NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1995
------------------------------------------

1. The consolidated financial information for the three months ended March 31,
1995 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, 1995 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. 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
----------------------- --------- -------------
1995 8,262,300 8,262,300
1994 8,446,845 8,452,102

3. On January 1, 1995, McGrath RentCorp converted a $300,000 note receivable
to 73.171% ownership of Enviroplex, Inc. Enviroplex, Inc. manufactures portable
classrooms built to the requirements of the Division of State Architect ("DSA")
and sells primarily to school districts. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned
subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

Bonus Plan to certain key employees for achieving an average return on equity

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS.

Three Months Ended March 31, 1995 and 1994

Rental revenues for the first quarter of 1995 increased by $249,590, a 2%
increase over the same period in 1994. The $354,466 increase in rental revenues
from electronics was offset by a $104,876 decline in rental revenues from
relocatable modular offices. The rental revenue decline for modulars was due to
the return of a significant amount of equipment (220 unit complex) from a single
customer which generated rental billings of $322,464 per quarter. Average
utilization during the first quarter improved for electronic equipment from
53.6% to 54.6% while modular utilization declined from 78.5% to 75.5% compared
to the same period in 1994 due to the return of the above mentioned complex.

Rental related services for the three months ended March 31, 1995 decreased
$426,168, a 17% decrease from the same period in 1994. The decrease was due to
fewer site work requirements experienced in 1995. This was offset by a one time
adjustment of incentive fees recognized by the Company for equipment management.
For the comparative period in 1994, $739,000 of rental related service revenues
was for site work for three projects, one was directly related to the
Northridge, California earthquake.

Sales and related services for the three months ended March 31, 1995
increased $474,837, a 15% increase compared to the same period in 1994 due to
the sales volume of $924,306 contributed by the Company's majority owned
subsidiary, Enviroplex, Inc. Sales and related services from quarter to quarter
have fluctuated depending on customer requirements. Gross margins on sales and
related services remained consistent in 1995 compared to the same period in 1994
at 34%.

Selling and administrative expenses increased $101,790 (3%) for the three
months ended March 31, 1995 compared to the same period in 1994 primarily due to
the impact of Enviroplex, Inc. of $93,384 and the acceleration of a leasehold
improvement of $330,000 offset by a reduction in the bad debt reserve of
$200,000. The Company also realized reductions in insurance expense and modular
equipment freight expense.

Interest expense increased $217,309 (47%) for the first quarter 1995 over
the same period in 1994 as a result of a higher average interest rate even
though average borrowing levels were lower.

Income before provision for taxes increased $136,839 (3%) for the three
months ended March 31, 1995 over the same period in 1994 with after tax income
increasing $39,044 (1%) as a result of a higher effective tax rate in 1995 of
39.60% compared to 38.75% in 1994.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.

The debt (notes payable) to equity ratio was 0.40 to 1 at March 31, 1995
compared to 0.43 to 1 at December 31, 1994. The debt (total liabilities) to
equity ratio at the end of the current period was 1.02 to 1 as compared to 1.03
to 1 as of December 31 1994.

In August 1994, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase
of up to 850,000 shares of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock.
Under this authorization, the Company has repurchased 204,054 shares of common
stock for an aggregate purchase price of $3,246,629 or an average price of
$15.91 per share. No other shares will be repurchased under this authorization.

On March 30, 1995, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up
to 650,000 shares of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Stock. The
Company intends to make purchases from time to time in the over-the-counter
market (NASDQ) and/or through privately negotiated, large block transactions.
The Board of Directors believes the Company's shares are currently undervalued
by the market and that the repurchase of its shares is a good investment for the
Company at this time. Shares repurchased by the Company will be cancelled and
returned to the status of authorized but unissued stock. As of May 12, 1995, the
Company has not repurchased any common stock under this authorization.

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
facilities located in Southern California, Northern California and Houston area.
The Company also pays quarterly dividends, which will constitute an additional
use of cash in 1995.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

On March 30, 1995 the Company declared a quarterly dividend on its Common
Stock; the dividend was $0.12 per share. Subject to its continued profitability
and favorable cash flow, the Company intends to continue the payment of
quarterly dividends. The Company's loan agreement with the Bank prohibits
payment of dividends in excess of 50% of net income in any one year without the
bank's consent.
