Item 2. Aquisition or Disposition of Assets

         On April 29, 1997, Budget Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), which was formerly named Team Rental Group, Inc., acquired all the
capital stock (the "BRACC Acquisition") of Budget Rent A Car Corporation, a
Delaware corporation ("BRACC"), pursuant to the terms of stock purchase
agreements (the "Stock Purchase Agreements") with Ford Motor Company ("Ford"),
BRACC and the common stockholder of BRACC. The consideration paid by Budget
pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreements consisted of (i) $275.0 million in
cash and (ii) the issuance to Ford of 4,500 shares of the Company's newly
created Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock is non-voting, does not carry a dividend and will automatically
be converted into 1,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per
share, of the Company (the "Class A Common Stock") at such time as the record
ownership of such share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is transferred
to or held by any person or any entity other than Ford or any affiliate of Ford.
Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreements, BRACC repaid a portion of its
outstanding indebtedness to Ford and Ford canceled a portion of the remaining
outstanding BRACC indebtedness.

         Concurrently with the BRACC Acquisition, (i) the Company issued
8,625,000 shares of Class A Common Stock in a public offering, resulting in
proceeds (less underwriting discounts and commissions) to the Company of
approximately $176.4 million, (ii) the Company issued $45.0 million aggregate
principal amount of 6.85% Convertible Subordinated Notes, Series B, due 2007,
(iii) BRACC issued $165.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.57% Guaranteed
Senior Notes due 2007, (iv) BRACC entered into a new $900.0 commercial paper
facility and a $500.0 million asset-backed note facility, and (v) BRACC entered
into a new $300.0 million working capital facility.

         The Company and BRACC (collectively, "Budget Group") and their
franchisees (collectively, the "Budget System") operate the third largest
worldwide general use car and truck rental system, with approximately 3,200
locations and a peak fleet size during 1996 of 266,000 cars and 18,000 trucks.
The Budget System includes locations in both the airport and local (downtown and
suburban) markets in all major metropolitan areas in the United States, in many
other small and mid-size U.S. markets and in more than 110 countries worldwide.
Pro forma for the BRACC Acquisition, the Budget System included approximately
455 company-owned locations in the United States at December 31, 1996,
accounting for approximately 76% of 1996 U.S. System-wide revenues. In addition,
Budget franchisees operated approximately 500 royalty-paying franchise locations
in the United States at December 31, 1996. Budget Group is also one of the
largest independent retailers of late model vehicles in the United States,
operating 22 retail car sales facilities with pro forma revenues of $246.9
million for 1996.

                        PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

INTRODUCTION
 
     The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements (the
"Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements") are based on the historical
financial statements of TEAM and BRACC as of and for the year ended December 31,
1996, adjusted to give effect to the transactions described below. The Pro Forma
Consolidated Statement of Operations gives effect to the following transactions
as if they had occurred on January 1, 1996: (i) certain transactions effected by
TEAM during 1996 that are more fully described below (the "1996 TEAM
Transactions") and (ii) the Budget Acquisition and certain related transactions
that are more fully described below (the "Budget Acquisition Transactions" and,
together with the 1996 TEAM Transactions, the "Transactions"). The Pro Forma
Consolidated Balance Sheet gives effect to the Budget Acquisition Transactions
as if they had occurred on December 31, 1996.
 
     The 1996 TEAM Transactions consist of the following: (i) TEAM's acquisition
of Van Pool, which was effective on February 1, 1996, TEAM's acquisition of the
Phoenix Budget franchise (the "Phoenix Acquisition"), which was effective on
March 1, 1996, and TEAM's acquisition of ValCar Rental Car Sales, Inc.
("ValCar"), which was effective on August 1, 1996 (the "ValCar Acquisition");
(ii) the sale of 3,821,007 shares of Class A Common Stock by TEAM in a public
offering in July 1996 (the "July 1996 Public Offering"); (iii) the partial
refinancing of TEAM's vehicle rental fleet in December 1996 through the $176.0
million aggregate principal amount Third Fleet Financing Facility; (iv) the
private placement of $80.0 million aggregate principal amount of Series A
Convertible Notes in December 1996; and (v) the repayment of certain of TEAM's
outstanding indebtedness from the proceeds of (ii), (iii) and (iv) above. The
Budget Acquisition Transactions consist of the following: (i) the Budget
Acquisition, including the repayment, purchase and forgiveness of certain
indebtedness and the necessary purchase accounting and elimination entries; (ii)
the Offering and the application of the net proceeds thereof; (iii) the Debt
Placements and the application of the net proceeds thereof; and (iv) the New
Fleet Financings and the application of the net proceeds thereof and the
repayment of certain of BRACC's outstanding indebtedness to Ford from the net
proceeds thereof. All acquisitions, including the Budget Acquisition, have been
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
 
     The Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements do not purport to represent
what Budget Group's results of operations or financial condition would have been
had the Transactions actually occurred on the dates indicated or to predict
Budget Group's results of operations or financial condition in the future. These
statements are qualified in their entirety by, and should be read in conjunction
with, the historical financial statements of TEAM and BRACC and the notes
thereto included elsewhere in this Prospectus and "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of TEAM" and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations of BRACC."
 
     The Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared using
the purchase method of accounting, whereby the total cost of the Budget
Acquisition will be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values at the effective
date of the Budget Acquisition. Such allocations will be based on studies and
valuations which have not yet been completed. Accordingly, the allocations
reflected in the Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements are preliminary and
subject to revision. However, Budget Group does not expect material changes to
the allocation of the purchase price.
 
     The Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements give effect only to the
adjustments set forth in the accompanying notes and do not reflect any other
benefits anticipated by management as a result of the Budget Acquisition
Transactions and the implementation of its business strategy or the possible
effects of the Supply Agreement and Advertising Agreement.

Because the Series A Convertible Notes are unsecured indebtedness,
the entire interest expense is included in non-vehicle interest
expense, even though a portion of the proceeds have been used to fund
the fleet. Based on the average fleet debt outstanding during the
period that could have been funded by the Series A Convertible Notes,
approximately $3,000 of the interest cost incurred is attributable to
funding the fleet.

     to TEAM's outstanding indebtedness. Under the terms of the Third Fleet
     Financing Facility, specified amounts of cash are required to be maintained
     in a restricted cash account, with such amounts earning interest at a rate

(e) Reflects the reduction in BRACC's indebtedness to Ford attributable to the
    issuance of 4,500 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of TEAM.
    The fair market value of the debt purchased of $97,313 was determined in

    the underlying value of the 4,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock into
    which

                (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
 
    the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible. Under the Stock
    Purchase Agreements, the underlying value of the shares of Class A Common
    Stock is determined based on the preceding ten-day average stock price as of
    the closing date (assumed to be March 21, 1997 for computational purposes).
    However, generally accepted accounting principles that address the
    determination of the market value of securities issued in a purchase
    business combination require that the value assigned to such securities be
    determined using the market price for a reasonable period before and after
    the date the terms of the acquisition are agreed to and publicly announced.
    Accordingly, the market value of the underlying 4,500,000 shares of Class A
    Common Stock for the three-day period surrounding January 13, 1997 (the date
    the Budget Acquisition was publicly announced) was used to determine the
    value of $105,750 to be assigned to the Series A Convertible Preferred
    Stock. The difference between the value assigned to the debt purchased and
    the value assigned to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be
    treated as an adjustment to goodwill.
 
(f) Reflects the forgiveness by Ford of $131,692 of indebtedness due from BRACC.
 
(g) Reflects an accrual of $500 for the estimated costs to register the shares
    of Class A Common Stock into which the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
    is convertible.
