QC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1  The Company and Basis of Presentation

Business.The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of QC Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, QC Financial Services, Inc. and QC Services, 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. has provided various retail consumer financial products and services throughout its 23-year history. 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 check cashing services, title loans, credit services, installment 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, 2007, the Company operated 588 branches with locations in Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.

During first quarter 2007, the Company closed 39 of its lower performing branches largely due to regulatory changes that affected the prospects for the long-term profitability of each branch. In accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities(FAS 146), the Company recorded approximately $3.0 million in pre-tax charges during first quarter 2007 as a result of these
closings. The charges included $1.5 million in losses for disposal of assets, $1.5 million in occupancy costs for lease terminations and other related occupancy costs and $40,000 in other costs.

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 accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (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, 2006 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, 2006.

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 December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended
March 31, 2006 and 2007, in conformity with GAAP.

##### Table of Contents

Certain amounts in the prior years consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the current year presentation. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year 2007.

Note 2  Accounting Developments

In June 2006,
the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes(FIN 48). FIN 48 is an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes and it seeks to reduce the diversity in practice
associated with certain aspects of measurement and recognition in accounting for income taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return, and also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate
volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities using different measurement techniques. SFAS 159 requires additional disclosures related to fair value measurements included in the entitys financial
statements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 159 on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurement (SFAS 157). SFAS 157
establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to generally accepted accounting principles guidance requiring use of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value
measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 157 on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3  Earnings Per Share

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 year. The computation of diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the year.
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).

Note 4  Significant Business Transactions

Closure of branches.During first quarter 2007, the Company closed 39 of its lower performing branches largely due to regulatory changes that
affected the prospects for the long-term profitability of each branch. In accordance with FAS 146, the Company recorded approximately $3.0 million in pre-tax charges during first quarter 2007 as a result of these closings. The charges recorded
included $1.5 million loss for the disposition of fixed assets, $1.5 million for lease terminations and other related occupancy costs and $40,000 for other costs. In the Consolidated Statements of Income the loss associated with the disposition of
fixed assets is included in other expense, the costs associated with the lease terminations is included in occupancy costs and the other costs of $40,000 is included in other branch expenses.

The following table summarizes the accrued costs and other charges associated with the closure of branches and the activity related to those charges as

costs is included as a current liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as the Company expects that the liability for these costs will be settled by December 31, 2007.

Acquisitions.During first quarter 2007, the Company acquired 9 branches and certain assets, in two separate acquisitions, for a total of $2.1
million. On March 7, 2007, the Company acquired one branch in Nevada for approximately $190,000. On March 31, 2007, the Company acquired eight branches in Missouri for approximately $1.9 million. The Company used the purchase method of
accounting. In connection with the Missouri branch acquisition, the Company closed six of the branches acquired and transferred the receivable balances to existing locations. The acquisition of the Missouri branches was funded in April 2007 and
therefore the purchase price of $1.9 million has been included in accrued expenses and other liabilities as of March 31, 2007. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired on the date of acquisition (in
thousands).

The amounts recorded as goodwill and intangible assets could change once the final purchase price
allocations are completed. The pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the results of operations for the Company would not have been materially different from those reported for first quarter 2007.

On December 1, 2006, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests in Express Check Advance of South Carolina, LLC
(ECA). The results of ECAs operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date. ECA operates 51 payday loan branches in South Carolina. As a result of the acquisition, the Company has established a
significant presence in South Carolina. The aggregate purchase price was $16.3 million, net of cash acquired. The acquisition was funded with a draw on the Companys revolving credit facility, which was repaid during first quarter 2007.

Note 5  Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Provision for 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:



|                                              |  |                              |        |      |   |       
|--------------------------------------------- |  | ---------------------------- | ------ | ---- | - | ------
|                                              |  | Three Months Ended March 31,
|                                              |  | 2006                         |        | 2007
|Average loan to customer (principal plus fee) |  | $                            | 360.06 |      | $ | 362.81
|Average fee received by the Company           |  | $                            | 52.84  |      | $ | 52.30 
|Average term of the loan (days)               |  |                              | 16     |      |   | 16    

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 16 days after their 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. During first quarter 2007, the Company
received approximately $1.0 million from the sale of certain payday loan receivables that the Company had previously charged off. The sale was recorded as a credit to the overall loss provision, which is consistent with the Companys policy for
recording recoveries.

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 and installment 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 Company aggregates payday loans, title loans and installment loans for purposes of computing the loss allowance based on very similar historical averages of uncollectible amounts as a percentage of
volume for each type of loan (generally ranging from 2% to 4% of the total volume).

In February 2005, the Company entered into a seven-year lease to relocate its corporate headquarters to
office space in Overland Park, Kansas. As part of the lease agreement, the Company received a tenant allowance from the landlord for leasehold improvements totaling $976,000. The tenant allowance was recorded by the Company as a deferred rent
liability and is being amortized as a reduction of rent expense over the life of the lease. As of December 31, 2006, the balance of the deferred rent liability was approximately $737,000, of which $598,000 is classified as a non-current
liability. As of March 31, 2007, the balance of the deferred rent liability was approximately $703,000 of which $563,000 is classified as a non-current liability.

Intangible assets at December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007 include customer
relationships, non-compete agreements, trade names and debt financing costs. Customer relationships are amortized using the straight-line method over the weighted average useful lives ranging from 4 to 15 years. Non-compete agreements are currently
amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the agreements, ranging from three to five years. The amount recorded for trade names is considered an indefinite life intangible and is not subject to amortization. Costs paid to obtain debt
financing are amortized over the term of each related debt agreement using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method.

Note 9  Income taxes

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48. Prior to the adoption of FIN 48, the
Company had accrued sufficient liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies and therefore no adjustments to retained earnings
were necessary as a result of the implementation of FIN 48. As of December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007 the accrued liability for unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $150,000. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if
recognized, would affect the effective tax rate is approximately $150,000.

The Company records accruals for interest and penalties related
to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and operating expense respectively. As of March 31, 2007, the amount of accrued interest and penalties was approximately $40,000 and $25,000 respectively.

##### Table of Contents

In the ordinary course of business, many transactions occur for which the ultimate tax outcome is
uncertain. In addition, respective tax authorities periodically audit our income tax returns. These audits examine our significant tax filing positions, including the timing and amounts of deductions and the allocation of income among tax
jurisdictions. During 2006, the Company settled two open tax years, 2003 and 2004, which were undergoing audit by the United States Internal Revenue Service. The 2005 and 2006 federal income tax returns are the only open tax years that remain
subject to potential future audit. State income tax returns for all years after 1999 are subject to potential future audit by tax authorities in the Companys state tax jurisdictions.

The Company is currently being audited in one state jurisdiction. It is reasonably possible that the Company will settle the audit in this particular
state jurisdiction within 12 months after the reporting date.

Note 10  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
credit service organization (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, 2006 and March 31, 2007, the consumers had total loans outstanding with the lender of approximately $2.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively. Because of the economic exposure for potential losses related to the guarantee of
these loans, the Company records a payable to reflect the anticipated losses related to uncollected loans. The payable is recognized at its fair value pursuant to FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure
Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.Changes in the liability are recognized through the provision for loan losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The balance of the liability for
estimated losses reported in accrued liabilities was approximately $100,000 as of December 31, 2006 and $110,000 at March 31, 2007.

Note 11
 Credit Facility

On January 19, 2006, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks, which provides
for a revolving line of credit (including provisions permitting the issuance of letters of credit) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $45.0 million (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, without limitation, all present and future accounts receivable, general intangibles (including intellectual property), instruments, deposit accounts,
investment property and the proceeds thereof). Borrowings under 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.
LIBOR Rate loans bear interest at rates based on the LIBOR rate for the applicable loan period. 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. The credit facility has a grid that adjusts borrowing costs up or down based upon the Companys leverage ratio. Leverage ratio is defined as the ratio of total debt to EBITDA (earnings before interest,
provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash expenses related to equity-based compensation). An annual facility fee of 0.25% is required on the credit facility. Among other provisions, the Company has agreed in the credit
facility to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio as of the end of each fiscal quarter of not less than 1.25 to 1, a leverage ratio (defined as the ratio of funded debt to EBITDA, as defined in credit agreement) not greater than 2.00 to 1, and a
minimum consolidated net worth of not less than $81.6 million, plus 75% of the Companys consolidated net income since January 2006. The credit facility expires on January 19, 2009.

##### Table of Contents

On October 30, 2006, the Company entered into an amendment to its credit agreement to amend certain
financial covenants that affect the Companys ability to repurchase shares of its common stock and pay dividends on its stock. The amendment also waived any defaults under the credit agreement (prior to the amendment) as a result of the
Companys repurchase of approximately $10.7 million of its common stock during third quarter 2006. The amendment provides for greater flexibility in repurchasing the Companys common stock within the parameters of the existing
authorization and removes the restriction on the Companys ability to pay dividends to its stockholders. As of March 31, 2007, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.

On December 1, 2006, the Company borrowed $16.3 million under the credit facility with a LIBOR Rate loan to fund the acquisition of ECA. The LIBOR
Rate loan had a loan term of three months. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the LIBOR Rate loan was 6.87% during first quarter 2007. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had $16.3 million outstanding under this credit
facility, which was classified as a current liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet due to the short-term nature of the loan term. During first quarter 2007, the Company repaid the $16.3 million that was outstanding as of December 31, 2006.
As of March 31, 2007, the Company did not have any outstanding indebtedness.

Note 12  Stock-Based Compensation

Restricted stock grants. During first quarter 2007, the Company granted 84,474 shares of restricted stock to various employees and non-employee
directors pursuant to restricted stock agreements. The grants consisted of 71,974 shares granted to employees that vest equally over four years and 12,500 shares granted to non-employee directors that vested immediately upon grant. The Company
estimated that the fair market value of these restricted stock grants was approximately $1.2 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company recognized approximately $245,000 in stock-based compensation expense related to these
restricted stock grants. As of March 31, 2007, there was $967,000 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to the restricted stock grants. The Company expects that these costs will be amortized over a weighted average period of 3.75
years.

A summary of all restricted stock activity under the equity compensation plans for the three months ended March 31, 2007 is as
follows:

Note 13  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, which it is recorded.

Arizona. In 2005, one of the Companys Arizona customers filed a lawsuit against the Company
in Superior Court of Pima County, Arizona, seeking class certification and challenging the validity of the Companys lending practices in Arizona on a variety of theories, alleging that the loan violated the Arizona Deferred Presentment
Companies Statute and asserting various other claims based in tort, contract and violations of state law. The Company removed the case to federal court and filed a motion to compel arbitration. The Magistrate Judge granted the Companys motion
to compel arbitration, but found the Companys class action waiver in the arbitration agreement signed by the customer to be unconscionable. The result of this decision is that he compelled the parties to consider the issue of class action
standing in arbitration. The Company appealed this ruling to the District Court judge, and, in March 2007, the District Court affirmed the ruling of the Magistrate Judge. The Company is appealing the District Court ruling.

Missouri.On October 13, 2006, Dequae Woods, 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 has not filed an answer, but has moved to compel arbitration of this matter. Plaintiff has secured the right to have discovery regarding the
Companys arbitration provision, however, prior to the courts ruling on the Companys motion. The Company anticipates that the court will consider its motion to compel arbitration some time this summer.

New Mexico. In September 2005, the New Mexico Attorney General issued proposed regulations that have the practical effect of limiting the fees and
interest on payday loans to 54% per annum, thus effectively prohibiting payday loans in New Mexico. In January 2006, the Attorney General purported to adopt the regulations in final form. The Company filed a Civil Complaint for Injunctive
Relief and Declaratory Judgment against the New Mexico Attorney General in District Court in Bernalillo County, New Mexico.

The Attorney
General and the parties to the lawsuits against the Attorney General (including the Company) agreed to stay those proceedings while the New Mexico Financial Institutions Division (FID) had an opportunity to promulgate new regulations for the payday
loan industry.

In June 2006, the FID promulgated new regulations, which were scheduled to go into effect on August 31, 2006. On
August 30, 2006, the Company, joined by other parties, received a permanent injunction of the FID regulations in state court in New Mexico. As a result of this ruling, the FID is restrained from enforcing its regulations. The FID never
perfected its appeal of the permanent injunction (after expressing its intent to do so), and in April 2007, the court entered an order dismissing the FIDs appeal and making the injunction permanent.

In March 2007, New Mexico adopted legislation (effective November 2007) that will, among other matters, reduce the maximum fee that may be charged to a
customer from $20.00 per $100.00 borrowed to $15.50 per $100 borrowed. The Company anticipates that this new legislation will effectively end all pending matters with the New Mexico Attorney General and the FID, and the Company intends to dismiss
all pending litigation it has filed against the New Mexico Attorney General.

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.

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, have appealed that ruling. The judge handling the lawsuit against the Company in North Carolina is the same judge who issued these three orders in December
2005. The Company has not had a ruling on the similar pending motions by the plaintiffs and the Company in its North Carolina case. There is a stay in the North Carolina lawsuit, pending the outcome of the appeal in the other three North Carolina
cases concerning the enforceability of the arbitration provision in the consumer contracts. Accordingly, there will be no ruling on the Companys motion to enforce arbitration in North Carolina during the pendency of that appeal. In January
2007, the North Carolina Supreme Court heard the appeal in the three companion cases, although it is unknown when the court will issue its ruling.

Note
14  Certain Concentrations of Risk

The Company is subject to regulation by federal and state governments, that affects the
products and services provided by the Company, particularly payday loans. As of March 31, 2007, the Company offered payday loans in 25 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 specific payday lending legislation to other states with very strict guidelines and requirements.

Company branches located in the states of Missouri, California, Arizona, South Carolina, Kansas and New Mexico represented approximately 24%, 13%, 9%, 7%, 6% and 5%, respectively, of total revenues for the three months ended March 31,
2007. To the extent that laws and regulations are passed that affect the Companys ability to offer payday loans or the manner by which the Company offers its payday loans in any one of these states, the Companys financial position,
results of operations and cash flows could be affected.

In March 2007, New Mexico adopted legislation (effective November 2007) that will
reduce the maximum fee that may be charged to a customer from $20.00 per $100.00 borrowed to $15.50 per $100 borrowed, which will adversely affect our revenues and gross profits in New Mexico after that effective date.

Note 15  Stock Repurchase Program

In August
2006, the Companys board of directors increased the authorization limit of the Companys common stock repurchase program to $30 million and extended the program through June 30, 2007. The program would have otherwise expired on
December 31, 2006, or earlier if the Company had repurchased common stock with an aggregate cost of $10 million. As of March 31, 2007, the Company has repurchased 1.7 million shares at a total cost of approximately $21.7 million.

Note 16  Subsequent Events

Dividends. On May 1, 2007, the Companys board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per common share. The dividend is payable on May 31, 2007 to stockholders of record as of May 15, 2007. The
Company estimates that the total amount of the dividend will be approximately $2 million.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

We operate primarily through our
wholly-owned subsidiaries, QC Financial Services, Inc and QC Services, 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 represents approximately 86% of our total revenues during first quarter 2007. We also earn fees for various other financial services, such as check cashing services,
title loans, credit services, installment loans, money transfers and money orders. We operated 588 branches in 25 states at March 31, 2007. 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. In Texas, through one of our subsidiaries, we operate as a 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.

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 and occupancy expense for our leased real estate. Regional and corporate expenses, including compensation of employees, professional fees and equity award expenses 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 evaluate changes in comparable branch metrics on a routine basis to assess operating efficiency. We define comparable
branches as those branches that are open during the full periods for which a comparison is being made. For example, comparable branches for the analysis as of March 31, 2007 have been open at least 15 months on that date. 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 driven primarily by the addition of branches throughout the year and growth in 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. We have experienced seasonality in our operations, with the first and fourth quarters typically being our strongest periods as a result of broader economic factors, such as holiday spending habits at the end of each year and income
tax refunds during the first quarter.

According to the Community Financial Services Association of America (CFSA), industry analysts
estimate that the industry has grown to approximately 24,000 payday loan branches in the United States and these branches extend approximately $40 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 as 10 companies operate approximately 8,500 branches in the United States.

With this fragmentation and industry growth, we believe there are opportunities to expand through acquisitions and new branch openings. We are actively identifying possible branch locations in numerous states in which we currently operate
and evaluating the regulatory environment and market potential in the various states in which we currently do not have branches. As we consider acquisitions and open new branches, there are various execution risks associated with any such
transactions. During first quarter 2007, we closed 39 of our lower performing branches largely due to regulatory changes that affected the prospects for long-term profitability of each branch. As a result of these closings, we recorded approximately
$3.0 million in pre-tax charges during first quarter 2007. The following table sets forth our growth through de novo branch openings and branch acquisitions since January 1, 2002.

The growth of the payday loan industry has followed, and continues to be significantly affected
by, increasing acceptance of payday lending by state legislatures. To the extent that states enact legislation that negatively impacts payday lending, whether through preclusion, fee reduction or loan caps, our business could be adversely affected.
We actively monitor and evaluate regulatory initiatives in each of the states and nationally, and are closely involved with the efforts of the CFSA.

Recent Accounting Developments

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose
to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets
and liabilities using different measurement techniques. SFAS 159 requires additional disclosures related to fair value measurements included in the entitys financial statements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 159 on its consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes(FIN 48). FIN 48 is an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes and it seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of measurement and recognition in accounting for income taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute
for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and
transition.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurement,
(SFAS 157). SFAS 157 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to generally accepted accounting principles guidance requiring use of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such
fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently assessing the impact of SFAS 157 on our consolidated financial statements.

Net income.For the three months ended March 31, 2007, net income was $3.4 million compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 2006. As
noted above, we closed 39 of our lower performing branches during first quarter 2007. The closure of these branches was largely due to regulatory changes that affected the prospects for long-term profitability of each branch. As a result of these
closings, we recorded approximately $3.0 million in pre-tax charges during first quarter 2007. The charges recorded included $1.5 million in losses on the disposition of fixed assets, $1.5 million in occupancy costs for lease terminations and other
related occupancy costs and $40,000 in other costs. A discussion of the various components of net income follows.

Revenues.For the
three months ended March 31, 2007, revenues were $48.5 million, a 26.3% increase from $38.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2006. The growth in revenues was primarily a result of higher payday loan volumes, which reflects
increases in the number of branches, the number of customer transactions and average loan size. We originated approximately $279.1 million through payday loans during first quarter 2007, which was an increase of 20.5% over the $231.7 million during
first quarter 2006. The average loan (including fee) totaled $362.81 in first quarter 2007 versus $360.06 during first quarter 2006. Average fees received from customers per loan declined from $52.84 in first quarter 2006 to $52.30 in first quarter
2007 due to legislative and regulatory changes affecting rates and to a decline in the fee rate as loan volumes increase in newer branches located in states that have lower fee structures, partially offset by a higher average loan principal. Our
average fee rate per $100 for first quarter 2007 was $16.84 compared to $17.20 in first quarter 2006.

We anticipate that our average fee
rate may continue to decline in 2007 as rates are modified based on changing legislation or regulation and as we enter into or expand in states that have lower fee structures. In March 2007, New Mexico adopted legislation (effective November 2007)
that will reduce the maximum fee that may be charged to a customer from $20.00 per $100.00 borrowed to $15.50 per $100 borrowed. In addition, the new legislation restricts the total number of loans a customer may have and prohibits immediate loan
renewals.

##### Table of Contents

One manner by which we evaluate our branches is revenue growth, with consideration given to the length of
time the branch has been open. We define comparable branches as those branches that are open during the full periods for which a comparison is being made. For example, comparable branches for the quarterly analysis as of March 31, 2007 have
been open at least 15 months. The following table provides a summary of our revenues by comparable branches and new branches:

Our revenues from
comparable branches increased by $6.0 million, from $37.1 million during first quarter 2006 to $43.1 million in first quarter 2007. This increase is primarily attributable to the benefits resulting from the continuing development of our branches
opened in 2005 and to growth in the installment loan product in our Illinois branches. Revenues from our 2005 group of branches improved 65% to $9.4 million for the first quarter 2007 versus $5.7 million in first quarter 2006.

During 2007, we believe the growth rate in comparable branch revenue will be particularly affected by: (i) the benefits resulting from the aging of
our 2005 and 2004 groups of branches; (ii) the negative effects resulting from the federal guidelines that effectively bans payday lending to members of the military, which could reduce our revenues by approximately $2 million to $3 million;
and (iii) the new legislation adopted in New Mexico (effective November 2007) that will reduce the fee rate from $20.00 per $100.00 to $15.50 per $100.00 borrowed and place restrictions on the number of loans a customer may have in New Mexico.

Revenues in first quarter 2007 also include approximately $4.8 million from branches added during 2006, including the 51 South Carolina
branches acquired in December 2006.

Revenues from check cashing, title loans, CSO fees, installment loans and other sources totaled $6.9
million during first quarter 2007, up approximately $2.0 million from the $4.7 million in the comparable prior year quarter. The following table summarizes other revenues:

The decline in check cashing fees reflects a decrease in demand, partially offset by a greater
number of branches providing the product. The revenue increases in credit services fees and installment loans reflects the addition of new product offerings as credit services were offered in our Texas branches beginning in September 2005 and
installment loans were offered in our Illinois branches beginning in second quarter 2006.

##### Table of Contents

Branch Expenses.Total branch expenses increased $5.2 million, or 19.9%, from $26.1 million during
first quarter 2006 to $31.3 million in first quarter 2007. The increase was attributable to costs at newer branches and to a $1.5 million charge related to the branch closings for operating lease terminations and other related occupancy costs.
Branch-level salaries and benefits increased by $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily as a result of a 7% increase in field personnel associated with our new branches.

The provision for losses increased from $5.2 million in first quarter 2006 to $6.5 million during first quarter 2007. Our loss ratio was
13.3% in first quarter 2007 versus 13.6% in first quarter 2006. Comparable branches totaled $6.6 million in loan losses during first quarter 2007, while branches opened during 2006 and the first three months of 2007 had approximately $1.1 million in
loan losses. In our comparable branches, the loss ratio was 15.2% during first quarter 2007. The favorable loss ratios experienced in first quarter 2007 and first quarter 2006 reflect reduced charge-offs as a result of the ongoing benefits of our
loan origination-based verification procedures and strong collections. Our charge-offs as a percentage of revenue were 43.4% during first quarter 2007 compared to 43.7% during first quarter 2006. Our collections as a percentage of charge-offs were
63.5% during first quarter 2007 and 64.5% during first quarter 2006. In addition, we received approximately $1.0 million from the sale of certain payday loan receivables during first quarter 2007 that had previously been written off.

Occupancy costs increased from $5.3 million in first quarter 2006 to $7.9 million in first quarter 2007. Occupancy costs as a percentage of revenues
increased from 13.9% in first quarter 2006 to 16.3% in first quarter 2007. The higher level of occupancy costs was primarily due to the branch closing costs and to a higher average number of branches quarter-to-quarter. As noted above, we recorded a
charge of $1.5 million to occupancy expense to reflect an estimate of the lease termination costs and other related occupancy costs associated with our decision to close these branches.

Branch Gross Profit.Branch gross profit increased from $12.3 million in first quarter 2006 to $17.2 million in first quarter 2007. Branch gross
margin, which is branch gross profit as a percentage of revenues, increased from 32.1% during first quarter 2006 to 35.5% during first quarter 2007. The following table summarizes our branch gross profit by comparable branches and new branches.

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

Comparable branches
during first quarter 2007 reported a gross margin of 41.4% versus 35.6% in first quarter 2006, with the improvements resulting from stronger results in the majority of states. The 96 branches added during 2006 reported gross profit $875,000, the
majority of which is from the 51 South Carolina branches acquired in December 2006.

Regional and Corporate Expenses.Regional and
corporate expenses increased $1.4 during the three months ended March 31, 2007, to $9.4 million from $8.0 million in first quarter 2006. The higher level of expenses in first quarter 2007 is attributable to approximately $750,000 in advertising
and public awareness expenditures, equity award compensation for grants made in December 2006 and January 2007 and to salaries associated with a 10% increase in the average number of home office and regional personnel quarter-to-quarter.

Income Tax Provision. The effective income tax rate during first quarter 2007, increased slightly to 39.9% from 39.6% in prior years first quarter.

Cash Flow Discussion. Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations. In
addition, we entered into a credit agreement on January 19, 2006, which provides a three-year revolving line of credit for borrowings up to $45.0 million (the credit facility). As of March 31, 2007, there was no balance outstanding under
the credit facility.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $20.0 million,
approximately $4.1 million higher than the $15.9 million in comparable 2006. This increase is primarily attributable to higher net income during first quarter 2007, plus certain non-cash charges associated with the branch closings.

Net cash used by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $1.1 million, which consisted of approximately $929,000 for
capital expenditures and approximately $197,000 for acquisition costs. The capital expenditures included $147,000 to open 4 de novo branches in 2007, $371,000 for renovations to existing and acquired branches, $234,000 for technology and other
furnishings at the corporate office, $39,000 for branches not yet open as of March 31, 2007 and $138,000 for other expenditures. Net cash used by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $2.1 million for capital
expenditures. The capital expenditures included $682,000 to open 18 de novo branches in 2006, $733,000 for renovations to existing and acquired branches, $331,000 for tenant improvements, furnishings and technology for the new corporate office space
and $363,000 for branches not yet open as of March 31, 2006 and other expenditures.

Cash used for financing activities for the three
months ended March 31, 2007 was $19.3 million, which primarily consisted of $16.3 million in repayments of indebtedness under the credit facility. In addition, we paid dividends to stockholders totaling $2.0 million and repurchased
approximately 116,000 shares of our common stock for $1.6 million. These items were partially offset by proceeds received from the exercise of stock options by employees. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, cash outflows consisted of
the repurchase 174,000 shares of our common stock for approximately $2.2 million.

Future Capital Requirements.We believe that our
available cash, expected cash flows from operations and borrowings available under our credit facility will be sufficient to fund our liquidity and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future. Expected future uses of cash include
funding of anticipated increases in payday loans, dividend payments, common stock repurchases, financing of new branch expansion and acquisitions and if amounts are borrowed under the credit facility, debt repayments and interest payments on the
outstanding debt.

On May 1, 2007, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per common share. The dividend is payable
on May 31, 2007 to stockholders of record as of May 15, 2007. We estimate that the total amount of the dividend will be approximately $2 million.

##### Table of Contents

The level of cash required to operate a particular branch varies based on the products and services
provided by that branch. For each branch location, cash is comprised of: (i) a certain amount of cash needed in the branch location; (ii) an operating reserve amount at the local bank used by that branch; and (iii) in-transit amounts
within the banking system. As a general guideline, a typical payday only branch requires an average of approximately $10,000 to $15,000, while a branch that also includes check cashing requires an average of approximately $35,000 to $45,000.

As part of our business strategy, we intend to open de novo branches and consider acquisitions in existing and new markets. During 2005
and 2006, we were able to achieve de novo unit branch growth of 46.9% and 8.6%, respectively. In addition, we acquired 10 branches and 51 branches in 2005 and 2006, respectively. During the first quarter 2007, we opened 12 branches and acquired 8
branches. In connection with one of our acquisitions, we elected to close six of the branches acquired and transfer the receivable balances to our existing branch locations. During 2007, we expect to open between 15 and 25 additional branches. We
believe our current cash position and our expected cash flow from operations should provide the capital needed to fund this level of growth, assuming no material acquisitions.

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. In fiscal 2006, we opened 46 de novo branches. The average cost of capital expenditures for these new branches was approximately $56,000 per branch.

Common Stock Repurchase Program.In August 2006, our board of directors increased the authorization limit of our common stock repurchase program
to $30 million and extended the program through June 30, 2007. The program would have otherwise expired on December 31, 2006, or earlier if we had repurchased common stock with an aggregate cost of $10 million. As of March 31, 2007,
we have repurchased 1.7 million shares at a total cost of approximately $21.7 million.

Concentration of Risk. Our
branches located in the states of Missouri, California, Arizona, South Carolina, Kansas and New Mexico represented approximately 24%, 13%, 9%, 7%, 6% and 5%, respectively, of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007. To the
extent that laws and regulations are passed that affect our ability to offer payday loans or the manner by which we offer our payday loans in any one of those states, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows could be affected.

As discussed above, there is new legislation in New Mexico that will become effective in November 2007, which will adversely affect our
revenues and gross profit in our New Mexico branches.

Seasonality

Our business is seasonal due to fluctuating demand for payday loans during the year. Historically, we have experienced our highest demand for payday loans in January and in the fourth calendar quarter. As a result of
the receipt by customers of their income tax refunds, demand for payday loans has historically declined in the balance of the first quarter of each calendar year and the first month of the second quarter. This historical pattern continued in the
first quarter of 2007, as we experienced a significant reduction in loan demand by the end of the quarter. Our loss ratio historically fluctuates with these changes in payday 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. 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.

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 will 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 Sheet. 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, 2006, and March 31, 2007, consumers had total loans outstanding with the lender of approximately $2.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively. Because of the economic exposure for potential losses related to the
guarantee of these loans, we record a payable to reflect the anticipated losses related to uncollected loans. The payable is recognized at its fair value pursuant to FIN 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees,
Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.Changes in the liability are recognized through the provision for loan losses in our Consolidated Statements of Income. The balance of the liability for estimated losses reported in
accrued liabilities was approximately $100,000 as of December 31, 2006 and $110,000 as of March 31, 2007.



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

We have had no significant changes in our Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk from that previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.



|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 Acts)) 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.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION



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

Arizona. In 2005, one of
our Arizona customers filed a lawsuit against us in Superior Court of Pima County, Arizona, seeking class certification and challenging the validity of our lending practices in Arizona on a variety of theories, alleging that the loan violated the
Arizona Deferred Presentment Companies Statute and asserting various other claims based in tort, contract and violations of state law. We removed the case to federal court and filed a motion to compel arbitration. The Magistrate Judge granted our
motion to compel arbitration, but found our class action waiver in the arbitration agreement signed by the customer to be unconscionable. The result of this decision is that he compelled the parties to consider the issue of class action standing in
arbitration. We appealed this ruling to the District Court judge, and, in March 2007, the District Court affirmed the ruling of the Magistrate Judge. We are appealing the District Court ruling.

New Mexico. In September 2005, the New Mexico Attorney General issued proposed regulations that have the practical effect of limiting the fees and
interest on payday loans to 54% per annum, thus effectively prohibiting payday loans in New Mexico. In January 2006, the Attorney General purported to adopt the regulations in final form. We filed a Civil Complaint for Injunctive Relief and
Declaratory Judgment against the New Mexico Attorney General in District Court in Bernalillo County, New Mexico.

The Attorney General and
the parties to the lawsuits against the Attorney General (including us) agreed to stay those proceedings while the New Mexico Financial Institutions Division (FID) had an opportunity to promulgate new regulations for the payday loan industry.

In June 2006, the FID promulgated new regulations, which were scheduled to go into effect on August 31, 2006. On August 30,
2006, we, joined by other parties, received a permanent injunction of the FID regulations in state court in New Mexico. As a result of this ruling, the FID is restrained from enforcing its regulations. The FID never perfected its appeal of the
permanent injunction (after expressing its intent to do so), and in April 2007, the court entered an order dismissing the FIDs appeal and making the injunction permanent.

In March 2007, New Mexico adopted legislation (effective November 2007) that will, among other matters, reduce the maximum fee that may be charged to a
customer from $20.00 per $100.00 borrowed to $15.50 per $100 borrowed. We anticipate that this new legislation will effectively end all pending matters with the New Mexico Attorney General and the FID, and we intend to dismiss all pending litigation
that we have filed against the New Mexico Attorney General.



|Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
|------- | -----------------------------------------------------------

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.In August 2006, our board of directors increased the authorization limit of our common stock repurchase program to $30 million and extended the program through June 30, 2007. The program
would have otherwise expired on December 31, 2006, or earlier if we had repurchased common stock with an aggregate cost of $10 million. As of March 31, 2007, we have repurchased 1.7 million shares at a total cost of approximately
$21.7 million.
