NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BACKGROUND AND ORGANIZATION
General
Carey International, Inc. (the "Company") provides 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:
Boston (Boston Cars, Inc.), Indianapolis (Carey Limousine Indiana, Inc.),
London, England (Carey UK Limited), Los Angeles (Carey Limousine L.A.), New
York (Carey Limousine N.Y., Inc. and Manhattan International Limousine
Network, Ltd.), Philadelphia (Carey Limousine Corporation, Inc.), San
Francisco (Carey Limousine SF, Inc.), South Florida (Carey Limousine
Florida, Inc.),and Washington, D.C. (Carey Limousine D.C., Inc.). In
addition, the Company licenses the "Carey" name, and provides central
reservations, billing, and sales and marketing services to its licensees.
The Company's worldwide network includes affiliates in locations in which
the Company has neither owned and operated locations nor licensees. The
Company provides central reservations and billing services to such
affiliates.
Acquisitions
The Company is engaged in a program of acquiring chauffeured vehicle
service businesses. The chauffeured vehicle service businesses that the
Company seeks to acquire may be in cities in which the Company has owned and
operated service providers, licensees operating under the Carey name and
trademark, and affiliates of the Company. In fiscal 1997 the Company
acquired chauffeured vehicle service companies in New York, Los Angeles
and Indianapolis. In the first six months in fiscal 1998, the Company
acquired four chauffeured vehicle service companies in London, England,
Boston and Miami. (See Note 3)
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and these notes do
not include all of the disclosures included in the Company's audited
consolidated financial statements for the years ended November 30, 1996 and
1997, and should be read in conjunction with those financial statements. For
further information, such as the significant accounting policies followed by
the Company, refer to the notes to the Company's audited consolidated
financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements included herein have not been
audited. However, in the opinion of management, the consolidated financial

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
Pro forma net income per common share
Consistent with Staff Accounting Bulletin IB-2, the Company has
recalculated historical weighted average common shares outstanding and net
income per common share to give effect to a recapitalization effected by the
Company during fiscal 1997. The recalculated pro forma 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 $4,867,546 of subordinated debt into Common
Stock and (ii) increasing the weighted average common shares outstanding by
the number of common shares resulting from the conversion of such debt, as
well as the partial conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.
3. ACQUISITIONS
In the periods ended May 31, 1997 and 1998, the following acquisition
activity was recorded by the Company:

4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various
legal actions which are not material to the financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows of the Company.
One of the corporations acquired by the Company has been examined by the
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for periods prior to the acquisition date.
The IRS has notified the acquired corporation of challenges to its methods
of accounting and the tax treatment of certain items in those
5
CAREY INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
tax returns. The Company believes that any assessments ultimately
sustainable by the IRS in this matter would be offset by Net Operating Loss
Carryforwards (NOLs) of the acquired corporation and indemnification
payments under the acquisition agreements, and would not have a material
effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the
Company.
5. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
In 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Basic net
income per common share has been computed by dividing net income by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted net income per common share has been computed by dividing net income
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus an assumed
increase in common shares outstanding for dilutive securities. Dilutive
securities consist of convertible securities which are dilutive, preferred
stock, and options and warrants to acquire Common Stock for a specified
price and for which the dilutive effect is measured using the treasury
method. Net income per common share amounts for all periods presented have
been restated to conform to SFAS No. 128.
Net income per common share, on a historical basis, is as follows:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1998 (THE "1998 PERIOD") COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS
ENDED MAY 31, 1997 (THE "1997 PERIOD")
Revenue, Net. Revenue, net increased $12.1 million or 64.8% from $18.7
million in the 1997 Period to $30.8 million in the 1998 Period. Of the increase,
$4.0 million resulted from expanded use of the Carey network, including an
increase in business from corporate travel customers and business travel
arrangers. A further $8.1 million of the increase was due to the revenues from
companies acquired by Carey, including Manhattan International Limousine
Network, Ltd. and affiliate ("Manhattan Limousine"), which was acquired on June
2, 1997, Commonwealth Limousine Services, Inc., which was acquired on October 1,
1997, TWW, which was acquired on December 1, 1997, Custom Transportation
Services International, Inc. which was acquired on March 1, 1998 and A and A
Limousine Renting, Inc. which was acquired on May 1, 1998.
Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue increased $8.5 million or 69.6% from $12.2
million in the 1997 Period to $20.7 million in the 1998 Period. The increase was
primarily attributable to higher costs due to increased business levels and to
increased cost associated with businesses acquired by Carey subsequent to the
1997 Period. Cost of revenue increased as a percentage of revenue, net from
65.2% in the 1997 Period to 67.1% in the 1998 Period, primarily reflecting
relatively greater reliance on subcontractors, or "farm-outs," to service higher
levels of business during peak periods as well as increases in costs for
businesses acquired during the 1998 Period that were not fully integrated into
the Company's operations.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and
administrative expense increased $2.4 million or 53.6% from $4.5
million in the 1997 Period to $6.9 million in the 1998 Period. The increase
largely was due to the costs associated with higher business levels and costs of
acquired businesses including personnel costs, administrative expenses and
marketing expenses, and an increase in amortization of intangibles. Selling,
general and administrative expense decreased as a percentage of revenue, net
from 24.1% in the 1997 Period to 22.5% in the 1998 Period as a result of an
increase in revenue, net without a corresponding increase in administrative
costs.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased 69.5% from approximately
$424,000 in the 1997 Period to approximately $129,000 in the 1998 Period,
primarily as a result of the use of proceeds from the Company's sale of common
stock to repay outstanding debt and the conversion of subordinated and certain
other debt to Common Stock coincident with the Company's 1997 initial public
offering (the "IPO").
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes increased
approximately $745,000 from approximately $605,000 in the 1997 Period to
approximately $1.4 million in the 1998 Period. The increase primarily was a
result of the increase in pre-tax income of the Company from $1.6 million in the
1997 Period to $3.2 million in the 1998 Period.
Net Income. As a result of the foregoing, the Company's net income increased
approximately $880,000 or 87.3% from approximately $1.0 million in the 1997
Period to approximately $1.9 million in the 1998 Period.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--(CONTINUED)
SIX MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1998 (THE "1998 SIX-MONTH PERIOD") COMPARED TO SIX
MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1997 (THE "1997 SIX-MONTH PERIOD")
Revenue, Net. Revenue, net increased $20.2 million or 58.8% from $34.3
million in the 1997 Six-Month Period to $54.5 million in the 1998 Six-Month
Period. Of the increase, $6.1 million related to expanded use of the Carey
network, including an increase in business from corporate travel customers and
business travel arrangers, and $14.1 million was due to revenues of Manhattan
Limousine, Commonwealth Limousine Services, Inc., TWW, Custom Transporation
Services International, Inc. and A and A Limousine Renting, Inc., which were not
included in the 1997 Six-Month Period.
Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue increased $14.2 million or 62.6% from $22.7
million in the 1997 Six-Month Period to $36.9 million in the 1998 Six-Month
Period. The increase was primarily attributable to higher costs due to increased
business levels and to costs of revenue of the acquired corporations which were
not included in the 1997 Six-Month Period. Cost of revenue increased as a
percentage of revenue, net from 66.1% in the 1997 Six-Month Period to 67.7% in
the 1998 Six-Month Period, primarily reflecting a greater reliance on
subcontractors or "farmouts," to service higher levels of business during peak
periods as well as increases in costs for busineses acquired during the 1998
Six-Month that were not fully integrated into the Company's operations.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and
administrative expense increased $4.0 million or 46.4% from $8.7 million in the
1997 Six-Month Period to $12.8 million in the 1998 Six-Month Period. The
increase was largely due to the costs of additional personnel, increased
marketing expenses and increased administrative expense in support of higher
business levels. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased as a
percentage of revenue, net from 25.4% in the 1997 Six-Month Period to 23.4% in
the 1998 Six-Month Period as a result of an increase in revenue, net without a
corresponding increase in administrative costs.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased approximately $609,000 or 71.4%
from approximately $853,000 in the 1997 Six-Month Period to approximately
$244,000 in the 1998 Six-Month Period. The decrease resulted from repayment of
the principal amounts of debt outstanding between the two periods and conversion
of subordinated and certain other debt to Common Stock coincident with the IPO.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes increased $1.2
million from approximately $874,000 in the 1997 Six-Month Period to $2.0 million
in the 1998 Six-Month Period. The increase primarily related to the increase in
pre-tax income of the Company from $2.2 million in the 1997 Six-Month Period to
$4.8 million in the 1998 Six-Month Period.
Net Income. As a result of the foregoing, the Company's net income increased
$1.4 million or 104.2% from $1.4 million in the 1997 Six-Month Period to $2.8
million in the 1998 Six-Month Period.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --(CONTINUED)
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's primary sources of funding have been cash flow from operations,
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. In June 1997, the Company
completed the IPO from which it received net proceeds of $30.8 million and in
May 1998, the Company completed a secondary offering which it received net
proceeds of $29.8 million.
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 Carey
International Reservations System (CIRS) and the Company's automated operation
and information systems.
Net cash provided by in operating activities was $2.5 million in the 1997
Six Month Period, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of
approximately $2.1 million in the 1998 Six-Month Period. As of May 31, 1998, the
Company's working capital and current ratio improved to approximately $30.6
million and 2.5:1, respectively, as a result of the use of net proceeds from
the secondary offering and continued cash flow from operations.
Cash used in investing activities was $1.2 million in the 1997 Six-Month
Period compared to cash used in investing activities of $3.9 million in the
1998 Six-Month Period. Cash was used in the 1998 Six-Month Period to acquire
operations in London, Boston and Miami, whereas relatively little acquisition
activity occurred in the 1997 Six-Month Period. In both Six-Month Periods,
funds used for acquisitions and capital expenditures were offset in part by
proceeds from the sale of fixed assets, primarily vehicles acquired in
connection with the purchase of chauffeured vehicle service companies.
Cash used in financing activities was $1.9 million in the 1997 Six-Month
Period compared to cash provided by financing activities of $27.4 million in the
1998 Six-Month Period, primarily from the issuance of stock in the secondary
offering in the 1998 Six-Month Period after the net payment of notes payable
from such net proceeds.
On August 15, 1997, the Company entered into a senior credit facility with
three banks consisting of a secured revolving line of credit of $25.0 million
(the "Facility"). As of May 31, 1998, the Company had no amounts outstanding
under the Facility, as a result of the repayment of balances from the net
proceeds of the secondary offering. The Facility, which may be used for
acquisitions and working capital, is collateralized by the assets of the Company
and its domestic subsidiaries and by a pledge of the stock of its international
subsidiary. The Facility also provides availability for the issuance of letters
of credit. Loans made under the revolving line of credit bear interest at the
Company's option at either the bank's prime lending rate or 2.0% above the LIBOR
rate. Commitment fees equal to 0.375% per annum are payable on the unused
portion of the revolving line of credit. On the second anniversary of the
Facility, outstanding balances under the Facility will convert to a five-year

(subject to availability) or at a variable LIBOR or prime-based rate with
adjustments determined based on the Company's earnings. The terms of the
Facility (i) prohibit the payment of dividends by the Company, (ii) with certain
exceptions, prevent the Company from incurring or assuming other indebtedness
that is not subordinated to borrowings under the Facility and (iii) require the
Company to comply with certain financial covenants.
The Company is in the process of upgrading the CIRS and certain other computer
systems. The upgrades are designed to provide enhanced customer service and
management information. These upgrades, which will continue throughout 1998 and
1999, also are designed to allow such systems to overcome what commonly is
referred to as the "Year 2000 Problem." The Year 2000 Problem, which is common
to most corporations, concerns the inability of certain information systems,
primarily computer software programs, to properly recognize and process date
sensitive information related to the year 2000 and beyond. The Company does not
anticipate that the cost of these upgrades will have a material adverse effect
on its financial condition and results of operations in any single future year.
