                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Plan Administrator of the
   Cash America International, Inc.
   401(k) Savings Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the Cash America International, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (the Plan)
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statement of changes in net
assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1996. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our audits are performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules
of the Plan are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a
required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion,
are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.       DESCRIPTION OF PLAN AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

         The following brief description of the Cash America International,
         Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (the Plan) is provided as general
         information only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for
         complete information regarding the Plan's definitions, benefits,
         eligibility and other matters.

         PLAN AMENDMENT

         The Plan was amended effective July 1, 1996. This amendment, among
         other changes, generally provides participants additional investment
         directions for their contributions, accelerated vesting of Company
         contributions, reduced service time for participation, and increased
         Company matching percentages. The amendment also renamed the plan from
         the "Cash America International, Inc. 401(k) Employees Savings Plan" to
         the "Cash America International, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan."

         THE FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF PLAN PROVISIONS EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 1996:

         GENERAL

         The Plan is a contributory savings plan available to all full-time 
         employees of Cash America International, Inc. who have completed six 
         months of service and have reached 21 years of age, and all part-time 
         employees who have completed one year of service and have reached 21 
         years of age.  Employee contribution to the Plan is voluntary. The
         Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
         Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The Plan is intended to qualify under
         Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.

         CONTRIBUTIONS

         Participants may contribute a percentage of their annual compensation
         (up to 15%) to the Plan on a before-tax basis, subject to the Internal
         Revenue Service's (IRS) limitations, which are adjusted each year to
         take into account any cost of living increase provided for that year.
         For 1996 and 1995, the IRS limitation was $9,500 and $9,240,
         respectively. Contributions designated by the participant are withheld
         by the employer and remitted directly to the trustee.

1.       DESCRIPTION OF PLAN AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES,

         CONTRIBUTIONS, CONTINUED

         Company matching contributions are made in cash and are allocated
         among a participant's account in the same percentages to which the
         employee directs his or her contributions. The Company matches 50% of
         a participant's contribution on the first 5% of compensation.

         PARTICIPANTS' ACCOUNTS

         Each participant's account is credited with his or her contribution
         and allocations of (a) the Company's matching and discretionary
         contributions and (b) Plan earnings. The benefit to which a
         participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the
         participant's vested account.

         INVESTMENT OPTIONS, CONTINUED

         o    GROWTH STOCK FUND - Funds are primarily invested in common
              stocks and convertible securities, especially those with prices
              deemed below their long-term value. Funds are also invested in
              equity or debt securities of foreign companies. The number of
              participants in this fund as of December 31, 1996 is 347. 

         o    AGGRESSIVE GROWTH STOCK FUND - Funds are primarily invested
              in common stock of small- to medium-size emerging growth
              companies. The number of participants in this fund as of December
              31, 1996 is 371.         

         o    INTERNATIONAL FUND - Funds are primarily invested in stocks

              United States. The number of participants in this fund as of
              December 31, 1996 is 144.         

         The allocation of a participant's contributions among investment funds
         is determined by the participant and may be changed at any time.

         VESTING

         Participants are always 100% vested in their voluntary contributions
         plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the remainder of their
         accounts is based on the number of years of service as follows:

         PARTICIPANT NOTES RECEIVABLE

         Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $500
         up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of their
         vested account balance. Loan transactions are treated as a transfer to
         (from) the investment fund from (to) the Participant Notes Receivable
         Fund. Loan terms range from one to five years, except for loans funded
         for purchase of a principal residence which may be repaid over ten
         years.

         The loans are collateralized by the balance in the participant's
         account and bear interest at 1% above the prime rate as published in
         the Wall Street Journal on the first day of the month in which the
         loan is funded. Interest rates range from 7.75% to 10.75% for loans
         outstanding at December 31, 1996. Principal and interest are paid
         ratably through monthly payroll deductions. A loan origination fee of
         $50 is assessed to the borrowing participant by the Plan upon funding
         of the loan.

         PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

         The vested portion of a participant's account becomes available upon
         termination of employment, retirement, total and permanent disability,
         death, upon reaching the age of 59-1/2, or for the purpose of enabling
         a participant to meet an eligible hardship. All distributions from
         participant accounts must be paid as a lump sum. In the event of death
         of the participant, the beneficiary is entitled to receive the lump 
         sum distribution. Hardship withdrawals are permitted if the 
         participant meets the eligibility requirements.
         
         FORFEITURES

         Forfeitures represent unvested portions of terminated participants'
         accounts and are used to partially offset recordkeeping, trustee and
         other administrative expenses of the Plan.

         BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

         The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual
         method of accounting.

         INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION

         The Plan's investments in each investment fund are valued at fair
         value, using market quotations, where available, and other available
         information. Participant notes receivable are valued at original loan
         value less principal repayments, which approximates fair value. The
         Plan presents, in the statement of changes in net assets available for
         benefits, the net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of 
         investments, which consists of the realized

         gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on
         investments. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a
         trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
         Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

         PARTICIPANT WITHDRAWALS

         Participant withdrawals are recorded when paid for financial statement
         purposes. For Form 5500 reporting purposes, participant withdrawals
         are recorded when processed and approved for payment.

         PLAN ADMINISTRATION

         Expenses related to the Plan are borne by four sources: 1) loan
         origination fees, 2) forfeitures, 3) the Company and 4) participants.

         USE OF ESTIMATES

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
         and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
         liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
         date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of changes
         in net assets available for benefits during the reporting period.
         Actual results could differ from those estimates.


         PRIOR TO THE JULY 1, 1996 AMENDMENT, THE PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN
         OPERATED AS PREVIOUSLY DESCRIBED, WITH THE FOLLOWING EXCEPTIONS:

         PLAN PARTICIPATION

         Participation in the Plan required employees of the Company to have
         completed one year of service.

         could be changed quarterly.

3.       PLAN TERMINATION

         The Plan has been established with the intention that it will continue
         and be a permanent plan. However, the Plan may be terminated by
         resolution of the Company's Board of Directors at any time, subject to
         the provisions of ERISA. In the event the Plan terminates, the
         participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.

4.       PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS:

         The Company's contributions prior to July 1, 1996 were made in the
         form of Company stock.

         Certain plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by Charles
         Schwab Trust Company and Bank One Texas, N.A. or their affiliates.
         These institutions serve as trustees to the Plan and, therefore,
         qualify as party-in-interest transactions.


5.       FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS:

         The Plan was based on a prototype plan developed by the trustee which
         received its opinion letter on March 16, 1995, in which the Internal
         Revenue Service stated that the prototype plan was in compliance with
         the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan has
         been amended from the prototype plan; however, the plan administrator
         believes that the Plan as designed and operated is in compliance with 
         the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, therefore,
         the financial statements of the Plan do not have a provision for
         federal income taxes. The Company is in the process of submitting the
         plan for specific determination by the Internal Revenue Service.
