PART I
Item 1. Business
General
Scotsman Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings" or the "Company") was incorporated
under the laws of Delaware in November 1993 for the purpose of acquiring
Williams Scotsman, Inc., formerly The Scotsman Group, Inc. ("Scotsman"). The
Company conducts business solely as a holding company, the only significant
asset of which is the capital stock of Scotsman. Therefore, any cash dividends
to be paid on the Company's common stock, or cash interest to be paid on notes
of the Company, are dependent upon the cash flows of Scotsman. Based upon
management's assessment of the industry, the Company believes that Scotsman is
the second largest lessor of mobile office units in the United States as ranked
by lease fleet size and revenues. Scotsman maintains a fleet of approximately
40,600 units which are leased through a network of 56 branch offices in 32
states. To a lesser extent, Scotsman also sells new and used mobile office units
and sells and leases modular structures. Scotsman's products provide flexible,
relocatable, cost-effective and timely solutions for space requirements.
Scotsman has over 12,500 customers operating in approximately 450 diverse
industries including education, utilities, health care, chemicals, engineering
services and construction.
Scotsman's primary business is the leasing of mobile office units. These
units typically range in size from eight to 14 feet in width and 16 to 70 feet
in length and are generally constructed using a steel frame undercarriage with
an exterior of wood or aluminum. Scotsman has the flexibility to readily adapt
its lease fleet units to meet a wide variety of customer needs. Units can be
configured using any combination of Scotsman's standard products which are
offered in a variety of sizes and floor plans. The basic functional design of
mobile office units has remained virtually unchanged since the inception of the
industry in the 1940s. Mobile office units are extremely durable and, due in
part to an active maintenance program, Scotsman's units retain a significant
percentage of their original value. Scotsman's lease fleet units have an average
age of approximately eight years and an estimated economic useful life of
approximately 20 years.
To a lesser extent, Scotsman also sells, leases and services modular
structures, which compete with conventional space alternatives. Modular
structures revenues represented less than 1% of total revenues in the year ended
December 31, 1996. Each modular structure typically is three thousand square
feet or more in size and comprises several smaller units which are assembled
into a single structure at the building site. Modular structures can generally
be dismantled and refurbished as individual mobile office units and returned to
Scotsman's lease fleet.
On December 16, 1993, Holdings acquired all of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of Scotsman. In connection with the acquisition, and related
refinancing (the "Acquisition"), Scotsman issued $165.0 million aggregate
principal amount of 9 1/2% Senior Secured Notes Due 2000 and entered into a Loan
and Security Agreement with Congress Financial Corporation and the Company
issued $20.6 million of convertible promissory notes (the "3.83% Notes") to
1
<PAGE>
Odyssey Partners. Upon consummation of the Acquisition, Scotsman retired certain
existing indebtedness consisting of $175.0 million principal amount of 11.31%
Senior Secured notes and a $15.6 million senior secured credit facility.
Scotsman and its predecessors have operated in the mobile office and
modular structures industry since 1945. In 1990 Scotsman more than doubled its
size through the combination (the "Williams Merger") of Scotsman Manufacturing
Co., Inc. ("Scotsman Manufacturing") with Williams Mobile Offices, Inc.
("Williams"). Since 1990, Scotsman has substantially eliminated duplicate
functions of the two predecessor companies, eliminated manufacturing operations,
and repositioned itself to significantly reduce its modular structures
operations and focus on its core leasing activities, which accounted for
substantially all of the total gross profit in the year ended December 31, 1996.
Scotsman purchases its new units through third-party suppliers. Scotsman
believes there are numerous manufacturers and suppliers of mobile office units
and modular structures which supply these products at competitive prices
throughout the United States. Scotsman anticipates being able to procure an
adequate supply of product on acceptable terms for its projected operational
requirements. Scotsman does not believe that the loss of any one of its
suppliers would have a material adverse effect on its operations.
Recent Developments
The Company has announced that it is considering various strategic
alternatives, including a sale of the Company. In this connection, Holdings has
retained Goldman, Sachs & Co. as its financial advisor. There can be no
assurance that any transaction will be consummated.
Operating Strategy
Due to the local and regional nature of its business, Scotsman's goals are
to become the leader in each of the local markets in which it competes and to
expand its coverage to additional local markets. To achieve market leadership,
Scotsman has implemented a strategy which emphasizes (i) superior service, (ii)
a well maintained, readily available and versatile lease fleet, (iii) effective
fleet management using proprietary information systems, and (iv) targeted
marketing through an experienced and motivated sales force. Scotsman believes
that it is generally the first or second largest provider of relocatable space
in each of its regional markets as measured by lease fleet size and revenues.
Scotsman's branch offices are distributed throughout the United States and are
located in the majority of the major metropolitan areas.
To further its market leadership, expand its coverage to additional local
markets and leverage its existing cost structure, Scotsman plans to continue to
capitalize on the industry's fragmentation by acquiring mobile office lease
fleets. During 1994, Scotsman acquired approximately 5,500 units through the
2
<PAGE>
acquisition of Mobile Holdings, Inc. ("MFO") in September and from other lease
fleet acquisitions. During 1995 and 1996, Scotsman acquired a total of
approximately 3,600 units through the acquisition of various lease fleets. See
note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements included elsewhere herein. Increased
penetration in existing markets through acquisitions of competitors allows the
elimination of duplicate branch offices and overhead, an expanded customer base
and facilitates higher profitability. Expanded coverage to additional local
markets allows Scotsman to capitalize on market-specific opportunities,
diversify geographically and further leverage its cost structure.
Competition
Although Scotsman's competition varies significantly by market, the mobile
office and modular structure industry, in general, is highly competitive.
Scotsman competes primarily in terms of product availability, customer service
and price. Scotsman believes that its reputation for customer service and its
ability to offer a wide selection of units suitable for many varied uses at
competitive prices allow it to compete effectively. However, certain of
Scotsman's competitors are less leveraged, have greater market share or product
availability in a given market and have greater financial resources than
Scotsman.
Employees
At December 31, 1996, Scotsman employed 607 persons. None of Scotsman's
employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Scotsman considers
its relationship with its employees to be good.
The Company has no employees other than its officers, all of whom are also
officers of Scotsman.
Regulatory Matters
Scotsman must comply with various federal, state and local environmental,
health and safety laws and regulations in connection with its operations.
Scotsman believes that it is in substantial compliance with applicable
environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. In addition to compliance
costs, Scotsman may incur costs related to alleged environmental damage
associated with past or current properties owned or leased by it. Scotsman
believes that its liability, if any, for any environmental remediation will have
no material adverse effect on its financial condition.

outstanding stock of Scotsman. The acquisition was accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting by Holdings and, accordingly, the total cost
was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their
estimated fair values. Scotsman restated its balance sheet to "push down"
the effects of the purchase accounting adjustments.
(2) Restructuring costs consist primarily of costs incurred in connection with
the acquisition of Scotsman by Holdings in December 1993.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The following discussion regarding the financial condition and results of
operations of the Company for the three fiscal years ended December 31, 1996
should be read in conjunction with the more detailed information and Financial
Statements included elsewhere herein.
General
The Company is a holding company formed in November 1993, and conducts its
business solely through Scotsman, its wholly-owned subsidiary. Scotsman derives
its revenues and earnings from the leasing and sale of mobile office units and
modular structures and their delivery and installation. Leasing operations
account for a majority of Scotsman's revenues and gross profits and primarily
comprise the leasing of mobile office units and the sale of units from
Scotsman's lease fleet. Used mobile office units are sold by Scotsman in the
ordinary course of its business at either fair market value or pursuant to
pre-established lease purchase options. Scotsman's cash flow from leasing
operations is favorably affected by the sale of used units from Scotsman's lease
fleet, as the costs of such units generally have been incurred in previous
fiscal periods. Accordingly, the sale of used units results in the availability
of the total cash proceeds and the reporting of gross profit on such sales.
New unit sales revenues are derived from the sale of new mobile offices,
similar to those units rented by Scotsman, and from the sale of modular
structures. Revenues from delivery and installation result from activities
related to the transportation and installation of and site preparation for both
leased and sold products. Other revenues are derived from the sale of parts,
granting of insurance waivers and other services provided by Scotsman.
Scotsman's business is affected by the economic conditions of the local or
regional markets in which it operates. Economic conditions have an impact upon
rental rates, fleet utilization and new unit sales. Scotsman, however, believes
that mobile office leasing is less affected by unfavorable economic conditions
than its other operations and that during periods of economic uncertainty many
businesses postpone or delay making major capital expenditures for space needs
and instead choose the flexibility and lower cost of leasing mobile offices.
10
<PAGE>
Results of Operations
Fiscal 1996 Compared With Fiscal 1995. Revenues in fiscal 1996 were $195.1
million, a $36.6 million or 23.1% increase from revenues of $158.5 million in
fiscal 1995. The increase resulted from a $20.3 million or 21.0% increase in
leasing revenue, a $4.9 million or 21.3% increase in new sales revenue, a $4.6
million or 16.4% increase in delivery and installation revenue and a $6.8
million or 63.3% increase in other revenue. The increase in leasing revenue is
attributable to a 10% increase in the average lease fleet to approximately
38,600 units, an increase in the average fleet utilization of approximately four
percentage points to 85% and an increase of $10 in the average monthly rental
rate. The increase in new sales revenue is primarily due to the overall branch
expansion that the Company has experienced during 1995 and 1996. The increase in
delivery and installation revenue is attributable to the increases in the
leasing and new unit sales revenue 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 in fiscal 1996 was $85.6 million, a $17.6 million or 25.8%
increase from fiscal 1995 gross profit of $68.1 million. This increase is
primarily a result of an increase in leasing gross profit of $9.6 million or
19.1% and gross profit from other revenue of $5.5 million or 67.6%. The increase
in gross profit from leasing is a result of the increase in leasing revenue
described above while the leasing profit margins dropped slightly. This decline
in leasing profit margins is a result of the increases in depreciation and
amortization expense during fiscal 1996. Excluding depreciation and
amortization, leasing margins increased from 76.1% for fiscal 1995 to 77.2% for
fiscal 1996. The increase in gross profit from other revenue is due to the
increase in other revenue described above.
Selling, general and administrative (S,G&A) expenses increased by $6.0
million or 16.4% from fiscal 1995, primarily due to an increase in field related
expenses. This increase is a result of the branch expansion activity experienced
by the Company during fiscal 1995 and 1996 and is comprised of a $3.6 million
increase in personnel expenses and a $0.7 million increase in occupancy
expenses.
Interest expense increased by 14.3% to $28.9 million in fiscal 1996 from
$25.3 million in fiscal 1995 primarily as a result of the increase in the
average balances outstanding under Scotsman's revolving line of credit. The
increase is due to financing the fleet expansion and growth experienced by the
Company during 1996.
Fiscal 1995 Compared With Fiscal 1994. Revenues in fiscal 1995 were $158.5
million, a $24.5 million or 18.3% increase from revenues of $134.0 million in
fiscal 1994. The increase resulted primarily from a $17.2 million or 21.6%
increase in leasing revenue and a $4.9 million or 84.1% increase in other
revenue. The increase in leasing revenue is attributable to a 23.9% increase in
11
<PAGE>
the average lease fleet to approximately 35,000 units, while average rental
rates declined slightly due to a change in the fleet mix and utilization dropped
slightly. The increase in the fleet reflects the acquisition activity by the
Company during 1995 as well as general fleet expansion. The increase in other
revenue is due to the overall increases in revenue enhancement programs,
primarily the rental of steps, as well as miscellaneous revenue related to
services provided for customer-owned units.
Gross profit in fiscal 1995 was $68.1 million, a $16.0 million or 30.8%
increase from fiscal 1994 gross profit of $52.0 million. This increase is
primarily a result of an increase in leasing gross profit of $10.0 million or
25.1% and gross profit from other revenue which increased by $3.8 million or
89.2%. The increase in gross profit from leasing is a result of the increase in
leasing revenue described above as well as an increase in the leasing profit
margin to 51.8% from 50.4% in 1994. Excluding depreciation and amortization,
leasing margins increased from 74.1% in fiscal 1994 to 76.1% in fiscal 1995. The
increase in gross profit from other revenue is due to the increase in other
revenue described above.
Selling, general and administrative (S,G&A) expenses increased by $7.0
million or 23.8% from fiscal 1994. This increase is comprised of a $5.1 million
increase in field related expenses, a $0.8 million increase in expenses related
to the deferred compensation plan and a $1.1 million increase in other S,G&A
expenses. The increase in field related expenses is the result of lease fleet
acquisitions and branch expansion activity experienced by the Company during
fiscal 1995 and is comprised primarily of a $3.9 million increase in personnel
expenses and a $0.9 million increase in occupancy expenses.
Interest expense increased by 19.9% to $25.3 million in 1995 from $21.1
million in fiscal 1994 primarily as a result of the increase in the average
balances outstanding under Scotsman's revolving line of credit during 1995. This
increase is the result of financing fleet expansion and acquisitions made by the
Company.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During fiscal 1994, 1995 and 1996, Scotsman's principal sources of funds
consisted of cash flow from operating and financing sources. Cash flow from
operating activities of $21.6 million in fiscal 1994, $33.8 million in fiscal
1995 and $46.0 million in fiscal 1996 was largely generated by its leasing
operations which included the rental and sale of units from the Company's lease
fleet. Mobile office leasing operations have been the most reliable source of
the Company's cash flow.
The Company has increased its EBITDA and believes that EBITDA provides the
best indicator 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, interest, provision for
12
<PAGE>
deferred compensation, and income 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
flow 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 $18.8 million or 33.4% to $75.3 million in fiscal 1996
compared to $56.5 million in fiscal 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, and new unit sales activity, partially offset by increased
SG&A expenses to support the increased activities during fiscal 1996.
Cash flow used in investing activities was $46.7 million in fiscal 1994,
$68.0 million in fiscal 1995 and $70.0 million in fiscal 1996. Scotsman's
primary capital requirements are for the purchase of new units for its lease
fleet and units purchased through acquisition. Scotsman 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. During fiscal 1994, 1995 and 1996, Scotsman significantly increased its
net capital expenditures through purchases of new units for the rental fleet,
capital improvements and betterments for existing units and the acquisitions of
existing rental fleets including the acquisition of MFO in 1994, increasing the
size of the rental fleet by approximately 8,000 units during 1994, 4,000 units
during 1995 and 3,000 during 1996. This increased activity was in response to
increased customer demand and the implementation of Scotsman's acquisition
strategy. The following table sets forth Scotsman's investment in its lease
fleet for the periods indicated.

additions. For instance, Scotsman believes that during an economic downturn it
13
<PAGE>
can sell used units while limiting additions to its lease fleet to maintain cash
flow. Selling used units during an economic downturn may result in lower sales
prices for the Units. During fiscal 1994, 1995 and 1996, selling prices for used
units (excluding units sold pursuant to purchase options) averaged approximately
102%, 101% and 97%, respectively, of total capitalized cost of the unit. Such
costs include the cost of the unit as well as costs of significant improvements
made to the unit. See further explanation below and note 2 of Notes to Financial
Statements. Historically, Scotsman has recognized net gains on the sale of used
units.
Lease fleet maintenance expenses represent the costs for repairing,
refurbishing and servicing used units and are included in Scotsman's cost of
leasing. Generally, costs of improvements and betterments aggregating less than
$1,000 per unit are expensed as incurred. Expenditures greater than $1,000 that
significantly extend the economic useful life of a unit or that materially alter
a unit's composition are capitalized. Scotsman's maintenance and refurbishment
program is designed to help (i) maintain the value of lease fleet units and (ii)
realize rental rates and operating cash flows from older units comparable to
those from newer units. The sale of used units helps preserve the overall high
quality of Scotsman's lease fleet and enhances cash flow.
Other capital expenditures of $1.2 million, $6.9 million and $10.3 million
in fiscal, 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively, consist of those capital
expenditures for items not directly related to the lease fleet such as branch or
headquarters equipment, leasehold improvements and management information
systems.
Cash provided by financing activities was $24.3 million in 1994, $33.8
million in 1995 and $24.0 million in 1996. Cash flow was generated primarily
from net borrowings of long term debt, proceeds from issuance of common stock in
1994, offset by the purchase of treasury stock in 1996.
Scotsman's credit facility, at December 31, 1996, provides for a total line
of credit up to an aggregate principal amount of $120.0 million at any time
outstanding. Effective January 31, 1997, the facility was amended to increase
the total line of credit to an aggregate principal amount of $140.0 million. The
credit facility has three components, as amended: (i) a revolving line of credit
in an aggregate amount of up to $20.0 million at any one time outstanding to be
used by Scotsman for general operating and working capital purposes of Scotsman
and other corporate purposes (other than non-ordinary course acquisitions), (ii)
a line of credit in an amount of up to $110.0 million to be used to purchase new
fleet or to pay the cash purchase price (and related expenses) for future arm's
length acquisitions of assets or stock of companies in the same or similar
businesses as the business in which Scotsman is currently engaged and (iii) a
line of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $10.0 million which may be used
either for the purposes described in subsection (i) or subsection (ii) above at
Scotsman's option. The credit facility, as amended, matures on December 16,
1997, and is secured by a first lien on substantially all of the assets of
Scotsman and can be extended to December 16, 1998 at the option of the Company.
Approximately $103.8 million is outstanding under the credit facility at
14
<PAGE>
December 31, 1996. The credit facility contains certain financial covenants and
provides for certain events of default as are customarily contained in
facilities of a similar type.
Interest on the loans under the credit facility, as amended, is payable
monthly at the rate of 0.25% per annum in excess of the prime rate from time to
time publicly announced by Philadelphia National Bank, changing monthly with
each change in prime rate or 2.50% per annum in excess of LIBOR, with the
applicable rate to be selected at Scotsman's option.
The Company believes that Scotsman will have, for the next 12 months,
sufficient liquidity under its credit facility and from cash generated from
operations to meet its expected obligations as they arise.
Seasonality
Scotsman's operations are somewhat seasonal, with some effect on revenues
but little or no seasonal effect upon earnings.
Inflation
Scotsman believes that inflation has not had a material effect on its
results of operations. However, an inflationary environment could materially
increase interest rates on Scotsman's floating rate debt and the replacement
cost of units in Scotsman's lease fleet. The price of used units sold by
Scotsman could also increase in such an environment. In addition, Scotsman may
seek to limit its exposure to interest rate fluctuations by utilizing certain
hedging mechanisms, although it is under no obligation to do so.

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Scotsman Holdings, Inc. was organized in November 1993 for the purpose of
acquiring The Scotsman Group, Inc. Effective January 1, 1997, The Scotsman
Group, Inc. changed its name to Williams Scotsman, Inc. (Williams Scotsman).
The operations of Scotsman Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) consist
of the leasing and sale of mobile offices and, to a lesser extent, modular
structures (equipment) and their delivery and installation. Leasing operations
account for a majority of the Company's revenues and gross profits and are
primarily comprised of the leasing of mobile office and storage units and the
sale of units from the Company's lease fleet.
1994 Acquisition
On September 14, 1994, the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of
common stock of Mobile Holdings, Inc. (Mobile) for an aggregate cost of $9,538.
The acquisition, which was effective as of August 31, 1994, was accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the total cost has
been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their
estimated fair values as follows:
Rental equipment $16,648
Property, plant and equipment 2,055
Long-term debt assumed (5,505)
Deferred income taxes recorded (4,313)
Other net liabilities assumed (702)
-------
Net assets acquired 8,183
Excess of cost over net assets acquired (goodwill) 1,355
-------
Total cost $ 9,538
=======
The long-term debt was repaid subsequent to the acquisition. A deferred income
tax liability was recorded for the tax effect of differences between the bases
of Mobile's assets and liabilities for tax and financial reporting purposes.

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Unaudited pro forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1994,
assuming that the acquisition of Mobile had occurred on January 1, 1994, are
presented below:
Total revenues $ 140,365
Net income (267)
Net income per common share $ (0.08)
The pro forma results include the historical accounts of the Company and the
historical accounts for the acquired business adjusted to reflect (1)
depreciation and amortization of the acquired identifiable tangible and
intangible assets based on the new cost basis of the acquisition, (2) interest
on acquisition financing and (3) the elimination of non-recurring expenses. The
pro forma results of operations are not necessary indicative of actual results
which might have occurred had the operations and management teams of the Company
and the acquired company been combined in prior years.
Summary of Significant Accounting Principles
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
(a) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements
and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
25
<PAGE>
Scotsman Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(b) Leasing Operations (continued)
Equipment is leased generally under operating leases and, occasionally,
under sales-type lease arrangements. Operating lease terms generally
range from 3 months to 36 months, and contractually averaged
approximately 12 months at December 31, 1996. Rents billed in advance are
initially deferred and recognized as revenue over the term of the
operating leases. Rental equipment is depreciated by the straight-line
method using an estimated economic useful life of 10 to 20 years and an
estimated residual value of either $1,000 or 20%. Costs of improvements
and betterments are capitalized, whereas costs of replacement items,
repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred for
equipment to meet particular lease specifications are capitalized and
depreciated over the lease term. However, costs aggregating less than
$1,000 per unit are generally expensed as incurred.
(c) Deferred Financing Costs
Costs of obtaining long-term debt are amortized over the term of the debt
by the interest method.
(d) Property, Plant and Equipment
Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over estimated
useful lives ranging from 20 to 40 years for buildings and improvements
and 3 to 12 years for furniture and equipment.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
(e) Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on
deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The loan agreement for the revolving credit facility, as amended, provides for a
$120,000 revolving credit facility which matures December 16, 1997 and can be
extended for an additional year at the option of the Company. Interest is
payable at a rate of either prime plus .25% or LIBOR plus 2.50% at the option of
the Company. The weighted average interest rate was 8.18% at December 31, 1996.

<PAGE>
Scotsman Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
3. Long-Term Debt (continued)
Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by a first priority lien on and
security interest in the Company's rental equipment, accounts receivable and
property, plant and equipment. In addition to the restrictions and limitations
described under the note agreement, the credit facility loan agreement requires
compliance with certain financial covenants including maintenance of minimum net
worth, working capital, number of units in the lease fleet and fleet
utilization.
The 9.5% senior secured notes are due December 15, 2000 with interest payable
semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year. On or after December 15,
1997, the notes are redeemable at the option of the Company, at redemption
prices of 103.167% and 101.583% during the 12 month periods beginning December
15, 1997 and 1998, respectively, and 100% thereafter (subject to price
adjustment under certain events). Upon the occurrence of a change of control,
the holders of the notes have the right to require the Company to repurchase the
notes at a purchase price of 101%. The notes are secured by a second priority
lien on and security interest in the collateral under the revolving credit loan
agreement. The note agreement limits or restricts the Company's ability to incur
additional indebtedness, issue preferred stock, make distributions of capital in
an amount not to exceed 50% of accumulated earnings, dispose of property, incur
liens on property and merge with or acquire other companies.
On March 2, 1994, the Company completed a private placement of 21,250 securities
consisting of $21,250 principal amount of 11% Series A senior notes due March 1,
2004 and 173,648 shares of the Company's common stock. The common stock was
assigned a value of $2,042 based on a per share price of $11.76. The remaining
proceeds of $19,208 were assigned to the notes. The discount on the notes of
$2,042 is being accreted over the maturity period. The proceeds of this offering
were used to retire unsecured convertible notes payable to a stockholder of the
Company of $20,000. Interest on the 11% notes is payable semi-annually in
additional notes or cash through March 1, 1999, and payable in cash thereafter.
The Company elected to pay all interest payments due under the notes in
additional notes payable aggregating $6,514. These notes bear interest at 11%
and are due March 1, 2004. On or after March 1, 1999, the notes are redeemable
at the option of the Company, at redemption prices of $104.125%, 102.750% and
101.375% during the 12 month periods beginning March 1, 1999, 2000 and 2001,
respectively, and 100% thereafter. Upon the occurrence of a change of control,
the holders of the notes have the right to require the Company to repurchase the
notes at a purchase price of 101%.

3. Long-Term Debt (continued)
Effective August 12, 1994, the Company completed the registration of 11% Series
B notes. Such notes have been exchanged for all of the outstanding 11% Series A
senior notes. The form and terms of the Series B notes are identical to the form
and terms of the Series A notes except that the Series B notes have been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and do not bear any
legends restricting the transfer thereof.
At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the fair value of long-term debt was
approximately $297,000 and $266,000 respectively, based on the quoted market
prices of the senior secured notes and the Series B notes, and the book value of
the revolving credit facility, which is an adjustable rate note.
4. Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes related to temporary differences between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and the respective amounts reported in the financial
statements are summarized as follows:

4. Income Taxes (continued)
In December 1993, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding stock
of Williams Scotsman. For financial statement purposes, the acquisition was
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting by the Company. In
connection with the acquisition of Williams Scotsman, the tax bases of the
assets and liabilities of Williams Scotsman prior to the acquisition are carried
over and continue as the tax bases of Williams Scotsman. As a result, the
Company recorded deferred income tax liabilities of $13,455 representing the tax
effect of the differences between such tax bases and the related amounts
recorded as the cost of the acquisition for financial reporting purposes.
At December 31, 1996, the Company had net operating loss carryovers available
for federal income tax purposes of approximately $77,369, including
pre-acquisition separate company loss carryovers available for federal income
tax purposes of approximately $67,315, and investment tax credit carryovers of
approximately $860. These carryovers expire at various dates from 2000 to 2009.
Also, alternative minimum tax credit carryovers of approximately $1,465 are
available without expiration limitations. The annual utilization of the
preacquisition net operating loss carryovers is subject to certain limitations
under the Internal Revenue Code.
The income tax expense (benefit) consists of the following:

Rent expense was $2,875 in 1996, and $2,605 in 1995 and $2,288 in 1994.
6. Employee Benefit Plans
The Company has adopted a defined contribution plan (the 401(k) Plan) which is
intended to satisfy the tax qualification requirements of Sections 401(a),
401(k), and 401(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code). The 401(k)
Plan covers substantially all employees and permits participants to contribute
the lessor of (i) 15% of their annual compensation from the Company and (ii) the
dollar limit described in Section 402(g) of the Code ($9,500 in 1996). All
amounts under this salary reduction feature are fully vested.

<PAGE>
Scotsman Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
6. Employee Benefit Plans (continued)
The 401(k) Plan has a "matching" contribution feature under which the Company
may contribute a percentage of the amount deferred by each participant. The Plan
also has a "profit sharing" feature, under which the Company may contribute, at
its discretion, an additional amount allocable to the accounts of active
participants meeting the aforementioned eligibility requirements.
Contributions by the Company to the 401(k) Plan were approximately $243 in 1996,
$129 in 1995 and $54 in 1994.
The Company recorded $1,800, $1,775 and $925 of management incentive
compensation in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, including deferred
compensation of $1,400 in 1996, $1,375 in 1995, and $525 in 1994, in connection
with the Incentive Compensation Plan (the Plan). The Plan covers approximately
40 management members of the Company. Under the terms of the Plan, incentive
compensation is payable annually to members of the Plan, based upon Williams
Scotsman achieving certain earnings before interest, income taxes, provision for
deferred compensation, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) targets. In
addition, if certain cumulative EBITDA targets are met over the five year period
ending December 31, 1998, additional compensation will be payable in 1999.
In March 1995, the Company adopted a stock option plan for certain key
employees. Under the plan, employees may be granted options to purchase up to a
total of 7.5% of the Company's outstanding common stock. The options are granted
with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares as of the date of
grant . The options vest ratably over 5 years and expire 10 years from the date
of the grant. The Company accounts for stock option grants in accordance with
APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and,
accordingly, recognizes no compensation expense for the stock option grants.

6. Employee Benefit Plans (continued)
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation", and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its
employee stock options under the minimum value method of that Statement. The
minimum value for these options was estimated at the date of grant by
calculating the excess of the fair value of the stock at the date of grant over
the present value of both the exercise price and the expected dividend payments,
each discounted at the risk free rate, over the expected exercise life of the
option. The following weighted average assumptions were used for 1996 and 1995,
respectively: risk free interest rate of 6%; weighted average expected life of
the options of 5 years; and no dividends.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated minimum value of the
options is amortized to expense over the options vesting period. The effects of
applying SFAS 123 for pro forma disclosures in the current year are not
necessarily representative of the effects on pro forma net income for future
years. The Company's pro forma information follows:

7. Related Party Transactions
In connection with the acquisition of Williams Scotsman by the Company, Williams
Scotsman entered into a management agreement with a subsidiary of the principal
stockholder of the Company. The agreement provides that Williams Scotsman will
pay an annual fee of up to $250 in consideration for certain management,
consulting and financial advisory services. The Company incurred expenses of
$250 for these services in 1996, 1995 and 1994.
8. Other
The Company is considering various strategic alternatives, including a sale of
the Company. There can be no assurance that any transaction will be consummated.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Williams Scotsman, Inc. (the Company) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Scotsman
Holdings, Inc. (Holdings), a corporation which was organized in November 1993
for the purpose of acquiring the Company. The Company changed its name from The
Scotsman Group, Inc. to Williams Scotsman, Inc. effective January 1, 1997.
The operations of the Company consist of the leasing and sale of mobile offices
and, to a lesser extent, modular structures (equipment) and their delivery and
installation. Leasing operations account for a majority of the Company's
revenues and gross profits and are primarily comprised of the leasing of mobile
office and storage units and the sale of units from the Company's lease fleet.
1994 Acquisition
On September 14, 1994, the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of
common stock of Mobile Holdings, Inc. (Mobile) for an aggregate cost of $9,538.
The acquisition, which was effective as of August 31, 1994, was accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the total cost has
been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their
estimated fair values as follows:
Rental equipment $ 16,648
Property, plant and equipment 2,055
Long-term debt assumed (5,505)
Deferred income taxes recorded (4,313)
Other net liabilities assumed (702)
---------------
Net assets acquired 8,183
---------------
Excess of cost over net assets acquired (goodwill) 1,355
---------------
Total cost $ 9,538
===============
The long-term debt was repaid subsequent to the acquisition. A deferred income
tax liability was recorded for the tax effect of differences between the bases
of Mobile's assets and liabilities for tax and financial reporting purposes.

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation (continued)
Unaudited pro forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1994
assuming that the acquisition of Mobile had occurred on January 1, 1994, are
presented below:
Total revenue $140,365
Net income 1,242
Net income per share $ 0.37
The pro forma results include the historical accounts of the Company and the
historical accounts for the acquired business adjusted to reflect (1)
depreciation and amortization of the acquired identifiable tangible and
intangible assets based on the new cost basis of the acquisition, (2) interest
on acquisition financing and (3) the elimination of non-recurring expenses. The
pro forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of actual results
which might have occurred had the operations and management teams of the Company
and the acquired company been combined in prior years.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. Significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
(a) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements
and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
(b) Leasing Operations
Equipment is leased generally under operating leases and, occasionally,
under sales-type lease arrangements. Operating lease terms generally
range from 3 months to 36 months, and contractually averaged
approximately 12 months at December 31, 1996. Rents billed in advance are
initially deferred and recognized as revenue over the term of the
operating leases. Rental equipment is depreciated by the straight-line

method using an estimated economic useful life of 10 to 20 years and
an estimated residual value of either $1,000 or 20%. Costs of
improvements and betterments are capitalized, whereas costs of
replacement items, repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Costs incurred for equipment to meet particular lease specifications
are capitalized and depreciated over the lease term. However, costs
aggregating less than $1,000 per unit are generally expensed as
incurred.
(c) Deferred Financing Costs
Costs of obtaining long-term debt are amortized over the term of the debt
by the interest method.
(d) Property, Plant and Equipment
Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over estimated
useful lives ranging from 20 to 40 years for buildings and improvements
and 3 to 12 years for furniture and equipment.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
(e) Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on
deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The
Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of
Holdings. Income taxes are included in the accompanying financial
statements on a separate return basis.

The loan agreement for the revolving credit facility, as amended, provides for a
$120,000 revolving credit facility which matures December 16, 1997 and can be
extended for an additional year at the option of the Company. Interest is
payable at a rate of either prime plus .25% or LIBOR plus 2.50% at the option of
the Company. The weighted average interest rate was 8.18% at December 31, 1996.
Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by a first priority lien on and

security interest in the Company's rental equipment, accounts receivable
and property, plant and equipment. In addition to the restrictions and
limitations described under the note agreement, the credit facility loan
agreement requires compliance with certain financial covenants including
maintenance of minimum net worth, working capital, number of units in the lease
fleet and fleet utilization.
The 9.5% senior secured notes are due December 15, 2000 with interest payable
semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year. On or after December 15,
1997, the notes are redeemable at the option of the Company, at redemption
prices of 103.167% and 101.583% during the 12 month periods beginning December
15, 1997 and 1998, respectively, and 100% thereafter (subject to price
adjustment under certain events). Upon the occurrence of a change of control,
the holders of the notes have the right to require the Company to repurchase the
notes at a purchase price of 101%. The notes are secured by a second priority
lien on and security interest in the collateral under the revolving credit
facility loan agreement. The note agreement limits or restricts the Company's
ability to incur additional indebtedness, issue preferred stock, make
distributions of capital in an amount not to exceed 50% of accumulated earnings,
dispose of property, incur liens on property and merge with or acquire other
companies.
At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the fair value of long-term debt was
approximately $274,000 and $246,000, respectively, based on the quoted market
price of the senior secured notes and the book value of the revolving credit
facility, which is an adjustable rate note.
4. Obligations of Parent Company
On March 2, 1994, Holdings completed a private placement of 21,250 securities
consisting of $21,250 principal amount of 11% Series A senior notes due March 1,
2004 and 173,648 shares of Holdings common stock. The common stock was assigned
a value of $2,042 based on a per share price of $11.76. The remaining proceeds
of $19,208 were assigned to the notes. The discount on the notes of $2,042 is
being accreted over the maturity period. The proceeds of this offering were used
to retire unsecured convertible notes payable to a stockholder of Holdings of
$20,000. Interest on the 11% notes is payable semi-annually in additional notes
or cash through March 1, 1999, and payable in cash thereafter. Holdings elected
to pay all interest payments due under the notes in additional notes payable
aggregating $6,514. These notes bear interest at 11% and are due March 1, 2004.
On or after March 1, 1999, the notes are redeemable at the option of

twelve month periods beginning March 1, 1999, 2000 and 2001 respectively, and
100% thereafter. Upon the occurrence of a change in control, the holders of the
notes have the right to require Holdings to repurchase the notes at a purchase
price of 101%.
Effective, August 12, 1994, Holdings completed the registration of 11% Series B
notes. Such notes have been exchanged for all of the outstanding 11% Series A
senior notes. The form and terms of the Series B notes are identical to the form
and terms of the Series A notes except that the Series B notes have been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and do not bear any
legends restricting the transfer thereof.
The Holdings notes are not secured by the Company's assets or common stock and
the Company has no plans to assume or otherwise become liable with respect to
the notes.

5. Income Taxes (continued)
In December 1993, Holdings purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of
common stock of the Company. For financial statement purposes, the acquisition
was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting by Holdings, and the
Company restated its balance sheet to "push down" the effects of the purchase
accounting adjustments. In connection with the acquisition of the Company, the
tax bases of the assets and liabilities of the Company prior to the acquisition
are carried over and continue as the tax bases of the Company. As a result, the
Company recorded deferred income tax liabilities of $13,455 representing the tax
effect of the differences between such tax bases and the related amounts
recorded as the cost of the acquisition for financial reporting purposes.
At December 31, 1996, the Company had net operating loss carryovers available
for federal income tax purposes of approximately $76,120, including
pre-acquisition separate company loss carryovers available for federal income
tax purposes of approximately $67,315 and investment tax credit carryovers of
approximately $860. These carryovers expire at various dates from 2000 to 2009.
Also, alternative minimum tax credit carryovers of approximately $1,465 are
available without expiration limitations. The annual utilization of the
preacquisition net operating loss carryovers is subject to certain limitations
under the Internal Revenue Code.
The income tax expense consists of the following:

7. Employee Benefit Plans
The Company has adopted a defined contribution plan (the 401(k) Plan) which is
intended to satisfy the tax qualification requirements of Sections 401(a),
401(k), and 401(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code). The 401(k)
Plan covers substantially all employees and permits participants to contribute
the lessor of (i) 15% of their annual compensation from the Company and (ii) the
dollar limit described in Section 402(g) of the Code ($9,500 in 1996). All
amounts under this salary reduction feature are fully vested.
49
<PAGE>
Williams Scotsman, Inc.
(formerly The Scotsman Group, Inc.) and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
7. Employee Benefit Plans (continued)
The 401(k) Plan has a "matching" contribution feature under which the Company
may contribute a percentage of the amount deferred by each participant. The Plan
also has a "profit sharing" feature, under which the Company may contribute, at
its discretion, an additional amount allocable to the accounts of active
participants meeting the aforementioned eligibility requirements.
Contributions by the Company to the 401(k) Plan were approximately $243 in 1996,
$129 in 1995, and $54 in 1994.
The Company recorded $1,800, $1,775, and $925 of management incentive
compensation in 1996, 1995, and 1994 respectively, including deferred
compensation of $1,400 in 1996, $1,375 in 1995 and $525 in 1994, in connection
with the Incentive Compensation Plan (the Plan). The Plan covers approximately
40 management members of the Company. Under the terms of the Plan, incentive
compensation is payable annually to members of the Plan, based upon the Company
achieving certain earnings before interest, income taxes, provision for deferred
compensation, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) targets. In addition, if
certain cumulative EBITDA targets are met over the five year period ending
December 31, 1998, additional compensation will be payable in 1999.
In March 1995, the Company adopted a stock option plan for certain key
employees. Under the plan, employees may be granted options to purchase up to a
total of 7.5% of Holdings' outstanding common stock. The options are granted
with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares as of the date of
grant. The options vest ratably over 5 years and expire 10 years from the date
of the grant. The Company accounts for stock option grants in accordance with
APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and,
accordingly, recognizes no compensation expense for the stock option grants.
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its
employee stock options under the minimum value method of that Statement. The
minimum value for these options was estimated at the date of grant by
calculating the excess of the fair value of the stock at the date of grant over
50

the present value of both the exercise price and the expected dividend
payments, each discounted at the risk free rate, over the expected exercise life
of the option. The following weighted average assumptions were used for 1996 and
1995: risk-free interest rate of 6%; weighted average expected life of the
options of 5 years; and no dividends.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated minimum value of the
options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. Note that the
effects of applying SFAS 123 for pro forma disclosure in the current year are
not necessarily representative of the effects on pro forma net income for future
years. The Company's pro forma information follows:

1994 Management Equity Offering
In 1994, certain management employees of Scotsman were offered the
opportunity to purchase up to 1.6% of the Company's common stock at a purchase
price of $11.76 per share, representing fair market value of the shares. A total
of 54,082 shares were offered and purchased under this plan. See a description
of the restriction on these shares in "Item 13 - Stockholders' Agreement".
Scotsman Holdings, Inc. 1994 Employee Stock Option Plan
In March 1995, a stock option plan was adopted for certain key
employees of Scotsman. In February 1997, options for 107,530 shares of the
Company were granted at an offer price of $55.18 per share. Under this plan,
certain key employees may be granted options to purchase up to a total of 7.5%
of the Company's outstanding common stock. The options are exercisable for a
period of 10 years from date of grant and have a five year vesting schedule.
Long Term Incentive Plan
Scotsman adopted a long term incentive plan (the "Incentive
Compensation Plan") under which certain management employees will be entitled to
receive, for each of fiscal years 1994 through 1998, cash compensation, if
certain operating targets (EBITDA) are met. Each participant under the Incentive
Compensation Plan may be entitled to an additional lump sum payment following
the end of Scotsman's 1998 fiscal year, depending on the extent to which
cumulative EBITDA of Scotsman for the five year period beginning in fiscal 1994
and ending in fiscal 1998 exceeds the EBITDA target amount for the same period.
In February 1997, $400,000 was paid to approximately 40 management employees
based upon Scotsman's 1996 operating performance.
401(k)/Defined Contribution Plan
On May 1, 1993 Scotsman adopted a defined contribution plan (the
"401(k) Plan") which is intended to satisfy the tax qualification requirements
of Sections 401(a), 401(k), and 401(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"). Each employee of Scotsman who completes one hour of
service with Scotsman is eligible to participate in the salary reduction feature
of the 401(k) Plan. The 401(k) Plan permits participants to contribute the
lesser of (i) 15% of their annual compensation from Scotsman and (ii) the dollar
limit described in Section 402(g) of the Code ($9,500 in 1996). All amounts
deferred under the 401(k) Plan's salary reduction feature by a participant are
fully vested.
59
<PAGE>
The 401(k) Plan has a "matching" contribution feature under which
Scotsman may contribute a percentage of the amount deferred by each participant
who makes salary reduction deferrals to the 401(k) Plan, has been employed for
12 consecutive months by Scotsman, completes 1,000 hours of service with
Scotsman during the Plan year and is employed by Scotsman on the last day of the
year. This percentage, if any, is determined by the Board of Directors at their
discretion and is communicated to 401(k) Plan participants during the year for
which the matching contribution will be made. Matching contributions made on
behalf of a 401(k) Plan participant are subject to a deferred vesting schedule
based on the number of years a participant has been employed by Scotsman. A
participant becomes 20%, 40%, 60%, and 100% vested in the matching contributions
made to the 401(k) Plan on his or her behalf after completion of 2, 3, 4 and 5
years of service with Scotsman, respectively.
The 401(k) Plan also has a "profit sharing" feature, under which
Scotsman may contribute, in its discretion, an additional amount which is
allocated to the accounts of active participants who have been employed for 12
consecutive months by Scotsman, who have completed 1,000 hours of service during
the Plan Year and who are employed on the last day of the year, based on such
participants' compensation for the year.
A participant's 401(k) Plan benefits generally are payable upon the
participant's death, disability, retirement, or other termination of employment.
Payments under the 401(k) Plan are made in a lump sum.
In 1996, Scotsman made matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan
participants in an aggregate amount of $242,913.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
No director or executive officer of Scotsman was or is a director or
executive officer of any corporation, other than Holdings, that has a director
or executive officer who is also a director of Scotsman or a member of a
committee of the Board of Directors. During 1995, no officers or employees of
Scotsman other than Messrs. Gossett and Holthaus participated in deliberations
of Scotsman's Board of Directors concerning executive officer compensation.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Odyssey Investors Management Agreement
Scotsman and Odyssey Investors, Inc. ("Odyssey Investors"), a wholly
owned subsidiary of Odyssey Partners, entered into a management agreement (the
"Management Agreement"), dated as of December 16, 1993, which provides that
Scotsman will pay Odyssey Investors an annual fee of up to $250,000 in
consideration of certain management, consulting, and financial advisory services
to be rendered by Odyssey Investors, until such time, if any, as Scotsman has
outstanding publicly-held shares of Common Stock. The terms of the Management
Agreement were not the result of arms' length bargaining and have not been
reviewed as to fairness by any independent party and no determination has been
made as to whether the terms of the Management Agreement were as favorable as
those which might have been obtained from unaffiliated parties. Scotsman
incurred expense of $250,000 for these services in 1996.
Stockholders' Agreement
Odyssey Partners, the Management Stockholders and Scotsman are parties
to an Amended and Restated Management Stockholders' and Optionholders' Agreement
dated as of June 6, 1994 (the "Stockholders' Agreement"), which amends and
restates the Management Stockholders' and Optionholders' Agreement dated as of
November 9, 1993, and which contains certain rights and restrictions with
respect to the transfer of each Management Stockholder's shares of Common Stock.
The Stockholders' Agreement prohibits the transfer of any shares of Common Stock
by each Management Stockholder (other than sales required in connection with the
disposition of all shares of Common Stock owned by Odyssey Partners and its
affiliates) until the earlier of fifteen months after an initial public offering
of the equity of Scotsman or the day after Odyssey Partners and its affiliates
have disposed of more than 33-1/3% of the shares of Common Stock originally
acquired by Odyssey Partners, and thereafter, the aggregate number of shares
which may be transferred by each Management Stockholder in any calendar year
(other than certain required sales) may not exceed 25% of the number of shares
acquired in connection with the Acquisition plus the number of any shares
acquired pursuant to the exercise of stock purchase options. In addition, the
Stockholders' Agreement restricts the transfer of shares of Common Stock by each
Management Stockholder for a period of five years from the date of purchase of
such shares, except certain permitted transfers and transfers pursuant to an
effective registration statement or in accordance with Rule 144 under the
Securities Act. Upon the expiration of such five-year period, subject to the
foregoing restrictions, each Management Stockholder may transfer his shares
after giving to Odyssey Partners and Scotsman, respectively, a right of first
refusal to purchase such shares.
62
<PAGE>
Each Management Stockholder has the right (and in limited circumstances
the obligation) to sell his shares in connection with certain dispositions of
shares by Odyssey Partners and the right to cause his shares to be included in
certain registrations of Common Stock on behalf of Odyssey Partners. Each
Management Stockholder has granted to Odyssey Partners an irrevocable proxy that
permits Odyssey partners to vote his shares. In addition, upon termination of
any Management Stockholder's employment, Scotsman may elect to require such
Management Stockholder to sell to Scotsman all of his shares.
