Bridge building revisited.
Last year, we discussed the value of properly executing our business strategy and
staying on course. This past year’s record financial results serve as proof that proper
execution makes all the difference. From our Field Support Center in Fort Worth, Texas,
to our lending locations throughout the United States, the United Kingdom and Sweden,
Cash America coworkers executed our strategy with enthusiasm and precision. As we look
ahead, the continued expansion of locations, offering new services in existing locations,
integration of technological advances and an ever-increasing level of customer service will
help us build strong bridges, linking us with our customers like never before. Our objective
is to ensure that these continue to be well-traveled bridges.

ÖRESUND BRIDGE
Malmö, Sweden to
Copenhagen, Denmark
Connecting Sweden and Denmark
requires a 16 km (about 10 mile) link,
including an immersed tunnel, an
artificial island and the longest bridge in
the world. When this gracefully curved
7.8 km (about 5 mile) bridge was
completed in 1999, Sweden and
Denmark were linked for the first time
since the Ice Age. The link between
Scandinavia and the European
continent facilitates travel and trade as
an alternative to ferry boats or aircraft.
