- Profit Decline: Despite revenue growth, net income decreased 19% due to higher operating expenses and a decline in operating income.
- Expense Increases: Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses rose 17.8% due to increased staffing, advertising, and costs associated with opening three new payday loan stores.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Capital Expenditures: Management expects capital expenditures of approximately $125,000 over the next twelve months, funded by working capital and the new credit facility.
- Market Risks: The company is exposed to fluctuations in precious metal prices (gold), which impact jewelry sales, pawn lending, and scrap sales. A downturn in the retail climate is also cited as a risk.
- Regulatory Risk: The company faces regulatory risk related to its payday loan operations.
- Accounting Changes: The company plans to adopt SFAS No. 123R (Share-Based Payment) effective January 1, 2006, which may impact future financial statement presentation regarding stock-based compensation.
- Liquidity Strategy: Management believes it can meet working capital needs through vendor terms, the existing credit facility, or by liquidating marketable securities if necessary.
