NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1997
------------------------------------------
1. The consolidated financial information for the three months ended March 31,
1997 has not been audited, but in the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring accruals, consolidation and eliminating
entries) necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated results of
operations, financial position, and cash flows of McGrath RentCorp (the
"Company") have been made. The consolidated results of the three months ended
March 31, 1997 should not be considered as necessarily indicative of the
consolidated results for the entire year. It is suggested that these
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest Form 10-K.
2. On March 27, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors declared a 2-for-1
stock split to be effective April 15, 1997. All share and per share calculations
retroactively reflect the stock split. The number of outstanding shares and
equivalent shares used in the earnings per common share calculations were as
follows:
Quarter ended March 31, Primary Fully Diluted
- ----------------------- ---------- -------------
1997 15,123,004 15,143,156
1996 15,756,370 15,762,590
3. The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per Share", which modifies the
way in which earnings per share (EPS) is calculated and disclosed effective for
periods ending after December 15, 1997. Primary EPS will be replaced by basic
EPS which is computed by dividing reported net income by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted
EPS will be replaced with diluted EPS which is computed by dividing reported net
income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive
common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents
result from dilutive stock options computed using the treasury stock method with
the average share price for the reported period. When implemented, the effect of
this accounting change on previously reported EPS data is not significant.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 and 1996
McGrath RentCorp (the "Company") is engaged in the business of renting and
selling relocatable modular offices and classrooms under its trade name "Mobile
Modular," and electronic test and measurement instruments under the names
"McGrath RentCorp" and "Rentelco". Although the Company's primary emphasis is on
rentals, both modulars and electronics are sold to direct-use customers. The
Company also manufactures portable classrooms through its majority owned (73.2%)
subsidiary, Enviroplex, Inc., for direct sale to school districts.
Rental revenues for the first quarter of 1997 increased $2,769,203 (24%)
over 1996 with modulars contributing $2,128,809 of the increase and electronics
contributing $640,394. Average utilization during the first quarter increased
for modulars from 70.0% to 79.3% and declined for electronics from 56.7% to
53.9%, as compared to the same period in 1996. The increase in utilization for
modulars resulted from the large volume of shipments to school districts during
the last half of 1996 and first quarter 1997 due to the implementation of class
size reduction in California. Class size reduction has significantly contributed
to the increase in rental revenues.
Rental related services revenues for the first quarter of 1997 increased
$1,254,626 (76%) over the same period in 1996. Most of the increase resulted
from one commercial project with significant site work requirements performed at
a lower gross margin. Gross margins declined between comparative quarters, from
38% in 1996 to 30% in 1997, as a result of this commercial project compounded
with the earning of less incentive fees during the quarter for equipment
management.
Sales and related services revenues for the three months ended March 31,
1997 increased $5,112,330, a 114% increase, compared to the same period in 1996.
Of the increase in sales and related services revenues, $2,225,968 relates to
modulars, $2,621,819 relates to Enviroplex and $264,543 relates to electronics.
Again in 1997, the significant increase in sales for modulars and Enviroplex is
directly related to the higher demand by school districts because of the class
size reduction program in California. Of the consolidated total sales and
related services revenues for the Company, 61% were related to school districts.
Gross margin on sales and related services improved during first quarter 1997 to
35% from 31% for the comparative period in 1996. Sales and related services have
fluctuated from quarter to quarter and year to year depending on customer
requirements.
Depreciation on rental equipment for the three months ended March 31, 1997
increased $417,788 (14%) as a result of additions to the rental equipment for
both modulars and electronics. Equipment supplies, repair, direct labor and
other increased $567,050 (29%) over first quarter 1996 due to material, repair
and labor costs directly related to the modular equipment movement in the first
quarter 1997.

First Quarter 1997 Form 10-Q
Page 6
Selling and administrative expenses increased $665,897 (23%) for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996 due to increased
staffing levels and personnel costs necessitated by the increasing levels of
business. Additionally, expense increases of Enviroplex contributed to the
overall increase.
Income before provision for taxes increased $3,076,539 (60%) for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 from the same period in 1996 with after tax income
increasing $1,845,911 (60%). Earnings per share for the quarter increased from
$0.20 per share to $0.33 per share, a 65% increase, as a result of higher net
income and fewer outstanding shares.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
The debt (notes payable) to equity ratio was 0.61 to 1 at March 31, 1997
compared to 0.56 to 1 at December 31, 1996. The debt (total liabilities) to
equity ratio at the end of the current period was 1.25 to 1 compared to 1.22 to
1 as of December 31, 1995.
The Company has made purchases of shares of its common stock from time to
time in the over-the-counter market (NASDQ) and/or through privately negotiated,
large block transactions under an authorization of the Board of Dircetors. The
Board of Directors believes that the repurchase of its shares continues to be a
good investment for the Company. Shares repurchased by the Company will be
cancelled and returned to the status of authorized but unissued stock. The
Company has not repurchased any of its common stock during 1997 and currently
has 1,000,000 shares authorized for repurchase.
The Company's primary use of funds is to purchase rental equipment, and
funds will continue to be used for this purpose in the future. Additionally, the
Company plans to make further improvements to the land at their inventory
facility located in Northern California. The Company also pays quarterly
dividends, which will constitute an additional use of cash in 1997.
