NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED 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 465 cities in 65 countries. The Company owns and operates service
providers in the form of wholly-owned subsidiaries in the following cities:
Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, London, Los Angeles,
Miami, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and West
Palm Beach. 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. The chauffeured vehicle service businesses that the
Company seeks to acquire 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 six months of
1999, the Company acquired four chauffeured vehicle service companies in
Detroit, Miami and Jacksonville. (See Note 3)
2. Basis of presentation

4. Revolving credit facility
In January 1999, the Company entered into a new three-year Revolving
Credit Facility consisting of an unsecured revolving line of credit of
$75.0 million (the "Credit Facility"). Loans made under the Credit Facility
will bear interest at the Company's option at either the bank's prime rate
or at a varying rate above the LIBOR rate, depending on the ratio of the
Company's debt to equity. Commitment fees equal to 0.375% per annum are
payable on the unused portion of the Credit Facility. The terms of the
Credit Facility (i) prohibit the payment of dividends by the Company, (ii)
with certain exceptions, prevent the Company from incurring or assuming
other indebtedness that is not subordinate to the borrowings under the
Credit Facility and (iii) require the Company to comply with certain
financial covenants. As of May 31, 1999, the Company had borrowed $4.5
million under the Credit Facility.
5. Commitments and contingencies
The Company is from time to time a party to litigation arising in the
ordinary of business. Management believes that no pending legal proceeding
will have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
One of the corporations acquired by the Company has been examined by
the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for periods prior to the acquisition
date. The IRS has notified the acquired corporation of challenges to its
methods of accounting and the tax treatment of certain items in those tax
returns. The Company believes that any assessments ultimately sustainable
by the IRS in this matter would be offset by Net Operating Loss
Carryforwards (NOLs) of the acquired corporation and indemnification
payments under the acquisition agreements, and would not have a material
effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of
the Company.

6. Comprehensive income
In 1999, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, Comprehensive Income.
Comprehensive income for the Company is calculated by adjusting "Net
income" for the change in the unrealized gains or losses from foreign
currency translations. For 1998 and 1999, comprehensive net income did not
materially differ from net income.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended May 31, 1999 (the "1999 Period") Compared to Three Months
Ended May 31, 1998 (the "1998 Period")
Revenue, Net. Revenue, net increased $14.4 million or 46.8% from $30.8
million in the 1998 Period to $45.2 million in the 1999 Period. Of the increase,
$3.6 million resulted from expanded use of the Carey network, including an
increase in business from corporate travel customers and business travel
arrangers. A further $10.8 million of the increase was due to the revenues from
companies acquired by the Company.
Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue increased $9.1 million or 44.2% from $20.7
million in the 1998 Period to $29.8 million in the 1999 Period. The increase was
primarily attributable to higher costs due to increased business levels and to
increased costs associated with businesses acquired by Carey subsequent to the
1998 Period. Cost of revenue decreased as a percentage of revenue, net from
67.2% in the 1998 Period to 65.9% in the 1999 Period, primarily reflecting
relatively lower reliance on subcontractors, or "farm-outs," to service higher
levels of business during peak periods as well as a reduction of costs for
businesses acquired that were not previously fully integrated into the Company's
operations.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and
administrative expense increased $3.4 million or 48.9% from $6.9 million in the
1998 Period to $10.3 million in the 1999 Period. The increase largely was due to
the costs associated with higher business levels and costs of acquired
businesses including personnel costs, administrative expenses and marketing
expenses, and an increase in amortization of intangibles related to acquired
businesses. Selling, general and administrative expense increased as a
percentage of revenue, net from 22.5% in the 1998 Period to 22.8% in the 1999
Period as a result of higher costs for businesses acquired that were not fully
integrated into the Company's operations and investment in personnel and systems
in the area of sales and marketing, technology, customer service and employee
education and training.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes increased
approximately $739,000 from $1.4 million in the 1998 Period to $2.1 million in
the 1999 Period. The increase primarily was a result of the increase in pre-tax
income of the Company from $3.2 million in the 1998 Period to $5.0 million in
the 1999 Period. The Company's effective tax rate was 41.7% in the 1998 Period
and 42.1% in the 1999 Period.
Net Income. As a result of the foregoing, the Company's net income
increased approximately $992,000 or 52.5% from $1.9 million in the 1998 Period
to $2.9 million in the 1999 Period.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)
Six Months Ended May 31, 1999 (the "1999 Six-Month Period") Compared to Six
Months Ended May 31, 1998 (the "1998 Six-Month Period")
Revenue, Net. Revenue, net increased $27.2 million or 50.0% from $54.5
million in the 1998 Six-Month Period to $81.7 million in the 1999 Six-Month
Period. Of the increase, $7.0 million related to expanded use of the Carey
network, including an increase in business from corporate travel customers and
business travel arrangers, and $20.2 million was due to revenues from companies
acquired by the Company.
Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue increased $17.4 million or 47.1% from
$36.9 million in the 1998 Six-Month Period to $54.2 million in the 1999 Six-
Month Period. The increase was primarily attributable to higher costs due to
increased business levels and to costs of revenue of acquired corporations which
were not included in the 1998 Six-Month Period. Cost of revenue decreased as a
percentage of revenue, net from 67.7% in the 1998 Six-Month Period to 66.4% in
the 1999 Six-Month Period, primarily reflecting less reliance on subcontractors,
or "farm-outs," to service higher levels of business during peak periods as well
as a reduction of costs for businesses acquired that were not previously
integrated into the Company's operations.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and
administrative expense increased $6.8 million or 53.0% from $12.8 million in the
1998 Six-Month Period to $19.5 million in the 1999 Six-Month Period. The
increase was largely due to the costs of additional personnel, increased
marketing expenses and increased administrative expense in support of higher
business levels. Selling, general and administrative expense increased as a
percentage of revenue, net from 23.4% in the 1998 Six-Month Period to 23.9% in
the 1999 Six-Month Period as a result of higher costs for businesses acquired
that were not fully integrated into the Company's operations and investment in
infrastructure personnel and systems in the area of sales and marketing,
technology, customer service and employee education and training.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes increased $1.3
million from $2.0 million in the 1998 Six-Month Period to $3.3 million in the
1999 Six-Month Period. The increase primarily related to the increase in pre-tax
income of the Company from $4.8 million in the 1998 Six-Month Period to $7.8
million in the 1999 Six-Month Period. The Company's effective tax rate was 42.0%
in the 1998 Six-Month Period and 42.0% in the 1999 Six-Month Period.
Net Income. As a result of the foregoing, the Company's net income
increased $1.7 million or 61.6% from $2.8 million in the 1998 Six-Month Period
to $4.5 million in the 1999 Six-Month Period.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --(Continued)
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $6.0 million during the 1999 Six-Month
Period from $14.5 million at November 30, 1998 to $8.5 million at May 31, 1999.
Operating activities provided net cash of approximately $4.3 million during the
1999 Six-Month Period compared to $2.1 million in the 1998 Six-Month Period. The
overall net decrease in cash and cash equivalents at May 31, 1999 from November
30, 1998 primarily related to the use of such cash to acquire chauffeured
vehicle service companies and retire debt offset by the cash from borrowings
under the credit facility and net cash provided by chauffeured vehicle service
operations.
Cash used in investing activities during the 1999 Six-Month Period
increased by $9.0 million over the 1998 Six-Month Period. Cash of $3.9 million
was used in the 1998 Six-Month Period to acquire chauffeured vehicle service
companies and purchase fixed assets, net of cash from sale of fixed assets,
whereas $13.0 million of cash was used in the 1999 Six-Month Period to acquire
chauffeured vehicle service companies and purchase fixed assets, net of cash
from sale of fixed assets.
Cash provided by financing activities during the 1999 Six-Month Period
decreased by $24.8 million over 1998 Six-Month Period, primarily as a result of
the issuance of common stock by the Company during the 1998 Six-Month Period.
At May 31, 1999, the Company had debt outstanding of $9.7 million, of which
approximately $2.2 is to be repaid over the next 12 months.
In January 1999, the Company entered into a new three-year Revolving Credit
Facility consisting of an unsecured revolving line of credit of $75.0 million
(the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility will be used for acquisitions and
working capital. Loans made under the Credit Facility will bear interest at the
Company's option at either the banks' prime lending rate or at a varying rate
above the LIBOR rate depending upon the ratio of the Company's debt to equity.
Commitment fees equal to 0.375% per annum are payable on the unused portion of
the Credit Facility. The terms of the Credit Facility (i) prohibit the payment
of dividends by the Company, (ii) with certain exceptions, prevent the Company
from incurring or assuming other indebtedness that is not subordinated to the
borrowings under the Credit Facility and (iii) require the Company to comply
with certain financial covenants. As of May 31, 1999, the Company had borrowed
$4.5 million under the Credit Facility.
While there can be no assurance, and depending on the methods of financing
and size of potential acquisitions, management believes that cash flow from
operations, cash and cash equivalents and funds from the Credit Facility will be
adequate to meet the Company's capital

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --(Continued)
requirements for the next 12 months. While the Company historically has financed
many 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.
The Company is in the process of upgrading its central and subsidiary
reservation systems as well as its financial and certain other computer software
and hardware systems. The upgrades are expected to provide significant
enhancements to the Company's customer service and management information
capabilities along with increased opportunities for more efficient processing
and distribution of information. The Company's program of enhancements and
upgrades overlaps with its plans to address the Year 2000 Problem, as described
in the following three paragraphs, and replaces the need for on-going
investments in its current systems that would otherwise occur in the absence of
the program of enhancements and upgrades. The Company is currently committed to
or anticipates spending approximately $6 to $8 million over the next 12 to 18
months on designing, developing and deploying software and replacing or
upgrading computer-related hardware as part of its program of enhancements and
upgrades.
The Year 2000 Problem, which is common to most corporations, concerns the
inability of certain information systems, primarily computer software programs,
to properly recognize and process date sensitive information related to the year
2000 and beyond. While the Company anticipates that the upgrades referred to in
the preceding paragraph will result in systems that are Year 2000 compliant, the
Company has also developed and is implementing plans to address the possible
exposures of its existing systems to the Year 2000 Problem. Key financial,
management information and operational systems, including equipment with
embedded microprocessors, have been inventoried and assessed, and plans are in
place for the necessary systems modifications or replacements. Progress against
these plans is monitored and reported to senior management on a regular basis.
Implementation of necessary changes to critical systems is expected to be
completed during fiscal 1999.
Costs to remedy the Year 2000 Problem for certain key financial and
operational systems are expected to total approximately $200,000, of which
approximately 75% has been spent to date, and are charged to expense as
incurred. The Company intends to remedy its Year 2000 Problem in its computer-
related hardware and other commercially available software as part of its
overall systems upgrade discussed above. The Company is also assessing the
potential impact on operations if key third parties are not successful in making
their systems Year 2000 compliant in a timely manner. The effect, if any, on the
Company's results of operations if the Company's customers or its suppliers are
not fully Year 2000 compliant is not reasonably estimable.

<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --(Continued)
The Company's emergency backup and recovery procedures to be followed in
the event of a failure of a business-critical system will be expanded to include
specific procedures for potential Year 2000 issues. Contingency plans in the
event of a "worst case scenario" to protect the business from Year 2000-related
interruptions are being developed and are expected to be complete by Sept. 1999.
The costs of such contingency plans have not yet been determined.
Factors To Be Considered
The information set forth above contains forward-looking statements, which
involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ
