                        Report of Independent Auditors



Board  of  Directors
E-Z  Plan,  Inc.

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  balance  sheet  of  E-Z Plan, Inc. as of
December  31,  1996,  and  the related statements of operations, stockholders'
equity,  and cash flows for the year then ended.  The financial statements are
the  responsibility  of  the  Company's  management.  Our responsibility is to
express  an  opinion  on  the  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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all  material  respects,  the financial position of E-Z Plan, Inc. at December
31,  1996,  and  the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year
then  ended  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting principles.

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                               December 31, 1996


1.    SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES

OPERATIONS

E-Z Plan, Inc. (the Company) began operations in January 1990 with the opening
of  its first used automobile retail sales facility in San Antonio, Texas.  As
of  December  31,  1996, fourteen retail sales facilities were operating under
the  names  E-Z  Motors,  Red  McCombs  Superstores, and Red McCombs Star Cars
primarily  in  the  San  Antonio  and  central  Texas  areas.   In addition to
automobile  sales, the Company provides financing to its retail customers with
terms  generally averaging 24 -36 months at annual interest rates ranging from
18%  to 26%.  The Company retains a security interest in the related vehicles.
During  1995  the  Company also served as a financing source for motor vehicle
contracts  arising  from  automobile  sales  by  affiliated  dealerships.
Consideration  paid by the Company to these dealerships for such contracts was
either  90%  of the principal financed on a non-recourse basis; or 100% of the
principal  financed  less  a  $200  fee  on  a  recourse  basis.

INCOME  RECOGNITION

The  sales  price and the related cost of the automobile are recognized in the
Company's operations at the time of sale.  Notes receivable under retail sales
contracts  arise from those sales for which the Company provides financing and
are  collateralized  by  the  titles  to the automobiles sold.  Finance charge
income  related  to  these  notes  receivable is recognized using the interest
method  over  the  term  of  the  contract.

REPOSSESSION  LOSSES

An allowance for repossession losses is maintained based on the Company's loss
experience  and  other  factors.   Upon customer default and repossession, the
remaining  net note receivable balance, less the fair value or wholesale price
of  the  automobile,  is  charged  to  the  allowance for repossession losses.

INVENTORIES

The inventories of used automobiles are stated at the lower of cost, using the
last-in,  first-out  (LIFO)  method,  or  market.   If the first-in, first-out
(FIFO)  method  of  inventory  accounting  had  been  used  by  the  Company,
inventories  would  have been approximately $1,264,000 higher than reported at
December  31,  1996.

1.    SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES  (CONTINUED)

EQUIPMENT  AND  LEASEHOLD  IMPROVEMENTS

Equipment  and  leasehold  improvements  are  stated at cost.  Depreciation on
furniture  and  equipment  and computer equipment is provided on straight-line
and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets,
which  generally  range  from three to seven years.  Amortization of leasehold
improvements  is provided on an accelerated method over the estimated lives of
the  related  assets,  which  range  from  1  to  39  years.

ADVERTISING

The  Company  expenses  advertising  costs  as  they  are  incurred.    Total
advertising  expenditures  were  approximately  $1,160,000  in  1996.

FEDERAL  INCOME  TAXES

No provision for federal income tax has been made since the Company elected to
be  treated  as an S Corporation as prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service
Code.   Under the terms of this election, the Company generally pays no income
tax  and  all  stock-holders  will  report  their  proportionate  share of the
Company's  tax  items  on  their  individual  income  tax  returns.

CASH  FLOW

For  purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.

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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
notes.    Actual  results  could  differ  from  those  estimates.

3.    BORROWINGS

Notes  payable  at  December  31,  1996  consist of five separate notes with a
remaining  balance  totaling  $13,132,959.  Three of the notes are due in 1997
and  the  other  two  are  due  in 1998.  Generally, payments are dependent on
collections  of  notes  receivable  under  retail  sales  contracts.  Based on
expected  collections,  approximately  $11,619,509 of principal repayments are
due  in  1997,  with  the  remainder  due  in  1998.  The notes carry fixed or
variable  interest  rates  of  8.75%  to 9.75% and are collateralized by notes
receivable  under  retail  sales  contracts.

                               December 31, 1996


3.    BORROWINGS  (CONTINUED)

Certain  of  the note agreements contain covenants restricting the issuance of
additional  debt  obligations  and prohibiting the payment of dividends, among
other  matters.    The note agreements also require the Company to maintain an
escrow  deposit  with  the  lenders  which  approximates  the previous month's
collections on the notes receivable that collateralize the notes payable.  The
amounts  of  these  escrow  deposits  are  disclosed as restricted cash on the
balance sheets.  A former stockholder of the Company has personally guaranteed
substantially  all  of  the  debt  obligations.

The  fair  value  of the Company's borrowings is estimated at the current rate
offered  the  Company  for  debt  of the same approximate terms.  The carrying
value  of  the  Company's  borrowings  approximates  fair  value.

4.    COMMITMENTS

The  Company leases land and facilities at each of its retail sales facilities
and its corpo-rate office under operating leases.  Rental expense for the year
ended  December  31,  1996  was  approximately  $1,061,000.    Future  lease
commitments  as  of  December  31,  1996  are  as  follows:

                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  (UNAUDITED)



NOTE  1.        BASIS  OF  PRESENTATION
                -----------------------

The  accompanying  unaudited  condensed financial statements of E-Z Plan, Inc.
(Company)  have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles  for  interim  financial  information.    Accordingly,  they do not
include  all  of  the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for a complete financial statement presentation.  In the
opinion  of  management,  such  unaudited  interim  information  reflect  all
adjustments,  consisting  only  of  normal recurring adjustments, necessary to
present  the  Company's  financial  position and results of operations for the
periods  presented.    The  results  of operations for interim periods are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year.
It  is  suggested  that  these  condensed  financial  statements  be  read  in
conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended
December  31,  1996.

NOTE  2.      ALLOWANCE FOR REPOSSESSION LOSSES AND PROVISION FOR REPOSSESSION
- --------      ----------------------------------------------------------------
LOSSES
- ------

In  anticipation  of  selling substantially all of the assets of EZ Plan (Note
3),  management revised its method of computing the allowance for repossession
losses to conform to the method used by the acquiring company.  As a result of
this  change,  the  provision  for repossession losses during the three months
ended  March  31, 1997 increased by approximately $4.0 million over the amount
computed  under  the  former  method.

NOTE  3.          SUBSEQUENT  EVENT
                  -----------------

On  April  1, 1997, the Company sold substantially all of its assets including
seven  dealerships  in  San  Antonio and a contract portfolio of approximately
$24.3  million.  The purchase price for the sale was $26.3 million, subject to
adjustment.

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

(1)        BASIS  OF  ACCOUNTING
On  April  1,  1997, Ugly Duckling Corporation ("Ugly Duckling") completed the
acquisition  of  substantially  all  of  the  net assets of EZ Plan, Inc. (the
Company  or  "EZ  Plan")   in exchange for  approximately $26,251,000 in cash.

The pro forma unaudited combined balance sheet gives effect to the acquisition
as  if  the  transaction  had  taken place on March 31, 1997 and combines Ugly
Duckling's  unaudited  March  31,  1997  condensed  consolidated balance sheet
amounts  with  EZ  Plan's  March  31,  1997  unaudited  balance sheet amounts.

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

The  pro forma unaudited combined statement of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 is presented using Ugly Duckling's unaudited consolidated
statement  of  operations  for  the three months ended March 31, 1997 combined
with  the  EZ  Plan's  unaudited  statement of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 as if the transaction had taken place on January 1, 1996.

The  pro  forma  condensed  combined  financial  statements  should be read in
conjunction  with  the  audited  consolidated  financial  statements and notes
thereto of Ugly Duckling Corporation and with the audited financial statements
and  notes  thereto  of  EZ  Plan,  Inc.

The pro forma combined statements of operations are 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 EZ Plan been
combined  during the periods 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  of  $26,251,000  for  the cash remitted to EZ Plan, as well as
reduction  for  cash,  finance  receivables,  inventory,  other  assets,  and
liabilities  not  acquired  by  Ugly  Duckling.  The common stock and retained
earnings of EZ Plan were eliminated in their entirety as a result of using the
"purchase  method"  of  accounting.

(b)     Ugly Duckling paid a total of $26,251,000 for assets with a fair value
of  $21,207,000  resulting  in  an  excess of the purchase price over the fair
value  of the net assets acquired (goodwill) of $5,044,000.  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 allowance for credit losses was increased by
$1,182,000  for  the effect of sales tax credits, which historically have been
utilized  by  EZ  Plan to reduce credit losses, that are not available to Ugly
Duckling.   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.

             of Assets Acquired                      $ 5,044,000 
                                                     ============
</TABLE>

(c)      Represents  the  payment  of $40,000 for prepaid rent for certain
locations,  the  purchase  of  lease  deposits  of $6,000, and Ugly Duckling's
assumption  of  a  property  tax  liability  of  $24,000.

(d)      Adjustment to convert EZ Plan inventory from last-in, first-out (LIFO)
to  specific  identification  basis  of  accounting.

(e)    Adjustment  to  reverse  Key  man  life  insurance expense for policies
retained  by  EZ  Plan.

(f)      Decrease in rent expense for difference in lease rates for a used car
dealership  and  an  office  building.

(g)      Amortization  of  goodwill  over  a  period  of  twenty  years.

(h)   The former stockholders of EZ Plan had provided financing to EZ Plan for
use  in  purchasing  and reconditioning its inventory and in funding operating
expenses.    No interest was charged, except for advances related to inventory
purchases.  This pro forma adjustment is to charge interest at Ugly Duckling's
average  borrowing  rate  as  if  the  entire balance of the advances from the
shareholders  had  been  charged  interest.

(i)       No provision for income taxes had been made to the EZ Plan financial
statements  since EZ Plan elected to be treated as an S Corporation for income
taxes.   Under the terms of the election, EZ Plan generally paid no income tax
as the income tax "flows through" to the former stockholders of EZ Plan.  This
pro  forma  adjustment  is  for  the  income tax effect of the earnings (loss)
before  income  taxes  of  the Company as if the EZ Plan had been consolidated
with  Ugly  Duckling  and   had been subject to corporate income taxes for the
period.

(j)   Earnings per share calculated after giving effect to payment of $916,000
in  preferred  stock  dividends  in  1996.
