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, 1996, the Company had a 49%
ownership interest, each, in Mr. Payroll Corporation ("Mr. Payroll") and
Express Rent A Tire Ltd. ("Express") (see Note 4). These investments are being
accounted for using the equity method of accounting, whereby the Company
records its 49% share of earnings or losses of such affiliates in its
consolidated financial statements.
The financial statements as of September 30, 1996 and 1995, 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 and nine months are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal
year.
These financial statements and related notes should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders.
NOTE 2 - CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
Effective January 1, 1995, the Company changed its method of income
recognition on pawn loans. The Company accrues pawn service charges for all
loans that the Company deems collection is probable based on historical loan
redemption statistics. For loans not repaid, the carrying value of the
forfeited collateral ("inventory") is stated at the lower of cost (cash amount
loaned) or market.
The cumulative effect of the accounting change on years prior to January
1, 1995 of $19,772,000 (net of a tax benefit of $11,611,000) is included as a
reduction of net income for the first quarter of 1995.

========= =========
In addition, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary in Sweden has an undrawn
commitment as of September 30, 1996, for a 10,000,000 Swedish Kronor ("SEK")
line of credit.
On June 19, 1996, the Company modified the terms of its existing unsecured
credit agreement, previously providing for a $100,000,000 line of credit
maturing in 1998 and a $25,000,000 line of credit maturing in 1997, by
providing for a $125,000,000 revolving unsecured line of credit with a maturity
of June 30, 2001. The modified credit agreement requires that a fee of 1/4%
per annum be paid quarterly on the amount of the unused commitment. The
borrowing rate under the modified line of credit is, at the Company's option,
either the base rate as specified by the Agent Bank, or a margin, 75 basis
points as of September 30, 1996, over LIBOR based on the Company's
debt-to-total capital ratio, measured quarterly. The modified credit agreement
provides for financial covenants similar to those previously in effect.
On June 2, 1995, the Company entered into a floating-to-fixed interest rate
exchange agreement for a portion of the SEK 185,000,000 term loan. The
agreement fixes the interest rate on SEK 118,750,000 (approximately $17,898,000
at September 30, 1996) at 10.9% through August 26, 1998. The overall effective
rate of interest on the Swedish Term Loan at September 30, 1996, was 9.2% after
taking into account the interest rate exchange agreement.
NOTE 4 - INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES
On July 13, 1994, the Company acquired a 49% interest in Mr. Payroll, a
private company which sells franchises for check-cashing kiosks and service
centers. In conjunction with its investment, the Company has entered into a
revolving credit agreement with Mr. Payroll which provides for maximum
Page 6
9
borrowings of $3.5 million from the Company. Interest is payable quarterly at
a rate, reset monthly, that is equivalent to LIBOR plus 4%. 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 all of its assets. As of
September 30, 1996, Mr. Payroll had borrowings outstanding of $3,000,000. The
amounts are included in other assets.
On September 20, 1995, the Company acquired a 49% interest in Express, a
private company which offers automobile and truck tires and wheels on a
rent-to-own basis. In conjunction with its investment, the Company has entered
into a revolving credit agreement with Express which provides for maximum
borrowings of $3.0 million from the Company. Interest is payable quarterly at
a rate, reset monthly, that is equivalent to LIBOR plus 4%. The entire unpaid
principal balance is due and payable in full on February 28, 1998. Express has
granted the Company a security interest in all of its assets. As of September
30, 1996, Express had borrowings outstanding of $1,900,000. The amounts are
included in other assets.
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.

IMPACT OF EXPANDING OPERATIONS
The Company expanded its operations over the 21-month period from
December 31, 1994, through September 30, 1996, with the addition of 45
pawnshops. Thirty-nine stores were new start-ups and six stores were acquired
during the period, and five stores were combined into existing locations for a
net addition of 40 stores during the 21-month period. At September 30, 1996,
the Company operated 380 pawnshops--333 in 14 states in the United States, 37
in the United Kingdom operating under the name Harvey & Thompson, Ltd., and 10
in Sweden operating under the name Svensk Pantbelaning.
Net revenues (total revenues less cost of sales) increased $3.4 million,
or 9%, in the third quarter of 1996 over the same period of 1995, resulting
primarily from a 9% gain on same stores (those in operation more than one
year). Net revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996,
increased $8.8 million, or 8%, over the corresponding period in 1995. This
increase resulted primarily from an 8% gain from same stores.
PAWN SERVICE CHARGES
Pawn service charges are impacted by changes in the average outstanding
amount of pawn loans and average loan yields. Pawn service charges increased
$4.2 million, or 21%, and $9.5 million, or 16%, for the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 1996, respectively, over the comparable periods in
1995. These increases resulted primarily from same store increases in the
average outstanding amount of pawn loans of 19% and 14% for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 1996, respectively, over the comparable
periods in 1995, combined with a slight increase in the average number of
stores in operation.
The average loan balance per average location increased 17% and 10% for
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996, respectively, over
the comparable periods in 1995. These increases in average loan balances per
average location were the combined result of domestic increases of 19% and 10%,
respectively, increases in the Swedish stores of 22% and 23%, respectively, and
a 5% increase and 3% decrease, respectively, for the Harvey & Thompson stores.
The yield on loans outstanding increased in the three and nine month
periods ending September 30, 1996, to approximately 96% and 97%, respectively,
from 95% and 96%, respectively, for the same periods in 1995. The consolidated
96% annual yield represents a weighted average of the distinctive yields
realized in the three different countries in which the Company operates. In
its domestic operations the Company realized a slight increase of 1% in its
loan yield to 124% in the third quarter of 1996 from 123% in the third quarter
of 1995. Domestically, the loan yield for the nine months ended September 30,
1996, was 126% compared to 124% for the same period in 1995. Internationally,
loans at Harvey & Thompson in the
Page 10

United Kingdom yielded 69% and 71% for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1996, respectively, compared to 68% and 69%, respectively, for
the same periods in 1995, while loans at Svensk Pantbelaning in Sweden yielded
46% during both periods in 1996 and 1995. This produced a blended
international yield of 56% for both respective periods in 1996 compared to 55%
in the third quarter and 57% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
SALES AND GROSS PROFIT
Sales for the three months ended September 30, 1996, increased $2.8
million, or 7%, compared to the same period of 1995. The rise in sales was
impacted by a same store sales increase of 4%, a $738,000 increase in sales of
scrap gold and other precious metals at wholesale, and a slight increase in the
average number of stores in operation during the period. Sales for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, increased $11.6 million, or 10%, compared to
the same period of 1995. The rise in sales was impacted by a same store sales
increase of 3%, a $4.7 million increase in sales of scrap gold and other
precious metals at wholesale and a slight increase in the average number of
stores in operation.
Gross profit margins decreased to 37.1% and 37.6% for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1996, respectively, compared to 42.0% and 41.8% for
the same periods in 1995. However, inventory turns increased from 1.5 times
for the three months ended September 30, 1995, to 2.1 times for the three
months ended September 30, 1996. Inventory turns for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, increased to 2.1 times from 1.6 times for the corresponding
period in 1995. During the first quarter of 1996, the Company introduced a new
incentive compensation program for its field operations personnel with a focus
of rewarding the maximization of cash returns on capital employed. Management
of the Company believes that the new incentive program has led to increased
revenues, increased inventory turns, and decreased inventory levels while
emphasizing increases in net revenues. This emphasis contributed to decreased
gross profit margins for both the three month and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1996.
EXPENSES
Operations and administrative expenses increased $824,000, or 3.1%, in
the third quarter of 1996 over the third quarter of 1995. This increase
consists of a 1% increase in same store operating expenses, an increase in the
average number of stores in operation during the period and a decrease in
recruiting and relocation expenses for administrative personnel. As a
percentage of net revenues, this represents a decrease to 69% for 1996 compared
to 74% in 1995. For the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, operations
and administrative expenses increased $5.2 million over the same period in
1995, while the percentage of expenses to net revenues decreased from 71% in
1995 to 70% for the same period in 1996.

Domestic operations and administration expenses, as a percentage of
domestic net revenues, decreased to 74% in the third quarter of 1996 from 77%
in 1995. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the percentage
decreased from 75% to 74% for the same period in 1995.
Operations and administrative expenses related to foreign operations
decreased as a percentage of foreign net revenues from 49% for the three month
period ended September 30, 1995 to 44% in the three months ended September 30,
1996. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the percentage decreased
from 47% to 46% for the same period in 1995.
Depreciation and amortization, as a percentage of net revenues decreased
to 10% from 11% for the three month periods ending September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, and was constant at 10% for the nine month periods ending
September 30, 1996 and 1995.
Net interest expense, as a percentage of net revenues, decreased to 6.0%
for the three month and nine month period ended September 30, 1996, from 7.6%
and 7.1% for the respective periods in 1995. This reduction resulted primarily
from decreases in the average debt balance outstanding of 10% for the third
quarter of 1996 compared to the third quarter of 1995, and a 9% reduction in
the average debt balance outstanding for the nine months ended September 30,
1996, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995. In addition there
was a slight decrease in the weighted average interest rates for the three
month period ended September 30, 1996, and for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1996, compared to the same periods for 1995.
OTHER INCOME/(EXPENSE)
During the third quarter of 1996 and 1995 the Company recorded losses
from its investments in affiliates of $236,000 and $135,000, respectively. For
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, the Company recorded losses
on these investments of $766,000 and $329,000, respectively. These losses were
partially offset by rent income and other miscellaneous items.
INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective tax rate decreased to 37% in the third quarter
of 1996 compared to 41% for the same period in 1995. The effective tax rate
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, remained constant at 38% compared
to the corresponding period in 1995. The effective tax rate for the Company's
domestic operations decreased to 41% from 49% for the three month periods ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, while the effective tax rate for its
foreign operations decreased to 32% in the third quarter of 1996 compared to
36% for the same period in 1995. The Company's effective tax rate for domestic
operations decreased to 41% for
Page 12

the nine month period ending September 30, 1996, compared to 43% for the same
period in 1995.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September 30, 1996, cash and cash equivalents decreased to $1.4
million from $3.4 million at December 31, 1995. This decrease was caused by
investments in increased loan balances of $16.2 million, purchases of $5.2
million of property and equipment, reduction of long-term debt of $2.9 million,
advances to affiliates of $2.1 million, and payment of dividends and other
activities of $1.5 million. These decreases were offset by $25.9 million of
cash generated from operating activities.
The Company currently has a $125 million unsecured revolving bank line
of credit, of which $83.6 million was unused at September 30, 1996. The
Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Harvey & Thompson, Ltd., has a committed 5
million pound sterling unsecured revolving line of credit from a UK based
commercial bank, of which 4.1 million pounds sterling was unused at September
30, 1996. The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Svensk Pantbelaning AB, has a
SEK 10 million unsecured revolving line of credit with a commercial bank, all
of which was unused at September 30, 1996.
The Company believes that funds provided from operations, coupled with
the Company's current working capital and available lines of credit, should be
sufficient to meet its foreseeable cash requirements.
