President’s Letter

I want to first apoligize for this letter going to be short. I have had a lot going on this past month I am sorry to say that my mother’s condition has worsened and I feel she will not be with us for that much longer. I am trying to spend as much time with her as possible. I want to thank Wayne and Javier and honestly all of you for being there and taking care of the stores.

As you are all very aware our loan balances are growing, which is exactly our goal, however it does put a stress on our capital. I am currently working on securing more funding to support our growth. We did pick up some new inventory from the National Pawn Expo and that should help with some sales. Keep doing an excellent job of communicating clients' needs and wants.

Thank you again and any prayers for my mother are appreciated.

Gratefully,

Stan Lukowicz
