                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The  Board  of  Directors
Seminole  Finance  Corporation:

We  have  audited  the accompanying combined balance sheet of Seminole Finance
Corporation  and  Related Companies (the Company) as of December 31, 1996, and
the related combined statements of operations, stockholder's equity (deficit),
and  cash  flows  for  the year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility  of  the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an  opinion  on  these  combined  financial  statements  based  on  our audit.

We  conducted  our  audit  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 audit provides a reasonable basis
for  our  opinion.

In  our  opinion,  the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly,  in  all material respects, the financial position of Seminole Finance
Corporation  and Related Companies as of December 31, 1996, and the results of
their  operations  and  their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity
with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.

The  accompanying  combined  financial  statements have been prepared assuming
that  the  Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 7 to
the  combined  financial statements, the Company is involved in a lawsuit that
involves  a material amount of damages that, if there were an adverse outcome,
raise  substantial  doubt  about  its  ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's  plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 7. The
combined financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result
from  the  outcome  of  this  uncertainty.

(1)    SUMMARY  OF  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES

     (a)  PRINCIPLES  OF  COMBINATION
The  combined  financial  statements  include the accounts of Seminole Finance
Corporation,  Second  Chance  Finance, Inc., Second Chance Wholesale, Inc. and
Choice  Auto  Sales  (collectively, the Company). These Companies operate used
car  retail  operations  and  a  finance  company in the state of Florida. All
significant  intercompany    balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

</TABLE>


     (c)  CASH  EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all cash and money market accounts, bank certificates of
deposits, and highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity date of
three  months  or  less  to  be  cash  equivalents.

     (d)  INCOME  RECOGNITION
Revenue  from  the  sale  of  cars is recognized upon delivery, when the sales
contract  is  signed  and  the  agreed-upon  down  payment  has been received.

Income  on  finance  receivables  is  recognized  using  the  interest method.

Unearned  finance  charges  represent the balance of finance income (interest)
remaining from the capitalization of the total interest to  be earned over the
original  term  of  the  related  installment  sales  contract.

The  Company  has elected to suspend the accrual of interest income on finance
receivables  when a loan has become delinquent generally after 90 days. If one
of  these  delinquent  receivables  becomes  current,    interest  income  is
recognized  as  if the account had not been  delinquent. Late fees are charged
on  these  accounts  and  recognized    when  collected.

<PAGE>
(e)  ALLOWANCE  FOR  CREDIT  LOSSES
The  allowance  for  credit  losses  is  primarily  provided through discounts
charged  by  Seminole  Finance Corporation when it purchases finance contracts
from  third  parties.  Additional  provisions  for  credit  losses are charged
against  income  in  amounts  sufficient  to maintain the allowance at a level
considered  adequate  to  cover  the  losses  of  the existing loans. Seminole
Finance  Corporation  charges  off loans based on a loan-by-loan review of the
receivables.  When  a  loan  is  deemed uncollectible, the Company first seeks
recovery  by  attempting  to  repossess  the  vehicle financed. If the vehicle
cannot  be  repossessed,  then  the  Company  writes  off the loan against the
allowance  account.

     (f)  INVENTORIES
Inventories  consist of used vehicles held for sale and is valued at the lower
of cost or market. Vehicle reconditioning costs are capitalized as a component
of  inventory.  The  cost  of  used  vehicles sold is determined on a specific
identification  basis.  Repossessed  vehicles  are valued at the estimated net
realizable  value.

     (g)  PROPERTY,  PLANT  AND  EQUIPMENT
Property,  plant  and  equipment  are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed
using straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of
the  assets.  Leasehold  improvements  are  amortized  using straight-line and
accelerated methods over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful
lives  of  the related improvements. Expenditures that extend the useful lives
of property and equipment are capitalized. Maintenance and repair expenditures
are  charged  to  expense  when  incurred.

     (h)  INCOME  TAXES
Each  Company,  with consent of its shareholder, elected to be treated as an S
Corporation.  As  an  S  Corporation,  the Company is generally not liable for
income  taxes  since  all income, losses and credits are passed through to the
shareholder.

     (i)  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  amount  of  revenues  and expenses during the reporting period.
Estimates  by  management  that  are  critical  to  the accompanying financial
statements  include the appropriate level of allowance for credit losses which
can  be significantly impacted by future industry, market, and economic trends
and  conditions.  Actual  results  could  differ  significantly  from  these
estimates.

     (j)  CONCENTRATION  OF  CREDIT  RISK
The  Company provides finance services in connection with used car dealerships
to  individuals  residing  primarily in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco and Polk
Counties,  Florida.

     (k)  RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain  amounts  in  the  1995  combined  financial  statements  have  been
reclassified  to  conform  with  the  1996  presentation.

a credit corporation. The note calls for interest payable at an annual rate of
30  day London Interbank Offered Rates (LIBOR) plus 3.00%. The note is secured
by  certain  assets of the Company. As of December 31, 1996, the Company had a

be  extended  through  a  one-year  automatic  renewal.  The  Company borrowed
$28,253,844  and  $46,543,517  under  this  loan  as  of December 31, 1996 and
December  31,  1995,  respectively.  (See  note  8)

In  May  1994,  the  Company  executed  a loan agreement for $2,500,000 with a
credit  corporation.  The  note calls for interest at an annual rate of 30 day
LIBOR  plus  6.75%.  The  note is secured by certain assets of the Company and
guaranteed  by  the owner of the Company. As of December 31, 1996, the Company
had  a  maximum  commitment  of $2,500,000 through May 1996, at which time the
loan  was  extended through a one-year automatic renewal. The Company borrowed
$2,500,000 under this loan as of December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995. (See
note  8)

The  Company  owes  $1,048,837  and $576,272 as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively,  on  borrowings  from  related  companies  owned  by  the  same
shareholder  as  the Company. These companies are offshore insurance companies
that are liable for the losses on the credit insurance claims that result from
insurance  policies  sold  with  the  financing contracts. These loans have no
specific  terms  for  repayment  or  interest.  (See  note  8)

On June 30, 1992, the Company purchased 50% of the office building it occupied
until  the end of 1995 from the shareholder of the Company. The shareholder of
the  Company  purchased  the office building on May 21, 1992 for $550,000. The
mortgage on the building is in the name of the Company; therefore, 100% of the
mortgage  is recorded on the books of the Company. As of December 31, 1996 and
1995,  the  balance  on  the  mortgage  payable  was  $399,000  and  $432,000,
respectively,  and  the  note  bears  interest  at  9.25%.

Aggregate  installments  of  the  mortgage  payable  are  due  as  follows:

(5)    SUBORDINATED  NOTE  PAYABLE
In  July  1996,  the  Company  executed a senior subordinated note payable for
$1,000,000. The note calls for interest payable at an annual rate of the prime
rate  plus  2.00%.  The  note  is secured by certain assets of the Company and
guaranteed  by  the  owner  of  the  Company.

(6)    LEASES
The  Company  has  several  noncancelable  operating  leases,  primarily for a
computer  system  and  office  and  warehouse  space. Rent expense under these
leases  amounted  to  approximately  $122,085  and  $888,218 in 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  Future  minimum  lease  payments  are  as  follows:

The  Company's  capital  lease  obligation  is  for computer equipment that is
recorded  at  a  cost  of  $61,520 and has been depreciated by $54,343 through
December  31,  1996.  Amortization  expense  related  to  the capital lease is
included  in  depreciation  expense on the accompanying combined statements of
operations.  The  lease  terminates  in  1997.

(7)    COMMITMENTS  AND  CONTINGENCIES

In  1996,  four  companies  that  were  former  dealers from which the Company
purchased  retail  installment contracts have filed suits and/or counterclaims
against  the  Company  and  its related companies. The dealers seek to recover
approximately $20,000,000 in damages for alleged usury and breach of contract,
and  to be indemnified for certain claims that may be made against them by the
Florida  Department of Revenue in connection with sales tax refunds previously
paid  to them. The Company has not yet responded to these claims and is in the
process  of  providing discovery information to the dealers. Management of the
Company  intends to vigorously defend itself against these claims and believes
these claims to be without merit. Because these cases are in the early stages,
it  is  not  possible  to  provide  an  evaluation  of  the  likelihood  of an
unfavorable  outcome,  nor an estimate of the amount or range of any potential
loss.  Any  unaccrued liability will not, in the opinion of management, have a
material  adverse  effect  on  the  Company's  combined  financial statements.

(8)    SUBSEQUENT  EVENTS
On  January  10,  1997,  Ugly  Duckling  Corporation  purchased  ninety-one
repossessed  vehicles and certain new and used vehicle parts from the Company.

On  January  15,  1997, Ugly Duckling Corporation purchased certain assets and
assumed certain liabilities of the Company. The Company sold substantially all
of  its  finance  receivables,  certain  inventory held for retail sale by the
seller,  and  certain  furniture, fixed assets and equipment for approximately
$32,130,000.  The  proceeds from the sale of the assets were  used to repay in
full  the  Company's  notes  payable.

     NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


                           UGLY DUCKLING CORPORATION
     NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)        BASIS  OF  ACCOUNTING

On January 15, 1997, Ugly Duckling Corporation ("Ugly Duckling") completed the
acquisition  of  substantially  all  of  the  net  assets  of Seminole Finance
Corporation and Related Companies (the Company or "Seminole")  in exchange for
approximately  $2,530,000  in  cash  and  assumption of $29,900,000 in debt as
described  in  (2)(b)  below.

The  pro  forma  unaudited combined statement of operations is presented using
Ugly  Duckling's  audited  consolidated  statement  of operations for the year
ended  December  31,  1996  combined  with  the  Company's  audited year ended
December  31,  1996 combined statement of operations as if the transaction had
taken  place  on  January  1,  1996.

The pro forma unaudited combined balance sheet gives effect to the acquisition
as  if  the transaction had taken place on December 31, 1996 and combines Ugly
Duckling's  audited  December 31, 1996 consolidated balance sheet amounts with
the  Company's  audited  December  31,  1996  combined  balance sheet amounts.

The  pro  forma  condensed  combined  financial  statements  should be read in
conjunction  with  the  consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of
Ugly Duckling Corporation and with the combined financial statements and notes
thereto  of  Seminole  Finance  Corporation  and  Related  Companies.

The  following  pro  forma combined statement of operations is not necessarily
indicative of the future results of operations of Ugly Duckling or the results
of operations which would have resulted had Ugly Duckling and the Company been
combined  during  the period presented. In addition, the pro forma results are
not  intended  to  be  a  projection  of  future  results.

(2)        PRO  FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS AND PRO FORMA
CONDENSED  COMBINED  BALANCE  SHEET

The  accompanying  pro forma adjustments reflect adjustments for the following
items:

(a)      Reduction for cash, finance receivables, inventory, other assets, and
liabilities  not acquired by Ugly Duckling.  The common stock and  accumulated
deficit  of  Seminole  were  eliminated  in their entirety as only assets were
purchased  from  Seminole,  which  continued  to  exist  as a separate entity.

(b)      Ugly Duckling and Seminole utilize the same finance company for their
respective  lines of credit.  Concurrent with the closing of the  acquisition,
the finance company increased Ugly Duckling's note payable  by $29,900,000 and
applied  a  similar  amount  against  Seminole's  note    payable.

(c)      Reduction of $2,530,000 for the cash remitted to Seminole, as well as
recognition  of  the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired
(goodwill)  in  the  amount  of  $6,096,000  and  covenant  not  to compete of
$250,000.   Ugly Duckling paid a total of $32.4 million for assets with a fair
value  of  $26.3 million resulting in an excess of the purchase price over the
fair  value  of the net assets acquired of $6.1 million.  The determination of
the  fair  value  of  the  finance  receivables  was  based upon review of the
weighted  average  yield  of  the  purchased portfolio as well as the required
allowance  for  credit  losses.   The required allowance for credit losses was
determined  utilizing  static    pool  analysis.    Property and equipment was
considered  to  have  been    purchased  at  a fair value based upon review of
estimated  replacement  costs  for  a  sample of the acquired items.  The fair
value  of  inventory  was  determined  utilizing  published listing of vehicle
values.
A  summary  of  the  allocation  of  fair  values  follows:

Duckling  to  the  Company.

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' CONSENT



The  Board  of  Directors
Ugly  Duckling  Corporation:

We consent to the inclusion of our report dated March 18, 1997 with respect to
the  combined  balance  sheet  of  Seminole  Finance  Corporation  and Related
Companies  as  of  December  31,  1996  and the related combined statements of
operations,  stockholder's equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended
December  31,  1996,  which report appears in the Form 8-K/A2 of Ugly Duckling
Corporation  dated  January  15,  1997.

Our  report  dated  March  18,  1997,  contains  an explanatory paragraph that
states:  "the  accompanying  combined  financial statements have been prepared
assuming  that  the  Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in
Note  7  to  the  combined  financial statements, the Company is involved in a
lawsuit  that  involves  a  material  amount of damages that, if there were an
adverse  outcome,  raise  substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going  concern. Management's plans in regard to this matter are also described
in  Note  7.  The combined financial statements do not include any adjustments
that  might  result  from  the  outcome  of  this  uncertainty."
