McGRATH RENTCORP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1998
NOTE 1. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The consolidated financial information for the three months ended March
31, 1998 has not been audited, but in the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of only 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 three months ended
March 31, 1998 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. NOTES PAYABLE
In April 1998, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the
"Agreement") with one of its banks to borrow $15,000,000 on a short-term basis.
The loan is required to be repaid on the earlier of July 31, 1998 or the funding
date of a contemplated private offering of debt securities. The Agreement
requires the Company to pay interest at prime minus one-half percent or, at the
Company's election, other rate options available under the Agreement.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997
Rental revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased
$2,653,892 (19%) over the comparative period in 1997, with Mobile Modular
Management Corporation ("MMMC") contributing $1,922,046 and electronics
contributing $731,846. The significant rental revenue increase by MMMC resulted
from the large quantities of equipment shipped to schools in the latter part of
1997. Average utilization for electronics during the first quarter increased
from 53.9% in 1997 to 56.4% in 1998 and declined for modulars from 79.3% in 1997
to 76.6% in 1998. Modular utilization declined as a result of a substantial
increase in the level of inventory through the addition of new equipment.
Rental related services revenues for the first quarter of 1998 declined
$418,133 (16%) as compared to the same period in 1997 as a result of less
shipments and site requirements in 1998. Gross margins declined from 27% in 1997
to 25% in 1998.
Sales for the three months ended March 31, 1998 declined $1,649,350
(17%) as compared to the same period in 1997 due to fewer new equipment sales by
MMMC to school districts. Electronics and Enviroplex sales volumes were
consistent with the 1997 comparative period. However, Enviroplex's deferred
income increased $1,614,262 as it experienced delays in shipment to school
districts as a result of the inclement weather in California. Gross margin on
sales declined slightly for the quarter from 35% in 1997 to 34% in 1998. 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 months ended March 31,
1998 increased $423,250 (12%) over the comparative period in 1997 due to the
additional rental equipment purchased during 1997. Rental equipment, at cost,
increased 21% between March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1998. Other direct costs of
rental operations increased $383,545 (15%) over the first quarter in 1997. This
increase primarily resulted from more customers requesting that certain lease
costs be charged to them in the rental rate rather than as a one-time charge
resulting in higher amortization expense of lease costs ($256,748) for items
recovered in the customer's rental rate.
Selling and administrative expenses increased $347,099 (10%) for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997 due to
higher personnel costs. Personnel costs increased $318,095 over the comparative
quarter in 1997 resulting from additional staff for sales and support, including
the addition of electronics sales people on the East Coast.
Interest expense increased $577,961 (66%) in 1998 over 1997 as a result
of a corresponding 66% higher average borrowing level in 1998. The debt increase
funded part of the significant rental equipment purchases made during 1997.
Income before provision for taxes, net income and basic earnings per
share increased slightly in 1998 as compared to 1997 and amounted to $8,409,075,
$4,967,699 and $0.34 per share, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company had a total liabilities to equity ratio of 1.75 to 1 and
1.56 to 1 as of March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. The debt
(notes payable) to equity ratio was 1.04 to 1 and 0.83 to 1 as of March 31, 1998
and December 31, 1997, respectively.

The Company has made purchases of shares of its common stock from time
to time in the over-the-counter market (NASDAQ) and/or through privately
negotiated, large block transactions under an authorization of the Board of
Directors. Shares repurchased by the Company are cancelled and returned to the
status of authorized but unissued stock. During the three months ended March 31,
1998, the Company has repurchased 439,450 shares of its outstanding common stock
for an aggregate purchase price of $8,795,263 (or an average price of $20.01 per
share). On March 26, 1998, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of
up to an additional 1,000,000 shares of its common stock; no repurchases have
been made to date under this new authorization.
The Company believes that its needs for working capital and capital
expenditures through 1998 and beyond will adequately be met by cash flow and
bank borrowings.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 3. OTHER INFORMATION
On March 26, 1998, the Company declared a quarterly dividend on its
Common Stock; the dividend was $0.10 per share. Subject to its continued
profitability and favorable cash flow, the Company intends to continue the
payment of quarterly dividends.
