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 March 31, 1995, the Company had a 49%
ownership interest in Mr. Payroll Corporation ("Mr. Payroll") (see Note 4).
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 March 31, 1995 and 1994 and for the
three 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 ended March 31, 1994, have been reclassified to conform with the
presentation form adopted in 1995.  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 1994 Annual Report to Stockholders.


NOTE 2 - 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.





                                    Page 5

NOTE 3 - 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.  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%, currently at 9.15%.  As
of March 31, 1995, SEK 193,750,000 (approximately $26,654,000) was outstanding
under the term loan.

        On May 12, 1993, the Company issued $30,000,000 of "8.33% Senior
Unsecured Notes", due May 1, 2003.  Interest is payable on May 1 and November 1
of each year.  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 6.5625%) repriced every six months to the prevailing
6 month BBA average LIBOR rate.  The effective interest rate on the Senior
Unsecured Notes for the period December 2, 1994, to June 2, 1995, is 9.52%
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 portion scheduled to mature on June 6, 1995.  As of March
31, 1995, 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.

        The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Harvey & Thompson, Ltd., has a
committed 5 million pound sterling unsecured line of credit, which matures on
February 8, 1996, from a U.K. based commercial bank.  Interest is payable
quarterly at an interest rate equal to the Bank's sterling cost of funds plus
60 basis points for borrowings less than 13 days and 55 basis points for
borrowings of 14 days or more.  Harvey & Thompson, Ltd. pays a fee on the
unused portion of the line of credit of .15% per annum.  The facility is
governed by a credit agreement which provides minimum levels of





                                    Page 6
   9
assets and net worth which must be maintained by Harvey & Thompson.  To date,
Harvey & Thompson has not borrowed under the line of credit.

NOTE 4 - 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 its investment, the Company has entered into a
revolving credit agreement with Mr. Payroll which provides for maximum
borrowings of $1.5 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 in and lien on all of its assets.  As of March 31, 1995,
Mr. Payroll had borrowings outstanding of $950,000.

NOTE 5 - 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.

1ST QUARTER 1995 VS 1994

IMPACT OF EXPANDING OPERATIONS

    The Company expanded its operations over the 15-month period from December
31, 1993 through March 31, 1995 with the addition of 82 pawnshops.  Fifty-eight
stores were started and 24 stores were acquired during the period, and five
stores were combined into existing locations for a net addition of 77 stores
during the 15-month period.  At March 31, 1995, the Company operated 357
pawnshops--314 in 14 states in the United States, 33 jewelry-only and loan-only
pawnshops in the United Kingdom operating under the name Harvey & Thompson,
Ltd., and 10 loan-only pawnshops which concentrate primarily in jewelry in
Sweden and operate under the name Svensk Pantbelaning.  The group of
corporations which comprise the  Swedish chain was acquired in September 1994
in a cash transaction.

    Net revenues (total revenues less cost of sales) increased 33% in the first
quarter of 1995 over the same period of 1994, and is attributable to a 9% gain
on comparable stores (those in operation more than one year) and a 24% increase
in average stores open during the two periods.


PAWN SERVICE CHARGES

    Pawn service charges increased 43% in the first quarter of 1995 over the
comparable quarter in 1994 due to gains in both comparable stores and number of
average locations in operation.  Pawn service charges on comparable stores
increased by 20% due to an increasing loan to value ratio in domestic stores
after the first quarter of 1994 and a 5% increase in the average yield on
domestic loans to 218% in the first quarter of 1995 compared to 207% for the
same period in 1994.  In the first quarter of 1994, the Company operated its
domestic pawnshops under a lower loan to value ratio, which determines the
amount to lend on a particular item.  When the Company increased its loan to
value ratio in domestic stores later in 1994, its loan balance and pawn service
charges increased, as did the amount of unredeemed merchandise available for
sale to customers.  The acquisition of Svensk Pantbelaning accounted for
approximately 50% of the increase in pawn service charges attributable to the
increase in the number of locations.

    The Company's average dollar loan increased to $90 from $74 and the average
yield on loans outstanding decreased to 154% from 174% for the periods March
31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Both of these factors are due to the
acquisition of Svensk Pantbelaning, which has a higher amount per loan, of
approximately $232, and a lower yield, of approximately 50%, than did the
Company's consolidated operations in





                                    Page 9
   12
the United States and the United Kingdom.  The weighting of the Swedish loans
in the Company's consolidated portfolio caused these changes in yields and
average loan amount.  The U.K. yield and the U.S. and U.K. average loan amounts
were unchanged compared to the prior period and the U.S. yield increased as
noted above.


SALES AND GROSS PROFIT

    Sales for the three months ended March 31, 1995 increased 20% compared to
the first quarter of 1994, caused by a 24% increase in average locations and a
4% increase in sales from comparable stores from the prior period.  The
Company's increase in the loan to value ratio, referred to above, after the
first quarter of 1994 contributed to the increase in comparable store sales,
and to a decline in the gross profit margin on sales to 17% in the three months
ended March 31, 1995 compared to 20% in the prior period.  In addition to a
higher cost in merchandise from unredeemed loans than in the prior period, the
Company utilized price discounting to sell selected merchandise and also had
increased sales of jewelry at wholesale.  Inventory turns declined to 1.7 times
from 1.8 times in the same period of the prior year as a result of a 6%
increase in average inventory per store in the three months ending March 31,
1995 compared to the prior period.  Contributing to the decline in inventory
turns were higher concentrations of startup stores, which have lower turns
during the first year of operations, and delayed Federal income tax refunds
received by the Company's customers.  The Company believes that this delay,
which was caused by changes in the processing methods utilized by the Internal
Revenue Service, decreased sales because many customers typically use a portion
of their refund to repay loans and purchase items of personal property.


EXPENSES

    Operating expenses relative to net revenues remained constant over the two
periods at 58%.  The overall increase in operating expenses of 32% is driven by
a 6% increase in same store operating expenses and the 24% increase in average
stores in operation for the period.

    Administrative expenses increased 36% over the prior period, but remained
virtually unchanged as a percentage of net revenues at 11% for each of the two
periods.  The 36% increase in administrative expense is due to the acquisition
of Svensk Pantbelaning as well as increased expenses in the Company's existing
operations, which were needed to continue to build infrastructure and systems
to support an expanding store base.





                                   Page 10
   13
    Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of net revenues was constant
at 9.8% over the two periods, as amortization increased 8%, primarily due to
the Swedish acquisition, and depreciation increased by 44%.  This increase in
depreciation was due to new store additions and computer point-of-sale hardware
and software, the installation of which was completed in most of the Company's
stores in late 1994.

    Net interest expense as a percentage of  net revenues increased to 6.6% in
the quarter compared to 3.4% in 1994, caused by increased bank debt and higher
rates on debt outstanding in the U.S., and by interest on debt used to finance
the acquisition of Svensk Pantbelaning.  The U.S. bank debt virtually doubled
between the two periods, and weighted average interest rates on the bank debt
and other domestic debt increased to 7.9% in the first quarter of 1995 from
5.8% in the year-ago period.  The borrowings of Swedish kronor under a term
loan bear interest at rates in effect for Swedish currency which are currently
higher than U.S. short term rates.


OTHER EXPENSE

    During the first quarter of 1995 and 1994, the Company realized losses on
certain non-operating assets, before taxes, of approximately $90,000 and
$200,000, respectively.  These losses were partially offset by rent income and
other miscellaneous items.


INCOME TAXES

    The Company's effective tax rate decreased to 36% in the first quarter of
1995 compared to 38% in the same period in 1994.  The domestic tax rate was
unchanged at 39% over the two periods, while the rate in the Company's foreign
operations decreased to 30% from 36% in the prior year as a result of lower tax
rates for Svensk Pantbelaning and the utilization of miscellaneous tax credits
in the United Kingdom in the first quarter of 1995.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    During the first quarter of 1995, the Company's capital expenditures
totaled $7.7 million.  The Company spent $1.4 million on the acquisition of
three pawnshops and $6.3 million on leasehold improvements and equipment for
start-up locations, additions to its computer systems, and miscellaneous fixed
asset purchases.

    The funding of these items has come from the Company's three-year, $125
million revolving bank line of credit and operating earnings.  The Company's
$30 million of Senior Unsecured Notes, due May 1,





                                   Page 11
   14
2003, to Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America bear interest at
8.33% and are payable in seven equal annual 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 9.52%, on the debt.

        Management believes that borrowings available under its $125 million
revolving bank line of credit facility and a 5 million pound sterling line of
credit available to Harvey & Thompson, Ltd. through a U.K. commercial bank,
cash generated from operations and current working capital of $174 million will
be sufficient to meet the Company's anticipated future capital requirements.
