Easy Money Holding Corporation
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements,
including the notes thereto, include the accounts of Easy Money Holding
Corporation (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Such unaudited
consolidated financial statements are condensed and do not include all
disclosures and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. Such interim period financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial
statements which are included in the Company's December 31, 2001 Annual Report
on Form 10-KSB. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements as of June
30, 2002 and for the period ended June 30, 2001 are unaudited, but in
management's opinion, include all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows for such interim periods.
Operating results for the period ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected of the full fiscal year.
Note 2 - Debt
The Company currently maintains a credit line facility that permits us to
borrow up to an advance limit, which as of June 30, 2002, was $1,300,000. The
lender may increase or decrease the advance limit in its discretion. Borrowings
under the line of credit bear interest at a base rate (as specified by the
lender), plus 10%, payable monthly. We collateralized these borrowings by a
security interest in funds due from customers for advances and our property and
equipment and general intangibles. The financing agreement, among other things,
requires the consent of the lender for mergers, consolidations and acquisitions,
restricts changes in the nature of our business, restricts stockholder
distributions to amounts related to state and federal income taxes owed by them
and restricts repayment of principal on the loans made to us by our
shareholders. Outstanding borrowings under the line of credit as of June 30,
2002, amounted to $1,463,000. This amount exceeds our advance limit by $163,000
due to (1) increased cash requirements at the end of the Second Quarter of 2002
to meet customers demands for our product, (2) delayed payments made on the
credit line initiated at the end of the Second Quarter of 2002, but recorded at
the beginning of the Third Quarter of 2002.
On March 20, 2002 the Company amended this financing agreement that reduces
the line of credit facility's advance limit by $54,167 each month for a
successive twenty-four(24) month period commencing on July 1, 2002 and
terminating on June 1, 2004.

Note 3 - Income Taxes
Prior to April 1, 2002 the company was an S-Corporation. Income tax
expense/benefit associated with the earnings of the company prior to April 1,
2002 were passed through to the shareholders of the company. Subsequent to March
31, 2002 the S-corporation status was terminated and the company became a
C-Corporation. As such, all items of income tax expense/benefit are and will be
recognized by the Company. A deferred tax asset was recognized by the company in
the amount of $207 to reflect the C-corporation tax benefit for the loss
incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2002. The consolidated
statements of income include a pro forma income tax expense/benefit line item
for periods prior to April 1, 2002 to show the income tax effect as if the
Company was a C-corporation for all comparable time periods.
Note 4 - Earnings Per Share
Net income per basic share is computed based on the average common shares
outstanding during the period. Net income per diluted share is computed based on
the average common shares outstanding during the period adjusted for the effect
of potential common stock equivalents. The computation for basic and diluted net
income per share is as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001:

The pro forma net (loss)/income per diluted share has changed from the First
Quarter of 2002 to reflect a reduction of 600,000 shares related to the
termination of certain consultant's agreement as discussed in Note 5. .
Note 5 - Initial Registration with the SEC
On April 1, 2002, the Company, through a registration with the SEC under
the Securities Act of 1933 became a public company offering to sell shares to
the public and creating a market for trading those shares. The offering is on
6
a best efforts basis. There is no underwriter. The Company and selling
shareholders are offering to sell shares of common stock at a price of $2.50 per
share. The Company has set a 180-day deadline to sell a minimum of 100,000
shares starting April 2002, the effective date of the registration. Proceeds
will be deposited into an escrow account until the minimum is sold. If the
Company does not sell the minimum number of shares with in 180 days, the
proceeds will be returned without interest.
Note 6 - Contingencies
In certain states, the Company's operations are regulated under state
laws, which establish, among other things, maximum loan, advance and fee amounts
that may be charged. The Company believes that its procedures conform to the
applicable laws and regulations in all states in which it operates.
The Company has been named in four lawsuits that allege that the
Company engaged in deferred presentment transactions, which violate the Federal
Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and various state statutes
and regulations. Class certification has been obtained in one of these suits.
The range of loss on this suit is zero to the plaintiff's demand of $40 million.
Although there is a possibility of a loss in the remaining suits, management is
unable to estimate the range of loss due to the procedural status of these cases
and given the absence of precedent related to significant rulings on cases of
this nature. The Company intends to vigorously defend these claims. No accrual
of a loss contingency has been recorded by the Company related to these lawsuits
because the Company believes that it is not probable that a loss will be
incurred related to these lawsuits.
On July 23, 2002, the Louisiana Court dismissed the remaining RICO
claims in the class action suit involving Easy Money of Louisiana.
Additionally, the Company is, from time to time, a defendant (actual or
threatened) in certain other lawsuits encountered in the ordinary course of its
business, the resolution of which, in the opinion of management, should not have
a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In July 1998, in connection with an employee's employment agreement,
the Company agreed that if it were successful in becoming a public company
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, it would grant the
employee the option to purchase up to 25,000 shares at $1.00 per share. The
agreement further provided that in the event the value of the shares is less
than $4.00, the employee would be paid the difference. In May 2002, the employee
exercised the option, and loaned $75,000 back to the Company under a demand note
bearing interest at a rate of 18%. Compensation expense of $75,000 was
recognized in May 2002.
In May 2000, the Company entered into consulting agreements with three
unrelated third parties that agreed to provide certain services to the Company
in exchange for 600,000 shares of stock. In July 2002, the agreements were
terminated in accordance with the provisions of the agreements; therefore, no
shares were issued.
In August 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with an unrelated
third party which agreed to loan the Company $50,000. The purpose of the
proceeds was to fund the preparation of documents associated with the Company's
offering. In addition, if the Company is successful in becoming a public company
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, this party would receive
shares of stock with a value of $50,000. The Company amended the agreement such
that this party received shares of stock with a value of
7
$25,000. In April 2002, the Company issued 10,000 shares and satisfied its
$50,000 debt to the third party.

of Operations
Forward looking Information
This report contains "forward-looking statements" as defined in Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is subject to the safe harbor created

historical fact are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing,
the words "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," "seeks" and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although the
Company believes that the expectations reflected in forward-looking statements

be accurate. Generally, these statements relate to business plans, strategies,
anticipated strategies, levels of capital expenditures, liquidity and
anticipated capital funding needed to effect the business plan. All phases of
the Company's operations are subject to a number of uncertainties, risks and
other influences, many of which are outside the control of the Company and
cannot be predicted with any degree of accuracy. Factors such as changes in
regional or national economic conditions, changes in governmental regulations,
unforeseen litigation, changes in interest rates or tax rates, future business
decisions and other uncertainties may cause results to differ materially from
those anticipated by some of the statements made in this report. In light of the
significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements made, the
inclusion of such statements should not be regarded as a representation of the
Company or any other person that the objectives and plans of the Company will be
achieved. Security holders are cautioned that such forward-looking statements
contained within this report speak only as of the date of the report and the

or revisions to any such statement to reflect any change in the Company's
expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstance on which any
such statement is based.
General
Easy Money Holding Corporation provides specialty financial services by
advancing cash to customers and obtaining an authorization to draft their
personal checking account and agreeing to delay the draft until they redeem
their contract with us or until a short holding period has expired, which on
average is 18 days. We target customers who are currently employed and have an
active checking account. In exchange for our service, we receive a fee ranging
from approximately 15% to 30% of the amount of cash advanced to the customer. In
addition, through a limited number of our branches we also provide check cashing
services, money orders, Western Union payments and title advances that are
secured by the borrower's car title. We recently introduced an electronic
advance program that enables us to initiate and service a customer's cash
advance so that the customer need not go to a store. As of June 30, 2002 the
Company operated 52 stores in the following states: California (1 store), Kansas
(1 store), Louisiana (34 stores), New Mexico (9 stores), Nevada (5 stores),
Tennessee (1 store) and Utah (1 store).
We have made a significant investment in our electronic systems and
funding methodologies over the past 18 months. These investments have translated
into more sophisticated and efficient management systems. In addition, due to
the historical investment in our Information Systems, we are now in a position
to further leverage these technologies without the need for
8
additional resources. Management believes that substantial economies of scale
can be obtained by directing additional capital in our core business.
Beginning in 2000, we established a centralized processing center that
initiates and services various products without the need for a storefront
location. If a customer meets our flexible underwriting requirements, a contract
is sent electronically and the transaction is complete. The customer has two
options; he or she can opt for an "Easy Money" debit card or we can deposit the
advance directly into their personal checking account. This innovation has
allowed us to enter markets that have not previously been served and therefore,
we have encountered little or no competition. The lack of competition has
allowed us to aggressively price our services and strengthen underwriting
guidelines. This has resulted in an increase in fee revenues, reduced overhead
and profit margins. Reductions in operation capital have limited the Company's
ability to aggressively grow this customer base. Management intends on further
leveraging this business model if appropriate capital can be acquired.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to June 30, 2001
Revenues: Revenues increased $50,000 to $2,816,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2002 as compared to revenues of $2,766,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2001. Despite a reduction in stores from 58 at June 30, 2001 to
52 at June 30, 2002, we managed to increase our comparative revenues. This was a
result of a company wide focus on maintaining existing store revenues and a
continued growth within the electronic division. The decrease of 6 stores was in
low volume or low profit margin locations and areas where statutory changes
limited our business practices.
Provision for Credit Losses: For the three months ended June 30, 2002
our provision for credit losses was approximately $443,000 (15.72% of revenues)
as compared to $511,000 (18.48% of revenues) for the three months ended June 30,
2001. This decrease of approximately $68,000 was a result of continued efforts
by management, to enforce strict underwriting and collection procedures. Our net
charge-offs as a percentage of gross advances for the three months ended June
30, 2002 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001 was 2.88% versus
3.30% respectively.
Salaries and Benefits: Salaries and benefits increased approximately
$171,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002 ("the Second Quarter of 2002")
as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2001 ("the Second Quarter of
2001"). Salaries and benefits were $1,059,000 (37.62% of revenues) for the
Second Quarter of 2002 as compared to $888,000 (32.12% of revenues) for the
Second Quarter of 2001. This increase was attributable to building a stronger
management team and developing compensation packages including performance
awards and salaries consistent with market demands, along with $75,000 of
compensation expense related to an employment agreement. (See Contingencies)
Related Party Management Fee: Related Party Management fee decreased by
$30,000 to $56,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to
$86,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This reduction is largely due
to the substantial reduction in business conducted by related parties.
Management does not anticipate generating significant fees in future periods as
compared to historical periods.
Net Income and Pro Forma Net Income: We had a net loss of 517,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 2002, compared to net income of $85,000 for the
three months ended June 30,2001. After a pro forma income tax benefit of
$207,000 in 2002 and expense of $34,000 in 2001, respectively, we had pro forma
2002 net loss of $310,000 compared to pro forma 2001 net income of $51,000. The
decrease in income from 2001 to 2002 was primarily due to (1) increased legal
fees associated with the defense of the Company, (2) increased advertising
expense during the Second Quarter of 2002 to maximize the market share in our
existing locations. Management expects a subsequent reduction in advertising
costs for the remainder of the year, and 3) increased compensation costs
associated with salaries and benefits as discussed above. The income tax rate
remained consistent at 40% for the Second Quarter of 2002 and 2001.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to June 30, 2001
Revenues: Revenues increased $107,000 to $5,500,000 in 2002 as compared
to $5,393,000 in 2001. Despite a reduction in stores from 58 at June 30, 2001 to
52 at June 30, 2002, we managed to increase our comparative revenues. This was a
result of a company wide focus on maintaining existing store revenues and a
continued growth within the electronic division. The decrease of 6 stores was in
low volume or low profit margin locations and areas where statutory changes
10
limited our business practices. Average revenues per store, excluding the
electronic division, for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001 were
$84,000 and $81,000 respectively. Revenues for our electronic division increased
100 % from $577,000 to $1,158,000 for June 30, 2002 and 2001 respectively.
Provision for Credit Losses: For the six months ended June 30, 2002 our
provision for credit losses was approximately $516,000 (9.4% of revenues)
compared to $796,000 (14.75% of revenues) for the six months ended June 30,
2001. This decrease of approximately $280,000 was a result of continued efforts
involving daily management, underwriting and collection procedures. Our net
charge-offs as a percentage of gross advances for the June 30, 2002 period as
compared to the June 30, 2001 period was 1.76% versus 2.71% respectively. The
percentage of our allowance for credit losses as compared to our total advances
outstanding at June 30, 2002 versus June 30, 2001 was 5.05% and 5.50%
respectively.
Salaries and Benefits: Salaries and benefits increased approximately
$124,000 for the period ended June 30, 2002 as compared to June 30, 2001.
Salaries and benefits were $2,026,000 (36.83% of revenues) for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $1,903,000(35.28% of revenues) for the six
months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was attributable to building a
stronger management team and developing compensation packages including
performance awards and salaries consistent with market demands, along with the
compensation expense of $75,000 obligating an employment agreement for the
purpose of going public. (See Contingencies)
Related Party Management Fee: Related Party Management fee decreased by
$293,000 to $98,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to
$391,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This reduction is largely due
to the substantial reduction in business conducted by related parties.
Management does not anticipate generating significant fees in future periods as
compared to historical periods.
Net Income and Pro Forma Net Income: We had a net loss of 264,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to net income of $303,000 for the
six months ended June 30,2001. After a pro forma income tax benefit of $106,000
in 2002 and expense of $121,000 in 2001, respectively, we had pro forma 2002 net
loss of $158,000 compared to pro forma 2001 net income of $182,000. The decrease
in income from 2001 to 2002 was primarily due to (1) increased legal fees
associated with the defense of the Company, (2) increased advertising expense
during the Second Quarter of 2002 to maximize the market share in our existing
locations. Management expects a subsequent reduction in advertising costs for
the remainder of the year, and (3) increased compensation costs associated with
salaries and benefits as discussed above. The pro forma income tax rate remained
consistent at 40% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Condition
We use our cash to fund advances to customers, operating costs for
payroll, occupancy, general and administrative expenses, and investments in
capital equipment primarily to upgrade our system capabilities. Our sources of
cash are funds generated by our operations and borrowings from financial
institutions.
11
Cash Flows from Operating Activities: For the six months ended June 30,
2002 we had net cash provided by operating activities of $321,000. During the
six months ended June 30, 2001 net cash provided by operating activities was
$423,000. This decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was the
result of additional advertising, legal and compensation expense.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities: During the six months ended June
30, 2002 we had net cash used in financing activities of $288,000.During the six
months ended June 30, 2001 we had net cash used in financing activities of
$596,000. This reduction in cash used in financing activities is due to less
capital utilized for purposes of reducing our lines of credit in 2002.
The Company currently maintains a credit line facility that permits us
to borrow up to an advance limit, which as of June 30, 2002, was $1,300,000. The
lender may increase or decrease the advance limit in its discretion. Borrowings
under the line of credit bear interest at a base rate (as specified by the
lender), plus 10%, payable monthly. We collateralized these borrowings by a
security interest in funds due from customers for advances and our property and
equipment and general intangibles. The financing agreement, among other things,
requires the consent of the lender for mergers, consolidations and acquisitions,
restricts changes in the nature of our business, restricts stockholder
distributions to amounts related to state and federal income taxes owed by them
and restricts repayment of principal on the loans made to us by our
shareholders. Outstanding borrowings under the line of credit as of June 30,
2002, amounted to $1,463,000. This amount exceeds our advance limit by $163,000
due to (1) increased cash requirements at the end of the Second Quarter of 2002
to meet customers demands for our product, (2) delayed payments made on the
credit line initiated at the end of the Second Quarter of 2002, but recorded at
the beginning of the Third Quarter of 2002.
On March 20, 2002 the Company amended this financing agreement that
reduces the line of credit facility's advance limit by $54,167 each month for a
successive twenty-four-(24) month period commencing on July 1, 2002 and
terminating on June 1, 2004.
We have a deficiency in working capital of $1,635,000. Nonetheless,
we believe that by continuing to limit payments to shareholders for paydown of
shareholder debt (as of June 2002, the amount of shareholder debt was
$1,532,000), and our agreed paydown of our line of credit facilities ($56,167
per month beginning July 2002), along with reinvesting current and future period
earnings, we will have sufficient cash flow to meet our working capital needs.
Our working capital and customer growth plans beyond the next 12 months may
require additional debt and/or equity financing. The estimate of the time that
our funding sources will be sufficient to meet our current needs is a
forward-looking statement that is subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual
results and working capital needs may differ materially from our estimates.
Contingencies
In certain states, the Company's operations are regulated under state
laws, which establish, among other things, maximum loan, advance and fee amounts
that may be charged. The Company believes that its procedures conform to the
applicable laws and regulations in all states in which it operates.
The Company has been named in four lawsuits that allege that the
Company engaged in deferred presentment transactions, which violate the Federal
Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and various state statutes
and regulations. Class certification has been obtained in one of these
12
suits. The range of loss on this suit is zero to the plaintiff's demand of $40
million. Although there is a possibility of a loss in the remaining suits,
management is unable to estimate the range of loss due to the procedural status
of these cases and given the absence of precedent related to significant rulings
on cases of this nature. The Company intends to vigorously defend these claims.
No accrual of a loss contingency has been recorded by the Company related to
these lawsuits because the Company believes that it is not probable that a loss
will be incurred related to these lawsuits.
On July 23, 2002, the Louisiana Court dismissed the remaining RICO
claims in the class action suit involving Easy Money of Louisiana.
Additionally, the Company is, from time to time, a defendant (actual or
threatened) in certain other lawsuits encountered in the ordinary course of its
business, the resolution of which, in the opinion of management, should not have
a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In July 1998, in connection with an employee's employment agreement,
the Company agreed that if it were successful in becoming a public company
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, it would grant the
employee the option to purchase up to 25,000 shares at $1.00 per share. The
agreement further provided that in the event the value of the shares is less
than $4.00, the employee would be paid the difference. In May 2002, the employee
exercised the option, and loaned $75,000 back to the Company under a demand note
bearing interest at a rate of 18%. Compensation expense of $75,000 was
recognized in May 2002.
In May 2000, the Company entered into consulting agreements with three
unrelated third parties that agreed to provide certain services to the Company
in exchange for 600,000 shares of stock. In July 2002, the agreements were
terminated in accordance with the provisions of the agreements; therefore, no
shares were issued.
In August 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with an unrelated
third party which agreed to loan the Company $50,000. The purpose of the
proceeds was to fund the filing of documents associated with the Company's
offering. In addition, if the Company is successful in becoming a public company
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, this party would receive
shares of stock with a value of $50,000. The Company amended the agreement such
that this party will receive shares of stock with a value of $25,000. The
Company issued 10,000 shares and satisfied its $50,000 debt to the third party.
