| 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. The Plan is sponsored by Cash America International, Inc. (the “Plan Sponsor”). 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 (the “Code”). | ||
| The eligibility requirements changed effective January 1, 2006. All employees are eligible to participate on the first day of the month following 30 days of employment. Unless they elect otherwise, employees hired on or after January 1, 2006 are automatically enrolled and contribute 3% of their compensation. | ||
| Contributions | ||
| Participants may contribute a percentage of their annual compensation (up to 50%) to the Plan on a pre-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 the 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 percentage 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, 2005 was 744. | ||
| • | Stable Value Fund (Schwab Retirement Money Mutual Fund) – Funds are invested in high- quality, short-term debt securities such as bank CDs, highly-rated commercial paper, and short- |
4
| term obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. or Canadian Governments. The number of participants in this fund as of December 31, 2005 was 445. |
| • | Intermediate Bond Fund (PIMCO Total Return Institutional Shares Mutual Fund) – Funds are invested primarily in debt securities, including U.S. Government securities, corporate bonds, and mortgage-backed securities. Funds are also invested in debt securities denominated in foreign currencies. The number of participants in this fund as of December 31, 2005 was 607. | ||
| • | Mixed Investment Fund (Dodge & Cox Balanced Mutual Fund) – 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, 2005 was 822. | ||
| • | Basic Stock Fund (T. Rowe Price Equity Income Mutual Fund) – Funds are invested primarily 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, 2005 was 663. | ||
| • | Growth Stock Fund (Schwab S&P 500 Mutual Fund) – Funds are invested primarily in common stocks of companies that comprise the S&P 500 Index. The number of participants in this fund as of December 31, 2005 was 649. | ||
| • | Aggressive Growth Stock Fund (Baron Asset Mutual Fund) – Funds are invested primarily in companies with market capitalization between $100 million and $2 billion that have undervalued assets or favorable growth prospects. The number of participants in the fund as of December 31, 2005 was 641. | ||
| • | International Fund (American Beacon International Equity Fund) – Funds are invested primarily in equity securities of large-cap foreign companies. The number of participants in this fund as of December 31, 2005 was 479. | ||
| • | Large-Cap Growth Stock Fund (Credit Suisse Capital Appreciation Fund) – Funds are invested primarily in equity securities of United States companies. The number of participants in this fund as of December 31, 2005 was 387. | ||
| • | Mid/Small-Cap Value Stock Fund (Royce Low-Priced Stock Fund) – 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, 2005 was 483. |
| 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. |
5
| 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: |
| Years of Service | Vested Percentage | |
Less than 1
|
0% | |
| 1 | 20% | |
| 2 | 40% | |
| 3 | 60% | |
| 4 | 80% | |
| 5 or more | 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 5.0% to 9.0% for loans outstanding at December 31, 2005. 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. The Plan permits vested account balances not exceeding $5,000 to be paid upon termination of employment. Beginning May 2005, distributions for account balances between $1,000 and $5,000 may be rolled over to an individual retirement account or another qualified retirement account at the participant’s option. Distribution of vested account balances exceeding $5,000 may be deferred. | ||
| 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 2005 and 2004 were $36,942 and $20,209, respectively. Unallocated nonvested forfeitures of $16,262 and $3,421 are available at December 31, 2005 and 2004, 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. |
6
| 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. 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, 2005 and 2004, were as follows: |
| 2005 | 2004 | |||||||
Mutual funds: |

| During 2005 and 2004, the Plan’s investments (including realized gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as unrealized gains and losses on investments held during the period) increased (decreased) in fair value as follows: |

value of investments |
$ | (1,373,581 | ) | $ | 3,467,854 | |||
| 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 Plan offers participants the option to invest in shares of Cash America International, Inc. Common Stock (common stock of the Plan Sponsor). Therefore, this investment is considered a party-in-interest transaction. The Plan recorded purchases of $2,969,569 and sales of $3,004,450 of the Company’s stock during the year ended December 31, 2005. The Plan recorded purchases of $2,397,002 and sales of $2,143,384 of the Company’s stock during the year ended December 31, 2004. | ||
| 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 IRS 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 Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. | ||
| 6. | Reconciliation of Financial Statements to Form 5500 | |
| The following is a reconciliation of net assets available for benefits per the financial statements to amount reported on the Form 5500: |
