                          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.

      We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Seminole

      1995, 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

(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.

     (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.


                                                                     (Continued)

                     Notes to Combined Financial Statements




     (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.

     (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.



                                                                     (Continued)

                     Notes to Combined Financial Statements



     (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.

(4)  NOTES PAYABLE

     In May 1995, the Company amended its loan agreement for a revolving loan
     with 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 maximum commitment of $75,000,000 through May 1997, at which
     time the loan may 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)


                                                                     (Continued)

                     Notes to Combined Financial Statements




     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:

     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.

                           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.

(b)   Reduction of $2,530,000 for the cash remitted to Seminole. 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)   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. 

(d)   Represents the payment of $265,000 for one year of rent in advance for an
      office building leased from Seminole, and the elimination of the escrow
      deposit of $900,000 paid by Ugly Duckling to the Company.

(e)   Amortization of goodwill over a period of fifteen years and amortization
      of a covenant not to compete over a period of five years.

(f)   Increase in rent expense for difference in lease rates for used car
      dealerships and an office building.

(g)   Reduction in income tax expense for the income tax effect of the operating
      loss of 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/A1 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."
