Explanation of Responses:
* On May 28, 1996, the common stock of Republic Industries, Inc. split
2-for-1, resulting in the reporting person's
acquisition of twice the number of securities owned adjusted to reflect the
stock split.
(1) Purchased by my wife in her Individual Retirement Account. I disclaim
beneficial ownership of all shares of
common stock held by my wife and this report shall not be deemed an admission
that I am the beneficial owner of
such securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other
purpose.
(2) The options have been granted pursuant to the Amended and Restated 1995
Employee Stock Option Plan and
have a term of ten years, expiring on 4/26/2006. The options are exercisable

anniversary thereafter, commencing 4/26/97, until fully
