                               ----------------
 
  This Prospectus relates to 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value
per share (the "Common Stock"), of Carey International, Inc. (the "Company")
that may be offered and issued by the Company from time to time in connection
with acquisitions of other businesses or properties by the Company.
 
  Carey intends to concentrate its acquisitions within the chauffeured vehicle
service industry. If the opportunity arises, however, Carey may attempt to
make acquisitions that are either complementary to its present operations or
which it considers advantageous even though they may be dissimilar to its
present activities. The consideration for any such acquisition may consist of
shares of Common Stock, cash, notes or other evidences of debt, assumptions of
liabilities or a combination thereof, as determined from time to time by
negotiations between Carey and the owners or controlling persons of businesses
or properties to be acquired.
 
  The shares covered by this Prospectus may be issued in exchange for shares
of capital stock, partnership interests or other assets representing an
interest, direct or indirect, in other companies or other entities, in
exchange for assets used in or related to the business of such companies or
entities, or otherwise pursuant to the agreements providing for such
acquisitions. The terms of such acquisitions and of the issuance of shares of
Common Stock under acquisition agreements will generally be determined by
direct negotiations with the owners or controlling persons of the businesses
or properties to be acquired or, in the case of entities that are more widely
held, through exchange offers to stockholders or documents soliciting the
approval of statutory mergers, consolidations or sales of assets. It is
anticipated that the shares of Common Stock issued in any such acquisition
will be valued at a price reasonably related to the market value of the Common
Stock either at the time of agreement on the terms of an acquisition or at or
about the time of delivery of the shares.
 
  It is not expected that underwriting discounts or commissions will be paid
by the Company in connection with issuances of shares of Common Stock under
this Prospectus. However, finders' fees or brokers' commissions may be paid
from time to time in connection with specific acquisitions, and such fees may
be paid through the issuance of shares of Common Stock covered by this
Prospectus. Any person receiving such a fee may be deemed to be an underwriter
within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act").
   
  The Company's Common Stock is listed on The Nasdaq National Market under the
symbol "CARY." The closing market price of the Common Stock on The Nasdaq
National Market on September 9, 1997 was $14.00.

                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
  The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed
information and financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing
elsewhere in this Prospectus.
 
                                  THE COMPANY
 
  Carey International, Inc. ("Carey" or the "Company") is one of the world's
largest chauffeured vehicle service companies, providing services through a
worldwide network of owned and operated companies, licensees and affiliates
serving 420 cities in 65 countries. The "Carey" brand name has represented
quality chauffeured vehicle service since the 1920s. The Company owns and
operates its service providers in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, London,
Washington D.C., South Florida and Philadelphia. In addition, the Company
generates revenues from licensing the "Carey" name and providing central
reservation, billing and sales and marketing services to its licensees. The
Company's worldwide network also includes affiliates in locations in which the
Company has neither owned and operated companies nor licensees. Over the past
five years, the Company has invested significant capital in developing its
reservation, central billing and worldwide service infrastructure. By
leveraging its current infrastructure and position as a market leader, the
Company intends to consolidate the highly fragmented chauffeured vehicle
service industry through the acquisition of: (i) current Carey licensees, (ii)
additional companies in markets in which the Company already owns and operates
a chauffeured vehicle service company, and (iii) companies in other strategic
markets in North America, Europe and the Pacific rim of Asia.
 
  The Carey network utilizes chauffeured sedans, limousines, vans and minibuses
to provide services for airport pick-ups and drop-offs, inter-office transfers,
business and association meetings, conventions, roadshows, promotional tours,
special events, incentive travel and leisure travel. Businesses and business
travelers utilize the Company's services primarily as a management tool, to
achieve more efficient use of time and other resources.
 
  Carey's worldwide network of chauffeured vehicle service companies allows it
to provide services with consistently high quality to its customers in
virtually every major city in the expanding global travel market. The network
is linked to over 300,000 reservation terminals in travel agencies, corporate
travel departments and government offices by the Carey International
Reservation System (the "CIRS"), the chauffeured vehicle service industry's
most extensive centralized global reservation system.
 
  The  Company estimates that the United States chauffeured vehicle service
industry generated revenues of approximately $3.9 billion in 1996, and has
undergone steady growth in recent years, with revenues increasing at a compound
annual growth rate of 10.9% between 1990 and 1996. The industry is highly
fragmented, with approximately 9,000 companies utilizing over 100,000 vehicles.
The Company believes that during 1996 no chauffeured vehicle service company
accounted for more than 2% of total United States industry revenues. The
Company also believes that similar fragmentation exists in the chauffeured
vehicle service industry outside the United States.
 
 
                                       3

  The Company's objective is to increase its profitability and its market share
in the chauffeured vehicle service industry by implementing the following
growth strategies:
 
    Expand through Acquisitions. Carey believes that there are significant
  opportunities to acquire additional chauffeured vehicle service companies
  that would benefit from the capital and management resources that the
  Company can provide. Carey intends to acquire current Carey licensees, as
  well as additional chauffeured vehicle service companies both in markets in
  which the Company already owns and operates such a business and in other
  strategic regions in North America, Europe and the Pacific rim of Asia.
  Carey believes it has a competitive advantage in acquiring licensees
  because of a right of first refusal contained in the substantial majority
  of its domestic license agreements. The Company believes that it has less
  than a 10% market share in each of the markets in which it owns and
  operates a chauffeured vehicle service company, and that there is
  significant potential for it to expand its business in such markets through
  acquisitions. As the Company acquires additional chauffeured vehicle
  service companies, it anticipates that cost savings can be achieved through
  the consolidation of certain administrative functions and the elimination
  of redundant facilities, equipment and personnel.
 
    Carey has successfully begun to implement its acquisition strategy. Since
  November 1991, the Company has acquired 16 chauffeured vehicle service
  companies, including, since January 1995, two of its licensees (in Ft.
  Lauderdale/Miami and San Francisco) and seven additional chauffeured
  vehicle service companies (two in each of Boca Raton and San Francisco, and
  one in each of New York, Washington, D.C. and London). In June 1997, the
  Company acquired Manhattan International Limousine Network Ltd. and an
  affiliated company ("Manhattan Limousine"), one of the largest chauffeured
  vehicle service companies in the metropolitan New York area and the
  operator of a network of approximately 300 affiliates worldwide. Manhattan
  Limousine generated revenues of approximately $18.4 million during its
  fiscal year ended September 30, 1996, representing approximately 23.4% of
  the Company's fiscal 1996 revenues on a pro forma basis. See "Acquisition
  of Manhattan Limousine" and "Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements."
 
    Increase International Market Share. Approximately 12.8% of the Company's
  revenue, net was derived from services performed outside the United States
  during its fiscal year ended November 30, 1996. Of these international
  revenues, approximately 60.8% was generated by the Company's owned and
  operated business in London, approximately 38.1% was generated by the
  Company's international licensees and the remainder was generated by the
  Company's international affiliates. Carey believes that its network can
  capture a significant portion of the growing international market for
  chauffeured vehicle services by acquiring or licensing additional
  chauffeured vehicle service companies and otherwise implementing the Carey
  system outside the United States. The Company intends to increase its
  international presence by intensifying its sales and marketing efforts,
  strengthening its relationships with significant domestic and international
  business travel arrangers, and capitalizing on the capacity of the CIRS to
  operate on a global scale. By enhancing its international presence, the
  Company also expects to increase its revenues from providing chauffeured
  vehicle services to international travelers both visiting the United States
  and travelling abroad.
 
    Expand Licensee Network Worldwide. The Company will seek to expand its
  worldwide network and generate additional revenues from license and
  marketing fees by licensing additional chauffeured vehicle service
  companies in smaller markets that do not justify a Company-owned presence.
  Ultimately, as these less strategic markets grow in size and importance to
  the Company, the licensees in such markets may become acquisition
  candidates.
 
    Convert Salaried Chauffeurs to Independent Operators. The Company
  believes that it can improve its profitability by continuing to convert
  salaried chauffeurs to independent operators in businesses acquired by
  Carey. The objective of Carey's independent operator strategy is to instill
  in each chauffeur the sense of purpose, responsibility and dedication
  characteristic of an independent business owner, thereby increasing
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
 
  the profitability of the chauffeur and the Company. Carey's independent
  operator program allows the Company to reduce its labor and capital costs,
  convert fixed costs to variable costs and generate revenues from fees paid
  by independent operators.
 
  In 1979, the Company was organized as a Delaware corporation and commenced
operations by acquiring certain rights to the "Carey" name held by a
predecessor company. Predecessor companies operated chauffeured vehicle service
businesses under the "Carey" name since the 1920s. The Company's principal
executive offices are located at 4530 Wisconsin Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C.
20016. Its telephone number at that location is (202) 895-1200. As used herein,
unless the context otherwise requires, "Carey" or the "Company" refers to Carey
International, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

                                 RISK FACTORS
 
  The following factors should be considered, together with the other
information in this Prospectus, in evaluating an investment in the Company.
This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements which involve
risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially
from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result
of certain of the factors set forth in the following risk factors and
elsewhere in this Prospectus.
 
HISTORY OF LOSSES
 
  The Company has generated a net loss in three of the past four fiscal years.
Although the Company was profitable during the fiscal year ended November 30,
1996, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to sustain
profitability.
 
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ACQUISITION OF MANHATTAN LIMOUSINE
 
  The acquisition of Manhattan Limousine was consummated simultaneously with
the Company's underwritten initial public offering of Common Stock in June
1997 (the "IPO"). Manhattan Limousine generated pro forma revenues of
approximately $18.4 million during its fiscal year ended September 30, 1996,
representing approximately 23.4% of the Company's fiscal 1996 revenues on a
pro forma basis. As a result of the acquisition of Manhattan Limousine,
approximately 42% of the Company's revenues currently are generated from
services provided within the New York City metropolitan area. The integration
of Manhattan Limousine, which is the Company's largest acquisition to date,
will place significant demands on the Company's management and infrastructure,
and there can be no assurance that Manhattan Limousine's business will be
successfully integrated with that of the Company, that the Company will be
able to realize operating efficiencies or eliminate redundant costs, or that
the combined business will be operated profitably. Further, there can be no
assurance that customers of Manhattan Limousine will continue to do business
with the Company. The failure of the Company in any of these respects could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations. See "Acquisition of Manhattan Limousine."
 
RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANY'S ACQUISITION STRATEGY
 
  The Company intends to grow primarily through the acquisition of additional
chauffeured vehicle service companies. Increased competition for acquisition
candidates may develop, in which event there may be fewer acquisition
opportunities available to the Company as well as higher acquisition costs for
the opportunities that are available. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to identify, acquire or profitably manage additional
businesses or successfully integrate any acquired businesses into the Company
without substantial costs, delays, or other operational or financial problems.
There also can be no assurance that the Company will be able to purchase its
licensees that operate in markets in which the Company does not own and
operate a chauffeured vehicle service company.
 
  The success of any acquisition will depend upon the Company's ability to
introduce automation and management systems, to convert salaried chauffeurs
employed by the acquired business to independent operators and to integrate
the acquired business with the Company's existing operations. Customer
dissatisfaction or performance problems at a single acquired company could
have an adverse effect on the reputation of the Company and the Company's
sales and marketing initiatives. There can be no assurance that any businesses
acquired in the future will achieve anticipated revenues and earnings.
Further, acquisitions involve a number of special risks, including possible
adverse effects on the Company's operating results, diversion of management's
attention, failure to retain key personnel at an acquired company, risks
associated with unanticipated events or liabilities and amortization of
goodwill or other acquired intangible assets, some or all of which could have
a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations. See "Business--Acquisition Strategy."
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
 
RISKS RELATED TO ACQUISITION FINANCING
 
  The Company may choose to finance future acquisitions by using shares of its
Common Stock for a portion or all of the consideration to be paid. In the
event that the Common Stock does not maintain a sufficient market value, or
potential acquisition candidates are otherwise unwilling to accept Common
Stock as part of the consideration for the sale of their businesses, the
Company might not be able to utilize Common Stock as consideration for
acquisitions and would be required to utilize more of its cash resources, if
available, in order to maintain its acquisition program. If the Company does
not have sufficient cash resources, its growth could be limited unless it is
able to obtain additional capital through debt or equity financings. There can
be no assurance that such financing will be available if and when needed or on
terms acceptable to the Company. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital
Resources."
 
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH RAPID GROWTH
 
  As a result of the Manhattan Limousine acquisition, the continued
implementation of the Company's acquisition strategy and the expansion of the
Company's licensee network, the Company may experience rapid growth which
could place additional demands on the Company's administrative, operational
and financial resources. Managing future growth will depend on a number of
factors, including the maintenance of the quality of services the Company
provides to its customers, and the recruitment, motivation and retention of
qualified chauffeurs and other personnel. Sustaining growth will require
enhancements to the Company's operational and financial systems as well as
additional management, operational and financial resources. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to manage its expanding operations
effectively or that it will be able to maintain or accelerate its growth, and
any failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY FLUCTUATIONS
 
  The Company believes that its future operating results may continue to be
subject to quarterly variations caused by such factors as seasonal business
travel, variable scheduling of special events and the timing of acquisitions
by the Company. The Company's least profitable quarter generally has been the
first quarter (ending February 28 or 29), and its most profitable quarter
generally has been the fourth quarter (ending November 30). The Company's
operating results may be subject to considerable fluctuations caused by
special events, such as business and trade association meetings and
conventions and sporting events with national or international participation,
which do not necessarily recur annually, may not be held at the same time of
year and may not always be located in a city in which the Company owns and
operates a chauffeured vehicle service company. In addition, adverse economic
conditions may impact the Company's operating results by reducing the overall
number of road shows and promotional tours. All of these factors can cause
significant fluctuations in quarterly results of operations. Accordingly,
results in any fiscal quarter may not be indicative of results of future
quarters. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations--Quarterly Results of Operations."
 
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH LICENSEE OPERATIONS
 
  The Company has 38 licensees serving 106 cities in the United States and 24
licensees serving 105 cities outside the United States. Although a component
of the Company's strategy is to increase the number of licensees, there can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to attract qualified licensees in
desired locations. The failure of the Company to attract new licensees or the
failure of the Company's licensees to operate successfully could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations. In addition, the failure of one or more of the
Company's licensees to maintain the Company's service standards and conform to
the Carey system could have a material adverse effect on the reputation of the
Carey network and the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations.
 
  In addition, the Company is subject to federal regulation and certain state
laws which govern the offer and sale of franchises. Most state franchise laws
impose substantive requirements on the franchise agreement,
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
 
including limitations on non-competition provisions and termination or non-
renewal of a franchise. Some states require that certain materials be
registered before franchises can be offered or sold in that state. Violations
of federal regulations and the state franchising laws could result in civil
penalties against the Company and civil and criminal penalties against the
executive officers of the Company. While the Company believes that it has
operated in compliance with federal and state franchise laws, no assurance can
be given that the Company will not be required to cease offering and selling
licenses in certain states because of future changes in franchise laws or the
Company's failure or inability to comply with existing franchise laws.
 
STATUS OF INDEPENDENT OPERATORS
 
  The Company's ability to benefit from conversions of salaried chauffeurs to
independent operators will depend, in part, on the Company's continued ability
to classify independent operators as third party contractors rather than as
employees. The Company does not pay or withhold any federal or state
employment tax with respect to or on behalf of independent operators. The
Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") previously challenged the Company's
independent operator policy at its owned and operated business in
Philadelphia, but in March 1997 agreed to settle the challenge without an
adjudication of a violation of IRS regulations. Also in March 1997, the IRS
approved guidelines that chauffeured vehicle service providers such as the
Company can follow in order to treat independent operators as third party
contractors rather than as employees. These guidelines distinguish a third
party contractor from an employee using several factors based upon whether or
not the individual, among other things, (i) invests cash in the venture, (ii)
has the potential to realize a profit or loss, (iii) can make his or her
service available to the public and (iv) is required to comply with company
policies regarding how and when to provide services. The Company believes that
its practices substantially conform to these guidelines, and that, as a
result, its independent operators will be treated as third party contractors.
If, however, the Company's practices are determined not to conform with the
guidelines, or if it is adjudicated that the Company is required to treat its
independent operators as employees, the Company could become responsible for
certain past and future employment taxes. There can be no assurance that, in
the event of such an adverse adjudication, there will not be a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations. See "Business--Independent Operators."
 
INDEPENDENT OPERATOR FINANCING
 
  An important component of the Company's business strategy for its owned and
operated companies involves the preferred use of independent operators instead
of salaried chauffeurs operating Company-owned vehicles. A chauffeur becomes
an independent operator by signing an agreement to pay a fee to the Company
ranging from $45,000 to $60,000. The payment of independent operator fees
historically has been financed by the Company, financing companies or banks.
Prior to September 1996, the Company usually sold to third parties the
independent operator notes initially financed by it. Since September 1996, the
Company has ceased selling such notes to third parties. Because the Company
now bears most of the risk relating to payment of these notes, significant
defaults in their payment could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Each new
independent operator is required to own or obtain his or her vehicle. The cost
of a new vehicle ranges from $35,000 to $65,000, depending upon whether it is
a sedan or a limousine and the features included in the vehicle. The Company
generally does not finance vehicle purchases by its independent operators. As
a result, the ability of independent operators to obtain their own vehicles, a
requirement for conversions from salaried chauffeurs to independent operators,
will depend upon the availability of third party vehicle financing for
independent operators. The inability of independent operators to obtain
vehicle financing will adversely affect the Company's ability to utilize
independent operators, and would have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. There can
be no assurance that such financing will be available if and when needed or on
terms acceptable to potential independent operators. See "Business--
Independent Operators."
 
POTENTIAL ADVERSE EFFECT OF LITIGATION
 
  The Company, certain of its subsidiaries and certain of its officers and
directors currently are named as defendants in a complaint, purporting to be a
class action, alleging that the plaintiff and others similarly situated
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
 
suffered monetary damages as a result of misrepresentations by the defendants
in their use of a surface transportation billing charge. While the Company
denies all claims made against it, it has reached a tentative settlement with
the plaintiff and plaintiff's counsel. The settlement has received preliminary
court approval, but is subject to final court approval and acceptance by the
proposed class. There can be no assurance that the proposed class will agree
to, or that the court will grant final approval of, the settlement. Moreover,
there can be no assurance that claims under the terms of this or any other
settlement entered into by the Company will not adversely affect the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations. Defense of lawsuits
against the Company generally can be expensive and time-consuming, regardless
of the outcome, and an adverse result in a lawsuit could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations. See "Business--Legal Proceedings."
 
FACTORS AFFECTING TRAVEL
 
  The Company is subject to risks generally affecting levels of business
travel, including economic cycles, political changes, terrorist threats or
acts and technological advances. The Company cannot predict the likelihood of
occurrence of any such events. If the occurrence of any such event
significantly reduces domestic or international travel, there could be a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.
 
INSURANCE COVERAGE AND CLAIMS
 
  The Company is exposed to claims for personal injury or death and property
damage as a result of automobile accidents involving chauffeured vehicles
operated by its employees and independent operators and by its licensees and
their drivers. The Company maintains, and the Company's independent operators
are required to maintain, levels of insurance which the Company believes to be
adequate. The Company's licensees are required to maintain adequate levels of
insurance and to name the Company as an additional insured on their insurance
policies. There can be no assurance, however, that the limits and the scope of
any such insurance coverage will be adequate. The cost of maintaining personal
injury, property damage and workers' compensation insurance is significant.
The Company and its independent operators and licensees could experience
higher insurance premiums as a result of adverse claims experiences, general
increases in premiums by insurance carriers or both. Significant increases in
such premiums could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations. See "Business--Independent
Operators" and "Business--Insurance."
 
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
 
  While the Company has numerous senior managers with many years of experience
in the chauffeured vehicle service industry, the Company's success is
dependent on the efforts, abilities and leadership of its executive officers,
particularly, Vincent A. Wolfington, the Company's Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer, and Don R. Dailey, the Company's President. The Company
currently does not have employment agreements with any of its executive
officers. The loss of the services of one or more of such officers could have
a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.
 
COMPETITION
 
  The chauffeured vehicle service industry is highly competitive and
fragmented with few significant national participants operating multi-city
reservation systems. Each local market usually contains numerous local
participants as well as a few companies offering regional and national
service. Chauffeured vehicle service companies compete primarily on the basis
of price, quality, scope of service and dependability. The Company also
competes with service providers offering alternative modes of transportation,
such as buses, jitney services, taxis, radio cars and rental cars. The Company
competes both for customers and for possible acquisitions. The Company expects
its business to become more competitive as existing competitors expand and
additional companies enter the market. Certain of the Company's existing
competitors have, and any new competitors that enter the industry may have,
access to significantly greater financial resources than the Company.
Competitive market conditions could have a material adverse affect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. See
"Business--Competition."

POSSIBLE FUTURE SALES OF SHARES
   
  Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock in the public market during or
after this offering under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), or otherwise, or the perception that such
sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices of the Common
Stock and could impair the future ability of the Company to raise capital
through an offering of its equity securities or to use such securities as
consideration in acquisitions. The holders of the Company's securities, aside
from their purchases of Common Stock in the IPO, beneficially own an aggregate
of 4,667,130 shares of Common Stock, including (i) an aggregate of 1,159,401
shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants and (ii)
an aggregate of 228,571 shares issued in connection with the acquisition of
Manhattan Limousine. Of this amount, 3,763,356 shares are "restricted
securities" within the meaning of the Securities Act. Subject to the
contractual lockup provisions discussed below and unless the resale of the
shares is registered under the Securities Act, these restricted shares may not
be sold in the open market unless in compliance with the applicable
requirements of Rule 144. The Company and the beneficial owners of
approximately 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock have agreed not to offer, sell,
contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock, or any
securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock,
prior to November 30, 1997 without the prior written consent of Montgomery
Securities, except for (i) in the case of the Company, Common Stock issued
pursuant to any employee benefit plans or in connection with acquisitions and
(ii) in the case of the Company's directors and executive officers, the
exercise of stock options pursuant to employee benefit plans and shares of
Common Stock disposed of as bona fide gifts, subject, in each case, to the
application of the November 30, 1997 "lock-up" deadline to any shares so
issued or transferred. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."     
 
CERTAIN ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS
 
  Certain provisions of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
By-laws and Delaware law could, together or separately, discourage potential
acquisition proposals, delay or prevent a change in control of the Company and
limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future
for shares of the Common Stock. Those provisions, among other things, provide
for a classified Board of Directors, allow the Board of Directors to issue,
without further stockholder approval, up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred
stock with rights and privileges that could be senior to the Common Stock,
prohibit the stockholders from calling special meetings of stockholders,
restrict the ability of stockholders to nominate directors and submit
proposals to be considered at stockholders' meetings, impose a supermajority
voting requirement in connection with stockholders' amendments to the By-laws
and prohibit stockholders after this offering from acting by written consent
in lieu of a meeting. The Company also is subject to Section 203 of the
Delaware General Corporation Laws (the "DGCL") which, subject to certain
exceptions, prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any of a broad
range of business combinations with any "interested stockholder" for a period
of three years following the date on which such stockholder became an
interested stockholder. See "Description of Capital Stock."
   
POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE AND LIMITATIONS ON RESALE     
 
  There can be no assurance that an active public market for the Common Stock
will continue during or after this offering. From time to time during or after
this offering, there may be significant volatility in the market price for the
Common Stock. Quarterly operating results of the Company, changes in general
conditions in the economy or the chauffeured vehicle service industry, or
other developments affecting the Company, its licensees and affiliates or the
Company's competitors could cause the market price of the Common Stock to
fluctuate substantially. The equity markets have, on occasion, experienced
significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices
for many companies' securities and have been unrelated to the operating
performance of those companies. Any such fluctuations that occur during or
after this offering may adversely affect the prevailing market price of the
Common Stock.
          
  Affiliates of companies acquired by Carey who receive Common Stock under
this Prospectus are subject for one year to the restrictions of Rule 145 under
the Securities Act, including the volume of sale limitations and manner of
sale requirements thereof. The requirements of Rule 145 may limit the ability
of such affiliates to resell Common Stock they may receive under this
Prospectus.

                      ACQUISITION OF MANHATTAN LIMOUSINE
 
  Simultaneously with the completion of the IPO, the Company acquired
Manhattan International Limousine Network Ltd. and an affiliated company
("Manhattan Limousine") for aggregate consideration of $14.2 million, composed
of (i) $7.1 million in cash, (ii) $4.7 million in promissory notes bearing
interest at the rate of 8.0% per annum and payable one year from the date of
the acquisition, and (iii) 228,571 shares of Common Stock. In addition, the
Company assumed approximately $3.7 million of outstanding indebtedness of
Manhattan Limousine, all of which subsequently has been repaid. Pursuant to
the terms of the acquisition, Manhattan Limousine distributed to its
stockholders prior to the closing approximately $3.8 million in assets and
$2.3 million in liabilities.
 
  Prior to its acquisition by Carey, Manhattan Limousine was one of the
largest chauffeured vehicle service companies in the New York metropolitan
area, with revenues in its fiscal year ended September 30, 1996 totalling
approximately $18.4 million. Manhattan Limousine operated the Manhattan
International Limousine Network of more than 300 worldwide affiliates, a
significant majority of which are located in cities in which the Company
already has affiliates. In some cities the Company and Manhattan Limousine
shared common affiliates. Approximately 89.2% of Manhattan Limousine's fiscal
1996 revenues was generated by Manhattan Limousine's New York metropolitan
operations, and approximately 10.8% was generated by its affiliates outside
the New York metropolitan area. Approximately 18.0% of Manhattan Limousine's
fiscal 1996 revenues were derived from services performed for Virgin Atlantic
Airways, which had been Manhattan Limousine's largest customer. See the
Manhattan Limousine Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes
thereto.
 
  In the acquisition, Carey assumed agreements with Manhattan Limousine's
independent operators and their collective fleet consisting of approximately
125 sedans and limousines.
 
                               RECAPITALIZATION
 
  On June 2, 1997, the Company effected the following transactions
(collectively, the "Recapitalization"): (i) a one-for-2.3255 reverse split of
outstanding Common Stock; (ii) the conversion of all of the 42,070 outstanding
shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock into the right to receive an
aggregate of $2,103,500 and 86,003 shares of Common Stock; (iii) the
redemption of all 10,000 shares of the Company's Series F Preferred Stock and
3,000 shares of the Company's Series G Preferred Stock for an aggregate price
of $1,000,000; (iv) the conversion of 9,580 shares of the Company's Series B
Preferred Stock, 46,890 shares of the Company's Series G Preferred Stock and
the Company's Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note dated September 1, 1991
in the principal amount of $2,000,000 into an aggregate of 1,857,524 shares of
Common Stock; (v) the exercise of a warrant to purchase 616,544 shares of
Common Stock by the application of $2,867,546 due the warrant holder under a
subordinated promissory note, and the repayment by the Company of the
remaining outstanding principal balance of $912,454 under such note; and (vi)
the amendment of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to, among other
things, (a) eliminate all previously-designated series of Preferred Stock and
the designation of Class A Common Stock, and (b) increase the authorized
number of shares of Common Stock from 9,512,950 to 20,000,000.

earnings, results of operations, capital requirements and financial condition
and any other factor the Board of Directors of the Company may consider. The
Company's agreements with its principal lenders prohibit dividend payments.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and related notes thereto and "Selected Consolidated
Financial Data" appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. Unless otherwise
indicated or the context otherwise requires, each reference to a year is to
the Company's fiscal year which ends on November 30 of such year.
 
OVERVIEW
 
  The Company generates revenues primarily from chauffeured vehicle services
provided by (i) Carey's owned and operated businesses and (ii) Carey's
licensees and affiliates when services provided by such licensees and
affiliates are billed through the Company's central reservation and billing
system. In 1995 and 1996, approximately 74.7% and 73.6%, respectively, of the
Company's revenue, net was generated by chauffeured vehicle services provided
by the Company's owned and operated businesses, approximately 16.3% and 15.6%,
respectively, was generated by chauffeured vehicle services provided by the
Company's licensees and billed by the Company, and approximately 2.5% and
2.0%, respectively, was generated by chauffeured vehicle services provided by
the Company's affiliates and billed by the Company. Carey also generates
revenues from its licensees through fees (both initial and monthly) related to
(i) licensing the use of its name and service mark, (ii) its central
reservation and billing services and (iii) its marketing activities. In 1995
and 1996, approximately 2.7% and 3.2%, respectively, of the Company's revenue,
net was generated from its licensees through such fees. To a lesser extent,
the Company derives revenues from the payment of fees by independent
operators. The Company recognizes revenues from these fees ratably over the
terms of the independent operators' agreements with the Company, which
typically range from 10 to 20 years. As of May 31, 1997, the Company had $6.8
million of deferred revenue on its balance sheet ($13.7 million on a pro forma
basis reflecting the acquisition of Manhattan Limousine).
 
  Cost of revenue primarily consists of amounts due to the Company's
independent operators. The amount due to independent operators is a percentage
(ranging from 60% to 65%) of the charges for services provided, net of
discounts and commissions. Cost of revenue also includes amounts due to the
Company's licensees and affiliates for chauffeured vehicle services provided
by them and billed by the Company. Such amounts generally include the charges
for services provided less a referral fee ranging from 15% to 25% of net
vehicle service revenue. Cost of revenue also includes salaries and benefits
paid to chauffeurs employed by the Company. To a lesser extent, cost of
revenue includes costs associated with owning and maintaining the vehicles
owned by the Company, telecommunications expenses, salaries and benefits for
reservationists, marketing expenses for the benefit of licensees, and
commissions due to travel agents and credit card companies.
 
  Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of
compensation and related benefits for the Company's officers and
administrative personnel, marketing and promotional expenses for the Company's
owned and operated chauffeured vehicle service companies, and professional
fees, as well as amortization costs related to the intangibles recorded as a
result of the Company's acquisitions.
 
  In addition to internal growth from the Company's sales and marketing
efforts, an important component in the Company's growth to date has been the
acquisition of its licensees and other chauffeured vehicle service companies.
Since December 1994, Carey has acquired nine chauffeured vehicle service
companies. Each of these acquisitions was made for cash and the issuance or
assumption of notes and was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. A substantial majority of the purchase price paid by the Company
in each such acquisition represented goodwill, franchise rights (if a licensee
was acquired) and/or other intangibles. Such franchise rights and goodwill are
amortized over 30 years on a straight-line basis and amounted to $12.7 million
(net of accumulated amortization) as of May 31, 1997. As a result of the
acquisition of Manhattan Limousine, the Company recognized an additional $19.9
million of goodwill.
 
 
                                      15

<PAGE>
 
  The results of operations for the acquired companies have been included in
the Company's consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of
acquisition. Carey expects to benefit from its acquisitions by consolidating
general and administrative functions, increasing operating efficiencies, and,
as a result of converting salaried chauffeurs to independent operators,
eliminating the overhead and capital costs associated with employing salaried
chauffeurs, leasing garages, maintaining parts and fuel inventories, and
owning and operating vehicles. The Company generally realizes these benefits
within six to twelve months after an acquisition, depending upon whether the
acquisition is of a chauffeured vehicle service company in a location in which
the Company already operates, or of a licensee in a market where Carey has yet
to establish operations.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain financial
data for the Company expressed as a percentage of revenue, net. With respect

SIX MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1997 (THE "1997 PERIOD") COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED
MAY 31, 1996 (THE "1996 PERIOD")
 
  Revenue, Net. Revenue, net increased $4.3 million or 16.1% from $26.6
million in the 1996 Period to $30.9 million in the 1997 Period. Of the
increase, approximately $3.4 million arose as a result of expanded use of the
Carey network, including an increase in business from corporate travel
customers and business travel arrangers, and approximately $930,000 was due to
revenues of the Company's operations in London which were acquired in the 1996
Period.
 
  Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue increased $3.0 million or 16.7% from $18.1
million in the 1996 Period to $21.1 million in the 1997 Period. The increase
was primarily attributable to higher costs due to increased business levels
and to costs of revenue of the Company's operations in London which were
acquired in the 1996 Period. Cost of revenue increased as a percentage of
revenue, net from 68.1% in the 1996 Period to 68.5% in the 1997 Period,
primarily reflecting the effects of seasonally higher operating costs as a
percentage of revenues in the Company's London operations in the first quarter
of the 1997 Period, offset by the benefit of increased implementation of the
Company's independent operator program.
 
  Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased approximately $716,000 or 10.0% from $7.2
million in the 1996 Period to $7.9 million in the 1997 Period. The
 
                                      16
<PAGE>
 
increase was largely due to the costs of additional personnel, increased
marketing expenses and increased administrative expenses in support of higher
business levels. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a
percentage of revenue, net from 26.9% in the 1996 Period to 25.5% in the 1997
Period as a result of an increase in revenue, net without a corresponding
increase in administrative costs.
 
  Interest Expense. Interest expense was approximately $872,000 in the 1996
Period and approximately $777,000 in the 1997 Period. Interest expense
decreased as a percentage of revenue, net from 3.3% in the 1996 Period to 2.5%
in the 1997 Period as a result of payments reducing the principal amounts of
debt outstanding in the two periods.
 
  Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes increased
approximately $302,000 from approximately $209,000 in the 1996 Period to
approximately $512,000 in the 1997 Period. The increase primarily related to
the increase in pre-tax income of the Company from approximately $662,000 in
the 1996 Period to $1.3 million in the 1997 Period. In addition, the Company
utilized NOLs in determining its provision for income taxes in the 1996 Period
but such NOLs were not available to the Company in the 1997 Period.
 
  Net Income. As a result of the foregoing, the Company's net income increased
approximately $299,000 or 65.9% from approximately $453,000 in the 1996 Period
to approximately $751,000 in the 1997 Period.
 
YEAR ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1995
 
  Revenue, Net. Revenue, net increased approximately $16.0 million or 36.8%
from $43.5 million in 1995 to $59.5 million in 1996. Of the increase,
approximately $9.6 million was contributed by existing operations as a result
of expanded use of the Carey network, including an increase in business from
corporate travel customers and business travel arrangers, and approximately
$6.4 million was due to revenues of companies which were acquired from
December 1994 through February 1996.
 
  Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue increased approximately $10.5 million or
35.1% from $29.9 million in 1995 to $40.4 million in 1996. The increase was
primarily attributable to higher costs due to increased business levels. Cost
of revenue decreased as a percentage of revenue, net from 68.9% in 1995 to
68.0% in 1996 as a result of spreading the fixed costs of the Company's
reservations infrastructure over a larger revenue base.
 
  Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased approximately $2.7 million or 21.4% from
$12.4 million in 1995 to $15.1 million in 1996. The increase was largely due
to higher administrative costs associated with additional personnel, increased
marketing and promotional expenses, and higher amortization of intangibles as
a result of acquisitions. Selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased as a percentage of revenue, net from 28.6% in 1995 to 25.3% in 1996
as a result of an increase in revenue without a corresponding increase in
administrative costs.
 
  Interest Expense. Interest expense was $1.7 million in each of 1995 and
1996. Interest expense decreased as a percentage of revenue, net from 3.0% in
1995 to 2.1% in 1996.
 
  Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was
nominal in 1995. In 1996, the Company had a tax benefit of $104,000. Prior to
1996, the Company recorded a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax
assets. This allowance was reversed in 1996 in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. The reversal reduced the provision for income
taxes in 1996 by approximately $1.5 million. The increase in the provision
recordable in 1996, which was offset by the effect of reducing the valuation
allowance against deferred tax assets, was attributable to the Company's
increased pretax profit level in 1996 which exceeded the beneficial tax effect
of net operating loss carryforwards of prior years. The Company has utilized
the full amount of its net operating loss carryforwards.
 
  Net Income (Loss). As a result of the foregoing, the Company had net income
of $2.8 million in 1996 compared to a net loss of approximately $195,000 in
1995.

YEAR ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1995 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1994
 
  Revenue, Net. Revenue, net increased approximately $8.0 million or 22.4%
from $35.5 million in 1994 to $43.5 million in 1995. Of the increase,
approximately $4.7 million was due to revenues of companies acquired from
December 1994 through August 1995, as well as the full year effect in 1995 of
companies acquired in 1994. Approximately $3.3 million of the increase was
contributed by existing operations as a result of an increase in business from
corporate travel customers, business travel arrangers, special event business,
and the implementation in mid-1995 of charges to licensees for central
reservation and billing services.
 
  Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue increased approximately $4.9 million or
20.0% from $25.0 million in 1994 to $29.9 million in 1995. The increase was
primarily attributable to higher operating costs due to increased business
levels and to operating costs related to acquired companies. Cost of revenue
decreased as a percentage of revenue, net from 70.2% in 1994 to 68.9% in 1995
as a result of increased utilization of the Company's operating resources and
the implementation, in mid-1995, of charges to licensees for central
reservation and billing services which did not result in a corresponding
increase in cost.
 
  Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased approximately $2.9 million or 30.9% from
$9.5 million in 1994 to $12.4 million in 1995. This increase was largely due
to higher costs associated with additional personnel, increased marketing and
promotional expense, and the increase in the amortization of intangibles
recorded as a result of acquisitions. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased as a percentage of revenue, net from 26.7% in 1994 to 28.6%
in 1995 as a result of relatively higher levels of administrative costs in
existing operations and additional expenses related to companies acquired late
in 1995 whose operations were not consolidated with the Company's operations
until 1996.
 
  Interest Expense. Interest expense increased approximately $334,000 or 24.8%
from approximately $1.4 million in 1994 to $1.7 million in 1995. This increase
was due to net increases in debt in 1995 to fund acquisitions. Interest
expense as a percentage of revenue, net increased slightly from 3.8% in 1994
to 3.9% in 1995.
 
  Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was nominal in
1994 and in 1995.
 
  Net Loss. As a result of the foregoing, the Company had a net loss of
approximately $195,000 in 1995 compared to a net loss of approximately
$129,000 in 1994.

</TABLE>
 
  The Company believes that its future operating results may continue to be
subject to quarterly variations caused by such factors as seasonal business
travel, variable scheduling of special events and the timing of acquisitions
by the Company. The Company's least profitable quarter generally has been the
first quarter (ending February 28 or 29), and its most profitable quarter
generally has been the fourth quarter (ending November 30).
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  The Company's primary sources of funding previously had been cash flow from
operations, proceeds from the bulk sale of independent operator notes,
commercial bank credit facilities, notes issued by the Company to sellers of
acquired chauffeured vehicle service companies and, to a lesser extent, the
sale of vehicles obtained from acquired companies. For the period from
December 1, 1993 through May 31, 1997, the Company generated $9.4 million in
cash from operating activities, had aggregate borrowings to fund acquisitions
of $6.5 million and had proceeds from bulk sales of notes from independent
operators of approximately $2.6 million. The Company anticipates that in
addition to the net proceeds from the IPO, cash flow from operations and
borrowings under credit facilities will be its principal sources of funding.
The Company has discontinued its practice of selling notes received from
independent operators.
 
  The Company's principal uses of cash have been, and will continue to be, the
funding of acquisitions, repayment of debt, and investment in both its
centralized reservation facility and its automated operation and information
systems.
 
  Net cash provided by operating activities increased from approximately
$895,000 in the 1996 Period to approximately $1.4 million in the 1997 Period.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $1.9 million, from $2.7
million in 1995 to $4.6 million in 1996, primarily as a result of an increase
in operating income, as adjusted for depreciation and amortization of fixed
assets, franchise rights and goodwill from acquired operations. Net cash
provided by operating activities increased by approximately $2.0 million, from
approximately $701,000 in 1994 to $2.7 million in 1995, primarily as a result
of the timing of payments to independent operators and as a result of its
acquisition activities and internal growth. Cash and cash equivalents
decreased $1.0 million to $1.7 million at May 31, 1997 from $2.8 million at
November 30, 1996. The overall net decrease in cash and cash equivalents
during the 1997 Period related primarily to acquisitions, repayment of
principal of debt and payment of costs associated with the IPO.
 
                                      19
<PAGE>
 
  Cash used in investing activities decreased by $1.3 million, from $1.5
million in the 1996 Period to $242,000 in the 1997 Period. Cash was used in
the 1996 Period to acquire operations in London, whereas relatively little
acquisition activity occurred in the 1997 Period. Cash used in investing
activities decreased by $2.1 million, from $4.1 million in 1995 to $2.0
million in 1996. Cash was used in investing activities in 1995 and 1996
primarily for the acquisition of chauffeured vehicle service companies. In
1994, relatively little acquisition activity occurred and cash for investment
purposes of approximately $388,000 was used primarily for capital
expenditures. In all periods, funds used for acquisitions and capital
expenditures were offset in part by proceeds from the sale of fixed assets,
primarily vehicles acquired in connection with the purchase of chauffeured
vehicle service businesses.
 
  Cash provided by financing activities was approximately $350,000 in the 1996
Period compared to cash used in financing activities of $2.2 million in the
1997 Period, primarily as a result of the net payment of notes payable during
the 1997 Period. Cash provided by financing activities was $1.4 million in
1995, compared to cash used in financing activities of $1.2 million in 1996,
primarily as a result of net repayment of notes payable in 1996. Cash used in
financing activities was $1.3 million in 1994, primarily as a result of
repaying notes payable.
   
  In connection with the IPO, the Company issued a total of 3,335,000 shares
of Common Stock and received proceeds, net of underwriters' discounts and
commissions and offering costs, of $30.7 million. The Company closed the sale
of 2,900,000 of such shares of Common Stock on June 2, 1997 and, after the
underwriters exercised their over-allotment option, the Company closed the
sale of 435,000 of such shares of Common Stock on June 6, 1997. The Company
utilized the net proceeds from the IPO to repay principal on indebtedness of
$7.1 million and to partially fund the Recapitalization by repaying principal
on indebtedness of approximately $912,000 and redeeming preferred stock for
$1.0 million. Additionally, the Company acquired Manhattan Limousine on June
2, 1997 and paid from the IPO proceeds $11.8 million to the sellers of
Manhattan Limousine and $3.5 million to repay principal on indebtedness of
Manhattan Limousine. Of the remaining net proceeds, $2.1 million has been used
to complete the Recapitalization of the Company and the balance of $4.3
million will be used for acquisitions and other general corporate purposes,
including working capital.     
 
  At May 31, 1997, the Company had borrowings, including notes payable to
sellers of chauffeured vehicle service companies, in the amount of $14.4
million. Of the $14.4 million, approximately $8.0 million was repaid on June
2, 1997 from the net proceeds of the IPO, as more fully discussed in the
preceding paragraph. As part of the Recapitalization, which was implemented on
June 2, 1997, a further $4.9 million of the debt was converted to Common Stock
of the Company. The remaining debt of the Company at May 31, 1997, after such
repayments and conversions, amounted to $1.5 million, approximately $468,000
of which is to be repaid over the next 12 months.
 
  The Company has entered into a credit facility with Fleet Bank, N.A., Banco
Popular de Puerto Rico and George Mason Bank consisting of a secured revolving
line of credit and subsequent term loan of $25.0 million. The facility, which
may be used for acquisitions and working capital, is collateralized by the
assets of the Company and its domestic operating subsidiaries. Loans made
under the revolving line of credit bear interest at the Company's option of
either the bank's prime lending rate or 2.0% above the LIBOR rate. Commitment
fees equal to 0.375% per annum are payable on the unused portion of the
revolving line of credit. On the second anniversary of the credit facility,
outstanding balances under the credit facility will convert into a five-year
term loan, which will bear interest either at a fixed rate (subject to
availability) or at a variable LIBOR or prime rate determined based on the
Company's earnings. The credit facility (i) will prohibit the payment of
dividends by the Company, (ii) generally will not permit the Company to incur
or assume other indebtedness that is not subordinated to the participating
banks and (iii) will require the Company to comply with certain financial
covenants.
 
  While there can be no assurance, management believes that cash flow from
operations, the remaining net proceeds from the IPO and funds from the credit
facility will be adequate to meet the Company's capital requirements for the
next 12 months, depending on the methods of financing and size of potential
acquisitions. While the Company historically has financed acquisitions
primarily with cash, it may seek to finance future acquisitions by using
common stock for a portion or all of the consideration to be paid.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND FOREIGN CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS
 
  The Company does not believe that inflation and foreign currency fluctuation
has had, or will have, a material impact on the financial position and results
of operation.

                                   BUSINESS
 
  Carey International, Inc. is one of the world's largest chauffeured vehicle
service companies, providing services through a worldwide network of owned and
operated companies, licensees and affiliates serving 420 cities in 65
countries. The "Carey" brand name has represented quality chauffeured vehicle
services since the 1920s. The Company owns and operates its service providers
in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, London, Washington D.C., South
Florida and Philadelphia. In addition, the Company generates revenues from
licensing the "Carey" name and providing central reservation, billing and
sales and marketing services to its licensees. The Company's worldwide network
also includes affiliates in locations in which the Company has neither owned
and operated companies nor licensees. Over the past five years, the Company
has invested significant capital in developing its reservation, central
billing and worldwide service infrastructure. By leveraging its current
infrastructure and position as a market leader, the Company intends to
consolidate the highly fragmented chauffeured vehicle service industry through
the acquisition of: (i) current Carey licensees, (ii) additional companies in
markets in which the Company already owns and operates a chauffeured vehicle
service company, and (iii) companies in other strategic markets in North
America, Europe and the Pacific rim of Asia.
 
  The Carey network utilizes chauffeured sedans, limousines, vans and
minibuses to provide services for airport pick-ups and drop-offs, inter-office
transfers, business and association meetings, conventions, roadshows,
promotional tours, special events, incentive travel and leisure travel.
Businesses and business travelers utilize the Company's services primarily as
a management tool, to achieve more efficient use of time and other resources.
 
  Carey's worldwide network of chauffeured vehicle service companies allows it
to provide services with consistently high quality to its customers in
virtually every major city in the expanding global travel market. The network
is linked to over 300,000 reservation terminals in travel agencies, corporate
travel departments and government agencies by the Carey International
Reservation System (the "CIRS"), the chauffeured vehicle service industry's
most extensive centralized global reservation system.
 
MARKET OVERVIEW
 
  The Company estimates that the United States chauffeured vehicle service
industry generated revenues of approximately $3.9 billion in 1996, and has
undergone steady growth in recent years, with revenues increasing at a
compound annual growth rate of 10.9% between 1990 and 1996. The industry is
highly fragmented, with approximately 9,000 companies utilizing over 100,000
vehicles. The Company believes that during 1996 no chauffeured vehicle service
company accounted for more than 2% of total United States industry revenues.
The Company also believes that similar fragmentation exists in the chauffeured
vehicle service industry outside the United States.
 
  The chauffeured vehicle service industry serves businesses in virtually all
industrial and financial sectors of the economy. The Company believes that
business customers are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their use of
ground vehicle services and are demanding a broader array of "meet-and-greet"
and other services, as well as business amenities such as cellular phones.
Although there are other forms of transportation that compete with chauffeured
vehicles, such as buses, jitney services, taxis, radio cars and rental cars,
the Company believes that none of those forms of transportation provides the
quality, dependability and value-added services of chauffeur-driven vehicles.
The Company also believes that businesses place a premium on service providers
that are able to coordinate the travel itinerary of each member of a large
group over many locations with a single reservation and billing system.
 
                                      22

BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
  The Company's objective is to increase its profitability and its market
share in the chauffeured vehicle service industry by implementing the
following growth strategies:
 
    Expand through Acquisitions. Carey believes that there are significant
  opportunities to acquire additional chauffeured vehicle service companies
  that would benefit from the capital and management resources that the
  Company can provide. Carey intends to acquire current Carey licensees, as
  well as additional chauffeured vehicle service companies both in markets in
  which the Company already owns and operates such a company and in other
  strategic regions in North America, Europe and the Pacific rim of Asia.
  Carey believes it has a competitive advantage in acquiring licensees
  because of a right of first refusal contained in the substantial majority
  of its domestic license agreements. The Company has successfully begun to
  implement its acquisition strategy, having acquired 16 chauffeured vehicle
  service companies since November 1991. In June 1997, the Company acquired
  Manhattan Limousine, one of the largest chauffeured vehicle service
  companies in the New York metropolitan area and the operator of the
  Manhattan International Limousine Network.
 
    Increase International Market Share. Approximately 12.8% of the Company's
  revenue, net was derived from services performed outside the United States
  during its fiscal year ended November 30, 1996. Of these international
  revenues, approximately 60.8% was generated by the Company's owned and
  operated business in London, approximately 38.1% was generated by the
  Company's international licensees and the remainder was generated by the
  Company's international affiliates. Carey believes that its network can
  capture a significant portion of the growing international market for
  chauffeured vehicle services by acquiring or licensing additional
  chauffeured vehicle service companies and otherwise implementing the Carey
  system outside the United States. The Company intends to increase its
  international presence by intensifying its sales and marketing efforts,
  strengthening its relationships with significant domestic and international
  business travel arrangers, and capitalizing on the capacity of the CIRS to
  operate on a global scale. By enhancing its international presence, the
  Company also expects to increase its revenues from providing chauffeured
  vehicle services to international travelers both visiting the United States
  and travelling abroad.
 
    Expand Licensee Network Worldwide. The Company will seek to expand its
  worldwide network and generate additional revenues from license and
  marketing fees by licensing additional chauffeured vehicle service
  companies in smaller markets that do not justify a Company-owned presence.
  Ultimately, as these less strategic markets grow in size and importance to
  the Company, the licensees in such markets may become acquisition
  candidates.
 
    Convert Salaried Chauffeurs to Independent Operators. The Company
  believes that it can improve its profitability by continuing to convert
  salaried chauffeurs to independent operators in businesses acquired by
  Carey. The objective of Carey's independent operator strategy is to instill
  in each chauffeur the sense of purpose, responsibility and dedication
  characteristic of an independent business owner, thereby increasing the
  profitability of the chauffeur and the Company. Carey's independent
  operator program allows the Company to reduce its labor and capital costs,
  convert fixed costs to variable costs and generate revenues from fees paid
  by independent operators.
 
ACQUISITION STRATEGY
 
  Carey believes that there are significant opportunities to acquire
additional chauffeured vehicle service companies as a result of: (i) the
highly fragmented and increasingly global nature of the industry, (ii)
industry participants' capital requirements and desire for liquidity, and
(iii) the pressures of increasing competition. The Company intends to continue
to pursue its acquisition program in order to strengthen its position in its
existing markets and to acquire operations in new markets.
 
  Carey intends to pursue acquisitions that will allow the Company to own and
operate chauffeured vehicle service companies in new geographic markets. The
Company currently owns and operates chauffeured vehicle
 
                                      23
<PAGE>
 
service companies in six of the largest United States travel markets and in
London, the largest European travel market, and will seek to acquire Carey
licensees in other significant travel markets in North America, Europe, and
the Pacific rim of Asia. The Company believes that its ability to acquire its
licensees will be enhanced by a right of first refusal that is contained in a
substantial majority of its domestic license agreements and the limited terms
of most of its international license agreements. The Company's preference is
to retain key management, operating and sales personnel of an acquired company
in a new market in order to maintain continuity of operations and customer
service.
 
  The Company believes that it has a market share of less than 10% in each of
the markets in which it owns and operates a chauffeured vehicle service
company, and that there is significant potential for it to expand its business
in such markets through acquisitions. When justified by the size of an
existing market acquisition, the Company expects to retain key management and
sales personnel of the acquired company and to seek to improve that company's
profitability through implementation of the Company's operating strategies. In
most instances, acquired operations can be integrated into the Company's
existing operations in a market, resulting in elimination of duplicative
overhead and operating costs.
 
  The Company believes that there are significant advantages to consolidating
the chauffeured vehicle service industry. Carey believes it can increase
revenues of acquired companies by marketing the worldwide services of its
network to customers of such companies, and by increasing the productivity of
chauffeurs at the acquired companies through the implementation of training
and quality assurance programs. Moreover, Carey believes that cost savings can
be achieved following acquisitions through (i) the consolidation of certain
administrative functions and increased use of automation, (ii) the elimination
of redundant facilities, equipment and personnel and (iii) the conversion of
salaried chauffeurs driving company-owned vehicles into independent operators
driving their own vehicles.
 
  Carey has successfully begun its acquisition strategy, having acquired 16
chauffeured vehicle service companies since November 1991. The following table
lists the date of acquisition, location of each such chauffeured vehicle
service company and whether the acquired company was a licensee or affiliate
of the Company or other chauffeured vehicle service company:

  The Company has analyzed significant data on the chauffeured vehicle service
industry and individual businesses within that industry and believes that it
is well positioned to further implement its acquisition program. The Company
believes that management's lengthy tenure with the Company, extensive
experience in the chauffeured vehicle service industry and relationships with
acquisition candidates provide the Company with significant knowledge that
will assist the Company in its attempts to acquire licensees of the Company
and other chauffeured vehicle service companies. The Company regularly reviews
various strategic acquisition opportunities and periodically engages in
discussions regarding such possible acquisitions. As the result of this review
process, negotiations and acquisition agreements may occur from time to time
if appropriate opportunities arise.
 
  The acquisition of Manhattan Limousine has solidified the Company's presence
in the New York metropolitan area and diversified its customer base. The
Company has benefitted from Manhattan Limousine's contracts with many New
York-based participants in the airline and hotel industries, including
airlines such as Virgin Atlantic Airways and Aer Lingus, and hotels such as
the Plaza Hotel and the Mark Hotel. Typically these arrangements are
terminable by the airline or hotel upon 30 days' notice. During its fiscal
year ended September 30, 1996, approximately 18.0% of Manhattan Limousine's
revenues were derived from services performed for Virgin Atlantic Airways.
While the Company has begun to consolidate certain administrative operations
of Manhattan Limousine with its own and to eliminate redundant facilities,
equipment and personnel, Manhattan Limousine otherwise will retain its
separate identity until June 1998, if not later.
 
  Manhattan Limousine historically provided services solely through
independent operators rather than salaried chauffeurs. As a result, subsequent
to the acquisition, Carey has not been able to realize the benefits of
converting salaried chauffeurs into independent operators. See "--Independent
Operators." As a result of the acquisition, Carey assumed Manhattan
Limousine's network of approximately 300 affiliates from which Manhattan
Limousine received fees for referred business. A significant majority of these
affiliates are located in cities in which the Company already has affiliates,
and in some cities the companies share common affiliates already were Carey
affiliates as well.
 
  As consideration for future acquisitions, the Company intends to use various
combinations of shares of Common Stock, cash and notes. Some or all of any
shares of Common Stock issued in connection with acquisitions may be
registered under the Securities Act.
 
SERVICE PROVIDER NETWORK
 
  Carey's international network of owned and operated chauffeured vehicle
service companies, licensees and affiliates, serving 420 cities in 65
countries, enables it to provide its customers chauffeured vehicles in
virtually every significant travel market throughout the world. Carey believes
that its network is the most extensive in the industry, and intends to expand
the network by adding qualified licensees and affiliates in locations
justifying new or expanded service. The Company believes that the trend toward
globalization is opening more cities for business and personal travel around
the world. The Company monitors and evaluates cities in which a demand for
chauffeured vehicle services may warrant a "Carey" presence.
 
  The Company's network provides chauffeured vehicle services for airport
pickups and drop-offs, inter-office transfers, business and association
meetings, conventions, road shows, promotional tours, special events,
incentive travel and leisure travel. Of these activities, the Company derived
approximately 9.3% of its 1996 pro forma revenues from hotel contracts,
approximately 8.3% from financial services customers and approximately 5.1%
from contracts with airlines. The Company also offers its clients travel and
tour planning services, "meet-and-greet" services, destination management
services, group movement coordination services, direct and central billing in
U.S. dollars, and access to the Company's 24-hour worldwide computerized
reservation system, the CIRS.
 
                                      25
<PAGE>
 
  The Company's fleet in its owned and operated locations contains four types
of vehicles consisting of chauffeured sedans, limousines, vans and minibuses,
some of which can carry up to 30 persons. In addition, the Company
subcontracts from time to time for buses that can carry a greater number of
passengers. The fleets of the Company's licensees and affiliates in larger
markets are similar to the Company's fleet, and in smaller markets generally
consist of only chauffeured sedans and limousines. All vehicles are driven by
uniformed professional chauffeurs, most of whom own the vehicles that they
drive. Each such chauffeur drives a clean, late model vehicle with amenities
important to the business traveler, such as cellular telephones and daily
newspapers.
 
  Owned and Operated Companies. The Company owns and operates chauffeured
vehicle service companies in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, London,
Washington, D.C., South Florida and Philadelphia. Revenue provided by these
companies represented approximately 74.7% of the Company's revenue, net in
fiscal 1995 and 73.6% in fiscal 1996.
 
  Licensees. The Company has 38 licensees serving 106 cities in the United
States and 24 licensees serving 105 cities outside the United States, all of
which operate under the Carey name. Revenue, net provided by the Company's
licensees represented approximately 19.0% and 18.8% of the Company's revenue,
net in fiscal 1995 and 1996, respectively.
 
  The domestic license fee ranges from $15,000 to $75,000, depending upon the
size of the market. The sum of the continuing fees paid by the domestic
licensee varies, but annually is generally less than 10% of its revenues or,
in some cases, less than 10% of an excess above a specified base.
Substantially all candidates appointed as domestic licensees have been in
business for at least 10 years prior to the grant of a license. The term of a
domestic license agreement entered into prior to January 1, 1996 is perpetual
and subsequent to January 1, 1996 is 10 years.
 
  International licensees historically have not paid annual license fees;
rather, they have paid a commission on business referred to them. The term of
an international license agreement usually is from year to year, although in a
few cases it is perpetual.
 
  Under the domestic license agreement, the Company provides the licensee with
(i) the right to use the "Carey" name, (ii) participation in the CIRS, (iii)
various consulting services, (iv) identification in various travel
directories, (v) access to bulk purchasing arrangements for automobiles, parts
and maintenance materials and (vi) national sales and marketing services. In
the event of a proposed transfer of a license or a licensee, the Company has
the right to approve the transferee. In addition, for most license agreements
executed prior to January 1, 1996 and all license agreements executed on or
after January 1, 1996, Carey retains a right of first refusal by which it may
acquire any license or licensee upon the same terms as the license or licensee
is proposed to be sold.
 
  Typically, a licensee candidate acts as an affiliate before being selected
as a licensee. Licensees operate according to strict service guidelines
specified by the Company and market the Carey name in conjunction with the
Company's overall marketing program. The Company conducts ongoing quality
assurance programs and annual audits of licensees to insure that the licensees
have met the high service standards set forth by the Company. The Company has
the right to terminate any license if the licensee fails to comply with such
standards.
 
  Affiliates. The Company utilizes affiliates to provide services to its
clients in cities where the Company does not have Company-owned operations or
licensees. Affiliates are not licensed to use the Carey name and do not pay
license fees to the Company, but must meet the Company's quality standards in
order to receive referred business. Pursuant to oral agreements between the
Company and its affiliates, the Company is entitled to receive a commission of
15% of net vehicle revenues for all referred business. The Company's
affiliates are located in 121 cities in the United States and 67 cities
outside the United States. Revenue, net provided by the Company's affiliates
represented approximately 2.5% and 2.0% of the Company's revenue, net in
fiscal 1995 and 1996, respectively.

CAREY INTERNATIONAL RESERVATION SYSTEM (CIRS)
 
  The hub of the Company's network of service providers is the CIRS, the Carey
International Reservation System. The CIRS is operated on a 24-hour basis by
Carey's central reservation department, which processes reservations through
the Company's proprietary computer system. The central reservation department
receives reservations through the Company's toll free "800" telephone number
(800-336-4646), by fax or telex, or through one of the six major airline
reservation systems, SABRE, APOLLO, WORLDSPAN, GALILEO, BABS and SITA. These
airline systems allow travel agencies, corporate travel departments and
government offices to access the CIRS through over 300,000 reservation
terminals worldwide. The Company bills a licensee or affiliate for each
reservation referred to the licensee or affiliate through the CIRS.
 
  The CIRS can be accessed for up-to-date tariffs both in dollars and in
foreign currency for 420 cities throughout the world. Through the CIRS, the
Company's reservation and customer service personnel have instant access to
all rates, services offered, types of vehicles available and special airport
greeting capabilities in each individual city. Individual customer profiles
are maintained, including vehicle and chauffeur preferences, frequent pick-up
points, addresses and directions, billing requirements and account status.
 
  The CIRS is used to make arrangements for a broad range of business and
consumer applications such as transportation to and from airports, association
and industry meetings and functions, road shows, transportation related to
incentive travel, board of directors meetings and sight seeing tours. Special
customer service facilities are available with direct phone lines, including a
special service desk, executive VIP desk, international tour desk, special
event desk and road show desk.
 
  The CIRS utilizes client/server architecture and proprietary software
developed over a five-year period which allows constant input into a complex
international network linking more than 65 countries. A primary strength of
the CIRS is the reliability of its reporting and control systems which verify
all reservations for complete information, customer service requirements and
accounting authorizations. The CIRS also contains customer invoicing programs
to allow central billing directly through the system for all services used
worldwide. In addition, the system's ability to track reservations allows more
accurate and detailed analyses for marketing purposes.
 
  In 1992, the Company began leasing its reservation and operating systems to
its licensees. These systems create a basis for certain licensees to have
direct access to the CIRS and provide them with the ability to book local
reservations, dispatch vehicles and account for chauffeured vehicle services.
 
MARKETING, SALES AND CUSTOMER SERVICE
   
  The Company believes that "Carey," a registered service mark, is a highly
recognized name in the chauffeured vehicle service and travel industries
worldwide. The Company intends to continue to expand recognition of the
"Carey" name through its marketing and promotional efforts. Carey has
developed an extensive marketing program directed at both the travel arranger
and the end user of chauffeured vehicle services. The program consists of
directory listings, advertising, direct mail, public relations, cooperative
promotional and joint marketing programs, attendance at and sponsorship of
travel-related conventions and workshops, and direct selling. The direct sales
force serving the Company and its licensees currently consists of
approximately 20 professionals.     
   
  Carey is listed in approximately 95 travel directories which are used by
travel arrangers to obtain information on travel related services. Advertising
targeted at travel arrangers is placed in over 35 trade journals including
Business Travel Executive, Travel Weekly, Travel Trade and Business Travel
News. In addition, the Company advertises extensively in magazines and
newspapers, consumer association books, hotel room information books and the
Yellow Pages, and on radio and television in selected markets.     
 
  The Company's continuing direct mail program is targeted at both the travel
arranger and the end user. The program distributes approximately two million
promotional pieces annually. Most major travel arrangers receive at least six
direct mail pieces per year which include announcements of new services, news
on service providers
 
                                      27
<PAGE>
 
and reservation programs, the Carey Newsletter and listings of rates. End
users and arrangers receive promotional pieces on Carey when they are billed
for the Company's services.
 
  The Company's marketing program seeks to build upon brand name acceptance,
customer loyalty, service know-how, technology and strategic market
relationships with other market leaders in the travel and tourism industry,
such as airlines, travel agencies, credit card companies and central
reservation systems. The Company's sales force calls on thousands of accounts
annually and participates in trade shows, seminars and association meetings.
The Company also is involved in promotional and cooperative agreements with
American Express Platinum Card and Gold Card, Diner's Club "Club Chauffeur"
program, British Airways, Air France and various cruise lines.
 
  The Company believes that the retention and expansion of existing business
is as important as new sales. Carey has established a base of loyal customers
in part by monitoring the standard of service through its quality assurance
and customer service programs. To assure that the Company continues to provide
consistently high quality and reliable service, Carey operates a five-part
quality assurance program. The Company's quality assurance program utilizes
survey cards that are sent to customers and travel arrangers. Approximately
90% of the quality assurance cards returned to Carey during the twelve-month
period ended November 30, 1996 rated the Company's reservation services,
chauffeurs and vehicles as "excellent." Carey's quality assurance program
includes evaluations performed by an independent consultant to measure the
quality of chauffeur services, the appearance of chauffeurs and vehicles, and
the availability of other amenities, such as cellular phones and daily
newspapers.
 
INDEPENDENT OPERATORS
 
  An important component of Carey's strategy involves the preferred use of
independent operators instead of salaried chauffeurs operating Company-owned
vehicles. An independent operator takes responsibility for owning, operating
and maintaining his or her own vehicle. The Company believes that acting as an
independent operator creates incentives for the chauffeur to become more
productive, efficient and service-oriented, thereby increasing the
profitability of the chauffeur and the Company. The objective of the Company's
independent operator strategy is to instill in each chauffeur the sense of
purpose, responsibility and dedication characteristic of an independent
business owner.
 
  The use of independent operators allows the Company to reduce its labor and
capital costs, convert fixed costs to variable costs and generate revenues
from fees paid by independent operators. Because of the greater responsibility
borne by independent operators, the Company is able to allocate fewer
resources to oversee its vehicle operations. As a result, the Company can
focus to a greater extent on support services, business development,
administration, billing, quality assurance, and sales and marketing.
 
  Each independent operator enters into an agreement with the Company to
provide prompt and courteous service to the Company's customers with a
properly maintained, late model vehicle consistent with the Company's
standards. The cost of a new vehicle ranges from $35,000 to $65,000, depending
upon whether it is a sedan or a limousine and the features included in the
vehicle. Each new independent operator agrees to pay an initial fee to the
Company, acquires his or her vehicle and pays all of the maintenance and
operating expenses of such vehicle, including gasoline.
 
  Prior to December 1996, the Company's typical agreement with an independent
operator had a term of 10 years and provided for a fee ranging from $30,000 to
$45,000 (depending on the local market) that was financed by the Company at an
annual interest rate of 8% to 12%. The notes evidencing such financing
generally were sold by the Company to third parties. Since December 1996, the
independent operator agreements entered into by the Company generally have
provided for, and the Company intends that future agreements will provide for,
a term of 15 years, fees of $45,000 to $60,000 and an interest rate of 14% per
year. In certain markets, such as New York, the Company may provide longer
terms and higher fees in its independent operator agreements. Currently, the
Company does not intend to continue its former practice of selling to third
parties notes evidencing independent operator financing. To date, the Company
has not incurred any material losses as a result of defaults under such notes,
and any potential future losses will be mitigated from an accounting
perspective because of the Company's policy of deferral of revenue recognition
in connection with independent operator fees.
 
 
                                      28
<PAGE>
 
  The independent operator agreement provides that the Company will bill and
collect all revenues (as defined in the agreement) and remit to the
independent operator 60% to 65% of such revenues. In this arrangement, the
Company assumes the risk of collecting from each customer and generally pays
the independent operator his or her share regardless of whether the Company is
paid by the customer. An independent operator's failure to meet the high
standards of service associated with the Carey name constitutes a breach of
the agreement and gives rise to a right of the Company to terminate the
agreement.
 
  Independent operators also generally require financing to purchase their
vehicles. Typically, independent operators have utilized banks, vehicle
financing companies or CLI Fleet, Inc. ("CLI Fleet"), a finance company that
specializes in providing financing to the chauffeured vehicle service
industry. See "Certain Transactions." On occasion, the Company has provided
secured vehicle financing to independent operators with repayment terms of
three to five years.
 
CUSTOMERS
 
  The Company's customer list exceeds 75,000 individuals and organizations
that are dispersed across many different industries and geographic locations.
No client accounted for more than 5% of the Company's revenue, net in 1996.
The Company's major clients include companies in the finance, travel and
related services, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, airline, insurance,
publishing, oil and gas exploration, entertainment, tobacco, and food and
beverage industries.
 
COMPETITION
 
  The chauffeured vehicle service industry is highly competitive and
fragmented, with few significant national participants operating a multi-city
reservation system. Each local market usually contains numerous local
participants as well as a few companies offering regional and national
service. Chauffeured vehicle service providers compete primarily on the basis
of price, quality, scope of service and dependability. The Company also
competes with service providers offering alternative modes of transportation,
such as buses, jitney services, taxis, radio cars and rental cars. The Company
believes that its high quality of service and dependability have allowed the
Company to compete effectively in its markets. Carey competes both for
customers and for possible acquisitions. The Company expects its business to
become more competitive as existing competitors expand and additional
companies enter the industry. Certain of the Company's existing competitors
have, and any new competitors that enter the industry may have, access to
significantly greater financial resources than the Company.
 
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
 
  The Company's chauffeured vehicle service operations are subject to various
state and local regulations and, in many instances, require permits and
licenses from state and local authorities. In addition, the Company is
regulated by the Federal Highway Administration with respect to, among other
things, minimum vehicular insurance requirements. The Company believes that it
has all required permits and licenses to conduct its operations and that it is
in substantial compliance with applicable regulatory requirements relating to
its operations.
 
  The Company is subject to federal and state laws, rules and regulations
governing the offer and sale of franchises. A number of states have enacted
laws that require detailed disclosure in the offer and sale of franchises
and/or the registration of the franchisor with state administrative agencies.
The Company is also subject to Federal Trade Commission regulations relating
to disclosure requirements in the sale of franchises. Certain states have
enacted, and others may enact, legislation governing certain aspects of the
franchise relationship and limiting the ability of the franchisor to terminate
or refuse to renew a franchise. The law applicable to franchise sales and
relationships is rapidly developing, and the Company is unable to predict the
effect on its franchise system of additional requirements or restrictions that
may be enacted or promulgated or of court decisions that may be adverse to
franchisors. Due to the scope of the Company's business, and the complexity of
franchise regulation, compliance problems may be encountered from time to
time.
 
 
                                      29
<PAGE>
 
INSURANCE
 
  The Company is subject to accident claims as a result of the normal
operation of its fleet of vehicles, which claims and the defense thereof
generally are covered by insurance. The Company purchases automobile
liability, automobile collision and comprehensive damage, general liability,
comprehensive property damage, workers' compensation and other insurance
coverages that management considers adequate for the protection of the
Company's assets and operations, although there can be no assurance that the
coverages and limits of such policies will be adequate. The Company's standard
license agreement requires that its licensees purchase similar types of
insurance and name the Company as a named insured in such insurance policies.
A successful claim against the Company beyond the scope of its or its
licensees' insurance coverage or in excess of its or its licensees' limits
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.
 
FACILITIES
 
  The Company owns facilities in Alexandria, Virginia and Long Island City,
New York used by owned and operated chauffeured vehicle service companies
providing services in the Washington, D.C. and New York metropolitan areas,
respectively. The Company leases its corporate headquarters in Washington,
D.C. and also leases six administrative and/or operating facilities in
California, New York, Pennsylvania, Florida and London. Management believes
that the Company's facilities are adequate for its present needs and that
suitable additional or replacement space will be available as required.
 
EMPLOYEES AND INDEPENDENT OPERATORS
 
  As of June 30, 1997, the Company had approximately 325 full-time employees
(approximately 43 of whom were chauffeurs) and approximately 109 part-time
employees (approximately 72 of whom were chauffeurs). As of June 30, 1997, the
Company also had agreements with approximately 452 independent operators. The
Company is not a party to any collective bargaining agreement.
 
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
 
  The Company is the registered owner of two United States service marks
covering the "Carey" name. The Company believes that customer and travel
arranger recognition of these marks has contributed to its success. The
Company is not affiliated with Carey Transportation, Inc., a company that
provides bus transportation services in the metropolitan New York City area.
Except in this area, the Company believes it has the exclusive right to use
the "Carey" name in connection with transportation services in all locations
in which it either owns and operates a chauffeured vehicle service company or
maintains a licensee.
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
  The Company and certain of its officers and directors were named in a civil
action filed on May 15, 1996 in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania (Case No. 96-CV-3702) entitled "Felix v.
Carey International, Inc., et al." The plaintiff's complaint, which purports
to be a class action, alleges that the plaintiff and others similarly situated
suffered monetary damages as a result of misrepresentations by the various
defendants in their use of a surface transportation billing charge (the
"STC"). The STC is billed by Carey to its customers and represents a surcharge
on account of various fees and service costs incurred by it in its provision
of services to such customers. The plaintiff seeks damages in excess of $1.0
million on behalf of the class for each of the counts in the complaint
including fraud, negligent misrepresentation and violations of the Racketeer
Influenced and Corrupt Organizations law of 1970, which permits the recovery
of treble damages and attorneys' fees. The proposed class has received
preliminary certification by the court. The Company filed a motion to dismiss
that was denied, and subsequently has filed an answer denying any liability in
connection with this complaint.
 
  The Company has reached a tentative settlement with the plaintiff and
plaintiff's counsel, which has received preliminary court approval but is
subject to final court approval and acceptance by the proposed class.
 
                                      30
<PAGE>
 
The settlement calls for the Company to deposit up to $950,000 into a
settlement fund for a class consisting of all persons who paid the STC during
the period from May 15, 1992 through March 15, 1997. Following final court
approval of the settlement, the Company will change its disclosure concerning
the STC, and each class member showing proper authentication of a claim shall
be entitled to receive either (i) cash totalling 10% of the STC paid during
the period described above or (ii) a nontransferable credit to be applied
toward future use of the Company's services in an amount equal to 30% of such
STC. This settlement has been agreed to by the plaintiff and plaintiff's
counsel, but there can be no assurance that the court will give final approval
to, or the proposed class will accept, the settlement. The Company is
indemnifying and defending its officers and directors who were named
defendants in the case, subject to conditions imposed by applicable law.
 
  Although the Company does not believe the litigation described above will
have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and
results of operations, the defense of the litigation could be expensive and
time-consuming, regardless of the outcome, and, if the proposed settlement is
not approved and accepted, an adverse result in such litigation could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows.
 
  The Company is a party to other litigation in the ordinary course of
business. The Company does not anticipate an unfavorable result in any such
litigation or believe that an unfavorable result, if it occurred, would have a
material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of
operations.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
 
  The Company's Board of Directors is divided into three classes with
staggered three-year terms. The initial term of Messrs. Hambrecht and Hillman
expire at the Company's 1998 annual meeting, the initial terms of Messrs. Cox
and St. George expire at the Company's 1999 annual meeting, and the initial
terms of Messrs. Wolfington and Dailey expire at the Company's 2000 annual
meeting. Successors to the directors whose terms expire at each annual meeting
are elected for three-year terms. A director holds office until the annual
meeting for the year in which his term expires and until his successor is
elected and qualified.
 
  Executive Committee. The members of the Executive Committee of the Company's
Board of Directors are Messrs. Wolfington, Cox and Dailey. The Executive
Committee exercises all the powers of the Board of Directors between meetings
of the Board of Directors, except such powers that are reserved to the Board
of Directors by applicable law.
 
  Audit Committee. The members of the Audit Committee of the Company's Board
of Directors are Messrs. Hillman and St. George. The Audit Committee makes
recommendations concerning the engagement of independent public accountants,
reviews with the independent public accountants the plans for and results of
the audit, approves professional services provided by the independent public
accountants, reviews the independence of the independent public accountants,
considers the range of audit and non-audit fees and reviews the adequacy of
the Company's internal accounting controls.
 
  Compensation Committee. The members of the Compensation Committee of the
Company's Board of Directors are Messrs. Cox and St. George. The Compensation
Committee establishes a general compensation policy for the Company and
approves increases in directors' fees and salaries paid to officers and senior
employees of the Company. The Compensation Committee administers the Company's
equity incentive plans and determines, subject to the provisions of the
Company's plans, the directors, officers and employees of the Company eligible
to participate in any of the plans, the extent of such participation and terms
and conditions under which benefits may be vested, received or exercised.
 
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
 
  Members of the Board of Directors who also serve as officers of the Company
do not receive compensation for serving on the Board. Each other member of the
Board receives an annual retainer of $15,000 for serving on the Board, plus a
fee of $1,000 for each Board of Directors' meeting attended. In addition, such
directors receive an additional fee of $500 for each committee meeting
attended, except that only one fee is paid in the event that more than one
such meeting is held on a single day. All directors receive reimbursement of
reasonable expenses incurred in attending Board and committee meetings and
otherwise carrying out their duties.
 
  The Company maintains the Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the
"Directors' Plan"). A maximum of 100,000 shares of Common Stock may be
delivered upon the exercise of options granted under the Directors' Plan and
elections to receive shares in lieu of cash compensation. Only directors of
the Company who are not employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries
(the "Non-Employee Directors") are eligible to participate in the Directors'
Plan. While grants of stock options under the Directors' Plan are automatic
and non-discretionary, all questions of interpretation of the Directors' Plan
are determined by the Board of Directors.
 
  On the date of each annual meeting of stockholders, each Non-Employee
Director continuing in office will be granted an option pursuant to the
Directors' Plan covering 2,500 shares. Any newly elected Non-Employee Director
will be granted an option pursuant to the Directors' Plan covering 5,000
shares on the date of his or her election (whether such election occurs at an
annual meeting or otherwise). The option exercise price for all options
granted under the Directors' Plan is the closing price of a share of the
Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on the date the option
is granted. All options granted under the Directors' Plan become fully
exercisable six months after the date of grant. Unless sooner terminated
following the death, disability or termination of service of a director,
options granted under the Directors' Plan will remain exercisable until the
 
                                      34
<PAGE>
 
fifth anniversary of the date of grant. In addition, upon certain transactions
involving a change of control or the dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, all options held by Non-Employee Directors will terminate; provided,
however, that for a period of 20 days prior to the effective date of any such
transaction, dissolution or liquidation, all options outstanding under the
Directors' Plan that are not otherwise exercisable shall immediately vest and
become exercisable.
 
  Under the Directors' Plan, a Non-Employee Director may elect to be paid all
or a portion of his or her annual retainer in shares of Common Stock. Any such
election must be made in writing at least 30 days prior to the date the annual
retainer would be paid by the Company. The number of shares to be delivered to
a Non-Employee Director upon such election is determined by dividing the
amount of the annual retainer to be received in shares of Common Stock by the
closing price of a share of Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq National
Market on the date the annual retainer is to be paid.
 
  The Board of Directors may at any time or times amend the Directors' Plan
for any purpose which at the time may be permitted by law.

EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS
 
  The Company currently maintains the 1987 Stock Option Plan (the "1987 Plan")
and the 1992 Stock Option Plan (the "1992 Plan"), both of which provide for
the award of incentive and non-statutory stock options by the Company. The
Company also maintains the 1997 Equity Incentive Plan (the "1997 Plan"), which
provides for the award of up to 650,000 shares of Common Stock in the form of
incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation
rights, restricted stock, performance stock units and other stock units which
are valued by reference to the value of the Common Stock. The 1987 Plan, 1992
Plan and 1997 Plan are hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Equity
Plans."
   
  As of August 31, 1997, options were outstanding to purchase an aggregate of
865,447 shares of Common Stock under the Equity Plans, and an aggregate of
252,155 shares of Common Stock are authorized but have not yet been granted
under options pursuant to such plans (including 223,500 shares pursuant to the
1997 Plan).     
 
  Officers, key employees, non-employee directors of and consultants to the
Company are eligible to participate in the Equity Plans. The Equity Plans are
administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Among
other things, the Compensation Committee determines, subject to the provisions
of said plans, who shall receive awards, the types of awards to be made, and
the terms and conditions of each award. Options that are intended to qualify
as incentive stock options under the Equity Plans may be exercisable for not
more than 10 years after the date the option is awarded and may not be granted
at an exercise price less than the fair market value of the shares of Common
Stock at the time the option is granted (and, in the case of stock options
granted to holders of more than 10% of the Common Stock, may not be granted at
an exercise price less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares of
Common Stock at the time the options are granted). The Compensation Committee
may at any time, including in connection with a change in control of the
Company, accelerate the exercisability of all or any portion of any option
issued under the Equity Plans.
 
  The Compensation Committee may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding
award under the Company's Equity Plans with the participant's consent, except
consent shall not be required if the Compensation Committee determines that
such action will not materially and adversely affect the participant. The
Board may amend, suspend or terminate any of the Equity Plans, or any part of
such plans, at any time, except that no amendment may be made without
stockholder approval if such approval is necessary to comply with any
applicable tax or regulatory requirement.
 
INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITIES OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
 
  As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation provides for the elimination, subject to certain
conditions, of the personal liability of directors of the Company for monetary
damages for breach of their fiduciary duties. The directors, however, remain
subject to equitable remedies even if their liability for monetary damages is
eliminated. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation
 
                                      36
<PAGE>
 
also provides that the Company shall indemnify its directors and officers. In
addition, the Company maintains an indemnification insurance policy covering
all directors and officers of the Company. In general, the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation and the indemnification insurance policy attempt
to provide the maximum protection permitted by Delaware law with respect to
indemnification of directors and officers.
 
  Under the indemnification provisions of the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation and the indemnification insurance policy, the Company will pay
certain amounts incurred by a director or officer in connection with any civil
or criminal action or proceeding, and specifically including actions by or in
the name of the Company (derivative suits), where the individual's involvement
is by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the
Company. Such amounts include, to the maximum extent permitted by law,
attorney's fees, judgments, civil or criminal fines, settlement amounts, and
other expenses customarily incurred in connection with legal proceedings. A
director or officer will not receive indemnification if he is found not to
have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the Company.

common stock of CLI Fleet at a purchase price equal to the greater of $187,500
or CLI Fleet's liquidating value as determined by an independent appraisal.
 
  To date, CLI Fleet has provided financing to the Company's independent
operators, without recourse to the Company, for both initial fees due under
the Company's independent operator agreements and with respect to vehicles
purchased by independent operators. Each of the Company's owned and operated
chauffeured vehicle service companies has entered into a Finance & Service
Agreement with CLI Fleet, which provides that the Company will recommend and
refer independent operators to CLI Fleet for financing of vehicles. To date,
CLI Fleet also has purchased from the Company notes receivable due from
independent operators in exchange for cash or demand notes on a non-recourse
basis. The Company sold $378,733, $1,762,345 and $1,015,897 of independent
operator notes receivable to CLI Fleet for cash of $378,733, $1,290,899 and
$733,793 and demand promissory notes of $0, $471,446 and $282,104 in 1994,
1995 and 1996, respectively. These promissory notes are due on demand,
although monthly principal payments generally are received. These notes bear
interest at rates ranging from 5% to 7%. The Company generally no longer sells
notes receivables from independent operators to CLI Fleet, although CLI Fleet
continues to provide vehicle financing to the Company's independent operators.
 
  In May 1996, the exercise price of a warrant issued to PNC was reduced from
$6.14 to $4.65 per share. In addition, in connection with the
Recapitalization, Carey repaid approximately $912,000 of the $3.8 million in
principal outstanding on its subordinated note held by PNC and applied the
balance of the outstanding principal to pay the purchase price for 616,544
shares of Common Stock issued to PNC upon exercise of the warrant held by it.
David McL. Hillman, a director of the Company, is Executive Vice President of
PNC.
 
  In May 1996, the exercise price of a warrant to purchase 86,003 shares of
Common Stock owned by Yerac was reduced from $6.14 to $4.65 per share. In
addition, in connection with the Recapitalization, Yerac converted the entire
outstanding balance of a $2.0 million subordinated note held by it into
approximately 430,000 shares of Common Stock. From the net proceeds of the
IPO, the Company repaid approximately $1.1 million of additional outstanding
indebtedness to Yerac. Messrs. Wolfington and Dailey are limited partners of
Yerac. See "Principal Stockholders."
 
  In connection with the Recapitalization, the Company redeemed 22,000 shares
of Series A Preferred Stock held by entities affiliated with Hambrecht & Quist
California (collectively "H&Q") for an aggregate of $1.1 million in cash plus
44,974 shares of Common Stock. Also in connection with the Recapitalization,
H&Q received 900,089 shares of Common Stock as a result of the conversion of
5,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and 31,864 shares of Series G
Preferred Stock. William R. Hambrecht, a director of the Company, is a
director and chairman of Hambrecht & Quist California and Hamco Capital
Corporation, and a general partner of Hambrecht & Quist Venture Partners
which, in turn, is the general partner of H&Q London Ventures, H&Q Ventures
International C.V., and H&Q Ventures IV. Mr. Hambrecht also is a trustee of
The Hambrecht 1980 Revocable Trust. See "Principal Stockholders."
 
  Vincent A. Wolfington, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
and Don R. Dailey, the Company's President, each personally guaranteed certain
indebtedness of the Company in the original principal amount of $4.5 million.
The outstanding balance of this indebtedness totalled approximately $3.7
 
                                      39
<PAGE>
 
million as of February 28, 1997. The Company paid Messrs. Wolfington and
Dailey $45,000 each during 1996 as a fee for guaranteeing such indebtedness.
The Company used part of the net proceeds of the IPO to repay the entire
outstanding amount of such indebtedness, and following the repayment the
guarantees were terminated. In connection with the Recapitalization, Messrs.
Wolfington and Dailey received $20,250 and $13,650, respectively, and 7,569
shares and 5,123 shares of Common Stock, respectively, as a result of the
redemption of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the conversion of the
shares of Series G Preferred Stock beneficially owned by each of them.

                         DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
  The Company's authorized capital stock consists of 20,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, $.01 par value per share, and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock, $.01 par value per share ("Preferred Stock"). The following summary
description of the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock is qualified by
reference to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
included as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus
is a part.
 
COMMON STOCK
   
  As of August 31, 1997, there were 6,838,842 shares of Common Stock
outstanding, and outstanding options and warrants to purchase an aggregate of
1,159,401 shares of Common Stock. Including the foregoing shares underlying
outstanding options, a total of 89,010 shares of Common Stock are reserved for
issuance under the 1987 Plan, 385,480 shares are reserved for issuance under
the 1992 Plan, 650,000 shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance under
the 1997 Plan and 100,000 shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance
under the Directors' Plan. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote
for each share held of record on all matters to be submitted to a vote of the
stockholders, and do not have cumulative voting rights. Subject to preferences
that may be applicable to any outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, holders
of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may
be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company out of
funds legally available therefor. The Company's agreements with its principal
lenders prohibit dividend payments. See "Dividend Policy." All outstanding
shares of Common Stock are fully paid and nonassessable and the holders
thereof have no preferences or conversion, exchange or pre-emptive rights. In
the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the
Company, holders of Common Stock will be entitled to share ratably in the
assets of the Company remaining after payment or provision for payment of all
of the Company's debts and obligations and liquidation payments to holders of
outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, if any.     
 
PREFERRED STOCK
 
  Currently, there are no shares of Preferred Stock of the Company issued and
outstanding. Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more series without
further stockholder authorization, and the Board of Directors is authorized to
fix and determine the terms, limitations and relative rights and preferences
of the Preferred Stock, to establish series of Preferred Stock and to fix and
determine the variations as among series. Preferred Stock, if issued, would
have priority over the Common Stock with respect to dividends and to other
distributions, including the distribution of assets upon liquidation, and may
be subject to repurchase or redemption by the Company. The Board of Directors,
without approval of the holders of the Common Stock, can issue Preferred Stock
with voting and conversion rights (including multiple voting rights) which
could adversely affect the rights of holders of Common Stock. In addition to
having a preference with respect to dividends or liquidation proceeds,
Preferred Stock, if issued, may be entitled to the allocation of capital gains
from the sale of the Company's assets. Although the Company has no present
plans to issue any shares of Preferred Stock, the issuance of shares of
Preferred Stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase such shares, may have
the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the
Company or an unsolicited acquisition proposal.
 
CLASSIFIED BOARD OF DIRECTORS
 
  The Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company provide
for the Board of Directors to be divided into three classes of directors, as
nearly equal in number as is reasonably possible, serving staggered terms so
that directors' initial terms will expire either at the 1998, 1999 or 2000
annual meeting of stockholders. Starting with the 1998 annual meeting of
stockholders, one class of directors will be elected each year for a three-
year term. See "Management."
 
  The Company believes that a classified Board of Directors will help to
assure the continuity and stability of the Board of Directors and the
Company's business strategies and policies as determined by the Board of
 
                                      41

<PAGE>
 
Directors, since a majority of the directors at any given time will have had
prior experience as directors of the Company. The Company believes that such
continuity and stability, in turn, will permit the Board of Directors to
represent more effectively the interests of its stockholders.
 
  With a classified Board of Directors, at least two annual meetings of
stockholders, instead of one, generally will be required to effect a change in
the majority of the Board of Directors. As a result, a provision relating to a
classified Board of Directors may discourage proxy contests for the election
of directors or purchases of a substantial block of the Common Stock because
the provision could operate to prevent a rapid change in control of the Board
of Directors. The classification provision also could have the effect of
discouraging a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting
to obtain control of the Company. Under the DGCL, unless a corporation's
certificate of incorporation otherwise provides, a director on a classified
board may be removed by the stockholders of the corporation only for cause.
 
ADVANCE NOTICE PROVISIONS FOR STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND STOCKHOLDER
NOMINATIONS OF DIRECTORS
 
  The By-laws establish an advance notice procedure with regard to the
nomination by the stockholders of the Company of candidates for election as
directors (the "Nomination Procedure") and with regard to other matters to be
brought by stockholders before a meeting of stockholders of the Company (the
"Business Procedure").
 
  The Nomination Procedure requires that a stockholder give written notice to
the Secretary of the Company, delivered to or mailed and received at the
principal executive offices of the Company not less than 60 days nor more than
90 days prior to the meeting, in proper form, of a planned nomination for the
Board of Directors. Detailed requirements as to the form and timing of that
notice are specified in the By-laws. If the Chairman determines that a person
was not nominated in accordance with the Nomination Procedure, such person
will not be eligible for election as a director.
 
  Under the Business Procedure, a stockholder seeking to have any business
conducted at any meeting must give written notice to the Secretary of the
Company, delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive
offices of the Company not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to
the meeting, in proper form, subject to the requirements of the proxy
solicitation rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Detailed
requirements as to the form and timing of that notice are specified in the By-
laws. If the Chairman determines that the other business was not properly
brought before such meeting in accordance with the Business Procedure, such
business will not be conducted at such meeting.
 
  Although the By-laws do not give the Board of Directors any power to approve
or disapprove of stockholder nominations for the election of directors or of
any other business desired by stockholders to be conducted at an annual or any
other meeting, the By-laws (i) may have the effect of precluding nominations
for the election of directors or precluding the conduct of business at a
particular annual meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or (ii)
may discourage or deter a third party from conducting a solicitation of
proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain
control of the Company, even if the conduct of such solicitation or such
attempt might be beneficial to the Company and its stockholders.
 
OTHER PROVISIONS
 
  Special Meetings of the Stockholders of the Company. The Company's By-laws
provide that a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company only may be
called by the Chairman of the Board, or by order of the Board of Directors.
That provision prevents stockholders from calling a special meeting of
stockholders and potentially limits the stockholders' ability to offer
proposals to the annual meetings of stockholders, if no special meetings are
otherwise called by the Chairman or the Board.
 
  Amendment of the By-laws. The Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provides that the By-laws only may be amended by a vote of the
Board of Directors or by a vote of at least 75% of the outstanding shares of
the Company's stock entitled to vote in the election of directors.
 
                                      42
<PAGE>
 
  No Action by Written Consent. The Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation does not permit the Company's stockholders to act by written
consent. As a result, any action to be taken by the Company's stockholders
must be taken at a duly called meeting of the stockholders.
 
DELAWARE ANTI-TAKEOVER STATUTE
 
  The Company is subject to Section 203 of the DGCL which, with certain
exceptions, prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any of a broad
range of business combinations with any "interested stockholder" for a period
of three years following the date that such stockholder became an interested
stockholder, unless: (a) prior to such date, the Board of Directors of the
corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which
resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, (b) upon
consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an
interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the
voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction
commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares
outstanding those shares owned (i) by persons who are directors and officers
and (ii) by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have
the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan
will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer, or (c) on or after such date,
the business combination is approved by the Board of Directors and authorized
at an annual or special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at
least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the
interested stockholder. An "interested stockholder" is defined as any person
that is (y) the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the
corporation or (z) an affiliate or associate of the Company and was the owner
of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the Company at any time
within the three-year period immediately prior to the date on which it is
sought to be determined whether such person is an interested stockholder.
 
                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
   
  As of August 31, 1997, the Company had 6,838,842 shares of Common Stock
outstanding. Of these shares, 3,339,440 shares are freely tradeable without
restriction under the Securities Act, except for any such shares which may be
beneficially owned by an "affiliate" of the Company (as that term is defined
in Rule 144). The 3,499,402 remaining shares constitute "restricted
securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 and, except for shares held by
affiliates of the Company and the 228,571 shares issued in connection with the
acquisition of Manhattan Limousine, will be eligible for sale in the open
market subject to the applicable requirements of Rule 144(k) described below.
       
  Also as of August 31, 1997, if issued upon the exercise of outstanding
warrants, 263,953 shares of Common Stock also will constitute restricted
securities within the meaning of Rule 144 and will be eligible for sale in the
open market subject to the applicable requirements of Rule 144 discussed
below.     
   
  As of August 31, 1997 there were 895,447 shares of Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise of outstanding options under the Company's Equity Plans and
Directors' Plan and an additional 322,155 shares of Common Stock reserved for
future award or grant under such plans. The Company has filed a registration
statement on Form S-8 to register the issuance of shares under the Equity
Plans and Directors' Plan. Common Stock issued pursuant to such registration
statement upon exercise of outstanding vested options granted pursuant to the
Equity Plans and Directors' Plan, other than Common Stock issued to affiliates
of the Company, is available for immediate resale in the open market.     
 
  In general, under Rule 144, if a period of at least one year has elapsed
between the later of the date on which restricted securities were acquired
from the Company and the date on which they were acquired from an affiliate,
then the holder of such restricted securities (including an affiliate) is
entitled to sell that number of shares within any three-month period that does
not exceed the greater of (i) one percent of the then outstanding shares of
the Common Stock or (ii) the average weekly reported volume of trading of the
Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding such sales. Sales under
Rule 144 also are subject to certain requirements pertaining to the manner of
such sales, notices of such sales and the availability of current public
information
 
                                      43
<PAGE>
 
concerning the Company. Any shares not constituting restricted securities sold
by affiliates must be sold in accordance with the foregoing volume limitations
and other requirements but without regard to the one year holding period.
Under Rule 144(k), if a period of at least two years has elapsed from the
later of the date on which restricted securities were acquired from the
Company and the date on which they were acquired from the affiliate, a holder
of such restricted securities who is not an affiliate at the time of the sale
and has not been an affiliate for at least three months prior to the sale
would be entitled to sell the shares immediately without regard to the volume
limitations and other conditions described above.
 
  The Company and the beneficial owners of approximately 4,000,000 shares of
Common Stock (including all of the Company's officers and directors and those
individuals who were issued Common Stock in the Manhattan Limousine
acquisition) have agreed that they will not offer, sell, contract to sell,
pledge, grant any option for the sale of, or otherwise dispose or cause the
disposition of any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for such shares prior to November 30, 1997,
without the prior written consent of Montgomery Securities, except for (i) in
the case of the Company, Common Stock issued pursuant to any employee or
director benefit plan described herein or in connection with acquisitions or
(ii) in the case of directors and executive officers, the exercise of stock
options pursuant to benefit plans described herein and shares of Common Stock
disposed of as bona fide gifts, subject in each case to the application of the
November 30, 1997 "lock-up" deadline to shares so issued or transferred. In
evaluating any request for a waiver of the lock-up period, Montgomery
Securities will consider, in accordance with their customary practice, all
relevant facts and circumstances at the time of the request, including,
without limitation, the recent trading market for the Common Stock, the size
of the request and, with respect to a request by the Company to issue
additional equity securities, the purpose of such an issuance. The holder of
228,571 shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the acquisition of
Manhattan Limousine will be entitled to certain demand and piggy-back
registration rights beginning June 2, 1998.
 
  Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock by existing stockholders could
have an adverse impact on the prevailing market price of the Common Stock. No
predictions can be made as to the effect, if any, that market sales of shares
by existing stockholders or the availability of such shares for future sale
will have on the market price of shares of Common Stock prevailing from time
to time.
                              
                           PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION     
   
  This Prospectus relates to 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock that may be
offered and issued by the Company from time to time in connection with
acquisition of other businesses or properties by the Company.     
   
  Carey intends to concentrate its acquisitions within the chauffeured vehicle
service industry. If the opportunity arises, however, Carey may attempt to
make acquisitions that are either complementary to its present operations or
advantageous even though they may be dissimilar to its present activities. The
consideration for any such acquisition may consist of shares of Common Stock,
cash, notes or other evidences of debt, assumptions of liabilities or a
combination thereof, as determined from time to time by negotiations between
Carey and the owners or controlling persons of businesses or properties to be
acquired.     
   
  The shares covered by this Prospectus may be issued in exchange for shares
of capital stock, partnership interests or other assets representing an
interest, direct or indirect, in other companies or other entities, in
exchange for assets used in or related to the business of such companies or
entities, or otherwise pursuant to the agreements providing for such
acquisitions. The terms of such acquisitions and of the issuance of shares of
Common Stock under acquisition agreements will generally be determined by
direct negotiations with the owners or controlling persons of the business or
properties to be acquired or, in the case of entities that are more widely
held, through exchange offers to stockholders or documents soliciting the
approval of statutory mergers, consolidations or sales of assets. It is
anticipated that the shares of Common Stock issued in any such acquisition
will be valued at a price reasonably related to the market value of the Common
Stock either at the time of agreement on the terms of an acquisition or at or
about the time of delivery of the shares.     
 
                                      44
<PAGE>
 
   
  It is not expected that underwriting discounts or commissions will be paid
by the Company in connection with issuances of shares of Common Stock under
this Prospectus. However, finders' fees or brokers' commissions may be paid
from time to time in connection with specific acquisitions, and such fees may
be paid through the issuance of shares of Common Stock covered by this
Prospectus. Any person receiving such a fee may be deemed to an underwriter
within the meaning of the Securities Act.     
   
  Affiliates of companies acquired by Carey who receive Common Stock under
this Prospectus are subject for one year to the restrictions of Rule 145 under
the Securities Act, including the volume of sale limitations and manner of
sale requirements thereof. The requirements of Rule 145 may limit the ability
of such affiliates to resell Common Stock they may receive under this
Prospectus.     
 
                                 LEGAL MATTERS
 
  The validity of the shares offered will be passed upon for the Company by
Nutter, McClennen & Fish, LLP, Boston, Massachusetts.

                  PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                             BASIS OF PRESENTATION
  The Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of May 31, 1997 and the Pro
Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended November 30,
1996 and for the six months ended May 31, 1997 are based on the historical
consolidated financial statements of Carey International, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the "Company"), Manhattan International Limousine Network Ltd.
and Affiliate ("Manhattan Limousine") and Camelot Barthropp Limited. The Pro
Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet has been prepared assuming the acquisition of
Manhattan Limousine occurred on May 31, 1997. For purposes of the Pro Forma
Balance Sheet, the Combined Balance Sheet of Manhattan Limousine as of May 31,
1997, has been combined with the Consolidated Balance Sheet of the Company as
of May 31, 1997.
 
  The Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended
November 30, 1996 and for the six months ended May 31, 1997 have been prepared
assuming the acquisitions of Camelott Barthropp Limited and Manhattan
Limousine occurred on December 1, 1995. For purposes of the Pro Forma
Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended November 30, 1996 and
the six months ended May 31, 1997, Manhattan Limousine's Statement of
Operations for the year ended September 30, 1996 has been combined with the
Consolidated Statement of Operations of the Company for the year ended
November 30, 1996 and Manhattan Limousine's Statement of Operations for the
six months ended March 31, 1997 has been combined with the Consolidated
Statement of Operations of the Company for the six months ended May 31, 1997.
The Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations also reflect the issuance
of shares of Common Stock (net of underwriting discounts) required to: (i)
repay certain existing debt of the Company, (ii) pay the cash and note
portions of the purchase price for Manhattan Limousine, (iii) repay certain
debt assumed in connection with the acquisition of Manhattan Limousine, and
(iv) redeem certain preferred stock of the Company. The Pro Forma Consolidated
Statement of Operations also reflects the issuance of an aggregate of
2,831,643 shares of Common Stock in connection with (i) the acquisition of
Manhattan Limousine, (ii) the issuance of shares of Common Stock as part of
the Recapitalization and (iii) the conversion of certain debt into Common
Stock upon the closing of the initial public offering. All of the
aforementioned shares are assumed to have been issued, the debt repaid or
converted and the preferred stock redeemed at the beginning of the period
presented, and thus interest expense attributable to such debt has been
eliminated.
 
  The Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet reflects the receipt of proceeds as
of May 31, 1997 from the issuance and sale of 2,900,000 shares of Common Stock
in the IPO and from the issuance of 435,000 shares of Common Stock in
connection with the underwriters' exercise of their over-allotment option in
the IPO, and the application of the proceeds of the IPO and the exercise (net
of underwriting discounts and offering expenses payable by the Company) to:
(i) repay certain existing debt of the Company, (ii) pay the cash and note
portions of the purchase price for the acquisition of Manhattan Limousine,
(iii) repay certain debt assumed in connection with the acquisition of
Manhattan Limousine and (iv) redeem certain preferred stock of the Company,
with the remaining net proceeds added to working capital.
 
  The Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements do not purport to represent
what the Company's actual results of operations or financial position would
have been had the acquisitions occurred as of such dates, or to project the
Company's results of operations or financial position for any period or date,
nor does it give effect to any matters other than those described in the notes
thereto. In addition, the allocation of purchase price to the assets and
liabilities of Manhattan Limousine is preliminary and the final allocation may
differ from the amounts reflected herein. The Pro Forma Consolidated Financial
Statements should be read in conjunction with the other financial statements
and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Prospectus.

                  CAREY INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
             NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
  To date, all of the Company's acquisitions have been accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting with the results of the acquired companies
included in the Company's statements of operations beginning on the date of
the acquisition.
 
 (1) Gives effect to the receipt of amounts due from the underwriters in
     connection with the issuance of 2,900,000 shares of Common Stock in the
     IPO and the issuance by the Company of 435,000 shares of Common Stock in
     connection with the underwriters' exercise of their over-allotment option
     in the IPO. After underwriting discounts and commissions and offering
     expenses of both the IPO and the over-allotment option exercise of $4.3
     million, the net proceeds of $30.7 million were applied to: (i) the
     repayment of certain existing debt of the Company of $7.1 million, (ii)
     the payment of the cash and note portions of the purchase price for the
     acquisition of Manhattan Limousine of $7.1 million and $4.7 million,
     respectively, (iii) the repayment of $3.5 million of debt assumed upon
     the acquisition of Manhattan Limousine and (iv) the redemption of certain
     preferred stock of the Company for $3.1 million and the repayment of
     subordinated debt of approximately $912,000 as part of the
     Recapitalization (see Note 4, below). The balance of the net proceeds,
     estimated to be approximately $4.3 million, will be added to working
     capital.
 
 (2) Gives effect to the repayment and conversion of $495,000 of debt into
     Common Stock at the election of the debt holders.
 
 (3) Gives effect to the acquisition of Manhattan Limousine for $14.2 million,
     as if such acquisition occurred on May 31, 1997. The adjustments reflect:
     (i) a cash payment of $7.1 million, (ii) promissory notes issued in the
     aggregate amount of $4.7 million and (iii) the issuance of $2.4 million
     of Common Stock. After taking into account all acquisition adjustments,
     the liabilities of Manhattan Limousine exceeded its assets. Accordingly,
     the allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair value of the
     assets and liabilities assumed resulted in the recognition by the Company
     of $20.4 million in goodwill. As part of the fair value allocation, the
     Company valued the facility at which Manhattan Limousine operates at its
     estimated fair market value of $1.1 million and certain radio frequencies
     used in the conduct of Manhattan Limousine's business at their estimated
     fair market value of $200,000.
 
 (4) Gives effect to the Recapitalization, which was implemented upon the
     closing of the IPO. Pursuant to the Recapitalization: (i) the $2.0
     million subordinated convertible note dated September 1, 1991, and $2.9
     million of the $3.8 million subordinated note dated July 30, 1992 were
     converted or exchanged for an aggregate of 1,046,559 shares of Common
     Stock, (ii) the Series A Preferred Stock was redeemed in part for $2.1
     million and converted in part into 86,003 shares of Common Stock, (iii)
     all of the Series F and 3,000 shares of the Series G Preferred Stock were
     redeemed for $1.0 million and (iv) the remaining Series G Preferred Stock
     and the Series B Preferred Stock were converted into an aggregate of
     1,427,509 shares of Common Stock.
 
 (5) Gives effect to the elimination from the Combined Statement of Operations
     of Manhattan Limousine of: (i) a one-time charge related to advances to a
     non-combined affiliate of Manhattan Limousine which were approximately
     $7,000 and $218,000 for the six months ended May 31, 1997 and the year
     ended November 30, 1996, respectively, (ii) redundant administrative and
     other costs immediately identifiable at the time of the acquisition
     (relating to salary and benefits of a stockholder of Manhattan Limousine
     and members of his family which will not be incurred by the Company) of
     approximately $40,000 and $591,000 for the six months ended May 31, 1997
     and the year ended November 30, 1996, respectively, and
     (iii) approximately $65,000 for the year ended November 30, 1996 of
     financing fees associated with debt retained by a stockholder of
     Manhattan Limousine.
 
 (6) Gives effect to (i) the amortization of approximately $340,000 and
     $680,000 for the six months ended May 31, 1997 and the year ended
     November 30, 1996, respectively, of goodwill recognized with respect to
     the acquisition of Manhattan Limousine, and (ii) $50,000 and $100,000 for
     the six months ended May 31, 1997 and the year ended November 30, 1996,
     respectively, of consulting fees to be paid pursuant to a consulting
     agreement entered into in connection with the acquisition of Manhattan
     Limousine. Goodwill will be amortized over a 30-year period.

       NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 (7) Gives effect to an increase in interest associated with the promissory
     notes in the aggregate amount of $4.8 million used to acquire Manhattan
     Limousine and the increase of $520,000 in Manhattan Limousine's mortgage
     note in January 1997, both of which were repaid out of the proceeds of
     the IPO. Also gives effect to a decrease in interest expense associated
     with the debt retained by a stockholder of Manhattan Limousine.
 
(8) Gives effect to the elimination of interest income related to a note
    receivable retained by a stockholder of Manhattan Limousine.
 
(9) Reflects the elimination of approximately $250,000 and $500,000 for the
    six months ended May 31, 1997 and the year ended November 30, 1996,
    respectively, of interest on certain debt converted into Common Stock.
 
(10) Reflects directors' and officers' insurance costs the Company anticipates
     to incur in connection with being a public registrant and the elimination
     of approximately $939,000 and $1.5 million for the six months ended May
     31, 1997 and the year ended November 30, 1996, respectively, of interest
     on certain current and long-term debt repaid from the proceeds of the IPO
     or converted into Common Stock.
 
(11) Reflects the estimated provision for income taxes at an assumed rate of
     42.0% and 42.3% for the six months ended May 31, 1997 and the year ended
     November 30, 1996, respectively, after giving consideration to
     nondeductible goodwill expense.
 
(12) Pro forma net income per share was computed by dividing the pro forma net
     income for the six months ended May 31, 1997 and the year ended November
     30, 1996 by the pro forma weighted average number of shares outstanding
     for each of the periods. Pro forma weighted average shares outstanding
     include common shares, common share equivalents and the equivalent number
     of shares (based on the public offering price less underwriters'
     commissions and discounts) necessary to give effect, as of December 1,
     1995, to the following: (i) the repayment of certain existing debt of the
     Company, (ii) the payment of the purchase price for the acquisition of
     Manhattan Limousine, (iii) the repayment of $3.7 million of debt assumed
     upon the acquisition of Manhattan Limousine, (iv) the redemption of
     certain preferred stock of the Company for $3.1 million and the repayment
     of subordinated debt of the Company in the principal amount of
     approximately $912,000 as part of the Recapitalization and (v) the
     redemption and conversion of $95,000 of convertible debt, the conversion
     of $4,867,546 of subordinated debt and the partial conversion of the
     Series A and G Preferred Stock into Common Stock. Pursuant to Securities
     and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 83, the
     common equivalent shares issued by the Company during the 12 months
     preceding the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to
     the Company's IPO, using the treasury stock method and the public
     offering price of $10.50 per share, have been included in the calculation
     of pro forma net income per share. All share numbers give effect to the
     reverse stock split of one-for-2.3255 that was part of the
     Recapitalization.

            NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. BACKGROUND AND ORGANIZATION
 
 General
 
  Carey International, Inc. (the "Company") provides services through a
worldwide network of owned and operated companies, licensees and affiliates
serving 420 cities in 65 countries. The Company owns and operates service
providers in the form of wholly-owned subsidiaries in the following cities:
New York (Carey Limousine NY, Inc.), San Francisco (Carey Limousine S.F.,
Inc.), Los Angeles (Carey Limousine L.A., Inc.), London (Carey UK Limited),
Washington, D.C. (Carey Limousine D.C., Inc.), South Florida (Carey Limousine
Florida, Inc.) and Philadelphia (Carey Limousine Corporation). In addition,
the Company licenses the "Carey" name, and provides central reservations,
billing, and sales and marketing services to its licensees. The Company's
worldwide network includes affiliates in locations in which the Company has
neither owned and operated locations nor licensees. The Company provides
central reservations and billing services to such affiliates.
 
 Acquisitions
 
  The Company is engaged in a program of acquiring chauffeured vehicle service
businesses. Such acquisitions include unrelated chauffeured vehicle service
businesses, some of which may be in cities in which the Company has owned and
operated service providers, licensees operating under the Carey name and
trademark and affiliates of the Company. In the first quarter of 1996, the
Company acquired a chauffeured vehicle service company operating in London,
England. As more fully discussed in Note 7, on June 2, 1997 the Company
acquired Manhattan International Limousine Network Ltd. and an affiliated
company ("Manhattan Limousine").
 
 Initial public offering and reverse stock split
 
  On February 25, 1997, the Board of Directors authorized management of the
Company to file a Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission permitting the Company to sell shares of its common stock in an
initial public offering (the "IPO"). As discussed in Notes 6 and 7, the
Company entered into an underwriting agreement and agreed to sell shares in
the IPO on May 28, 1997 and received the net proceeds from the sale on June 2,
1997. The net proceeds are shown as "amounts due from underwriters" in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Board of Directors, on February
25, 1997, also authorized a one- for-2.3255 reverse stock split of the
outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. The Company's stockholders
subsequently approved the reverse stock split. All references to common stock,
options, warrants and per share data have been restated to give effect to the
reverse stock split. Also on February 25, 1997, the Board of Directors
authorized a Recapitalization Plan (the "Recapitalization"), which is more
fully described in Note 6.
 
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
  The accompanying consolidated financial statements and these notes do not

which should be read in conjunction with these financial statements. For
further information, such as the significant accounting policies followed by
the Company, refer to the notes to the Company's audited, consolidated
financial statements.
 
  The financial information included herein has not been audited. However, in
the opinion of management, the statements reflect all adjustments (consisting

 Pro forma net income per common share
 
  Consistent with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin
("SAB") No. 1B-2, the Company has recalculated historical weighted average
common shares outstanding and net income per common share to give effect to
the Recapitalization (see Note 6). The recalculated net income per common
share is determined by (i) adjusting net income available to common
shareholders to reflect the elimination of interest expense, net of taxes,
resulting from the conversion of a portion of the subordinated debt into
common stock and (ii) increasing the weighted average common shares
outstanding by the number of common shares resulting from the conversion of
subordinated debt and the partial conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.
 
3. ACQUISITIONS
 
  In February 1996, the Company acquired the common stock of a chauffeured
vehicle service company in London, England for approximately $1,500,000.
Additional contingent consideration of up to $1,000,000 may be payable with
respect to the two years ending February 28, 1998 based on the level of
revenues referred to the acquired company by the seller. As of May 31, 1997,
the Company has paid approximately $550,000 in such contingent consideration
for the London acquisition.
 
  In the periods ended May 31, 1996 and May 31, 1997, the following
acquisition activity was recorded by the Company:

4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
  In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various legal
actions which are not material to the financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows of the Company.
 
  The Company, certain of the Company's subsidiaries and certain officers and
directors of the Company were named in a civil action filed on May 15, 1996 in
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania
entitled "Felix v. Carey International, Inc., et. al." The plaintiff's
complaint, which purports to be a class action, alleges that the plaintiff and
others similarly situated suffered monetary damages as a result of
misrepresentations by the various defendants in their use of a surface
transportation billing charge (the "STC"). The plaintiff seeks damages in
excess of $1 million on behalf of the class for each of the counts in the
complaint including fraud, negligent misrepresentation and violations of the
Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations law of 1970, which permits the
recovery of treble damages and attorneys' fees. The proposed class has
received preliminary certification by the court. The Company filed a motion to
dismiss that was denied, and subsequently has filed an answer denying any
liability in connection with this complaint. The Company is indemnifying and
defending its officers and directors who were named as defendants in the case,
subject to conditions imposed by applicable law.

<PAGE>
 
                  CAREY INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
      NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
  The Company has reached a tentative settlement with the plaintiff and
plaintiff's counsel, which has received preliminary court approval but is
subject to final court approval and acceptance by the proposed class. The
settlement calls for the Company to deposit up to $950,000 into a settlement
fund for a class consisting of all persons who paid the STC during the period
from May 15, 1992 through March 15, 1997. Following court approval of the
settlement, the Company will change its disclosure concerning the STC, and
each class member showing proper authentication of a claim shall be entitled
to receive either (i) cash totaling 10% of the STC paid during the period
described above or (ii) a nontransferable credit to be applied toward future
use of the Company's services in an amount equal to 30% of such STC. This
settlement has been agreed to by the plaintiff and plaintiff's counsel and has
received preliminary approval of the court, but there can be no assurance that
the proposed class will accept the settlement. The Company is indemnifying and
defending its officers and directors who were named defendants in the case,
subject to conditions imposed by applicable law.
 
  Although the Company does not believe the litigation described above will
have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and
results of operations, the defense of the litigation could be expensive and
time-consuming, regardless of the outcome, and, if the proposed settlement is
not approved and accepted, an adverse result in such litigation could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows.
 
5. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
 
  Net income per common share, on a historical basis, is as follows:

  Common equivalent shares are included in the per share calculations where
the effect of their inclusion would be dilutive. Common equivalent shares
consist of Series B, F and G preferred stock as well as substantially all of
the subordinated debt of the Company and the assumed exercise of vested
outstanding stock options and warrants. Pursuant to SAB No. 83, the common
equivalent shares issued by the Company during the twelve months preceding the
effective date of the Registration Statement relating to the IPO, using the
treasury stock method and the public offering price of $10.50 per share, have
been included in the calculation of net income per common share.
 
6. RECAPITALIZATION AND PRO FORMA BALANCE SHEET
 
  On February 25, 1997, the Board of Directors authorized the Recapitalization
of the Company to be effective upon the closing of the IPO. Under the

      NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
  On June 2, 1997, the Company received net cash proceeds from the IPO of
$28.3 million. Immediately following the receipt of the net proceeds, the
Company disbursed approximately (i) $7.1 million to repay certain indebtedness
of the Company, and (ii) $1.9 million to redeem certain preferred stock and to
repay a portion of subordinated debt under the Recapitalization (see Note 6).
A further $2.1 million subsequently was disbursed under the terms of the
Recapitalization in connection with the conversion and redemption of the
remaining preferred stock.
 
  Also on June 2, 1997, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of Manhattan Limousine for aggregate consideration of $14.2
million, composed of (i) $7.1 million in cash, (ii) $4.7 million in promissory
notes bearing interest at the rate of 8.0% per annum and payable one year from
the date of the acquisition, and (iii) 228,571 shares of common stock. In
connection with the acquisition, the Company also repaid approximately $3.5
million of Manhattan Limousine's indebtedness. The cash portion of the
purchase price and the repayment of indebtedness, amounting to approximately
$10.6 million, were funded from the proceeds of the IPO.
 
  After the IPO, the underwriters of the IPO elected to exercise their over-
allotment option in full. On June 6, 1997, the Company issued an additional
435,000 shares of common stock at the IPO price of $10.50 and received net
cash proceeds of approximately $4.3 million.
 
  Reference is made to the pro forma balance sheet included elsewhere in this
Registration Statement for the receipt of the proceeds from the issuance and
sale of 2,900,000 shares of Common Stock in the IPO and the issuance and sale
of 435,000 shares of Common Stock in connection with the underwriters'
exercise of their over-allotment option in the IPO and the application of
proceeds therefrom.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Carey International, Inc.
 
  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Carey
International, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of November 30, 1995 and 1996, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders'
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
November 30, 1996. 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 audits.
 
  We conducted our audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Carey
International, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of November 30, 1995, and 1996, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended November 30, 1996, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
 
  As discussed in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements, the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of November 30, 1995, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity
and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended November 30, 1995
have been restated for a change in the revenue recognition method.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. BACKGROUND AND ORGANIZATION
 
 General
 
  Carey International, Inc. (the "Company") is one of the world's largest
chauffeured vehicle service companies, providing services through a worldwide
network of owned and operated companies, licensees and affiliates serving 420
cities in 65 countries. The Company owns and operates service providers in the
form of wholly-owned subsidiaries in the following cities: New York (Carey
Limousine N.Y., Inc.), San Francisco (Carey Limousine SF, Inc.), Los Angeles
(Carey Limousine L.A., Inc.), London (Carey UK Limited), Washington, D.C.
(Carey Limousine D.C., Inc.), South Florida (Carey Limousine Florida, Inc.)
and Philadelphia (Carey Limousine Corporation, Inc.). In addition, the Company
generates revenues from licensing the "Carey" name, and from providing central
reservations, billing, sales and marketing services to its licensees. The
Company's worldwide network also includes affiliates in locations in which the
Company has neither owned and operated locations nor licensees.
 
 Acquisitions and franchises
 
  The Company is engaged in a program of acquiring chauffeured vehicle service
businesses, including licensees operating under the Carey name and trademark.
These acquisitions are accounted for as purchases. The carrying value of the
assets acquired is determined by the negotiated purchase price. In addition to
acquiring licensees operating under the Carey name, the Company has acquired
chauffeured vehicle service businesses in cities in which the Company
operates. In 1995, these acquisitions included chauffeured vehicle service
companies operating in Washington, D.C., Miami, West Palm Beach and San
Francisco. In 1996, the Company acquired a chauffeured vehicle service company
in London, England.
 
 Reverse Stock Split
 
  On February 25, 1997, the Board of Directors authorized management of the
Company to file a Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission permitting the Company to sell shares of its common stock in an
initial public offering (the "IPO"). The Board of Directors, at the same
meeting and subject to stockholder approval, authorized a reverse stock split
of approximately one-for-2.3255 of the outstanding shares of the Company's
common stock. A majority of the Company's stockholders have approved the
reverse stock split. All references to common stock, options, warrants and per
share data have been restated to give effect to the reverse stock split. The
Board of Directors also authorized a Recapitalization (see Note 18) on
February 25, 1997.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Basis of presentation
 
  The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of
the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated.
 
  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.
 
 Cash and cash equivalents
 
  The Company considers all short-term investments with original maturities of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.

                  CAREY INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

 Notes receivable from contracts
 
  An important component of the Company's operating strategy involves the
preferred use of non-employee independent operators chauffeuring their own
vehicles rather than employee chauffeurs operating Company-owned vehicles.
 
  Each independent operator enters into an agreement with the Company to
provide prompt and courteous service to the Company's customers with a
properly maintained, late model vehicle which he or she owns and for which he
or she pays all of the maintenance and operating expenses, including gasoline.
The Company, under the independent operator agreement, agrees to bill and
collect all revenues and remit to the independent operator 60% to 65% of
revenues, as defined in the agreement. Each new operator agrees to pay a one-
time fee generally ranging from $30,000 to $45,000 to the Company under the
terms of the independent operator agreement. Through 1996, the term of the
independent operator agreement generally ranged from 10 years to perpetuity.
(See "Revenue recognition").
 
  The Company typically receives a promissory note from the independent
operator as payment for the one-time fee due under the terms of the Standard
Independent Operator Agreement (see Note 4) and records the note in notes
receivable from contracts. The notes evidencing such financing generally were
sold on a non-recourse basis by the Company to third party finance companies
(see Note 11) in exchange for cash and promissory notes. Since September 1996,
the Company has ceased selling notes to third parties. Such promissory notes
due from finance companies have also been recorded in notes receivable from
contracts in the consolidated balance sheets.
 
 Concentration of credit risk
 
  Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable and notes receivable from contracts. The
Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with various financial
institutions. In order to limit exposure to any one institution, the Company's
cash equivalents are composed mainly of overnight repurchase agreements
collateralized by U.S. Government securities. Accounts receivable are
generally diversified due to the large number of entities comprising the
Company's customer base and their dispersion across many different industries
and geographies. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its
customers, and may require credit card documentation or prepayment of selected
transactions. Notes receivable from contracts are also geographically
dispersed and are supported by the underlying base of revenue serviced by each
respective independent operator (see Notes 4 and 11). The Company performs
ongoing evaluations of each independent operator's productivity and payment
capacity and has utilized third-party financing to reduce credit exposure.
 
 Fixed assets
 
  Furniture, equipment, vehicles, leasehold improvements and land and building
are stated at cost. Equipment under capital leases is stated at the lower of
the present value of minimum lease payments or the fair market value at the
inception of the lease. Depreciation on furniture, equipment, vehicles and
leasehold improvements is calculated on the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three to five years. The
building owned by the Company is depreciated over 40 years on a straight-line
basis. Sales and retirements of fixed assets are recorded by removing the cost
and accumulated depreciation from the accounts. Gains or losses on sales and
retirements of property are reflected in results of operations.
 
 Intangible assets
 
  Effective September 1, 1991, the Company acquired the Carey name and
trademark and the contract rights to all royalty fee payments by various Carey
licensees for a purchase price of $7 million. These assets are held by Carey
Licensing, Inc. and are being amortized over 40 years.

                  CAREY INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

  The Company has acquired chauffeured vehicle service companies, all of which
have been accounted for as purchases. For each business acquired which is a
licensee of the Company, the excess of cost over the fair market value of the
net assets acquired is allocated to franchise rights in the consolidated
balance sheet. With respect to acquired businesses which are not licensees of
the Company, the excess of cost over the net assets acquired is allocated to
goodwill. Additional purchase price attributable to the operating performance
of the acquired entities is recorded as goodwill or franchise rights when
determined (see Note 13). Goodwill and franchise rights are amortized over 30
years using the straight-line method. Such amortization is included in
selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of
operations. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its intangible assets
based on estimated undiscounted cash flows over the lesser of the remaining
amortization periods or calculated lives, giving consideration to revenue
expected to be realized. This determination is based on an evaluation of such
factors as the occurrence of a significant change in the environment in which
the business operates or the expected future net cash flows (undiscounted and
without interest). There have been no adjustments to the carrying value of
intangible assets resulting from this evaluation.
 
 Revenue recognition
 
  Chauffeured vehicle services--The Company's principal source of revenue is
from chauffeured vehicle services provided by its operating subsidiaries. Such
revenue, net of discounts, is recorded when such services are provided. The
Company, through the Carey International Reservation System ("CIRS"), has a
central reservation system capable of booking reservations on behalf of its
licensees and affiliates. Under most circumstances, central reservations are
billed by the Company to the customer when the Company receives a service
invoice from the licensee or affiliate that provided the service. At such
time, the Company also records the gross revenue for the transaction.
 
  Fees from licensees--The Company charges an initial license fee under its
domestic license agreement and records the fee as revenue on signing of the
agreement. The Company also charges its domestic licensees monthly franchise
and marketing fees equal to stated percentages of monthly revenues, as defined
in the licensing agreement. Monthly fees to domestic licensees are generally
less than 10% of the licensee's monthly revenues. The Company records such
fees as revenues as they are charged to the licensees.
 
  International licensees and the Company's domestic and international
affiliates historically have not paid fees to the Company, but have instead
given a discount on business referred to them through CIRS. Such discounts
reduce the amount of service invoices to the Company from such licensees and
affiliates for services provided to customers whose reservations have been
booked and invoiced centrally by the Company.
 
  Independent operator fees--The Company enters into contracts with
independent operators ("Standard Independent Operator Agreements") to provide
chauffeured vehicle services exclusively to the Company's customers. When
independent operator agreements are executed, the Company defers revenue equal
to the amount of the one-time fees and recognizes the fees as revenue over the
terms of the contracts or over 20 years for perpetual contracts. Upon
termination of an independent operator agreement, the remaining deferred
revenue associated with the specific contract, less any amounts due from the
independent operator deemed uncollectible, is recognized as revenue.
 
 Income taxes
 
  The provision for income taxes includes income taxes currently payable and
the change during the year in the net deferred tax liabilities or assets.
Deferred income tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the
differences between the financial statement and tax bases of liabilities and
assets using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences
are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the net
deferred tax asset, if any, to a level which, more likely than not, will be
realized.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 Pro forma net income per common share
 
  Consistent with Staff Accounting Bulletin 1B-2, the Company has recalculated
historical weighted average common shares outstanding and net income per
common share to give effect to the following matters pursuant to the
Recapitalization (see Note 18). The recalculated net income per common share
is determined by (i) adjusting net income available to common shareholders to
reflect the elimination in interest expense, net of taxes, resulting from the
conversion of $4,867,546 of subordinated debt into common stock and (ii)
increasing the weighted average common shares outstanding by the number of
common shares resulting from the conversion of such debt, as well as the
partial conversion of the Series A and G Preferred Stock.
 
 Stock-based compensation
 
  In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Boards issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS 123") Accounting for Stock-
Based Compensation, which is effective for the Company's financial statements
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. SFAS 123 allows companies
to either account for stock-based compensation under the new provisions of
SFAS 123 or under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25
("APB 25"), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The Company will
continue to apply the provisions of APB 25 and provide pro forma disclosure in
the notes to the financial statements.
 
 Foreign operations
 
  The Consolidated Balance Sheets include foreign assets and liabilities of
$3.7 million and $2.7 million as of November 30, 1996. The net effects of
foreign currency transactions reflected in income were immaterial. Assets and
liabilities of the Company's foreign operations are translated into United
States dollars using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and
results of operations items are translated using the average exchange rate
prevailing throughout the period.
 
 Reclassifications
 
  Certain accounts in 1994 and 1995 have been reclassified to conform with the
1996 presentation.
 
3. FEES FROM LICENSEES
 
  The total of all domestic license fees, franchise fees and marketing fees
earned in each of 1994, 1995 and 1996 was $1,466,588, $1,228,472 and
$2,180,540, respectively. Amounts due from licensees of $46,520 and $143,041
at November 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively, are included in accounts
receivable in the consolidated balance sheets of the Company.
 
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH INDEPENDENT OPERATORS
 
  The Company recorded approximately $1,153,000, $1,130,000 and $2,371,000 in
1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively, as deferred revenue relating to fees from
new agreements with independent operators. Amounts of deferred revenue
recognized as revenues in 1994, 1995 and 1996 amounted to approximately
$969,000, $889,000 and $936,000, respectively.
 
  Notes receivable from contracts include approximately $305,000 and $917,000
at November 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively, for amounts due from independent
operators and approximately $548,000 and $255,000 at November 30, 1995 and
1996, respectively, for amounts due from a related party financing company
(see Note 11).

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
  In the normal course of business, the Company's independent operators are
responsible for financing their own vehicles through third parties. From time
to time, the Company has arranged lease and purchase financing for certain
vehicles and has in turn leased back such vehicles to independent operators on
terms and conditions similar to those under which the Company is obligated (see
Note 5).

  Certain loan agreements, principally the Company's line of credit agreement,
contain restrictive covenants which include financial ratios related to
working capital, debt service coverage, debt to net worth and maintenance of a
minimum tangible net worth, and submission of audited financial statements,
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, within
120 days after the end of the fiscal year. Additionally, these covenants
restrict the Company's capital expenditures and prohibit the payment of
dividends on the Company's common and preferred stock, except for the Series E
preferred stock. The Company did not meet certain covenants related to the
timely submission of financial statements, working capital, debt to net worth
and maintenance of a minimum tangible net worth at November 30, 1996. The
Company obtained waivers for compliance with these covenants through and
including November 30, 1996.
 
  The carrying value of notes payable approximates the current value of the
notes payable at November 30, 1996. (See Note 17 for discussions of the fair
value for the subordinated debt). Interest paid during the years ended
November 30, 1994, 1995, and 1996 was approximately $1,358,000, $1,662,000 and
$1,682,000, respectively.

space and equipment, that expire over the next five years. Certain of the
Company's facilities are under operating leases which provide for rent
adjustments based on increases of defined indexes, such as the Consumer Price
Index. These agreements also typically include renewal options.

  A valuation allowance was provided in 1994 and 1995 to reduce the net
deferred tax asset to $0. In the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company concluded
that it was more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset would be
realized and therefore recorded a deferred tax benefit from the reversal of
the valuation allowance of $1,499,000.
 
  Income taxes paid during the years ended November 30, 1994, 1995 and 1996
amounted to $0, $10,375 and $210,437, respectively.

  At the option of preferred stockholders or upon the closing of an
underwritten public offering yielding net proceeds to the Company of at least
$10,000,000 and having an offering price of at least $14.81 per share, each
share of Series B, F and G preferred stock is convertible into the number of
shares of common stock equal to 500, 100 and 100 divided by the conversion
price, respectively. The conversion price as of November 30, 1996 was $7.216,
$7.406 and $7.406 for Series B, F and G preferred stock, respectively. The
Company has reserved 663,759, 135,025 and 633,393 shares of common stock,
respectively, for conversion of the Series B, F, and G preferred stock.
Antidilutive provisions lower the conversion price if certain securities are
issued by the Company at a price below the respective conversion prices then
in effect. The Company must redeem, on a pro rata basis, the outstanding
shares of Series A preferred stock plus for $100 per share any declared and
unpaid dividends upon the completion of an initial public offering yielding
net proceeds to the Company of at least $10,000,000. Series A, B and G
preferred stock have voting rights and Series F preferred stock is non-voting,
except under certain circumstances. (See Note 18 for discussion of the
Recapitalization, pursuant to which all of the preferred stock will be
redeemed or converted into common stock.)

11. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
  The Company has invested $750,000 in non-voting redeemable preferred stock
of a privately-held finance company formed for the purpose of providing
financing to the chauffeured vehicle services industry. This entity provides
financing to the Company's independent operators, without recourse to the
Company, for both automobiles and amounts due under independent operator
agreements. The Company sold $378,733, $1,762,345 and $1,015,897 of
independent operator notes receivable to this related-party finance company
for cash of $378,733, $1,290,899 and $733,793 and demand promissory notes of
$0, $471,446 and $282,104 in 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The unpaid
balances of the promissory notes were $547,930 and $255,664 at November 30,
1995 and 1996, respectively, and are included in notes receivable from
contracts. These promissory notes are due on demand and, generally, monthly
principal payments are received by the Company. These notes generally bear
interest rates of 7%.
 
  It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of the preferred stock
investment in a privately-held company. As a result, the Company's investment
in the privately-held finance company noted above is carried at its original
cost (less redemptions) of $750,000. At April 30, 1996, the total assets
reported by the privately-held company were $10,502,234 and stockholders'
equity was $1,108,448, revenues were $1,088,720 and net income was $96,681.
 
  Pursuant to a stock ownership agreement between the common stockholders of
the related-party finance company and the Company, the Company has an option
to purchase all of the outstanding common stock of the affiliate at $12,500
per common share or market value, if higher. The option is not exercisable
until April 15, 1998.
 
  A guarantee fee of $45,000 has been paid to both the Chairman of the Board
and the President of the Company for guaranteeing certain indebtedness (see
Note 6).
 
12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
  In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various legal
actions which are not material to the financial position, results of
operations or cash flows of the Company.
 
  The Company, certain of the Company's subsidiaries and certain officers and
directors of the Company were named in a civil action filed on May 15, 1996 in
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania
entitled "Felix v. Carey International, Inc., et al." The plaintiff's
complaint, which purports to be a class action, alleges that the plaintiff and
others similarly situated suffered monetary damages as a result of
misrepresentations by the various defendants in their use of a surface
transportation billing charge. The plaintiff seeks damages in excess of $1
million on behalf of the class for each of the counts in the complaint
including fraud, negligent misrepresentation and violations of the Racketeer
Influenced and Corrupt Organizations law of 1970, which permits the recovery
of treble damages and attorneys' fees. A class has not yet been certified in
this case. The Company filed a motion to dismiss that was denied, and
subsequently has filed an answer denying any liability in connection with this
complaint. The Company has agreed to indemnify and defend its officers and
directors who were named as defendants in the case, subject to conditions
imposed by applicable law. The Company has reached a tentative settlement with
the plaintiff and plaintiff's counsel, which is subject to court approval and
acceptance by the proposed class. The Company does not believe that this
litigation will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
 
13. ACQUISITIONS
 
  In December 1994, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of a
chauffeured vehicle service company in Boca Raton, Florida and consolidated
the operations within its existing operations in West Palm Beach.
Subsequently, the Company acquired an additional chauffeured vehicle service
company in Boca Raton

(in August 1995) and the Carey licensee in Fort Lauderdale--Miami (in April
1995) and consolidated the two additional businesses into the Carey South
Florida operations.
 
  In January 1995, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of the
Carey licensee in San Francisco, California ("Carey SF"). Subsequently, the
Company acquired the business of two additional chauffeured service companies
(in May and August 1995) and combined the acquired operations with those of
Carey SF.
 
  In April 1995, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of a
chauffeured vehicle service company in the Washington, DC area and combined
the acquired operations with those of Carey Limousine D.C., Inc.
 
  In February 1996, the Company acquired the common stock of a chauffeured
vehicle service company in London, England for approximately $1,500,000. The
acquisition was financed through the incurrence of $950,000 in debt and a
payment of $550,000. Additional contingent consideration of up to $1,000,000
may be payable with respect to each of the two years ending February 28, 1998
based on the level of revenues referred to the acquired company by the seller.
As of November 30, 1996, the Company has paid $278,304 in contingent
consideration in the acquisition of the London company. In addition, the
Company is required to pay a standard commission to the seller of the acquired
chauffeured vehicle service company for business referral, which will be
expensed as incurred.
 
  All acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases. The net assets
acquired and results of operations have been included in the financial
statements as of and from, respectively, the effective dates of the
acquisitions. The total consideration was allocated to the assets acquired
based upon their estimated fair values with any remaining consideration
allocated to either franchise rights or goodwill, as follows:

$291,755 in the years ended November 30, 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively, in
contingent consideration and increased goodwill by the same amounts (see Note
2) which is reflected in the table above.
 
  Of the total uncollateralized promissory notes issued to sellers in 1995,
two notes totaling $303,000 were subject to reduction based upon the results
of the acquired entities (see Note 6). The two notes were repaid in 1996 for
approximately $211,000 and the difference of approximately $92,000 reduced by
recorded goodwill.

15. STOCK OPTION PLANS
 
  On December 1, 1987, the Company established a Stock Option Plan (the "1987
Plan") that included all officers and key employees of the Company, non-
employee directors of the Company, and certain persons retained by the Company
as consultants. In accordance with the 1987 Plan, the Company's Board of
Directors may, from time to time, determine the persons to whom the stock
options are to be granted, the number of shares under option, the option price
and the manner in which payment of the option price shall be made. The 1987
Plan provides for the options to be exercised 25% each year beginning after
the year following the grant. The options are exercisable for a period of ten
years after the grant date. The total number of options authorized under the
1987 Plan is 195,656.
 
  On July 28, 1992, the Company established a Stock Option Plan (the "1992
Plan") that included all officers and key employees of the Company, non-
employee directors of the Company, and certain persons retained by the Company
as consultants. In accordance with the 1992 Plan, the Company's Board of
Directors may, from time to time, determine the persons to whom the stock
options are to be granted, the number of shares under option, the option
price, the time or times during the exercise period at which each such option
will become exercisable, and the manner in which payment of the option price
shall be made. The options are exercisable for a period of ten years after
grant date. The total number of options authorized under the 1992 Plan is
388,647.

  In May 1996, the options granted under the 1992 Plan and a warrant to
purchase 86,003 shares of common stock (see Note 6) were repriced to $4.65.
The options and warrant were repriced at the determined fair market value as
of the date of repricing (see Note 18).
 
  On February 25, 1997, the Board of Directors adopted the 1997 Equity
Incentive Plan and the Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors (see Note 18).
 
16. REVENUE RECOGNITION METHOD
 
  The Company enters into agreements with independent operators under which
the independent operator contracts to provide chauffeured vehicle services
exclusively to the Company's customers over a contract period pursuant to a
Standard Independent Operator Agreement. Upon signing the Standard Independent
Operator Agreement, the Company is entitled to receive a one-time fee from the
independent operator. Previously, the Company would recognize the one-time fee
as revenue upon signing of the independent operator agreement and when
collection of the fee was reasonably assured. In accordance with APB 20, the
financial statements have been retroactively restated to report such fees as
deferred revenue which are recognized as revenue over the terms of the
contracts (see Note 2). The effect of such restatements was to reduce 1994 and
1995 revenue, results of operations and stockholders' equity by $665,391 and
$1,144,511, respectively (net of income taxes of $0 and $586,680 for 1994 and
1995, respectively).

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

  Common equivalent shares are included in the per share calculations where
the effect of their inclusion would be dilutive. Common equivalent shares
consist of common shares issuable upon (a) conversion of Series B, F and G
preferred stock and (b) the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and
warrants. Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting
Bulletin (SAB) No. 83, the common equivalent shares issued by the Company
during the twelve months preceding the anticipated effective date of the
Registration Statement relating to the Company's initial public offering,
using the treasury stock method and an assumed public offering price of $11.00
per share, have been included in the calculation of net income per common
share.
 
  Net income (loss) available to common shareholders is the net income (loss)
for the fiscal year less accretion of dividends on the Series E preferred
stock of $8,750, $4,376 and $0 for 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
 
  In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (FAS 128). FAS
128 simplifies the existing earnings per share (EPS) computations under
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per Share," revises
disclosure requirements, and increases the comparability of EPS data on an
international basis. In simplifying the EPS computations, the presentation of
primary EPS is replaced with basic EPS, with the principal difference being
that common stock equivalents are not considered in computing basic EPS. In
addition, FAS 128 requires dual presentation of basic diluted EPS. FAS 128 is
effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December
15, 1997. The Company's pro forma basic EPS under FAS 128 would have been
$4.29 and dilutive EPS under FAS 128 would not differ significantly from the
reported pro forma net income per share.
 
18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
  On February 25, 1997, pursuant to an agreement reached in May 1996, the
Board of Directors authorized a recapitalization (the "Recapitalization"),
which will be implemented at the time of the IPO. Under the Recapitalization,
the $2,000,000 subordinated convertible note dated September 1, 1991 and the
$3,780,000 subordinated note dated July 30, 1992 will be converted or
exchanged for 1,046,559 shares of common stock and payment of $912,454. The
Series A preferred stock will be converted in part into 86,003 shares of
common stock and redeemed in part for $2,103,500. All of the Series F
preferred stock and 3,000 shares of the Series G preferred stock will be
redeemed for an aggregate of $1,000,000. The remaining preferred stock will be
converted into 1,427,509 shares of common stock. As a result of the
Recapitalization, preferred stock with a liquidation preference of $11,154,900
and subordinated debt with a principal amount of $5,780,000 will be converted
in part into 2,560,071 shares of common stock and repaid or redeemed in part
for $4,015,952 in cash. All of the cash amounts will be paid out of the
proceeds of the IPO.
 
  On February 25, 1997, the Board of Directors adopted the 1997 Equity
Incentive Plan (the "1997 Plan"). A total of 650,000 shares of common stock
are reserved for issuance under the 1997 Plan. The Board of Directors also
granted options to purchase at the IPO price a total of 411,500 shares of
common stock under the 1997 Plan, such grants to be effective upon the
execution of an underwriting agreement in connection with the IPO.
 
  Also on February 25, 1997, the Board of Directors, subject to stockholder
approval, adopted the Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "Directors'
Plan"). A total of 100,000 shares of common stock of the Company are reserved
for issuance under the Directors' Plan. Options to purchase at the IPO price a
total of 22,500 shares of common stock will be granted under the Directors'
Plan, such grants to be effective upon the execution of an underwriting
agreement in connection with the IPO.
 
  Also on February 25, 1997, the Board of Directors, approved amendments to
the Company's Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized
shares of the Company's Common Stock from 9,512,950 to 20,000,000, and
increasing the number of authorized shares of the Company's preferred stock
from 173,050 to 1,000,000.
 
  On March 1, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase the
stock of Manhattan International Limousine Network Ltd. and an affiliated
company (collectively, "Manhattan Limousine"). Manhattan Limousine is one of
the largest providers of chauffeured vehicle services in the New York
metropolitan area. The Company expects to consummate the acquisition at the
time of the IPO. If the acquisition of Manhattan Limousine is not completed by
June 2, 1997, the Company has agreed to pay additional purchase price in the
amount of $7,500 for each day after such date until the closing of the
acquisition, up to an aggregate of $675,000.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
 
To the Stockholders
 Manhattan International Limousine Network Ltd. and Affliliate
 
  We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Manhattan
International Limousine Network Ltd. and Affliliate (collectively, the
"Company") as of September 30, 1996, and the related combined statements of
operations and retained earnings (accumulated deficit) 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 our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Manhattan
International Limousine Network Ltd. and Affliliate as of September 30, 1996,
and the combined results of their operations and their cash flows for the year
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
  As discussed in Note 10 to the combined financial statements, the
accompanying combined balance sheet as of September 30, 1996, and the related
combined statement of operations and retained earnings (accumulated deficit)
and cash flows for the year then ended have been restated.

                    NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. BACKGROUND AND ORGANIZATION
 
  Manhattan International Limousine Network Ltd. and its wholly-owned
subsidiary (collectively, "MILN") are engaged primarily in the business of
providing chauffeured vehicle services in New York City and the surrounding
areas, and providing reservation and billing services to both individual and
corporate customers worldwide through an affiliation with a network of
independent chauffeured vehicle service companies. International Limousine
Network Ltd. ("ILN") is an affiliated company (the "Affiliate") engaged in
sales and marketing activities exclusively on behalf of MILN.
 
  The accompanying financial statements combine the accounts of MILN and ILN
because such entities are under common control. All intercompany transactions
have been eliminated. The combined entities are referred to herein as the
"Company."
 
  ILN operates on a calendar year. As a result, the accompanying financial
statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 1996 include the effects
of combining the financial statements of ILN as of and for the year ended
December 31, 1996.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
  The Company considers all short-term investments with original maturities of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
 Receivables from Independent Operators and Accounts Payable, Independent
Operators
 
  The Company enters into agreements with independent operators (franchisees)
under which the independent operator contracts to provide chauffeured vehicle
services exclusively to the Company's customers over the contract period. Upon
signing the agreement, the Company is entitled to receive a one-time fee from
the independent operator.
 
  The Company generally receives a minimal down payment from the independent
operator together with a promissory note (see Note 3) and records the note as
a receivable from the independent operator, but does not recognize revenue at
that time. (See Revenue Recognition.) In addition, the Company collects all
billings for services rendered by the independent operator and has the right
to withhold and remit, from the independent operator's earnings, all payments
due to the Company and certain third parties for, among other things, note
payments, two-way radio charges and lease obligations on vehicles, on a
monthly basis. The Company is then obligated to remit the balance of the
independent operator's earnings on a monthly basis. The unpaid balance due to
independent operators at the end of a given period is reflected as accounts
payable, independent operators in the accompanying balance sheet.
 
 Concentration of Credit Risk
 
  Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant
concentrations of credit risk include cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable and receivables from independent operators. The Company maintains
its cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions. Accounts
receivable are generally diversified due to the large number of entities
comprising the Company's customer base and their dispersion across many
different industries. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its
customers, and may require credit card documentation or prepayment of certain
transactions. Receivables from independent operators are supported by the
underlying base of revenues serviced by each respective independent operator.
The Company performs ongoing evaluations of the productivity and payment
capacity of each independent operator in order to manage its credit risk.

              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 Fixed Assets
 
  Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation on furniture, equipment,
vehicles and leasehold improvements is calculated on the declining balance
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the leaseholds,
generally three to five years. Buildings and improvements are depreciated on
the straight line method over 20 years. Sales and retirements of fixed assets
are recorded by removing the cost and accumulated depreciation from the
accounts. Gains and losses on sales of property are reflected in the results
of operations.
 
 Intangible Assets
 
  The Company owns Federal Communications Commission licenses to three radio
frequencies which it uses in the dispatch of vehicles used in its business.
The licenses have been fully amortized in prior years.
 
 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 as of 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.
 
 Revenue Recognition
 
  Service revenues include fees derived from chauffeured vehicle services
provided by the Company's independent operators. Revenue is recorded for
chauffeured vehicle services when those services are provided.
 
  When the Company enters into an agreement with an independent operator, the
Company defers revenue equal to the amount of the contract and recognizes
those fees over the term of the contract, typically 20 years. Amortization of
deferred revenue is also included in independent operator service revenues in
the accompanying combined statements of operations. Upon termination of an
agreement, the remaining deferred revenue associated with the contract, less
any amounts due from the independent operators deemed uncollectible, is
recognized as revenue immediately.
 
  As described above, the Company typically provides extended financing terms
to its independent operators for payment of the independent operator fee.
Interest income is recognized as earned over the term of the loan agreement
with the independent operator.
 
  The Company provides reservation services to its customers for service in
other locations through its affiliation with a network of independent service
companies. Revenue related to services provided by a member of the network is
recognized as chauffeured vehicle service revenue when a gross service bill is
received from the member. The corresponding liability to the member, reduced
by the Company's discount, is recorded as a cost of revenue by the Company at
such time.
 
 Income Taxes
 
  For MILN, the provision for income taxes includes income taxes currently
payable and the change during the year in the net deferred tax assets or
liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based
on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the
differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided to
reduce the net deferred tax asset, if any, to a level which, more likely than
not, will be realized.

  ILN has elected to be treated as an "S corporation" under provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code. As such, the income tax effects of ILN's operations are
borne directly by the stockholder, and no provision for ILN income taxes is
recorded in the accompanying financial statements.
 
 Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
 
  The combined financial statements as of and for the seven-month period ended
April 30, 1997 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, those unaudited
financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary to present the financial statements on a
basis substantially consistent with the annual audited financial statements
contained herein. All disclosures herein related to April 30, 1997 and for the
seven-month period ended April 30, 1997 are unaudited.
 
3. TRANSACTIONS WITH INDEPENDENT OPERATORS
 
  At the time the Company enters into an agreement with an independent
operator, the Company is entitled to receive a one-time fee. Those fees are
typically financed by the Company over 20 years at an interest rate of 15.75%
per annum. Independent operator fees are recognized as revenue ratably over
the terms of the agreements. In the opinion of management, the carrying value
of the loans approximates their fair value. Revenue recognized from
independent operator fees was $514,632 and $288,787 for the year ended
September 30, 1996 and for the seven-month period ended April 30, 1997,
respectively.
 
  The Company's independent operators are responsible for financing their own
vehicles through third parties. Under programs the Company has established
with several automotive leasing organizations, the Company guarantees lease
payments until the independent operator has made twelve monthly lease
payments. As of September 30, 1996, the Company's independent operators had
aggregate lease obligations of $2,203,158 under these programs.

</TABLE>
 
  During the year ended September 30, 1996 and the seven-month period ended
April 30, 1997, the Company took one-time charges related to advances to a
non-combined affiliate of approximately $218,000 and $7,000, respectively,
which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
 
8. CONTINGENCIES
 
  The Company is involved in various legal actions which arise in the normal
course of business. Management of the Company does not believe the ultimate
resolution of these actions will have a material effect on the financial
position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
 
9. MAJOR CUSTOMER
 
  The Company has one customer which accounted for approximately 18.0% of
service revenues for the year and seven-month periods ended September 30, 1996
and April 30, 1997, respectively.
 
10. RESTATEMENTS
 
  The Company enters into agreements with independent operators under which
the independent operator contracts to provide chauffeured vehicle services
exclusively to the Company's customers over a contract period. Upon signing
the contract, the Company is entitled to receive a one-time fee from the
independent operator. Previously, the Company recognized the one-time fee as
revenue upon signing of the agreement. In accordance with Opinion No. 20 of
the Accounting Principles Board, "Accounting Changes", the financial
statements have been retroactively restated to report such fees as deferred
revenue which are recognized as revenue over the terms of the contracts (see
Note 2). The effects of such restatements were to increase results of
operations and stockholders' equity by $5,996 for the year ended September 30,
1996. The Company uses a network of independent service companies to provide
chauffeured vehicle services to its customers. Certain previously unrecognized
costs related to these services have been retroactively recorded. The effects
of such restatements were to decrease results of operations by $301,984 for
the year ended September 30, 1996, and to increase stockholders' deficiency by
$432,671 as of September 30, 1996.
 
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
  On June 2, 1997, the stockholders of MILN and ILN sold their stock to Carey
International, Inc., a company providing chauffeured vehicle services.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Directors of Camelot Barthropp Limited (formerly Speed 6060 Limited):
 
  We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Camelot Barthropp Limited
as of December 31, 1995, and the related statement of operations for the
period from August 4, 1995 to December 31, 1995, all expressed in pounds
sterling. 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 United Kingdom auditing standards
which do not differ in any significant respect from United States generally
accepted auditing standards. These standards require that we plan and perform
our 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 presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Camelot Barthropp Limited as of December
31, 1995, and the results of its operations for the period from August 4, 1995
to December 31, 1995, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United Kingdom (which differ in certain respects from
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States--see note 16).

                       NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
            FOR THE PERIOD FROM AUGUST 4, 1995 TO DECEMBER 31, 1995
 
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
 
  The accompanying financial statements of Camelot Barthropp Limited
(previously Speed 6060 Limited) have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom ("U.K. GAAP"),
and are presented under the historical cost convention. These principles
differ in certain material respects from generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"); see note 16. All amounts are
expressed in pounds sterling ("(Pounds)").
 
  The accompanying financial statements do not represent the U.K. statutory
financial statements of Camelot Barthropp Limited, as certain
reclassifications and changes in presentation and disclosure have been made to
the U.K. financial statements prepared on a statutory basis in order to
conform, more closely with accounting presentation and disclosure requirements
applicable in the United States. The financial statements of Camelot Barthropp
Limited for the period from August 4, 1995 to December 31, 1995, on which the
auditors' report was unqualified, were the first prepared since its
incorporation. These were not full statutory financial statements and
therefore have not been delivered to the Registrar of Companies in England and
Wales.
 
  The ultimate parent undertaking of Camelot Barthropp Limited was The Savoy
Hotel PLC, a company incorporated under the laws of England throughout the
period from August 4, 1995 to December 31, 1995, of these financial
statements.
 
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
   USE OF ESTIMATES
 
  Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.K. GAAP 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 for an accounting period. Such estimates and assumptions could
change in the future as more information becomes known or circumstances alter,
such that Camelot Barthropp Limited's actual results may differ from the
amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements.
 
   DEPRECIATION
 
  Depreciation is provided so as to write off the cost being the market value
of motor vehicles acquired from a fellow subsidiary undertaking less the
estimated residual value of fixed assets over their expected useful lives.
 
  Depreciation on a straight line basis, mainly at the following annual rates:
 
<TABLE>
   <S>                       <C>
   Motor vehicles            --25%
   Furniture and equipment   --10%-20%
   Improvements to premises  --10%
</TABLE>
 
   INVENTORIES
 
  Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
 
   DEFERRED TAXATION
 
  Provision is made for deferred taxation using the liability method at
current taxation rates on all material timing differences to the extent that
it is probable that a liability or asset will crystallize.
 
   REVENUES
 
  Revenues represent the invoiced value of services provided, excluding sales
related taxes.

            FOR THE PERIOD FROM AUGUST 4, 1995 TO DECEMBER 31, 1995
 
   FOREIGN CURRENCIES
 
  Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies have been translated into
sterling at the rates ruling at the balance sheet date.
 
   OPERATING LEASES
 
  Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to operations on a straight
line basis over the lease term.
 
   PENSION COSTS
 
  The Company contributes into both defined benefit and defined contribution
schemes. An appropriate share of the costs of the pension schemes administered
by the parent undertaking, which are a defined benefit scheme and a defined
contribution scheme, are charged to operations for this Company in respect of
staff who are members of these schemes. Full details of these schemes are
disclosed in the financial statements of The Savoy Hotel PLC. The pension cost
charge for defined contribution schemes represents the amounts payable to
insurance companies in respect of the funds for the year to December 31.

            FOR THE PERIOD FROM AUGUST 4, 1995 TO DECEMBER 31, 1995
 
 
15. POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS
 
  The parent undertaking sold Camelot Barthropp Limited to Carey
International, Inc. for an initial consideration of (Pounds)788,843. Further
consideration of (Pounds)672,752 will become payable on the parent undertaking
providing certain thresholds of business for Camelot Barthropp Limited are
achieved during the period to March 31, 1998.
 
16. SUMMARY OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN U.K. AND U.S. GAAP
 
  The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom ("U.K. GAAP"). These
accounting principles differ in certain material respects from the accoounting
principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). Described
below are the material differences between U.K. GAAP and U.S. GAAP affecting
the net income and shareholders' equity which are set forth in the tables that
follow.
 
   TRANSFER OF ASSETS BETWEEN FELLOW SUBSIDIARIES
 
  Under U.K. GAAP, assets can be transferred from one subsidiary to a fellow
subsidiary with the same parent undertaking, at their fair value. The
difference between the fair value and the historical cost of these assets will
result in an intragroup gain or loss in the statement of operations of the
subsidiary selling the assets. The assets would remain at their fair value in
the subsidiary that acquired the assets and the associated depreciation charge
would be provided on these fair values. Under U.S. GAAP, assets can only be
transferred from one subsidiary to a fellow subsidiary with the same parent
undertaking, at their historical cost. As a result, under U.S. GAAP, no
intragroup gain or loss would arise from the transaction, the assets would
remain at historical cost and the associated depreciation charge would be
provided on these historical costs.
 
   ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES IN A "CARVE OUT" SITUATION
 
  Under U.K. GAAP, certain costs incurred by the parent undertaking may not be
reflected in the subsidiary financial statements; however, disclosure of this
fact is generally provided in the subsidiary financial statements. Under U.S.
GAAP, historical income statements of a subsidiary should reflect all costs
incurred by the parent undertaking on its behalf, such as officer salaries and
corporate overheads.
 
   DEFERRED TAXES
 
  Under U.K. GAAP, deferred taxation is accounted for using the liability
method to the extent that it is considered probable that a liability will
crystallize in the foreseeable future. Under U.S. GAAP, deferred taxation is
provided for on all temporary differences and carryforwards. Deferred tax
assets are recognised to the extent that it is more likely than not that they
will be realized. Where doubt exists as to whether a deferred tax asset will
be realized, an appropriate valuation allowance is established.
 
   STOCK SUBSCRIPTIONS
 
  Under U.K. GAAP the amount of the shares issued, including those issued
pursuant to a stock subscription receivable, is shown on the face of the
balance sheet. Any subscription receivable due on these shares would be shown
separately in the balance sheet. Under U.S. GAAP, the net amount of the shares
being the amount of the shares issued after deducting any subscriptions
receivable therefrom, is shown on the face of the balance sheet.

  (C)STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
 
  Under U.K. GAAP, wholly owned subsidiaries of a parent undertaking that are
established under the law of any European Community State are exempt from
including a statement of cash flows in their financial statements. Under U.S.
GAAP, the statement of cash flows is required and therefore is shown below:

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
  To the Directors of Speed 6060 Limited (formerly Camelot Barthropp Limited):
 
  We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Speed 6060 Limited as of
December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the related statements of operations for each
of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1995, all expressed in
pounds sterling. 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 audits.
 
  We conducted our audits in accordance with United Kingdom auditing standards
which do not differ in any significant respect from United States generally
accepted auditing standards. These standards require that we plan and perform
our 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 presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Speed 6060 Limited as of December 31, 1994
and 1995, and the results of its operations for each of the two years in the
period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United Kingdom (which differ in certain respects
from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States--see note
16).

  The Company has no recognized gains or losses other than the income (losses)
above and therefore no separate statement of total recognized gains and losses
has been presented.
 
  There is no difference between the income on ordinary activities before
taxation for the years stated above and their historical cost equivalents.
 
  The Company ceased trading at close of business on August 31, 1995 and
consequently the statement of operations for 1995 only reflects the results to
this date.

            SPEED 6060 LIMITED (FORMERLY CAMELOT BARTHROPP LIMITED)
 
                       NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1995
 
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
 
  The accompanying financial statements of Speed 6060 Limited (formerly
Camelot Barthropp Limited) have been prepared in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom ("U.K. GAAP"), and are
presented under the historical cost convention. These principles differ in
certain material respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States ("U.S. GAAP"); see note 16. All amounts are expressed in pounds
sterling ("(Pounds)").
 
  The accompanying financial statements do not represent the U.K. statutory
financial statements of Speed 6060 Limited, as certain reclassifications and
changes in presentation and disclosure have been made to the U.K. financial
statements prepared on a statutory basis in order to conform, more closely
with accounting presentation and disclosure requirements applicable in the
United States. The financial statements of Speed 6060 Limited for the year
ended December 31, 1995, on which the auditors' report was unqualified, were
the latest financial statements to have been delivered to the Registrar of
Companies in England and Wales.
 
  The ultimate parent undertaking of Speed 6060 Limited was The Savoy Hotel
PLC, a company incorporated under the laws of England throughout the period
being January 1, 1994 to December 31, 1995, of these financial statements.
 
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
   USE OF ESTIMATES
 
  Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.K. GAAP 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 for an accounting period. Such estimates and assumptions could
change in the future as more information becomes known or circumstances alter,
such that Speed 6060 Limited's actual results may differ from the amounts
reported and disclosed in the financial statements.
 
   DEPRECIATION
 
  Depreciation is provided so as to write off the cost less estimated residual
value of fixed assets over their expected useful lives.
 
  Depreciation is provided on a straight line basis, mainly at the following
annual rates:
 
<TABLE>
   <S>                       <C>
   Motor vehicles            --25%
   Furniture and equipment   --10%-20%
   Improvements to premises  --10%
</TABLE>
 
   INVENTORIES
 
  Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
 
   DEFERRED TAXATION
 
  Provision is made for deferred taxation using the liability method at
current taxation rates on all material timing differences to the extent that
it is probable that a liability or asset will crystallize.

                FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1995
 
   REVENUES
 
  Revenues represent the invoiced value of services provided, excluding sales
related taxes.
 
   FOREIGN CURRENCIES
 
  Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies have been translated into
sterling at the rates ruling at the balance sheet date.
 
   LEASES
 
  Assets held under capital leases are capitalized in the balance sheet and
are depreciated over their useful lives. The interest element of the
repayments is charged to operations over the period of the contract on a
straight line basis. Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to
operations on a straight line basis over the lease term.
 
   PENSION COSTS
 
  The Company contributes into both defined benefit and defined contribution
schemes. An appropriate share of the costs of the pension schemes administered
by the Parent Undertaking, which are a defined benefit scheme and a defined
contribution scheme, are charged to operations for this Company in respect of
staff who are members of these schemes. Full details of these schemes are
disclosed in the financial statements of The Savoy Hotel PLC. The pension cost
charge for defined contribution schemes represents the amounts payable to
insurance companies in respect of the funds for the year to December 31.

</TABLE>
 
  In 1995, the primary reason for the difference between the effective tax
rate (19%) and the nominal rate of UK corporation tax (33%) is that the
transfer of the traded assets of the Company was intra-group and therefore not
subject to corporation tax.

15.GUARANTEE
 
  The Company has entered into a Composite Accounting Agreement with Barclays
Bank PLC under which it has executed an unlimited guarantee in respect of the
bank overdraft and other banking facility of the Parent Undertaking and
certain Fellow Subsidiary Undertakings.
 
16.SUMMARY OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN U.K. AND U.S. GAAP
 
  The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom ("U.K. GAAP"). These
accounting principles differ in certain material respects from the accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). Described
below are the material differences between U.K. GAAP and U.S. GAAP affecting
the net income and shareholders' equity which are set forth in the tables that
follow:
 
  Transfer of assets between fellow subsidiaries
 
  Under U.K. GAAP, assets can be transferred from one subsidiary to a fellow
subsidiary with the same parent undertaking, at their fair value. The
difference between the fair value and the historical cost of these assets will
result in an intragroup gain or loss in the statement of operations of the
subsidiary selling the assets. The assets would remain at their fair value in
the subsidiary that acquired the assets. Under U.S. GAAP, assets can only be
transferred from one subsidiary to a fellow subsidiary with the same parent
undertaking, at their historical cost. As a result, under U.S. GAAP no
intragroup gain or loss would arise from the transaction, and the assets would
remain at historical cost.
 
  Allocation of expenses in a "carve out" situation
 
  Under U.K. GAAP, certain costs incurred by the parent undertaking may not be
reflected in the subsidiary financial statements; however, disclosure of the
fact is generally provided in the subsidiary financial statements. Under U.S.
GAAP, historical statements of operations of a subsidiary should reflect all
costs incurred by the parent undertaking on its behalf, such as officer
salaries and corporate overheads.

                FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1995
 
 
  Deferred taxes
 
  Under U.K. GAAP, deferred taxation is accounted for using the liability
method to the extent that it is considered probable that a liability will
crystallize in the foreseeable future. Under U.S. GAAP, deferred taxation is
provided for on all temporary differences and carryforwards. Deferred tax
assets are recognised to the extent that it is more likely than not that they
will be realized. Where doubt exists as to whether a deferred tax asset will
be realized, an appropriate valuation allowance is established.
 
 Proposed dividends
 
  Under U.K. GAAP dividends paid and proposed are usually shown on the face of
the statement of operations as an appropriation of current year earnings.
Proposed dividends are provided on the basis of recommendation by the
directors and may include dividends that are subject to subsequent approval by
shareholders before they are declared. Under U.S. GAAP, only dividends
approved during the current year are included in the statement of operations.
 
  The effect of the above noted differences between U.K. and U.S. GAAP are as
follows:

                                    PART II
 
                    INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
 
ITEM 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
  The Company is a Delaware corporation. Reference is made to Section 145 of
the DGCL, as amended, which provides that a corporation may indemnify any
person who was or is a party to or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the
right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good
faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful. Section 145 further provides that a corporation similarly may
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of
the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that
he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation,
or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement
of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or
she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware
Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall
determine upon application that, despite an adjudication of liability, but in
view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery
or such other court shall deem proper. The Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation further provides that the Company shall indemnify its directors
and officers to the full extent permitted by the law of the State of Delaware.
 
  The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company's
directors shall not be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent that
exculpation from liability is not permitted under the DGCL as in effect at the
time such liability is determined.
 
  The Certificate of Incorporation also provides that each person who was or
is made a party to, or is involved in, any action, suit, proceeding or claim
by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer or employee
of the Registrant (or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a
director, officer, trustee employee or agent of any other enterprise including
service with respect to employee benefit plans) shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the Registrant, to the full extent permitted by Delaware law, as
in effect from time to time, against all expenses (including attorneys' fees
and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts to be paid in
settlement incurred by such person in connection with the investigation,
preparation to defend or defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim.
 
  The rights to indemnification and the payment of expenses provided by the
Certificate of Incorporation do not apply to any action, suit, proceeding or
claim initiated by or on behalf of a person otherwise entitled to the benefit
of such provisions. Any person seeking indemnification under the Certificate
of Incorporation shall be deemed to have met the standard of conduct required
for such indemnification unless the contrary shall be established. Any repeal
or modification of such indemnification provisions shall not adversely affect
any right or protection of a director or officer with respect to any conduct
of such director or officer occurring prior to such repeal or modification.
 
  The Company maintains an indemnification insurance policy covering all
directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries.

  (B) FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULE:
 
  The following Financial Statement Schedule is filed as part of this
Registration Statement.
 
  Report of Independent Accountants
 
  Schedule VIII--Valuation and Qualifying Accounts
 
ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS
 
  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of
its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by
it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
 
    (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
  post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
      (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
    Securities Act of 1933;
 
      (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
    the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
    post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
    aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
    in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
    increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
    dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
    registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
    maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
    with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
    changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the
    maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
    Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
 
      (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
    distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
    any material change to such information in the registration statement.
 
    (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
  of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus
  shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the
  securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
  time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
    (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
  any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
  termination of the offering.
 
    (4) To respond to requests for information that is incorporated by
  reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of Form
  S-4, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the
  incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means.
  This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the
  effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding
  to the request.
 
    (5) To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information
  concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein,
  that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when
  it became effective.

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Carey International, Inc.
 
  In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements of

Guarantor (the "LOC Obligations").

purposes of computing the commitment fee on the unused portion referred to in
Section 2.09 hereof.
 
          (2) No letter of credit shall have an expiry date beyond the final
maturity of the Term Loans.

Banks, a commission of one percent (1%) per annum on the average daily maximum
amount available to be drawn under each letter of credit from the date of

($1,000,000), and provided further that no reduction shall be permitted if,
after giving effect thereto, and to any prepayment made therewith, the
outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the Loans shall exceed the

by crediting the amount thereof to the Borrower's account with the Agent. The
Borrower shall give the Agent notice of the Term Loan under this Agreement, at
least twenty (20) Business Days before each such Term Loan if all or a portion

received notice from a Bank prior to the date on which such Bank is to provide
funds to the Agent for a Loan to be made by such Bank that such Bank will not
make available to the Agent such funds, the Agent may assume that such Bank has
made such funds available to the Agent on the date of such Loan in accordance
with Section 2.04 and the Agent in its sole discretion may, but shall not be
obligated to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower
on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent such Bank shall not
have so made such funds available to the Agent, such Bank agrees to repay to the
Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest
thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the
Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at the customary
rate

                                      -11-

set by the Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business
Days and thereafter at the Prime Rate. If such Bank shall repay to the Agent
such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank's
Loan for purposes of this Agreement. If such Bank does not pay such
corresponding amount forthwith upon the Agent's demand therefor, the Agent shall
promptly notify each other Bank, and each other Bank shall immediately pay its
pro rata share of such corresponding amount to the Agent provided however that
no Bank shall be required to exceed the amount of its Commitment hereunder.  To
the extent that any such amount exceeds the Bank's Commitments hereunder, said
excess shall be immediately repaid to Agent by Borrower. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Agent shall make reasonable attempts to replace the Bank which failed
to pay such corresponding amount, provided however that Agent shall not be
obligated to find such a replacement.

     Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the
date on which any payment is due to the Banks hereunder that the Borrower will
not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made
such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent in its sole
discretion may, but shall not be obligated to, in reliance upon such assumption,
cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the
amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so
made such payment in full to the Agent, each Bank shall repay to the Agent
forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together with interest
thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank
until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Agent, at the customary rate
set by the Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business
Days and thereafter at the Prime Rate.

     SECTION 2.06   CONVERSIONS AND RENEWALS.  The Borrower may elect from
time to time to convert all or a part of one type of Loan into another type of
Loan or to renew all or part of a Loan by giving the Agent notice at least three
(3) Business Days before conversion into a Prime Loan, and at least three (3)
Business Days before the conversion into or renewal of a LIBOR Loan, specifying:
(1) the renewal or conversion date; (2) the amount of the Loan to be converted
or renewed; (3) in the case of conversions, the type of Loan to be converted
into; and (4) in the case of renewals of or a conversion into LIBOR Loans, the
duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto; provided that (a) the
minimum principal amount of each Loan outstanding after a renewal or conversion
shall be One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in the case of Prime Loans, and
Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) in the case of LIBOR Loans;
and (b) LIBOR Loans can be converted only on the last day of the Interest Period
for such Loan. The Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of each such notice.
All conversions and renewals shall be made in the proportion that each Bank's
Loan bears to the total amount of all the Banks' Loans. All notices given under
this Section 2.06 shall be irrevocable and shall be given not later than 12:00
P.M. prevailing time in New York on the day which is not less than the number of
Business Days specified above for such notice. If the Borrower shall fail to
give the Agent the notice as specified above for the renewal or conversion of a
LIBOR Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period with respect thereto, such
LIBOR Loan shall automatically be converted into a Prime Loan on the last day of

                                      -12-
<PAGE>
 
the Interest Period for such Loan.  A maximum of five LIBOR Loans may be
outstanding at any one time.

     SECTION 2.07 INTEREST. The Borrower shall pay interest to the Agent for the
account of each Bank on the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of that
Bank's Revolving Credit Loans made under this Agreement at a rate per annum as
follows:

     (1) For a Prime Loan at a rate equal to the Prime Rate; and

     (2) For a LIBOR Loan at a rate equal to the LIBOR Interest Rate plus Two
Percent (2%).

     The Borrower shall pay interest to the Agent for the account of each Bank
on the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of that Bank's Term Loan made
under this Agreement at a rate per annum based upon the ratio of Total Funded
Debt to Pro Forma EBITDA on the Conversion Date as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

Ratio of Total Funded
Debt to Pro Forma EBITDA    LIBOR Interest Rate PLUS    Prime Interest Rate PLUS
- ------------------------    ------------------------    ------------------------
<S>                        <C>                       <C>
Less than or equal to 1:00          2.25%                          .25%
to 1:00
 
Greater than 1:00 to 1:00           2.50%                          .50%
but less than or equal
to 1:50 to 1:00
 
Greater than 1:50 to 1:00           2.75%                          .75%
but less than or equal to
2:20 to 1:00
</TABLE> 

     At the Conversion Date, a fixed rate option may, subject to availability be
offered. If offered, it will be subject to yield protection language relating to
changes in reserve requirements, prepayment premiums, applicable law, taxes and
other factors. Such fixed rate option interest would be payable monthly and be
subject to all other terms of this Agreement. Borrower shall select an option
with respect to interest on the Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.04 hereof.

     Any change in the interest rate based on the Prime Rate resulting from a
change in the Prime Rate shall be effective as of the opening of business on the
day on which such change in the Prime Rate becomes effective.

     Interest on each Prime Loan shall be calculated on the basis of a year of
360 days for the actual number of days elapsed. Interest on each LIBOR Loan
shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of
days elapsed.

                                      -13-
<PAGE>
 
     Interest on the Loans shall be paid in immediately available funds to the
Agent at its Principal Office for the account of the applicable Lending Office
of each Bank as follows:

     (1) For each Prime Loan on the first day of each month commencing the first
such date after such Loan and continuing on the first day of each successive
month thereafter until all Revolving Credit Loans and all Term Loans have been
paid in full.

     (2) For each LIBOR Loan, on the first day of each month commencing on the
first such date after such Loan (as well as at maturity) and continuing on the
first day of each successive month thereafter until all Revolving Credit Loans
and all Term Loans have been paid in full.

     Agent may collect and Borrower will pay a late charge (to be shared pari
passu with all Banks) not to exceed five (5) percent of any installment of
principal or interest, or of any other amount due to the Agent which is not paid
or reimbursed by the Borrower within ten (10) days of the due date thereof to
defray the cost and extra expense involved in handling such delinquent payment
and the increased risk of non-collection.

     Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, or after
maturity, the interest rate for all Loans shall be 2% per annum in excess of the
interest rate in effect at the time of the Event of Default or maturity (the
"Default Rate") provided, however, said Default Rate shall not apply if such
Event of Default has been waived by the Agent, in writing.

     All agreements between Borrower, Guarantors and Subsidiaries and Banks
and/or Agent are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event
whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity of the indebtedness
evidenced hereby or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid for
the use or the forbearance of the indebtedness evidenced hereby exceed the
maximum permissible under applicable law. As used herein, the term "applicable
law" shall mean the law in effect as of the date hereof provided, however, that
in the event there is a change in the law which results in a higher permissible
rate of interest, then said Agreements shall be governed by such new law as of
its effective date. In this regard, it is expressly agreed that it is the intent
of all parties hereto in the execution, delivery and acceptance of said
Agreements to contract in strict compliance with the laws of the State of New
York from time to time in effect. If, under or from any circumstances
whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any of the Loan Documents
at the time of performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve
transcending the limit of such validity prescribed by applicable law, then the
obligation to be fulfilled shall automatically be reduced to limits of such
validity, and if under or from circumstances whatsoever Agents, Banks or any of
them should ever receive as interest and amount which would exceed the highest
lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to
the reduction of the principal balance evidenced hereby and not to the payment
of interest. This provision shall control every other provision of all
agreements between Borrower, Guarantors, Subsidiaries, Agents and Banks.

     SECTION 2.08   INTEREST RATE DETERMINATION.  The Agent shall give
prompt notice to the Borrower and the Banks of the applicable interest rate
determined by the Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

     SECTION 2.09   COMMITMENT AND OTHER FEES.  The Borrower agrees to pay to
the Agent for the account of each Bank a commitment fee on the average daily
unused portion of such Bank's Commitment from the date of this Agreement until
the Conversion Date at the rate of 0.375% per annum, payable on the last day of
each quarter during the term of such Bank's Commitment, the first such payment
to be due on September 30, 1997 and the final such payment to be due on the
Conversion Date.  Upon receipt of any commitment fees, the Agent will promptly
thereafter cause to be distributed such payments to the Banks in the proportion
that each Bank's unused Commitment bears to the total of all the Banks' unused
Commitments.  In addition thereto, a fee of .5% of the Total Facility shall be
payable at Closing, to be shared pari passu by all Banks.

     SECTION 2.10  NOTES.  All Revolving Credit Loans made by each Bank under
this Agreement shall be evidenced by, and repaid with interest in accordance
with, a single promissory note of the Borrower in substantially the form of
Exhibit A, duly completed, dated the date of this Agreement, and payable to such
Bank for the account of its applicable Lending Office, such Note to represent
the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Revolving Credit Loans, as the case
may be. Each Bank is hereby authorized by the Borrower to endorse on the
schedule attached to the Note held by it the amount and type of each Revolving
Credit Loan and each renewal, conversion, and payment of principal amount
received by such Bank for the account of its applicable Lending Office on
account of its Revolving Credit Loans, which endorsement shall, in the absence
of manifest error, be conclusive as to the outstanding balance of the Revolving
Credit Loans made by such Bank; provided, however, that the failure to make such
notation with respect to any Revolving Credit Loan or renewal, conversion, or
payment shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower
under this Agreement or the Note held by such Bank.

     All Revolving Credit Loans shall be repaid on the Conversion Date,
subject to Section 2.03 hereof. The proceeds of the Term Loans shall be applied
to the extent required to the payment in full of the then outstanding Revolving
Credit Loans, provided that all accrued interest shall be paid, and, if the then
outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans exceeds the
principal amount of the Term Loan, the amount of the excess shall also be paid.

     On and after the Conversion Date, the unpaid principal amount of the Term
Loan shall be repaid in sixty (60) consecutive monthly installments of principal
(plus accrued interest), each in an amount equal to one and two thirds percent
(1.66%) of the original principal amount of such Term Loan. The first such
installment shall be due on the first day of the first full month following the
Conversion Date with subsequent installments on the first day of each successive
month thereafter to and including August 16, 2004; provided, however, that the
last such installment shall be in the amount necessary to

                                      -15-
<PAGE>
 
repay in full the unpaid principal amount of such Term Loan, plus all accrued
interest, if any, and such other amounts as may be payable thereon.

     SECTION 2.11  PREPAYMENTS.  The Borrower may, upon at least three (3)
Business Days' notice to the Agent in the case of Prime Loans and at least three
(3) Business Days' notice to the Agent in the case of LIBOR Loans, prepay the
Notes in whole or in part with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment
on the amount prepaid, provided that (1) each partial payment shall be in a
principal amount of not less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000); (2)
LIBOR Loans may be prepaid only on the last day of the Interest Period for such
Loans and upon terms set forth in Section 2.18 hereof; and (3) in the case of
the Term Notes, prepayments shall be applied to the principal installments of
the Term Notes in the inverse order of their maturities. Upon receipt of any
such prepayments, the Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed
such prepayment to each Bank for the account of its applicable Lending Office in
the proportion that each such Bank's Loan to which the prepayment applies bears
to the total amount of all the Banks' Loans to which the prepayment applies.

     SECTION 2.12  METHOD OF PAYMENT.  The Borrower shall make each payment
under this Agreement and under the Notes not later than 12:00 P.M. prevailing
time in New York on the date when due in lawful money of the United States to
the Agent at its Principal Office for the account of the applicable Lending
Office of each Bank in immediately available funds. The Agent will promptly
thereafter cause to be distributed (1) such payments of principal and interest
in like funds to each Bank for the account of its applicable Lending Office in
the proportion that such Bank's Loans to which the payment applies bears to the
total amount of all Banks' Loans to which the payment applies and (2) other fees
payable to any Bank to be applied in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. The Borrower hereby authorizes each Bank, if and to the extent
payment is not made when due under this Agreement or under the Notes, to charge
from time to time against any account of the Borrower with such Bank any amount
as due. Whenever any payment to be made under this Agreement or under the Notes
shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall
be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be
included in the computation of the payment of interest and the commitment fee,
as the case may be, except, in the case of a LIBOR Loan, if the result of such
extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, such
payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

     SECTION 2.13 USE OF PROCEEDS. The proceeds of the Loan hereunder shall be
used by the Borrower

     (1) To finance Permitted Acquisitions of companies engaged in the
chauffeured vehicle service industry;

     (2) To provide for up to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) of Working
Capital inclusive of transaction fees and expenses; and

                                      -16-
<PAGE>
 
     (3) To prepay or reimburse the Borrower's prepayment of up to Four
Million Seven Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars ($4,740,000) in notes issued in
connection with an acquisition of Manhattan International Limousine Network Ltd.


     The Borrower will not, directly or indirectly, use any part of such
proceeds for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock within the
meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
or to extend credit to any Person for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any
such margin stock, or for any purpose which violates, or is inconsistent with,
Regulation X of such Board of Governors.

     SECTION 2.14  ILLEGALITY.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Agreement, if any Bank determines that any applicable law, rule, or regulation,
or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such
Bank (or its Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not
having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable
agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for such Bank (or its Lending
Office) to maintain or fund its LIBOR Loans, then upon notice to the Borrower
(with a copy to the Agent) by such Bank the outstanding principal amount of all
LIBOR Loans, together with interest accrued thereon, and any other amounts
payable to each Bank under this Agreement shall be converted to a Prime Loan (a)
immediately upon demand of such Bank if such change or compliance with such
request, in the judgment of such Bank, requires immediate repayment, or (b) at
the expiration of the last Interest Period to expire before the effective date
of any such change or request.

     SECTION 2.15 DISASTER. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein:

         (1) If the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive)
that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the
definition of LIBOR Interest Rate, as the case may be, are not being provided in
the relevant amounts or for the relative maturities for purposes of determining
the rate of interest on a LIBOR Loan as provided in this Agreement; or

         (2) If the Majority Banks determine (which determination shall be
conclusive) that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of
LIBOR Interest Rate, upon the basis of which the rate of interest for any such
type of Loan is to be determined do not accurately cover the cost to the Banks
of making or maintaining such type of Loans; then the Agent shall forthwith give
notice thereof to the Borrower, whereupon (a) the obligation of the Banks to
make LIBOR Loans, shall be suspended until the Agent notifies the Borrower that
the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, and (b) the
outstanding principal amount of each LIBOR Loan, as the case may be, together
with accrued interest thereon, on the last day of the then current Interest
Period applicable to such Loan, shall be converted to a Prime Loan.

                                      -17-
<PAGE>
 
     SECTION 2.16  INCREASED COST.  From time to time upon notice to the
Borrower from a Bank (with a copy to the Agent) the Borrower shall pay to the
Agent for the account of the applicable Bank such amounts as any Bank may
determine to be necessary to compensate such Bank for any costs incurred by such
Bank which such Bank determines are attributable to its making or maintaining
any LIBOR Loans hereunder or its obligation to make any such Loans hereunder, or
any reduction in any amount receivable by such Bank under this Agreement or its
Note in respect of any such Loans or such obligation (such increases in costs
and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called "Additional Costs"),
resulting from any change after the date of this Agreement in U.S. federal,
state, municipal, or foreign laws or regulations (including Regulation D), or
the adoption or making after such date of any interpretations, directives, or
requirements applying to a class of banks including such Bank of or under U.S.
federal, state, municipal, or foreign laws or regulations (whether or not having
the force of law) by any court or governmental or monetary authority charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof ("Regulatory Change"), which:
(1) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Bank under this
Agreement or its Note in respect of any of such Loans (other than taxes imposed
on the overall net income of such Bank or of its Lending Office for any of such
Loans by the jurisdiction where the Principal Office or such Lending Office is
located); or (2) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, compulsory
loan, or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other
assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Bank (including
any of such Loans or any deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR
Interest Rate); or (3) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or
its Note (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities).  Each Bank will
notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) of any event occurring after the
date of this Agreement which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to
this Section 2.16 as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof
and determines to request such compensation.

     Determinations by any Bank for purposes of this Section 2.16 of the effect
of any Regulatory Change on its costs of making or maintaining Loans or on
amounts receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the additional amounts
required to compensate any such Bank in respect of any Additional Costs, shall
be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis.

     SECTION 2.17  RISK-BASED CAPITAL.  In the event that any Bank determines
that (1) compliance with any judicial, administrative, or other governmental
interpretation of any law or regulation or (2) compliance by such Bank or any
corporation controlling such Bank with any guideline or request from any central
bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law)
has the effect of requiring an increase in the amount of capital required or
expected to be maintained by such Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank,
and such Bank determines that such increase is based upon its obligations
hereunder, and other similar obligations, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent,
for the account of the applicable Bank, such additional amount as shall be
certified by the Bank to be the amount allocable to such Bank's obligations to
the Borrower hereunder. Such Bank will notify the Borrower (with a copy to the
Agent) of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle
such Bank to compensation pursuant to this

                                      -18-
<PAGE>
 
Section 2.17 as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and
determines to request such compensation.

     Determinations by any Bank for purposes of this Section 2.17 of the
effect of any increase in the amount of capital required to be maintained by
such Bank and of the amount allocable to such Bank's obligations to the Borrower
hereunder shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a
reasonable basis.

     SECTION 2.18  FUNDING LOSS INDEMNIFICATION.  Upon notice to the Borrower
from a Bank (with a copy to the Agent) the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for
the account of the applicable Bank, such amount or amounts as shall be
sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Bank) to compensate it for any
loss, cost, or expense incurred as a result of:

     (1)  Any payment of a LIBOR Loan by the Borrower on a date other than the
          last day of the Interest Period for such Loan including, but not
          limited to acceleration of the Loans by the Agent pursuant to Section
          8.01; or

     (2)  Any failure by the Borrower to borrow or convert, as the case may be,
          a LIBOR Loan on the date for borrowing or conversion, as the case may
          be, specified in the relevant notice under Section 2.04 or 2.06, as
          the case may be.

     If, at any time (i) the interest rate on any loan is a fixed rate, and (ii)
Agent in its sole discretion should determine that current market conditions can
accommodate a prepayment request, Borrower shall have the right at any time and
from time to time to prepay the loan in whole (but not in part), and Borrower
shall pay to Agent a yield maintenance fee in an amount computed as follows:
The current rate for United States Treasury securities (bills on a discounted
basis shall be converted to a bond equivalent) with a maturity date closest to
the maturity date of the term chosen pursuant to the fixed rate election as to
which the prepayment is made, shall be subtracted from the "cost of funds"
component of the fixed rate in effect at the time of prepayment.  If the result
is zero or a negative number, there shall be no yield maintenance fee.  If the
result is a positive number, then the resulting percentage shall be multiplied
by the amount of the principal balance being prepaid.  The resulting amount
shall be divided by 360 and multiplied by the number of days remaining in the
designated term and using the above-referenced United States Treasury security
rate and the number of days remaining in the term chosen pursuant to the fixed
rate election as to which the prepayment is made.  The resulting amount shall be
the yield maintenance fee due to Agent upon prepayment of the fixed rate loan.
Each reference in this paragraph to "fixed rate" election shall mean the
election by Borrower of a LIBOR Loan or with respect to the Term Loan, a fixed
rate loan.

     If by reason of an Event of Default Agent elects to declare any fixed rate
loan to be immediately due and payable, then any yield maintenance fee with
respect to said fixed rate loan shall become due and payable in the same manner
as though Borrower had exercised such right of prepayment.

such Bank may have.

                               AGENCY PROVISIONS

     SECTION 9.01   AUTHORIZATION AND ACTION.  Each Bank hereby irrevocably
appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and
to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by
the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in
nature and the Agent shall not by reason of this Agreement be a trustee or
fiduciary for any Bank. The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities
except those expressly set forth herein.  Agent shall furnish each Bank with
copies of any financial reports received by Agent pursuant to paragraphs
5.08(1), 5.08(2), 5.08(4) and 5.08(7), promptly after receipt thereof by Agent.
As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including,
without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Notes), the Agent shall not
be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required
to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or
so refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Majority Banks, and such
instructions shall be binding upon all Banks and all holders of Notes;

                                      -41-
<PAGE>
 
provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to take any action which
exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement
or applicable law.

     SECTION 9.02   LIABILITY OF AGENT.  Neither the Agent nor any of its
directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement in
the absence of its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without
limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Agent (1) may treat the payee
of any Note as the holder thereof until the Agent receives written notice of the
assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to
the Agent; (2) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the
Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and
shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by
it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants, or experts; (3)
makes no warranty or representation to any Bank and shall not be responsible to
any Bank for any statements, warranties, or representations made in or in
connection with this Agreement; (4) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to
inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants, or
conditions of this Agreement on the part of the Borrower, or to inspect the
property (including the books and records) of the Borrower; (5) shall not be
responsible to any Bank for the due execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, perfection, sufficiency, or value of this Agreement
or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; and (6) shall
incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any
notice, consent, certificate, or other instrument or writing (which may be sent
by telegram, telex, or facsimile transmission) believed by it to be genuine and
signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

     SECTION 9.03   RIGHTS OF AGENT AS A BANK.  With respect to its Commitment,
the Loans made by it and the Note issued to it, the Agent shall have the same
rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise the
same as though it were not the Agent; and the term "Bank" or "Banks" shall,
unless otherwise expressly indicated, include the Agent in its individual
capacity. The Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to,
act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business
with, the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries and any Person who may do business
with or own securities of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, all as if the Agent
were not the Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Banks.

     SECTION 9.04   INDEPENDENT CREDIT DECISIONS.  Each Bank acknowledges that
it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or
any other Bank and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or
not taking action under this Agreement. Except for notices, reports and other
documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by the
Agent hereunder, the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any
Bank with any credit or other information concerning the

                                      -42-
<PAGE>
 
affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries (or any of their Affiliates) which may come into the possession of
the Agent or any of its Affiliates.

     SECTION 9.05   INDEMNIFICATION.  The Banks agree to indemnify the Agent (to
the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), ratably according to the respective
amounts of their Commitments, from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed
on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising
out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this
Agreement, provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of any of the
foregoing resulting from the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Without limitation of the foregoing, each Bank agrees to reimburse the Agent (to
the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) promptly upon demand for its ratable
share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred
by the Agent in connection with the preparation, administration, or enforcement
of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this
Agreement.

     SECTION 9.06   SUCCESSOR AGENT.  The Agent may resign at any time by giving
at least 60 days' prior written notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower and
may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Majority Banks. Upon any
such resignation or removal, the Majority Banks shall have the right to appoint
a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the
Majority Banks, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after
the retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Majority Banks'
removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the
Banks, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized
under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and
having a combined capital and surplus of at least One Billion Dollars
($1,000,000,000).  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by
a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent,
and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under
this Agreement. After any retiring Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as
Agent, the provisions of this Article IX shall inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this
Agreement.

     SECTION 9.07   SHARING OF PAYMENTS, ETC.  If any Bank shall obtain any
payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of
setoff, or otherwise) on account of the Note held by it in excess of its ratable
share of payments on account of the Notes obtained by all the Banks, such Bank
shall purchase from the other Banks such participations in the Notes held by
them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share the excess
payment ratably with each of the other Banks, provided, however, that if all or
any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing
Bank, such purchase from each Bank shall be rescinded and each Bank shall repay
to the purchasing Bank the purchase price to the extent of such recovery
together with an amount equal to such Bank's ratable share (according to the
proportion of (1) the amount of such Bank's required repayment to (2) the total
amount

                                      -43-
<PAGE>
 
so recovered from the purchasing Bank) of any interest or other amount paid or
payable by the purchasing Bank in respect of the total amount so recovered. The
Borrower agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation from another Bank
pursuant to this Section 9.07 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect
to such participation as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of the
Borrower in the amount of such participation.

     SECTION 9.08   AGENT SALE OR ASSIGNMENT.  Agent shall have the unrestricted
right at any time or from time to time, and without Borrower's or any
Guarantor's or any Subsidiary's and any Bank's consent, to assign all or any
portion of its rights and obligations hereunder to one or more banks or other
financial institutions (each, an "Assignee"), and Borrower and each Guarantor
and each Subsidiary agrees that it shall execute, or cause to be executed, such
documents, including without limitation, amendments to this Agreement and to any
other documents, instruments and agreements executed in connection herewith as
Agent shall deem necessary to effect the foregoing.  In addition, at the request
of Agent and any such Assignee, Borrower shall issue one or more new promissory
notes, as applicable, to any such Assignee and, if Agent has retained any of its
rights and obligations hereunder following such assignment, to Agent, which new
promissory notes shall be issued in replacement of, but not in discharge of, the
liability evidenced by the promissory note held by Agent prior to such
assignment and shall reflect the amount of the respective commitments and loans
held by such Assignee and Agent after giving effect to such assignment. Upon the
execution and delivery of appropriate assignment documentation, amendments and
any other documentation required by Agent in connection with such assignment,
and the payment by Assignee of the purchase price agreed to by Agent, and such
Assignee, such Assignee shall be party to this Agreement and shall have all of
the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder (and under any and all other
guaranties, documents, instruments and agreements executed in connection
herewith) to the extent that such rights and obligations have been assigned by
Agent pursuant to the assignment documentation between Agent and such Assignee,
and Agent shall be released from its obligations hereunder and thereunder to a
corresponding extent.

     Agent shall have the unrestricted right at any time and from time to time,
and without the consent of or notice to Borrower or any Guarantor or any
Subsidiary or any Bank, to grant to one or more banks or other financial
institutions (each, a "Participant") participating interests in Agent's
obligation to lend hereunder and/or any or all of the Loans held by Agent
hereunder.  In the event any such grant by Agent of a participating interest to
a Participant, whether or not upon notice to Borrower, Agent shall remain
responsible for the performance of its obligation hereunder and Borrower shall
continue to deal solely and directly with Agent in connection with Agent's
rights and obligations hereunder.

     Agent may furnish any information concerning Borrower in its possession
from time to time to prospective Assignees and Participants, provided that Agent
shall require any such prospective Assignee or Participant to agree in writing
to maintain the confidentiality of such information.  Except for the rights of
Agent as aforesaid, no Bank shall have the

                                      -44-
<PAGE>
 
right to assign all or any portion of any of the loans held by such Bank
hereunder or to sell or to grant any participation interest therein of any kind
without prior written consent of Agent.

                                  ARTICLE X.

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

     SECTION 10.01  AMENDMENTS, ETC.  No amendment, modification, termination,
or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document to which the Borrower is a
party, nor consent to any departure by the Borrower from any Loan Document to
which it is a party, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in
writing and signed by the Majority Banks, and then such waiver or consent shall
be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for
which given, provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall,
unless in writing and signed by all the Banks, do any of the following: (1)
waive any of the conditions precedent specified in Article III; (2) increase the
Commitments of the Banks or subject the Banks to any additional obligations; (3)
reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees hereunder; (4)
postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the
Notes or any fees hereunder; (5) change the Facility Amount; (6) release any
Collateral; (7) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate
unpaid principal amount of the Notes or the number of Banks which shall be
required for the Banks or any of them to take action hereunder; (8) waive any
Event of Default arising and continuing under Section 8.01(1) or 8.01(2) hereof;
or (9) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 10.01, and provided
further than no amendment, waiver, or consent shall, unless in writing and
signed by the Agent in addition to the Banks required above to take such action,
affect the rights or duties of the Agent under any of the Loan Documents.

of this Section 10.02.  Except as is otherwise provided in this Agreement, all
such notices and communications shall be effective when received.

     SECTION 10.03  NO WAIVER.  No failure or delay on the part of any Bank or
the Agent in exercising any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right,
power, or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power, or remedy hereunder. The rights and remedies provided
herein are cumulative, and are not exclusive of any other rights, powers,
privileges, or remedies, now or hereafter existing, at law or in equity or
otherwise.

     SECTION 10.04  SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  The Agreement shall be binding upon

party without the prior written consent of all the Banks.

demand all costs and expenses incurred by the Agent and each Bank in connection
with the preparation, execution, delivery, filing, and administration of the
Loan Documents, and of any amendment, modification, or supplement to the Loan
Documents, including, without limitation, the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of
counsel for the Agent, incurred in connection with advising the Agent or any of
the Banks as to their rights and responsibilities hereunder. The Borrower also
agrees to pay all such costs and expenses, including court costs and reasonable
attorneys fees, incurred in connection with enforcement of the Loan Documents,
or any amendment, modification, or supplement thereto, whether by negotiation,
legal proceedings, or otherwise. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any and all
stamp and other taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection
with the execution, delivery, filing, and recording of any of the Loan Documents
and the other documents to be delivered under any such Loan Documents, and
agrees to hold the Agent and each of the Banks harmless from and against any and
all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or failing
to pay such taxes and fees. This provision shall survive termination of this

     SECTION 10.07  INDEMNITY. The Borrower, each Subsidiary and each Guarantor
hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Agent and each Bank harmless from
and against any and all claims, damages, judgments, penalties, costs, and
expenses (including reasonable attorney fees and court costs now or hereafter
arising from the aforesaid enforcement of this clause) arising directly or
indirectly from the activities of the Borrower, or any Subsidiaries or any
Guarantor, their predecessors in interest, or third parties with whom any of
them has a contractual relationship, or arising directly or indirectly from the

                                      -46-
<PAGE>
 
violation of any environmental protection, health, or safety law, whether such
claims are asserted by any governmental agency or any other person or arising
from this Agreement or the loans made hereunder except for those caused by
Agent's negligence or willful misconduct.  This indemnity shall survive
termination of this Agreement.

     SECTION 10.08  GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement and the Notes shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New
York.

     SECTION 10.09  SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS.  Any provision of any Loan
Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to
such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of such Loan
Document or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any
other jurisdiction.

     SECTION 10.10  COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts and by different parties to this Agreement in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original
and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

     SECTION 10.11  HEADINGS.  Article and Section headings in the Loan
Documents are included in such Loan Documents for the convenience of reference
only and shall not constitute a part of the applicable Loan Documents for any
other purpose.

     SECTION 10.12  JURY TRIAL WAIVER; JURISDICTION, ETC.  THE BORROWER AND EACH
GUARANTOR AND SUBSIDIARY HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION/ PROCEEDING,
CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, ARISING
OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. NO OFFICER
OF ANY BANK OR OF THE AGENT HAS AUTHORITY TO WAIVE, CONDITION, OR MODIFY THIS
PROVISION.  BORROWER HEREBY FURTHER AGREES THAT THE FOLLOWING COURTS:

     State Court -  Any state or local court of the State of New York

     Federal Court - United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York

or at the option of Agent, any court in which Agent shall initiate legal or
equitable proceedings and which has subject matter jurisdiction over the matter
in controversy, shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any claims or
disputes between Borrower and Agent pertaining directly or indirectly to this
Agreement or to any matter arising in connection with this Agreement.  Borrower
expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or
proceeding commenced in such courts, hereby waiving personal service of the
summons and complaint, or other process of papers issued therein, and agreeing
that service of such summons and complaint, or other process or papers, may be
made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the address set
forth herein.  Should Borrower fail to appear or answer any summons, complaint,
process or papers so served within thirty (30) days after the mailing thereof,
it shall be

                                      -47-
<PAGE>
 
deemed in default and an order and/or judgment may be entered against it as
demanded or prayed for in such summons, complaint, process or papers.  Agent may
have rights against Borrower, now or in the future, in its capacity as secured
party, creditor, or in any other capacities.  Such rights may include the right
to deprive Borrower of or affect the use of or possession or enjoyment of
Borrower's property; and in the event Agent deems it necessary to exercise any
of such rights prior to the rendition of a final judgment against Borrower, or
otherwise, Borrower may be entitled to notice and/or hearing under the
Constitution of the United States and/or State of New York, New York statutes
(to determine whether or not Agent has a probable cause to sustain the validity
of Agent's claim), or the right to notice and/or hearing under other applicable
state or federal laws pertaining to prejudgment remedies prior to the exercise
by Agent of any such rights.  Borrower expressly waives any such right to
prejudgment remedy notice or hearing to which Borrower may be entitled;
provided, however, that this waiver shall not include a waiver of such rights as
Borrower shall have to prior notice of the proposed disposition of Collateral by
Agent.  Specifically and without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Borrower recognizes that in certain instances Agent has and shall continue to
have an absolute right to effect collection of any of the Receivables or
Collateral with respect to which Agent holds a security interest without the
necessity of according to Borrower any prior notice or hearing.  This shall be a
continuing waiver and remain in full force and effect so long as Borrower is
obligated to Agent.


     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, as of the date
first written.

                       REVOLVING TO TERM PROMISSORY NOTE

$18,000,000                                                     August 15, 1997



       FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Carey International, Inc., a
Delaware corporation with its chief executive office at 4350 Wisconsin Avenue,
N.W., Washington, D.C. 20016 (the "Borrower") HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY to the
order of Fleet Bank, N.A. (the "Bank") to Fleet Bank, N.A., a national banking
association, at its office at 1185 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York
10036 for the account of the applicable Lending Office of the Bank, in lawful
money of the United States and in immediately available funds, on the Conversion
Date, the principal amount of Eighteen Million Dollars ($18,000,000) or the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans made to the
Borrower by the Bank pursuant to the Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement
and outstanding on the Conversion Date, whichever is less.

       Interest only, upon the interest rates set forth and upon all other terms
and conditions set forth in the Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement with
respect to Revolving Credit Loans, shall be paid from the date of this
Promissory Note through the Conversion Date.  So long as Borrower meets all
terms and conditions set forth in the Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement
as a condition precedent to conversion, this Promissory Note shall convert from
a Revolving Promissory Note to a Term Loan Promissory Note which Term Loan
Promissory Note shall be repayable upon all terms and conditions set forth with
respect to the Term Loan in the Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement,
including but not limited to, a maturity date which shall be five years from the
date of the Conversion Date.

       The Bank is hereby authorized by the Borrower to endorse on the schedule
attached to the Note held by it the amount and type of each Revolving Credit
Loan and each renewal, conversion, and payment of principal amount received by
the Bank for the account of the applicable Lending Office on account of its
Revolving Credit Loans, which endorsement shall, in the absence of manifest
error, be conclusive as to the outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Loans
made by the Bank; provided, however, that the failure to make such notation with
respect to any Revolving Credit loan or renewal, conversion, or payment shall
not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder.

       This Note is the Note referred to in, and is entitled to the benefits of,
the Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement, dated as of August 15, 1997,
between the Borrower, the Bank and certain other banks parties thereto; (the
Revolving Credit and Term loan Agreement"). Terms used herein which are defined
in the Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement shall have their defined
meanings when used herein. The

Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement, among other things, contains
provisions for acceleration of the maturity of this Note upon the happening of
certain stated events and also for prepayments on account of principal hereof
prior to the maturity of this Note upon the terms and conditions specified in
the Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement.


        This Note shall be governed by laws of the State of New York.
