ITEM 2.    ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On February 6, 1997, Rent-Way, Inc. (the "Company") acquired all of the
outstanding shares of Perry Electronics, Inc. d/b/a Rental King ("Rental King")
for consideration of $23.8 million of which $17.9 million was paid in cash.
Prior to the acquisition, Rental King was wholly owned by Robert L. Thomas,
Norma J. Thomas, Randall L. Snyder and Niki L. Snyder. The amount and form of
consideration paid to such persons for the stock of Rental King was determined
through arms length negotiations. Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition,
$2.0 million of the purchase price was placed in escrow and held subject to the
terms on the escrow agreement. The escrow agreement provides for release
pending completion of an audit of Rental King's financial statements. The cash
paid in the acquisition was provided for from the net proceeds of a $20.0
million private placement of subordinated convertible debentures with a 7%
interest rate due in 2007 and with funds drawn on the Company's existing credit
agreement with National City Bank of Pennsylvania.

Rental King operated a chain of 70 rental-purchase stores located in Colorado,
Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia. Annual revenues
for Rental King were approximately $24.0 million.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

Board of Directors and Shareholders
Perry Electronics, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Perry Electronics, Inc. as
of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of operations,
shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years 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 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Perry Electronics, Inc. as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

       The significant accounting policies and practices followed by the Perry
       Electronics, Inc. d/b/a Rental King (the "Company") are as follows:

       DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS: The Company operates a chain of 70
       rental-purchase stores in Ohio, West Virginia, Michigan, Kentucky,
       Florida, Indiana, and Colorado that rent durable household products such
       as home entertainment equipment, furniture, major appliances, as well
       as, jewelry to consumers on a weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, or
       monthly basis.

       CORPORATE STATUS: The Company's shareholders have elected to be taxed
       under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code,
       effective January 1, 1987. Under those provisions, the Company does not
       pay federal or certain state or local income taxes on its taxable
       income.  Instead, the shareholders are liable for individual income
       taxes on their respective shares of the Company's taxable income.
       However, the Company pays certain state and city income taxes as
       provided by the various state and city statutes where the Company is
       conducting business.

       CASH: The Company has concentrated its credit risk for cash by
       maintaining deposits at a single bank located in Stark County, Ohio.
       Accounts are insured by the federal deposit insurance corporation up to
       $100,000.

       RENTAL MERCHANDISE, RELATED RENTAL REVENUE AND DEPRECIATION: Rental
       merchandise is rented to customers pursuant to rental agreements with
       maximum terms from twelve to twenty-four months which provide for either
       weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly payments collected in
       advance. The rental arrangement may be terminated at any time by the
       customers and if terminated, the rental merchandise is returned to the
       Company. Rental revenue is recognized when collected, since at the time
       of collection of the rental, merchandise has been placed in service and
       costs of installation and delivery have been incurred. This method of
       revenue recognition does not produce materially different results than
       if rental revenue was recognized over the agreed upon rental period. At
       any time during the agreement the individual can acquire the item or if 
       all periodic payments are made the individual takes ownership of the 
       merchandise. 

       Merchandise rented to customers or available for rent is classified in
       the balance sheet as rental merchandise and is valued at cost and
       depreciated over eighteen months by the straight-line method beginning
       on the first rental date. Write-offs of rental merchandise arising from
       customers' failure to return merchandise and losses due to excessive
       wear and tear of merchandise are recognized using the direct write-off
       method, which is materially consistent with the results that would be
       recognized under the allowance method.

       OTHER REVENUE: Other revenue includes revenue from various services and
       charges to rental customers, including late fees, liability waiver fees,
       and sale of used merchandise.

       INTANGIBLE ASSETS: Goodwill is stated at cost less amortization
       calculated on a straight-line basis over a five year period.

       ADVERTISING REBATES: The Company participates in vendor advertising
       rebate programs with the majority of its rental merchandise suppliers.
       Rebates are recognized in the period earned. On a quarterly basis,
       management calculates the amount of the rebate and either submits a
       request for payment or credits the balance due the respective vendor.

       FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: Management has determined that the
       carrying amount of financial instruments, as reported on the balance
       sheet, approximates fair value.

       BALANCE SHEET PRESENTATION: The Company presents an unclassified balance
       sheet since its operating cycle exceeds a one year period which is
       consistent with industry practice.

       PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: Property and equipment are stated at cost.
       Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as
       incurred and additions and improvements that significantly extend the
       lives of depreciable assets are capitalized. Upon sale or other
       retirement of depreciable property, the cost and accumulated
       depreciation are removed from the related accounts and any gain or loss
       is reflected in operations.

       Depreciation is computed on the straight-line and accelerated methods
       based on the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets as
       follows:

                  Vehicles                                          5 years
                  Equipment, furniture and fixtures               5-7 years
                  Leasehold improvements                            5 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 amounts reported in the
       financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ
       from these estimates.

       The Company must comply with certain debt covenants, such as net worth,
       net current assets, rental obligations, fixed asset acquisition, and
       transactions with related parties. At December 31, 1996 and December 31,
       1995, the Company was in violation of several covenants, including net
       worth and the transactions with related parties (See Note 8).

       At December 31, 1995, the Company had an unused line of credit for
       borrowings up to $1,750,000. Subsequent to December 31, 1996, certain
       portions of debt were refinanced (See Note 8).

4.     LEASES:

       The Company leases certain real estate and under noncancelable operating
       leases which generally require the payment of taxes, insurance, and
       maintenance costs by the Company.

       Corporate and selected store facilities are rented by the Company under
       five lease agreements from the Company's major shareholder. Rental
       payments of $10,058 are due monthly as of December 31, 1996, on leases
       that expire through February 28, 1999. Rent expense on leases with the
       majority shareholder was $136,560 and $136,560, for the years ended
       December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

       All other store facilities are rented by the Company under 
       lease agreements with various lessors. Rental payments of $142,088 are
       due monthly on leases that are on a month-to-month basis or which expire
       at various times through June 13, 2001, with various options for
       renewals. Rent expense related to these leases was $1,584,170 and
       $1,571,530 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

       Future minimum lease payments under leases with initial or remaining
       noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 1996
       are as follows:

                  1997                            $  1,358,746

5.     RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

       The Company has notes receivable due from the principal shareholders of
       $205,674 and $230,501 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
       Interest is payable on a monthly basis and accrues at rates ranging from
       8.75% to 10.25%, maturing periodically through January 2004 (See Note
       8).  Interest income on these notes receivable was $22,826 and $12,682
       in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

       Additionally, the Company has demand notes payable due to the principal
       shareholders of $824,000 and $772,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
       respectively. Principal and interest are payable on a monthly basis.
       Interest accrues at rates ranging from 1.75% to 2.50% over the financial
       institution's prime rate (8.25% and 8.50% at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
       respectively). A portion of these loans are subordinate to the term
       loans entered into by the financial institutions (See Note 8). Interest
       expense on these notes payable was $84,000 and $78,100 in 1996 and 1995,
       respectively.

6.     PROFIT SHARING PLAN:

       A discretionary profit-sharing plan covering substantially all employees
       was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 1990. Contributions to
       the profit-sharing plan are determined by the Company's principal
       shareholders. For the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,
       contributions totaled $100,000 and $120,000 respectively.

7.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

       The Company is subject to commitments, legal proceedings and claims,
       which arise in the ordinary course of business. In management's opinion,
       the amount of ultimate liability from such matters will not materially
       affect the financial position or operating results of the Company.

       The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary
       course of its business that have not been finally adjudicated. Certain
       of these cases have resulted in contingent liabilities ranging from
       $450,000 to $1,040,000. One of these cases was settled in March 1997 for
       approximately $450,000 which has been accrued for in the Company's
       financial statements at December 31, 1996. One additional case has not
       been settled as of the date of this report, however, the Company has
       accrued $100,000 in connection with this case. Both cases are fully
       insured and the Company has accordingly recorded insurance receivables
       for $550,000 at December 31, 1996. The majority of the remaining claims
       are, in the opinion of management, also covered by insurance policies
       and therefore will not materially effect the financial position or 
       results of operations of the Company.

8.     SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

       Effective February 1, 1997, the Company was merged with Rent-Way, Inc.
       under the provisions of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated January 24,
       1997. Concurrent with the merger, several portions of the financing
       disclosed in Note 3 were paid in full. Included in this transaction were
       notes payable to financial institutions including the line of credit for
       $1,550,000, the term note for $103,664, the term note for $260,143 and
       the related party note payable net of the related party note receivable
       of $618,326 plus additional line of credit borrowings and accrued
       interest since December 31, 1996. In addition, the Company has
       previously entered into an employment agreement whereby the Company is
       required to pay a severance package to an officer of the Company based
       upon a predetermined calculation of the Company's financial statement
       positions and other factors at the time of the sale and merger. The cost
       of the severance package has not been finalized by the Company; however,
       management estimates the cost to the Company will approximate $527,000.

       Prior to the merger with Rent-Way, Inc., the Company operated as an S
       Corporation and, as such, was not liable for federal and certain state
       and local income taxes. As a result, the earnings of the Company have
       been taxed for federal and certain state and local income tax purposes
       directly to the shareholders rather than to the Company. Cash
       distributions were regularly made by the Company, in part to fund
       shareholders for these liabilities.

       Accordingly, net income, as reported in the accompanying statements of
       operations does not include a provision for these income taxes.

       Effective with the merger, the Company will no longer be treated as an S
       Corporation and will be subject to all corporate federal and state and
       local income taxes. Accordingly, for informational purposes, the
       statements of operations include unaudited pro forma adjustments for
       additional income taxes which would have been recorded if the Company
       had been taxed as a C Corporation, based on the tax laws in effect
       during those periods.

       Unaudited pro forma income tax expense for each of the periods presented
       is as follows:

(3)    The excess purchase price over the fair value of the net assets was
       allocated to assets and liabilities based on historical information and
       preliminary estimates of fair value. The final purchase price allocation
       is subject to refinement upon completion of a review of rental
       merchandise, property and equipment, intangibles and certain accrued
       liabilites. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of net
