NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1997
------------------------------------------
1. The consolidated financial information for the six months ended June 30,
1997 has not been audited, but in the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting only of 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 six months ended
June 30, 1997 should not be considered as necessarily indicative of the
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:
Primary Fully Diluted
--------- -------------
Three months ended: June 30, 1997 15,201,573 15,231,979
June 30, 1996 15,326,982 15,343,364
Six months ended: June 30, 1997 15,163,548 15,214,979
June 30, 1996 15,541,480 15,568,044
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.
4. In July 1997, the Company entered into a new credit agreement amending
and restating it's unsecured line of credit agreement (the "Agreement") with
its banks which expires June 30, 1999 and permits it to borrow up to
$70,000,000. The Agreement requires the Company to pay interest at prime or,
at the Company's election, other rate options available under the Agreement.
In addition, the Company pays a commitment fee on the daily average unused
portion of the available line. Among other terms, the
McGrath RentCorp
Second Quarter 1997 Form 10-Q
Page 5
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1997
------------------------------------------
Agreement requires (i) the Company to maintain shareholders' equity of not
less than $77,800,000 plus 50% of all net income generated subsequent to June
30, 1997, (ii) a debt-to-equity ratio (excluding deferred income taxes) of
not more than 3 to 1, (iii) interest coverage (income from operations
compared to interest expense) of not less than 2 to 1, and (iv) debt service
coverage of not less than 1.15 to 1. If the Company does not amend or
renegotiate this Agreement for an additional time period prior to its
expiration date, the principal amount outstanding at that time will be
converted to a two-year term loan with the principal due and payable in eight
(8) quarterly installments. In addition to the $70,000,000 unsecured line of
credit, the expiration date of a $5,000,000 Optional Advance Facility with
one of the Company's banks was extended to August 31, 1997.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 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 three and six months ended June 30, 1997
increased $3,049,754 (26%) and $5,818,957 (25%), respectively, over the same
periods in 1996. Modulars contributed 80.4% and 78.7% of the rental revenue
increase in 1997 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997. Average
utilization during the first six months increased for modulars, from 69.4% to
79.0%, and slightly declined for electronics, from 55.6% to 53.9% as compared
to the same period in 1996. The increase in utilization for modulars is a
result of class size reduction in California schools and has significantly
contributed to the increase in rental revenues for the reported periods.
Rental related service revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1997
increased $276,476 (13%) and for the six months ended June 30, 1997 increased
$1,531,102 (41%), respectively, compared to the same periods in 1996. The six
month increase was primarily due to one commercial project which occurred in
the first quarter of 1997 with significant site work requirements performed
at a lower gross margin. Partially for reason noted above, gross margins for
rental related services declined for the six month comparative period from
42% in 1996 to 32% in 1997.
Sales and related services for the three and six months ended June 30,
1997 increased $10,491,399 (179%) and $15,603,729 (151%), respectively, over
the same periods in 1996. Of the six month increase in sales and related
services revenues, $7,749,926 relates to modulars, $6,981,314 relates to
Enviroplex, and $872,489 relates to electronics. 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 total sales and related services of the Company in 1997, approximately
68% were related to school districts. Gross Margins on sales and related
services improved for the six month period from 30.5% in 1996 to 32.0% in
1997.
Depreciation on rental equipment for the three and six months ended June
30, 1997 increased $389,164 (13%) and $806,952 (13%), respectively over the
same periods in 1996 as a result of additions to the rental equipment for
both modulars and electronics. Other direct rental costs increased $340,718
(21%) and $907,768 (26%), respectively, for the three
McGrath RentCorp
Second Quarter 1997 Form 10-Q
Page 7
and six months ended June 30, 1997 due to material, repair, and labor costs
related to the modular equipment movement occurring in 1997.
Selling and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1997 increased $1,028,397 (35%) and $1,694,294 (29%),
respectively, over the same periods in 1996. The increased business
activity in the modular business for class size reduction has also
translated into higher personnel costs for the six months ended June 30,
1997 over the same six month period in 1996. Personnel costs increased
$886,127 over the same period in 1996 and include additional staff for
sales and support, increased temporary contract labor, and increased
sales and performance bonuses. Additionally, selling and administrative
expenses for Enviroplex increased $619,750 during the six month comparative
period due to increased sales activity and includes the reduction of net
income by the portion of earnings of Enviroplex related to the minority
shareholder's interest.
Income before provision for income taxes for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997 increased $4,026,159 (66%) and $7,102,698 (64%),
respectively, over the same periods in 1996. Net income increased
$2,429,557 (67%) for the three month period and $4,275,468 (64%) for the
six month period over the same periods in 1996. Earnings per share for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1997 increased 67%, from $0.24 to
$0.40, and 70%, from $0.43 to $0.73. Outstanding shares declined slightly.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.
The debt (notes payable) to equity ratio was 0.66 to 1 at June 30,
1997 compared to 0.61 to 1 at December 31, 1996. The debt (total
liabilities) to equity ratio at the end of the current period was 1.28 to 1
as compared to 1.25 to 1 as of December 31, 1996.
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
Directors. 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 sales inventory, 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.
