purchases is primarily provided by the Companys cash generated from operations and from borrowings on the Companys revolving credit facility.

The Company accounts for its investment in purchased receivables using the Interest Method when the Company has a reasonable expectation
about the timing and amount of cash flows expected to be collected. The Company purchases pools of homogenous accounts receivable. Pools purchased after 2004 may be aggregated into one or more static pools within each quarter, based on common risk
characteristics and payer dynamics. Risk characteristics of purchased receivables are generally considered to be similar since purchased receivables are usually in the late stages of the post charged-off collection cycle. The Company therefore
aggregates most pools purchased within each quarter. Pools purchased before 2005 may not be aggregated. Each static pool, either aggregated or non-aggregated, retains its own identity and does not change over the remainder of its life. Each static
pool is accounted for as a single unit for recognition of revenue, principal payments and impairments.

Collections on each
static pool are allocated to revenue and principal reduction based on an internal rate of return (IRR). The IRR is the rate of return that each static pool requires to amortize the cost or carrying value of the pool to zero over its
estimated life. Each pools IRR is determined by estimating future cash flows, which are based on historical collection data for pools with similar characteristics. The actual life of each pool may vary, but will generally range between 36 and
84 months depending on the expected collection period. Monthly cash flows greater than revenue recognized will reduce the carrying value of each static pool. Monthly cash flows lower than revenue recognized will increase the carrying value of each
static pool. Each static pool is reviewed at least quarterly and compared to historical trends to determine whether it is performing as expected. This comparison is used to determine future estimated cash flows. If the revised cash flow estimates
are greater than the original estimates, the IRR is increased prospectively to reflect the revised estimate of cash flows over the remaining life of the static pool. If the revised cash flow estimates are less than the original estimates, the IRR
remains unchanged and an impairment is recognized. If cash flow estimates increase in periods subsequent to recording an impairment, reversal of the previously recognized impairment is made prior to any increases to the IRR.

The cost recovery method is used when collections on a particular portfolio cannot be
reasonably predicted. When appropriate, the cost recovery method may be used for pools that previously had an IRR assigned to them. Under the cost recovery method, no revenue is recognized until the Company has fully collected the cost of the
portfolio. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had 32 unamortized pools on the cost recovery method with an aggregate carrying value of $1,531,329 or about 0.5% of the total carrying value of all purchased receivables. As of December 31,
2009, the Company had 50 unamortized pools on the cost recovery method with an aggregate carrying value of $2,271,595, or about 0.7% of the total carrying value of all purchased receivables.

Agreements to purchase receivables typically include general representations and warranties from the sellers covering account holder
death, bankruptcy, fraud and settled or paid accounts prior to sale. These representations and warranties permit the return of certain ineligible accounts from the Company back to the seller. The general time frame to return accounts is within 90 to
180 days from the date of the purchase agreement. Proceeds from returns, also referred to as buybacks, are applied against the carrying value of the static pool.

Although not its usual business practice, the Company may periodically sell, on a non-recourse basis, all or a portion of a pool to
unaffiliated parties. The Company does not have any significant continuing involvement with the sold pools subsequent to sale. Proceeds of these sales are compared to the carrying value of the accounts and a gain or loss is recognized on the
difference between proceeds received and carrying value. The agreements to sell receivables typically include general representations and warranties, during the negotiated time frame, are netted against any Gain (loss) on sale of purchased
receivables.

Changes in purchased receivables portfolios were as follows:

3. Notes Payable

The Companys credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders named therein,
originated on June 5, 2007 and was amended on March 10, 2008 and October 27, 2009 (the Credit Agreement). Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company has a five-year $100,000,000 revolving credit facility (the
Revolving Credit Facility) and a six-year $150,000,000 term loan facility (the Term Loan Facility and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the Credit Facilities). The Credit Facilities bear interest at
150 to 250 basis points over prime depending upon the Companys liquidity, as defined in the Credit Agreement. Alternately, at the Companys discretion, the Company may borrow by entering into one, two, three, six or twelve-month contracts
based on the London Inter Bank Offer Rate (LIBOR) at rates between 250 to 350 basis points over the respective LIBOR, depending on the Companys liquidity. The Companys Revolving Credit Facility includes an accordion loan
feature that allows it to request a $25,000,000 increase as well as sublimits for $10,000,000 of letters of credit and for $10,000,000 of swingline loans. The amended Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority lien on all of the Companys
assets. The amended Credit Agreement also contains certain covenants and restrictions that the Company must comply with, which, as of March 31, 2010 were:



| |  |  | Leverage Ratio (as defined) cannot exceed (i) 1.5 to 1.0 at any time on or before December 30, 2011 or (ii) 1.25 to 1.0 at any time
thereafter;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Ratio of Consolidated Total Liabilities to Consolidated Tangible Net Worth (as defined) cannot exceed (i) 2.5 to 1.0 at any time on or before
December 30, 2011, (ii) 2.25 to 1.0 at any time on or after December 31, 2011 and on or before March 30, 2012, or (iii) 2.0 to 1.0 at any time thereafter; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Consolidated Tangible Net Worth (as defined) must equal or exceed $85,000,000 plus 50% of positive consolidated net income for three consecutive fiscal
quarters ending December 31, 2007 and for each fiscal year ending thereafter, such amount to be added as of December 31, 2007 and as of the end of each such fiscal year thereafter.

The amended Credit Agreement contains a provision that requires the Company to repay
Excess Cash Flow (as defined) to reduce the indebtedness outstanding under its Credit Agreement. The Company made required payments of $8,962,558 and $2,427,486 in March 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Excess Cash Flow payment is due within 10 days
of the issuance of the annual financial statements. The repayment provisions are:



| |  |  | 50% of the Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year if the Leverage Ratio was greater than 1.0 to 1.0 as of the end of such fiscal year;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 25% of the Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year if the Leverage Ratio was less than or equal to 1.0 to 1.0 but greater than 0.875 to 1.0 as of the end
of such fiscal year; or
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 0% if the Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 0.875 to 1.0 as of the end of such fiscal year.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Commitment fees on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility are paid quarterly, in arrears, and are calculated as an amount
equal to a margin of 0.50% on the average amount available on the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Credit Agreement requires
the Company to effectively cap, collar or exchange interest rates on a notional amount of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Facility. Refer to Note 4, Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management
for additional information.

The Company had $154,684,956 and $160,022,514 of borrowings outstanding on its Credit Facilities
at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, of which $134,484,956 and $143,822,514 was outstanding on the Term Loan Facility, respectively, and $20,200,000 and $16,200,000 was outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility,
respectively. The Term Loan Facility requires quarterly repayments totaling $1,500,000 annually until March 2013 with the remaining balance due in June 2013.

The Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2010.

4. Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Risk Management

The Company may periodically enter into derivative financial instruments, typically interest rate swap agreements, to reduce its exposure
to fluctuations in interest rates on variable-rate debt and their impact on earnings and cash flows. The Company does not utilize derivative financial instruments with a level of complexity or with a risk greater than the exposure to be managed nor
does it enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The Company periodically reviews the creditworthiness of the swap counterparty to assess the counterpartys ability to honor its obligation.

The Company records derivative financial instruments at fair value. Refer to Note 8, Fair Value for additional information.
Counterparty default would further expose the Company to fluctuations in variable interest rates.

Derivative Financial
Instruments

In September 2007, the Company entered into an amortizing interest rate swap agreement whereby, on a
quarterly basis, it swaps variable rates under its Term Loan Facility for fixed rates. At inception and for the first year, the notional amount of the swap was $125,000,000. Every year thereafter, on the anniversary of the swap agreement the
notional amount decreases by $25,000,000. As of March 31, 2010, the notional amount was $75,000,000. This swap agreement expires on September 13, 2012.

The Companys financial derivative instrument is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge. The effective portion of the gain or
loss is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (OCI) in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. To the extent that the hedging relationship is not effective, the ineffective portion of the change in fair value
of the derivative is recorded in interest expense. Hedges that receive designated hedge accounting treatment are evaluated for effectiveness at the time that they are designated as well as throughout the hedging period. As of March 31, 2010,
the Company did not have any fair value hedges.

Changes in fair value are recorded as an adjustment to OCI, net of tax. Amounts in OCI
will be reclassified into earnings under certain situations; for example, if the occurrence of the transaction is no longer probable or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. In these situations, all or a portion of the transaction would be
ineffective. The Company does not expect to reclassify any material amount currently included in OCI into earnings due to ineffectiveness within the next twelve months.

The following table summarizes the fair value of derivative instruments:

6. Share-Based Compensation

The Company adopted a stock incentive plan (the Stock Incentive Plan) during February 2004 that authorizes the use of stock
options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock grants and units, performance share awards and annual incentive awards to eligible key associates, non-associate directors and consultants. The Company reserved 3,700,000 shares of common stock
for issuance in conjunction with share-based awards to be granted under the plan of which 2,233,849 shares remain available to be granted as of March 31, 2010. The purpose of the plan is (i) to promote the best interests of the Company and
its stockholders by encouraging associates and other participants to acquire an ownership interest in the Company, thus aligning their interests with those of stockholders and (ii) to enhance the ability of the Company to attract and retain
qualified associates, non-associate directors and consultants. No participant may be granted options during any one fiscal year to purchase more than 500,000 shares of common stock.

Based on historical experience, the Company uses an annual forfeiture rate of 15% for associate grants. Grants made to non-associate
directors have no forfeiture rates associated with them due to immediate vesting of grants to this group. Total share-based compensation expense recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations was $219,009 and $236,818 for the
three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The total tax benefit related to the Stock Incentive Plan was $86,219 and $88,440 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Companys share-based compensation arrangements are described below.

Stock Options

The Company utilizes the Whaley Quadratic approximation model, an intrinsic value method, to calculate the fair value of the stock awards
on the date of grant using the assumptions noted in the following table. Changes to the subjective input assumptions can result in different fair market value estimates. With regard to the Companys assumptions stated below, the expected
volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Companys stock and managements estimate of the volatility over the contractual term of the options. The expected term of the options are based on managements estimate of the
period of time for which the options are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is derived from the five-year U.S. Treasury yield curve on the date of grant.

The following table summarizes the assumptions used to determine the fair value of stock options granted:



|                    |  |         |  |              
|------------------- |  | ------- |  | -------------
|Options issue year: |  | 2010    |  | 2009         
|Expected volatility |  | 57.20%  |  | 51.37%-54.53%
|Expected dividends  |  | 0.00%   |  | 0.00%        
|Expected term       |  | 5 Years |  | 5 Years      
|Risk-free rate      |  | 2.42%   |  | 1.98%-2.06%  

As of
March 31, 2010, the Company had options outstanding for 1,003,500 shares of its common stock under the Stock Incentive Plan. These options have been granted to key associates and non-associate directors of the Company. Option awards are
generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Companys stock at the date of grant and have contractual terms ranging from seven to ten years. The options granted to key associates generally vest between one and five
years from the grant date whereas the options granted to non-associate directors generally vest immediately. The fair value of stock options is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $2.77 and $1.65, respectively.

As of March 31, 2010,
there was $864,954 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested stock options granted under the stock incentive plan, which is comprised of $778,642 for options expected to vest and $86,312 for options not expected to vest.
Unrecognized compensation expense for options expected to vest is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.38 years.

Deferred Stock Units

As of March 31, 2010, the Company had granted 44,309 deferred stock units (DSUs) of its common stock to non-associate
directors under the Companys Stock Incentive Plan. DSUs represent the Companys obligation to deliver one share of common stock for each unit at a later date elected by the non-associate director, such as when his or her board service
ends. DSUs vest immediately upon grant and are not subject to forfeiture. DSUs do not have voting rights but would receive common stock dividend equivalents in the form of additional DSUs. The value of each DSU is equal to the market price of the
Companys stock at the date of grant.

The fair value of the DSUs granted is expensed immediately to correspond with the
vesting schedule. The related expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $25,004 and $21,880, respectively, and was included in Administrative Expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The following table summarizes all DSU related transactions from January 1, 2010 through March 31, 2010:



|                  |  |        |  |                                      |

Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units

The Company grants restricted shares and restricted share units (restricted shares and restricted share units are referred to as
RSUs) to key associates and non-associate directors under the Stock Incentive Plan. Each RSU is equal to one share of the Companys common stock. The value of the RSUs is equal to the market price of the Companys stock at the
date of grant.

The RSUs granted to associates generally vest over two to four years based upon service or performance
conditions. RSUs granted to non-associate directors generally vest when the non-associate director terminates his or her board service. Of the RSUs outstanding at March 31, 2010, 97,453 granted to associates will vest contingent on the
attainment of performance conditions.

The fair value of the RSUs is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period
based on the number of RSUs expected to vest. For RSUs with performance conditions, if those conditions are not expected to be met, the compensation expense previously recognized is reversed. The related compensation expense, net of reversals, was
as follows:



|                          |  |                             |        |      |   |

to nonvested RSUs, which is comprised of $932,834 for RSUs expected to vest and $800,556 for RSUs not expected to vest. Unrecognized compensation expense for RSUs expected to vest is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.05
years.

7. Contingencies

Litigation Contingencies

The Company is involved in certain legal matters that management considers incidental to its business. The Company recognizes liabilities
for contingencies and commitments when a loss is probable and estimable. The Company recognizes expense for defense costs when incurred. The Company does not expect these routine legal matters, either individually or the aggregate, to have a
material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Beginning in February 2006,
the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) commenced an investigation into the Companys debt collection practices under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Federal Trade Commission Act. On
April 6, 2010, the FTC delivered a letter to the Company which stated its view that the Company may have engaged in certain violations of those laws, offered it an opportunity to resolve the matter through consent negotiations, and forwarded a
proposed consent decree. The proposed consent decree includes certain monitoring and reporting obligations and customer disclosures, as well as a civil monetary penalty. The Company is currently reviewing the proposal with counsel and has begun to
discuss the matter with the FTC. Due to the early stages of the Companys discussions on this matter, an estimate of the amount or range of loss cannot be made at this time, and no accrual has been included in the Companys consolidated
financial statements as of March 31, 2010.

Registration Rights Agreement

The Company has a registration rights agreement with certain stockholders. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company will pay all costs
related to any secondary securities offering requested by these stockholders and the stockholders may sell any outstanding shares owned by them. The Company filed a registration statement on behalf of one of the selling stockholders in 2008 to
register 10,932,051 shares of common stock held by the stockholder and paid $45,246 in costs related to the registration statement. The selling stockholders collectively retain the right to request two additional registrations of specified shares
under the registration rights agreement, in which case, the Company will be required to bear applicable offering expenses in the period in which any future offering occurs.

8. Fair Value

The
Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:



|        |  |   |  |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
|------- |  | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Level 1 |  |  |  | Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.                                                                                                                                                                                   
|        |  |  
|Level 2 |  |  |  | Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and
model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
|        |  |  
|Level 3 |  |  |  | Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.         

Disclosure of the estimated
fair value of financial instruments often requires the use of estimates. The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:

Interest Rate Swap Agreement



|                             |  |                                                            |           |                                                 |   |                                        |   |           |  |

The fair
value of the interest rate swap represents the amount the Company would pay to terminate or otherwise settle the contract at financial position date, taking into consideration current unearned gains and losses. The fair value was determined using a
market approach, and is based on the three-month LIBOR curve for the remaining term of the swap agreement. Refer to Note 4, Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management, for additional information about the fair value of the
interest rate swap.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and certain intangible assets not subject to amortization are assessed annually for impairment using fair value measurement
techniques. Specifically, goodwill impairment is determined using a two-step test. The first step of the goodwill impairment test is used to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its book value, including
goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its book value, goodwill is considered not impaired and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the book value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step
of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill with the book value of that
goodwill. If the book value of the reporting units goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same
manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. That is, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination
and the fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid to acquire the reporting unit.

The estimate of fair value of the Companys goodwill is determined using various
valuation techniques including market capitalization, which is a Level 1 input, and an analysis of discounted cash flows, which includes Level 3 inputs. At the time of the annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2009, market
capitalization was substantially higher than book value and goodwill was considered not to be impaired. A discounted cash flow analysis was also performed at the time. A discounted cash flow analysis requires various judgmental assumptions including
assumptions about future cash flows, growth rates, and discount rates. The Company based assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates on its budget and long-term plans. Discount rate assumptions are based on an assessment of the risk
inherent in the reporting unit. The fair value of goodwill using a market capitalization approach and a discounted cash flow analysis exceeded the book value as of December 31, 2009.

The annual impairment test for other intangible assets not subject to amortization, for example, trademark and trade names, consists of a
comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The estimates of fair value of
intangible assets not subject to amortization are determined using various discounted cash flow valuation methodologies, which include Level 3 inputs. Significant assumptions are inherent in this process, including estimates of discount rates and
future cash flows. Discount rate assumptions are based on an assessment of the risk inherent in the respective intangible assets, and include estimates of the cost of debt and equity for market participants in the Companys industry.

The following disclosures pertain to the fair value of certain assets and liabilities, which are not measured at fair value
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Purchased Receivables

The Company initially records purchased receivables at cost, which is discounted from the contractual receivable balance. The balance of
purchased receivables is reduced as cash is received. The carrying value of receivables was $310,792,323 and $319,772,006 at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The Company computes the fair value of these receivables by
discounting the estimated future cash flows generated by its forecasting model using an adjusted weighted-average cost of capital. The fair value of purchased receivables approximated the carrying value at both March 31, 2010 and
December 31, 2009.

Credit Facilities

The Companys Credit Facilities had carrying amounts of $154,684,956 and $160,022,514 as of March 31, 2010 and December 31,
2009, respectively. The fair value of the Credit Facilities and approximated carrying value at both March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The Company computed fair value of Credit Facilities based on quoted market prices,
current market rates for similar debt with approximately the same remaining maturities or discounted cash flow models utilizing current market rates.

9. Income Taxes

The
Company recorded income tax expense of $231,482 and $2,817,997 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The provision for income tax reflects an effective income tax rate of 39.4% and 38.0% for the three months ended
March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

As of March 31, 2010, the Company had a gross unrecognized tax benefit of
$1.0 million that, if recognized, would result in a net tax benefit of approximately $0.7 million which would have a positive impact on the Companys effective tax rate. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, there were no material
changes to the unrecognized tax benefit. Since January 1, 2009, the Company has accrued interest and penalties of approximately $152,000, which is classified as income tax expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

|Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Company Overview

We have been purchasing and collecting charged-off accounts receivable portfolios from consumer credit originators since the formation of
our predecessor company in 1962. Charged-off receivables are the unpaid obligations of individuals to credit originators, such as credit card issuers including private label card issuers, consumer finance companies, healthcare providers,
telecommunications and utility providers. Since these receivables are delinquent or past due, we purchase them at a substantial discount. Since January 1, 2000, we purchased 1,118 consumer debt portfolios, with an original charged-off face
value of $41.2 billion for an aggregate purchase price of $1.0 billion, or 2.49% of face value, net of buybacks. We purchase and collect charged-off consumer receivable portfolios for our own account as we believe this affords us the best
opportunity to use long-term strategies to maximize our profits.

Macro-economic factors continue to influence us positively
and negatively. Macro-economic factors such as reduced availability of credit for consumers, a depressed housing market, elevated unemployment rates, low consumer confidence and other factors have a negative impact on us by making it more difficult
to collect from consumers on the charged-off accounts receivable portfolios (paper) we have acquired. Conversely, as a result of these negative macro-economic factors, the supply of available paper has increased while prices we pay have
remained at lower levels than in recent years.

Our cash collections are typically higher in the first quarter of the year
because of tax refunds and other factors, and we saw improvement in collections compared to the fourth quarter of 2009. However, first quarter collections declined when compared to the same period in 2009 as a result of the continuing difficult
collections environment. Current collections have also been negatively impacted by the 21.3% reduction in purchasing in 2009 as compared to 2008. Collections were positively impacted in the quarter by further expansion of our relationship with a
third party agency in India that is collecting on our behalf using our technology and collection model under a per seat fee arrangement.

In the quarter ended December 31, 2009, we recorded a $32.4 million impairment on our purchased receivables, primarily on the 2006
and older vintages, because we determined that the IRRs assigned to our portfolios were too high in relation to the timing or amount of estimated remaining collections. The downward revision of estimated remaining collections reduced the carrying
value of purchased receivables by the amount of the impairment at the end of 2009. During the first quarter of 2010, we exceeded our revised collection forecast, however, purchased receivable revenue was lower than 2009 because revenue is generally
a function of the IRRs multiplied by the carrying value of purchased receivables. Amortization is higher in periods where collections exceed forecast, and as such, the amortization rate in the first quarter of 2010 was 42.7%, compared to 39.7%
for the same period of 2009. In addition, we expect the macro-economic factors to continue to lower overall collections on recently purchased portfolios and therefore have been applying lower initial IRRs, which also have the effect of
increasing purchased receivable amortization. Even though we exceeded our collection forecasts in the first quarter of 2010, we did not reverse any of the impairments recognized previously since we believe a single quarter of over performance is
generally not enough experience to revise our collection expectations.

Revenue

We generate substantially all of our revenue from our main line of business, the purchase and collection of charged-off consumer
receivables. We refer to revenue generated from this line of business as purchased receivable revenues. Purchased receivable revenues is the difference between cash collections and amortization (of purchased receivables).

The following table summarizes our purchased receivable revenues including cash collections and amortization:

The
decrease in purchased receivable revenues is the result of lower cash collections and higher amortization in 2010 as compared to 2009.

We believe that lower cash collections is primarily a result of macro-economic factors that continue to affect consumers liquidity
and their ability to repay their obligations, and lower purchasing in 2009. Macro-economic factors reducing consumers ability to pay include the unemployment rate, which increased from 8.6% in March 2009 to 9.7% in March 2010, a depressed
housing market, a continued tight credit environment for consumers, among other factors. During 2009, we invested 21.3% less in purchased receivables than we did in 2008. Generally, collections are strongest on portfolios six months to 18 months
after purchase, therefore, the reduction in purchasing is having a negative impact on collections in the first quarter of 2010 when compared to the prior year. Cash collections include collections from fully amortized portfolios of $14.9 million and
$18.3 million for 2010 and 2009, respectively, of which 100% were reported as revenue.

The amortization rate of 42.7% for first quarter of 2010 was 3.0 percentage points higher
than the amortization rate of 39.7% for the first quarter of 2009. The increase in the amortization rate is primarily the result of the actions we took in the fourth quarter of 2009 to evaluate and adjust the expected future cash flows of our
receivable portfolios. We observed a significant difference between our estimated and actual cash collections, which caused us to perform a more in-depth review of our portfolios and their expected performance. Based on our review, we determined
these older vintages would continue to underperform our previous collections forecasts. This reduction in future expectations of cash collections on the 2004-2007 vintages resulted in an impairment of $32.4 million. The impairment reduced the
carrying balance of purchased receivables as of December 31, 2009, which led to lower purchased receivable revenues during the first quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Lower estimates of future cash collections has generally
lead us to apply lower initial IRRs in recent periods, which also contributes to lower revenue. Total net impairments recognized in the first quarter of 2010 were $0.1 million compared to $3.4 million for 2009. Refer to Supplemental
Performance Data on Page 26 for a summary of purchased receivable revenues and amortization rates by year of purchase.

Purchased receivable revenues fluctuate based on changes in the balance of purchased receivables, the IRR applied to each portfolio and
the amount of net impairments recognized. Impairments are generated when current yields assigned to portfolios are too high in relation to the timing and/or amount of current or future collections. When cash collections decline a larger portion of
collections is allocated to revenue and less is allocated to amortization of portfolio balances. Portfolio balances that amortize too slowly in relation to current or expected collections lead to impairments, which increase the amount of
amortization and offset revenue. Conversely, when collections exceed expectations amortization will increase. If we expect collections to continue to exceed expectations, we may reverse previously recognized impairments, or if there are no
impairments to reverse, we may increase the assigned IRRs. We did not reverse any previously recognized impairments in response to collections that exceeded expectations during the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

Revenues on portfolios purchased from our top three sellers during vintage years 1993 through 2010 were $18.3 million and $16.1 million
during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, with two of the three sellers included in the top three in both three month periods.

Investments in Purchased Receivables

We generate revenue from our investments in portfolios of charged-off consumer accounts receivable. Ongoing investments in purchased
receivables are critical to continued generation of revenues. From period to period, we may buy charged-off receivables of varying age, types and demographics. As a result, the cost of our purchases, as a percent of face value, may fluctuate from
one period to the next. Total purchases consisted of the following:



|                                                     |  |                              |       |   |      |   |       |        |  |                  |      |  |      |

Our investment in purchased receivables increased in the first quarter of 2010, which is
consistent with our strategy to purchase at higher levels than we did in 2009. During 2009, we lowered overall purchasing and deferred a significant portion to the second half of the year in order to take advantage of declining pricing. As a result
of fluctuations in the mix of purchases of receivables, the costs of our purchases, as a percent of face value, fluctuate from one period to the next and are not always indicative of our estimates of total return.

Investments under Forward Flow Contracts

Forward flow contracts commit a debt seller to sell a steady flow of charged-off receivables to us, and commit us to purchase receivables
for a fixed percentage of the face value. Forward flow contracts may be attractive to us because they provide operational advantages from the consistent amount and type of accounts acquired. Forward flow purchases consisted of the following:

Investments in forward flow contracts was higher in the first quarter of 2010 than the same period
in 2009, which is consistent with the increase in our total purchases for the same period. Purchases from forward flows in 2010 included 19 portfolios from six forward flow contracts. Purchases from forward flows in 2009 included 25 portfolios from
nine forward flow contracts.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses are traditionally measured in relation to revenues. However, we measure operating expenses in relation to cash
collections. We believe this is appropriate because amortization rates, the difference between cash collections and revenues recognized, vary from period to period. Amortization rates vary due to seasonality of collections, impairments and other
factors and can distort the analysis of operating expenses when measured against revenues. Additionally, we believe that the majority of our operating expenses are variable in relation to cash collections.

The following table summarizes the significant components of our operating expenses:

The majority of the overall increase in operating expenses is a result of higher collections expense. Higher
collections expenses are a result of increases in court and process server costs and higher lettering and telecommunications costs as we ramp up activities on recently purchased receivables.

Salaries and Benefits.Salaries and benefits expense decreased because of lower variable incentive compensation and benefits
driven by lower cash collections partially offset by an increase in average headcount. The following table summarizes the significant components of our salaries and benefits expense:



|                                  |  |                              |      |      |                                                             |        |  |   |                  |   |  |       |    |  |      |   |  |      |

The increase in compensation for revenue generating departments is a result of higher
average headcount for in-house account representatives, which is partially offset by lower variable compensation expense related to the decrease in collections. In addition, we reduced incentive compensation for management until performance metrics
improve and continue our suspension of the Company matching component of our 401(k) plan.

Collections Expense.Collections expense increased because of higher court and process server costs and other variable collection activities. In addition, in late 2009 we began incurring costs related to an agency relationship with a firm in India, which we have
engaged to collect on our behalf using our technology and collections model under a per seat fee arrangement. We expect costs incurred under this relationship to continue to increase in 2010 as the number of seats increases. The following table
summarizes the significant components of collections expense and the changes in each:

Forwarding fees include fees paid to third parties to collect on our behalf including our agency firm in
India. These fees decreased in 2010 compared to 2009 because of lower cash collections generated by third parties. Collections from such third party relationships were $28.7 million and $29.9 million, or 32.2% and 31.8% of cash collections, for 2010
and 2009, respectively. Rates paid to forwarding agencies vary based on the age and type of paper that we outsource. Court and process server costs increased in 2010 over 2009 as we increased the activity in these categories, partially in response
to lowering activity related to an agreement with a third party that incurs court costs on our behalf for outsourced accounts. During 2010, our variable collection activities, such as telecommunications, lettering campaigns, and use of data provider
services, increased as a result of higher purchasing activities during the first quarter of 2010 and the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to similar periods of prior years. Generally, these costs are higher in the first six months after purchase of a
portfolio as we ramp up collection activities.

Income Taxes. We recognized income tax expense of $0.2 million and $2.8
million for 2010 and 2009, respectively. The 2010 tax expense reflects a federal tax rate of 36.4% and a state tax rate of 3.0% (net of federal tax effect). For 2009, the federal tax rate was 35.5% and state tax rate was 2.5% (net of federal tax
effect). The 0.9 percentage point increase in the federal tax rate was a result of permanent book versus tax differences and the net effect of state taxes. The overall decrease in tax expense was also impacted by the decrease in the pre-tax income,
which was $0.6 million for 2010 compared to pre-tax income of $7.4 million for the same period of 2009.

##### Table of Contents

Seasonality

The success of our business depends on our ability to collect on our purchased portfolios of charged-off consumer receivables. Collections
tend to be seasonally higher in the first and second quarters of the year due to consumers receipt of tax refunds and other factors. Conversely, collections tend to be lower in the third and fourth quarters of the year due to consumers
spending in connection with summer vacations, the holiday season and other factors. However, revenue recognized is relatively level, excluding the impact of impairments, due to the application of the provisions prescribed by the Interest Method of
accounting. In addition, our operating results may be affected to a lesser extent by the timing of purchases of charged-off consumer receivables due to the initial costs associated with purchasing and integrating these receivables into our system.
Consequently, income and margins may fluctuate from quarter to quarter.

The following table illustrates our quarterly cash
collections:

The age of a charged-off consumer receivables portfolio, the time since an account has been
charged-off by the credit originator and the number of times a portfolio has been placed with third parties for collection purposes are important factors in determining the price at which we will offer to purchase a portfolio. Generally, there is an
inverse relationship between the age of a portfolio and the price at which we will purchase it. This relationship is due to the fact that older receivables are typically more difficult to collect. The consumer debt collection industry places
receivables into the following categories depending on the age and number of third parties that have previously attempted to collect on the receivables:



| |  |  | fresh accounts are typically 120 to 180 days past due, have been charged-off by the credit originator and are being sold prior to any post charged-off
collection activity. These accounts typically sell for the highest purchase price;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | primary accounts are typically 180 to 360 days past due, have been previously placed with one third party collector and typically receive a lower
purchase price; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | secondary and tertiary accounts are typically more than 360 days past due, have been placed with two or three third party collectors and receive even
lower purchase prices.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We will purchase accounts at any point in the delinquency cycle. We deploy our
capital within these delinquency stages based upon the relative values of the available debt portfolios.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, our primary sources of cash have been from operations and bank borrowings. We have traditionally used cash for acquisitions
of purchased receivables, repayment of bank borrowings, purchasing property and equipment and working capital to support growth. We believe that cash generated from operations combined with borrowings currently available under our Credit Facilities,
will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months, although no assurance can be given in this regard. In the future, if we need additional capital for investment in purchased receivables, working capital to grow our business or
acquire other businesses, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or we may seek to increase the availability under our Revolving Credit Facility.

Borrowings

We maintain a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders named therein, that
originated on June 5, 2007 and was amended on March 10, 2008 and on October 27, 2009 (the Credit Agreement). Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we have a five-year $100.0 million revolving credit facility (the
Revolving Credit Facility), limited by financial covenants to additional borrowings of $37.1 million as of March 31, 2010, and a six-year $150.0 million term loan facility (the Term Loan Facility and together with
the Revolving Credit Facility, the Credit Facilities). The Credit Facilities bear interest at 150 to 250 basis points over prime depending upon our liquidity, as defined in the Credit Agreement. Alternately, at our discretion, we may
borrow by entering into one, two, three, six or twelve-month London Inter Bank Offer Rate (LIBOR) contracts at rates between 250 to 350 basis points over the respective LIBOR, depending on our liquidity. Our Revolving Credit Facility
includes an accordion loan feature that allows us to request a $25.0 million increase as well as sublimits for $10.0 million of letters of credit and for $10.0 million of swingline loans. The Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority lien on
all of our assets. The Credit Agreement also contains certain covenants and restrictions that we must comply with, which as of March 31, 2010 were:

The financial covenants restrict our ability to borrow against the Revolving Credit Facility. At March 31, 2010, total available
borrowings on our Revolving Credit Facility were $79.8 million, however, our capacity to borrow under the terms of the financial covenants was limited to $37.1 million. The limitation is based on the Ratio of Consolidated Total Liabilities to
Consolidated Tangible Net Worth, our most restrictive covenant at March 31, 2010. Our borrowing capacity could be reduced further if we incur cumulative net losses in future periods that reduce our Consolidated Tangible Net Worth.

The Credit Agreement contains a provision that requires us to repay Excess Cash Flow (as defined) to reduce the indebtedness outstanding
under our Term Loan Facility. The Excess Cash Flow repayment provisions are:



| |  |  | 50% of the Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year if the Leverage Ratio was greater than 1.0 to 1.0 as of the end of such fiscal year;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 25% of the Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year if the Leverage Ratio was less than or equal to 1.0 to 1.0 but greater than 0.875 to 1.0 as of the end
of such fiscal year; or
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 0% if the Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 0.875 to 1.0 as of the end of such fiscal year.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Based on the Excess Cash Flow provisions for fiscal year 2009, we made a required prepayment of $9.0 million on the Term Loan Facility
during the three months ended March 31, 2010. We also made a required prepayment of $2.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009 related to the Excess Cash Flow provisions for fiscal year 2008. Payment of the Excess Cash Flow
did not reduce our total borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Commitment fees on the unused portion of the
Revolving Credit Facility are paid quarterly, in arrears, and are calculated as an amount equal to a margin of 0.50% on the average amount available on the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Credit Agreement requires us to effectively cap, collar or exchange interest rates on a notional amount of at least 25% of the
outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Facility. As such, we have an interest rate swap agreement that hedges a portion of the interest on the Term Loan Facility. Refer to Note 4 of the consolidated financial statements, Derivative
Financial Instruments and Risk Management for additional information.

We had $154.7 million and $160.0 million of
borrowings outstanding on our Credit Facilities at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, of which $134.5 million and $143.8 million was outstanding on the Term Loan Facility and $20.2 million and $16.2 million was outstanding
on the Revolving Credit Facility. Along with the Excess Cash Flow prepayment requirements, the Term Loan Facility requires quarterly repayments totaling $1.5 million annually until expiration. The decrease in total outstanding borrowings in 2010 was
a result of positive cash flow from operations in excess of cash requirements for purchasing receivable portfolios.

We were
in compliance with the covenants of the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2010.

Cash Flows

The majority of our purchases of receivables have been funded with internal cash flow and with borrowings against our Revolving Credit
Facility. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, we invested $29.1 million in purchased receivables, net of buybacks, excluding payments in 2010 for receivables accrued at December 31, 2009, funded primarily by internal cash flow. Our
cash balance has increased from $4.9 million at December 31, 2009 to $6.2 million as of March 31, 2010. We also made net repayments on our Credit Facilities of $5.3 million during 2010.

Our operating activities provided cash of $0.2 million and $9.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. Cash provided by operating activities for these periods was generated primarily from operating income earned through cash collections as adjusted for non-cash items and the timing of payments of income taxes, accounts payable and
accrued liabilities. We rely on cash generated from our operating activities to allow us to fund operations and re-invest in purchased receivables. Cash provided by operations has decreased as a result of lower purchased receivable revenues and
higher operating expenses. Lower cash collections and higher amortization, if not offset by reductions in operating expenses, will further decrease cash provided by operating activities in future periods.

Investing activities provided cash of $6.4 million and $11.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. The majority of cash provided by investing activities was due to cash collections applied to principal, net of acquisitions of purchased receivables, which is net of buybacks for all vintage years. The overall decrease in cash provided
by investing activities was a result of increased purchasing as compared to 2009. We believe that we have sufficient capacity in our Credit Agreement when combined with anticipated cash flows from operations to fund investment in purchased
receivables at or above historical levels. However, continued pressure on collections in 2010 coupled with the borrowing constraints under our Revolving Credit Facility may cause 2010 purchasing to be at lower levels than we have seen historically.

We acquired $0.3 million and $0.5 million in property and equipment in 2010 and 2009, respectively. The amounts in 2010 and
2009 were primarily related to software and computer equipment for our new collection platform and improvements to our telecommunications systems. Implementation of the new collection platform is funded through cash flow from operating activities
and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.

Financing activities used cash of $5.4 million and $19.5 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. Cash used by financing activities in 2010 was primarily due to repayments on our Term Loan Facility of $9.4 million, partially offset by net borrowings on our Revolving Credit Facility of $4.0
million. Cash provided by financing activities will increase in future periods to the extent we use net borrowings on our Revolving Credit Facility to fund purchases of paper.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus the provision for income taxes, interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization,
share-based compensation, (gain) loss on sale of assets, impairment of assets and purchased receivables amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of liquidity calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (U.S. GAAP), and should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income prepared on a U.S. GAAP basis. Adjusted EBITDA does not purport to represent cash flow provided by, or used in, operating
activities as defined by U.S. GAAP, which is presented in our statements of cash flows. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance for the following reasons:



| |  |  | Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a companys operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, taxes,
depreciation and amortization including purchased receivable amortization, and share-based compensation, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and the book value of assets, capital structure and the
method by which assets were acquired; and

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

We generally account for our revenues from collections on our purchased receivables by using the interest method of accounting
(Interest Method) in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires making reasonable estimates of the timing and amount of future cash collections. Application of the Interest Method requires the use of estimates, primarily estimated
remaining collections, to calculate a projected IRR for each pool. These estimates are primarily based on historical cash collections and payer dynamics. If future cash collections are materially different in amount or timing than the remaining
collections estimate, earnings could be affected, either positively or negatively. The estimates of remaining collections are sensitive to the inputs used and the performance of each pool. Performance is dependent on macro-economic factors and the
specific demographic makeup of the debtors in the pool. Higher collection amounts or cash collections that occur sooner than projected will have a favorable impact on reversal of impairments or an increase in yields and revenues. Lower collection
amounts or cash collections that occur later than projected will have an unfavorable impact and may result in an impairment. Impairments to purchased receivables reduce our Consolidated Tangible Net Worth and put pressure on the financial covenants
in our Credit Facilities.

We use the cost recovery method when collections on a particular portfolio cannot be reasonably
predicted. Under the cost recovery method, no revenue is recognized until we have fully collected the cost of the portfolio.

We adopted the Interest Method in January 2005 and apply it to purchased receivables acquired after December 31, 2004. The
provisions of the Interest Method that relate to decreases in expected cash flows amend previously followed guidance for consistent treatment and apply prospectively to purchased receivables acquired before January 1, 2005. We purchase pools of
homogenous accounts receivable and record each pool at its acquisition cost. Pools purchased after 2004 may be aggregated into one or more static pools within each quarter, based on common risk characteristics. Risk characteristics of purchased
receivables are assumed to be similar since purchased receivables are usually in the late stages of the post charged-off collection cycle. We therefore aggregate most pools purchased within each quarter. Pools purchased before 2005 may not be
aggregated with other pool purchases. Each static pool, either aggregated or non-aggregated, retains its own identity and does not change over the remainder of its life. Each static pool is accounted for as a single unit for recognition of revenue,
principal payments and impairments.

Each static pool of receivables is statistically modeled to determine its projected cash
flows based on historical cash collections for pools with similar characteristics. An IRR is calculated for each static pool of receivables based on projected cash flows. The IRR is applied to the remaining balance of each static pool of accounts to
determine the revenue recognized. Each static pool is analyzed at least quarterly to assess the actual performance compared to the expected performance. This review includes an assessment of the actual results of cash collections, the work effort
used and expected to be used in future periods, the components of the static pool including type of paper, the average age of purchased receivables, certain demographics and other factors that help us understand how a pool may perform in future
periods. We also review the actual performance against expected cash collections using our historical model. Generally, to the extent the differences in actual performance versus expected performance are favorable and the results of the review by
pool is also favorable, the IRR is adjusted prospectively to reflect the revised estimate of cash flows over the remaining life of the static pool. If the differences in actual performance results in revised cash flow estimates that are less than
the original estimates, and if the results of the review lead us to believe the decline in performance is not temporary, the IRR remains unchanged and an impairment is recognized. If cash flow estimates increase subsequent to recording an
impairment, reversal of the previously recognized impairment is made prior to any increases to the IRR.

These periodic reviews, and any adjustments or impairments, are discussed with our Audit
Committee.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets not Subject to Amortization

We periodically review the carrying value of intangible assets not subject to amortization, including goodwill, to determine whether an
impairment may exist. U.S. GAAP requires that goodwill and certain intangible assets not subject to amortization be assessed annually for impairment using fair value measurement techniques.

Specifically, goodwill impairment is determined using a two-step test. The first step of the goodwill impairment test is used to identify
potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its book value, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its book value, goodwill is considered not impaired and the second step of the impairment
test is unnecessary. If the book value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test
compares the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill with the book value of that goodwill. If the book value of the reporting units goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in
an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. That is, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and
liabilities of that unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid to acquire the reporting unit.

The estimate of fair value of our goodwill reporting unit, the purchased receivables operating segment, is determined using various
valuation techniques including market capitalization and an analysis of discounted cash flows. At the time of the most recent annual goodwill impairment test, November 1, 2009, market capitalization was substantially higher than book value and
goodwill was considered not to be impaired, however, a 35% decrease in market capitalization would have resulted in book value greater than market capitalization. We also performed a discounted cash flow analysis, which requires us to make various
judgmental assumptions including assumptions about future cash flows, growth rates, and discount rates. We base assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates on our five-year budget and long-term plans. We used a discount rate of 19.6%, which
reflected our estimate of cost of equity and our assessment of the risk inherent in the reporting unit. The fair value of goodwill using a discounted cash flow analysis exceeded the book value as of December 31, 2009. However, a 6% increase in
the discount rate, or a decrease in cash flow of approximately $7.5 million in each year would result in an excess of book value over fair value and indicate that goodwill may be impaired.

The annual impairment test for other intangible assets not subject to amortization, for example, trademark and trade names, consists of a
comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The estimates of fair value of
intangible assets not subject to amortization are determined using various discounted cash flow valuation methodologies. Significant assumptions are inherent in this process, including estimates of discount rates and future cash flows. Discount rate
assumptions are based on an assessment of the risk inherent in the respective intangible assets and include estimates of the cost of debt and equity for market participants in the Companys industry. We performed a discounted cash flow analysis
of our trademark and trade names as of September 30, 2009 using a discount rate of 18% and determined that the carrying value exceeded the fair value, and we recorded an impairment of $1,167,000.

Income Taxes

We record a tax provision for the anticipated tax consequences of the reported results of operations. The provision for income taxes is
computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities,
and for operating losses and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to be reversed.

##### Table of Contents

We believe it is more likely than not that forecasted income, including income that may be
generated as a result of certain tax planning strategies, together with the tax effects of the deferred tax liabilities, will be sufficient to fully recover the remaining deferred tax assets. In the event that all or part of the deferred tax assets
are determined not to be realizable in the future, a valuation allowance would be established and charged to earnings in the period such determination is made. Similarly, if we subsequently realize deferred tax assets that were previously determined
to be unrealizable, the respective valuation allowance would be reversed, resulting in a positive adjustment to earnings in the period such determination is made. In addition, the calculation of tax liabilities involves significant judgment in
estimating the impact of uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws. Resolution of these uncertainties in a manner inconsistent with our expectations could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position. We
account for uncertain tax positions using a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

|Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

Our exposure to market risk relates to the interest rate risk with our Credit Facilities. We may periodically enter into interest rate
swap agreements to modify the interest rate exposure associated with our outstanding debt. The outstanding borrowings on our Credit Facilities were $154.7 million and $160.0 million as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
In September 2007, we entered into an amortizing interest rate swap agreement whereby, on a quarterly basis, we swap variable rates equal to three-month LIBOR for fixed rates on the notional amount of $125.0 million. Every year thereafter, on the
anniversary of the swap agreement the notional amount decreases by $25.0 million. The outstanding unhedged borrowings on our Credit Facilities were $79.7 million as of March 31, 2010. Interest rates on unhedged borrowings may be based on
the prime rate or LIBOR, at our discretion. Assuming a 200 basis point increase in interest rates on the unhedged borrowings, interest expense would have increased approximately $0.4 million on the unhedged borrowings for both the three months ended
March 31, 2010 and 2009.

The interest rate swap was determined to be highly effective in hedging against fluctuations in
variable interest rates associated with the underlying debt since we entered into the agreement. Interest rates have decreased since we entered into our swap agreement, reducing the fair value and resulting in a liability balance. Additional
declines in interest rates will further reduce the fair value, while increasing interest rates will increase the fair value.

Interest rate fluctuations do not have a material impact on interest income.



|Item 4. | Controls and Procedures
|------- | -----------------------

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level to cause material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports
that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commissions rules and forms.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31,
2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION



|Item 1. | Legal Proceedings
|------- | -----------------

In the
ordinary course of our business, we are involved in numerous legal proceedings. We regularly initiate collection lawsuits, using both our in-house attorneys and our network of third party law firms, against consumers and are occasionally countersued
by them in such actions. Also, consumers occasionally initiate litigation against us, in which they allege that we have violated a federal or state law in the process of collecting on their account. It is not unusual for us to be named in a class
action lawsuit relating to these allegations, with these lawsuits routinely settling for immaterial amounts. We do not believe that these ordinary course matters, individually or in the aggregate, are material to our business or financial condition.
However, there can be no assurance that a lawsuit would not, if decided against us, have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition.

Beginning in February 2006, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) commenced an investigation into our debt collection practices
under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Federal Trade Commission Act. On April 6, 2010, the FTC delivered a letter to the Company which stated its view that we may have engaged in certain violations
of those laws, offered us an opportunity to resolve the matter through consent negotiations, and forwarded a proposed consent decree. The proposed consent decree includes certain monitoring and reporting obligations and customer disclosures, as well
as a civil monetary penalty. We are currently reviewing the proposal with counsel and have begun to discuss the matter with the FTC. We believe that the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on our business.
