                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 1999

NOTE 1. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

        The consolidated financial information for the three months ended March
31, 1999 has not been audited, but in the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of only 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 three months ended
March 31, 1999 should not be considered as necessarily indicative of the
consolidated 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.

NOTE 2. NOTES PAYABLE

        In April 1999, the Company amended its unsecured line of credit
agreement (the "Agreement") with its banks to reduce the minimum shareholders'
equity requirement to allow further repurchases of the Company's common stock.
The Agreement requires the Company to maintain shareholders' equity of not less
than $85,000,000 plus 50% of all net income generated subsequent to March 31,
1999 plus 90% of any new stock issuance proceeds. All other terms and conditions
remained the same.

NOTE 3. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

        The Company defines its business segments based on the nature of
operations for the purpose of reporting under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information" (SFAS 131). The Company's three reportable segments are Mobile
Modular Management Corporation (Modulars), McGrath-RenTelco (Electronics), and
Enviroplex. The operations of these three segments are described in the notes to
the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's latest Form
10-K. As a separate corporate entity, Enviroplex revenues and expenses are
separately maintained from Modulars and Electronics. Excluding interest expense,
allocations of revenues and expenses not directly associated with Modulars or
Electronics are generally allocated to these segments based on their pro-rata
share of direct revenues. Interest expense is allocated between Modulars and
Electronics based on their pro-rata share of average rental equipment, accounts
receivable and customer security deposits. The Company does not report total
assets by business segment. Summarized financial information for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 for the Company's reportable segments is
shown in the following table:

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

        This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements which constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements appear in a number of places.
Such statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such
as "believes", "expects", "may", "estimates", "will", "should", "plans" or
"anticipates" or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable
terminology, or by discussions of strategy. Readers are cautioned that any such
forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve
significant risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may vary materially
from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.
These factors include the effectiveness of management's strategies and
decisions, general economic and business conditions, new or modified statutory
or regulatory requirements and changing prices and market conditions. This
report identifies other factors that could cause such differences. No assurance
can be given that these are all of the factors that could cause actual results
to vary materially from the forward-looking statements.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 AND 1998

        Rental revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1999 increased
$1,998,000 (12%) over the comparative period in 1998, with Mobile Modular
Management Corporation ("MMMC") contributing $1,018,000 and McGrath-RenTelco
contributing $980,000. MMMC's rental revenues increased as a result of having
$17,182,000 more equipment on rent compared to a year earlier. For Modulars,
average monthly yield of 1.93% and average utilization of 82.2%, exclusive of
equipment not previously rented, were approximately the same for each period
reported. McGrath-RenTelco's rental revenues increased as a result of having
$4,724,000 more equipment on rent compared to a year earlier offset by an
average monthly yield decline from 3.53% in 1998 to 3.20% in 1999. Electronics
average utilization for the first quarter declined from 55.5% in 1998 to 51.3%
in 1999. 

        Rental related services revenues for the three months ended March 31,
1999 increased $211,000 (9%) as compared to the same period in 1998 as a result
of higher volume of modular equipment movements and site requirements in 1999.
Gross margins on these services for the quarter increased from 25% in 1998 to
45% in 1999 due to the mix of services performed in 1999 and approximates the
1998 annual gross margin of 43%. 

        Sales for the three months ended March 31, 1999 declined $1,089,000
(14%) as compared to the same period in 1998 primarily due to fewer sales by
Enviroplex of manufactured classrooms to school districts. MMMC and
McGrath-RenTelco's sales volumes were consistent with the 1998 comparative
period. Consolidated gross margin on sales declined for the quarter from 34% in
1998 to 29% in 1999 due to Enviroplex's lower margin on classrooms sold during
the first quarter of 1999. Sales continue to occur routinely as a normal part of
the Company's rental business; however, these sales can fluctuate from quarter
to quarter and year to year depending on customer demands and requirements.

        Enviroplex's backlog of orders as of March 31, 1999 and 1998 was
$4,042,000 and $14,322,000, respectively. Management believes schools have
delayed placing orders until allocation of funds from the $9.2 billion
California bond measure, which passed in November 1998, is determined.
Enviroplex has taken additional orders since March 31, 1999 and the backlog as
of May 7, 1999 was $5,969,000. Backlog is not significant in MMMC's modular
business or in McGrath-RenTelco's electronics business. 

        Depreciation on rental equipment for the three months ended March 31,
1999 increased $819,000 (21%) over the comparative period in 1998 due to the
additional rental equipment purchased during 1998. Modular rental equipment, at
cost, increased 9% and Electronics rental equipment, at cost, increased 27%
between March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999. Other direct costs of rental
operations increased $108,000 (4%) over the first quarter in 1998 primarily due
to increased maintenance costs of the modular rental equipment. 

        Selling and administrative expenses increased $494,000 (13%) for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998 primarily
due to higher bad debt expense ($292,000) resulting from an unusual 




                                       6
<PAGE>   8

write-off of $282,000. Additionally, higher advertising expenses ($83,000) for
brochure development, web page design, and yellow page advertising contributed
to the increase in selling and administrative expenses. 

        Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1999 increased
$65,000 (4%) over 1998 as a result of a higher average borrowing level offset by
a lower average interest rate in 1999. The debt increase funded part of the
significant rental equipment purchases made during 1998. 

        Income before provision for taxes for the three months ended March 31, 
1999 increased $373,000 (4%) from $8,409,000 in 1998 to $8,782,000 in 1999 
while net income increased $403,000 (8%) from $4,968,000 in 1998 to $5,371,000 
in 1999. The higher percentage increase for net income in 1999 is due to the 
decrease in minority interest in income of Enviroplex combined with a lower 
effective tax rate in 1999 of 39.25% compared to 39.40% in 1998. Earnings per
share for the three months ending March 31, 1999 increased 13% over the same 
period in 1998 from $0.34 per share to $0.39 per share as a result of higher 
earnings and fewer outstanding shares.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        This section contains statements that constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. See the statement at the beginning of this Item for cautionary
information with respect to such forward-looking statements.

        The Company had a total liabilities to equity ratio of 1.77 to 1 and
1.64 to 1 as of March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively. The debt
(notes payable) to equity ratio was 1.02 to 1 and 0.92 to 1 as of March 31, 1999
and December 31, 1998, respectively.

        The Company has made 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. Shares repurchased by the Company are cancelled and returned to the
status of authorized but unissued stock. During the three months ended March 31,
1999, the Company repurchased 540,400 shares of its outstanding common stock for
an aggregate purchase price of $9,893,562 (or an average price of $18.31 per
share). On March 18, 1999, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of
up to 1,000,000 shares of its common stock. As of May 14, 1999, 887,000 shares
remain authorized for repurchase.

        The Company believes that its needs for working capital and capital
expenditures through 1999 and beyond will adequately be met by cash flow and
bank borrowings.

MARKET RISK

        This section contains statements that constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. See the statement at the beginning of this Item for cautionary
information with respect to such forward-looking statements.

        The Company currently has no material derivative financial instruments
that expose the Company to significant market risk. The Company is exposed to
cash flow and fair value risk due to changes in interest rates with respect to
its notes payable. As of March 31, 1999, the Company believes that the carrying
amounts of its financial instruments (cash and notes payable) approximate fair
value.

YEAR 2000

        This section contains statements that constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. See the statement at the beginning of this Item for cautionary
information with respect to such forward-looking statements.

        The "Year 2000" issue is the result of computer programs using two
digits rather than four to determine the applicable year. This could affect
date-sensitive calculations that treat "00" as the year 1900 rather than the
year 2000. An assessment of the Company's exposure related to Year 2000 issues
has been completed and it is not expected to have a significant impact on the
Company.

        The Company initiated a number of major system projects in 1997 and 1998
to upgrade core computer hardware, networking and software systems. These
projects are replacing existing systems as opposed to simply fixing Year 2000
problems. Most of these projects have been completed and are operational; the
balance is expected to be operational by September 1999. Capitalized
expenditures for this process totaled $1,400,000 for the period January 1, 1997
to March 31, 1999 for external labor, hardware and software costs. This amount
includes the cost of new software applications installed as a result of
strategic replacement projects. Prior to December 31, 1998, the Company did not
separately track the internal costs incurred related to Year 2000 issues or the
system conversions described above. Such internal costs are principally the
related payroll costs for its information systems personnel and are not
necessarily considered incremental costs to the Company. Effective January 1,
1999, the Company began to track these internal costs in accordance with
Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." The Company estimates approximately
$600,000 for completion of its system upgrades for the remainder of 1999, of
which approximately $200,000 is expected to be related to internal costs. All
future costs will be funded from operating cash flow.

        The Company does not significantly rely on "embedded technology" in its
critical processes. Embedded technology, which means microprocessor-controlled
devices as opposed to multi-purpose computers, does control some building and
security operations, such as electric power management, ventilation, and
building access. All building facilities are presently being evaluated, and the
Company expects all systems using embedded technology to be confirmed as Year
2000 ready by June 1999. The electronics test and measurement rental equipment
has been evaluated, and it appears only minor quantities of equipment pose a
Year 2000 problem. If deemed important, some equipment may be upgraded. The
Company asks its customers to seek definitive Year 2000 compliance guidance
directly from the equipment manufacturers.

        The Company cannot predict the likelihood of a significant disruption of
its customers' or suppliers' businesses or the economy as a whole, either of
which could have a material adverse impact on the Company. However, because the
markets for the Company's products are comprised of numerous customers with a
variety of sizes and levels of sophistication, the noncompliance with Year 2000
of any one would not be expected to have a detrimental impact on the Company's
financial position or results of operations. As a normal course of business, the
Company seeks to maintain multiple suppliers where possible. The Company
continues to communicate with vendors, customers, suppliers, service providers,
and government agencies to monitor their compliance.

        The Company presently believes that its Year 2000 exposures will not
present a material adverse risk to the Company's future consolidated results of
operations, liquidity, and capital resources. However, if all systems are not
completed in a timely manner, or the level of timely compliance by key suppliers
or service providers is not sufficient, the Year 2000 issue could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's operations. This includes, but is not
limited to, delays of equipment shipments resulting in loss of revenues,
increased operating costs, loss of customers and suppliers, or other significant
disruptions to the Company's business.

        The Company's contingency plan includes (1) all critical computer
operating and financial data will be backed-up and printed at key dates to
provide the basis, if necessary, for a manual system, (2) in the event a
significant number of customers are unable to issue payments, the Company has
sufficient liquidity with its existing line of credit to function adequately,
and (3) the Company continues to look for multiple suppliers and is also
evaluating power and communication alternatives in the event of a loss of
service. The contingency plan is enhanced by the fact that existing management
has been in place since before computer systems were used.
