4. LITIGATION

     The Company is party to legal  proceedings  incidental to its business from
time to time. Certain claims,  suits and complaints arise in the ordinary course
of business and may be filed  against the  Company.  Based on facts now known to
the Company,  management  believes all such matters are adequately provided for,
covered by insurance or, if not so covered or provided  for, are without  merit,
or  involve  such  amounts  that  would  not  materially  adversely  affect  the
consolidated results of operations or financial position of the Company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO JUNE 30, 1999

     The Company  operates in two principal  segments:  Vehicle Rental Franchise
Programs (franchising) and Insurance Coverage (insurance).  Franchising consists
of operations under the  Rent-A-Wreck  and Priceless lines of business.  For the
quarter  ended  June  30,  2000,   franchising   operations   comprised  85%  of
consolidated  net  revenues  (88% in 1999)  and 122% of  consolidated  operating
income (111% in 1999).

     Revenue from franchising  operations,  which includes initial license fees,
continuing  license fees and  advertising  fees,  increased  by $163,282  (13%).
Initial license fees increased by $6,499 (2%), continuing license fees increased
by $136,089  (20%),  and  advertising  fees  increased  by $20,694  (9%).  These
increases  resulted  primarily  from the  addition of new  franchises  and fleet
growth at existing  franchises.  The timing of closings of new franchise  sales,
each of which is for a relatively large amount of revenue, varies over the year,
contributing to periodic increases or decreases in reported results.  Management
does not believe  these  short-term  variations  are  indicative  of longer term
trends.

     Revenues from insurance  premiums  increased by $81,520 (46%) due to higher
participation  by the  Company's  franchisees  in the  Company's  CAR  Insurance
program.

     Total  operating  expenses for both  segments  increased by $131,130  (11%)
compared to the prior  period.  Salary  expense for both  segments  increased by
$15,528 (6%) primarily as a result of hiring additional employees in response to
the growth of the Company's  franchising  operations.  Advertising and promotion
expenses  increased by $44,139 (14%),  which resulted primarily from an increase
in national  advertising  expense to promote the  Company.  Sales and  marketing
expenses  decreased by $84,305 (47%),  which resulted primarily from a reduction
in  bad  debt  expense  due  to  the  Company's  collection  efforts.  Insurance
underwriting  expenses  increased  by $141,136  (97%) due to an increase in paid
losses  and loss  reserves  for  unsettled  claims  in  connection  with  higher
participation of the Company's franchisees in its CAR Insurance program. General
and  administrative  expenses for both segments increased by $18,441 (8%), which
resulted  primarily from increased rent expense in connection with the Company's
new location.

                                       10
<PAGE>
     The  Company  realized  operating  income  of  $440,277,  before  taxes and
interest,  for the three-month  period ended June 30, 2000 compared to operating
income of $320,891 for the same period in the prior year, reflecting an increase
of $119,386 (37%). This increase resulted primarily from continuing license fees
due to fleet growth at existing franchises.

     Net  interest  income  increased  by  $17,926  (101%).  This  increase  was
primarily due to improved cash management.

     Income tax expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 increased by $77,611
(73%)  compared  to the  three-month  period  ended June 30,  1999 due to higher
pre-tax earnings.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At June 30, 2000, the Company had working capital of $1,492,350 compared to
$1,239,523 at March 31, 2000. This increase of $252,827 resulted  primarily from
the net profit earned during the three-month period ended June 30, 2000.

     In March 2000, the Company obtained a $1,000,000 letter of credit from Bank
of America in  connection  with the  Company's  CAR  Insurance  subsidiary,  and
replaced  its  letters of credit with The Chase  Manhattan  Bank and the Bank of
Butterfield.  This letter of credit is part of the agreement between the Company
and Bank of America as  security  for the  letter of credit  issued to  American
International Group ("AIG") by Bank of America. This letter of credit is secured
by a certificate  of deposit of $600,000 held by Bank of America plus 50% of all
the Company's  eligible accounts  receivable.  Funds drawn against the letter of
credit bear  interest at Bank of America's  prime  commercial  lending rate plus
1.5% (which prime rate was 9.50% on July 27,  2000).  For the quarter ended June
30,  2000,  AIG has not  drawn any funds  from the  letter of credit  and all $1
million is available.

     The Company  rents its office  facilities  under the terms of an  operating
lease with a related party.  The monthly office  facilities lease commitment was
$9,290 at June 30, 2000.

     Property  and  equipment  increased  by $47,745 (5%) from March 31, 2000 to
June 30, 2000. This increase occurred primarily due to additional  investment in
computer  software and  hardware,  partially  offset by the sale of a vehicle in
connection with the wheelchair van program.

     Cash used in  operations  was  $234,902,  resulting  from the  decrease  in
accounts payable and accrued expenses, a decrease in income taxes payable (which
resulted in an increase in income taxes  recoverable),  partially  offset by net
income before  depreciation  plus the decrease in accounts and notes  receivable
and prepaid  expenses  and the  increase in insurance  loss  reserves.  Accounts
payable and accrued expenses  decreased  primarily due to payment being made for
the Company's repurchase of 500,000 options for $625,000.  The net change in the
liability  (which is now a  recoverable  income tax refund) is a result of taxes
currently  payable,  offset by taxes  paid for the year  ended  March 31,  2001.
Accounts and notes receivable decreased primarily due to funds received from AIG
in connection with the  reinsurance  program and funds recovered from settlement
of a lawsuit.  Prepaid expense  decreased  primarily due to the normal timing of
the  expiration of certain  prepaid  items.  Insurance  loss reserves  increased
primarily due to an increase in unsettled claims associated with the increase in
participation in the CAR Insurance program.

                                       11
<PAGE>
     Cash used in  investing  activities  of $71,367  related  primarily  to the
acquisition of computer software,  hardware,  and an increase in restricted cash
due to the Company's  additional  liability to the national advertising fund due
to an increase in advertising  fees,  partially  offset by the proceeds from the
sale of one vehicle.

     Cash provided by financing  activities during the same period was $414,325,
resulting from an increase in insurance financing payable in connection with the
CAR Insurance program, offset by the payment of preferred dividends.

The Company  believes it has sufficient  working capital to support its business
plan through fiscal 2001.

RECLASSIFICATION

     Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
year presentation.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

     Inflation  has had no  material  impact  on the  operations  and  financial
condition of the Company.

     The  statements  regarding  anticipated  future  performance of the Company
contained in this report are forward-looking  statements which are made pursuant
to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. These  forward-looking  statements  involve risks and  uncertainties  that
could  cause  the  Company's  actual  results  to  differ  materially  from  the
forward-looking  statements.  Factors  which could cause or  contribute  to such
differences include, but are not limited to, the Company's limited experience in
the reinsurance  business and the potential for negative claims experience,  the
effects of  government  regulation  of the  Company's  franchise  and  insurance
programs  including  maintaining  properly  registered  franchise  documents and
making any required  alterations  in the Company's  franchise  program to comply
with changes in the laws,  competitive pressures from other motor vehicle rental
companies which have greater marketing and financial resources than the Company,
protection  of the  Company's  trademarks,  and the  dependence on the Company's
relationships with its franchisees. These risks and uncertainties are more fully
described under the caption,  "Item 6 - Management's  Discussion and Analysis of
Financial  Condition  and  Results of  Operations  -  Important  Factors" in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000.
All forward-looking  statements should be considered in light of these risks and
uncertainties.

----------
(1)  The  franchisees'  revenue data have been derived  from  unaudited  reports
     provided by franchisees in paying license fees.
(2)  "EBITDA" is earnings before interest expense,  depreciation,  amortization,
     taxes and  repurchase  of options.  EBITDA should not be  interpreted  as a
     measure of operating results, cash flow provided by operating activities, a
     measure  of  liquidity,  or as an  alternative  to any  generally  accepted
     accounting  principle  measure of  performance.  The  Company is  reporting
     EBITDA  because it is a widely  used  financial  measure  of the  potential
     capacity of a company to incur and service  debt.  Rent-A-Wreck's  reported
     EBITDA may not be  comparable  to similarly  titled  measures used by other
     companies.
