                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Participants and Plan Administrator of the Corrpro Companies:

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits
of the Corrpro Companies, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan and Trust as of March 31,
1998 and 1997, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the plan'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 that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the plan as of
March 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes as of March 31, 1998 and reportable transactions
for the year ended March 31, 1998 are presented for the purpose of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of    
the Plan's management. The Fund Information in the statement of net assets
available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to
present the net assets available for benefits and changes in net assets
available for benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedules and Fund
Information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

CORRPRO COMPANIES, INC.
PROFIT SHARING PLAN AND TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN:

     General

The Corrpro Companies, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan and Trust (the "Plan") was
organized and adopted on April 1, 1984 by Corrpro Companies, Inc. (the
"Company") to encourage employee savings and to provide retirement benefits to
participants and/or their beneficiaries. It is administered by an advisory
committee (the "Committee") appointed by the Company. The Plan is subject to the
provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

The Plan's trustee maintains all records of investment transactions and
determines the valuation of the investment portfolio.

The above description of the Plan provides only general information.
Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description
of the Plan's provisions.

     Contributions and Eligibility

The Plan is a defined contribution plan and contains a 401(k) provision which
permits employees to contribute elective deferrals of up to 15% of their
eligible compensation, subject to certain Internal Revenue Code (the "Code")
limitations. Employees may make elective deferral contributions on the first day
of the month following the completion of 30 days of service.

The Plan also provides for an employer contribution to be determined solely at
the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance with the
limitations prescribed by the Plan. For employer contributions, all employees
are eligible to benefit beginning the first day of the month following the
completion of one month of service. For the fiscal year 1997, the Company
matched 20% of the first 3% of the employee's contribution. Effective April 1,
1997, for the fiscal year 1998, the Company began to match 50% of the first 4%
of the employee's contribution .

With the consent of the Committee and Trustee, an employee may request that the
Plan accept all or part of such employee's interest in another qualified plan or
individual retirement account. Such rollover contributions are maintained and
invested by the Trustee in a similar manner as other participant accounts. The
Plan's provisions with respect to rollover contributions were designed to comply
with the applicable sections of the Code.



                                       8

     Vesting

Participants are immediately vested in their elective deferral contributions and
rollover contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the remainder of
their accounts is based on years of service. A participant is vested based upon
a graduated schedule such that the participant is 100 percent vested after six
years of service or at the date of retirement, if earlier. If an employee
terminates employment prior to becoming 100 percent vested, his unvested portion
of employer contributions and interest thereon is forfeited.

     Participant Direction of Investments

The Plan provides that each participant or beneficiary may direct the investment
of his account balance among the following funds:

Investment options include the following:

Fidelity Growth & Income Fund

         The Fidelity Growth & Income Fund is invested in a diversified
         portfolio of equity and fixed-income securities.

Fidelity Magellan

         The Fidelity Magellan is invested primarily in common stock and
         securities convertible into common stocks of both domestic,
         multinational and foreign companies. Current income is not a
         consideration.

Guaranteed CIGNA Fund

         The Guaranteed CIGNA Fund is invested primarily in commercial mortgages
         and private bond placements. This fund has a full guarantee by CIGNA
         against loss of principal and credited interest. This interest rate is
         periodically reviewed and revised to reflect current investment
         conditions.

Life 20, 30, 40, 50 & 60 Funds ("CIGNA LIFETIME FUNDS")

         The "CIGNA LIFETIME FUNDS" are a family of five distinct investment
         portfolios structured to maximize return and minimize risk over a
         specific time period based on the participant's approximate age. Each
         fund is primarily invested in a diversified mix of stock and bond
         funds, designed to fit the time horizons and risk tolerances of
         investors at different stages of their lives.

         The Corrpro Companies, Inc. Common Stock Fund is invested only in
         common stock of the Company.

20th Century Ultra Fund

         The 20th Century Ultra Fund is invested primarily in common stocks of
         medium-sized companies that meet certain technical and fundamental
         criteria.

Vanguard Wellington Fund

         The Vanguard Wellington Fund is invested in a diversified portfolio of
         common stocks and bonds designed primarily to seek a conservation of
         principal and a reasonable income return.

Warburg Pincus Advisor Emerging Growth Fund

         The Warburg Pincus Advisor Emerging Growth Fund is invested primarily
         in common stocks and securities of small-to medium-sized companies for
         capital growth. Current income is not a consideration.

Warburg Pincus Advisor International Equity Fund

         The Warburg Pincus Advisor International Equity Fund is invested
         primarily in common stocks of companies that are generally non-U.S.
         based. Current income is not a consideration.

Currently, participating employees can elect to have their current contributions
invested in any of the funds available for employee contributions, or in any
combination of these funds on a daily basis in one percent increments.
Participating employees may also transfer amounts invested in any fund made
available for employee contributions on a daily basis in one percent increments.

     Participant Accounts

A separate account is maintained for each participant in the Plan, reflecting
contributions, investments, investment gains and losses, distributions, loans,
withdrawals and transfers. Each participant's account is credited with the
participant's elective deferral contribution and an allocation of (a) the
employer contributions, (b) plan earnings, and (c) forfeitures of terminated
participants' nonvested accounts. Allocations are based on participants' account
balances, as defined in the Plan.

Realized and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and market value changes of
investments and investment income of the Plan are allocated on a pro-rata basis
to the accounts of participants on a daily basis.

     Allocation of Employer Contributions and Forfeitures to Participant 
     Accounts

Any portion of a participant's account which is forfeited shall be held by the
Trustee for one year prior to being allocated among active Plan participants. In
any given year, the employer contributions and forfeitures, if any, are
allocated by the Trustee at the rate which each eligible participant's
compensation for the year bears to the total compensation for the Plan year.

During 1998 and 1997, the Plan had forfeiture credits in the amounts of $0 and
$35,988, respectively.

     Plan Withdrawals and Distributions

Upon termination of service due to death, disability or retirement, an employee
may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of his account
or annual installments upon approval by the Trustee. All withdrawals and
disbursements are subject to federal income tax upon receipt.

In situations of severe financial hardship, a participant may apply in writing
to the Committee for the distribution of his vested account balance. Such
hardship withdrawals may result in tax consequences to the employee as defined
in the Code.

     Termination Provisions

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the
Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of the Plan's termination,
participants will become immediately and fully vested in their participant
accounts.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

     Basis of Accounting

The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting.




                                       11

<PAGE>   12



     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 at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of changes in net assets available
for benefits during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

     Investments

The accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits reflect
investments at their fair values as of March 31, 1998 and 1997. The Plan's
trustee (CIGNA) maintains all records of investment transactions and determines
the valuation of the investment portfolio. Information with respect to: (1)
investments held and their market values as presented in the statements of
participants' equity and (2) unrealized appreciation and depreciation as
presented in the statements of changes in participants' equity has been
certified by the Plan's trustee as being complete and accurate.

The Plan has a guaranteed principal and interest contract, Guaranteed Income
Fund, with CIGNA. This contract is included in the financial statements at
contract value, which approximates fair value because it is fully
benefit-responsive. Contract value represents contributions made under the
contract, plus earnings, less Plan withdrawals and administrative expenses.
There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract
issuer or otherwise. The average yield and crediting interest rates were
approximately 5.2% and 5.1% for 1998 and 1997.

     Security Transactions and Investment Income

Purchases and sales of securities are reported on a trade date basis. Dividend
income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on
the accrual basis.

Proceeds from sales of securities, less market value at the beginning of the
Plan year or cost for purchases during the Plan year and net unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) based on market price fluctuations during the Plan
year or since date of acquisition, are included in the Statement of Changes in
Net Assets Available for Benefits.

     Plan Expenses

Fees for legal counsel and auditors of the Plan are paid by the Company and thus
are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. Costs specific to
various transactions are paid directly by the Plan and are reflected in the
accompanying statement.

NOTE 3 - TAX STATUS:

The Internal Revenue Service determined and informed the Company by a letter
dated July 31, 1995, that the Plan and related Trust are qualified under Section
401(a) of the Code as amended by the 1986 Tax Reform Act and is, therefore, not
subject to tax under present income tax law. Management anticipates that the
Plan will continue its status as a qualified plan.

NOTE 4 - LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS:

Participants may borrow up to fifty percent of their vested account balances
subject to a maximum of $50,000. All loans bear interest at market rates and are
secured by the vested account balances of the respective participants.

NOTE 5 - CPS PARTICIPANTS:

On July 16, 1997, the company acquired 100% of the stock of Cathodic Protection
Services Company. The Cathodic Protection Services Company's Plan was terminated
effective July 16, 1997 and its assets were transferred to the Plan on December
8, 1997.
