               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders of
  AHI International Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of AHI International Corporation
(the "Company"), an Illinois corporation, as of December 31, 1998, and the
related statements of operations and retained earnings 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 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 AHI International Corporation
as of December 31, 1998, 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, 1998

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     a.  ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

The Company, an Illinois corporation, is engaged primarily in arranging group
travel tours, principally marketed through college alumni associations. On
February 1, 1999, pursuant to a purchase agreement dated January 8, 1999, the
Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Travel Services International, Inc.
in a transaction accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The
purchase price consisted of $24.0 million in cash and 145,400 shares of common
stock of Travel Services International, Inc.

     b.  REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenues from tours and the related costs are recognized when the tour
commences. The Company prepays certain tour costs, and the recognition of such
tour costs are deferred until the tour commences. These costs include direct
mail solicitation costs, which are deferred until the tour commences.
Additionally, to the extent the Company has received customer deposits, they are
deferred until the tour commences.

     c.  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

     d.  INVESTMENTS

Investments are recorded at fair market value. Investments are comprised of a
certificate of deposit, which bears interest at 4.40%, and an investment
portfolio with Salomon Smith Barney. The investment portfolio was sold by the
Company during February 1999 at a loss of $15,006, which has been recognized in
the accompanying 1998 statement of operations in other expense.

     e.  RECEIVABLES FROM EMPLOYEES

Receivables from employees are comprised of advances on sales commissions and a
receivable from the previous owner of the Company, which was fully repaid during
February 1999. The receivables relating to advances on sales commissions are due
on demand.

     f.  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is based on estimated
useful lives and is provided on the straight-line method. The useful lives of
property and equipment for purposes of computing depreciation range from three
to five years.

     g.  OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses include sales commissions, salaries, direct mail
solicitation, communication, credit card fees and other costs associated with
the selling and processing of tour reservations.

     h.  INCOME TAXES

In 1998, the Company operated under the provisions of Chapter S of the Internal
Revenue Code, whereby its income is treated for income tax purposes
substantially as if the corporation were a partnership. Accordingly, no
provision has been made by the Company for U.S. Federal income taxes or for
state income taxes in those states which recognize the Chapter S election. The
Company is subject to the 1.5% State of Illinois replacement tax.

     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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company estimates costs
based on current foreign currency rates. Because these estimates are made well
in advance of payments to vendors, actual costs could vary significantly from
the estimates as a result of foreign currency fluctuations.

2.   PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment at December 31, 1998 is comprised of:
