                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



To the Members of
H.B. Rentals, L.C.
Lafayette, Louisiana


We  have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of H.B. Rentals,
L.C.  and  subsidiary  as  of  December  31,  1999  and  1998, and the related
consolidated statements of income, members' interests, and  cash flows for the
years   then   ended.    These  consolidated  financial  statements  are   the
responsibility of the Company's  management.  Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require  that  we  plan  and  perform the audit to
obtain   reasonable   assurance  about  whether  the  consolidated   financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on
a  test  basis,  evidence  supporting  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the
consolidated financial  statements.   An  audit  also  includes  assessing the
accounting  principles  used and significant estimates made by management,  as
well as evaluating the overall  financial  statement presentation.  We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In  our  opinion,  the  consolidated financial statements  referred  to  above
present fairly, in all material  respects,  the  financial  position  of  H.B.
Rentals, L.C. and subsidiary as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results
of  their  operations  and  their  cash  flows  for  the  years  then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                      H.B. RENTALS, L.C. AND SUBSIDIARY

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

        Nature of business:

         H.B.  Rentals,  L.C.  (HB)  is  a Louisiana limited liability company
         engaged  in  the  short-term  rental   of  living  quarters,  related
         accessories and equipment primarily to oil related businesses in need
         of temporary housing and office space in  remote  areas.  The Company
         began operation on October 12, 1995 and operates mainly in the states
         of  Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi and Alabama.  In August  1998,  The
         Company  acquired  Eagle  Rental  Co., Inc. (Eagle), which is engaged
         primarily in the rental of equipment  for  offshore  use.   The  term
         "Company" herein refers to the total business conducted by HB and its
         subsidiary, Eagle.

        Consolidation:

         The  consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of the
         Company  and its subsidiary.  All significant  intercompany  accounts
         and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

        Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements:

         The preparation  of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting  principles requires management to make estimates
         and  assumptions that affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and
         liabilities  and the disclosures 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.

        Revenue recognition:

         The Company recognizes revenues as rentals and services are rendered.
         Expenses are recognized as they are incurred.

        Cash equivalents:

         Holdings of highly liquid investments  with  original  maturities  of
         three months or less.

        Allowance for doubtful accounts:

         An  allowance is established when in the opinion of management, based
         on economic conditions, a loss on accounts receivable is expected.




                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        Inventories:

         Inventories, consisting primarily of raw materials, are stated at the
         lower  of  first-in,  first-out  (FIFO)  cost  or  market.  Market is
         considered as the net realizable value.

        Property and equipment:

         The  Company  provides for depreciation by charges to  operations  in
         amounts estimated  to  allocate  the  cost  of  the assets over their
         estimated useful lives as follows:

           ASSET CLASSIFICATION                           USEFUL LIFE
           --------------------                           -----------
             Buildings and improvements                   10-40 years
             Mobile homes                                   5 years
             Equipment                                      5 years
             Vehicles                                      3-5 years

        Intangible assets:

         Goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method over a period of
         40  years.  Other intangibles are amortized using  the  straight-line
         method over their estimated useful lives ranging from 2 to 5 years.

        Income taxes:

         The parent  company,  HB,  has  elected  to  be  taxed  as  a limited
         liability  company  for  federal and state income tax purposes.   The
         members  have consented to  include  their  pro  rata  share  of  the
         Company's   income   or   loss   in  their  individual  tax  returns.
         Accordingly, no provision for federal  and  state  income  taxes were
         made in the accompanying financial statements for this entity.

         The   subsidiary   company,  Eagle,  accounts  for  income  taxes  in
         accordance with Statement  of  Financial Accounting Standards No. 109
         (SFAS No. 109), "Accounting for  Income  Taxes."   This pronouncement
         requires that deferred tax balances be determined using  the tax rate
         expected to be in effect when the taxes are actually paid  or refunds
         received.   Deferred  income  tax assets and liabilities result  from
         temporary differences. Temporary  differences are differences between
         the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in
         the financial statements that will  result  in  taxable or deductible
         amounts in future years.



                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        Employee benefit plan:

         Effective October 12, 1995, the Company established  a 401(k) plan to
         provide retirement benefits for employees.  Any employee over the age
         of twenty-one, who has been employed by the Company for  one year, is
         eligible to participate.  Participants may contribute to the  plan by
         deferring  up  to  15%  of  their   gross  salary, within certain IRS
         imposed limitations for maximum contributions  in  a given year.  The
         Company   makes   matching   contributions   equal  to  50%  of   the
         participants'  salary  reductions  limited  to  10%.    The   Company
         contributed  $56,690  and  $43,527  to  the  plan  for the year ended
         December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

        Concentration of credit risk:

         Financial  instruments  that  potentially  subject  the  Company   to
         significant  concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash,
         investments and accounts receivable.

         The  Company places  its  cash  and  investments  with  high  quality
         financial  institutions.   At times, such amounts may be in excess of
         FDIC  insurance  limits.   Credit   risk  with  respect  to  accounts
         receivable is generally diversified due to a large number of entities
         comprising  the  Company's  customer  base;  however,  the  Company's
         customer  base  is  in similar industries  and  principally  operates
         within  the coastal region  of  the  Gulf  of  Mexico.   The  Company
         establishes  an  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts  based on factors
         surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical  trends
         and other information.

        Reclassification:

         As   of  December  31,  1999,  reclassifications  were  made  in  the
         presentation  of  the  financial  statements  for  the  prior year to
         conform  with  the  presentation  of  the  1999 financial statements.
         These  changes  in  the  presentation did not affect  net  income  as
         previously reported.


Note 2. Acquisitions

        On  August 31, 1998, the Company  completed  the  acquisition  of  its
        wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Eagle Rental Co., Inc. for a purchase price
        of $5,113,932.  In addition  to  the  purchase price, the Company also
        paid $530,000 to the previous owners in  consideration  for  two  year
        non-compete agreements.  The acquisition has been accounted for by the
        purchase  method  of  accounting  and,  accordingly,  the  results  of
        operations of Eagle for the period beginning with acquisition date are
        included   in  the  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements.
        Assets acquired  and  liabilities  assumed have been recorded at their
        estimated fair values.  The excess of  cost  over  the  estimated fair
        value of net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill.   A  total  of
        $1,786,920  was allocated to goodwill and is being amortized using the
        straight-line basis over 40 years.


Note 3.  Receivables

        The balances  of  receivables consisted of the following components as
        of December 31:

                                                      1999           1998

        Of  the  notes  payable specified above, the loan balance  aggregating
        $6,000,000 is subject  to  restrictive  covenants pursuant to the loan
        agreement  with the bank.  Failure to comply  with  certain  covenants
        contained in  the  loan  document  has placed the Company in technical
        default of the loan agreement.  The  bank has waived default under the
        loan agreement, insofar as it relates to the failure of the Company to
        comply as of December 31, 1999.

        Subsequent to year end, on March 31, 2000, the $6,000,000 note payable
        to the bank was refinanced.  The note  was  replaced with a $4,000,000
        note payable to the bank and a $2,000,000 note  payable to a member of
        the Company.  The $4,000,000 note payable to the  bank has an interest
        rate of 8% and is payable in 35 monthly installments  of principal and
        interest totaling $81,339 beginning April 30, 2000 and a final balloon
        payment of $1,795,715 due April 30, 2003.  This note is collateralized
        by equipment and vehicles of the Company and the limited  guarantee of
        one of the members of the Company.  The $2,000,000 note payable to the

Note 7. Commitments

        The Company maintains a $2,000,000 line of credit agreement with  Bank
        One,  Louisiana,  NA.  The agreement is secured by accounts receivable
        of the Company.  During  fiscal  years  1999  and  1998,  interest  on
        advances accrue at a rate equal to the Chase Manhattan prime plus one-
        half  percent.   Effective  March  31, 2000, interest will accrue at a
        rate  equal  to  the  30  day LIBOR rate  plus  2.25%.   The  balances
        outstanding under this agreement  at  December  31, 1999 and 1998 were
        $1,151,938   and  $574,481,   respectively.

        In  connection  with  the refinancing arrangement that  took  place on
        March 31, 2000, the Company   guaranteed a $2,000,000 note by a member
        of  the Company to the bank.  This  member's  note  requires  interest
        payments  monthly  at  a rate  of 8% and a single principal payment on

Note 8. Income Taxes

        Eagle  Rental  Co.,  Inc.  uses   Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
        Standards  No.  109  "Accounting  for Income  Taxes"  to  account  for
        deferred income taxes.  Under this  pronouncement,  the  tax effect of
        each  item  in  the  statement of income is recognized in the  current
        period regardless of when  the  tax  is  paid.  Taxes on amounts which
        affect financial and taxable income in different  periods are reported
        as deferred income taxes.  Deferred taxes are provided  only  on items
        which  will  result  in  a  net  tax  liability or benefit in a future
        period.

        Deferred income taxes arise due to different  accounting  methods used
        for  financial  and income reporting.  The major differences  are  the
        accruals of receivables,  payables  and  other expenses required under
        the accrual method of accounting used for  financial  reporting, while
        using  a cash basis method for income tax purposes.  Differences  also
        arise from  the  use  of  accelerated  depreciation  methods  for  tax
        reporting  purposes, while expensing the cost over the expected useful
        life of the assets for financial reporting purposes.

        The benefit  from  income  taxes  consists  of  the  following for the
        periods ended December 31:

(B) In the Merger, Superior exchanged approximately 30 million shares of Superior common stock for 100% of the outstanding stock of Cardinal. The valuation of Superior's net assets were based upon the approximate 28.8 million shares of Superior Common Stock outstanding prior to the merger times the trading price of $3.78 at the time of negotiation of the Merger, plus additional capitalized costs of approximately $3 million related to the Cardinal merger costs for professional fees net of $2 million in Superior merger costs. Superior's historical book basis for its property and equipment was considered to be its fair market value. This valuation reflects excess purchase price of $31.6 million, over the fair value of net assets, which has been recorded as goodwill. In the PMI Acquisition, Superior acquired PMI for aggregate consideration of $3 million in cash and 610,000 shares of Superior's common stock at the trading price of $5.66 at the time of negotiation of the Merger. The purchase price allocated to net assets was $3.5 million, and the excess purchase price of approximately $3 million, over the fair value of net assets, was recorded as goodwill. In the HB Acquisition, Superior acquired HB for aggregate consideration of $7 million in cash of which $1.9 million of the purchase price was allocated to net assets, and the excess purchase price of approximately $5.1 million, over the fair value of net assets, was recorded as goodwill. This adjustment reflects the increase in amortization as a result of goodwill, described above, amortized over 30 years and non compete agreements of approximately $1 million entered into as a result of the Merger amortized over 4 years as follows: Additional goodwill amortization from the Merger $565 Amortization of non-competes 121 Additional goodwill amortization from the PMI Acquisition 80 Additional goodwill amortization from the HB Acquisition 171 ------- $937 (C) To record the net decrease in interest expense resulting from a $55 million equity contribution to Cardinal, used to pay down debt, net with $10 million in additional debt incurred for the acquisition of PMI. The reduction in interest expense due to the equity contribution uses Cardinal's borrowing rate of 8.12% and the offsetting increase due to the debt incurred for the acquisition of PMI, uses Superior's borrowing rate of 9.28%.
