(1) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    The  financial  information  for the six months ended June 30, 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 June 30,1996 and its  operating  results and cash flows for the three and
    six month  periods  ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.  The results of operations
    for the periods ended June 30, 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 June 30, 1996  Compared  with Three Months Ended June 30,
1995.
Revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 1996 were $44.9  million,  a $6.1 million
or 15.9% increase from revenues of $38.7 million in the same period of 1995. The
increase  resulted  primarily  from a $4.6 million or 19.4%  increase in leasing
revenue and a $1.9 million or 75.1% increase in other  revenue.  The increase in
leasing  revenue is  attributable  to a 10.3%  increase in the average number of
units in the fleet to approximately  38,000 units for the second quarter of 1996
from  approximately  34,000 for the same  period of 1995,  an  increase in fleet
utilization of  approximately  four percentage  points to 84% and an increase of
approximately $10 in the average monthly rental rate. 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 in the second quarter of 1996 was $20.4 million,  a $3.7 million
or 22.5%  increase from the second  quarter of 1995.  This increase is primarily
due to an  increase  in  leasing  gross  profit of $1.5  million or 11.9% and an
increase in gross  profit from other  revenue of $1.8  million.  The increase in
leasing gross profit  reflects the increase in leasing  revenue  described above
offset by a  decrease  in leasing  margins  from 52% in 1995 to 49% in 1996 as a
result  of  increases  in  depreciation  and  amortization  expense.   Excluding
depreciation and  amortization,  leasing margins increased from 75.8% in 1995 to
77.5% in 1996.  The  increase in gross  profit from other  revenue is due to the
increase in other revenue described above.

   Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  increased by $1.7 million or
19.4% from the second quarter of 1995.  This increase is primarily due to a $1.1
million  increase in field related  expenses  which is primarily the result of a
$0.9  million  increase in  personnel  related  expenses.  These  expenses  were
incurred  in  conjunction  with  the  branch  expansion  that  the  Company  has
experienced  as well as increases in selling  expenses  that  resulted  from the
underlying growth in leasing described above.

   Interest expense  increased by $0.9 million or 16.6% in the second quarter of
1996  from the same  period  of 1995.  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. This increase is
the  result of  financing  the fleet and  branch  expansion  by the  Company  as
described above.

   Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 1995.
Revenues  in the six months  ended June 30,  1996 were  $87.5  million,  a $14.0
million or 19.0% increase from revenues of $73.5 million in the six months ended
June 30, 1995.  The  increase  resulted  primarily  from a $9.4 million or 20.7%
increase  in  leasing  revenue  and a $3.2  million or 66.5%  increase  in other
revenue.  The increase in leasing  revenue is attributable to an increase in the
average  number of units in the  lease  fleet of 11.1% to  approximately  38,000
units for the first six months of 1996 from  approximately  34,000 units for the
same  period  in  1995,  an  increase  in  utilization  of  approximately  three
percentage  points to 83% combined with an increase of  approximately  $9 in the
average monthly rental rate for the comparable periods. Other revenue increased



                                       6
<PAGE>

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 in the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $39.1 million,  a $6.8
million  or 20.9%  increase  from the same  period  in 1995.  This  increase  is
primarily  due to an increase in leasing  gross  profit of $2.9 million or 12.0%
and an increase in gross profit from other revenue of $2.9 million. The increase
in leasing  gross  profit is due to the  increase in leasing  revenue  described
above while leasing margins  decreased to 49.9% from 53.8%. This decrease is due
to the increases in depreciation  and  amortization  expense in six months ended
June 30, 1996. Excluding depreciation and amortization, leasing margins remained
constant at 77.4% for the  comparable  periods.  Gross profit from other revenue
increased  primarily  as a result of the  increases in other  revenue  described
above.

   Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  increased by $3.6 million or
20.5% from the six months ended June 30, 1995.  This  increase is comprised of a
$2.5 million  increase in field related  expenses and a $1.1 million increase in
other SG&A  expenses.  The increase in field  related  expenses is due to branch
expansion  experienced by the Company  through the second quarter of 1996 and is
comprised primarily of a $1.8 million increase in personnel related expenses and
a $0.4 million increase in occupancy expenses.

   Interest  expense  increased by $1.9 million or 17.8% in the six months ended
June 30, 1996 from the same period in 1995  primarily as a result of an increase
in the average balance outstanding under the revolving line of credit during the
first  half of 1996.  This  increase  is due to  financing  the fleet and branch
expansion discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   During the six months ended June 30, 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 $21.2 million and $14.8 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively,  was largely generated by
the Company's  leasing  operation,  which  includes the rental and sale of units
from its lease fleet.

   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 taxes.  EBITDA as defined by the  Company  does 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 $7.5 million or 28.9% to $33.3 million for the first half of
1996  compared to $25.9  million for 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 as well as the  increase  in the
monthly  rental  rate,  offset by the  increased  SG&A  expenses  to support the
increased activities during the six months ended June 30, 1996.

   Cash flow used in investing  activities of $27.7 million and $25.6 million in
the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, was primarily for net
additions to the Company's lease fleet.

<PAGE>


Cash provided by financing  activities of $6.4 million and $10.6 million for the
six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, 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.
