A MESSAGE 
TO OUR 
SHAREHOLDERS
- ------------

Robert P. McGrath
Dennis C. Kakures

     Over the last several years we have talked about the real inner strength 
of the Company.  In 1995 we instituted a program we call Exemplary Customer 
Service (ECS).  Our Credo, developed and pledged by our staff reads:

          I will, as a team member of McGrath, embrace our customers'
          needs, and deliver exemplary service to earn customer loyalty.

          I will do this by:

            - focusing on doing things right the first time
            - providing the utmost attention to detail, and
            - always doing what I say I am going to do, with integrity.

     Each of our offices conducts series of short meetings wherein our staff
acknowledges those peers who have performed beyond the call of duty, either in
the service of our customers or in the improvement of our product.  This program
has become much more than lip service; it is becoming an integral part of the
McGrath way of doing business.

     A year ago we cautioned that our record results were impacted positively by
the 1994 Northridge earthquake, and that it would be difficult to make up those
earnings in 1995.  We are pleased that total revenues for 1995 increased 4% over
1994 to $71,273,000, net income increased 6% to $13,843,000, and net income per
share increased 10% to $1.71 per share.  Once again this was the best year in
our history.

     Cash flow continues strong.  Rental assets increased by $7,713,000,
improvements increased by $5,796,000, dividends paid were $3,768,000 and stock
repurchased was $7,374,000 while our debt increased by only $1,130,000.

     Last year we discussed our purchase of Rentelco three years earlier, and
how that fits in with our philosophy--good people in a good working environment
produce the best results.  1995 was again an excellent year for Rentelco.

     This year we want to discuss Enviroplex.  Several years ago we funded this
startup company which wanted to make a contribution as a manufacturer of
portable classrooms.  In January 1995, we converted our note to a 73% ownership
interest and the results are now part of our consolidated financial statements. 
President Joe Sublett has done an excellent job and brings a wealth of
manufacturing know-how to Enviroplex.  We like to think that Joe produces the
best portable classrooms in the industry and his repeat customers tend to
confirm this position.  The head of the General Services Administration singled
out a "School Project of the Future" produced by a private contractor.  That
award-winning project had classrooms provided by Enviroplex.  This same
philosophy of good people and a good working environment has again produced good
results.

     Our business strategy calls for creating facility capabilities that our
competitors cannot duplicate.  This will enable us to quickly and efficiently
modify buildings to meet our customer's needs.  Our goal is to be more
responsive at less expense.  There is solid progress. Our new Houston facility
came on line in June 1995; we plan to move into our new Southern California
facility by the time you receive this report; the move to our new Northern
California facility is scheduled for the end of 1996.  Our new computer based
relational database programs that control our internal operations are about 70%
operational.

     Executing these operational plans requires dedication, a willingness to
embrace change and painstaking work.  As we said last year, shareholders like to
hear about pizzazz and we are serving up bricks, mortar and computers.  However,
we continue to emphasize that our long-term success lies in our ability to
provide a better service to our customers with our per transaction cost less
than that of our competitors. We continue to look for investment opportunities
in related areas.

     After the California school bond issue failed to pass in 1994, the money
for classroom modernization programs slowed down. On March 26, 1996, California
voters passed a 3 billion dollar bond measure.  A certain amount will be spent
on modernization programs and we are looking forward to participating in this
business.

     Given our strong balance sheet and cash flow and our prospects for 1996, we
are increasing our next quarterly dividend to $0.14 per share.

Sincerely,



  /s/ Robert P. McGrath                   /s/ Dennis C. Kakures

     P.S.  In his first year as President, Dennis Kakures has more than met our
expectations.  His thirteen years with the Company have prepared him well.  He
brings energy and persistence to the development and marketing of our products,
to the streamlining of our operations and the development of our management. 
The results are already visible.

and sales operations of electronic instruments from its Northern California 
branch office and telecommunications test equipment from its Dallas, Texas 
branch office.

     In January 1995, the Company converted a $300,000 note receivable to a 
73.2% ownership interest in Enviroplex, Inc.  Enviroplex, Inc. manufactures 
portable classrooms built to the requirements of the California Division of 
the State Architect ("DSA") and sells primarily to school districts.

     The Company has 252 employees.  The operational compatibility between 
the two rental product lines results in the efficient use of overhead.

     No single customer of either product line has accounted for more than 10%
of the Company's total revenues generated in any given year.  Our business is
not seasonal, except for the rental of classrooms, which is heaviest in the
several months prior to the opening of school each fall.

     We are a company with a marketing sense throughout.  We are constantly
searching for ways both to streamline our service and to raise the quality of
each relocatable office or instrument we rent.  We are not only renting
products, we are selling an old-fashioned idea:  Paying attention to our
customers pays off.

RELOCATABLE MODULAR OFFICES
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Relocatable modular offices are designed for use as temporary office 
space and may be towed from one location to another.  Offices vary from 
simple single-unit construction site offices to attractive multi-module 
facilities, complete with wood exteriors and mansard roofs. The rental fleet 
includes a full range of styles and sizes.  We consider our relocatable 
offices to be among the most attractive and well designed available.  The 
units are constructed with wood siding which are sturdily built and 
physically capable of a useful life often exceeding 18 years.  Units are 
provided with installed heat, air conditioning, lighting, electricity and 
floor covering, and may have customized interiors including partitioning, 
carpeting, cabinetwork and plumbing facilities.

     The market for relocatable modular offices is broad.  Businesses which 
have a need for additional space and have adjacent land or a parking lot are 
potential customers.  Our largest single demand is for temporary classrooms.  
We believe the demand for classrooms is caused by shifting and fluctuating 
school populations, the lack of state funds for new construction, and the 
need for temporary classroom space during reconstruction of older schools.  
Other applications include sales offices, administrative offices for health 
care facilities, universities and museums.  Large multi-modular complexes are 
used by the aerospace, energy and utility industries, and governmental 
agencies.  Our branch offices, as well as our corporate office, are housed in 
various sizes of relocatable buildings.

     The Company purchases new relocatable modular offices from various 
manufacturers who build to the Company's design specifications.  None of the 
principal suppliers are affiliated with the Company.  The Company believes 
that the loss of any one of these suppliers would not have a material adverse 
effect on its operations.

     Since most of our customer requirements are to fill temporary space 
needs, the Company's marketing emphasis is on rentals rather than sales.  The 
Company solicits customers through extensive yellow-page advertising, 
telemarketing and direct mail.  Customers are encouraged to visit an 
inventory center to view different models on display and to see the branch 
office, which itself is a working example of a relocatable modular office.

     Rental periods range from one month to five years, with a typical rental 
period of one year.  Most rental agreements provide no purchase options, and 
when a rental agreement does provide the customer with a purchase option, it 
is generally on terms attractive to the Company.

     The customer is responsible for the cost of transporting the unit to the 
site, preparation of the site, installation of the unit, dismantle and return 
of the unit to one of the Company's three inventory centers, and certain 
costs for customization.  We maintain the units in good working order while 
on rent.  Upon return, the units are refurbished for subsequent use including 
floor tile repairs, roof maintenance, cleaning, painting and cosmetic work.

     In addition to operating its rental fleet, the Company sells relocatable 
offices to customers who have a direct and permanent use for such units.  
These sales arise out of our marketing efforts for the rental fleet and 
manufactured classrooms.  Such sales can be of either new units or used units 
from the rental fleet or new manufactured classrooms.  Of 1995 sales to 
direct-use customers, 58% arose from the Company's rental operations (20% 
were new equipment and 80% were used) and 42% were newly manufactured 
classrooms from Enviroplex, Inc.

     Competition in the rental and sale of relocatable modular offices is 
intense.  Many firms are engaged in the rental of relocatable modular 
offices, and some have substantially greater financial resources than the 
Company. Significant competitive factors in the rental business include 
availability, price, services, reliability and the quality and attractiveness 
of the units. McGrath RentCorp markets high-quality, well constructed and 
attractive offices. We believe that this strategy, together with our emphasis 
on prompt and efficient customer service, gives us a competitive advantage.  
We are determined to offer quick response to requests for information, 
experienced assistance for the first-time user, rapid delivery and timely 
maintenance of our units.  The Company has a sales and maintenance staff 
trained in the Company's tradition of excellence in service.

     We are eager to be accountable for the quality of the product we rent 
and for the excellence of our response to customer requests.  In fact, we 
enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done, and we take pains to see that we 
never lose this company ethic.

CLASSROOM RENTALS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The rental of relocatable modular offices to school districts for use as 
portable classrooms, restroom buildings and administrative offices for 
kindergarten through grade twelve (K-12) accounted for approximately 34% of 
the Company's relocatable modular rental revenues during 1995 compared to 38% 
in 1994.  The Company believes the decline in rental revenues derived from 
school districts is the result of a lack of available modernization and 
reconstruction funds due to the failed 1994 school bond measure.

     In California (where most of the Company's rentals to school districts 
have occurred), school districts are permitted to purchase only portable 
classrooms which have been built to the requirements of the California 
Division of the State Architect ("DSA").  However, school districts may rent 
classrooms that meet either the Department of Housing ("DOH") or DSA 
requirements.  Prior to 1988, the majority of the classrooms in the Company's 
rental fleet were built to the DOH requirements, and since 1988 the majority 
of new classrooms have been built to the DSA requirements.  In 1988, 
California adopted a law which limits the term for which school districts may 
rent portable classrooms built to DOH standards to three years (under a 
waiver process), and which also requires the school board to indemnify the 
State against any claims arising out of the use of such classrooms.  As a 
consequence, the tendency is for the Company to rent the DOH classrooms for 
shorter periods and to rent the DSA classrooms for longer periods.  In 1993, 
a new law went into effect that allowed school districts that already had DOH 
classrooms to continue to rent them for an additional three years (i.e. up to 
six years in total).  New orders for DOH classrooms placed after 1992 are 
restricted to the three year limitation as before.

     New legislation has been adopted that eliminates the waiver process 
after September 30, 1997 or the expiration of the waiver in effect, whichever 
is longer.  New regulations are in place that allow the use of the DOH 
classrooms for periods up to 24 months anytime after September 30, 1997, 
provided they receive a "Temporary Certification" from DSA.

<PAGE>
 
     All of the Company's DOH classrooms, with the exception of the 24'x40' 
standard classrooms, are also suitable for rent to non-school customers for 
commercial uses.  Generally, the 24'x40' standard classrooms are not popular 
for commercial use.  The Company has continued to rent returned DOH 24'x40' 
standard classrooms to school districts since 1988 and there is no reason to 
believe that it will not continue to do so in the future. However, there can 
be no assurance that this law or new laws may not adversely affect the 
Company's future classroom rental business.

     The following table shows the relationship of 24'x40' standard DOH 
classrooms to DSA equipment marketed to school districts as of December 31, 
1995, 1994 and 1993.

ELECTRONIC TEST AND MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------


OUR
PRODUCTS
- --------


     McGrath RentCorp commenced its electronic test and measurement  
instrument rental business in 1985, carrying primarily general purpose 
equipment.  In 1991, the Company expanded its rental equipment base through 
the purchase of a telecommunication test equipment rental business conducted 
under the name "Rentelco" in Richardson, Texas (Dallas Area).

     The Company's rental inventory includes electronic instruments such as 
oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, signal generators, 
frequency counters, protocol analyzers, cable locaters, fiber optic and sonet 
equipment. A typical rental period is from one to six months.  The Company 
also rents electronic instruments from other rental companies and re-rents 
the instruments to customers.  The Company endeavors to keep its equipment 
fresh and attempts to sell equipment so that the majority of the inventory is 
less than five years old.

     The business of renting electronic test and measurement instruments is 
an industry which emerged approximately 30 years ago, and which today has 
equipment on rent or available for rent in the United States with an 
aggregate original cost of several hundred million dollars.  While there is a 
broad customer base for the rental of such instruments, most rentals are to 
electronics, industrial, research and aerospace companies.  Although the 
Company has targeted the rental market in California and Texas, test 
equipment is shipped to other states.

     The industry is dominated by four major companies. Two of these 
companies are much larger than the Company, have substantially greater 
financial resources and are well established in the industry with large 
inventories of equipment, several branch offices and experienced staffs.

     We believe that customers rent electronic test and measurement 
instruments for many reasons.  Customers frequently need equipment for 
short-term projects, for back-up to avoid costly down-time and to evaluate 
new products.  Delivery times for the purchase of such equipment can be 
lengthy; thus, renting allows the customer to obtain the equipment 
expeditiously.  We also believe that a substantial portion of electronic test 
and measurement instruments are used for research and development projects 
where the relative certainty of rental costs can facilitate cost control and 
be useful in bidding for government contracts. Finally, as is true with the 
rental of any equipment, renting rather than purchasing may better satisfy 
the customer's budgetary constraints.

     The electronic test and measurement and the relocatable modular office 
product lines share common facilities, financing, senior management, and 
operating and accounting systems.  Each product line has its own sales and 
technical personnel.

MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS
- ------------


     Revenues are derived primarily from the rental of relocatable modular 
offices and electronic test and measurement instruments.  The Company has 
expanded the rental inventory of relocatable modular offices and electronic 
instruments. This expansion has been funded through internal cash flow and 
conventional bank financing.

     The major portion of the Company's revenue is derived from rentals and 
rental related services, comprising approximately 78% of total revenues in 
1995. Over the past three years relocatable modular offices comprised 76% of 
the cumulative rental revenues, and test and measurement instruments 
comprised 24% of the cumulative rental revenues.  Classrooms are a 
significant part of the Company's business (see "Our Products" - "Classroom 
Rentals").

     The Company sells both previously rented and new relocatable modular 
offices to customers who have a direct and permanent use for such units, and 
through its majority owned subsidiary Enviroplex, Inc., sells DSA classrooms 
directly to school districts.  The Company also acts as a dealer of new 
relocatable modular offices and is licensed as a dealer by governmental 
agencies in California and Texas.  The Company also sells units from its 
rental inventory of test and measurement equipment.  Revenues from sales of 
both modular and electronic equipment have comprised approximately 19% of 
total revenues over the last three years.

FISCAL YEARS
1995 AND
1994
- ------------

     Rental revenues for 1995 decreased $86,000 from 1994. The rental revenue 
increase from electronics of $1,723,000 was offset by a $1,809,000 decrease 
in rental revenues from  relocatable modular offices.  The rental revenue 
decline for modulars was primarily due to the return of a significant amount 
of equipment (220 unit complex) from a single customer which had generated 
rental billings of $1,290,000 per year.  Average utilization declined for 
both modular equipment, from 79.3% to 73.9%, and for electronics equipment, 
from 56.0% to 55.2%, as compared to 1994.  Rental related services for 1995 
decreased $75,000 from 1994 with gross margin increasing from 34% in 1994 to 
41% in 1995.  The increase in gross margin was due to additional incentive 
fees earned by the Company for equipment management.

     Sales and related services in 1995 increased $3,139,000 (25%) over 1994. 
The sales volume increase is due to the contribution of the Company's 
majority owned subsidiary, Enviroplex, Inc., which had sales of $4,775,000. 
Gross margin on sales and related services remained the same at 32% for 1995 
and 1994.  Sales and related services fluctuate from quarter to quarter and 
from year to year depending on customer demands and requirements.

     Interest expense in 1995 increased $664,000 (31%) over 1994 as a result of
slightly higher borrowing levels combined with a higher average interest rate of
7.3% in 1995 versus 5.6% in 1994.

     Income before provision for taxes increased $627,000 (3%) in 1995 over 1994
while net income increased $839,000 (6%) due to a lower effective tax rate in
1995 of 39.8% compared to 41.9% in 1994.  Earnings per share increased 10%, from
$1.55 in 1994 to $1.71 in 1995, primarily as a result of fewer outstanding
shares.

FISCAL YEARS
1994 AND
1993
- ------------

     Rental revenues for 1994 increased $5,456,000 (13%) over 1993.  Rentals 
from both modular and electronic equipment contributed to the increase in 
rental revenues, with 52% ($2,821,000) derived from modulars due in part to 
the requirements caused by the January 1994 earthquake in Northridge, 
California and 48% ($2,635,000) derived from electronics.  Generally, rates 
on new leases in 1994 were higher than in 1993.  Average utilization improved 
for both modular equipment, from 77.0% to 79.3%, and electronics equipment, 
from 52.3% to 56.0%, as compared to 1993.

     Rental related services increased $1,772,000 (23%) over 1993.  The 
increase in rental related services resulted from significant requirements 
for site work on five projects (one earthquake related) of $1,063,000, 
coupled with increased shipments of modular equipment in part related to the 
Northridge earthquake. Gross margin for rental related services increased 
from 29% in 1993 to 34% in 1994.

     Sales and related services in 1994 increased $3,932,000, a 45% increase 
over 1993.  During 1994, ten significant sales of rental equipment accounted 
for $4,653,000 (37%) of the sales volume.  The largest sale for the year 
occurred to a school district in the amount of $1,183,000 and consisted of 
modular classrooms which had been on rent to the school district.  Sales and 
related services from year to year have fluctuated depending on customer 
requirements. Gross margin on sales and related services increased from 28% 
in 1993 to 32% in 1994.

     Depreciation on rental equipment in 1994 increased $576,000, a 6% 
increase over 1993 due to the increase in rental equipment.

     Selling and administrative expenses increased $1,763,000, a 15% increase 
over 1993 primarily due to increased personnel costs which includes bonuses, 
additional support staff, modular repair and maintenance labor and temporary 
labor costs.

     Interest expense in 1994 increased $406,000, a 23% increase over 1993, 
as a result of an increase in the average interest rate from 4.5% in 1993 to 
5.6% in 1994 while average borrowing levels remained approximately the same 
during 1994.

     Income before provision for income taxes increased 29% in 1994 over 1993 
and represented 33% of the total revenues compared with 30% in 1993.  Net 
income increased only 22% due to a higher effective tax rate of 41.9% in 1994 
as compared to 38.6% in 1993.

LIQUIDITY
AND
CAPITAL
RESOURCES
- ---------

     The Company requires substantial capital in order to maintain an 
available inventory of relocatable modular offices and electronic test and 
measurement instruments necessary to satisfy customer requirements in a 
timely manner.  In 1995, as in prior years, the primary use of cash was for 
the purchase of rental equipment.  During the last three years, the growth of 
the rental inventory has been financed primarily by cash flow from operations 
and bank borrowings. During 1995, the Company demonstrated its strong cash 
flow by purchasing $17,252,000 of rental equipment, purchasing $6,340,000 of 
land improvements, furniture and equipment, repurchasing $7,374,000 of common 
stock, paying dividends of $3,768,000, and paying income taxes of $7,457,000, 
while increasing its debt by only $1,130,000 during the year.

     The Company believes that bank borrowings will continue to be a source 
of funds for the purchase of rental equipment.  As the Company's assets have 
grown, it has been able to negotiate increases in the borrowing limit under 
its general bank line of credit to its current $50,000,000 limit consistent 
with its increased asset base.  Although no assurance can be given, the 
Company believes it will continue to be able to negotiate higher limits on 
its general bank line of credit adequate to meet capital requirements not 
otherwise met by operational cash flows.  Additionally, the Company 
guarantees a $1,000,000 line of credit for its majority owned subsidiary.  
The Company had a total liabilities to equity ratio of 1.04 to 1 and 1.03 to 
1 as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The debt (notes payable) 
to equity ratio was 0.43 to 1 at December 31, 1995 and 1994.

     During 1994, the Company repurchased 158,354 shares of its outstanding 
common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2,533,000 (or an average 
price of $15.99 per share).  During 1995, the Company repurchased 436,066 
shares of its outstanding common stock for an aggregate purchase price of 
$7,374,000 (or an average price of $16.91 per share).  These repurchases were 
made in the over-the-counter market (NASDAQ) and through privately 
negotiated, large block transactions.

      The Company believes that its needs for working capital and capital 
expenditures through 1996 and beyond will adequately be met by cash flow and 
bank borrowings.

IMPACT OF
INFLATION
- ---------

     Although the Company cannot precisely determine the effect of inflation, 
from time to time it has experienced increases in the cost of rental 
equipment, as well as operating and interest expenses.  Because most of its 
rentals are relatively short term, the Company has generally been able to 
pass on such increased costs through increases in rental rates and selling 
prices.

PROPERTIES
- ----------

     The Company currently conducts its operations from five locations.  
Inventory centers, at  which relocatable modular offices are displayed, 
refurbished and stored are located in San Lorenzo, California (San Francisco 
Bay Area), Mira Loma, California (Los Angeles Area), and Pasadena, Texas 
(Houston Area).  These three branches conduct rental and sales operations 
from multi-unit, relocatable modular offices, serving as working models of 
the Company's product.  Electronic test and measurement instrument rental and 
sales operations are conducted from the San Lorenzo facility and from the 
Rentelco facility in Richardson, Texas (Dallas Area).  The Company's majority 
owned subsidiary, Enviroplex, Inc., manufactures portable classrooms from its 
facility in Stockton, California (San Francisco Bay Area).

     The Company has purchased land at three of the branch locations during 
the last few years; 137.7 acres in Livermore, California (San Francisco Bay 
Area) in 1991, 50 acres in Pasadena, Texas (Houston Area) in 1992 and 78.5 
acres in Mira Loma, California (Los Angeles Area) in 1993.  These land 
purchases will allow the Company to consolidate its relocatable modular 
office storage lots and operations into one location in each of Northern 
California, Southern California and Texas.  The Company has completed the 
Pasadena, Texas facility and anticipates completion of the development of the 
remaining land and the relocation of branch office operations during 1996 and 
1997.

     The following table sets forth for each branch the acres leased, the 
acres owned, and the total acres at December 31, 1995.

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 misstatements.  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 financial position of McGrath RentCorp 
as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

     McGrath RentCorp (the "Company"), also doing business as "Mobile Modular 
Management Corporation" and "Rentelco", is engaged in the business of renting 
and selling relocatable modular offices and electronic test and measurement 
instruments with related accessories primarily in California and Texas. 
Although the Company's primary emphasis is on rentals, both modulars and 
instruments are also sold to direct-use customers.   The rental of 
relocatable modular offices to school districts for use as portable 
classrooms, restroom buildings and administrative offices for kindergarten 
through grade twelve (K-12) accounted for approximately 34% in 1995 and 38% 
in 1994 and 1993 of the Company's modular rental revenues.

     In January 1995, McGrath RentCorp converted a $300,000 note receivable 
to a 73.2% ownership interest in Enviroplex, Inc.  Enviroplex, Inc. 
manufactures portable classrooms built to the requirements of the California 
Division of the State Architect ("DSA") and sells primarily to school 
districts.  During 1995, Enviroplex sales were $4,867,064 which included 
$92,388 of sales to the Company.

NOTE 2 -  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the 
Company and its majority owned subsidiary.  All  significant intercompany 
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

RENTAL, RENTAL RELATED SERVICES AND SALES AND RELATED SERVICES REVENUE

     Rental revenue is recognized under the "operating method" of accounting 
for the majority of leases.  Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis 
in those cases where equipment is leased with uneven payment terms.  Rental 
billings for more than one month are recorded as deferred income and 
recognized as rental revenue when earned.

     Rental related services revenue is primarily associated with relocatable 
modular office leases and consists of billings to customers for delivery, 
installation, modifications, skirting, additional site related work, return 
delivery and dismantle.  These services are recognized in the period the 
services are performed and accepted.

     Sales and related services revenue is recognized upon delivery and 
acceptance of the equipment by the customer.

SALES TYPE LEASES

     Certain leases meeting the requirements of Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 13, "Accounting for Leases", are accounted 
for as sales type leases.  For these leases, sales revenue and the related 
accounts receivable are recognized upon execution of the leases and unearned 
interest is recognized over the lease term on a basis which results in a 
constant rate of return on the unrecovered lease investment (See Note 3). 

DEPRECIATION AND MAINTENANCE

     Rental equipment, land improvements, furniture and equipment are 
depreciated on a straight-line basis for financial reporting purposes and on 
an accelerated basis for income tax purposes.  The costs of major 
refurbishment of relocatable modular offices are capitalized to the extent 
the refurbishment significantly improves the quality and adds value to the 
equipment.  Land improvements consist of development costs incurred to build 
storage and maintenance facilities at each of the relocatable modular branch 
offices.  The following estimated useful lives and residual values are used 
for financial reporting purposes:


       Rental equipment:
         Relocatable modular offices     18 years, 18% residual value
         Electronic test instruments     5 to 8 years, no residual value
         Accessory equipment             7 to 18 years, 0% to 18% residual value
       Land improvements, furniture 
        and equipment                    3 to 50 years, no residual value
  
     Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
  
WARRANTY SERVICE COSTS

     Sales of new relocatable modular offices, electronic test equipment and 
related accessories are typically covered by warranties provided by the 
manufacturer of the products sold.  The Company provides limited 90-day 
warranties for certain sales of used rental equipment.  Although the 
Company's policy is to provide reserves for warranties when required for 
specific circumstances, the Company has not found it necessary to establish 
such reserves to date.
  
INCOME TAXES

     Provision has been made for deferred income taxes based upon the amount 
of taxes payable in future years, after considering changes in tax rates and 
other statutory provisions that will be in effect in those years (See Note 5).


           16

<PAGE>

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The Company believes that its financial instruments (cash and notes 
payable) carrying amounts approximate fair value.
  
USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and 
assumptions in determining reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues 
and expenses.

NET INCOME PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE

     Net income per common and common equivalent share is computed by 
dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock 
and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during each period.  Common 
stock equivalents result from dilutive stock options computed using the 
treasury stock method.  The difference between primary and fully diluted 
earnings per share was not significant in any period presented.


NOTE 3 -  SALES TYPE LEASE RECEIVABLES
  
     The Company has entered into several sales type leases.  The minimum 
lease payments receivable and the net investment included in accounts 
receivable for such leases at December 31, 1995 and 1994 are as follows:

     The Company's unsecured line of credit agreement (the "Agreement") with 
its banks expires June 30, 1996 and permits it to borrow up to $50,000,000 of 
which $37,075,000 was outstanding as of December 31, 1995.  The Agreement 
requires the Company to pay interest at prime or, at the Company's election, 
other rate options available under the Agreement.  In addition, the Company 
pays a commitment fee on the daily average unused portion of the available 
line.  Among other restrictions, the Agreement requires (i) the Company to 
maintain shareholders' equity of not less than $68,752,000 plus 50% of all 
net income generated subsequent to December 31, 1993 plus 90% of any new 
stock issuance proceeds (restricted equity at December 31, 1995 is

cash dividends in excess of 50% of one year's earnings without the bank's 
consent.  If the Company does not amend or renegotiate the present Agreement 
for an additional time period prior to its expiration date, the principal 
amount outstanding at that time will be converted to a five-year term loan 
with principal due and payable in twenty (20) consecutive quarterly 
installments.  Additionally, the Company guarantees a $1,000,000 line of 
credit at the prime rate for its majority owned subsidiary of which $5,000

NOTE 6 - COMMON STOCK AND STOCK OPTIONS

     In 1985, the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, as
amended.  Under the terms of the plan, the Company makes annual contributions in
the form of cash or common stock of the Company to a trust for the benefit of
eligible employees.  The amount of the contribution is determined annually by
the Board of Directors.  A contribution of $550,000 was approved for 1995 and
1994 and $525,000 for 1993.

     The Company adopted a 1987 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "1987 Plan"),
effective December 14, 1987, under which options to purchase common stock may be
granted to officers and key employees  of the Company.  The plan provides for
the award of options at a price not less than the fair market value of the stock
as determined by the Board of Directors on the date the options are granted. 
Under the 1987 Plan, options have been granted with an exercise price of $6.125
and $13.875 per share.  The options become exercisable over the term of the
related option agreements.  Option activity and options exercisable for the
three years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 were as follows:

     -------------------------------------------------------------------------

</TABLE>



     As of December 31, 1995, 664,840 options remain available for future grant
under the 1987 Plan.

     In 1991, the Board of Directors adopted a Long-Term Stock Bonus Plan (the
"LTB Plan") under which 200,000 shares of common stock are reserved for grant to
officers and other key employees.  The stock bonuses granted under the LTB Plan
are evidenced by written Stock Bonus Agreements covering specified performance
periods.  The LTB Plan provides for the grant of stock bonuses upon achievement
of certain levels of return on equity during a specified period.  Stock bonuses
earned under the LTB Plan vest over 5 years from the grant date contingent on
the employee's continued employment with the Company.  As of December 31, 1995,
37,041 shares of common stock have been granted, of which 24,242 shares of
common stock are vested.  Future grants of 36,798 shares of common stock are
authorized by the Board of Directors to be issued under the LTB Plan in the
event the Company reaches the highest level of achievement.  Compensation
expense for 1995, 1994 and 1993 under these plans was $76,318, $53,726 and
$31,742, respectively, and is based on a combination of the anticipated shares
to be granted, the amount of vested shares previously issued and fluctuations in
market price of the Company's common stock.

     The Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of shares of the 
Company's outstanding common stock. These purchases are to be made in the 
over-the-counter market and/or through large block transactions at such 
repurchase price as the officers shall deem appropriate and desirable on 
behalf of the Company.  All shares repurchased by the Company are to be 
canceled and returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of 
common stock.  In 1994, the Company repurchased 158,354 shares of common 
stock for an aggregate repurchase price of $2,532,591 or an average price of 
$15.99 per share.  In 1995, the Company repurchased  436,066 shares of common 
stock for an aggregate repurchase price of $7,374,279 or an average price of 
$16.91 per share.  As of December 31, 1995, 495,000 shares remain authorized 
for repurchase.

     In January 1995, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend on 
its common stock of $0.11 per share related to fourth quarter 1994.  The 
dividend was paid on January 31, 1995.

approximately 142 shareholders of record, which does not include shareholders 
whose shares are held in street or nominee name.  The Company believes that

DIVIDEND POLICY
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The Company has declared a quarterly dividend on its common stock every 
quarter since 1990. (See Consolidated Quarterly (Unaudited) and Five Year 
Selected Financial Data on page 7).  Subject to its continued profitability 
and favorable cash flow, the Company intends to continue the payment of
