In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First Heritage Credit, LLC, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of First Heritage Credit, LLC, and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about First Heritage Credit, LLC’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued. Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute 1

The Members First Heritage Credit, LLC 2 assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements, including omissions, are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we:  Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.  Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of First Heritage Credit, LLC’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.  Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about First Heritage Credit, LLC’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

FIRST HERITAGE CREDIT, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021 and 2020 7 NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Corporate Structure First Heritage Credit, LLC (“First Heritage” or “the Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, were formed in 2000 to do business in the states of Mississippi, Louisiana, and Tennessee. Subsequently, the Company has expanded into Alabama, South Carolina, and Georgia. First Heritage, a Mississippi limited liability company, is a consumer finance company that provides consumer loans to borrowers, some of whom have impaired credit. First Heritage also serves as an independent sales agent for a wide variety of property and casualty, health and life insurance companies. The business purpose of First Heritage is to engage in personal loans and real estate loans with customers whose loans are secured by personal property and real estate. As of December 31, 2019, First Heritage had a total of 106 consumer finance branch offices in Mississippi (40 branches), Louisiana (23 branches), Tennessee (20 branches), South Carolina (13 branches), and Alabama (10 branches). There is also a sales center and administrative office in Mississippi and one administrative service office in Georgia. (b) Basis of Consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of First Heritage Credit, LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: First Heritage Credit of Alabama, LLC, First Heritage Credit of Louisiana, LLC, First Heritage Credit of Mississippi, LLC, First Heritage Credit of South Carolina, LLC, and First Heritage Credit of Tennessee, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. (c) Income Recognition Interest income from finance receivables is recognized using the interest (actuarial) method. Accrual of interest income on finance receivables is suspended when a loan is contractually delinquent for sixty days or more. The accrual is resumed when the loan becomes contractually current, and past due interest income is recognized at that time. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the yield of the related loan. (d) Credit Losses The provision for credit losses is calculated based on changes in the present value of expected future cash flows from the underlying loans, as discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. A provision for losses is charged to earnings in an amount to maintain sufficient reserves. Setting these reserves requires management to make significant assumptions and estimates about the future development of credit losses. Accordingly, actual results could vary from these estimates and the differences could be material. The First Heritage charge-off policy is based on an account-by-account review of delinquent receivables. Losses on finance receivables secured by automobiles are recognized at the time the collateral is repossessed and sold. Other finance receivables

FIRST HERITAGE CREDIT, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021 and 2020 8 NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (d) Credit Losses (Continued) are charged off when they become contractually past due 181 days and six months of nonpayment, unless extenuating circumstances exist leading management to believe such finance receivables will be collectible. Finance receivables may be charged off prior to the normal charge-off period if management deems them to be uncollectible. (e) Income Taxes First Heritage was formed as a limited liability company and, as such, its earnings and losses and the earnings and losses of its subsidiaries will flow directly to its members for income tax purposes. Thus, First Heritage does not record any current or deferred income taxes. Accounting standards prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. These standards also provide guidance on derecognition of tax benefits, classification on the balance sheet, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure. The Company has evaluated its uncertain tax positions and related income tax contingencies and feels they are not material to the consolidated financial statements. Penalties and interest assessed by income taxing authorities are included in operating expenses, if incurred. Returns are generally subject to examination for three years after they are filed. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s income tax returns for tax years 2020, 2019 and 2018 are subject to examination at the discretion of taxing authorities. (f) Depreciation Depreciation of equipment is provided on the straight-line method using lives of three to seven years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred and renewals and betterments are capitalized. The cost and accumulated depreciation of equipment retired or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and the resulting gains or losses are reflected in earnings. (g) Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statement of cash flows, First Heritage considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. (h) Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

FIRST HERITAGE CREDIT, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2021 and 2020 9 NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (i) Concentrations of Credit Risk First Heritage’s senior revolving debt is held by one lender. The loss of this lender could have a material, adverse effect on First Heritage’s financial position and operations, depending on the availability and terms of replacement credit. (j) Debt Issuance Costs The Company incurred debt issuance costs pursuant to a financing agreement in 2014 and then additional costs pursuant to a financing agreement in 2019. The costs related to the 2014 finance agreement are $4,651,246 and are being amortized based on the effective interest method over the seven- year life of the securities. The costs related to the 2019 finance agreement are $5,620,287 and are being amortized based on the effective interest method over the three–year life of the securities. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $1,882,028 and $2,403,627, respectively. (k) Subsequent Events Management has evaluated subsequent events through April 21, 2022 the date the original consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

ASU 2016-02 increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the statement of financial position and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Under the standard, leased assets will be recorded as a right-of- use assets and liabilities will be recorded for the future lease payments. The Company is required to adopt ASU 2016-02 in 2022 using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance and has not determined the impact this standard may have on their consolidated financial statements nor has the method of adoption been determined by management of the Company. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)”. ASU 2016-13 increases transparency and comparability among organizations by replacing the incurred loss impairment methodology with estimates of expected credit losses based on a broad range of reasonable and supportable information. The Company is required to adopt ASU 2016-13 for the year ended December 31, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance and has not determined the impact this standard may have on their consolidated financial statements nor has the method of adoption been determined by management of the Company.

Exhibit 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The unaudited pro forma financial information is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations of the Company would have been had the Merger, Heights Acquisition and the Divestiture occurred on the dates assumed, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated results of operations.

The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations does not reflect the costs of any integration activities or benefits that may result from realization of future cost savings from operating efficiencies or revenue synergies expected to result from the Merger or Heights Acquisition. The pro forma adjustments may differ materially from this provisional determination as the Company completes the analysis of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the Merger. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations does not reflect the costs of any disintegration activities or benefits that may result from realization of future cost savings from the Divestiture.

Exhibit 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Note 1 - Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are prepared in accordance with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X. The pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes and are based upon and derived from information and assumptions available at the time of this filing on Form 8-K.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are prepared using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations pursuant to the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Under the guidance of ASC 805, the Company is considered the acquirer of First Heritage for accounting purposes. Accordingly, consideration given by the Company to complete the Merger was allocated to the assets and liabilities of First Heritage based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition. As of the date of this Current Report, the Company has not completed the valuation analysis of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Accordingly, the adjustments are provisional and are subject to further adjustments as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. The provisional pro forma adjustments have been made solely for the purpose of providing the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements. Increases or decreases in the fair value of relevant balance sheet amounts will result in adjustments to the combined financial statements until the allocation of consideration is finalized, which will be made as soon as practicable but not later than one year from the acquisition date. There can be no assurance that such finalization will not result in material changes.

The unaudited pro forma financial information is based on financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which are subject to change and interpretation. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements were based on and derived from our historical consolidated financial statements, adjusted for certain Merger and transaction accounting adjustments. Actual adjustments, however, may differ materially from the information presented. Pro forma adjustments do not include allocations of corporate costs, as those are not directly attributable to the Divestiture. In addition, the unaudited pro forma financial information is based upon available information and assumptions that management considers to be reasonable, and such assumptions have been made solely for purposes of developing such unaudited pro forma financial information for illustrative purposes in compliance with the disclosure requirements of the SEC. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the financial position or statement of operations results would have actually been had the Merger and Divestiture occurred on the dates indicated. In addition, these unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should not be considered to be indicative of our future consolidated financial performance and statement of operations results. Further, the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations does not reflect the costs of integration activities or benefits from the realization of future cost savings due to operating efficiencies or revenue synergies expected to result from the Merger. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations does not reflect the costs of separation activities or benefits from the realization of future cost savings due to corporate cost savings expected to result from the Divestiture.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for six month period ended June 30, 2022 and unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 give effect to the Merger and Divestiture as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2021. The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 has been prepared giving effect to the Merger and Divestiture occurred on June 30, 2022.

Note 2 - CURO Group Holdings Corp Pro Forma Combined

This amount represents the CURO Group Holdings Corp. and Heights Pro Forma Combined presented in the Company’s unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021 and accompanying notes included as Exhibit 99.2 on Form 8-K filed March 7, 2022.

Note 3 - Accounting Policies

As part of preparing the pro forma combined financial statements, the Company conducted a review of the accounting policies of First Heritage and did not note any material differences in accounting policies that would require pro forma adjustments to conform to the Company’s accounting policies.

The accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations are those set out in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Note 4 - Divestiture Accounting Adjustments

(a) Reflects the elimination of the assets, liability, and historical equity balances sold as part of the Divestiture, as of June 30, 2022. The amount of the actual gain will be calculated based on the net book value of the sold Divestiture entities as of the closing of the Divestiture on July 8, 2022 and, therefore, would differ from the current estimate, as of June 30, 2022.

(b) Reflects the addition of $310 million of cash and cash equivalents related to proceeds received at closing net of $49.7 million estimated debt payoff, $20.3 million cash retained by Divestiture entities, $6.8 million estimated transaction costs, and $0.1 million other estimated closing statement adjustments. Reflects the addition of $35.0 million of prepaid expenses and other related to deferred consideration.

Exhibit 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(c) Reflects the elimination of revenue and expenses associated with the Divestiture for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the six month months ended June 30, 2022.

(d) Reflects recording of $6.1 million in reimbursements for costs incurred associated with the Transition Services Agreement entered into as part of the Divestiture that will be provided for the year ended December 31, 2021.

(e) Applies a 25% estimated blended tax rate to Transaction Accounting Adjustments for the Divestiture. The estimated blended tax rate consists of the U.S. federal income tax rate and an estimated combined state and local income tax rate driven by the apportionment factors applicable to each state.

Note 5 - Reclassification Adjustments

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet has been adjusted to reflect certain reclassifications of First Heritage’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the Company’s financial statement presentation.

Financial information presented in the “Historical First Heritage, As Reclassified” column in the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 has been reclassified to conform to the Company’s presentation as indicated in the table below (in thousands):

Prior to acquisition, First Heritage did not record a provision for income taxes. The Company applied a 25% estimated blended tax rate to Transaction Accounting Adjustments for the Divestiture. The estimated blended tax rate consists of the U.S. federal income tax rate and an estimated combined state and local income tax rate driven by the apportionment factors applicable to each state.

Exhibit 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Note 6 - Calculation of Provisional Purchase Price, Purchase Price Allocation, and Adjustments to Pro Forma Balance Sheet

(a) Information regarding the acquisition is provisional and based on information available in the limited time since July 14, 2022. Due to the timing of the close of the acquisition, the information described below will be finalized in subsequent periods as prescribed in ASC 805. In conjunction with the acquisition, First Heritage entered into an asset-backed warehouse facility under a Credit Agreement with First Heritage Credit, LLC included as Exhibit 99.2 on Form 8-K filed July 14, 2022, which is reflected in these adjustments. All below provisional purchase price and purchase price allocation is presented on the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet in the “Historical First Heritage, As Reclassified” column.

The provisional purchase price was calculated as follows (in thousands):


Cash consideration
Cash consideration paid at closing (1)	$	140,000
Working capital true up adjustment	51
Cash payment for cash acquired	20,948
Total consideration paid	$	160,999
(1) Calculated in accordance with the Purchase Agreement as the base purchase price

The following table presents the provisional purchase price allocation recorded in the Company’s unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of the date of June 30, 2022 (in thousands):


	Amounts acquired if transaction closed on June 30, 2022 (as adjusted)
Assets
Cash and cash equivalents	$	30,371
Gross loans receivable	213,582
Prepaid expenses and other	1,191
Property and equipment	589
Right-of-use assets	4,200

Other assets	228
Total assets	$	250,161

Liabilities
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	$	3,650
Lease liabilities	4,200
Accrued interest on debt	805
Debt	171,470
Total liabilities	$	180,125

Net assets acquired	$	70,036
Total consideration paid	160,999
Goodwill	$	90,963

Goodwill of $91.0 million represents the excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The goodwill was primarily attributed to expected synergies created with the Company’s future product offerings and the value of the combined workforce.

(b) As part of the transaction, First Heritage’s subordinated debt was not acquired. First Heritage’s revolving debt was refinanced to a new $225 million non-recourse revolving warehouse facility. The effective interest rate was 1-month SOFR plus 4.25%. The warehouse revolving period matures on July 13, 2024. The $225 million non-recourse revolving warehouse facility was entered into upon the close of the transaction and is considered, for accounting purposes, a component of the acquisition. The debt balance has been adjusted to give effect to these transactions, including the removal of the accrued interest that was paid at closing. As part of the entering into the new facility, the Company paid certain expenses and reclassified $1.9 million of cash and cash equivalents as restricted cash.
