    1.   The  consolidated financial  information  for  the nine  months  ended
    September 30, 1996 has not been  audited, but in the opinion of management,
    all   adjustments   (consisting   only  of   normal   recurring   accruals,
    consolidation and eliminating entries)  necessary for the fair presentation
    of the  consolidated results  of operations,  financial position,  and cash
    flows of McGrath RentCorp (the "Company") have been made.  The consolidated
    results  of  the  nine  months  ended September  30,  1996  should  not  be
    considered as  necessarily indicative of  the results for the  entire year.
    It is  suggested that  these consolidated financial  statements be  read in
    conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
    Company's latest Form 10-K.

    (the "Agreement") with its banks was amended to extend the expiration 
    date of the Agreement to June 30, 1997.  In  addition to extending the 
    expiration date, the amendment requires the Company  to maintain

    ITEM  2.  MANAGEMENT  DISCUSSION AND  ANALYSIS OF  FINANCIAL CONDITION
    AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. 

    THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995 

        The Company has experienced a significant increase in orders during the
    three months ended September 30, 1996 primarily related to a law enacted on
    July 15,  1996 in  California  which  provided operational  funding  for  a
    reduction  of  classroom  size  for  kindergarten through third grade to 20
    pupils  and  additional  legislation  which  made available $200 million of
    state funds for facilities to accomplish  that goal.  The law requires that
    the new  classrooms be  in place by  February 1997 to  be eligible  for the
    state funding. 

        Rental revenues for the three and  nine months ended September 30, 1996
    increased  slightly over  the same  periods in  1995.  For  the nine  month
    period, the  $1,794,715 increase  in rental  revenues from  electronics was
    offset by  a $745,979 decline  in rental revenues from  relocatable modular
    offices.  The  rental revenue decline for  modulars is primarily due  to an
    increase in rental customers electing to purchase modulars they had on rent
    and to  the return of  modular equipment  related to several  large expired
    leases during  the first part of  1996.  Average utilization for  the first
    nine  months declined  for  modular  equipment, from  74.6%  to 70.5%,  and
    remained the same for electronic equipment (55.2%), as compared to the same
    period  in  1995.  However,  as  a  result  of  the significant  volume  of
    shipments to  school districts  during August  and September  1996, modular
    utilization has increased  to 74.9% as of September 30,  1996 from 71.0% as
    of December 31, 1995.  Rental revenues for the three months ended September
    30, 1996 reflect only a partial  quarter of rental revenues associated with
    the modular equipment shipped in August and September 1996. 

        Rental related services  for the three and nine  months ended September
    30,  1996  increased  $887,765  (29%)   and  $840,211  (12%), respectively,
    over the  same periods in 1995.  The nine  month increase was primarily due
    to  additional  site  requirements  and  the  significant  increase  in the
    movement of modular equipment to school districts.

        Sales  and  related  services  for  the three  and  nine  months  ended
    September  30, 1996  increased  $5,149,110  (125%)  and  $8,117,285  (71%),
    respectively,  over the  same periods  in 1995. Of the  nine month increase
    in sales and related services, $4,964,022 relates to the Company's  modular
    equipment, $2,164,259 relates to the Company's  majority owned  subsidiary,
    Enviroplex, Inc., which manufactures and sells portable classrooms directly
    to school districts and $989,004 relates to electronic test and measurement
    equipment. The significant increase in modular equipment sales  and related
    services  is  due  to a high number (17) of large sales in 1996 of both new
    and  used  relocatable  modular  equipment  amounting to $4,050,881. Of the
    sales  of  modular  equipment  through September 30, 1996, 33%  are new and
    67% are  used.   As of  September 30, 1996, the largest single sale was for
    $1,517,337 by Enviroplex, Inc. to a school district  consisting of

                                                  Third Quarter 1996 Form 10-Q
                                                                        Page 6


    manufactured portable  classrooms of various  sizes.   Sales  and  related 
    services  from quarter to quarter have  fluctuated   depending  on customer
    requirements.  Gross  margin on  sales  and  related  services for the nine
    month period was 32% in 1996 compared with 33.0% in 1995. 


        Depreciation on  rental equipment for  the three and nine  months ended
    September 30, 1996 increased $177,916 (6%) and $656,405 (8%), respectively,
    over the  same periods in 1995  due to the increases  in electronics rental
    equipment.   Other  direct  costs  for  the three  and  nine  months  ended
    September  30,  1996  have  increased  $496,177  (39%)  and  $261,678  (7%)
    respectively, compared  to the  same periods  in 1995  due to  material and
    repair costs directly related to  the modular equipment movement during the
    third quarter of 1996. 

        Selling and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended
    September  30,  1996  increased  $1,114,165  (32%)  and  $1,984,914  (20%),
    respectively, over  the same  periods in 1995.   However, during  the first
    quarter  of 1995,  the Company  recognized an  acceleration of  $330,000 in
    additional leasehold  improvement expense related  to a rented  facility in
    Southern California in which the lease was terminated.  Excluding this 1995
    nonrecurring  expense,   selling  and  administrative   expenses  increased
    $2,314,914 (23%) for  the nine months ended September 30,  1996 compared to
    the  same period  in 1995.   The nine  month increase  is primarily  due to
    increases  in  staffing levels  for  sales  and support,  personnel  costs,
    temporary contract  labor to assist  in the preparation of  modular offices
    for potential lease  and sale opportunities, and increases  in the expenses
    of the Company's majority owned  subsidiary, Enviroplex, Inc.  The increase
    in expenses  are net of the  reduction in facilities rental  expense due to
    the  relocation of  modular office  operations in  Southern California  and
    Texas to owned facilities. 

        Net  income for  the three  and nine  months ended  September 30,  1996
    increased $958,143 (27%) and $1,242,452  (12%), respectively, over the same
    periods in  1995.  Earnings per share  for the three and  nine months ended
    September 30, 1996 increased 34%, from  $0.44 to $0.59, and 19%, from $1.22
    to $1.45, over  the comparative 1995 period as a  result of higher earnings
    and fewer outstanding shares. 

    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. 

        The debt (notes payable) to equity ratio was 0.54 to 1 at September 30,
    1996  compared  to  0.43 to  1  at  December  31,  1995.  The  debt  (total
    liabilities) to equity ratio at the end of the current period was 1.21 to 1
    as compared to 1.04 to 1 as of December 31, 1995. 

        The Company continues  to make purchases of shares of  its common stock
    from time  to time  in the over-the-counter  market (NASDAQ) and/or through
    privately negotiated,  large block  transactions under an  authorization of

    the  Board  of  Directors.   The  Board  of  Directors  believes  that  the
    repurchase of its shares continues to be a good investment for the Company.
    Shares repurchased  by the Company  will be  cancelled and returned  to the
    status  of  authorized but  unissued  stock.   From  January 1,  1996  thru
    November 7, 1996, the Company repurchased  a total of 420,550 shares of its
    common stock  at an  aggregate cost  of $8,778,775 or  an average  price of
    $20.87 per share.  As of November 7, 1996, 387,200 shares remain authorized
    for repurchase. 

        The Company's primary use of funds is to purchase rental equipment, and
    funds  will  continue   to  be  used  for  this  purpose   in  the  future.
    Additionally, the Company plans to make further improvements to the land at
    their inventory facility located in  Northern California.  The Company also
    pays quarterly dividends,  which will constitute an additional  use of cash
    in 1996. 



                            PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

    ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

        On August  30, 1996 the  Company declared  a quarterly dividend  on its
    Common Stock; the  dividend was $0.14 per share.  Subject  to its continued
    profitability and favorable cash flow,  the Company intends to continue the
    payment of quarterly dividends.  The Company's loan agreement with the Bank
    prohibits payment of  dividends in excess of  50% of net income  in any one
    year without the bank's consent.
