CURO GROUP HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSNOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NATURE OF OPERATIONSNature of Operations and Basis of PresentationThe terms “CURO" and the “Company” refer to CURO Group Holdings Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as aconsolidated entity, except where otherwise stated.CURO is a growth-oriented, technology-enabled, highly-diversified consumer finance company serving a wide range of nonprime consumers in the U.S., Canada and, through February 25, 2019, the United Kingdom.The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance withU.S. GAAP, and with the accounting policies described in its 2019 Form 10-K. Interim results of operations are not necessarilyindicative of results that might be expected for future interim periods or for the year ending December 31, 2020.Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S.GAAP have been condensed or omitted, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to enable areasonable understanding of the information presented. Additionally, the Company qualifies as an SRC, which allows it toreport information under reduced SEC disclosure requirements. SRC status is determined on an annual basis as of the lastbusiness day of the most recently completed second fiscal quarter. Under these rules, the Company met the definition of anSRC as of June 30, 2020, and it will reevaluate its status as of June 30, 2021.The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes reflect all adjustments (consistingonly of adjustments of a normal and recurring nature) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly theCompany's results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented.COVID-19The COVID-19 pandemic, which surfaced in late 2019 and spread worldwide, including to the U.S. and Canada, continues tocause global uncertainty. Macroeconomic conditions, in general, and the Company's operations have been significantlyaffected by COVID-19 and there continues to be no reliable estimates of how long the pandemic will last or the scope ormagnitude of its near-term or long-term impacts. Resurgences of the pandemic in various states and provinces in which theCompany operates also adds uncertainty as jurisdictions establish or re-institute protocols to lessen the burden of these cases,as described further below. In recent months, efforts to produce a vaccine and more effective treatments for those that havebeen infected by COVID-19 have progressed rapidly. However, it is not possible to predict if a viable vaccine will in fact bedeveloped, the timing of any such vaccine, and the timing and ability to scale such a vaccine for the general population.Federal, state/provincial, and local governments
