NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1997
__________________________________________
1. The consolidated financial information for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 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, 1997 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.
2. The number of outstanding shares and equivalent shares used in the
earnings per common share calculations were as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Primary Fully Diluted
---------- -------------
<S> <C> <C>
Three months ended: September 30, 1997 15,242,764 15,250,148

September 30, 1996 15,403,986 15,468,252
</TABLE>
3. The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per Share", which modifies the
way in which earnings per share (EPS) is calculated and disclosed effective
for periods ending after December 15, 1997. Primary EPS will be replaced by
basic EPS which is computed by dividing reported net income by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully
diluted EPS will be replaced with diluted EPS which is computed by dividing
reported net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common
stock equivalents result from dilutive stock options computed using the
treasury stock method with the average share price for the reported period.
When implemented, the effect of this accounting change on previously reported
EPS data is not significant.
4. In July 1997, the Company entered into a new credit agreement amending
and restating it's unsecured line of credit (the "Agreement") with its
banks which expires June 30, 1999 and permits it to borrow up to
$70,000,000. 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 terms, the
<PAGE>

Third Quarter 1997 Form 10-Q

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1997
__________________________________________
Agreement requires (i) the Company to maintain shareholders' equity of not
less than $77,800,000 plus 50% of all net income generated subsequent to June
30, 1997, (ii) a debt-to-equity ratio (excluding deferred income taxes) of
not more than 3 to 1, (iii) interest coverage (income from operations
compared to interest expense) of not less than 2 to 1, and (iv) debt service
coverage of not less than 1.15 to 1. If the Company does not amend or
renegotiate this Agreement for an additional time period prior to its
expiration date, the principal amount outstanding at that time will be
converted to a two-year term loan with the principal due and payable in eight
(8) quarterly installments. In addition to the $70,000,000 unsecured line of
credit, the Company has a $3,000,000 committed line of credit related to its
cash management services and has $10,000,000 of uncommitted optional advance
facilities all of which expire June 30, 1998.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
McGrath RentCorp (the "Company") is engaged in the business of renting
and selling relocatable modular offices and classrooms under its trade name
"Mobile Modular," and electronic test and measurement instruments under the
names "McGrath RentCorp" and "Rentelco". Although the Company's primary
emphasis is on rentals, both modulars and electronics are sold to direct-use
customers. The Company also manufactures portable classrooms through its
majority owned (73.2%) subsidiary, Enviroplex, Inc., for direct sale to
school districts.
Rental revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997
increased $3,745,945 (30%) and $9,564,902 (27%), respectively, over the same
periods in 1997. Modulars contributed 71.2% and 75.8% of the rental revenue
increase in 1997 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997.
Average utilization during the first nine months increased for Modulars, from
70.5% to 80.0%, and slightly declined for Electronics, from 55.2% to 55.0% as
compared to the same period in 1996. The increase in utilization for Modulars
is primarily the result of rentals to implement the class size reduction
program in California schools.
Rental related service revenues for the three months ended September 30,
1997 decreased $311,179 (8%) and for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
increased $1,219,923 (16%), respectively, compared to the same periods in
1996. The three month comparative revenue decline resulted from many schools
opting in 1997 to include the normal upfront charges in the rental rate. The
nine month comparative increase was primarily due to one commercial project
with significant site work requirements which occurred in the first quarter
of 1997. The gross margins for rental related services declined for the nine
month comparative period from 45% in 1996 to 37% in 1997 partially as a
result of the project noted above being performed at a lower gross margin.
Sales and related services for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1997 increased $16,420,158 (177%) and $32,023,887 (163%), respectively,
over the same periods in 1996. The table below indicates the sales and
related services contribution for Modulars, Enviroplex and Electronics for
nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared with the nine months ended
September 30, 1996.
Nine months ended September 30,
------------------------------- Increase Over
1997 1996 Prior Period

Modulars $29,156,007 $ 9,216,794 $19,939,213

McGrath RentCorp
Third Quarter 1997 Form 10-Q
Page 7
The significant increase in sales and related services for Modulars and
Enviroplex is directly related to the higher demand by school districts in
conjunction with the class size reduction program in California. Sales and
related service revenues from school districts comprised 77% and 33% of the
Modulars sales and related services revenues for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, while Enviroplex sells
substantially all of its product to school districts. Future sales under the
class size reduction program for the Company are subject to the state's
funding of the program, the requirements of the various school districts and
available supplies. Management believes the present sales and related
services revenue levels for Modulars, and to a lesser degree Enviroplex, may
not be sustainable in the future. Management continues to believe that sales
and related services from quarter to quarter and year to year fluctuate based
on customer requirements. Gross margins on sales and related services
declined slightly for the nine month period from 32.4% in 1996 to 31.2% in
1997.
Depreciation on rental equipment for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1997 increased $541,420 (17%) and $1,348,372 (15%),
respectively, over the same periods in 1996 due to the additions of both
modular and electronic rental equipment.
Selling and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1997 increased $1,700,268 (46%) and $3,394,562 (35%),
respectively, over the same periods in 1996. The increased business activity
in the modular business for class size reduction has also translated into
higher personnel costs for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 over the
same nine month period in 1996. Personnel costs increased $1,580,152 over the
same period in 1996 and include additional staff for sales and support,
increased temporary contract labor, and increased sales and performance
bonuses. Additionally, selling and administrative expenses for Enviroplex
increased $908,894 during the nine month comparative period due to increased
sales activity and includes the reduction of net income by the portion of
earnings of Enviroplex related to the minority shareholder's interest.
Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997
increased $298,441 (40%) and $843,346 (41%), respectively, over the same
periods in 1996 as a result of 47% higher average borrowing levels during the
comparative period.
Income before provision for income taxes for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1997 increased $5,932,618 (83%) and $13,878,662 (68%),
respectively, over the same periods in 1996. Net income increased $3,238,489
(73%) for the three month period and $7,513,957 (67%) for the nine month
period over the same periods in 1996. Earnings per share for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased 76%, from $0.29 to $0.51, and
68%, from $0.73 to $1.23.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.
The debt (notes payable) to equity ratio was 0.63 to 1 at September 30,
1997 compared to 0.61 to 1 at December 31, 1996. The debt (total liabilities)
to equity ratio at the end of the current period was 1.28 to 1 as compared to
1.25 to 1 as of December 31, 1996.
The Company has made purchases of shares of its common stock from time
to time in the over-the-counter market (NASDQ) and/or through privately
negotiated, large block transactions under an authorization of the Board of
Directors. Shares repurchased by the Company will be cancelled and returned
to the status of authorized but unissued stock. The Company has not
repurchased any of its common stock during 1997 and currently is authorized
to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares.
The Company's primary use of funds is to purchase rental equipment and
sales inventory, and funds will continue to be used for this purpose in the
future. The Company also pays quarterly dividends, which will constitute an
additional use of cash in 1997.

expiration of this Facility the foregoing representations, covenants and
obligations of Borrower shall nevertheless survive as between Borrower and
Bank with respect to this Facility and shall continue in effect until this
Facility terminates or expires. No amendment or waiver of any provision of
the Multibank Agreement after the date hereof shall be effective with respect
to this Facility unless the Bank consents thereto in writing.
4. Borrower acknowledges that any amount outstanding under the Credit Line
Note is included within the definition of "Debt" and "Outside Debt" under
the Agreement.
5. Borrower shall pay to Bank a non-refundable commitment fee for this

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, on June 30, 1998, the undersigned ("Debtor") promises to
pay to the order of UNION BANK OF CALIFORNIA, N.A. ("Bank") as indicated
below, the principal sum of THREE MILLION DOLLARS ($3,000,000), or so much
thereof as is disbursed, together with interest on the balance of such
principal sum from time to time outstanding, at a per annum rate equal to the
Reference Rate, such per annum rate to change as and when the Reference Rate
shall change. Debtor may borrow, repay and reborrow under this note.
As used herein, the term "Reference Rate" shall mean the rate announced by
Bank from time to time at its corporate headquarters as its "Reference Rate."
The Reference Rate is an index rate determined by Bank from time to time as a
means of pricing certain extensions of credit and is neither directly tied to
any external rate of interest or index nor necessarily the lowest rate of
interest charged by Bank at any given time. All computations of interest
under this note shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days, for actual
days elapsed.
1. PAYMENTS.
1.1 INTEREST PAYMENTS. Debtor shall pay interest on the last day of each
month commencing July, 1997. Should interest not be so paid, it shall become
a part of the principal and thereafter bear interest as herein provided.
1.2 PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS. All principal outstanding on this note is due
and payable on the earlier of June 30, 1998 or any accelerated maturity date.
Debtor shall pay all amounts due under this note in lawful money of the
United States at Bank's San Francisco Office or such other office as may be
designated by Bank from time to time.
2. INTEREST RATE FOLLOWING DEFAULT. In the event of default, at the option
of Bank, and, to the extent permitted by law, interest shall be payable on
the outstanding principal under this note at a per annum rate equal to two
percent (2%) in excess of the interest rate specified in the initial
paragraph of this note, calculated from the date of default until all amounts
payable under this note are paid in full.

3. DEFAULT AND ACCELERATION OF TIME FOR PAYMENT. Default shall include, but
not be limited to, any of the following: (a) the failure of Debtor to make
any payment required under this note when due; (b) any breach
misrepresentation or other default by Debtor, any guarantor, co-maker
endorser, or any person or entity other than Debtor providing security for
this note (hereinafter individually and collectively referred to as the
"Obligor") under any security agreement, guaranty or other agreement between
Bank and any Obligor; (c) the insolvency of any Obligor or the failure of any
Obligor generally to pay such Obligor's debts as such debts become due; (d)
the commencement as to any Obligor of any voluntary or involuntary proceeding
under any laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
arrangement, debt adjustment or debtor relief; (e) the assignment by any
Obligor for the benefit of such Obligor's creditors; (f), the appointment, or
commencement of any proceedings for the appointment, of a receiver, trustee,
custodian or similar official for all or substantially all of any Obligor's
property; (g) the commencement of any proceeding for the dissolution or
liquidation of any Obligor; (h) the termination of existence or death of any
Obligor; (i) the failure of any Obligor to comply with any order, judgment,
injunction, decree, writ or demand of any court or other public authority;
(j) the filing or recording against any Obligor, or the property of any
Obligor of any notice of levy, notice to withhold, or other legal process for
taxes other than property taxes; (k) the default by any Obligor liable for
amounts owed hereunder on any obligation concerning the borrowing of money;
(i) the issuance against any Obligor or the property of any Obligor, of any
writ of attachment, execution or other; judicial lien; (m) the deterioration
of the financial condition of any Obligor which results in Bank deeming
itself, in good faith, insecure, (n) Debtor's failure to comply with any
provision of the Multibank Agreement (as defined in the facility letter
between Debtor and Bank executed in connection herewith), or (o) Debtor's
failure to comply with any provision of the facility letter between Debtor
and Bank executed in connection herewith. Upon the occurrence of any such
default, Bank, in its discretion, may cease to advance funds hereunder and
may declare all obligations under this note immediately due and payable;
however, upon the occurrence of an event of default under d, e, f, g, or n
all principal and interest shall automatically become immediately due and
payable.
4. ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS OF DEBTOR. If any amounts owing under this note
are not paid when due, Debtor promises to pay all costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by Bank in the collection or
enforcement of this note. Debtor and any endorsers of this note, for the
maximum period of time and the full extent permitted by law (a) waive
diligence, presentment, demand notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of
protest, and notice of every kind; (b) waive the right to assert the defense
of any statute of limitations to any debt or obligation hereunder; and (c)
consent to renewals and extensions of time for the payment of any amounts due
under this note. If this note is signed by more than one party, the term
'Debtor" includes each of the undersigned and any successors in interest
thereof; all of whose liability shall be joint and several. The receipt of
any check or other item of payment by Bank, at its option, shall not be
considered a payment on account until such check or
Page 2
<PAGE>
other item of payment is honored when presented for payment at the drawee
bank. Bank may delay the credit of such payment based upon Bank's schedule of
funds availability, and interest under this note shall accrue until the
funds are deemed collected. In any action brought under or arising out of
this note, Debtor and any endorser of this note, including their successors
and assigns, hereby consents to the jurisdiction of any competent court
within the State of California, except as provided in any alternative dispute
resolution agreement executed between Debtor and Bank, and consents to
service of process by any means authorized by said state law. The term "Bank"
includes, without limitation, any holder of this note. This note shall be
construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of
California. This note is subject to the terms of the facility letter between
Debtor and Bank executed in connection herewith but in the event of any
conflict between the terms of such facility letter and this note the terms of
this note shall prevail.
