BUDGET GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Budget Group,
Inc., previously named Team Rental Group, Inc. (the "Company") have been
prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations. The Company believes that the accompanying consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals)
which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the
Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows
for the periods presented.

It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996. 
Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 1997.

Certain amounts in the 1996 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform with the current year presentation.

On April 29, 1997, pursuant to stock purchase agreements entered into on
January 13, 1997 the Company completed its acquisition of Budget Rent a Car
Corporation ("BRACC") in a purchase transaction and changed its name to Budget
Group, Inc. After the consummation of the BRACC acquisition, BRACC and its
franchisees (collectively referred to as 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 is one of only three vehicle rental systems that offer rental vehicles
throughout the world under a single brand name, with locations in Europe,
Canada, Latin America, the Middle East, Asia/Pacific and Africa. The Budget
System currently maintains more local market rental locations throughout the
world than most of its major competitors. The Budget System is also unique among
major car rental systems in that it rents trucks in most major markets
worldwide. The Budget System's consumer truck rental fleet is the fourth largest
in the United States. BRACC is also one of the largest independent retailers of
late model vehicles in the United States, operating 23 retail car sales
facilities under the name "Budget Car Sales" with pro forma revenues of $246.9
million for 1996. The consolidated financial statements for the three and
six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 give effect to the Company's acquisition
of BRACC from the date of acquisition through the end of the period presented.
        
The consolidated financial statements for the three and six-month period ended  
June 30, 1996 give effect to the Company's acquisition of all of the
outstanding stock of the Budget franchise in Phoenix, Arizona and VPSI, 
Inc.("VPSI"), both of which were acquired in February 1996, from the date of
acquisition through the end of the period presented.



                                                                               7

2. 1996 ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of Van Pool Operations - In February 1996, the Company purchased for
a nominal amount all of the outstanding stock of VPSI located in Detroit,
Michigan. VPSI provides commuter van pooling services to business commuters in
22 states, and operated a rental fleet of approximately 3,300 vans as of the
acquisition date.

Acquisition of Phoenix Franchise - In February 1996, the Company purchased all
of the outstanding stock of Arizona Rent-A-Car Systems, Inc., located in
Phoenix, Arizona, for approximately $18 million consisting of cash of
approximately $5.0 million, promissory notes of $10.0 million and 272,727
shares of Class A common stock.

Acquisition of ValCar Rental Car Sales, Inc. - On August 1, 1996, the Company
acquired all of the outstanding stock of ValCar Rental Car Sales, Inc. for
$400,000 cash. ValCar owns and operates four retail vehicle sales facilities in
Indianapolis, Indiana, and was formerly owned by a director and officer of the
Company.

If the acquisitions (including the acquisition of BRACC)had occurred at the
beginning of the periods presented, the Company's results of operations would be
as shown in the following table. These unaudited pro forma results are not
necessarily indicative of the actual results of operations that would have
occurred had the acquisitions actually been made at the beginning of the
respective periods.

3. OTHER EVENTS

On April 17, 1997, the Company's Class A common stock began trading on the New
York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "BD". Prior to that time, the
Company's Class A Common Stock had been traded on the The Nasdaq National
Market.

In conjunction with and concurrent to the acquisition of BRACC on April 29, 
1997, the Company sold 8,625,000 shares of Class A common stock at a price of 
$21.625 in a public offering raising proceeds, net of underwriting commissions,

The common shares underlying the preferred stock had a value of approximately
$105.8 million for purposes of determining the purchase price (based on the
three day period surrounding January 13) and $97.3 million at the time of

maturing in 2007; (ii) $45.0 million of convertible subordinated notes at a

4. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Acquisition of Premier Car Rental, Inc. - On July 31, 1997, the Company acquired
the fleet and certain other assets and assumed certain liabilities of Premier
Car Rental, Inc. ("Premier") for approximately $87.2 million. Premier owns and
operates 9,000 vehicles from 101 locations in 13 major U.S. markets. Premier
will operate as its own brand and continue to serve the insurance replacement
market. In 1996, Premier had revenues of approximately $61 million. The Company
does not expect this acquisition to have a material effect on earnings in 1997.

         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

The Company's original operation, acquired in April 1987, was the Budget
franchise for the San Diego metropolitan area, exclusive of the airport
location, which it acquired in 1988. The Company acquired the Albany and
Rochester, New York franchises and the Richmond, Virginia franchise in 1991.
Concurrent with the Company's initial public offering on August 25, 1994, the
Company purchased the Budget operations in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania and Cincinnati, Ohio. In November 1994, the Company acquired the
Fort Wayne, Indiana Budget franchise and opened its first retail car sales
facility in San Diego, California. The Company acquired the Dayton, Ohio and
Charlotte, North Carolina Budget franchises in January 1995, the Hartford,
Connecticut Budget franchise in March 1995 and the Los Angeles Budget franchise
in October 1995. During 1995, the Company opened four retail car sales
facilities, including locations in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Richmond,
Virginia; Charlotte, North Carolina; and a second location in San Diego,
California; and acquired retail car sales facilities in Dayton, Ohio and
Ontario, California. In February 1996, the Company acquired the Phoenix, Arizona
Budget franchise territory and VPSI, Inc., a commuter van pooling service with
operations in many regions throughout the United States. In April 1996, the
Company opened two retail car sales facilities, including its first facility in
Cincinnati, Ohio and its second facility in Dayton, Ohio. In August 1996, the
Company acquired ValCar Rental Car Sales, Inc., the operator of four retail
vehicle sales facilities in Indianapolis, Indiana.

In April 1997, the Company acquired Budget Rent a Car Corporation and changed
its name to Budget Group, Inc. For a further discussion of this transaction, see
Note 1 to the Company's financial statements herein.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Historically, the Company's operations have been funded by cash provided from
operating activities and by financing provided by banks, automobile
manufacturers' captive finance companies and leasing companies. The Company's
existing indebtedness at June 30, 1997 has interest rates ranging from 5.6% to
9.6%. The Company intends to fund its operations through asset-backed notes and
revolving credit facilities with financial institutions for fleet financing and
working capital, as well as through other similar facilities and through
placements or offerings of additional debt and/or equity securities.

At June 30, 1997, the Company had $2.430 billion borrowed under asset-backed
notes, which are utilized largely to finance vehicles eligible for certain
manufacturers' guaranteed repurchase programs. Proceeds from the notes that are
temporarily unutilized for vehicle financing are maintained in restricted cash
accounts with the trustees. The notes are collateralized by the secured vehicles
and the restricted cash accounts. Rates on asset-backed notes at June 30, 1997
range from 5.6% to 7.8%.

The Company's other vehicle obligations consist of outstanding lines of credit
to purchase rental fleet and retail car sales inventory. Collateralized
available lines of credit at June 30, 1997 consist of $13 million for rental
vehicles and $26 million for retail car sales inventory with maturity dates
ranging from April 1997 through May 1998. Vehicle obligations are 
collateralized by revenue earning vehicles financed under these credit 
facilities and proceeds from the sale, lease or rental of rental vehicles and
retail car sales inventory. Interest payments for rental fleet facilities are 
due monthly at annual interest rates ranging from 6.9% to 8.5% at June 30, 
1997. Management expects vehicle obligations will generally be repaid within 
one year from the balance sheet date with proceeds received from either the 
repurchase of the vehicles by the manufacturers in accordance with the terms of
the manufacturers' rental fleet programs or from the sale of the vehicles.

Monthly payments of interest only for retail car sales inventory obligations are
required at an annual interest rate of 8.5% at June 30, 1997. Retail car sales
inventory obligations are paid when the inventory




                                                                              10

is sold but in no event later than 120 days after the date of purchase.

        
Working Capital Facilities. At June 30, 1997, the Company had a working capital 
facility of $300.0 million, which requires monthly interest payments on the 
outstanding balance at a rate based on LIBOR plus 1.75%. This agreement expires 
in 2002, is secured primarily by cash, accounts receivable and unencumbered 
vehicles and is subject to certain covenants, the most restrictive of which 
requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and minimum tangible 
net worth and restricts the payment of cash dividends.  At June 30, 1997, the 
Company had $256.1 million in letters of credit outstanding under this facility.

Senior Notes Payable. At June 30, 1997, the Company had $165.0 million of
outstanding senior notes payable. The notes bear interest at rate of 9.57% and 
mature in 2007.

Convertible Subordinated Notes. At June 30, 1997, the Company had $125.0 million
aggregate principal amount of Series A Convertible Notes outstanding. At a
conversion price of $20.07 per share, $80.0 million of the Series A Convertible
Notes are convertible into 3,986,049 shares of Class A Common Stock, bear 
interest at a rate of 7.0% and mature in 2007. At a conversion price of $27.96
per share, $45.0 million of the Series A Convertible Notes are convertible into 
1,609,442 shares of Class A Common Stock, bear interest at a rate of 6.85% and 
mature in 2007.

CHANGE IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets increased $3.013 billion from $587.2 million at December 31, 1996
to $3.600 billion at June 30, 1997. This increase resulted primarily from
increases in revenue-earning vehicles of $2.022 billion and intangibles of
$324.6 million. These increases were largely a result of the acquisition of
BRACC. Total liabilities increased $2.730 billion from $493.2 million at
December 31, 1996 to $3.223 billion at June 30, 1997 due primarily to an
additional $2.302 billion of net borrowings largely to finance the vehicles of
BRACC. The increase in stockholders' equity of approximately $284.6 million was
due to the common stock offering and issuance of convertible preferred stock in
April 1997 in conjunction with the acquisition of BRACC.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General Operating Results. Net income for the first six months of 1997
approximated that of the first six months of 1996 at $3.5 million. Earnings per
share for the first six months of 1997 decreased to $.21 per share from $.48
per share in 1996 due to the increase in average shares outstanding as a result
of the stock offerings (4.6 million shares in July 1996 and 8.6 million shares
in April 1997) and convertible preferred stock issued in connection with the
acquisition of BRACC (convertible into 4.5 million shares). Income before 
income taxes increased $.1 million for the first six months of 1997 to $6.0
million from $5.9 million for the first six months of 1996. Net income for the
second quarter of 1997 increased $.4 million to $2.6 million from $2.2 million
in the second quarter of 1996. Earnings per share for the second quarter of
1997 decreased to $.13 per share from $.30 per share in 1996 due to the
increase in average shares outstanding as previously mentioned. Income before
income taxes increased $.8 million in the second quarter of 1997 to $4.6
million from $3.8 million in the second quarter of 1996.


Operating Revenues. Vehicle rental revenue increased $190.7 million in the first
six months of 1997 to $294.6 million from $103.8 million in the first six months
of 1996. Such revenues for the second quarter of 1997 increased $176.7 million
to $235.9 million from $59.2 million in 1996. These increases were due to the
acquisition of BRACC which added a significant number of locations and vehicles
to the Company's operations. Revenue from the sales of vehicles increased $45.9
million in the first six months of 1997 to $101.6 million from $55.7 million in
the first six months of 1996. Such revenues for the second quarter of 1997
increased $23.2 million to $57.8 million from $34.6 million in 1996. These
increases were due to the addition of the car sales operations of BRACC as well
as new stores opened by the Company. Royalties and other revenues totaled $12.6
million in the six month and second quarter periods in 1997 and largely
represent royalty and other fees due from the Company's franchisees.

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses increased $230.1 million in the
first six months of 1997 to $371.5 million from $141.4 million in the first six
months of 1996. Such expenses for the second quarter




                                                                              11
<PAGE>   12


of 1997 increased $194.3 million to $277.2 million from $82.9 million in 1996.
These increases were also due to the addition of BRACC's operations to the
Company's operations. The cost of vehicles sold increased $38.8 million in the
first six months of 1997 to $86.1 million from $47.3 million in 1996. Such
expenses for the second quarter of 1997 increased $20.0 million to $49.5 million
from $29.5 million in 1996. These increases are reflective of the car sales
revenue growth with the addition of BRACC car sales locations and new locations
opened by the Company. Amortization expense increased $2.0 million in the first
six months of 1997 to $3.0 million from $1.0 million in the first six months of
1996. Such expenses for the second quarter of 1997 increased $1.9 million to
$2.4 million from $.5 million in 1996. These increases were largely due to
intangibles, including goodwill, related to the acquisition of BRACC.


Other (Income) Expense, net. Interest expense, net of interest income, increased
$19.2 million in the first six months of 1997 to $31.3 million from $12.2
million in the first six months of 1996. Such expenses for the second quarter of
1997 increased $17.4 million to $24.5 million from $7.1 million in 1996. These
increases were due to the financing of fleet and other borrowings related to the
acquisition of BRACC net of investment income due to the increase in cash .

Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes increased $.1 million
in the first six months of 1997 to $2.5 million from $2.4 million for the first
six months of 1996.  The provision for the second quarter of 1997 increased $.4
million to $1.9 million from $1.5 million in 1996. The tax provision reflects
the expected full year effective rate of 42% which is higher than the statutory
rate due to the effects of non-deductible intangible amortization and the impact
of state and local income taxes net of the federal benefit.

RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128"). SFAS
128 simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share and is effective
for all financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997.
Earlier application is not permitted. The adoption of SFAS 128 is not expected
to materially impact the Company's earnings per share.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    Not applicable.

ITEM 2   CHANGES IN SECURITIES

         In January 1997, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of
10,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, designated as the
"Series A Convertible Preferred Stock."  In connection with the acquisition of
BRACC 4,500 shares of Series A Convertible Preferrred Stock were issued to
Ford.

         The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ranks, with respect to
dividend rights and rights on liquidation, senior to the outstanding Class A
and Class B common stock (the "Common Stock").

         Each share of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is entitled to
receive dividends if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of the
Company out of funds legally available therefor.  Each share of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock is also entitled to receive cumulative cash
dividends in respect of each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in
such amount as the holder thereof would receive if such share were converted
into a share of Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the record date for
payment of any cash dividend on the Class A Common Stock.  No dividends may be 
declared by the Board of Directors on the Common Stock or any other class of 
stock ranking junior to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock unless full 
cumulative dividends have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid with
respect to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

         In the event of the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
affairs of the Company, after satisfaction of amounts payable to creditors,
holders of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to
receive distributions in the same amount that such holders would receive if
such shares were converted into shares of Class A Common Stock immediately
prior to the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the
Company in preference to any payment to holders of Common Stock or any other
securities ranking junior to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
