1. Description of Business
Anthony Crane Rental, L.P. (the "Partnership") and its subsidiaries are
engaged in the rental of cranes and other heavy equipment primarily for
industrial maintenance and construction to a variety of companies in the
petrochemical, paper, steel, utility, mining and multiple other industries.
The Partnership provides twenty-four hour service, seven days a week to
customers principally in the United States. The Partnership also sells new and
used equipment to commercial construction, industrial and residential users.
2. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Partnership and all of its subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
the Partnership have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. During interim periods, the
Partnership follows the accounting policies set forth in its annual report on
Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Users of
financial information produced for interim periods are encouraged to refer to
the footnotes contained in the Form 10-K when reviewing interim financial
results.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are of a normal and
recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
operations of these interim periods have been included. The net loss for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000, is not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The management
discussion and analysis, which follows these notes, contains additional
information on the results of operations and financial position of the
Company. Those comments should be read in conjunction with these financial
statements.
3. Cash Flow Statement
Supplemental cash flow information with respect to the acquisitions
discussed in Note 5 is as follows:

4. Long-Term Debt (continued)
(A) The Senior Notes of $155 million were issued in connection with the
Company's recapitalization on July 22, 1998, and will mature on August 1,
2008. Interest on the Senior Notes accrues at the rate of 10 3/8% per
annum from the issue date and is payable semi-annually.
The Senior Notes are not redeemable prior to August 1, 2003. Thereafter,
the Senior Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of the Company
at premium percentages ranging between approximately 105% and 102% (based
on the year of redemption) if redeemed after August 1, 2003, but before
August 1, 2006. Subsequent to August 1, 2006, the Senior Notes may be
redeemed at no premium to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at
any time prior to August 1, 2001, the Company may on any one or more
occasions redeem a total of up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of
the Senior Notes originally issued under the Senior Note Indenture at a
redemption price of approximately 110 3/8% of the principal if that
redemption is paid for with the proceeds of an equity offering.
The Senior Note Indenture contains certain restrictive covenants that
limit, among other things, the ability of the Company to make
distributions, incur additional indebtedness, consolidate or sell
substantially all of its assets, and enter into transactions with related
parties.
(B) The Senior Credit Facilities consist of a $425.0 million six-year non-
amortizing Revolving Credit Facility, a $50.0 million eight-year non-
amortizing Term Loan and a $250.0 million seven-year First Priority Term
Loan. The Revolving Credit Facility is available on a revolving basis
subject to a borrowing base during the period commencing on the date of
the Closing of the recapitalization transaction (July 22, 1998) and
ending on the date that is six years after the date of the Closing. At
the Company's option, loans made under the Revolving Credit Facility bear
interest at either (i) the Base Rate (defined as the highest of the rate
of interest announced publicly by Fleet National Bank from time to time
as its prime rate or the Federal funds effective rate from time to time
plus 0.50%) plus a margin of 1.5%, subject to adjustment based on a
leverage test, or (ii) the reserve-adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate
("LIBO") plus a margin of 2.5%, subject to adjustment based on a leverage
test. The Term Loan bears interest, at the Company's option, at either
(i) the Base Rate plus a margin of 1.75%, or (ii) the reserve-adjusted
LIBO Rate plus a margin of 2.75%. The First Priority Term Loan bears
interest, at the Company's option, at either (i) the Base Rate plus a
margin of 2.25%, subject to adjustment based on a leverage test, or (ii)
the reserve-adjusted LIBO Rate plus a margin of 3.25%, subject to
adjustment based on a leverage test.
Revolving loans may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed from time to time
until six years after the closing of the Senior Credit Facilities. The Term
Loan may be repaid at any time but is subject to certain call protections
and must be repaid in full eight years after the closing of the Senior
Credit Facilities. The First Priority Term Loans will be amortized equal to
1% of the aggregate principal amount thereof with the unpaid balance
thereof payable in full on July 20, 2006.
The Revolving Credit Facility and First Priority Term Loans are secured by
a first-priority perfected lien, and the Term Loan is secured by a second-
priority perfected lien, on all partnership interests of the Company and
all property and assets (tangible and intangible) of the Company and each
of its material subsidiaries, including, without limitation, all
intercompany indebtedness, and all capital stock (or similar equity
interests owned by the Company) of each of the Company's direct and
indirect material subsidiaries, whenever acquired and wherever located;
provided, however, that no more than 65% of the capital stock or similar
equity interests of non-U.S. subsidiaries, if any, will be required to be
pledged as security in the event that a pledge of a greater percentage
would result in increased tax or similar liabilities for the Company and
its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis or would violate applicable law.

4. Long-Term Debt (continued)
The Senior Credit Facilities provide for mandatory repayments, subject to
certain exceptions, of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan
based on certain net asset sales outside the ordinary course of business of
the Company and its subsidiaries and the net proceeds of certain debt and
equity issuances. Outstanding loans under the Revolving Credit Facility and
the Term Loan (subject to certain call provisions) are voluntarily pre-
payable without penalty; provided, however, that LIBO breakage costs, if
any, shall be borne by the Company. The Senior Credit Facilities contains
certain restrictive covenants; the most restrictive of which include
financial ratios.
The obligations of the Company under the Senior Notes and Senior Credit
Facilities are guaranteed on a full, unconditional joint and several basis,
by all material existing, direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries of the
Company and will be guaranteed by all material future, direct and indirect
domestic and foreign subsidiaries of the Company.
The aggregate principal debt maturities of long-term debt for the next five
years are as follows:

5. Business Acquisitions
On June 30, 2000, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and
assumed certain liabilities of R.E. Coulter Crane, Inc. The aggregate purchase
price at closing was approximately $9.4 million in cash plus assumed
liabilities of $.1 million, subject to certain post-closing purchase price
adjustments. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the
assets acquired, principally consisting of equipment, based on their estimated
fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill in the amount of $1.8 million
was recorded as a result of the acquisition and is being amortized over 15
years.
On March 15, 2000, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
King's Crane Service, Inc. The aggregate purchase price was $4.6 million in
cash, subject to certain post-closing purchase price adjustments. The
acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and,
accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired,
principally consisting of equipment, based on their estimated fair values at
the date of acquisition. Goodwill in the amount of $1.0 million was recorded
as a result of the acquisition and is being amortized over 15 years.
On January 27, 2000, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common
stock of Sacramento Valley Crane Service, Inc. The aggregate purchase price
for the acquisition at closing was approximately $6.6 million in cash plus
assumed liabilities of approximately $5.4 million, subject to certain post-
closing purchase price adjustments. The acquisition was accounted for under
the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price has
been allocated to the assets acquired, principally consisting of equipment,
based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill in
the amount of $.7 million was recorded as a result of the acquisition and is
being amortized over 15 years.

5. Business Acquisitions (continued)
The operating results of these acquisitions are included in the
Partnership's consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition.
Certain pro forma financial information related to the above acquisitions have
not been presented since the acquisitions were not material to the
Partnership's consolidated financial position or its consolidated results of
operations.
6. Equity Investment in Joint Venture
On February 29, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with Van
Seumeren, USA, to form a joint venture, AVS Services, L.L.C., to engage in
heavy lift services. Under the agreement, each partner in the joint venture
shares equally in the profit or loss of the joint venture. In connection with
the agreement, the Company is obligated to contribute up to $.5 million as its
capital contribution. To date, the Company has made capital contributions
totaling $.2 million to the joint venture. The investment in the joint venture
has been accounted for using the equity method.
7. Lease Commitments
In April 1997, the Partnership entered into a capital lease agreement for
the lease of twenty trucks. The lease has a term of three years with a bargain
purchase option at the end of the lease agreement. Interest rates under the
capital lease agreement range from approximately 19% to 22%.
In connection with the acquisition of Sacramento Valley Crane Service Inc.,
(See Note 5), and the Carlisle acquisition completed in 1999, the Partnership
assumed certain obligations related to capital leases.
The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments under the
capital lease agreements together with the present value of the net minimum
lease payments as of June 30, 2000:

Included in rental equipment is cost and accumulated depreciation for these
leased assets of approximately $8,183 and $846, respectively, at June 30, 2000
and $1,716 and $455, respectively, at December 31, 1999.
8. Contingencies
The Company is the defendant in a lawsuit by its former insurance carrier
who has asserted a claim for premiums allegedly due on a contract of insurance
in the amount of approximately $455. The Company has denied any liability and
intends to vigorously defend the claim.

8. Contingencies (continued)
Additionally, the Company was a defendant in a lawsuit asserting breach of
contract and tort claims arising out of allegations the Company did not timely
deliver certain used equipment that the customer contracted to buy from the
Company. In July 2000, the lawsuit was settled for $100.
The Company is also the defendant in a lawsuit resulting from negotiations
in connection with a proposed acquisition in which the potential seller is
seeking contractual damages in the amount of $3 million plus other
consequential damages that may be proved at trial for breach of contract and
the confidentiality provisions in a letter of intent executed between the
parties. The Company has denied any liability and intends to vigorously defend
the claims.
The Company is a party to a number of other lawsuits and claims arising out
of the usual course of business.
While the Company cannot predict the outcome of these matters, in the
opinion of management upon advice of counsel, any liability resulting
thereunder will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business
or financial condition, after giving effect to provisions already recorded.
However, there can be no assurance that an adverse outcome in one or more of
these matters will not be material to results of operations in any one period.
Additionally, certain of these matters are covered by the indemnity from the
partners prior to the Company's recapitalization.
9. Subsidiary Guarantors
All of the Company's subsidiaries are wholly owned and all of the
outstanding debt under the Company's Senior Notes and Senior Credit Facility
are guaranteed on a full, unconditional and joint and several basis by all of
these subsidiaries (the "Guarantor Subsidiaries"). The following summarized
financial information presents the financial position for the Company and
Guarantor Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the results
of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000
and 1999, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.
Separate financial statements of the Guarantor Subsidiaries have not been
presented because management believes they are not material to investors.

10. Operating Segment Information
The Company identifies and manages its business as two operating segments,
equipment rentals and equipment sales.
The equipment rentals segment is engaged in the rental of cranes and other
heavy equipment primarily for industrial maintenance and construction to a
variety of companies in the petrochemical, paper, steel, utility, mining and
multiple other industries, throughout the United States. The equipment sales
segment sells new and used equipment to commercial construction, industrial
and residential users.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those of the
Company. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates
resources to them based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA), as defined to exclude net gains on sales of used
equipment.
The Company does not maintain information about assets for its reportable
segments. Accordingly, the items specified in Paragraph 28 of FAS 131 are not
applicable. Additionally, the Company has not disclosed prior years' segment
data on a comparative basis, because management found it impracticable to
obtain the comparative data for the prior years.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30,
1999
Equipment Rental Revenues: Revenues from equipment rentals increased $35.8
million, or 66.9%, to $89.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 as
compared to $53.5 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase
was largely due to the Carlisle acquisition completed in July 1999, which
accounted for approximately $27.5 million in equipment rental revenues. The
remaining $8.3 million increase is the result of incremental revenues
generated by the other acquisitions completed during 1999, as well as internal
growth of the Company's existing yards.
Equipment Sales: Revenues from equipment sales increased $2.0 million, or
25.3%, to $9.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, as compared to
$7.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The Carlisle acquisition
accounted for approximately $4.3 million in equipment sales during the
quarter. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in equipment sales
volume in the rest of the Company.
Total Revenues: Based on the foregoing, total revenues increased $37.8
million, or 61.6%, to $99.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, as
compared to $61.4 million for the same period in the prior year.
Gross Profit: Gross profit from equipment rentals increased $14.8 million,
or 75.1%, to $34.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, as compared to
$19.7 million for the same period in the prior year. The Carlisle acquisition
accounted for approximately $10.9 million of the increase in gross profit from
equipment rentals. As a percent of equipment rental revenues, gross profit
from equipment rentals improved from 36.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 1999
to 38.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. The increase is due to the
Carlisle acquisition and various cost improvement activities, including
accelerated integration actions on several 1999 acquisitions.
Gross profit from equipment sales increased $.7 million, or 87.5%, to $1.5
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $.8 million for
the same period in the prior year. As a percent of equipment sales revenues,
gross profit from equipment sales improved to 15.5% for the quarter ended June
30, 2000, as compared to 10.0% for the same period in the prior year.
Based on the foregoing, total gross profit increased $15.5 million, or
75.6%, to $36.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, as compared to
$20.5 million for the same period in the prior year.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $7.6 million, or 65.5%, to $19.2 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $11.6 million for the same
period in the prior year. The Carlisle acquisition accounted for $4.6 million
of the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. The remaining
increase is primarily the result of an increase in employee related costs and
depreciation expense on non-rental equipment resulting from the other
acquisitions completed in 1999 and early 2000, as well as internal growth. As
a percent of total revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses
increased slightly to 19.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, as compared
to 19.0% for the same period in the prior year.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization: EBITDA (as
defined to exclude net gains on sales of used equipment) increased $14.8
million, or 86.5%, to $31.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, as
compared to $17.1 million for the same period in the prior year. EBITDA from
equipment rentals (as further defined to exclude gains on the sale of new
equipment) increased $14.5 million, or 86.8% to $31.2 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $16.7 million for the same period in the
prior year. As a percent of rental revenues, EBITDA from rental operations
increased to 34.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, as compared to 31.2%
for the same period in the prior year. This increase is due to the factors
discussed above.
16
<PAGE>
Interest Expense: Interest expense increased $9.0 million, or 93.7%, to
$18.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $9.6 million
for the same period in the prior year. This increase reflects the higher level
of borrowings outstanding attributable to the acquisitions completed in 1999
and early 2000 and the Company's continued investment in rental equipment, as
well as an increase in interest rates.
Net Loss: Net loss increased $1.3 million, or 216.7%, to a net loss of $1.9
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, as compared to a net loss of $.6
million for the same period in the prior year as a result of the factors
discussed above.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 1999
Equipment Rental Revenues: Revenues from equipment rentals increased $74.9
million, or 75.1%, to $174.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000,
as compared to $99.8 million for the same period in the prior year. This
increase was largely due to the Carlisle acquisition completed in July 1999,
which accounted for approximately $50.2 million in equipment rental revenues.
The remaining $24.7 million increase is the result of incremental revenues
generated by the other acquisitions completed during 1999 and early 2000, as
well as internal growth of the Company's existing yards. Additionally,
management has noted a recovery in the equipment rental revenues generated
from the Company's petrochemical customers.
Equipment Sales: Revenues from equipment sales increased $11.5 million, or
109.5%, to $22.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared
to $10.5 million for the same period in the prior year. The Carlisle
acquisition accounted for approximately $8.7 million of the increase.
Additionally, the Company has experienced increased activity in sales of new
equipment as well as sales through its fleet management program.
Total Revenues: Based on the foregoing, total revenues increased $86.4
million, or 78.3%, to $196.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000,
as compared to $110.3 million for the same period in the prior year.
Gross Profit: Gross profit from equipment rentals increased $28.8 million,
or 79.3%, to $65.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared
to $36.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The Carlisle
acquisition accounted for approximately $17.7 million of the increase in gross
profit from equipment rentals. As a percent of equipment rental revenues,
gross profit from equipment rentals increased from 36.4% for the six months
ended June 30, 1999, compared to 37.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
The increase is due to various cost improvement activities, including
accelerated integration of the acquisitions completed in 1999. Additionally,
the recovery of the petrochemical industry has further had a positive impact
on the gross margin percentage.
Gross profit from equipment sales increased $1.9 million, or 118.8%, to
$3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $1.6
million for the same period in the prior year. As a percent of equipment sales
revenues, gross profit from equipment sales increased to 15.9% for the six
months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to 15.2% for the same period in the
prior year.
Based on the foregoing, total gross profit increased $30.7 million, or
81.0%, to $68.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to
$37.9 million for the same period in the prior year.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $17.3 million, or 81.2%, to $38.6 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $21.3 million for the
same period in the prior year. The Carlisle acquisition accounted for $9.0
million of the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. The
remaining increase is primarily the result of an increase in employee related
costs and depreciation expense on non-rental equipment resulting from the
other acquisitions completed in 1999 and early 2000, as well as internal
growth. As a percent of total revenues, selling, general and administrative
expenses increased slightly to 19.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2000,
as compared to 19.3% for the same period in the prior year.
17
<PAGE>
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization: EBITDA (as
defined to exclude net gains on sales of used equipment) increased $27.0
million, or 85.4%, to $58.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, as
compared to $31.6 million for the same period in the prior year. EBITDA from
equipment rentals (as further defined to exclude gains on the sale of new
equipment) increased $25.0 million, or 80.4% to $56.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $31.1 million for the same period
in the prior year. As a percent of rental revenues, EBITDA from rental
operations increased to 32.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2000, as
compared to 31.2% for the same period in the prior year. The improvement in
EBITDA margin from rental operations is due to the factors discussed above.
Interest Expense: Interest expense increased $17.5 million, or 94.6%, to
$35.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $18.5
million for the same period in the prior year. This increase reflects the
higher level of borrowings outstanding attributable to the acquisitions
completed in 1999 and early 2000 and the Company's continued investment in
rental equipment, as well as an increase in interest rates.
Net Loss: Net loss increased $4.6 million, or 270.6%, to a net loss of $6.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $1.7 million
for the same period in the prior year as a result of the factors discussed
above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30,
2000 increased by $22.6 million to $23.7 million for the six months ended June
30, 2000, compared to $1.1 million for the same period in the prior year. This
increase was primarily the result of an increase in non-cash depreciation and
amortization expense as well as an increase in accounts payable during 2000.
During the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company's principal
uses of cash for investing activities were for acquisitions and capital
expenditures, including expenditures for rental equipment. Total capital
expenditures for these periods were $38.6 million and $51.7 million,
respectively. Included in these totals were expenditures for rental equipment
totaling $36.4 million and $48.4 million, respectively. These expenditures
were made to increase the Company's total investment in the rental fleet and
to replace sold used rental equipment. Cash expenditures for acquisitions
totaled $20.7 million in 2000 and $38.1 million in 1999
Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June
30, 2000 was $28.3 million, a decrease of 65.8%, compared to $82.7 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1999. The decrease in net cash provided by
financing activities was due to a decrease in net borrowings to fund
acquisitions and capital expenditures.
The Company has no long-term minimum purchase commitments for rental
equipment. Management has budgeted $35 million for net fleet capital
expenditures for 2000, exclusive of acquisitions, to be used to replace rental
equipment sold as well as increase its total investment in the fleet. In
addition to the budgeted capital expenditures, the Company is currently
considering several potential acquisitions. In the six months ended June 30,
2000 and 1999, the Company incurred approximately $1.6 million related to a
sale/leaseback transaction entered into in December 1996. This transaction
will require annual payments of approximately $3.1 million through January
2004.
In connection with the Company's recapitalization, the Company and Anthony
Crane Rental Holdings, L.P. ("Holdings"), its Parent, incurred significant
amounts of debt with interest and principal payments on the Discount
Debentures, the Senior Notes and under the Senior Credit Facilities
representing significant obligations of the Company and Holdings. Holdings'
operations are conducted through its subsidiaries and Holdings is, therefore,
dependent upon the cash flow of its subsidiaries, including the Company, to
meet its debt service obligations. The Company's liquidity needs relate to
working capital, debt service, capital expenditures and potential
acquisitions.
18
<PAGE>
The Company intends to fund its working capital, capital expenditures,
acquisitions and debt service requirements through cash flows generated from
operations and borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities. The Senior
Credit Facilities consist of a $425.0 million, non-amortizing Revolving Credit
Facility of which a net amount of $257.0 million was drawn at June 30, 2000, a
$50.0 million non-amortizing Term Loan and a $250.0 million First Priority
Term Loan. Amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility will be available on a
revolving basis during the period commencing on July 22, 1998 (the date of the
closing) and ending on the sixth anniversary of the closing.
The Senior Credit Facilities, the Senior Notes and the Discount Debentures
contain certain covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of the
Company and Holdings to: (i) make distributions, redeem partnership interests
or make certain other restricted payments or investments other than
distributions to pay taxes; (ii) incur additional indebtedness or issue
preferred equity interests; (iii) merge, consolidate or sell all or
substantially all of its assets; (iv) create liens on assets; and (v) enter
into certain transactions with affiliates or related persons. In addition, the
Senior Credit Facilities require the Company to maintain specific financial
ratios and tests, among other obligations, including a minimum interest
coverage ratio. At June 30, 2000, the Company was in full compliance with the
financial covenants and expects to remain in compliance for the foreseeable
future, including with respect to the minimum interest coverage ratio.
