Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
In April 1997, at the direction of the audit committee of the board
of directors, First Cash, Inc. (the "Company") solicited proposals from
several accounting firms to become the Company's independent
accountants, including the audit of the Company's financial statements.
As of the date of this filing, the Company is continuing to evaluate the
proposals and will file an amendment to this Form 8-K once a new
principal accountant has been engaged. On May 28, 1997, Price
Waterhouse LLP resigned as the independent accountants for the audit of
the Company's financial statements and the client-auditor relationship
between the Company and Price Waterhouse LLP ceased.
The reports of Price Waterhouse LLP on the financial statements of
the Company for each of the past two years contained no adverse opinion
or disclaimer of opinion or any qualification or modification as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the two fiscal years ending July 31, 1995 and July 31, 1996,
and during the period from August 1, 1996 through May 28, 1997, there
were no reportable events.
During the two fiscal years ending July 31, 1995 and July 31, 1996,
and during the period from August 1, 1996 through May 28, 1997, there
were no disagreements with Price Waterhouse LLP on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedure that, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
Price Waterhouse LLP, would have caused a reference to the subject
matter of the disagreement in its audit report.
The Company has provided Price Waterhouse LLP a copy of the
disclosures contained herein and requested Price Waterhouse LLP to
furnish the Company a copy of a letter from Price Waterhouse LLP to the
Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the
above statements. The Company has not received such letter from Price
Waterhouse LLP, and upon receipt of the letter will file an amendment to
this Form 8-K to include such letter as an exhibit hereto.
Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

16 -- Letter from Price Waterhouse LLP to the Securities and
Exchange Commission (to be filed by amendment).

behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
