CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION The consolidated financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 19971998 has not been audited, but in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only of normal recurring accruals, consolidation and eliminating entries) necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of McGrath RentCorp (the "Company") have been made. The consolidated results of the nine months ended September 30, 19971998 should not be considered as necessarily indicative of the consolidated results for the entire year. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest Form 10-K. NOTE 2. The number of outstanding shares and equivalent shares used in the earnings per common share calculations were as follows:
Primary Fully Diluted ---------- ------------- Three months ended: September 30, 1997 15,242,764 15,250,148 September 30, 1996 15,172,408 15,194,300 Nine months ended: September 30, 1997 15,192,887 15,235,692 September 30, 1996 15,403,986 15,468,252
3. The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per Share", which modifies the way in which earnings per share (EPS) is calculated and disclosed effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997. Primary EPS will be replaced by basic EPS which is computed by dividing reported net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted EPS will be replaced with diluted EPS which is computed by dividing reported net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents result from dilutive stock options computed using the treasury stock method with the average share price for the reported period. When implemented, the effect of this accounting change on previously reported EPS data is not significant. 4.
