1. Description of Business

   Anthony Crane Rental Holdings L.P. ("Holdings"), through Anthony Crane
Rental, L.P. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries, (collectively, the
Partnership) 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 Company provides twenty-four hour service, seven days a
week to customers principally in the United States. The Company 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 Holdings and all of its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

   The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
Holdings 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:

(1)  Net of unamortized discount on debentures of $16,350 and $18,043 at June
     30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively.

(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 Discount Debentures of $48 million were offered at an original issue
     discount of approximately $23 million. Interest on the Discount
     Debentures accretes at a rate of 13 3/8% per annum, compounded semi-
     annually to an aggregate principal amount of $48 million on August 1,
     2003. Thereafter, interest on the Discount Debentures will accrue at the
     rate of 13 3/8% per annum and will be paid semi-annually until the
     maturity date of August 1, 2009.

  The Discount Debentures are general unsecured obligations of Holdings. The
  Discount Debentures, however, are effectively subordinated indebtedness to
  all secured obligations of Holdings and all obligations of Holdings'
  subsidiaries, including borrowings under the Senior Notes and the Senior
  Credit Facilities.

  The Discount Debentures are not redeemable prior to August 1, 2003.
  Thereafter, the Discount Debentures may be redeemed by the Company at
  premium percentages ranging between approximately 107% and 102% (based on
  the year of redemption) if redeemed after August 1, 2003, but before August
  1, 2006. Subsequent

4. Long-Term Debt (continued)

  to August 1, 2006, the Discount Debentures 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 Discount Debentures originally
  issued under the Discount Debenture Indenture at a redemption price of
  approximately 113 3/8% of the accreted value, plus liquidated damages, if
  that redemption is paid for with the proceeds of an equity offering.

  The Discount Debenture 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.

(C)  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 1.50%, 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.

  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 contain 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.

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.

   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

   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.

   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.

8. Contingencies (continued)


   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 excess of $11 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 lawsuit was amended to include a claim that the Company committed fraud in
connection with the proposed acquisition. 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 Holdings, the
Company and Guarantor Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999,
the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2000 and 1999 and cash flows for the six month periods 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. Equity-Preferred and Common Units

   Holdings has six classes of partnership units: (i) Class A Preferred (ii)
Class B Preferred (iii) Class L Common (iv) Class A Common (v) Class B Common
and (vi) Class C Common. Upon liquidation or distribution of capital assets
(including cash), the Class A Preferred Unitholders and Class B Preferred
Unitholders are entitled to receive a pro rata preferential distribution equal
to an 11% annual return, compounded quarterly, on their unreturned capital
contributions. In addition, the Class A Preferred Unitholders and Class B
Preferred Unitholders have a liquidation preference on their unreturned
capital contributions prior to any distributions made to Class L, Class A,
Class B or Class C Common Unitholders. As of June 30, 2000 and December 31,
1999, the cumulative unpaid preferred yield was approximately $7,792 and
$5,031, respectively.

   Upon satisfaction of the Class A Preferred and Class B Preferred cumulative
unpaid yield and the liquidation preference of the capital contribution of
Preferred Unitholders, the Class L Common Unitholders are entitled to receive
a preferential distribution equal to a 12% annual return, compounded quarterly
on their original investment of $36.9 million. In addition, the Class L Common
Unitholders have a liquidation preference on their unreturned capital
contributions prior to any dividends or distributions to the Class A, Class B
or Class C Common Unitholders. As of June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the
cumulative unpaid yield on the Class L Common was approximately $9,511 and
$6,847, respectively.

   Upon satisfaction of the aggregate liquidation preferences of both Class A
Preferred and Class B Preferred and Class L Common Unitholders, any remaining
distributions will be made ratably among the Class L and Class A Common
Unitholders, and to the extent certain cash distribution and vesting tests are
met, the Class B and Class C Common Unitholders.

11. Operating Segment Information (continued)

   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.

   The table below presents information about reported segments for the three
months and six months ended June 30, 2000:

ITEM 2.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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.

                                      17
<PAGE>

   Interest Expense: Interest expense increased $9.0 million, or 85.7%, to
$19.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $10.5
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 $1.3 million, or 86.7%, to a net loss of $2.8
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $1.5 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.

                                      18
<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 86.6%, to
$37.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $20.2
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 $4.5 million, or 128.6%, to a net loss of $8.0
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $3.5 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 Holdings
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.

                                      19
<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.

 Forward Looking Statements

   This report may contain forward-looking statements that are based on
current expectations, estimates and projections about the industries in which
the Company operates, management's beliefs and assumptions made by management.
Words such as "expects", "anticipates", "intends", "plans", "believes",
"estimates" and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended
to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, and are subject to the safe harbor created thereby.
These statements are based on a number of assumptions that could ultimately
prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that such
statements will prove to be accurate. Factors which could affect actual future
results include the developments relating to the state and local sales and use
tax audit and other claims related to investigations or lawsuits. Such factors
also include the possibility that increased demand or prices for the Company's
services may not occur or continue, changing economic and competitive
conditions, technological risks and other risks, changing governmental
regulations (including environmental rules and regulations) and other risks
and uncertainties, including those detailed in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not undertake to publicly
update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.
