NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pioneer Financial Services, Inc. (“PFSI”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”). The Company is headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri and is a wholly owned subsidiary of MidCountry Financial Corp., a Georgia corporation (“MCFC” or "Parent"). The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 26, 2018. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of the Company's management, they include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Effective October 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Because the guidance does not apply to interest revenue recognition for loans, the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

InImpairment ~~addition to the significant accounting policies identified in Note 1~~ of ~~our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have an additional significant accounting policy related to the~~ CBD Purchase Option. The CBD Purchase Option was recorded on our balance sheet as a non-cash capital contribution from MCFC on November 30, 2018 and is reflected in Prepaid and Other Assets on the face of the Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2019. The CBD Purchase Option was initially recorded at its estimated fair value as of the closing date of the MidCountry Bank Sale (as defined below in this Note 1 under "Nature of Operations and Concentration"). The estimated fair value of the CBD Purchase Option is based on a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis of projected results for the consumer banking division of MCB and an evaluation of market multiples for companies engaged in similar businesses to the consumer banking division of MCB. The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of the value assigned to the CBD Purchase Option and to the extent it is determined that the value is not recoverable, an impairment charge is recorded through earnings.

~~Nature~~Following the sale of ~~Operations~~MidCountry Bank ("MCB") to MidCountry Acquisition Corp. (“MAC”), a third-party entity that acquired MidCountry Bank on November 30, 2018 (the "MidCountry Bank Sale"), MCB serviced our finance receivables through its consumer banking division (“CBD”) under the terms of the Non-Recourse Loan Sale and ~~Concentration~~Master Services Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2018 (the “LSMS Agreement”), between the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, MCB, and CIBC Bank USA (“CIBC”). As referenced in the LSMS Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to acquire from MCB all (but not less than all) assets and employees and to assume certain liabilities associated with the CBD for the sum of $1.00 plus the increase in the value of such assets, if any, on the books of MCB (net of assumed liabilities accrued on the books of MCB) from November 30, 2018 through the date immediately preceding the date on which the purchase option is exercised, (the "CBD Purchase Option"). The CBD Purchase Option may be exercised upon the expiration or termination of the LSMS Agreement.

The CBD Purchase Option was recorded, and subsequently reported, at its estimated fair value of $8.2 million. The estimated fair value of the CBD Purchase Option was based on a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis of projected results and

~~Table~~an evaluation of ~~Contents~~market multiples for companies engaged in similar businesses to the CBD, based on estimates available at the time of such analysis.

~~The~~In ~~Company~~connection ~~purchases~~with ~~finance~~the ~~receivables~~Portfolio ~~from~~Sale, ~~and~~the ~~has~~operations ~~finance~~of ~~receivables~~the ~~serviced~~CBD ~~by,~~began ~~MCB~~winding-down in July 2019, awith ~~federally~~full ~~chartered~~termination ~~savings~~of ~~bank.~~operations ~~Prior~~expected to ~~November~~be substantially complete within thirty (30,) ~~2018~~to ninety (90) days following August 9, ~~MCB~~2019. ~~was~~Winding adown ~~wholly-owned~~the ~~subsidiary~~operations of ~~MCFC.~~the OnCBD ~~November~~resulted ~~30,~~in ~~2018,~~an ~~MCFC~~impairment ~~sold~~of ~~its~~the ~~entire~~CBD ~~ownership~~Purchase ~~interest~~Option inrecorded ~~MCB~~on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet since the Company expects the option to ~~MidCountry~~expire ~~Acquisition~~without ~~Corp~~being exercised. Because the CBD Purchase Option is expected to expire without being exercised and the Company does not expect to receive any value upon expiration of the CBD Purchase Option, ~~("MAC")~~the Company recorded an ~~unrelated~~impairment charge for the full balance of the CBD Purchase Option through a non-cash impairment charge of $8.2 million during the third ~~party~~quarter ~~("MidCountry~~of ~~Bank~~fiscal ~~Sale")~~2019.

~~Upon~~Nature completing the MidCountry Bank Sale, the Company entered into the LSMS Agreement governing the origination and servicing relationship between MCB and the Company. The LSMS Agreement superseded and replaced the Fifth Amended and Restated Loan Sale and Master Services Agreement, as amended, that was in effect prior to the consummation of ~~the~~Operations ~~MidCountry Bank Sale ("Old LSMS Agreement"). The LSMS Agreement~~ and ~~the Old LSMS Agreement are further described in Note 3 - Related Party Transactions and Note 7 - Stockholder's Equity.~~Concentration

Historically, the Company purchased finance receivables from, and had finance receivables serviced by, MCB, a federally chartered savings bank. Prior to November 30, 2018, MCB was a wholly-owned subsidiary of MCFC. On November 30, 2018, MCFC sold its entire ownership interest in MCB to MAC, an unrelated third party.

Upon completing the MidCountry Bank Sale, the Company entered into the LSMS Agreement governing the origination and servicing relationship between MCB and the Company. The LSMS Agreement superseded and replaced the Fifth Amended and Restated Loan Sale and Master Services Agreement, as amended, that was in effect prior to the consummation of the MidCountry Bank Sale ("Old LSMS Agreement"). The LSMS Agreement and the Old LSMS Agreement are further described in Note 4: Related Party Transactions and Note 8: Stockholder's Equity.

The Company and MCB are party to the LSMS Agreement under which MCB originates consumer loans via the internet to primarily active-duty U.S. military personnel, career retired U.S. military personnel or veterans with prior loan history with us. We have the exclusive right to purchase those loans that meet our purchasing criteria. Under the LSMS Agreement, MCB also provides us with management and record keeping services.

As described in Note 9: Subsequent Events, in connection with the Portfolio Sale, the Company ceased purchasing finance receivables on July 31, 2019 and sold all finance receivables held by the Company on August 9, 2019.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and in disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We use estimates and employ judgments in determining the amount of our allowance for credit losses, deferred tax assets and liabilities, the CBD Purchase Option and establishing the fair value of our financial instruments.

As a result, the finance receivables portfolio was written down to its estimated fair market value of $192 million through a $2.5 million charge to earnings during the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Fair value as of June 30, 2019 was estimated based on the terms of the Agreement. The allowance for credit losses and all unearned fees and charges were reversed in connection with the classification of our finance receivables portfolio as held for sale.

Our finance receivables are primarily loans to active-duty or career retired U.S. military personnel. During the third quarter of fiscal 2018 we purchased $67.8 million of loans originated by MCB. During the nine months ended June 30, 2018, we purchased $171.5 million of loans originated by MCB. Approximately 43.3% of the amount of loans we purchased during the third quarter of fiscal 2018 were refinancings of outstanding loans. These finance receivables were classified as held for sale and reported at estimated fair market value as of June 30, 2019.

Management has an established methodology to determine the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses that assesses the risks and estimated losses inherent in the finance receivables portfolio. There is uncertainty inherent in these estimates, making it possible that they could change. Prior to the completion of the Portfolio Sale, our portfolio consisted of a large number of relatively small-balance, homogeneous accounts. No account was large enough to warrant individual evaluation for impairment. In connection with the transfer of the finance receivables portfolio to held for sale, the allowance for credit losses was reversed.

~~Interest income is suspended and accrued interest reversed when three consecutive full payments (95% or more of the contracted payment amounts) have not been received.~~ The ~~Company~~following ~~has~~table ~~experience~~presents with borrowers periodically missing payments during times of financial hardship; however, these missed payments do not necessarily render loans uncollectible. Non-accrual status, therefore, does not mean that a loan is uncollectible. Accordingly, payments received from a borrower on a non-accrual loan may be recognized as interest income. Non-performing loans represent those finance receivables ~~where~~held ~~the~~for ~~accrual~~investment ~~of interest income has been suspended and the accrued interest reversed. As of March 31, 2019, we had $14.2 million in non-performing loans, compared to $14.8 million~~ as of ~~September 30,~~the ~~2018.~~date presented:

We consider a loan impaired when a full payment (95% or more of the contracted payment amount) has not been received for the preceding six calendar months and is 30 days contractually past due. Impaired loans are removed from our finance receivables portfolio and charged against the allowance for credit losses. We do not restructure troubled debt as a form of curing delinquencies.

As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of our finance receivables portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators of our customers including trends related to (1) net charge-offs, (2) non-performing loans and (3) payment history.

Interest income is suspended and accrued interest reversed when three consecutive full payments (95% or more of the contracted payment amounts) have not been received. The Company has experience with borrowers periodically missing payments during times of financial hardship; however, these missed payments do not necessarily render loans uncollectible. Non-accrual status, therefore, does not mean that a loan is uncollectible. Accordingly, payments received from a borrower on a non-accrual loan may be recognized as interest income. Non-performing loans represent those finance receivables where the accrual of interest income has been suspended and the accrued interest reversed. As of September 30, 2018, we had $14.8 million in non-performing loans.

A large number of our customers generally present elevated levels of credit risk and are unable to obtain financing from traditional sources due to factors such as employment history, frequent relocations and lack of credit history. These factors may not allow them to build relationships with traditional sources of financing. We manage credit risk by closely monitoring the performance of the portfolio and through our finance receivables purchasing criteria. The following table reflects the credit quality of our finance receivables portfolio:

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we employed purchasing criteria developed from our past customer repayment experience. The purchasing criteria used were periodically evaluated based on current portfolio performance and used to help reduce the risk of purchasing finance receivables where the customer is unwilling or unable to repay. These criteria required the following:


•	At the time of loan origination, customers are primarily active-duty U.S. military personnel, career retired U.S. military personnel or veterans with prior loan history with us;


•	All potential customers must complete standardized online credit applications; and


•	All loans must meet additional purchase criteria developed from our past loan repayment experience, which is periodically revalidated based on current portfolio performance.

~~NOTE~~Senior ~~4: BORROWINGS~~Term Loan

On June 26, 2019 and in connection with entering into the Agreement, the Company executed and delivered a Secured Promissory Note to CF Pioneer Funding LLC (“Noteholder”), an affiliate of the Purchaser (the “Senior Term Loan”). In connection with entering into the Senior Term Loan, the Company, along with MCFC, also entered into a Guaranty and Collateral Agreement with Noteholder to govern the security interests of Noteholder with respect to the Senior Term Loan. Noteholder provided the Senior Term Loan as interim financing for the Company pending the closing of the Portfolio Sale. The Senior Term Loan provided $70.0 million of financing to the Company which was used to partially repay the outstanding balance of its revolving credit line with CIBC Bank USA (“CIBC”) and other lenders under the Company’s Credit Agreement, dated December 23, 2015, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”).

The Senior Term Loan, among other things, provides the following:


•	The principal amount of the term loan must be used by the Company, in conjunction with funds received from MCFC, to repay the Credit Agreement.


•	The Senior Term Loan is subject to a variable interest rate of 1-month LIBOR plus 9.5% (11.90% as of June 30, 2019). Interest is payable monthly to Noteholder in arrears.


•	Noteholder’s security interest is secured by certain assets of the Company and MCFC, including, but not limited to, all assets of the Company, a pledge by MCFC of its equity interest in certain of its subsidiaries, certain account control agreements, and a limited guaranty by MCFC.

The Senior Term Loan includes customary representations, warranties, covenants and termination provisions for the parties. The Company and MCFC, jointly and severally, have generally agreed to indemnify Noteholder for certain losses from liabilities incurred in connection with the Senior Term Loan. As further described in Note 9: Subsequent Events, the Senior Term Loan was repaid on August 12, 2019.

Subordinated Debt

Investment Notes

We have subordinated borrowings through the issuance of investment notes with an outstanding balance, including accrued interest, of $19.56 million at ~~March~~June 3130, 2019, and $19.8 million at September 30, 2018. These investment notes are nonredeemable by the holders before maturity, issued at various interest rates and mature one to ten years from the date of issue. At our option, we may redeem and retire any or all of the investment notes upon 30 days written notice to the note holders. The average investment note payable was $52,897 and $52,718, at June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively, with a weighted average interest rate of 9.35% and 9.33% at June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively.

NOTE 5: INCOME TAXES

On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Act"). The Act amended the Internal Revenue Code to reduce tax rates and modify policies, credits, and deductions for individuals and businesses. The Act reduced the corporate income tax rate from a maximum of 35% to a flat 21% rate effective on January 1, 2018. As a result of the reduction in the corporate income tax rate, in fiscal year 2018 the Company revalued its deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the reduction in the estimated tax effects resulting from the lower corporate income tax rate. The revaluation decreased the Company's net deferred tax asset by $4.6 million, which was recorded as additional deferred income tax expense during the six months ended March 31, 2018.

The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 consisted of the following:

As a result of the execution of the Agreement and the corresponding transfer of the finance receivables portfolio to held for sale, the Company’s deferred tax asset associated with the allowance for credit losses was eliminated and a deferred tax asset was established for finance receivables held for sale as of June 30, 2019. Additionally, a valuation allowance of $2.2 million was established at June 30, 2019 since it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the estimated tax benefits associated with the impairment of the CBD Purchase Option.

NOTE 7: DISCLOSURE ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

U.S. GAAP requires that techniques to estimate fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and establishes a fair value hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:


•	Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at the measurement date.

•

Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).


•	Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. The Company develops these inputs based on the best information available, including the Company’s own data.

For the first ~~six~~nine months of both fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 there were no transfers into or out of Levels 1, 2 or 3.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents — The carrying value approximates fair value due to the short-term, liquid nature of these instruments.

Finance Receivables - Held for Investment — The fair value of finance receivables is estimated using an exit price methodology. An exit price methodology considers expected cash flows that take into account contractual finance receivable terms, as applicable, prepayment expectations, probability of default, loss severity in the event of default, and recovery lag. We calculate the present value of these cash flows using a risk adjusted discount rate, which considers the cost of funding, liquidity, servicing costs and other factors. Because observable quoted prices do not exist for identical or similar assets to our finance receivables, if these assets were measured at fair value in the financial statements, they would be categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Finance Receivables - Held for Sale — The fair value of finance receivables held for sale is estimated based upon the executed sales contract. Due to the fact a contract has been executed for the sale of the Company’s finance receivable portfolio for an amount less than carrying value as of June 30, 2019, these assets are carried at fair market value less costs to sell on the balance sheet and classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Senior Term Loan — The fair value of the senior term loan is estimated to approximate carrying value. Management believes the variable nature of the interest rate under the note approximates market terms. If the senior term loan was measured at fair value in the financial statements, this borrowing would be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Revolving Credit Line - Banks — The fair value of revolving credit line borrowings is estimated to approximate carrying value. Management believes the variable nature of the interest rate under the Credit Agreement approximates market terms. If the Company’s revolving credit line borrowings were measured at fair value in the financial statements, these revolving credit line borrowings would be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Investment Notes and Subordinated Debentures — The fair value of investment notes and subordinated debentures is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar subordinated debt would be offered for the same remaining maturities. If the Company’s investment notes and subordinated debentures were measured at fair value in the financial statements, the financial instruments would be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Subordinated Debt - Parent — The fair value of subordinated debt payable to the Parent is estimated to approximate carrying value. Management believes the variable nature of the interest rate on the borrowing approximates market terms. If the Company’s subordinated debt to the Parent was measured at fair value in the financial statements, this financial instrument would be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 7: STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY

CBD Purchase Option

In connection with the MidCountry Bank Sale, MCB services our finance receivables through its consumer banking division under the terms of the LSMS Agreement. Under the terms of the MidCountry Bank Sale and as referenced in the LSMS Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to acquire from MCB all (but not less than all) assets and employees and to assume certain liabilities associated with MCB’s consumer banking division for the sum of $1.00 plus the increase in the value of such assets, if any, on the books of MCB (net of assumed liabilities accrued on the books of MCB) from November 30, 2018 through the date immediately preceding the date on which the CBD Purchase Option is exercised. The CBD Purchase Option may be exercised upon the expiration or termination of the LSMS Agreement. The LSMS Agreement will expire on November 30, 2020, unless the Company elects to extend it for an additional year.

The CBD Purchase Option was recorded on the Company’s balance sheet as a capital contribution from MCFC on November 30, 2018 and is reflected in Prepaid and Other Assets on the face of the Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2019 at a balance of $8.2 million. The CBD Purchase Option was initially recorded at its estimated fair value as of the date of closing of the MidCountry Bank Sale. The estimated fair value of the CBD Purchase Option was based on a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis of projected results and an evaluation of market multiples for companies engaged in similar businesses to the consumer banking division of MCB.

Pre-Paid Fee

In connection with the MidCountry Bank Sale, MAC retained $3.0 million of the purchase price paid to MCFC for MCB as a Pre-Paid Fee for services to be provided to the Company under the LSMS Agreement. The Pre-Paid Fee is earned ratably by MCB and is partially refundable to the Company under certain conditions outlined in the LSMS Agreement. The Pre-Paid Fee was recorded on the Company’s balance sheet as a capital contribution from MCFC on November 30, 2018 and is reflected in Prepaid and Other Assets on the face of the Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2019 at its net unamortized balance of $2.5 million. The Pre-Paid Fee is being amortized to Management and Record Keeping Services Expense over the initial two- year term of the LSMS Agreement.

On April 4, 2019, we entered into the First Loan Modification Agreement (the “Modification Agreement”) to the Credit Agreement, which, among other things, increased the maximum commitment from $98.0 million to $120.0 million, increased the number of Lenders from five to eight and extended the term through May 29, 2020. The Modification Agreement also modified certain financial covenants required to be maintained by the Company and requires MCFC, as guarantor, to hold at least $20.0 million in cash or cash equivalent investments. Subject to certain exceptions enumerated in the Credit Agreement, we are restricted from making certain payments and distributions for the term of the Modification Agreement, including dividends or payments with respect to our capital.

On the effective date of the Modification Agreement, the Company repaid the entire outstanding principal balance of the subordinated line of credit to MCFC in the amount of $25.0 million, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon.

~~Table~~NOTE of8: STOCKHOLDER'S ~~Contents~~EQUITY

CBD Purchase Option

Prior to the consummation of the Portfolio Sale, MCB services our finance receivables through its CBD under the terms of the LSMS Agreement. As referenced in the LSMS Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to acquire from MCB all (but not less than all) assets and employees and to assume certain liabilities associated with MCB’s consumer banking division for the sum of $1.00 plus the increase in the value of such assets, if any, on the books of MCB (net of assumed liabilities accrued on the books of MCB) from November 30, 2018 through the date immediately preceding the date on which the CBD Purchase Option is exercised. The CBD Purchase Option may be exercised upon the expiration or termination of the LSMS Agreement. The LSMS Agreement has an expiration date of November 30, 2020.

As described further in Note 2: Sale of Finance Receivables Portfolio, on June 26, 2019 the Company entered into the Agreement to sell the Company’s finance receivables portfolio to a third party on a servicing released basis. The Portfolio Sale closed on August 9, 2019. In connection with the Portfolio Sale, the operations of the CBD began winding-down in July 2019, with full termination of operations expected to be substantially complete within thirty (30) to ninety (90) days following the closing date of the Portfolio Sale. Winding down the operations of the CBD resulted in an impairment of the CBD Purchase Option recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet since the Company expects the option to expire without being exercised. Because the CBD Purchase Option is expected to expire without being exercised and the Company does not expect to receive any value upon expiration of the CBD Purchase Option, the Company recorded an impairment charge for the full balance of the CBD Purchase Option through a non-cash impairment charge of $8.2 million during the third fiscal quarter of 2019.

Pre-Paid Fee

In connection with the MidCountry Bank Sale, MAC retained $3.0 million of the purchase price paid to MCFC for MCB as a pre-paid fee for services to be provided to the Company under the LSMS Agreement (the "Pre-Paid Fee"). The Pre-Paid Fee is earned ratably by MCB and is partially refundable to the Company under certain conditions outlined in the LSMS Agreement. The Pre-Paid Fee was recorded on the Company’s balance sheet as a capital contribution from MCFC on November 30, 2018 and is reflected in Prepaid and Other Assets on the face of the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2019 at its net unamortized balance of $2.1 million.

Cash Capital Contribution from Parent

On June 26, 2019 MCFC made a $6.1 million capital contribution of cash to the Company in conjunction with the payoff of the credit facility and termination of the Credit Agreement.

NOTE 9: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company ceased purchasing loans from MCB, and MCB ceased originating such loans, on July 31, 2019 (the “Cut-Off Date”) in contemplation of the Portfolio Sale, which was completed on August 9, 2019 (the “Closing Date”) pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. The Company received net proceeds of $109.6 million representing the purchase price outlined in the Agreement, less funds used to repay the Senior Term Loan, accrued interest expense on the Senior Term Loan, funds collected on the finance receivables from the Cut-Off Date to the Closing Date, the Holdback Amount and certain transaction costs payable to the Purchaser. On August 12, 2019, the Company used $25.3 million of the net proceeds to fully repay the outstanding balance of the subordinated line of credit with MCFC, including accrued interest expense. The Company expects to use a portion of the remaining net proceeds to redeem and retire the outstanding subordinated debentures and investment notes, as well as to reimburse certain costs incurred by MCB to wind-down the operations of the CBD and contract termination expenses.

Overview

PFSI, a corporation formed under the laws of Missouri in 1932, is a wholly owned subsidiary of MidCountry Financial Corp., a Georgia corporation (“MCFC”). Prior to July 31, 2019, PFSI, with its wholly owned subsidiaries, ~~purchases~~purchased finance receivables from MidCountry Bank (“MCB”), a federally chartered savings bank. Prior to November 30, 2018, MCB was a wholly-owned subsidiary of MCFC. On November 30, 2018, MCFC sold its entire ownership interest in MCB to MidCountry Acquisition Corp., an unrelated third party ("MAC"). MCB, through its consumer banking division ("CBD"), provides management and record keeping services for the PFSI finance receivables portfolio as discussed in “Lending and Servicing Operations - Management and Record Keeping Services.”

Prior to July 31, 2019, MCB ~~originates~~originated consumer loans via the internet primarily to active-duty U.S. military personnel, career retired U.S. military personnel or veterans with prior borrowing history with us. Military customers use proceeds for personal financial needs or to purchase consumer goods and services. As noted in “Sale of Finance Receivables Portfolio and Asset Purchase Agreement” below, on July 31, 2019, we entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell our finance receivables. On that date, MCB ceased originating loans, and we ceased purchasing such loans. On August 9, 2019, we sold our finance receivables portfolio pursuant to the asset purchase agreement.

~~Our~~As of June 30, 2019, our finance receivables ~~are~~were unsecured, ~~have~~had fixed interest rates and typically ~~have~~had a maturity of less than 48 months. During the ~~second~~third quarter of fiscal 2019, the average size of a loan when acquired from MCB was $4,~~403~~689 with an average term of 35 months. Many of the loans we ~~purchase~~purchased ~~are~~were made to borrowers who are unable to obtain financing from traditional sources due to factors such as their employment history, frequent relocations and lack of credit history. These factors may not allow them to build relationships with traditional sources of financing.

The level of our profitability iswas dependent upon the quality of finance receivables we ~~are~~were able to acquire from MCB, including repayment performance, and upon the business and economic environments in the markets where we ~~operate~~operated and in the United States as a whole.

We are not associated with, nor are we endorsed by, the U.S. military or U.S. Department of Defense. However, we seek to maintain a positive, supportive relationship with the military community.

Sale of Finance Receivables Portfolio and Asset Purchase Agreement

As more fully discussed in Note 2: Sale of Finance Receivables Portfolio of Notes to Financial Statements in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements, on June 26, 2019, the Company, entered into an Asset Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”), by and among the Company, MCFC and Pioneer Asset Trust, a Delaware statutory trust organized under the laws of the state of Delaware (the “Purchaser”), which is owned by funds and accounts managed by and affiliated with Fortress Investment Group LLC. The Agreement provides for the sale of the Company’s finance receivables portfolio (the “Portfolio”) to the Purchaser on a servicing released basis (the “Portfolio Sale”). The Portfolio Sale closed on August 9, 2019. See Note 9: Subsequent Events of Notes to Financial Statements in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements.

In connection with the Agreement, the Company ceased purchasing loans from MCB, and MCB ceased originating such loans, on July 31, 2019. In addition, on June 26, 2019 MCB began taking action to wind-down the operations of the CBD. Accordingly, the Company plans to terminate agreements with the providers of the Company’s finance receivables origination and servicing systems. If the Company terminates all of these agreements, the Company expects to record and pay contract termination costs of approximately $4.6 million. These payments are expected to be funded from the proceeds of the Portfolio Sale. In addition, the Company expects to record a non-cash charge of $2.7 million to write-off certain computer hardware and implementation costs related to the finance receivable origination and servicing systems following the closing. The Company wrote-off $0.6 million of computer hardware and implementation costs related to the abandonment of efforts to implement a new finance receivable origination system during the third quarter of fiscal 2019.

The amounts reflected above for anticipated contract termination costs and asset write-downs are estimates. The actual amount of these payments or write-downs will be based on actual facts and circumstances existing at the time the expenses are incurred, the provisions of the termination agreements, and the remaining balance of such assets at the time the write downs occur.

Sale of MidCountry Bank

19As previously disclosed, MCFC and MCB entered into an agreement on June 11, 2018 to sell MCB to MAC, a company formed by a third party to purchase MCB (the “MidCountry Bank Sale”). On November 30, 2018, MCFC completed the MidCountry Bank Sale.

Table of Contents

As previously disclosed, MCFC and MCB entered into an agreement on June 11, 2018 to sell MCB to MidCountry Acquisition Corp. ("MAC"), a company formed by a third party to purchase MCB (the “MidCountry Bank Sale”). On November 30, 2018, MCFC completed the MidCountry Bank Sale.

In connection with the MidCountry Bank Sale, also on November 30, 2018, PFSI and certain of its subsidiaries, MCB,

and CIBC Bank USA, as administrative agent for itself and certain other lenders under the Company’s Credit Agreement, dated December 23, 2015, as amended (the "Credit Agreement"), entered into the Non-Recourse Loan Sale and Master Services Agreement (the “LSMS Agreement”) governing the origination and servicing relationship between MCB and the Company. The LSMS Agreement ~~supersedes~~superseded and ~~replaces~~replaced the Fifth Amended and Restated Loan Sale and Master Services Agreement, as amended (the “Old LSMS Agreement”), that was in effect prior to the consummation of the MidCountry Bank Sale. The financial results and disclosures for PFSI included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect the terms of the Old LSMS Agreement through November 30, 2018 and the terms of the LSMS Agreement from December 1, 2018 through ~~March~~June 3130, 2019. On June 27, 2019, CIBC Bank USA assigned its interest in the LSMS Agreement to CF Pioneer Funding LLC.

Repayment and Termination of Credit Agreement

On June 27, 2019, the Company repaid the remaining balance outstanding under the credit facility and terminated the Credit Agreement.

Post-Closing Expectations

As previously disclosed, in connection with the transactions described above, the Company expects the following events to occur.

Repayment of Investment Notes and Other Debt Following the Portfolio Sale

On August 12, 2019, in connection with the Portfolio Sale, the Company used a portion of the net sale proceeds to repay its obligations under the subordinated line of credit with MCFC. The Company expects to use additional proceeds from the Portfolio Sale to fully repay its obligations under the subordinated debentures and investment notes. Any remaining

proceeds after settlement of the Company’s obligations and liabilities, along with existing cash balances, will be distributed to the Company’s sole shareholder, MCFC.

Termination of Future Periodic Reporting Obligations

Following the full repayment of the investment notes, the Company will no longer have any outstanding securities registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and, following any required deregistration procedures, will not be subject to the periodic reporting obligations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Cessation of Purchasing Finance Receivables and Termination of Related Services

In connection with the Portfolio Sale, the Company ceased purchasing finance receivables on July 31, 2019.

After the closing of the Portfolio Sale on August 9, 2019, the CBD no longer provides services to the Company, other than certain record keeping functions and residual services to facilitate the transfer of servicing. Because the services the CBD provided for the Portfolio were the primary activities and revenue stream of the CBD, MidCountry Bank decided, with the consent of the Company, to begin winding down the CBD operations in July 2019, with full termination of operations expected to be substantially complete within thirty (30) to ninety (90) days following the closing. As described herein, the decision to wind down the operations of the CBD resulted in an impairment of the CBD Purchase Option recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

Termination or Amendment of LSMS Agreement and Wind Down of CBD

The Company expects that the LSMS Agreement will be terminated or amended following the successful transfer of servicing for the Portfolio and once the services provided under the LSMS Agreement are no longer required.

Critical Accounting Policies

In our Annual Report on Form 10-K we identified the critical accounting policies which affect our significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our unaudited consolidated financial statements. We have not changed these policies from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In addition to the critical accounting policies identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, during ~~the first quarter of~~ fiscal 2019 we identified antwo additional critical accounting ~~policy~~policies. The first is related to the CBD Purchase Option. In connection with the MidCountry Bank Sale, MCB ~~services~~serviced our finance receivables through its consumer banking division as provided in the LSMS Agreement. Under the terms of the LSMS Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation (the “CBD Purchase Option”), to acquire from MCB all (but not less than all) assets and employees and to assume certain liabilities associated with MCB’s consumer banking division for the sum of $1.00 plus the increase in the value of such assets, if any, on the books of MCB (net of assumed liabilities accrued on the books of MCB) from November 30, 2018 through the date immediately preceding the date on which the CBD Purchase Option is exercised. The CBD Purchase Option may be exercised upon the expiration or termination of the LSMS Agreement.

We consider our accounting policy regarding the CBD Purchase Option to be a critical accounting policy due to the significant degree of management judgment applied in establishing the initial fair value and subsequent carrying value of the asset. The CBD Purchase Option was initially recorded on our balance sheet as a non-cash capital contribution from MCFC on November 30, 2018 and is reflected in Prepaid and Other Assets on the face of the Consolidated Balance Sheet at ~~March~~June 3130, 2019. The CBD Purchase Option was initially recorded at its estimated fair value of $8.2 million as of the closing date of the MidCountry Bank Sale. The estimated fair value of the CBD Purchase Option is based on a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis of projected results for the consumer banking division of MCB and an evaluation of market multiples for companies engaged in similar businesses to the consumer banking division of MCB. The estimated fair value is subject to numerous estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, events, and performance to differ materially from the estimates and assumptions used in establishing the carrying value of the CBD Purchase Option. The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of the value assigned to the CBD Purchase Option and to the extent it is determined that the value is not recoverable, an impairment charge is recorded through earnings.

As more fully described in Note 2: Sale of Finance Receivables Portfolio and Note 8: Stockholder’s Equity in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements, in connection with the wind-down of CBD’s operations, the Company determined that the value of the CBD Purchase Option at June 30, 2019 was impaired and recorded an impairment of CBD Purchase Option expense of $8.2 million during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019.

The second additional critical accounting policy identified is related to Finance Receivables Held for Sale. We consider our accounting policy regarding Finance Receivables Held for Sale to be a critical accounting policy due to the significant degree of management judgment applied in determining management's intent with respect to the holding period of the asset and in estimating the fair value and subsequent carrying value of the asset. Finance receivables are classified as held for sale at the time the decision to sell is made. Finance receivables held for sale are reported at the lower of amortized cost or fair value less cost to sell. If the amortized cost basis exceeds fair value, a valuation allowance is established for the difference. Increases in fair value are recorded as a reduction in the valuation allowance, but not below zero. Changes in the valuation

allowance are recorded in net income as fair market value adjustment on finance receivables held for sale. Due to the fact a contract has been executed for the sale of the COmpany's finance recivable portfolio for an amount less than carrying value as of June 30, 2019, these assets are carried at fair market value less costs to sell on the balance sheet. For additional information on Finance Receivables Held for Sale, see Note 2: Sale of Finance Receivables in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements.

Lending and Servicing Operations

Supplier of Loans

Prior to our decision to cease purchasing loans on July 31, 2019, MCB iswas our sole supplier of loans. During the first ~~six~~nine months of fiscal year 2019, we purchased loans originated by MCB. These loans are serviced by MCB on our behalf under the terms of the Old LSMS Agreement through November 30, 2018 and under the terms of the LSMS Agreement ~~from~~beginning on December 1, 2018 ~~through March 31, 2019~~. ~~As disclosed above, future originations, purchases and servicing will be conducted under the LSMS Agreement.~~

Under the LSMS Agreement, we have the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to purchase loans originated by MCB that meet the following guidelines:


•	At the time of origination, customers are primarily active-duty U.S. military personnel, career retired U.S. military personnel or veterans with prior loan history with us;


•	All potential customers must complete standardized online credit applications; and

Table of Contents


•	All loans must meet additional purchase criteria developed from our past repayment experience, which is revalidated based on current portfolio performance.


•	The purchasing and origination guidelines noted above are the same as those that existed under the Old LSMS Agreement.

As discussed above, in connection with the Portfolio Sale, the Company discontinued purchasing loans from MCB on July 31, 2019. The Portfolio Sale closed on August 9, 2019.

For a description of the risks associated with these loans, see "Risk Factors" set forth in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" included herein.

Loan Purchasing

General. The Company and MCB have more than 30 years of experience in underwriting, originating, monitoring and servicing consumer loans to the military market and have developed a deep understanding of military personnel and the military lifestyle. Through this extensive knowledge of our customer base, we developed a scoring model that focuses on the unique characteristics of the military market, as well as traditional credit scoring variables that are utilized by MCB when originating loans in this market.

WePrior ~~may~~to July 31, 2019, we had the ability to purchase loans from MCB if they meet our purchasing criteria, which were developed with our extensive experience with lending to the military market. Pursuant to the Old LSMS Agreement and the LSMS Agreement, we granted MCB rights to use our lending system; however, we retained ownership of the lending system. Using our lending criteria, scoring model and system, MCB originates loans directly over the Internet. Loans typically have maximum terms of 48 months and had an average origination amount of $4,~~403~~741 in the ~~second~~third quarter of fiscal 2019. Under the Old LSMS Agreement, from April 1, 2017 through November 30, 2018, we paid a $27.00 fee for each loan purchased from MCB to reimburse MCB for loan origination costs. In ~~the second quarter of~~ fiscal ~~2018,~~2019 we paid MCB $0.2 million in loan origination fees compared to $1.0 million in fiscal 2018. See further discussion in "Loan Acquisition." Effective November 30, 2018, we no longer pay a specific fee for each loan purchased from MCB (see “Lending and Services Operations - Management and Record Keeping Services” for additional information regarding the LSMS Agreement).

MCB uses our lending criteria and scoring model to originate loans that we subsequently ~~purchase~~purchased prior to July 31, 2019. Under this criteria and scoring model, in evaluating the creditworthiness of applicants, MCB primarily examines the individual’s debt-to-income ratio, prior payment experience with us (if applicable), credit bureau attributes and employment stability. MCB uses credit score information provided by the FICO Score 8 model, in combination with certain credit overlays. Our purchasing guidelines provide that we may purchase loans originated by MCB with the FICO Score 8 model and certain credit overlays. Loans are limited to amounts that the customer could reasonably be expected to repay from discretionary income. However, when we purchase loans from MCB, we cannot predict when or whether a customer may unexpectedly leave the military or other events may occur that could result in a loan not being repaid. The average customer loan balance was $3,~~813~~264 at ~~March~~June 3130, 2019, repayable in equal monthly installments and with an average remaining term of 20 months.

A risk in all consumer lending is the customer’s unwillingness or inability to repay obligations. Unwillingness to repay is usually evidenced by a consumer’s historical credit repayment record. An inability to repay occurs after initial credit evaluation and funding and usually results from lower income due to early separation from the military, reduction in rank, major medical expenses, or divorce. Occasionally, these types of events are so economically severe that the customer files for protection under the bankruptcy laws. Underwriting guidelines are used at the time the customer applies for a loan to reduce the risk of originating loans where the customer is unwilling or unable to repay. These guidelines are developed from past customer credit repayment experience and are periodically revalidated based on current portfolio performance. We purchase loans made by MCB to consumers that meet our purchase criteria. The amount and interest rate of the loans purchased are set by MCB based upon these underwriting guidelines considering the estimated credit risk assumed.

As a customer service, we will purchase a new loan from MCB for an existing borrower who has demonstrated a positive payment history with us and where the transaction creates an economic benefit to the customer after fully underwriting the new loan request to ensure proper debt-to-income ratio, credit history and payment performance. We will not purchase refinanced loans made to cure delinquency or for the sole purpose of creating fee income. Our purchasing guidelines require25

We will not purchase refinanced loans made to cure delinquency or for the sole purpose of creating fee income. Our purchasing guidelines required

certain criteria be met upon extension of new credit to prevent curing delinquencies through refinancing or extension of new

funds to customers. Generally, we ~~purchase~~purchased refinanced loans when a portion of the new proceeds iswas used to repay the balance of the existing loan and the remaining portion iswas advanced to the customer. Approximately 4342.79% of the amount of loans we purchased in the ~~second~~third quarter of fiscal 2019 were refinancings of outstanding loans compared to 4543.03% during the ~~second~~third quarter of fiscal 2018.

We discontinued purchasing loans on July 31, 2019 and sold our Portfolio on August 9, 2019.

Management and Record Keeping Services

Table of Contents

MCB provides management and record keeping services for us in exchange for fees payable by us in accordance with

the LSMS Agreement. Prior to November 30, 2018, the management and record keeping services provided, and related fees payable by us, were governed by the Old LSMS Agreement. Under the Old LSMS Agreement, as part of its compensation for performing these management and record keeping services, MCB retained a portion of ancillary revenue, including late charges and insufficient funds fees, associated with our finance receivables. Under the LSMS Agreement, this ancillary revenue is retained by the Company.

Old LSMS Agreement

The following discussion describes the fees paid by the Company and received by MCB under the terms of the Old LSMS Agreement, which was in effect for the periods presented through November 30, 2018.

For the ~~three~~two months ended ~~December~~November 3130, 2018, and for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2018, the Company paid fees for services under the LSMS Agreement that include: (1) a loan origination fee of $27.00 for each loan originated by MCB and sold to the Company; (2) an annual base fee of $500,000 paid in equal monthly installments; (3) a monthly servicing fee of 0.604% (7.25% annually) of the outstanding principal balance of finance receivables serviced as of the last day of the month; (4) a monthly collections fee equal to 46% of amounts collected on charged-off accounts; and (5) a monthly fee equal to 125% of the actual cost for marketing and business development services. The Old LSMS Agreement was superseded and replaced by the LSMS Agreement upon consummation of the MidCountry Bank Sale on November 30, 2018. After November 30, 2018, loan origination and servicing fees paid by the Company are governed by the LSMS Agreement as described below.

LSMS Agreement

Under the LSMS Agreement, MCB continues to provide the Company with various services, such as those related to originating, servicing and management of accounts, marketing, recovery of charged-off accounts and business development. On a monthly basis, the Company pays MCB a fee equal to 100% of MCB’s actual costs to provide such services for the Company’s purchased loans. In addition to the monthly expense reimbursements, upon consummation of the MidCountry Bank Sale, MCB received a $3.0 million pre-paid fee (the “Pre-Paid Fee”) that was deducted from the purchase price payable to MCFC by MAC in connection with the MidCountry Bank Sale. The Pre-Paid Fee covers services to be provided during the initial two-year term of the LSMS Agreement (in addition to the monthly expense reimbursements) and is partially refundable to the Company on a pro-rata basis over the term of the LSMS Agreement in certain limited circumstances. The Pre-Paid Fee was initially recorded as a capital contribution from MCFC and is being amortized as a component of Management and Record Keeping Services Expense over the initial two-year term of the LSMS Agreement.

To facilitate MCB’s servicing of the finance receivables, we have granted MCB: (1) the non-exclusive rights to use certain intellectual property, including our trade names and service marks; and (2) the right to use our loan servicing system and related hardware and software. We have also granted MCB non-exclusive rights to market additional products and services to our customers. We retain all other borrower relationships.

The LSMS Agreement has a termination date of November 30, 2020.

Expense Sharing Agreement

A formal agreement (the “Expense Sharing Agreement”) between MCFC and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Company, is in place to govern the expenses to be shared among the parties, reimbursements to be paid by the parties to MCFC for services provided, as well as the services to be provided by the parties to MCFC and other parties. Under the Expense Sharing Agreement, there are three types of expenses: (1) direct expenses (those that can be specifically identified to a party, yet are paid centrally, usually by MCFC and subsequently reimbursed by the party to which the direct expense applies); (2) direct cost allocations (costs incurred for the benefit of MCFC and/or its subsidiaries that are not direct expenses); and (3) indirect cost allocations (those expenses incurred for the benefit of all parties and not specifically identifiable with an allocation methodology). The direct cost allocations are allocated based upon estimated usage of services using reliable cost indicators. The costs for MCFC services are periodically evaluated to ensure the costs are at a reasonable market rate and consistent with what an external third party may charge. Under the Expense Sharing Agreement, MCFC may provide services such as, but not limited to, payroll and employee benefits, strategic planning, loan review, risk management, regulatory compliance support,

tax, legal and information technology services. The other parties to the Expense Sharing Agreement may provide office space and servicing of finance receivables.

As a result of the MidCountry Bank Sale, a greater proportion of MCFC’s expenses ~~will~~are be allocated to the Company in accordance with the Expense Sharing Agreement. However, following the MidCountry Bank Sale, MCFC reduced the number of employees supporting, and the amount of services provided for its remaining subsidiaries due to the smaller size of the resulting organization. Therefore, while the proportion of MCFC expenses allocated to the Company has increased, the total amount of MCFC expenses allocated to each of its remaining subsidiaries has declined.

22For additional information about the Old LSMS Agreement and the Expense Sharing Agreement see Note 4: Related Party Transactions in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements.

the resulting organization. Therefore, while the proportion of MCFC expenses allocated to the Company is expected to increase, the total amount of MCFC expenses to be allocated to each of its remaining subsidiaries is expected to decline. After giving effect to the increased proportion of expense allocations to the Company, and the reduced level of MCFC expenses to be allocated, the amount of direct and indirect expenses allocated to the Company by MCFC is expected to increase approximately $300,000, on an annualized basis following the MidCountry Bank Sale.

For additional information about the Old LSMS Agreement and the Expense Sharing Agreement see Note 3: Related Party Transactions in Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements.

Sources of Income

WePrior ~~generate~~to the closing of the Portfolio Sale on August 9, 2019, we generated revenues primarily from interest income and fees earned on the finance receivables purchased from MCB, which include refinanced finance receivables. We do not expect to generate future revenue.

Net Interest Margin

The principal component of our profitability iswas net interest margin, which is a function of the interest and fees earned on our finance receivables and the interest paid on borrowed funds. Competitive market conditions and various government regulations impact the level of interest rates we ~~are~~were able to charge. Following the consummation of the Portfolio Sale, we do not expect to earn interest or fees.

Our interest expense iswas sensitive to changes in general market interest rates, which directly ~~impacts~~impacted our cost of funds. Due to certain state and federal regulations, we ~~are~~were unable to significantly increase the annual percentage rate earned on new and existing finance receivables, which ~~restricts~~restricted our ability to react to increases in our cost of funds. Accordingly, increases in market interest rates generally ~~will~~ narrow interest rate spreads and lower profitability, while decreases in market interest rates generally ~~will~~ widen interest rate spreads and increase profitability.

The following table presents data relating to our net interest margin as of and for the periods presented:. All finance receivables were classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2019.

The reduction in gross charge-offs reflects the timing of early allotment payments while the increase in recoveries is due to ~~improvements in collection efforts.

25Provision for Income Taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate was 4.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to 23.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. The 4.9% includes a $2.2 million valuation adjustment that was put in place for the CBD Purchase Option. Excluding this adjustment, the effective tax rate would have been approximately 27% for the third quarter of fiscal 2019. The decline in the effective tax rate from the third quarter of fiscal 2018, excluding the $0.9 million deferred tax adjustment, reflects a decline in the Company's statutory federal tax rate from 24.5% in fiscal 2018 to 21.0% in fiscal 2019. The tax provision in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 includes a $0.9 million charge to reflect a revaluation of the

The~~ increase in finance receivables was due to a lower level of paydowns on finance receivables as well as a reduction in net charge-offs compared with a year ago. The reduction in paydowns is attributed to delays and/or reductions in income tax refunds for our customers. These income tax refunds often serve as a source of funds for repayment of finance receivables by our customers. Finance receivable purchases declined $0.2 million from last year and were $103.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2019.

26Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 was $36.1 million compared to $23.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2018, an increase of $13.0 million, or 56.3%. The increase was primarily due to the $8.2 million impairment charge for the CBD Purchase Option, a $2.5 million fair market adjustment on loans held for sale and a $0.6 million write down off of fixed assets associated with the abandonment of a loan origination system. The Portfolio Sale and impact to non-interest expense is discussed in more detail in Note 2: Sale of Finance Receivables Portfolio in "Overview" above. Additionally, management and record keeping services increased $1.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2018 primarily due to changes in the LSMS Agreement following the MidCountry Bank Sale on November 30, 2018.

Provision for Income Taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate was 3.9% for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 compared to 84.8% for the first nine months of fiscal 2018. The 3.9% includes a $2.2 million valuation adjustment that was put in place for the CBD Purchase Option. Excluding this adjustment, the effective tax rate would have been approximately 31% for the first nine months of fiscal 2019. The elevated effective rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 is due to a charge of $4.6 million related to the revaluation of our deferred tax asset as result of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act signed into law on December 22, 2017. Excluding the $4.6 million deferred tax asset adjustment, the effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2018 was 25.7%. The decline in the effective tax rate from fiscal 2018, excluding the $4.6 million deferred tax adjustment, reflects a decline in the Company's statutory federal tax rate from 24.5% in fiscal 2018 to 21.0% in fiscal 2019.

Delinquency Experience

Our customers are required to make monthly principal and interest payments. Our servicer, MCB, under our supervision, ~~analyzes~~analyzed customer delinquencies on a recency delinquency basis utilizing our guidelines. A loan is delinquent under the recency method when a full payment (95% or more of the contracted payment amount) has not been received for 30 days. Recency delinquent finance receivables 60 days or more past due decreased to 45.90% at ~~March~~June 3130, 2019 from 5.4% at September 30, 2018, but increased from 4.5% at ~~March~~June 3130, 2018. The level of recency delinquent finance receivables 60 days or more past due reflects expanded collection efforts by MCB over the last two years relative to higher levels of delinquency experienced before these expanded collection efforts were put in place. Changes in recency delinquency balances are generally a leading indicator of the level and direction of future charge-offs. Finance receivables charged-off were $1522.12 million for the first ~~six~~nine months of fiscal 2019 compared to $1523.70 million for the first ~~six~~nine months of fiscal 2018. Recency delinquent balances, 60 days or more past due, from customers who advised MCB of their separation from the military, were $21.75 million at ~~March~~June 3130, 2019 compared to $32.07 million at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2018~~2019 and $31.08 million at ~~March~~June 3130, 2018. Higher recency delinquency balances may lead to an increase in future charge-offs to the extent such customers do not continue to make finance receivable payments.

The following table sets forth our delinquency experience as of the end of the dates presented for loans for which payments are 60 days or more past due, on a recency basis.

Credit Loss Experience and Provision for Credit Losses

General. The allowance for credit losses is maintained at an amount that management considers sufficient to cover losses inherent in the outstanding finance receivables portfolio. To estimate the allowance for credit losses, we utilize a statistical model based on potential credit risk trends incorporating historical factors. The model results and management’s judgment are used to estimate inherent losses in the finance receivables portfolio and in establishing the current provision and allowance for credit losses. These estimates are influenced by factors outside our control, such as economic conditions, customers’ loan repayment behavior, current or future military deployments and completion of military service prior to repayment of a loan. There is uncertainty inherent in these estimates, making it reasonably possible that they could change in the near term and that actual credit losses could be materially different from our estimates. For a description of the risks associated with these finance receivables, see Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” included herein for additional discussion of risks associated with our finance receivables and business.

When purchasing loans we cannot predict when or if a customer may depart from the military early. Accordingly, we cannot implement policies or procedures for ~~MCB~~loan tolosses ~~follow~~was to ensure that we will be repaid in full prior to a customer leaving the military, nor can we predict if a customer will be subject to deployment at a duration or frequency that leads to a default on his or her loanreversed.

~~Table~~Former Military. As of ~~Contents~~June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, we had approximately $18.4 million, or 8.0%, of our total portfolio, and $17.7 million, or 7.8%, of our total portfolio, respectively, from customers who separated from the military prior to repaying their loan. Finance receivable net charge-offs from customers who separated from the military, were $1.5 million and represented 26.3% of net charge-offs in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to $1.8 million and 30.5% of net charge-offs in the third quarter of fiscal 2018.

Loan Acquisition

Finance receivables growth iswas an important factor in determining our future revenues. WeHowever, ~~are~~as discussed herein, we sold our finance receivables on August 9, 2019, ceased purchasing loans on July 31, 2019, and do not expect to purchase loans in the future. Historically, we were dependent upon MCB to increase its originations and on having sufficient funding for our ~~future~~ growth. Finance receivables purchased held for investment (including refinancings) during the first ~~six~~nine months of fiscal 2019 were $~~103~~166.62 million compared to $~~103~~171.86 million during the first ~~six~~nine months of fiscal 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

A relatively high ratio of borrowings to invested capital is customary in the consumer finance industry. ~~Our~~Prior to the closing of the Portfolio Sale, our principal use of cash iswas to purchase consumer finance receivables from MCB and pay MCB for services performed under the LSMS Agreement. We ~~use~~used borrowings to fund the difference, if any, between the cash used to purchase finance receivables and pay operating expenses and the cash generated from loan repayments, interest income and fees. Cash used in investing activities in the first ~~six~~nine months of fiscal 2019 was $07.6 million and cash used in financing activities was $13.96 million, which was funded by operating activities of $1421.12 million. In the first ~~six~~nine months of fiscal 2018, cash used in financing activities was $1718.92 million, which was funded by operating activities of $1524.18 million and used in investing activities of $35.92 million. Financing activities primarily consist of borrowing and repayments of debt incurred under our senior revolving credit facility. During the first ~~quarter~~nine months of fiscal 2019 the Company also borrowed $25.0 million under the subordinated line of credit with MCFC~~, which was subsequently repaid in April 2019~~.

~~The~~Until June 27, 2019, the majority of our liquidity requirements ~~are~~were obtained through our senior revolving credit facility under the Company’s Credit Agreement with various financial institutions, dated December 23, 2015, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”). Additional sources of funds may be generated through repayments of finance receivables, sales of subordinated debt and borrowings from MCFC. For additional information related to our borrowings and capital resources, see Note 45: Borrowings in Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

WeOn ~~entered~~June ~~into~~27, ~~Amendment~~2019, Nothe senior revolving credit facility was paid off and the Credit Agreement was terminated. 4Immediately prior to such termination, the Credit Agreement (provided for a maximum commitment of $120.0 million. The Company used the ~~"Amendment"~~proceeds from the Senior Term Loan and an additional $31.1 million of funds provided by MCFC to repay the outstanding balance on the credit facility. MCFC provided the funds to the Company through an advance on its $25.0 million subordinated line of credit to the Company and through a $6.1 million capital contribution.

We were in compliance with the covenants under the Credit agreement as of ~~March~~September 3130, 2019.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Information about market risks for the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2019 does not differ materially from that discussed under Item 7A of the Annual Report on Form 10-K. As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2019, we have no material market risk sensitive instruments entered into for trading or other purposes, as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Our finance income is generally not sensitive to fluctuations in market interest rates. ~~Our~~Prior to termination on June 27, 2019, our revolving credit line borrowings under our Credit Agreement ~~are~~were divided into tranches, including (1) a borrowing that bears interest at prime plus 3.25% ("Base Rate") or (2) a borrowing that bears an interest rate offered in the London Interbank Eurodollar market for the relevant interest period ("LIBOR") plus 4.25% ~~("LIBOR")~~. We ~~are~~were subject to interest rate sensitivity on our LIBOR and Base Rate borrowings. At March 31, 2019, outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement were $75.0 million bearing a weighted average interest rate of 7.04%. Outstanding LIBOR borrowings under the Credit Agreement at March 31, 2019 were $64.0 million bearing an interest rate of 6.74% while the remaining $11.0 million were Base Rate borrowings bearing an interest rate of 8.75%.

We are also subject to interest rate sensitivity on ~~our~~the ~~subordinated~~Senior ~~borrowing~~Term ~~from MCFC~~Loan. This borrowing bears a variable interest rate equal to ~~prime~~1-month LIBOR plus 39.255%. As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2019, $2570.0 million of ~~borrowings~~Senior ~~from~~Term ~~MCFC~~Loan borrowings were outstanding with an interest rate of 811.7590%. ~~This borrowing was fully paid-off in April 2019.~~

We are also subject to interest rate sensitivity on our subordinated borrowing from MCFC. This borrowing bears a variable interest rate equal to prime plus 3.25%. As of June 30, 2019, $25.0 million of borrowings from MCFC were

outstanding with an interest rate of 8.75%.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2019. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with management's evaluation that occurred during the quarter ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

On August 9, 2019, the Company completed the sale of its portfolio of consumer finance receivables to Pioneer Asset Trust, a Delaware statutory trust organized under the laws of the state of Delaware, which is owned by funds and accounts managed by and affiliated with Fortress Investment Group LLC (the “Portfolio Sale”). In addition, on August 12, 2019, the Company repaid the outstanding balance on its Senior Term Loan. The agreement to sell the portfolio of consumer finance receivables (the “Agreement”) and the terms of the Senior Term Loan were previously disclosed by the Company on Form 8-K as filed with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 2, 2019.

Upon closing the Portfolio Sale, the Company received net proceeds of $109.6 million representing the purchase price outlined in the Agreement, less funds used to repay the Senior Term Loan, accrued interest expense on the Senior Term Loan, funds collected on the finance receivables from the Cut-Off Date to the Closing Date, the Holdback Amount and certain transaction costs payable to the Purchaser. On August 12, 2019, the Company used $25.3 million of the net proceeds to fully repay the outstanding balance of the subordinated line of credit with MCFC, including accrued interest expense. The Company expects to use a portion of the remaining net proceeds to redeem and retire the outstanding subordinated debentures and investment notes having an outstanding balance of $24.5 million as of June 30, 2019, as well as to reimburse certain costs incurred by MCB to wind-down the operations of the CBD and contract termination expenses.

In connection with the repayment of the Senior Term Loan on August 9, 2019 all agreements, obligations and security arrangements associated with the Senior Term Loan were terminated, satisfied and released, respectively.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. During the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there were no legal proceedings brought against the Company nor were there material changes in current legal proceedings that management believes would have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

In our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, we identified important risks and uncertainties that could affect our results of operations, financial position, cash flow or business. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019.

32Our ability to implement our plan to wind down operations depends to a significant degree upon the contributions of our executive officers and other key personnel of MCFC. We cannot guarantee that all, or any particular one, will continue to be available to provide services to us. We cannot guarantee that all, or any, of these key personnel will continue to provide services to us or our Parent, particularly in light of the winding down of our business. The loss of any of these key personnel could cause our ability to successfully implement our plan to wind down operations to suffer.

~~The~~We ~~CBD~~do ~~Purchase~~not ~~Option~~expect was initially recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at its estimated fair value of $8.2 million as of the closing date of the MidCountry Bank Sale. The estimated fair value of the CBD Purchase Option is based on a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis of projected results for the consumer banking division of MCB and an evaluation of market multiples for companies engaged in similar businesses to ~~the~~realize ~~consumer~~any ~~banking division~~ of MCB. The estimated fair value is subject to numerous estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, events, and performance to differ materially from the ~~estimates and assumptions used in establishing the carrying~~ value ~~of the CBD Purchase Option. In addition, because we are the primary customer for the consumer banking division of MCB, adverse changes or trends in our business could adversely affect the value~~ assigned to the CBD Purchase Option.
