     ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

     GENERAL

     Central Parking Corporation ("Central Parking" or the "Company") is a
leading provider of parking services operating, as of September 30, 1999, 4,810
parking facilities containing approximately 1,635,000 spaces in 42 states, the
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Canada, the United Kingdom, the Republic of
Ireland, Spain, Germany, Poland, Mexico, and Chile.

     Central Parking provides parking management services at multi-level parking
facilities and surface lots. It also provides parking consulting, shuttle,
valet, parking meter enforcement, and billing and collection services. Central
Parking operates parking facilities under three general types of arrangements:
management contracts, leases, and fee ownership. As of September 30, 1999,
Central Parking operated 2,096 parking facilities under management contracts and
2,455 parking facilities under leases, and 259 facilities owned either
independently or through joint ventures.

     INDUSTRY

     The International Parking Institute, a non-profit parking industry
organization, has estimated that there are 35,000 parking facilities in the
United States operated by commercial and governmental entities. The commercial
parking services business is very fragmented, consisting of a few national
companies and approximately 1,000 small privately held local and regional
operators. Central Parking believes that it has the opportunity to consolidate
portions of this fragmented, localized industry by using its competitive
advantage with regard to scale, financial strength, technology, controls, and
professionalism, all of which are becoming increasingly important in the parking
services business. For the same reasons, Central Parking believes that it is
well positioned to be selected by municipal and other governmental entities to
operate their parking facilities and provide parking-related services as such
entities move toward outsourcing and privatization.

     During the 1980's, the high level of construction activity in the United
States resulted in a significant increase in the number of parking facilities.
Since that time, as construction activity has slowed, much of the growth of
certain parking service companies, including Central Parking, has been as a
result of take-aways from other parking companies. New construction and
acquisition of additional facilities are essential to growth for parking service
companies because of the limitations on growth in revenues of existing
operations. Although some growth in revenues from existing operations is
possible through redesign, increased operational efficiency, or increased
facility use and prices, such growth is ultimately limited by the size of a
facility and market conditions.

     Management believes that most commercial real estate developers and
property owners view services such as parking as potential profit centers rather
than cost centers. These parties outsource parking operations to parking
management companies in an effort to maximize profits or leverage the original
rental value to a third-party lender. Parking management companies can increase
profits by using managerial skills and experience, operating systems, and
operating controls unique to the parking industry.

     Privatization of government operations and facilities could provide new
opportunities for the parking industry. The International Parking Institute has
estimated that more than 50% of the revenues generated by the United States
parking industry is generated by facilities operated by municipalities and other
governmental entities. Cities and municipal authorities may consider retaining
private firms to operate facilities and parking-related services in an effort to
reduce operating budgets and increase efficiency. Privatization in the United
Kingdom already has provided significant expansion opportunities for private
parking companies. In the United States, several cities have awarded or are
considering awarding on-street parking enforcement and parking meter service
contracts to for-profit parking companies such as Central Parking. For example,
Central Parking has been awarded contracts for parking meter collection and
enforcement in Charlotte, Richmond, and Fort Myers.

     GROWTH STRATEGY

     Central Parking plans to continue to add facilities to its operations by
focusing its marketing efforts on adding facilities at the local level,
targeting real estate managers and developers with a national presence, pursuing
strategic acquisitions of other parking service operators, and expanding its
international operations. Set forth below are the key elements of Central
Parking's growth strategy.

     Increase Market Presence. Central Parking continually seeks to establish
and increase its operations in new and existing markets through take-aways of
competitors' contracts, obtaining new management and lease contracts, entering
into joint venture arrangements, and purchases of parking facilities. Through
emphasizing marketing at the local level and establishing relationships with
large-scale national asset managers and developers, Central Parking expects to
continue to expand its base of operations. Management believes that Central
Parking's relative size, financial strength and systems, and automation
capabilities give it a competitive advantage in winning new business and make it
an attractive partner for joint venture and other opportunities. In addition,
Central Parking believes that its unique performance-based compensation system,
which is designed to reward managers for increasing the profitability of their
respective area of responsibility, has been a key contributor to Central
Parking's growth.

     Pursue Strategic Acquisitions. Central Parking intends to continue to
pursue acquisition opportunities. Central Parking believes that many of its
smaller competitors have limited access to capital or do not have the systems or
economies of scale to compete effectively. Central Parking's acquisition
strategy is to focus on opportunities that enable Central Parking to (i) become
a stronger, more efficient provider in selected markets, (ii) generate
significant economies of scale and cost savings, and (iii) increase cash flow.
Cost savings typically result from the elimination of duplicative management
functions as well as from efficiencies resulting from implementing Central
Parking's systems and professional management techniques and development.

     Expand International Operations. Management believes that there are
significant international growth opportunities, particularly for
well-capitalized companies that are interested in making significant investments
in equipment and construction, either independently or with foreign partners.
Central Parking typically enters foreign markets either through consulting
projects or by forming joint ventures with established local entities, both of
which allow Central Parking to enter foreign markets with reduced operating and
investment risk. Since 1991, Central Parking has established operations in the
United Kingdom, Germany, Poland, Canada, Mexico, Spain, Chile, and the Republic
of Ireland. Central Parking believes there are significant expansion
opportunities in these countries as well as other countries.

     OPERATING STRATEGY

     Central Parking's primary objective is to increase the revenues and
profitability of its parking facilities through a variety of operating
strategies, including the following:

     Maintain Strict Cost Management and Cash Control. In order to provide
competitively priced services, the Company must contain costs. Managers are
trained to analyze staffing and cost control issues, and each facility is
carefully tracked on a monthly basis to determine whether financial results are
within budgeted ranges. Because of the substantial performance-based components
of their compensation, managers are continuously motivated to contain the costs
of their operations. Strict cash control also is critical to Central Parking and
its clients. Central Parking's cash control procedures are based on a ticketing
system supervised by high level managers and include on-site spot checks,
multiple daily cash deposits, local audit functions, managerial oversight and
review, and internal audit procedures. It is Central Parking policy that all
tickets and gate counts are reconciled daily against cash collected.

     Emphasize Sales and Marketing Efforts. Central Parking's management is
actively involved in developing and maintaining business relationships and in
exploring opportunities for growth. A cornerstone of Central Parking's culture
is its incentive compensation system, which rewards managers who are able to
develop new business. Central Parking's marketing efforts are designed to expand
its operations by developing lasting relationships with major real estate
developers and asset managers, business and government leaders, and other
clients. Central Parking encourages its managers to pursue new opportunities at
the local level while simultaneously selectively targeting key clients and
projects at a national level.

                                       4
<PAGE>   5
     Leverage Established Market Presence and Corporate Infrastructure. Central
Parking has an established presence in multiple markets, representing platforms
from which it can build. Because of the relatively fixed nature of corporate
overhead and the resources that can be shared in specific markets, Central
Parking has the opportunity to expand its profit margins as it grows its
presence in established markets. General and administrative expenses, excluding
goodwill amortization, as a percentage of total revenues were 10.9%, 10.6%, and
10.5% in fiscal 1997, 1998, and 1999, respectively.

     Empower Local Managers; Provide Corporate Support. Central Parking has
achieved what management believes is a successful balance between centralized
and decentralized management. Because its business is dependent, to some extent,
on personal relationships, Central Parking provides its managers with a
significant degree of autonomy in order to encourage prompt and effective
responses to local market demands. In conjunction with this local operational
authority, the Company provides, through its corporate office, services that
typically are not readily available to independent operators such as management
support, marketing and business expertise, training, and financial and
information systems. Central Parking retains centralized control over those
functions necessary to monitor service quality and cash control integrity and to
maximize operational efficiency. Services performed at the corporate level
include billing, quality improvement oversight, financial and accounting
functions, legal services, policy and procedure development, systems design, and
corporate acquisitions and development.

     Utilize Performance-Based Compensation. Central Parking's performance-based
compensation system rewards managers at the general manager level and above for
the profitability of their respective areas of responsibility. Each person
participating in the incentive program generally receives a substantial portion
of his or her compensation from this performance-based compensation system.
Incentive compensation payments typically range from 20% to 80% of total
compensation.

     Maintain Well-Defined Professional Management Organization. In order to
ensure professionalism and consistency in Central Parking's operations, to
provide a career path opportunity for its managers, and to achieve a balance
between autonomy and accountability, Central Parking has established a highly
structured management organization. Organized into six levels, Central Parking
has a total of 779 managers and hires approximately 90 per year.

     Central Parking recruits primarily college graduates or people with
previous parking services or hospitality industry experience, and requires that
they complete a formal training program. Management believes that Central
Parking's training program is a significant factor in Central Parking's success.
New managers are assigned to a particular facility where they are supervised as
they manage one to five employees. The management trainee program lasts
approximately one year and teaches a wide variety of skills, including
organizational skills, basic management techniques, and basic accounting. Upon
successful completion of this stage of the program, management trainees are
promoted to facility manager in charge of a particular parking facility. As
facility managers, they report up through the hierarchical structure of
managers. As managers develop and gain experience, they have the opportunity to
assume expanded responsibility, to be promoted to higher management levels and
to increase the performance-based component of their compensation. This
well-defined structure provides a career path that is designed to be an
attractive opportunity for prospective new hires. In addition, management
believes the well-planned training and advancement program has enabled Central
Parking to instill a high level of professionalism in its employees. A final
important benefit of Central Parking's organizational structure is that it has
allowed Central Parking to balance localized autonomy with accountability and
centralized support and control.

     Automate Facilities. Management believes that the Company's application of
sophisticated technology to its operations represents a competitive advantage
over smaller operators with more limited resources. Central Parking has
implemented computerized card tracking and accounting systems in certain of its
facilities and is experimenting with a variety of automated settlement systems.
Central Parking expects that these technology initiatives will enhance revenue
by increasing the efficiency and accuracy of payment collections, reduce labor
costs, and minimize lost revenue at parking facilities.

     Strategically Expand Service Offerings. Central Parking provides services
that are complementary to parking facility management, with a particular
emphasis on consulting services. Other ancillary services include parking meter
enforcement services, on-street parking services, car pooling coordination,
shuttle van services, and

                                       5
<PAGE>   6
transportation management. These ancillary services do not constitute a
significant portion of Central Parking's revenues, but management believes that
the provision of ancillary services can be important in obtaining new business
and preparing the Company for future changes in the parking industry.

     Focus on Retention of Patrons. In order for the Company to succeed, its
parking patrons must have a positive experience at Company facilities.
Accordingly, the Company stresses the importance of having well lighted, clean
facilities and cordial employees. Each facility manager has primary
responsibility for the environment at the facility, and is evaluated on his or
her ability to retain parking patrons. The Company also monitors customer
satisfaction through customer surveys and "mystery parker" programs.

     Maintain Disciplined Facility Site Selection Analysis. In existing markets,
the facility site selection process begins with identification of a possible
facility site and the analysis of projected revenues and costs at the site by
general managers and regional managers. The managers then conduct an examination
of a location's potential demand based on traffic patterns and counts, area
demographics, and potential competitors. Pro forma financial statements are then
developed and a Company representative will meet with the property owner to
discuss the terms and structure of the agreement.

     The Company seeks to distinguish itself from its competitors by combining a
reputation for professional integrity and quality management with operating
strategies designed to increase the revenues of parking operations for its
clients. The Company's clients include some of the nation's largest owners and
developers of mixed-use projects, major office building complexes, sports
stadiums, hotels, and toll roads. Parking facilities operated by the Company
include, among others, certain terminals operated by BAA Heathrow International
Airport (London), the Prudential Center (Boston), Cinergy Field (Cincinnati),
Turner Field (Atlanta), Coors Field (Denver), and various parking facilities
owned by the Hyatt and Westin hotel chains, the Rouse Company, Faison
Associates, May Department Stores, Equity Office Properties, TrizechHahn, Jones
Lang LaSalle, Simon Property Group, and Crescent Real Estate. None of these
clients account for more than 5% of the Company's total revenues.

     MERGER WITH ALLRIGHT

         On March 19, 1999, the Company completed a merger with Allright
Holdings, Inc. ("Allright"), one of the largest parking services companies in
the United States with revenues of approximately $217.2 million for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1998. As of September 30, 1998, Allright operated
approximately 2,315 facilities containing approximately 550,000 parking spaces,
including 72 facilities in Canada containing approximately 30,000 parking
spaces. Allright's facilities are located in over one hundred cities across the
United States and Canada, including facilities in thirty-three states, the
District of Columbia, and two Canadian provinces. As of September 30, 1998,
Allright, directly or indirectly, owned 195 facilities, leased 1,473 facilities,
and operated 647 facilities through management contracts.

     Under the merger, approximately 7.0 million shares of Company common stock,
and approximately 0.5 million options and warrants to purchase such Company
common stock were exchanged for all of the outstanding shares of common stock
and options and warrants to purchase common stock of Allright. Each outstanding
share of Allright common stock and each outstanding option or warrant to
purchase such common stock was exchanged for 87.637 shares of Central Parking
common stock.

         The transaction constituted a tax-free reorganization and has been
accounted for as a pooling-of-interests under Accounting Principles Board
("APB") Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations." Accordingly, prior period
financial statements presented have been restated to include the combined
results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Allright as if it
had been part of Central Parking from the date of Allright's inception, October
31, 1996. See note 2 to the Company's consolidated financial statements and
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 1999 for additional information regarding the merger with
Allright.

         In connection with the Allright merger, the Antitrust Division of the
United States Department of Justice (the "Antitrust Division") filed a complaint
in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia seeking to enjoin the merger
on antitrust grounds. Central Parking and Allright entered into a settlement
agreement with the Antitrust Division on March 16, 1999, under which Central and
Allright agreed to divest a total of 74 parking facilities in 18

                                       6
<PAGE>   7
cities, representing approximately 18,000 parking spaces. Under the settlement
agreement, the terms of the divestitures are subject to approval by the
Antitrust Division, and the Company is required to divest the facilities within
five days after the court enters a final judgment relating to the settlement
agreement. As of December 23, 1999, the court had not yet entered a final
judgement relating to the settlement agreement. Substantially all of the
facilities had been divested or were under contract to be divested as of such
date. The settlement agreement also provides that Central and Allright may not
operate any of the divested facilities for a period of two years following the
divestiture.

     ACQUISITIONS

     The Company's acquisition strategy focuses primarily on acquisitions that
will enable Central Parking to become a more efficient and cost-effective
provider in selected markets. Central Parking believes it can recognize
economies of scale by making acquisitions in markets where the Company already
has a presence, which allows Central Parking to reduce the overhead cost of the
acquired company by consolidating its management with that of Central Parking.
In addition, Central Parking seeks acquisitions in attractive new markets.
Management believes acquisitions are an effective means of entering new markets,
thereby quickly obtaining both operating presence and management personnel.
Central Parking also believes it generally can improve acquired operations by
applying its operating strategies and professional management techniques. The
Company's acquisitions over the last two years, all of which were accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting, are as follows: Diplomat Parking
Corporation ("Diplomat") in October 1997; National Garages, Inc. ("National") in
December 1997; Kinney System Holding Corp. ("Kinney") in February 1998; Central
Parking System of Louisiana, Inc. ("CPS - Louisiana") in March 1998; Turner
Parking System, Inc. ("Turner") in April 1998; Sterling Parking, Inc.
("Sterling") in July 1998; Allied Parking ("Allied") in October 1998, November
1998 and April 1999; and Sacramento Parking Group in July 1999. For additional
information regarding recent acquisitions, please see the Management Discussion
and Analysis section of the annual report incorporated herein by reference on
page 33.

     SALES AND MARKETING

     Central Parking's sales and marketing efforts are designed to expand its
operations by developing and maintaining relationships with major real estate
developers and asset managers, business and government leaders, and other
clients. Central Parking encourages its managers to pursue new opportunities at
the local level while simultaneously selectively targeting key clients and
projects at a national level.

     Local. At the local level, Central Parking's sales and marketing efforts
are decentralized and directed towards identifying new expansion opportunities
within a particular city or region. Managers are trained to develop the business
contacts necessary to generate new opportunities and to monitor their local
markets for take-away and outsourcing opportunities. Central Parking provides
its managers with a significant degree of autonomy in order to encourage prompt
and effective responses to local market demands, which is complemented by
management support and marketing training through Central Parking's corporate
offices. In addition, a manager's compensation is dependent, in part, upon his
or her success in developing new business. By developing business contacts
locally, Central Parking's managers often get the opportunity to bid on projects
when asset managers and property owners are dissatisfied with current operations
and also learn in advance of possible new projects.

     National. At the national level, Central Parking's marketing efforts are
undertaken primarily by upper-level management, which targets developers,
governmental entities, the hospitality industry, mixed-use projects, and medical
facilities. These efforts are directed at operations that generally have
national name recognition, substantial demand for parking related services, and
the potential for nationwide growth. For example, Central Parking's current
clients include, among other national real estate companies and hotel chains,
the Rouse Company, Faison Associates, Equity Office Properties, May Department
Stores, Crescent Real Estate, TrizecHahn, Jones Lang LaSalle, Westin Hotels, and
Hyatt Hotels. Management believes that providing high-quality, efficient
services to such companies will lead to additional opportunities as those
clients continue to expand their operations. Management believes outsourcing by
parking facility owners will continue to be a source for additional facilities,
and management believes the Company's global presecse, experience and reputation
with large real estate asset managers give it a competitive advantage in this
area.

     INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION

     Central Parking's international operations began in the early 1990's with
the formation of an international division. The Company typically enters foreign
markets either through consulting projects or by forming joint ventures with
established local entities. Consulting projects allow Central Parking to
establish a presence and evaluate the prospects for growth of a given market
without investing a significant amount of capital. Likewise, forming joint
ventures with local partners allows Central Parking to enter new foreign markets
with reduced operating and investment risks.

     Operations in London began in 1991 with a single consulting agreement and
since then have grown to 224 facilities in the United Kingdom including two
terminals at Heathrow International Airport and parking meter enforcement and
ticketing services for six local governments that have privatized these
services. Central Parking began expansion into Mexico in July 1994 by forming a
joint venture with Fondo Opcion, an established Mexican developer, and now
operates 87 facilities in Mexico. Central Parking also operates 81 facilities in
Canada, three facilities in Spain, one in Poland (opened November 1999) and
three in Chile. The Company also operates on-street parking services in the
United Kingdom, Germany and the Republic of Ireland. In 1996, Central Parking
acquired a 50% equity interest in a joint venture, which presently operates
twelve facilities in Germany. In order to manage its international expansion,
the Company has allocated responsibilities for international operations to an
executive vice president.

     OPERATING ARRANGEMENTS

    Central Parking operates parking facilities under three general types of
arrangements: management contracts, leases, and fee ownership. As of September
30, 1999, Central Parking operated 2,096 parking facilities through management
contracts, leased 2,455 parking facilities, and owned 259 parking facilities,
either independently or in joint venture with third parties. The following table
sets forth certain information regarding the number of managed, leased, or owned
facilities as of the specified dates:

</TABLE>

     The general terms and benefits of these types of arrangements are discussed
as follows:

     Management Contracts. Management contract revenues consist of management
fees (both fixed and percentage of revenues) and fees for ancillary services
such as insurance, accounting, equipment leasing, and consulting. The cost of
management contracts includes insurance premiums and claims and other indirect
overhead. The Company's responsibilities under a management contract as a
facility manager include hiring, training, and staffing parking personnel, and
providing collections, accounting, record keeping, insurance, and facility
marketing services. In general, Central Parking is not responsible under its
management contracts for structural, mechanical, or electrical maintenance or
repairs, or for providing security or guard services or for paying property
taxes. In general, management contracts are for terms of one to three years and
are renewable for successive one-year terms, but are cancelable by the property
owner on short notice. Although management contracts typically are for
relatively short terms, the Company's renewal rates for each of the past five
fiscal years were in excess of 90%. With respect to insurance, the Company's
clients have the option of obtaining insurance on their own or having Central
Parking provide insurance as part of the services provided under the management
contract. Because of the Company's size and claims experience, management
believes it can purchase such insurance at lower rates than the Company's
clients can generally obtain on their own. Accordingly, Central Parking
historically has generated profits on the insurance provided under its
management contracts. See "--Insurance."

     Leases. The Company's rent under leases is generally a fixed annual amount,
a percentage of gross revenues, or a combination thereof. Leased facilities
generally require a longer commitment and a larger capital investment by Central
Parking than managed facilities but generally provide a more stable source of
revenue and a greater opportunity for long-term revenue growth. The cost of
parking includes rent, payroll and related benefits,

                                       8

depreciation, maintenance, insurance, and general operating expenses. Under its
leases, the Company is typically responsible for all facets of the parking
operations, including pricing, utilities, and ordinary and routine maintenance,
but is generally not responsible for structural, mechanical, or electrical
maintenance or repairs, or property taxes. Lease arrangements are typically for
terms of three to ten years, with a renewal term, and provide for a
contractually established payment to the facility owner regardless of the
operating earnings of the parking facility.


     Fee Ownership. Ownership of parking facilities, either independently or
through joint ventures, typically requires a larger capital investment than
managed or leased facilities but provides maximum control over the operation of
the parking facility and the greatest profit potential of the three types of
operating arrangements. All changes in owned facility revenue flow directly to
the Company, and the Company has the potential to realize benefits of
appreciation in the value of the underlying real estate if the property is sold.
The ownership of a parking facility brings the Company complete responsibility
for all aspects of the property, including all structural, mechanical, or
electrical maintenance or repairs.

     Joint Ventures. The Company seeks joint venture partners who are
established local or regional developers pursuing financing alternatives for
development projects. Joint ventures typically involve a development where the
parking facility is a part of a larger multi-use project, allowing the Company's
joint venture partners to benefit from a capital infusion to the project. Joint
ventures offer the revenue growth potential of ownership with a partial
reduction in capital requirements. The Company has interests in joint ventures
that own or operate parking facilities located throughout the United States as
well as Mexico, Germany, Spain, and Chile.

     MBE Partnerships. Central Parking is a party to a number of minority
business enterprise partnerships. These are generally partnerships formed by
Central Parking and a minority businessperson to manage a facility. Central
Parking generally owns 60% to 70% of the partnership interests in each
partnership and typically receives management fees before partnership
distributions are made to the partners.

     COMPETITION

     The parking industry is fragmented and highly competitive. The Company
faces direct competition for additional facilities to manage, lease, or own and
the facilities currently operated by the Company face competition for employees
and customers. The Company competes with a variety of other companies to add new
operations. Although there are relatively few large, national parking companies
that compete with the Company, developers, hotel companies, and national
financial services companies have the potential to compete with parking
companies. Municipalities and other governmental entities also operate parking
facilities which compete with Central Parking. The Company also faces
competition from regional and local parking companies and from owner-operators
of facilities who are potential clients for the Company's management services.
Construction of new parking facilities near the Company's existing leased or
managed facilities could adversely affect the Company's business.

     Management believes that it competes for clients based on rates charged for
services; ability to generate revenues and control expenses for clients; ability
to anticipate and respond to industry changes; range and quality of services;
and ability to expand operations. The Company believes it has a reputation as a
leader in the industry and as a provider of high quality services. The Company
also is one of the largest companies in the parking industry and is not limited
to a single geographic region. The Company has the financial strength to make
capital investments as an owner or joint venture partner that smaller or more
leveraged companies cannot make. The Company's size also has allowed it to
centralize administrative functions that give the decentralized managerial
operations cost-efficient support. Moreover, the Company has obtained broad
experience in managing and operating a wide variety of facilities over the past
30 years. Additionally, the Company is able to attract and retain quality
managers through its incentive compensation system that directly rewards
successful sales and marketing efforts and places a premium on profitable
growth.

     INSURANCE

     The Company purchases comprehensive liability insurance covering certain
claims that occur at parking facilities it owns, leases or manages. The primary
amount of such coverage is $1 million per occurrence and $1 million in the
aggregate per facility. In addition, the Company purchases umbrella/excess
liability coverage. The Company also purchases group health insurance with
respect to all full-time Company employees, whether such persons are employed at

                                       9
<PAGE>   10
owned, leased, or managed facilities. The Company's various insurance policies
have deductibles that must be met before the insurance companies are required to
reimburse the Company for costs and liabilities relating to covered claims.
Because of the size of the operations covered, the Company purchases these
policies at prices that, management believes, represent a discount to the prices
that would be charged to parking facility owners on a stand-alone basis.
Pursuant to its management contracts, the Company charges its customers for
insurance at rates it believes approximate market rates based upon its review of
the applicable market. In each case, the Company's clients have the option of
purchasing their own policies, provided the Company is named as an additional
insured; however, because the Company's fees for insurance are generally
competitive with market rates, many of the Company's clients have chosen
historically to purchase such insurance through the Company. A reduction in the
number of clients that purchase insurance through the Company, however, could
have a material adverse effect on the operating earnings of the Company. In
addition, a material increase in insurance costs due to increased claims
experienced by the Company could adversely affect the profit associated with
insurance charges pursuant to management contracts and could have a material
adverse effect on the operating earnings of the Company.

REGULATION

     The Company's business is subject to various federal, state and local laws
and regulations, and both municipal and state authorities sometimes directly
regulate parking facilities. The facilities in New York City are, for example,
subject to certain governmental restrictions concerning numbers of cars,
pricing, and certain prohibited practices. The Company is also affected by laws
and regulations (such as zoning ordinances) that are common to any business that
owns real estate and by regulations (such as labor and tax laws) that affect
companies with a large number of employees. In addition, several state and local
laws have been passed in recent years that encourage car-pooling and the use of
mass transit, including, for example, a Los Angeles, California law prohibiting
employers from reimbursing employee-parking expenses. Laws and regulations that
reduce the number of cars and vehicles being driven could adversely impact the
Company's business.

     Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and
regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be
liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances
on, under or in such property. Such laws typically impose liability without
regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the
presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. In connection with the ownership
or operation of parking facilities, the Company may be potentially liable for
any such costs. Although Central Parking is currently not aware of any material
environmental claims pending or threatened against it, there can be no assurance
that a material environmental claim will not be asserted against the Company.
The cost of defending against claims of liability, or of remediating a
contaminated property, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition or results of operations.

     The Company also is subject to various federal and state antitrust and
consumer laws and regulations including the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976, which requires filings in connection with certain
mergers and acquisitions. In connection with the Allright merger, Central and
Allright entered into a settlement agreement with the Antitrust Division of the
U.S. Department of Justice which required, among other things, the divestiture
of certain parking facilities. See "Merger With Allright."

     Various other governmental regulations affect the Company's operation of
parking facilities, both directly and indirectly, including the Americans with
Disabilities Act ("ADA"). Under the ADA, all public accommodations, including
parking facilities, are required to meet certain federal requirements related to
access and use by disabled persons. For example, the ADA requires parking
facilities to include handicapped spaces, headroom for wheelchair vans,
attendants' booths that accommodate wheelchairs, and elevators that are operable
by disabled persons. Management believes that the parking facilities the Company
owns and operates are in substantial compliance with these requirements.

     EMPLOYEES

     As of September 30, 1999, the Company employed approximately 17,000
individuals, including 9,100 full-time and 7,900 part-time employees.
Approximately 3,479 U.S. employees are represented by labor unions. Various
union locals, including Teamsters Local No. 272, represent parking attendants
and cashiers at the New York City

                                       10
<PAGE>   11
facilities. Other cities in which some of the Company's employees are
represented by labor unions are Washington, D.C., Miami, Philadelphia, San
Francisco, Des Moines, Jersey City, Newark, Atlantic City, Pittsburgh, White
Plains, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Chicago. The Company frequently is engaged in
collective bargaining negotiations with various union locals but has not
experienced any labor strikes. Management believes that the Company's employee
relations are good.

     SERVICE MARKS AND TRADEMARKS

     The Company has registered the names CPC, Central Parking System and
Central Parking Corporation, and its logo with the United States Patent Office
and has the right to use them throughout the United States except in the Chicago
and Atlantic City areas where two other companies have the exclusive right to
use the name "Central Parking." The Company also owns registered trademarks for
Square Industries, Kinney System, and Allright Parking and operates various
parking locations under those names. The Company uses the name "Chicago Parking
System" in Chicago and "CPS Parking" in Seattle and Milwaukee. The Company has
registered the name "Control Plus" and its symbol in London and intends to use
and register that name and symbol in association with its on street parking
activities in Richmond, Virginia . The Company has registered, or intends to
register, its name and logo in various international locations where it does
business.

     FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS

     Information about the Company's foreign and domestic operations is
incorporated by reference to Note 17 to the Company's 1999 Consolidated
Financial Statements.

     ITEM 2.  PARKING FACILITY PROPERTIES

     The Company's facilities are currently organized into 6 segments which are
subdivided into 17 regions, 16 in North America of which 15 are in the United
States and Canada and 1 is in Mexico, and one which is comprised of the United
Kingdom and Continental Europe. Each region is supervised by a regional manager
who reports directly to one of the senior vice presidents. Regional managers
oversee four to six general managers who each supervise the Company's operations
in a particular city. The following table summarizes certain information
regarding the Company's facilities as of September 30, 1999.

     The Company's facilities include both surface lots and structured parking
facilities (garages). Approximately 17% of the Company's owned parking
properties are in structured parking facilities, with the remainder in surface
lots. Management believes the Company's owned facilities generally are in good
condition and adequate for its present needs.

(1) Includes Central Parking Corporate headquarters in owned facilities.

     ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The ownership of property and provision of services to the public entails
an inherent risk of liability. Although the Company is engaged in routine
litigation incidental to its business, there is no legal proceeding to which the
Company is a party, which, in the opinion of management, will have a material
adverse effect upon the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or
liquidity. The Company carries liability insurance against certain types of
claims that management believes meets industry standards; however, there can be
no assurance that any future legal proceedings (including any related judgments,
settlements or costs) will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations.

* Adjusted to reflect three-for-two stock split in December 1997

     (b) There were, as of September 30, 1999, approximately 10,325 holders of
the Registrant's Common Stock, as evidenced by security position listings.

     (c) Since April 1997, Central Parking has distributed a quarterly cash
dividend of $0.015 per share of Central Parking common stock. The Company had
previously declared a dividend of $0.0125 per share of Central Parking common
stock following the end of each quarter since its initial public offering in
October 1995. The Company Board currently intends to declare a cash dividend
each quarter depending on Central Parking's profitability and capital necessary
to finance operations and expansion. Central Parking reserves the right,
however, to retain all or a substantial portion of its earnings to finance the
operation and expansion of Central Parking's business. As a result, the future
payment of dividends will depend upon, among other things, the Company's
profitability, capital requirements, financial condition, growth, business
opportunities, and other factors that the Central Parking Board may deem
relevant, including restrictions in any then-existing credit agreement. The
Company's existing credit facility contains certain covenants including those
that require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios, restrict further
indebtedness, and limit the amount of dividends payable; however, the Company
does not believe these restrictions limit its ability to pay currently
anticipated cash dividends. In addition, Central Parking Finance Trust (the
"Trust"), a Delaware statutory business trust, of which all of the common stock
is owned by the Company, issued preferred securities (the "Trust Issued
Preferred Securities") which prohibit the payment of dividends on the Central
Parking common stock if the quarterly distributions on the Trust Issued
Preferred Securities are not made for any reason.

     ITEM 7a.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

     Interest Rates
     The Company's primary exposure to market risk consists of changes in
interest rates on borrowings. At September 30, 1999, the Company's short-term
debt of $25 million and long-term debt excluding capital leases and notes
payable was $324 million. Of this amount, $25 million is subject to a fixed rate
swap and $324 million is variable rate debt which is subject to a pricing grid
of which $200 million is payable in quarterly installments of $12.5 million
beginning in June 2000 through March 2004 and $124 million in revolving credit
loans due in March 2004. The Company anticipates paying the scheduled quarterly
payments out of operating cash flow and, if necessary, will renew the revolving
credit facility. Generally, fixed long-term debt is used to finance single
purpose purchases over a fixed period of time.

     The Company's variable rate debt is priced at LIBOR plus 112.5 basis
points. For each 100 basis point increase or decrease in the LIBOR the Company
would incur increased or decreased interest expense of approximately $3.2
million per year.

     As described in Note 8 of the financial statements, the Company has $25
million in interest rate swap agreements.

     Foreign Currency Exposure
     The Company as described in Note 17 to the financial statements derives
approximately $34.2 million or 4.6% of total revenues from foreign sources. Of
the $34.2 million, 62.5% is derived from the United Kingdom and 34.1% is derived
from Canada. The Company does not employ any foreign currency hedge programs
because management does not believe the risk to be material.
