NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 and for the three and nine
months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010
(unaudited)
NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pioneer Financial Services, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, we, us, our or the Company). Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. We were acquired on May 31, 2007 by MidCountry Financial Corp., a Georgia corporation (MCFC), as a wholly owned first-tier subsidiary (the Transaction).
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2010 and the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders equity for the year ended September 30, 2010 have been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet and statement of stockholders equity. All the information in these condensed financial statements should be considered in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Nature of Operations and Concentration
We are headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri. We purchase finance receivables from the Military Banking Division (MBD) of MidCountry Bank, a federally chartered stock savings bank and wholly owned subsidiary of MCFC (MCB). These receivables represent loans exclusively to active-duty or career retired U.S. military personnel or U.S. Department of Defense employees. We also purchase finance receivables from retail merchants that sell consumer goods to active-duty or career retired U.S. military personnel or U.S. Department of Defense employees.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and in disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We use estimates and employ judgments in determining the amount of our allowance for credit losses, insurance claims and policy reserves and establishing the fair value of our financial instruments.
NOTE 2: FINANCE RECEIVABLES
Our finance receivables are comprised of military loans and retail installment contracts. During the third quarter of 2011, we purchased $123.8 million military loans from MBD compared to $112.7 million during the third quarter of 2010. We acquired $7.7 million retail installment contracts during the third quarter of 2011 compared to $8.8 million during the third quarter of 2010. Our finance receivables are disaggregated as military loans and retail installment contracts.
The following table represents finance receivables for the periods presented:

Management has an established methodology to determine the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses that assesses the risks and losses inherent in the finance receivable portfolio. Our portfolio consists of a large number of relatively small, homogenous accounts. No account is large enough to warrant individual evaluation for impairment. For purposes of determining the allowance for credit losses, the Company has segmented the finance receivable portfolio by military loans and retail installment contracts.
The allowance for credit losses for military loans and retail installment contracts is maintained at an amount that management considers sufficient to cover estimated future losses. The Companys allowance for credit losses is sensitive to risk ratings assigned to evaluated segments, economic assumptions and delinquency trends driving statistically modeled reserves. We consider numerous qualitative and quantitative factors in estimating losses in our finance receivable portfolio, including the following:
· prior credit losses and recovery experience;
· current economic conditions;
· current finance receivable delinquency trends; and
· demographics of the current finance receivables.
We also use internally developed data in this process. We utilize a statistical model based on potential credit risk trends, growth rate and charge off data, when incorporating both historical and prospective factors to estimate losses. These results and managements judgment are used to project future losses and to establish the allowance for credit losses for each segment of our finance receivables.
As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of our entire finance receivable portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators of our customers including trends related to (1) net charge-offs, (2) non-performing loans and (3) payment history.
There is uncertainty inherent in these estimates, making it possible that they could change in the near term. We make regular enhancements to our allowance that have not resulted in material changes to our allowance methodology.
The following table sets forth changes in the components of our allowance for credit losses on finance receivables as of the end of the period presented:

The accrual of interest income is suspended when a full payment on either military loans or retail installment contracts has not been received for 90 days or more and the interest due exceeds an amount equal to 60 days of interest charges. Nonperforming loans represent those finance receivables on which the accrual of interest income has been suspended and for which no full payment of principal or interest has been received for more than 90 days. As of June 30, 2011, we had $7.1 million in military loans and $1.3 million in retail installment contracts that were non-performing loans compared to $5.7 million in military loans and $1.6 in retail installment contracts as of June 30, 2010. We did not have any finance receivables greater than 90 days past due accruing interest as of June 30, 2011 or 2010. The accrual of interest is resumed and the account is considered current, when a full payment (95% or more of the contracted payment amount) is received. We consider a loan impaired after 180 days past due and it is removed from our finance receivable portfolio. We do not restructure troubled debt as a form of curing delinquencies.

A large portion of our customers are unable to obtain financing from traditional sources due to factors such as age, frequent relocations and lack of credit history. These factors may not allow them to build relationships with traditional sources of financing. As a result, our receivables do not have a credit risk profile that can be easily measured by the credit quality indicators normally used by the financial markets. We manage the risk by closely monitoring the performance of the portfolio and through our underwriting process.

Additionally, MBD uses our underwriting criteria, which were developed from our past customer credit repayment experience and are periodically evaluated based on current portfolio performance. These criteria require the following:
· All borrowers must be active duty or career retired U.S. military personnel or U.S. Defense Department employees.
· All potential borrowers must complete standardized credit applications either in person at one of MBDs loan production offices or online via the Internet.
· A thorough review must be conducted on all applicants military service history. This includes verification of status including rank and time in service. Other review procedures may be conducted as deemed necessary.
· Loan repayment terms must generally be structured to repay the entire loan prior to the borrowers estimated separation from the military.
These indicators are used to help minimize the risk of unwillingness or inability to repay for both military loans and retail installment contracts. These guidelines were developed from past customer credit repayment experience and
are periodically revalidated based on current portfolio performance. Loans are limited to amounts that the customer could reasonably be expected to repay from discretionary income.
NOTE 3: GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES
In connection with the Transaction, MCFC paid the shareholders of Pioneer Financial Industries (the Sellers) $68.8 million in cash and 882,353 shares of MCFCs common stock. The total purchase price was $90,229,762.
The fair value assigned to intangible assets acquired and assumed liabilities is supported by valuations using estimates and assumptions provided by management.
Due to the Transaction, we recorded goodwill and amortizable intangible assets in the form of customer, agent and vendor relationships, trade name, technology for the lending system and the value of business acquired. Goodwill and intangible assets as of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 are as follows:

Intangible assets other than goodwill, which are determined to have finite lives, are amortized on a straight-line or accelerated basis over their estimated useful lives between three and ten years.
Management evaluated goodwill and intangible assets at September 30, 2010, and determined that there was no impairment as the estimated fair value substantially exceeded the carrying value of $8.5 million. Management also evaluates amortizable intangible assets and goodwill for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. There were no impairments of goodwill or amortizable intangible assets as of June 30, 2011.
NOTE 4: NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net income per share is computed based upon the weighted-average common shares outstanding of one share for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011. There are no potentially dilutive securities issued and outstanding.
NOTE 5: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
We entered into an amended and restated Loan Sale and Master Services Agreement (LSMS Agreement) with MBD in June 2009. Under the LSMS Agreement, we buy certain military loans that MBD originates and receive management and recordkeeping services from MBD. Total loans purchased from MBD (net of noncash items), pursuant to the LSMS Agreement were $187.9 million and $173.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively. Total expenses paid to MBD for management and record keeping services pursuant to the LSMS Agreement were $9.7 million and $9.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively. In addition, this quarter, we paid MBD $1.0 million in fees connected with MBDs origination of the military loans, as compared with $1.0 in the same quarter last year. As of September 30, 2010, we had outstanding subordinated-debt due to our parent of $11.9 million. During the first and second quarters of 2011, we made payments on this debt in the amount of $11.9 million. As of June 30, 2011, we do not have an outstanding balance. We have also paid our parent dividends of $6.5 million and $8.6 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
NOTE 6: DISCLOSURE ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
A financial instrument is defined as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity, or a contract that creates a contractual obligation or right to deliver or receive cash or another financial instrument from a second entity on potentially favorable or unfavorable terms.
Fair value estimates are made at a point in time, based on relevant market data and information about the financial instrument. Fair values should be calculated based on the value of one trading unit without regard to any premium or discount that may result from concentrations of ownership of a financial instrument, possible tax ramifications, estimated transaction costs that may result from bulk sales or the relationship between various financial instruments. No readily available market exists for a significant portion of the Companys financial instruments. Fair value estimates for these instruments are based on judgments regarding current economic conditions, currency and interest rate risk characteristics, loss experience, and other factors. Many of these estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and cannot be determined with precision. Therefore, the calculated fair value estimates in many instances cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realizable in a current sale of the instrument. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents The carrying value approximates fair value due to their liquid nature.
Investments- Restricted Fair value for investments are based on quoted market prices.
Investments- Non-Restricted Fair value for investments are based on quoted market prices.
Finance Receivables The fair values of finance receivables are estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates at which similar finance receivables would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. The carrying amount of finance receivables is evaluated at current market rate to determine fair value.
Revolving Line of Credit The carrying amounts of a revolving line of credit approximate fair value due to the variable interest on the revolving lines of credit that are derived from current market interest rates.
Amortizing Term Notes The fair value of the amortizing term notes with fixed interest rates are estimated using the discounted cash flow analysis based on the Companys current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
Investment Notes The fair value of investment notes is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates at which similar investment notes would be offered to lenders for the same remaining maturities.
Subordinated debt-parent The carrying amounts of the subordinated debt approximate fair value due to the variable interest on the subordinated debt that are derived from current market interest rates.

Financial instruments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
· Level 1 Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
· Level 2 Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
· Level 3 Unobservable inputs reflect the Companys judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. The Company develops these inputs based on the best information available, including the Companys own data.
As of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 we have investments of $6.4 million and $6.0 million respectively which are classified as level 1. A portion of our investments are classified as held to maturity, which include $0.1 million and $1.4 million as of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 respectively.
We record our restricted investments at fair market value. The following table represents our recurring valuations of restricted investments as of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010:

The net unrealized gain on investments of $171,592 net of tax of $60,057 represents the accumulated other comprehensive income of $111,535. |
In the third quarter of 2011, we did not recognize any material realized gains or losses on investments. As of June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, none of the recurring evaluated investments with unrealized losses were determined to be other than temporarily impaired and none of those investments have unrealized losses for more than one year. We do not have non-recurring valuations under the valuation hierarchy.
NOTE 7: BORROWINGS
Secured Senior Lending Agreement
On June 12, 2009, we entered into a Secured Senior Lending Agreement (the SSLA) with the lenders listed on the SSLA (the lenders) and UMB Bank, N.A. (the Agent). The SSLA replaces and supersedes the Senior Lending Agreement, dated as of June 9, 1993, as subsequently amended and restated (the SLA). The term of the current SSLA ends on March 31, 2012 and is automatically extended annually unless any lender gives written notice of its objection by March 1 of each calendar year. Our assets secure the loans extended under the SSLA for the benefit of the lenders and other holders of the notes issued pursuant to the SSLA or the SLA (the Senior Debt). The facility is an uncommitted facility that provides common terms and conditions pursuant to which the individual lenders that are a party to the SSLA may choose to make loans to us in the future. If a lender were to choose not to participate in future fundings, the outstanding amortizing notes would be repaid based on the original terms of the note. As of June 30, 2011, we could request up to $82.8 million in additional funds and remain in compliance with the terms of the SSLA. No lender, however, has any contractual obligation to lend us these additional funds.
As of June 30, 2011 the lenders have indicated a willingness to participate in fundings up to an aggregate of $315.9 million during the next 12 months, including $231.2 million that is currently outstanding. Included in this amount are borrowings of $19.1 million from withdrawing banks that previously participated in the SLA or SSLA.
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, we amended the SSLA to allow additional banks to become parties to the SSLA under a modified non-voting role. We have identified each lender that has voting rights under the SSLA as voting bank(s) and lenders that do not have voting rights under the SSLA as non-voting bank(s). While all voting and non-voting banks have the same rights to the collateral and are a party to the same terms and conditions of the SSLA, all of the non-voting banks acknowledge and agree that they have no right to vote on any matter nor to prohibit or limit any action by us, or the voting banks. As of June 30, 2011, the principal balance outstanding to non-voting banks under the SSLA was $39.3 million.
Interest on the amortizing notes is fixed at 270 basis points over the 90-day moving average of like-term treasury notes when issued. The interest rate may not be less than 6.25%. All amortizing notes have terms not to exceed 48 months, payable in equal monthly principal and interest payments. Interest on amortizing notes is payable monthly. In addition, we are paying our lenders a quarterly uncommitted availability fee in an amount equal to ten basis points multiplied by the average aggregate outstanding principal amount of all amortizing notes held by the lenders. For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we paid our lenders $0.2 million in uncommitted availability fees.
Substantially all of our assets secure the debt under the SSLA. The SSLA also limits, among other things, our ability to (1) incur additional debt from the lenders beyond that allowed by specific financial ratios and tests, (2) borrow or incur other additional debt except as permitted in the SSLA, (3) pledge assets, (4) pay dividends, (5) consummate certain asset sales and dispositions, (6) merge, consolidate or enter into a business combination with any other person, (7) pay to MCFC service charge fees each year except as provided in the SSLA, (8) purchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire any of our outstanding equity interests, (9) issue additional equity interests, (10) guarantee the debt of others without reasonable compensation and only in the ordinary course of business or (11) enter into management agreements with our affiliates.
Under the SSLA, we are subject to certain financial covenants that require that we, among other things, maintain specific financial ratios and satisfy certain financial tests. In part, these covenants require us to: (1) maintain an allowance for credit losses equal to or greater than the allowance for credit losses shown on our audited financial statements as of the end of our most recent fiscal year and at no time less than 5.25% of our net finance receivables unless otherwise required by generally accepted accounting principles, (2) limit our senior indebtedness as of the end of each quarter to not greater than four times our tangible net worth, (3) maintain a positive net income in each fiscal year, (4) limit our senior indebtedness as of the end of each quarter to not greater than 80% of our net finance receivables, and (5) maintain a consolidated total required capital of at least $75 million plus 50% of the cumulative positive net income earned by us during each of our fiscal years ending after September 30, 2008. Any part of the 50% of positive net income not distributed by us as a dividend for any fiscal year within 120 days after the last day of such fiscal year must be added to our consolidated total required capital and may not be distributed as a dividend or otherwise. No part of the consolidated total required capital may be distributed as a dividend. As of June 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all loan covenants.
In connection with the execution of the SSLA, MCFC entered into an Unlimited Continuing Guaranty and a Negative Pledge Agreement in favor of the Agent.
Subordinated Debt - Parent
In fiscal year 2010, we amended our SSLA to convert the parent note from a term facility to a revolving line of credit. Funding on this line of credit is provided as needed at our discretion and dependent upon the availability of funds from our parent and is due upon demand. The maximum principal balance on this facility is $25.0 million. Interest is payable monthly and is based on prime or 5.0%, whichever is greater. As of September 30, 2010, we had an outstanding subordinated-debt due to our parent of $11.9 million. During the first and second quarter of 2011, we made payments on this debt in the amount of $11.9 million. As of June 30, 2011, we do not have an outstanding balance.

Investment Notes
We also have borrowings through the issuance of investment notes (with accrued interest) with an outstanding notional balance of $55.7 million, which includes a $0.4 million purchase adjustment at June 30, 2011, and $40.0 million, which includes a $0.5 million purchase adjustment at September 30, 2010. The purchase adjustments relate to fair value adjustments recorded as part of the Transaction. These investment notes are nonredeemable before maturity by the holders, issued at various rates and mature one to ten years from date of issue. At our option, we may redeem and retire any or all of the debt upon 30 days written notice. The average investment note payable was $48,342 and $38,693, with a weighted interest rate of 9.21% and 9.38% at June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively.
On January 21, 2010, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) declared effective our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-164109) registering $25 million of investment notes (2010 Registration Statement). We filed our final prospectus and prospectus supplement containing certain pricing information on January 21, 2010. We began offering these investment notes on January 22, 2010. On January 28, 2011, the SEC declared effective our post effective amendment to the 2010 Registration Statement. As of June 30, 2011, we have issued 306 investment notes in conjunction with this offering with an aggregate value of $24.8 million.
On January 28, 2011, the SEC declared effective a new registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-171745) under which along with the accompanying prospectus, we registered and are offering an additional $50 million in aggregate principal amount of our investment notes (2011 Registration Statement), with a maximum aggregate offering amount of $50 million, on a continuous basis with an expected termination date of January 28, 2013, unless terminated earlier at our discretion. We began offering these investment notes on April 1, 2011. As of June 30, 2011, we have issued 81 investment notes in conjunction with this offering with an aggregate value of $2.7 million.
NOTE 8: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended its guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income in financial statements to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items that are recorded in other comprehensive income. The new accounting guidance requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. The provisions of this new guidance are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.
There were no other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the first nine months of 2011 that have had or are expected to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
The discussion set forth below, in the quarterly report of Pioneer Financial Services, Inc. (PFS), with its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively we, us, our or the Company), contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities law. Words such as may, will, expect, anticipate, believe, estimate, continue, predict, or other similar words, identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding our managements intent, belief or current expectation about, among other things, trends affecting the markets in which we operate our business, financial condition and growth strategies. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those predicted in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, those risk factors set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended September 30, 2010 (annual report) under Part I Item 1ARisk Factors. Other factors not identified herein could also have such an effect. If any of these risk factors occur, they could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation. When considering forward-looking statements keep these risk factors in mind. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this filing. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement. We are not obligated to update forward-looking statements and will not update any forward-looking statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q to reflect future events or developments.
Overview
We are a wholly owned subsidiary of MidCountry Financial Corp., a Georgia corporation (MCFC). We purchase consumer loans, on a worldwide basis, made exclusively to active-duty or career retired U.S. military personnel or U.S. Department of Defense employees. We purchase primarily from two different types of sources. Our largest source of military loans is the Military Banking Division (MBD) of MidCountry Bank, a federally chartered stock savings bank and wholly owned subsidiary of MCFC (MCB), an affiliate who originates military loans through a network of loan production offices and via the Internet. Military families use these loan proceeds to purchase goods and services. On June 12, 2009, we entered into an Amended and Restated Non-Recourse Loan Sale and Master Services Agreement (LSMS Agreement) with MBD that outlines the terms of the sale and servicing of these loans. We also purchase retail installment contracts from retail merchants that sell consumer goods to active-duty or career retired U.S. military personnel or U.S. Department of Defense employees. We plan to hold these military loans and retail installment contracts until repaid.
Our finance receivables, whether originated or purchased, are effectively unsecured and consist of loans originated by us or purchased from MBD and retail merchants. All finance receivables have fixed interest rates and typically have a maturity of less than 48 months. During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the average size of a loan when purchased was approximately $3,651. A large portion of our customers are unable to obtain financing from traditional sources due to factors such as their age, frequent relocations and lack of credit history. These factors may not allow them to build relationships with traditional sources of financing.
Improvement of our profitability is dependent upon the growth in amount of finance receivables we are able to acquire from MBD or retail merchants and the maintenance of loan quality.
Critical Accounting Policies
In our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we identified the critical accounting policies which affect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements. We have not changed these policies from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report.
Lending and Servicing Operations
Primary Supplier of Loans
We have retained MBD as our primary supplier of loans. Under the LSMS Agreement, MBD uses our underwriting criteria (which was developed from our past customer credit repayment experience and is periodically revalidated based on current portfolio performance). These criteria primarily require the following:
· All borrowers must be active-duty or career retired U.S. military personnel or U.S. Department of Defense employees.
· All potential borrowers must complete standardized credit applications either in person at one of MBDs loan production offices or online via the Internet.
· A thorough review must be conducted on all applicants military service history.
· Loan repayment terms must generally be structured to repay the entire loan prior to the customers estimated separation from the military.
To the extent MBD originates loans under these standards, MBD is obligated to sell such loans to us and we are obligated to purchase such loans. Loans purchased from MBD and those originated by us prior to MCFC acquiring us in June 2007 (the Transaction) are referred to as military loans. See our annual report under Item 1A. Risk Factors MBD may modify underwriting and servicing standards and does not have to lend to the traditional customers who meet our business model and lending guidelines, which may materially adversely affect our business operations, cash flow, results of operations, financial condition and profitability.
Loan Purchasing
General. Prior to the Transaction, we had over 20 years of experience underwriting, originating, monitoring and servicing consumer loans to the military market and developed a deep understanding of the military and the military lifestyle. Through this extensive knowledge of our customer base, we developed a proprietary credit scoring model that focuses on the unique characteristics of the military market, as well as traditional credit scoring variables that are currently utilized by MBD when originating loans in this market. Prior to the Transaction, we incorporated these proprietary underwriting guidelines and scoring model into our loan origination system to facilitate auto-decisioning and risk-based pricing on our loans.
For the loans we purchase, MBD uses our proprietary underwriting guidelines and scoring model when it originates loans. Under these guidelines, in evaluating the creditworthiness of potential customers, MBD primarily examines the individuals debt to income ratio, discretionary income, military rank, time served in the military and prior credit experience using internal and vendor supplied data. Loans are limited to amounts that the customer could reasonably be expected to repay from that discretionary income. In general, the majority of finance receivables we own are under $10,000, repayable in equal monthly installments and have terms no longer than 48 months. Loan repayment terms are generally structured to repay the entire loan prior to the customers estimated separation from the military. However, when we purchase loans from MBD, we cannot predict when or whether a customer may unexpectedly leave the military or when or whether other events could occur that result in not being repaid prior to a customers departure from the military.
A risk in all consumer lending and retail sales financing transactions is the customers unwillingness or inability to repay obligations. An unwillingness to repay is usually evidenced by a consumers historical credit repayment record. An inability to repay occurs after initial credit evaluation and funding and usually results from lower income due to early separation from the military or reduction in rank, major medical expenses, or divorce. Occasionally, these types of events are so economically severe that the customer files for protection under the bankruptcy laws. Standard underwriting guidelines are used at the time the customer applies for a loan to help minimize the risk of unwillingness or inability to repay. These guidelines were developed from past customer credit repayment experience and are periodically revalidated based on current portfolio performance. MBD uses these guidelines to predict the relative likelihood of credit applicants repaying their obligation to us. We purchase loans made to consumers who fit our underwriting guidelines. The amount and interest rate of the military loan or retail installment contract transaction purchased are set by MBD or the retail merchant based upon our underwriting guidelines considering the estimated credit risk assumed.
As a customer service, we consider purchasing a new loan from MBD that includes a refinanced portion if the existing borrower has demonstrated a positive payment history with us and where the transaction creates an economic benefit to the customer after fully underwriting the new loan request to ensure proper debt ratio, credit history and payment performance. We will not purchase refinancings made to cure delinquency or for the sole purpose of creating fee income. Generally, we purchase refinancing of existing loans when a portion of the new loan proceeds is used to repay the balance of the existing loan and the remaining portion is advanced to the customer. Approximately 29.5% of the amount of military loans we purchased in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 were refinancings of outstanding loans compared to 25.1% during the third quarter of fiscal 2010.
Military Loans Purchased from MBD. We purchase military loans from MBD if they meet our lending guidelines. In connection with the Transaction, MBD was provided the rights to our lending guidelines and extensive experience with lending to the military marketplace. Pursuant to the LSMS Agreement, we transferred the right to use our underwriting model and system to MBD. However, we retained ownership of this model and the lending system. MBD originates these loans directly through its loan production offices and over the Internet.
Retail Installment Contracts. We purchase retail installment contracts that meet our quality standards and return on investment objectives from approximately 318 active retail merchant locations. Retail installment contracts are finance receivable notes generated during the purchase of consumer goods by active-duty or career retired U.S. military personnel or U.S. Department of Defense employees. These customers have demonstrated an apparent need to finance a retail purchase and a willingness to use credit. We generally acquire these contracts without recourse to the originating merchant. However, reserve agreements with many retail merchants allow us to withhold funds from the merchants proceeds to create reserves to be used in the event a customer defaults and the loan is deemed uncollectible. Retail installment contracts generally have maximum terms of 48 months.
Management and Recordkeeping Services
We have retained MBD to provide management and recordkeeping services. MBD services our finance receivables in the same manner we did prior to the Transaction. For these management and recordkeeping services, we pay MBD a monthly fee in an amount equal to 0.7% (8.4% annually) of the outstanding principal balance of the military loans and retail installment contracts serviced as of the last day of each month. The fee can be adjusted annually on the basis of the annual increase or decrease in the Consumer Price Index. Also, as part of its compensation for performing these management and record keeping services, MBD retains all ancillary revenue, including late charges and insufficient funds fees, associated with these loans and retail installment contracts. For these services, we also pay MBD an annual fee of $33.86 for each military loan and retail installment contract owned by us at the end of the prior fiscal year. The annual fee is paid in monthly installments. This fee can be adjusted annually on the basis of the annual increase or decrease in the Consumer Price Index. In addition, this quarter, we paid MBD $1.0 million in fees connected with MBDs origination of the military loans, as compared with $1.0 million in the same quarter last year.
To facilitate MBDs servicing of the military loans and retail installment contracts, we have granted MBD (i) the non-exclusive rights to use certain intellectual properties, including our trade names and service marks, and (ii) the right to use our Daybreak loan processing system and related hardware and software. We have also granted MBD non-exclusive rights to market additional products and services to our U.S. military borrowers. We retain all other borrower relationships.
Sources of Income
We generate revenues primarily from interest income earned on the military loans purchased from MBD, loans previously originated by us and retail installment contracts purchased from retail merchants. We also earn revenues from debt protection fees and credit reinsurance premiums. For purposes of the following discussion, revenues means the sum of our finance income and fees.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, MBD began offering a debt protection product to our customers. During the third quarter of fiscal 2010, this product replaced the credit insurance products we previously offered to customers. If our customers are killed, injured, become ill among other events, including during war, our subsidiary will have payment obligations. The liability we establish for possible losses related to our reinsurance and debt protection operations and the corresponding charges to our income to maintain this amount are actuarially evaluated annually and we consider this amount adequate. See our annual report.
Item 1A. Risk Factors If a large number of borrowers are wounded in combat our profits may be adversely affected.

Net Interest Margin
The principal component of our profitability is net interest margin, which is the difference between the interest earned on our finance receivables and the interest paid on borrowed funds. Some state and federal statutes regulate the interest rates that may be charged to our customers. In addition, competitive market conditions also impact the interest rates.
Our interest expense is sensitive to general market interest rate fluctuations. These general market fluctuations directly impact our cost of funds. General inability to increase the interest rates earned on new and existing finance receivables restricts our ability to react to increases in cost of funds. Accordingly, increases in market interest rates generally will narrow interest rate spreads and lower profitability, while decreases in market interest rates generally will widen interest rate spreads and increase profitability.
The following table presents important data relating to our net interest margin as of the end of the periods presented:

Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2010
Total Finance Receivables. Our aggregate finance receivables increased 6.9% or $26.0 million, to $400.8 million on June 30, 2011 from $374.8 million on June 30, 2010. Our primary supplier of loans, MBD saw a 9.9% or $11.1 million increase in military loan originations during the third quarter of 2011. Our acquisition of retail installment contracts decreased during the third quarter of 2011 by $1.2 million or 13.4% compared to the third quarter 2010. See further discussion in the sections entitled Loan Acquisition and Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Interest Income and Fees. Interest income and fees represented 93.3% of our total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to 94.4% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2010. Interest income and fees increased to $28.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 from $26.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, an increase of $2.3 million or 8.9%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in acquisition of military loans of 9.9%.
Interest Expense. Interest expense in the third quarter of 2011 increased to $4.7 million compared to $4.4 million or 6.8% for the same period in 2010. This increase is due to the increase of average interest bearing liabilities of $3.7 million or 1.4% and the increase in our junior subordinated investment notes of $55.7 million as of June 30, 2011, compared to $38.3 million as of June 30, 2010 an increase of $17.4 million or 45.4%.
Provision for Credit Losses. The provision for credit losses in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 increased to $6.3 million from $5.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, an increase of $1.0 million or 18.9%. Net charge offs increased to $6.0 million in the third quarter 2011 from $5.4 million in the third quarter 2010 an increase of $0.6 million or 11.1%. The net charge off ratio increased to 6.13% for the third quarter 2011 compared to 5.84% for the same period in 2010. See further discussion in Credit Loss Experience and Provision for Credit Losses.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income consists of revenue from debt protection fees and credit reinsurance premiums which are $2.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $1.5 million in the third quarter fiscal 2010 an increase of $0.5 million or 33.3%. This increase is partially due to the 9.9% increase in the purchase of military loans and partially due to the newness of the debt protection product.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $11.9 million compared to $11.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Management and recordkeeping services fees in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 increased by $0.6 million or 6.1% from the third quarter of fiscal 2010 due to an increase in our aggregate average finance receivables of 6.9% upon which this fee is based.
Nine Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Nine Months Ended June 30, 2010
Total Finance Receivables. Our aggregate finance receivables increased 3.6% during the first nine months of fiscal 2011 to $400.8 million from $387.0 million for the same period in fiscal 2010, compared to a 2.7% increase during the first nine months of fiscal 2010 to $374.8 million at September 30, 2010. Our primary supplier of loans, MBD, saw a $36.9 million or 13.5% increase in its originations of loans during the first nine months of 2011 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2010. Our acquisition of retail installment contracts decreased $2.3 million or 7.3% during the first nine months of 2011 to $29.1 million compared to $31.4 million in the first nine months of 2010.
Interest Income and Fees. Interest income and fees for the first nine months of 2011 represented 93.8% of our total revenue compared to 94.8% for the first nine months of 2010. Interest income and fees for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 increased to $84.9 million from $77.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2010, an increase of $7.0 million, or 9.0%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in military loan acquisitions from MBD to $311.2 million from $274.2 million compared to the first nine months of 2010, an increase of $37.0 million or 13.5%.
Interest Expense. Interest expense in the first nine months of 2011 increased to $14.3 million from $13.4 million in the first nine months of 2010, an increase of $0.9 million or 6.7%. Our average interest bearing liabilities for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 increased by $8.0 million, or 2.9%, compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2010, resulting in increased borrowing costs between the two periods. During the first nine months of 2011, we have increased our investment notes to $55.7 million from $40.0 million on September 30, 2010 an increase of $15.7 million or 39.2%. Due to the increase, our cost of funds has increased between the two periods.
Provision for Credit Losses. The provision for credit losses in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 increased to $19.2 million from $15.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010, an increase of $3.6 million, or 23.0%. In 2010, the retail installment net charge offs were lower than historical levels due to positive trends in the portfolio. During the first nine months of 2011, we saw an increase in our total net charge-offs to 6.22% compared to 6.05% during the first nine months of 2010. See further discussion in the section entitled Allowance for Credit Losses.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income consists of revenue from debt protection fees and credit reinsurance premiums, which are $5.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 compared to $4.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010, an increase of $1.3 million or 30.2%. This increase is partially due to the increase in military loan acquisitions of 13.5% and partially due to the newness of the debt protection product.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 increased to $35.9 million from $34.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010, an increase of $1.8 million or 5.3%. The increase was primarily due to the increase in our management and recordkeeping services fees for the first nine months of 2011. Management and recordkeeping services fees in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 increased by $1.9 million or 6.9% from the first nine months of fiscal 2010 due to an increase in our aggregate average finance receivables of 7.9%.
Delinquency Experience
Our customers are required to make monthly payments of interest and principal. Our servicer, MBD, under our supervision, analyzes our delinquencies on a recency delinquency basis utilizing our guidelines. A loan is delinquent under the recency method when a full payment (95% or more of the contracted payment amount) has not been received for 30 days after the last full payment.
The following table sets forth our delinquency experience as of the end of the periods presented for accounts for which payments are 60 days or more past due.

Credit Loss Experience and Provision for Credit Losses
General. The allowance for credit losses is maintained at an amount that management considers sufficient to cover estimated future losses. We utilize a statistical model based on potential credit risk trends incorporating both historical and prospective factors to estimate losses. These results and managements judgment are used to estimate future losses and in establishing the current provision and allowance for credit losses. These estimates are influenced by factors outside our control, such as economic conditions, current or future military deployments and completion of military service prior to repayment of loan. There is uncertainty inherent in these estimates, making it reasonably possible that they could change in the near term. See our annual report Item 1A. Risk Factors If a customer leaves the military prior to repaying the military loan, there is an increased risk that loan will not be repaid.
Military Loans. Our charge-off policy is to charge off military loans at 180 days past due or earlier if management deems it appropriate. Charge-offs occur primarily when a customer leaves the military prior to repaying the finance receivable or is subject to longer term and more frequent deployments. Generally, loans purchased or originated by us are structured so that the entire amount is repaid prior to a customers estimated separation from the military. When buying loans, however, we cannot predict when or whether a customer may depart from the military early. Accordingly, we cannot implement policies or procedures for MBD to follow to ensure that we will be repaid in full prior to a customer leaving the military, nor can we predict when a customer may be subject to deployment at a duration or frequency that causes a default on their loans. Another source of loss is when a customer declares bankruptcy. See our annual report Item 7. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Nonperforming Assets.

Retail Installment Contracts. Under many of our arrangements with retail merchants, we may withhold a percentage (usually between five and ten percent) of the principal amount of the retail installment contract purchased. The amounts withheld from a particular retail merchant are recorded in a specific reserve account. Any losses incurred on the retail installment contracts purchased from that retail merchant are charged against its reserve account, as specified in the agreement with such retail merchant. Upon the retail merchants request, and no more often than annually, we will pay the retail merchant the amount by which its reserve account exceeds 15% of the aggregate outstanding balance on all retail installment contracts purchased from them, less losses we have sustained, or reasonably could sustain, due to debtor defaults, collection expenses, delinquencies and breaches of our agreement with the retail merchant.
Our allowance for credit losses is utilized to the extent that the loss on any individual retail installment contract exceeds the retail merchants aggregate reserve account at the time of the loss. Currently, we have instances where we have extinguished a portion of our merchant reserves and may sustain additional charge-offs as these merchants portfolios liquidate. The financial impact of these potential future losses is deemed to be immaterial to the overall financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

We maintain an allowance for credit losses, which represents managements best estimate of probable losses in the outstanding finance receivable portfolio. The allowance for credit losses is reduced by actual credit losses and is increased by the provision for credit losses and recoveries of previous credit losses. The provision for credit losses is charged to earnings to bring the total allowance to a level considered necessary by management. As the portfolio of finance receivables consists of a large number of relatively small, homogenous accounts, the finance receivables are evaluated for impairment as two separate components: military loans and retail installment contracts. Management considers numerous factors in estimating losses in our credit portfolio, including the following:
· prior credit losses and recovery experience;
· current economic conditions;
· current finance receivable delinquency trends; and
· demographics of the current finance receivable portfolio.

Loan Acquisition
Asset growth is the most important factor in determining our future revenues. In connection with purchasing the loans, we pay MBD a fee in the amount of $30.00 for each military consumer loan originated by MBD and purchased by us. This fee is adjusted annually on the basis of the annual increase or decrease in MBDs deferred acquisition cost analysis. Our loan acquisitions increased for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 to $340.3 million from $305.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
A relatively high ratio of borrowings to invested capital is customary in the consumer finance industry. Our principal use of cash is to purchase military loans and retail installment contracts. We use borrowings to fund the difference, if any, between the cash used to purchase military loans and retail installment contracts and the cash generated from loan repayments and operations. This amount is generally cash used in investing activities. Cash used in investing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 was approximately $29.5 million and cash used in financing activities was $5.1 million, which was funded from $34.0 million in operating activities. Cash used in investing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2010 was approximately $25.9 million and cash used in financing activities was $8.3 million which was funded by operating activities of $35.0 million.
Financing activities primarily consist of borrowing and repayments of debt incurred under our Secured Senior Lending Agreement (SSLA) dated June 12, 2009. With the ongoing uncertainty in the financial markets and the economic conditions generally, some lenders within our credit group, at their discretion, may reduce their willingness to lend at the current levels. We have borrowings as of June 30, 2011 of $19.1 million from withdrawing banks who previously participated in the Senior Lending Agreement (SLA). We have added three new voting banks and six new non-voting banks to our SSLA facility during the first nine months of 2011. In addition, three current voting banks have increased their funding capacity with us. Together, these events provided additional bank funding of $48.7 million. See a further discussion below under Senior Indebtedness-Bank Debt.
On January 21, 2010, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) declared effective our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-164109) registering $25 million of investment notes (2010 Registration Statement). We filed our final prospectus and prospectus supplement containing certain pricing information on January 21, 2010. We began offering these investment notes on January 22, 2010. As of June 30, 2011, we issued 306 investment notes, in conjunction with this offering, with an aggregate value of approximately $24.8 million.
On January 28, 2011, the SEC declared our post effective amendment to the 2010 Registration Statement (File No. 333-164109) effective with the related Offering expected to terminate on January 28, 2013, unless terminated earlier at our discretion. The SEC also declared effective a new registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-171745) (2011 Registration Statement) under which along with the accompanying prospectus, we registered and are offering an additional $50 million in aggregate principal amount of our investment notes, with a maximum aggregate offering price of $50 million, on a continuous basis with an expected termination date of January 28, 2013, unless terminated earlier at our discretion. As of June 30, 2011, we issued 81 investment notes, in conjunction with this offering, with an aggregate value of approximately $2.7 million.
Senior Indebtedness - Bank Debt.
On June 12, 2009, we entered into the SSLA with certain lenders. The SSLA replaced and superseded the SLA, dated as of June 9, 1993, as subsequently amended and restated. The Company filed a Form 8-K on June 18, 2009 providing a brief description of the material terms of the SSLA.
As of June 30, 2011, we had $231.2 million of senior debt outstanding, compared to $232.0 million at September 30, 2010, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 0.3%. The SSLA is an uncommitted facility that provides common terms and conditions pursuant to which individual lenders that are a party to the SSLA may choose to make loans to us in the future. Any lender may elect not to participate in any future fundings at any time without penalty. As of June 30, 2011, we could request up to $82.8 million in additional funds and remain in compliance with the terms of the SSLA. No lender, however, has any contractual obligation to lend us these additional funds. As of June 30, 2011 we were in compliance with all covenants under the SSLA.
Advances outstanding under the revolving credit line were $17.7 million as of June 30, 2011 and $21.4 million as of September 30, 2010. When a lender elects not to participate in future fundings, any existing borrowings from that lender under the revolving credit line are payable in 12 equal monthly installments. Interest on borrowings under the revolving credit line is payable monthly and is based on prime or 5.0%, whichever is greater. Interest on borrowings was 5.0% at June 30, 2011 and 2010.
As of June 30, 2011, the lenders have indicated a willingness to participate in fundings up to an aggregate of $315.9 million during the next 12 months, an increase of $48.7 million from September 30, 2010, of which $231.2 million is currently outstanding. Included in this amount are borrowings of $19.1 million from withdrawing banks who previously participated in the SLA or SSLA.
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, we amended the SSLA to allow additional banks to become parties to the SSLA under a modified non-voting role. We have identified each lender that has voting rights under the SSLA as voting bank(s) and lenders that do not have voting rights under the SSLA as non-voting bank(s). While all voting and non-voting banks have the same rights to the collateral and are a party to the same terms and conditions of the SSLA, all of the non-voting banks acknowledge and agree that they have no right to vote on any matter nor to prohibit or restrict any action by us, or the voting banks.

(1) Maximum available credit assumes proceeds in excess of the amounts shown below under Credit facility available are used to increase qualifying finance receivables and all terms of the SSLA are met, including maintaining a senior indebtedness to consolidated net receivable ratio of not more than 80.0%.
(2) Includes 48-month amortizing term notes.
(3) Credit available is based on the existing asset borrowing base and maintaining a senior indebtedness to consolidated net notes receivable ratio of not more than 80%. Does not include withdrawing banks.
Subordinated Debt - Parent. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, we amended our SSLA to convert the parent note from a term facility to a revolving line of credit. Funding on this line of credit is provided as needed at our discretion and dependent upon the availability of our parent with a maximum principal balance of $25.0 million. Interest is payable monthly and is based on prime or 5.0%, whichever is greater. As of September 30, 2010, we had an outstanding subordinated-debt due to our parent of $11.9 million. During the first and second quarters of 2011, we made payments on this debt in the amount of $11.9 million. As of June 30, 2011, we do not have an outstanding balance.
Outstanding Investment Notes. We fund certain capital and financial needs through the sale of investment notes. These notes have varying fixed interest rates and are subordinate to all senior indebtedness. We can redeem these notes at any time upon 30 days written notice. As of June 30, 2011, we had outstanding $55.7 million of these notes (with accrued interest), which includes a $0.4 million purchase adjustment. The purchase adjustments relate to fair value adjustments recorded as part of the Transaction. These notes had a weighted average interest rate of 9.21%. Included in the $55.7 million is approximately $2.7 million of funds from our most recent offering. See discussion in Item No.1 Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Our finance income is generally not sensitive to fluctuations in market interest rates. We currently do not experience interest rate sensitivity on our borrowings. Our revolving grid notes bear interest per annum at the prime rate of interest; however, the minimum interest rate per annum cannot be less than 5.00% in accordance with our SSLA. The prime rate as of June 30, 2011 was 3.25%. In order for any impact to occur, the prime rate will need to increase more than 175 basis points. Our amortizing notes bear interest based on the 90 day moving average rate of treasury notes plus 270 basis points; however, the minimum interest rate per annum cannot be less than 6.25% in accordance with our SSLA. The 90 day moving average rate of treasury notes as of June 30, 2011 was 1.07% In order for any impact to occur, the 90 day moving average rate of treasury notes would need to increase by 227 basis points.
ITEM 4T. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (evaluation date), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2011. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date the evaluation was completed.
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. We are not involved in any material litigation nor, to our knowledge, is any material litigation pending or threatened against us, other than routine litigation arising out of the ordinary course of business or which is expected to be covered by insurance and in the opinion of management, not expected to harm our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Financial reform legislation enacted by Congress in 2010 eliminated the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), increased capital requirements, created a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and resulted in many new laws and regulations that will increase our costs of operations.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act) was signed into law on July 21, 2010. This financial reform law will materially change the current bank regulatory environment and affect the lending, deposit, investment, trading and operating activities of financial and depositary institutions and their holding companies and affiliates. Most provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act became effective on July 21, 2011 (the Transfer Date).
Certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act will have an impact on us, and such impact will be significant. The Dodd-Frank Act eliminated the OTS, which was the primary federal regulator for MCB and its affiliates, including our parent, which is a thrift holding company. Oversight of federally chartered thrift institutions, like MCB, has been transferred to the Office of Comptroller of the Currency (the OCC), the primary federal regulator for national banks. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve) now has exclusive authority to regulate all bank and thrift holding companies and their non-bank subsidiaries. As a result, MCB and our parent are now subject to regulation and supervision by the OCC and Federal Reserve, respectively, instead of the OTS. These changes occurred on the Transfer Date. Under prior OTS regulations, our parent was not subject to specific capital requirements; however, the Dodd-Frank Act requires the Federal Reserve to create new regulatory capital requirements that our parent must achieve and maintain. The Dodd-Frank Act also mandates that the Federal Reserve conduct regular examinations of activities of non-bank affiliates. This will likely mean that the Federal Reserve will examine our activities. The Dodd-Frank Act also created a CFBP authorized to promulgate and enforce consumer protection regulations relating to financial products, which will affect both bank and non-bank finance companies. We will become subject to the consumer regulations promulgated by the CFPB.
The Dodd-Frank Act also weakens the federal preemption of state laws and regulations previously available to national banks and federal thrifts. Most importantly to us, it eliminates federal preemption for subsidiaries, affiliates and agents of national banks and federal thrifts. Because our existing business model relied upon such federal preemption, these changes will have a significant impact upon us and have required us to change some of our current business operations. Certain state laws became applicable to us on the Transfer Date and will require us to become licensed and regulated in various states as a small loan lender if we purchase certain consumer loans originated by MCB. A newly formed subsidiary has applied for licenses as a small loan lender in certain states and that subsidiary will purchase loans from MCB made to residents of such states who were located in their home state when the loan was made.
While the Dodd-Frank Act has been signed into law and became effective on the Transfer Date, many provisions of the law remain to be implemented through the rulemaking process at various regulatory agencies. We are unable to predict what the final form of those rules will be when implemented by the respective regulatory agencies. Management believes that certain aspects of the new legislation, including, without limitation, the costs of compliance with disclosure and reporting requirements and examinations, will have a significant impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The regulatory burden and cost of compliance with the new federal regulations, and with state statutes and regulations which were previously preempted, will increase significantly. Additionally, we cannot predict whether there will be additional proposed laws or reforms that would affect the U.S. financial system or financial institutions, whether or when such changes may be adopted, how such changes may be interpreted and enforced or how such changes would affect us.
ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On January 21, 2010, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) declared our 2010 Registration Statement effective. On January 28, 2011, the SEC declared effective our post effective amendment to the 2010 Registration Statement (2011 Post Effective Amendment). Pursuant to the 2011 Post Effective Amendment Registration Statement and the accompanying prospectus, we registered and are offering up to $25.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our investment notes, with a maximum aggregate offering price of $25.0 million, on a continuous basis with an expected termination on January 28, 2013 (Offering) unless terminated earlier at our
discretion. As of June 30, 2011, we have issued 306 notes in the approximate aggregate principal amount of $24.8 million. Costs incurred in connection with the preparation of the 2011 Post Effective Amendment to the effective date were approximately $191,995. Our expenses incurred in connection with the issuance and distribution of the investment notes from the effective date of the 2010 registration statement through June 30, 2011 were approximately $127,118. The net offering proceeds through June 30, 2011 were approximately $24.8 million.
On January 28, 2011, the SEC also declared effective a new registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-171745) under which along with the accompanying prospectus, we registered and are offering an additional $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our investment notes, with a maximum aggregate offering price of $50.0 million on a continuous basis with an expected termination on January 28, 2013, unless terminated earlier at our discretion (2011 Registration Statement). As of June 30, 2011, we issued 81 investment notes, in conjunction with this offering, with an aggregate value of approximately $2.7 million.
