Additional Information: Aaron Rents wishes to point out that the preliminary
prospectus contains a typographical error on page 6 in the risk factors. Aaron
Rents estimates that start-up expenses for new stores, referred to as new store
drag, reduced net earnings, rather than pre-tax earnings, by $8.0 million, or
$0.16 per diluted share, during 2005.
