               Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants




Board of Directors
Alrenco, Inc.


   
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Easy TV & 
Appliance Rental Stores, Inc. as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the 
related combined statements of operations, stockholder's equity and cash 
flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the 
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express 
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
    

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

   
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the combined financial position of Easy TV &
Appliance Rental Stores, Inc. as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the combined
results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                         December 31, 1995 and 1994



NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the
preparation of the accompanying combined financial statements follows.

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying combined financial statements include Easy TV & Appliance
Rental of New Orleans, Inc., Easy TV & Appliance Rental of Mobile, Inc., Easy
TV & Appliance Rental of Tampa, Inc., Easy TV & Appliance Rental of Miami,
Inc. and Easy Rental of Dallas, Inc., all of which are under common ownership
(collectively, the "Company").

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

2.  NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The Company leases household durable merchandise to customers under rental-
purchase agreements.  At December 31, 1995, the Company operated 14 stores in
4 states.

3.  RENTAL MERCHANDISE

Rental merchandise is recorded at cost.  Depreciation is provided using the
straight-line method over the Company's estimate of the useful life of its
rental merchandise, generally 18 months.

4.  RENTAL REVENUE

Merchandise is rented to customers pursuant to rental purchase agreement which
provide for weekly or monthly rental terms with nonrefundable rental payments. 
Generally, the customer has the right to acquire title either through a
purchase option or through payment of all required rentals.  Rental revenue is
recognized over the rental term.  No revenue is accrued because the customer
can cancel the rental contract at any time and the Company cannot enforce
collection for nonpayment of rents.

5.  PROPERTY ASSETS AND RELATED DEPRECIATION

   
Furniture, fixtures, equipment and vehicles are recorded at cost.  Depreciation
is computed on the straight-line method for financial statement purposes based
on the estimated useful lives as listed below.  Leasehold improvements are
amortized over the lesser of the property life or lease term.
    

<TABLE>
<S>                                              <C>
      Vehicles                                   3 to 5 years
      Furniture, fixtures and equipment          5 to 7 years
      Leasehold improvements                     5 to 31 years

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
 
6.  INCOME TAXES

Income taxes on net earnings are payable personally by the stockholder
pursuant to an election under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code not to
have the company taxed as a corporation.  As a result of the election, no
provision has been made for income taxes.

7.  CASH EQUIVALENTS 

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash equivalents include all highly
liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

8.  USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in  conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. 
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

9.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company's financial instruments consist of (1) cash and cash equivalents
and accounts payable whose carrying value approximates fair value at December
31, 1995 and (2) debt.  The carrying value of the Company's debt exceeds its
fair value at December 31, 1995 by approximately $280,000 based upon an
assumed maturity date of December 31, 1996.

                   Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements


The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet and pro forma
statement of earnings have been derived from the Company's balance sheet at
December 31, 1995 and the statement of earnings for the year ended December 31,
1995, and the combined balance sheet of Easy TV & Appliance Rental Stores, Inc.
(Easy) and combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31,
1995.  These statements give effect to the acquisition of Easy as though it had
occurred on January 1, 1995.

The unaudited pro forma condensed statement of earnings is presented for
informational purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the operating
results that actually would have occurred if the acquisition had been
consummated as of January 1, 1995, nor which may result from future operations. 
The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain
assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable.  The acquisition has been
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.  These pro forma
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial
statements and related notes of the Company included in the Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1995.
