             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                (UNAUDITED)

Note 1 -- Basis of Presentation
- -----------------------------------
      The unaudited consolidated financial statements are condensed and do
not contain all information required by generally accepted accounting
principles to be included in a full set of financial statements.  The
condensed consolidated financial statements include Electro Rent Corporation
and the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated.  The information furnished reflects
all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair
statement of the financial position and the results of operations of the
Company.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Note 2 -- Net Income per Share
- -----------------------------------
      Earnings per common share were computed based on the weighted average
number of shares outstanding of 7,844,639 and 7,828,481 in the three month
periods ended November 30, 1994 and November 30, 1993, and 7,834,928 and
7,828,234 in the six month periods ended November 30, 1994 and November 30,
1993, respectively.

Note 3 -- Interest and Income Taxes Paid
- -------------------------------------------
      Total interest paid during the six month periods ended November 30, 1994
and November 30, 1993 was $1,256,000 and $1,096,000, respectively.  Total
income taxes paid during the six month period ended November 30, 1994 was
$4,744,000 compared with $5,008,000 during the comparable prior year period.

Note 4 -- Noncash Investing and Financing Activities
- -------------------------------------------------------
      The Company had acquired equipment totaling $15,009,000 and $9,763,000 as
of November 30, 1994 and May 31, 1994, respectively, which was paid for during
subsequent quarters.  All cash flows are net of the effects from the purchase
of a subsidiary on September 30, 1994.

Note 5 -- Capital Leases
- ----------------------------
      The Company has certain customer leases providing bargain purchase
options with a portion of lease revenue deferred until option exercise.
At November 30, 1994 investment in sales-type leases of $1,302,000 net of
deferred interest of $81,000 is included in other assets.  Interest income
is recognized over the life of the lease using the interest method.

Note 6 -- Acquisition
- ----------------------------
      On September 30, 1994, the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock
of Genstar Rental Electronics, Inc. (Genstar), a privately-held company engaged
in the business of renting, leasing and selling computers, workstations and
general purpose test and measurement equipment.  The initial purchase price
based on Genstar's estimated Net Worth at September 30, 1994, was $9.2 million,
payable in cash. Additionally, the Company made cash payments of $15.2 million
at closing to retire Genstar's outstanding debt.  The purchase price is subject
to adjustment as a result of an audit of Net Worth to be completed within 120
days of closing.  Based on the unaudited Net Worth at September 30, 1994, the
Company acquired assets with a fair value of $29.1 million and assumed
                                  --   Page 6  --
<PAGE>
liabilities of $19.8 million.  Financing for the transaction was achieved
through additional short-term borrowings under Electro Rent's existing line
of credit.

      The acquisition has been accounted for by the purchase method and,
accordingly, the results of operations of Genstar have been included with those
of the Company since the date of acquisition.  The purchase price based on
unaudited Net Worth resulted in an excess of acquisition costs over net assets
acquired of approximately $100,000.  Such excess (which will increase or
decrease based on the audit of Net Worth) and acquired intangibles of $4.3
million are being amortized on a straight-line basis over twenty years.  The
following unaudited pro forma summary for the six month periods ended November
30, 1994 and 1993, combines the consolidated results of operations of the
Company and Genstar as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the
respective fiscal years after giving effect to certain adjustments, including
amortization of goodwill, depreciation charges, estimated changes in interest
expense due to debt retirement and acquisition debt, and related income tax
effects.  The pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes
only and do not purport to indicate the results of operations which would
actually have occurred had the combination been in effect on the  dates
indicated, or which may occur in the future.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
                  Results of Operations
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
- ----------------------------
     Total revenues increased by 12% to $30,751,000 for the three month period
ended November 30, 1994, as compared to the same period last year, due to an
18% increase in rental and lease revenue, which was partially offset by a 9%
decrease in sales and other revenues.  For the six months ended November 30,
1994 total revenues increased by 6% to $58,539,000, as a result of 11% higher
rental and lease revenue, which was partially offset by 11% lower sales and
other revenues, as compared to the same period last year.   Net income
increased by 26% to $3,648,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 when
compared with $2,890,000 for the same period last year.

     The acquisition of Genstar on September 30, 1994 impacted average monthly
revenues by approximately $1,500,000 for the last two months of the second
quarter.  Due to its previous cost structure being largely intact, net income
was at breakeven. The cost savings of the Genstar consolidation are expected to
become apparent in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 1995.

     For both the three and six months periods ended November 30, 1994, there
have been significant increases in rentals of personal computers and
workstations, and test and measurement equipment rentals have increased
modestly.  Reductions in defense spending continue to negatively impact the
overall test and measurement equipment market; however, the Company's market
share has expanded.  Equipment sales have decreased by 11% for the quarter and
14% year to date as compared to the same periods last year due primarily to the
wind down of the TRW leasing program, higher rental utilization, and a
continuing shift in equipment pool to PCs and workstations, which have lower
residual values.  Sales and other revenues decreased from $6,277,000 to
$5,713,000 for the three months ended November 30, 1994 and from $12,626,000 to
$11,277,000 for the six months then ended.  Costs of revenues other than
depreciation for the three and six month periods ended November 30, 1994
decreased by 2% and 5%, respectively, when compared to the comparable prior
year periods. The decreases result from lower equipment sales, which was
partially offset by higher parts expense.  Gross profit on sales improved due
to higher sale prices on older test and measurement equipment and improved
margins on workstations resulting from shorter depreciable lives.  Interest
expense increased by 20% for the second quarter and decreased by 12% for the
first six months of fiscal 1995 from the comparable periods of the prior year.
Interest rates were higher for the three and six month periods of fiscal 1995,
and bank borrowings were lower until the September 30, 1994 acquisition, when
$25 million of additional bank borrowings were required.

Financial Condition and Liquidity
- -----------------------------------
     During the first six months of fiscal 1995, net cash provided by operating
activities was $18,196,000 as compared with $18,308,000 in the same period of
fiscal 1994, primarily reflecting cash flow improvements related to higher net
income.  Net cash  used in investing activities increased by 141% from
$10,203,000 to $24,588,000, reflecting the purchase of Genstar, increased
purchases of rental and lease equipment, and lower sales proceeds.  As a
result, during the six months ended November 30, 1994, the Company increased
short-term bank borrowings by $20,000,000.
                                  --   Page 8  --
<PAGE>
     With the expected continued growth in rentals of personal computers,
workstations, and test and measurement equipment, the Company is projecting
purchases of equipment to remain higher than last year.  However, cash flow
provided by operating activities is expected to improve during the remainder of
the year, as Genstar consolidation savings are realized, resulting in a
reduction of bank borrowings.
