NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2009 and 2008

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements of the Company at June 30, 2009, and for the three months then ended were prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of items of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at June 30, 2009, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, have been included. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other interim period.

Certain reclassification entries have been made for fiscal 2009 to conform with fiscal 2010 presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income or net income.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, included in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report to Shareholders.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES

Change in Accounting Principle

In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments that May be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP APB 14-1”). FSP APB 14-1 applies to any convertible debt instrument that at conversion may be settled wholly or partly with cash, requires cash-settleable convertibles to be separated into their debt and equity components at issuance and prohibits the use of the fair-value option for such instruments. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for the first fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2008 and must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented with a cumulative effect adjustment being made as of the earliest period presented. The Company adopted FSP APB 14-1 effective April 1, 2009. The impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements is as follows:

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

Business Combinations

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, which replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. SFAS 141R also requires acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs that the acquirer expected, but was not obligated to incur at the acquisition date, to be recognized separately from the business combination. In addition, SFAS 141R amends SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to require the acquirer to recognize changes in the amount of its deferred tax benefits that are recognizable because of a business combination either in income from continuing operations in the period of the combination or directly in contributed capital. The Company adopted SFAS 141R effective April 1, 2009 with no significant impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements. However, SFAS 141R could have a significant effect on future acquisitions, if any.

Subsequent Events

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued or available to be issued (“subsequent events”). SFAS 165 requires disclosure of the date through which the entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. For public entities, this is the date the financial statements are issued. SFAS 165 does not apply to subsequent events or transactions that are within the scope of other GAAP and will not result in significant changes in the subsequent events reported by the Company. SFAS 165 is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company implemented SFAS 165 during the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The Company evaluated for subsequent events through August 3, 2009, the issuance date of the Company’s financial statements, see Note 13 – Subsequent Event.

Useful Life of Intangible Assets

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 142-3,”Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP FAS 142-3”). FSP FAS 142-3 applies to all recognized intangible assets and its guidance is restricted to estimating the useful life of recognized intangible assets. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for the first fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2008 and must be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The Company adopted FSP FAS 142-3 effective April 1, 2009 with no significant impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that Are Not Orderly

FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-4 (“FSP FAS 157-4”), “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that Are Not Orderly,” provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. FSP FAS 157-4 also provides guidance for determining when a transaction is an orderly one. The Company adopted during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 FSP FAS 157-4 and the adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB Staff Position No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 (“FSP FAS 107-1”), “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” amends SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” and APB Opinion No. 28 to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods as well as in annual financial statements. The Company adopted FSP FAS 107-1 during the quarter ended June 30, 2009. See Note 3.

Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments

FASB Staff Position FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 (“FSP FAS 115-2”), “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. FSP FAS 115-2 is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Instruments Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock

In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF 07-5”). EITF 07-5 provides a new two-step model to be applied to any freestanding financial instrument or embedded feature that has all the characteristics of a derivative in paragraphs 6-9 of Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” (“SFAS 133”) in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception. It also adds clarity on the impact of foreign currency denominated strike prices and market-based employee stock option valuation instruments on the evaluation. EITF 07-5 also applies to any freestanding financial instrument that is potentially settled in an entity’s own stock, regardless of whether the instrument has all the characteristics of a derivative in paragraphs 6-9 of SFAS 133, for purposes of determining whether the instrument is within the scope of EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”. The company adopted during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 EITF 07-5. The adoption of EITF 07-5 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE

Effective April 1, 2008, the first day of fiscal 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 ("SFAS 157"), “Fair Value Measurements” for financial assets and liabilities, as well as any other assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis in financial statements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements in which the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has previously concluded that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities which were previously deferred under the provisions of FSP FAS 157-2.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are grouped in three levels. The levels prioritize the inputs used to measure the fair value of the assets or liabilities. These levels are:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in market that are less active.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

The following financial liabilities were measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2009:

	Fair Value Measurements Using
	June 30,		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Significant Unobservable Inputs
	2009		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Interest rate swaps	$	1,968,702	$	-	$	1,968,702	$	-

The Company’s interest rate swap was valued using the “income approach” valuation technique. This method used valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount. The measurement was based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts.

Fair Value of Long-Term Debt

The book value and estimated fair value of our long-term debt was as follows (in thousands):

	June 30,		March 31,
	2009		2009

Book value:
Senior Note Payable	$	137,660		113,310
Convertible Notes		85,000		95,000
	$	222,660		208,310

Estimate fair value:
Senior Note Payable	$	137,660		113,310
Convertible Notes		58,182		61,702
	$	195,842		175,012

The difference between the estimated fair value of long-term debt compared with its historical cost reported in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009 relates primarily to market quotations for the Company’s 3% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due in 2011.

There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non recurring basis during the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

NOTE 4 – COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

The Company applies the provisions of FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” The following summarizes accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of June 30:

	2009			2008
Balance at beginning of year	$	(4,229,663	)		169,503
Unrealized gain from foreign exchange
translation adjustment		1,612,713			461,428
Total accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)	$	(2,616,950	)		630,931

NOTE 5 – ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The following is a summary of the changes in the allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated (unaudited):

	Three months ended June 30,
	2009			2008
Balance at beginning of period	$	38,020,770			33,526,147

Provision for loan losses		20,428,263			17,856,913
Loan losses		(19,715,351	)		(18,173,143	)
Recoveries		1,949,138			1,748,113
Translation adjustments		103,717			28,884
Allowance on acquired loans		-			301,147
Balance at end of period	$	40,786,537			35,288,061

The Company adopted Statement of Position No. 03-3 ("SOP 03-3"), "Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer," which prohibits carry over or creation of valuation allowances in the initial accounting of all loans acquired in a transfer that are within the scope of this SOP. The Company believes that a loan has shown deterioration if it is over 60 days delinquent. The Company believes that loans acquired since the adoption of SOP 03-3 have not shown evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination, and therefore, are not within the scope of SOP 03-3 because the Company did not pay consideration for, or record, acquired loans over 60 days delinquent. Loans acquired that are more than 60 days past due are included in the scope of SOP 03-3 and therefore, subsequent refinances or restructures of these loans would not be accounted for as a new loan.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded an adjustment of approximately $301,000 to the allowance for loan losses in connection with acquisitions in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This adjustment represents the allowance for loan losses on acquired loans which do not meet the scope of SOP 03-3. No adjustment was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

NOTE 6 – AVERAGE SHARE INFORMATION

The following is a summary of the basic and diluted average common shares outstanding:

	Three months ended June 30,
	2009		2008
Basic:
Average common shares outstanding (denominator)		16,225,294		16,270,939

Diluted:
Average common shares outstanding		16,225,294		16,270,939
Dilutive potential common shares		125,863		302,161
Average diluted shares outstanding (denominator)		16,351,157		16,573,100

Options to purchase 317,909 and 38,639 shares of common stock at various prices were outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options are anti-dilutive. The shares related to the convertible senior notes payable (1,762,519) and related warrants were also not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect of such instruments was anti-dilutive.

NOTE 7 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Option Plans

The Company has a 1992 Stock Option Plan, a 1994 Stock Option Plan, a 2002 Stock Option Plan, a 2005 Stock Option Plan and a 2008 Stock Option Plan for the benefit of certain directors, officers, and key employees. Under these plans, 6,010,000 shares of authorized common stock have been reserved for issuance pursuant to grants approved by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors. Stock options granted under these plans have a maximum duration of 10 years, may be subject to certain vesting requirements, which are generally one year for directors and between two and five years for officers and key employees, and are priced at the market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant of the option. At June 30, 2009, there were 823,023 shares available for grant under the plans.

Effective April 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123-R”), using the modified prospective transition method, and did not retroactively adjust results from prior periods. Under this transition method, stock option compensation is recognized as an expense over the remaining unvested portion of all stock option awards granted prior to April 1, 2006, based on the fair values estimated at grant date in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123. The Company has applied the Black-Scholes valuation model in determining the fair value of the stock option awards. Compensation expense is recognized only for those options expected to vest, with forfeitures estimated based on historical experience and future expectations.

There were no option grants during the quarters ended June 30, 2009 or June 30, 2008.

Option activity for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was as follows:

	Weighted					Weighted
	Average					Average
	Exercise					Remaining		Aggregated
	Shares			Price		Contractual Term		Intrinsic Value

Options outstanding, beginning of year		1,390,900		$	25.00
Granted		-			-
Exercised		(3,600	)		14.05
Forfeited		(1,150	)		46.29
Options outstanding, end of period		1,386,150		$	25.01		6.94	$	3,200,723
Options exercisable, end of period		603,350		$	22.88		5.25	$	2,278,898

The aggregate intrinsic value reflected in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the closing stock price on June 30, 2009 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of June 30, 2009. This amount will change as the stock’s market price changes. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the period ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was as follows:

		2009				2008
Three months ended		$	53,766				1,705,060

As of June 30, 2009 total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock options amounted to approximately $5.6 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.26 years.

Restricted Stock

On April 30, 2009 and May 11, 2009 the Company granted 15,000 shares and 3,000 shares of restricted stock (which are equity classified), respectively, with a grant date fair value of $29.68 and $20.41, respectively, per share to independent directors and a certain officer. All of these grants vested immediately.

On November 10, 2008, the Company granted 50,000 shares of restricted stock (which are equity classified), with a grant date fair value of $16.85 per share, to certain executive officers. One-third of the restricted stock vested immediately and one-third will vest on the first and second anniversary of the grant. On that same date, the Company granted an additional 29,100 shares of restricted stock (which are equity classified), with a grant date fair value of $16.85 per share, to the same executive officers. The 29,100 shares will vest in three years based on the Company’s compounded annual EPS growth according to the following schedule:

		Compounded
Vesting		Annual
Percentage		EPS Growth
100%		15% or higher
67%		12% - 14.99%
33%		10% - 11.99%
0%		Below 10%

On May 19, 2008 the Company granted 12,000 shares of restricted stock (which are equity classified) with a grant date fair value of $43.67 per share to its independent directors and a certain officer. One-half of the restricted stock vested immediately and the other half vested on the first anniversary of the grant.

On November 28, 2007, the Company granted 20,800 shares of restricted stock (which are equity classified), with a grant date fair value of $30.94 per share, to certain executive officers. One-third of the restricted stock vested immediately and one-third will vest on the first and second anniversary of grant. On that same date, the Company granted an additional 15,150 shares of restricted stock (which are equity classified), with a grant date fair value of $30.94 per share, to the same executive officers. The 15,150 shares will vest in three years based on the Company’s compounded annual EPS growth according to the following schedule:

		Compounded
Vesting		Annual
Percentage		EPS Growth
100%		15% or higher
67%		12% - 14.99%
33%		10% - 11.99%
0%		Below 10%

On November 12, 2007, the Company granted 8,000 shares of restricted stock (which are equity classified), with a grant date fair value of $28.19 per share, to certain officers. One-third of the restricted stock vested immediately and one-third will vest on the first and second anniversary of grant.

Compensation expense related to restricted stock is based on the number of shares expected to vest and the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date. The Company recognized $760,495 and $511,324, respectively, of compensation expense for the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 related to restricted stock, which is included as a component of general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. All shares are expected to vest.

As of June 30, 2009, there was approximately $1.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards granted, which is expected to be recognized over the next two years.

A summary of the status of the Company’s restricted stock as of June 30, 2009, and changes during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, is presented below:

	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Fair Value at Grant Date
Outstanding at March 31, 2009		80,246		$	22.94
Granted during the period		18,000			28.14
Vested during the period		(24,000	)		32.02
Cancelled during the period		(1,297	)		19.75
Outstanding at June 30, 2009		72,949		$	21.29

Total share-based compensation included as a component of net income during the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was as follows:

	Three months ended
	June 30,
	2009		2008
Share-based compensation related to equity classified units:
Share-based compensation related to stock options	$	742,341	$	950,145
Share-based compensation related to restricted stock units		760,495		511,324

Total share-based compensation related to equity classified awards	$	1,502,836	$	1,461,469

NOTE 8 – ACQUISITIONS

The following table sets forth the acquisition activity of the Company for the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:

	2009		2008

Number of offices purchased		1		11
Merged into existing offices		1		4

Purchase Price	$	511,677	$	7,285,276
Tangible assets:
Net loans		420,547		6,351,772
Furniture, fixtures & equipment		-		28,500
Other		-		450

Excess of purchase prices over carrying value of net tangible assets	$	91,130	$	904,554

Customer lists		89,130		837,221
Non-compete agreements		2,000		41,000
Goodwill		-		26,333

Total intangible assets	$	91,130	$	904,554

The Company evaluates each acquisition to determine if the acquired enterprise meets the definition of a business. Those acquired enterprises that meet the definition of a business are accounted for as a business combination under SFAS 141(R) and all other acquisitions are accounted for as asset purchases. All acquisitions have been from independent third parties.

When the acquisition results in a new office, the Company records the transaction as a business combination, since the office acquired will continue to generate loans. The Company typically retains the existing employees and the office location. The purchase price is allocated to the estimated fair value of the tangible assets acquired and to the estimated fair value of the identified intangible assets acquired (generally non-compete agreements and customer lists). The remainder is allocated to goodwill. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, no acquisitions were recorded as business combinations.

When the acquisition is of a portfolio of loans only, the Company records the transaction as an asset purchase. In an asset purchase, no goodwill is recorded. The purchase price is allocated to the estimated fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, one acquisition was recorded as asset acquisition.

The Company’s acquisitions include tangible assets (generally loans and furniture and equipment) and intangible assets (generally non-compete agreements, customer lists, and goodwill), both of which are recorded at their fair values, which are estimated pursuant to the processes described below.

Acquired loans are valued at the net loan balance. Given the short-term nature of these loans, generally four months, and that these loans are subject to continual re-pricing at current rates, management believes the net loan balances approximate their fair value.

Furniture and equipment are valued at the specific purchase price as agreed to by both parties at the time of acquisition, which management believes approximates their fair values.

Non-compete agreements are valued at the stated amount paid to the other party for these agreements, which the Company believes approximates the fair value. The fair value of the customer lists is based on a valuation model that utilizes the Company’s historical data to estimate the value of any acquired customer lists. In a business combination the remaining excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the tangible assets, customer list, and non-compete agreements is allocated to goodwill. The offices the Company acquires are small privately owned offices, which do not have sufficient historical data to determine attrition. The Company believes that the customers acquired have the same characteristics and perform similarly to its customers. Therefore, the company utilized the attrition patterns of its customers when developing the method. This method is re-evaluated periodically.

Customer lists are allocated at an office level and are evaluated for impairment at an office level when a triggering event occurs, in accordance with SFAS 144. If a triggering event occurs, the impairment loss to the customer list is generally the remaining unamortized customer list balance. In most acquisitions, the original fair value of the customer list allocated to an office is less than $100,000 and management believes that in the event a triggering event were to occur, the impairment loss to an unamortized customer list would be immaterial.

The results of all acquisitions have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the respective acquisition dates. The pro forma impact of these purchases as though they had been acquired at the beginning of the periods presented would not have a material effect on the results of operations as reported.

NOTE 9 – CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES

On October 10, 2006, the Company issued $110 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.0% convertible senior subordinated notes due October 1, 2011 (the “Convertible Notes”) to qualified institutional brokers in accordance with Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Interest on the Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing April 1, 2007. The Convertible Notes are the Company’s direct, senior subordinated, unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured senior subordinated debt of the Company, senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future subordinated debt and junior to all of the Company’s existing and future senior debt. The Convertible Notes are structurally junior to the liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Convertible Notes are convertible prior to maturity, subject to certain conditions described below, at an initial conversion rate of 16.0229 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $62.41 per share, subject to adjustment. Upon conversion, the Company will pay cash up to the principal amount of notes converted and deliver shares of its common stock to the extent the daily conversion value exceeds the proportionate principal amount based on a 30 trading-day observation period.

Holders may convert the Convertible Notes prior to July 1, 2011 only if one or more of the following conditions are satisfied:

During any fiscal quarter commencing after December 31, 2006, if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 120% of the applicable conversion price on such last trading day;

During the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per note for each day of such ten consecutive trading day period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the applicable conversion rate on each such day; or

The occurrence of specified corporate transactions.

If the Convertible Notes are converted in connection with certain fundamental changes that occur prior to October 1, 2011, the Company may be obligated to pay an additional make-whole premium with respect to the Convertible Notes converted. If the Company undergoes certain fundamental changes, holders of Convertible Notes may require the Company to purchase the Convertible Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes purchased plus accrued interest to, but excluding, the purchase date.

Holders may also surrender their Convertible Notes for conversion anytime on or after July 1, 2011 until the close of business on the third business day immediately preceding the maturity date, regardless of whether any of the foregoing conditions have been satisfied.

The aggregate underwriting commissions and other debt issuance costs incurred with respect to the issuance of the Convertible Notes were approximately $3.6 million and are being amortized over the period the convertible senior notes are outstanding.

Convertible Notes Hedge Strategy

Concurrent and in connection with the sale of the Convertible Notes, the Company purchased call options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the conversion rate as of the date the options are exercised for the Convertible Notes, at a price of $62.41 per share. The cost of the call options totaled $24.6 million. The Company also sold warrants to the same counterparties to purchase from the Company an aggregate of 1,762,519 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $73.97 per share and received net proceeds from the sale of these warrants of $16.2 million. Taken together, the call option and warrant agreements increased the effective conversion price of the Convertible Notes to $73.97 per share. The call options and warrants must be settled in net shares. On the date of settlement, if the market price per share of the Company’s common stock is above $73.97 per share, the Company will be required to deliver shares of its common stock representing the value of the call options and warrants in excess of $73.97 per share.

The warrants have a strike price of $73.97 and are generally exercisable at anytime. The Company issued and sold the warrants in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1993, as amended, by virtue of section 4(2) thereof. There were no underwriting commissions or discounts in connection with the sale of the warrants.

In accordance with EITF. No. 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, the Company’s Own Stock.” The Company accounted for the call options and warrants as a net reduction in additional paid in capital, and is not required to recognize subsequent changes in fair value of the call options and warrants in its consolidated financial statements.

On April 1, 2009, we adopted FSP APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement), (FSP APB 14-1). FSP APB 14-1 requires the convertible debt to be separated between its liability and equity components, in a manner that reflects our non-convertible debt borrowing rate, determined to be 8.7% at the time of the issuance of the convertible notes, and must be applied retroactively to all periods presented. See Note 2 for disclosure about the financial statement impact of our adoption of FSP APB 14-1.

The carrying amounts of the debt and equity components are as follows (in thousands):

	June 30,			March 31,			June 30,
	2009			2009			2008

Face value of convertible debt	$	85,000			95,000			110,000
Unamortized discount		(9,097	)		(11,268	)		(16,651	)
Net carrying amount of debt component	$	75,903			83,732			93,349

Carrying amount of equity component	$	22,933			23,359			23,696

For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the effective interest rate on the liability component was 8.7% and interest expense relating to both the contractual interest coupon and amortization of the discount on the liability component was $1.7 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Due to the combination of put, call and conversion options that are part of the terms of the convertible note agreement, the remaining discount on the liability component will be amortized over 16 months.

NOTE 10 – EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT

In May 2009, the Company repurchased, in a privately negotiated transaction, $10 million of its Convertible Notes at an average discount to face value of approximately 32.5%. The Company paid approximately $6.8 million and recorded a gain of approximately $2.4 million, which was partially offset by the write-off of $165,000 of deferred financing costs pre-tax associated with the repurchase and cancellation of the Convertible Notes. As of June 30, 2009, $85.0 million principal amount of the Convertible Notes was outstanding.

NOTE 11 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

On December 8, 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $20 million to economically hedge a portion of the cash flows from its floating rate revolving credit facility. Under the terms of the interest rate swap, the Company pays a fixed rate of 2.4% on the $20 million notional amount and receives payments from a counterparty based on the 1 month LIBOR rate for a term ending December 8, 2011. Interest rate differentials paid or received under the swap agreement are recognized as adjustments to interest expense.

On October 5, 2005, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $30 million to economically hedge a portion of the cash flows from its floating rate revolving credit facility. Under the terms of the interest rate swap, the Company will pay a fixed rate of 4.755% on the $30 million notional amount and receive payments from a counterparty based on the 1 month LIBOR rate for a term ending October 5, 2010. Interest rate differentials paid or received under the swap agreement are recognized as adjustments to interest expense.

On May 15, 2008, the Company entered into a $10 million foreign currency exchange option to economically hedge its foreign exchange risk relative to the Mexican peso. Under the terms of the option contract, the Company could exchange $10 million U.S. dollars at a rate of 11.0 Mexican pesos per dollar. The option was sold in October 2008 and the Company recorded a $1.5 million net gain.

The fair value of the Company’s interest rate derivative instruments is included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:

	Interest		Foreign Currency
	Rate Swaps		Exchange Option
June 30, 2009:
Accounts payable and accrued expenses	$	1,968,702		-
Fair value of derivative instrument	$	1,968,702		-

June 30, 2008:
Accounts payable and accrued expenses	$	839,734		-
Other assets	$	-		229,000
Fair value of derivative instrument	$	839,734		229,000

Both of the interest rate swaps are currently in liability positions, therefore there is no significant risk of loss related to counterparty credit risk.

The gains (losses) recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as a result of the interest rate swaps and foreign currency exchange option are as follows:

	Quarter Ended
	June 30,			June 30,
	2009			2008
Realized gains (losses):
Interest rate swaps – included as a component of interest expense	$	( 429,312	)		(155,785	)
Foreign currency exchange option – included as a component of other income	$	-			-

Unrealized gains (losses) included as a component of other income
Interest rate swaps	$	474,963			830,884

Foreign currency exchange option	$	-			(52,700	)

The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The purpose of these instruments is to reduce the exposure to variability in future cash flows attributable to a portion of its LIBOR-based borrowings and to reduce variability in foreign cash flows. The Company is currently not accounting for these derivative instruments using the cash flow hedge accounting provisions of SFAS 133; therefore, the changes in fair value of the swap and option are included in earnings as other income or expenses.

By using derivative instruments, the Company is exposed to credit and market risk. Credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty to a derivative instrument will fail to perform, exists to the extent of the fair value gain in a derivative. Market risk is the adverse effect on the financial instruments from a change in interest rates or implied volatility of exchange rates. The Company manages the market risk associated with interest rate contracts and currency options by establishing and monitoring limits as to the types and degree of risk that may be undertaken. The market risk associated with derivatives used for interest rate and foreign currency risk management activities is fully incorporated in the Company’s market risk sensitivity analysis.

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES

We are required to assess whether the earnings of our two Mexican foreign subsidiaries, SWAC and WAC de Mexico, will be permanently reinvested in the respective foreign jurisdiction or if previously untaxed foreign earnings of the Company will no longer be permanently reinvested and thus become taxable in the United States. As of June 30, 2009, the Company has determined that $220,609 of cumulative undistributed net earnings of Servicios World Acceptance Corporation de México, S. de R.L. de C.V. and $215,129 of cumulative undistributed net losses of World Acceptance Corporation de México, S. de R.L. de C.V., as well as the future net earnings and losses of both foreign subsidiaries will be permanently reinvested.

The Company adopted the provision of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, on April 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized a charge of approximately $550,000 to the April 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings. As of June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, the Company had $5,081,795 and $4,715,681 of total gross unrecognized tax benefits including interest, respectively. Of this total, approximately $2,767,467 and $2,747,945, respectively, represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that are permanent in nature and, if recognized, would affect the annual effective tax rate. The increase in the total gross unrecognized tax benefit including interest during the quarter ending June 30, 2009 is primarily attributable to the accrual of another quarter's worth of interest, netted against the release of several positions that have lapsed due to statute expiration.

The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had $950,481 accrued for gross interest, of which $106,825 was a current period expense. The Company has determined that it is possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits related to various state examinations will significantly increase or decrease within twelve months of the reporting date. However, at this time, a reasonable estimate of the range of possible change cannot be made until further correspondence has been conducted with the state taxing authorities.

The Company is subject to U.S. and Mexican income taxes, as well as various other state and local jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2004, although carryforward attributes that were generated prior to 2004 may still be adjusted upon examination by the taxing authorities if they either have been or will be used in a future period. The income tax returns (2001 through 2006) are under examination by a state authority which has completed its examinations and issued a proposed assessment for tax years 2001 and 2006. In consideration of the proposed assessment, the total gross unrecognized tax benefit was increased by $2.7 million in fiscal 2008. At this time, it is too early to predict the final outcome on this tax issue and any future recoverability of this charge. Until the tax issue is resolved, the Company expects to accrue approximately $50,000 per quarter for interest.

NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Subsequent events have been evaluated through August 3, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued. The following is a result of such review.

Effective July 31, 2009, the Company amended its revolving credit facility. The following amendments were made:

Increased the base revolving facility to $213.3 million from $187.0 million.

Added an accordion feature, which will allow the existing bank group or an additional bank to increase the commitment up to an additional $25.0 million.

Eliminated the $30.0 million seasonal revolver.

Extended the term from September 30, 2010 to July 31, 2011.

Increased the permitted investment in Mexico from $35.0 million to $45.0 million.

Adjusted the definition of the “Base Rate” borrowing option to reflect current market convention. The new definition would be the greatest of (i) Agent’s prime commercial rate as in effect on such day, (ii) the sum of the Fed Funds rate for such day plus 1/2 of 1%, and (iii) the LIBOR Quoted Rate for such day plus 1.00% calculated on an actual day/[365/366-day basis] and payable monthly in arrears. LIBOR Quoted Rate shall be, for any day, Reserve adjusted LIBOR based upon LIBOR for an interest period of one month as reported on the LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 a.m. (London, England time) on such day. The spread over the Base Rate option would be 1.00% with a minimum yield of 4%.

Increased the interest rate from LIBOR rate plus 1.80% per annum to LIBOR rate plus 3.0% per annum, with a minimum of 4.0%.

NOTE 14 – LITIGATION

At June 30, 2009, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in various legal actions arising from their normal business activities in which damages in various amounts are claimed. Although the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to such matters cannot be determined, the Company believes that any such liability will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition taken as a whole.

(3) Operating margin is computed as total revenues less provision for loan losses and general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of total revenue.

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2009, Versus

Three Months Ended June 30, 2008

Net income increased to $14.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, or 29.0%, from the three month period ended June 30, 2008. Operating income (revenues less provision for loan losses and general and administrative expenses) increased approximately $4.7 million, or 21.6%, interest expense decreased by 13.8% and income taxes increased by 27.9%.

Total revenues rose to $100.2 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, a 13.4% increase over the $88.4 million for the corresponding quarter of the previous year. This increase was attributable to new offices and an increase in revenues from offices open throughout both quarterly periods. Revenues from the 835 offices open throughout both quarterly periods increased by approximately 8.7%. At June 30, 2009, the Company had 949 offices in operation, an increase of 5 offices from March 31, 2009.

Interest and fee income for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 increased by $8.7 million, or 11.4%, over the same period of the prior year. This increase resulted from an $83.1 million increase, or 13.5%, in average gross loans receivable over the two corresponding periods.

Insurance commissions and other income increased by $3.1 million, or 25.6%, between the two quarterly periods. Insurance commissions increased by approximately $813,000, or 10.7%, during the most recent quarter when compared to the prior year quarter due to the increase in loans in those states where credit insurance is sold in conjunction with the loan. Other income increased by approximately $2.3 million, or 51.3%, over the two corresponding quarters primarily due to the repurchase and cancellation of $10 million face value of the convertible notes, which resulted in a $2.4 million pre-tax gain.

The provision for loan losses during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 increased by $2.6 million, or 14.4%, from the same quarter last year. Although the total amount of delinquencies and charge-offs continued to increase during the first quarter as in the ongoing difficult economic environment, accounts that were 61 days or more past due decreased from 2.9% to 2.8% on a recency basis and remained consistent at 4.0% on a contractual basis when comparing the two quarter end statistics. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average net loans decreased from 14.5% (annualized) during the prior year first quarter to 13.8% (annualized) during the most recent quarter. The 13.8% is more in line with historical charge-off ratios for a first fiscal quarter; for instance, charge-off ratios were 13.9% in June 2005, 13.4% in June 2003 and 13.5% in June 2002.

General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 increased by $4.5 million, or 9.3% over the same quarter of fiscal 2009. Overall, general and administrative expenses, when divided by average open offices, decreased by approximately 1.5% when comparing the two periods. During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company opened 5 branches compared to 34 branches opened or acquired in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The total general and administrative expense as a percent of total revenues decreased from 55.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 to 53.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Interest expense decreased by approximately $498,000 when comparing the two corresponding quarterly periods as a result of a decrease in the average interest rate, offset in part by an increase in the average outstanding debt balance.

The Company’s effective income tax rate decreased slightly to 37.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 from 37.6% for the prior year quarter.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s accounting and reporting policies are in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles and conform to general practices within the finance company industry. Certain accounting policies involve significant judgment by the Company’s management, including the use of estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. As a result, changes in these estimates and assumptions could significantly affect the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The Company considers its policies regarding the allowance for loan losses and share-based compensation to be its most critical accounting policies due to the significant degree of management judgment involved.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company has developed policies and procedures for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses that take into consideration various assumptions and estimates with respect to the loan portfolio. The Company’s assumptions and estimates may be affected in the future by changes in economic conditions, among other factors. Additional information concerning the allowance for loan losses is discussed under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations - Credit Quality” in the Company’s report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company measures compensation cost for share-based awards at fair value and recognizes compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of restricted stock is based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock, and the fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Black-Scholes model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected life, changes to which can materially affect the fair value estimate. In addition, the estimation of share-based awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Company’s current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. The Company considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including types of awards, employee class, and historical experience. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially from the Company’s current estimates.

Income Taxes

Management uses certain assumptions and estimates in determining income taxes payable or refundable, deferred income tax liabilities and assets for events recognized differently in its financial statements and income tax returns, and income tax expense. Determining these amounts requires analysis of certain transactions and interpretation of tax laws and regulations. Management exercises considerable judgment in evaluating the amount and timing of recognition of the resulting income tax liabilities and assets. These judgments and estimates are re-evaluated on a continual basis as regulatory and business factors change.

No assurance can be given that either the tax returns submitted by management or the income tax reported on the Consolidated Financial Statements will not be adjusted by either adverse rulings by the U.S. Tax Court, changes in the tax code, or assessments made by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or state taxing authorities. The Company is subject to potential adverse adjustments, including but not limited to: an increase in the statutory federal or state income tax rates, the permanent non-deductible amounts currently considered deductible either now or in future periods, and the dependency on the generation of future taxable income, including capital gains, in order to ultimately realize deferred income tax assets.

The Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” on April 1, 2007. Under FIN 48, the Company will include the current and deferred tax impact of its tax positions in the financial statements when it is more likely than not (likelihood of greater than 50%) that such positions will be sustained by taxing authorities, with full knowledge of relevant information, based on the technical merits of the tax position. While the Company supports its tax positions by unambiguous tax law, prior experience with the taxing authority, and analysis that considers all relevant facts, circumstances and regulations, management must still rely on assumptions and estimates to determine the overall likelihood of success and proper quantification of a given tax position.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has financed its operations, acquisitions and office expansion through a combination of cash flow from operations and borrowings from its institutional lenders. The Company's primary ongoing cash requirements relate to the funding of new offices and acquisitions, the overall growth of loans outstanding, the repayment of indebtedness and the repurchase of its common stock. As the Company's gross loans receivable increased from $505.8 million at March 31, 2007 to $671.2 million at March 31, 2009, net cash provided by operating activities for fiscal years 2007, 2008 and 2009 was $110.1 million, $136.0 million and $153.9 million, respectively.

The Company believes stock repurchases and debt repurchases to be a viable component of the Company’s long-term financial strategy and an excellent use of excess cash when the opportunity arises. As of August 3, 2009, the Company has $15.0 million in aggregate remaining repurchase capacity under all of the Company’s outstanding stock repurchase authorizations.

The Company plans to open or acquire at least 30 branches in the United States and 15 branches in Mexico during fiscal 2010. Expenditures by the Company to open and furnish new offices averaged approximately $25,000 per office during fiscal 2009. New offices have also required from $100,000 to $400,000 to fund outstanding loans receivable originated during their first 12 months of operation.

The Company acquired no offices and one loan portfolio from a competitor in one state during the first quarter of fiscal 2010. Gross loans receivable purchased in this transaction was approximately $575,000 in the aggregate at the dates of purchase. The Company believes that attractive opportunities to acquire new offices or receivables from its competitors or to acquire offices in communities not currently served by the Company will continue to become available as conditions in local economies and the financial circumstances of owners change.

As discussed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Note 13), as of July 31, 2009, the Company amended its revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks. As of July 31, 2009, the credit facility was increased to $213.3 million, with no seasonal revolving credit commitment, and the expiration date was amended to July 31, 2011. Funds borrowed under the revolving credit facility bear interest, at the Company's option, at either the agent bank's prime rate per annum or the LIBOR rate plus 3.0% per annum with a minimum of 4.0% per annum. Prior to the amendment the borrowing rate was, at the company’s option, at either the agent bank’s prime rate or LIBOR rate plus 1.8%.

At June 30, 2009, the interest rate on borrowings under the revolving credit facility was 3.25%. The Company pays a commitment fee equal to .375% per annum of the daily unused portion of the revolving credit facility. Amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility may not exceed specified percentages of eligible loans receivable. On June 30, 2009, $137.7 million was outstanding under this facility, and there was $49.3 million of unused borrowing availability under the borrowing base limitations.

The Company's credit agreements contain a number of financial covenants, including minimum net worth and fixed charge coverage requirements. The credit agreements also contain certain other covenants, including covenants that impose limitations on the Company with respect to (i) declaring or paying dividends or making distributions on or acquiring common or preferred stock or warrants or options; (ii) redeeming or purchasing or prepaying principal or interest on subordinated debt; (iii) incurring additional indebtedness; and (iv) entering into a merger, consolidation or sale of substantial assets or subsidiaries. The Company believes that it was in compliance with these agreements as of June 30, 2009, and does not believe that these agreements will materially limit its business and expansion strategy.

The Company’s contractual obligations as of June 30, 2009 relating to FIN 48 included unrecognized tax benefits of $4.9 million which are expected to be settled in greater than one year. While the settlement of the obligation is expected to be in excess of one year, the precise timing of the settlement is indeterminable.

The Company believes that cash flow from operations and borrowings under its revolving credit facility or other sources will be adequate to fund the expected cost of opening or acquiring new offices, including funding initial operating losses of new offices and funding loans receivable originated by those offices and the Company's other offices and the scheduled repayment of the other notes payable (for the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future beyond that). Except as otherwise discussed in this report and in Part 1, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009, management is not currently aware of any trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that it believes will or could result in, or are or could be reasonably likely to result in, the Company’s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way. From time to time, the Company has needed and obtained, and expects that it will continue to need on a periodic basis, an increase in the borrowing limits under its revolving credit facility. The Company has successfully obtained such increases in the past, most recently as of July 31, 2009, and anticipates that it will be able to do so in the future as the need arises; however, there can be no assurance that this additional funding will be available (or available on reasonable terms) if and when needed.

Inflation

The Company does not believe that inflation has a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. The primary impact of inflation on the operations of the Company is reflected in increased operating costs. While increases in operating costs would adversely affect the Company's operations, the consumer lending laws of three of the eleven states in which the Company currently operates allow indexing of maximum loan amounts to the Consumer Price Index. These provisions will allow the Company to make larger loans at existing interest rates, which could partially offset the effect of inflationary increases in operating costs.

Quarterly Information and Seasonality

The Company's loan volume and corresponding loans receivable follow seasonal trends. The Company's highest loan demand occurs each year from October through December, its third fiscal quarter. Loan demand is generally the lowest and loan repayment is highest from January to March, its fourth fiscal quarter. Loan volume and average balances remain relatively level during the remainder of the year. This seasonal trend causes fluctuations in the Company's cash needs and quarterly operating performance through corresponding fluctuations in interest and fee income and insurance commissions earned, since unearned interest and insurance income are accreted to income on a collection method. Consequently, operating results for the Company's third fiscal quarter are significantly lower than in other quarters and operating results for its fourth fiscal quarter are generally higher than in other quarters.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

On June 3, 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168 (“SFAS 168”), “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - a replacement of FASB Statement 162.” SFAS 168 provides for the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) to become the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). The Codification is not expected to change U.S. GAAP, but will combine all authoritative standards into a comprehensive, topically organized online database. The Codification will be effective for interim or annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company expects to adopt the use of the Codification for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and this will have an impact to the Company's financial statement disclosures, as all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be referenced in accordance with the Codification.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Forward-Looking Information

This report on Form 10-Q, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” may contain various “forward-looking statements,” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that are based on management’s belief and assumptions, as well as information currently available to management. Statements other than those of historical fact, as well as those identified by the words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “expect,” “believe,” “may,” “will,” and “should” any variation of the foregoing and similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in any such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Any such statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company’s actual financial results, performance or financial condition may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or expected. Among the key factors that could cause the Company’s actual financial results, performance or condition to differ from the expectations expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements are the following: changes in interest rates; risks inherent in making loans, including repayment risks and value of collateral; recently-enacted, proposed or future legislation; the timing and amount of revenues that may be recognized by the Company; changes in current revenue and expense trends (including trends affecting delinquencies and charge-offs); changes in the Company’s markets and general changes in the economy (particularly in the markets served by the Company); and other matters discussed in this report and in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the Company’s other reports filed with, or furnished to, the SEC from time to time. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements it makes.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s financial instruments consist of the following: cash, loans receivable, senior notes payable, convertible senior subordinated notes payable, and interest rate swaps. Fair value approximates carrying value for all of these instruments, except the convertible notes payable, for which the fair value of $58.2 represents the quoted market price. Loans receivable are originated at prevailing market rates and have an average life of approximately four months. Given the short-term nature of these loans, they are continually repriced at current market rates. The Company’s outstanding debt under its revolving credit facility was $137.7 million at June 30, 2009. At June 30, 2009, interest on borrowings under this facility was based, at the Company’s option, on the prime rate or LIBOR plus 1.80%. As discussed in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Note 13), the interest on borrowings under this facility was increased to LIBOR plus 3.0%, with a minimum of 4.0% per annum.

Based on the outstanding balance and terms of the revolving credit facility at June 30, 2009, a change of 1.0% in the interest rates would cause a change in interest expense of approximately $1.4 million on an annual basis.

In October 2005, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to economically hedge the variable cash flows associated with $30 million of its LIBOR-based borrowings. This swap converted the $30 million from a variable rate of one-month LIBOR to a fixed rate of 4.755% for a period of five years. In December 2008, the Company entered into a $20 million interest rate swap to convert a variable rate of one month LIBOR to a fixed rate of 2.4%.

In accordance with SFAS 133, the Company records derivatives at fair value, as other assets or liabilities, on the consolidated balance sheets. Since the Company is not utilizing hedge accounting under SFAS 133, changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are included in other income. As of June 30, 2009 the fair value of the interest rate swap was a liability of approximately $2.0 million and is included in other liabilities. The change in fair value from the beginning of the fiscal year, recorded as an unrealized gain in other income, was approximately $475,000.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

In September 2005 the Company began opening offices in Mexico, where its local businesses utilize the Mexican peso as their functional currency. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are denominated in U.S. dollars and are therefore subject to fluctuation as the U.S. dollar and Mexican peso foreign exchange rates change. International revenues were less than 5% of the Company’s total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and net loans denominated in Mexican pesos were approximately $15.6 million (USD) at June 30, 2009.

The Company’s foreign currency exchange rate exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and could have a material effect on the Company’s financial results. There have been, and there may continue to be, period-to-period fluctuations in the relative portions of Mexican revenues.

Because its earnings are affected by fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies, the Company has performed an analysis assuming a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the Mexican peso in which the Company’s transactions in Mexico are denominated. At June 30, 2009, the analysis indicated that such market movements would not have had a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The actual effects on the consolidated financial statements in the future may differ materially from results of the analysis for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The Company will continue to monitor and assess the effect of currency fluctuations and may institute further hedging alternatives.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2009. Based on that evaluation, the Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2009. During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, there was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time the Company is involved in routine litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. The Company believes that it is not presently a party to any such pending legal proceedings that would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed under Part I, Item 1A (page 10) of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009.

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