QC HOLDINGS, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1  The Company and Significant Accounting Policies

Business.The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of QC Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, QC Financial Services, Inc., QC Auto Services, Inc., QC
Loan Services, Inc., QC E-Services, Inc. and QC Capital, Inc. (collectively the Company). QC Financial Services, Inc. is the 100% owner of QC Financial Services of California, Inc., Financial Services of North Carolina, Inc., QC Financial Services
of Texas, Inc., Express Check Advance of South Carolina, LLC, QC Advance, Inc., Cash Title Loans, Inc. and QC Properties, LLC. QC Holdings, Inc., incorporated in 1998 under the laws of the State of Kansas, was founded in 1984, and has provided
various retail consumer financial products and services throughout its 27-year history. The Companys common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Market exchange under the symbol QCCO.

Since 1998, the Company has been primarily engaged in the business of providing short-term consumer loans, known as payday loans, with
principal values that typically range from $100 to $500. Payday loans provide customers with cash in exchange for a promissory note with a maturity of generally two to three weeks and supported by that customers personal check for the
aggregate amount of the cash advanced plus a fee. The fee varies from state to state, based on applicable regulations and generally ranges from $15 to $20 per $100 borrowed. To repay the cash advance, customers may redeem their check by paying cash
or they may allow the check to be presented to the bank for collection.

The Company also provides other consumer financial
products and services, such as installment loans, credit services, check cashing services, title loans, money transfers and money orders. All of the Companys loans and other services are subject to state regulation, which vary from state to
state, as well as to federal and local regulation, where applicable. As of March 31, 2011, the Company operated 501 branches with locations in Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.

In September 2007, the Company entered into the buy here, pay here segment of the used automotive market in connection with ongoing efforts to evaluate alternative products that serve the Companys
customer base. In January 2009, the Company purchased two buy here, pay here locations in Missouri for approximately $4.2 million. In May 2009, the Company opened a service center to provide reconditioning services on its inventory of vehicles and
repair services for its customers. As of March 31, 2011, the Company operated five buy here, pay here lots, which are located in Missouri and Kansas. These locations sell used vehicles and earn finance charges from the related vehicle financing
contracts. The average principal amount for buy here, pay here loans originated during the three months ended March 31, 2011 was approximately $9,827 and the average term of the loan was 34 months.

Basis of Presentation. The consolidated financial statements of QC Holdings, Inc. included herein have been prepared by the
Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to enable a reasonable understanding of the information presented. The
Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2010 was derived from the audited financial statements of the Company, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Companys audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

##### Table of Contents

In the opinion of the Companys management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal closing procedures) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company and its subsidiary companies as of March 31, 2011, and the results of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, in conformity with GAAP. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the full year 2011.

Accounting reclassifications.Certain reclassifications have
been made to prior period financial information to conform to the current presentation. On the Consolidated Balance Sheets, certain amounts associated with the automotive loans receivable have been reclassified from Other assets, net to separately
present the non-current portion.

Inventory.Inventory primarily consists of vehicles acquired from auctions and
trade-ins. Vehicle transportation and reconditioning costs are capitalized as a component of inventory. The cost of vehicle inventory is determined on the specific identification method. Vehicle inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.
Valuation allowances are established when the inventory carrying values are in excess of estimated selling prices, net of direct costs of disposal. As of December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, the Company had inventory of used vehicles
totaling $3.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively, which is included in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Management has determined that a valuation allowance is not necessary as of December 31, 2010 and March 31,
2011.

Loans Receivable, Provision for Losses and Allowance for Loan Losses. When the Company enters into a
payday loan with a customer, the Company records a loan receivable for the amount loaned to the customer plus the fee charged by the Company, which varies from state to state based on applicable regulations.

The following table summarizes certain data with respect to the Companys payday loans:



|                                            |  |                             |        |  |      |   |        | 
|------------------------------------------- |  | --------------------------- | ------ |  | ---- | - | ------ |

|                                            |  | 2010                        |        |  | 2011 |  
|Average amount of cash provided to customer |  | $                           | 319.20 |  |      | $ | 320.33 | 
|Average fee received by the Company         |  | $                           | 56.03  |  |      | $ | 57.04  | 
|Average term of the loan (days)             |  |                             | 17     |  |      |   | 17     | 

When checks are
presented to the bank for payment and returned as uncollected, all accrued fees, interest and outstanding principal are charged-off as uncollectible, generally within 14 days after the due date. Accordingly, payday loans included in the receivable
balance at any given point in time are typically not older than 30 days. These charge-offs are recorded as expense through the provision for losses. Any recoveries on losses previously charged to expense are recorded as a reduction to the provision
for losses in the period recovered. With respect to title loans, no additional fees or interest are charged after the loan has defaulted, which generally occurs after attempts to contact the customer have been unsuccessful. Based on state
regulations and operating procedures, the Company stops accruing interest on installment loans between 60 to 90 days after the last payment. On automotive loans, the Company stops accruing interest 60 days after the last payment.

With respect to the loans receivable at the end of each reporting period, the Company maintains an aggregate allowance for loan losses
(including fees and interest) for payday loans, title loans, installment loans and auto loans at levels estimated to be adequate to absorb estimated incurred losses in the respective outstanding loan portfolios. The Company does not specifically
reserve for any individual loan.

The methodology for estimating the allowance for payday and title loan losses utilizes a
four-step approach, which reflects the short-term nature of the loan portfolio at each period-end, the historical collection experience in the month following each reporting period-end and any fluctuations in recent general economic conditions.
First, the Company computes the loss/volume ratio for the last month of each reporting period. The loss/volume ratio represents the percentage of aggregate net payday and title loan charge-offs to total payday and title loan volumes

during a given period. Second, the Company computes an adjustment to this percentage to reflect the collections experience in the month immediately following the reporting period-end. To estimate
collections experience, the Company computes an average of the change in the loss/volume ratio from the last month of each reporting period to the immediate subsequent month-end for each of the last three years (excluding the current year). This
change is then added to, or subtracted from, the loss/volume ratio computed for the last month of the current reporting period to derive an experience-adjusted loss/volume ratio. Third, the period-end gross payday and title loans receivable balance
is multiplied by the experience-adjusted loss/volume ratio to determine the initial estimate of the allowance for loan losses. Fourth, the Company reviews and evaluates various qualitative factors that may or may not affect the computed initial
estimate of the allowance for loan losses, including, among others, known changes in state regulations or laws, changes to the Companys business and operating structure, and geographic or demographic developments. As of December 31, 2010
and March 31, 2011, the Company determined that no qualitative adjustment to the allowance for payday loan losses was necessary.

The Company maintains an allowance for installment loans at a level it considers sufficient to cover estimated losses in the collection of its installment loans. The allowance calculation for installment
loans is based upon historical charge-off experience (primarily a six-month trailing average of charge-offs to total volume) and qualitative factors, with consideration given to recent credit loss trends and economic factors. As of December 31,
2010 and March 31, 2011, the Company reviewed the qualitative factors and determined that no qualitative adjustment was needed.

The allowance calculation for auto loans is determined on an aggregate basis and is based upon the Companys review of the loan portfolio by period of origination, industry loss experience and
qualitative factors, with consideration given to changes in loan characteristics, delinquency levels, collateral values and other general economic conditions. This estimate of probable losses is primarily determined using static pool analyses
prepared for various segments of the portfolio using estimated loss experience, adjusted for consideration of any current economic factors. Over the last few years, industry loss rates have generally ranged between 20% and 28% of revenues, with
higher ratios during more difficult macroeconomic periods. In 2008 and 2009, the automotive sales industry experienced an increase in delinquencies and, as a result, an increase in losses. The Companys level of allowance with respect to
automotive loans in prior years was higher than levels during 2010 and first quarter 2011 due to the Companys relative inexperience in the buy here, pay here business, as well as the age of the new locations and the generally negative industry
and macroeconomic environment. During 2010, the Companys loss experience with respect to automotive loans improved significantly due to management and process enhancements. As of December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, the Company
reviewed various qualitative factors with respect to its automotive loans receivable and determined that no qualitative adjustment was needed.

Based on the information discussed above, the Company records an adjustment to the allowance for loan losses through the provision for losses. The overall allowance represents the Companys best
estimate of probable losses inherent in the outstanding loan portfolio at the end of each reporting period.

During the three
months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, the Company received cash of approximately $65,000 and $205,000, respectively from the sales of certain payday loan receivables that the Company had previously charged off. The sales were recorded as a
credit to the overall loss provision, which is consistent with the Companys policy for recording recoveries noted above.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, short-term payday, title and installment loans
receivable, borrowings under the credit facility, accounts payable and certain other current liabilities that are short-term in nature approximates carrying value.

The Company estimates the fair value of its automotive loan receivables at what a third party purchaser might be willing to pay. The Company has had discussions with third parties that indicate a 35%
discount to face value would be a reasonable fair value in a negotiated third party transaction. Since the Company does not intend to offer the receivables for sale to an outside third party, the expectation is that the carrying value at
December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, will be ultimately collected. By collecting the accounts internally, the Company expects to realize more than a third party purchaser would expect to collect with a servicing requirement and a profit
margin included. As of December 31, 2010 and 2011, the fair value of the automotive loan receivables was $10.0 million and $11.2 million, respectively.

The Company estimates the fair value of long-term debt based upon borrowing rates available
at the reporting date for indebtedness with similar terms and average maturities. During December 2007, the Company entered into a $50 million, five-year term loan (as discussed in Note 11). The balance on the term loan was $27.7 million as of
December 31, 2010 and $20.7 million as of March 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, the fair value of the five-year term loan was approximately $28.5 million and $22.3 million, respectively.

Note 2  Accounting Developments

In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) updated its guidance related to when to perform step two of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative
carrying amounts. The updated guidance requires that for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment
exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that an impairment of goodwill exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment of goodwill may exist. The Company adopted
this guidance on January 1, 2011. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB updated its guidance related to disclosure of supplementary pro forma information for business combinations. The updated guidance requires that if comparative financial
statements are presented, the pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the comparable prior reporting period should be reported as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the current year had
been as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2011. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In July 2010, FASB issued guidance to improve disclosures that an entity provides about the credit quality of its
financing receivables and the related allowance for credit losses. As a result of this guidance, an entity will be required to disaggregate, by portfolio segment or class of financing receivable, certain existing disclosures and provide certain new
disclosures about its financing receivables and related allowance for credit losses. For public entities, the disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15,
2010. The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Companys
consolidated financial statements. See additional information in Note 8.

Note 3  Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Hierarchy Tables.The fair value measurement accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which
prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or
liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level
in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Companys assessment of the
significance of a particular input to the fair value in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The Company measures the value of its interest rate swap agreement relying on a mark-to-market valuation
based on yield curves using observable market interest rates for the interest rate swap agreement. As of December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement was a liability of $793,000 and $603,000,
respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, the Company recorded unrealized gains of $25,000 and $190,000, respectively, on the interest rate swap agreement in other comprehensive income. For additional information on the
interest rate swap agreement, see Notes 11 and 12.

Fair Value Measurements on a Non-Recurring Basis.The Company also
measures the fair value of certain assets on a non-recurring basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.

Note 4  Significant Business Transactions

Closure of
Branches. During first quarter 2011, the Company closed three of its lower performing branches in various states (which included one branch that was consolidated into a nearby branch). The Company recorded approximately $100,000 in pre-tax
charges during the three months ended March 31, 2011 associated with these closures. The charges included a $54,000 loss for the disposition of fixed assets, $44,000 for lease terminations and other related occupancy costs and $2,000 for other
costs.

During the first quarter 2010, the Company closed four of its lower performing branches in various states and decided
it would close five branches in Washington during second quarter 2010 as a result of changes in the payday lending laws in Washington (effective January 1, 2010) that restrict customer usage of the payday product. The Company recorded
approximately $391,000 in pre-tax charges during the three months ended March 31, 2010 associated with these closings and expected closings. The charges included $182,000 representing the loss on the disposition of fixed assets, $203,000 for
lease terminations and other related occupancy costs and $6,000 for other costs. See additional information in Note 5 regarding discontinued operations.

As of March 31, 2011, the balance of $153,000 for accrued costs associated with the closure of branches
is included as a current liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as the Company expects that the liabilities for these costs will be settled within one year.

Note 6  Earnings Per Share

The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share using a two-class method because the Company has participating securities in the
form of unvested share-based payment awards with rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends. Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. The effect of stock options and unvested restricted stock represent the only
differences between the weighted average shares used for the basic earnings per share computation compared to the diluted earnings per share computation for each period presented.

The following table presents the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share for each of the periods indicated (in thousands,
except per share data):

Credit quality information.In order to manage the portfolios of consumer loans effectively, the
Company utilizes a variety of proprietary underwriting criteria, monitors the performance of the portfolio and maintains either an allowance or accrual for losses on consumer loans (including fees and interest) at a level estimated to be adequate to
absorb credit losses inherent in the portfolio. The portfolio includes balances outstanding from all consumer loans, including short-term payday and title loans, automotive loans and multi-payment installment loans. The allowance for losses on
consumer loans offsets the outstanding loan amounts in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company has $3.7 million in
automotive loans receivable that are past due as of March 31, 2011 and approximately 16.3% of this amount is more than 60 days past due. In addition, the Company has automotive loans receivable totaling $595,000 that are on non-accrual status
as of March 31, 2011. With respect to installment loans, the Company has approximately $920,000 in installment loans receivable that are past due as of March 31, 2011 and approximately 10.6% of this amount is more that 60 days past due.

In February 2005, the Company entered into a seven-year lease for a new corporate headquarters in Overland
Park, Kansas. In January 2011, the Company amended its lease agreement to extend the lease term and modify the lease payments. The lease was extended through October 31, 2017 and includes a renewal option for an additional five years. As part
of the original agreement lease agreement and the amendment to the lease agreement, the Company received tenant allowances from the landlord for leasehold improvements totaling $1.4 million. The tenant allowances are recorded by the Company as a
deferred liability and are being amortized as a reduction of rent expense over the life of the lease. As of December 31, 2010, the balance of the deferred liability was approximately $185,000, which consisted of $46,000 classified as a
non-current liability. As of March 31, 2011, the balance of the deferred liability was approximately $367,000, which consisted of $311,000 classified as a non-current liability.

On December 7, 2007, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with a syndicate
of banks to replace its existing line of credit facility. The previous line of credit facility had a total commitment of $45.0 million. The amended credit agreement provides for a five-year term loan of $50.0 million and a revolving line of credit
(including provisions permitting the issuance of letters of credit and swingline loans) of up to $45.0 million. The maximum borrowings under the amended credit facility may be increased by $25.0 million pursuant to bank approval in accordance with
the terms set forth in the credit facility.

The credit facility is guaranteed by each subsidiary and is secured by all the
capital stock of each subsidiary of the Company and all personal property (including all present and future accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, general intangibles (including intellectual property), instruments, deposit accounts,
investment property and the proceeds thereof). Borrowings under the term loan and the facility are available based on two types of loans, Base Rate loans or LIBOR Rate loans. Base Rate loans bear interest at the higher of the Prime Rate or the
Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, either of which is then added to a maximum margin of 2.00%. LIBOR Rate loans bear interest at rates based on the LIBOR rate for the applicable loan period with a maximum margin over LIBOR of 4.00%. The loan period for
a LIBOR Rate loan may be one month, two months, three months or six months and the loan may be renewed upon notice to the agent provided that no default has occurred. As a result, the revolving credit facility is classified as debt due within one
year, although the revolving credit facility, by its terms, does not mature until December 6, 2012. The credit facility has a grid that adjusts the borrowing rates for both Base Rate loans and LIBOR Rate loans based upon the Companys
leverage ratio. Leverage ratio is defined as the ratio of total debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). The credit facility also includes a non-use fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.375%, which is based upon the
Companys leverage ratio. Among other provisions, the amended credit agreement contains certain financial covenants related to EBITDA, fixed charges, leverage ratio, working capital ratio, total indebtedness, and maximum loss ratio. As of
March 31, 2011, the Company is in compliance with all of its debt covenants. The credit facility expires on December 6, 2012.

In addition to scheduled repayments, the term loan contains mandatory prepayment provisions beginning in 2009 whereby the Company is required to reduce the outstanding principal amounts of the term loan
based on the Companys excess cash flow (as defined in the agreement) and the Companys leverage ratio as of the most recent completed fiscal year. In March 2010, the Company made a $5.4 million principal payment on the term loan, which
included $3.9 million required under the mandatory prepayment provisions and the $1.5 million scheduled principal payment. In March 2011, the Company made a $7.1 million principal payment on the term loan, which included $5.3 million required under
the mandatory prepayment provisions and the $1.8 million scheduled principal payment.

Note 12  Derivative Instruments

Derivative instruments are accounted for at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative
depends on the intended use and designation of the derivative instrument. For a derivative instrument designated as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative is recognized in earnings in the period of change in fair value together with
the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item. For a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the derivatives gain or loss is initially reported as a component of

##### Table of Contents

Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) and is subsequently recognized in earnings when the hedged exposure affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is recognized in earnings. Gains
or losses from changes in fair values of derivatives that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes are recognized currently in earnings.

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to adverse changes in interest rates on its long-term debt and manages this risk through the use of a derivative. The Company does not enter into
derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Cash Flow Hedge.The Company entered into an interest rate
swap agreement during first quarter 2008 for $49 million of its outstanding debt as a cash flow hedge to interest rate fluctuations under its credit facility. The swap agreement is designated as a cash flow hedge, and effectively changes the
floating rate interest obligation associated with the $50 million term loan into a fixed rate. The swap agreement has a maturity date of December 6, 2012. Under the swap, the Company pays a fixed interest rate of 3.43% and receives interest at
a rate of LIBOR. As of March 31, 2011, approximately $19.8 million (representing the majority of the unpaid principal of the term loan) is subject to the interest rate swap agreement. The hedge is highly effective and, therefore, the Company
reported no net gain or loss during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011. The Company expects approximately $544,000 of losses in other comprehensive income to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.

The following table summarizes the fair value and location in the Consolidated Balance Sheets of all derivatives held by the Company as
of December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011 (in thousands).

The Company records accruals for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits
in interest expense and operating expense, respectively. Interest and penalties and associated accruals were not material as of March 31, 2011.

The Company does not anticipate any material changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws
and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. In the ordinary course of business, transactions occur for which the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. In addition, respective tax authorities periodically audit the Companys income
tax returns. These audits examine the Companys significant tax filing positions, including the timing and amounts of deductions and the allocation of income among tax jurisdictions. The following table outlines the tax years that generally
remain subject to examination as of March 31, 2011:

Note 14  Credit Services
Organization

Payday loans are originated by the Company at all of its branches, except branches in Texas. For its
locations in Texas, the Company began operating as a CSO, through one of its subsidiaries, in September 2005. As a CSO, the Company acts as a credit services organization on behalf of consumers in accordance with Texas laws. The Company charges the
consumer a fee for arranging for an unrelated third-party to make a loan to the consumer and for providing related services to the consumer, including a guarantee of the consumers obligation to the third-party lender. The Company also services
the loan for the lender. The CSO fee is recognized ratably over the term of the loan. The Company is not involved in the loan approval process or in determining the loan approval procedures or criteria. As a result, loans made by the lender are not
included in the Companys loans receivable balance and are not reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As noted above, however, the Company absorbs all risk of loss through its guarantee of the consumers loan from the lender. As of
December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, the consumers had total loans outstanding with the lender of approximately $3.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Because of the economic exposure for potential losses related to the guarantee of
these loans, the Company records a payable at fair value to reflect the anticipated losses related to uncollected loans. The balance of the liability for estimated losses reported in accrued liabilities was approximately $100,000 as of
December 31, 2010 and $50,000 as of March 31, 2011. The following tables summarize the activity in the CSO liability (in thousands):

Note 17  Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation. The Company is subject to various legal proceedings arising from normal business operations. Although there can be no assurances, based on the information currently available,
management believes that it is probable that the ultimate outcome of each of the actions will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements. However, an adverse outcome in any of the actions could have a material
adverse effect on the financial results of the Company in the period in which it is recorded.

Missouri.On
October 13, 2006, one of the Companys Missouri customers sued the Company in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri in a purported class action. The lawsuit alleges violations of the Missouri statute pertaining to unsecured loans
under $500 and the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages and a declaratory judgment that the arbitration agreement with the plaintiff is not enforceable on a variety of theories. The Company moved to compel
arbitration of this matter. In December 2007, the court entered an order striking the class action waiver provision in the Companys customer arbitration agreement, ordered the case to arbitration and dismissed the lawsuit filed in Circuit
Court. In July 2008, the Company filed its appeal of the courts order with the Missouri Court of Appeals. In December 2008, the Court of Appeals affirmed the decision of the trial court. In September 2009, the plaintiff filed her action in
arbitration. The Company has filed its answer, and a three-person arbitration panel has been chosen. Discovery has commenced, and the parties will possibly argue class certification in mid 2011.

North Carolina. On February 8, 2005, the Company, two of its subsidiaries, including its subsidiary doing business in North
Carolina, and Mr. Don Early, the Companys Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, were sued in Superior Court of New Hanover County, North Carolina in a putative class action lawsuit filed by James B. Torrence, Sr. and Ben
Hubert Cline, who were customers of a Delaware state-chartered bank for whom the Company provided certain services in connection with the banks origination of payday loans in North Carolina, prior to the closing of the Companys North
Carolina branches in fourth quarter 2005. The lawsuit alleges that the Company violated various North Carolina laws, including the North Carolina Consumer Finance Act, the North Carolina Check Cashers Act, the North Carolina Loan Brokers Act, the
state unfair trade practices statute and the state usury statute, in connection with payday loans made by the bank to the two plaintiffs through the Companys retail locations in North Carolina. The lawsuit alleges that the Company made the
payday loans to the plaintiffs in violation of various state statutes, and that if the Company is not viewed as the actual lenders or makers of the payday loans, its services to the bank that made the loans violated various North
Carolina statutes. Plaintiffs are seeking certification as a class, unspecified monetary damages, and treble damages and attorneys fees under specified North Carolina statutes. Plaintiffs have not sued the bank in this matter and have specifically
stated in the complaint that plaintiffs do not challenge the right of out-of-state banks to enter into loans with North Carolina residents at such rates as the banks home state may permit, all as authorized by North Carolina and federal law.
This case is in the preliminary stages.

##### Table of Contents

There are three similar purported class action lawsuits filed in North Carolina against
three other companies unrelated to the Company. In December 2005, the judge in those three cases (1) granted the defendants motions to stay the purported class action lawsuits and to compel arbitration in accordance with the terms of the
arbitration provisions contained in the consumer loan contracts, (2) ruled that the class action waivers in those consumer loan contracts are valid, and (3) denied plaintiffs motions for class certifications. The plaintiffs in those
three cases, who are represented by the same law firms as the plaintiffs in the case filed against the Company, appealed that ruling. In January 2007, the North Carolina Court of Appeals heard the appeal in the three companion cases. In May 2008,
the appellate court remanded the three companion cases to the state court to review its ruling in light of a recent North Carolina Supreme Court decision. In June 2009, the trial court denied defendants motion to compel arbitration and granted
each of the respective plaintiffs motions for class certification. Defendants appealed those rulings, but by the end of 2010, settlements in each of the three companion cases were reached. However the settlements do not provide reasonable
guidance on settlements in the Companys case. The Company will argue its own issues concerning arbitration and class certification before the trial court in mid 2011.

The judge handling the lawsuit against the Company in North Carolina is the same judge who is handling the three companion cases.

Arizona.In December 2009, the Arizona Attorney General filed a lawsuit against the Company in Arizona state court. Specifically, the Attorney General contends that the Company allegedly violated
various state consumer protection statutes when the Company sued non-Pima County customers with delinquent accounts in Pima County. Subsequently, the Attorney General amended its complaint in December 2009, and alleged that the Companys
arbitration provision was unconscionable. In January 2010, the Company moved to dismiss the Attorney Generals complaint. The Attorney General has asked for and received extensions of time to respond to this motion to dismiss. Since then, the
parties have reached a tentative agreement to settle the matter for approximately $230,000, and the Company executed the settlement in March 2011.

Ohio.In April 2009, the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions issued a notice of violation challenging the business model used by a subsidiary of the Company in that state. In Ohio, the Company
issues short-term loan proceeds to customers in the form of a check. The Company offers to cash these checks for a fee. Cashing a check is a voluntary transaction and the underlying short-term loan is not conditioned upon an agreement to cash the
customers loan proceeds check. The Division of Financial Institutions has claimed that cashing these checks is a violation of the Ohios Small Loan Act and has asked the Company to cease cashing the checks for a fee. The Company believes
that its business practice complies with all applicable laws and continues to conduct business without any changes to its operations. The Division asked for an administrative hearing to determine whether the business model violates state law. A
hearing officer determined, however, that the Companys model does not violate state law. The Division, as allowed by law, rejected this finding in early 2011 and issued another cease and desist order to the Company. As a result, the Company
moved to stay the order and has forced an appeal of the administrative ruling to state district court. In a separate action, the Company, joined by other short-term lending companies, sued the Division to bar the enforcement of these new proposed
rules. In April 2010, the court overseeing the case issued a temporary restraining order against the Division, preventing the enforcement of the administrative ruling for the near future.

Other Matters.The Company is also currently involved in ordinary, routine litigation and administrative proceedings incidental to
its business, including customer bankruptcies and employment-related matters from time to time. The Company believes the likely outcome of any other pending cases and proceedings will not be material to its business or its financial condition.

Note 18  Certain Concentrations of Risk

The Company is subject to regulation by federal and state governments that affect the products and services provided by the Company, particularly payday loans. The Company currently operates in 23 states
throughout the United States. The level and type of regulation of payday loans varies greatly from state to state, ranging from states with no regulations or legislation to other states with very strict guidelines and requirements.

Company branches located in the states of Missouri, California, Kansas and Illinois
represented approximately 33%, 14%, 10% and 6%, respectively, of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Company branches located in the states of Missouri, California, Kansas, Illinois, Texas and New Mexico represented
approximately 34%, 14%, 11%, 8%, 5% and 5%, respectively, of total branch gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2011. To the extent that laws and regulations are passed that affect the Companys ability to offer loans or the
manner in which the Company offers its loans in any one of those states, the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected. For example, the Arizona payday loan statutory authority expired by its
terms on June 30, 2010, and the expiration of this law had a significant adverse effect on the revenues and profitability of the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, revenues and gross profit from the Arizona branches
declined by $2.3 million and $1.9 million respectively, from the same period in the prior year. Prior to the expiration of the Arizona payday loan law, branches in Arizona accounted for more than 5% of Company revenues and gross profits.

In March 2011, a new payday law became effective in Illinois that imposes customer usage restrictions that will negatively affect
revenues and profitability. This type of customer restriction, when passed in other states such as Washington, South Carolina and Kentucky, has resulted in a 30% to 60% decline in annual revenues depending on the types of alternative products that
competitors may offer within the state. The Illinois law provides for an overlap of the previous lending approach with loans issued under the new law for a period of one year, which will likely extend the time period over which the negative effects
of the new law will occur.

Note 19  Subsequent Events

Dividends. On April 27, 2011, the Companys board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per common share. The dividend is payable on May 31, 2011 to stockholders of
record as of May 17, 2011. The Company estimates that the total amount of the dividend will be approximately $900,000.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

We operate primarily through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, QC Financial Services, Inc., QC Auto Services, Inc., QC Loan Services, Inc.,
QC E-Services, Inc. and QC Capital, Inc. QC Financial Services, Inc. is the 100% owner of QC Financial Services of California, Inc., Financial Services of North Carolina, Inc., QC Financial Services of Texas, Inc., Express Check Advance of South
Carolina, LLC, QC Advance, Inc., Cash Title Loans, Inc. and QC Properties, LLC.

We derive our revenues primarily by providing
short-term consumer loans, known as payday loans, which represented approximately 62.9% of our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011. We earn fees for various other financial services, such as installment loans, credit
services, check cashing services, title loans, open-end credit, money transfers and money orders. We operated 501 branches in 23 states at March 31, 2011. In all but one of these states, Texas, we fund our payday loans directly to the customer
and receive a fee. Fees

charged to customers vary from state to state, generally ranging from $15 to $20 per $100 borrowed, and in most cases, are limited by state law. We also sell used automobiles and finance most of
those sales, earning income on the automobile sales and interest on the automobile loans.

We currently offer installment
loans to customers in Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Montana, New Mexico and Utah. The installment loans are payable in monthly installments (principal plus accrued interest) with terms ranging from four months to one year, and all loans are pre-payable
at any time without penalty. The fee for an installment loan varies based on the amount borrowed and the term of the loan. Generally, the maximum amount that we advance under an installment loan is $1,000. The average principal amount for
installment loans originated during first quarter 2011 was approximately $530 and the average term of the loan was 265 days.

In Texas, through one of our subsidiaries, we operate as a credit service organization (CSO) on behalf of consumers in accordance with
Texas laws. We charge the consumer a CSO fee for arranging for an unrelated third-party to make a loan to the consumer and for providing related services to the consumer, including a guarantee of the consumers obligation to the third-party
lender.

In September 2007, we entered into the buy here, pay here segment of the used automotive market in connection with
ongoing efforts to evaluate alternative products that serve our customer base. In January 2009, we purchased two buy here, pay here locations in Missouri for approximately $4.2 million. In May 2009, we opened a service center to provide
reconditioning services on our inventory of vehicles and repair services for our customers. As of March 31, 2011, we operated five buy here, pay here lots, which are located in Missouri and Kansas. These locations sell used vehicles and earn
finance charges from the related vehicle financing contracts. The average principal amount for buy here, pay here loans originated during first quarter 2011 was approximately $9,827 and the average term of the loan was 34 months.

We have elected to organize and report on our business units as two operating segments (Financial Services and Automotive). The Financial
Services segment includes branches that offer payday loans, installment loans, credit services, check cashing services, title loans, money transfers and money orders. The Automotive segment consists of our buy here, pay here operations. We evaluate
the performance of our segments based on, among other things, branch gross profit, income from continuing operations before income taxes and return on invested capital.

Our expenses primarily relate to the operations of our branch network. The most significant expenses include salaries and benefits for our branch employees, provisions for losses, occupancy expense for
our leased real estate and cost of sales for our automobile purchases. Regional and corporate expenses, which include compensation of employees, professional fees and equity award charges, are our other primary costs.

We evaluate our branches based on revenue growth, gross profit contributions and loss ratio (which is losses as a percentage of
revenues), with consideration given to the length of time the branch has been open and its geographic location. We monitor newer branches for their progress to profitability and rate of loan growth.

With respect to our cost structure, salaries and benefits are one of our largest costs and are generally driven by changes in number of
branches and loan volumes. Our provision for losses is also a significant expense. If a customers check is returned by the bank as uncollected, we make an immediate charge-off to the provision for losses for the amount of the customers
loan, which includes accrued fees and interest. Any recoveries on amounts previously charged off are recorded as a reduction to the provision for losses in the period recovered.

In response to changes in the overall market, we have dramatically slowed our branch expansion since January 1, 2007 and closed a
significant number of branches. During this period, we opened 36 de novo branches, acquired 14 branches, closed 161 branches and sold one branch.

|(a) | In December 2010, we announced that we would close 21 branches during the first half of 2011. The branches closed during first quarter 2011 includes 18 of these
branches and the remaining three are expected to close during second quarter 2011. These 21 branches were included as part of discontinued operations in 2010. During first quarter 2011, we sold a branch and closed an additional three branches that
had not been previously announced.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We intend to evaluate opportunities for new branch development to complement
existing branches within a given state or market. Additionally, we utilize a disciplined acquisition strategy for both the payday and the buy here, pay here businesses. During 2011, we expect to open approximately five to ten branches providing
short-term loan products and two to three automotive locations.

The payday loan industry began its rapid growth in 1996, when
there were an estimated 2,000 payday loan branches in the United States. According to the Community Financial Services Association of America (CFSA), industry analysts estimate that the industry has approximately 19,700 payday loan branches in the
United States and these branches (exclusive of internet lending) extend approximately $29 billion in short-term credit to millions of middle-class households that experience cash-flow shortfalls between paydays. We believe our industry is highly
fragmented, with the 16 largest companies operating approximately one-half (approximately 9,900 branches) of the total industry branches. After a number of years of growth, the industry has contracted slightly in the past few years, primarily due to
changes in laws that govern the payday product. Absent changes in regulations and laws, we do not expect significant fluctuations in the industrys number of branches in the foreseeable future.

The payday loan industry has followed, and continues to be significantly affected by, payday lending legislation and regulation in the
various states and on a national level. We actively monitor and evaluate legislative and regulatory initiatives in each of the states and nationally, and are closely involved with the efforts of the CFSA. To the extent that states enact legislation
or regulations that negatively impacts payday lending, whether through preclusion, fee reduction or loan caps, our business has been adversely affected in the past and could be further adversely affected in the future. Over the past few years
certain states have enacted interest rate caps from 28% to 36% per annum on payday lending. A 36% per annum interest rate translates to approximately $1.38 per $100 loaned, which effectively precludes us from offering payday loans in those
states unless other transaction fees may be charged to the customer.

During 2009, payday loan-related legislation that
severely restricts customer access to payday loans was passed in South Carolina, Washington, Virginia and Kentucky. These law changes adversely affected our revenues and operating income during 2010. During 2010, the results from the states in which
we have experienced law changes were more negative than we expected, with revenue declines and loss rates exceeding our 2010 forecasts. For the year ended December 31, 2010, revenues and gross profit from South Carolina, Washington, Virginia
and Kentucky declined by $14.1 million and $9.0 million, respectively, compared to the prior year. In Arizona, the existing payday lending law expired on June 30, 2010. We are currently offering title loans to our Arizona customers. However,
our customers in Arizona have not embraced this product as they did the payday loan product. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, revenues and gross profit from our Arizona branches declined by $2.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively,
from the prior year. In March 2011, a new payday law became effective in Illinois that imposes customer usage restrictions that will negatively affect revenues and profitability. This type of customer restriction, when passed in other states such as
Washington, South Carolina and Kentucky, has resulted in a 30% to 60% decline in annual revenues depending on the types of alternative products that competitors may offer within the state. The Illinois law provides for an overlap of the previous

##### Table of Contents

lending approach with loans issued under the new law for a period of one year, which will likely extend the time period over which the negative effects of the new law will occur. Absent other
changes in payday lending laws or dramatic fluctuations in the broader economy and markets, we expect the net impact of the Illinois law change as discussed above, as well as the residual effect of Arizona in first half 2011 versus 2010 to reduce
revenues by $7.0 million to $10.0 million and to reduce branch gross profit by $5.0 million to $7.0 million during the year ending December 31, 2011 compared to 2010. Improvements in our Automotive division, as well as continued diversification
efforts both within our Financial Services branches and external to them, are expected to help offset the declines from the negative legislative changes.

Income from
continuing operations.For the three months ended March 31, 2011, income from continuing operations was $8.6 million compared to $9.2 million for the same period in 2010. A discussion of the various components of net income follows.

Revenues.For the three months ended March 31, 2011, revenues were $46.2 million, a decrease of 1.3% from $46.8
million during the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to reduced payday loan volumes in Arizona resulting from the expiration of the previous payday law on June 30, 2010, substantially offset by
higher automotive revenues.

Revenues from our payday loan product represent our largest source of revenues and were
approximately 62.9% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011. With respect to payday loan volume, we originated approximately $191.3 million in loans during first quarter 2011, which was a decline of 12.6% from the $218.8
million during 2010. This decline is primarily attributable to the expiration of the payday loan law in Arizona on June 30, 2010. The average payday loan (including fee) totaled $377.37 in first quarter 2011 versus $375.23 during first quarter
2010. Average fees received from customers per loan increased from $56.03 in first quarter 2010 to $57.04 in first quarter 2011. Our average fee rate per $100 for first quarter 2011 was $17.81 compared to $17.55 in 2010. A $2.1 million improvement
in automotive sales and interest revenues partially offset the short-term lending revenue declines. We believe this increase is attributable to improved customer demand and an additional year of operating experience in the same locations.

Revenues from installment loans, credit service fees, check cashing, title loans and other sources totaled
$10.2 million during first quarter 2011, up approximately $1.4 million from $8.8 million in the comparable prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to an increase in installment loan interest and fees and title loan fees. We began offering
the installment product in additional states during 2010 and we offered title loans in Arizona as an alternative to payday loans when the Arizona payday loan law expired on June 30, 2010.

We evaluate our branches based on revenue growth, with consideration given to the length of time a branch has been open and its
geographic location. The following table summarizes our revenues and average revenue per short-term lending branch per month for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011 based on the year that a branch was opened or acquired. Note, the
table excludes three branches that are scheduled to close during second quarter 2011 as these branches are part of discontinued operations.

##### Table of Contents

We anticipate that customer demand will continue to remain soft during 2011 due to high
unemployment rates, low consumer spending and weak consumer confidence. In addition, although we began offering title loans in our Arizona branches upon the expiration of the Arizona payday lending law on June 30, 2010, our Arizona customers
have not embraced the title loan product. As a result, our overall revenues in Arizona declined by $2.3 million compared to prior years first quarter and will continue to compare unfavorably during second quarter 2011. As noted above, absent
other changes in payday lending laws or dramatic fluctuations in the broader economy and markets, we expect the residual effect of Arizona in first half 2011 versus 2010 and the net impact of the Illinois law change to reduce revenues by $7.0
million to $10.0 million and to reduce branch gross profit by $5.0 million to $7.0 million during the year ending December 31, 2011 compared to 2010. Improvements in our Automotive division, as well as continued diversification efforts both
within our Financial Services branches and external to them, are expected to help offset the declines from the negative legislative changes.

Branch Expenses.Total branch expenses increased $1.0 million, from $27.0 million during first quarter 2010 to $28.0 million in first quarter 2011. Branch operating costs, exclusive of loan losses,
increased from $21.3 million during first quarter 2010 to $23.1 million in first quarter 2011. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in cost of sales from the automotive business.

The provision for losses decreased from $5.7 million in first quarter 2010 to $4.9 million during first quarter 2011. Our loss ratio was
12.2% in first quarter 2010 versus 10.6% in first quarter 2011. The improvement in the loss ratio reflects fewer returned items and better collections in first quarter 2011 versus first quarter 2010. Our charge-offs as a percentage of revenue were
34.6% during first quarter 2011 compared to 37.7% during first quarter 2010. Our collections as a percentage of charge-offs were 60.2% during first quarter 2011 compared to 56.0% during first quarter 2010. In addition, we received cash of
approximately $205,000 from the sale of certain payday loan receivables during first quarter 2011 that had previously been written off compared to $65,000 during first quarter 2010.

Branch Gross Profit.Branch gross profit was $18.3 million in first quarter 2011 versus $19.9 million in first quarter 2010.
Branch gross margin, which is branch gross profit as a percentage of revenues, was 39.5% during first quarter 2011 compared to 42.4% during first quarter 2010. The decline in gross profit was due to an increase in cost of sales in our Automotive
division. Short-term lending branches during first quarter 2011 reported a gross margin of 43.2% versus 43.3% in first quarter 2010. The decline in gross profit attributable to the changes in the Arizona law, as noted above, was substantially offset
by improvements in the majority of the states in which we operate.

##### Table of Contents

The following table summarizes our gross profit (loss), gross margin (gross profit as a
percentage of revenues) and loss ratio (losses as a percentage of revenues) of branches for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011 based on the year that a branch was opened or acquired. Note that the table excludes three branches that
are scheduled to close during second quarter 2011.

Regional
and Corporate Expenses.Regional and corporate expenses declined from $9.3 million in first quarter 2010 to $8.4 million in first quarter 2011. The decrease is primarily attributable to reduced occupancy costs associated with a renegotiated
corporate lease, together with lower expenses in various other areas.

Interest and Other Expenses.Interest expense
declined by approximately $110,000 from $704,000 during first quarter 2010 to $594,000 during first quarter 2011 due to lower average outstanding debt balances.

Income Tax Provision. The effective income tax rate during first quarter 2011 was 39.6% compared to 38.6% in prior years first quarter. The increase was primarily due to an
increase in non-deductible expenditures as a percentage of income from continuing operations before taxes.

Discontinued Operations. We closed 34 branches during 2010 that were not consolidated into nearby branches and announced we would
close 21 branches in Arizona, Washington and South Carolina during first half 2011. During first quarter 2011, we closed 18 of the 21 branches and we expect to close the remaining three branches in second quarter 2011. In addition, we closed two
branches during first quarter 2011 that were not consolidated into nearby branches and sold one branch. These 58 branches are reported as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income and related disclosures in the accompanying
notes for all periods presented. With respect to the Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and related disclosures in the accompanying notes, the items associated with the discontinued operations are included with
the continuing operations for all periods presented.

Cash Flow Discussion. Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations. On
December 7, 2007, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with a syndicate of banks that provides for a term loan of $50 million and a revolving line of credit (including provisions permitting the issuance of letters of credit
and swingline loans) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $45 million. The credit facility expires on December 6, 2012. The maximum borrowings under the amended credit facility may be increased by $25 million pursuant to bank approval in
accordance with the terms set forth in the credit facility.

Since fourth quarter 2008, the capital and credit markets have
been volatile, with fluctuating receptivity to lending based on underlying macroeconomic factors. If the capital and credit markets continue to experience volatility and the availability of funds remains limited, it is possible that our ability to
access the capital and credit markets may be limited at a time when we would like or need to do so, which could have an impact on our ability to fund our operations, refinance maturing debt or react to changing economic and business conditions. At
this time, we believe that our available short-term and long-term capital resources are sufficient to fund our working capital requirements, scheduled debt payments, interest payments, capital expenditures, income tax obligations, anticipated
dividends to our stockholders, and anticipated share repurchases for the foreseeable future.

In accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, amounts drawn on our revolving credit facility are shown as debt due within one year. Under the terms of our credit agreement, however, our revolving credit facility does not mature until December 2012, and no
principal amounts are due thereon prior to the maturity of the credit facility. Accordingly, so long as we are in compliance with our financial and other covenants in the credit facility, we do not face a refinancing risk until the term loan and the
revolving credit facility mature in December 2012.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was
$16.5 million, approximately $5.2 million lower than the $21.7 million in comparable 2010. This decline is due to changes in working capital items, primarily attributable to income taxes in first quarter 2011.

Net cash used by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $328,000, which included $706,000 for capital
expenditures and $292,000 in payments of premiums on life insurance. The capital expenditures primarily included $679,000 for technology and furnishings at the corporate office. These items were partially offset by proceeds received from the sale of
a branch in California totaling $666,000. Net cash used by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $488,000, which included $490,000 for capital expenditures. The capital expenditures primarily included $103,000 for
renovations to existing and acquired branches and $274,000 for technology and other furnishings at the corporate office.

Net
cash used for financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $18.3 million, which primarily consisted of $10.5 million in repayments of indebtedness under the revolving credit facility, $7.1 million in repayments on the term
loan, $900,000 in dividend payments to stockholders and $1.0 million for the repurchase of 243,000 shares of common stock. These items were partially offset by proceeds received from the borrowing of $1.0 million under the revolving credit facility.
Net cash used for financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $26.1 million, which primarily consisted of $20.5 million in repayments of indebtedness under the revolving credit facility, $5.4 million in repayments on the
term loan, $2.7 million in dividend payments to stockholders and $963,000 for the repurchase of 188,000 shares of common stock. These items were partially offset by proceeds received from the borrowing of $3.5 million under the revolving credit
facility.

The normal seasonality of our business results in a substantial decrease in loans receivable in the first quarter
of each calendar year and a corresponding increase in cash or reduction of our revolving credit facility. Throughout the rest of the year, the loans receivable balance typically grows in accordance with increasing customer demand. This growth is
funded either with operating cash or borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

Future Capital Requirements.We
believe that our available cash, expected cash flow from operations, and borrowings available under our credit facility will be sufficient to fund our liquidity and capital expenditure requirements during the remainder of 2011. Expected short-term
uses of cash include funding of any increases in short-term and automotive loans, debt repayments, interest payments on outstanding debt, dividend payments (to the extent approved by the board of directors), repurchases of company stock, and
financing of new branch expansion and acquisitions, if any. We expect that the majority of our cash requirements will be satisfied through internally generated cash flows, with any shortfall being funded through borrowing under our revolving credit
facility.

In November 2008, our board of directors established a regular quarterly dividend of $0.05 per common share. The
declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our operating results, financial condition, cash and capital requirements and other factors that the board of directors deems relevant. Our board of
directors has also approved special cash dividends from time to time, including a special cash dividend in November 2009 and February 2010. On April 27, 2011, our board of directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.05 per common
share. The dividend is payable May 31, 2011, to stockholders of record as of May 17, 2011, and the total amount to be paid will be approximately $900,000.

Our credit agreement requires us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio (computed in accordance with the credit agreement) of not less than 1.25 to 1. Under our credit agreement, we are required to
subtract any cash dividends paid on our common stock from our operating cash flow (as defined in the agreement) amount used in computing our fixed charge coverage ratio. Thus, our credit agreement may restrict our ability to pay cash dividends in
the future.

##### Table of Contents

The board of directors has authorized us to repurchase up to $60 million of our common stock
in the open market and through private purchases. The acquired shares may be used for corporate purposes, including shares issued to employees in stock-based compensation programs. As of March 31, 2011, we had repurchased 5.5 million
shares at a total cost of approximately $55.1 million, which leaves approximately $4.9 million that may yet be purchased under the current program, which expires June 30, 2011.

As part of our business strategy, we consider acquisitions and strategic business expansion opportunities from time to time. We believe
our current cash position, the availability under the credit facility and our expected cash flow from operations should provide the capital needed to fund internal growth opportunities, assuming no material acquisitions in 2011.

In response to changes in the overall market, over the past three years we have substantially reduced our branch expansion efforts. Since
January 1, 2007, we have opened 36 branches with the majority (32) of those opened during 2007 and 2008. The capital costs of opening a de novo branch include leasehold improvements, signage, computer equipment and security systems, and
the costs vary depending on the branch size, location and the services being offered. The average cost of capital expenditures for branches opened during 2007 and 2008 was approximately $44,000 per branch. Existing branches require minimal ongoing
capital expenditure, with the majority of any expenditures related to discretionary renovation or relocation projects.

As of
March 31, 2011, we had five buy here, pay here locations. During the start-up of these operations, capital requirements are not material. As the business grows, however, the business requires ongoing replenishment of automobile inventory. Sales
of automobiles are typically completed through a small down payment and an installment loan. As a result, the initial phase of a buy here, pay here operation is cash flow negative. Based on initial information and industry research, it appears that
a typical location requires approximately $2.5 million to $3.5 million of capital availability over a two to four year period. As this business progresses, we will evaluate the capital requirements and the associated return on investment. We have
the ability to manage the capital needs of the business through reduction of the number of automobiles held at each location, although reduced inventory levels may limit sales because of the appearance of limited vehicle selection for the customer.

Concentration of Risk. Our branches located in the states of Missouri, California, Kansas and Illinois represented
approximately 33%, 14%, 10% and 6%, respectively, of total revenues for three months ended March 31, 2011. Our branches located in the states of Missouri, California, Kansas, Illinois, Texas and New Mexico represented approximately 34%, 14%,
11%, 8%, 5% and 5%, respectively, of total branch gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2011. To the extent that laws and regulations are passed that affect our ability to offer payday loans or the manner in which we offer payday
loans in any one of those states, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected. As noted above, a new payday loan law in Illinois became effective in March 2011, which will negatively affect revenues and
profitability in that state over the next twelve to eighteen months.

Seasonality

Our Financial Services business is seasonal due to fluctuating demand for short-term loans during the year. Historically, we have
experienced our highest demand for short-term loans in January and in the fourth calendar quarter. As a result, to the extent that internally generated cash flows are not sufficient to fund the growth in loans receivable, fourth quarter and the
month of January are the most likely periods of time for utilization or increase in borrowings under our credit facility. Due to the receipt by customers of their income tax refunds, demand for short-term loans has historically declined in the
balance of the first quarter of each calendar year and the first month of the second quarter. Accordingly, this period is typically when any outstanding borrowings under the credit facility would be repaid (exclusive of any other capital-usage
activity, such as acquisitions, significant stock repurchases, etc.). Our loss ratio historically fluctuates with these changes in short-term loan demand, with a higher loss ratio in the second and third quarters of each calendar year and a lower
loss ratio in the first and fourth quarters of each calendar year. During mid-second quarter through third quarter, periodic utilization of our credit facility is not unusual, based on the level of loan losses and other capital-usage activities. Due
to the seasonality of our business, results of operations for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved for the full year.

Similarly, our Automotive segment experiences seasonality as automobile sales peak during
the first quarter of each year, primarily as a result of the receipt by customers of their income tax refunds, which are used as down payments for a vehicle. Automobile sales in the final three quarters are generally lower than the first quarter. In
addition, vehicle acquisition costs tend to increase in the second half of the year as companies build inventories for the expected first quarter volumes.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In September 2005, we began operating
through a subsidiary as a CSO in our Texas branches. As a CSO, we act as a credit services organization on behalf of consumers in accordance with Texas laws. We charge the consumer a fee for arranging for an unrelated third-party lender to make a
loan to the consumer and for providing related services to the consumer, including a guarantee of the consumers obligation to the third-party lender. We also service the loan for the lender. We are not involved in the loan approval process or
in determining the loan approval procedures or criteria, and we do not acquire or own any participation interest in the loans. Consequently, loans made by the lender will not be included in our loans receivable balance and will not be reflected in
the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Under the agreement with the current lender, however, we absorb all risk of loss through our guarantee of the consumers loan from the lender. As of December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, the consumers
had total loans outstanding with the lender of approximately $3.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Because of the economic exposure for potential losses related to the guarantee of these loans, we record a payable at fair value to reflect the
anticipated losses related to uncollected loans. The balance of the liability for estimated losses reported in accrued liabilities was $100,000 as of December 31, 2010 and $50,000 as of March 31, 2011. The following table summarizes the
activity in the CSO liability (in thousands):

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

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is
required to be timely disclosed, is accumulated and communicated to management in a timely fashion. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control
system are met. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or
submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required

disclosure and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commissions rules and forms.

Our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act
Rule 13a-15(f)) is designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting. However, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

|(a) | Stock repurchase of 5,055 shares in January 2011 and 68,047 shares in February 2011 were made in connection with the funding of employee income tax withholding
obligations arising from the vesting of restricted shares.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On June 3, 2009, our board of directors
extended our common stock repurchase program through June 30, 2011. The board of directors has previously authorized us to repurchase up to $60 million of our common stock in the open market and through private purchases. As of March 31,
2011, we have repurchased 5.5 million shares at a total cost of approximately $55.1 million, which leaves approximately $4.9 million that may yet be purchased under the current program.
