These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companies' 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.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1997 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows. PRINCIPLES OF COMBINATION ------------------------- The combined financial statements include the financial statements of Blue Ribbon Rentals, Inc. and the financial statements of Blue Ribbon Rentals II, Inc. (collectively referred to as the "Company"). The financial statements of the companies have been combined due to common ownership of the companies. NATURE OF BUSINESS ------------------ Blue Ribbon Rentals, Inc. and Blue Ribbon Rentals II, Inc. are Ohio corporations which operate in the rent-to-own industry. Blue Ribbon Rentals, Inc. operates a chain of eight stores located in Northeast Ohio and Blue Ribbon Rentals II, Inc. operates a chain of seven stores located in Northeast Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. 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 amount 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. PROPERTY HELD FOR RENT ---------------------- Rental property consists of consumer durable goods such as consumer audio and visual products, appliances and furniture held for rent or rented in the normal course of business. Rental property is rented to customers pursuant to rental agreements which provide for either weekly or monthly rental payment terms. Generally, the rental agreements provide for 78 to 104 weekly payments or 18 to 24 monthly payments. The rental agreements provide for ownership of the property to pass to the customer after a stated number of rental payments have been made. The rental agreements may be terminated at any time by the customer, and, if terminated, the rental property is returned to the Company. The customer can elect to exercise an option to purchase the rental property for amounts established at the initiation of the rental agreement, which typically are less than the future remaining agreement payments. 12 Blue Ribbon Rentals, Inc. and Blue Ribbon Rentals II, Inc. NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED December 31, 1997 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED PROPERTY HELD FOR RENT - CONTINUED Payments due under rental agreements in force at December 31, 1997 would approximate $11,000,000 if collected in full over the terms of the agreements. Property held for rent is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and an allowance for skips, stolen and charge-offs. The Company depreciates the property over its estimated useful life with the property being fully depreciated 24 months after acquisition. For tax purposes, the Company uses 3 years MACRS. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT ---------------------- Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. INCOME TAXES ------------ The Company has elected to be taxed as an S Corporation under the provisions of Section 1361 of the Internal Revenue Code and, therefore, is not subject to federal and certain state income taxes. Instead, the shareholder is taxed on the Company's taxable income, whether or not distributed. Accordingly, a provision for these income taxes is not provided in these financial statements. RENTAL REVENUE -------------- Revenue from property held for rent is recognized over the terms of the lease period. Amounts received from the sale of property held for rent, in excess of the carrying value of such property, are included in rental income. STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS ----------------------- For purposes of the statement of cash flows, management considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents. Cash paid for interest amounted to $68,962 for the year ended December 31, 1997. 13 Blue Ribbon Rentals, Inc. and Blue Ribbon Rentals II, Inc.

The agreements were amended in 1997, to provide for combined maximum borrowings of $1.7 million, subject to formulas contained therein. The amended agreements run through June 30, 1999 and provide for interest at the bank's prime rate (8.5% at December 31, 1997) plus 3/4%. Borrowings under the agreements are collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets and an insurance policy on the life of the sole shareholder in the amount of $1,500,000. The notes payable - bank represents amounts payable in monthly principal and interest installments aggregating approximately $4,600. Interest on the notes range from 9% to 9.5%. The notes are collateralized by certain vehicles. NOTE D - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company is affiliated with numerous other entities by virtue of common management and control. The Company periodically advances monies to and receives advances from its sole shareholder and other affiliated entities. The net amount due to related parties was $848,532 at December 31, 1997, which consists of $1,574,210 due from the related parties to Blue Ribbon Rentals, Inc. and $2,422,742 due to related parties from Blue Ribbon Rentals II, Inc. The balances bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum.

The Company leases its store locations on a month-to-month basis from the shareholder and an affiliated entity. These related parties lease the properties from unrelated parties under leases expiring at various dates through 2008. Rent expense for the fifteen store locations and the home office leased on a month-to-month basis from the shareholder and an affiliated entity approximated $370,000 in 1997. NOTE E - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The Company has a profit sharing plan which covers substantially all employees meeting minimum age and service requirements.

Blue Ribbon Rentals, Inc. operates a chain of eight stores located in Northeast Ohio and Blue Ribbon Rentals II, Inc. operates a chain of seven stores located in Northeast Ohio and Western Pennsylvania. BASIS OF PRESENTATION --------------------- The accompanying unaudited condensed combined financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1998. The unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1997. PRINCIPLES OF COMBINATION ------------------------- The combined financial statements include the financial statements of Blue Ribbon Rentals, Inc. and the financial statements of Blue Ribbon Rentals II, Inc. (collectively referred to as the "Company"). The financial statements of the companies have been combined due to common ownership of the companies.

NOTE B - SUBSEQUENT EVENT - ------------------------- On March 1, 1999, substantially all the assets and operations of the Company were sold to Rainbow Rentals, Inc. 19 UNAUDITED PROFORMA CONDENSED CONSOLDIATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION The following unaudited proforma condensed financial statements of income give effect to the acquisition by Rainbow Rentals, Inc. ( the "Company") of substantially all the assets and operations of Blue Ribbon Rentals, Inc. and Blue Ribbon Rentals II, Inc. ( collectively, "Blue Ribbon" ) in a transaction to be accounted for as a purchase. The unaudited proforma condensed statements of income are based on the consolidated statements of income of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and the year ended December 31, 1997 and the combined statements of earnings of Blue Ribbon for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and the year ended December 31, 1997. The results of operations of the Company and Blue Ribbon have been combined to give effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 1997, the beginning of the Company's 1997 fiscal year. The unaudited proforma condensed consolidated financial information is based upon preliminary fair value allocations relative to the purchase of Blue Ribbon. The final allocation of the purchase price may vary as additional information is obtained, and accordingly, the ultimate allocations may differ from the allocations used in the unaudited proforma consolidated condensed financial statements. The proforma financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. No unaudited proforma condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 1998 has been included because the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1999, which reflects the effects of the Blue Ribbon acquisition, has been made available in the Company's Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 14, 1999. The unaudited proforma condensed consolidated financial information presented is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have been reported had the acquisition actually occurred on the dates indicated or which may be obtained in the future. The proforma condensed statements of income should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes thereto of Blue Ribbon appearing in the response to Item 7 of this current report on Form 8-K/A and the historical financial statements, related notes, and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation" of the Company for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the nine months ended September 30, 1998, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 20 F-11 RAINBOW RENTALS, INC.

As Blue Ribbon elected to be taxed as an S Corporation under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, it is not subject to federal and state income taxes. See proforma footnote (e) for the effect of recording a provision for income taxes at Blue Ribbon's estimated effective tax rate. (c) Reflects the amortization of goodwill of approximately $7.0 million over a 20 year useful life and amortization of a $300,000 agreement not to compete over the contract life of five years. (d) Reflects interest expense on borrowings of approximately $10.4 million incurred in connection with the acquisition of Blue Ribbon. The Company's Credit Facility used to fund the acquisition bears interest at the prime rate. The prime rate on March 1, 1999 was 7.75 percent and this rate has been used for the proforma adjustment. For purposes of the proforma statements of income, a 1/8 percentage point change in the prime rate would result in an increase or decrease in income before income taxes of approximately $13,000 and $10,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997 and the nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively. This adjustment additionally includes the effect of eliminating net interest paid by Blue Ribbon to its sole shareholder of $38,613 and $24,556, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 1997 and the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The net amount due by Blue Ribbon to its sole shareholder on March 1, 1999 was not assumed by the Company and thus the interest effect will not impact the Company's results on an ongoing basis. (e) Reflects the income tax effect of proforma adjustments to income before income taxes as well as income taxes calculated on Blue Ribbon's historical income before income taxes. This adjustment based on Blue Ribbon's historical earnings was required given Blue Ribbon's elected S Corporation status under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The tax adjustment was calculated using an estimated combined federal and state statutory rate of 41.5 percent. (f) Historical combined financial statements of Blue Ribbon (as reclassified to conform with the Company's format) include general and administrative expenses of $1.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1997 and the nine months ended September 30, 1998. These expenses are primarily associated with the operation of Blue Ribbon's headquarters location. These operations were not acquired by the Company. While the Company's management cannot precisely estimate the impact of the Blue Ribbon acquisition on its general and administrative expenses, management does anticipate considerable cost savings given its ability to absorb additional administrative activities with its pre-acquisition home office structure. No proforma adjustment has been made to reflect such anticipated savings.
