Acquisitions Prenda Fácil        Pursuant to its business strategy of expanding its reach into new markets with new customers and new financial services, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cash America of Mexico, Inc., completed the Prenda Fácil acquisition in December 2008.  The Company paid an aggregate initial consideration of $90.5 million, net of cash acquired, of which $82.6 million was paid in cash, including acquisition costs of approximately $3.6 million. The remainder of the initial consideration was paid in the form of 391,236 shares of the Company's common stock with a fair value of $7.9 million as of the closing date. The Company also agreed to pay a supplemental earn-out payment in an amount based on a five times multiple of the consolidated earnings of Prenda Fácil's business as specifically defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement (generally Prenda Fácil's earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses) for the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2011, reduced by amounts previously paid.  If the calculation of the supplemental payment produces an amount that is zero or less, there would be no supplemental payment. Any earned supplemental payment is expected to be paid in cash on or before August 15, 2011 and will be accounted for as goodwill.  The Company paid post-closing acquisition costs of $0.3 million, resulting in a total of $82.9 million paid in cash for the acquisition, net of cash acquired. As further described in Note 6, the activities of Prenda Fácil are included in the results of the Company's retail services segment. Primary Innovations, LLC Pursuant to its business strategy of expanding its reach into new markets, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Primary Cash Holdings, LLC (now known as Primary Innovations, LLC, or "Primary Innovations"), on July 23, 2008, purchased substantially all the assets of Primary Business Services, Inc., Primary Finance, Inc., Primary Processing, Inc. and Primary Members Insurance Services, Inc.

The Company paid approximately $5.6 million in cash, of which approximately $4.9 million was used to repay a loan that the Company had made to PBSI, and transaction costs of approximately $0.3 million. The Company also agreed to pay up to eight supplemental earn-out payments during the four-year period after the closing. Through the end of the current period, the Company has made supplemental payments of approximately $4.8 million. The amount of the February 2010 payment and each subsequent supplemental payment is to be based on a multiple of 3.5 times the earnings attributable to Primary Innovations' business, as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement, for the twelve month period ending on the scheduled supplemental payment measurement date, reduced by amounts previously paid. The third supplemental payment of approximately $18.9 million is based on earnings through June 30, 2010 and is payable within approximately 45 days after June 30, 2010. The Company has included this amount in "Accrued supplemental acquisition payment" as of June 30, 2010. All of the supplemental payments associated with the earn-out will be accounted for as goodwill and will be payable in cash. The remaining supplemental payments will be calculated as described above based on measurement dates of each December 31 and June 30 through June 30, 2012, with each payment, if any, due approximately 45 days after the measurement date. The total of all payments to the sellers cannot exceed $50.0 million pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreement. As further described in Note 6, the activities of Primary Innovations are included in the results of the Company's e-commerce segment.Other        During the first quarter of 2010, the Company acquired three domestic retail services locations for approximately $1.9 million. 2.
