                  Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants



Board of Directors
Alrenco, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Alrenco, Inc. (an Indiana 
corporation) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of 
earnings, stockholders' 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 financial position of Alrenco, Inc. as of December 
31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for 
the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting 
principles. 

As discussed in Note A to the accompanying financial statements, the Company, 
on January 1, 1994, changed its method of accounting for investments and on 
January 1, 1995, changed its method of depreciating rental merchandise.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

   NATURE OF OPERATIONS

   The Company leases household durable goods to customers under rental-purchase
   agreements.  At December 31, 1995, the Company operated 69 stores in 12 
   states in the United States.

   RENTAL MERCHANDISE

   Rental merchandise is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable 
   value.  Depreciation is provided using the income forecasting method 
   which is intended to match as closely as practicable the recognition of 
   depreciation expense with the consumption of the rental merchandise.  
   The consumption of rental merchandise occurs during periods of rental 
   and directly coincides with the receipt of rental revenue over the 
   rental-purchase agreement period, generally 18 months.  Under the income 
   forecasting method, merchandise held for rent is not depreciated, and 
   merchandise on rent is depreciated in the proportion of rents received 
   to total rents provided in the rental contract, which is an activity 
   based method similar to the units of production method.

   Rental merchandise acquired prior to January 1, 1995 is being 
   depreciated by the straight-line method over various estimated useful 
   lives, primarily 21 months.  The range of the various estimated useful 
   lives is generally one to three years.  The Company adopted the income 
   forecasting method because management believes that it provides a more 
   systematic and rational allocation of the cost of rental merchandise to 
   operations as its useful life expires.  The effect of the change in 
   accounting method was to increase net earnings and earnings per share by 
   approximately $470,000 and $.15, respectively, for the year ended 
   December 31, 1995.

   RENTAL REVENUE

   Merchandise is leased to customers pursuant to rental-purchase 
   agreements 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. 
   A provision is made for estimated losses of rental merchandise damaged or 
   not returned by customers.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

   PROPERTY ASSETS AND RELATED DEPRECIATION
  
   Furniture, equipment and vehicles are stated at cost and depreciation is 
   provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets by the 
   straight-line method.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the 
   lease term  plus one renewal option of the applicable leases by the 
   straight-line method.

   INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND AMORTIZATION
  
   Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization 
   calculated by the straight-line method.

   INCOME TAXES
  
   The Company provides deferred taxes for temporary differences between 
   the tax and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities at the 
   rate expected to be in effect when taxes become payable or receivable.

   INVESTMENTS

   On January 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial 
   Accounting Standard No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt 
   and Equity Securities (SFAS 115).  SFAS 115 requires companies to 
   classify investments in marketable securities and in all debt securities 
   as trading securities, available-for-sale securities, or 
   held-to-maturity securities.  The Statement requires trading securities 
   and available-for-sale securities to be carried at fair value, with 
   unrealized holding gains and losses of trading securities included in 
   the determination of net earnings and unrealized holding gains and 
   losses of available-for-sale securities included in equity.  
   Held-to-maturity securities are to be carried at amortized cost.  The 
   Company's designates all of its securities, which consist entirely of 
   equity securities, as available-for-sale securities.  For years prior to 
   January 1, 1994, the Company carried investment securities at the lower 
   of aggregate cost or market value.

   CASH EQUIVALENTS

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

                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED


NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

   EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

   Earnings per common share is based upon the weighted average number of 
   common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during each 
   period presented.  Common share equivalents for all periods include 
   restricted stock awards of 105,000 shares.  Weighted average shares are 
   3,105,000 for all periods presented.  Such shares have been 
   retroactively restated to reflect a 30,000-for-1 stock split effective 
   November 8, 1995.

   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.

   FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

   The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable 
   and debt whose carrying value approximates fair value at December 31, 
   1995 and 1994.

NOTE B - ACQUISITIONS
   
   The Company purchased 18 rent-to-own stores from a company doing 
   business as Magic Rent To Own ("Magic") on June 30, 1994 for cash of 
   approximately $3.5 million.  The acquisition was accounted for as a 
   purchase and, accordingly, the operating results of the acquired stores 
   have been included in the operating results of the Company since June 30,
   1994.

   The Company purchased 15 rent-to-own stores from a company doing 
   business as The Television Management Companies ("TVM") on August 31, 
   1995 for cash of approximately $5.95 million.  The acquisition was 
   accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the operating results of 
   the acquired stores have been included in the operating results of the 
   Company since August 31, 1995.

   The following summary, prepared on a pro forma basis, combines the 
   results of operations as if the Magic stores and the TVM stores had been 
   acquired at the beginning of each of the following years, after 
   including the effect of adjustments for amortization of intangibles, 
   depreciation, compensation and interest expense on the acquisition debt.

   Customer rental agreements represent the fair value of open 
   customer contracts of acquired stores at acquisition date and are 
   amortized straight-line over the approximate average stated term of the 
   customer contract, 15 months.  The noncompete agreements are amortized on 
   the straight-line method over the life of the respective agreement.  
   Goodwill is amortized by the straight-line method over 20 years.  The 
   Company reviews goodwill periodically to assess recoverability.  
   Impairment is recognized in operating results when expected future 
   undiscounted operating cash flows of the acquired businesses are less 
   than the carrying value of the related goodwill.

NOTE G - DEBT

   Debt consists of a revolving loan payable to a bank with interest at the 
   bank's prime rate (8.75% at December 31, 1995) plus 1.75% for amounts up 
   to $6,500,000 and 2% for additional amounts.  The loan matures on 
   September 1, 1997.

   The line provides for maximum borrowings of the lesser of:  (a) the 
   immediate three month average monthly rental contract revenues multiplied 
   by the monthly revenue multiplier (3.75 at December 31, 1995) or (b) the 
   maximum amount available under the term of the loan ($13,500,000 at 
   December 31, 1995).  The monthly revenue multiplier reduces quarterly by 
   .25 until maturity and the maximum amount available under the loan 
   reduces each quarter beginning June 1996 through March 1997 by $875,000.  
   The remaining balance is due at maturity.  The borrowings are 
   collateralized by all of the Company's assets and the personal guarantees 
   of the majority stockholder and his spouse.  The weighted average 
   interest rate was 11.3% and 10.4% for the years ended December 31, 1995 
   and 1994, respectively.

   The loan agreement contains restrictive covenants which include, among 
   others, earnings and tangible net worth requirements; limitations on 
   liabilities and capital expenditures; and ratios concerning interest 
   expense coverage and rental merchandise, and restrictions on the payment 
   of dividends.

   The Company is defendant in various lawsuits arising in the normal course 
   of business.  In the opinion of management, based upon the advice of 
   counsel, the ultimate outcome of these lawsuits will not have a material 
   impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.  In 
   1993, the Company settled a class action lawsuit for $625,000 filed by 
   seventeen of its former employees for alleged discrimination.   The 
   settlement was paid in 1994.

   The tax returns of the Company are currently under examination by the 
   Internal Revenue Service (IRS).  In addition, the IRS has issued a 
   revenue ruling which could impact the manner in which the Company 
   depreciates its rental merchandise for income tax purposes.  Management 
   believes that no additional provision will be required for any liability 
   that may arise from prior periods and the revenue ruling will not have a 
   material effect on the financial condition or results of operations of 
   the Company.

NOTE L - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS


   In 1990, the Company established individual deferred compensation plans 
   with six key executives. Effective September 30, 1995, the Company and 
   the executives rescinded the plans.  Despite the rescission, the Company 
   agreed to compensate the executives for amounts accrued under the plans 
   through September 30, 1995.  Compensation recognized under the plans was 
   $119,603, $75,658 and $137,438, respectively, for each of the three years 
   in the period ended December 31, 1995.

NOTE L - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS - Continued

   On November 8, 1995, the Company approved a stock incentive plan (the 
   Plan) under which 450,000 common shares were reserved.  Under the Plan, 
   the Company may grant its employees incentive stock options or 
   nonqualified stock options to purchase a specified number of shares of 
   common stock at a price not less than fair market value on the date of 
   grant and for a term not to exceed 10 years.  In addition to the stock 
   options, the Company may grant stock appreciation rights (SAR), 
   restricted stock awards and options to nonemployee directors.  SARs and 
   options to nonemployee directors must be granted at a minimum of fair 
   market value at the date of grant and restricted stock awards at a price 
   to be determined by the Board of Directors' compensation committee.  
   Nonemployee directors are initially entitled to a grant of 5,000 shares 
   and on each of the next five anniversaries an automatic 1,000 share 
   grant.  At the completion of the Company's initial public offering in 
   January 1996, the Company granted 105,000 shares of restricted stock to 
   two key employees which vest at the end of seven years and issued of 
   101,247 stock options to directors and employees under the stock 
   incentive plan.  The exercise price of these options is the price to the 
   public of the stock at the effective date of the offering.  70,347 of 
   these options are exercisable immediately and the remainder vest over one 
   to two years.

NOTE M - INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

   In January 1996, the Company completed a public offering of 1,800,000 
   shares of common stock at $14 per share.  The net proceeds to the Company 
   relating to 1,100,000 shares (700,000 were sold by a shareholder) after 
   underwriting commissions and expenses were approximately $13.3 million 
   and were used to retire debt of approximately $12.9 million.

   Supplementary earnings per common share were $.50 for the year ended 
   December 31, 1995.  Supplementary earnings per share are calculated 
   assuming the retirement of debt with the proceeds of the offering of 
   common stock as if it had occurred on January 1, 1995.  The weighted 
   average shares outstanding used for this calculation were 4,088,179 for 
   the year ended December 31, 1995.
