                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS 

To the Stockholders of 
Staluppi Automotive Group: 

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Staluppi 
Automotive Group as of December 31, 1996 and the related combined statements 
of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended December 
31, 1996. These combined 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 combined financial position of Staluppi 
Automotive Group as of December 31, 1996, and the results of its combined 
operations and its combined cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1996, 
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1. ORGANIZATION: 

The Staluppi Automotive Group (the "Combined Group" or the "Company"), 
operating in the States of New York and Florida, is engaged in the sale of 
new and used vehicles, as well as finance, insurance and service contracts 
thereon. 

The Company operates dealerships which hold franchise agreements with a 
number of automotive manufacturers. In accordance with the individual 
franchise agreement, each dealership is subject to certain rights and 
restrictions typical of the industry. The ability of the manufacturers to 
influence the operations of the dealerships, or the loss of a franchise 
agreement, could have a negative impact on the operating results of the 
Company. 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: 

Combination Policy -- Common Control 

The accompanying combined financial statements include the following 
automotive affiliated companies that are all under common control: 

    Amity Nissan of Massapequa, Ltd. 
    Amity Auto Plaza, Ltd. (d/b/a Amity Toyota) 
    Westbury Nissan, Ltd. 
    Westbury Superstore, Ltd. (Westbury Toyota)

All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. 
Amounts related to vehicle sales by entities included in the Combined Group, 
which were paid to a company controlled by a stockholder, have been included 
as a $700 increase to gross profit in these financial statements. 

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. 

Interim Financial Statements (Unaudited) 

The interim information presented as of March 31, 1997 and for the three 
month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 is unaudited, but includes all 
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which the Company 
believes to be necessary for the fair presentation of results for the periods 
presented.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (Continued)

Inventory Valuation

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined 
by the following methods: 

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                  --------------------------------- 
INVENTORY COMPONENT               VALUATION METHOD 
- --------------------------------- --------------------------------- 
<S>                               <C>
New vehicles                      Last in, first out ("LIFO") 
Used vehicles                     Specific identification 
Parts, accessories, and other     Factory list price 
</TABLE>

New vehicle and parts inventories are purchased primarily from the related 
vehicle manufacturer. 

Revenue Recognition 

Revenue is recognized by the Company when vehicles and parts are delivered to 
consumers, or when service is performed. Finance and insurance revenues are 
recognized upon the sale of the finance or insurance contracts. 

Property and Equipment 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their 
estimated useful lives, using the straight-line and accelerated methods. 
Useful lives for purposes of computing depreciation and amortization are: 

Buildings                                 --20 years 

Leasehold improvements                    --Economic life or life of the lease, 
                                            whichever is shorter. 

Machinery and equipment, furniture and    --5 to 7 years 
 fixtures, and company vehicles 

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance which increase the useful life or 
substantially increase serviceability of the asset are capitalized. All other 
expenditures are charged to expense as incurred. When equipment is sold or 
otherwise disposed, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed 
from their respective accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in 
the statement of income. 

Intangible Assets 

Intangible assets consist primarily of excess of cost over net assets 
acquired and covenants not to compete which are being amortized on a 
straight-line basis over the estimated benefit period of 40 years and five 
years, respectively. The Company periodically reviews these costs to assess 
recoverability. Losses in value, if any, are charged to operations in the 
period such losses are determined to be permanent. Amortization expense 
related to intangible assets was $95 for the year ended December 31, 1996. 
Accumulated amortization of intangible assets at December 31, 1996 was $569.

                            (Dollars in thousands)


2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:  (Continued)

The Company's policy with respect to assessing whether there has been a 
permanent impairment in the value of excess of cost over net assets is to 
compare the carrying value of a business' excess of cost over net assets with 
the anticipated undiscounted future cash flows from operating activities of 
the business. Factors considered by the Company in performing this assessment 
include current operating income, trends and other economic factors. 

Reserve for Chargeback of Finance and Insurance Income 

Provisions for chargebacks of finance and insurance income resulting from 
customer prepayments and repossessions are recorded based on management's 
estimates and historical experience. 

Long-Lived Assets 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" 
("SFAS 121") requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment 
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount 
of the asset in question may not be recoverable. SFAS 121 was adopted 1996 
and did not have an effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows 
or financial position. 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments 

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, 
accounts payable, and debt. The carrying amount of these financial 
instruments generally approximate fair value due either to length of maturity 
or existence of variable interest rates that approximate prevailing market 
rates. 

Capital Stock 

Each affiliate of the Company is an individual entity that issues stock for 
that entity only, and at different and unrelated prices. The Company as a 
single entity does not issue stock. For purposes of these financial 
statements, the capital stock activity of the individual affiliates have been 
accumulated to present combined totals. 

Income Taxes 

All the entities in the Combined Group have elected S Corporation status 
under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, they are 
generally not subject to federal and state income taxes. For income tax 
reporting purposes, all profits and losses, and certain other items, pass 
through to the stockholders of the Company, who report these items on their 
individual income tax returns.

Interest rates on the floor plan agreements are variable and increase or 
decrease based on movements in prime or LIBOR borrowing rates. 

The floor plan agreements grant a collateral interest in substantially all of 
the dealerships assets and generally require the repayment of debt after a 
vehicle's sale. 

The weighted average interest rate on floor plan borrowings was approximately 
9% for the year ended December 31, 1996.
