                                     NOTE 1.
                   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

         The accompanying Statement of Operations for the three and six months
         ended September 30, 1995, Statement of Stockholders' Equity for the
         year ended March 31, 1996, and Statement of Cash Flows for the three
         and six months ended September 30, 1995, are consolidated statements
         and include all of the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned
         subsidiaries: RSI Integrated Parts, Inc., RSI Acquisitions, Inc.,
         Corporate Upholstery, Inc., and Facility Options Group, Inc. All
         intercompany accounts and transactions were eliminated in the
         consolidation of these statements. All of the aforementioned
         subsidiaries were closed as of March 31, 1996, and, as such, the
         accompanying Balance Sheet as of September 30, 1996, Statement of
         Operations for the six months ended September 30, 1996, Statement of
         Stockholders' Equity for the three and six months ended September 30,
         1996, and Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended September
         30, 1996, include only the accounts and transactions of the Company.

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

         The unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments
         (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of
         management, are necessary in order to make the financial statements not
         misleading. Operating results for the six months ended September 30,
         1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
         expected for the entire year ending March 31, 1997. These financial
         statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to
         Form 10-QSB and do not contain certain information required by
         generally accepted accounting principles. These statements should be
         read in conjunction with financial statements and notes thereto
         included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended March 31,
         1996.

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE:

         The computation of earnings (loss) per share is based on the net income
         (loss) and the weighted average number shares of common stock and
         common stock equivalents outstanding for each period. Certain stock
         options outstanding are considered common stock equivalents during the
         reporting quarter and period, and were accounted for under the Treasury
         Stock method. These stock options were not included in the computation
         of earnings (loss) per share during the comparable quarter or the
         comparable period, as their effect would be antidilutive. In addition,
         certain outstanding warrants are not included in the computation of
         earnings (loss) per share because their effect would be antidilutive.
         Fully diluted earnings per share were not materially different from
         primary earnings per share. The earnings (loss) per share and the
         weighted average number of shares outstanding for the periods presented
         give retroactive effect to the conversion of preferred stock to common
         stock and the reverse split of common stock which were effective on
         August 12, 1996 (see Note 2).

                       REORGANIZATION OF CAPITAL STRUCTURE
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On August 5, 1996, at the Company's annual shareholders meeting, the Company's
shareholders approved, among other things, a reorganization of the Company's
capital structure. The reorganization, which was effective on August 12, 1996,
consisted of the automatic conversion of each share of the Company's Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock, together with any and all accrued but unpaid
dividends through the conversion date, into thirteen shares of common stock and
a one-for-six reverse stock split (immediately following the preferred stock
conversion).

                              COMMON STOCK OPTIONS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On August 19, 1996, the Board of Directors approved the repricing of 100,000
stock options held by the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, and
100,000 stock options held by the Company's Chief Financial Officer from $2.75
per share to $1.00 per share. In addition, at the same time, the Board issued
100,000 stock options with an exercise price of $1.00 per share to the Company's
Chairman of the Board. All of these stock options are presently exercisable;
provided, however, that the holders may not sell or otherwise transfer any
shares acquired upon exercise of the options until August 19, 1997. The Company
has agreed to register the shares issuable upon exercise of the option by filing
a registration statement on Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The option exercise price equals the fair market value of the
underlying common stock on August 19, 1996.

                                SUBSEQUENT EVENT
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Norwest Business Credit, Inc. has amended the terms of the Company's revolving
line of credit agreement. As of November 1, 1996 the applicable rate of interest
under the line of credit was reduced to the bank's base rate plus four percent
(4%), and the minimum monthly interest requirement was reduced to $4,000. In
addition, per the terms of the amendment, if the net income of the Company meets
or exceeds $200,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, the interest rate
will be further reduced to the bank's base rate plus three percent (3%), with a
minimum monthly interest requirement of $2,500. The amendment also extended the
expiration of the revolving line of credit to February 28, 2000.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS

The statements contained herein which are not historical facts may constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, and are subject to the safe harbors created thereby. These
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not
limited to, the Company's ability to maintain and increase current sales levels,
maintain a collection rate at or near its standard terms, and maintain annual
inventory turns of at least 4. In addition, the Company's business, operations
and financial condition are subject to substantial risks which are described in
the Company's reports and statements filed from time to time with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. These reports and statements include the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

Reconditioned Systems, Inc. ("RSI" or the "Company") reported net income of
$27,026 for the three month period ended September 30, 1996 (hereinafter the
"reporting quarter") compared to a net loss of $1,713,489 for the three month
period ended September 30, 1995 (hereinafter the "comparable quarter"). The
improvement to the Company's net income was primarily attributable to the effect
of RSI's restructuring program which was completed and resulted in a $1,434,028
charge during the comparable quarter. The restructuring program downsized the
Company to its original form by closing all of its subsidiaries. RSI, not
including the losses of subsidiaries closed as part of its restructuring
program, had a net loss of $72,978 for the comparable quarter primarily as a
result of management's focus on the restructuring program.

The Company's revenues for the reporting quarter were $1,408,927 which
represents a $714,694 or 34% decrease from the comparable quarter. This decrease
was attributable to the downsizing that was done in conjunction with the
Company's restructuring program. RSI, excluding sales by the subsidiaries closed
as part of the restructuring, had sales of $1,152,454 for the comparable
quarter. The 22% increase in sales at RSI from the comparable to the reporting
quarters was due to unusually low sales at RSI during the comparable quarter
which resulted from management's focus on the restructuring program. During the
comparable quarter, management's time and energies were primarily focused on
closing the subsidiary operations and the entire Company was adversely affected
by the uncertainties the restructuring created.

Sales at RSI since it closed its subsidiaries were $1,493,557 for the quarter
ended December 31, 1995, $1,503,104 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996,
$1,887,487 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, and $1,408,927 for the reporting
quarter. Management believes these fluctuations in sales are due to the
variations in the sales performance of its individual salespeople from
month-to-month, and a key to maintaining and sequentially improving sales is to
employ sufficient salespeople in expanded territories so that individual
performance becomes less critical for the Company to reach its sales goals.
Based on these beliefs, management has taken steps to further develop its sales
staff and expand into other regional markets.


                                        9
<PAGE>   10
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)

As of the beginning of the reporting period, April 1, 1996, the Company had four
salespeople focusing on the local retail market and two salespeople focusing on
non-local wholesale sales. Currently, the Company has six salespeople focusing
on the local retail market in Phoenix, one salesperson focusing on the local
retail market in Tucson, one salesperson focusing on non-local wholesale sales,
and it has created a sales manager position to train new salespeople as well as
monitor the activities of existing salespeople. The Company also plans to
increase its sales personnel within the non-local wholesale sales department.
Because training time varies from individual to individual and the success rate
of new salespeople is not 100%, there can be no assurance that the actions taken
by management to maintain or improve on the reporting quarter's sales levels
will be effective for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 or any subsequent
period. The Company intends to continue to selectively add to its sales staff
both locally and in other nearby markets.

The Company's gross profit margin during the reporting quarter was 25%, compared
with 17% for the comparable quarter. RSI's gross margin, not including the
subsidiaries closed as part of the restructuring plan for the comparable quarter
was 12%. The low margin for the comparable quarter was adversely affected by
RSI's unusually low sales in the comparable quarter where the Company's plant
was not near full capacity. Since the fixed costs associated with the plant were
then spread over less sales, the gross profit margin on these sales was less
than it is during a period in which the plant operates closer to full capacity.
The increase in the margin during the reporting quarter reflects the results of
the Company operating at a volume closer to the maximum production capacity.

The Company's selling and administrative expenses for the reporting quarter were
21% of sales as compared with 30% during the comparable quarter. This
improvement in the reporting quarter was achieved as a result of the downsizing
of the Company through implementation of its restructuring program. RSI's
selling and administrative expenses, not including the subsidiaries closed as
part of the restructuring program, were 19% during the comparable quarter. The
2% increase was a result of recent additions to the sales staff as part of
management's plan to increase and stabilize sales volume.

The Company's other income and expenses, which consist primarily of interest
expense, was $26,499 and $8,690 during the reporting and comparable quarters,
respectively, an increase of $17,809. This increase was primarily due to
miscellaneous income items earned by the subsidiary operations during the
comparable quarter.

SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

The Company reported net income of $127,866 for the six month period ended
September 30, 1996 (hereinafter the "reporting period") compared to a net loss
of $1,764,885 for the six month period ended September 30, 1995 (hereinafter the
"comparable period"). RSI, not including the losses of subsidiaries closed as
part of its restructuring program, had net income of $26,391 for the comparable
period. The improvement in the Company's net income was primarily attributable
to RSI's restructuring as discussed above

The Company's revenues for the reporting period were $3,296,414 which represents
a $1,678,622 or 34% decrease over the comparable period. This decrease was
attributable to the downsizing that was done in conjunction with the Company's
restructuring program. Sales at RSI, excluding sales by the subsidiaries closed
as part of the restructuring, were $3,033,062 for the comparable period. The 9%
improvement in revenues during the reporting period was primarily a result of
the lower sales during the comparable quarter, which resulted from management's
focus on the restructuring program.


                                       10
<PAGE>   11
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)

The company's gross profit margin during the reporting period was 24%, compared
with 19% for the comparable period. RSI's gross margin, not including the
subsidiaries closed as part of the restructuring plan for the comparable period
was 19%. The lower gross profit margins during the comparable period were
primarily a result of operating at levels significantly less than full capacity
during the comparable quarter.

The Company's selling and administrative expenses for the reporting period were
18% of sales as compared with 25% during the comparable period. This improvement
was also attributable to the downsizing and restructuring of the Company. RSI's
selling and administrative expenses, not including the subsidiaries closed as
part of the restructuring program, were 14% for the comparable period. The 4%
increase was a result of added personnel within the sales department.

The Company's other income and expenses, which consists primarily of interest
expenses, was $55,127 and $31,032 during the reporting and comparable periods,
respectively. This increase is primarily due to the fact that the Company's new
lender, Norwest Business Credit, Inc., is charging the Company a higher
borrowing rate than the Company's former lender. In addition, there were certain
miscellaneous income items earned by the subsidiary operations during the
comparable period.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

As a result of the net income for the reporting period and the reorganization of
the Company's capital structure that was approved at the annual shareholders
meeting on August 5, 1996, the Company's financial condition and liquidity has
improved dramatically during the reporting period. The automatic conversion of
each outstanding share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and accrued
dividends into 13 shares of common stock relieved the Company of accrued but
unpaid dividends of approximately $337,500 and the burden of the $56,250 per
quarter dividend going forward.

As of September 30, 1996, the Company's financial condition and liquidity is
sufficient to sustain current operating levels and pursue gradual and focused
growth. The Company has net worth of $1,244,639 and working capital of
$1,054,756. In addition, as of the date of this report, the Company has a
balance of approximately $400,000 and additional availability of approximately
$300,000 on its line of credit with Norwest Business Credit, Inc.. Since the
total availability under this line of credit agreement is based upon accounts
receivable and inventory up to a maximum amount of $1.2 million, this
arrangement should provide the Company with the short-term working capital
required for gradual growth. As of September 30, 1996, the Company was in
compliance with all of the financial convenants required by this financing
agreement.

With the elimination of the preferred stock dividend, the three items which now
primarily control the Company's financial condition and liquidity are its
results of operations, its collection of accounts receivable, and its ability to
turn inventory. The results of operations during the reporting quarter and
period were discussed above. The second item, the number of days sales in
accounts receivable as of September 30, 1996, was 33 as compared to 25 as of
March 31, 1996, and 44 as of June 30, 1996. Because the Company's standard terms
are net 30 days from existing customers and 50% down and 50% net 30 days from
new customers, the Company views the 25 days at March 31, 1996 as an anomaly and
does not expect to maintain a collection rate under 30 days in the future. For
the reporting quarter and period, the Company turned its inventory at an
annualized rate of approximately 3.8 and 4.2 times, respectively as compared to
4.7 times for the year ended March 31, 1996. The lower turns during the
reporting quarter and period are consistent with the lower sales revenues.


                                       11
<PAGE>   12
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)

The Company's operating activities produced positive cash flow during the
reporting quarter and a minimal amount of negative cash flow during the
reporting period. The increase in the cash provided by operating activities
during the reporting quarter was primarily attributable to net income and an
improved collection rate as compared to the previous quarter. The net income
earned during the reporting period was offset by weaker inventory turns and
collection rate than those achieved during the year ended March 31, 1996 and ,
as a result, the Company did not have positive cash flows from operating
activities during the reporting period.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is not party to any pending legal proceeding other than routine
litigation incidental to the business.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES
Effective August 12, 1996, the Company converted its 9% Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock and accrued but unpaid dividends into Common Stock on the basis
of 13 shares of Common Stock for each share of "Preferred Stock". In addition,
the Company implemented a six-to-one reverse stock split of the Company's Common
Stock, including the shares of Common Stock into which the Preferred Stock was
converted (see below under Item 3 and 4).

ITEM 3.  DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
During February, 1994, the Company issued 555,555 shares of Preferred Stock. The
dividend requirement on this Preferred Stock was $56,282 per quarter and the
last dividend paid was during February, 1995, resulting in an arrearage in the
amount of $337,692 as of August 1, 1996. Effective August 12, 1996, the
Preferred Stock and the accrued dividends were converted to Common Stock (see
below under Item 4).

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
On August 5, 1996, the Company held its annual shareholders meeting. The
following six proposals were presented at the meeting:

1. To consider and act upon a proposal (the "Preferred Stock Proposal") to amend
the Company's Articles of Incorporation to provide for the automatic conversion,
on August 12, 1996, of each outstanding share of the Company's Preferred Stock,
together with any and all accrued but unpaid dividends through the conversion
date, into 13 shares of the Company's Common Stock.

2. If the Preferred Stock Proposal is approved by the Stockholders, to consider
and act upon a proposal to amend the Company's Articles of Incorporation to
effect a six-to-one reverse stock split of the Company's presently issued shares
of Common Stock (including the shares of Common Stock into which the Preferred
Stock will be converted pursuant to the Preferred Stock Proposal).

3. Whether or not the Preferred Stock Proposal is approved by the Stockholders,
to consider and act upon a proposal to amend the Company's Articles of
Incorporation to make certain technical corrections and to eliminate, in certain
circumstances, the liability of directors to the Company and the Stockholders.

4. Whether or not the Preferred Stock Proposal is approved by the Stockholders,
to consider and act upon a proposal to amend and restate the Company's Bylaws.

5. To elect to the Board of Directors Wayne Collignon, Dirk Anderson, and Scott
Ryan.

6. To consider and act upon a proposal to ratify the appointment of Semple &

                           during any calendar month in which interest on
                           Advances from time to time outstanding is calculated
                           based upon the Incentive Rate (the "Minimum Interest
                           Charge"), and the Borrower shall pay any deficiency
                           between the Minimum Interest Charge and the amount of
                           interest otherwise calculated under Sections 2.3(a)
                           hereof on the date and in the manner provided in
                           Section 2.3(a) hereof.

                           (c)      All of the representations and warranties
contained in Article V of the Credit Agreement are correct on and as of the date
hereof as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent that such
representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date.

                  7.       All references in the Credit Agreement to "this
Agreement" shall be deemed to refer to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby;
and any and all references in the Security Documents to the Credit Agreement
shall be deemed to refer to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.

                  8.       The execution of this Amendment and acceptance of any
documents related hereto shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any Default or
Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or breach, default or event of
default under any Security Document or other document held by the Lender,
whether or not known to the Lender and whether or not existing on the date of
this Amendment.

                  9.       The Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally
releases and forever discharges the Lender, and any and all participants, parent
corporations, subsidiary corporations, affiliated corporations, insurers,
indemnitors, successors and assigns thereof, together with all of the present
and former directors, officers, agents and employees of any of the foregoing,
from any and all claims, demands or causes of action of any kind, nature or
description, whether arising in law or equity or upon contract or tort or under
any state or federal law or otherwise, which the Borrower has had, now has or
has made claim to have against any such person for or by reason of any act,
omission, matter, cause or thing whatsoever arising from the beginning of time
to and including the date of this Amendment, whether such claims, demands and
causes of action are matured or unmatured or known or unknown.

                  10.      The Borrower hereby reaffirms its agreement under the
Credit Agreement to pay or reimburse the Lender on demand for all costs and
expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with the Credit Agreement, the

contemplated thereby, including without limitation all reasonable fees
and disbursements of legal counsel. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Borrower specifically agrees to pay all fees and disbursements of
counsel to the Lender for the services performed by such counsel in connection
with the preparation of this Amendment and the documents and instruments
incidental hereto. The Borrower hereby agrees that the Lender may, at any time
or from time to time in its sole discretion and without further authorization by
the Borrower, make a loan to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, or apply
the proceeds of any loan, for the purpose of paying any such fees,
disbursements, costs and expenses.

                  11.      This Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an
original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute one and
the same instrument.

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this
Amendment to be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.
