                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)


(1) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    The financial information for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995
    has not been audited. In the opinion of management,  the unaudited financial
    statements  contain all adjustments  (consisting  only of normal,  recurring
    adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as
    of March  31,1996  and its  operating  results  and cash flows for the three
    months  ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.  The  results of  operations  for the
    periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 are not necessarily  indicative of the
    operating results for the full year.

    Certain  information and footnote  disclosure normally included in financial
    statements   prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
    principles  have  been  omitted.   It  is  suggested  that  these  financial
    statements be read in  conjunction  with the financial  statements and notes
    thereto included in the Company's latest Form 10-K.

(2) EARNINGS PER SHARE

    Earnings  per common  share is  computed  by  dividing  net  earnings by the
    weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations.


Results of Operations

   Three Months Ended March 31, 1996  Compared with Three Months Ended March 31,
1995.  Revenues in the quarter ended March 31, 1996 were $42.6  million,  a $7.9
million or 22.6%  increase  from revenues of $34.8 million in the same period of
1995. This increase resulted  primarily from a $4.8 million or 22.1% increase in
leasing  revenue,  a $1.6 million or 37.5%  increase in new sales  revenue and a
$1.3 million or 57.1% increase in other revenue. The increase in leasing revenue
is  attributable  to an increase in the average  number of units in the fleet of
11.7% to  approximately  37,000 units for the first quarter of 1996, an increase
in fleet utilization of approximately 2 percentage points to 82% and an increase
of  approximately  $10 in the average  monthly  rental rate. The increase in new
sales revenue is due primarily to the overall  branch  expansion  experienced by
the  Company  during  1995,  growing  from 38  locations  at March  31,  1995 to
approximately  51 at March 31,  1996.  Other  revenue  increased  as a result of
increases in the rental of steps and furniture as well as miscellaneous  revenue
related to services provided for customer-owned units.

   Gross  profit for the  quarter  was $18.8  million,  a $3.0  million or 19.3%
increase  from the first  quarter of 1995.  This increase is primarily due to an
increase  in leasing  gross  profit of $1.5  million or 12.1% and an increase in
gross profit from other revenue of $1.1  million.  These  increases  reflect the
increases in leasing revenue and other revenue described above.

   Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  increased by $1.9 million or
21.5% from the first quarter of 1995. Of this increase,  $1.4 million represents
field related  expenses  incurred in conjunction  with the branch expansion that
the Company has  experienced  as  described  above.  This  increase is comprised
primarily of a $0.9 million  increase in  personnel-related  expenses and a $0.2
million increase in occupancy expenses.

   Interest  expense  increased by $1.0 million or 19.1% in the first quarter of
1996.  This  increase is due  primarily to the  increase in the average  balance
outstanding  under the revolving  line of credit during the quarter  compared to
the comparable period of 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   During  the three  months  ended  March  31,  1996 and  1995,  the  Company's
principal  source of funds  consisted of cash flow from  operating and financing
sources.  Cash flow from operating activities of $11.2 million and $11.7 million
for the three  months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,  respectively,  was largely
generated by the Company's  leasing  operations,  which  includes the rental and
sale of units from its lease fleet.  The  increase in accrued  expenses at March
31, 1996 is primarily due to a $3.9 million increase in accrued interest.

     The Company has increased its EBITDA and believes that EBITDA  provides the
best  indication of its financial  performance  and provides the best measure of
its ability to meet  historical debt service  requirements.  The Company defines
EBITDA as net income before depreciation,  amortization,  provision for deferred
compensation,  interest and income taxes.  EBITDA as defined by the Company does

<PAGE>

not  represent  cash flow from  operations  as  defined  by  generally  accepted
accounting  principles  and should not be considered as an  alternative  to cash
flows as a measure of liquidity,  nor should it be considered as an  alternative
to net  income as an  indicator  of the  Company's  operating  performance.  The
Company's  EBITDA  increased  by $3.0  million or 24.6% to $15.2  million in the
first three months of 1996 compared to $12.3 million in the same period of 1995.
This increase in EBITDA is a result of increased leasing activity resulting from
the overall  increase in the number of units in the fleet,  offset by  increased
SG&A expenses to support the increased  activities during the three months ended
March 31, 1996.

   Cash flow used in investing  activities  of $6.3 million and $14.1 million in
the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively,  was primarily for
net  additions  to the  Company's  lease fleet,  including  the  acquisition  of
existing lease fleets in 1995. Cash used in financing activities of $5.0 million
in the three  months  ended March 31, 1996 was  primarily  for the  repayment of
borrowings under the line of credit, while cash provided by financing activities
of $2.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 1995 resulted primarily from
the funding of the fleet expansion discussed above.

   The  Company  believes  it will  have,  for the  next 12  months,  sufficient
liquidity  under its  revolving  line of credit  and from  cash  generated  from
operations to meet its expected obligations as they arise.
