INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

Board of Directors
Camp Automotive, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Camp Automotive, Inc. as of
December 31, 1997, and the related statements of income, changes in
stockholders' equity 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 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 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 Camp Automotive, Inc., as of
December 31, 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedules of selling, general and
administrative expenses on page 19 are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The 1997
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

                                                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     NATURE OF BUSINESS - Camp Automotive, Inc. dba Camp
     Chevrolet-Subaru-BMW-Volvo (the "Company"), is a franchised automobile
     dealer in Spokane, Washington that sells, leases and services new and used
     vehicles.

     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company maintains bank accounts at several
     financial institutions which are in excess of federally insured limits.

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

     ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS - The Company establishes an allowance for
     doubtful trade and lease receivables that approximates accounts more than 
     90 days past due.  The in house contract and special finance receivables 
     are established on a contract by contract basis.

     INVENTORIES - Inventories of new automobiles, new trucks and parts are
     stated at the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market.  Used
     trucks and automobiles are priced at the lower of actual cost or current
     wholesale market.  Other inventors are generally stated at the lower of
     first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or market.

     PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION - Property is stated at cost.  The
     Company depreciates all new property, except the rental and lease 
     equipment, by accelerated methods.  Rental and lease vehicles and equipment
     are depreciated by the straight-line method.

     Vehicles purchased for lease are carried at cost, but not in excess of
     market value.  Assets repossessed from leasees are carried at the lower of
     cost or fair market value at the time of repossession.

     Major additions and betterments are charged to the property and equipment
     accounts.  Costs of maintenance and repairs which do not extend the life of
     the respective assets are expended currently.

     LEASED VEHICLES - The Company's leasing operations consist of the leasing 
     of vehicles.  The bulk of the Company's leases are classified as 
     sales-type leases.  The remaining leases are classified as operating 
     leases.  The leases have terms of up to seven years.

     INCOME TAXES - Effective January 1, 1987 the Company elected by unanimous
     consent of its stockholders to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter 
     S of the Internal Revenue Code.  Under those provisions, the Company does 
     not pay Federal corporate income tax on its taxable income.  Instead, the
     stockholders are liable for individual Federal income tax on their
     respective shares of the Company's taxable income.


                                                                             F-8

                                                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

     REVENUE RECOGNITION - Revenues from vehicle and parts sales and from 
     service operations are recognized at the time the vehicle is delivered to
     the customer or service is completed.

     The Company arranges financing for its customers' vehicle purchases and
     arranges insurance in connection therewith.  The Company receive a fee from
     the financial institution for arranging the financing and receives a
     commission for the sales of an insurance policy.  The Company is charged
     back for a portion of this fee should the customer terminate the finance or
     insurance contract before its scheduled term or before specified dates 
     under arrangements with such institutions.  Finance income represents fees 
     due to the Company from financial institutions for fees on contracts 
     arranged to finance vehicle purchases.

     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 amounts of revenues and
     expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from
     those estimates.

     ADVERTISING COSTS - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and were
     $697,030 for the year ended December 31, 1997.  Advertising expense for the
     nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, were $571,348 (unaudited) 
     and $516,747 (unaudited), respectively.

     MAJOR SUPPLIERS AND DEALERS AGREEMENTS - The Company purchases 
     substantially all of its new vehicles and inventory from automakers at the 
     prevailing prices charged by the automaker's ability or unwillingness to 
     supply the dealership with an adequate supply of popular models.  The 
     Dealer Agreements generally limit the location of the dealership and retain
     automaker approval rights over changes in dealership management and 
     ownership.  The automaker is also entitled to terminate the agreement if 
     the dealership is in material breach of the terms.

     INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - The accompanying unaudited financial
     statements for the nine ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 have been 
     prepared on substantially the same basis as the audited financial 
     statements and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
     adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information
     set forth therein.

     CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK - The Company grants credit to customers in
     the ordinary course of business.  The Company performs ongoing credit
     evaluations of its customers, and credit losses, when realized, have been
     within the range of management's expectations.  Concentration of credit 
     risk with respect to trade receivables is limited due to the large number 
     of customers comprising the Company's customer base.  Receivables arising 
     from vehicle sales are secured by related vehicles.  Receivables arising 
     from all other sales are unsecured open accounts.  As discussed in Note 14,
     the Company is contingently liable for credit losses on certain customer
     contracts placed with financial institutions on a recourse basis.


                                                                             F-9

NOTE 8 - FLOORING NOTES PAYABLE

         The flooring notes payable bear interest at prime (8.50% at December
         31, 1997), and are collateralized by substantially all of the inventory
         of new vehicles, demonstrators and driver-training units.

         In addition to the vehicle inventories pledged, the lender has a lien
         on all parts and accessories inventories and customer receivables
         resulting from sales of the above products.

NOTE 9 - SPECIAL FINANCE NOTES PAYABLE

         The Company has a $6,250,000 revolving line of credit. The line of
         credit is collateralized by land, buildings, inventory, lease vehicles
         and accounts receivable associated with the lease vehicles and in house
         contracts. This line of credit is attached to the Company's checking
         account and is reduced daily by any excess cash in the account.
         Interest is calculated daily at prime plus .75% (9.25% at December 31,
         1997 and September 30, 1998 and 1997). Excess funds are swept to this
         operating line of credit on a daily basis. This agreement is reviewed
         annually.

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited pro forma financial statements have been prepared to
present the effect of the acquisition by the Company of Camp Automotive. The pro
forma financial statements have been prepared based upon the historical
financial statements of the Company and Camp Automotive as if the acquisition
had occurred at September 30, 1998 and at the beginning of the respective
periods.

The Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet was prepared using only those assets
and liabilities of Camp Automotive that were purchased by the Company.

The Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations may not be indicative of the
results of operations that actually would have occurred if the transactions had
been in effect as of the beginning of the respective periods nor do they purport
to indicate the results of future operations of the Company. The pro forma
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K and
the audited financial statements and notes thereto for Camp Automotive included
elsewhere in this report of Form 8-K/A-1. Management believes that all
adjustments necessary to present fairly such pro forma financial statements have
been made based on the terms and structure of the transaction.
