MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997 Rental revenues for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 1998 increased $2,653,892 (19%$2,317,285 (14%) and $7,567,342 (17%), respectively, over the comparative periodperiods in 1997, with1997. Of the nine-month increase, Mobile Modular Management Corporation ("MMMC") contributing $1,922,046contributed $5,046,487 (67%) increasing from $30,311,031 to $35,357,518 and electronics contributing $731,846.ELECTRONICS contributed $2,520,855 (33%) increasing from $14,827,521 to $17,348,376. The significant rental revenue increase by MMMC resulted from the large quantities of equipment shipped to schools in the latter part of 1997.1997 and the ELECTRONICS rental revenue increase resulted in part from market penetration by telemarketing and regional sales efforts on the East Coast. As of September 30, 1998, rental equipment on rent increased for MMMC by $19,224,379 and for ELECTRONICS increased by $4,961,500 compared to a year earlier. Average utilization for electronicsELECTRONICS during the first quarternine months increased from 53.9%54.7% in 1997 to 56.4%55.0% in 1998 and declinedincreased for modulars from 79.3%81.0% in 1997 to 76.6%82.7% in 1998. Modular utilization declined as a result of a substantial increase in the level of inventory through the addition1998, exclusive of new equipment.equipment not previously rented. Rental related services revenues for the first quarter ofthree and nine months ended September 30, 1998 declined $418,133 (16%increased $704,102 (21%) and $880,015 (11%), respectively, as compared to the same periodperiods in 1997 as a result of less shipments and site requirements in 1998.1997. Gross margins declinedincreased from 27%40% to 43% in 1997 to 25% in 1998.1998 for the comparative nine-month period. Sales for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 1998 declined $1,649,350$3,888,162 (15%) and $8,648,798 (17%), respectively, as compared to the same periodperiods in 1997 due to fewer new equipmentclassroom sales to school districts by MMMC. Enviroplex and ELECTRONICS sales volumes increased 9% and 6%, respectively, over the 1997 comparative nine-month period which partially offset MMMC's expected decline in new classroom sales. (See 1997 Form 10-K Management Discussion and Analysis for Fiscal Years 1997 and 1996.) Consolidated gross margin on sales remained constant at 31% for 1997 and 1998. The single largest sale was for $6,109,692 by MMMC to a school districts.

This sale was unique as to the volume of new classrooms sold in conjunction with the 1997 comparative period. However, Enviroplex's deferred income increased $1,614,262 as it experienced delaysamount of site work performed and is not likely to be repeated in shipment to school districts as a result of the inclement weather in California.

Sales continue to occur routinely as a normal part of the Company's rental business; however, these sales can fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year depending on customer demands and requirements. Depreciation on rental equipment for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 1998 increased $423,250 (12%$968,103 (27%) and $1,737,253 (16%) over the comparative periodperiods in 1997 dueas a result of additions to the additional rental equipment purchased during 1997.of both modulars and electronics. Rental equipment, at cost, increased 21%18% between March 31,September 30, 1997 and March 31,September 30, 1998. Other direct costs of rental operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 increased $383,545 (15%$1,006,185 (38%) and $2,721,118 (36%) over the first quartercomparative periods in 1997. This increase1997 primarily resulted from moredue to increased maintenance and repair expenses of the modular fleet. Additionally, during 1997, a significant number of customers requesting that certain lease costs be chargedopted to theminclude upfront charges in the rental rate rather than as a one-time charge resulting in higher amortization expense of these related upfront costs over the lease costs ($256,748) for items recoveredterm in the customer's rental rate.subsequent periods. Selling and administrative expenses increased $347,099 (10%) for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 1998 decreased $401,835 (8%) and increased $95,343 (1%), respectively, compared to the same periods in 1997. Even though selling and administrative expenses for the nine month comparative period in 1997were approximately the same, the three-month comparative period declined by 8% primarily due to higher expenses for facility and equipment depreciation ($174,819) and personnel costs. Personneland benefit costs ($176,883) offset by reduced performance and incentive bonuses ($528,384), fewer bad debt writeoffs ($114,023), and eliminated facility rental, cleanup and moving expenses ($114,215).
