 R. Feehan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cash America said, "We continued to experience strong demand for our loan products in the third quarter which allowed us to build on the positive momentum initiated during the second quarter.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2005, Cash America reported a 33% increase in income from continuing operations to $28,365,000 (94 cents per share) compared to $21,249,000 (72 cents per share) in the prior year.
