Dear Corrpro Shareholder:

Corrpro's March 16, 2004 special shareholders' meeting is fast approaching.
According to a recent report by our proxy tabulator, your vote in favor of the
Corrpro refinancing and recapitalization proposals has not been received. If you
have already voted in favor of the proposals, we appreciate your support.

By voting for the proposals, you would approve the injection of fresh capital
into the Company along with the provision of senior and subordinated debt from
new lending institutions, sufficient to repay the Company's existing senior
lenders and provide the Company with working capital going forward. This
recapitalization and refinancing will allow your Company to avoid filing for
bankruptcy and its attendant problems, including the potential reduction or
elimination of the value of your Company stock. (See "Proposal One" in the proxy
statement for a complete description of the transaction. For convenience, the
transaction is referred to in this letter as the "Corrpro Transaction.")

Your Board of Directors believes that the Corrpro Transaction is in the
shareholders' best interests as well as those of the Company. The Company's
financial advisor contacted hundreds of potential equity investors, senior
lenders and junior lenders on behalf of the Company in an effort to solicit
refinancing or recapitalization proposals. It was only after a rigorous
marketing process and extensive deliberations and negotiations that the Company
determined that the Corrpro Transaction was the best refinancing and
recapitalization plan for the Company and its shareholders.

If the Corrpro Transaction is not approved, the Company will be obligated to pay
substantial break-up fees, which, as described in the proxy statement, could
exceed $2 million. Further, there will be no foreseeable alternative for the
continued operation of the Company other than filing for protection under
applicable bankruptcy laws, potentially leaving little or no value for existing
shareholders. In order to allow the completion of the Corrpro Transaction, he
Company's current lenders have granted forbearance extensions on certain senior
debt obligations due on March 31, 2004.

Please vote in favor of all of the proposals contained on the proxy ballot. For
your ease, you may vote by telephone or by the internet by following the
instructions on your proxy card. If you need another proxy card, you may call
888-644-5484 (toll free).

For a more detailed discussion of the Corrpro Transaction or the Company's
reasons for soliciting your vote, please review the complete Definitive Proxy
Statement previously mailed to you, which is also available on the SEC's website
at www.sec.gov and the Company's website at www.corrpro.com.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Robert M. Mayer

Senior Vice President

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

   INSTITUTIONAL SHAREHOLDER SERVICES RECOMMENDS CORRPRO SHAREHOLDERS VOTE IN
             FAVOR OF CORRPRO REFINANCING AND RECAPITALIZATION PLAN

MEDINA, OHIO, MARCH 10, 2004--Corrpro Companies, Inc. (AMEX:CO), today announced
that Institutional Shareholder Services ("ISS"), recognized worldwide as an
independent authority on public company shareholder matters and corporate
governance, has issued a formal recommendation to its institutional clients
holding shares in Corrpro to vote in favor of the proposals of management
relating to Corrpro's plan of refinancing and recapitalization. ISS is the
leading provider of proxy voting and corporate governance services for
institutional and corporate clients worldwide.

The proposed refinancing and recapitalization plan is being submitted to
Corrpro's shareholders for approval at a March 16, 2004 special shareholders'
meeting. It consists of a number of interdependent proposals, including approval
of a $13 million cash investment by an entity controlled by Wingate Partners
III, L.P. in return for the issuance of $13 million of a new issue of preferred
stock, together with the issuance of warrants to the Wingate affiliate to
acquire 40% of the fully-diluted common stock of the Company at a nominal
exercise price. As part of the refinancing plan, once approved, CapitalSource
Finance LLC, a subsidiary of CapitalSource Inc. (NYSE:CSE), has agreed to
provide to the Company a $40 million senior secured credit facility, subject to
the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, consisting of a
revolving credit line, a term loan with a five-year maturity and a letter of
credit sub-facility. In addition, American Capital Strategies Ltd. (Nasdaq:
ACAS) ("American Capital") has agreed to provide $14 million of secured
subordinated debt to the Company, subject to the satisfaction of certain
customary closing conditions. Shareholders are also being asked to approve the
issuance to American Capital of warrants to acquire 13% of the fully diluted
common stock of the Company at a nominal exercise price in connection with the
refinancing. The proceeds of the refinancing will be used to repay by March 31,
2004 the debt owed its current senior lenders, a lending group led by Bank One
N.A., and The Prudential Insurance Company of America.

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and
mailed to its shareholders a definitive proxy statement in connection with the
proposals to be considered and voted upon at the special meeting.

"The ISS recommendation confirms management's belief in the importance of the
approval of this plan for the future of our Company. It is essential that our
shareholders recognize that this refinancing plan, which is the culmination of a
rigorous process under which hundreds of



potential sources of capital were contacted, represents the best alternative
available for both the Company's shareholders and the Company," commented Joseph
W. Rog, Chairman, CEO and President. "Failure to complete the refinancing
transaction on a timely basis would likely result in the issuance of default
notices and the commencement of foreclosure proceedings by the Company's current
lenders. In such case, there is no currently foreseeable alternative available
to the Company other than filing for protection under applicable bankruptcy
laws."

The Company urges its shareholders to read the proxy statement carefully, as the
proxy statement contains important information regarding the proposals to be
considered and voted upon at the special meeting. If the refinancing and
recapitalization plan is not approved by the requisite majority of shareholders,
the Company will be obligated to pay substantial breakup fees as described in
the proxy statement.

The Company and its directors and officers may be deemed to be participants in
the solicitation of proxies with respect to the proposals to be considered and
voted upon at the special meeting. Information regarding the ownership interests
of the Company's directors and executive officers is contained in the Company's
special meeting proxy statement and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2003.

The Company's shareholders and other investors may obtain a free copy of the
Company's proxy statement, and other documents filed by the Company with the SEC
by visiting the SEC's website at www.sec.gov or the Company's website at
www.corrpro.com. Free copies of the Company's proxy statement, and other
documents filed with the SEC may also be obtained by sending a written request
