additional amounts that would have been incurred in connection with the
acquisition, if the acquisition had occurred on August 1, 1997.   

(c) The acquisition pro forma adjustment to amortization expense relates to the 
additional amortization of goodwill resulting from the acquisition, as if such
acquisition was completed as of August 1, 1997.

(d) The acquisition pro forma adjustment to administrative expenses reflects a
reduction to the historical amounts paid for employee compensation by Miraglia,
Inc., and related payroll taxes, related to consolidating certain employment
positions between First Cash, Inc. and Miraglia, Inc. 

(e) The acquisition pro forma adjustments to the provision for income taxes
represent those amounts needed to reflect what First Cash, Inc.'s effective tax
rate would have been if the acquisition occurred as of August 1, 1997.

                     REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors of
   Miraglia, Inc.
		
     We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Miraglia, Inc. (the
"Company") as of May 31, 1998 and the related statements of income and retained
earnings, and cash flows for the ten months then ended.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.

     We conducted our audit 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 audit provided a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Miraglia, Inc. as of May 31,
1998 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the ten months then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                               MIRAGLIA, INC.
                      NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                      -----------------------------


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF THE COMPANY
- -----------------------------------------------

Miraglia, Inc. ("the Company") was organized June 29, 1995, and is a Subchapter
S Corporation for income tax purposes.  The Company is engaged in operating a
chain of eleven check cashing outlets in California and Washington which do
business under the name Cash & Go.  These outlets provide a wide range of
financial services including check cashing, money order sales, wire transfers
and short term lending.  The Company also owns Answers, etc., which is a
provider of computer operating systems to other third-party check cashing
businesses. 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ---------------------------------------------------

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the
preparation of these financial statements.

Principles of consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements
of the Company include the accounts of Miraglia, Inc., Vanraglia I, Inc.,
Vanraglia II, Inc., Vanraglia III, Inc. and Vanraglia IV, Inc.  All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Loans and income recognition - Consumer loans ("loans") are generally made for
periods ranging from one to fourteen days.  Service charges relating to such
loans are recognized as service charge income when the loan is made.  Bad debts
relating to such loans are recognized as bad debt expense in the period these
items are returned by the bank, and subsequent collections of bad debts are
credited to the same expense account in the period of recovery.  Revenue
associated with the sale of computer systems is recognized when installation of
such systems is substantially completed.  

Inventories - Inventories represent computer equipment held by Answers, etc.
awaiting setup and installation under existing sales contracts to third parties.
The cost of inventory is determined based upon specific identification, and is
stated at the lower of cost or market.
 
Property and equipment - Property and equipment are recorded at cost. 
Depreciation is calculated based upon accelerated methods using estimated useful
lives of five to thirty-nine years.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to
expense as incurred; renewals and betterments are charged to the appropriate
property and equipment accounts.  Upon sale or retirement of depreciable assets,
the cost and related accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts, and
the resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations in the
period retired.

Intangible assets - Intangible assets consist of the excess of purchase price
over net assets acquired and non-compete agreements.  Excess purchase price over
net assets acquired is being amortized on a straight-line basis over an
estimated useful life of forty years, and payments relative to non-compete
agreements are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

Returned checks - The Company charges operations for losses on returned checks
in the period such checks are returned, since ultimate collection of these items
is uncertain.  Recoveries on returned checks are credited in the period when the
recovery is received.

Operating expenses - Direct costs incurred in operating the stores and the
software company have been classified as operating expenses.  Operating expenses
include salaries, rent and other occupancy costs, bank charges, security costs,
net returned checks and other costs.

Income taxes - No provision for income taxes is made in the accompanying
financial statements of the Company because it is not subject to income tax due
to the fact that the Company is a subchapter S corporation for federal income
tax purposes.  The taxable income or loss and other tax attributes of the
Company's activities flow through to the shareholders and are reportable in
their respective tax returns.
 
Long lived assets -  Long-lived assets (i.e., property, plant and equipment and
intangible assets) are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the net book value of the asset may not be
recoverable.  An impairment loss would be recognized if the sum of the expected
future cash flows (undiscounted and before interest) from the use of the asset
is less than the net book value of the asset.  Generally, the  amount of the
impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value of the
assets and the estimated fair value of the related assets.  

Fair value of financial instruments - The fair value of financial instruments is
determined by reference to various market data and other valuation techniques,
as appropriate.  Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair values of financial
instruments approximate their recorded values, due primarily to their short-term
nature.

Advertising - The Company expenses the costs of advertising the first time the
advertising takes place.  

Pervasiveness 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 related revenues and expenses and disclosure of gain and loss
contingencies at the date of the financial statements.  Such estimates and
assumptions are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties which may cause
actual results to differ materially from the Company's estimates.
