        The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Republic Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the

regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain information
related to the Company's organization, significant accounting policies and

accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in
the opinion of management, all material adjustments (which include only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the financial position and the
results of operations for the periods presented and the disclosures herein are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Operating results for
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be
expected for a full year. These interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto.

      In order to maintain consistency and comparability between periods
presented, certain amounts have been reclassified from the previously reported

Common Stock in such transactions which will be accounted for under the pooling
of interests method of accounting. These acquisitions accounted for under the
pooling of interests method of accounting were not material in the aggregate
and, consequently, prior period financial statements were not restated for such
acquisitions.

4.  MARKETABLE SECURITIES

      Marketable securities at March 31, 1997 consist of 15.0 million common
shares of ADT Limited ("ADT") which were acquired in March 1997 upon exercise of
a warrant (the "ADT Warrant") to purchase such shares at a purchase price of $20
per share. The ADT Warrant, which was received in July 1996 upon execution of a
definitive agreement to acquire ADT, became exercisable upon termination of such
agreement in September 1996. The ADT shares are classified as available-for-sale
and are stated at fair value with unrealized gains, net of tax, reported as a
separate component of shareholders' equity. As of March 31, 1997, the cost,
unrealized gain and market value of the ADT common shares were $305.7 million,
$69.3 million and $375.0 million, respectively.

      In May 1997, the Company sold the ADT common shares to certain
institutional investors for $27.50 per share resulting in gross proceeds of
approximately $412.5 million.

      In April 1997, the Company replaced its existing $250.0 million credit
facility with a new $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the
"Credit Facility") with certain banks for a term of five years. Outstanding
advances, if any, are payable at the expiration of the five year term. The
Credit Facility requires, among other items, that the Company maintain certain
financial ratios and comply with certain financial covenants. Interest is
determined using either a competitive bid feature or a LIBOR based rate.

      In March 1997, the Company entered into a $300.0 million unsecured credit
facility with a bank. The proceeds from this facility were used to acquire 15.0
million common shares of ADT as discussed in Note 4. In April 1997, the Company
refinanced amounts borrowed under this facility with proceeds from the Credit
Facility.

11.  INCOME TAXES

      Income taxes have been provided for based upon the Company's anticipated
annual effective income tax rate.

12.  STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

      The Company has various stock option plans under which shares of Common
Stock may be granted to key employees and directors of the Company. Options
granted under the plans are non-qualified and are granted at a price equal to
the fair market value of the Common Stock at the date of grant. Generally,
options granted will have a term of ten years from the date of grant, and will
vest in increments of 25% per year over a four year period on the yearly
anniversary of the grant date.

13.  INCOME PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE

      Income per common and common equivalent share is based on the combined
weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents
outstanding which include, where appropriate, the assumed exercise or conversion
of warrants and options. In computing income per common and common equivalent
share, the Company utilizes the modified treasury stock method.

      In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" which
establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS").
This Statement replaces primary and fully diluted EPS with basic and diluted
EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is
computed similarly to fully diluted EPS pursuant to Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 15. SFAS No. 128 is effective for both interim and annual periods
ending after December 15, 1997. Earlier application is not permitted. The
Company's pro forma basic and diluted EPS computed under SFAS No. 128 are as
follows:

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      The Company's consolidated revenue increased 48% to $1.5 billion for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 due to growth in all four of the Company's
business segments. Consolidated operating income was $40.0 million and $25.8
million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Net
income was $28.9 million and $12.4 million for the three months ended March 31,
1997 and 1996, respectively. Net income per common and common equivalent share
was $.08 and $.04 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

AUTOMOTIVE RETAIL

      The Company currently operates 50 franchised automotive dealerships
granted by various vehicle manufacturers, and has contracted to acquire 54
additional franchised automotive dealerships. The Company also operates ten used
vehicle megastores under the name AutoNation USA, three used vehicle retail
outlets under the names Valu Stop(sm) or Car Stop(sm) and two vehicle
reconditioning centers.

      Revenue from the Company's automotive retail operations consists of sales
of new and used vehicles and related automotive services and products.
Automotive retail revenue was $667.3 million and $308.6 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase is a result of
the acquisitions of AutoNation, Mullinax, Grubb and Kendall during the first
quarter of 1997, all of which have been accounted for under the purchase method
of accounting. The Company has signed definitive agreements to acquire several
additional franchised automotive dealerships and currently plans to continue
this expansion for the remainder of 1997 and beyond.

      Cost of operations of the Company's automotive retail operations consists
primarily of the cost of vehicles sold, including the cost of reconditioning
used vehicles, the cost of parts and accessories and interest expense related to
vehicle inventory financing. Cost of operations was $590.2 million and $270.5
million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The
increase in aggregate dollars is due primarily to the acquisitions described
above.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of sales
salaries and commissions, marketing expenses and office salaries. Such expenses
were $68.6 million and $32.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997
and 1996, respectively. The increase in aggregate dollars is due to the
acquisitions described above. As previously discussed, AutoNation is in the
process of acquiring and/or developing numerous additional sites. As the Company
opens AutoNation stores and reconditioning centers during the remainder of 1997
and beyond, such operations will incur fixed operating and administrative costs
immediately while revenue volume will tend to grow more gradually. Consequently,
the Company anticipates it will take approximately nine months for an average
AutoNation store to generate operating income.

AUTOMOTIVE RENTAL

      Revenue from the Company's automotive rental operations consists primarily
of rental fees and sales of related rental products from the leisure and
business travel segments. Rental revenue was $606.8 million and $555.0 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase
is primarily due to higher rental volume and, to a lesser extent, increases in
average daily rental rates.

      Automotive rental operating expenses consist primarily of vehicle
depreciation, interest and lease expenses and other direct operating expenses
including personnel, insurance, fleet maintenance and rental location occupancy
costs. Such expenses were $484.8 million and $436.9 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase in aggregate dollars
is attributed to the increase in rental volume during the period.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses related to the Company's
automotive rental operations consist primarily of administrative personnel,
marketing costs and agent and tour operator commissions. Such expenses were 20%
and 22% of automotive rental revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1997
and 1996, respectively. The decrease in selling, general and administrative
expenses as percentages of rental revenue is due to lower administrative
expenses for acquired businesses and overall growth in revenue.

<PAGE>   20



SOLID WASTE SERVICES

      Revenue from the Company's solid waste services operations consists of
collection fees from residential, commercial and industrial customers and
landfill disposal fees charged to third parties. Solid waste revenue was $203.3
million and $136.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The increase is a result of acquisitions as well as the expansion
of the Company's existing business.

      Cost of solid waste services includes disposal, labor and equipment
operating costs related to waste collection operations and the cost of operating
the Company's landfills which consist of daily operating expenses, legal and
administrative costs of ongoing environmental compliance and site closure and
post-closure costs. Certain direct landfill development costs, such as
engineering, upgrading cell construction and permitting costs are capitalized
and depleted based on consumed airspace. All indirect landfill development
costs, such as executive salaries, general corporate overhead, public affairs
and other corporate services are expensed as incurred. Cost of solid waste
services was $148.0 million and $97.5 million for the three months ended March
31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase in aggregate dollars is a result
of the expansion of the Company's solid waste services operations through
acquisition and internal growth. Such expenses were 73% and 71% of solid waste
services revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The increase in cost of solid waste services as percentages of
solid waste revenue is primarily a result of certain of the Company's acquired
collection companies which had higher levels of operating costs than the
Company's historical operations.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses related to the Company's
solid waste services operations consist primarily of office salaries, supervisor
salaries and office expenses. Such expenses were $22.3 million and $17.2 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase
in aggregate dollars primarily reflects the growth of the Company's business
through acquisitions. Selling, general and administrative expenses were 11% and
13% of solid waste services revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1997
and 1996, respectively. The decrease in selling, general and administrative
expenses as percentages of solid waste services revenue is primarily due to the
reduction of administrative expenses for acquired businesses and growth in
revenue.

ELECTRONIC SECURITY SERVICES

      Revenue from the Company's electronic security services operations results
from monitoring contracts for security systems and fees charged for the sale and
installation of such systems. Electronic security revenue was $26.6 million and
$15.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The increase is principally a result of acquisitions and the installation of new
monitoring systems during the period.

      Cost of electronic security services primarily consists of the
amortization of capitalized labor and equipment associated with the sale and
installation of security systems and the cost of servicing and monitoring such
systems. Cost of electronic security services was $11.6 million and $6.1 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase
in aggregate dollars is a result of the installation of new monitoring systems
and acquisitions of subscriber accounts. Cost of electronic security services
was 44% and 40% of electronic security revenue for the three months ended March
31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. This increase is primarily a result of the
Company's expansion through the opening of additional branch offices which have
not yet reached the revenue volume of a mature branch office, yet have attained
a full level of operating costs and expenses.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses related to the Company's
electronic security services operations consist primarily of office salaries,
office expenses and marketing expenses. Such expenses were $10.6 million and
$6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The increase in aggregate dollars primarily reflects the Company's expanded
operations through the growth of its existing business. Selling, general and
administrative expenses were 40% and 42% of electronic security revenue for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The decrease is
primarily due to growth in revenue and the reduction of administrative expenses
for acquired businesses.

CORPORATE ACTIVITIES

      Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily
of office salaries for corporate employees, professional and regulatory fees,
office expenses and the cost of business travel. Such expenses were $6.3 million
and $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The increase is a result of the overall

                                      20

growth experienced by the Company.

INTEREST INCOME

      Interest income was $7.6 million and $5.0 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase is primarily due to
interest income from the proceeds of the sale of Common Stock in January 1997.

INTEREST EXPENSE

      Interest expense was incurred primarily on debt assumed in acquisitions.
Interest expense was $3.3 million and $8.4 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to the
repayment of debt assumed in acquisitions. Interest expense related to revenue
earning vehicle financing in the Company's automotive rental operations is
included in vehicle rental operating expenses. Interest expense related to
the vehicle inventory financing in the Company's automotive retail operations is
included in cost of vehicle sales.

INCOME TAXES

      Income tax expense was $17.0 million and $12.0 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The effective income tax
rate was 37% and 49% for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The decrease in the effective income tax rate for 1997 is
primarily due to varying historical effective income tax rates of acquired
businesses accounted for under the pooling of interests method of accounting.

LANDFILL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

      The Company provides for accrued landfill and environmental costs which
include landfill site closure and post-closure costs. Landfill site closure and
post-closure costs include estimated costs to be incurred for final closure of
the landfills and estimated costs for providing required post-closure monitoring
and maintenance of landfills. These costs are accrued based on consumed
airspace. The Company estimates its future cost requirements for closure and
post-closure monitoring and maintenance for its solid waste facilities based on
its interpretation of the technical standards of the EPA's Subtitle D
Regulations. These estimates do not take into account discounts for the present
value of such total estimated costs.

      Environmental costs are accrued by the Company through a charge to income
in the period such liabilities become probable and can be reasonably estimated.

      The Company periodically reassesses its methods and assumptions used to
estimate such accruals for landfill and environmental costs and adjusts such
accruals accordingly. Such factors considered are changing regulatory
requirements, the effects of inflation, changes in operating climates in regions
in which the Company's facilities are located and the expectations regarding
costs of securing environmental services.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

      At March 31, 1997, the Company had $199.2 million in cash; approximately
$4.5 billion in total debt outstanding, $3.6 billion of which was secured by
revenue earning vehicles and $233.5 million of which was borrowed under vehicle
inventory financings secured by vehicle inventories; and approximately $60.0
million of availability under its $250.0 million revolving credit facility which
may be used for general corporate purposes. In April 1997, the Company replaced
its existing $250.0 million credit facility with a new $1.0 billion unsecured
revolving credit facility. The Company believes that its financial condition is
strong and that it has sufficient operating cash flow and other financial
resources necessary to meet its anticipated capital requirements and obligations
as they come due.

      In connection with the Company's automotive rental operations, Alamo and
National, through separate special purpose entities, may issue up to $1.4
billion and $1.1 billion of commercial paper, respectively, the proceeds of
which may be used solely to purchase or finance rental fleet vehicles that are
subject to manufacturer repurchase programs or to refinance repurchase
receivables due from vehicle manufacturers under repurchase programs. National
has also issued $800.0 million of medium term notes, the proceeds of which were
used to finance rental fleet vehicles. The Company has various other credit
facilities to finance its current vehicle rental operations in Europe and other
foreign

                                      21

markets. In connection with the development of the AutoNation megastores, the
Company, through AutoNation, is the lessee under a $500.0 million operating
lease facility established to acquire and develop properties used in its
business. The Company has guaranteed the residual value of the properties under
this facility which guarantee totaled approximately $74.6 million at March 31,
1997.

Working Capital

      Working capital at March 31, 1997 was $1.4 billion as compared to $1.3
billion at December 31, 1996. The increase in working capital primarily results
from the sale of Common Stock in January 1997 in a private placement transaction
resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $552.7 million. Such
proceeds were used to repay a portion of revenue earning vehicle debt and other
debt assumed in acquisitions. The Company believes working capital may decline
during the remainder of 1997 and beyond to lower levels as additional capital is
used for the continued expansion of the Company's businesses including
acquisitions and the development of the AutoNation business.

      Revenue earning vehicles, net consist of the Company's vehicle rental
fleet, net of accumulated depreciation, and were $3.9 billion at March 31, 1997
as compared to $3.5 billion at December 31, 1996. The increase is primarily due
to seasonality of fleet requirements.

      Marketable securities at March 31, 1997 represent 15.0 million common
shares of ADT Limited ("ADT") acquired by the Company in March 1997. Such shares
were acquired pursuant to a warrant to acquire 15.0 million common shares of ADT
at $20 per share which became exercisable upon termination of the Company's
agreement to acquire ADT in September 1996. The Company financed the purchase of
the ADT shares through a $300.0 million unsecured credit facility bearing
interest at LIBOR plus 30 basis points. The Company refinanced this debt in
April 1997 upon closing the amendment to its revolving credit facility as
discussed above. In May 1997, the Company sold the ADT common shares to certain
institutional investors for $27.50 per share resulting in gross proceeds of
approximately $412.5 million.

      Advances to affiliate at December 31, 1996 of $247.5 million includes
advances made to AutoNation and accrued interest thereon pursuant to a loan
agreement whereby the Company agreed to provide a line of credit to AutoNation
for the development of new and used vehicle megastores. The Company acquired
AutoNation in January 1997 and, therefore, such advances have been eliminated in
the condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 1997.

      Inventory was $493.7 million at March 31, 1997 as compared to $185.4
million at December 31, 1996. Inventory consists primarily of retail vehicles
held for sale valued using the specific identification method. The increase is
primarily attributed to various acquisitions related to the Company's automotive
retail business completed during the first quarter of 1997 accounted for under
the purchase method of accounting.

      Accounts payable and accrued liabilities at March 31, 1997 were $565.2
million as compared to $470.7 million at December 31, 1996. The increase is
primarily attributed to various business acquisitions and expansion of the
Company's existing businesses.

      Revenue earning vehicle debt consists of the Company's obligations to
various financial institutions secured by the Company's vehicle rental fleet.
The current maturities of such debt were $2.8 billion at March 31, 1997 and $2.7
billion at December 31, 1996. The Company expects to continue to fund its
purchases of revenue earning vehicles with secured vehicle financings.

      Notes payable and current maturities of long-term debt was $577.1 million
at March 31, 1997 as compared to $184.1 million at December 31, 1996. Such
increase is primarily due to borrowings under the $300.0 unsecured credit
facility used to fund the purchase of the ADT common shares as discussed above.

Property and Equipment

      Property and equipment increased $457.3 million during the three months
ended March 31, 1997 as a result of various business acquisitions and increased
capital expenditures resulting from expansion of the Company's existing
businesses.

<PAGE>   23



Intangible Assets

      Intangible assets increased $487.0 million during the three months ended
March 31, 1997 as a result of the acquisition of various businesses accounted
for under the purchase method of accounting during the period.

Shareholders' Equity

      Shareholders' equity increased $1.1 billion during the three months ended
March 31, 1997 primarily due to the January 1997 sale of approximately 15.8
million shares of Common Stock which resulted in aggregate net proceeds of
approximately $552.7 million and the acquisition of various businesses accounted
for under the purchase method of accounting.

CASH FLOWS

      Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $100.3 million and $25.2 million
during the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The major
components of these changes are discussed below.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

      Capital additions were approximately $719.2 million and $646.4 million
during the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, which
included the purchase of revenue earning vehicles (net of sales) and property
and equipment. The increase is attributed primarily to the development of
AutoNation megastores, various business acquisitions and increased capital
expenditures resulting from expansion of the Company's existing businesses.

      In March 1997, the Company exercised its warrant to acquire 15.0 million
common shares of ADT for $20 per share. The purchase of the ADT shares was
financed through borrowings under a credit facility as discussed above.

      In addition, prior to consummation of the AutoNation acquisition, Republic
advanced an additional $50.0 million to AutoNation under the AutoNation Loan
Agreement as previously discussed.

      The Company expects capital expenditures to increase substantially during
the remainder of 1997 and in the foreseeable future due to the development of
the AutoNation business as well as continued internal growth of existing
businesses and future acquisitions. The Company intends to finance capital
expenditures through cash on hand, revolving credit facilities, lease facilities
and other financings.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

      Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March
31, 1997 and 1996 resulted from revenue earning vehicle financing, commercial
bank borrowings, repayments of debt and issuances of Common Stock. In January
1997, the Company sold 15.8 million shares of Common Stock in a private
placement transaction resulting in net proceeds of approximately $552.7 million.
Proceeds from private placements combined with cash provided by operating
activities were used to fund capital additions and the expansion of the
Company's business during the periods.

SEASONALITY

      The Company's automotive rental operations and particularly the leisure
travel segment is highly seasonal. In these operations, the third quarter, which
includes the peak summer travel months, has historically been the strongest
quarter of the year. During the peak season, the Company increases its rental
fleet and workforce to accommodate increased rental activity. As a result, any
occurrence that disrupts travel patterns during the summer period could have a
material adverse effect on the annual performance of this segment. The first
quarter for the Company's automotive rental operations is generally the weakest,
when there is limited leisure family travel and a greater potential for adverse
weather conditions. Many of the operating expenses such as rent, general
insurance and administrative personnel are fixed and cannot be reduced during
periods of decreased rental demand.
