Mr. Gordon Reykdal, CEO, commented "The third quarter was notable as we continue to see strong results in our core consumer lending and brokering business. We are pleased with the roll-out of our suite of lines of credit products in Manitoba and Ontario, which has contributed to increases in loan fees on a year over year basis - despite having consolidated more than 60 branches from our Canadian operations last year.
We have been working with our business partners to optimize pricing and improve our other financial services with the goal of providing the most value to consumers over the long term. We believe that this will result in our other revenue returning closer to historical levels during FY2014. We are excited as we continue to grow our new lines of credit that help consumers to rebuild their credit and help us to build longer term relationships with consumers. We also continue to execute against our strategy of continued platform and distribution growth. One way we are doing this is through the testing of our online payday loan platform with consumers in Alberta."
The Board of Directors has determined not to issue a quarterly dividend in respect of the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the period ended June 30, 2013. The Board of Directors reviews the Company's dividend distribution policy on a quarterly basis. This review includes evaluating the financial position, profitability, cash flow and other factors that the Board of Directors considers relevant.

Generally, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "estimates", "plans", "expects", or "does not expect", "is expected", "budget", "scheduled", "forecasts", "intends", "anticipates", or "does not anticipate", or "believes" or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might", or "will be taken", "occur", or "be achieved". In particular, this news release contains forward-looking information with respect to our goals and strategic priorities, introduction of products, share repurchase initiatives, branch openings and competition as well as initiatives to grow revenue or reduce retention payments.

Non GAAP Measures
terms that are not specifically defined under U.S. GAAP are referenced and used. These non-U.S. GAAP measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These non-U.S. GAAP measures are presented because the Company believes that they provide investors with additional insight into the Company's financial results. The non-U.S. GAAP measures mentioned in this MD&A, along with the way in which management calculates them, are defined below.
- Same branch revenue is used to explain changes in total revenue by comparing the average revenue for a particular group of branches in a current period to that same particular group of branches in a prior period, excluding income from centralized collections. Average revenue is defined as revenue for the period divided by the number of branches.
- EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used as a measure of cash income. EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of intangible assets. Based on EBITDA, the effects of other items and/or non-cash expenses are removed to calculate Adjusted EBITDA. Please refer to the section entitled "EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation" for a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income.
- Working capital is calculated as current assets less current liabilities.
