Report of the Compensation Committee Overview The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors supervises the Company's executive compensation. The Company seeks to provide executive compensation that will support the achievement of the Company's financial goals while attracting and retaining talented executives and rewarding superior performance. In performing this function, the Compensation Committee reviews executive compensation surveys and other available information and may from time to time consult with independent compensation consultants. The Company seeks to provide an overall level of compensation to the Company's executives that are competitive within the pawnshop industry and other companies of comparable size and complexity. Compensation in any particular case may vary from any industry average on the basis of annual and long-term Company performance as well as individual performance. The Compensation Committee will exercise its discretion to set compensation where in its judgment external, internal or individual circumstances warrant it. In general, the Company compensates its executive officers through a combination of base salary, annual incentive compensation in the form of cash bonuses and long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock options and warrants. Base Salary Base salary levels for the Company's executive officers are set generally to be competitive in relation to the salary levels of executive officers in other companies within the pawn shop industry or other companies of comparable size, taking into consideration the position's complexity, responsibility and need for special expertise. In reviewing salaries in individual cases the Compensation Committee also takes into account individual experience and performance. Annual Incentive Compensation The Compensation Committee has historically structured employment arrangements with incentive compensation. Payment of bonuses has generally depended upon the Company's achievement of pre-tax income targets established at the beginning of each fiscal year or other significant corporate objectives. Individual performance is also considered in determining bonuses. Long-Term Incentive Compensation The Company provides long-term incentive compensation through its stock option plan and the issuance of warrants, which is described elsewhere in this proxy statement. The number of shares covered by any grant is generally determined by the then current stock price, subject in certain circumstances, to vesting requirements. In special cases, however, grants may be made to reflect increased responsibilities or reward extraordinary performance. Chief Executive Officer Compensation Mr. Powell was elected to the position of chief executive officer in May 1992. Mr. Powell's salary was increased from $375,000 to $400,000 on August 20, 2001. Mr. Powell received a bonus in the amount of $300,000 during the year ended December 31, 2001. Mr. Powell received common stock option grants based upon the overall performance of the Company during the year ended December 31, 2001. The overall goal of the Compensation Committee is to insure that compensation policies are established that are consistent with the Company's strategic business objectives and that provide incentives for the attainment of those objectives. This is affected in the context of a compensation program that includes base pay, annual incentive compensation and stock ownership. The Compensation Committee: Richard T. Burke, Joe R.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions. In June 1998, in conjunction with the purchase of 11 check cashing stores, the Company entered into lease agreements relating to one store location and certain office space located in California.

Total lease payments made pursuant to these leases were $130,000 and $239,000 during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, which approximated market rates. In addition, the Company has an outstanding, unsecured note payable due July 5, 2003, bearing interest at 7%, to Mr. Miraglia, which amounted to $800,000 and $1,281,000 as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, including accrued interest. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company had notes receivable outstanding from certain of its officers totaling $5,051,000 and $5,826,000, respectively. These notes are secured by a total of 650,000 shares of common stock of the Company owned by these individuals, term life insurance policies, and bear interest at four percent. These notes are due upon the sale of the underlying shares of common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2001, Mr. Joe R. Love was issued a option to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share expiring in December 2010.
