                   Report of Independent Public Accountants
                   ----------------------------------------



To the Board of Directors of
   Carlisle Construction Co.:


     We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of CARLISLE
CONSTRUCTION CO., INC. and Carlisle Investments, Inc. (Kentucky corporations) as
of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related combined statements of income,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended and the nine month
period ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the combined financial position of Carlisle
Construction Co., Inc. and Carlisle Investments, Inc. as of December 31, 1998
and 1997, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years
then ended and the nine month period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                     Notes to Combined Financial Statements

                 For the Years Ended December 31, 1998 and 1997
                And the Nine Month Period Ended December 31, 1996




(1)    Basis of Presentation-
       ---------------------
       In March 1996, in contemplation of an S-Corporation election (Note 3),
       Carlisle Enterprises, Inc. (Enterprises) was merged into its wholly-owned
       subsidiary, Carlisle Construction Co., Inc. (Construction). Concurrent
       with this merger, Carlisle Investments, Inc. (Investments), an
       S-Corporation controlled by the majority shareholder of Enterprises, was
       formed along with five limited liability companies (LLC's). The LLC's are
       owned 99% by Construction and 1% by Investments. The five preexisting
       subsidiaries of Enterprises were then merged into their respective newly
       formed LLC's. As a result of the formation of Investments and the related
       reorganization, Investments and Construction own and control all
       companies which prior to March 31, 1996 were wholly-owned subsidiaries of
       Enterprises. The reorganization did not result in any changes to the
       preexisting carrying values of the enterprise's net assets, liabilities
       and equity.


(2)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies-
       ------------------------------------------

       (a)    Principles of Combination--The accompanying financial statements
              -------------------------
              include the combined results of Construction and Investments (the
              Company). All significant intercompany transactions and balances
              have been eliminated in the accompanying combined financial
              statements.

       (b)    Business Activities--The Company is principally engaged in the
              -------------------
              rental, sales and service of construction equipment, the
              transportation of bulk cargo within inland rivers as well as
              contracting for excavation, demolition and certain other
              construction work. The Company conducts business primarily with
              other companies associated with or involved in the construction,
              energy and transportation industries. Terms of sale with these
              customers are generally on open account and unsecured.

       (c)    Percentage-of-Completion Method of Accounting for Construction
              --------------------------------------------------------------
              Contracts--The Company recognizes revenues under long-term
              ---------
              excavation and construction contracts using the
              percentage-of-completion method for financial reporting purposes.
              The percentage-of-completion is determined by relating costs
              incurred on work performed to the total estimated contract costs.
              As some contracts extend over one or more years, revisions in
              estimates during the course of the work are reflected in the
              accounting period in which the facts which require the revision
              become known. At the time a loss on a contract becomes known, the
              entire amount of the estimated loss is recognized.

              Operating expenses are charged to expense as incurred.

       (d)    Property and Equipment--The Company provides for depreciation of
              ----------------------
              its property and equipment using the straight-line method for
              financial reporting purposes.

              The estimated lives of the various classes of assets are as
              follows:

                                                                   Years
                                                                ----------
                     Land improvements                           15 to 30
                     Buildings and improvements                   2 to 40
                     Construction equipment:

                     River equipment                              4 to 20
                     Furniture and fixtures                       4 to  8

              Expenditures for repairs and maintenance of property and equipment
              are charged to expense as incurred.

       (e)    Equipment Held for Sale--New and used equipment held for sale is
              -----------------------
              recorded at cost (net of applicable depreciation, if any) which is
              less than the market value of the equipment. The components of
              equipment held for sale at December 31, 1998 and 1997 are as
              follows:

              --------
              straight-line method over an estimated life of 15 years.

       (h)    Advertising--The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.

              Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997
              and the nine month period ended December 31, 1996 was
              approximately $418,000, $484,000 and $318,000, respectively.

       (i)    Use of Estimates--The preparation of financial statements in
              ----------------
              conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
              management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
              reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
              contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
              statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
              during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
              those estimates.

       (j)    Like-Kind Exchange--Commencing in 1996, the Company initiated a
              ------------------
              program to sell/exchange assets through the utilization of a third
              party intermediary. Accordingly, gains resulting from these
              transactions are recognized for financial reporting purposes only
              and approximated $2,854,000, $5,100,000 and $1,100,000 for the
              years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the nine month period
              ended December 31, 1996, respectively.

              ----

       (l)    Marketable Securities--Marketable securities consist primarily of
              ---------------------
              domestic equity securities. The Company classifies all marketable
              securities as available for sale. Accordingly, these securities
              are recorded at market value as determined by published yearend
              market quotes and unrealized holding gains and losses are included
              as a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized.
              Realized gains and losses are included in earnings upon the sale
              of a marketable security and are calculated based upon the
              proceeds received less the original cost. These net gains were
              nominal for each of the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 and
              the nine month period ended December 31, 1996.

       (m)    Litigation--The Company is subject to various claims, lawsuits,
              ----------
              and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of
              business. The Company believes that any liability that may be
              finally determined will not have a material effect on its
              financial position or results of operations.

       (n)    New Accounting Pronouncements--In 1998, the Company adopted
              -----------------------------
              Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting
              Comprehensive Income", which established standards for reporting
              and displaying comprehensive income and its components in a
              financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as
              other financial statements. The Company has chosen to disclose
              comprehensive income, which encompasses net income and unrealized
              appreciation on marketable securities, in the combined statements
              of stockholders' equity.

              In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
              Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
              Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133). This statement established
              accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative
              instrument (including certain derivative instruments imbedded in
              other contracts) be recorded on the balance sheet as either an
              asset or liability measured at its fair value. This statement
              requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized
              currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria
              are met. SFAS 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
              June 15, 1999. Upon adoption of this statement, the Company
              anticipates no impact on its reported combined financial position,
              results of operations, cash flows or related disclosures.

       (o)    Reclassifications--Certain reclassifications have been made to the
              -----------------
              prior years' financial statements to conform with the 1998
              presentation.

(3)    Income Taxes-
       ------------
       Effective April 1, 1996, the Company elected for federal and state income
       tax purposes to include its taxable income with that of its stockholders
       (an S Corporation election). Accordingly, subsequent to March 31, 1996,
       net income reported annually by the Company does not include a provision
       for federal and state income tax which would otherwise be included in the
       determination of net income.
<PAGE>

       The benefit for income taxes includes the following components for the
       nine month period ended December 31, 1996:

       Taxes associated with S Corporation conversion:

           Estimated built in gains tax associated
            with the conversion to S Corporation status       $ 2,691,633

            taxes which will pass through to the stockholders  (8,464,375)
           Other                                                   69,000
                                                              ------------
                                                              $(5,703,742)
                                                              ============

       The deferred income taxes reflected in the accompanying combined balance
       sheets represent estimated tax liabilities of the Company for certain
       potential asset disposals subsequent to March 31, 1996. Given the built
       in gains tax is applicable to certain asset disposals through March 31,
       2006, revisions to the estimated tax liability will be reflected in the
       accounting period in which the facts which require the revision become
       known.

       Deferred taxes associated with the Company's operations result from,
       among others, different depreciation methods used for financial reporting
       and tax purposes as well as differences in the reporting of certain
       income and expense items. In the event that the S Corporation election is
       terminated, federal and state deferred tax liabilities applicable to
       these reporting differences would be reflected in the accompanying
       financial statements.

       The components of retained earnings at December 31, 1998 and 1997 are
       summarized as follows:

                                                     1998              1997

              Unrestricted retained earnings       24,075,384       23,582,292

                                                  ===========      ===========

       As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company has paid and or accrued
       distributions of $2,241,329 and $3,859,601, respectively to fund
       estimated stockholder tax liabilities associated with the Company's 1998
       and 1997 taxable income.

(5)   Employee Retirement Plans-
      -------------------------

      The Company has a profit sharing plan which covers substantially all of
      its salaried and hourly employees not eligible for union pension
      contributions. The Company matches employee contributions made (not to
      exceed 3% of an employee's compensation). The Company may also make
      contributions to the plan in each year as determined by the Board of
      Directors. There were no such contributions in 1998, 1997 or 1996.

      years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the nine month period ended
      December 31, 1996 were approximately $332,000, $313,000 and $226,000,
      respectively. The plan provides for payments to eligible employees upon
      retirement, disability or vested termination to be distributed in a lump
      sum payment.

      Certain of the entities are also contributors to the Teamsters and
      Operating Engineers Benefit Funds which provide health and welfare
      benefits, as well as payments to union employees upon retirement or
      disability. Contributions to the plans are based on the number of hours
      worked for operating engineers and on a standard weekly amount for
      Teamsters. Such contributions aggregated approximately $1,577,000,

(7)   Investment in Joint Venture-
      ----------------------------

      Commencing in March 1996, the Company was a 50% partner in a joint venture
      formed to acquire and maintain a corporate aircraft. Prior to October 31,
      1997, the Company accounted for its investment in the joint venture using
      the equity method of accounting.

      On October 31, 1997, the Company acquired the remaining 50% interest in
      the joint venture. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase
      method of accounting. Accordingly, the net assets of the joint venture
      have been recorded in the combined financial statements of the Company at
      their estimated fair market value at the acquisition date. The following
      summarizes the components of the purchase price and the related allocation
      to assets acquired:

                    Notes to Combined Financial Statements

            For the Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 1999 and 1998
                                  (UNAUDITED)




(1)  Basis of Presentation-
     ---------------------

     In March 1996, in contemplation of an S-Corporation election (Note 3),
     Carlisle Enterprises, Inc. (Enterprises) was merged into its wholly-owned
     subsidiary, Carlisle Construction Co., Inc. (Construction). Concurrent with
     this merger, Carlisle Investments, Inc. (Investments), an S-Corporation
     controlled by the majority shareholder of Enterprises, was formed along
     with five limited liability companies (LLC's). The LLC's are owned 99% by
     Construction and 1% by Investments. The five preexisting subsidiaries of
     Enterprises were then merged into their respective newly formed LLC's. As a
     result of the formation of Investments and the related reorganization,
     Investments and Construction own and control all companies which prior to
     March 31, 1996 were wholly-owned subsidiaries of Enterprises. The
     reorganization did not result in any changes to the preexisting carrying
     values of the enterprise's net assets, liabilities and equity.



(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies-
     ------------------------------------------

     (a)  Principles of Combination--The accompanying financial statements
          -------------------------
          include the combined results of Construction and Investments (the
          Company). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have
          been eliminated in the accompanying financial statements.

     (b)  Business Activities--The Company is principally engaged in the rental,
          -------------------
          sales and service of construction equipment, the transportation of
          bulk cargo within inland rivers as well as contracting for excavation,
          demolition and certain other construction work. The Company conducts
          business primarily with other companies associated with or involved in
          the construction, energy and transportation industries. Terms of sale
          with these customers are generally on open account and unsecured.

                                      -2-

     (c)  Percentage-of-Completion Method of Accounting for Construction
          --------------------------------------------------------------
          Contracts--The Company recognizes revenues under long-term excavation
          ---------
          and construction contracts using the percentage-of-completion method
          for financial reporting purposes. The percentage-of-completion is
          determined by relating costs incurred on work performed to the total
          estimated contract costs. As some contracts extend over one or more
          years, revisions in estimates during the course of the work are
          reflected in the accounting period in which the facts which require
          the revision become known. At the time a loss on a contract becomes
          known, the entire amount of the estimated loss is recognized.

          Operating expenses are charged to expense as incurred.

     (d)  Property and Equipment--The Company provides for depreciation of its
          ----------------------
          property and equipment using the straight-line method for financial
          reporting purposes.

          The estimated lives of the various classes of assets are as follows:

                                                                     Years
                                                                     -----

                  Land improvements                                 15 to 30
                  Buildings and improvements                         2 to 40
                  Construction equipment:
                        Cranes and hoists                            8 to 22
                        Excavation equipment and other               4 to  5
                  River equipment                                    4 to 20
                  Furniture and fixtures                             4 to  8

          Expenditures for repairs and maintenance of property and equipment are
          charged to expense as incurred.

     (e)  Equipment Held for Sale--New and used equipment held for sale is
          -----------------------
          recorded at cost (net of applicable depreciation, if any) which is
          less than the market value of the equipment. The components of
          equipment held for sale at June 30, 1999 are as follows:


                                                   June 30, 1999
                                                   -------------

          Cost                                      $ 6,769,034
          Accumulated depreciation                   (2,257,716)
                                                    ------------
                                                    $ 4,511,318

                                      -3-

     (f)  Parts and Work-in-Process Inventory--Parts inventories are stated at
          -----------------------------------
          first in first out costs which are less than market.

     (g)  Goodwill--Amortization of goodwill is determined using the
          --------
          straight-line method over an estimated life of 15 years.

     (h)  Advertising--The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.
          -----------

     (i)  Use of Estimates--The preparation of financial statements in
          ----------------
          conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
          management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
          amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
          and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
          reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
          Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     (j)  Like-Kind Exchange--Commencing in 1996, the Company initiated a
          ------------------
          program to sell/exchange assets through the utilization of a third
          party intermediary. Gains resulting from these transactions are
          recognized for financial reporting purposes only.

     (k)  Cash--Cash includes operating cash, money market and common bank
          ----
          accounts.

     (l)  Marketable Securities--Marketable securities consist primarily of
          ---------------------
          domestic equity securities. The Company classifies all marketable
          securities as available for sale. Accordingly, these securities are
          recorded at market value as determined by published yearend market
          quotes and unrealized holding gains and losses are included as a
          separate component of stockholders' equity until realized. Realized
          gains and losses are included in earnings upon the sale of a
          marketable security and are calculated based upon the proceeds
          received less the original cost.

     (m)  Litigation--The Company is subject to various claims, lawsuits, and
          ----------
          administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.
          The Company believes that any liability that may be finally determined
          will not have a material effect on its financial position or results
          of operations.

     (n)  New Accounting Pronouncements--In 1998, the Company adopted Statement
          -----------------------------
          of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
          Income", which established standards for reporting and displaying
          comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement that
          is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.
          The Company has chosen to disclose comprehensive income, which
          encompasses net income and unrealized appreciation on marketable
          securities, in the combined statements of stockholders' equity.

                                      -4-

          In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
          Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
          Activities" (SFAS 133). This statement established accounting and
          reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument
          (including certain derivative instruments imbedded in other contracts)
          be recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability
          measured at its fair value. This statement requires that changes in
          the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless
          specific hedge accounting criteria are met. SFAS 133 is effective for
          fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Upon adoption of this
          statement, the Company anticipates no impact on its reported
          consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or
          related discourses.

     (o)  Reclassifications--Certain reclassifications have been made to the
          -----------------
          prior years' financial statements to conform with the 1998
          presentation.

     (p)  Interim Financial Statements--The accompanying interim financial
          ----------------------------
          statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of
          the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain
          information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
          principles for complete financial statements have been omitted.

          The information contained herein reflect all normal and recurring
          adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the
          six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.


(3)  Income Taxes-
     ------------

     Effective April 1, 1996, the Company elected for federal and state income
     tax purposes to include its taxable income with that of its stockholders
     (an S Corporation election). Accordingly, subsequent to March 31, 1996, net
     income reported annually by the Company does not include a provision for
     federal and state income tax which would otherwise be included in the
     determination of net income.

     The deferred income taxes reflected in the accompanying combined balance
     sheets represent estimated tax liabilities of the Company for certain
     potential asset disposals subsequent to March 31, 1996. Given the built in
     gains tax is applicable to certain asset disposals through March 31, 2006,
     revisions to the estimated tax liability will be reflected in the
     accounting period in which the facts which require the revision become
     known.

     Deferred taxes associated with the Company's operations result from, among
     others, different depreciation methods used for financial reporting and tax
     purposes as well as differences in the reporting of certain income and
     expense

(4)  Development Activities-
     ----------------------

     During 1998 and 1997, the Company invested approximately $9,720,000 and
     $5,300,000, respectively, in a real estate development project in Northern
     Kentucky. In December 1998, the project, as originally designed, was
     abandoned.

     In conjunction with this project, the Company acquired certain land, rental
     properties, and other tangible development assets. The costs associated
     with these purchases are included at their estimated net realizable values
     in the "development properties and other" caption of the accompanying
     combined balance sheets as follows:

</TABLE>

     For the periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company expensed
     approximately $27,000 and $1,718,000, respectively, related to this
     development project. These expenses, which are included in loss from
     development activities in the accompanying combined statements of income,
     consist primarily of architectural, planning and design costs, a provision
     to establish asset impairment reserves against certain properties and other
     tangible development costs. Revisions to the valuation allowances, if any,
     will be recorded in the period in which the facts which require the
     revision become known.

                   UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     The following unaudited pro forma financial information of Anthony Crane
Rental Holdings, L.P. (Holdings) has been prepared to give effect to the
acquisition of substantially all assets and assumption of substantially
all liabilities and obligations relating to the operations of Carlisle
Construction Co., Inc and its subsidiaries (Carlisle) as more fully
discussed below.

     The Carlisle Acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting pursuant to which the purchase price at closing was allocated
to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities assumed based on their
estimated fair values.  The purchase price allocations are preliminary.
Final allocations will be made based upon valuations and other studies that
have not been completed but are not expected to differ significantly from
those presented herein.  See Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet.

     The pro forma adjustments presented are based upon available information
and include certain assumptions and adjustments that Holdings believes are
reasonable under the circumstances.  These adjustments are directly attributable
to the transaction referenced above and are expected to have a continuing impact
on Holdings' business, results of operations and financial condition.

     The historical condensed consolidated balance sheet of Holdings as of
June 30, 1999 and the historical condensed consolidated statement of operations
of Holdings for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were derived from the
unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Holdings
included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended
June 30, 1999.  The historical condensed consolidated statement of operations
of Holdings for the year ended December 31, 1998 was derived from the
audited consolidated financial statements of Holdings included in its
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet of
Holdings as of June 30, 1999 gives effect to the Carlisle Acquisition as if
it occurred on June 30, 1999.  The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
statements of operations of Holdings for the six month period ended June 30,
1999 and the year ended December 31, 1998 gives effect to the Carlisle
Acquisition as if it occurred on January 1, 1998.

     The unaudited pro forma financial information and related notes are
provided for informational purposes only and do not necessarily reflect (i)
the results of operations or financial condition of Holdings that would have
actually resulted had the events referred to above or in the notes to the
unaudited pro forma financial information been

consummated as of the dates indicated and are not intended to project Holdings'
financial condition or results of operations for any future period.

     The unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in
conjunction with Holdings' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1998 and with Holdings' Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 1999.

(3)  Represents the estimated write-up in fair market value of parts and
     work-in-process inventory and equipment held for sale in connection with
     the purchase price allocation. The fair market value was estimated by
     management by applying an 11% gross margin to the book value ($8,048) and
     using 5% for selling costs.

(4)  The purchaser and seller estimated fair market value of property and
     equipment in connection with the purchase price allocation to approximate
     book value in light of significant recent purchases thereby resulting in no
     write-up to book value.

(5)  Represents debt issuance costs incurred ($12,500) in connection with the
     new financing obtained for the acquisitions.

(6)  Represents the repayment of Carlisle's indebtedness under the existing
     credit agreement ($66,079), the assumption of capital leases ($872),
     the incurrence of new debt in the amount of $171,973 ($156,473 for purchase
     consideration and $15,500 for debt issuance costs ($12,500) and acquisition
     related fees ($3,000)), and preferred stock issued in the amount of
     $20,000, which together were used to finance the transaction.

(7)  Represents the elimination of Carlisle's historical net assets in
     connection with purchase accounting.
