contained in this Prospectus (i) gives effect to the Recapitalization (as
defined herein) of the Company (see "Description of Capital Stock-

                                  THE COMPANY
 
  Carey International, Inc. ("Carey" or the "Company") is one of the world's
largest chauffeured vehicle service companies, providing services through a
worldwide network of owned and operated companies, licensees and affiliates
serving 420 cities in 65 countries. The "Carey" brand name has represented
quality chauffeured vehicle service since the 1920s. The Company owns and
operates its service providers in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, London,
Washington D.C., South Florida and Philadelphia. In addition, the Company
generates revenues from licensing the "Carey" name and providing central
reservation, billing and sales and marketing services to its licensees. The
Company's worldwide network also includes affiliates in locations in which the
Company has neither owned and operated companies nor licensees. Over the past
five years, the Company has invested significant capital in developing its
reservation, central billing and worldwide service infrastructure. By
leveraging its current infrastructure and position as a market leader, the
Company intends to consolidate the highly fragmented chauffeured vehicle
service industry through the acquisition of: (i) current Carey licensees, (ii)
additional companies in markets in which the Company already owns and operates
a chauffeured vehicle service company, and (iii) companies in other strategic
markets in North America, Europe and the Pacific rim of Asia.
 
  The Carey network utilizes chauffeured sedans, limousines, vans and minibuses
to provide services for airport pick-ups and drop-offs, inter-office transfers,
business and association meetings, conventions, roadshows, promotional tours,
special events, incentive travel and leisure travel. Businesses and business
travelers utilize the Company's services primarily as a management tool, to
achieve more efficient use of time and other resources.
 
  Carey's worldwide network of chauffeured vehicle service companies allows it
to provide services with consistently high quality to its customers in
virtually every major city in the expanding global travel market. The network
is linked to over 300,000 reservation terminals in travel agencies, corporate
travel departments and government offices by the Carey International
Reservation System (the "CIRS"), the chauffeured vehicle service industry's
most extensive centralized global reservation system.
 
  The  Company estimates that the United States chauffeured vehicle service
industry generated revenues of approximately $3.9 billion in 1996, and has
undergone steady growth in recent years, with revenues increasing at a compound
annual growth rate of 10.9% between 1990 and 1996. The industry is highly
fragmented, with approximately 9,000 companies utilizing over 100,000 vehicles.
The Company believes that during 1996 no chauffeured vehicle service company
accounted for more than 2% of total United States industry revenues. The
Company also believes that similar fragmentation exists in the chauffeured
vehicle service industry outside the United States.
 
  The Company's objective is to increase its profitability and its market share
in the chauffeured vehicle service industry by implementing the following
growth strategies:
 
    Expand through Acquisitions. Carey believes that there are significant
  opportunities to acquire additional chauffeured vehicle service companies
  that would benefit from the capital and management
 
                                       3

 
  resources that the Company can provide. Carey intends to acquire current
  Carey licensees, as well as additional chauffeured vehicle service
  companies both in markets in which the Company already owns and operates
  such a business and in other strategic regions in North America, Europe and
  the Pacific rim of Asia. Carey believes it has a competitive advantage in
  acquiring licensees because of a right of first refusal contained in a
  substantial majority of its domestic license agreements. The Company
  believes that it has less than a 10% market share in each of the markets in
  which it owns and operates a chauffeured vehicle service company, and that
  there is significant potential for it to expand its business in such
  markets through acquisitions. As the Company acquires additional
  chauffeured vehicle service companies, it anticipates that cost savings can
  be achieved through the consolidation of certain administrative functions
  and the elimination of redundant facilities, equipment and personnel.
 
    Carey has successfully begun to implement its acquisition strategy. Since
  October 1991, the Company has acquired 15 chauffeured vehicle service
  companies, including, since December 1994, two of its licensees (in Ft.
  Lauderdale/Miami and San Francisco) and six additional chauffeured vehicle
  service companies (two in each of Boca Raton and San Francisco, and one in
  each of Washington, D.C. and London). Upon the closing of this offering,
  the Company will acquire Manhattan International Limousine Network Ltd. and
  an affiliated company ("Manhattan Limousine"), one of the largest
  chauffeured vehicle service companies in the metropolitan New York area and
  the operator of a network of approximately 300 affiliates worldwide.
  Manhattan Limousine generated revenues of approximately $18.4 million
  during its fiscal year ended September 30, 1996, representing approximately
  23.4% of the Company's fiscal 1996 revenues on a pro forma basis. See
  "Acquisition of Manhattan Limousine" and "Pro Forma Consolidated Financial
  Statements."
 
    Increase International Market Share. Currently, approximately 12.8% of
  the Company's revenues are derived from services performed outside the
  United States. Carey believes that its network can capture a significant
  portion of the growing international market for chauffeured vehicle
  services by acquiring or licensing additional chauffeured vehicle service
  companies and otherwise implementing the Carey system outside the United
  States. The Company intends to increase its international presence by
  intensifying its sales and marketing efforts, strengthening its
  relationships with significant domestic and international business travel
  arrangers, and capitalizing on the capacity of the CIRS to operate on a
  global scale. By enhancing its international presence, the Company also
  expects to increase its revenues from providing chauffeured vehicle
  services to international travelers both visiting the United States and
  travelling abroad.
 
    Expand Licensee Network Worldwide. The Company will seek to expand its
  worldwide network and generate additional revenues from license and
  marketing fees by licensing additional chauffeured vehicle service
  companies in smaller markets that do not justify a Company-owned presence.
  Ultimately, as these less strategic markets grow in size and importance to
  the Company, the licensees in such markets may become acquisition
  candidates for the Company.
 
    Convert Salaried Chauffeurs to Independent Operators. The Company
  believes that it can improve its profitability by continuing to convert
  salaried chauffeurs to independent operators. The objective of Carey's
  independent operator strategy is to instill in each chauffeur the sense of
  purpose, responsibility and dedication characteristic of an independent
  business owner, thereby increasing the profitability of the chauffeur and
  the Company. Carey's independent operator program allows the Company to
  reduce its labor and capital costs, convert fixed costs to variable costs
  and generate revenues from fees paid by independent operators.
 
  The Company was organized as a Delaware corporation in 1979. The Company's
principal executive offices are located at 4530 Wisconsin Avenue, N.W.,
Washington, D.C. 20016. Its telephone number at that location is (202) 895-
1200. As used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, "Carey" or the
"Company" refers to Carey International, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

(1) Gives effect to the following events as if they had occurred on December 1,
    1995: (i) the acquisition of Camelot Barthropp Ltd. completed February
    1996, including the interest cost related to indebtedness incurred in
    connection with such acquisition, (ii) the acquisition of Manhattan
    Limousine (using statement of operations data for Manhattan Limousine's
    fiscal year ended September 30, 1996) and the amortization of associated

                                 RISK FACTORS
 
  The following factors should be considered, together with the other
information in this Prospectus, in evaluating an investment in the Company.
This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements which involve
risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially
from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result
of certain of the factors set forth in the following risk factors and
elsewhere in this Prospectus.
 
HISTORY OF LOSSES
 
  The Company has generated a net loss in three of the past four fiscal years.
Although the Company was profitable during the fiscal year ended November 30,
1996, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to sustain
profitability.
 
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ACQUISITION OF MANHATTAN LIMOUSINE
 
  The acquisition of Manhattan Limousine will be consummated simultaneously
with this offering. Manhattan Limousine generated pro forma revenues of
approximately $18.4 million during its fiscal year ended September 30, 1996,
representing approximately 23.4% of the Company's fiscal 1996 revenues on a
pro forma basis. As a result of the acquisition of Manhattan Limousine, nearly
half of the Company's revenues will be generated from services provided within
the New York City metropolitan area. The eventual integration of Manhattan
Limousine, which is the Company's largest acquisition to date, will place
significant demands on the Company's management and infrastructure, and there
can be no assurance that Manhattan Limousine's business will be successfully
integrated with that of the Company, that the Company will be able to realize
operating efficiencies or eliminate redundant costs, or that the combined
business will be operated profitably. Further, there can be no assurance that
customers of Manhattan Limousine will continue to do business with the
Company. The failure of the Company in any of these respects could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Acquisition of Manhattan
Limousine."
 
RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANY'S ACQUISITION STRATEGY
 
  The Company intends to grow primarily through the acquisition of additional
chauffeured vehicle service companies. Increased competition for acquisition
candidates may develop, in which event there may be fewer acquisition
opportunities available to the Company as well as higher acquisition costs for
the opportunities that are available. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to identify, acquire or profitably manage additional
businesses or successfully integrate any acquired businesses into the Company
without substantial costs, delays, or other operational or financial problems.
There also can be no assurance that the Company will be able to purchase its
licensees that operate in markets in which the Company does not own and
operate a chauffeured vehicle service company.
 
  The success of any acquisition will depend upon the Company's ability to
introduce automation and management systems, to convert salaried chauffeurs
employed by the acquired businesses to independent operators and to integrate
the acquired business with the Company's existing operations. Customer
dissatisfaction or performance problems at a single acquired company could
have an adverse effect on the reputation of the Company and the Company's
sales and marketing initiatives. There can be no assurance that any businesses
acquired in the future will achieve anticipated revenues and earnings.
Further, acquisitions involve a number of special risks, including possible
adverse effects on the Company's operating results, diversion of management's
attention, failure to retain key personnel at an acquired company, risks
associated with unanticipated events or liabilities and amortization of
goodwill or other acquired intangible assets, some or all of which could have
a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations. See "Business--Acquisition Strategy."
 
                                       7

 
RISKS RELATED TO ACQUISITION FINANCING
 
  The Company may choose to finance future acquisitions by using shares of its
Common Stock for a portion or all of the consideration to be paid. In the
event that the Common Stock does not maintain a sufficient market value, or
potential acquisition candidates are otherwise unwilling to accept Common
Stock as part of the consideration for the sale of their businesses, the
Company might not be able to utilize Common Stock as consideration for
acquisitions and would be required to utilize more of its cash resources, if
available, in order to maintain its acquisition program. If the Company does
not have sufficient cash resources, its growth could be limited unless it is
able to obtain additional capital through debt or equity financings. There can
be no assurance that such financing will be available if and when needed or on
terms acceptable to the Company. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital
Resources."
 
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH RAPID GROWTH
 
  As a result of the Manhattan Limousine acquisition, the continued
implementation of the Company's acquisition strategy and the expansion of the
Company's licensee network, the Company may experience rapid growth which
could place additional demands on the Company's administrative, operational
and financial resources. Managing future growth will depend on a number of
factors, including the maintenance of the quality of services the Company
provides to its customers, and the recruitment, motivation and retention of
qualified chauffeurs and other personnel. Sustaining growth will require
enhancements to the Company's operational and financial systems as well as
additional management, operational and financial resources. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to manage its expanding operations
effectively or that it will be able to maintain or accelerate its growth, and
any failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY FLUCTUATIONS
 
  The Company believes that its future operating results may continue to be
subject to quarterly variations caused by such factors as seasonal business
travel, variable scheduling of special events and the timing of acquisitions
by the Company. The Company's least profitable quarter generally has been the
first quarter (ending February 28 or 29), and its most profitable quarter
generally has been the fourth quarter (ending November 30). The Company's
operating results may be subject to considerable fluctuations caused by
special events, such as business and trade association meetings and
conventions and sporting events with national or international participation,
which do not necessarily recur annually, may not be held at the same time of
year and may not always be located in a city in which the Company owns and
operates a chauffeured vehicle service company. In addition, adverse economic
conditions may impact the Company's operating results by reducing the overall
number of road shows and promotional tours. All of these factors can cause
significant fluctuations in quarterly results of operations. Accordingly,
results in any fiscal quarter may not be indicative of results of future
quarters. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations--Quarterly Results of Operations."
 
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH LICENSEE OPERATIONS
 
  The Company has 38 licensees serving 106 cities in the United States and 24
licensees serving 105 cities outside the United States. Although a component
of the Company's strategy is to increase the number of licensees, there can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to attract qualified licensees in
desired locations. The failure of the Company to attract new licensees or the
failure of the Company's licensees to operate successfully could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations. In addition, the failure of one or more of the
Company's licensees to maintain the Company's service standards and conform to
the Carey system could have a material adverse effect on the reputation of the
Carey network and the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations.
 
  In addition, the Company is subject to federal regulation and certain state
laws which govern the offer and sale of franchises. Most state franchise laws
impose substantive requirements on the franchise agreement,
 
                                       8

 
including limitations on non-competition provisions and termination or non-
renewal of a franchise. Some states require that certain materials be
registered before franchises can be offered or sold in that state. Violations
of federal regulations and the state franchising laws could result in civil
penalties against the Company and civil and criminal penalties against the
executive officers of the Company. No assurance can be given that the Company
will not be required to cease offering and selling licenses in certain states
because of future changes in franchise laws or the Company's inability to
comply with existing franchise laws.
 
STATUS OF INDEPENDENT OPERATORS
 
  The Company's ability to benefit from conversions of salaried chauffeurs to
independent operators will depend, in part, on the Company's continued ability
to classify independent operators as third party contractors rather than as
employees. The Company does not pay or withhold any federal or state
employment tax with respect to or on behalf of independent operators. The
Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") previously has challenged the Company
with respect to that policy. Recently, the IRS adopted guidelines that
chauffeured vehicle service providers such as the Company can follow in order
to treat independent operators as third party contractors rather than as
employees. The Company believes that its practices conform to such guidelines.
If, however, the Company's practices are determined not to conform with the
guidelines, or if it is adjudicated that the Company is required to treat
independent operators as employees, the Company could become responsible for
certain past and future employment taxes. There can be no assurance that, in
the event of such an adverse adjudication, there will not be a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations. See "Business--Independent Operators."
 
INDEPENDENT OPERATOR FINANCING
 
  An important component of the Company's business strategy for its owned and
operated companies involves the preferred use of independent operators instead
of salaried chauffeurs operating Company-owned vehicles. A chauffeur becomes
an independent operator by signing an agreement to pay a fee to the Company.
The payment of independent operator fees historically has been financed by the
Company, financing companies or banks. Prior to September 1996, the Company
usually sold to third parties the independent operator notes initially
financed by it. Since September 1996, the Company has ceased selling such
notes to third parties. Because the Company now bears most of the risk
relating to payment of these notes, significant defaults in their payment
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations. Each new independent operator is required
to own or obtain his or her vehicle. The Company generally does not finance
vehicle purchases by its independent operators. As a result, the ability of
independent operators to obtain their own vehicles, a requirement for
conversions from salaried chauffeurs to independent operators, will depend
upon the availability of third party vehicle financing for independent
operators. The inability of independent operators to obtain vehicle financing
will adversely affect the Company's ability to utilize independent operators,
and would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that such
financing will be available if and when needed or on terms acceptable to
potential independent operators. See "Business--Independent Operators."
 
POTENTIAL ADVERSE EFFECT OF LITIGATION
 
  The Company, certain of its subsidiaries and certain of its officers and
directors currently are named as defendants in a complaint, purporting to be a
class action, alleging that the plaintiff and others similarly situated
suffered monetary damages as a result of misrepresentations by the defendants
in their use of a surface transportation billing charge. The Company has
denied all claims made against it and intends to vigorously defend the
lawsuit. Defense of lawsuits against the Company can be expensive and time-
consuming, regardless of the outcome, and an adverse result in a lawsuit could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition
and results of operations. See "Business--Legal Proceedings."
 
FACTORS AFFECTING TRAVEL
 
  The Company is subject to risks generally affecting levels of business
travel, including economic cycles, political changes, terrorist threats or
acts and technological advances. The Company cannot predict the likelihood
 
                                       9

 
of occurrence of any such events. If the occurrence of any such event
significantly reduces domestic or international travel, there could be a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.
 
INSURANCE COVERAGE AND CLAIMS
 
  The Company is exposed to claims for personal injury or death and property
damage as a result of automobile accidents involving chauffeured vehicles
operated by its employees and independent operators and by its licensees and
their drivers. The Company maintains, and the Company's independent operators
are required to maintain, levels of insurance which the Company believes to be
adequate. The Company's licensees are required to maintain adequate levels of
insurance and are required to name the Company as an additional insured on
their insurance policies. There can be no assurance, however, that the limits
and the scope of any such insurance coverage will be adequate. The cost of
maintaining personal injury, property damage and workers' compensation
insurance is significant. The Company and its independent operators and
licensees could experience higher insurance premiums as a result of adverse
claims experiences, general increases in premiums by insurance carriers or
both. Significant increases in such premiums could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations. See "Business--Independent Operators" and "Business--Insurance."
 
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
 
  While the Company has numerous senior managers with many years of experience
in the chauffeured vehicle service industry, the Company's success is
dependent on the efforts, abilities and leadership of its executive officers,
particularly, Vincent A. Wolfington, the Company's Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer, and Don R. Dailey, the Company's President. The Company
currently does not have employment agreements with any of its executive
officers. The loss of the services of one or more of such officers could have
a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.
 
COMPETITION
 
  The chauffeured vehicle service industry is highly competitive and
fragmented with few significant national participants operating multi-city
reservation systems. Each local market usually contains numerous local
participants as well as a few companies offering regional and national
service. Chauffeured vehicle service companies compete primarily on the basis
of price, quality, scope of service and dependability. The Company also
competes with service providers offering alternative modes of transportation,
such as buses, jitney services, taxis, radio cars and rental cars. The Company
competes both for customers and for possible acquisitions. The Company expects
its business to become more competitive as existing competitors expand and
additional companies enter the market. Certain of the Company's existing
competitors have, and any new competitors that enter the industry may have,
access to significantly greater financial resources than the Company.
Competitive market conditions could have a material adverse affect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. See
"Business--Competition."
 
POSSIBLE FUTURE SALES OF SHARES
 
  Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock in the public market after this
offering under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), or otherwise, or the perception that such sales could
occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices of the Common Stock and
could impair the future ability of the Company to raise capital through an
offering of its equity securities or to use such securities as consideration
in acquisitions. Upon the completion of this offering, the holders of the
Company's securities who did not purchase Common Stock in this offering will
hold 4,559,180 shares of Common Stock, including (i) an aggregate of 1,143,336
shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants and (ii)
an aggregate of 200,000 shares issued in connection with the acquisition of
Manhattan Limousine (assuming an initial public offering price of $12.00 per
share), all of which will be "restricted securities" within the meaning
 
                                      10

 
of the Securities Act. Subject to the contractual lockup provisions discussed
below and unless the resale of the shares is registered under the Securities
Act, these shares may not be sold in the open market unless in compliance with
the applicable requirements of Rule 144. The Company and the holders of at
least 4,000,000 of such shares have agreed not to offer, sell, contract to
sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock, or any securities
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, for a period
of 180 days after the date of this Prospectus without the prior written
consent of Montgomery Securities except for (i) in the case of the Company,
Common Stock issued pursuant to any employee or director plan described herein
or in connection with acquisitions and (ii) in the case of the Company's
directors and executive officers, the exercise of stock options pursuant to
benefit plans described herein and shares of Common Stock disposed of as bona
fide gifts, subject, in each case, to any remaining portion of the 180-day
period applying to any shares so issued or transferred. In connection with
future acquisitions, the Company may issue shares of Common Stock which, if
the Company also files a registration statement under the Securities Act with
respect to such shares, may be subject to immediate resale, subject to any
remaining portion of the 180-day period applying to any shares so issued. See
"Shares Eligible for Future Sale" and "Underwriting."
 
CERTAIN ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS
 
  Certain provisions of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
By-laws and Delaware law could, together or separately, discourage potential
acquisition proposals, delay or prevent a change in control of the Company and
limit the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future
for shares of the Common Stock. Those provisions, among other things, provide
for a classified Board of Directors, allow the issuance, without further
stockholder approval, of preferred stock with rights and privileges that could
be senior to the Common Stock, prohibit the stockholders from calling special
meetings of stockholders, restrict the ability of stockholders to nominate
directors and submit proposals to be considered at stockholders' meetings,
impose a supermajority voting requirement in connection with stockholders'
amendments to the By-laws and prohibit stockholders after this offering from
acting by written consent in lieu of a meeting. The Company also is subject to
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Laws (the "DGCL") which,
subject to certain exceptions, prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging
in any of a broad range of business combinations with any "interested
stockholder" for a period of three years following the date on which such
stockholder became an interested stockholder. See "Description of Capital
Stock."
 
NO PRIOR MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK; POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE
 
  Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for the Common
Stock, and there can be no assurance that an active public market for the
Common Stock will develop or continue after this offering. The initial public
offering price was determined by negotiations between the Company and the
Representatives of the Underwriters, and may not be indicative of the market
price for the Common Stock after this offering. See "Underwriting" for factors
considered in determining the initial public offering price. From time to time
after this offering, there may be significant volatility in the market price
for the Common Stock. Quarterly operating results of the Company, changes in
general conditions in the economy or the chauffeured vehicle service industry,
or other developments affecting the Company, its licensees and affiliates or
the Company's competitors could cause the market price of the Common Stock to
fluctuate substantially. The equity markets have, on occasion, experienced
significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices
for many companies' securities and have been unrelated to the operating
performance of those companies. Any such fluctuations that occur following
completion of this offering may adversely affect the prevailing market price
of the Common Stock.
 
IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION
 
  The purchasers of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby will experience
immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of their
shares of Common Stock in the amount of $11.45 per share. See "Dilution."
 
                                      11

 
                      ACQUISITION OF MANHATTAN LIMOUSINE
 
  Simultaneously with the completion of this offering, the Company will
acquire Manhattan International Limousine Network Ltd. and an affiliated
company ("Manhattan Limousine") for aggregate consideration of $14.2 million,
composed of (i) $7.1 million in cash, (ii) $4.7 million in promissory notes
bearing interest at the rate of 8.0% per annum and payable one year from the
date of the acquisition, and (iii) 200,000 shares of Common Stock (assuming an
initial public offering price of $12.00 per share). In addition, the Company
will assume approximately $3.7 million of outstanding indebtedness of
Manhattan Limousine. If the acquisition of Manhattan Limousine is not
completed by May 20, 1997, the Company has agreed to pay additional purchase
price in the amount of $7,500 for each day after such date until the closing
of the acquisition, up to an aggregate of $675,000. Pursuant to the terms of
the acquisition, Manhattan Limousine will distribute to its stockholders prior
to the closing approximately $3.8 million in assets and $2.3 million in
liabilities. See Note 3 to "Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements."
 
  Manhattan Limousine is one of the largest chauffeured vehicle service
companies in the New York metropolitan area, with revenues in 1996 totalling
approximately $18.4 million. Manhattan Limousine also operates the Manhattan
International Limousine Network of more than 300 worldwide affiliates, a
significant majority of which are located in cities in which the Company
already has affiliates. In some cities the Company and Manhattan Limousine
share common affiliates. See the Manhattan Limousine Consolidated Financial
Statements and related notes thereto.
 
  Manhattan Limousine's independent operators are responsible for a fleet
consisting of approximately 125 sedans and limousines. Manhattan Limousine
derives revenues from contracts with major airlines, including Virgin Atlantic
and Aer Lingus, and with many of the premier hotels in New York City,
including the Four Seasons and the Plaza Hotel, as well as from other
corporate and individual customers. In 1996, approximately 18.0% of Manhattan
Limousine's revenues were derived from services performed for Virgin Atlantic.
 
                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
  The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the 2,900,000 shares of
Common Stock offered by it (assuming an initial public offering price of
$12.00 per share and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and
commissions and offering expenses) are estimated to be approximately $31.2
million (approximately $36.0 million if the Underwriters' over-allotment
option is exercised in full).
 
  The Company will use approximately $9.1 million of the net proceeds to repay
principal and interest with respect to certain indebtedness which was incurred
to finance certain of the Company's acquisitions and for working capital
purposes. Such indebtedness bears interest at rates ranging from 9.0% to
12.0%, has a weighted average interest rate of 10.0% and matures at various
dates through March 1, 2001. Vincent A. Wolfington, the Company's Chairman of
the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Don R. Dailey, President and a
director of the Company, have personally guaranteed $3.9 million of such
indebtedness. These personal guarantees will be terminated upon the repayment
of the underlying indebtedness.
 
  The Company currently intends to use approximately $11.8 million of the net
proceeds of this offering to pay the cash and note portion of the purchase
price for the acquisition of Manhattan Limousine. The Company also will
utilize approximately $3.7 million of the net proceeds to repay certain
indebtedness assumed upon the acquisition of Manhattan Limousine.
 
  Approximately $3.1 million of the net proceeds will be used by the Company
to redeem all outstanding shares of its Series A and Series F Preferred Stock
and certain shares of its Series G Preferred Stock in connection with the
Recapitalization. See "Certain Transactions" and "Description of Capital
Stock--Recapitalization."
 
  The balance of the net proceeds from this offering, approximately $3.4
million, will be used for acquisitions and other general corporate purposes,
including working capital. Except for the acquisition of Manhattan Limousine,
the Company currently has no existing commitment or agreement with respect to
any acquisition. The Company regularly reviews potential acquisition
candidates and has held preliminary discussions with a number of such
candidates.
 
  Pending such uses, the Company intends to invest the net proceeds in short-
term, investment grade securities.
 
                                      12

 
                                   DILUTION
 
  The deficit in the pro forma net tangible book value of the Company as of
November 30, 1996, after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common
Stock as part of the Recapitalization, was approximately $7.8 million, or
$(2.41) per share. The deficit in net tangible book value is determined by
subtracting franchise rights, goodwill and all other intangible assets from
total stockholders' equity. After giving effect to (i) the sale by the Company
of 2,900,000 shares of Common Stock in this offering at an assumed initial
public offering price of $12.00 per share after deducting underwriting
discounts and estimated offering expenses, and (ii) the acquisition of
Manhattan Limousine, the pro forma net tangible book value at November 30,
1996 would have been approximately $3.5 million, or $.55 per share. This

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and related notes thereto and "Selected Consolidated
Financial Data" appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. Unless otherwise
indicated or the context otherwise requires, each reference to a year is to
the Company's fiscal year which ends on November 30 of such year.
 
OVERVIEW
 
  The Company generates revenues primarily from chauffeured vehicle services
provided by (i) Carey's owned and operated businesses and (ii) Carey's
licensees and affiliates when services provided by such licensees and
affiliates are billed through the Company's central reservation and billing
system. In 1995 and 1996, approximately 74.7% and 73.6%, respectively, of the
Company's revenue, net was generated by chauffeured vehicle services provided
by the Company's owned and operated businesses. Carey also generates revenues
from its licensees through fees (both initial and monthly) related to (i)
licensing the use of its name and service mark, (ii) its central reservation
and billing services and (iii) its marketing activities. In May 1995, the
Company began charging its licensees for the use of its central reservation
and billing services. To a lesser extent, the Company derives revenues from
the payment of fees by independent operators. The Company recognizes revenue
from these fees ratably over the term of the independent operator's agreement
with the Company, which typically ranges from 10 to 20 years. As of November
30, 1996, the Company had $6.2 million of deferred revenue on its balance
sheet ($13.1 million on a pro forma basis reflecting the acquisition of
Manhattan Limousine).
 
  Cost of revenue primarily consists of amounts due to the Company's
independent operators. The amount due to independent operators is a percentage
(ranging from 60% to 65%) of the charges for services provided, net of
discounts and commissions. Cost of revenue also includes amounts due to the
Company's licensees and affiliates for chauffeured vehicle services provided
by them and billed by the Company. Such amounts generally include the charges
for services provided less a referral fee ranging from 15% to 25% of net
vehicle service revenue. Cost of revenue also includes salaries and benefits
paid to chauffeurs employed by the Company. To a lesser extent, cost of
revenue includes costs associated with owning and maintaining the vehicles
owned by the Company, telecommunications expenses, salaries and benefits for
reservationists, marketing expenses for the benefit of licensees, and
commissions due to travel agents and credit card companies.
 
  Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of
compensation and related benefits for the Company's officers and
administrative personnel, marketing and promotional expenses for the Company's
owned and operated chauffeured vehicle service companies, and professional
fees, as well as amortization costs related to the intangibles recorded as a
result of the Company's acquisitions.
 
  In addition to internal growth from the Company's sales and marketing
efforts, an important component in the Company's growth to date has been the
acquisition of its licensees and other chauffeured vehicle service companies.
Since December 1994, Carey has acquired eight chauffeured vehicle service
companies. Each of these acquisitions was made for cash and the issuance or
assumption of notes and was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. A substantial majority of the purchase price paid by the Company
in each such acquisition represented goodwill, franchise rights (if a licensee
was acquired) and/or other intangibles. Such franchise rights and goodwill are
amortized over 30 years on a straight-line basis and amounted to $12.6 million
(net of accumulated amortization) as of November 30, 1996. As a result of the
acquisition of Manhattan Limousine, the Company will recognize an additional
$19.1 million of goodwill.
 
  The results of operations for the acquired companies have been included in
the Company's consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of
acquisition. Carey expects to benefit from each of its acquisitions by
consolidating general and administrative functions, increasing operating
efficiencies, and, as a
 
                                      16

 
result of converting salaried chauffeurs to independent operators, eliminating
the overhead and capital costs associated with employing salaried chauffeurs,
leasing garages, maintaining parts and fuel inventories, and owning and
operating vehicles. The Company generally realizes these benefits within six
to twelve months after an acquisition, depending upon whether the acquisition
is of a chauffeured vehicle service company in a location in which the Company
already operates, or of a licensee in a market where Carey has yet to
establish operations.

YEAR ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1995
 
  Revenue, Net. Revenue, net increased approximately $16.0 million or 36.8%
from $43.5 million in 1995 to $59.5 million in 1996. Of the increase,
approximately $9.6 million was contributed by existing operations as a result
of expanded use of the Carey network, including an increase in business from
corporate travel customers and business travel arrangers, and approximately
$6.4 million was due to revenues of companies which were acquired from
December 1994 through February 1996.
 
  Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue increased approximately $10.5 million or
35.1% from $29.9 million in 1995 to $40.4 million in 1996. The increase was
primarily attributable to higher costs due to increased business levels. Cost
of revenue decreased as a percentage of revenue from 68.9% in 1995 to 68.0% in
1996 as a result of spreading the fixed costs of the Company's reservations
infrastructure over a larger revenue base.
 
  Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased approximately $2.7 million or 21.4% from
$12.4 million in 1995 to $15.1 million in 1996. The increase was largely due
to higher administrative costs associated with additional personnel, increased
marketing and promotional expenses, and higher amortization of intangibles as
a result of acquisitions. Selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased as a percentage of net revenue from 28.6% in 1995 to 25.3% in 1996
as a result of an increase in revenue without a comparable increase in
administrative costs.
 
  Interest Expense. Interest expense was approximately $1.7 million in each of
1995 and 1996. Interest expense decreased as a percentage of net revenue from
3.0% in 1995 to 2.1% in 1996.
 
  Provision (benefit) for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was
nominal in 1995 and in 1996. Prior to 1996, the Company recorded a valuation
allowance against its net deferred tax assets. This allowance was reversed in
1996 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The reversal
reduced the
 
                                      17

 
provision for income taxes in 1996 by approximately $1.5 million. The increase
in the provision recordable in 1996, which was offset by the effect of
reducing the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, was attributable
to the Company's increased pretax profit level in 1996 which exceeded the
beneficial tax effect of net operating loss carryforwards of prior years. The
Company has utilized the full amount of its net operating loss carryforwards.
 
  Net Income (Loss). As a result of the foregoing, the Company had net income
of approximately $2.8 million in 1996 compared to a net loss of approximately
$195,000 in 1995.
 
YEAR ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1995 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1994
 
  Revenue, Net. Revenue, net increased approximately $8.0 million or 22.4%
from $35.5 million in 1994 to $43.5 million in 1995. Of the increase,
approximately $4.7 million was due to revenues of companies acquired from
December 1994 through August 1995, as well as the full year effect in 1995 of
companies acquired in 1994. Approximately $3.3 million of the increase was
contributed by existing operations as a result of an increase in business from
corporate travel customers, business travel arrangers, special event business,
and the implementation in mid-1995 of charges to licensees for central
reservation and billing services.
 
  Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue increased approximately $4.9 million or
20.0% from $25.0 million in 1994 to $29.9 million in 1995. The increase was
primarily attributable to higher operating costs due to increased business
levels and to operating costs related to acquired companies. Cost of revenue
decreased as a percentage of revenue from 70.2% in 1994 to 68.9% in 1995 as a
result of increased utilization of the Company's operating resources and the
implementation, in mid-1995, of charges to licensees for central reservation
and billing services which did not result in a corresponding increase in cost.
 
  Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased approximately $2.9 million or 30.9% from
$9.5 million in 1994 to $12.4 million in 1995. This increase was largely due
to higher costs associated with additional personnel, increased marketing and
promotional expense, and the increase in the amortization of intangibles
recorded as a result of acquisitions. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased as a percentage of revenue from 26.7% in 1994 to 28.6% in
1995 as a result of relatively higher levels of administrative costs in
existing operations and additional expenses related to companies acquired late
in 1995 whose operations were not consolidated with the Company's operations
until 1996.
 
  Interest Expense. Interest expense increased approximately $334,000 or 24.8%
from approximately $1.4 million in 1994 to $1.7 million in 1995. This increase
was due to net increases in debt in 1995 to fund acquisitions. Interest
expense as a percentage of revenue increased slightly from 3.8% in 1994 to
3.9% in 1995.
 
  Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was nominal in
1994 and in 1995.
 
  Net Loss. As a result of the foregoing, the Company had a net loss of
approximately $195,000 in 1995 compared to a net loss of approximately
$129,000 in 1994.

  The Company believes that its future operating results may continue to be
subject to quarterly variations caused by such factors as seasonal business
travel, variable scheduling of special events and the timing of acquisitions
by the Company. The Company's least profitable quarter generally has been the
first quarter (ending February 28 or 29), and its most profitable quarter
generally has been the fourth quarter (ending November 30).
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  The Company's primary sources of funding have been cash flow from
operations, proceeds from the bulk sale of independent operator notes,
commercial bank credit facilities, notes issued by the Company to sellers of
acquired chauffeured vehicle service companies and, to a lesser extent, the
sale of vehicles obtained from acquired companies. For the three-year period
ended November 30, 1996, the Company generated $7.9 million in cash from
operating activities, had aggregate borrowings to fund acquisitions of $6.5
million and had proceeds from bulk sales of notes from independent operators
of approximately $2.6 million. The Company anticipates that in addition to the
proceeds from this offering, cash flow from operations and borrowings under
credit facilities will be its principal sources of funding. The Company has
discontinued its practice of selling notes received from independent
operators.
 
  The Company's principal uses of cash have been, and will continue to be, the
funding of acquisitions, repayment of debt, and investment in both its
centralized reservation facility and its automated operation and information
systems.
 
  Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $1.9 million from
1995 to 1996 primarily as a result of an increase in operating income, as
adjusted for depreciation and amortization of fixed assets, franchise rights
and goodwill from acquired operations. Net cash provided by operating
activities increased by approximately $2.0 million from 1994 to 1995 primarily
as a result of the timing of payments to independent operators to support
increased working capital requirements and as a result of its acquisition
activities and internal growth. As of November 30, 1996, the Company's working
capital deficit and current ratio were approximately $1.7
 
                                      19

 
million and 0.90, respectively, as a result of the high level of short term
debt generated as a result of the Company's practice of borrowing against its
cash flow rather than its assets, many of which are intangible in nature. The
Company may continue to experience working capital deficits as a result of
short term borrowings to finance its acquisition strategy.
 
  Cash was used in investing activities in 1995 and 1996 primarily for the
acquisition of chauffeured vehicle service companies. In 1994, relatively
little acquisition activity occurred and cash for investment purposes was used
primarily for capital expenditures unrelated to acquisitions. In all periods,
funds used for acquisitions and capital expenditures were offset to some
degree by proceeds from the sale of fixed assets, primarily vehicles acquired
in connection with the purchase of chauffeured vehicle service businesses.
 
  Cash used in financing activities increased by $2.7 million from 1995 to
1996 primarily as a result of increased repayment of notes payable related to
acquisitions. Cash provided by financing activities increased by $2.7 million
from 1994 to 1995 primarily as a result of increased borrowings and increases
in the bulk sale of notes receivable from independent operators.
 
  At November 30, 1996, the Company had borrowings, exclusive of notes payable
to sellers of chauffeured vehicle service companies, in the amount of
approximately $14.7 million. This debt was composed of (i) a $3.9 million term
loan which is collateralized by the stock of the Company's United States
subsidiaries, (ii) $1.3 million term loan which is collateralized by an
assignment of the Carey name and trademark and license agreements related
thereto, (iii) $5.8 million in subordinated debt, and (iv) $3.7 million in
debt to commercial banks, which borrowings are typically collateralized by a
subsidiary's accounts receivable and other assets. Of the Company's total debt
at November 30, 1996, approximately $9.1 million will be repaid from the
proceeds of this offering. See "Use of Proceeds." As part of the
Recapitalization, a further $4.9 million of the debt will be converted to
Common Stock of the Company, approximately $1.3 million of the Company's
Series G and Series F Preferred Stock will be redeemed for cash in the amount
of $1,000,000, and all outstanding shares of the Company's Series A Preferred
Stock will be redeemed for $2,103,500 in cash and 86,003 shares of Common
Stock, which payment will be made from the proceeds of this offering. See
"Description of Capital Stock--Recapitalization."
 
  The Company intends to establish a senior credit facility of approximately
$25 million in the aggregate subject to the completion of this offering, to be
used primarily for acquisitions. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be successful in obtaining such a credit facility or that, if obtained,
it will be on terms and conditions favorable to the Company. While there can
be no assurance, management believes that cash flow from operations, funds
from any new credit facilities established and net proceeds to the Company
from this offering will be adequate to meet the Company's capital requirements
for the next 12 months, depending on the size and methods of financing
potential acquisitions. While the Company historically has financed
acquisitions primarily with cash, it may seek to finance future acquisitions
by using Common Stock for a portion or all of the consideration to be paid.
 
IMPACT OF INFLATION AND FOREIGN CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS
 
  The Company does not believe that inflation and foreign currency fluctuation
has had, or will have, a material impact on the financial position and results
of operation.

                                   BUSINESS
 
  Carey International, Inc. is one of the world's largest chauffeured vehicle
service companies, providing services through a worldwide network of owned and
operated companies, licensees and affiliates serving 420 cities in 65
countries. The "Carey" brand name has represented quality chauffeured vehicle
services since the 1920s. The Company owns and operates its service providers
in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, London, Washington D.C., South
Florida and Philadelphia. In addition, the Company generates revenues from
licensing the "Carey" name and providing central reservation, billing and
sales and marketing services to its licensees. The Company's worldwide network
also includes affiliates in locations in which the Company has neither owned
and operated companies nor licensees. Over the past five years, the Company
has invested significant capital in developing its reservation, central
billing and worldwide service infrastructure. By leveraging its current
infrastructure and position as a market leader, the Company intends to
consolidate the highly fragmented chauffeured vehicle service industry through
the acquisition of: (i) current Carey licensees, (ii) additional companies in
markets in which the Company already owns and operates a chauffeured vehicle
service company, and (iii) companies in other strategic markets in North
America, Europe and the Pacific rim of Asia.
 
  The Carey network utilizes chauffeured sedans, limousines, vans and
minibuses to provide services for airport pick-ups and drop-offs, inter-office
transfers, business and association meetings, conventions, roadshows,
promotional tours, special events, incentive travel and leisure travel.
Businesses and business travelers utilize the Company's services primarily as
a management tool, to achieve more efficient use of time and other resources.
 
  Carey's worldwide network of chauffeured vehicle service companies allows it
to provide services with consistently high quality to its customers in
virtually every major city in the expanding global travel market. The network
is linked to over 300,000 reservation terminals in travel agencies, corporate
travel departments and government agencies by the Carey International
Reservation System (the "CIRS"), the chauffeured vehicle service industry's
most extensive centralized global reservation system.
 
MARKET OVERVIEW
 
  The Company estimates that the United States chauffeured vehicle service
industry generated revenues of approximately $3.9 billion in 1996, and has
undergone steady growth in recent years, with revenues increasing at a
compound annual growth rate of 10.9% between 1990 and 1996. The industry is
highly fragmented, with approximately 9,000 companies utilizing over 100,000
vehicles. The Company believes that during 1996 no chauffeured vehicle service
company accounted for more than 2% of total United States industry revenues.
The Company also believes that similar fragmentation exists in the chauffeured
vehicle service industry outside the United States.
 
  The chauffeured vehicle service industry serves businesses in virtually all
industrial and financial sectors of the economy. The Company believes that
business customers are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their use of
ground vehicle services and are demanding a broader array of "meet-and-greet"
and other services, as well as business amenities such as cellular phones.
Although there are other forms of transportation that compete with chauffeured
vehicles, such as buses, jitney services, taxis, radio cars and rental cars,
the Company believes that none of those forms of transportation provides the
quality, dependability and value-added services of chauffeur-driven vehicles.
The Company also believes that businesses place a premium on service providers
that are able to coordinate the travel itinerary of each member of a large
group over many locations with a single reservation and billing system.
 
BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
  The Company's objective is to increase its profitability and its market
share in the chauffeured vehicle service industry by implementing the
following growth strategies:
 
    Expand through Acquisitions. Carey believes that there are significant
  opportunities to acquire additional chauffeured vehicle service companies
  that would benefit from the capital and management resources that the
  Company can provide. Carey intends to acquire current Carey licensees, as
  well as additional chauffeured vehicle service companies both in markets in
  which the Company already owns and
 
                                      21

 
  operates such a company and in other strategic regions in North America,
  Europe and the Pacific rim of Asia. Carey believes it has a competitive
  advantage in acquiring licensees because of a right of first refusal
  contained in a substantial majority of its domestic license agreements. The
  Company has successfully begun to implement its acquisition strategy,
  having acquired 15 chauffeured vehicle service companies since October
  1991. Upon the closing of this offering, the Company will acquire Manhattan
  Limousine, one of the largest chauffeured vehicle service companies in the
  New York metropolitan area and the operator of the Manhattan International
  Limousine Network.
 
    Increase International Market Share. Currently, approximately 12.8% of
  the Company's revenues are derived from services performed outside the
  United States. Carey believes that its network can capture a significant
  portion of the growing international market for chauffeured vehicle
  services by acquiring or licensing additional chauffeured vehicle service
  companies and otherwise implementing the Carey system outside the United
  States. The Company intends to increase its international presence by
  intensifying its sales and marketing efforts, strengthening its
  relationships with significant domestic and international business travel
  arrangers, and capitalizing on the capacity of the CIRS to operate on a
  global scale. By enhancing its international presence, the Company also
  expects to increase its revenues from providing chauffeured vehicle
  services to international travelers both visiting the United States and
  travelling abroad.
 
    Expand Licensee Network Worldwide. The Company will seek to expand its
  worldwide network and generate additional revenues from license and
  marketing fees by licensing additional chauffeured vehicle service
  companies in smaller markets that do not justify a Company-owned presence.
  Ultimately, as these less strategic markets grow in size and importance to
  the Company, the licensees in such markets may become acquisition
  candidates for the Company.
 
    Convert Salaried Chauffeurs to Independent Operators. The Company
  believes that it can improve its profitability by continuing to convert
  salaried chauffeurs to independent operators. The objective of Carey's
  independent operator strategy is to instill in each chauffeur the sense of
  purpose, responsibility and dedication characteristic of an independent
  business owner, thereby increasing the profitability of the chauffeur and
  the Company. Carey's independent operator program allows the Company to
  reduce its labor and capital costs, convert fixed costs to variable costs
  and generate revenues from fees paid by independent operators.
 
ACQUISITION STRATEGY
 
  Carey believes that there are significant opportunities to acquire
additional chauffeured vehicle service companies as a result of: (i) the
highly fragmented and increasingly global nature of the industry, (ii)
industry participants' capital requirements and desire for liquidity, and
(iii) the pressures of increasing competition. The Company intends to continue
to pursue its acquisition program in order to strengthen its position in its
existing markets and to acquire operations in new markets.
 
  The Company believes that it has a market share of less than 10% in each of
the markets in which it owns and operates a chauffeured vehicle service
company, and that there is significant potential for it to expand its business
in such markets through acquisitions. When justified by the size of an
existing market acquisition, the Company expects to retain key management and
sales personnel of the acquired company and to seek to improve that company's
profitability through implementation of the Company's operating strategies. In
most instances, acquired operations can be integrated into the Company's
existing operations in a market, resulting in elimination of duplicative
overhead and operating costs.
 
  Carey intends to pursue acquisitions that will allow the Company to own and
operate chauffeured vehicle service companies in new geographic markets. The
Company currently owns and operates chauffeured vehicle service companies in
six of the largest United States travel markets and in London, the largest
European travel market, and will seek to acquire Carey licensees in other
significant travel markets in North America, Europe, and the Pacific rim of
Asia. The Company believes that its ability to acquire its licensees will be
enhanced by a right of first refusal that is contained in a substantial
majority of its domestic license agreements and the
 
                                      22

 
limited terms of most of its international license agreements. The Company's
preference is to retain key management, operating and sales personnel of an
acquired company in a new market in order to maintain continuity of operations
and customer service.
 
  The Company believes that there are significant advantages to consolidating
the chauffeured vehicle service industry. Carey believes it can increase
revenues of acquired companies by marketing the worldwide services of its
network to customers of such companies, and by increasing the productivity of
chauffeurs at the acquired companies through the implementation of training
and quality assurance programs. Moreover, Carey believes that cost savings can
be achieved following acquisitions through (i) the consolidation of certain
administrative functions and increased use of automation, (ii) the elimination
of redundant facilities, equipment and personnel and (iii) the conversion of
salaried chauffeurs driving company-owned vehicles into independent operators
driving their own vehicles.
 
  Carey has successfully begun its acquisition strategy, having acquired 15
chauffeured vehicle service companies since October 1991. The following table
lists the date of acquisition, location of each such chauffeured vehicle
service company and whether the acquired company was a licensee or affiliate
of the Company or other chauffeured vehicle service company:

- --------
(1) Prior to the acquisition, the Company had no licensee in London.
(2) The acquisition will be completed upon the closing of this offering. See
    "Acquisition of Manhattan Limousine."
 
  The Company has analyzed significant data on the chauffeured vehicle service
industry and individual businesses within that industry and believes that it
is well positioned to further implement its acquisition program following this
offering. The Company believes that management's lengthy tenure with the
Company, extensive experience in the chauffeured vehicle service industry and
relationships with acquisition candidates provide the Company with significant
knowledge that will assist the Company in its attempts to acquire licensees of
the Company and other chauffeured vehicle service companies. The Company
regularly reviews various strategic acquisition opportunities and periodically
engages in discussions regarding such possible acquisitions. Currently, other
than with respect to the acquisition of Manhattan Limousine, the Company is
not a party to any agreements regarding any material acquisitions; however, as
the result of the Company's process of regularly reviewing
 
                                      23

 
acquisition prospects, negotiations and such acquisition agreements may occur
from time to time if appropriate opportunities arise.
 
  The acquisition of Manhattan Limousine is intended to solidify the Company's
presence in the New York metropolitan area and diversify its customer base. In
particular, the Company intends to capitalize on Manhattan Limousine's
strategic partnering arrangements with many New York-based participants in the
hotel and airline industries, including hotels such as the Four Seasons and
Plaza Hotel and airlines such as Virgin Atlantic and Aer Lingus. In 1996,
approximately 18.0% of Manhattan Limousine's revenues were derived from
services performed for Virgin Atlantic. While the Company intends to
consolidate certain administrative operations of Manhattan Limousine with its
own and to eliminate redundant facilities, equipment and personnel, Manhattan
Limousine otherwise will retain its separate identity for at least 12 months
following the consummation of the acquisition.
 
  Manhattan Limousine provides services solely through independent operators
rather than salaried chauffeurs. As a result, Carey will not be able to
realize the benefits of converting salaried chauffeurs into independent
operators following the acquisition. See "--Independent Operators." Manhattan
Limousine's network is composed of approximately 300 affiliates from which
Manhattan Limousine receives fees for referred business. A significant
majority of Manhattan Limousine's affiliates are located in cities in which
the Company already has affiliates, and in some cities the companies share
common affiliates.
 
  As consideration for future acquisitions, the Company intends to use various
combinations of shares of Common Stock, cash and notes. Some or all of any
shares of Common Stock issued in connection with acquisitions may be
registered under the Securities Act.
 
SERVICE PROVIDER NETWORK
 
  Carey's international network of owned and operated chauffeured vehicle
service companies, licensees and affiliates, serving 420 cities in 65
countries, enables it to provide its customers chauffeured vehicles in
virtually every significant travel market throughout the world. Carey believes
that its network is the most extensive in the industry, and intends to expand
the network by adding qualified licensees and affiliates in locations
justifying new or expanded service. The Company believes that the trend toward
globalization is opening more cities for business and personal travel around
the world. The Company monitors and evaluates cities in which a demand for
chauffeured vehicle services may warrant a "Carey" presence.
 
  The Company's network provides chauffeured vehicle services for airport
pickups and drop-offs, inter-office transfers, business and association
meetings, conventions, road shows, promotional tours, special events,
incentive travel and leisure travel. Of these activities, the Company derived
approximately 9.3% of its 1996 pro forma revenues from hotel contracts,
approximately 8.3% from financial services customers and approximately 5.1%
from contracts with airlines. The Company also offers its clients travel and
tour planning services, "meet-and-greet" services, destination management
services, group movement coordination services, direct and central billing in
U.S. dollars, and access to the Company's 24-hour worldwide computerized
reservation system, the CIRS.
 
  The Company's fleet in its owned and operated locations contains four types
of vehicles consisting of chauffeured sedans, limousines, vans and minibuses,
some of which can carry up to 30 persons. In addition, the Company
subcontracts from time to time for buses that can carry a greater number of
passengers. The fleets of the Company's licensees and affiliates in larger
markets are similar to the Company's fleet, and in smaller markets generally
consist of only chauffeured sedans and limousines. All vehicles are driven by
uniformed professional chauffeurs, most of whom own the vehicles that they
drive. Each such chauffeur drives a clean, late model vehicle with amenities
important to the business traveler, such as cellular telephones and daily
newspapers.
 
  Owned and Operated Companies. The Company owns and operates chauffeured
vehicle service companies in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, London,
Washington, D.C., South Florida and
 
                                      24

 
Philadelphia. Revenue from these companies represented approximately 74.7% of
the Company's revenue, net in fiscal 1995 and 73.6% in fiscal 1996.
 
  Licensees. The Company has 38 licensees serving 106 cities in the United
States and 24 licensees serving 105 cities outside the United States, all of
which operate under the Carey name. The domestic license fee ranges from
$15,000 to $75,000, depending upon the size of the market. The sum of the
continuing fees paid by the domestic licensee varies, but annually is
generally less than 10% of its revenues or, in some cases, less than 10% of an
excess above a specified base. Substantially all candidates appointed as
domestic licensees have been in business for at least 10 years prior to the
grant of a license. The term of the domestic license agreement prior to
January 1, 1996 is perpetual and subsequent to January 1, 1996 is 10 years.
 
  International licensees historically have not paid annual license fees;
rather, they have paid a commission on business referred to them. The term of
the agreement of the international licensee usually is from year to year,
although in a few cases they are perpetual.
 
  Under the domestic license agreement, the Company provides the licensee with
(i) the right to use the "Carey" name, (ii) participation in the CIRS, (iii)
various consulting services, (iv) identification in various travel
directories, (v) access to bulk purchasing arrangements for automobiles, parts
and maintenance materials and (vi) national sales and marketing services. In
the event of a proposed transfer of a license or a licensee, the Company has
the right to approve the transferee. In addition, for most license agreements
executed prior to January 1, 1996 and all license agreements executed on or
after January 1, 1996, Carey retains a right of first refusal by which it may
acquire any license or licensee upon the same terms as the license or licensee
is proposed to be sold.
 
  Typically, a licensee candidate acts as an affiliate before being selected
as a licensee. Licensees operate according to strict service guidelines
specified by the Company and market the Carey name in conjunction with the
Company's overall marketing program. The Company conducts ongoing quality
assurance programs and annual audits of licensees to insure that the licensees
have met the high service standards set forth by the Company. The Company has
the right to terminate any license if the licensee fails to comply with such
standards.
 
  Affiliates. The Company utilizes affiliates to provide services to its
clients in cities where the Company does not have Company-owned operations or
licensees. Affiliates are not licensed to use the Carey name and do not pay
license fees to the Company, but must meet the Company's quality standards in
order to receive referred business. Pursuant to oral agreements between the
Company and its affiliates, the Company is entitled to receive a commission of
15% of net vehicle revenues for all referred business. The Company's
affiliates are located in 121 cities in the United States and 67 cities
outside the United States.
 
CAREY INTERNATIONAL RESERVATION SYSTEM (CIRS)
 
  The hub of the Company's network of service providers is the CIRS, the Carey
International Reservation System. The CIRS is operated on a 24-hour basis by
Carey's central reservation department, which processes reservations through
the Company's proprietary computer system. The central reservation department
receives reservations through the Company's toll free "800" telephone number
(800-336-4646), by fax or telex, or through one of the six major airline
reservation systems, SABRE, APOLLO, WORLDSPAN, GALILEO, BABS and SITA. These
airline systems allow travel agencies, corporate travel departments and
government offices to access the CIRS through over 300,000 reservation
terminals worldwide. The Company bills a licensee or affiliate for each
reservation referred to the licensee or affiliate through the CIRS.
 
  The CIRS can be accessed for up-to-date tariffs both in dollars and in
foreign currency for 420 cities throughout the world. Through the CIRS, the
Company's reservation and customer service personnel have instant access to
all rates, services offered, types of vehicles available and special airport
greeting capabilities in each individual city. Individual customer profiles
are maintained, including vehicle and chauffeur preferences, frequent pick-up
points, addresses and directions, billing requirements and account status.
 
                                      25

 
  The CIRS is used to make arrangements for a broad range of business and
consumer applications such as transportation to and from airports, association
and industry meetings and functions, road shows, transportation related to
incentive travel, board of directors meetings and sight seeing tours. Special
customer service facilities are available with direct phone lines, including a
special service desk, executive VIP desk, international tour desk, special
event desk and road show desk.
 
  The CIRS utilizes client/server architecture and proprietary software
developed over a five-year period which allows constant input into a complex
international network linking more than 65 countries. A primary strength of
the CIRS is the reliability of its reporting and control systems which verify
all reservations for complete information, customer service requirements and
accounting authorizations. The CIRS also contains customer invoicing programs
to allow central billing directly through the system for all services used
worldwide. In addition, the system's ability to track reservations allows more
accurate and detailed analyses for marketing purposes.
 
  In 1992, the Company began leasing its reservation and operating systems to
its licensees. These systems create a basis for certain licensees to have
direct access to the CIRS and provide them with the ability to book local
reservations, dispatch vehicles and account for chauffeured vehicle services.
 
MARKETING, SALES AND CUSTOMER SERVICE
 
  The Company believes that "Carey," a registered service mark, is a highly
recognized name in the chauffeured vehicle service and travel industries
worldwide. The Company intends to continue to expand recognition of the
"Carey" name through its marketing and promotional efforts. Carey has
developed an extensive marketing program directed at both the travel arranger
and the end user of chauffeured vehicle services. The program consists of
directory listings, advertising, direct mail, public relations, cooperative
promotional and joint marketing programs, attendance at and sponsorship of
travel-related conventions and workshops, and direct selling. The direct sales
force serving the Company and its licensees currently consists of 20
professionals.
 
  Carey is listed in 95 travel directories which are used by travel arrangers
to obtain information on travel related services. Advertising targeted at
travel arrangers is placed in over 35 trade journals including Business Travel
Executive, Travel Weekly, Travel Trade and Business Travel News. In addition,
the Company advertises extensively in magazines and newspapers, consumer
association books, hotel room information books and the Yellow Pages, and on
radio and television in selected markets.
 
  The Company's continuing direct mail program is targeted at both the travel
arranger and the end user. The program distributes approximately two million
promotional pieces annually. Most major travel arrangers receive at least six
direct mail pieces per year which include announcements of new services, news
on service providers and reservation programs, the Carey Newsletter and
listings of rates. End users and arrangers receive promotional pieces on Carey
when they are billed for the Company's services.
 
  The Company's marketing program seeks to build upon brand name acceptance,
customer loyalty, service know-how, technology and strategic market
relationships with other market leaders in the travel and tourism industry,
such as airlines, travel agencies, credit card companies and central
reservation systems. The Company's sales force calls on thousands of accounts
annually and participates in trade shows, seminars and association meetings.
The Company also is involved in promotional and cooperative agreements with
American Express Platinum Card and Gold Card, Diner's Club "Club Chauffeur"
program, British Airways, Air France and various cruise lines.
 
  The Company believes that the retention and expansion of existing business
is as important as new sales. Carey has established a base of loyal customers
in part by monitoring the standard of service through its quality assurance
and customer service programs. To assure that the Company continues to provide
consistently high
 
                                      26

 
quality and reliable service, Carey operates a five-part quality assurance
program. The Company's quality assurance program utilizes survey cards that
are sent to customers and travel arrangers. Approximately 90% of the quality
assurance cards returned to Carey during the twelve-month period ended
November 30, 1996 rated the Company's reservation services, chauffeurs and
vehicles as "excellent." Carey's quality assurance program includes
evaluations performed by an independent consultant to measure the quality of
chauffeur services, the appearance of chauffeurs and vehicles, and the
availability of other amenities, such as cellular phones and daily newspapers.
 
INDEPENDENT OPERATORS
 
  An important component of Carey's strategy involves the preferred use of
independent operators instead of salaried chauffeurs operating Company-owned
vehicles. An independent operator takes responsibility for owning, operating
and maintaining his or her own vehicle. The Company believes that acting as an
independent operator creates incentives for the chauffeur to become more
productive, efficient and service-oriented, thereby increasing the
profitability of the chauffeur and the Company. The objective of the Company's
independent operator strategy is to instill in each chauffeur the sense of
purpose, responsibility and dedication characteristic of an independent
business owner.
 
  The use of independent operators allows the Company to reduce its labor and
capital costs, convert fixed costs to variable costs and generate revenues
from fees paid by independent operators. Because of the greater responsibility
borne by independent operators, the Company is able to allocate fewer
resources to oversee its vehicle operations. As a result, the Company can
focus to a greater extent on support services, business development,
administration, billing, quality assurance, and sales and marketing.
 
  Each independent operator enters into an agreement with the Company to
provide prompt and courteous service to the Company's customers with a
properly maintained, late model vehicle consistent with the Company's
standards. Each new independent operator agrees to pay an initial fee to the
Company, acquires his or her vehicle and pays all of the maintenance and
operating expenses of such vehicle, including gasoline.
 
  Prior to December 1996, the Company's typical agreement with an independent
operator had a term of 10 years and provided for a fee ranging from $30,000 to
$45,000 (depending on the local market) that was financed by the Company at an
annual interest rate of 8% to 12%. The notes evidencing such financing
generally were sold by the Company to third parties. Since December 1996, the
independent operator agreements entered into by the Company generally have
provided for, and the Company intends that future agreements will provide for,
a term of 15 years, fees of $45,000 to $60,000 and an interest rate of 14% per
year. In certain markets, such as New York, the Company may provide longer
terms and higher fees in its independent operator agreements. Currently, the
Company does not intend to continue its former practice of selling to third
parties notes evidencing independent operator financing.
 
  The independent operator agreement provides that the Company will bill and
collect all revenues (as defined in the agreement) and remit to the
independent operator 60% to 65% of such revenues. In this arrangement, the
Company assumes the risk of collecting from each customer and generally pays
the independent operator his or her share regardless of whether the Company is
paid by the customer. An independent operator's failure to meet the high
standards of service associated with the Carey name constitutes a breach of
the agreement and gives rise to a right of the Company to terminate the
agreement.
 
  Independent operators also generally require financing to purchase their
vehicles. Typically, independent operators have utilized banks, vehicle
financing companies or CLI Fleet, Inc. ("CLI Fleet"), a finance company that
specializes in providing financing to the chauffeured vehicle service
industry. See "Certain Transactions." On occasion, the Company has provided
secured vehicle financing to independent operators with repayment terms of
three to five years.
 
CUSTOMERS
 
  The Company's customer list exceeds 75,000 individuals and organizations
that are dispersed across many different industries and geographic locations.
No client accounted for more than 5% of the Company's revenue,
 
                                      27

 
net in 1996. The Company's major clients include companies in the finance,
travel and related services, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, airline,
insurance, publishing, oil and gas exploration, entertainment, tobacco, and
food and beverage industries.
 
COMPETITION
 
  The chauffeured vehicle service industry is highly competitive and
fragmented, with few significant national participants operating a multi-city
reservation system. Each local market usually contains numerous local
participants as well as a few companies offering regional and national
service. Chauffeured vehicle service providers compete primarily on the basis
of price, quality, scope of service and dependability. The Company also
competes with service providers offering alternative modes of transportation,
such as buses, jitney services, taxis, radio cars and rental cars. The Company
believes that its high quality of service and dependability have allowed the
Company to compete effectively in its markets. Carey competes both for
customers and for possible acquisitions. The Company expects its business to
become more competitive as existing competitors expand and additional
companies enter the industry. Certain of the Company's existing competitors
have, and any new competitors that enter the industry may have, access to
significantly greater financial resources than the Company.
 
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
 
  The Company's chauffeured vehicle service operations are subject to various
state and local regulations and, in many instances, require permits and
licenses from state and local authorities. In addition, the Company is
regulated by the Federal Highway Administration with respect to, among other
things, minimum vehicular insurance requirements. The Company believes that it
has all required permits and licenses to conduct its operations and that it is
in substantial compliance with applicable regulatory requirements relating to
its operations.
 
  The Company is subject to federal and state laws, rules and regulations
governing the offer and sale of franchises. A number of states have enacted
laws that require detailed disclosure in the offer and sale of franchises
and/or the registration of the franchisor with state administrative agencies.
The Company is also subject to Federal Trade Commission regulations relating
to disclosure requirements in the sale of franchises. Certain states have
enacted, and others may enact, legislation governing certain aspects of the
franchise relationship and limiting the ability of the franchisor to terminate
or refuse to renew a franchise. The law applicable to franchise sales and
relationships is rapidly developing, and the Company is unable to predict the
effect on its franchise system of additional requirements or restrictions that
may be enacted or promulgated or of court decisions that may be adverse to
franchisors. Due to the scope of the Company's business, and the complexity of
franchise regulation, compliance problems may be encountered from time to
time.
 
INSURANCE
 
  The Company is subject to accident claims as a result of the normal
operation of its fleet of vehicles, which claims and the defense thereof
generally are covered by insurance. The Company purchases automobile
liability, automobile collision and comprehensive damage, general liability,
comprehensive property damage, workers' compensation and other insurance
coverages that management considers adequate for the protection of the
Company's assets and operations, although there can be no assurance that the
coverages and limits of such policies will be adequate. The Company's standard
license agreement requires that its licensees purchase similar types of
insurance and name the Company as a named insured in such insurance policies.
A successful claim against the Company beyond the scope of its or its
licensees' insurance coverage or in excess of its or its licensees' limits
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.
 
FACILITIES
 
  The Company owns a facility in Alexandria, Virginia used by its owned and
operated chauffeured vehicle service company providing services in Washington,
D.C. The Company leases its corporate headquarters in
 
                                      28

 
Washington, D.C. and also leases nine administrative and/or operating
facilities in California, New York, Pennsylvania, Florida and London.
Management believes that the Company's facilities are adequate for its present
needs and that suitable additional or replacement space will be available as
required.
 
EMPLOYEES AND INDEPENDENT OPERATORS
 
  As of November 30, 1996, the Company had approximately 307 full-time
employees (approximately 97 of whom were chauffeurs) and approximately 81
part-time employees (approximately 52 of whom were chauffeurs). As of November
30, 1996, the Company also had agreements with approximately 317 independent
operators. The Company is not a party to any collective bargaining agreement.
 
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
 
  The Company is the registered owner of two United States service marks
covering the "Carey" name. The Company believes that customer and travel
arranger recognition of these marks has contributed to its success. The
Company is not affiliated with Carey Transportation, Inc., a company that
provides bus transportation services in the metropolitan New York City area.
Except in this area, the Company believes it has the exclusive right to use
the "Carey" name in connection with transportation services in all locations
in which it either owns and operates a chauffeured vehicle service company or
maintains a licensee.
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
  The Company and certain of its officers and directors were named in a civil
action filed on May 15, 1996 in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania (Case No. 96-CV-3702) entitled "Felix v.
Carey International, Inc., et al." The plaintiff's complaint, which purports
to be a class action, alleges that the plaintiff and others similarly situated
suffered monetary damages as a result of misrepresentations by the various
defendants in their use of a surface transportation billing charge. The
surface transportation charge is billed by Carey to its customers and
represents a surcharge on account of various fees and service costs incurred
by it in its provision of services to such customers. The plaintiff seeks
damages in excess of $1.0 million on behalf of the class for each of the
counts in the complaint including fraud, negligent misrepresentation and
violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations law of 1970,
which permits the recovery of treble damages and attorneys' fees. A class has
not yet been certified in this case. The Company filed a motion to dismiss
that was denied, and subsequently has filed an answer denying any liability in
connection with this complaint. The Company currently is engaging in
settlement discussions with the plaintiff's counsel. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to obtain a settlement on acceptable terms or at
all. The Company is indemnifying and defending its officers and directors who
were named defendants in the case, subject to conditions imposed by applicable
law.
 
  Although the Company does not believe the litigation described above will
have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and
results of operations, the defense of the litigation could be expensive and
time-consuming, regardless of the outcome, and an adverse result in such
litigation could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
  The Company is a party to other litigation in the ordinary course of
business. The Company does not anticipate an unfavorable result in any such
litigation or believe that an unfavorable result, if it occurred, would have a
material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of
operations.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
 
  Members of the Board of Directors who also serve as officers of the Company
do not receive compensation for serving on the Board. Each other member of the
Board receives an annual retainer of $15,000 for serving on the Board, plus a
fee of $1,000 for each Board of Directors' meeting attended. In addition, such
directors receive an additional fee of $500 for each committee meeting
attended, except that only one fee is paid in the event that more than one
such meeting is held on a single day. All directors receive reimbursement of
reasonable expenses incurred in attending Board and committee meetings and
otherwise carrying out their duties.
 
  The Company's Board of Directors has adopted the Stock Plan for Non-Employee
Directors (the "Directors' Plan"). A maximum of 100,000 shares of Common Stock
may be delivered upon the exercise of options granted under the Directors'
Plan and elections to receive shares in lieu of cash compensation. Only
directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries (the "Non-Employee Directors") are eligible to participate in the
Directors' Plan. While grants of stock options under the Directors' Plan are
automatic and non-discretionary, all questions of interpretation of the
Directors' Plan are determined by the Board of Directors.
 
  The Directors' Plan provides that on the date of this Prospectus, an option
to purchase 7,500 shares of Common Stock will be granted to each Non-Employee
Director. On the date of each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders, each
Non-Employee Director continuing in office will be granted an option covering
2,500 shares and any newly elected Non-Employee Director will be granted an
option covering 5,000 shares. The option exercise price for each option
granted under the Directors' Plan will be the closing price of a share of the
Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on the date the option
is granted, except that options
 
                                      32

 
awarded on the date of this Prospectus will have an exercise price equal to
the initial public offering price in this offering. All options granted under
the Directors' Plan become fully exercisable six months after the date of
grant. Unless sooner terminated following the death, disability or termination
of service of a director, options granted under the Directors' Plan will
remain exercisable until the fifth anniversary of the date of grant. In
addition, upon certain transactions involving a change of control or the
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all options held by Non-Employee
Directors will terminate; provided, however, that for a period of 20 days
prior to the effective date of any such transaction, dissolution or
liquidation, all options outstanding under the Directors' Plan that are not
otherwise exercisable shall immediately vest and become exercisable.
 
  Under the Directors' Plan, a Non-Employee Director may elect to be paid all
or a portion of his or her annual retainer in shares of Common Stock. Any such
election must be made in writing at least 30 days prior to the date the annual
retainer would be paid by the Company. The number of shares to be delivered to
a Non-Employee Director upon such election is determined by dividing the
amount of the annual retainer to be received in shares of Common Stock by the
closing price of a share of Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq National
Market on the date the annual retainer is to be paid.
 
  The Board of Directors may at any time or times amend the Directors' Plan
for any purpose which at the time may be permitted by law.

EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS
 
  The Company currently maintains the 1987 Stock Option Plan (the "1987 Plan")
and the 1992 Stock Option Plan (the "1992 Plan"), both of which provide for
the award of incentive and non-statutory stock options by the Company. Prior
to the closing of this offering, the Company will adopt the 1997 Equity
Incentive Plan (the "1997 Plan"), which provides for the award of up to
650,000 shares of Common Stock in the form of incentive stock options, non-
statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock,
performance stock units and other stock units which are valued by reference to
the value of the Common Stock. The 1987 Plan, 1992 Plan and 1997 Plan are
hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Equity Plans."
 
  Options are outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 445,383 shares of Common
Stock under the 1987 Plan and the 1992 Plan. Prior to the closing of this
offering, the Company intends to issue to employees options to purchase an
aggregate of 411,500 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the 1997 Plan having
an exercise price equal to the initial public offering price. Of these
options, Messrs. Wolfington and Dailey each will receive an option to purchase
100,000 shares of Common Stock, and Mr. Thomas will receive an option to
purchase 15,000 shares of Common Stock. The options issued to Messrs.
Wolfington and Dailey will vest in full 90 days from the date of this
Prospectus. The balance of the options issued under the 1997 Plan will vest
with respect to one-quarter of the underlying shares on each of the first four
anniversaries of the date of grant.
 
  Officers, key employees, non-employee directors of and consultants to the
Company have participated in the 1987 Plan and the 1992 Plan. The 1987 Plan
and the 1992 Plan both are administered by the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors. Among other things, the Compensation Committee determines,
subject to the provisions of said plans, who shall receive awards, the types
of awards to be made, and the terms and conditions of each award. No incentive
stock option may be granted under the 1987 Plan and the 1992 Plan at an
exercise price less than the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock
at the time the option is granted (and, in the case of stock options granted
to holders of more than 10% of the Common Stock, no option may be granted at
an exercise price less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares of
Common Stock at the time the option is granted).
 
  All employees of the Company (including employees who also are directors)
and any of its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the 1997 Plan. The
1997 Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee, which will
determine who shall receive awards from those employees and directors eligible
to participate in the 1997 Plan, the type of award to be made, the number of
shares of Common Stock which may be acquired pursuant to the award and the
specific terms and conditions of each award, including the purchase price,
term, vesting schedule, restrictions on transfer and any other conditions and
limitations applicable to the awards or their exercise. Options that are
intended to qualify as incentive stock options may be exercisable for not more
than one day less than 10 years after the date the option is awarded and may
not be granted at an exercise price less than the fair market value of the
shares of Common Stock at the time the option is granted. The Compensation
Committee may at any time accelerate the exercisability of all or any portion
of any option issued under the 1997 Plan.
 
  The Compensation Committee may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding
award under the Company's Equity Plans with the participant's consent, except
consent shall not be required if the Compensation Committee determines that
such action will not materially and adversely affect the participant. The
Board may amend, suspend or terminate any of the Equity Plans, or any part of
such plans, at any time, except that no amendment may be made without
stockholder approval if such approval is necessary to comply with any
applicable tax or regulatory requirement.

                             CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
 
  During 1993, for an aggregate purchase price of $850,000, the Company
acquired 85 shares of non-voting redeemable preferred stock of CLI Fleet, Inc.
("CLI Fleet") a privately-held finance company formed for the purpose of
financing the chauffeured vehicle service industry. As a holder of CLI Fleet
preferred stock, the Company is currently entitled to receive an annual
dividend of $500 per share. The Company waived the right to receive any
dividends accrued in respect of its preferred stock through April 30, 1996,
but during 1995 received referral fees totalling $100,000 from CLI Fleet. Also
during 1995, CLI Fleet redeemed 10 shares of preferred stock held by the
Company for an aggregate redemption price of $100,000. The remaining shares of
preferred stock are subject to mandatory redemption by redemption payments of
$100,000, $100,000 and $550,000 in May 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively.
Under the terms of an agreement with CLI Fleet, commencing in April 1998, the
Company has an option to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common
stock of CLI Fleet.
 
  To date, CLI Fleet has provided financing to the Company's independent
operators, without recourse to the Company, for both initial fees due under
the Company's independent operator agreements and with respect to vehicles
purchased by independent operators. Each of the Company's owned and operated
chauffeured vehicle service companies has entered into a Finance & Service
Agreement with CLI Fleet, which provides that the Company will recommend and
refer independent operators to CLI Fleet for financing of vehicles. To date,
CLI Fleet also has purchased from the Company notes receivable due from
independent operators in exchange for cash or demand notes on a non-recourse
basis. The Company sold $378,733, $1,762,345 and $1,015,897 of independent
operator notes receivable to CLI Fleet for cash of $378,733, $1,290,899 and
$733,793 and demand promissory notes of $0, $471,446 and $282,104 in 1994,
1995 and 1996, respectively. These promissory notes are due on demand,
although monthly principal payments generally are received. These notes bear
interest at rates ranging from 5% to 7%. The Company generally no longer sells
notes receivables from independent operators to CLI Fleet, although CLI Fleet
continues to provide vehicle financing to the Company's independent operators.
 
  In connection with the Recapitalization, the exercise price of a warrant
issued to PNC Capital Corp. ("PNC") will be reduced from approximately $6.14
to approximately $4.65 per share. In addition, upon the closing of this
offering, Carey will repay approximately $912,000 of the $3.8 million in
principal outstanding on its subordinated note held by PNC and apply the
balance of the outstanding principal to pay the purchase price for 616,544
shares of Common Stock to be issued to PNC upon exercise of the warrant held
by it. David McL. Hillman, a director of the Company, is Executive Vice
President of PNC Equity Management Corp., an affiliate of PNC.
 
  In connection with the Recapitalization, the exercise price of a warrant to
purchase 86,003 shares of Common Stock owned by Yerac Associates, L.P.
("Yerac") will be reduced from approximately $6.14 to approximately $4.65 per
share. In addition, Yerac will convert the entire outstanding balance of a
$2.0 million subordinated note held by it into approximately 430,000 shares of
Common Stock. Messrs. Wolfington and Dailey are limited partners of Yerac.
 
  In connection with the Recapitalization, the Company will redeem 22,000
shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by entities affiliated with Hambrecht
& Quist Group (collectively "H&Q") at a price of $1,100,000 in cash plus
approximately 104,600 shares of Common Stock. Also in connection with the
Recapitalization, (i) the conversion price of the Series G Preferred Stock
will be reduced from $7.41 to approximately $6.14, and (ii) H&Q will receive
approximately 2,093,200 shares of Common Stock as a result of the conversion
of 5,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and 21,800 shares of Series G
Preferred Stock. William R. Hambrecht, a director of the Company, is a
director and chairman of Hambrecht & Quist Group, Hambrecht and Quist
California, and Hamco Capital Corporation, and a general apartner of Hambrecht
& Quist Venture Partners which, in turn, is the general partner of H&Q London
Ventures, H&Q Ventures International C.V., and H&Q Ventures IV. Mr. Hambrecht
is also a trustee of The Hambrecht 1980 Revocable Trust.
 
  Vincent A. Wolfington, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
and Don R. Dailey, the Company's President, each has personally guaranteed
certain indebtedness of the Company in the original principal amount of $4.5
million. The outstanding balance of this indebtedness totalled approximately
$3.9 million as of November 30, 1996. The Company paid Messrs. Wolfington and
Dailey $45,000 each during 1996 as a fee for guaranteeing such indebtedness.
The Company will use part of the net proceeds of this offering to repay the
entire outstanding amount of such indebtedness, and following the repayment
the guarantees will be terminated.

Company will be issued and outstanding. Thereafter, Preferred Stock may be
issued in one or more series without further stockholder authorization, and
the Board of Directors is authorized to fix and determine the terms,
limitations and relative rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock, to
establish series of Preferred Stock and to fix and determine the variations as
among series. Preferred Stock, if issued, would have priority over the Common
Stock with respect to dividends and to other distributions, including the
distribution of assets upon liquidation, and may be subject to repurchase or
redemption by the Company. The Board of Directors, without approval of the
holders of the Common Stock, can issue Preferred Stock with voting and
conversion rights (including multiple voting rights) which could adversely
affect the rights of holders of Common Stock. In addition to having a
preference with respect to dividends or liquidation proceeds, Preferred Stock,
if issued, may be entitled to the allocation of capital
 
                                      38

 
gains from the sale of the Company's assets. Although the Company has no
present plans to issue any shares of Preferred Stock following the closing of
this offering, the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock, or the issuance of
rights to purchase such shares, may have the effect of delaying, deferring or
preventing a change in control of the Company or an unsolicited acquisition
proposal.
 
CLASSIFIED BOARD OF DIRECTORS
 
  The Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company provide
for the Board of Directors to be divided into three classes of directors, as
nearly equal in number as is reasonably possible, serving staggered terms so
that directors' initial terms will expire either at the 1997, 1998 or 1999
annual meeting of stockholders. Starting with the 1997 annual meeting of
stockholders, one class of directors will be elected each year for a three-
year term. See "Management."
 
  The Company believes that a classified Board of Directors will help to
assure the continuity and stability of the Board of Directors and the
Company's business strategies and policies as determined by the Board of
Directors, since a majority of the directors at any given time will have had
prior experience as directors of the Company. The Company believes that such
continuity and stability, in turn, will permit the Board of Directors to
represent more effectively the interests of its stockholders.
 
  With a classified Board of Directors, at least two annual meetings of
stockholders, instead of one, generally will be required to effect a change in
the majority of the Board of Directors. As a result, a provision relating to a
classified Board of Directors may discourage proxy contests for the election
of directors or purchases of a substantial block of the Common Stock because
the provision could operate to prevent a rapid change in control of the Board
of Directors. The classification provision also could have the effect of
discouraging a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting
to obtain control of the Company. Under the DGCL, unless a corporation's
certificate of incorporation otherwise provides, a director on a classified
board may be removed by the stockholders of the corporation only for cause.
 
ADVANCE NOTICE PROVISIONS FOR STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND STOCKHOLDER
NOMINATIONS OF DIRECTORS
 
  The By-laws establish an advance notice procedure with regard to the
nomination by the stockholders of the Company of candidates for election as
directors (the "Nomination Procedure") and with regard to other matters to be
brought by stockholders before a meeting of stockholders of the Company (the
"Business Procedure").
 
  The Nomination Procedure requires that a stockholder give written notice to
the Secretary of the Company, delivered to or mailed and received at the
principal executive offices of the Company not less than 60 days nor more than
90 days prior to the meeting, in proper form, of a planned nomination for the
Board of Directors. Detailed requirements as to the form and timing of that
notice are specified in the By-laws. If the Chairman determines that a person
was not nominated in accordance with the Nomination Procedure, such person
will not be eligible for election as a director.
 
  Under the Business Procedure, a stockholder seeking to have any business
conducted at any meeting must give written notice to the Secretary of the
Company, delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive
offices of the Company not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to
the meeting, in proper form. Detailed requirements as to the form and timing
of that notice are specified in the By-laws. If the Chairman determines that
the other business was not properly brought before such meeting in accordance
with the Business Procedure, such business will not be conducted at such
meeting.
 
  Although the By-laws do not give the Board of Directors any power to approve
or disapprove of stockholder nominations for the election of directors or of
any other business desired by stockholders to be conducted at an annual or any
other meeting, the By-laws (i) may have the effect of precluding nominations
for the election of directors or precluding the conduct of business at a
particular annual meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or (ii)
may discourage or deter a third party from conducting a solicitation of
proxies to elect its own
 
                                      39

 
slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company,
even if the conduct of such solicitation or such attempt might be beneficial
to the Company and its stockholders.
 
OTHER PROVISIONS
 
  Special Meetings of the Stockholders of the Company. The Company's By-laws
provide that a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company only may be
called by the Chairman of the Board, or by order of the Board of Directors.
That provision prevents stockholders from calling a special meeting of
stockholders and potentially limits the stockholders' ability to offer
proposals to the annual meetings of stockholders, if no special meetings are
otherwise called by the Chairman or the Board.
 
  Amendment of the By-laws. The Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provides that the By-laws only may be amended by a vote of the
Board of Directors or by a vote of at least 75% of the outstanding shares of
the Company's stock entitled to vote in the election of directors.
 
  No Action by Written Consent. The Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation does not permit the Company's stockholders to act by written
consent. As a result, any action to be taken by the Company's stockholders
must be taken at a duly called meeting of the stockholders.
 
DELAWARE ANTI-TAKEOVER STATUTE
 
  The Company is subject to Section 203 of the DGCL which, with certain
exceptions, prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any of a broad
range of business combinations with any "interested stockholder" for a period
of three years following the date that such stockholder became an interested
stockholder, unless: (a) prior to such date, the Board of Directors of the
corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which
resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, (b) upon
consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an
interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the
voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction
commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares
outstanding those shares owned (i) by persons who are directors and officers
and (ii) by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have
the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan
will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer, or (c) on or after such date,
the business combination is approved by the Board of Directors and authorized
at an annual or special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at
least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the
interested stockholder. An "interested stockholder" is defined as any person
that is (y) the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the
corporation or (z) an affiliate or associate of the Company and was the owner
of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the Company at any time
within the three-year period immediately prior to the date on which it is
sought to be determined whether such person is an interested stockholder.
 
TRANSFER AGENT AND EXCHANGE LISTING
 
  The transfer agent and registrar for the Company will be selected prior to
the closing of this offering.

                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
  Upon the completion of this offering and the acquisition of Manhattan
Limousine, the Company will have 6,315,844 shares of Common Stock outstanding,
and 1,143,336 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding
options and warrants. Of these shares, 2,900,000 shares sold pursuant to this
offering (3,335,000 shares if the Underwriters exercise their over-allotment
option in full) will be freely tradeable without restriction under Securities
Act, except for any shares which may be acquired by an "affiliate" of the
Company (as that term is defined in Rule 144). The 4,559,180 remaining shares
constitute "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 and only
will be eligible for sale in the open market subject to the contractual lockup
provisions and applicable requirements of Rule 144 described below.
 
  In general, under Rule 144 as in effect as of May 1997, if a period of at
least one year has elapsed between the later of the date on which restricted
securities were acquired from the Company and the date on which they were
acquired from an affiliate, then the holder of such restricted securities
(including an affiliate) is entitled to sell that number of shares within any
three-month period that does not exceed the greater of (i) one percent of the
then outstanding shares of the Common Stock or (ii) the average weekly
reported volume of trading of the Common Stock during the four calendar weeks
preceding such sales. Sales under Rule 144 also are subject to certain
requirements pertaining to the manner of such sales, notices of such sales and
the availability of current public information concerning the Company. Any
shares not constituting restricted securities sold by affiliates must be sold
in accordance with the foregoing volume limitations and other requirements but
without regard to the one year holding period. Under Rule 144(k) as in effect
as of May 1997, if a period of at least two years has elapsed from the later
of the date on which restricted securities were acquired from the Company and
the date on which they were acquired from the affiliate, a holder of such
restricted securities who is not an affiliate at the time of the sale and has
not been an affiliate for at least three months prior to the sale would be
entitled to sell the shares immediately without regard to the volume
limitations and other conditions described above.
 
  The Company and the holders of at least 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock
(including all of the Company's officers and directors and those individuals
who will be issued Common Stock in the Manhattan Limousine acquisition) have
agreed that they will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any
option for the sale of, or otherwise dispose or cause the disposition of any
shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for such shares, for a period of 180 days after the date of this
Prospectus without the prior written consent of Montgomery Securities, except
for (i) in the case of the Company, Common Stock issued pursuant to any
employee or director benefit plan described herein or in connection with
acquisitions or (ii) in the case of directors and executive officers, the
exercise of stock options pursuant to benefit plans described herein and
shares of Common Stock disposed of as bona fide gifts, subject in each case to
any remaining portion of the 180-day period applying to shares so issued or
transferred. In evaluating any request for a waiver of the 180-day lock-up
period, Montgomery Securities will consider, in accordance with their
customary practice, all relevant facts and circumstances at the time of the
request, including, without limitation, the recent trading market for the
Common Stock, the size of the request and, with respect to a request by the
Company to issue additional equity securities, the purpose of such an
issuance. The holder of 200,000 shares of Common Stock to be issued in
connection with the acquisition of Manhattan Limousine will be entitled to
certain demand and piggy-back registration rights one year after completion of
this offering.
 
  An additional 100,000 shares of Common Stock will be reserved for issuance
under the Directors' Plan and 650,000 shares will be reserved for issuance
under the 1997 Plan. The Company presently intends to file a registration
statement under the Securities Act to register Common Stock to be issued
pursuant to exercise of options granted or to be granted under the Directors'
Plan and the 1997 Plan. Common Stock issued after the effective date of such
registration statement upon exercise of outstanding vested options granted
pursuant to the Directors' Plan and 1997 Plan, other than Common Stock issued
to affiliates of the Company, would be available for immediate resale in the
open market.
 
  After the offering, sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock by existing
stockholders could have an adverse impact on the prevailing market price of
the Common Stock. No predictions can be made as to the effect, if any, that
market sales of shares by existing stockholders or the availability of such
shares for future sale will have on the market price of shares of Common Stock
prevailing from time to time.

                                 UNDERWRITING
 
  The Underwriters named below (the "Underwriters"), represented by Montgomery
Securities and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. (the "Representatives"), have
severally agreed, subject to the terms and conditions in the underwriting
agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") by and between the Company and the
Underwriters, to purchase from the Company the number of shares of Common
Stock indicated below opposite their respective names, at the initial public
offering price less the underwriting discount set forth on the cover page of

  The Representatives have advised the Company that the Underwriters propose
initially to offer the Common Stock to the public on the terms set forth on
the cover page of this Prospectus. The Underwriters may allow selected dealers
a concession of not more than $   per share; and the Underwriters may allow,
and such dealers may reallow, a concession of not more than $   per share to
certain other dealers. After the initial public offering, the public offering
price and other selling terms may be changed by the Representatives. The
Common Stock is offered subject to receipt and acceptance by the Underwriters,
and to certain other conditions, including the right to reject orders in whole
or in part.
 
  The Company has granted an option to the Underwriters, exercisable during
the 30-day period after the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to a
maximum of 435,000 additional shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments,
if any, at the same price per share as the initial shares to be purchased by
the Underwriters. To the extent that the Underwriters exercise such over-
allotment option, the Underwriters will be committed, subject to certain
conditions, to purchase such additional shares in approximately the same
proportion as set forth in the above table. The Underwriters may purchase such
shares only to cover over-allotments made in connection with this offering.
 
  The Underwriting Agreement provides that the Company will indemnify the
Underwriters against certain liabilities, including civil liabilities under
the Securities Act, or will contribute to payments the Underwriters may be
required to make in respect thereof.
 
  The Company's officers and directors and certain of the shareholders of the
Company (including the holders of shares issued in connection with the
acquisition of Manhattan Limousine) who, immediately following this offering,
collectively will beneficially own an aggregate of at least 4,000,000 shares
of Common Stock (including shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding
options and warrants), have agreed that for a period of 180 days after the
date of this Prospectus they will not, without the prior written consent of
Montgomery Securities, directly or indirectly sell, offer, contract or grant
any option to sell, pledge, transfer, establish an open put equivalent
position or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock, options or
warrants to acquire shares of Common Stock or securities exchangeable or
exercisable for or convertible into shares of Common Stocks. The Company has
also agreed not to issue, offer, sell, grant options to purchase or otherwise
dispose of any of the Company's equity securities for a period of 180 days
after the effective date of this offering without
 
                                      42

 
the prior written consent of Montgomery Securities, except for securities
issued by the Company in connection with acquisitions and for grants and
exercises of stock options, subject in each case to any remaining portion of
the 180-day period applying to shares so issued or transferred. In evaluating
any request for a waiver of the 180-day lock-up period, Montgomery Securities
will consider, in accordance with their customary practice, all relevant facts
and circumstances at the time of the request, including, without limitation,
the recent trading market for the Common Stock, the size of the request and,
with respect to a request by the Company to issue additional equity
securities, the purpose of such an issuance. See "Shares Eligible for Future
Sale."
 
  The Representatives have informed the Company that the Underwriters do not
expect to make sales of Common Stock offered by this Prospectus to accounts
over which they exercise discretionary authority in excess of 5% of the number
of shares of Common Stock offered hereby.
 
  In recognition of financial advisory services provided to the Company prior
to this offering, the Company has agreed to issue to each of Montgomery
Securities and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. warrants (the "Warrants") to
purchase 67,500 shares of Common Stock, exercisable for a period of five years
commencing on the date of this offering, at a price equal to 120% of the
initial offering price, subject to adjustment in certain events. Each Warrant
contains certain registration rights relating to the shares issuable
thereunder.
 
  The Company also has agreed to issue warrants to purchase an aggregate of
15,000 shares of Common Stock as a finder's fee in connection with this
offering. These warrants will contain identical terms to the Warrants.
 
  Prior to this offering, there has been no public trading market for the
Common Stock. Consequently, the initial public offering price of the Common
Stock has been determined by negotiations between the Company and the
Representatives. Among the factors considered in such negotiations were the
history of, and the prospects for, the Company and the industry in which the
Company competes, an assessment of the Company's management, its financial
conditions, its past and present earnings and the trend of such earnings, the
prospects for future earnings of the Company, the present state of the
Company's development, the general condition of the economy and the securities
markets at the time of this offering and the market prices of and demand for
publicly traded common stock of comparable companies in recent periods.
 
                                 LEGAL MATTERS
 
  The validity of the shares offered will be passed upon for the Company by
Nutter, McClennen & Fish, LLP, Boston, Massachusetts. Certain legal matters
will be passed upon for the Underwriters by Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., New
York, New York.

                  PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                             BASIS OF PRESENTATION
  The Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of November 30, 1996 and the Pro
Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended November 30,
1996 are based on the historical financial statements of Carey International,
Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") and Manhattan International Limousine
Network Ltd. and Affiliate ("Manhattan Limousine") and the unaudited financial
statements of Camelot Barthropp Limited for the quarter ended February 29,
1996. The Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet has been prepared assuming the
acquisition of Manhattan Limousine occurred on November 30, 1996. For purposes
of the Pro Forma Balance Sheet, the Combined Balance Sheet of Manhattan
Limousine as of December 31, 1996, its most recent quarter-end, has been
combined with the Consolidated Balance Sheet of the Company as of November 30,
1996.
 
  The Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended
November 30, 1996 has been prepared assuming the acquisitions of Camelott
Barthropp Limited and Manhattan Limousine occurred on December 1, 1995. For
purposes of the Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations, Manhattan
Limousine's Statement of Operations for the year ended September 30, 1996 has
been combined with the Consolidated Statement of Operations of the Company for
the year ended November 30, 1996. The Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of
Operations also reflects the issuance of 2,489,599 shares of Common Stock (at
the estimated initial public offering price of $12.00 per share, net of
estimated underwriting discounts) required to: (i) repay certain existing debt
of the Company, (ii) pay the cash and note portions of the purchase price for
Manhattan Limousine, (iii) repay certain debt assumed in connection with the
acquisition of Manhattan Limousine and (iv) redeem certain preferred stock of
the Company. The Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations also reflects
the issuance of an aggregate of 2,760,089 shares of Common Stock in connection
with (i) the acquisition of Manhattan Limousine (at the estimated initial
public offering price of $12.00 per share) and (ii) the issuance of shares of
Common Stock as part of the Recapitalization. These 5,249,688 shares are
assumed to have been issued, the debt repaid and the preferred stock redeemed
at the beginning of the period presented, and thus interest expense
attributable to such debt has been eliminated.
 
 
  The Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet reflects the assumed issuance as of
November 30, 1996 of 2,900,000 shares of Common Stock in this offering at the
estimated initial public offering price of $12.00 per share, and the
application of the proceeds (net of estimated underwriting discounts and
offering expenses payable by the Company) to: (i) repay certain existing debt
of the Company, (ii) pay the cash and note portions of the purchase price for
the acquisition of Manhattan Limousine, (iii) repay certain debt assumed in
connection with the acquisition of Manhattan Limousine and (iv) redeem certain
preferred stock of the Company, with the remaining net proceeds added to
working capital.
 
  The Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements do not purport to represent
what the Company's actual results of operations or financial position would
have been had the acquisitions occurred as of such dates, or to project the
Company's results of operations or financial position for any period or date,
nor does it give effect to any matters other than those described in the notes
thereto. In addition, the allocation of purchase price to the assets and
liabilities of Manhattan Limousine is preliminary and the final allocation may
differ from the amounts reflected herein. The Pro Forma Consolidated Financial
Statements should be read in conjunction with the other financial statements
and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Prospectus.

             NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
  To date, all of the Company's acquisitions have been accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting with the results of the acquired companies
included in the Company's statements of operations beginning on the date of
the acquisition.
 
 (1) Gives effect to the sale by the Company of 2,900,000 shares of Common
     Stock in this offering at an estimated offering price of $12.00 per
     share. After estimated underwriting discounts and offering expenses of
     $3.6 million, the estimated net proceeds of $31.2 million will be applied
     to: (i) the repayment of certain existing debt of the Company of $8.2
     million, (ii) the repayment of the cash and note portions of the purchase
     price for the acquisition of Manhattan Limousine of $7.1 million and $4.7
     million, respectively, (iii) the repayment of $3.7 million of debt
     assumed upon the acquisition of Manhattan Limousine, and (iv) the
     redemption of certain preferred stock of the Company for $3.1 million and
     the repayment of subordinated debt of approximately $912,000 as part of
     the Recapitalization (see Note 5, below). The balance of the net
     proceeds, estimated to be approximately $3.4 million, will be added to
     working capital.
 
 (2) Reflects deferred costs recorded of approximately $977,000 for offering
     expenses of which approximately $825,000 have been accrued for and
     approximately $152,000 have been paid. Also reflects the elimination of
     approximately $142,000 of capitalized financing fees related to certain
     debt repaid out of the proceeds of the offering.
 
 (3) Gives effect to the retention by the sellers of Manhattan Limousine of
     certain assets and liabilities consisting of: (i) cash of approximately
     $25,000, (ii) $2.6 million of accounts receivable, net, (iii) $1.2
     million of deposits and other assets, (iv) debt of $1.7 million
     collateralized by accounts receivable, and (v) certain liabilities of
     approximately $649,000.
 
 (4) Gives effect to the acquisition of Manhattan Limousine for $14.2 million,
     as if it occurred on November 30, 1996. The adjustments reflect: (i) a
     cash payment of $7.1 million, (ii) promissory notes issued in the
     aggregate amount of $4.7 million; and (iii) the issuance of $2.4 million
     of Common Stock. After taking into account all acquisition adjustments,
     the liabilities of Manhattan Limousine exceed its assets. Accordingly,
     the allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair value of the
     assets and liabilities assumed will result in the recognition by the
     Company of $19.1 million in goodwill. As part of the fair value
     allocation, the Company valued the facility at which Manhattan Limousine
     operates at its estimated fair market value of $1.1 million and certain
     radio frequencies used in the conduct of Manhattan Limousine's business
     at their estimated fair market value of $200,000. In January 1997,
     Manhattan Limousine increased the mortgage on this facility by
     approximately $520,000 to $800,000. The entire mortgage was included in
     the acquired liabilities.
 
 (5) Gives effect to the Recapitalization, which will be implemented at the
     time of the IPO. Pursuant to the Recapitalization: (i) the $2.0 million
     subordinated convertible note, dated September 1, 1991, and $2.9 million
     of the $3.8 million subordinated note dated July 30, 1992 will be
     converted or exchanged for an aggregate of 1,046,559 shares of Common
     Stock, (ii) the Series A Preferred Stock will be redeemed in part for
     $2.1 million and converted in part into 86,003 shares of Common Stock,
     (iii) all of the Series F and 3,000 shares of the Series G Preferred
     Stock will be redeemed for $1.0 million and (iv) the remaining Series G
     Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock will be converted into
     an aggregate of 1,427,527 shares of Common Stock.
 
 (6) Gives effect to the elimination from the Combined Statement of Operations
     of Manhattan Limousine of: (i) a one-time charge related to accounts
     receivable of approximately $218,000; (ii) redundant administrative and
     other costs immediately identifiable at the time of the acquisition of
     approximately $591,000; and (iii) approximately $65,000 of financing fees
     associated with debt retained by the seller.
 
 (7) Gives effect to the annual amortization of approximately $636,000 of
     goodwill recognized with respect to the acquisition of Manhattan
     Limousine.
 
 (8) Gives effect to an increase in interest associated with the promissory
     notes in the aggregate amount of $4.8 million used to acquire Manhattan
     Limousine and the increase of $520,000 in the mortgage, both of which
     will be repaid out of the proceeds of the offering. Also gives effect to
     a decrease in interest expense associated with the debt retained by the
     seller.
 
 (9) Gives effect to the elimination of interest income related to a note
     receivable retained by the seller.

                  CAREY INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
       NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
(10) Reflects the elimination of approximately $500,000 of interest on certain
     debt converted into Common Stock.
 
(11) Reflects directors' and officers' insurance costs the Company anticipates
     to incur in connection with being a public registrant and the elimination
     of $1.8 million of interest on certain current and long-term debt repaid
     from the proceeds of this offering.
 
(12) Reflects the estimated provision for income taxes at an assumed rate of
     42.3%, after giving consideration to nondeductible goodwill expense.
 
(13) Reflects the historical weighted average shares outstanding and
     supplemental pro forma net income per share to give effect to the
     Recapitalization. The supplemental pro forma net income per share is
     determined by (i) adjusting net income to reflect the elimination in
     interest expense, net of taxes, resulting from the conversion of a
     portion of the subordinated debt into common stock and (ii) increasing
     the weighted average shares outstanding by the number of shares of Common
     Stock resulting from such conversion of subordinated debt and the partial
     conversion of the Series A preferred stock pursuant to the
     Recapitalization.
 
(14) Pro forma net income per share was computed by dividing the pro forma net
     income for the year ended November 30, 1996 by the pro forma weighted
     average number of shares outstanding for that period. Pro forma weighted
     average shares outstanding include common share equivalents, and give
     retroactive effect as of December 1, 1995 for the following: (i) the
     repayment of certain existing debt of the Company in the principal amount
     of $8.2 million, (ii) the payment of the cash and note portions of the
     purchase price for the acquisition of Manhattan Limousine of $7.1 million
     and $4.7 million, respectively, (iii) the repayment of $3.7 million of
     debt assumed upon the acquisition of Manhattan Limousine, and (iv) the
     redemption of certain preferred stock of the Company for $3.1 million and
     the repayment of subordinated debt of the Company in the principal amount
     of approximately $912,000 as part of the Recapitalization. Pursuant to
     Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No.
     83, the common equivalent shares issued by the Company during the twelve
     months preceding the anticipated effective date of the Registration
     Statement relating to the Company's initial public offering, using the
     treasury stock method and an assumed public offering price of $12.00 per
     share, have been included in the calculation of pro forma net income per
     share. All share numbers give effect to the reverse stock split of one-
     for-2.3255 that is part of the Recapitalization.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Carey International, Inc.
 
  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Carey
International, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of November 30, 1995 and 1996, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders'
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
November 30, 1996. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Carey
International, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of November 30, 1995, and 1996, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended November 30, 1996, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
 
  As discussed in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements, the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of November 30, 1995, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity
and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended November 30, 1995
have been restated for a change in the revenue recognition method.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. BACKGROUND AND ORGANIZATION
 
 General
 
  Carey International, Inc. (the "Company") is one of the world's largest
chauffeured vehicle service companies, providing services through a worldwide
network of owned and operated companies, licensees and affiliates serving 420
cities in 65 countries. The Company owns and operates service providers in the
form of wholly-owned subsidiaries in the following cities: New York (Carey
Limousine N.Y., Inc.), San Francisco (Carey Limousine SF, Inc.), Los Angeles
(Carey Limousine L.A., Inc.), London (Carey UK Limited), Washington, D.C.
(Carey Limousine D.C., Inc.), South Florida (Carey Limousine Florida, Inc.)
and Philadelphia (Carey Limousine Corporation, Inc.). In addition, the Company
generates revenues from licensing the "Carey" name, and from providing central
reservations, billing, sales and marketing services to its licensees. The
Company's worldwide network also includes affiliates in locations in which the
Company has neither owned and operated locations nor licensees.
 
 Acquisitions and franchises
 
  The Company is engaged in a program of acquiring chauffeured vehicle service
businesses, including licensees operating under the Carey name and trademark.
These acquisitions are accounted for as purchases. The carrying value of the
assets acquired is determined by the negotiated purchase price. In addition to
acquiring licensees operating under the Carey name, the Company has acquired
chauffeured vehicle service businesses in cities in which the Company
operates. In 1995, these acquisitions included chauffeured vehicle service
companies operating in Washington, D.C., Miami, West Palm Beach and San
Francisco. In 1996, the Company acquired a chauffeured vehicle service company
in London, England.
 
 Reverse Stock Split
 
  On February 25, 1997, the Board of Directors authorized management of the
Company to file a Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission permitting the Company to sell shares of its common stock in an
initial public offering (the "IPO"). The Board of Directors, at the same
meeting and subject to stockholder approval, authorized a reverse stock split
of approximately one-for-2.3255 of the outstanding shares of the Company's
common stock. A majority of the Company's stockholders have approved the
reverse stock split. All references to common stock, options, warrants and per
share data have been restated to give effect to the reverse stock split. The
Board of Directors also authorized a Recapitalization Plan (see Note 18) on
February 25, 1997.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Basis of presentation
 
  The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of
the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated.
 
  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 and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 Cash and cash equivalents
 
  The Company considers all short-term investments with original maturities of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.

                  CAREY INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 Notes receivable from contracts
 
  An important component of the Company's operating strategy involves the
preferred use of non-employee independent operators chauffeuring their own
vehicles rather than employee chauffeurs operating Company-owned vehicles.
 
  Each independent operator enters into an agreement with the Company to
provide prompt and courteous service to the Company's customers with a
properly maintained, late model vehicle which he or she owns and for which he
or she pays all of the maintenance and operating expenses, including gasoline.
The Company, under the independent operator agreement, agrees to bill and
collect all revenues and remit to the independent operator 60% to 65% of
revenues, as defined in the agreement. Each new operator agrees to pay a one-
time fee generally ranging from $30,000 to $45,000 to the Company under the
terms of the independent operator agreement. Through 1996, the term of the
independent operator agreement generally ranged from 10 years to perpetuity.
(See "Revenue recognition").
 
  The Company typically receives a promissory note from the independent
operator as payment for the one-time fee due under the terms of the Standard
Independent Operator Agreement (see Note 4) and records the note in notes
receivable from contracts. The notes evidencing such financing generally were
sold on a non-recourse basis by the Company to third party finance companies
(see Note 11) in exchange for cash and promissory notes. Since September 1996,
the Company has ceased selling notes to third parties. Such promissory notes
due from finance companies have also been recorded in notes receivable from
contracts in the consolidated balance sheets.
 
 Concentration of credit risk
 
  Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable and notes receivable from contracts. The
Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with various financial
institutions. In order to limit exposure to any one institution, the Company's
cash equivalents are composed mainly of overnight repurchase agreements
collateralized by U.S. Government securities. Accounts receivable are
generally diversified due to the large number of entities comprising the
Company's customer base and their dispersion across many different industries
and geographies. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its
customers, and may require credit card documentation or prepayment of selected
transactions. Notes receivable from contracts are also geographically
dispersed and are supported by the underlying base of revenue serviced by each
respective independent operator (see Notes 4 and 11). The Company performs
ongoing evaluations of each independent operator's productivity and payment
capacity and has utilized third-party financing to reduce credit exposure.
 
 Fixed assets
 
  Furniture, equipment, vehicles, leasehold improvements and land and building
are stated at cost. Equipment under capital leases is stated at the lower of
the present value of minimum lease payments or the fair market value at the
inception of the lease. Depreciation on furniture, equipment, vehicles and
leasehold improvements is calculated on the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three to five years. The
building owned by the Company is depreciated over 40 years on a straight-line
basis. Sales and retirements of fixed assets are recorded by removing the cost
and accumulated depreciation from the accounts. Gains or losses on sales and
retirements of property are reflected in results of operations.
 
 Intangible assets
 
  Effective September 1, 1991, the Company acquired the Carey name and
trademark and the contract rights to all royalty fee payments by various Carey
licensees for a purchase price of $7 million. These assets are held by Carey
Licensing, Inc. and are being amortized over 40 years.
 
 
                                     F-13

 
                  CAREY INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
  The Company has acquired chauffeured vehicle service companies, all of which
have been accounted for as purchases. For each business acquired which is a
licensee of the Company, the excess of cost over the fair market value of the
net assets acquired is allocated to franchise rights in the consolidated
balance sheet. With respect to acquired businesses which are not licensees of
the Company, the excess of cost over the net assets acquired is allocated to
goodwill. Additional purchase price attributable to the operating performance
of the acquired entities is recorded as goodwill or franchise rights when
determined (see Note 13). Goodwill and franchise rights are amortized over 30
years using the straight-line method. Such amortization is included in
selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of
operations. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its intangible assets
based on estimated undiscounted cash flows over the lesser of the remaining
amortization periods or calculated lives, giving consideration to revenue
expected to be realized. This determination is based on an evaluation of such
factors as the occurrence of a significant change in the environment in which
the business operates or the expected future net cash flows (undiscounted and
without interest). There have been no adjustments to the carrying value of
intangible assets resulting from this evaluation.
 
 Revenue recognition
 
  Chauffeured vehicle services--The Company's principal source of revenue is
from chauffeured vehicle services provided by its operating subsidiaries. Such
revenue, net of discounts, is recorded when such services are provided. The
Company, through the Carey International Reservation System ("CIRS"), has a
central reservation system capable of booking reservations on behalf of its
licensees and affiliates. Under most circumstances, central reservations are
billed by the Company to the customer when the Company receives a service
invoice from the licensee or affiliate that provided the service. At such
time, the Company also records the gross revenue for the transaction.
 
  Fees from licensees--The Company charges an initial license fee under its
domestic license agreement and records the fee as revenue on signing of the
agreement. The Company also charges its domestic licensees monthly franchise
and marketing fees equal to stated percentages of monthly revenues, as defined
in the licensing agreement. Monthly fees to domestic licensees are generally
less than 10% of the licensee's monthly revenues. The Company records such
fees as revenues as they are charged to the licensees.
 
  International licensees and the Company's domestic and international
affiliates historically have not paid fees to the Company, but have instead
given a discount on business referred to them through CIRS. Such discounts
reduce the amount of service invoices to the Company from such licensees and
affiliates for services provided to customers whose reservations have been
booked and invoiced centrally by the Company.
 
  Independent operator fees--The Company enters into contracts with
independent operators ("Standard Independent Operator Agreements") to provide
chauffeured vehicle services exclusively to the Company's customers. When
independent operator agreements are executed, the Company defers revenue equal
to the amount of the one-time fees and recognizes the fees as revenue over the
terms of the contracts or over 20 years for perpetual contracts. Upon
termination of an independent operator agreement, the remaining deferred
revenue associated with the specific contract, less any amounts due from the
independent operator deemed uncollectible, is recognized as revenue.
 
 Income taxes
 
  The provision for income taxes includes income taxes currently payable and
the change during the year in the net deferred tax liabilities or assets.
Deferred income tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the
differences between the financial statement and tax bases of liabilities and
assets using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences
are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the net
deferred tax asset, if any, to a level which, more likely than not, will be
realized.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 Supplemental pro forma net income per common share
 
  Consistent with Staff Accounting Bulletin 4-C, the Company has recalculated
historical weighted average common shares outstanding and net income per
common share to give effect to the following matters pursuant to the
Recapitalization (see Note 18). The recalculated net income per common share
is determined by (i) adjusting net income available to common shareholders to
reflect the elimination in interest expense, net of taxes, resulting from the
conversion of a portion of the subordinated debt into common stock and (ii)
increasing the weighted average common shares outstanding by the number of
common shares resulting from such conversion of $4,867,548 subordinated debt
and the partial conversion of the Series A preferred stock.
 
 Stock-based compensation
 
  In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Boards issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS 123") Accounting for Stock-
Based Compensation, which is effective for the Company's financial statements
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. SFAS 123 allows companies
to either account for stock-based compensation under the new provisions of
SFAS 123 or under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25
("APB 25"), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The Company will
continue to apply the provisions of APB 25 and provide pro forma disclosure in
the notes to the financial statements.
 
 Foreign operations
 
  The Consolidated Balance Sheets include foreign assets and liabilities of
$3.7 million and $2.7 million as of November 30, 1996. The net effects of
foreign currency transactions reflected in income were immaterial. Assets and
liabilities of the Company's foreign operations are translated into United
States dollars using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and
results of operations items are translated using the average exchange rate
prevailing throughout the period.
 
 Reclassifications
 
  Certain accounts in 1994 and 1995 have been reclassified to conform with the
1996 presentation.
 
3. FEES FROM LICENSEES
 
  The total of all domestic license fees, franchise fees and marketing fees
earned in each of 1994, 1995 and 1996 was $1,466,588, $1,228,472 and
$2,180,540, respectively. Amounts due from licensees of $46,520 and $143,041
at November 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively, are included in accounts
receivable in the consolidated balance sheets of the Company.
 
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH INDEPENDENT OPERATORS
 
  The Company recorded approximately $1,153,000, $1,130,000 and $2,371,000 in
1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively, as deferred revenue relating to fees from
new agreements with independent operators. Amounts of deferred revenue
recognized as revenues in 1994, 1995 and 1996 amounted to approximately
$969,000, $889,000 and $936,000, respectively.
 
  Notes receivable from contracts include approximately $305,000 and $917,000
at November 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively, for amounts due from independent
operators and approximately $548,000 and $255,000 at November 30, 1995 and
1996, respectively, for amounts due from a related party financing company
(see Note 11).

                   CAREY INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
  In the normal course of business, the Company's independent operators are
responsible for financing their own vehicles through third parties. From time
to time, the Company has arranged lease and purchase financing for certain
vehicles and has in turn leased back such vehicles to independent operators on
terms and conditions similar to those under which the Company is obligated (see
Note 5).
 
5. FIXED ASSETS
 
  Fixed assets consist of the following:

  Certain loan agreements, principally the Company's line of credit agreement,
contain restrictive covenants which include financial ratios related to
working capital, debt service coverage, debt to net worth and maintenance of a
minimum tangible net worth, and submission of audited financial statements,
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, within
120 days after the end of the fiscal year. Additionally, these covenants
restrict the Company's capital expenditures and prohibit the payment of
dividends on the Company's common and preferred stock, except for the Series E
preferred stock. The Company did not meet certain covenants related to the
timely submission of financial statements, working capital, debt to net worth
and maintenance of a minimum tangible net worth at November 30, 1996. The
Company obtained waivers for compliance with these covenants through and
including November 30, 1996.
 
  The carrying value of notes payable approximates the current value of the
notes payable at November 30, 1996. (See Note 17 for discussions of the fair
value for the subordinated debt). Interest paid during the years ended
November 30, 1994, 1995, and 1996 was approximately $1,358,000, $1,662,000 and
$1,682,000, respectively.
 
7. LEASES
 
  The Company has several noncancelable operating leases, primarily for office
space and equipment, that expire over the next five years. Certain of the
Company's facilities are under operating leases which provide for rent
adjustments based on increases of defined indexes, such as the Consumer Price
Index. These agreements also typically include renewal options.

  A valuation allowance was provided in 1994 and 1995 to reduce the net
deferred tax asset to $0. In the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company concluded
that it was more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset would be
realized and therefore recorded a deferred tax benefit from the reversal of
the valuation allowance of $1,499,000.
 
  Income taxes paid during the years ended November 30, 1994, 1995 and 1996
amounted to $0, $10,375 and $210,437, respectively.

  At the option of preferred stockholders or upon the closing of an
underwritten public offering yielding net proceeds to the Company of at least
$10,000,000 and having an offering price of at least $14.81 per share, each
share of Series B, F and G preferred stock is convertible into the number of
shares of common stock equal to 500, 100 and 100 divided by the conversion
price, respectively. The conversion price as of November 30, 1996 was $7.216,
$7.406 and $7.406 for Series B, F and G preferred stock, respectively. The
Company has reserved 663,759, 135,025 and 633,393 shares of common stock,
respectively, for conversion of the Series B, F, and G preferred stock.
Antidilutive provisions lower the conversion price if certain securities are
issued by the Company at a price below the respective conversion prices then
in effect. The Company must redeem, on a pro rata basis, the outstanding
shares of Series A preferred stock plus for $100 per share any declared and
unpaid dividends upon the completion of an initial public offering yielding
net proceeds to the Company of at least $10,000,000. Series A, B and G
preferred stock have voting rights and Series F preferred stock is non-voting,
except under certain circumstances. (See Note 18 for discussion of the
Recapitalization, pursuant to which all of the preferred stock will be
redeemed or converted into common stock.)

11. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
  The Company has invested $750,000 in non-voting redeemable preferred stock
of a privately-held finance company formed for the purpose of providing
financing to the chauffeured vehicle services industry. This entity provides
financing to the Company's independent operators, without recourse to the
Company, for both automobiles and amounts due under independent operator
agreements. The Company sold $378,733, $1,762,345 and $1,015,897 of
independent operator notes receivable to this related-party finance company
for cash of $378,733, $1,290,899 and $733,793 and demand promissory notes of
$0, $471,446 and $282,104 in 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The unpaid
balances of the promissory notes were $547,930 and $255,664 at November 30,
1995 and 1996, respectively, and are included in notes receivable from
contracts. These promissory notes are due on demand and, generally, monthly
principal payments are received by the Company. These notes generally bear
interest rates of 7%.
 
  It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of the preferred stock
investment in a privately-held company. As a result, the Company's investment
in the privately-held finance company noted above is carried at its original
cost (less redemptions) of $750,000. At April 30, 1996, the total assets
reported by the privately-held company were $10,502,234 and stockholders'
equity was $1,108,448, revenues were $1,088,720 and net income was $96,681.
 
  Pursuant to a stock ownership agreement between the common stockholders of
the related-party finance company and the Company, the Company has an option
to purchase all of the outstanding common stock of the affiliate at $12,500
per common share or market value, if higher. The option is not exercisable
until April 15, 1998.
 
  A guarantee fee of $45,000 has been paid to both the Chairman of the Board
and the President of the Company for guaranteeing certain indebtedness (see
Note 6).
 
12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
  In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various legal
actions which are not material to the financial position, results of
operations or cash flows of the Company.
 
  The Company, certain of the Company's subsidiaries and certain officers and
directors of the Company were named in a civil action filed on May 15, 1996 in
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania
entitled "Felix v. Carey International, Inc., et al." The plaintiff's
complaint, which purports to be a class action, alleges that the plaintiff and
others similarly situated suffered monetary damages as a result of
misrepresentations by the various defendants in their use of a surface
transportation billing charge. The plaintiff seeks damages in excess of $1
million on behalf of the class for each of the counts in the complaint
including fraud, negligent misrepresentation and violations of the Racketeer
Influenced and Corrupt Organizations law of 1970, which permits the recovery
of treble damages and attorneys' fees. A class has not yet been certified in
this case. The Company filed a motion to dismiss that was denied, and
subsequently has filed an answer denying any liability in connection with this
complaint. The Company has agreed to indemnify and defend its officers and
directors who were named as defendants in the case, subject to conditions
imposed by applicable law. The Company is engaging in settlement discussions
with the plaintiff's counsel and does not believe that this litigation will
have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows of the Company.
 
13. ACQUISITIONS
 
  In December 1994, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of a
chauffeured vehicle service company in Boca Raton, Florida and consolidated
the operations within its existing operations in West Palm Beach.
Subsequently, the Company acquired an additional chauffeured vehicle service
company in Boca Raton

(in August 1995) and the Carey licensee in Fort Lauderdale--Miami (in April
1995) and consolidated the two additional businesses into the Carey South
Florida operations.
 
  In January 1995, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of the
Carey licensee in San Francisco, California ("Carey SF"). Subsequently, the
Company acquired the business of two additional chauffeured service companies
(in May and August 1995) and combined the acquired operations with those of
Carey SF.
 
  In April 1995, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of a
chauffeured vehicle services company in the Washington, DC area and combined
the acquired operations with those of Carey Limousine D.C., Inc.
 
  In February 1996, the Company acquired the common stock of a chauffeured
vehicle service company in London, England for approximately $1,500,000. The
acquisition was financed through the incurrence of an additional $950,000 in
debt and a payment of $550,000. Additional contingent consideration of up to
$1,000,000 may be payable with respect to each of the two years ending
February 28, 1998 based on the level of revenues referred to the acquired
company by the seller. As of November 30, 1996, the Company has paid $278,304
in contingent consideration in the acquisition of the London company. In
addition, the Company is required to pay a standard commission to the seller
of the acquired chauffeured vehicle service company for business referral,
which will be expensed as incurred.
 
  All acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases. The net assets
acquired and results of operations have been included in the financial
statements as of and from, respectively, the effective dates of the
acquisitions. The total consideration was allocated to the assets acquired
based upon their estimated fair values with any remaining consideration
allocated to either franchise rights or goodwill, as follows:

$291,755 in the years ended November 30, 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively, in
contingent consideration and increased goodwill by the same amounts (see Note

  Of the total uncollateralized promissory notes issued to sellers in 1995,
two notes totaling $303,000 were subject to reduction based upon the results
of the acquired entities (see Note 6). The two notes were repaid in 1996 for
approximately $211,000 and the difference of approximately $92,000 reduced by
recorded goodwill.

  On February 25, 1997, the Board of Directors adopted the 1997 Equity

16. REVENUE RECOGNITION METHOD
 
  The Company enters into agreements with independent operators under which
the independent operator contracts to provide chauffeured vehicle services
exclusively to the Company's customers over a contract period pursuant to a
Standard Independent Operator Agreement. Upon signing the Standard Independent
Operator Agreement, the Company is entitled to receive a one-time fee from the
independent operator. Previously, the Company would recognize the one-time fee
as revenue upon signing of the independent operator agreement and when
collection of the fee was reasonably assured. In accordance with APB 20, the
financial statements have been retroactively restated to report such fees as
deferred revenue which are recognized as revenue over the terms of the
contracts. (See Note 2). The effect of such restatements was to reduce 1994
and 1995 revenue, results of operations and stockholders' equity by $665,391
and $1,144,511, respectively (net of income taxes of $0 and $586,680 for 1994
and 1995, respectively).

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
  Common equivalent shares are included in the per share calculations where
the effect of their inclusion would be dilutive. Common equivalent shares
consist of Series B, F and G preferred stock as well as substantially all of
the subordinated debt of the Company and the assumed exercise of outstanding
stock options and warrants. Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission
Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 83, the common equivalent shares issued by
the Company during the twelve months preceding the anticipated effective date
of the Registration Statement relating to the Company's initial public
offering, using the treasury stock method and an assumed public offering price
of $12.00 per share, have been included in the calculation of pro forma net
income per common share.
 
  Net income (loss) available to common shareholders is the net income (loss)
for the fiscal year less accretion of dividends on the Series E preferred
stock of $8,750, $4,376 and $0 for 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively.
 
18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
  On February 25, 1997, the Board of Directors authorized a Recapitalization
Plan ("Recapitalization"), which will be implemented at the time of the IPO.
Under the Recapitalization, the $2,000,000 subordinated convertible note dated
September 1, 1991 and the $3,780,000 subordinated note dated July 30, 1992
will be converted or exchanged for 1,046,559 shares of common stock and
$912,454, with the cash portion paid out of the proceeds of the offering. The
Series A preferred stock will be converted in part into 86,003 shares of
common stock and redeemed in part for $2,103,500. All of the Series F
preferred stock and 3,000 shares of the Series G preferred stock will be
redeemed for an aggregate of $1,000,000. The remaining preferred stock will be
converted into 1,427,527 shares of common stock. As a result of the
Recapitalization, preferred stock with a liquidation preference of $11,154,900
and subordinated debt with a principal amount of $5,780,000 will be converted
in part into 2,560,089 shares of common stock and repaid or redeemed in part
for $4,015,952 in cash.
 
  On March 1, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase the
stock of Manhattan International Limousine Network Ltd. and an affiliated
company (jointly "Manhattan Limousine"). Manhattan Limousine is one of the
largest providers of chauffeured vehicle services in New York City and the
surrounding areas. The Company expects to consummate the acquisition at the
time of the IPO. If the acquisition of Manhattan Limousine is not completed by
May 20, 1997, the Company has agreed to pay additional purchase price in the
amount of $7,500 for each day after such date until the closing of the
acquisition, up to an aggregate of $675,000.
 
  On February 25, 1997, the Board of Directors, subject to stockholder
approval, adopted the 1997 Equity Incentive Plan ("the 1997 Plan"). A total of
650,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the 1997 Plan.
The Board of Directors also granted options to purchase a total of 411,500
shares of common stock under the 1997 Plan, such grants to be effective upon
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed by the Company in
connection with the IPO.
 
  Also on February 25, 1997, the Board of Directors, subject to stockholder
approval, adopted the Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors ("the Directors'
Plan"). A total of 100,000 shares of common stock of the Company are reserved
for issuance under the Directors' Plan. Options to purchase a total of 22,500
shares of common stock under the Directors' Plan were granted by the Board of
Directors, such grants to be effective upon the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement filed by the Company in connection with the IPO.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
 
To the Stockholders
 Manhattan International Limousine Network Ltd. and Affliliate
 
  We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Manhattan
International Limousine Network Ltd. and Affliliate (collectively, the
"Company") as of September 30, 1996, and the related combined statements of
operations and retained earnings (accumulated deficit) and cash flows for the
year 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 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 our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Manhattan
International Limousine Network Ltd. and Affliliate as of September 30, 1996,
and the combined results of their operations and their cash flows for the year
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
  As discussed in Note 10 to the combined financial statements, the
accompanying combined balance sheet as of September 30, 1996, and the related
combined statement of operations and retained earnings (accumulated deficit)
and cash flows for the year then ended have been restated for a change in the
revenue recognition method.

                    NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. BACKGROUND AND ORGANIZATION
 
  Manhattan International Limousine Network Ltd. and its wholly-owned
subsidiary (collectively, "MILN") are engaged primarily in the business of
providing chauffeured vehicle services in New York City and the surrounding
areas, and providing reservation and billing services to both individual and
corporate customers worldwide through an affiliation with a network of
independent chauffeured vehicle service companies. International Limousine
Network Ltd. ("ILN") is an affiliated company (the "Affiliate") engaged in
sales and marketing activities exclusively on behalf of MILN.
 
  The accompanying financial statements combine the accounts of MILN and ILN
because such entities are under common control. All intercompany transactions
have been eliminated. The combined entities are referred to herein as the
"Company."
 
  ILN operates on a calendar year. As a result, the accompanying financial
statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 1996 include the effects
of combining the financial statements of ILN as of and for the year ended
December 31, 1996.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
  The Company considers all short-term investments with original maturities of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
 Receivables from Independent Operators and Accounts Payable, Independent
Operators
 
  The Company enters into agreements with independent operators (franchisees)
under which the independent operator contracts to provide chauffeured vehicle
services exclusively to the Company's customers over the contract period. Upon
signing the agreement, the Company is entitled to receive a one-time fee from
the independent operator.
 
  The Company generally receives a minimal down payment from the independent
operator together with a promissory note (see Note 3) and records the note as
a receivable from the independent operator, but does not recognize revenue at
that time. (See Revenue Recognition.) In addition, the Company collects all
billings for services rendered by the independent operator and has the right
to withhold and remit, from the independent operator's earnings, all payments
due to the Company and certain third parties for, among other things, note
payments, two-way radio charges and lease obligations on vehicles, on a
monthly basis. The Company is then obligated to remit the balance of the
independent operator's earnings on a monthly basis. The unpaid balance due to
independent operators at the end of a given period is reflected as accounts
payable, independent operators in the accompanying balance sheet.
 
 Concentration of Credit Risk
 
  Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant
concentrations of credit risk include cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable and receivables from independent operators. The Company maintains
its cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions. Accounts
receivable are generally diversified due to the large number of entities
comprising the Company's customer base and their dispersion across many
different industries. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its
customers, and may require credit card documentation or prepayment of certain
transactions. Receivables from independent operators are supported by the
underlying base of revenues serviced by each respective independent operator.
The Company performs ongoing evaluations of the productivity and payment
capacity of each independent operator in order to manage its credit risk.

 Fixed Assets
 
  Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation on furniture, equipment,
vehicles and leasehold improvements is calculated on the declining balance
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the leaseholds,
generally three to five years. Buildings and improvements are depreciated on
the straight line method over 20 years. Sales and retirements of fixed assets
are recorded by removing the cost and accumulated depreciation from the
accounts. Gains and losses on sales of property are reflected in the results
of operations.
 
 Intangible Assets
 
  The Company owns Federal Communications Commission licenses to three radio
frequencies which it uses in the dispatch of vehicles used in its business.
The licenses have been fully amortized in prior 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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 Revenue Recognition
 
  Service revenues include fees derived from chauffeured vehicle services
provided by the Company's independent operators. Revenue is recorded for
chauffeured vehicle services when those services are provided.
 
  When the Company enters into an agreement with an independent operator, the
Company defers revenue equal to the amount of the contract and recognizes
those fees over the term of the contract, typically 20 years. Amortization of
deferred revenue is also included in independent operator service revenues in
the accompanying combined statements of operations. Upon termination of an
agreement, the remaining deferred revenue associated with the contract, less
any amounts due from the independent operators deemed uncollectible, is
recognized as revenue immediately.
 
  As described above, the Company typically provides extended financing terms
to its independent operators for payment of the independent operator fee.
Interest income is recognized as earned over the term of the loan agreement
with the independent operator.
 
  The Company provides reservation services to its customers for service in
other locations through its affiliation with a network of independent service
companies. Revenue related to services provided by a member of the network is
recognized as chauffeured vehicle service revenue when a gross service bill is
received from the member. The corresponding liability to the member, reduced
by the Company's discount, is recorded as a cost of revenue by the Company at
such time.
 
 Income Taxes
 
  For MILN, the provision for income taxes includes income taxes currently
payable and the change during the year in the net deferred tax assets or
liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based
on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the
differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided to
reduce the net deferred tax asset, if any, to a level which, more likely than
not, will be realized.

              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
  ILN has elected to be treated as an "S corporation" under provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code. As such, the income tax effects of ILN's operations are
borne directly by the stockholder, and no provision for ILN income taxes is
recorded in the accompanying financial statements.
 
 Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
 
  The combined financial statements as of and for the three-month period ended
December 31, 1996 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, those unaudited
financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary to present the financial statements on a
basis substantially consistent with the annual audited financial statements
contained herein. All disclosures herein related to December 31, 1996 and for
the three-month period ended December 31, 1996 are unaudited.
 
3. TRANSACTIONS WITH INDEPENDENT OPERATORS
 
  At the time the Company enters into an agreement with an independent
operator, the Company is entitled to receive a one-time fee. Those fees are
typically financed by the Company over 20 years at an interest rate of 15.75%
per annum. Independent operator fees are recognized as revenue ratably over
the terms of the agreements. In the opinion of management, the carrying value
of the loans approximates their fair value. Revenue recognized from
independent operator fees was $514,632 and $120,729 for the year ended
September 30, 1996 and for the three-month period ended December 31, 1996,
respectively.
 
  The Company's independent operators are responsible for financing their own
vehicles through third parties. Under programs the Company has established
with several automotive leasing organizations, the Company guarantees lease
payments until the independent operator has made twelve monthly lease
payments. As of September 30, 1996, the Company's independent operators had
aggregate lease obligations of $2,203,158 under these programs.
 
4. FIXED ASSETS
 
  Fixed assets consist of the following:

  On January 17, 1997, the Company refinanced its existing mortgage note on
its headquarters facility. The new note has a principal balance of $800,000
and is due five years from the date of origination. Interest is incurred at a
rate of 10.75% for the first year, after which the rate becomes variable at
prime plus 2.5%. Interest and principal payments are due monthly based on a
15-year amortization, with a balloon payment due at maturity.

  The provision for income taxes consists of the following:

  Income taxes paid amounted to $14,505 and $0 for the year ended September
30, 1996 and for the three-month period ended December 31, 1996, respectively.
 
7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
  Included in other noncurrent liabilities are loans from officers of the
Company with remaining principal balances of $358,444 and $294,944 as of
September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1996, respectively. The loans have
interest rates of 12.5% and are payable in equal installments of principal and
interest over terms of 15 years. Aggregate principal payments under the loans
were due as follows as of September 30, 1996:

8. CONTINGENCIES
 
  The Company is involved in various legal actions which arise in the normal
course of business. Management of the Company does not believe the ultimate
resolution of these actions will have a material effect on the financial
position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
 
9. MAJOR CUSTOMER
 
  The Company has one customer which accounted for approximately 18.0% of
service revenues for the year and three-month periods ended September 30, 1996
and December 31, 1996, respectively.
 
10. REVENUE RECOGNITION METHOD
 
  The Company enters into agreements with independent operators under which
the independent operator contracts to provide chauffeured vehicle services
exclusively to the Company's customers over a contract period. Upon signing
the contract, the Company is entitled to receive a one-time fee from the
independent operator. Previously, the Company recognized the one-time fee as
revenue upon signing of the agreement. In accordance with Opinion No. 20 of
the Accounting Principles Board, "Accounting Changes", the financial
statements have been retroactively restated to report such fees as deferred
revenue which are recognized as revenue over the terms of the contracts (see
Note 2). The effects of such restatements were to increase results of
operations and stockholders' equity by $5,996 and $252,541 for the year ended
September 30, 1996 and the three-month period ended December 31, 1996,
respectively.
 
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
  On March 1, 1997, the stockholders of MILN and ILN agreed to sell their
stock to Carey International, Inc., a company providing chauffeured vehicle
services.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Directors of Camelot Barthropp Limited (formerly Speed 6060 Limited):
 
  We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Camelot Barthropp Limited
as of December 31, 1995, and the related statement of operations for the
period from August 4, 1995 to December 31, 1995, all expressed in pounds
sterling. 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 audit.
 
  We conducted our audit in accordance with United Kingdom auditing standards
which do not differ in any significant respect from United States generally
accepted auditing standards. These standards require that we plan and perform
our 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 presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Camelot Barthropp Limited as of December
31, 1995, and the results of its operations for the period from August 4, 1995
to December 31, 1995, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United Kingdom (which differ in certain respects from
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States--see note 16).

            CAMELOT BARTHROPP LIMITED (FORMERLY SPEED 6060 LIMITED)
 
                       NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
            FOR THE PERIOD FROM AUGUST 4, 1995 TO DECEMBER 31, 1995
 
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
 
  The accompanying financial statements of Camelot Barthropp Limited
(previously Speed 6060 Limited) have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom ("U.K. GAAP"),
and are presented under the historical cost convention. These principles
differ in certain material respects from generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"); see note 16. All amounts are
expressed in pounds sterling ("(Pounds)").
 
  The accompanying financial statements do not represent the U.K. statutory
financial statements of Camelot Barthropp Limited, as certain
reclassifications and changes in presentation and disclosure have been made to
the U.K. financial statements prepared on a statutory basis in order to
conform, more closely with accounting presentation and disclosure requirements
applicable in the United States. The financial statements of Camelot Barthropp
Limited for the period from August 4, 1995 to December 31, 1995, on which the
auditors' report was unqualified, were the first prepared since its
incorporation. These were not full statutory financial statements and
therefore have not been delivered to the Registrar of Companies in England and
Wales.
 
  The ultimate parent undertaking of Camelot Barthropp Limited was The Savoy
Hotel PLC, a company incorporated under the laws of England throughout the
period from August 4, 1995 to December 31, 1995, of these financial
statements.
 
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
   USE OF ESTIMATES
 
  Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.K. GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses for an accounting period. Such estimates and assumptions could
change in the future as more information becomes known or circumstances alter,
such that Camelot Barthropp Limited's actual results may differ from the
amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements.
 
   DEPRECIATION
 
  Depreciation is provided so as to write off the cost being the market value
of motor vehicles acquired from a fellow subsidiary undertaking less the
estimated residual value of fixed assets over their expected useful lives.
 
  Depreciation on a straight line basis, mainly at the following annual rates:
 

                          
   Motor vehicles            --25%
   Furniture and equipment   --10%-20%
   Improvements to premises  --10%

 
   INVENTORIES
 
  Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
 
   DEFERRED TAXATION
 
  Provision is made for deferred taxation using the liability method at
current taxation rates on all material timing differences to the extent that
it is probable that a liability or asset will crystallize.
 
   REVENUES
 
  Revenues represent the invoiced value of services provided, excluding sales
related taxes.

15. POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS
 
  The parent undertaking sold Camelot Barthropp Limited to Carey
International, Inc. for an initial consideration of (Pounds)788,843. Further
consideration of (Pounds)672,752 will become payable on the parent undertaking
providing certain thresholds of business for Camelot Barthropp Limited are
achieved during the period to March 31, 1998.
 
16. SUMMARY OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN U.K. AND U.S. GAAP
 
  The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom ("U.K. GAAP"). These
accounting principles differ in certain material respects from the accoounting
principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). Described
below are the material differences between U.K. GAAP and U.S. GAAP affecting
the net income and shareholders' equity which are set forth in the tables that
follow.
 
   TRANSFER OF ASSETS BETWEEN FELLOW SUBSIDIARIES
 
  Under U.K. GAAP, assets can be transferred from one subsidiary to a fellow
subsidiary with the same parent undertaking, at their fair value. The
difference between the fair value and the historical cost of these assets will
result in an intragroup gain or loss in the statement of operations of the
subsidiary selling the assets. The assets would remain at their fair value in
the subsidiary that acquired the assets and the associated depreciation charge
would be provided on these fair values. Under U.S. GAAP, assets can only be
transferred from one subsidiary to a fellow subsidiary with the same parent
undertaking, at their historical cost. As a result, under U.S. GAAP, no
intragroup gain or loss would arise from the transaction, the assets would
remain at historical cost and the associated depreciation charge would be
provided on these historical costs.
 
   ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES IN A "CARVE OUT" SITUATION
 
  Under U.K. GAAP, certain costs incurred by the parent undertaking may not be
reflected in the subsidiary financial statements; however, disclosure of this
fact is generally provided in the subsidiary financial statements. Under U.S.
GAAP, historical income statements of a subsidiary should reflect all costs
incurred by the parent undertaking on its behalf, such as officer salaries and
corporate overheads.
 
   DEFERRED TAXES
 
  Under U.K. GAAP, deferred taxation is accounted for using the liability
method to the extent that it is considered probable that a liability will
crystallize in the foreseeable future. Under U.S. GAAP, deferred taxation is
provided for on all temporary differences and carryforwards. Deferred tax
assets are recognised to the extent that it is more likely than not that they
will be realized. Where doubt exists as to whether a deferred tax asset will
be realized, an appropriate valuation allowance is established.
 
   STOCK SUBSCRIPTIONS
 
  Under U.K. GAAP the amount of the shares issued, including those issued
pursuant to a stock subscription receivable, is shown on the face of the
balance sheet. Any subscription receivable due on these shares would be shown
separately in the balance sheet. Under U.S. GAAP, the net amount of the shares
being the amount of the shares issued after deducting any subscriptions
receivable therefrom, is shown on the face of the balance sheet.

  (C)STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
  To the Directors of Speed 6060 Limited (formerly Camelot Barthropp Limited):
 
  We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Speed 6060 Limited as of
December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the related statements of operations for each
of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1995, all expressed in
pounds sterling. 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 United Kingdom auditing standards
which do not differ in any significant respect from United States generally
accepted auditing standards. These standards require that we plan and perform
our 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 presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Speed 6060 Limited as of December 31, 1994
and 1995, and the results of its operations for each of the two years in the
period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United Kingdom (which differ in certain respects
from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States--see note
16).

  The Company has no recognized gains or losses other than the income (losses)
above and therefore no separate statement of total recognized gains and losses
has been presented.
 
  There is no difference between the income on ordinary activities before
taxation for the years stated above and their historical cost equivalents.
 
  The Company ceased trading at close of business on August 31, 1995 and

this date.

            SPEED 6060 LIMITED (FORMERLY CAMELOT BARTHROPP LIMITED)
 
                       NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1995
 
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
 
  The accompanying financial statements of Speed 6060 Limited (formerly
Camelot Barthropp Limited) have been prepared in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom ("U.K. GAAP"), and are
presented under the historical cost convention. These principles differ in
certain material respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States ("U.S. GAAP"); see note 16. All amounts are expressed in pounds
sterling ("(Pounds)").
 
  The accompanying financial statements do not represent the U.K. statutory
financial statements of Speed 6060 Limited, as certain reclassifications and
changes in presentation and disclosure have been made to the U.K. financial
statements prepared on a statutory basis in order to conform, more closely
with accounting presentation and disclosure requirements applicable in the
United States. The financial statements of Speed 6060 Limited for the year
ended December 31, 1995, on which the auditors' report was unqualified, were
the latest financial statements to have been delivered to the Registrar of
Companies in England and Wales.
 
  The ultimate parent undertaking of Speed 6060 Limited was The Savoy Hotel
PLC, a company incorporated under the laws of England throughout the period
being January 1, 1994 to December 31, 1995, of these financial statements.
 
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
   USE OF ESTIMATES
 
  Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.K. GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses for an accounting period. Such estimates and assumptions could
change in the future as more information becomes known or circumstances alter,
such that Speed 6060 Limited's actual results may differ from the amounts
reported and disclosed in the financial statements.
 
   DEPRECIATION
 
  Depreciation is provided so as to write off the cost less estimated residual
value of fixed assets over their expected useful lives.
 
  Depreciation is provided on a straight line basis, mainly at the following
annual rates:
 

                          
   Motor vehicles            --25%
   Furniture and equipment   --10%-20%
   Improvements to premises  --10%

 
   INVENTORIES
 
  Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
 
   DEFERRED TAXATION
 
  Provision is made for deferred taxation using the liability method at
current taxation rates on all material timing differences to the extent that
it is probable that a liability or asset will crystallize.

                FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1995
 
   REVENUES
 
  Revenues represent the invoiced value of services provided, excluding sales
related taxes.
 
   FOREIGN CURRENCIES
 
  Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies have been translated into
sterling at the rates ruling at the balance sheet date.
 
   LEASES
 
  Assets held under capital leases are capitalized in the balance sheet and
are depreciated over their useful lives. The interest element of the
repayments is charged to operations over the period of the contract on a
straight line basis. Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to
operations on a straight line basis over the lease term.
 
   PENSION COSTS
 
  The Company contributes into both defined benefit and defined contribution
schemes. An appropriate share of the costs of the pension schemes administered
by the Parent Undertaking, which are a defined benefit scheme and a defined
contribution scheme, are charged to operations for this Company in respect of
staff who are members of these schemes. Full details of these schemes are
disclosed in the financial statements of The Savoy Hotel PLC. The pension cost
charge for defined contribution schemes represents the amounts payable to
insurance companies in respect of the funds for the year to December 31.

  The income on ordinary activities before taxation is stated after charging:


                                                                1994      1995

5.TAXATION
 
UK corporation tax on income on ordinary activities for the
 years at 33%...............................................   63,000    31,333

  In 1995, the primary reason for the difference between the effective tax
rate (19%) and the nominal rate of UK corporation tax (33%) is that the
transfer of the traded assets of the Company was intra-group and therefore not
subject to corporation tax.

15.GUARANTEE
 
  The Company has entered into a Composite Accounting Agreement with Barclays
Bank PLC under which it has executed an unlimited guarantee in respect of the
bank overdraft and other banking facility of the Parent Undertaking and
certain Fellow Subsidiary Undertakings.
 
16.SUMMARY OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN U.K. AND U.S. GAAP
 
  The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom ("U.K. GAAP"). These
accounting principles differ in certain material respects from the accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). Described
below are the material differences between U.K. GAAP and U.S. GAAP affecting
the net income and shareholders' equity which are set forth in the tables that
follow:
 
  Transfer of assets between fellow subsidiaries
 
  Under U.K. GAAP, assets can be transferred from one subsidiary to a fellow
subsidiary with the same parent undertaking, at their fair value. The
difference between the fair value and the historical cost of these assets will
result in an intragroup gain or loss in the statement of operations of the
subsidiary selling the assets. The assets would remain at their fair value in
the subsidiary that acquired the assets. Under U.S. GAAP, assets can only be
transferred from one subsidiary to a fellow subsidiary with the same parent
undertaking, at their historical cost. As a result, under U.S. GAAP no
intragroup gain or loss would arise from the transaction, and the assets would
remain at historical cost.
 
  Allocation of expenses in a "carve out" situation
 
  Under U.K. GAAP, certain costs incurred by the parent undertaking may not be
reflected in the subsidiary financial statements; however, disclosure of the
fact is generally provided in the subsidiary financial statements. Under U.S.
GAAP, historical statements of operations of a subsidiary should reflect all
costs incurred by the parent undertaking on its behalf, such as officer
salaries and corporate overheads.

                FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1995
 
 
  Deferred taxes
 
  Under U.K. GAAP, deferred taxation is accounted for using the liability
method to the extent that it is considered probable that a liability will
crystallize in the foreseeable future. Under U.S. GAAP, deferred taxation is
provided for on all temporary differences and carryforwards. Deferred tax
assets are recognised to the extent that it is more likely than not that they
will be realized. Where doubt exists as to whether a deferred tax asset will
be realized, an appropriate valuation allowance is established.
 
 Proposed dividends
 
  Under U.K. GAAP dividends paid and proposed are usually shown on the face of
the statement of operations as an appropriation of current year earnings.
Proposed dividends are provided on the basis of recommendation by the
directors and may include dividends that are subject to subsequent approval by
shareholders before they are declared. Under U.S. GAAP, only dividends
approved during the current year are included in the statement of operations.
 
  The effect of the above noted differences between U.K. and U.S. GAAP are as
follows:
 
  (A) NET INCOME

  The Company will bear all of the foregoing fees and expenses.
 
ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
  The Company is a Delaware corporation. Reference is made to Section 145 of
the DGCL, as amended, which provides that a corporation may indemnify any
person who was or is a party to or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the
right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good
faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful. Section 145 further provides that a corporation similarly may
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of
the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that
he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation,
or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement
of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or
she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware
Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall
determine upon application that, despite an adjudication of liability, but in
view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery
or such other court shall deem proper. The Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation further provides that the Company shall indemnify its directors
and officers to the full extent permitted by the law of the State of Delaware.
 
  The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company's
directors shall not be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent
 
                                     II-1

 
that exculpation from liability is not permitted under the DGCL as in effect
at the time such liability is determined.
 
  The Certificate of Incorporation also provides that each person who was or
is made a party to, or is involved in, any action, suit, proceeding or claim
by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer or employee
of the Registrant (or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a
director, officer, trustee employee or agent of any other enterprise including
service with respect to employee benefit plans) shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the Registrant, to the full extent permitted by Delaware law, as
in effect from time to time, against all expenses (including attorneys' fees
and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts to be paid in
settlement incurred by such person in connection with the investigation,
preparation to defend or defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim.
 
  The rights to indemnification and the payment of expenses provided by the
Certificate of Incorporation do not apply to any action, suit, proceeding or
claim initiated by or on behalf of a person otherwise entitled to the benefit
of such provisions. Any person seeking indemnification under the Certificate
of Incorporation shall be deemed to have met the standard of conduct required
for such indemnification unless the contrary shall be established. Any repeal
or modification of such indemnification provisions shall not adversely affect
any right or protection of a director or officer with respect to any conduct
of such director or officer occurring prior to such repeal or modification.
 
  The Company maintains an indemnification insurance policy covering all
directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
 
  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters
at the closing specified in the Underwriting Agreement certificates in such
denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
 
  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of
its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by
it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
    (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
  1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of
  this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A under the Securities
  Act and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant
  to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed
  to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared
  effective.
 
    (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
  of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus
  shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the
  securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
  time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
                                     II-4

 
                                   SIGNATURES
 
  PURSUANT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, THE
REGISTRANT HAS DULY CAUSED THIS REGISTRATION STATEMENT TO BE SIGNED ON ITS
BEHALF BY THE UNDERSIGNED, THEREUNTO DULY AUTHORIZED, IN THE CITY OF
WASHINGTON, THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, ON THE 3RD DAY OF MARCH 1997.

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Carey International, Inc.
 
  In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements of
