WESTERN CAPITAL RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.Basis of Presentation, Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies –

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Section 210.8-03(b) of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and, therefore, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been omitted.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periodperiods ended March 31,June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in our Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2011, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP.

 

Nature of Business

 

Western Capital Resources, Inc. (WCR), through its wholly owned operating subsidiaries, Wyoming Financial Lenders, Inc. (WFL) and PQH Wireless, Inc. (PQH), collectively referred to as the “Company,” provides retail financial services and retail cellular phone sales to individuals primarily in the Midwestern and Southwestern United States.  As of March 31,June 30, 2012, the Company operated 52 “payday” stores in nine states (Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, Wisconsin and Wyoming) and operated 4850 Cricket wireless retail stores in 1314 states (Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas and Texas)Washington).  The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of WCR, WFL, and PQH. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The Company, through its “payday” division, provides non-recourse cash advance andloans, small unsecured installment loans, check cashing and other money services.  The short-term consumer loans, known as cash advance loans or “payday” loans, are in amounts that typically range from $100 to $500. Cash advance loans provide customers with cash in exchange for a promissory note with a maturity of generally two to four weeks and the customer’s post-dated 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 $22 perfor each whole or partial increment of $100 borrowed. To repay the cash advance loan, a customer may pay with cash, in which case their personal check is returned to them, or allow the check to be presented to the bank for collection. Installment loans provide customers with cash in exchange for a promissory note with a maturity of generally three to six months. The fee and interest rate on installment loans vary based on applicable regulations. Like cash advance or “payday” loans, installment loans are unsecured.

 

The Company also provides title loans and other ancillary consumer financial products and services that are complementary to its cash advance-lending business, such as check-cashing services, money transfers and money orders.  In our check-cashing business, we primarily cash payroll checks, but we also cash government assistance, tax refund and insurance checks or drafts. Our fees for cashing payroll checks average approximately 2.5% of the face amount of the check, subject to local market conditions, and this fee is deducted from the cash given to the customer for the check. We display our check-cashing fees in full view of our customers on a menu board in each store and provide a detailed receipt for each transaction. Although we have established guidelines for approving check-cashing transactions, we have no preset limit on the size of the checks we will cash.

 

Our loans and other related services are subject to state regulations (which vary from state to state), federal regulations and local regulations, where applicable.

 

The Company also operates a Cricket Wireless Retail division that is a premier dealer for Cricket Communications, Inc., reselling cellular phones and accessories and accepting service payments from Cricket customers.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect certain reported amounts and disclosures in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant management estimates relate to the loans receivable allowance, allocation of and carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets, inventory valuation and obsolescence, and deferred taxes and tax uncertainties.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes fees on cash advance loans on a constant-yield basis ratably over the loans’ terms. Title and installment loan fees and interest are recognized using the interest method except that installment loan origination fees are recognized as they become non-refundable and installment loan maintenance fees are recognized when earned. The Company records revenue from check cashing fees, sales of phones, and accessories and fees from all other services in the period in which the sale or service is completed.  

 

Loans Receivable Allowance

 

We maintain a loan loss allowance for anticipated losses for our payday, installment and title loans. To estimate the appropriate level of the loan loss allowance, we consider the amount of outstanding loans owed to us, historical loans charged off, current and expected collection patterns and current economic trends. Our current payday loan loss allowance is based on our net write offs, typically expressed as a percentage of loan amounts originated for the last 24 months applied against the principal balance of outstanding loans that we write off. Our current installment loan loss allowance also factors in the delinquency status of loans within the installment portfolio. The Company also periodically performs a look-back analysis on its loan loss allowance to verify that the historical allowance established tracks with the actual subsequent loan write-offs and recoveries. The Company is aware that, as conditions change, it may also need to make additional allowances in future periods.

 

Included in loans receivable are payday loans that are currently due or past due and payday loans that have not been repaid.  This generally is evidenced where a customer’s personal check has been deposited and the check has been returned due to non-sufficient funds in the customer’s account, a closed account, or other reasons.  Also included in loans receivable are current and delinquent installment and title loans. Loans are carried at cost less the loans receivable allowance.  The Company does not specifically reserve for any individual loan.  The Company aggregates loan types for purposes of estimating the loss allowance using a methodology that analyzes historical portfolio statistics and management’s judgment regarding recent trends noted in the portfolio.  This methodology takes into account several factors, including the maturity of the store location, and charge-off and recovery rates.rates and delinquency status of installment loans.  The Company utilizes a software program to assist with the tracking of its historical portfolio statistics.  As a result of the Company’s collection efforts, it historically writes off approximately 41% of thestatistics All returned items.  Based on days past the check return date, write-offs of returned items historically have tracked at the following approximate percentages: 1 to 30 days – 42%; 31 to 60 days – 66%; 61 to 90 days – 82%; 91 to 120 days – 87%; and 121 to 180 days – 90%.  All returnedpayday items are charged off after 180 days, as collections after that date have not been significant.  The loans receivable allowance is reviewed monthly and any adjustment to the loan loss allowance as a result of historical loan performance, current and expected collection patterns and current economic trends is recorded.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

 

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potentially dilutive common share equivalents (convertible preferred shares) when dilutive. The 10 millionAll shares of potentially dilutive Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding at March 31,June 30, 2012 and 2011 were anti-dilutive and therefore excluded from the dilutive net income (loss) per share computation.  

Segment Reporting

The Company has grouped its operations into two segments – Payday Operations and Cricket Wireless Retail Operations. The Payday Operations segment provides financial and ancillary services.

5.Risks Inherent in the Operating Environment –

 

The Company’s payday or short-term consumer loan activities are highly regulated under numerous local, state, and federal laws and regulations, which are subject to change. New laws or regulations could be enacted that could have a negative impact on the Company’s lending activities. Over the past few years, consumer advocacy groups and certain media reports have advocated governmental and regulatory action to prohibit or severely restrict deferred presentment cash advances.

 

The Federal Trade Commission has issued an FTC Consumer Alert (Federal Trade Commission, March 2008, Consumer Alert entitled “Payday Loans Equal Very Costly Cash: Consumers Urged to Consider the Alternatives”) that discourages consumers from obtaining payday loans such as the loans we offer, primarily on the basis that the types of loans we offer are very costly and consumers should consider alternatives to accepting a payday loan. For further information, you may obtain a copy of the alert at www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/alerts/alt060.shtm.  The federal government also passed legislation, the 2007 Military Authorization Act, prohibiting us from offering or making our loans to members of the military when the interest and fees calculated as an annual percentage rate exceeds 36%. This limitation effectively prohibits us from utilizing our present business model for cash advance or “payday” lending when dealing with members of the U.S. military, and as a result we do not and do not plan to conduct payday lending business with U.S. military personnel. These facts evidence the widespread belief that our charges relating to our loans are too expensive to be good for consumers. Some consumer advocates and others have characterized payday lending as “predatory.” As a result, there are frequently attempts in the various state legislatures, and occasionally in the U.S. Congress, to limit, restrict or prohibit payday lending. 

 

In July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act was passed by the U.S. Congress and signed into law. Under the Act, a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will consolidate most federal regulation of financial services offered to consumers, and replace the Office of Thrift Supervision’s seat on the FDIC Board. Almost all credit providers, including mortgage lenders, providers of payday loans, other nonbank financial companies, and banks and credit unions with assets over $10 billion, will be subject to new regulations to be passed by the Bureau. While the Bureau does not appear to have authority to make rules limiting interest rates or fees charged, the scope and extent of the Bureau’s authority will nonetheless be broad, and it is expected that the Bureau will address issues such as rollovers or extensions of payday loans and compliance with federal rules and regulations. Future restrictions on the payday lending industry could have serious consequences for the Company.

 

Any adverse change in present federal laws or regulations that govern or otherwise affect payday lending could result in our curtailment or cessation of operations in certain jurisdictions or locations. Furthermore, any failure to comply with any applicable federal laws or regulations could result in fines, litigation, the closure of one or more store locations or negative publicity. Any such change or failure would have a corresponding impact on our results of operations and financial condition, primarily through a decrease in revenues resulting from the cessation or curtailment of operations, decrease in our operating income through increased legal expenditures or fines, and could also negatively affect our general business prospects as well if we are unable to effectively replace such revenues in a timely and efficient manner or if negative publicity effects our ability to obtain additional financing a needed.

 

During the 2010 legislative session in Colorado, House Bill 10-1351 was passed into law. This bill amended the Colorado Deferred Deposit Loan Act, the existing payday lending law. The law became effective August 11, 2010 and modified traditional payday lending by changing the single payment advance (with no minimum term) into a single or multiple payment loan with a minimum six month term. It also limited the amount and type of fees that can be charged on these loans, effectively reducing by one-half the fees that can be charged and when the fees may be realized. At present, the Company continues to operate its sole store in Colorado while the impact to profitability of this new law is being assessed.

 

In May 2010, new laws were enacted in Wisconsin that restrict the number of times a consumer may renew (or rollover) a payday loan. Previously, there were no limits to the number of rollovers permitted. Effective January 1, 2011, consumers in Wisconsin are only allowed to renew a payday loan once, and then lenders are required to offer a 60-day, interest free, payment plan to consumers. As a result of these changes, we introduced an installment loan product in Wisconsin in 2011.

 

On November 2, 2010, voters in Montana passed Petition Initiative I-164. Effective January 1, 2011, Petition Initiative I-164 capped fees on payday loans at an imputed interest rate of 36%.The Company discontinued its operations in that state on December 31, 2010.

 

The passage of federal or state laws and regulations could, at any point, essentially prohibit the Company from conducting its payday lending business in its current form. Any such legal or regulatory change would certainly have a material and adverse effect on the Company, its operating results, financial condition and prospects, and perhaps even its viability.

9.10.Material Definitive Agreement –

On June 22, 2012, Western Capital Resources, Inc. (through its wholly owned subsidiary PC Doctors Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with PC Doctors, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company, Tecguard, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company, and Robert Posteluk. PC Doctors is engaged in the business of selling cellular phones, internet service, tablets, computers, accessories and computer services, and Tecguard is engaged in the business of selling protection plans for cellular phones and computers. The businesses are conducted primarily in the State of Wisconsin.

Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, Western Capital would acquire substantially all of the assets of PC Doctors and Tecguard for a purchase price of $3.20 million (subject to a working capital adjustment), plus potential additional payments aggregating $1.55 million contingent upon the earnings of the buyer subsidiary for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013. The Asset Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties respecting the business and assets of PC Doctors and Tecguard, as well as customary indemnification covenants. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement is subject to customary conditions, including the completion of a due diligence investigation by Western Capital to its reasonable satisfaction. The Asset Purchase Agreement may be terminated if, among other customary reasons, the closing has not occurred on or prior to July 22, 2013 (or such later date as the parties may agree upon).

Also on June 22, 2012, the Company entered into a non-binding term sheet with WCR, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the controlling shareholder of the company, for the provision of a short-term loan the proceeds of which would be used to satisfy the Company’s financial obligations at the closing of the transaction with PC Doctors, LLC, Tecguard, LLC and Robert Posteluk. The Company’s ability to fulfill its obligations at the closing of such transaction depends upon its ability to secure this or other available financing through the completion of definitive documentation. The non-binding term sheet outlines the material terms of the lending arrangement proposed by the parties, including a loan of up to $3.5 million in principal amount, accruing interest at the rate of 11% per annum, payable on the six-month anniversary of the loan, with a $25,000 commitment fee payable upon execution of definitive documentation. The loan would be secured by a security interest in all of the assets of the Company (subordinate to the rights of River City Equity, Inc.), and involve no financial covenants or prepayment penalties.

10.12.Management and Advisory Agreement –

The amended and restated agreement also requires the Company to pay Blackstreet a fee in an amount equal to two percent of the gross proceeds of any debt or equity financing, and a fee in an amount equal to $400,000 (plus a $60,000 increase in the management fee payable under the agreement) upon the closing of an acquisition in consideration for Blackstreet’s referral to the Company of such acquisition opportunity and assistance in the performance of due diligence services relating thereto. The Company will not, however, be obligated to accept and pursue any acquisition referrals made by Blackstreet. Finally, the amended and restated agreement provides that a termination fee will be paid to Blackstreet in the event that the Company terminates the agreement in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to, or any merger or other transaction with, an unaffiliated entity, which transaction results in the holders of a majority of the stock of the Company immediately prior to such transaction owning less than 50% of the stock of the Company (or any successor entity) after giving effect to the transaction.

General Overview

 

We provide (through Wyoming Financial Lenders, Inc.) retail financial services to individuals primarily in the Midwestern and southwesternSouthwestern United States. These services include non-recourse cash advance loans, small unsecured installment loans, check cashing and other money services. As of March 31,June 30, 2012, we operated 52 “payday” stores in nine states (Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, Wisconsin and Wyoming).  

 

We provide short-term consumer loans—known as “payday” or “cash advance” loans—in amounts that typically range from $100 to $500. PaydayCash advance loans provide customers with cash in exchange for a promissory note with a maturity of generally two to four weeks and the customer’s post-dated personal check(s)check for the aggregate amount of the cash advanced,advance, plus a fee. The fee varies from state to state based on applicable regulations, and generally ranges from $15 to $22 for each whole or partial increment of $100 borrowed. To repay the cash advance loan, a customer may pay with cash, in which case their personal check is returned to them, or allow the check to be presented to the bank for collection. Installment loans provide customers with cash in exchange for a promissory note with a maturity of generally three to six months. The fee and interest rate on installment loans vary based on applicable regulations. Like cash advance or payday loans, installment loans are unsecured. All of our payday loans, installment loans and other services are subject to state regulations (which vary from state to state), federal regulations and local regulation, where applicable.

 

We also operate (through PQH Wireless, Inc.) Cricket Wireless retail stores as an authorized dealer of Cricket Wireless products and services. Authorized dealers are permitted to sell the Cricket line and generally locate their store operations in areas with a strong potential customer base where Cricket does not maintain a corporate storefront. These locations are generally within the urban core or surrounding areas of a community. We are an authorized premier Cricket dealer, and as such, we are only permitted to sell the Cricket line of prepaid cellular phones at our Cricket retail stores. As of March 31,June 30, 2012, we operated 4850 Cricket wireless retail stores in 1314 states (Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas and Texas)Washington).

  

 

Our expenses primarily relate to the operations of our various stores.  The most significant expenses include salaries and benefits for our store employees, phones and accessories, provisions for payday loan losses and occupancy expenses for our leased real estate.  Our other significant expenses are general and administrative, which includes compensation of employees, professional fees for compliance, external reporting, audit and legal services, and management / consulting fees.

 

With respect to our cost structure, phone and accessory cost of sales and salaries and benefits are two of our largest costs and are driven primarily by the number of storefronts operated throughout the period and seasonal fluctuation in sales volumes.   Occupancy costs make up our third largest expense item.  Our provision for losses is also a significant expense.  We have experienced seasonality in our Cricket 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.

 

We evaluate our stores based on revenue growth, gross profit contributions and loss ratio (which is losses as a percentage of payday loan fees), with consideration given to the length of time the branch has been open and its geographic location.  We evaluate changes in comparable branch financial and other measures 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 annual analysis we undertook as of December 31, 2011 have been open at least 24 months on that date.  We monitor newer branches for their progress toward profitability and rate of loan growth, units sold, or payment volume.

 

The contraction of the payday loan industry has followed, and continues to be significantly affected by, payday lending legislation and regulation in the various states and nationally.  We actively monitor and evaluate legislative and regulatory initiatives in each of the states and nationally, and are involved with the efforts of the various industry lobbying efforts.  To the extent that states enact legislation or regulations that negatively impacts payday lending, whether through preclusion, fee reduction or loan caps, our business could be adversely affected.  In Nebraska, legislation was introduced in 2008 (but did not advance) to ban all cash advance or payday loans in Nebraska.  Despite the defeat of this legislation, since we derived approximately 28% of our 2011 and 26% of our year-to-date 2012 total payday revenues in Nebraska, any subsequent attempts to pass similar legislation in Nebraska, or other legislation that would restrict our ability to make cash advance loans in Nebraska, would pose significant risks to our business.

 

In an effort to expand our geographic reach, our strategic expansion plans involve the expansion and diversification of our product and service offerings.  For this reason, we have focused, and willexpect to continue to focus, a significant amount of time and resources on the development of our Cricket Wireless retail stores.  In an effort to expand our product and service offerings within the Payday division we intend to introduce pawn stores into a limited number of existing payday locations. We believe that successful expansion, both geographically and product- and service-wise, will help to mitigate the regulatory and economic risk inherent in our business by making us less reliant on (i) cash advance lending alone and (ii) any particular aspect of our business that is concentrated geographically.

 

Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applied on a consistent basis.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  We evaluate these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis.  We base these estimates on the information currently available to us and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results could vary materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation, Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.  We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Loans Receivable Allowance

 

We maintain a loan loss allowance for anticipated losses for our payday, installment and title loans. To estimate the appropriate level of the loan loss allowance, we consider the amount of outstanding loans owed to us, historical loans charged off, current and expected collection patterns and current economic trends. Our current payday loan loss allowance is based on our net write offs, typically expressed as a percentage of loan amounts originated for the last 24 months applied against the principal balance of outstanding loans that we write off. Our current installment loan loss allowance also factors in the delinquency status of loans within the installment loan portfolio. We also periodically perform a look-back analysis on its loan loss allowance to verify that the historical allowance established tracks with the actual subsequent loan write-offs and recoveries. We are aware that, as conditions change, we may also need to make additional allowances in future periods.

 

Included in loans receivable are cash advance loans that are currently due or past due and cash advance loans that have not been repaid.  This generally is evidenced where a customer’s personal check has been deposited and the check has been returned due to non-sufficient funds in the customer’s account, a closed account, or other reasons.  Also included in loans receivable are current and delinquent installment and title loans. Loans are carried at cost less the loans receivable allowance.  The Company does not specifically reserve for any individual loan.  The Company aggregates loans for purposes of estimating the allowance using a methodology that analyzes historical portfolio statistics and management’s judgment regarding recent trends noted in the portfolio.  This methodology takes into account several factors, including the maturity of the store location, and charge-off and recovery rates.rates, and delinquency status of installment loans.  The Company utilizes a software program to assist with the tracking of its historical portfolio statistics.  As a result of the Company’s collection efforts, it historically writes off approximately 41%42% of the returned items.  Based on days past the check return date, write-offs of returned items historically have tracked at the following approximate percentages: 1 to 30 days – 42%; 31 to 60 days – 66%; 61 to 90 days – 82%83%; 91 to 120 days – 87%; and 121 to 180 days – 90%.  All returned payday items are charged off after 180 days, as collections after that date have not been significant.  The loan loss allowance is reviewed monthly and any adjustment to the loan loss allowance as a result of historical loan performance, current and expected collection patterns and current economic trends is recorded.

 

A rollforward of the Company’s loans receivable allowance for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

Valuation of Long-lived and Intangible Assets

 

The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived and intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable; goodwill is analyzed on an annual basis. Factors that could trigger an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future cash flows, significant changes in the manner of use of acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business, and significant negative industry trends. When management determines that the carrying value of long-lived and intangible assets may not be recoverable, impairment is measured based on the excess of the assets’ carrying value over the estimated fair value.

Overall, our most significant store expenses for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2012 and 2011 related to phone and accessory costs, salaries and benefits for our store employees, occupancy costs and provision for loan losses. A discussion and analysis of the various components of our store expenses appears below.

 

Salaries and Benefits. Payroll and related costs at the store level were $1.61 million compared to $1.03 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Phone and Accessories Cost of Sales. For the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2012, our costs of sales were $1.84$1.10 million compared to $.96$.43 million for the same period in 2011. The increase in our Cricket Wireless segment phone and accessory costs resulted from operating additional storefronts in 2012 and from a change in the structure of dealer compensation from Cricket, which change decreased our margins while increasing fees to dealers.

 

Salaries and Benefits. Payroll and related costs at theOccupancy Costs. Occupancy expenses, consisting mainly of store levelleases, were $1.69 million compared to $1.11$.56 million for the three-month periodsthree months ended March 31,June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Year over year, we operated one additional payday store and 17 additional Cricket storefronts.versus $.40 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

 

Provisions for Loan Losses.

Our provisions for loan losses represented approximately 12.0%13.8% and 7.7%12.2% of our loan fee revenue for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase can be attributed to our introduction of an installment loan product in Wisconsin, which has higher defaultloss rates than payday loans. Due to ourthe inability to foretell the scope and duration of the current economic recovery, we believe there are currently uncertaintiesexists uncertainty in how significant our total 2012 loan losses may or may not be and how they may differ from 2011.

Occupancy Costs. Occupancy expenses, consisting mainly of store leases, were $.55 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 versus $.42 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

 

Advertising. Advertising and marketing expenses remained consistent at $.08 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2012 and 2011.

The major components of these expenses are salaries and benefits for our store employees, provision for loan losses, costs of sales for phones and accessories, occupancy costs relating to our store leaseholds, advertising expenses, depreciation of store equipment and leasehold improvements, amortization of intangible assets and other expenses associated with store operations.

Overall, our most significant store expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 related to phone and accessory costs, salaries and benefits for our store employees, occupancy costs and provision for loan losses. A discussion and analysis of the various components of our store expenses appears below.

Salaries and Benefits. Payroll and related costs at the store level were $3.29 million compared to $2.15 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively

Phone and Accessories Cost of Sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, our costs of sales were $2.93 million compared to $1.39 million for the same period in 2011. The increase in our Cricket Wireless segment phone and accessory costs resulted from operating additional storefronts in 2012 and from a change in the structure of dealer compensation from Cricket, which change decreased our margins while increasing fees to dealers.

Occupancy Costs. Occupancy expenses, consisting mainly of store leases, were $1.11 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 versus $.81 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Provisions for Loan Losses. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, our provisions for loan losses were $.63 million compared to $.45 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Our provisions for loan losses represented approximately 12.4% and 9.8% of our loan fee revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase can be attributed to our introduction of an installment loan product which has higher default rates than payday loans. Due to the inability to foretell the scope and duration of the current economic recovery, there exists uncertainty in how significant our total 2012 loan losses may or may not be and how they may differ from 2011.

Advertising. Advertising and marketing expenses remained consistent at $.16 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. In general, we expect that our marketing and advertising expenses for 2012 will remain consistent.

Depreciation. Depreciation, relating to store equipment and leasehold improvements, increased to $.14 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $.13 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets decreased from $.23 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $.17 million for the six month ended June 30, 2012.

Other Store Expenses. Other expenses increased to $1.52 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $1.12 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Total general and administrative costs for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $1.68 million compared to $1.53 million for the period ended June 30, 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the major components of these costs were salaries and benefits for our corporate headquarters operations and executive management, interest expense, and other general and administrative expenses. A discussion and analysis of the various components of our general and administrative costs appears below:

Salaries and Benefits. Salaries and benefits expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $.96 million, a $.11 million increase from the $.85 million in such expenses during period ended June 30, 2011

Interest. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $.13 million compared to $.16 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Income Tax Expense

 

Income tax expense for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2012 was $.50$.72 million compared to income tax expense of $.26$.42 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2011, an effective rate of 39% and 38%, respectively.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Summary cash flow data is as follows:

 

 Three Months Ended March 31,  Six Months Ended June 30, 
 2012 2011  2012  2011 
          
Cash flows provided (used) by:                
Operating activities $2,240,883  $1,065,420  $1,883,075  $680,739 
Investing activities  (377,257)  (13,574)  (575,803)  (84,123)
Financing activities  (1,286,234)  (1,172,162)  (1,454,010)  (1,363,759)
Net increase (decrease) in cash  577,392   (120,316)  (146,738)  (767,143)
Cash, beginning of period  1,909,442   2,092,386   1,909,442   2,092,386 
Cash, end of period $2,486,834  $1,972,070  $1,762,704  $1,325,243 

 

At March 31,June 30, 2012, we had cash of $2.49$1.76 million compared to cash of $1.91$1.33 million on December 31, 2011. We believe that our available cash, combined with expected cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our liquidity and capital expenditure requirements through March 31,June 30, 2013. Our expected short-term uses of available cash include the funding of operating activities (including anticipated increases in payday loans), the financing of expansion activities, including new store openings or store acquisitions and the repayment of long-term debt.

 

Because of the constant threat of regulatory changes to the payday lending industry, we believe it will be difficult for us to obtain debt financing from traditional financial institutions. Financing we may obtain from alternate sources is likely to involve higher interest rates.

 

On October 18, 2011, we entered into a borrowing arrangement with River City Equity, Inc. and delivered a related long-term promissory note in favor of River City Equity. The borrowing arrangement allows us to borrow up to $2,000,000 at an interest rate of 12% per annum, with interest payable on a monthly basis. The note matures on September 30, 2013, on which date all unpaid principal and accrued but unpaid interest thereon is due and payable. The note includes a prepayment penalty and, under certain circumstances, permits River City Equity to obtain a security interest in all of the Company’s assets. As of March 31,June 30, 2012, $1,200,000 had been advanced under this arrangement.

Our overall cash and liquidity position has been significantly enhanced by the past and current willingness of the holders of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to not insist that the Company pay dividends to those stockholders to the greatest extent permitted by Minnesota state law. Minnesota state law providesindicates that a corporation can only pay a dividend in circumstances where the corporation will be able to pay its debts in the ordinary course of business after making the dividend. If our preferred shareholders were to insist that the Company pay dividends to the greatest extent permitted by state law (as required by the terms of the preferred stock), our liquidity position would likely be negatively affected, perhaps materially, such that we would be required to arrange for or engage in additional borrowing to ensure that we would have capital available to fund cash advance loans and otherwise.

 

On June 22, 2012, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with PC Doctors and Tecguard for a purchase price of $3.2 million. To fund this acquisition, the Company has entered into a non-binding term sheet with WCR, LLC, the controlling shareholder of the Company, for the provision of a short-term loan the proceeds of which would be used to satisfy the Company’s financial obligations at the closing of the transaction with PC Doctors, LLC and Tecguard, LLC. The Company intends to pay off this short-term financing with proceeds from a proposed rights offering in connection with which the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC on June 18, 2012 and amended the registration statement by filing Form S-1/A on July 26, 2012.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements  

 

The Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31,June 30, 2012.
