                     Notes to Condensed Financial Statements


1.    In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
Company as of June 30, 1996, the results of operations for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,  and the statements of cash flows
for the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.  The results of
operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative
of the operating results for the full year.

2.    On February 29, 1996, the Company entered into a formal agreement with a
bank for a $16,150,000 line of credit facility.  This agreement replaces a
similar, smaller facility with the same bank and carries a three-year term with
interest rates ranging from prime plus 1/2% to prime plus 1-3/4% depending upon
level of indebtedness.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is
required to pay 1/2 of 1% per annum on the unused portion of the facility.  As
of June 30, 1996 the Company had outstanding loans under the agreement of
$9,252,335.

3.  The Company purchased 14 rental-purchase stores from a company doing
business as Easy Rentals on March 1, 1996 for cash of approximately $6.5
million.  During the three month period ended June 30, 1996, the Company
acquired 25 rental-purchase stores in twelve unrelated transactions for an
aggregate purchase price of $4.7 million including cash of  $3.5 million and
amounts held in escrow of $1.2 million.  All of the acquisitions have been
accounted for as purchases and accordingly the operating results of the acquired
stores have been included in the operating results of the company since their
acquisition dates.

    On August 31,1995, the Company purchased 15 rental-purchase stores for 
$5.95 million which was accounted for as a purchase.  The operating results 
of these acquired stores are 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 stores had been acquired at the beginning of 
each of the periods presented after including the effect of adjustments for 
amortization of intangibles and interest expense on acquisition debt.

4.  Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (SFAS 123) "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation", is effective for 1996.  As permitted by SFAS 123,
the Company has elected to continue to account for stock-based compensation
under pre-existing accounting standards.  The pro forma disclosures required
pursuant to this election for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 have
not been presented because the provisions of SFAS 123 do not apply to interim 
financial statements unless a complete set of financial statements is 
presented.

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations



GENERAL

In the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company acquired 25 rental-purchase 
stores in 12 separate transactions.  The financial results for the quarter 
since the date of each acquisition includes additional revenue of $780,000 
and additional operating profit of $90,000.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     REVENUE.  Revenue increased $6.1 million or 71.8% to $14.6 million for 
the quarter ended June 30, 1996 from $8.5 million in the comparable quarter 
in 1995.  Revenue growth from same store operations accounted for $377,600, 
or 6.2% of the increase for the quarter, and revenue from stores acquired 
subsequent to June 30, 1995 accounted for $5.7 million or 93.8% of the 
increase.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996, revenue increased $10.2 
million, or 60.4% to $27.0 million from $16.7 million for the 1995 comparable 
period.  Revenue growth from same store operations for the six month period 
ended June 30, 1996 accounted for $1.0 million, or 10.0% of the increase for 
the period, and revenue from acquired stores accounted for $9.2 million or 
90.0% of the increase.  Management believes that the increase in revenue for 
the period was primarily attributable to continued improved performance of 
the stores acquired during 1994, and the addition of revenue from the stores 
acquired during 1995 and 1996. 

     DEPRECIATION OF RENTAL MERCHANDISE.  Depreciation of rental merchandise 
increased  $1.1 million or 50.7% to $3.2 million for the quarter ended June 
30, 1996 from $2.1 million in the comparable quarter in 1995.   As a 
percentage of revenue, depreciation of rental merchandise decreased to 22.1% 
for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from  25.2%  for the comparable 
period in 1995.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996, depreciation of 
rental merchandise increased $1.6 million, or 36.5% , to $5.9 million from 
$4.3 million for the comparable period in 1995, primarily as a result of the 
change in the Company's depreciation method for new rental merchandise and 
increased revenue per item on rent.

     OTHER DIRECT STORE EXPENSES.  Other direct store expenses increased $3.8
million or 85.3% to $8.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 from $4.4
million for the same period in 1995.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996,
other direct store expenses increased $6.2 million or 68.1% to $15.3 million
from $9.1 million for the 1995 comparable period.  These increases were
primarily attributable to the additional costs incurred in connection with the
operation of the stores acquired in 1995 and 1996.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  General and administrative expenses
increased  $195,600 or 19.0% to $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1996
from $1.0 million in the comparable quarter in 1995.  For the six months ended
June 30, 1996, general and administrative expenses increased $447,000, or 22.4%,
to $2.4 million from $2.0 million for the comparable period in 1995. As a
percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased to 9.0% for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 from 11.8% for the 1995 comparable period,
primarily as a result of greater operating efficiencies achieved through the
operation of a greater number of stores and increased revenue at existing
stores.   

     AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLES.  Amortization of intangibles increased
$183,200 or 378.9% to $231,600 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 from $48,400
for the 1995 comparable period.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996,
amortization of intangibles increased $290,000 or 300.2% to $387,000 from
$97,000  for the 1995 comparable period primarily as a result of intangible
assets created by the 1995 and 1996 acquisitions.


                                     - 9 -


<PAGE>


     INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense decreased $26,100 or 14.9% to $149,100
for the quarter from $175,200 for the comparable quarter in 1995.  For the six
months ended June 30, 1996, interest expense decreased $179,000 or 49.6% to
$182,000 from $361,100 for the comparable period in 1995.  The declines are
attributable to the repayment of debt in connection with the initial public
offering in January 1996, partially offset by interest expense on additional
borrowings during the first six months of 1996.
  
     NET EARNINGS.  Net earnings increased $577,400 or 58.4% to $700,900 for the
quarter from $364,500 for the comparable quarter in 1995.  For the six months
ended June 30, 1996, net earnings increased $1.1 million or 226.4% from $503,000
for the 1995 comparable period.  As a percentage of revenue, net earnings
increased to 6.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 from 4.3% for the
comparable period in 1995.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996, net earnings
as a percentage of revenue increased to 6.1%  from 3.0% for the comparable
period in 1995. These increases are primarily attributable to improvement in
operating margins for the stores acquired in 1994 and generally high operating
margins for the stores acquired in 1995.  

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     On January 23, 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering of
stock.  In this transaction, 1,100,000 shares were offered by the Company and
700,000 shares were offered by a selling shareholder at the price of $14.00 per
share.  Net proceeds to the Company were $13.4 million.  On February 26, 1996,
the underwriters of the offering exercised part of their over-allotment option
for 219,200 shares.  Net proceeds to the Company from this transaction amounted
to $2.9 million.  A portion of the net proceeds was used to repay all
outstanding indebtedness under the loan agreement. 

     The Company's primary requirements for capital, other than those related 
to acquisitions, consist of purchasing additional rental merchandise and 
replacing rental merchandise which has been sold or is no longer suitable for 
rent. During the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, the Company 
purchased rental merchandise for aggregate amounts of approximately $9.5 
million and $4.0 million, respectively.  In addition, during the six months 
ended June 30, 1996, the Company has acquired 39 stores for an aggregate 
purchase price of $11.2 million including cash of $10.0 million and amounts 
held in escrow of $1.2 million.

     On February 29, 1996, the Company entered into a formal agreement with a 
bank for a $16.2 million  line of credit facility.  This agreement replaces a 
similar, smaller facility with the same bank and carries a three-year term 
with interest rates ranging from prime plus 1/2% to prime plus 1-3/4% 
depending upon level of indebtedness.  Under the terms of the agreement,  the 
Company is required to pay 1/2 of 1% per annum on the unused portion of the 
facility.  As of June 30, 1996, the Company had outstanding loans under the 
agreement of $9.3 million.
