5 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS To the Participants and Administrative Committee of the Cash America International, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan: In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Cash America International, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Plan") at December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held for investment purposes is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is 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. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

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. GENERAL The Plan is a contributory savings plan that becomes available to all full-time employees of Cash America International, Inc. (the "Company") who have reached the age of 21 on the first day of the month following the completion of six months of service and all part-time employees who have reached the age of 21 on the first day of the month following the completion of one year of service. Employee contributions to the Plan are voluntary. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and 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 22%) to the Plan on a before-tax basis, subject to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) limitations, which are adjusted each year to take into account any cost of living increase provided for that year. For 2000 and 1999, the IRS limitation was $10,500 and $10,000, respectively. Contributions designated by the participant are withheld by the employer and remitted directly to the trustee. 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 up to 5% of compensation. In addition, rollover contributions from other qualified plans can be added to the Plan by eligible participants. PARTICIPANTS' ACCOUNTS Each participant's account is credited with his or her contribution and allocations of (a) the Company's matching 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. 4 9 CASH AMERICA INTERNATIONAL, INC. 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INVESTMENT OPTIONS A participant may direct contributions in any combination of the following eight investment options: o CASH AMERICA INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Vesting in the remainder of their accounts is based on the number of years of service as follows: VESTING SCHEDULE
YEARS OF SERVICE VESTING PERCENTAGE Less than 1 0% 1 20% 2 40% 3 60% 4 80% 5 or more 100%
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 10.50% for loans outstanding at December 31, 2000. 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. Loans that are not repaid within 90 days of termination with the Company are considered as defaulted and recorded as a deemed distribution, which is a taxable event. Effective January 1, 2001, loan procedures were modified in response to new loan regulations issued by the IRS in 2000. See the Plan document for further information regarding the details of these changes. PAYMENT OF BENEFITS The vested portion of a participant's account becomes available upon termination of employment, retirement, total and permanent disability, death or upon reaching the age of 59-1/2. 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. 6 11 CASH AMERICA INTERNATIONAL, INC. 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FORFEITURES Forfeitures represent unvested portions of terminated participants' accounts and are used to partially offset recordkeeping, trustee and other administrative expenses of the Plan. Forfeitures for 2000 were approximately $59,000. Unallocated nonvested forfeitures of approximately $31,000 and $15,000 are available at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, to offset future administrative expenses. 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, plus accrued interest, 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. 7 12 CASH AMERICA INTERNATIONAL, INC. 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS On September 15, 1999, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 99-3, Accounting for and Reporting of Certain Defined Contribution Plan Investments and Other Disclosure Matters ("SOP 99-3") which, among other things, eliminated previous requirements for defined contribution plans to present plan investments by general type for participant-directed investment programs and to disclose participant-directed investment programs. SOP 99-3 is effective for financial statements for Plan years ending after December 15, 1999. Accordingly, the Plan has adopted SOP 99-3 and the accompanying financial statements do not include details of the Plan's participant-directed investment programs. 2. INVESTMENTS IN EXCESS OF 5% OF NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS The fair value of investments that comprised 5% or more of the net assets available for benefits at December 31, 2000 and 1999, were as follows:
2000 1999 ------------ ----------- Mutual funds: Baron Asset Mutual Fund $ 1,772,162 $ 1,657,467 Dodge & Cox Balanced Mutual Fund 1,271,580 1,193,085 Harris Associates Investment Trust Oakmark Mutual Fund -- 1,159,720 Schwab Retirement Money Mutual Fund 682,228 750,355 T. Rowe Price Equity Income Mutual Fund 1,564,800 1,578,336 Schwab S&P 500 Mutual Fund 937,059 -- Cash America International, Inc. Common Stock 1,155,853 1,916,977
These investments are subject to future changes in market prices that may make these financial instruments less valuable and result in a loss. During 2000, depreciation of the Plan's investments was as follows: Fixed income mutual funds $ (16,149) Equity mutual funds (492,703) Cash America International, Inc. common stock (1,285,456) ------------ Net depreciation in fair value of investments $(1,794,308) ============
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. 8 13 CASH AMERICA INTERNATIONAL, INC. 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS Certain plan investments are shares of Cash America International, Inc. Common Stock. Cash America International, Inc. sponsors the plan; therefore, this investment qualifies as party-in-interest transactions. The Plan recorded purchases of $831,690 and sales of $376,050 of the Company's stock during the year ended December 31, 2000. Certain plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by Charles Schwab Trust Company or its affiliates. This institution serves as trustee to the Plan and, therefore, these investments qualify as party-in-interest transactions. 5. FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS The Plan obtained a determination letter dated February 12, 1998, from the Internal Revenue Service which stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan has been amended subsequent to the date of the determination letter; however, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. 6.
