Forward-Looking Statements and Information:

Certain statements contained in this release may constitute "forward- looking statements" within the meaning of federal securities laws. All statements in this release other than those relating to our historical information or current condition are forward-looking statements. For example, any statements regarding our future financial performance, our business strategy and expected developments in the payday cash advance services industry are forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the current views and expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, those views and expectations and the related statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are not under our control and may not even be predictable. Therefore, the actual results could differ materially from our expectations as of today and any future results, performance or achievements expressed directly or impliedly by the forward-looking statements. These factors include: For example, the effect the revised FDIC Payday Lending Guidance may have on the lending banks and the agency business model; federal and state governmental regulation of payday cash advance services, short-term consumer lending and related financial services businesses; current and future litigation and regulatory proceedings against us, including but not limited to those against us in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina; the possibility that we may have to permanently cease our operations in Georgia and North Carolina; the accuracy of our estimates of payday cash advance losses; our lack of product and business diversification; our relationships with the lending banks and with the banks party to our revolving credit facility; theft and employee errors; the availability of adequate financing, suitable payday cash advance centers and experienced management employees to implement our growth strategy; the fragmentation of the payday cash advance services industry and competition from various other sources, such as other payday cash advance providers, small loan providers, short-term consumer lenders, banks, savings and loans and other similar financial services entities, as well as retail businesses that offer consumer loans or other products or services similar to those offered by us; and customer demand and response to services offered at our payday cash advance centers. For a more detailed discussion of some of these factors, please refer to the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, a copy of which is available from the SEC, upon request from us, or by going to our website: www.advanceamericacash.com.

Products
Advance America provides a reliable option for consumer's immediate financial needs. In a few quick and easy steps we can help customers receive $100 or more, on the spot, providing a viable alternative to bounced check fees, late fees and long-term credit card interest.

Payday cash advances are small-denomination, unsecured advances that are typically due on the customer's next payday. Our customers are hard-working middle Americans who sometimes need extra money. We focus exclusively on payday cash advance services and do not provide check cashing, pawn lending, title lending or wire transfer or similar services. We believe our sole focus on payday cash advance services is a competitive strength that has allowed us to better reach and service our primary market of middle-income customers.
