NOTES TO INTERIM UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are of DFC Global Corp. (“DFC”) and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries (collectively with DFC, the “Company”). DFC is the parent company of Dollar Financial Group, Inc. (“DFG”). The activities of DFC consist primarily of its investment in DFG. DFC has no employees or operating activities. The Company’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements in DFC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (File No. 000-50866) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 29, 2011. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year.

DFC Global Corp. is a Delaware corporation formed in 1990. Prior to August 2011, the Company’s corporate name was “Dollar Financial Corp.”. The Company, through its subsidiaries, provides retail financial services to the general public through a network of 1,324 locations (of which 1,259 are company owned) operating principally as Money Mart ^® , The Money Shop ^® , Insta-Cheques ^® , Suttons and Robertson ^® , The Check Cashing Store ^® , Sefina ^® , Helsingin Pantti ^SM and MoneyNow! ^® in Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, Poland, the Republic of Ireland, Sweden and Finland. This network of stores offers a variety of financial services including consumer loans, pawn services, gold buying, check cashing, money transfer services and various other related services. The Company also offers Internet-based short-term consumer loans in the United Kingdom primarily under the brand names Payday Express ^® and Payday UK ^® , in Canada under the Money Mart and paydayloan.ca brand names, and in Finland and Sweden primarily under the Risicum ^® and OK Money ^® brand names. In the United Kingdom, the Company also operates a merchant cash advance business, under the brand name mce ^® , that primarily provides working capital to small retail businesses by providing cash advances against a future receivable calculated as a percentage of future credit card receipts. In addition, the Company provides financial services to primarily unbanked and underbanked consumers in Poland through in-home servicing under the trade name Optima ^® . Through its Dealers’ Financial Services, LLC (“DFS”) subsidiary, the Company provides fee based services to enlisted military personnel seeking to purchase new and used vehicles who make applications for auto loans that are funded and serviced under an agreement with a major third-party national bank based in the United States.

The Company’s common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “DLLR”.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, loss reserves, valuation allowance for income taxes, litigation reserves and impairment assessment of goodwill and other intangible assets. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on net income or stockholders’ equity.

DFC GLOBAL CORP.

NOTES TO INTERIM UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Revenue Recognition

With respect to company-operated stores, revenues from the Company’s check cashing, money order sales, money transfer and other miscellaneous services reported in other revenues on its statement of operations are all recognized when the transactions are completed at the point-of-sale in the store.

With respect to the Company’s franchised locations, the Company recognizes initial franchise fees upon fulfillment of all significant obligations to the franchisee. Royalties from franchisees are recognized as earned. The Company’s standard franchise agreement forms grant to the franchisee the right to develop and operate a store and use the associated trade names, trademarks, and service marks within the standards and guidelines established by the Company. As part of the franchise agreement, the Company provides certain pre-opening assistance and after the franchised location has opened, the Company also provides updates to the software, samples of certain advertising and promotional materials and other post-opening assistance.

For single-payment consumer loans, which have terms ranging from 1 to 45 days, revenues are recognized using the interest method. Loan origination fees are recognized as an adjustment to the yield on the related loan. The Company’s reserve policy regarding these loans is summarized below in “Consumer Loan Loss Reserves Policy.”

Secured pawn loans are offered at most of the Company’s retail financial services locations in the United Kingdom and at the Company’s stand-alone pawn shops in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Finland and Poland. Pawn loans are short-term in nature and are secured by the customer’s personal property (“pledge”). At the time of pledge, the loan is recorded and interest and fees, net of costs are accrued for over the life of the loan. If the loan is not repaid, the collateral is deemed forfeited and the pawned item will, in most markets, go up for auction. If the item is sold, proceeds are used to recover the loan value, interest accrued and fees. Generally, excess funds received from the sale are repaid to the customer. As with the Company’s single-payment consumer loans, revenues are recognized using the interest rate method and loan origination fees, net, are recognized as an adjustment to the yield on the related loan.

DFS fee income associated with originated loan contracts is recognized as revenue by the Company concurrent with the funding of loans by the third party lending financial institution. The Company also earns additional fee income from sales of service agreement and guaranteed asset protection (“GAP”) insurance contracts. DFS may be charged back (“chargebacks”) for service agreement and GAP fees in the event contracts are prepaid, defaulted or terminated. Service agreement and GAP contract fees are recorded at the time the contracts are sold and a reserve for future chargebacks is established based on historical operating results and the termination provisions of the applicable contracts. Service warranty and GAP contract fees, net of estimated chargebacks, are included in Other revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Consumer Loans, Net

Unsecured short-term and longer-term installment loans that the Company originates are reflected on the balance sheet in Consumer loans, net. Consumer loans, net are reported net of a reserve as described below in “Consumer Loan Loss Reserves Policy”.

Loans in Default

Loans in default consist of short-term consumer loans which are in default status. An allowance for the defaulted loans receivable is established and is included in the loan loss provisions in the period that the loan is placed in default status. The reserve is reviewed monthly and any additional provision to the loan loss reserve as a result of historical loan performance, current and expected collection patterns and current economic trends is included with the Company’s loan loss provisions. Generally, if the loans remain in a defaulted status for an extended period of time, an allowance for the entire amount of the loan is recorded and the receivable is ultimately charged off.

Consumer Loan Loss Reserves Policy

The Company maintains a loan loss reserve for anticipated losses for consumer loans that the Company originates. To estimate the appropriate level of loan loss reserves, the Company considers known relevant internal and external factors that affect loan collectability, including the amount of outstanding loans owed to the Company, historical loans charged off, current collection patterns and current economic trends. The Company’s current loan loss reserve is based on its net charge-offs, typically expressed as a percentage of loan amounts originated for the last twelve months applied against the balance of outstanding loans. As these conditions change, the Company may need to make additional allowances in future periods.

Generally, when a loan is originated, the customer receives the cash proceeds in exchange for a post-dated check or a written authorization to initiate a charge to the customer’s bank account on the stated maturity date of the loan. If the check or the debit to the customer’s account is returned from the bank unpaid, the loan is placed in default status and an allowance for this defaulted loan

DFC GLOBAL CORP.

NOTES TO INTERIM UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

receivable is established and is included in loan loss provision expense in the period that the loan is placed in default status. This reserve is reviewed monthly and any additional provision to the loan loss reserve as a result of historical loan performance, current collection patterns and current economic trends is included in loan loss provision expense. If a loan remains in defaulted status for an extended period of time, typically 180 days, an allowance for the entire amount of the loan is recorded and the receivable is ultimately charged off. Recoveries on loans that were completely charged off are credited to the allowance when collected.

The Company does not maintain a loan loss reserve for potential future losses on pawn loans. Pawn loans are secured by the customer’s pledged item, which is generally 50% to 80% of the appraised fair value of the pledged item, thus reducing the Company’s exposure to losses on defaulted pawn loans. The Company’s historical redemption rate on pawn loans is in excess of 85%, which means that for more than 85% of its pawn loans, the customer pays back the amount borrowed, plus interest and fees, and the Company returns the pledged item to the customer. In the instance where the customer defaults on a pawn loan (fails to redeem), the pledged item is either sold at auction or sold to a third party in the Company’s retail stores after the customer default. Except in very isolated instances, the amount received at auction or in the Company’s store is in excess of the original loan principal plus accrued interest and fees. Generally, excess amounts received over and above the Company’s recorded asset value and any related administrative costs and fees are returned to the customer.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the 2.875% Senior Convertible Notes due 2027 issued by DFC (the “2027 Notes”), the 3.00% Senior Convertible Notes due 2028 issued by DFC (the “2028 Notes”) and the 10.375% Senior Notes due 2016 issued by the Company’s Canadian subsidiary, National Money Mart Company (the “2016 Notes”), are based on broker quotations.

The total fair value of the 2027 Notes and the 2028 Notes were approximately $42.1 million and $154.5 million, respectively, at June 30, 2011. The total fair value of the 2027 Notes and the 2028 Notes were approximately $48.3 million and $138.0 million, respectively, at December 31, 2011. These fair values relate to the face value of the 2027 Notes and the 2028 Notes, and not the carrying value recorded on the Company’s balance sheet. The fair value of the 2016 Notes was approximately $658.5 million and $640.5 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

The outstanding borrowings under the Company’s Global Revolving Credit Facility and Scandinavian Credit Facilities are variable interest debt instruments and their fair value approximates their carrying value.

The Company’s other financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents and derivatives, consumer loans and pawn loans, which are short-term in nature and their fair value approximates their carrying value net of allowance for loan loss.

Common Stock

On December 14, 2011, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a stock repurchase plan, authorizing the Company to repurchase in the aggregate up to five million shares of its outstanding common stock. As of December 31, 2011, no shares of the Company’s common stock have been repurchased under the plan.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income/loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income/loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, after adjusting for the dilutive effect of stock options restricted stock and restricted stock units. The following table presents the reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in millions):

Stock Based Employee Compensation

The DFC Global Corp. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”), after giving effect for DFC’s three for two stock split for stockholders of record on January 20, 2011, states that 2,578,043 shares of DFC’s common stock may be awarded to employees or consultants of DFC. The awards may be issued at the discretion of DFC’s Board of Directors as nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options or restricted stock awards. The number of shares issued under the 2005 Plan is subject to adjustment as specified in the 2005 Plan provisions. No options may be granted under the 2005 Plan after January 24, 2015.

On November 15, 2007, the Company’s stockholders adopted the DFC Global Corp. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”). The 2007 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock unit awards and performance awards (collectively, the “Awards”) to non-employee members of DFC’s Board of Directors and officers, employees, independent consultants and contractors of DFC and any subsidiary of DFC. On November 11, 2010, DFC’s stockholders approved an amendment to the 2007 Plan. Under the terms of the amendment, the maximum aggregate number of shares of DFC’s common stock that may be issued pursuant to Awards granted under the 2007 Plan is 10,500,000, after giving effect for DFC’s three for two stock split for stockholders of record as of January 20, 2011; provided, however, that 1.67 shares will be deducted from the number of shares available for grant under the 2007 Plan for each share that underlies an Award granted under the 2007 Plan on or after November 11, 2010 for restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards or other Awards for which the full value of such share is transferred by DFC to the award recipient. The shares that may be issued under the 2007 Plan may be authorized, but unissued or reacquired shares of DFC’s common stock. No grantee may receive an Award relating to more than 750,000 shares in the aggregate per fiscal year under the 2007 Plan.

Stock options and stock appreciation rights granted under the aforementioned plans have an exercise price equal to the closing price of DFC’s common stock on the date of grant. To date no stock appreciation rights have been granted.

Compensation expense related to share-based compensation included in the statement of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2011 was $1.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively, net of related tax and $2.6 million and $3.3 million, respectively, net of related tax effects for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

Weighted average fair value	$	8.36		$	9.05		$	8.23		$	10.36

A summary of the status of stock option activity for the six months ended December 31, 2011 follows:


	Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value ($ in millions)
Options outstanding at June 30, 2011 (2,044,088 shares exercisable)		2,772,445		$	11.28		6.7	$	28.8

Exercisable at December 31, 2011		2,206,279		$	10.61		5.7	$	16.7

The aggregate intrinsic value in the above table reflects the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between closing stock price of DFC’s common stock on the last trading day of the period and the exercise price of the options, multiplied by the number of in-the-money stock options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on December 31, 2011. The intrinsic value of DFC’s common stock options changes based on the closing price of DFC’s common stock. The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011 was $0.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, the total unrecognized compensation cost over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years, related to stock options, is expected to be $6.0 million. Cash received from stock options exercised for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011 was $1.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

Restricted stock awards granted under the 2005 Plan and 2007 Plan become vested (i) upon the Company attaining certain annual pre-tax earnings targets (“performance-based”), and (ii) after a designated period of time (“time-based”), which is generally three years. Compensation expense is recorded ratably over the requisite service period based upon an estimate of the likelihood of achieving the performance goals. Compensation expense related to restricted stock awards is measured based on the fair value using the closing market price of DFC’s common stock on the date of the grant.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, Receivables — Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses . ASU 2010-20 amends Topic 310 to improve the disclosures that an entity provides about the credit quality of its financing receivables and the related allowance for credit losses. As a result of these amendments, an entity is required to disaggregate by portfolio segment or class certain existing disclosures and provide new disclosures about its financing receivables and related allowance for credit losses. These provisions are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted ASU 2010-20 for its quarter ending December 31, 2010. ASU 2010-20 concerns disclosures only and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805) — Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations . This standard update clarifies that, when presenting comparative financial statements, SEC registrants should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the current period business combinations had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The update also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. ASU 2010-29 is effective prospectively for material (either on an individual or aggregate basis) business combinations entered into in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2010 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2010-29 on July 1, 2011. ASU 2010-29 concerns disclosures only and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The provisions of ASU 2011-04 are effective for public entities prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not believe ASU 2011-04 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) — Presentation of Comprehensive Income . This standard update amends Topic 220 to require entities to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. These provisions are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively. ASU 2011-05 concerns disclosures only and will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) — Testing Goodwill for Impairment . This standard update amends Topic 350 to give entities the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step impairment test. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. Since ASU 2011-08 only impacts whether or not to perform the two-step impairment test, it will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

2.	Financing Receivables

The Company offers a variety of short-term loan products and credit services to customers who typically cannot access other traditional sources of credit and have non-traditional loan histories. Accordingly, the Company has implemented proprietary predictive scoring models that are designed to limit the amount of loans it offers to customers who statistically would likely be unable to repay their loan. The Company has instituted control mechanisms and a credit analytics function to manage risk in its consumer loan activities. Collection activities are also an important aspect of the Company’s operations, particularly with respect to its consumer loan products due to the relatively high incidence of unpaid balances beyond stated terms. The Company operates centralized collection centers to coordinate a consistent approach to customer service and collections in each of its markets. The Company’s risk control mechanisms include, among others, the daily monitoring of initial return rates with respect to payments made on its consumer loan portfolio. Because the Company’s revenue from its consumer lending activities is generated through a high volume of small-dollar financial transactions, its exposure to loss from a single customer transaction is minimal.

The following reflects the credit quality of the Company’s loans receivable. Generally, loans are determined to be nonperforming when they are one day past due without a payment for short term consumer loans and one hundred eighty days past due without a payment for longer-term (less than one year) installment loans:

3.	Acquisitions

The following acquisitions have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.

On December 31, 2010, the Company’s wholly owned U.K. subsidiary, Dollar Financial U.K. Ltd., acquired Sefina Finance AB (“Sefina”), a Scandinavian pawn lending business with its headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden. Sefina provides pawn loans primarily secured by gold jewelry, diamonds and watches through 16 retail store locations in Sweden and 12 retail store locations in Finland. The total cash consideration for the acquisition is estimated to be approximately $90.6 million, of which approximately $59.1 million was cash paid at closing. Approximately $14.9 million of additional cash was paid by the Company to the seller in three equal installments on March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011. Furthermore, the Company is obligated to pay the seller additional contingent consideration based on the financial performance of Sefina during each of the two successive 12 month periods following the closing of the acquisition, the aggregate amount of which the Company estimated at the time of acquisition to be approximately $16.6 million. All future payments have been recorded as liabilities on the balance sheet of the acquiring U.K. entity. In connection with the acquisition, the Company also incurred transaction costs of approximately $1.0 million.

Of the aggregate purchase price for Sefina, $14.5 million was allocated to net tangible assets acquired and $0.3 million was allocated to indefinite-lived intangible assets acquired. The remaining purchase price was allocated to goodwill.

On April 1, 2011, the Company’s wholly owned U.K. subsidiary, Dollar Financial U.K. Ltd., acquired Purpose U.K. Holdings Limited (“Purpose U.K.”), a leading provider of online short-term loans in the United Kingdom. Purpose U.K. Holdings Limited, which operates primarily under the brand name “Payday U.K.”, provides loans through both Internet and telephony-based technologies throughout the United Kingdom. The total cash consideration for the acquisition was approximately $195.0 million. In connection with the acquisition, the Company also incurred transaction costs of approximately $3.7 million.

Under the purchase method of accounting, the total estimated purchase price is allocated to Purpose U.K.’s net tangible and intangible assets based on their current estimated fair values. Management’s valuation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, is based on estimates and assumptions subject to the finalization of the Company’s fair value allocation. The purchase price, subject to the finalization of the fair value allocation, is allocated as follows (in millions):


Cash	$	8.3
Consumer loans		33.3
Prepaid expenses and other current assets		0.7
Property and equipment		2.1
Accounts payable		(1.2	)
Accrued expenses and other liabilities		(2.5	)
Other non-current liabilities		(21.1	)

Net tangible assets acquired		19.6
Definite-lived intangible assets acquired		56.3
Indefinite-lived intangible assets acquired		3.3
Goodwill		115.8

Total purchase price	$	195.0

Prior to the end of the measurement period for finalizing the purchase price allocation, if information becomes available which would indicate adjustments are required to the purchase price allocation, such adjustments will be included in the purchase price allocation retrospectively.

Of the total estimated purchase price for Purpose U.K., an estimate of $19.6 million has been allocated to net tangible assets acquired, $56.3 million has been allocated to definite-lived intangible assets and $3.3 million has been allocated to indefinite-lived intangible assets acquired. The remaining purchase price has been allocated to goodwill.

During fiscal 2011, the Company completed the acquisitions of the assets of three Canadian franchisees with 40 stores for an aggregate purchase price of $39.6 million that resulted in an increase in goodwill of $29.0 million, calculated as the excess purchase price over the preliminary fair value of the identifiable assets acquired. The Company also purchased five stores in the United Kingdom during fiscal 2011 that resulted in an aggregate increase in goodwill of $0.5 million. Also during fiscal 2011, $13.5 million of purchase accounting adjustments related to contingent consideration payments were made with respect to the Express Finance Limited acquisition. These payments are treated as adjustments to purchase price and are accordingly recognized as goodwill.

NOTES TO INTERIM UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

On July 6, 2011, the Company acquired Risicum Oyj (“Risicum”), a provider of Internet loans in Finland with headquarters in Helsinki, Finland. Risicum, which was established in 2005, provides loans predominately in Finland through both Internet and mobile phone technology, utilizing multiple brands to target specific customer demographics. Risicum also provides Internet and telephony-based loans in Sweden. The total cash consideration for the acquisition was approximately $46.5 million. The Company also incurred transaction costs of approximately $0.9 million.

Under the purchase method of accounting, the total estimated purchase price is allocated to Risicum’s net tangible and intangible assets based on their current estimated fair values. Management’s valuation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, is based on estimates and assumptions subject to the finalization of the Company’s fair value allocation. The purchase price, subject to the finalization of the fair value allocation, is allocated as follows (in millions):


Cash	$	2.0
Consumer loans		21.0
Prepaid expenses and other current assets		2.1
Property and equipment		0.2

Other non-current liabilities		(1.3	)

Net tangible assets acquired		19.5
Definite-lived intangible assets acquired		6.7
Goodwill		20.3

Total purchase price	$	46.5

Of the total estimated purchase price for Risicum, an estimate of $19.5 million has been allocated to net tangible assets acquired, and $6.7 million has been allocated to definite-lived intangible assets. The remaining purchase price has been allocated to goodwill.

During fiscal 2012, the Company completed various smaller acquisitions, primarily of franchisees, in the United Kingdom and Canada that resulted in aggregate increase in goodwill of $5.2 million, calculated as the excess purchase price over the preliminary fair value of the identifiable assets acquired.

One of the core strategies of the Company is to capitalize on its competitive strengths and enhance its leading marketing positions. One of the key elements in the Company’s strategy is the intention to grow its network through acquisitions. The Company believes that acquisitions provide it with increased market penetration, or in some cases the opportunity to enter new platforms and geographies with de novo expansion following thereafter. The purchase price of each acquisition is primarily based on a multiple of historical earnings. The Company’s standard business model, and that of its industry, is one that does not rely heavily on tangible assets and therefore, it is common to have majority of the purchase price allocated to goodwill, or in some cases, intangible assets.

The following reflects the change in goodwill during the periods presented (in millions):

Goodwill is the excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets of the business acquired.

Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis on June 30 or between annual tests if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. As of June 30, 2011, there was no impairment of goodwill.

Other indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of reacquired franchise rights, DFS’ MILES program brand name and the Sefina and Purpose U.K. trade names, which are deemed to have an indefinite useful life and are not amortized. Non-amortizable intangibles with indefinite lives are tested for impairment annually as of December 31, or whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying amount of the intangible assets with indefinite lives, then an impairment charge would be recognized to reduce the asset to its estimated fair value. As of December 31, 2011, there was no impairment of other indefinite-lived intangible assets. As prescribed under ASC 805, beginning with franchisee acquisitions consummated in fiscal 2010 or later, reacquired franchise rights are no longer considered indefinite-lived; rather they are amortized over the remaining contractual life of the franchise agreement.

The fair value of the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets is estimated based upon a present value technique using discounted future cash flows (the “relief from royalty” method). The fair value of the Company’s operating segments is estimated based upon a present value technique using discounted future cash flows or a market-based approach, or a combination thereof. The Company uses management business plans and projections as the basis for expected future cash flows. Assumptions in estimating future cash flows are subject to a high degree of judgment. The Company makes every effort to forecast its future cash flows as accurately as possible at the time the forecast is developed. However, changes in assumptions and estimates may affect the implied fair value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and could result in an impairment charge in future periods.

The Company recently initiated a management plan to improve the performance of the DFS business, including the addition of another lender for certain of the loans originated by DFS. The attainment of the forecasted business plan and projections related to the DFS MILES program is in part dependent on the success of the management plan to both a) expand the MILES program through its existing channels and b) introduce the MILES program to other branches of the military and military-related organizations. If these initiatives do not achieve the results anticipated, it is reasonably possible that there could be future impairment of the DFS MILES program indefinite-lived intangible asset and goodwill related to the DFS business unit.

Amortization expense of intangible assets was $1.5 million and $4.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively. Amortization expense of intangible assets was $3.0 million and $9.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

On June 27, 2007, DFC issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.875% Senior Convertible Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”).

In December 2009, DFC entered into privately negotiated exchange agreements with certain holders of its 2027 Notes, pursuant to which such holders exchanged an aggregate of $120.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes for an equal aggregate principal amount of 3.0% Senior Convertible Notes due 2028 issued by DFC (the “2028 Notes” and, together with the 2027 Notes, the “Convertible Notes”).

In February 2010, DFC repurchased $35.2 million aggregate principal amount of the remaining outstanding 2027 Notes in privately negotiated transactions with three of the holders of the 2027 Notes. The purchase price paid by DFC in the transactions was 91% of the stated principal amount of the repurchased 2027 Notes, for an aggregate price of $32.0 million. As a result of the repurchase and privately negotiated exchange transactions, $44.8 million and $120.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2027 Notes and 2028 Notes, respectively, remained outstanding as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2011.

The Convertible Notes are general unsecured obligations of DFC and rank equally in right of payment with all of its other existing and future obligations that are unsecured and unsubordinated. The 2027 Notes bear interest at the rate of 2.875% per year, payable in cash in arrears on June 30 and December 31 of each year beginning on December 31, 2007, and will mature on June 30, 2027, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The 2028 Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.00% per annum, payable in cash in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year beginning on April 1, 2010, and will mature on April 1, 2028, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased.

Global Revolving Credit Facility

On March 3, 2011, the Company replaced its existing credit facility with a new senior secured credit facility with a syndicate of lenders, the administrative agent for which is Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. The new facility consists of a $200.0 million global revolving credit facility (the “Global Revolving Credit Facility”), with the potential to further increase the Company’s available borrowings under the facility to $250.0 million. Availability under the Global Revolving Credit Facility is based on a borrowing base comprised of cash and consumer receivables in the Company’s U.S. and Canadian operations, and its U.K.-based retail operations, and its U.K.-based pawn loan receivables. There is a sublimit for borrowings in the United States based on the lesser of the U.S. borrowing base under the Global Revolving Credit Facility or $75 million.

Borrowings under the Global Revolving Credit Facility may be denominated in United States Dollars, British Pounds Sterling, Euros or Canadian Dollars, as well as any other currency as may be approved by the lenders. Interest on borrowings under the Global Revolving Credit Facility is derived from a pricing grid primarily based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, which currently allows borrowing at an interest rate equal to the applicable London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or Canadian Dollar Offer Rate (based on the currency of borrowing) plus 400 basis points, or in the case of borrowings in U.S. Dollars only, at an alternate base rate which is the greater of the prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1%, plus 300 basis points. The Global Revolving Credit Facility will mature on March 1, 2015.

On December 23, 2011, the Company, along with certain of its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into an amendment to the Global Revolving Credit Facility which increases the Company’s flexibility with respect to business operations, transactions and reporting.

As of December 31, 2011, there was $154.3 million outstanding under the Global Revolving Credit Facility.

Scandinavian Credit Facilities

As a result of the December 2010 acquisition of Sefina, the Company assumed borrowings under Sefina’s existing credit facilities. The loans are secured primarily by the value of Sefina’s pawn pledge stock. The borrowings consist of a working capital facility consisting of two loans of SEK 185 million and SEK 55 million ($34.9 million at December 31, 2011). These loans are due July 2013 and December 2015, respectively, at an interest rate of the lender’s borrowing rate plus 160 basis points (4.68% at December 31, 2011). Also with the same Scandinavian bank, the Company assumed an overdraft facility due December 31, 2011 with a commitment of up to SEK 85 million. In December 2011, this overdraft facility was extended to December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2011, SEK 20.0 million ($2.9 million) was outstanding at the lender’s borrowing rate plus 170 basis points (4.78%). The Company also assumed a Euro overdraft facility with another Scandinavian bank maturing in April 2012 with a commitment of up to EUR 17.5 million, of which EUR 16.0 million ($20.8 million) was outstanding as of December 31, 2011 at a rate of Euribor plus 195 basis points (2.59%).

Interest Expense

Interest expense, net was $21.9 million and $24.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, interest expense, net was $43.5 million and $48.7 million, respectively. Included in interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011 is approximately $4.6 million and $5.1 million, respectively, and for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011 is approximately $9.1 million and $10.2 million, respectively, of non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of accumulated charges related to the discontinuance of hedge accounting for the Company’s Canadian cross currency interest rate swaps, the non-cash interest expense associated with the Convertible Notes and the amortization of various deferred issuance costs. This non-cash interest expense was approximately $2.1 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, the non-cash interest expense was approximately $4.1 million and $4.5 million, respectively.

A full description of the terms of the Company’s indebtedness and related requirements is contained in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

6.	Fair Value Measurements

The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB Codification establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between observable and unobservable market participant assumptions. Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Currently, the Company uses foreign currency options and cross currency interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate and foreign currency risk and gold collars to manage its exposure to variability in gold prices. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, gold forward curves and implied volatilities. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of December 31, 2011, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

During fiscal 2011, the Company recorded a liability for contingent consideration of $16.6 million arising from the acquisition of Sefina which is payable over two years. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined at the acquisition date using a probability weighted income approach based on the net present value of estimated payments and is re-measured in each reporting period. The contingent consideration was classified within Level 3 as management assumptions for the valuation included discount rates and estimated probabilities of achievement of pre-tax income levels which are unobservable in the market. Changes in fair value of the contingent consideration are recorded in other operating expenses. As of December 31, 2011, the balance of the contingent consideration was $16.2 million.

The table below presents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2011, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall.

7.	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and by the use of derivative financial instruments. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk and commodity price risk. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates, foreign exchange rates or commodity prices.

Certain parts of the Company’s operations in Canada and Europe expose the Company to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s goal is to reduce its exposure to such foreign exchange risks on its foreign currency cash flows and fair value fluctuations on recognized foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and unrecognized firm commitments to acceptable levels primarily through the use of foreign exchange-related derivative financial instruments. From time to time, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to protect the value or fix the amount of certain obligations in terms of its functional currency, the U.S. dollar.

The Company maintains gold inventory in quantities expected to be sold in a reasonable period of time in the normal course of business. The Company generally enters into agreements for forward delivery. The prices paid in the forward delivery contracts are generally variable within a capped or collared price range. Forward derivative contracts on gold are entered into to manage the price risk associated with forecasted sales of gold inventory in the Company’s pawn shops.

NOTES TO INTERIM UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Cash Flow Hedges of Foreign Exchange Risk

Operations in the United Kingdom and Canada have exposed the Company to changes in the GBP-USD and CAD-USD foreign exchange rates. From time to time, the Company’s U.K. and Canadian subsidiaries purchase investment securities denominated in a currency other than their functional currency. The subsidiaries from time to time hedge the related foreign exchange risk typically with the use of out of the money put options because they cost less than completely averting risk using at the money put options, and the maximum loss is limited to the purchase price of the contracts.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of foreign exchange risk is recorded in other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative, as well as amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, is recognized directly in earnings. As of December 31, 2011, the Company did not have any outstanding foreign currency derivatives that were designated as hedges.

Cash Flow Hedges of Multiple Risks

Prior to the Company’s refinancing activities in December 2009, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and Canada had variable-rate term loan borrowings denominated in currencies other than the foreign subsidiaries’ functional currencies. To hedge these risks, the Company had entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps. These derivatives were originally designated as cash flow hedges of both interest rate and foreign exchange risks. As a result of prepaying all of the outstanding term loans in both the United Kingdom and Canada, the Company discontinued hedge accounting prospectively on its outstanding cross currency swaps. The Company continues to report a net loss related to the discontinued cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive income included in stockholders’ equity, and is subsequently reclassifying this amount into earnings (interest expense) over the remaining original term of the derivative (October 2012). The Canadian cross-currency swaps continue to be outstanding with prospective changes in fair value of these instruments being recorded directly through the income statement.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had the following outstanding derivatives:

Non-designated Hedges of Commodity Risk

In the normal course of business, the Company maintains inventories of gold at its pawn shops. From time to time, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage the price risk associated with forecasted gold inventory levels. Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s exposure to commodity price risk but do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements of the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB Codification. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in earnings. As of December 31, 2011, the Company’s subsidiary in the United Kingdom had five outstanding gold collars with an aggregate notional amount of 4,500 ounces of gold bullion.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

The Company’s agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties also contain provisions requiring it to maintain certain minimum financial covenant ratios related to its indebtedness. Failure to comply with the covenant provisions would result in the Company being in default on any derivative instrument obligations covered by the agreement. At December 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with its covenant provisions.

As of December 31, 2011, the fair value of derivatives is in a net liability position of $48.8 million. This amount includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for non-performance risk.

(1)	The ending balance of the foreign currency translation adjustments included in accumulated other comprehensive income on the balance sheet was a gain of $10.0 million and a loss of $4.2 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

(2)	Net of $0.4 million and $0.4 million of tax for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, the tax was $0.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of related tax, consisted of unrealized losses on terminated cross-currency interest rate swaps of $6.5 million at June 30, 2011, compared to $3.9 million of net unrealized losses on terminated cross-currency interest rate swaps at December 31, 2011.

9.	Income Taxes

Income Tax Provision

The provision for income taxes was $16.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to a provision of $22.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The Company’s effective tax rate was 34.2% for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and was 49.1% for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The increase in the effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the prior year was primarily a result of the tax treatment of the unrealized foreign currency exchange losses in Canada. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to foreign taxes, permanent differences, the impact of unrealized foreign exchange gains/losses and a valuation allowance on U.S. and certain foreign deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2011, the Company maintained net deferred tax assets of $115.7 million, which is offset by a valuation allowance of $88.2 million, which represents a decrease of $5.2 million in the net deferred tax asset during the six months ended December 31, 2011. The change for the period in the Company’s deferred tax assets and valuation allowances is presented in the table below and more fully described in the paragraphs that follow.

Change in Deferred Tax Assets and Valuation Allowances (in millions):

DFC GLOBAL CORP.

NOTES TO INTERIM UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

The $115.7 million in deferred tax assets consists of $43.9 million related to net operating losses and other temporary differences, $53.3 million related to foreign tax credits and $18.5 million in foreign deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2011, U.S. deferred tax assets related to net operating losses and other temporary differences were reduced by a valuation allowance of $43.9 million, which represents a decrease of $1.0 million in the period. The net operating loss carry forward at June 30, 2011 was $78.2 million and at December 31, 2011 was $75.4 million, a decrease of $2.8 million due to a competent authority adjustment. The Company’s ability to utilize pre-fiscal 2007 net operating losses in a given year is limited to $9.0 million under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) because of changes of ownership resulting from the Company’s June 2006 follow-on equity offering. In addition, any future debt or equity transactions may reduce the Company’s net operating losses or further limit its ability to utilize the net operating losses under the Code. The deferred tax asset related to excess foreign tax credits is also fully offset by a valuation allowance of $53.3 million. Additionally, the Company maintains foreign deferred tax assets in the amount of $18.5 million, which is offset by a valuation allowance of $0.8 million related to the Canadian cross-currency interest rate swaps.

At June 30, 2011, the Company had unrecognized tax benefit reserves related to uncertain tax positions of $14.2 million, primarily related to transfer pricing matters which, if recognized, would decrease the effective tax rate. At December 31, 2011, the Company had $15.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits primarily related to transfer pricing matters, which if recognized, would decrease the effective tax rate.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The provision for unrecognized tax benefits including accrued interest is included in income taxes payable.

The tax years ending June 30, 2008 through 2011 remain open to examination by the taxing authorities in the United States and the United Kingdom, and tax years ending June 30, 2006 through 2011 for Canada. The Canadian tax authorities have assessed tax for tax years ending June 30, 2006 and 2007, which the Company is contesting and for which a notice of objection has been filed. During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, the Canadian tax authorities proposed adjustments related to intercompany transfer pricing for the Canadian affiliate for the year ended June 30, 2008. The Company has not agreed with these proposed transfer pricing adjustments and is contesting them through the administrative process. The Canadian affiliate is also under audit for transfer pricing for the year ended June 30, 2009. The Company believes its existing reserves for all tax matters, including the Canadian audits and assessments, are adequate.

10.

Contingent Liabilities

The Company is subject to various asserted and unasserted claims during the course of business. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the litigation process, except for those matters for which an accrual is described below, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the range of loss, if any, in connection with the asserted and unasserted legal actions against it. Although the outcome of many of these matters is currently not determinable, the Company believes that it has meritorious defenses and that the ultimate cost to resolve these matters will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition to the legal proceedings discussed below, the Company is involved in routine litigation and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.

The Company assesses the materiality of litigation by reviewing a range of qualitative and quantitative factors. These factors include the size of the potential claims, the merits of the Company’s defenses and the likelihood of plaintiffs’ success on the merits, the regulatory environment that could impact such claims and the potential impact of the litigation on our business. The Company evaluates the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome of the legal or regulatory proceedings to which it is a party in accordance with the “Contingencies” Topic of the FASB Codification. An accrual for a loss contingency is recorded if it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. When a matter’s liability is reasonably possible, the Company estimates the possible loss or range of loss or determines why such an estimate cannot be made. This assessment is subjective based on the status of the legal proceedings and is based on consultation with in-house and external legal counsel. The actual outcomes of these proceedings may differ from the Company’s assessments.

Purported Canadian Class Actions

In 2003 and 2006, purported class actions were brought against NMM and Dollar Financial Group, Inc. in the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta, Canada on behalf of a class of consumers who obtained short-term loans from NMM in Alberta, alleging, among other things, that the charge to borrowers in connection with such loans was usurious under Canadian federal law (the “Alberta Litigation”). The actions seek restitution and damages, including punitive damages. In April 2010, the plaintiffs in both actions indicated that they would proceed with their claims. Demands for arbitration were served on the plaintiff in each of the actions, and NMM has filed motions to enforce the arbitration clause and to stay the actions. To date, neither case has been certified as a class action. The Company intends to defend these actions vigorously.

DFC GLOBAL CORP.

NOTES TO INTERIM UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

In 2004, an action was filed against NMM in Manitoba on behalf of a purported class of consumers who obtained short-term loans from NMM. In early February 2012, a separate action was filed against NMM and DFG in Manitoba on behalf of a purported class of consumers which substantially overlaps with the purported class in the 2004 action. The allegations in each of these actions are substantially similar to those in the Alberta Litigation and, to date, neither action has been certified as a class action. If either or both of these actions proceed, the Company intends to seek a stay on the grounds that the plaintiffs entered into arbitration and mediation agreements with NMM with respect to the matters which are the subject of the actions. The Company intends to defend these actions vigorously.

As of December 31, 2011, an aggregate of approximately CAD 37.6 million is included in the Company’s accrued liabilities relating to the purported Canadian class action proceedings pending in Alberta and Manitoba and for the settled class actions in Ontario, British Columbia, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland that were settled by the Company in 2010. The settlements in those class action proceedings consisted of a cash component and vouchers to the class members for future services. The component of the accrual that relates to vouchers is approximately CAD 22.6 million, the majority of which is expected to be non-cash. Although we believe that we have meritorious defenses to the claims in the purported class proceedings in Alberta and Manitoba described above and intend vigorously to defend against such remaining pending claims, the ultimate cost of resolution of such claims may exceed the amount accrued at December 31, 2011 and additional accruals may be required in the future.

In 2006, two former employees, Peggy White and Kelly Arseneau, commenced companion actions against NMM and Dollar Financial Group, Inc. The actions, which are pending in the Superior Court of Ontario, allege negligence on the part of the defendants in security training procedures and breach of fiduciary duty to employees in violation of applicable statutes. The companion lawsuits seek combined damages of CAD 5.0 million plus interest and costs. The Company continues to defend these actions vigorously and believes it has meritorious defenses.

In October 2010, The Cash Store Financial Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries, The Cash Store Inc. and InstaLoans Inc. (“Cash Store”), filed a complaint and motion for injunctive relief in Ontario Superior Court against NMM alleging trademark violations and false and misleading advertising, along with claims for CAD 60 million in damages, regarding NMM’s print, television and internet advertising featuring Cash Store’s higher payday loan costs compared to those of NMM. NMM filed its opposition to Cash Store’s motion based, in part, on data gathered from Cash Store loan transactions that supported NMM’s advertising statements. In late October 2010, the Cash Store abandoned its motion to enjoin NMM’s advertising, and the Court granted NMM’s request for reimbursement from the Cash Store of NMMs’ attorneys’ fees incurred to defeat Cash Store’s injunction motion. NMM filed a Statement of Defence to the action in May 2011, and no further action in the case has been taken by Cash Store. NMM intends to vigorously defend this matter and its advertising. At this time, it is too early to determine the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from this case.

California Legal Proceeding

On April 26, 2007, the San Francisco City Attorney (the “City Attorney”) filed a complaint in the name of the People of the State of California alleging, among other things, that certain of the Company’s subsidiaries violated California Business and Professions Code Section 17200 by either themselves making installment loans under the guise of marketing and servicing for co-defendant First Bank of Delaware (the “Bank”) or by brokering installment loans made by the Bank in California in violation of the prohibition on usury contained in the California Constitution and the California Finance Lenders Law, and that they otherwise violated the California Finance Lenders Law and the California Deferred Deposit Transaction Law. On October 12, 2011, the Company and the City Attorney entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed (i) to pay $0.9 million to the City of San Francisco, and (ii) to contribute between $3.0 million and $7.5 million to a settlement fund to satisfy claims for restitution by customers who allegedly were damaged by these loans. As of December 31, 2011, $3.0 million is included in the Company’s accrued liabilities relating to the settlement agreement.

Segment Information

The Company classifies its businesses into three reportable segments: Europe, Canada and United States Retail. These three reporting segments have been identified giving consideration to geographic area, products offered, regulatory environment and management’s view of the business. The Company provides financial services primarily to unbanked and under-banked consumers and small businesses that are typically not well serviced by banks due to their lack of credit history, smaller transaction size and the necessity for a quick and convenient response. The types of service offered to this customer group is the primary commonality enjoining all of the Company’s products and services and delivery channel methodologies. The Company’s strategy is to deliver its various products and services through the most convenient means its customers are accustomed to and comfortable with in each market, and in many instances a single customer may choose multiple delivery methods over time to access the same financial service or product. Due to similarities with respect to customer demographics, the Company’s principal products and services may be offered in all of its geographic jurisdictions. The Europe reporting segment includes the Company’s operating segments in the United Kingdom, the Sefina pawn business (acquired in December 2010) in Sweden and Finland, the Risicum Oyj (acquired in July 2011) Internet lending and telephony based loans business in Finland and Sweden and the Company’s businesses in Poland. These operating segments generally offer the same services distributed in similar fashions, have the same types of customers, are subject to similar regulatory requirements and have similar economic characteristics, allowing these operations to be aggregated into one reporting segment. The amounts reported as “Other”, includes Dealers’ Financial Services as well as all corporate headquarters expenses that support the expansion of the global business that have not been charged out to the reporting segments in Europe, Canada and United States Retail.

The primary service offerings of the Europe, Canada and United States Retail reportable segments are single-payment consumer loans, check cashing, money transfers, pawn loans and sales, gold sales and other ancillary services. As a result of the maturation level of the retail locations, mix of service offerings, competitive conditions, and diversity in the respective geographic regulatory environments, there are differences in each reporting segment’s profit margins.

Subsidiary Guarantor Financial Information

National Money Mart Company’s payment obligations under its 10.375% Senior Notes due 2016 are jointly and severally guaranteed (such guarantees, the “Guarantees”) on a full and unconditional basis by DFC Global Corp. and certain of its direct and indirect wholly owned U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”).

The Guarantees of the 2016 Notes are:

•

senior unsecured obligations of the applicable Guarantor;

•

rank equal in right or payment with existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness of the applicable Guarantor;

•

rank senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the applicable Guarantor; and

•

effectively junior to an indebtedness of such Guarantor, including indebtedness under the Company’s Global Revolving Credit Facility, which is secured by assets of such Guarantor to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Indebtedness.

Separate financial statements of each subsidiary Guarantor have not been presented because they are not required by securities laws and management has determined that they would not be material to investors. The accompanying tables set forth the condensed consolidating balance sheets at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2011, the condensed consolidating statements of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2011 and the condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2011 of DFC Global Corp., National Money Mart Company, the combined Guarantors, the combined Non-Guarantors and the consolidated Company.

Executive Summary

Overview

We are a leading international diversified financial services company serving primarily unbanked and under-banked consumers who, for reasons of convenience and accessibility, purchase some or all of their financial services from us rather than from banks and other financial institutions. Through our over 1,300 retail storefront locations, Internet websites and mobile phone and other remote platforms, we provide a variety of consumer financial products and services in seven countries across North America and Europe — the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, Sweden, Finland, Poland and the Republic of Ireland.

Our networks of retail locations in the United Kingdom and Canada are the largest of their kind by revenue in each of those countries. As a result of our acquisition of Sefina Finance AB, we believe that we are also the largest pawn lender in each of Sweden and Finland and, together with our existing pawn operation in the United Kingdom, we believe we are the largest pawn lender in Europe. At December 31, 2011, our global retail operations consisted of 1,324 retail storefront locations, of which 1,259 are company-owned financial services stores, operating principally as Money Mart ^® , The Money Shop ^® , Insta-Cheques ^® , Suttons and Robertson ^® , The Check Cashing Store ^® , Sefina ^® , Helsingin Pantti ^SM and MoneyNow! ^® in Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, Poland, the Republic of Ireland, Sweden and Finland. This network of stores offers a variety of financial services including consumer loans, pawn services, gold buying, check cashing, money transfer services and various other related services. We also offer Internet-based short-term consumer loans in the United Kingdom primarily under the brand names Payday Express ^® and Payday UK ^® , in Canada under the Money Mart and paydayloan.ca brand names, and in Finland and Sweden primarily under the Risicum ^® and OK Money ^® brand names. In the United Kingdom, the Company also operates a merchant cash advance business, under the brand name mce ^® , that primarily provides working capital to small retail businesses by providing cash advances against a future receivable calculated as a percentage of future credit card receipts. In addition, we provide financial services to primarily unbanked and underbanked consumers in Poland through in-home servicing under the trade name Optima ^® .

Our products and services, principally our short-term consumer loans, check cashing services, secured pawn loans and gold buying services, provide customers with immediate access to cash for living expenses or other needs. We strive to offer our customers additional high-value ancillary services, including Western Union ^® money order and money transfer products, electronic tax filing,

reloadable prepaid VISA ^® and MasterCard ^® debit cards, foreign currency exchange and prepaid local and long-distance phone services. In addition to our core products, we also provide fee-based services to enlisted military personnel applying for loans to purchase new and used vehicles that are funded and serviced under an agreement with a major third-party national bank through our branded Military Installment Loan and Education Services, or MILES ^® , program.

Through industry associations in most of the jurisdictions we operate, including the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States, we continue to seek to foster strong working relationships with regulatory agencies with oversight for our markets and products. Currently, the industry association of which we are a member in the United Kingdom is working with Britain’s Office of Fair Trading to discuss policies and best practices primarily with respect to debt collection procedures and methodologies.

For our consumer loans, as well as pawn lending, we receive interest and fees on the loans we provide. For our check cashing services, we charge our customers fees that are usually equal to a percentage of the amount of the check being cashed and are deducted from the cash provided to the customer.

Our expenses primarily relate to the operations of our store network, including the provision for loan losses, salaries and benefits for our employees, occupancy expense for our leased real estate, depreciation of our assets and corporate and other expenses, including costs related to opening and closing stores.

In each foreign country in which we operate, local currency is used for both revenues and expenses. Therefore, we record the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations related to our foreign net income.

During the six months ended December 31, 2011, nearly 40% of our total consolidated revenue was comprised of products and services which generally carry little or no credit risk, such as secured pawn lending, check cashing, money transfers, gold purchasing, foreign exchange and fee-based income generated from the MILES program.

We manage our business as three reportable segments — our financial services offerings in each of Europe, Canada and the United States. Our Dealers’ Financial Services, LLC, or DFS, subsidiary, which we operate independently of our other businesses, is included in Other.

Since July 1, 2010, we have acquired eight businesses for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $334.5 million. This includes our December 31, 2010 acquisition of Sefina Finance AB (Sefina), with a purchase price of approximately $90.6 million, including estimated contingent consideration, our April 1, 2011 acquisition of Purpose U.K. Holdings Limited (MEM), for which we paid a purchase price of approximately $195.0 million, and our July 6, 2011 purchase of Risicum Oyj (Risicum), for which we paid a purchase price of approximately $46.5 million.

Recent Events

On July 6, 2011, we acquired Risicum Oyj, the leading provider of Internet loans in Finland with headquarters in Helsinki, Finland. Risicum, which was established in 2005, provides loans predominately in Finland through both Internet and mobile phone technology, utilizing multiple brands to target specific customer demographics. Risicum also provides Internet and telephony-based loans in Sweden.

On August 24, 2011, we announced that we changed our name to DFC Global Corp. We will continue to trade on the NASDAQ stock market under the ticker symbol “DLLR”.

On December 14, 2011, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a stock repurchase plan, authorizing us to repurchase in the aggregate up to five million shares of our outstanding common stock. As of December 31, 2011, no shares of our common stock have been repurchased.

Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies

In the ordinary course of business, we have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial condition in the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to revenue recognition, loan loss reserves and goodwill and intangible assets. 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 from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Other than the item noted below, management believes there have been no significant changes during the six months ended December 31, 2011, to the items that we disclose as our critical accounting policies in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

DFS business unit revenues continue to be unfavorably impacted by the continued high troop deployment to Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries and the influx of competition that have re-entered the auto loan market with aggressive pricing options. To address this situation we have further enhanced our internet and local media advertising campaigns which are intended to increase product awareness amongst the enlisted personnel at the military bases we serve, and we have also recently initiated a management plan to increase revenues and profitability for this business, including the addition of another lender for certain of the loans originated by DFS. The attainment of the forecasted business plan and projections related to the DFS MILES program is in part dependent on the success of the management plan to both a) expand the MILES program through its existing channels and b) introduce the MILES program to other branches of the military and military-related organizations. If these initiatives do not achieve the results anticipated, it is reasonably possible that there could be future impairment of the DFS MILES program indefinite-lived intangible asset and goodwill related to the DFS business unit.

Constant Currency Analysis

We maintain operations in Canada, Europe and the United States. Over 80% of our revenues are originated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, principally the Canadian Dollar and British Pound Sterling. As a result, changes in our reported revenues and profits include the impacts of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. As additional information to the reader, we provide “constant currency” assessments in the following discussion and analysis to remove and/or quantify the impact of the fluctuation in foreign exchange rates and utilize constant currency results in our analysis of segment performance. Our constant currency assessment assumes foreign exchange rates in the current fiscal periods remained the same as in the prior fiscal year periods. For the three months ended December 31, 2011, the actual average exchange rates used to translate the Canadian and United Kingdom’s results were 0.9775 and 1.5715, respectively. For constant currency reporting purposes, the average exchange rates used to translate the Canadian and United Kingdom’s results for the three months ended December 31, 2011 were 0.9875 and 1.5807, respectively, which represents the average exchange rates used to translate the results for the three months ended December 31, 2010. For the six months ended December 31, 2011, the actual average exchange rates used to translate the Canadian and United Kingdom’s results were 0.9992 and 1.5910, respectively. For constant currency reporting purposes, the average exchange rates used to translate the Canadian and United Kingdom’s results for the three months ended December 31, 2011 were 0.9749 and 1.5659, respectively, which represents the average exchange rates used to translate the results for the six months ended December 31, 2010.

We believe that our constant currency assessments are a useful measure, indicating the actual growth and profitability of our operations. Earnings from our subsidiaries are not generally repatriated to the United States; therefore, we do not incur significant economic gains or losses on foreign currency transactions with our subsidiaries. To the extent funds are transmitted between countries, we may be subject to realized foreign exchange gains or losses. To the extent liabilities are paid or assets are received in a currency other than the local currency, we would incur realized transactional foreign exchange gains or losses. Cash accounts are maintained in Canada and Europe in local currency, and as a result, there is little, if any diminution in value from the changes in currency rates. Therefore, cash balances are available on a local currency basis to fund the daily operations of the Canada and Europe business units.

Three Months Ended December 31, 2011 compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2010

Revenues

Total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2011 increased by $80.9 million, or 44.3%, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2010. The impact of new stores and acquisitions accounted for an increase of $69.2 million, while the impact of foreign currency accounted for a decrease of $2.0 million. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impacts of new stores and acquisitions, total revenues increased by $13.8 million, or 7.5%. The increase was primarily the result of a $16.0 million increase in revenues in Europe, primarily related to consumer lending, pawn service fees and sales and gold sales, partially offset by a $2.2 million decrease in DFS revenues.

Consolidated fees from consumer lending were $159.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $99.3 million for the year earlier period, an increase of $60.4 million or 60.8%. The impact of new stores and acquisitions accounted for an increase of $48.8 million, including our April 1, 2011 acquisition of MEM and our July 6, 2011 acquisition of Risicum. The impact of foreign currency accounted for a decrease of $1.3 million. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impacts of new stores and acquisitions, consumer lending revenues increased by approximately $12.9 million. Consumer lending revenues in Europe, Canada and United States Retail were up by $11.2 million, $1.0 million and $0.7 million, respectively (on a constant currency basis and excluding the impacts of new stores and acquisitions).

Consolidated check cashing revenue decreased $2.1 million, or 5.6%, for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to the prior year period. There was a decrease of approximately $0.2 million related to foreign exchange rates and increases from new stores and acquisitions of $3.5 million. The remaining check cashing revenues were down $5.3 million, or 14.5%, for the three months ended December 31, 2011. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impacts of new stores and acquisitions, the check cashing revenues declined 18.4% in Europe, 14.1% in Canada and 11.8% in United States Retail. There was a decline of 10.2% in the number of checks cashed for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2010. Studies by the Federal Reserve Board and others suggest that payments made by electronic means may be displacing a portion of the paper checks traditionally cashed that could be impacting our check cashing business. Concurrently, our store debit card revenues are increasing as more of our customers are switching to this medium in lieu of checks.

Pawn service fees were $20.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011, representing an increase of $13.2 million, or 182.0%, compared to the prior year period. The impact of foreign currency fluctuations accounted for a decrease of $0.1 million and increases of approximately $10.3 million related to the impact from new stores and acquisitions, including our December 31, 2010 acquisition of Sefina. The remaining increase of $3.0 million, or 41.6%, is primarily due to management’s increased emphasis on promoting and growing our pawn business in Europe.

For the three months ended December 31, 2011, money transfer fees, gold sales and all other revenues increased by $9.4 million. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impacts of new stores and acquisitions, these revenues increased by $3.2 million, or 8.1%, for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher gold sales in Europe and United States Retail, and increased debit card fees in Canada, partially offset by reduced DFS revenues.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were $167.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $112.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $55.2 million or 49.1%. The impact of foreign currency fluctuations accounted for a decrease of $1.4 million. The primary increase in the current year’s operating expenses is related to new stores and acquisitions of approximately $49.6 million. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impacts of new stores and acquisitions, operating expenses increased by $7.0 million as compared to the prior year. For the three months ended December 31, 2011, total operating expenses increased to 63.7% of total revenue as compared to 61.7% of total revenue in the prior year. After adjusting for constant currency reporting and excluding the impacts of new stores and acquisitions, the percentage of total operating expenses as compared to total revenue was 60.9%.

The consolidated loan loss provision, expressed as a percentage of gross consumer lending revenue, was 19.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to 16.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The higher loan loss provision was influenced by a changing mix of loan products and countries, including a stronger mix of Internet-based loans in the United Kingdom and Scandanavia, which typically carry higher loan losses, but lower overall operating costs than our store based businesses.

Relative to our primary business units, after excluding the impacts of foreign currency and new stores and acquisitions, operating expenses in Europe and United States Retail increased by $7.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and decreased by $1.0 million in Canada. The increase in operating expenses in Europe reflects the growth of the internet business and its costs, an increase in the provision for loan losses primarily due to the mix of lending products, increased salary and benefits costs, and an increase in costs related to the volume of purchased gold product. The decrease in Canada was primarily a result of decreased salary and benefits costs, professional fees and franchise and other taxes, partially offset by increased costs related to the purchased gold product.

Corporate Expenses

Corporate expenses were $29.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $23.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010, or an increase of $5.7 million. The increase is consistent with our increased investment in ecommerce and our global infrastructure to support global store, product and platform expansion plans, as well our investment in our global business development team which is focused on global acquisition and business development strategies and execution. The increase is commensurate with our growth and as a percentage of revenue, is lower than the prior year period.

Other Depreciation and Amortization

Other depreciation and amortization was $6.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The increase of $3.7 million is primarily related to amortization of intangible assets related to the MEM and Risicum acquisitions, as well as amortization of recently reacquired franchise rights.

Interest Expense

Interest expense, net was $24.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $21.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in interest expense, net is primarily the result of increased debt levels related to the MEM and Risicum acquisitions, as well as interest expense on debt assumed as part of the Sefina acquisition. Included in the interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2011 is approximately $5.1 million of non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of accumulated charges related to the discontinuance of hedge accounting for our cross currency interest rate swaps, the non-cash interest expense associated with our convertible debt and the amortization of various deferred issuance costs. This non-cash interest expense was approximately $4.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010, representing an increase of approximately $0.5 million. The increase was primarily related to the amortization of debt issuance costs related to our global revolving credit facility, as well as the non-cash interest on our convertible debt.

Subsequent to the prepayment of the majority of our Canadian term debt on December 23, 2009 with the proceeds from our $600.0 million senior note offering completed in December 2009, we discontinued hedge accounting on these cross-currency swaps because we no longer achieved the requirements of hedge accounting. However, in accordance with the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB Codification, we continued to report the net loss related to the discontinued cash flow hedge in other accumulated comprehensive income and subsequently reclassify such amounts into earnings over the remaining original term of the derivative when the hedged forecasted transactions are recognized in earnings. This resulted in a $1.6 million non-cash interest charge for both the three months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Unrealized Foreign Exchange Gain/Loss

Unrealized foreign exchange gain of $12.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 is due primarily to the unrealized foreign exchange gain associated with the mark to market of our $600.0 million in senior notes, partially offset by unrealized foreign exchange losses on intercompany debt. The senior notes were issued by our indirectly wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary and are denominated in a currency other than the reporting currency of that entity. Near the end of fiscal 2010, we retired the remaining term debt related to our 2006 credit agreement leaving only the Canadian subsidiary’s $600.0 million in senior notes outstanding. The impact of all prospective changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. Dollar and the Canadian Dollar will be reflected in our earnings as “unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses”. The unrealized foreign exchange gain of $17.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 is due primarily to the mark to market of the unrealized foreign exchange gain on our senior notes, partially offset by unrealized foreign exchange losses on intercompany debt.

Loss (gain) on derivatives not designated as hedges

The mark to market loss on derivatives not designated as hedges was $8.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to a loss of $10.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010. Loss (gain) on derivatives not designated as hedges is related to the change in fair value and the net additional cash payments to the swap counter parties associated with our cross-currency interest rate swaps in Canada that are related to the legacy bank term loans that were repaid in December 2009. The change in fair value is related to both the changes in market interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

(Proceeds from) Provision for Litigation Settlements

The proceeds from litigation settlements during the three months ended December 31, 2010 was $4.1 million and related to cash received from certain Canadian franchisees for their portion of settlement costs for the Canadian class actions.

Other (Income) Expense

During the three months ended December 31, 2011, we recorded net other expenses of approximately $1.1 million, due to acquisition-related activities of $1.0 million and realized foreign exchange losses of $0.8 million, offset by other income items of $0.7 million.

During the three months ended December 31, 2010, we recorded other expenses of approximately $2.0 million, due to acquisition-related activities of $2.7 million, offset by other income items of $0.7 million.

Income Tax Provision

The provision for income taxes was $12.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to a provision of $10.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010. Our effective tax rate was 31.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and was 34.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the prior year was primarily a result of the tax treatment of the unrealized mark to market foreign currency exchange losses in Canada. Our effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to foreign taxes, permanent differences, the impact of unrealized mark to market foreign exchange gains/losses and a valuation allowance on U.S. and certain foreign deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2011, we maintained deferred tax assets of $115.7 million, which is offset by a valuation allowance of $88.2 million, which represents a decrease of $2.0 million in the net deferred tax asset during the three months ended December 31, 2011. The change for the period in our deferred tax assets and valuation allowances is more fully described in the paragraphs that follow.

The $115.7 million in deferred tax assets consists of $43.9 million related to net operating losses and other temporary differences, $53.3 million related to foreign tax credits and $18.5 million in foreign deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2011, U.S. deferred tax assets related to net operating losses and other temporary differences were reduced by a valuation allowance of $43.9 million, which represents a decrease of $1.0 million in the period. The net operating loss carry forward at June 30, 2011 was $78.2 million and at December 31, 2011 was $75.4 million, a decrease of $2.8 million due to a competent authority adjustment. Our ability to utilize pre-fiscal 2007 net operating losses in a given year is limited to $9.0 million under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) because of changes of ownership resulting from our June 2006 follow-on equity offering. In addition, any future debt or equity transactions may reduce our net operating losses or further limit its ability to utilize the net operating losses under the Code. The deferred tax asset related to excess foreign tax credits is also fully offset by a valuation allowance of $53.3 million. Additionally, we maintain foreign deferred tax assets in the amount of $18.5 million, which is offset by a valuation allowance of $0.8 million related to the Canadian cross-currency interest rate swaps.

At June 30, 2011, we had unrecognized tax benefit reserves related to uncertain tax positions of $14.2 million, primarily related to transfer pricing matters which, if recognized, would decrease the effective tax rate. At December 31, 2011, we had $15.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits primarily related to transfer pricing matters, which if recognized, would decrease the effective tax rate.

We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The provision for unrecognized tax benefits including accrued interest is included in income taxes payable.

ended December 31, 2011, the Canadian tax authorities proposed adjustments related to intercompany transfer pricing for the Canadian affiliate for the year ended June 30, 2008. We have not agreed with these proposed transfer pricing adjustments and are contesting them through the administrative process. The Canadian affiliate is also under audit for transfer pricing for the year ended June 30, 2009. We believe our existing reserves for all tax matters, including the Canadian audits and assessments, are adequate.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2011 compared to Six Months Ended December 31, 2010

Revenues

Total revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2011 increased by $168.3 million, or 47.2%, as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2010. The impact of foreign currency accounted for $8.9 million of the revenue increase with an additional increase of $130.3 million related to the impact of new stores and acquisitions. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impacts of new stores and acquisitions, total revenues increased by $29.1 million, or 8.2%. The increase was primarily the result of a $33.6 million increase in revenues in Europe, primarily related to consumer lending and pawn service fees and sales, partially offset by a $5.1 million decrease in DFS revenues.

Consolidated fees from consumer lending were $316.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $191.3 million for the year earlier period, an increase of $125.4 million or 65.5%. The impact of foreign currency fluctuations accounted for an increase of approximately $5.1 million and the impact of new stores and acquisitions was an increase of $92.7 million, including our April 1, 2011 acquisition of MEM and our July 6, 2011 acquisition of Risicum. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impacts of new stores and acquisitions, consumer lending revenues increased by approximately $27.5 million. Consumer lending revenues in Europe, Canada and United States Retail were up by $24.0 million, $1.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively (on a constant currency basis and excluding the impacts of new stores and acquisitions).

Consolidated check cashing revenue decreased $1.2 million, or 1.6%, for the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to the prior year period. There was an increase of approximately $1.2 million related to foreign exchange rates and increases from new stores and acquisitions of $6.5 million. The remaining check cashing revenues were down $8.9 million, or 12.4%, for the six months ended December 31, 2011. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impacts of new stores and acquisitions, the check cashing revenues declined 16.2% in Europe, 10.8% in Canada and 12.2% in United States Retail. There was a decline of 7.4% in the number of checks cashed for the six months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2010. Concurrently, our store debit card revenues are increasing as more of our customers are switching to this medium in lieu of checks.

Pawn service fees were $41.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011, representing an increase of $27.7 million, or 205.2%, compared to the prior year period. The impact of foreign currency fluctuations accounted for an increase of $1.3 million and increases of approximately $19.5 million related to the impact from new stores and acquisitions, including our December 31, 2010 acquisition of Sefina. The remaining increase of $6.9 million, or 51.2%, is primarily due to management’s increased emphasis on promoting and growing our pawn business in Europe.

For the six months ended December 31, 2011, money transfer fees, gold sales and all other revenues increased by $16.3 million. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impacts of new stores and acquisitions, these revenues increased by $3.6 million, or 4.5%, for the six months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher gold sales in Europe and United States Retail, and increased debit card fees in Canada, partially offset by reduced DFS revenues.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were $333.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $218.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $114.7 million or 52.5%. The impact of foreign currency fluctuations accounted for an increase of $5.1 million. There was an increase in the current year’s operating expenses related to new stores and acquisitions of approximately $92.4 million. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impacts of new stores and acquisitions, operating expenses increased by $17.2 million as compared to the prior year. For the six months ended December 31, 2011, total operating expenses increased to 63.4% of total revenue as compared to 61.2% of total revenue in the prior year. After adjusting for constant currency reporting and excluding the impacts of new stores and acquisitions, the percentage of total operating expenses as compared to total revenue was 61.1%.

The consolidated loan loss provision, expressed as a percentage of gross consumer lending revenue, was 20.0% for the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to 15.9% for the six months ended December 31, 2010. The higher loan loss provision was influenced by a changing mix of loan products and countries, including a stronger mix of Internet-based loans in the United Kingdom and Scandanavia, which typically carry higher loan losses, but lower overall operating costs than our store based businesses.

Relative to our primary business units, after excluding the impacts of foreign currency and new stores and acquisitions, operating expenses in Europe and United States Retail increased by $18.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, and decreased by $1.7 million in Canada. The increase in operating expenses in Europe reflects the growth of the internet business and its costs, an increase in the provision for loan losses primarily due to the mix of lending products, increased salary and benefits costs, and an increase in costs related to the purchased gold product. The decrease in Canada was primarily a result of decreased salary and benefits costs.

Corporate Expenses

Corporate expenses were $60.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $49.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010, or an increase of $11.3 million. The increase is consistent with our increased investment in our ecommerce and global infrastructure to support global store, product and platform expansion plans, as well our investment in our global business development team which is focused on global acquisition and business development strategies and execution. The increase is commensurate with our growth and as a percentage of revenue, is lower than the prior year period.

Other Depreciation and Amortization

Other depreciation and amortization was $13.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $5.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010. The increase of $7.5 million is primarily related to amortization of intangible assets related to the MEM and Risicum acquisitions, as well as amortization of recently reacquired franchise rights.

Interest Expense

Interest expense, net was $48.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $43.5 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in interest expense, net is primarily the result of increased debt levels related to the MEM and Risicum acquisitions, as well as interest expense on debt assumed as part of the Sefina acquisition. Included in the interest expense for the six months ended December 31, 2011 is approximately $10.2 million of non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of accumulated charges related to the discontinuance of hedge accounting for our cross currency interest rate swaps, the non-cash interest expense associated with our convertible debt and the amortization of various deferred issuance costs. This non-cash interest expense was approximately $9.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010, representing an increase of approximately $1.1 million. The increase was primarily related to the amortization of debt issuance costs related to our global revolving credit facility, as well as the non-cash interest on our convertible debt.

Subsequent to the prepayment of the majority of our Canadian term debt on December 23, 2009 with the proceeds from our $600.0 million senior note offering completed in December 2009, we discontinued hedge accounting on these cross-currency swaps because we no longer achieved the requirements of hedge accounting. However, in accordance with the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB Codification, we continued to report the net loss related to the discontinued cash flow hedge in other accumulated comprehensive income and subsequently reclassify such amounts into earnings over the remaining original term of the derivative when the hedged forecasted transactions are recognized in earnings. This resulted in a $3.3 million non-cash interest charge for the six months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to a charge of approximately $3.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010.

Unrealized Foreign Exchange Gain/Loss

Unrealized foreign exchange loss of $30.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 is due primarily to the unrealized foreign exchange losses associated with the mark to market of our $600.0 million in senior notes, partially offset by unrealized foreign exchange gains on intercompany debt. The unrealized foreign exchange gain of $32.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010 is due primarily to the mark to market of the unrealized foreign exchange gain on our senior notes, partially offset by unrealized foreign exchange losses on intercompany debt.

Loss (gain) on derivatives not designated as hedges

The mark to market gain on derivatives not designated as hedges was $12.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011, compared to a loss of $24.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010. Loss (gain) on derivatives not designated as hedges is related to the change in fair value and the net additional cash payments to the swap counter parties associated with our cross-currency interest rate swaps in Canada that are related to the legacy bank term loans that were repaid in December 2009. The change in fair value is related to both the changes in market interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

(Proceeds from) Provision for Litigation Settlements

The provision for litigation settlements during the six months ended December 31, 2011 was $4.0 million and primarily related to the settlement of litigation in California.

The proceeds from litigation settlements during the three months ended December 31, 2010 was $3.9 million, primarily related to cash received from certain Canadian franchisees for their portion of settlement costs for the Canadian class actions.

Other (Income) Expense

During the six months ended December 31, 2011, we recorded net other expenses of approximately $1.2 million, due to acquisition-related activities of $2.1 million and realized foreign exchange losses of $0.7 million, partially offset by other income items of $1.6 million.

During the six months ended December 31, 2010, we recorded other expenses of approximately $2.7 million, due to acquisition-related activities of $3.6 million, partially offset by other income items of $0.9 million.

Income Tax Provision

The provision for income taxes was $22.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to a provision of $16.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010. Our effective tax rate was 49.1% for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and was 34.2% for the six months ended December 31, 2010. The increase in the effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the prior year was primarily a result of the tax treatment of the unrealized mark to market foreign currency exchange losses in Canada. Our effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to foreign taxes, permanent differences, the impact of unrealized mark to market foreign exchange gains/losses and a valuation allowance on U.S. and certain foreign deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2011, we maintained deferred tax assets of $115.7 million, which is offset by a valuation allowance of $88.2 million, which represents a decrease of $5.2 million in the net deferred tax asset during the six months ended December 31, 2011. The change for the period in our deferred tax assets and valuation allowances is presented in the table below.

Three Months Ended December 31, 2011 compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2010

Europe

Total revenues in Europe were $145.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $68.4 million for the year earlier period, an increase of $77.3 million or 113.1%. The MEM, Sefina and Risicum acquisitions contributed $52.4 million of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2011. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impact of new stores and acquisitions, year-over-year revenues in Europe increased by $16.0 million, or 23.5%. Consumer lending and pawn service fees were up by $11.2 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The growth in consumer lending revenue reflects strong performance from the internet lending business and also the continued robust performance of the store-based business. Other revenues (gold sales, money transfer fees, foreign exchange products and debit cards) increased by $3.3 million primarily as a result of increases in gold sales and money transfer fees. Check cashing revenues in Europe were impacted by the economic downturn and the gradual migration away from paper checks and decreased by approximately $1.5 million, or 18.4% (also on a constant currency basis and excluding new stores and acquisitions).

Operating expenses in Europe increased by $52.5 million, or 111.1%, from $47.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $99.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011. On a constant currency basis and excluding new stores and acquisitions, Europe operating expenses increased by $7.7 million or 16.2%. There was an increase of 0.8 pts relating to the provision for loan losses as a percentage of consumer lending revenues primarily due to the mix of lending products, including a stronger mix of Internet-based loans. On a constant currency basis, the provision for loan losses as a percentage of consumer lending revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was 24.0% while for the current year, the rate increased to 24.8%. On a constant currency basis, the operating margin percentage in Europe increased from 30.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2010 to 31.4% for the current year primarily due to percentage decreases in salaries and benefits and occupancy costs partially offset by the increase in the provision for loan losses noted above, as well as increased advertising costs related to Internet-based lending and lower gold sales margins. We employ a variety of media to advertise the products and services that we offer in our financial services stores and Internet sales channel, including point of purchase and in-store promotions, mass media campaigns including television and radio advertisements, and electronic media costs such as text messaging, e-mail campaigns, search engine marketing and web site marketing. Advertising expense also includes lead generation costs paid to online companies in exchange for providing leads for potential customers interested in using the products and services we offer.

The pre-tax income in Europe was $23.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $11.9 million for the prior year, an increase of $11.2 million – on a constant currency basis, the increase was $11.1 million. In addition to increased operating margins of $25.0 million, pre-tax income was negatively impacted by increased interest expense of $5.0 million, increased amortization expense of $3.0 million and increased infrastructure costs to support future expansion resulting in increased net corporate expenses of $5.1 million.

Canada

Total revenues in Canada were $82.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011, an increase of 6.4%, or $5.0 million, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2010. The impact of new stores and acquisitions accounted for $6.7 million of this increase. The impact of foreign currency rates accounted for a $0.8 million decrease. Consumer lending revenues in Canada increased by $3.3 million or 7.7% (on a constant currency basis) for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the prior year, reflecting new customer growth from our television advertising campaigns designed to highlight our competitive pricing advantage to customers, and the acquisition of franchisee stores. Other revenues (gold sales, money transfer fees, foreign exchange products and

debit cards) increased by $2.5 million (on a constant currency basis) as a result of increased money transfer fees and debit card fees. Check cashing revenues were flat in Canada due to a 3.4% decrease in the number of checks cashed, partially offset by a 0.7% increase in the total value of checks cashed (also on a constant currency basis).

Operating expenses in Canada increased $2.4 million, or 6.1%, from $39.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 to $41.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The impacts of changes in foreign currency rates resulted in a decrease of $0.4 million. The constant currency increase of approximately $2.8 million is primarily related to costs associated with the acquired franchisee stores. On a constant currency basis, provision for loan losses, as a percentage of loan revenues, decreased by 0.4 pts from 11.2% to 10.8%. Overall Canada’s operating margin percentage increased from 49.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2010 to 49.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The increase in this area is primarily the result of increased revenue and reduced salaries and benefits costs.

Canada pre-tax income was $16.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to pre-tax income of $23.6 million for the prior year, a decrease of $7.1 million. On a constant currency basis, the pre-tax income was also $16.5 million. On a constant currency basis, the positive impacts of increased operating margins of $3.0 million, reduced interest expense of $1.2 million and a non-cash valuation gain of $2.7 million on the cross currency interest rate swaps, were offset by reduced proceeds from litigation settlements of $4.2 million, increased corporate expenses of $2.5 million and a reduced unrealized mark to market foreign exchange gain of $6.2 million related to our senior notes. The amount of unrealized mark to market foreign exchange gains/losses is based on exchange rates as of the end of the reporting period (in this case December 31, 2011) and is subject to the volatility of daily foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

United States Retail

Total United States Retail revenues were $31.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $30.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $0.8 million or 2.7%. From a product perspective, this increase is primarily related to increases of $0.7 million and $1.1 million in consumer lending and gold sales, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in check cashing fees of $1.1 million, due to decreases in the number of checks and the total value of checks cashed.

Operating margins in United States Retail decreased to 24.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to 25.3% for the prior year period. United States Retail operating margins are significantly lower than our other segments. The primary drivers for this disparity are greater competition in the United States, which effects revenue per store, higher U.S. salary costs and somewhat higher occupancy costs.

United States Retail pre-tax profit was $6.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Other

Included in Other are DFS revenues of $3.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $5.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of $2.2 million or 40.7%. Revenue for the DFS business unit was unfavorably impacted by the continued high troop deployment to Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries and the influx of competition that have re-entered the auto loan market with aggressive pricing options. We further enhanced our internet and local media advertising campaigns which are intended to increase product awareness amongst the enlisted personnel at the military bases we serve, and we have also recently initiated a management plan to increase revenues and profitability for the DFS business. This plan includes expanding the business through DFS’ existing channels and introducing the business to other branches of the military and military-related organizations, as well as adding new lenders for certain of the loans originated by DFS.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2011 compared to Six Months Ended December 31, 2010

On a constant currency basis and excluding the impact of new stores and acquisitions, year-over-year revenues in Europe increased by $33.6 million, or 25.5%. Consumer lending and pawn service fees were up by $24.0 million and $6.9 million, respectively. The growth in consumer lending revenue reflects strong performance from the internet lending business and also the continued robust performance of the store-based business. Other revenues (gold sales, money transfer fees, foreign exchange products and debit cards) increased by $5.4 million as a result of increases in gold sales and money

transfer fees. Check cashing revenues in Europe were impacted by the economic downturn and the gradual migration away from paper checks to debit cards, and decreased by approximately $2.6 million, or 16.2% (also on a constant currency basis and excluding new stores and acquisitions).

Operating expenses in Europe increased by $106.7 million, or 117.8%, from $90.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $197.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011. On a constant currency basis and excluding new stores and acquisitions, Europe operating expenses increased by $18.5 million or 20.4%. There was an increase of 2.1 pts relating to the provision for loan losses as a percentage of consumer lending revenues primarily due to the mix of lending products, including a stronger mix of Internet-based loans. On a constant currency basis, the provision for loan losses as a percentage of consumer lending revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2010 was 23.1% while for the current year, the rate increased to 25.2%. On a constant currency basis, the operating margin percentage in Europe was 31.5% for both the six months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011, due to the increase in the provision for loan losses noted above, as well as increased advertising costs related to Internet-based lending offset by reduced salaries and benefits costs and reduced occupancy costs as a percentage of revenue.

The pre-tax income in Europe was $48.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $23.9 million for the prior year, an increase of $24.1 million — on a constant currency basis, the increase was $22.9 million. In addition to increased operating margins of $47.5 million, pre-tax income was negatively impacted by increased interest expense of $8.9 million, increased amortization expense of $6.0 million, and increased infrastructure costs to support future expansion resulting in increased net corporate expenses of $7.8 million.

Canada

Total revenues in Canada were $167.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011, an increase of 10.2%, or $15.5 million, as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2010. The impact of foreign currency rates and new stores and acquisitions accounted for $3.9 million and $12.9 million of this increase, respectively. Consumer lending revenues in Canada increased by $6.3 million or 7.4% (on a constant currency basis) for the six months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the prior year, reflecting new customer growth from our television advertising campaigns designed to highlight our competitive pricing advantage to customers, and the acquisition of franchisee stores. Other revenues (gold sales, money transfer fees, foreign exchange products and debit cards) increased by $3.9 million (on a constant currency basis) as a result of increased money transfer fees and debit card fees. Check cashing revenues increased $1.4 million in Canada due to increases in the number of checks and the total value of checks cashed, up by 2.2% and 5.4%, respectively (also on a constant currency basis), primarily related to the acquired franchisee stores.

Operating expenses in Canada increased $7.4 million, or 9.7%, from $76.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010 to $84.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The impacts of changes in foreign currency rates resulted in an increase of $2.0 million. The constant currency increase of approximately $5.4 million is primarily related to costs associated with the acquired franchisee stores. On a constant currency basis, provision for loan losses, as a percentage of loan revenues, increased by 0.2 pts from 10.7% to 10.9%. Overall Canada’s operating margin percentage increased from 49.5% for the six months ended December 31, 2010 to 49.8% for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The increase in this area is primarily the result of increased revenue and reduced salaries and benefits costs as a percentage of revenue.

Canada pre-tax income was $7.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to pre-tax income of $31.8 million for the prior year, a decrease of $24.7 million. On a constant currency basis, pre-tax income was $7.2 million. On a constant currency basis, the decrease in pre-tax income from the prior year is attributable to the positive impacts of increased operating margins of $6.1 million, a non-cash valuation gain of $36.8 million on the cross currency interest rate swaps and reduced interest expense of $2.1 million, which were offset by an unrealized mark to market foreign exchange loss of $62.5 million related to our senior notes, reduced proceeds from litigation settlements of $4.2 million and increased corporate expenses of $2.0 million. The amount of unrealized foreign exchange gains/losses is based on exchange rates as of the end of the reporting period (in this case December 31, 2011) and is subject the volatility of daily foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

United States Retail

Total United States Retail revenues were $62.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $60.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $1.8 million or 3.0%. From a product perspective, this increase is primarily related to increases of $1.6 million and $2.0 million in consumer lending and gold sales, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in check cashing fees of $2.3 million, due to decreases in the number of checks and the total value of checks cashed.

Operating margins in United States Retail were 24.3% for the six months ended December 31, 2011, compared to 24.4% for the prior year period. United States Retail operating margins are significantly lower than our other segments. The primary drivers for this disparity are greater competition in the United States, which effects revenue per store, higher U.S. salary costs and somewhat higher occupancy costs.

United States Retail pre-tax profit was $9.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $12.9 million for the prior year. The decrease was primarily the result of a $3.9 million provision for litigation settlements.

Other

Included in Other are DFS revenues of 6.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $12.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010, a decrease of $5.1 million or 42.5%. Revenue for the DFS business unit was unfavorably impacted by the continued high troop deployment to Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries and the influx of competition that have re-entered the auto loan market with aggressive pricing options.

Changes in Financial Condition

On a constant currency basis, cash and cash equivalent balances and the revolving credit facilities balances fluctuate significantly as a result of seasonal, intra-month and day-to-day requirements for funding check cashing, consumer and pawn lending and other operating and acquisition activities. For the six months ended December 31, 2011, cash and cash equivalents increased $7.0 million, which is net of a $9.3 million decrease as a result of the effect of exchange rate changes on foreign cash and cash equivalents. However, as these foreign cash accounts are maintained in Canada and Europe in local currency, there is little, if any, actual diminution in value from changes in currency rates, and as a result, the cash balances are available on a local currency basis to fund the daily operations of the Canada and Europe business units.

Consumer loans, net increased by $26.2 million to $188.1 million at December 31, 2011 from $161.9 million at June 30, 2011. Consumer loans, gross increased by $29.8 million and the related allowance for loan losses increased by $3.6 million. A significant factor for the increase in consolidated consumer loans balances is related to our acquisition of Risicum in July of 2011, as well as an increase in internet loans in the United Kingdom. On a segment basis, the Europe business unit showed an increase in its consumer loans, gross balances of $25.6 million. On a constant currency basis, the consumer loans, gross balances in Europe increased by $32.3 million. As noted, the increase in the Europe consumer loans balances was primarily the result of the Risicum acquisition, with the remaining increase primarily due to the growth in internet loans in the United Kingdom. The Canadian business unit showed an increase in their consumer loans, gross balances of $1.5 million. On a constant currency basis, the Canadian business had an increase in consumer loans, gross balances of $3.6 million. The United States Retail business had an increase of $2.7 million in their consumer loans, gross balances.

In constant dollars, the allowance for loan losses increased by $4.8 million and increased as a percentage of the outstanding principal balance to 9.2% at December 31, 2011 from 8.5% at June 30, 2011. The following factors impacted this area:

•

In constant currency, Europe’s ratio of allowance for loan losses as a percentage of consumer loans outstanding has increased from 11.9% at June 30, 2011 to 12.3% at December 31, 2011, primarily as a result of higher loss reserves applied to our legacy and internet loan business, partially offset by lower loss reserves applied to the recently acquired Risicum consumer loan portfolio. The growth of the loan portfolio in Poland, which carries a higher loan loss reserve percentage than our legacy single payment portfolio, continues to slightly increase the overall loan loss reserve as a percentage of gross consumer loans receivable.

•

In constant currency, the ratio of allowance for loan losses in Canada as a percentage of consumer loans outstanding has increased from 1.6% at June 30, 2011 to 2.1% at December 31, 2011.

•

The ratio of the allowance for loan losses related to United States Retail short-term consumer loans increased slightly from 1.8% at June 30, 2011 to 1.9% at December 31, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, our principal sources of cash have been from operations, borrowings under our credit facilities and issuance of debt and equity securities. We anticipate that our primary uses of cash will be to provide working capital, finance capital expenditures, meet debt service requirements, fund company originated consumer loans and pawn loans, finance store expansion, finance acquisitions and finance the expansion of our products and services.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $22.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $42.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010. The increase in net cash from operations was primarily the result of the growth in revenue and operating margin, as well as reduced payments related to settled Canadian class action litigation, partially offset by a significant increase in the growth of the loans receivable portfolio.

Net cash used in investing activities was $98.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $93.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010. Our investing activities primarily relate to acquisitions, purchases of property and equipment for our stores and investments in technology. The actual amount of capital expenditures each year depends in part upon the number of new stores opened or acquired and the number of stores remodeled. During the six months ended December 31, 2011, we made capital expenditures of $30.0 million and acquisitions of $68.0 million. During the six months ended December 31, 2010, we made capital expenditures of $18.1 million and acquisitions of $75.1 million. We currently anticipate that our capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, will aggregate approximately $55.0 million to $60.0 million during our fiscal year ending June 30, 2012.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $91.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011, compared to net cash used by financing activities of $0.1 million for the six months ended December 30, 2010. The cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2011 was primarily a result of a net drawdown on our revolving credit facilities of $89.3 million to finance acquisitions during the period, and from the proceeds from stock options exercised.

Senior Secured Credit Facility On March 3, 2011, we replaced our existing credit facility with a new senior secured credit facility with a syndicate of lenders, the administrative agent for which is Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. The new facility consists of a $200.0 million global revolving credit facility, with the potential to further increase our available borrowings under the facility to $250.0 million. Availability under the global revolving credit facility is based on a borrowing base comprised of cash and consumer receivables in our U.S. and Canadian operations, our U.K.-based retail and our U.K. retail store-based pawn loan receivables. There is a sublimit for borrowings in the United States based on the lesser of the U.S. borrowing base under the global revolving credit facility or $75 million.

Borrowings under the global revolving credit facility may be denominated in United States Dollars, British Pounds Sterling, Euros or Canadian Dollars, as well as any other currency as may be approved by the lenders. Interest on borrowings under the global revolving credit facility is derived from a pricing grid primarily based on our consolidated leverage ratio, which currently allows borrowing at an interest rate equal to the applicable London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or Canadian Dollar Offer Rate (based on the currency of borrowing) plus 400 basis points, or in the case of borrowings in U.S. Dollars only, at the alternate base rate, which is the greater of the prime rate and the federal funds rate plus ½ of 1% plus 300 basis points. The global revolving credit facility will mature on March 1, 2015.

On December 23, 2011, we entered into an amendment to the senior secured credit agreement governing our global revolving credit facility which increases our flexibility with respect to business operations, transactions and reporting.

As of December 31, 2011, there was $154.3 million outstanding under our global revolving credit facility.

The senior secured credit agreement governing our global revolving credit facility contains customary covenants, representations and warranties and events of default. As of December 31, 2011, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

Scandinavian Credit Facilities As a result of the December 2010 acquisition of Sefina, we assumed borrowings under Sefina’s existing credit facilities. The loans are secured primarily by the value of Sefina’s pawn pledge stock. The borrowings consist of a working capital facility consisting of two loans of SEK 185 million and SEK 55 million ($34.9 million at December 31, 2011). These loans are due July 2013 and December 2015, respectively, at an interest rate of the lender’s borrowing rate plus 160 basis points (4.68% at December 31, 2011). Also with the same Scandinavian bank, we assumed an overdraft facility due December 31, 2011 with a commitment of up to SEK 85 million. In December 2011, this overdraft facility was extended to December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2011, SEK 20 million ($2.9 million) was outstanding at the lender’s borrowing rate plus 170 basis points (4.78% at December 31, 2011). We also assumed a Euro overdraft facility with another Scandinavian bank maturing in April 2012 with a commitment of up to EUR 17.5 million, of which EUR 16.0 million ($20.8 million) was outstanding as of December 31, 2011 at a rate of Euribor plus 195 basis points (2.59% at December 31, 2011).

Other Debt. Other debt consists of $8.3 million of debt assumed as part of the Suttons & Robertsons acquisition in April 2010, consisting of a $2.8 million revolving loan and a $5.5 million term loan, each of which will mature in September 2012.

Long-Term Debt. As of December 31, 2011, our long term debt consisted of the following: (i) $597.1 million of 10.375% senior notes due 2016, which we refer to as the 2016 notes, issued by our Canadian subsidiary, National Money Mart Company: (ii) $42.0 million of our 2.875% convertible notes due 2027, which we refer to as the 2027 notes; (iii) $94.1 million of our 3.00% convertible notes due 2028, which we refer to as the 2028 notes; and (iv) $34.9 million of borrowings under Sefina’s revolving credit facility and bank loans which we assumed in the acquisition.

The 2016 notes bear interest at the rate of 10.375% per year, payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on June 15, 2010, and will mature on December 15, 2016. The 2016 notes are guaranteed by DFC Global Corp. and certain of its wholly owned direct and indirect U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries.

The 2027 notes bear interest at the rate of 2.875% per year, payable in cash in arrears on June 30 and December 31 of each year beginning on December 31, 2007, and will mature on June 30, 2027, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The 2028 notes bear interest at a rate of 3.00% per annum, payable in cash in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year beginning on April 1, 2010, and will mature on April 1, 2028, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The 2027 notes and the 2028 notes are general unsecured obligations of DFC Global Corp. and rank equally in right of payment with all of its other existing and future obligations that are unsecured and unsubordinated.

A full description of the terms of our indebtedness and related requirements is contained in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

Future Obligations

Our future obligations include minimum lease payments under operating leases, principal repayments on our debt obligations and obligations under Canadian class action agreements payable in cash. Operating leases are scheduled payments on existing store and other administrative leases. These leases typically have initial terms of five years and may contain provisions for renewal options, additional rental charges based on revenue and payment of real estate taxes and common area charges.

We entered into the commitments described above and other contractual obligations in the ordinary course of business as a source of funds for asset growth and asset/liability management and to meet required capital needs. Our principal future obligations and commitments as of December 31 2011, excluding periodic interest payments, include the following (in millions):


	Total		Less than 1 Year		1-3 Years		4-5 Years		After 5 Years

(1)	Holders have the right to require DFC to purchase all or a portion of the Notes on December 31, 2012 for a purchase price payable in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount outstanding.

(2)	Holders have the right to require DFC to purchase all or a portion of the Notes on April 1, 2015 for a purchase price payable in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount outstanding.

(3)	For purposes of the table, operating lease obligations include one lease renewal option period for leases with initial lease terms of five years or less.

(4)	Excluded from the table is approximately $8.8 million of additional contingent acquisition payments that are dependent on the operating performance of Sefina.

(5)	Excluded from the table are any potential payments on our cross-currency interest rate swaps which expire in October 2012, as these payments are not fixed and determinable.

We believe that, based on current levels of operations and anticipated improvements in operating results, cash flows from operations and borrowings available under our credit facilities will allow us to fund our liquidity and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future, build de novo stores and effectuate various acquisitions and make payment of interest and principal on our indebtedness. This belief is based upon our historical growth rate and the anticipated benefits we expect from operating efficiencies. We also expect operating expenses to increase, although the rate of increase is expected to be less than the rate of revenue growth for existing stores. Furthermore, we do not believe that additional acquisitions or expansion are necessary to cover our fixed expenses, including debt service.

Seasonality

Our business is seasonal due to the impact of several tax-related services, including cashing tax refund checks, making electronic tax filings and processing applications of refund anticipation loans. Historically, we have generally experienced our highest revenues and earnings during our third fiscal quarter ending March 31, when revenues from these tax-related services peak. Due to the seasonality of our business, results of operations for any fiscal quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved for the full fiscal year. In addition, quarterly results of operations depend significantly upon the timing and amount of revenues and expenses associated with the addition of new stores.

Impact of Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has a material impact on our earnings from operations.

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2010-20, Receivables — Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses . ASU 2010-20 amends Topic 310 to improve the disclosures that an entity provides about the credit quality of its financing receivables and the related allowance for credit losses. As a result of these amendments, an entity is required to disaggregate by portfolio segment or class certain existing disclosures and provide new disclosures about its financing receivables and related allowance for credit losses. These provisions are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. We adopted ASU 2010-20 in our quarter ending December 31, 2010. ASU 2010-20 concerns disclosures only and did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805) — Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations . This standard update clarifies that, when presenting comparative financial statements, SEC registrants should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the current period business combinations had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The update also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. ASU 2010-29 is effective prospectively for material (either on an individual or aggregate basis) business combinations entered into in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2010 with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2010-29 on July 1, 2011. ASU 2010-29 concerns disclosures only and did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) — Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs . This standard update amends certain accounting and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The provisions of ASU 2011-04 are effective for public entities prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We do not believe ASU 2011-04 will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) — Testing Goodwill for Impairment . This standard update amends Topic 350 to give entities the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step impairment test. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. Since ASU 2011-08 only impacts whether or not to perform the two-step impairment test, it will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Generally

In the operations of our subsidiaries and the reporting of our consolidated financial results, we are affected by changes in interest rates and currency translation exchange rates. The principal risks of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices to which we and our subsidiaries are exposed relate to:

•

interest rates on revolving credit facilities; and

•

foreign exchange rates generating translation gains and losses.

We and our subsidiaries have no market risk sensitive instruments entered into for trading purposes, as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP. Information contained in this section relates only to instruments entered into for purposes other than trading.

Interest Rate Risk

Our outstanding indebtedness, and related interest rate risk, is managed centrally by our finance department by implementing the financing strategies approved by our Board of Directors. Our revolving credit facilities carry variable rates of interest. With the repayment of our legacy variable rate term credit facilities during fiscal 2010 with the proceeds of a fixed rate bond issuance without termination of our Canadian cross currency swaps hedging the debt, we are exposed to adverse changes in interest rates through the swap that will likely have an impact on our future consolidated statement of financial position (see the section entitled “Cross Currency Interest Rate Swaps” below).

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Put Options

Operations in Canada and Europe have exposed us to shifts in currency valuations. From time to time, we may elect to purchase put options in order to protect certain earnings in Canada and Europe against the translational impact of foreign currency fluctuations. Out of the money put options may be purchased because they cost less than completely averting risk, and the maximum downside is limited to the difference between the strike price and exchange rate at the date of purchase and the price of the contracts. At December 31, 2011, we did not hold any put options. Historically we have used, and may continue to use, purchased options designated as cash flow hedges to protect against certain of the foreign currency exchange rate risks inherent in our forecasted earnings denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. These cash flow hedges have a duration of less than 12 months. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument are initially recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reported in other expense (income), net on the statement of operations. For options designated as hedges, hedge effectiveness is measured by comparing the cumulative change in the hedge contract with the cumulative change in the hedged item, both of which are based on forward rates.

Canada operations (exclusive of unrealized foreign exchange loss of $29.4 million, provision for litigation settlements of $0.1 million, gain on derivatives not designated as hedges of $12.7 million, and loss on store closings of $0.1 million) accounted for approximately 34.2% of consolidated pre-tax earnings for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 49.4% of consolidated pre-tax earnings (exclusive of unrealized foreign exchange gains of $34.1 million, loss on derivatives not designated as hedges of $24.6 million, and proceeds from litigation settlements of $4.1 million) for the six months ended December 31, 2010. Europe operations (exclusive of unrealized foreign exchange loss of $1.0 million) accounted for approximately 72.9% of consolidated pre-tax earnings for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 64.1% of consolidated pre-tax earnings for the six months ended December 31, 2010. U.S. operations (exclusive of unrealized foreign exchange gain of $0.3 million, provision for litigation settlements of $3.9 million and loss on store closings of $0.1 million) accounted for approximately (7.1)% of consolidated pre-tax earnings for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and (13.5)% of consolidated pre-tax earnings (exclusive of unrealized foreign exchange loss of $1.8 million, provision for litigation settlements of $0.1 million, and loss on store closings of $0.3 million) for the six months ended December 31, 2010. As currency exchange rates change, translation of the financial results of the Canada and Europe operations into U.S. dollars will be impacted. Changes in exchange rates have resulted in cumulative translation adjustments decreasing our net assets by $4.2 million. These gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income.

We estimate that a 10.0% change in foreign exchange rates by itself would have impacted reported pre-tax earnings from continuing operations (exclusive of unrealized foreign exchange loss of $30.4 million, gain on derivatives not designated as hedges of $12.7 million, provision for litigation settlements of $0.2 million, and loss on store closings of $0.2 million) by approximately $7.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and $4.2 million (exclusive of the unrealized foreign exchange gain of $34.2 million, loss on derivatives not designated as hedges of $24.6 million, and proceeds from litigation settlements of $4.1 million) for the six months ended December 31, 2010. This impact represents 10.7% of our consolidated foreign pre-tax earnings for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 11.3% of our consolidated foreign pre-tax earnings for the six months ended December 31, 2010. It should also be noted that a 10% change in the Canadian exchange rate would additionally impact reported pre-tax earnings from continuing operations by approximately $32.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 related to the translational effect of net Canadian liabilities denominated in a currency other than the Canadian Dollar.

Cross-Currency Interest Rate Swaps

In December 2006, in connection with our term loans under our prior credit facility, we entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps to hedge against the changes in cash flows of our legacy U.K. and Canadian term loans denominated in a currency other than our foreign subsidiaries’ functional currency.

In December 2006, our U.K. subsidiary, Dollar Financial U.K. Limited, entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps with notional amounts of GBP 21.3 million and GBP 20.4 million that were originally scheduled to mature in October 2012. On May 7, 2009, our U.K. subsidiary terminated both of the cross-currency interest rate swaps hedging variable-rate borrowings. As a result, we discontinued prospectively hedge accounting on these cross currency swaps. As a result of the Company repaying its U.K. term loans the Company accelerated the reclassification of amounts in other comprehensive income to earnings as a missed forecasted transaction. The accelerated amount was $3.9 million and included in Loss on Extinguishment of Debt in fiscal 2010.

In December 2006, our Canadian subsidiary, National Money Mart Company, entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts of CAD 339.9 million that mature in October 2012. Under the terms of the swaps, National Money Mart Company pays Canadian dollars at a blended rate of 7.12% per annum and National Money Mart Company receives a rate of the three-month LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum on $295.0 million.

On December 23, 2009, we used a portion of the net proceeds of our $600 million Senior Note Offering to prepay $350 million of the then outstanding $368.6 million term loans, and subsequently paid the remaining $18.6 million balance in cash. As a result, we discontinued prospectively hedge accounting on our Canadian cross-currency swaps. In accordance with the provisions of FASB Codification Topic Derivatives and Hedging, we will continue to report the net gain or loss related to the discontinued cash flow hedge in other comprehensive income and will subsequently reclassify such amounts into earnings over the remaining original term of the derivative when the hedged forecasted transactions are recognized in earnings.

On a quarterly basis, the cross-currency interest rate swap agreements call for the exchange of 0.25% of the original notional amounts without giving effect to the $350 million prepayment. Upon maturity, these cross-currency interest rate swap agreements call for the exchange of the remaining notional amounts. Prior to December 23, 2009, these derivative contracts were designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Because these derivatives were designated as cash flow hedges, we recorded the effective portion of the after-tax gain or loss in other comprehensive income, which is subsequently reclassified to earnings in the same period that the hedged transactions affect earnings. Subsequent to December 23, 2009, the swaps are no longer designated as hedges therefore we record foreign exchange re-measurement gains and losses related to the term loans and also record the changes in fair value of the cross-currency swaps each period in loss/gain on derivatives not designated as hedges in our consolidated statements of operations. The aggregate fair market value of the cross-currency interest rate swaps at December 31, 2011 is a liability of $48.5 million and is included in fair value of derivatives on the balance sheet. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2011 we recorded a $8.1 million mark to market loss and $12.7 million mark to market gain, respectively, in the statement of operations related to the ineffective portion of these cash flow hedges.

On January 14, 2010, we entered into an amendment to the ISDA Master Agreement governing the outstanding cross-currency interest rate swap relating to a notional amount of CAD 184.0 million to which our Canadian operating subsidiary, National Money Mart Company, is a party to hedge its variable-rate Canadian term loans denominated in U.S. dollars. The amendment eliminates financial covenants and allows the underlying swap to remain outstanding (with a similar collateral package in place) in the event that we elect to terminate our revolving credit facility prior to the maturity of the swap in October 2012. On February 8, 2010, we entered into an amendment to the ISDA Master Agreement governing the outstanding cross-currency interest rate swap relating to a notional amount of CAD 145.7 million to which National Money Mart Company is a party to hedge its variable-rate Canadian term loans denominated in U.S. dollars. The amendment includes financial covenants identical to those in the Company’s amended credit facility

and allows the underlying swap to remain outstanding (with a similar collateral package in place) in the event that we elect to terminate our revolving credit facility prior to the maturity of the swap in October 2012. We agreed to pay a higher rate on both of the interest rate swaps in order to secure these amendments.

Non-designated Hedges of Commodity Risk

In the normal course of business, we maintain inventories of gold at our pawn shops. From time to time, we enter into derivative financial instruments to manage the price risk associated with forecasted gold inventory levels. Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage our exposure to commodity price risk but do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements of the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB Codification. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in earnings. As of December 31, 2011, our subsidiary in the United Kingdom had five outstanding gold collars with an aggregate notional amount of 4,500 ounces of gold bullion.

Item 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President, Finance, Chief Accounting Officer and Corporate Controller, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President, Finance, Chief Accounting Officer and Corporate Controller have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President, Finance, Chief Accounting Officer and Corporate Controller, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

DFC acquired Sefina Finance AB and MEM on December 31, 2010 and April 1, 2011, respectively. These companies are included in DFC’s fiscal 2011 financial statements as of the date of the acquisition. Sefina and MEM accounted for approximately 19.1% and 39.1% of DFC’s net income for the six months ended December 31, 2011. Sefina and MEM represented 9.5% and 13.1% of DFC’s consolidated total assets at December 31, 2011. The internal control over financial reporting of Sefina and MEM have been included in a formal evaluation of effectiveness of DFC’s disclosure controls and procedures. DFC has expanded its consolidation and disclosure controls and procedures to include the acquired companies, and DFC continues to assess the current internal control over financial reporting at Sefina and MEM. Risks related to the increased account balances are partially mitigated by DFC’s expanded controls.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

DFC’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Sefina and MEM acquisitions created a material change to its internal control over financial reporting. Sefina and MEM are significant subsidiaries for DFC that were included in DFC’s internal control over financial reporting process and internal control structure for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The aforementioned principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that there were no other changes in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting during the registrant’s first fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
