Third Quarter Results:
Net income for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011 was $2.3 million or $0.16 per diluted
share based upon 14,538,910 shares, compared to net income of $1.9 million, or $0.13 per diluted
share based upon 14,492,842 shares for the same period last year.
Revenue for the third quarter of 2011 increased 6.8% to $13.8 million compared to $12.9 million in
the third quarter of 2010. Revenue from leases was $9.3 million, an increase of $0.5 million from
the same period last year and rental income was $2.2 million, an increase of $0.3 million from
September 30, 2010. Other revenue components contributed $2.3 million for the current quarter, an
increase of $0.1 million from the same period last year.
Total operating expenses for the current quarter increased 2.0% to $10.0 million from $9.8 million
in the third quarter of 2010. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.5 million
to $3.9 million primarily due to increases in employee related expenses as a result of
increased employee headcount and increased rent expense associated with our new California office
location. Headcount as of September 30, 2011 was 133 as compared to 111 at the same period in
2010. The third quarter 2011 provision for credit losses decreased by $0.5 million to $4.5 million
compared to the third quarter of 2010 due primarily to improvements in delinquency levels and
reduced charge-offs. Third quarter net charge-offs decreased to $4.2 million from $5.4 million in
the comparable period of 2010. Interest expense remained relatively flat at $0.7 million as
increases in the amounts outstanding under our revolving line of credit facility were offset by
reductions in the interest rate being charged.
Cash received from customers in the third quarter increased 11.7% to $26.9 million compared to
$24.1 million during the same period in 2010. New originations in the quarter increased slightly
to $19.6 million for the third quarter of 2011 as compared to $19.3 million in the third quarter of
2010.
Richard Latour, President and Chief Executive Officer said, We are very pleased with the continued
improvement in our financial performance in the third quarter of 2011. We have realized solid
earnings year to date of approximately $6.6 million and recognized our 19th consecutive
quarterly increase in cash received from customers. Our portfolio quality remains strong as we
have significantly improved our delinquency levels and reduced our net charge-offs in 2011 as
compared to 2010. During the third quarter, we continued the development and training of the
personnel in our full service West Coast operations center in Westlake Village, California. In
addition, we were recently able to close on an amendment to our revolving credit facility which
provided us with a one year extension on the term extending our facility out to August of 2014.
