        UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     REPUBLIC INDUSTRIES, INC., AUTONATION INCORPORATED, ED MULLINAX, INC.,
    GRUBB AUTOMOTIVE, KENDALL AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, AAA DISPOSAL SERVICE, INC.,
              YORK WASTE DISPOSAL, INC., SHAD MANAGEMENT COMPANY,
                 BANKSTON AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, JOHN LANCE COMPANY,
    VALUE RENT-A-CAR, INC., COURTESY AUTO GROUP AND SNAPPY CAR RENTAL, INC.

     The following Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma Financial
Statements present the pro forma results of operations of the Company assuming
various acquisitions, equity transactions and the October 1997 disposition of
the Company's electronic security services division had occurred as of January
1, 1996.

     The following Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma Financial
Statements include the supplemental consolidated financial statements of
Republic Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") which include the
results of operations of Silver State Disposal Service, Inc. ("Silver State")
which the Company acquired in August 1997 and De La Cruz Auto Group ("De La
Cruz") which the Company acquired in July 1997.  These transactions have been
accounted for under the pooling of interests method of accounting and,
accordingly, the Company's supplemental consolidated financial statements have
been retroactively adjusted as if the Company, Silver State and De La Cruz had
operated as one entity since inception. The supplemental consolidated financial
statements also include the results of operations of The Pierce Corporation
("Pierce") which the Company acquired in June 1997, Flemington Car and Truck
Country and certain related dealerships ("Flemington"), Spirit Rent-A-Car, Inc.
("Spirit"), Chesrown Automotive Group ("Chesrown") and Bledsoe Dodge, Inc.
("Bledsoe") which the Company acquired in May 1997, National Car Rental System,
Inc. ("National"), Maroone Automotive Group ("Maroone"), Wallace Automotive
Group ("Wallace") and Taormina Industries, Inc. ("Taormina") which the Company
acquired in February 1997 and Carlisle Motors, Inc. ("Carlisle") which the
Company acquired in January 1997.  These transactions have been accounted for
under the pooling of interests method of accounting and, accordingly, the
Company's historical consolidated financial statements have previously been
restated as if the Company, Pierce, Flemington, Spirit, Chesrown, Blesdoe,
National, Maroone, Wallace, Taormina and Carlisle had operated as one entity
since inception.

     In October 1997, the Company completed the sale of its electronic security
services division to Ameritech Corporation for cash proceeds of approximately
$610.0 million resulting in a gain of approximately $250.0 million after
income taxes to be recorded in the fourth quarter of 1997. See the Unaudited
Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma Balance Sheet as of June 30, 1997 included in
the Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 15, 1997 for the pro
forma effect of acquisitions on the Company's financial position.  

     The following Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma Statements of
Operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and for the year ended
December 31, 1996 present the pro forma results of operations of the Company as
if the acquisitions of Value Rent-A-Car, Inc. ("Value") and Courtesy Auto Group
("Courtesy") which the Company acquired in July 1997 and Snappy Car Rental, Inc.
("Snappy") which the Company acquired in August 1997, as well as the
acquisitions of AutoNation Incorporated ("AutoNation"), Ed Mullinax, Inc. and
subsidiaries ("Mullinax") and Grubb Automotive ("Grubb"), which were acquired in
January 1997; Kendall Automotive Group ("Kendall"), AAA Disposal Service, Inc.
("AAA"), York Waste Disposal, Inc. ("York"), which were acquired in February
1997; Shad Management Company ("Shad") and Bankston Automotive Group
("Bankston") which were acquired in May 1997 and the John Lance Company
("Lance") which was acquired in June 1997 had been consummated as of January 1,
1996. The pro forma results of operations exclude the results of operations of
the Company's electronic security services division as if the disposition of
such division had been consummated as of January 1, 1996. The pro forma
statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 also contains pro
forma adjustments related to certain equity transactions in 1996 and 1997 which
resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $1.1 billion (the
"Equity Transactions").  

     The unaudited pro forma 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 the unaudited pro forma
income per common and common equivalent share, the Company utilizes the treasury
stock method. Primary income per share is not presented as it does not
significantly differ from fully diluted income per share.
 
     These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma Financial Statements
should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Pro
Forma Financial Statements included under Exhibit 99 to the Registrant's Current
Report on Form 8-K dated September 15, 1997 as well as the respective historical
and supplemental consolidated or combined financial statements and notes thereto
of the Company, Silver State, De La Cruz, Pierce, Flemington, Spirit, Chesrown,
Bledsoe, AutoNation, Mullinax, Grubb, Kendall, AAA, York, Shad, Bankston, Lance,
Value, Courtesy and Snappy. These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma
Financial Statements were prepared utilizing the accounting policies of the
respective entities as outlined in their historical financial statements except
as described in the accompanying notes.  The acquisitions of AutoNation,
Mullinax, Grubb, Kendall, York, Shad, Bankston, Lance, Value, Courtesy and
Snappy have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
Accordingly, the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma Financial Statements
reflect the Company's preliminary allocations of the purchase prices of such
acquisitions which will be subject to further adjustments as the Company
finalizes the allocations of the purchase prices in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. The acquisition of AAA has been accounted for
under the pooling of interests method of accounting and, accordingly, has been
included in the Company's historical results of operations for the six months
ended June 30, 1997. Such acquisition was not material and consequently prior
period financial statements have not been restated and pro forma statements of
operations for 1995 and 1994 have not been included herein. The unaudited
condensed consolidated pro forma results of operations do not necessarily
reflect actual results which would have occurred if the acquisitions, the Equity
Transactions or the disposition had taken place on the assumed dates, nor are
they necessarily indicative of the results of future combined operations.
