           (Dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

(1) ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
    includes the accounts of Williams Scotsman, Inc. (the Company) and its two
    wholly owned subsidiaries Willscot Equipment, LLC (Willscot) and Williams
    Scotsman of Canada, Inc. whose operations have not been significant to date.
    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.

(2) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    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 March 31, 2000 and its
    operating results and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31,
    2000 and 1999. The results of operations for the periods ended March 31,
    2000 and 1999 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.

(3) GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

    The excess of cost over fair values of net assets acquired in purchase
    transactions has been recorded as goodwill and is being amortized on a
    straight line basis over 20 to 40 years. Other identifiable intangibles
    acquired include assembled workforce, covenant not to compete and customer
    base, which are being amortized on a straight line basis over periods of 21
    to 228 months. As of March 31, 2000 and 1999, accumulated amortization was
    $8,094 and $2,970, respectively.

    On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates the carrying value of its
    intangible assets to determine if the facts and circumstances suggest that
    intangible assets may be impaired. If this review indicates that intangible
    assets may not be recoverable, as determined by the undiscounted cash flow
    of the entity acquired over the remaining amortization period, the Company's
    carrying value of intangible assets is reduced by the estimated shortfall of
    cash flows.

(4) INCOME TAXES

    The difference between the Company's reported tax provision for the three
    months ended March 31, 2000 and the tax provision computed based on U.S.
    statutory rates is primarily attributed to non-deductible goodwill
    amortization expense of $1,277.

            Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(5) 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.

(6) 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 are as follows:

Results of Operations

  Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31,
1999.

  Revenues in the quarter ended March 31, 2000 were $95.7 million, a $7.1
million or 8.1% increase from revenues of $88.6 million in the same period of
1999.  The increase resulted from a $4.8 million or 10.2% increase in leasing
revenue, a $3.2 million or 23.5% increase in delivery and installation revenue,
and a $1.2 million or 17.6% increase in other revenue, offset in part by a $1.5
million or 10.3% decrease in new unit sales. The increase in leasing revenue is
attributable to a 11.1% increase in the average lease fleet to approximately
79,900 units at March 31, 2000, combined with an increase of $2 in the average
monthly rental rate, offset by a slight decrease in the average fleet
utilization of approximately one percentage point to 84%.  The increase in the
average monthly rental rate is a result of overall rate improvement in the
Company's products combined with changes in fleet mix. The increase in delivery
and installation revenue is attributable to the increases in the leasing revenue
described above.  Other revenue rose as a result of increases in the rental of
steps, furniture and other miscellaneous revenue related to products and
services provided for leased units. The decrease in new sales revenue is
primarily due to the carryover of sales revenue from the fourth quarter of 1998
into the first quarter of 1999 due to the delays in the completion of delivery
and installation of certain larger projects.

  Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 was $51.6 million, a $5.2
million or 11.3% increase from the first quarter 1999 gross profit of $46.3
million.  This increase is primarily a result of an increase in leasing gross
profit of $3.5 million or 10.8%, delivery and installation gross profit of $1.0
million or 25.4% and other gross profit of $1.1 million or 17.5%.  The increase
in leasing gross profit is a result of the increase in leasing revenue described
above combined with a slight increase in leasing margins from 68.2%

                                       7

in 1999 to 68.5% in 2000. Excluding depreciation and amortization, leasing
margins decreased from 86.2% in 1999 to 84.9% in 2000 due to the concerted
effort by the Company to accelerate the refurbishment of units in the existing
fleet prior to its busier summer season. The increase in delivery and
installation gross profit relates to the 23.5% increase in revenue discussed
above. The increase in other gross profit is attributable to the increases in
related revenue noted above.

  Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the quarter ended
March 31, 2000 were $20.9 million, a $2.6 million or 14.2% increase from the
first quarter of 1999 SG&A expenses of $18.3 million. This increase is the
result of the growth experienced by the Company, both in terms of fleet size and
number of branches which expanded from 82 branches at March 31, 1999 to 85
branches at March 31, 2000. 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 and fleet growth.

  Interest expense increased by $1.7 million or 8.6% to $22.0 million in 2000
from 1999. This increase is the result of increased borrowings to finance fleet
and branch growth.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  During the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company's principal
sources of funds consisted of cash flow from operating and, in 1999, financing
sources.  Cash flow from operating activities of $26.0 million and $27.8 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, were 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 non-
cash compensation expense.  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 $2.6 million or 7.0% to $39.6 million for the first quarter of 2000
compared to $37.0 million for the same period of 1999.  This increase in EBITDA
is a result of increased leasing activity resulting from the overall growth in
the number of units in the fleet and increases in average monthly rental rates
due to rate increases and changes in fleet mix, partially offset by a slight
decrease in utilization and increased SG&A expenses required to support the
expanded activities of the Company during the first quarter of 2000.

  Cash flow used in investing activities was $17.7 million and $53.6 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.  The Company's
primary capital expenditures are for the discretionary purchase of new units for
the lease fleet and units purchased through acquisitions. 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.  The difference between March, 1999
and March, 2000 is primarily attributable to the February 1, 1999 purchase of
Evergreen Mobile Company for approximately $37 million.  Cash used in financing
activities of $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 reflects
the reduction of the Company's debt balance versus the $25.6 million in cash
provided by financing activities for the same period in 1999, which was
primarily from borrowings under the Company's line of credit.

  Availability under the Credit Agreement was $79.1 million at March 31, 2000.
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.
