                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)


(1)      FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The financial information for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and
         1996 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  31,1997  and its  operating
         results  and cash flows for the three  months  ended March 31, 1997 and
         1996.  The results of  operations  for the periods ended March 31, 1997
         and 1996 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, 1997  Compared  with Three Months Ended March
31, 1996.  Revenues in the quarter  ended March 31, 1997 were $52.7  million,  a
$10.1  million or 23.6%  increase  from  revenues  of $42.6  million in the same
period of 1996. This increase  resulted from a $4.7 million or 17.8% increase in
leasing revenue,  a $2.5 million or 42.2% increase in new sales revenue,  a $1.7
million or 25.7% increase in revenue from delivery and  installation  and a $1.1
million or 31.6% increase in other revenue.  The increase in leasing  revenue is
attributable to an increase in the average number of units in the fleet of 10.3%
to  approximately  41,200 for the first  quarter of 1997,  and increase in fleet
utilization of  approximately  four percentage  points to 86% and an increase of
approximately  $6 in the average  monthly rental rate. The increase in new sales
revenue is due to a large  volume of  classroom  sales  occurring in the Western
region  during  the  first  quarter  of  1997.  The  increase  in  delivery  and
installation  revenue is due to the increases in leasing  activity and new sales
activity  described above.  Other revenue  increased as a result of increases in
the  rental  of steps,  ramps and  furniture  as well as  miscellaneous  revenue
related to services provided for customer-owned units.

     Gross  profit for the quarter was $23.2  million,  a $ 4.4 million or 23.5%
increase  from the first  quarter of 1996.  This increase is primarily due to an
increase  in leasing  gross  profit of $2.8  million or 20.9% and an increase in
gross  profit from  delivery  and  installation  of $0.7  million or 48.2%.  The
increase in leasing  gross profit is due to the  increases  in leasing  activity
described  above as well as an increase in the leasing margins from 50.7% in the
first  quarter  of 1996  to  52.0%  in the  first  quarter  of  1997.  Excluding
depreciation and  amortization,  leasing margins increased from 77.4% in 1996 to
77.5% in 1997.  The increase in gross profit from delivery and  installation  is
due to the increases in the leasing and new sales activity described above.

     Selling,  general and  administrative  (SG&A)  expenses  increased  by $1.3
million or 11.5% from the first  quarter of 1996.  This  increase is a result of
the growth  experienced by the Company,  both in terms of the number of branches
and the size of the fleet.  The  Company's  branch  network has expanded from 51
branches  at March 31, 1996 to 60 branches at March 31, 1997 while the fleet has
grown by approximately  3,900 units from March 31, 1996. Of the overall increase
in SG&A expenses,  $0.7 million  represents  field related  expenses,  primarily
payroll expenses, incurred in connection with this branch expansion.

     Interest expense  increased by $0.5 million or 7.7% in the first quarter of
1997. This relatively minor increase was due to increases in the average balance
outstanding  on the line of credit  during  the  quarter  of $29.8  million,  as
compared  to the first  quarter  of 1996,  offset by a decrease  in the  average
effective interest rate from 8.2% to 8.0%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     During  the three  months  ended  March 31,  1997 and 1996,  the  Company's
principal  source of funds  consisted of cash flow from  operating and financing
sources.  Cash flow from operating activities of $13.3 million and $11.2 million
for the  quarter  ended  March 31,  1997 and  1996,  respectively,  was  largely
generated by the Company's  leasing  operations,  which  includes the rental and
sale of units from its lease fleet.



                                       6

     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 $4.1  million or 26.4% to $19.3  million in the first three
months  of 1997  compared  to $15.2  million  in the same  period  of 1996.  The
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 first quarter of 1997.

     Cash flow used in investing activities of $19.8 million and $6.3 million in
the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively,  was primarily for
net additions to the Company's  lease fleet,  including the  acquisition  of two
lease fleets in 1997 of  approximately  1,400 units.  Cash provided by financing
activities  of $6.5  million in the quarter  ended March 31, 1997 was  primarily
from the funding of the fleet expansion previously described, while cash used in
financing  activities  of $5.0  million in the quarter  ended March 31, 1996 was
primarily for the repayment of borrowings under the line of credit.

     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.
