CASH AMERICA INTERNATIONAL, INC. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (UNAUDITED)      

================================================================================

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Cash America International, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries
(the "Company").  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.  At September 30, 1994, the Company had a 49%
ownership interest in Mr. Payroll Corporation ("Mr. Payroll") (see Note 5).
The investment is being accounted for using the equity method of accounting,
whereby the Company records its 49% share of earnings or losses of Mr. Payroll
in its consolidated financial statements.

         The financial statements as of September 30, 1994 and 1993 and for the
three months and nine months then ended are unaudited but, in management's
opinion, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim
periods.  Operating results for the three months are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year.

         Certain amounts in the consolidated statements of income for the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 1993 have been reclassified to
conform with the presentation form adopted in 1994.  These reclassifications
have no effect on the net income previously reported.

         These financial statements and related notes should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders.

NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING CHANGE

         Effective January 1, 1993 the Company changed its method of accounting
for income taxes from the deferred method to the liability method required by
FASB Statement No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes."  As permitted under the
new rules, prior years' financial statements have not been restated.  The
cumulative effect of adopting Statement 109 was to increase net income by
$265,000, or $.01 per share, through a reduction in the provision for income
taxes during the first quarter of 1993.

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITION

         On September 22, 1994, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
stock of Svensk Pantbelaning, a company operating a chain of ten pawnshops in
Sweden.  The Company paid $5.4 million and assumed liabilities of $17 million,
consisting primarily of bank debt.  The Company received $18 million of
tangible assets, consisting primarily of $16 million in pawn loans outstanding.

         On June 30, 1993, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock
of Express Cash International Corporation ("Express Cash") for $6.2 million in
cash.  The Company received $6.0 million of tangible assets and assumed $8.7
million of Express Cash liabilities.  Express Cash operates 18 pawnshops
located in San Antonio, Houston and Laredo, Texas.

NOTE 4 - LONG-TERM DEBT

         On September 21, 1994, in conjunction with the acquisition of Svensk
Pantbelaning, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, CAII Pantbelaning AB,
established a 193,750,000 Swedish kronor ("SEK") term loan (approximately
$26,000,000).  The term loan matures three years from the date of inception and
there is no scheduled amortization of the principal balance prior to maturity.
Interest is payable at Stockholm InterBank Offered Rate (STIBOR) plus 1%.  As
of September 30, 1994 SEK 75,000,000 (approximately $10,000,000) was
outstanding under the term loan.

         On May 12, 1993 the Company issued $30,000,000 of "8.33% Senior
Notes", due May 1, 2003.  Interest is payable on May 1 and November 1 of each
year, commencing on November 1, 1993.  Mandatory annual payments of $4,285,714
commence May, 1997.  On May 28, 1993, the Company entered into two swap
agreements for $10,000,000 each, under which the Company receives a fixed rate
of 4.87% and pays the bank a variable rate (currently 5.00%) repriced every six
months to the prevailing 6 month BBA average LIBOR rate.  The effective
interest rate on the Senior Notes for the period June 2, 1994 to December 2,
1994 is 8.45% after taking into account the two swap transactions.

         On June 7, 1994 the Company extended the maturity date and made
certain modifications to its $125,000,000 unsecured bank line of credit
originally entered into on June 29, 1993.  The agreement was modified to extend
the maturity of $100,000,000 of the line of credit to April 30, 1997 with the
remaining $25,000,000




                                     Page 6

portion scheduled to mature on June 6, 1995.  As of September 30, 1994, no
borrowings had been made under the $25,000,000 portion of the bank line of
credit.  The Company has the option each year to request a one-year extension,
thus moving the maturity date of the entire facility forward one year.
Interest is paid quarterly at rates determined at the Company's option of
either the bank's prime lending rate or LIBOR plus 1%.  In addition the
agreement provides for annual commitment fees of 3/8% per annum on the unused
portion of $100,000,000 of the commitment and .15% per annum on the unused
portion of $25,000,000 of the commitment.

NOTE 5 -INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE

         On July 13, 1994, the Company paid $2 million to acquire a 49%
interest in Mr. Payroll, a private, Texas-based company which sells franchised
check-cashing kiosks primarily in Southwestern states.  The Company intends to
operate franchised check-cashing kiosks in some of its pawnshop locations.

         In conjunction with the Company's investment, the Company has entered
into a revolving credit agreement with Mr. Payroll which provides for maximum
borrowings of $1 million from the Company.  Interest is payable quarterly at
the LIBOR rate plus four percent.  The entire unpaid principal balance is due
and payable in full on February 28, 1997.  Mr. Payroll has granted the Company
a security interest and lien in and to all of its assets.  As of September 30,
1994, Mr. Payroll had borrowings outstanding of $200,000.

NOTE 6 - LITIGATION

      The Company is a defendant in certain lawsuits encountered in the ordinary
course of its business.  In the opinion of management, the resolution of these
matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

3RD QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS ENDING
SEPTEMBER 30, 1994 VS. 1993

IMPACT OF EXPANDING OPERATIONS

         The Company expanded its operations over the 21-month period from
January 1, 1993 through September 30, 1994 with the addition of 97 pawnshops.
Fifty-four stores were started during the period and forty-three stores were
acquired, culminating with the September 22, 1994 acquisition of the 10-store
chain of loan-only pawnshops of Svensk Pantbelaning based in Stockholm, Sweden.
Thirteen stores were combined into existing locations, for a net addition of 84
stores during the period.  At the end of the period, the Company operated 333
pawnshops--294 in 14 states in the United States, 29 jewelry-only, loan-only
pawnshops in the United Kingdom, which operate under a subsidiary of the
Company, Harvey & Thompson, Ltd., and the ten locations in Sweden.  In addition
to the acquisition of the Svensk Pantbelaning group, included in the acquired
stores is a chain of 18 pawnshops acquired from Express Cash International
Corporation ("Express Cash") on June 30, 1993.

         Revenues net of cost of sales increased 23% and 18%, respectively, in
the third quarter and first nine months of 1994 compared to the same periods of
1993, with the increase arising from new store additions in the periods and
growth in existing stores.  The average number of stores in operation for the
periods increased by 16% in the third quarter and 17% for the nine month
period.  Revenues net of cost of sales on comparable stores (those in operation
more than one year) increased 12% in the third quarter and 5% in the
year-to-date period ending September 30, 1994, compared to the same periods in
the prior year.

SALES AND GROSS PROFIT

         Sales for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1994
increased 4% and 5% compared to the same periods of 1993.  Sales from new
stores accounted for the increase in overall sales, with comparable store sales
down 3% and 6% from the third quarter and first nine months of the prior
periods. Gross profit margins for the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 1994 were 17% and 19%, respectively, which were relatively
unchanged compared to 18% and 17% for the same periods in 1993.  Inventory
turns were down to 1.6 times for the three months and nine months ending
September 30, 1994 compared to 1.6 and 1.8 times, respectively, in the prior
periods.  Contributing to the decline in inventory turns were higher
concentrations of startup stores, which have lower turns during the first year
of operations, and a decrease in comparable store sales.




                                    Page 10

   13
The decline in comparable store sales is partially attributable to the
Company's decision to omit a seasonal sales promotion during the first half of
1994, and to reduced sales of jewelry and other merchandise at wholesale.

PAWN SERVICE CHARGES

         Pawn service charges for the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 1994 increased 30% and 19%, respectively, compared to the same
periods in 1993.  The average number of pawnshops increased by 16% and 17%
during the periods, and loans outstanding on comparable stores increased by 16%
and 9% in 1994 over the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 1993.
The average annual yield on pawn loans outstanding during the three and nine
month periods ending September 30, 1994 was virtually unchanged at
approximately 174% during the periods, compared to the same periods in 1993.

         The increase in average pawn loans and loan balances per location by
18% and 12%, respectively, is due to the acquisition of Svensk Pantbelaning,
which lends higher amounts per average loan and has larger loan balances per
shop.

EXPENSES

         Operating expenses increased 25% and 17%, respectively, for the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 1994 over the same periods in 1993,
resulting from the increase in number of stores in operation during the
periods.  Operating expenses relative to revenues net of cost of sales were
relatively unchanged during the periods at 56% and 58% in the third quarter and
first nine months of 1994, compared to 56% and 59% for the same periods in
1993.  The increase during the third quarter in excess of the 16% growth in
average number of stores in operation was the result of more personnel being
trained during the quarter in preparation for the 1994 holiday season and for
future store development.

         Administrative expenses for the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 1994 were up 19% and 9% over the same periods in 1993, with the
increases related to the number of stores opened.  As a result of low growth in
administrative expenses and an increase in revenues net of cost of sales,
administrative expense as a percentage of revenues net of cost of sales dropped
from 11% and 12% for the third quarter and year to date of 1993 to 10% and 11%
during the same periods in 1994.




                                    Page 11

   14
         Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of revenues net of cost
of sales was virtually unchanged at approximately 9% in each of the four
periods.  Net interest expense increased from 4% to 5% of revenues net of cost
of sales during the third quarter, and from 3% to 4% in the first nine months
from 1993 to 1994 due to higher interest rates on outstanding debt and a larger
average outstanding balance during the 1994 periods.  In addition, interest
rates increased on a long-term, fixed rate debt related to a private placement
of $30,000,000 in May 1993, the proceeds of which were used to reduce
lower-rate short term bank debt.

OTHER INCOME

         During the first nine months of 1994, the Company sold certain
non-operating assets at a loss, before taxes, of approximately $200,000. Other
income for the third quarter of 1994 includes $16,000 for the Company's
proportionate share of the net earnings of Mr. Payroll Corporation.  The
remainder of the other income is rent income, miscellaneous refunds and other
items.

INCOME TAXES

         During the first quarter of 1993, the Company changed its method of
accounting for income taxes from the deferred method to the liability method
required by FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".  The
cumulative effect of adopting FAS 109 was to increase net income by $265,000
during the first quarter of 1993.  Absent this change in accounting for income
taxes, the tax rate increased from 37% in the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1993 to 38% for the same periods in 1994 as the result of a 1%
change in the Federal statutory rate during 1993 and higher earnings during the
first half of 1994 from stores in states which have state income taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         During the first nine months of 1994, the Company's capital
expenditures totaled $29 million.  The Company invested $12 million on the
acquisition of 21 pawnshops and $17 million on real estate, leasehold
improvements, and equipment for startup locations, remodeling selected
pawnshops, additions to its computer systems, and other fixed asset purchases.

         Included in the acquisitions noted above, on September 22, 1994 the
Company finalized a transaction in which a subsidiary of the Company acquired
all of the shares of a group of companies in Sweden which comprise the




                                    Page 12

   15
Svensk Pantbelaning chain of 10 pawnbroking locations.  The Company paid $5
million and assumed liabilities of $17 million to obtain the companies, which
had as their principal assets pawn loans outstanding of $16 million.

         The funding of these items has come from the Company's three-year,
$125 million revolving bank line of credit, operating earnings, and a new term
loan in Sweden for 193,750,000 Swedish Kronor (approximately $26 million),
which was used in making the acquisition of Svensk Pantbelaning.  The term loan
was established on September 21, 1994 by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary,
CAII Pantbelaning AB, matures three years from the date of inception, and has
no scheduled amortization of the principal balance prior to maturity.  Interest
is payable at Stockholm InterBank Offered Rate (STIBOR) plus 1%.  As of
September 30, 1994 SEK 75 million (approximately $10 million) was outstanding
under the loan.

         On July 13, 1994 the Company acquired for $2 million a 49% interest in
Mr. Payroll Corporation, a private, Texas-based company which sells franchised
check-cashing kiosks primarily in southwestern states.  The Company has
accounted for the investment and the earnings therefrom under the equity method
of accounting.

         In addition to the bank line of credit, the Company on May 12, 1993
issued $30 million of Senior Unsecured Notes, due May 1, 2003, to Teachers
Insurance and Annuity Association of America.  The unsecured notes bear
interest at 8.33% and are payable in seven equal principal  installments
beginning May 1, 1997.  The Company has entered into an interest rate swap on
$20 million of these notes, which resulted in an effective floating interest
rate, currently at 8.4%, on the debt.

         Management believes that borrowings available under its $125 million
revolving bank line of credit facility, the term loan of SEK 193,750,000 in
Sweden, and a L.5 million line of credit available in Harvey & Thompson, Ltd.
through a U.K. commercial bank, combined with cash generated from operations
and current working capital of $168 million will be sufficient to meet the
Company's anticipated future capital requirements.
