Note A - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring entries) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. The accompanying financial
statements should be read with the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1995.
The Company's business is subject to seasonal
variations, and operating results for the three- and nine-
month periods ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations for the full fiscal
year.
Note B - Accounting Principles and Practices
The provision for federal income taxes has been
calculated based on the Company's estimate of its effective
tax rate for the full fiscal year.
To conform with the current year's presentation, $0.8
million and $3.8 million of proceeds from the disposal of
scrap jewelry have been reclassified from cost of sales to
sales for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30,
1995, respectively.
The Company provides inventory reserves for shrinkage
and cost in excess of market value. The Company estimates
these reserves using analysis of sales trends, inventory
aging, sales margins and shrinkage on inventory. As of June
30, 1996, inventory reserves were $7.1 million.
During fiscal 1995, the Company established a $7.7
million provision for the closing and consolidation of
thirty-two (32) of its stores and for the write-down of
tangible and intangible assets. As of June 30, 1996, thirty-
one (31) of these stores had closed and one (1) was still in
operation. The June 30, 1996 accrued liability for store
closings is $0.6 million, principally for estimated rent
obligations.
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock
Based Compensation" which prescribes accounting and
reporting standards for all stock-based compensation plans.
The Company is required to adopt the Statement for its
fiscal year that begins October 1, 1996 and is presently
evaluating the Statement. The Company has yet to decide
upon the alternatives provided in the Statement.
Note C - Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Earnings per share calculations assume exercise of all
outstanding stock options and warrants using the treasury
stock method of calculation. The per share calculation
excludes these common equivalent shares as their effect is
anti-dilutive.
EZCORP, Inc. and SubsidiariesNotes to Interim Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)June 30, 1996
Note D - Litigation
The Company is involved in litigation relating to
claims that arise from time to time from normal business
operations. Currently, the Company is a defendant in
several lawsuits. Some of these lawsuits involve claims for
substantial amounts. While the ultimate outcome of these
lawsuits involving the Company cannot be ascertained, after
consultation with counsel, it is management's opinion that
the resolution of these suits will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial condition. See
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Note E - Bank Credit Agreement
On June 24, 1996, the Company amended its November 29,
1994 revolving line of credit. The amended revolving line
of credit matures January 31, 1998. Terms of the amended
agreement require, among other things, that the Company meet
certain financial covenants and provide the bank group a
first lien security interest in certain assets of the
Company. Borrowings under the line bear interest at the
bank's Eurodollar rate plus 1% to 2%. The amount which the
Company can borrow is based on a percentage of its inventory
levels and outstanding pawn loan balance, up to $50 million.
Note F - Subsequent Event
On July 17, 1996, the holder of a majority of the
Company's outstanding Class B Voting Common Stock acted to
convert 54.76% of the outstanding shares of Class B Voting
Common Stock into a like number of shares of Class A Non-
voting Common Stock. Following this conversion, there were
9,728,904 Class A and 2,270,863 Class B shares outstanding.
Also on that date, the Board of Directors approved an
amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to
reduce the number of authorized Class B shares to 2,274,969
shares.

Results of Operations
The following discussion compares
results for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30,
1996 ("Fiscal 1996 Periods") to the three- and nine-month
periods ended June 30, 1995 ("Fiscal 1995 Periods"). The
discussion should be read in conjunction with the
accompanying financial statements and related notes.
During the three-month Fiscal 1996 Period, the Company
opened two (2) newly established stores. During the twelve
(12) months ended June 30, 1996, the Company opened eleven
(11) newly established stores and closed thirty-one (31)
stores. The store closings were the result of the Company's
decision, made during the fourth Fiscal 1995 quarter, to
consolidate and close thirty-two (32) stores. At June 30,
1996, the Company operated 242 stores in eleven (11) states.
The Company's primary activity is the making of small,
non-recourse loans secured by tangible personal property.
The income earned on this activity is pawn service charge
revenue. For the three month period ended June 30, 1996,
pawn service charge revenue decreased 10% to $15.9 million.
A decline in same store pawn service charges and pawn
service charge revenue of the thirty-one (31) closed stores
resulted in a year over year decline (7 and 5 percentage
points, respectively) in pawn service charge revenue. These
two unfavorable factors are partially offset by pawn service
charge revenues from stores opened during the last twelve
months (2 percentage point impact). The decrease in same
store pawn service charge revenues was primarily due to
lower average loan amounts (6%) and a smaller number of
loans (4%) offset by an increase of 7 percentage points in
annualized yield earned on the loan balance (212% for the
Fiscal 1996 Period versus 205% for the Fiscal 1995 Period).
The yield improvement results primarily from management's
actions to reduce the number of high-dollar, low-yielding
loans.
For the nine-month period, pawn service charge revenue
decreased 3% to $52 million. The decline in same store pawn
service charge revenue and pawn service charge revenue lost
as a result of store closings account for 2 and 6 percentage
points of the 3% year over year decline. These factors are
largely offset by pawn service charge revenues from stores
opened during the last twelve months (5 percentage point
impact).
A secondary, but related, activity of the Company is
the sale of merchandise, primarily collateral forfeited from
its lending activity. For the three-month Fiscal 1996
Period, merchandise sales decreased 12% to $22.2 million
compared with $25.4 million for the Fiscal 1995 Period. The
12% decrease was the net effect of lower same store sales (7
percentage points), sales lost from closed stores (8
percentage points) and sales generated from new stores (3
percentage points). The Company's management believes that
lower average inventories per store (down 38% from the prior
year) contributed to the same store sales declines.
For the nine-month period, merchandise sales were up
0.5% to $83.1 million. The nominal year over year increase
is approximately the net result of a decline in same store
sales (1 percentage point), sales lost from closed stores (8
percentage points), sales generated from new stores (5.5
percentage points) and a higher level of wholesale and scrap
sales activity (4 percentage points).
For the three-month Fiscal 1996 Period, gross profits
as a percentage of sales increased 0.6 of one percentage
point, to 16.5%, from the Fiscal 1995 Period. This increase
resulted largely from the combined favorable effect of a
reduction in inventory shrinkage measured as a percentage of
merchandise sales (reduced by 1.5 percentage points to 2.3%)
and improved gross profit on the sale of scrap jewelry (1.3
percentage points). This increase was partially offset by a
decline in merchandise sales margins (a 2.2 percentage point
decrease). The lower merchandise sales margins result
primarily from management's strategy of pricing merchandise
based on, among other factors, merchandise age since
acquired or forfeited.
For the nine-month Fiscal 1996 Period, gross profits as
a percentage of sales decreased 2.5 percentage points, to
14% from the Fiscal 1995 Period. The lower gross profit
percentage was the net result of lower inventory shrinkage
(2.7 percentage points), improved gross profit on wholesale
and scrap sales (1.3 percentage points) and lower margins on
merchandise sold (6.5 percentage points).
The Company's gross margin level (gross profit as a
percentage of merchandise sales) results from, among other
factors, the composition, quality and age of its inventory.
At June 30, 1996, the Company's store inventories consisted
of approximately 64% jewelry (e.g., ladies' and men's rings,
chains, bracelets, etc.) and 36% general merchandise (e.g.,
televisions, VCRs, tools, sporting goods, musical
instruments, firearms, etc.). Approximately 75% of the
jewelry inventory and 86% of the general merchandise
inventory were less than twelve months old based on the
Company's acquisition date (date of forfeiture for
collateral or date of purchase). As a result of a higher
average selling price, consumer preference and seasonal
demand, consistent with other retailers, jewelry is a slower
moving merchandise category than our general merchandise.
Due to seasonally high demand for jewelry during the
Christmas and Valentines periods, jewelry tends to be slower
moving during the Company's third and fourth quarters (April
through September) than during its first and second quarters
(October through March). As a result, the Company expects
its jewelry inventory to turn more slowly and to age during
its third and fourth quarters.
Operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues
decreased approximately 4 and 3 percentage points to 35.3%
and 33.5% for the Fiscal 1996 Periods from 39.6% and 36.6%
in the Fiscal 1995 Periods. Administrative expenses as a
percentage of total revenues decreased to 5.9% in both the
Fiscal 1996 Periods from 7.5% and 7.0% in the Fiscal 1995
Periods. Both store operating and administrative expenses
have declined relative to total revenues as a result of the
closure of underperforming stores and the Company's programs
to reduce costs.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased in the
Fiscal 1996 Periods primarily as a result of the higher
level of depreciation on the eleven (11) newly established
stores added since June 30, 1995. Interest expense (net)
was down 1.0 and 0.5 percentage points in the Fiscal 1996
Periods over the prior year largely as a result of decreased
borrowings under the Company's bank line of credit.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine-
month Fiscal 1996 Period was $20.6 million, an increase of
$18.6 million from the nine-month Fiscal 1995 Period.
Approximately one-half of this increase is due to improved
operating results and working capital utilization. The
balance of the increase is due to income tax refunds
resulting from the carry-back of the Company's Fiscal 1995
net operating loss and the lower level of taxes payable
resulting from the carry-forward of the net operating loss.
For the nine-month Fiscal 1996 Period, the Company
invested approximately $4.7 million including investments in
leasehold improvements and equipment for existing stores and
six (6) newly established stores. The Company funded these
expenditures from cash flow provided by operating activities
and the seasonal reduction in its investment in pawn loans.
The Company projects that it will open approximately 10 new
stores in fiscal 1996 (including six (6) that have already
opened) and will relocate or remodel 5 to 10 of its existing
stores. The Company anticipates that cash flow from
operations and funds available under its existing bank line
of credit should be adequate to fund these capital
expenditures and seasonal pawn loan growth expected during
its fourth fiscal quarter.
On June 24, 1996, the Company amended its November 29,
1994 revolving line of credit. The amended revolving line of
credit matures January 31, 1998. Terms of the amended
agreement require, among other things, that the Company meet
certain financial covenants and provide the bank group a
first lien security interest in certain assets of the
Company. Borrowings under the line bear interest at the
bank's Eurodollar rate plus 1% to 2%. The amount which the
Company can borrow is based on a percentage of its inventory
levels and outstanding pawn loan balance, up to $50 million.
At June 30, 1996, the Company had $15 million outstanding on
the credit facility and additional borrowing capacity of
approximately $21 million.
Seasonality
Historically, pawn service charge revenues are highest
in the fourth fiscal quarter (July, August and September)
due to higher loan demand during the summer months and
merchandise sales are highest in the first fiscal quarter
(October, November and December) due to the holiday season.
PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On July 28, 1995, the Company terminated the
Employment Agreement of Courtland L. Logue, Jr., the
Company's former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and
an owner of approximately 19% of the Company's outstanding
voting securities (Class B Voting Common Stock). Since Mr.
Logue's termination, the Company has had ongoing discussions
with him concerning certain equipment leases between Mr.
Logue and the Company, as well as the application of
provisions to Mr. Logue's Employment Agreement and Stock
Purchase Agreement with the Company. The Company believes
these agreements require, among other things, a $2.7 million
payment by Mr. Logue to the Company. On March 8, 1996, the
Company filed a lawsuit styled EZCORP, Inc. v. Courtland L.
Logue, Jr. in the 201st District Court of Travis County,
Texas in an effort to bring resolution to this dispute. Mr.
Logue has filed counter-claims relating to the Employment
Agreement and certain equipment leases and notes entered
into between Mr. Logue and the Company.
