Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
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 statements of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of Cash America International, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”) at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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, 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 at end of year) as of December 31, 2003 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.

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. | ||||
| 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 50%) 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. 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. | ||||
| Participant 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. |
||||
| Investment Options A participant may direct contributions in any combination of the following ten investment options: |
||||
| • | Cash America International, Inc. Common Stock Fund – Funds are invested primarily in shares of Cash America International, Inc. common stock. The number of participants in this fund as of December 31, 2003 is 450. | |||
| • | Stable Value Fund (Schwab Retirement Money) – Funds are invested in high quality, short-term debt securities such as bank CDs, highly rated commercial paper, and short-term obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. or Canadian Governments. The number of participants in this fund as of December 31, 2003 is 318. | |||

Cash America International, Inc.
401(k) Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
| • | Intermediate Bond Fund (PIMCO Total Return Institutional Shares) – Funds are invested primarily in debt securities, including U.S. Government securities, corporate bonds, and mortgage-related securities. Funds are also invested in debt securities denominated in foreign currencies. The number of participants in this fund as of December 31, 2003 is 351. | |||
| • | Mixed Investment Fund (Dodge & Cox Balanced) – Funds are invested primarily in common stocks and convertible securities. Funds are also invested in investment-grade debt securities. The number of participants in this fund as of December 31, 2003 is 476. | |||
| • | Basic Stock Fund (T. Rowe Price Equity Income) – Funds are primarily invested in income-producing common stocks. Funds are also invested in fixed-income and foreign securities. The number of participants in this fund as of December 31, 2003 is 391. | |||
| • | Growth Stock Fund (Schwab S&P 500 ) – Funds are primarily invested in common stocks of companies that comprise the S&P 500 Index. The number of participants in this fund as of December 31, 2003 is 403. | |||
| • | Aggressive Growth Stock Fund (Baron Asset) – Funds are primarily invested in companies with market capitalization between $100 million and $2 billion that have undervalued assets or favorable growth prospects. The number of participants in this fund as of December 31, 2003 is 388. | |||
| • | International Fund (Scudder International Equity) (formerly Deutsche International Equity) – Funds are primarily invested in stocks and debt securities of companies and governments outside the United States. The number of participants in this fund as of December 31, 2003 is 208. | |||
| • | Large-Cap Growth Stock Fund (Credit Suisse Capital Appreciation) – Funds are primarily invested in equity securities of United States companies. The number of participants in this fund as of December 31, 2003 is 139. | |||
| • | Mid/Small-Cap Value Stock Fund (Royce Low-Priced Stock) – Funds are invested primarily in small and micro-cap companies trading at less than $20 per share at the time of investment. The number of participants in this fund as of December 31, 2003 is 181. | |||
| The allocation of a participant’s contributions among investment funds is determined by the participant and may be changed at any time. These investment options are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with these investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of such investments will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits. |

| 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: |

100 | % | ||
| Participant Loans 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 Loan 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 5% to 10.5% for loans outstanding at December 31, 2003. 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 for the participant. | ||||
| 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. |
||||
| 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 2003 and 2002 were approximately $21,000 and $40,000, respectively. Unallocated nonvested forfeitures of approximately $772 and $6,000 are available at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, to offset future administrative expenses. |
||||
| Basis of Accounting The financial statements of the Plan are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. |

Notes to Financial Statements
| 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 loans are valued at original loan value, plus accrued interest, less principal repayments, which approximates fair value. The Plan presents, in the statements 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, which are charged directly to the borrowing participant’s account, 2) forfeitures, 3) the Company, and 4) participants. Amounts paid by the Company are not reflected in the Plan’s financial statements. |
||||
| Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the plan administrator to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits at the date of the financial statements and the changes in net assets available for benefits during the reporting periods and, when applicable, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. |
||||
| 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, 2003 and 2002, were as follows: | ||||

$ | 4,625,352 | $ | (858,502 | ) | |||
| 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 | |||
| Certain plan investments are shares of Cash America International, Inc. Common Stock. Cash America International, Inc. sponsors the plan; therefore, this investment is considered a party-in-interest transaction. The Plan recorded purchases of $1,038,612 and sales of $1,398,648 of the Company’s stock during the year ended December 31, 2003. The Plan recorded purchases of $610,068 and sales of $709,805 of the Company’s stock during the year ended December 31, 2002. | ||||
| 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 October 6, 2003, 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. | ||||
