Ownership, Nature of Business, and Significant Accounting Policies
Ownership, Nature of Business, and Significant Accounting Policies	Note 1. Ownership, Nature of Business, and Significant Accounting Policies Nature of business: CCF Holdings LLC (the “Company” or “CCF”) is a provider of alternative financial services to unbanked and under-banked consumers. The Company was formed in 2018 and succeeded to the business and operations of Community Choice Financial Inc.. The Company owned and operated 452 retail locations in 12 states and was licensed to deliver similar financial services over the internet in 27 states as of September 30, 2020. Through its network of retail locations and over the internet, the Company provides customers a variety of financial products and services, including secured and unsecured, short-term and medium-term consumer loans, check cashing, prepaid debit cards, and other services that address the specific needs of its individual customers. As an “emerging growth company”, the Company is permitted to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has chosen to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. COVID-19 Pandemic: The 2019 novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) has adversely affected, and will continue to adversely affect, economic activity globally, nationally, and locally. It is unknown the extent to which COVID-19 may spread, may have a destabilizing effect on financial and economic activity and may increasingly have the potential to negatively impact the Company’s and its customers’ costs, demand for the Company’s products and services, and the U.S. economy. These conditions could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. Further, COVID-19 may result in health or other government authorities requiring the closure of the Company’s operations or businesses of the Company’s customers and suppliers, which could significantly disrupt the Company’s operations and the operations of the Company’s customers. As of September 30, 2020, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company had experienced a significant decline in portfolio levels and in the demand for its products and services. Declining portfolio levels will have a negative impact on operating profits and liquidity and will impact our ability to meet all debt financing and covenant obligations. A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies follows: Basis of presentation: The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. They do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to prevent the information from being misleading, the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on October 20, 2020. All adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial condition, have been included. The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. On June 8, 2020, the Company received notice from its registered public accounting firm, RSM US LLP (“RSM”), that RSM resigned effective immediately due to an independence issue. RSM’s resignation was not due to any reason related to the Company’s or its predecessor’s financial reporting or accounting operations, policies, or practices. As a result of this independence issue, RSM stated that it had concluded that reliance should no longer be placed on (i) the audit report of RSM relating to the 2019 and 2018 financial statements of the Company and its predecessor, as applicable, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, (ii) the audit report of RSM relating to the financial statements of the Company and its predecessor, as applicable, for the period December 13, 2018 (inception of the Company) through December 31, 2018 and for the predecessor period from January 1, 2018 through December 12, 2018 included in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, and (iii) its reviews of the Company’s interim financial information for the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2019 and March 31, 2020. The Company has engaged a new independent registered public accounting firm to audit and review the periods noted above, as applicable. Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2020, were both filed on October 20, 2020. Basis of consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CCF and subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Business segments: FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280 Segment Reporting requires that a public enterprise report a measure of segment profit or loss, certain specific revenue and expense items, segment assets, information about the way operating segments were determined and other items. The Company reports operating segments in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 280. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in determining how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company operates in two segments: Retail financial services (“Retail segment”) and Internet financial services (“Internet segment”). Revenue recognition: Transactions include loans, credit service fees, check cashing, bill payment, money transfer, money order sales, and other miscellaneous products and services. The recognized revenue from these transactions is classified in the following categories: Finance receivables fees—Advance fees and direct costs incurred for the origination of secured and unsecured short-term and medium-term consumer loans are deferred and amortized over the loan period using the interest method. Revenue on loans determined to be troubled debt restructurings are recognized at the impaired loans’ original interest rates until the impaired loans are charged off or paid by the customer. Revenues from short-term and medium-term consumer loans are recognized and the performance obligation is satisfied over the term of the loan. Credit service fees—Credit service organization and credit access bureau (collectively “CSO”) fees are recognized over the arranged credit service period. ASC 606 requires product sales to be allocated based on performance obligation. CSO performance obligations include the guarantee and the arrangement of the loan. The guarantee portion of the fees are recognized over the period of the loan as the guarantee represents the primary performance obligation. The arrangement of the loan represents a small portion of the CSO fee, and the net impact resulting from the application of ASC 606 for this portion of the fee would not be material. Credit service fees are recognized and the performance obligation is satisfied over the term of the related loan. Check cashing fees—The full amount of the check cashing fee is recognized as revenue at the time of the transaction. The revenue is recognized and the performance obligation is satisfied at the time the service is provided. Card fees and Other—The Company acts in an agency capacity regarding bill payment services, money transfers, card products, and money orders offered and sold at its retail locations. The Company records the net amount retained as revenue because the supplier is the primary obligor in the arrangement, the amount earned by the Company is fixed, and the supplier is determined to have the ultimate credit risk. The revenue is recognized and the performance obligation is satisfied at the time the service is provided. Disaggregation of revenues—Revenues for finance receivable and CSO fees are recognized over the term of the loan and were $30,062 and $63,630 for the three months, and $108,245 and $193,886 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Revenues for check cashing, card fees, and other are recognized at the time of service and were $23,854 and $21,263 for the three months, and $73,325 and $59,996 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively. The following table illustrates the disaggregation of revenues by segment for the three months and nine months ending September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Short-term consumer loans can be unsecured or secured with a maturity up to ninety days. Unsecured short-term loan products typically range in principal from $100 to $1,000, with a maturity between fourteen and thirty days, and include a written agreement to defer the presentment of the customer’s personal check or preauthorized debit for the aggregate amount of the advance plus fees. This form of lending is based on applicable laws and regulations, which vary by state. State statutes vary from charging fees of 5% to 27%, to charging interest up to 25% per month. The customers repay the cash advance by making cash payments or allowing a check or preauthorized debit to be presented. Secured consumer loans with a maturity of ninety days or less are included in this category and represented 18.6% and 14.2% of short-term consumer loans at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Medium-term consumer loans can be unsecured or secured with a maturity greater than ninety days and up to thirty-six months. Unsecured medium-term products typically range from $100 to $5,000, and are evidenced by a promissory note with a maturity between three and thirty-six months. These consumer loans vary in structure depending upon the applicable laws and regulations where they are offered. The medium-term consumer loans are payable in installments or provide for a line of credit with periodic payments. Secured consumer loans with a maturity greater than ninety days are included in this category and represented 14.0% and 15.4% of medium-term consumer loans at September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively. Allowance for loan losses: Provisions for loan losses are charged to income in amounts sufficient to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses, an adequate accrual for losses related to guaranteed loans processed for third-party lenders under the CSO program, and an accrual for the debt buyer liability. The factors used in assessing the overall adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the accrual for losses related to guaranteed loans made by third-party lenders, and the debt buyer liability, and the resulting provision for loan losses include an evaluation by product, by market based on historical loan loss experience, and delinquency of certain medium-term consumer loans. The Company evaluates various qualitative factors that may or may not affect the computed initial estimate of the allowance for loan losses, by using internal valuation inputs including historical loan loss experience, delinquency, overall portfolio quality, and current economic conditions. For short term unsecured consumer loans, the Company’s policy is to charge off loans when they become past due. The Company’s policy dictates that, where a customer has provided a check or an electronic payment authorization for presentment upon the maturity of a loan, if the customer has not paid off the loan by the due date, the Company will deposit the customer’s check or draft the customer’s bank account for the amount due. If the check or draft is returned as unpaid, all accrued fees and outstanding principal are charged-off as uncollectible. For short term secured loans, the Company’s policy requires that balances be charged off when accounts are either thirty or sixty days past due depending on the product. The Company had $879 and $1,560 of loans in non-accrual status as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The amount of the resulting charge-off includes unpaid principal, accrued interest and any uncollected fees, if applicable. For medium term secured and unsecured consumer loans that have a term of one year or less, the Company’s policy requires that balances be charged off when accounts are sixty days past due. For medium term secured and unsecured consumer loans that have an initial maturity of greater than one year, the Company’s policy requires that balances be charged off when accounts are ninety-one days past due. The Company accrues interest on past-due loans until charge off. The amount of the resulting charge-off includes unpaid principal, accrued interest and any uncollected fees, if applicable. In certain markets, the Company reduced interest rates and favorably changed payment terms for medium-term consumer loans to assist borrowers in avoiding default and to mitigate risk of loss. These reduced interest rates and changed payment terms were limited to loans that the Company believed the customer had the ability to pay in the foreseeable future. These loans were accounted for as troubled debt restructurings and represent the only loans considered impaired due to the nature of the Company’s charge-off policy. Recoveries of amounts previously charged off are recorded to the allowance for loan losses or the accrual for third‑party losses in the period in which they are received. Goodwill and other intangible assets: Goodwill, or cost in excess of fair value of net assets of the companies acquired, is recorded at its carrying value and is periodically evaluated for impairment. The Company tests the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets annually as of December 31 or when the events and circumstances warrant such a review. One of the methods for this review is performed using estimates of future cash flows. If the carrying value of goodwill or other intangible assets is considered impaired, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the goodwill or intangible assets exceeds its fair value. Changes in estimates of cash flows and fair value, however, could affect the valuation. Due to the macroeconomic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company conducted a test for impairment of goodwill for the Retail segment as of March 31, 2020, and recorded an impairment of $11,288. The methodology for determining the fair value was a combination of quoted market prices, prices of comparable businesses, discounted cash flows and other valuation techniques. The Company’s goodwill was fully impaired as of March 31, 2020. The Company’s other intangible assets consist of a trade name and favorable lease. The amount recorded for other intangible assets is amortized using the straight-line method over seven years. Intangible amortization expense was $110 and $110 for the three months, and $330 and $328 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Intangible assets were determined to be not impaired as of September 30, 2020. Deferred revenue: The Company’s deferred revenue is comprised of an upfront fee received under an agency agreement to offer wire transfer services at the Company’s branches. The deferred revenue is recognized over the contract period on a straight-line basis. Revenue recognized from the upfront fees totaled $634 and $634 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $1,901 and $1,901 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and is included in Other revenues on the consolidated statement of operations. Debt buyer liability: The Company records a liability for the secured and unsecured revolving loans offered by third parties expected to default, as the Company is required to purchase loans that default per debt buying agreements. This liability is disclosed as part of accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Deferred payroll taxes: The Company recorded a liability for the deferral of its share of payroll taxes as an option to improve liquidity offered by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. The CARES Act allows employers to defer deposits of the employer’s portion of the FICA tax due from March 27, 2020, through December 31, 2020. Half of the deferred amount is due by December 31, 2021, with the other half due by December 31, 2022. Fair value of financial instruments: 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 markets that are less attractive. · Level 3—Unobservable inputs for assets and liabilities reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions. The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820‑10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which applies to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. ASC 820‑10 requires a disclosure that establishes a framework for measuring fair value within GAAP and expands the disclosure about fair value measurements. This standard enables a reader of consolidated financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The standard requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the three categories. In determining the appropriate levels, the Company performed a detailed analysis of the assets and liabilities that are subject to ASC 820-10. At each reporting period, all assets and liabilities for which the fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs are classified as Level 3. The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, finance receivables, restricted cash, and notes payable. For all such instruments, including notes payable at September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values. Finance receivables are short term in nature and are originated at prevailing market rates and lines of credit bear interest at current market rates. The fair value of finance receivables at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, approximates carrying value and is measured using internal valuation inputs including historical loan loss experience, delinquency, overall portfolio quality, and current economic conditions. The fair value of the PIK notes was determined at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. As more fully described in Note 5, the fair value of the PIK notes was determined using an approach that considered both a Black Scholes option price methodology and the intrinsic value of the notes on an ‘‘as-if-converted’’ basis.

This guidance eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. Any impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill. This guidance also eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment, and if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. This guidance is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 for emerging growth companies. The Company elected to early adopt the provisions of ASU 2017-04 during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Subsequent events: The Company has evaluated its subsequent events (events occurring after September 30, 2020) through the issuance date of November 13, 2020 .

Ohio House Bill 123 (“HB123”) prohibits CSO transactions in Ohio on or after April 28, 2019, at which time, the Ohio CSO product was no longer offered. Total gross finance receivables for which the Company has recorded an accrual for third-party lender losses totaled $3,782 and $12,096 at September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively, and the corresponding guaranteed consumer loans are disclosed as an off-balance sheet arrangement. The total gross finance receivables for the Ohio CSO product consist of $57 and $7,143 in medium-term loans at September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively. The total gross finance receivables for the Texas CSO product consist of $3,725 and $4,953 in short-term loans at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

For the Ohio CSO Program, the Company was required to purchase $32 and $180 of short-term loans and $-0- and $4,070 of medium-term loans during the three months, and $153 and $12,389 of short-term loans and $1,364 and $7,143 of medium-term loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively. As these loans were in default when purchased, they met the Company’s policy and were fully charged-off at acquisition. The Company recognized recoveries of $93 and $263 of short-term and $171 and $1,172 of medium-term collections on these loans during the three months, and $265 and $9,595 of short-term and $1,008 and $1,749 of medium-term collections on these loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively. For the Texas CSO Program, the Company was required to purchase $3,369 and $4,715 of short-term loans during the three months, and $10,000 and $10,699 of short-term loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As these loans were in default when purchased, they met the Company’s policy and were fully charged-off at acquisition. The Company recognized recoveries of $1,580 and $1,349 of short-term collections on these loans during the three months, and $5,252 and $3,865 of short-term collections on these loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Additionally, certain subsidiaries of ours entered debt buying agreements with other third parties whereby the subsidiaries will purchase certain delinquent loans. Total gross finance receivables for which the Company recorded a debt buyer liability was $20,500 and $28,444 and the amount reserved for the debt buyer liability was $2,359 and $3,474 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The purchase price for any delinquent loan is equal to an agreed upon percentage of the unpaid principal balance and accrued interest and fees. The Company records these at fair value and the difference between the purchase price and expected recoverability is charged through the provision for loan losses. The Company has determined the fair value at repurchase based on a historical review of collections on defaulted or delinquent loans. The Company will sell to a third-party or will charge-off the remaining balance after a certain time period of collections activity. Under the debt buying agreements, the Company’s subsidiaries purchased $2,183 and $8,427 of loans and recognized recoveries of $1,097 and $3,195 of collections on these loans during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, and purchased $2,990 and $3,499 of loans and recognized recoveries of $346 and $414 of collections on these loans during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. Changes in the accrual for the debt buyer liability for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, were as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Balance, beginning of period $ $ $ $ - Debt buyer defaults (loans purchased) Provision for new loans, including changes in estimates Balance, end of period $ $ $ $ The amounts included in the provision for loan losses on the consolidated statement of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $2 and $4,117, net of recognized recoveries of $1,098 and $3,195, respectively.

The Company considers the near-term repayment performance of finance receivables as its primary credit quality indicator. The Company performs credit checks through consumer reporting agencies on certain borrowers. If a third-party lender provides the advance, the applicable third‑party lender decides whether to approve the loan and establishes all the underwriting criteria and terms, conditions, and features of the customer’s loan agreement. The aging of receivables at September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, were as follows: September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Current finance receivables $ % $ % Past due finance receivables (1 - 30 days) Secured short-term consumer loans % % Unsecured short-term consumer loans % % Short-term consumer loans % % Secured medium-term consumer loans % % Unsecured medium-term consumer loans % % Medium-term consumer loans % % Total past due finance receivables (1 - 30 days) % % Past due finance receivables (31 - 60 days) Secured medium-term consumer loans % % Unsecured medium-term consumer loans % % Medium-term consumer loans % % Total past due finance receivables (31 - 60 days) % % Past due finance receivables (61 - 90 days) Secured medium-term consumer loans - % - % Unsecured medium-term consumer loans % % Medium-term consumer loans % % Total past due finance receivables (61 - 90 days) % % Total delinquent % % $ % $ % Finance receivables in non-accrual status $ % $ %

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Note 4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The following table summarizes goodwill and other intangible assets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019: September 30, December 31, 2020 2019 Goodwill $ — $ 11,288 Other intangible assets, net: Trade names $ 2,293 $ 2,624 Favorable lease 16 26 $ 2,309 $ 2,650 The Company tests the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets annually as of December 31 or when the events and circumstances warrant such a review. One of the methods for this review is performed using estimates of future cash flows. If the carrying value of goodwill or other intangible assets is considered impaired, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the goodwill or intangible assets exceeds its fair value. Changes in estimates of cash flows and fair value, however, could affect the valuation. Due to the macroeconomic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company conducted a test for impairment of goodwill for the Retail segment as of March 31, 2020 and recorded an impairment of $11,288. The methodology for determining the fair value was a combination of quoted market prices, prices of comparable businesses, discounted cash flows and other valuation techniques. For the discounted cash flow model, the most significant inputs were revenue and EBITDA projections, expected changes in working capital, and capital expenditure needs. The discount rate used in the model was approximately 17.0%. The Company’s goodwill was fully impaired as of March 31, 2020. The carrying amounts of goodwill by reportable segment at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were as follows: September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Retail Internet Retail Internet Financial Services Financial Services Total Financial Services Financial Services Total Goodwill $ 11,288 $ — $ 11,288 $ 11,288 $ — $ 11,288 Impairment loss (11,288) — (11,288) — — — $ — $ — $ — $ 11,288 $ — $ 11,288 Intangible amortization expense was $110 and $110 for the three months, and $330 and $328 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively. There were no significant changes to other intangible assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Intangible assets were determined to be not impaired as of September 30, 2020.

Pledged Assets and Debt
Pledged Assets and Debt	Note 5. Pledged Assets and Debt PIK notes payable at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 consisted of the following: September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Principal Discount Fair Value Principal Discount Fair Value Senior PIK notes, 10.750% interest payable in-kind, due December 2023 $ 324,408 $ 307,338 $ 17,070 $ 307,860 $ 233,617 $ 74,243 324,408 307,338 17,070 307,860 233,617 74,243 Less current maturities — — — — — — Long-term portion $ 324,408 $ 307,338 $ 17,070 $ 307,860 $ 233,617 $ 74,243 The Company elected to apply the fair value option to the PIK Notes because the notes were initially recognized at a significant discount, all subsequent interest will be paid-in kind rather than in cash, and management expects it to be likely that the notes will be converted to equity upon maturity. For these reasons, management believes reporting the PIK Notes at fair value provides better information to the users of the Company’s financial statements. The fair value option was not elected for the Company’s other debt obligations because they do not have the same characteristics as the PIK Notes. The fair value of the PIK Notes was determined using an approach that considered both a Black Scholes option price methodology and the intrinsic value of the notes on an ‘‘as-if-converted’’ basis. This approach was selected because the PIK Notes are expected to be converted to equity upon redemption and the face value of the PIK Notes is greater than the enterprise value of the Company. Significant assumptions used in the Black Scholes option price methodology include the following: September 30, December 31, 2020 2019 Risk-free interest rate Dividend yield Expected volatility Expected term (years) 3.20 3.95 The risk-free interest rate is based on the weighted yield on 3-year and 5-year Treasury bonds, and the expected volatility was determined using the guideline public company method. The expected term is based on when management expects the PIK Notes to be redeemed for equity. The intrinsic value at each measurement date is based on the estimated enterprise value adjusted for net debt, and assumes a redemption of all outstanding PIK Notes at that time. An average of the allocated value from the Black Scholes option price methodology and the intrinsic value is used to estimate fair value at each measurement date. The change in the fair value of the PIK Notes of ($517) and $6,637 during the three months ended, and $73,720 and $1,484 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively, has been recognized in other comprehensive income as the entire change in fair value is attributable to the instrument-specific credit risk of the PIK Notes. We measure the fair value of the PIK Notes on a quarterly basis using a similar methodology, unless there is a quoted market price that can be used instead. Interest on the PIK Notes accrues at the rate of 10.750% per annum and is payable by increasing the principal amount of the PIK Notes. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears for the prior six-month period on June 15 and December 15 to the Holders of PIK Notes of record on the immediately preceding June 1 and December 1. Interest on the PIK Notes is accrued and recorded as accrued interest until June 15 and December 15, at which time the accrual is released and the additional principal amount is recorded. The outstanding principal amount of the PIK Notes was increased by $16,547 on June 15, 2020, in lieu of payment of accrued interest. Accrued interest for the PIK Notes at September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, was $10,172 and $1,379, respectively, and is included as a current liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. On December 12, 2018, the Revolving Credit Agreement (which is an intercompany obligation and eliminated upon consolidation) was simultaneously amended and restated. The Revolving Credit Agreement initially provided for borrowings of up to $42,000 and had a maturity date of June 15, 2023. All borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of CCF OpCo, LLC (“CCF OpCo”), CCF Intermediate Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, the sole member of CCF OpCo and our wholly owned subsidiary and certain of CCF OpCo’s subsidiaries. The Revolving Credit Agreement is guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of CCF OpCo. We discuss this intercompany obligation because the intercompany obligation (and the collateral securing this intercompany obligation) has been given as security for the obligations under the Secured Notes. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate of 9.00% per annum. Those interest payments are used to fund the interest payments on the Secured Notes. Secured notes payable at September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, consisted of the following: September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Deferred Deferred Issuance Net Issuance Net Principal Costs Principal Principal Costs Principal $40,000 Secured note payable, 9.00%, collateralized by all Guarantor company assets, due June 2023 $ 40,000 $ — $ 40,000 $ 40,000 $ — $ 40,000 40,000 — 40,000 40,000 — 40,000 Less current maturities — — — — — — Long-term portion $ 40,000 $ — $ 40,000 $ 40,000 $ — $ 40,000 On December 12, 2018, CCF Financial Issuer, LLC (“CCF Issuer”) issued an aggregate principal amount of $42,000 in Secured Notes to previous holders of secured obligations. The Secured Notes bear interest at 9.00% per annum and mature on June 15, 2023. Pursuant to the indenture dated as of September 6, 2018, CCF Issuer and Community Choice Financial Holdings LLC each granted a pledge over all of their respective assets. CCF Issuer was also required to pledge its interests in the Revolving Credit Agreement and the security granted pursuant thereto as collateral for the obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement. The SPV Indenture also contains restrictive covenants that limit our subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends on or make other distributions or repurchase our capital stock or the capital stock of our subsidiaries, make certain investments, enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates, create liens or merge with or into other companies. On January 15, 2019, the Company repaid $2,000 of the outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement, and repurchased $2,000 of the Secured Notes and 7,143 Class B Common Units corresponding to the repurchased Secured Notes, with the payment allocated to the Secured Notes. The outstanding balances of the Credit Agreement and Secured Notes are $40,000 at September 30, 2020. Subsidiary notes payable at September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, consisted of the following: September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Deferred Deferred Issuance Net Issuance Net Principal Costs Principal Principal Costs Principal $73,000 Note, secured, 16.75%, collateralized by acquired loans, due April 2021 $ 69,000 $ 979 $ 68,021 $ 73,000 $ 367 $ 72,633 $1,425 Term note, secured, 4.75%, collateralized by financed asset, due November 2024 730 — 730 777 — 777 $1,165 Term note, secured, 4.50%, collateralized by financed asset, due May 2021 906 5 901 954 6 948 70,636 984 69,652 74,731 373 74,358 Less current maturities 69,971 984 68,987 128 1 127 Long-term portion $ 665 $ — $ 665 $ 74,603 $ 372 $ 74,231 On December 12, 2018, CCFI Funding II LLC, a non-guarantor subsidiary of CCF OpCo, entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of April 25, 2017 (as amended, amended and restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Ivy Credit Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, our borrowings under the Ivy Credit Agreement were increased from $63,500 to $70,000. The Ivy Credit Agreement was amended on March 18, 2019, to extend the maturity date to April 30, 2020, and establish an interest rate of 16.75% on the entire credit facility. The Agreement was further amended on September 9, 2019, to increase the Company’s borrowings from $70,000 to $73,000. The Ivy Credit Agreement was amended on February 7, 2020, to extend the maturity date to April 30, 2021 and amended on April 24, 2020, resulting in the credit facility being paid down from $73,000 to $69,000. The amendment also cancelled an $8,000 mandatory repayment due on April 30, 2020, raised the cap on allowable dividends to be paid by CCFI Funding II, LLC to its parent to $7,000 per month, temporarily reduced collateral coverage requirements, increased the advance rate on eligible receivables, and temporarily suspended an adjusted EBITDA test until the fourth quarter of 2020, which test will be based on new covenant levels to be determined. The $1,425 term note was amended on November 22, 2019, to extend the maturity date to November 22, 2024, and increased the interest rate to 4.75%. Capital structure and concerns about Company’s ability to continue as a going concern The Company’s indebtedness includes $69,000 outstanding under the Ivy Credit Agreement that is due in the second quarter of 2021, and its expected cash position will not be sufficient to repay this indebtedness as it becomes due. Decreased portfolio levels had a negative impact on operating profits and liquidity and will impact the Company’s ability to meet the Ivy Credit Agreement and Revolving Credit Agreement collateral coverage covenants and may trigger cross-default provisions. Management hired advisors to assist the Company with its capital structure. This engagement includes, but is not limited to, assisting the Company with efforts to amend its credit facilities, obtain waivers from its lenders, and to pursue other sources of capital. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to extend the maturity or otherwise refinance the Ivy Credit Agreement and amend the Ivy Credit Agreement and Revolving Credit Agreements’ covenants. Therefore, as of the issuance of our Form 10-Q, substantial doubt exists regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date of issuance.

Income Taxes	Note 11. Income Taxes The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return. The Company files consolidated or separate state income tax returns as permitted by the individual states in which it operates. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, is below the statutory rate due to the continued valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. The Company had no liability recorded for unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019. At September 30, 2020, the Company had gross deferred tax assets of $42,676 and a valuation allowance of $42,676. At December 31, 2019, the Company had gross deferred tax assets of $32,622, a net deferred tax liability of $16, and a valuation allowance of $32,606. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In evaluating whether a valuation allowance is needed for the deferred tax assets, the Company considered the ability to carry net operating losses back to prior periods, reversing taxable temporary differences, and estimates of future taxable income. There have been no credits or net operating losses that have expired. The projections were evaluated in light of past operating results and considered the risks associated with generating future taxable income due to macroeconomic conditions in the markets in which the Company operates, regulatory developments and cost containment. The Company will continue to evaluate the need for a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in future periods and will adjust the allowance as necessary if it determines that it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.

Transactions with Variable Interest Entities	Note 12. Transactions with Variable Interest Entities Certain subsidiaries of the Company have limited agency agreements with unaffiliated third-party lenders under the CSO program. The agreements govern the terms by which the Company refers customers to that lender, on a nonexclusive basis, for a possible extension of credit, processes loan applications, and commits to reimburse the lender for any loans or related fees that were not collected from such customers. As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the outstanding amount of active consumer loans guaranteed by the Company, which represents the Company’s maximum exposure, was $3,782 and $12,096, respectively. The outstanding amount of consumer loans with unaffiliated third-party lenders consists of $3,725 and $4,953 in short-term and $57 and $7,143 in medium-term loans at September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively. The accrual for third party lender losses related to these obligations totaled $1,185 and $2,570 as of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively. This obligation is recorded as a current liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, certain subsidiaries of ours entered into debt buying agreements with other third parties whereby the subsidiaries will purchase certain delinquent loans. Total gross finance receivables for which the Company recorded a debt buyer liability were $20,500 and $28,444 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The debt buyer liability was $2,359 and $3,474 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and is recorded as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company has determined that the lenders are Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) but that the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs. Therefore, the Company has not consolidated the lenders.

They do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to prevent the information from being misleading, the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on October 20, 2020. All adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial condition, have been included. The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. On June 8, 2020, the Company received notice from its registered public accounting firm, RSM US LLP (“RSM”), that RSM resigned effective immediately due to an independence issue. RSM’s resignation was not due to any reason related to the Company’s or its predecessor’s financial reporting or accounting operations, policies, or practices. As a result of this independence issue, RSM stated that it had concluded that reliance should no longer be placed on (i) the audit report of RSM relating to the 2019 and 2018 financial statements of the Company and its predecessor, as applicable, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, (ii) the audit report of RSM relating to the financial statements of the Company and its predecessor, as applicable, for the period December 13, 2018 (inception of the Company) through December 31, 2018 and for the predecessor period from January 1, 2018 through December 12, 2018 included in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, and (iii) its reviews of the Company’s interim financial information for the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2019 and March 31, 2020. The Company has engaged a new independent registered public accounting firm to audit and review the periods noted above, as applicable. Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2020, were both filed on October 20, 2020.
Basis of consolidation	Basis of consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CCF and subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Business segments	Business segments: FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280 Segment Reporting requires that a public enterprise report a measure of segment profit or loss, certain specific revenue and expense items, segment assets, information about the way operating segments were determined and other items. The Company reports operating segments in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 280. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in determining how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company operates in two segments: Retail financial services (“Retail segment”) and Internet financial services (“Internet segment”).
Revenue recognition	Revenue recognition: Transactions include loans, credit service fees, check cashing, bill payment, money transfer, money order sales, and other miscellaneous products and services. The recognized revenue from these transactions is classified in the following categories: Finance receivables fees—Advance fees and direct costs incurred for the origination of secured and unsecured short-term and medium-term consumer loans are deferred and amortized over the loan period using the interest method. Revenue on loans determined to be troubled debt restructurings are recognized at the impaired loans’ original interest rates until the impaired loans are charged off or paid by the customer. Revenues from short-term and medium-term consumer loans are recognized and the performance obligation is satisfied over the term of the loan. Credit service fees—Credit service organization and credit access bureau (collectively “CSO”) fees are recognized over the arranged credit service period. ASC 606 requires product sales to be allocated based on performance obligation. CSO performance obligations include the guarantee and the arrangement of the loan. The guarantee portion of the fees are recognized over the period of the loan as the guarantee represents the primary performance obligation. The arrangement of the loan represents a small portion of the CSO fee, and the net impact resulting from the application of ASC 606 for this portion of the fee would not be material. Credit service fees are recognized and the performance obligation is satisfied over the term of the related loan. Check cashing fees—The full amount of the check cashing fee is recognized as revenue at the time of the transaction. The revenue is recognized and the performance obligation is satisfied at the time the service is provided. Card fees and Other—The Company acts in an agency capacity regarding bill payment services, money transfers, card products, and money orders offered and sold at its retail locations. The Company records the net amount retained as revenue because the supplier is the primary obligor in the arrangement, the amount earned by the Company is fixed, and the supplier is determined to have the ultimate credit risk. The revenue is recognized and the performance obligation is satisfied at the time the service is provided. Disaggregation of revenues—Revenues for finance receivable and CSO fees are recognized over the term of the loan and were $30,062 and $63,630 for the three months, and $108,245 and $193,886 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively.

Finance receivables	For the nine months ending September 30, 2020 For the nine months ending September 30, 2019 Retail Internet Retail Internet Segment Segment Total Segment Segment Total Finance receivable and CSO fees $ 86,220 $ 22,025 $ 108,245 $ 161,304 $ 32,582 $ 193,886 Check cashing, card fees and other 72,715 610 73,325 59,102 894 59,996 Total revenues $ 158,935 $ 22,635 $ 181,570 $ 220,406 $ 33,476 $ 253,882 Finance receivables: Finance receivables consist of short term and medium‑term consumer loans. Short-term consumer loans can be unsecured or secured with a maturity up to ninety days. Unsecured short-term loan products typically range in principal from $100 to $1,000, with a maturity between fourteen and thirty days, and include a written agreement to defer the presentment of the customer’s personal check or preauthorized debit for the aggregate amount of the advance plus fees. This form of lending is based on applicable laws and regulations, which vary by state. State statutes vary from charging fees of 5% to 27%, to charging interest up to 25% per month. The customers repay the cash advance by making cash payments or allowing a check or preauthorized debit to be presented. Secured consumer loans with a maturity of ninety days or less are included in this category and represented 18.6% and 14.2% of short-term consumer loans at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Medium-term consumer loans can be unsecured or secured with a maturity greater than ninety days and up to thirty-six months. Unsecured medium-term products typically range from $100 to $5,000, and are evidenced by a promissory note with a maturity between three and thirty-six months. These consumer loans vary in structure depending upon the applicable laws and regulations where they are offered. The medium-term consumer loans are payable in installments or provide for a line of credit with periodic payments. Secured consumer loans with a maturity greater than ninety days are included in this category and represented 14.0% and 15.4% of medium-term consumer loans at September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Allowance for loan losses	Allowance for loan losses: Provisions for loan losses are charged to income in amounts sufficient to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses, an adequate accrual for losses related to guaranteed loans processed for third-party lenders under the CSO program, and an accrual for the debt buyer liability. The factors used in assessing the overall adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the accrual for losses related to guaranteed loans made by third-party lenders, and the debt buyer liability, and the resulting provision for loan losses include an evaluation by product, by market based on historical loan loss experience, and delinquency of certain medium-term consumer loans. The Company evaluates various qualitative factors that may or may not affect the computed initial estimate of the allowance for loan losses, by using internal valuation inputs including historical loan loss experience, delinquency, overall portfolio quality, and current economic conditions. For short term unsecured consumer loans, the Company’s policy is to charge off loans when they become past due. The Company’s policy dictates that, where a customer has provided a check or an electronic payment authorization for presentment upon the maturity of a loan, if the customer has not paid off the loan by the due date, the Company will deposit the customer’s check or draft the customer’s bank account for the amount due. If the check or draft is returned as unpaid, all accrued fees and outstanding principal are charged-off as uncollectible. For short term secured loans, the Company’s policy requires that balances be charged off when accounts are either thirty or sixty days past due depending on the product. The Company had $879 and $1,560 of loans in non-accrual status as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The amount of the resulting charge-off includes unpaid principal, accrued interest and any uncollected fees, if applicable. For medium term secured and unsecured consumer loans that have a term of one year or less, the Company’s policy requires that balances be charged off when accounts are sixty days past due. For medium term secured and unsecured consumer loans that have an initial maturity of greater than one year, the Company’s policy requires that balances be charged off when accounts are ninety-one days past due. The Company accrues interest on past-due loans until charge off. The amount of the resulting charge-off includes unpaid principal, accrued interest and any uncollected fees, if applicable. In certain markets, the Company reduced interest rates and favorably changed payment terms for medium-term consumer loans to assist borrowers in avoiding default and to mitigate risk of loss. These reduced interest rates and changed payment terms were limited to loans that the Company believed the customer had the ability to pay in the foreseeable future. These loans were accounted for as troubled debt restructurings and represent the only loans considered impaired due to the nature of the Company’s charge-off policy. Recoveries of amounts previously charged off are recorded to the allowance for loan losses or the accrual for third‑party losses in the period in which they are received.
Goodwill and other intangible assets	Goodwill and other intangible assets: Goodwill, or cost in excess of fair value of net assets of the companies acquired, is recorded at its carrying value and is periodically evaluated for impairment. The Company tests the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets annually as of December 31 or when the events and circumstances warrant such a review. One of the methods for this review is performed using estimates of future cash flows. If the carrying value of goodwill or other intangible assets is considered impaired, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the goodwill or intangible assets exceeds its fair value. Changes in estimates of cash flows and fair value, however, could affect the valuation. Due to the macroeconomic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company conducted a test for impairment of goodwill for the Retail segment as of March 31, 2020, and recorded an impairment of $11,288. The methodology for determining the fair value was a combination of quoted market prices, prices of comparable businesses, discounted cash flows and other valuation techniques. The Company’s goodwill was fully impaired as of March 31, 2020. The Company’s other intangible assets consist of a trade name and favorable lease. The amount recorded for other intangible assets is amortized using the straight-line method over seven years. Intangible amortization expense was $110 and $110 for the three months, and $330 and $328 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Intangible assets were determined to be not impaired as of September 30, 2020.
Deferred revenue	Deferred revenue: The Company’s deferred revenue is comprised of an upfront fee received under an agency agreement to offer wire transfer services at the Company’s branches. The deferred revenue is recognized over the contract period on a straight-line basis. Revenue recognized from the upfront fees totaled $634 and $634 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $1,901 and $1,901 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and is included in Other revenues on the consolidated statement of operations.
Debt buyer liability	Debt buyer liability: The Company records a liability for the secured and unsecured revolving loans offered by third parties expected to default, as the Company is required to purchase loans that default per debt buying agreements. This liability is disclosed as part of accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
Deferred payroll taxes	Deferred payroll taxes: The Company recorded a liability for the deferral of its share of payroll taxes as an option to improve liquidity offered by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. The CARES Act allows employers to defer deposits of the employer’s portion of the FICA tax due from March 27, 2020, through December 31, 2020. Half of the deferred amount is due by December 31, 2021, with the other half due by December 31, 2022.
Fair value of financial instruments	Fair value of financial instruments: 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 markets that are less attractive. · Level 3—Unobservable inputs for assets and liabilities reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions. The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820‑10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which applies to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. ASC 820‑10 requires a disclosure that establishes a framework for measuring fair value within GAAP and expands the disclosure about fair value measurements. This standard enables a reader of consolidated financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The standard requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the three categories. In determining the appropriate levels, the Company performed a detailed analysis of the assets and liabilities that are subject to ASC 820-10. At each reporting period, all assets and liabilities for which the fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs are classified as Level 3. The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, finance receivables, restricted cash, and notes payable. For all such instruments, including notes payable at September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values. Finance receivables are short term in nature and are originated at prevailing market rates and lines of credit bear interest at current market rates. The fair value of finance receivables at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, approximates carrying value and is measured using internal valuation inputs including historical loan loss experience, delinquency, overall portfolio quality, and current economic conditions. The fair value of the PIK notes was determined at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. As more fully described in Note 5, the fair value of the PIK notes was determined using an approach that considered both a Black Scholes option price methodology and the intrinsic value of the notes on an ‘‘as-if-converted’’ basis.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements : In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This guidance eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. Any impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill. This guidance also eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment, and if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. This guidance is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 for emerging growth companies. The Company elected to early adopt the provisions of ASU 2017-04 during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
