Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, Material Impa


ITEM 2.05 COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES

On September 24, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan to significantly modify the business plan and strategy of the Company's Mexico-based pawn operations to include only full-service pawn locations that offer pawn loans based on the pledge of general merchandise and jewelry-based collateral (the "Mexico Reorganization"). In connection with the Mexico Reorganization, the Company has discontinued the operations of 148 of its Mexico-based pawn locations that primarily offered pawn loans based only on the pledge of jewelry-based collateral ("jewelry-only pawn locations"). As of December 31, 2012, the Company was operating 47 full-service pawn locations in Mexico. Prior to the announcement of the Mexico Reorganization, the Company's Mexico-based pawn operations had reported losses from its operations in Mexico, primarily due to unprofitable stores, many of which were jewelry-only pawn locations. The Mexico Reorganization was a result of the Company's decision to modify its strategy in Mexico to achieve profitability in its Mexico-based pawn operations and to evaluate the potential to expand its services to customers in Latin American markets.

The Company previously announced that it anticipates that it will incur total charges relating to the Mexico Reorganization of between $28 million and $32 million. The Mexico Reorganization was substantially complete as of December 31, 2012, and the Company expects that any remaining reorganization items will be completed during 2013. The Company recognized $28.9 million of charges related to the Mexico Reorganization during 2012, of which $21.9 million and $7.0 million of charges were incurred in the third and fourth quarters of 2012, respectively. The Company does not anticipate that it will incur any additional material costs related to the Mexico Reorganization.

This amendment is being filed to include the amounts, as applicable, for each major category of cost associated with the Mexico Reorganization. The following table provides estimated costs, including costs that have already been incurred through December 31, 2012, in connection with the Mexico Reorganization (dollars in thousands):

          Description of Mexico Reorganization Charges          Amount
          Impairment and losses on property and equipment      $  7,478
          Deferred tax asset valuation allowance                  7,161
          Impairment of intangible assets                         5,086
          Employee termination costs                              2,424
          Inventory shrinkage and loss on sale of assets          2,395
          Lease termination costs                                 1,628
          Impairment of other assets                              1,211
          Other restructuring charges                               798
          Uncollectible receivables and other                       692

          Total charges related to the Mexico Reorganization   $ 28,873


Of the total charges relating to the Mexico Reorganization, approximately $3.5 million resulted in cash expenditures related to employee termination costs, the termination of leases and other, all of which were paid during the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company does not anticipate that it will incur any material future cash expenditures related to the Mexico Reorganization.
