Note 2 -- Net Income Per Common and Common Equivalent Share
- -----------------------------------
      Earnings per  share were computed based on the weighted average number of 
common and common equivalent shares outstanding of 12,224,000 and 12,093,000 for 
the three month periods ended August 31, 1995 and August 31, 1994. On July 13, 
1995 the Board of Directors declared a three-for-two stock split to be 
distributed August 18, 1995 to shareholders of record on July 31,1995.  Earnings 
per share and shares outstanding have been restated to give retroactive effect 
to the stock split.

Note 3 -- Interest and Income Taxes Paid
- -------------------------------------------
      Total interest paid during the three month periods ended August 31, 1995 
and August 31, 1994 was $612,000 and $336,000, respectively.  Total income taxes 
paid during the three month period ended August 31, 1995 was $3,946,000 compared 
with $2,467,000 during the comparable prior year period.
 
Note 4 -- Noncash Investing and Financing Activities
- -------------------------------------------------------
      The Company had acquired equipment totaling $9,581,000 and $10,143,000 as 
of August 31, 1995 and May 31, 1995, respectively, which was paid for during 
subsequent quarters.  

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 August 31, 
1995 investment in sales-type leases of $2,265,000 net of deferred interest of 
$66,000 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 purchase price, based on 
Genstar's audited Net Worth at September 30, 1995, was $23.2 million, and 
consisted of cash and assumed debt.
      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.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and   
                  Results of Operations                                
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
- ----------------------------
     Total revenues increased 24% to $34,361,000 for the three month period  
ended August 31, 1995, over the same period last year, due to a 29% increase in 
rental and lease revenues and a 3% increase in sales and other revenues.  The 
increase in rental and lease revenues is due primarily to inclusion of Genstar's 
operations since its acquisition on September 30, 1994, and increases in average 
equipment utilization and rental yield.  The increase in sales of equipment 
related to Genstar was partially offset by a reduction in equipment available 
for sale resulting from the higher utilization.
     Depreciation expense increased 20% primarily as a result of the Genstar 
acquisition, but improved utilization kept the growth rate lower than that of 
rental and lease revenues.  Costs of revenues other than depreciation increased 
18% primarily due to the Genstar acquisition and higher parts expense.  Selling, 
general and administrative expenses increased 11% to $9,388,000, again as a 
result of the Genstar acquisition, although the rate of increase was less than 
that for revenues because of efficiencies gained by the integration of Genstar's 
operations.  For example, numerous duplicate facilities and functions were 
eliminated shortly after the acquisition.
     Interest expense increased 82% to $612,000 for the quarter, reflecting 
borrowings to finance the Genstar acquisition and higher interest rates.  As a 
result of the foregoing, net income increased 48% to $5,254,000 for the three 
months ended August 31, 1995, over the same period last year.


Financial Condition and Liquidity
- -----------------------------------
     During the first three months of fiscal 1996, net cash provided by 
operating activities was $13,729,000, compared to $11,567,000 for the same 
period last year.  This increase can be substantially attributed to increased 
net income plus depreciation.  Net cash used in investing activities remained 
about the same in the current fiscal quarter, as compared to same quarter last 
year.  Net cash used in financing activities increased 20% to $4,787,000, as a 
result of paying down bank borrowings to a greater extent this year compared to 
last.  
     The Company expects cash flows as recorded in the first quarter to continue 
at approximately the same levels for the rest of the fiscal year, if the 
Company's average equipment utilization and rental yield remain at the record 
levels reached near the end of the first quarter.   While this portends well for 
succeeding periods, the Company must continue to purchase substantial amounts of 
new product to meet customers' demands for technologically current equipment.
