To the Stockholders
Alpine Equipment Rentals and Supply Company:

We have audited the balance sheet of the Alpine Equipment Rentals and Supply
Company as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of
operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 7, substantially all of the Company's assets were sold to
Primeco Inc. on July 29, 1996.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Alpine Equipment Rentals and
Supply Company as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Alpine Equipment Rentals And Supply Company
Notes To Financial Statements

 1.      The Company:

         Alpine Equipment Rental and Supply Company (the "Company") was formed
         in 1974.  The Company's operations primarily consist of renting
         equipment and, to a lesser extent, selling used equipment to
         commercial construction, industrial and residential users in the
         Washington State area.

 2.      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

         RENTAL AGREEMENTS

         The Company rents equipment primarily to the construction, industrial
         and homeowner markets.  Rental agreements are structured as operating
         leases, and rental revenue is recognized in the period in which it is
         earned.

         INVENTORIES

         Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost being
         determined on the specific identification method.

         RENTAL EQUIPMENT

         Rental equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation for rental
         equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the
         estimated five-year useful life of the assets, after giving effect to
         an estimated salvage value.  Accumulated depreciation was
         approximately $4,072,000 and $3,780,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
         respectively.

         Expenditures for additions or improvements which extend asset lives
         are capitalized in the period incurred.  Normal repairs and
         maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.  When rental equipment is
         disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are
         removed from the respective accounts, and any gains or losses are
         included in results of operations.

         PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

         Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost.  Depreciation is
         computed on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of
         the assets, giving effect to an estimated salvage value.

         The estimated useful lives for leasehold improvements is 15 years and
         the estimated useful lives for vehicles, shop tools, and furniture and
         fixtures is 5 years.

2.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:

         PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT, CONTINUED

         Expenditures for additions or improvements which extend asset lives
         are capitalized in the period incurred.  Normal repairs and
         maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.  When property, plant and
         equipment are disposed of, the related cost and accumulated
         depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gains
         or losses are included in results of operations.

         INCOME TAXES

         As of July 1, 1988, the stockholders elected to report the Company's
         taxable income as an "S" Corporation for federal income tax purposes,
         pursuant to Section 1374(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.  Previously,
         the Company was organized as a "C" Corporation.  As an "S"
         Corporation, the income of the Company is taxable directly to the
         stockholders.  Accordingly, the Company is not subject to federal
         income taxes with the exception of federal income taxes on gains
         realized from the sale of depreciable personal property owned at June
         30, 1988 and sold prior to July 1, 1998.  Of the original potential
         taxable gain of $1,059,000, the Company has recognized approximately
         $777,000 through December 31, 1995.  The remaining gain of
         approximately $282,000 will be recognized in 1996 following the sale
         of these assets (see Note 7).

         CASH EQUIVALENTS

         Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and all highly liquid
         investment instruments purchased with original maturities of three
         months or less.

         CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

         Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
         concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash
         equivalents and accounts receivable.  The Company maintains cash
         deposits with one bank, which from time-to-time, may exceed federally
         insured limits.  Management periodically assesses the financial
         condition of the institution and believes that any possible credit
         risk is minimal.

         Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts
         receivable are limited due to the large number of entities comprising
         the Company's customer base.  However, the majority of the Company's
         customers operate in the state of Washington and therefore the Company
         is vulnerable to the general economic conditions of that state. The
         Company generally does not require collateral on accounts receivable.
         At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company had an allowance for
         doubtful accounts of $22,697.

2.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:

         ESTIMATES

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
         and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
         liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
         dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
         and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could
         differ from these estimates.

         UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim
         condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting
         only of normal recurring items) necessary to present fairly the
         financial position of the Company as of June 30, 1996 and the results
         of its operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30,
         1996 and 1995.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
         included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
         accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant
         to the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations.
         The results of operations for all interim periods presented are not
         necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
         year.

 3.      Property, Plant and Equipment:

         Property, plant and equipment consist of the following as of December
         31, 1995 and 1994 (in thousands):

4.       Related Party Transactions:

         The Company leases two of its facilities from partnerships owned by
         certain Company shareholders.  The leases call for lease payments
         aggregating $13,903 per month and both expire in 1996.  The rental
         expense for these leases included in the statement of operations was
         approximately $167,000 and $163,000 for the years ended December 31,
         1995 and 1994, respectively.

         The Company issued a note payable to a former stockholder for the
         purchase of that stockholder's shares of Company stock.  See Note 5
         for additional information.

         In January 1993, the Company borrowed approximately $200,000 from a
         bank to fund distributions to stockholders.  This loan accrued
         interest at 10% and was repaid in April, 1994.

         In March 1993, the Company entered into a one-year revolving credit
         agreement with a bank which has been renewed annually.  The agreement
         originally provided for a $200,000 line of credit which was increased
         to $400,000 on December 27, 1995.  Interest on the outstanding debt is
         based on prime plus 1% (9.5% at December 31, 1995 and 1994) and is
         collateralized by equipment.  The amount available for additional
         borrowings under this revolving credit agreement at December 31, 1995
         was approximately $133,000.  Borrowings under this revolving credit
         agreement are payable on demand.

         In connection with the purchase of rental equipment and property,
         plant and equipment, the Company has issued promissory notes to
         several creditors with varying terms.  All notes issued are
         collateralized by the purchased equipment and bear interest at various
         rates ranging from 7.5% to 10.75% at December 31, 1995.  All notes are
         payable in monthly installments and mature on various dates through
         December 1999.

         The note payable to stockholder is a promissory note issued to a
         Company stockholder for the purchase of that stockholder's shares of
         Company stock.  Monthly installments are due on the note in the amount
         of $7,500, including interest at 9%, through December 1, 1996.

         approximately $11 million of cash and a $350,000 payment for a
         covenant not to compete.  This sale required the Company to recognize
         its remaining tax liability of approximately $282,000 (as discussed in
         Note 2) for assets owned prior to July 1, 1988.
