EXPLANATORY NOTE
Delayed Filing
We delayed the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 (ended June 30, 2015) pending the completion of a review and analysis of certain accounting issues relating to our Grupo Finmart loan portfolio. As a result of that review, we have restated our financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012 (including the quarterly periods within those years, other than the first quarter of fiscal 2012) and for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 in order to correct certain accounting errors related to our Grupo Finmart loan portfolio.
For discussion of the Grupo Finmart portfolio review, the accounting errors identified and the restatement adjustments applicable to fiscal 2014 and periods prior to September 30, 2014, see “Part II, Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Grupo Finmart Portfolio Review and Restatement” and Notes 2 and 19 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in "Part II, Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in our Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 (the "Amended FY14 Annual Report").
For a description of the restatement adjustments applicable to the first quarter of fiscal 2015, see "Part I, Item 2 — Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Grupo Finmart Portfolio Review and Restatement" and Note 2 of Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in "Part I, Item 1 — Financial Statements" in our Amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 (the "Amended Q115 Quarterly Report").
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management reassessed its evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2014, and concluded that a number of deficiencies in the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls, collectively, represent material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and, therefore, that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2014, September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012. For a description of the material weaknesses identified by management and management’s plan to remediate those material weaknesses, see “Part II, Item 9A — Controls and Procedures” in the Amended FY14 Annual Report.
The information in this Report pertaining to the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2014 (ended June 30, 2014) and as of September 30, 2014 reflects the restated financial statements for such periods, as set forth in the Amended FY14 Annual Report. The information in this Report pertaining to the first nine months of fiscal 2015 reflects the restated financial statements for the first quarter of fiscal 2015, as set forth in the Amended Q115 Quarterly Report.

EZCORP, Inc.
Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
June 30, 2015
NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
We are a leading provider of specialty consumer financial services. With approximately 7,100 teammates and 1,350 locations and branches, we provide collateralized, non-recourse loans, commonly known as pawn loans, and a variety of short-term and long-term consumer loans including single-payment and multiple-payment unsecured loans and single-payment and multiple-payment auto title loans, or fee-based credit services to customers seeking loans in the United States, Mexico and Canada. Subsequent to June 30, 2015, we discontinued our consumer loan operations in the United States.
We also own approximately 32% of Cash Converters International Limited ("Cash Converters International"), which is based in Australia and franchises and operates a worldwide network of over 750 locations that provide financial services and buy and sell second-hand goods.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Our management has included all adjustments it considers necessary for a fair presentation. These adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature except for those related to discontinued operations (described in Note 2). Furthermore, certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform to the current period presentation. We have reclassified unamortized debt issuance costs of $16.0 million as of June 30, 2014 from "Other assets, net" to "Intangible assets, net" to conform to current period presentation.
The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended September 30, 2014 the "Amended FY14 Annual Report"). The balance sheet as of September 30, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Our business is subject to seasonal variations, and operating results for the three and nine-months ended June 30, 2015 (the "current quarter" and "current nine-month period") are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full fiscal year.
These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EZCORP, Inc. ("EZCORP") and its consolidated subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As of June 30, 2015, we owned 76% of the outstanding equity interests in Prestaciones Finmart, S.A.P.I. de C.V., SOFOM, E.N.R. ("Grupo Finmart"), doing business under the brands "Crediamigo" and "Adex," and therefore, include its results in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
To determine if we hold a controlling financial interest in an entity, we first evaluate if we are required to apply the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model to the entity; otherwise, the entity is evaluated under the voting interest model. Where we hold current or potential rights that give us the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance combined with a variable interest that gives us the right to receive potentially significant benefits or the obligation to absorb potentially significant losses, we have a controlling financial interest in that VIE. Rights held by others to remove the party with power over the VIE are not considered unless one party can exercise those rights unilaterally. Grupo Finmart has completed several transfers of consumer loans to various securitization trusts. We consolidate those securitization entities under the VIE model. See Note 17.
We account for our investment in Cash Converters International using the equity method.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, inventory, loan loss allowances, long-lived and intangible assets, income taxes, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience, observable trends and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. We use this
8
information to make judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from the estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
There have been no changes in significant accounting policies as described in our Amended FY14 Annual Report, other than those described below.
Recently Adopted Accounting Policies
Common Stock, Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. Under this standard, shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value and conditionally redeemable common shares (including shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares are classified as stockholders’ equity. The EZCORP common stock subject to possible redemption features certain redemption rights that are considered by the Company to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly as of March 31, 2015, the shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. This ASU requires reporting entities to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. Measurement period adjustments were previously required to be retrospectively adjusted as of the acquisition date. The provisions of this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. A reporting entity should apply the amendment prospectively. We do not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2015-16 will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. This ASU requires reporting entities measuring inventories under the first-in, first-out or average cost methods to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, where net realizable value is "estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation." Inventory was previously required to be measured at the lower of cost or market value, where the measurement of market value had several potential outcomes. The provisions of this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted provided that presentation is applied to the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. A reporting entity may apply the amendment prospectively. We have not completed the process of evaluating the impact that will result from adopting ASU 2015-11. Therefore we are unable to disclose the impact that adopting ASU 2015-11 will have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows when such statement is adopted.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest — Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This ASU requires reporting entities to record costs paid to third parties that are directly related to issuing debt, and that otherwise would not be incurred, as a deduction to the corresponding debt for presentation purposes. In addition, in August 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Interest — Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements-Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting. Given the absence of authoritative guidance within ASU 2015-03 for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, ASU 2015-15 states the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The provisions of each ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted for each. A reporting entity may apply each amendment retrospectively and the adoption represents a change in accounting principle. The impact of adopting ASU 2015-15 would result in the election to continue to present debt issuance costs related to our revolving credit facilities as an asset. The impact of ASU 2015-03 on our consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2015, June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014 would include an estimated reclassification of unamortized debt issuance costs of $7.1 million, $11.0 million and $10.3 million, respectively, from "Intangible assets, net" to "Long-term debt, less current maturities" and $3.0 million, $4.0 million and $4.0 million, respectively, from "Intangible assets, net" to "Current maturities of long-term debt" within the
9
condensed consolidated balance sheets. Other than these reclassification, the adoption of ASU 2015-03 is not expected to have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. This ASU provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The provisions of this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. A reporting entity may apply the amendment prospectively or retrospectively. We do not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2015-05 will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. This ASU provides guidance for reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. The provisions of this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, provided that presentation is applied to the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. A reporting entity may apply the amendment retrospectively or using a modified retrospective approach. We do not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2015-02 will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Determining Whether a Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share is More Akin to Debt or to Equity. This ASU requires reporting entities to determine the nature of a hybrid financial instrument host contract by considering all stated and implied substantive terms and features of the hybrid financial instrument, weighing each term and feature on the basis of relevant facts and circumstances. The provisions of this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, provided that presentation is applied to the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. We do not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2014-16 will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). On August 12, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) to defer the effective date to December 15, 2017 for annual reporting periods beginning after that date. The FASB also permitted early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. We have not completed the process of evaluating the impact that will result from adopting ASU 2014-09. Therefore we are unable to disclose the impact that adopting ASU 2014-09 will have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows when such statement is adopted.
NOTE 2: DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND RESTRUCTURING
Discontinued Operations
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, we implemented a plan to exit our online lending businesses in the United States and the United Kingdom. As a result of this plan, our online lending operations in the United States (EZOnline) and in the United Kingdom (Cash Genie) have been included as discontinued operations.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, we implemented a plan to close 107 legacy stores (57 in Mexico, 29 in Canada and 21 in the U.S.). These stores were generally older, smaller stores that did not fit our future growth profile.
See Note 18 for discussion of discontinued operations and restructuring actions subsequent to June 30, 2015.
10
Accrued lease termination costs, severance costs and other costs related to discontinued operations are included under "Accounts payable and other accrued expenses" in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in these amounts during the three and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are summarized as follows:
* We recorded additional one-time charges of $3.3 million related to Cash Genie regulatory compliance and $0.7 million related to severance costs during the nine-month period ended June 30, 2015.

** This balance consists of adjustments due to foreign currency effects and other individually immaterial adjustments.
* This balance consists of adjustments due to foreign currency effects and other individually immaterial adjustments related to negotiated lease termination amounts being lower than the initial lease buyout estimates recorded during fiscal 2013.

Discontinued operations for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 include $0.1 million and $0.1 million of total revenues, respectively. Discontinued operations for the nine-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 include $1.7 million and $2.9 million of total revenues, respectively.
All revenue, expense and income reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect reclassification of all discontinued operations.
Restructuring
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, we conducted a company-wide operational review to realign our organization to streamline operations and create synergies and efficiencies. The operational review resulted in the reduction of non-customer-facing overhead. Changes in the balance of restructuring costs during the three and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2015 resulting from this initiative are summarized as follows:
Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 | Nine Months Ended June 30, 2015 | ||||||
(in thousands) | |||||||
Beginning balance | $ | 3,885 | $ | 6,121 | |||

Cash payments | (706 | ) | (3,668 | ) | |||
Balance as of June 30, 2015 | $ | 3,216 | $ | 3,216 | |||
The accrual for restructuring costs as of June 30, 2015 represents the amounts to be paid related to severance for employees that have been terminated or identified for termination as a result of the initiatives described above. We estimate we will make a portion of the remaining payments during fiscal 2015, at which time this initiative will be substantially complete. We continue to review the impact of these actions and will determine if, based on future operating results, additional actions to reduce operating expenses are necessary. The amount of any potential future charges for such actions will depend upon the nature, timing and extent of those actions.

NOTE 3: ACQUISITIONS
On February 19, 2015, we completed the acquisition of 12 pawn stores in Central Texas doing business under the "Cash Pawn" brand. The aggregate purchase price for the acquisition was $16.5 million, comprised of $5.0 million cash and 1,168,456 shares of our Class A Non-voting Common Stock (the "Shares"), valued at $10.01 per share less a $0.2 million Holding Period Adjustment discussed below. The Shares were issued in an unregistered private placement transaction pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 to a small number of related individuals and entities (the "Sellers") who were either "accredited investors" or "sophisticated investors." We have concluded that this acquisition was immaterial to our overall consolidated financial results and, therefore, have omitted the information required by ASC 805-10-50-2(h).
On the first anniversary of the closing date, the Sellers have the right to require us to repurchase the Shares for an aggregate price of $11.8 million (the "Put Option"). The Sellers may terminate the Put Option, in whole or in part, at any time. The Sellers are required to hold the Shares for a period of six months following the termination of the Put Option or such later date when we are in compliance with Rule 144(c) (the "Holding Period"). If the trading price of the Class A Non-voting Common Stock at the end of the Holding Period is less than $10.06 per share (the average closing sales price of the stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market for the five trading days immediately preceding the closing), then we will make an additional cash payment to the Sellers equal to the aggregate deficit, but such payment will not exceed $1.0 million. If the trading price of the Class A Non-voting Common Stock at the end of the Holding Period is more than $10.06 per share, then we will receive from the Sellers (either in cash or by returning a portion of the Shares) an amount equal to 50% of the aggregate excess, but such payment will not exceed $1.0 million (the "Holding Period Adjustment"). As of June 30, 2015, the Sellers had not terminated the Put Option in whole or in part.
The Put Option is not accounted for separately from the Shares and does not require bifurcation. The Shares are accounted for as common stock, subject to possible redemption under FASB ASC 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and are included in temporary equity in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2015. The Holding Period Adjustment is accounted for as a contingent consideration asset under FASB ASC 805 Business Combinations, will be adjusted to fair value in subsequent reporting periods, and is recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at its estimated fair value under "Other assets, net" as of June 30, 2015. See Note 14 for additional information regarding the Holding Period Adjustment.
See Note 18 for discussion of acquisitions subsequent to June 30, 2015.
NOTE 4: EARNINGS PER SHARE
The two-class method is utilized for the computation of earnings per share. The two-class method requires a portion of net income to be allocated to participating securities, which are unvested awards of share-based payments with non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends or dividend equivalents, if declared. Income allocated to these participating securities is excluded from net earnings allocated to common shares. There were no participating securities outstanding during the three and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.
We compute basic earnings per share on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. We compute diluted earnings per share on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include restricted stock awards and warrants.
Potential common shares are required to be excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share if the assumed proceeds upon exercise or vest, as defined by FASB ASC 718-10-25, are greater than the cost to re-acquire the same number of shares at the average market price, and therefore the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Components of basic and diluted earnings per share and excluded anti-dilutive potential common shares are as follows:

Cash Converters International Limited
As of June 30, 2015, we owned 151,948,000 shares, or approximately 32%, of Cash Converters International, a company headquartered in Perth, Australia and publicly traded on the Australian Stock Exchange. Cash Converters International franchises and operates a worldwide network of over 750 specialty financial services and retail stores, with significant store concentrations in Australia and the United Kingdom, that buy and sell second-hand goods and provide pawn loans, short-term unsecured loans and other consumer finance products. Our initial total investment in Cash Converters International was acquired between November 2009 and November 2012 for approximately $68.8 million. An additional 15,100,000 shares were acquired in December 2014 for approximately $12.1 million in connection with a non-underwritten placement of 47,400,000 shares by Cash Converters International.
We account for our investment in Cash Converters International using the equity method. Since Cash Converters International’s fiscal year ends three-months prior to ours, we report the income from this investment on a three-month lag. Cash Converters International files semi-annual financial reports with the Australian Securities & Investments Commission for its fiscal periods ending December 31 and June 30. Due to the three-month lag, income reported for our nine-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 represents our percentage interest in the results of Cash Converters International’s operations from July 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015 and July 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014, respectively.

Additionally, during the three and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2015, we received dividends of $2.4 million and $4.8 million, respectively. During the three and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2014, we received dividends of $2.5 million and $5.1 million, respectively.

Cash Converters International’s total assets increased 2% from December 31, 2013 to December 31, 2014. Cash Converters International's (loss) profit for the period attributable to the owners of the parent decreased from a $9.1 million profit in the six-month period ended December 31, 2013 to a loss of $4.7 million loss in the six-month period ended December 31, 2014. The loss is due to a charge that Cash Converters International incurred in December 2014 in connection with the termination of agency agreements with certain development agents. See Note 18 for further discussion of events impacting Cash Converters International's financial information subsequent to June 30, 2015.
Albemarle & Bond Holdings, PLC
Prior to the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we held an investment in Albemarle & Bond Holdings, PLC ("Albemarle & Bond"). Albemarle & Bond was primarily engaged in pawnbroking, retail jewelry sales, check cashing and lending in the United Kingdom. We accounted for this investment using the equity method.
In March 2014, Albemarle & Bond entered into bankruptcy reorganization in the United Kingdom, and on April 15, 2014 Albemarle & Bond announced that the majority of its business and assets had been sold. As a result, we recognized an other-than-temporary impairment of $7.9 million ($5.4 million, net of taxes) during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, which brought our carrying value of this investment to zero.

Fair Value Measurements
The fair value for Cash Converters International as of June 30, 2015 and 2014 and September 30, 2014 was considered a Level 1 estimate within the fair value hierarchy of FASB ASC 820-10-50, and was calculated as (a) the quoted stock price on the Australian Stock Exchange as of June 30, 2015 and 2014 and September 30, 2014 multiplied by (b) the number of shares we owned as of June 30, 2015 and 2014 and September 30, 2014 multiplied by (c) the applicable foreign currency exchange rate as of June 30, 2015 and 2014 and September 30, 2014. We included no control premium for owning a large percentage of outstanding shares.

The fair value of our investment in Cash Converters International was below the carrying value as of June 30, 2015. Given the decline in fair value began in the third quarter of fiscal 2015, we considered the guidance in ASC 320-10-S99-1 and ASC 323-10-35 and determined that the impairment was temporary as of June 30, 2015. See Note 18 for further discussion of the subsequent fair value of our investment in Cash Converters International.

On February 19, 2015, we completed the acquisition of 12 pawn stores in Central Texas doing business under the "Cash Pawn" brand. We recorded $10.7 million in goodwill pertaining to this acquisition. The acquisition was made as part of our continuing strategy to enhance our earnings over the long-term. The factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill were based on several strategic and synergistic benefits we expect to realize from the acquisitions. These benefits include a greater presence in the Central Texas market, as well as the ability to further leverage our expense structure through increased scale. See Note 3 for additional information regarding the acquisition. See Note 18 for discussion of an additional acquisition completed subsequent to June 30, 2015.

In accordance with ASC 350-20-35, Goodwill — Subsequent Measurement, we test goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life for potential impairment annually, or more frequently when there are events or circumstances that indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. During the nine-month period ended June 30, 2015, we evaluated such events and circumstances and concluded that there were indicators of impairment under ASC 350-20-35-3C. These indicators of impairment primarily include a continued decline in our stock price in addition to Consumer Financial Protection Bureau proposals issued in March 2015, whose impact was subsequently evaluated by management. We performed a quantitative Step 1 analysis under ASC 350-20-35 and determined that the fair value of each of our reporting units exceeded the carrying value, with the exception of our U.S. Financial Services reporting unit. The fair values of each reporting unit were determined based upon a discounted cash flow approach. We further measured the impairment of goodwill associated with the U.S. Financial Services reporting unit under Step 2 and determined that $10.6 million, the entire amount of goodwill associated with the U.S. Financial Services reporting unit, should be written-off during the three-month period ended June 30, 2015. The impairment was recorded under "Impairment of goodwill" on the condensed consolidated statements of operations under the U.S. and Canada segment. No other long-term assets were determined to be impaired as of June 30, 2015. We will further perform our required annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of our fiscal 2015. See Note 18 for discussion of goodwill and other long-term asset impairment that occurred subsequent to June 30, 2015, including impairments associated with our discontinuance of the U.S. Financial Services business announced in July 2015.
The amortization of most definite-lived intangible assets is recorded as amortization expense. The favorable lease asset and other intangibles are amortized to operations expense (rent expense) over the related lease terms. The deferred financing costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the related debt instrument.
The following table presents the amount and classification of amortization recognized as expense in each of the periods presented, without regard for any subsequent impairments of intangible assets:
