CASH AMERICA INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cash
America International, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (the "Company").
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. Through January 31, 1998, the Company had a 49% ownership
interest in Express Rent A Tire, Ltd. ("Express") that was accounted for by the
equity method of accounting, whereby the Company recorded its 49% share of
earnings or losses in its consolidated financial statements. Effective February
1, 1998, the Company increased its ownership interest in Express to 99.9% and
reorganized it into a new corporation, Rent-A-Tire, Inc. ("Rent-A-Tire") (see
Note 3). The acquisition of additional interests has been accounted for as a
purchase and, accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Rent-A-Tire and the
results of its operations have been included in the consolidated financial
statements since February 1, 1998.

         The financial statements as of June 30, 1998 and 1997, and for the
three months and six 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 month and six month periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal
year.

         Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for the three
months and six months ended June 30, 1997, and the consolidated balance sheet at
December 31, 1997, have been reclassified to conform to the presentation format
adopted in 1998. 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 1997 Annual Report to Stockholders.

2.  REVENUE RECOGNITION

Lending Operations o Pawn loans ("loans") are made on the pledge of tangible
personal property. The Company accrues finance and service charge revenue on 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 ("merchandise held for disposition") is stated at the lower of cost
(cash amount loaned) or market.


                                     Page 6


<PAGE>   9




         Revenue is recognized at the time of disposition of merchandise.
Interim customer payments for layaway sales are recorded as deferred revenue and
subsequently recognized as revenue during the period in which final payment is
received.

Check-Cashing Operations o Check-cashing machine sales revenue is recorded upon
installation and activation of the machine. The Company records fees derived
from its owned check-cashing locations and machines on the cash basis, which
approximates the accrual basis. Royalties derived from franchised locations are
recorded on the accrual basis.

Rental Operations o Tire and wheel rentals are paid on a weekly basis in advance
and receipts are recorded on the cash basis. Customers may return the tires and
wheels at any time and have no obligation to complete the rental agreement.
Rent-A-Tire has entered into agreements to operate and manage stores for an
unrelated group of investors. The investors own and provide 100% financing for
the stores, and incur all costs to operate them. Rent-A-Tire receives initial
compensation for its efforts in constructing and opening each store and a fixed
monthly management fee.

3.  INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE

Effective February 1, 1998, the Company exercised its option to increase its
ownership interest in Express from 49% to 90%. In conjunction with the
reorganization of Express into Rent-A-Tire, the Company also acquired an
additional 9.9% ownership interest. The sellers have an option to repurchase
9.9% of Rent-A-Tire for a nominal amount. The option is exerciseable upon sixty
days written notice.

4.  LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company's long-term debt instruments and balances outstanding as of June 30
are as follows:

6.  OPERATION SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has two reportable operating segments in the lending industry and
one each in the check-cashing and rental industries. The United States and
foreign lending segments offer the same services. However, each is managed
separately due to the different operational strategies required. The
check-cashing and rental operations are managed separately because they offer
different services and products, each of which requires its own technical,
marketing and operational strategy.

GENERAL
         The Company is a diversified provider of specialty financial services
to individuals in the United States, United Kingdom and Sweden. The Company
offers secured non-recourse loans, commonly referred to as pawn loans, to
individuals through its lending operations. Pawn loans earn finance and service
charge revenue. The disposition of merchandise, primarily collateral from
unredeemed pawn loans, is a related but secondary source of net revenue from the
Company's lending function. The Company also provides check-cashing services
through its subsidiary, Mr. Payroll Corporation ("Mr. Payroll") and rental of
tires and wheels through its subsidiary, Rent-A-Tire, Inc. ("Rent-A-Tire").

         The Company expanded its lending operations during the eighteen-month
period ended June 30, 1998, by adding a net seventy-seven locations. Seventeen
locations were established, sixty-six operating units were acquired, and six
locations were combined or closed. As of June 30, 1998, the Company operated 459
lending units--409 in sixteen states in the United States, thirty-nine
jewelry-only and loan-only units in the United Kingdom, and eleven loan-only and
primarily jewelry-only units in Sweden.

         During the eighteen months ended June 30, 1998, Mr. Payroll has focused
on the development of an automated check-cashing machine. The first two machines
were installed in June 1997, and forty-five units were in operation as of June
30, 1998. Eight machines were installed in the second quarter of 1998. As of
June 30, 1998, Mr. Payroll also had 140 franchised and ten company owned manned
check-cashing centers in twenty-one states compared to 151 franchised centers as
of June 30, 1997.

         Through January 31, 1998, the Company had a 49% ownership interest in
Express Rent A Tire, Ltd. ("Express") that was accounted for by the equity
method of accounting, whereby the Company recorded its 49% share of earnings or
losses in its consolidated financial statements. Effective February 1, 1998, the
Company increased its ownership interest to 99.9% and reorganized the operations
of Express into Rent-A-Tire. The acquisition of additional interests has been
accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the assets and liabilities of
Rent-A-Tire and the results of its operations have been included in the
consolidated financial statements since February 1, 1998. As of June 30, 1998,
Rent-A-Tire owns and operates four tire and wheel rental stores and manages nine
additional tire and wheel rental stores under the Rent-A-Tire name including
five that were added during the second quarter of 1998.


SECOND QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1998, COMPARED TO THE
SECOND QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         Consolidated net revenue increased 12% to $46.7 million during the
second quarter ended June 30, 1998 (the "current quarter"), from $41.7 million
during the second quarter ended June 30, 1997 (the "prior year quarter"). Of the
12% increase, 7% was attributable to the net addition of sixty-four lending
locations since June 30, 1997, 3% was attributable to 


                                    Page 12

<PAGE>   15


gains from same unit lending operations (those in operation for more than one
year), and 2% was attributable to increases in the check-cashing and rental
segments of the Company.

         Net revenue from lending operations increased $4.3 million to $45.5
million during the current quarter from $41.2 million during the prior year
quarter, primarily due to a $3.1 million contribution by the lending units added
since June 30, 1997. The principal components of lending operations net revenue
are finance and service charges and net revenue from the disposition of
merchandise. The remaining component, foreign check-cashing operations,
commenced in the third quarter of 1997 and accounted for $.2 million of the
increase.

         Finance and service charges are impacted by changes in both the average
outstanding amount of pawn loans and the annualized yield on such loans. Finance
and service charges increased $3.0 million, or 12%, in the current quarter over
the prior year quarter. An 11% increase in the average outstanding amount of
pawn loans, which occurred as a result of a 9% increase in the average number of
loans outstanding and a 3% increase in the average loan amount, contributed $2.8
million of the total increase. A 1% increase in the annualized loan yield
provided the remaining $.2 million increase. Same units contributed $1.6 million
of the $3.0 million increase.

         The consolidated annualized loan yield, which represents a weighted
average of the distinctive loan yields realized in the three countries in which
the Company operates, increased to 96% in the current quarter from 95% in the
prior year quarter even though both the domestic and blended foreign loan yields
decreased. The consolidated increase occurred due to a greater percentage of
higher-yielding domestic loans in the consolidated loan portfolio for the
current quarter as compared to the prior year quarter. The domestic annualized
loan yield decreased to 125% for the current quarter compared to 126% for the
prior year quarter. The decrease can be attributed to a 21% increase in domestic
pawn loan balances at June 30, 1998, over the balances at June 30, 1997. The net
addition of sixty-two domestic lending locations accounted for 12% of the
increase, while same units contributed 9% of the increase. The blended yield on
average foreign pawn loans outstanding decreased to 50% for the current quarter
from 52% in the prior year quarter. The decline in foreign loan yields resulted
from lower returns on the disposition of unredeemed collateral at auction
accompanied by a 5% increase in pawn loan balances at June 30, 1998, as compared
to June 30, 1997.

         Net revenue from the disposition of merchandise is determined by the
combination of the amount of proceeds received from the disposition of
merchandise and the average margin earned therefrom. A $4.3 million, or 10%,
increase in proceeds from the disposition of merchandise for the current quarter
over the prior year quarter contributed an increase of $1.6 million in net
revenue from the disposition of merchandise. The $1.6 million increase was
offset by $.5 million resulting from a lower margin earned upon disposition in
the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter. The net result was an
increase of $1.1 million, or 6%, in net revenue from the disposition of
merchandise. Same unit increases, which the Company believes is attributable to
stronger customer demand, accounted for $1.0 million of the $4.3 million
increase in proceeds for merchandise dispositions.


                                    Page 13


<PAGE>   16



         The margin on disposition of merchandise declined to 35.8% in the
current quarter from 36.9% during the prior year quarter. A reduced margin from
the disposition of scrap jewelry accounted for 31% of the total reduction of
margin received from disposition of merchandise. Excluding the effect of the
disposition of scrap jewelry, the margin on disposition of merchandise was 37.1%
for the current quarter compared to 38.3% in the prior year quarter due to the
Company's continued emphasis on rapid disposition of merchandise. The
merchandise turnover rate was 2.3 times compared to 2.4 times in the prior year
quarter.

         Net revenue of Mr. Payroll in the current quarter increased 46%
compared to the prior year quarter. Mr. Payroll's decision to emphasize the
development and implementation of its automated check-cashing machine, which
remains in an early growth stage, began to affect the composition of the
components of net revenue during the prior year quarter. Check-cashing royalties
and fees earned from the operations of the check-cashing machines and the owned
and franchised check-cashing centers, increased 44% and represented 95% and 96%
of net revenue in the current and prior year quarters, respectively. Gross
profit realized on check-cashing machine sales, which did not begin until the
latter stages of 1997, accounted for 1% of net revenue in the current quarter.
The change in franchise fees, which accounted for the remaining 4% of net
revenue in both periods, was negligible.

         Net revenue of $.6 million was contributed by Rent-A-Tire in the
current quarter. Prior to February 1, 1998, the Company's 49% share of earnings
or losses of Rent-A-Tire's predecessor was recorded in other expense.

         Consolidated operations and administration expenses as a percentage of
net revenue were 77.9% in the current quarter compared to 72.5% for the prior
year quarter. Total operations and administration expenses increased $6.2
million, or 21%, in the current quarter as compared to the prior year quarter.
Domestic lending operations contributed $3.3 million of the increase primarily
due to higher personnel, occupancy, and office expenses mostly attributable to
new units which accounted for $2.5 million of the domestic increase. Foreign
lending operations contributed $.3 million of the increase. Mr. Payroll
contributed $1.9 million of the increase, primarily due to increased personnel,
communications, and travel expenses related to the development and marketing of
the check-cashing machine. The expenses of Rent-A-Tire, which was not
consolidated prior to February 1, 1998, contributed $.7 million of the increase.

         Depreciation and amortization expenses as a percentage of net revenue
decreased to 9.2% in the current quarter from 9.4% in the prior year quarter.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased 11% principally due to the
effect of the increase in additional lending units.

         Net interest expense as a percentage of net revenue increased to 7.0%
in the current quarter from 6.6% in the prior year quarter. The amount increased
$.5 million, or 19%, primarily due to the effect of a higher average level of
debt related to the Company's growth, combined with a slightly higher effective
blended borrowing cost. Average debt outstanding 



                                    Page 14

<PAGE>   17



increased 17% to $168.2 million during the current quarter from $143.6 million
during the prior year quarter. The effective blended borrowing cost increased to
7.8% for the current quarter from 7.7% for the prior year quarter.

         Other expense includes $124 thousand of losses in the prior year
quarter attributable to the Company's 49% equity interest in the losses of
Express.

         The Company's consolidated effective income tax rate increased to 40%
for the current quarter from 36% for the prior year quarter primarily as a
result of a foreign dividend tax credit received in the prior year quarter
combined with the effect in the current quarter of lower pre-tax income and
higher non-deductible intangible asset amortization. The effective tax rate of
the domestic lending operations increased to 40% for the current quarter
compared to 38% for the prior year quarter primarily as a result of the benefit
of the prior year quarter foreign dividend tax credit that was partially offset
by a lower effective state income tax rate in the current quarter. The effective
tax rate of the foreign lending operations decreased to 33% for the current
quarter from 34% for the prior year quarter as a result of a rate reduction in
the United Kingdom.


SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998, COMPARED TO THE
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         Consolidated net revenue increased 11% to $95.4 million during the six
months ended June 30, 1998 (the "current period"), from $85.7 million during the
six months ended June 30, 1997 (the "prior year period"). Of the 11% increase,
6% was attributable to the net addition of sixty-four locations since June 30,
1997, 4% was attributable to gains from same unit lending operations, and 1% was
attributable to increases in the check-cashing and rental segments of the
Company.

         Net revenue from lending operations increased $8.6 million to $93.0
million during the current period from $84.4 million during the prior year
period, primarily due to a $4.8 million contribution by the lending units added
since June 30, 1997. Finance and service charges, net revenue from the
disposition of merchandise, and foreign check-cashing operations accounted for
$5.4 million, $2.9 million, and $.3 million, respectively, of the total
increase.

         Finance and service charges increased $5.4 million in the current
period as a result of a 9% increase in the average outstanding amount of pawn
loans that contributed $4.4 million to the increase and a 2% increase in the
annualized loan yield that provided the remaining $1.0 million. Same units
contributed $3.4 million of the increase in finance and service charges.

         The consolidated annualized loan yield increased to 99% in the current
period from 97% in the prior year period. The domestic annualized loan yield
increased to 128% for the current period compared to 127% for the prior year
period primarily due to higher loan 

                                    Page 15

<PAGE>   18



redemption rates. The blended yield on average foreign pawn loans outstanding
decreased to 52% for the current period from 54% in the prior year period. The
decline in foreign loan yields resulted from lower returns on the disposition of
unredeemed collateral at auction.

         An $8.3 million, or 9%, increase in proceeds from the disposition of
merchandise for the current period over the prior year period contributed an
increase of $3.0 million in net revenue from the disposition of merchandise. The
$3.0 million increase was offset by $.1 million resulting from a slightly lower
margin earned upon disposition in the current period compared to the prior year
period. The net result was an increase of $2.9 million, or 8%, in net revenue
from the disposition of merchandise. Same unit increases, which the Company
believes is attributable to stronger customer demand, accounted for $3.5 million
of the $8.3 million increase in proceeds from merchandise dispositions.

         The margin on disposition of merchandise declined to 35.9% in the
current period from 36.1% during the prior year period. The margin from the
disposition of scrap jewelry decreased $.2 million in the current period as
compared to the prior year period. Excluding the effect of the disposition of
scrap jewelry, the margin on disposition of merchandise was 37.3% for the
current period compared to 37.9% in the prior year period. The merchandise
turnover rate decreased slightly to 2.5 times from 2.6 times in the prior year
period.

         Net revenue of Mr. Payroll in the current period increased 10% compared
to the prior year period. Mr. Payroll's decision to emphasize the development
and implementation of its automated check-cashing machine began to affect the
composition of the components of net revenue in the prior year period.
Check-cashing royalties and fees earned from the operations of check-cashing
machines and owned and franchised check-cashing centers, increased 31% and
represented 93% and 78% of net revenue in the current and prior year periods,
respectively. Gross profit realized on check-cashing machine sales, which did
not begin until the latter stages of 1997, accounted for 5% of net revenue in
the current period. Franchise fees and other income accounted for 2% and 22% of
net revenue in the current period and the prior year period, respectively.

         Net revenue of $1.0 million was contributed by Rent-A-Tire in the
current period. Prior to February 1, 1998, the Company's 49% share of earnings
or losses of Rent-A-Tire's predecessor was recorded in other expense.

         Consolidated operations and administration expenses as a percentage of
net revenue were 74.1% in the current period compared to 71.4% for the prior
year period. Total operations and administration expenses increased $9.6 million
in the current period as compared to the prior year period. Domestic lending
operations contributed $4.8 million of the increase primarily due to higher
personnel, occupancy, and office expenses mostly attributable to new units which
accounted for $3.2 million of the domestic increase. Foreign lending operations
contributed $.5 million of the increase. Mr. Payroll contributed $3.2 million
primarily due to increased personnel, communications, and travel expenses
related to the development and marketing of the check-cashing machine. The
expenses of Rent-A-Tire, 

                                    Page 16

<PAGE>   19



which was not consolidated prior to February 1, 1998, contributed $1.1 million
of the increase.

         Depreciation and amortization expenses as a percentage of net revenue
decreased to 8.8% in the current period from 9.4% in prior year period.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased 4% principally due to the
effect of the increase in additional lending units.

         Net interest expense as a percentage of net revenue increased to 6.6%
in the current period from 6.5% in the prior year period. The amount increased
$.7 million, or 13%, primarily due to the effect of a higher average level of
debt outstanding to support increased growth of operations and investment in
subsidiaries. Average debt outstanding increased 10% to $161.2 million during
the current period from $146.6 million during the prior year period. The
effective blended borrowing cost increased to 7.8% for the current period from
7.6% for the prior year period.

         Other expense includes $79 thousand and $175 thousand of losses in the
current period and prior year period, respectively, attributable to the
Company's 49% equity interest in the losses of Express.

         The Company's consolidated effective income tax rate increased to 38%
for the current period from 37% for the prior year period primarily due to a
foreign dividend tax credit received in the prior year period. The effective tax
rate of the domestic lending operations remained constant at 39% for each period
since the benefit of the prior year period foreign dividend tax credit was
offset by a lower effective state income tax rate in the current period. The
effective tax rate of the foreign lending operations decreased to 33% for the
current period from 34% for the prior year period primarily due to a rate
reduction in the United Kingdom.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
         In management's opinion, the Company's cash flow and liquidity remain
strong. Cash and cash equivalents increased $4.4 million to $5.5 million at June
30, 1998, from $1.1 million at December 31, 1997. During the six months ended
June 30, 1998, $36.1 million of cash was provided by net borrowings on the
Company's bank lines of credit, $15.1 million of cash was provided by operating
activities, $1.2 million was provided by the issuance of common shares pursuant
to the Company's stock option plans, and $.9 million was provided by proceeds
from sales of property and equipment. The cash increases were partially offset
by the Company's investments of $20.9 million to acquire fifty-six new lending
locations and to repurchase 10 manned check-cashing centers, $9.6 million for
capital expenditures, $6.7 million to increase pawn loan balances, and $.1
million in advances to Express. The Company also made a scheduled payment of
$4.3 million on its 8.33% senior unsecured notes, paid $6.6 million of
obligations in connection with acquisitions, paid $.6 million in dividends, and
purchased $.2 million of treasury shares for the Company's Nonqualified Savings
Plan. The Company intends to continue to market and enhance Mr. Payroll's
automated check-cashing system and anticipates that Mr. Payroll will incur
future losses until sufficient revenues are generated from the sale and
operation of automated check-cashing machines.


                                    Page 17

<PAGE>   20

         The Company expects to continue its plan to add approximately 5 to 15
new lending units during the remainder of 1998, which would add approximately 60
to 70 units for the full year. These additions may occur through new openings or
acquisitions of existing locations.

         On January 22, 1997, the Company announced that its Board of Directors
had authorized management to purchase up to one million shares of its common
stock in the open market. During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company
made no purchases under the program. Purchases may be made from time to time in
the open market and it is expected that funding of the program will come from
operating cash flow and existing bank facilities.

         Management believes that borrowings available under its revolving
credit facilities, cash generated from operations and current working capital of
$200 million should be sufficient to meet the Company's anticipated future
capital requirements.

IMPACT OF FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATES
         The Company is subject to the risk of unexpected changes in foreign
currency rates by virtue of its operations in the United Kingdom and Sweden. The
Company's foreign assets, liabilities, and earnings are converted into U.S.
dollars for consolidation into the Company's financial statements. At June 30,
1998, the Company had recorded a cumulative other comprehensive loss of $2.1
million as a result of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Future
earnings and comparisons with prior periods reported by the Company may
fluctuate depending on applicable currency exchange rates in effect during the
periods.

COMPUTER SYSTEMS - THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE
         The Company has undertaken considerable effort to assess the actions
and resources that will be required to make its systems Year 2000 compliant. The
Company is utilizing both internal and external resources to identify, correct
or reprogram, and test systems for Year 2000 compliance. It is the Company's
belief that its proprietary pawnshop operating system is the only one of its
computer systems that presents Year 2000 issues that are likely to be material
to its ongoing business operations. The Company has completed a significant
portion of the work that it has determined will be necessary to make its
pawnshop operating system Year 2000 compliant, and it anticipates that it will
complete all of the work, including the necessary testing, by the end of 1998.
Because a number of steps remain to be performed, the Company has not yet
determined the total Year 2000 compliance expense and related potential effect
on earnings. However, the Company continues to believe, based on currently
available information, that the total expense and related potential effect on
earnings will not be material and that it will be able to manage its total Year
2000 transition without any material adverse effect on its business operations.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
         Certain portions of this report contain forward-looking statements
about the business, financial condition and prospects of the Company. The actual
results of the Company could differ materially from those indicated by the
forward-looking statements because of various risks and uncertainties including,
without limitation, changes in demand for the Company's services, changes in
competition, the ability of the Company to open new operating units in
accordance with its plans, economic conditions, real estate market fluctuations,
interest rate fluctuations, changes in the capital markets, changes in tax and
other laws and governmental rules and regulations applicable to the Company's
business, and other risks indicated in the Company's filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. These risks and uncertainties are beyond the ability of
the Company to control, and, in many cases, the Company cannot predict all of
the risks and uncertainties that could cause its actual results to differ
materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. When used in
this report, the words "believes," "estimates," "plans," "expects,"
"anticipates" and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or its
management are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

         1.       AMENDMENTS TO CREDIT AGREEMENT.

         (a)      The definition of "Applicable Law" set forth in Section 1.1 of
         the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:

                  "`Applicable Law' means, (a) in respect of any Person, all
         provisions of constitutions, statutes, rules, regulations and orders of
         governmental bodies or regulatory agencies applicable to such Person
         and its properties, including, without limiting the


<PAGE>   2



         foregoing, all orders and decrees of all courts and arbitrators in
         proceedings or actions to which the Person in question is a party, and
         (b) in respect of contracts relating to interest or finance charges
         that are made or performed in the State of Texas, `Applicable Law'
         means the laws of the United States of America, including without
         limitation 12 USC Sections 85 and 86(a), as amended from time to time,
         and any other statute of the United States of America now or at any
         time hereafter prescribing the maximum rates of interest on loans and
         extensions of credit, and the laws of the State of Texas, including,
         without limitation, Article 5069-IH, Title 79, Revised Civil Statutes
         of Texas, 1925, as amended (`Art. IH'), if applicable, and if Art. IH

         Code, as amended, shall not apply to Advances, this Agreement, the
         Notes or any other Loan Papers."

         (b) The definition of "Applicable Margin" set forth in Section 1.1 of
the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:

                  "`Applicable Margin' means, for any particular date for any
         LIBOR Advance, that rate of interest per annum equal to the rate set
         forth below opposite the Leverage Ratio which is in effect for such
         particular date:


                 Leverage Ratio                   Applicable Margin
         -------------------------------          -----------------
             Greater than 0.45 to 1                      1.00%
         Less than or equal to 0.45 to 1                 0.75%

         The Applicable Margin payable by the Borrower on the Revolving Credit
         Advances outstanding hereunder shall be adjusted on each Adjustment
         Date, according to the performance of the Borrower for the most recent
         fiscal quarter. For purposes of the foregoing, if the financial
         statements of the Borrower setting forth the Leverage Ratio are not
         received by the Administrative Agent by the date required pursuant to
         Section 5.1(a) or 5.1(b), the Applicable Margin shall be determined as
         if the Leverage Ratio is greater than 0.45 to 1 until such time as such
         financial statements are received."

         (c) The definition of "Commitment" set forth in Section 1.1 of the
Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:

                  "`Commitment' means $150,000,000, as reduced pursuant to
         Section 2.6 hereof."

<PAGE>   3

         (d) The definition of "Consolidated EBITDA" set forth in Section 1.1 of
the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (i) deleting "." at the end thereof
and inserting ";" in lieu thereof and (ii) adding the following proviso at the
end thereof:

         "provided, however, Consolidated EBITDA as determined as set forth
         immediately preceding shall be (i) increased (on a non-cumulative
         basis) to account for the acquisition of Doc Holliday's (A) for the
         four fiscal quarters ending June 30, 1998, by $4,000,000, (B) for the
         four fiscal quarters ending September 30, 1998, by $4,000,000, and (C)
         for the four fiscal quarters ending December 31, 1998, by $2,000,000,
         and (ii) adjusted to (A) include the pro forma EBITDA related to any
         operating assets acquired (other than in respect of the acquisition of
         Doc Holliday's) during any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters
         (provided that the aggregate consideration for such assets acquired in
         one transaction or a series of related transactions consisting of cash,
         property (other than capital stock of the Borrower or any of its
         Subsidiaries) and the amount of indebtedness assumed in respect of such
         acquisition is in excess of $7,500,000) and based on audited financial
         statements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
         Administrative Agent as if acquired at the beginning of such four
         fiscal quarters and (B) exclude the EBITDA related to any operating
         assets disposed of during any period of four consecutive fiscal
         quarters (provided that the aggregate consideration for such assets
         sold in one transaction or a series of related transactions consisting
         of cash, property and the amount of indebtedness assumed in respect of
         such acquisition is in excess of $7,500,000) as if disposed of at the
         beginning of such four fiscal quarters."

         (e) The definition of "Highest Lawful Rate" set forth in Section 1.1 of
the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:

                  "`Highest Lawful Rate' shall mean at the particular time in
         question the maximum rate of interest which, under Applicable Law, the
         Lenders are then permitted to charge on the Obligations. If the maximum
         rate of interest which, under Applicable Law, the Lenders are permitted
         to charge on the Obligations shall change after the date hereof, the
         Highest Lawful Rate shall be automatically increased or decreased, as
         the case may be, from time to time as of the effective time of each
         change in the Highest Lawful Rate without notice to the Borrower. For
         purposes of determining the Highest Lawful Rate under the Applicable
         Law of the State of Texas, the applicable rate ceiling shall be (a) the
         weekly rate ceiling described in and computed in accordance with the
         provisions of Art. ID.003, or (b) if the parties subsequently contract
         as allowed by Applicable Law, the quarterly ceiling or the annualized
         ceiling computed pursuant to Art. ID.008; provided, however, that at
         any time the weekly rate ceiling, the quarterly ceiling or the
         annualized ceiling shall be less than 18% per annum or more than 24%
         per annum, the provisions of Art. ID.009(a) and (b) shall control for
         purposes of such determination, as applicable."

         (f) The definition of "Maturity Date" set forth in Section 1.1 of the
Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:


                                      - 3 -

<PAGE>   4

                  "`Maturity Date' means June 30, 2003, or the earlier date of
         termination in whole of the Commitment pursuant to Section 2.6 or 7.2
         hereof."

         (g) Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is further hereby amended by
(i) deleting the defined term "Art. 1.04" therefrom and (ii) adding the defined
terms "Doc Holliday's" and "Documentation Agent" thereto in proper alphabetical
order to read as follows:

                  "`Doc Holliday's' means Doc Holliday's Pawnbrokers and
         Jewellers, Inc., a Delaware corporation."

                  "`Documentation Agent' means Wells Fargo Bank (Texas),
         National Association.

         (h) Article 4 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new
Section 4.24 thereto to read as follows:

                  "Section 4.24 Year 2000 Compliance. The Borrower has (a)
         initiated a review and assessment of the areas within its and each of
         its Subsidiaries' business and operations (including those affected by
         its material suppliers and vendors other than the Lenders) that could
         be materially adversely affected by the "Year 2000 Problem" (that is,
         the risk that computer applications used by the Borrower or any of its
         Subsidiaries (or its material suppliers and vendors other than the
         Lenders) may be unable to recognize and perform properly date-sensitive
         functions involving certain dates prior to and any date after December
         31, 1999), (b) developed a plan and timeline for addressing the Year
         2000 Problem on a timely basis, and (c) to date, implemented that plan
         substantially in accordance with that timetable. The Borrower
         reasonably believes that all computer applications (including those of
         its material suppliers and vendors other than the Lenders) that are
         material to its or any of its Subsidiaries' business and operations
         will on a timely basis be able to perform properly date-sensitive
         functions for all dates before and after January 1, 2000 (that is, be
         "Year 2000 Compliant"), except to the extent that a failure to do so
         could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect".

         (i) Section 5.14(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read
as follows:

                  "(c) Minimum Inventory Turnover. The Borrower shall not
         permit, as of the end of any fiscal quarter, the ratio of (i) cost of
         goods sold by the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries (excluding
         cost of goods sold by Mr. Payroll Corporation) for the most recent
         twelve months to (ii) the average monthly inventory of the Borrower and
         its Consolidated Subsidiaries (based on the sum of the fiscal month end
         inventory balance of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for
         the most recent thirteen fiscal months of the Borrower, divided by
         thirteen, but excluding any inventory of Mr. Payroll Corporation) to be
         less than 1.60 to 1.0. The Borrower shall not permit the inventory of
         Mr. Payroll Corporation to exceed $10,000,000 in aggregate amount."


                                      - 4 -

<PAGE>   5





         (j) Article 5 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new
Section 5.18 thereto to read as follows:

                  "Section 5.18 Year 2000 Compliance. The Borrower will promptly
         notify the Administrative Agent in the event the Borrower discovers or
         determines that any computer application (including those of its
         material suppliers and vendors other than the Lenders) that is material
         to its or any of its Subsidiaries' business and operations will not be
         Year 2000 Compliant on a timely basis, except to the extent that such
         failure could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
         Effect."
