RENTERS CHOICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. The interim financial statements of Renters Choice, Inc. and Subsidiary (the
"Company") included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have
been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although
the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1995. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of
those of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the Company's
results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results
of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.

2. On May 15, 1996 the Company acquired all the outstanding common stock of
ColorTyme, Inc. ("ColorTyme") pursuant to a merger (the "Merger") of a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company with ColorTyme. The total Merger
consideration consisted of cash of $4,665,751 paid to shareholders and
343,175 shares of the Company's common stock, valued at $19.04 per share. The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, the operating
results of ColorTyme have been included in the operating results of the
Company since May 1, 1996. Goodwill is amortized over twenty years, and
identifiable intangible assets are amortized over periods from eighteen
months to ten years. The assets purchased, liabilities assumed and equity

CASH PURCHASE PRICE $ 2,791,891
================

Immediately following the purchase of ColorTyme by the Company, ColorTyme
sold its franchise loan portfolio (with certain recourse provisions) to a
third party for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $21.7 million .
At September 30, 1996, ColorTyme's provision for future possible losses
related to the sale of the loan portfolio is $1,016,605. ColorTyme
simultaneously paid off related notes payable owed to Chrysler First
Commercial Corporation for $13.2 million. No gain or loss was recognized on
the sale.

The following summary, prepared on a pro forma basis, combines the results
of operations as if ColorTyme, Crown Leasing Corporation and certain of its
affiliates, and Pro Rental, Inc. had been acquired as of the beginning of
each of the nine month and three month periods ending September 30, 1996 and
1995, after including the impact of purchase accounting adjustments and the
additional shares issued as consideration.

3. The Company has a credit agreement with its current lender for $40 million.
This agreement consists of a $10 million revolving credit facility and a $30
million term loan facility. Borrowings under the term loan facility bear
interest at a rate equal to the National prime rate as published in the WALL
STREET JOURNAL (8-1/4% per annum at September 30, 1996) and borrowings under
the revolving credit facility bear interest at such designated prime rate, in
each case as adjusted monthly. All borrowings are secured by a lien on
substantially all of the Company's assets. Borrowings under the revolving
credit facility are due on April 30, 1997. Any term loan borrowings will be
funded in individual notes amortized over five-year periods payable in equal
monthly installments (including interest). The commitment on the term
facility expires April 30, 1997, and bears no commitment fee. The credit
agreement includes certain cash flow and net worth requirements, as well as
covenants which limit the ability of the Company to incur additional
indebtedness, grant liens, transfer assets out of the ordinary course of
business or engage in merger transactions. At September 30, 1996, there were
no outstanding borrowings under either of these facilities.

On September 30, 1996, the Company executed a commitment letter with a
syndicate of banks led by Comerica Bank to provide financing in the aggregate
principal amount of $90 million. The commitment is subject to certain terms
and conditions set forth in the letter. The terms and conditions of the
financing are being negotiated, and the agreement is expected to be executed
before year-end.

RENTERS CHOICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. The actual future results of the Company could differ materially
from those statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences include, but are not limited to, uncertainties regarding the ability
to acquire additional rent-to-own stores on favorable terms, to enhance their
performance and to integrate the acquired stores into the Company's operations.

In April 1995, the Company acquired 72 stores located in 18 states from
Crown Leasing Corporation and certain of its affiliates (the "Crown
Acquisition") and two other stores in a separate transaction. In August 1995,
the Company acquired 135 stores located in 10 states by purchasing the issued
and outstanding stock of Pro Rental, Inc., the parent company of a chain of
rent-to-own stores doing business as Magic Rent-to-Own and Kelway Rent-to-Own
(the "Magic Acquisition" and, together with the Crown Acquisition, the "1995
Acquisitions"). In May 1996, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding
stock of ColorTyme, Inc. ("ColorTyme"), a franchisor of 313 rent-to-own stores,
pursuant to the Merger. Prior to the Merger, ColorTyme operated six company
owned stores, all of which were purchased by the Company subsequent to the
Merger. The Company acquired an additional seventeen stores in seven separate
transactions in the first half of 1996 (together with the ColorTyme Acquisition,
the "1996 Acquisitions") and fifty stores in seven separate transactions through
November 7, 1996. The 1995 and 1996 Acquisitions were accounted for as purchases
and, accordingly, the operating results of the acquired stores and franchisor
have been included in the operating results of the Company since the respective
dates of acquisition. Primarily as a result of the impact of the 1995 and 1996
Acquisitions on the results of operations, comparisons of the operating results
for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 may
not be meaningful or indicative of future results.

COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995

Total revenue increased by $80.2 million, or 92.6%, to $166.8 million for
1996 from $86.6 million for 1995. The increase in total revenue was primarily
attributable to the inclusion of the 209 stores purchased in 1995, and the 1996
Acquisitions. Total revenue exclusive of the 1995 and the 1996 Acquisitions
increased by $5.2 million, or 7.9% to $71.4 million for 1996 from $66.2 million
in 1995. This improvement was primarily attributable to an increase in revenue
earned per item on rent.

Depreciation of rental merchandise increased by $11.9 million, or 62.3%,
to $31.0 million for 1996 from $19.1 million for 1995. Depreciation of rental
merchandise expressed as a percent of rental revenue decreased from 23.1% in
1995 to 21.8% in 1996. The decrease was primarily attributable to higher rental
rates on rental merchandise.

Salaries and other expenses expressed as a percentage of total store
revenue increased to 55.5% for 1996 from 51.2% for 1995. This increase is
attributable to increase in salaries for employees of acquired stores
immediately following the acquisitions while store revenues have increased
gradually. Additionally, the Company increased its advertising efforts during
the first nine months of 1996 in the markets related to the 1995 and 1996
Acquisitions. Occupancy costs also increased as a percent of total revenue
primarily because of the relocation of certain stores acquired in the 1995
acquisitions to stores that are larger in square footage. Revenues from these
larger stores increase gradually while the additional occupancy costs are
incurred immediately. The average relocated store is approximately 4,000 square
feet. General and administrative expenses expressed as a percent of total
revenue decreased to 4.2% for 1996 from 4.9% for 1995. The decrease is primarily
attributable to increased economies of scale resulting from the 1995 and 1996
Acquisitions.

RENTERS CHOICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

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

Operating profit increased by $7.7 million, or 54.2%, to $21.9 million for
1996 from $14.2 million for 1995. This improvement was primarily attributable to
an increase in revenue earned per item on rent, in stores acquired in the 1995
and 1996 Acquisitions. Net earnings increased by $5.2 million, or 69.3%, to
$12.7 million in 1996 from $7.5 million in 1995. The improvement was a result of
the increase in operating profit described above.

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995

Total revenue increased by $23.3 million, or 63.5%, to $60.0 million for
1996 from $36.7 million for 1995. The increase in total revenue was primarily
attributable to the inclusion of the 209 stores purchased in 1995, and the 1996
Acquisitions. Total revenue exclusive of the Magic Acquisition, and the 1996
Acquisitions increased by $2.3 million or 7.4% to $33.5 million for 1996 from
$31.2 million in 1995. Same store revenue for the quarter ended September 30,
1996 increased $1,763,000 or 5.7%, over the comparable quarter. Notwithstanding
same store revenue growth for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the
Company's existing operations were adversely affected by inclement weather due
to tropical storms in September on both the East Coast and in Puerto Rico.
Additionally, during 1996 the Company relocated managers and regional managers
from stores acquired prior to 1995 to stores acquired in 1995. As a result, same
store revenue during the quarter ended September 30, 1996 for stores acquired
prior to 1995 increased 1%, while same store revenue for the April 1995 (72
store) acquisition increased 18%.

Depreciation of rental merchandise increased by $2.4 million, or 29.6%, to
$10.5 million for 1996 from $8.1 million for 1995. Depreciation of rental
merchandise expressed as a percent of rental revenue decreased to 21.4% in 1996
from 23.1% in 1995. The decrease was primarily attributable to higher rental
rates on rental merchandise.

Salaries and other expenses expressed as a percentage of total store
revenue increased to 56.6% for 1996 from 53.6% for the comparative 1995 quarter.
This increase is attributable to increase in salaries for employees of acquired
stores immediately following the acquisitions while store revenues have
increased gradually. Additionally, the Company increased its advertising efforts
during the quarter ended September 30, 1996 in the markets related to the 1995
and 1996 Acquisitions. Occupancy costs also increased as a percent of total
revenue primarily because of the relocation of certain stores acquired in the
1995 acquisitions to stores that are larger in square footage. Revenues from
these larger stores increase gradually while the additional costs are incurred
immediately. The average relocated store is approximately 4,000 square feet.
General and administrative expenses expressed as a percent of total revenue
decreased to 3.7% for 1996 from 4.4% for 1995. The decrease is primarily
attributable to increased economies of scale resulting from the 1995 and 1996
Acquisitions.

Operating profit increased by $2.6 million, or 48.1%, to $8.0 million for
1996 from $5.4 million for 1995. This improvement was primarily attributable to
an increase in both the number of items on rent and in revenue earned per item
on rent, both in stores acquired before 1995 and in stores acquired in the 1995
Acquisitions.

Net earnings increased by $1.8 million, or 62.0%, to $4.7 million in 1996
from $2.9 million in 1995. The improvement was a result of the increase in
operating profit described above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's primary requirements for capital are the acquisition of
existing stores, the opening of new stores, the purchase of additional rental
merchandise and the replacement of rental merchandise which has been sold or
charged-off or is no longer suitable for rent. During the year ended December
31, 1995, the Company
9

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued

acquired 209 stores for an aggregate purchase price of $59 million, of which
$21.7 million was paid in cash. During the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
the Company acquired an additional seventeen stores and ColorTyme for a net cash
purchase price of $7.9 million. The Company purchased $50.2 million and $24.7
million of rental merchandise during the nine month periods ended September 30,
1996 and 1995, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, cash provided by operating
activities increased by $6.3 million to $13.5 million in 1996 from $7.2 million
in 1995, primarily due to increased earnings, timing of the payment of various
operating expenses offset by increased rental merchandise purchases. Cash used
in investing activities decreased by $9.8 million to $13.6 million in 1996 from
$23.4 in 1995, primarily relating to the 1995 Acquisitions. Cash used in
financing activities was $25.6 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1996, which relates primarily to repayment of debt to the Magic selling
shareholders which was paid in full on January 2, 1996, offset by the net
proceeds of the sale of the ColorTyme franchise loan portfolio. Cash provided by
financing activities was $14.9 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1995, which relates primarily to the proceeds from the initial public offering
in January 1995 offset by repayment of the note to a stockholder.

The Company increased its credit agreement with its current lender from
$25 million to $40 million in the first quarter of 1996. This agreement consists
of a $10 million revolving credit facility and a $30 million term loan facility.
Borrowings under the term loan facility bear interest at a rate equal to the
National prime rate as published in the WALL STREET JOURNAL (8 1/4% per annum at
September 30, 1996) and borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear
interest at such designated prime rate, in each case as adjusted monthly. All
borrowings are secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company's assets.
Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are due on April 30, 1997. Any
term loan borrowings will be funded in individual notes amortized over five-year
periods payable in equal monthly installments (including interest). The
commitment on the term facility expires April 30, 1997, and bears no commitment
fee. The credit agreement includes certain cash flow and net worth requirements,
as well as covenants which limit the ability of the Company to incur additional
indebtedness, grant liens, transfer assets out of the ordinary course of
business or engage in merger transactions. On September 30, 1996, there were no
outstanding borrowings under either of these facilities.

In connection with the stores acquired in 1993, monthly payments of
$33,333 are due under a consulting agreement through April 1, 2001, and monthly
payments of $125,000 are due under a non-competition agreement from February
1996 through January 1998. If the settlement agreement described under the
caption "Part II. Item 1. Legal Proceedings - IN RE: DEF INVESTMENTS, INC." is
executed, the Company will be released from its obligation to make payments
under such consulting and non-competition agreements, in exchange for a cash
payment of $4.75 million (the "Settlement Amount"). Although management cannot
at this time estimate when it will be required to pay the Settlement Amount, if
ever, management believes that the Company's borrowing capacity under its credit
facility and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund the payment.

In connection with the Crown Acquisition, monthly payments of $16,667 were
due under a consulting agreement through October 1996, and in connection with
the Magic Acquisition, monthly payments in the aggregate amount of $32,500 are
due under certain noncompetition agreements through August 2000.

The Company intends to increase the number of stores it operates through
acquisitions and new store openings. In particular, the Company's goal is to
increase the number of stores it operates by approximately 50-60 stores in each
of the next few years. The Company currently expects to open six to ten new
stores during the last quarter of 1996. The Company estimates that the average
investment with respect to new stores is approximately $350,000 per store, of
which rental merchandise comprises approximately 75% to 80% of the investment.
The
10

remaining investment consists of leasehold improvements, delivery trucks, store
signs, computer equipment and start-up costs. There can be no assurance that the
Company will open any new stores in the future, or as to the number, location or
profitability thereof. Additionally, management believes that there are
currently a number of possible future acquisition opportunities in the
rent-to-own industry, and it is possible that any acquisition could be material
to the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
acquire any additional stores, or that any stores that are acquired will be or
will become profitable.

Management believes that cash flow from operations and the previously
described credit facilities will be adequate to fund the operations and
expansion plans of the Company during 1996. In addition, to provide any
additional funds necessary for the continued pursuit of the Company's growth
strategies, the Company may incur, from time to time, additional short-term and
long-term bank indebtedness and may issue, in public or private transactions,
its equity and debt securities. The availability and attractiveness of any
outside sources of financing will depend on a number of factors, some of which
will relate to the financial condition and performance of the Company, and some
of which will be beyond the Company's control such as prevailing interest rates
and general economic conditions. There can be no assurance that such additional
financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the
Company.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

From time to time the Company is a party to various legal proceedings
arising in the ordinary course of its business. Except as described below, the
Company is not currently a party to any material litigation.

IN RE: DEF INVESTMENTS, INC.

On September 5, 1995, a complaint (the "Complaint") was filed in the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Minnesota (the "Bankruptcy
Court") against Mr. and Mrs. Robert A. Hardesty (the "Hardestys") and the
Company, among others (collectively, the "Defendants"). The complaint was filed
by the trustee (the "Trustee") for DEF Investments, Inc. ("DEF"), in an
involuntary chapter 7 bankruptcy case against DEF (the "DEF Bankruptcy Case")
commenced on April 20, 1995 by the plaintiffs in a pending class action suit
against DEF and other companies including, at this point, the Company (the
"Miller lawsuit").

The Complaint seeks (i) to avoid the transfer of certain assets purchased
in 1993 by a predecessor of the Company from DEF and certain of its subsidiaries
and to obtain an order that such assets be turned over to the Trustee, (ii) to
nullify the Hardestys' consulting and noncompetition agreements, pursuant to the
terms of which the Company paid $2.0 million to the Hardestys on the closing
date of the 1993 acquisition, has paid them an additional $900,000 since the
closing date and is obligated to pay them approximately $5.3 million in varying
amounts through April 1, 2001, (iii) to require the Company to make all future
payments under the consulting and noncompetition agreements to the Trustee for
the benefit of the DEF bankruptcy estate, and (iv) to set aside all payments
already made by the Company to the Hardestys under the consulting and
noncompetition agreements, and to grant judgment against the Hardestys for the
amount of all such payments.

On March 8, 1996, the Company reached an agreement with the Trustee and
the Hardestys to settle the bankruptcy lawsuit (the "Bankruptcy Settlement").
The terms of the Bankruptcy Settlement provide that the Company will be released
from the fraudulent transfer claim and the future obligation to pay $5.3 million
under the consulting and noncompetition agreements with the Hardestys in
exchange for a cash payment of $4.75 million to the Trustee. The Bankruptcy
Settlement, which, as of November 7, 1996, has not yet been reduced to writing
and is subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court after notice and hearing,
contemplates the nonrefundable payment by the Company of $50,000 upon execution
of the written settlement agreement in exchange for the Trustee's dismissal of
the Complaint against the Company without prejudice. As to the balance of the
settlement amount, $300,000 is attributable to the Trustee's claims against the
Company based upon payments already made to the Hardestys, and $4.4 million is
attributable to future obligations under the noncompetition and consulting
agreements.

As a part of the overall Bankruptcy Settlement, the Company will receive a
full release from the fraudulent transfer claim by the Trustee on behalf of DEF,
all of its subsidiaries which have filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases and their
respective creditors. The Bankruptcy Settlement is also conditioned on the
Bankruptcy Court issuing protective orders enjoining the Hardestys from making
any claims against the Company or J. E. Talley and certain of their affiliates
under the noncompetition and consulting agreements.

The Miller lawsuit will not be dismissed entirely under the Bankruptcy
Settlement. While the claims against the Hardestys will be dismissed, the claims
against the Company will not be. Nevertheless, the plaintiffs agreed to first
pursue collection of any judgment obtained against the Company through
enforcement of the indemnity agreement between the Company and Transamerica
Commercial Finance Corporation, Inc. ("Transamerica"). The plaintiff class
further agreed that it cannot collect or enforce any judgment obtained against
the Company in the Miller lawsuit until it has exhausted collection through the
indemnity agreement. In September 1996, Transamerica and the plaintiff class
reached an agreement to settle all claims against the Company in the Miller
lawsuit. The terms of the settlement between the plaintiff and Transamerica are
subject to approval of the Bankruptcy Court and the state court after notice and
hearing.
12
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
RENTERS CHOICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY - Continued


Finally, the Bankruptcy Settlement calls for the plaintiff class to release and
covenant not to assert any claims it may have against the Company except those
contained in its current pleading in the Miller lawsuit.

Management believes that the execution of the Bankruptcy Settlement, in
the form in which it is currently proposed, will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's results of operations. Management cannot predict when
the Bankruptcy Settlement will be executed and approved by the Bankruptcy Court,
and there can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Settlement will be entered
into at all. If the Bankruptcy Settlement is not executed, the Trustee would be
able to proceed against the Company in the fraudulent transfer claim.

HINTON ET AL. V. COLORTYME, INC.

In May 1994, certain Wisconsin residents filed suit against ColorTyme
alleging that ColorTyme had entered into contracts with them which were
violative of the Wisconsin Consumer Act (the "Wisconsin Act"). Specifically, the
plaintiffs allege that the ColorTyme contracts were consumer credit transactions
under the Wisconsin Act, and that ColorTyme failed to provide required
disclosures and violated the Wisconsin Act's collection practice restrictions.
Plaintiffs are seeking damages in excess of $2.0 million.

In light of the Merger and the Company's later purchase of the assets of
four Milwaukee ColorTyme stores, the plaintiffs were granted leave to add the
Company as a defendant along with additional related substantive claims.
Currently, the parties have filed cross motions in an attempt to define the
class. In those motions, it has become clear that the plaintiffs have included
the Company as a defendant in this lawsuit to the extent that the Company
assumed the obligations of certain existing ColorTyme contracts through the
asset purchase regarding the Milwaukee stores. Nevertheless, there is still a
possibility that the plaintiffs may attempt to pursue the Company solely due to
its parent subsidiary relationship with ColorTyme.

The Company and ColorTyme have recently moved to dismiss the non-Wisconsin
Act claims in the lawsuit. Discovery continues and no trial date has been set.

Although management cannot predict the outcome of the case, management
does not expect the ultimate resolution of the case to have a material adverse
effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations.
