               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



Board of Directors
BLUE RIBBON RENTALS, INC.
  AND BLUE RIBBON RENTALS II, INC.


We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet (see Note A) of Blue
Ribbon Rentals, Inc. and Blue Ribbon Rentals II, Inc. (collectively referred to
as the "Company") as of December 31, 1997, and the related combined statements
of earnings and retained earnings, and cash flows for the year then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Companies' 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 combined financial position of the Company as of
December 31, 1997, and the results of its combined operations and cash flows for
the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                            Blue Ribbon Rentals, Inc.
                                       and
                          Blue Ribbon Rentals II, Inc.

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                December 31, 1997


NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies consistently
    applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows.

    PRINCIPLES OF COMBINATION
    -------------------------

    The combined financial statements include the financial statements of Blue
    Ribbon Rentals, Inc. and the financial statements of Blue Ribbon Rentals II,
    Inc. (collectively referred to as the "Company"). The financial statements
    of the companies have been combined due to common ownership of the
    companies.

    NATURE OF BUSINESS
    ------------------

    Blue Ribbon Rentals, Inc. and Blue Ribbon Rentals II, Inc. are Ohio
    corporations which operate in the rent-to-own industry. Blue Ribbon Rentals,
    Inc. operates a chain of eight stores located in Northeast Ohio and Blue
    Ribbon Rentals II, Inc. operates a chain of seven stores located in
    Northeast Ohio and Western Pennsylvania.

    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 amount 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.

    PROPERTY HELD FOR RENT
    ----------------------

    Rental property consists of consumer durable goods such as consumer audio
    and visual products, appliances and furniture held for rent or rented in the
    normal course of business. Rental property is rented to customers pursuant
    to rental agreements which provide for either weekly or monthly rental
    payment terms. Generally, the rental agreements provide for 78 to 104 weekly
    payments or 18 to 24 monthly payments. The rental agreements provide for
    ownership of the property to pass to the customer after a stated number of
    rental payments have been made. The rental agreements may be terminated at
    any time by the customer, and, if terminated, the rental property is
    returned to the Company. The customer can elect to exercise an option to
    purchase the rental property for amounts established at the initiation of
    the rental agreement, which typically are less than the future remaining
    agreement payments.

                                       and
                          Blue Ribbon Rentals II, Inc.

               NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

                                December 31, 1997



NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

    PROPERTY HELD FOR RENT - CONTINUED

    Payments due under rental agreements in force at December 31, 1997 would
    approximate $11,000,000 if collected in full over the terms of the
    agreements.

    Property held for rent is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
    an allowance for skips, stolen and charge-offs. The Company depreciates the
    property over its estimated useful life with the property being fully
    depreciated 24 months after acquisition. For tax purposes, the Company uses
    3 years MACRS.

    PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
    ----------------------

    Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the
    straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

    INCOME TAXES
    ------------

    The Company has elected to be taxed as an S Corporation under the provisions
    of Section 1361 of the Internal Revenue Code and, therefore, is not subject
    to federal and certain state income taxes. Instead, the shareholder is taxed
    on the Company's taxable income, whether or not distributed. Accordingly, a
    provision for these income taxes is not provided in these financial
    statements.

    RENTAL REVENUE
    --------------

    Revenue from property held for rent is recognized over the terms of the
    lease period. Amounts received from the sale of property held for rent, in
    excess of the carrying value of such property, are included in rental
    income.

    STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
    -----------------------

    For purposes of the statement of cash flows, management considers all highly
    liquid investments with a maturity of less than three months to be cash
    equivalents. Cash paid for interest amounted to $68,962 for the year ended
    December 31, 1997.

                          Blue Ribbon Rentals II, Inc.
           NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               September 30, 1998

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

         NATURE OF BUSINESS
         ------------------

         Blue Ribbon Rentals, Inc. and Blue Ribbon Rentals II, Inc. are Ohio
corporations which operate in the rent-to-own industry. Blue Ribbon Rentals,
Inc. operates a chain of eight stores located in Northeast Ohio and Blue Ribbon
Rentals II, Inc. operates a chain of seven stores located in Northeast Ohio and
Western Pennsylvania.

         BASIS OF PRESENTATION
         ---------------------

         The accompanying unaudited condensed combined financial statements of
the 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 complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1998. The
unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1997.

         PRINCIPLES OF COMBINATION
         -------------------------

         The combined financial statements include the financial statements of
Blue Ribbon Rentals, Inc. and the financial statements of Blue Ribbon Rentals
II, Inc. (collectively referred to as the "Company"). The financial statements
of the companies have been combined due to common ownership of the companies.

         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 amount 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.

NOTE B - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
- -------------------------

         On March 1, 1999, substantially all the assets and operations of the
Company were sold to Rainbow Rentals, Inc.

         UNAUDITED PROFORMA CONDENSED CONSOLDIATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         The following unaudited proforma condensed financial statements of
income give effect to the acquisition by Rainbow Rentals, Inc. ( the "Company")
of substantially all the assets and operations of Blue Ribbon Rentals, Inc. and
Blue Ribbon Rentals II, Inc. ( collectively, "Blue Ribbon" ) in a transaction to
be accounted for as a purchase. The unaudited proforma condensed statements of
income are based on the consolidated statements of income of the Company for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 and the year ended December 31, 1997 and
the combined statements of earnings of Blue Ribbon for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 and the year ended December 31, 1997. The results of
operations of the Company and Blue Ribbon have been combined to give effect to
the acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 1997, the beginning of the
Company's 1997 fiscal year.

         The unaudited proforma condensed consolidated financial information is
based upon preliminary fair value allocations relative to the purchase of Blue
Ribbon. The final allocation of the purchase price may vary as additional
information is obtained, and accordingly, the ultimate allocations may differ
from the allocations used in the unaudited proforma consolidated condensed
financial statements. The proforma financial statements were prepared in
accordance with U.S. GAAP. No unaudited proforma condensed balance sheet as of
September 30, 1998 has been included because the Company's consolidated balance
sheet as of March 31, 1999, which reflects the effects of the Blue Ribbon
acquisition, has been made available in the Company's Form 10-Q, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on May 14, 1999.

         The unaudited proforma condensed consolidated financial information
presented is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have
been reported had the acquisition actually occurred on the dates indicated or
which may be obtained in the future. The proforma condensed statements of income
should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related
notes thereto of Blue Ribbon appearing in the response to Item 7 of this current
report on Form 8-K/A and the historical financial statements, related notes, and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation" of the Company for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the nine
months ended September 30, 1998, previously filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

Note 1- Proforma adjustments to the statements of income and other disclosure.

(a)  The historical combined statement of earnings information of Blue Ribbon
     has been reclassified to conform with the statement of income presentation
     used by the Company. The most significant reclassification changes involved
     separating Blue Ribbon operating expenses into the corresponding store
     expenses and general and administrative expenses components.

(b)  Reflects elimination of amounts paid to the sole shareholder of Blue Ribbon
     to reimburse income taxes paid directly by the sole shareholder relating to
     Blue Ribbon taxable income. As Blue Ribbon elected to be taxed as an S
     Corporation under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, it is not
     subject to federal and state income taxes. See proforma footnote (e) for
     the effect of recording a provision for income taxes at Blue Ribbon's
     estimated effective tax rate.

(c)  Reflects the amortization of goodwill of approximately $7.0 million over a
     20 year useful life and amortization of a $300,000 agreement not to compete
     over the contract life of five years.

(d)  Reflects interest expense on borrowings of approximately $10.4 million
     incurred in connection with the acquisition of Blue Ribbon. The Company's
     Credit Facility used to fund the acquisition bears interest at the prime
     rate. The prime rate on March 1, 1999 was 7.75 percent and this rate has
     been used for the proforma adjustment. For purposes of the proforma
     statements of income, a 1/8 percentage point change in the prime rate would
     result in an increase or decrease in income before income taxes of
     approximately $13,000 and $10,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997 and
     the nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively.

     This adjustment additionally includes the effect of eliminating net
     interest paid by Blue Ribbon to its sole shareholder of $38,613 and
     $24,556, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 1997 and the nine
     months ended September 30, 1998. The net amount due by Blue Ribbon to its
     sole shareholder on March 1, 1999 was not assumed by the Company and thus
     the interest effect will not impact the Company's results on an ongoing
     basis.

(e)  Reflects the income tax effect of proforma adjustments to income before
     income taxes as well as income taxes calculated on Blue Ribbon's historical
     income before income taxes. This adjustment based on Blue Ribbon's
     historical earnings was required given Blue Ribbon's elected S Corporation
     status under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The tax adjustment
     was calculated using an estimated combined federal and state statutory rate
     of 41.5 percent.

(f)  Historical combined financial statements of Blue Ribbon (as reclassified to
     conform with the Company's format) include general and administrative
     expenses of $1.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for the year ended
     December 31, 1997 and the nine months ended September 30, 1998. These
     expenses are primarily associated with the operation of Blue Ribbon's
     headquarters location. These operations were not acquired by the Company.
     While the Company's management cannot precisely estimate the impact of the
     Blue Ribbon acquisition on its general and administrative expenses,
     management does anticipate considerable cost savings given its ability to
     absorb additional administrative activities with its pre-acquisition home
     office structure. No proforma adjustment has been made to reflect such
     anticipated savings.
