(1)    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    The financial information for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997
    includes the accounts of Williams Scotsman, Inc. and its wholly owned
    subsidiary Willscot Equipment, LLC (Willscot). Willscot, a special purpose
    subsidiary, was formed in May 1997 and is a guarantor of the Company's
    credit facility and acts as a full, unconditional and joint and several
    subordinated guarantor of the 9 7/8% Senior Notes. The operations of
    Willscot are limited to the leasing of its mobile office units to the
    Company under a master lease and issuing the guarantee.

    The financial information referred to above 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 30,1998 and its
    operating results and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and
    1997. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended
    June 30, 1998 and 1997 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 AND DIVIDENDS PER SHARE

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

(3)    RECAPITALIZATION

    Pursuant to a recapitalization agreement, on May 22, 1997, Scotsman
    Holdings, Inc. (Holdings), the Company's parent company, (i) repurchased
    3,210,679 shares of its outstanding common stock for an aggregate of
    approximately $293,777 in cash and approximately $21,834 in promissory notes
    due January 1998 and (ii) issued 1,475,410 shares of common stock for an
    aggregate of approximately $135,000 (or a price of $91.50 per share) in

    of its outstanding Series B 11% Senior Notes due 2004 ($29,292 aggregate

    fees, (ii) the Company purchased $164,660 aggregate principal amount of its
    9 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2000 for approximately $179,852, including
    accrued interest and fees and (iii) the Company repaid all of its
    outstanding indebtedness ($119,017) under its prior credit facility.
    Additionally, in a series of subsequent transactions, the Company purchased

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)


    principal amount of its 9.5% senior secured notes due 2000 for approximately
    $351, including accrued interest and fees. In conjunction with the debt
    extinguishment, the Company recognized an extraordinary loss of $13,719.

    In connection with the recapitalization, (i) the Company accelerated the
    payment of deferred compensation under its long term incentive plan, (ii)
    all outstanding stock options under Holdings' employee stock option plan
    vested and became immediately exercisable and (iii) the Company canceled a
    portion of the outstanding stock options. Accordingly, in the second quarter
    of 1997, the Company recognized $5,105 of recapitalization expenses
    including $2,489 in connection with the acceleration of deferred
    compensation and $2,616 in connection with the cancellation of the stock
    options.

    In order to finance the recapitalization transaction the Company issued
    $400,000 in 9 7/8% Senior Notes due 2007 and entered into a $300,000
    revolving bank facility. The Company paid a dividend of $178,749 to Holdings
    to pay recapitalization expenses, to repurchase the common stock and to
    purchase the 11% Senior Notes.

(4)    SUMMARIZED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SUBSIDIARY

    The 9 7/8% Senior Notes issued by the Company are guaranteed by Willscot,
    its wholly owned subsidiary. The guarantee is full, unconditional and joint
    and several. The operations of Willscot are limited to leasing its mobile
    office units to the Company under a master lease and paying the Company a
    fee to manage its mobile office units. Accordingly, based on the terms of
    these agreements, it has recorded no net income for the applicable periods.
    Full separate financial statements of the guarantor subsidiary have not been
    included because management has determined that they are not material to
    investors. Summarized financial statements of Willscot as of June 30, 1998
    and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 are as follows:

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


Results of Operations

  Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30,
1997. Revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 1998 were $63.6 million, a $7.6
million or 13.6% increase from revenues of $56.0 million in the same period of
1997. This increase resulted primarily from a $4.3 million or 14.7% increase in
leasing revenue, a $0.9 million or 29.0% increase in used sales revenue, a $1.6
million or 16.7% increase in delivery and sitework revenue, and a $0.6 million
or 11.6% increase in other revenue. The increase in leasing revenue is
attributable to an increase in the average number of units in the fleet of 17.6%
to approximately 50,900 for the second quarter of 1998, combined with stable
fleet utilization of 85%, offset by a slight overall decrease in the average
monthly rental rate. This overall decrease in average monthly rental rate is a
result of modest rate increases in its major products offset by changes in fleet
mix. The increase in used sales revenue is due to the increase in volume of
sales as a result of the growth of the Company's lease fleet as discussed below.
Delivery and sitework revenue increased as a result of the increases in leasing
and sales activity described above. Other revenue increased as a result of
increases in the rental of steps as well as miscellaneous revenue related to
services provided for customer-owned units.

  Gross profit for the quarter was $33.3 million, a $8.0 million or 31.9%
increase from the second quarter of 1997. This increase is primarily due to an
increase in leasing gross profit of $5.7 million or 34.5%, an increase in gross
profit from delivery and sitework of $0.7 million or 28.3%, in gross profit from
other revenue of $1.0 million or 26.6%. The increase in leasing gross profit is
due to an increase in the leasing activity described above combined with an
increase in leasing margins from 57.0% for the second quarter of 1997 to 66.8%
for the second quarter of 1998, primarily due to a decrease in depreciation
expense resulting from the change in estimated residual value of rental
equipment made in October 1997. Excluding depreciation and amortization, leasing
margins increased from 84.9% to 85.2%. The increase in the gross profit from
delivery and sitework revenue is due to the increased activity described above,
coupled with margin improvement of 2.8 percentage points relating to usage of
in-house personnel as opposed to more expensive outside subcontractors. The
increase in gross profit from other revenue is primarily due to the increase of
revenue in this category as described above.

  Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by $1.3 million
or 10.7% from the second quarter of 1997. This increase is the result of the
growth experienced by the Company, both in terms of fleet size and number of
branches as compared to the second quarter of 1997. The Company's branch network
has expanded from 67 branches at June 30, 1997 to 76 branches at June 30, 1998
while the fleet has grown by approximately 9,300 units from June 30, 1997. The
overall increases in SG&A expenses are due to increases in field related
expenses, primarily payroll and occupancy expenses incurred in connection with
this branch expansion.

  Interest expense increased by $4.8 million or 49.4% in the second quarter of
1998 from the same period of 1997. This increase is a result of increased
borrowings to finance the recapitalization of the Company's parent, Scotsman
Holdings, Inc., in May 1997 and as a result of financing the fleet and branch
growth described above.

  Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 1997.
Revenues in the six months ended June 30, 1998 were $121.7 million, a $13.0
million or 12.0% increase from revenues $108.7 million in the six months ended
June 30, 1997. The increase resulted primarily from a $8.1 million or 14.2%
increase in leasing revenue, a $1.1 million or 17.6% increase in used sales
revenue, a $1.3 million or 7.3% increase in delivery and installation revenue
and a $1.6 million or 16.3% 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 17.0% to approximately 49,400 units for the first six months of
1998 combined with stable utilization of 86%, offset by a slight overall
decrease in the average monthly rental rate. This overall decrease in average
monthly rental rate is a result of modest rate increases in its major products
offset by changes in fleet mix. The increase in used sales revenue is
attributable to the increase in the volume of sales as a result of the growth of
the Company's lease fleet as described below. Delivery and installation revenue
increased as a result of the increases in leasing and sales activity described
above, coupled with margin improvement of 2.1 percentage points relating to
usage of in-house personnel as opposed to more expensive outside subcontractors.
Other revenue increased as a result of increases in the rental of steps as well
as miscellaneous revenue related to services provided for customer-owned units.

  Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $63.6 million, a $15.2
million or 31.5% increase from gross profit of $48.4 million during the same
period of 1997. This increase is primarily due to an increase in leasing gross
profit of $11.3 million or 35.1%, an increase in gross profit from new sales of
$0.7 million or 25.5%, an increase in gross profit from delivery and
installation of $0.7 million or 15.6% and an increase in gross profit from other
revenue of $2.0 million or 27.3%. The increase in leasing gross profit is due to
the increase in leasing revenue described above combined with an increase in the
leasing margins from 54.6% in 1997 to 66.7% in 1998, primarily due to a decrease
in depreciation expense resulting from the change in estimated residual value of
rental equipment made in October 1997. Excluding depreciation and amortization,
leasing margins increased from 84.5% in 1997 to 85.2% in 1998. The increases in
gross profit from new sales and delivery and installation are due to the
increases in sales and leasing activity described above. The increase in gross
profit from other revenue is primarily due to the increase of revenue in this
category as described above.

  Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by $2.8 million
or 11.6% from 1997. This increase is the result of the growth experienced by the
Company, both in terms of fleet size and number of branches as compared to 1997.
As noted above, the Company's branch network has expanded from 67 branches at
June 30, 1997 to 76 branches at June 30, 1998 while the fleet has grown by
approximately 9,300 units from June 30, 1997. The overall increases in SG&A
expenses are due to increases in field related expenses, primarily payroll and
occupancy, incurred in connection with this branch expansion.

  Interest expense increased by 73.4% to $28.4 million in 1998 from $16.4
million in 1997. This increase is a result of increased borrowings to finance
the recapitalization of the Company's parent, Scotsman Holdings, Inc., in May
1997 and as a result of financing the fleet and branch growth described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  During the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company's principal
sources of funds consisted of cash flow from operating and financing sources.
Cash flow from operating activities of $25.6 million and $12.8 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, was largely generated by
the rental of units from the Company's 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 interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and
provision for deferred compensation. 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 $8.1 million or 19.7% to $49.2 million for the first half of
1998 compared to $41.1 million for the same period of 1997. This increase in
EBITDA is a result of increased leasing activity resulting from the overall
increases in the number of units in the fleet and stable utilization, partially
offset by a slight decline in the average monthly rental rate due to changes in
fleet mix and increased SG&A expenses required to support the increased
activities during the first half of 1998.

  Cash flow used in investing activities was $64.5 million and $41.1 million in
the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The Company's primary
capital expenditures are for the discretionary purchase of new units for the
lease fleet and units purchased through acquisition. The Company seeks to
maintain its lease fleet in good condition at all times and generally increases
the size of its lease fleet only in those local or regional markets experiencing
economic growth and established unit demand. Cash provided by financing
activities of $39.0 million and $28.3 million in the six months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997, respectively, was primarily from borrowings under the line of
credit offset by dividends paid to the parent company in 1998 primarily to
effect the repayment of the parent company's promissory note payable in
connection with the recapitalization.

  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.
