FINANCIAL INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION The Registrant's initial public offering ("IPO") was declared effective on February 20, 1997. Prior to the IPO, the equipment rental business was operated by USR Holdings, Inc., a California corporation (the "Predecessor") that was treated as an S-corporation under the Internal Revenue Code. The Registrant did not have any operations prior to its IPO. Prior to the closing of the IPO, the Predecessor transferred substantially all of its operating assets and associated liabilities to the Registrant in exchange for 20,748,975 shares of Common Stock of the Registrant, representing all of the Registrant's outstanding capital stock prior to the IPO. The Predecessor retained only non- operating assets and liabilities, including approximately $25.7 million of notes receivable from related parties and approximately $24.4 million of notes payable to related parties. These transactions are referred to as the "Recapitalization" in this report. Because the Predecessor elected to be treated as an S-corporation, the Predecessor's sole shareholder paid federal and California taxes on the Predecessor's taxable income. Therefore, the provision for income taxes prior to February 20, 1997, reflects only certain state income taxes the Predecessor was required to pay. Upon the transfer of the assets and liabilities from the Predecessor to the Registrant, which is a C-corporation, all income generated by the Registrant became subject to federal income taxes and applicable state income taxes, as reflected in the financial information included in this report. Unless otherwise indicated, the "Company" means the Predecessor prior to the IPO and the Registrant on or after the IPO. U.S. RENTALS, INC.

Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. 2. PRO FORMA EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Pro forma net income reflects an income tax provision as if the Company had been a C-corporation for all periods presented. The computation of pro forma earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of outstanding common shares, on a pro forma basis, after giving effect to the Recapitalization and the IPO. Common stock equivalents, consisting of certain shares subject to stock options, were not included in the calculation of pro forma earnings per share as they did not have a dilutive effect.

JUNE 30, 1997 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations SECOND QUARTER 1997 VS. SECOND QUARTER 1996 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenues. Total revenues for the second quarter of 1997 increased 35.5% to $96.4 million compared to $71.2 million in the second quarter of 1996. Rental revenue increased 27.5% to $77.1 million or 80.0% of total revenues for the second quarter of 1997, as compared to rental revenue of $60.5 million or 85.0% of total revenues in the second quarter of 1996. Of the $16.6 million increase in rental revenue, $9.1 million was due primarily to increased equipment rental fleet at existing locations. The remaining increase of approximately $7.5 million was primarily due to 15 new locations which were added subsequent to June 30, 1996. Rental equipment sales increased 94.5% to $9.3 million or 9.6% of total revenues for the second quarter of 1997 from $4.8 million or 6.7% of total revenues in the second quarter of 1996 due to increased customer demand and increased sales efforts. Merchandise and new equipment sales increased 70.1% for the second quarter of 1997 to $10.1 million or 10.4% of total revenues as compared to $5.9 million or 8.3% of total revenues in the second quarter of 1996, primarily due to increased rental revenue, demand for new equipment and customer volume. Gross Profit. Gross profit for the second quarter of 1997 increased 49.1% to $27.3 million from $18.3 million in the second quarter of 1996 primarily due to increased rental revenue. Gross profit from rentals increased 33.6% to $42.7 million for the second quarter of 1997 compared to $32.0 million in the second quarter of 1996 as a result of higher revenue volume. Rental gross profit as a percent of revenue increased to 55.4% for the second quarter of 1997 from 52.8% in the second quarter of 1996. This increase was due primarily to a 27.5% increase in rental revenue resulting from the increase in rental fleet and utilization. Gross profit from sales of used rental equipment increased 61.0% to $4.6 million for the second quarter of 1997 compared to $2.9 million in the second quarter of 1996 due to increased demand for used equipment, but decreased as a percent of such revenue due to the mix of sales toward later model equipment. Gross profit from sales of merchandise and new equipment increased 66.6% for the second quarter of 1997 compared to the second quarter of 1996 due to the impact of increased rental volume on the sale of merchandise and an increase in new equipment sales and customer volume, but decreased as a percent of such revenue due to the increased mix of sales of lower margin items. Gross profit was also impacted by an increase in direct operating expenses for the second quarter of 1997 which increased 25.2% to $22.7 million as compared to $18.1 million in the second quarter of 1996. The increase reflects staffing and facilities costs resulting from an increased number of rental yards and higher maintenance costs necessary to support the increased size of the rental fleet and volume. Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense for the second quarter of 1997 increased 43.0% to $10.5 million or 10.9% of total revenues compared to $7.3 million or 10.3% of total revenue in the second quarter of 1996. The increase was primarily due to higher advertising, bad debt, liability insurance expenses and an increase in profit sharing expense in the second quarter of 1997 as compared to the second quarter of 1996. Other Income (Expense). Substantially all other income and expense items for the second quarter of 1996 are related to investments and charitable contributions made at the direction of the principal stockholder of the S- corporation prior to the IPO and are not expected to be incurred by the Company in the future as a result of the Recapitalization. U.S. RENTALS, INC. JUNE 30, 1997 Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased 73.7% to $.5 million for the second quarter of 1997 from $1.9 million in the second quarter of 1996. The decrease was primarily the result of lower debt outstanding for the second quarter of 1997 as compared to the second quarter of 1996 as a result of repayment of debt from the proceeds of the IPO. Income Taxes. Prior to the IPO, the Company had elected to be taxed as an S-corporation for federal and state purposes. Income tax expense was approximately 1.5% of pre-tax income for 1996 and for the period January 1, 1997 through February 26, 1997. For the remainder of the first quarter, February 27, 1997, and through June 30, 1997, the Company's income was taxed as a C-corporation at an effective rate of 40.0%. SIX MONTHS 1997 VS. SIX MONTHS 1996 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenues. Total revenues for the first six months of 1997 increased 36.7% to $177.4 million compared to $129.8 million in the first six months of 1996. Rental revenue increased 28.7% to $142.4 million or 80.3% of total revenues in the first six months of 1997, as compared to rental revenue of $110.7 million or 85.3% of total revenues in the first six months of 1996. Of the $31.7 million increase in rental revenue, $18.9 million was due primarily to increased equipment rental fleet at existing locations. The remaining increase of approximately $12.8 million was primarily due to 15 new locations which were added subsequent to June 30, 1996. Rental equipment sales increased 89.9% to $16.5 million or 9.3% of total revenues for the first six months of 1997 from $8.7 million or 6.7% of total revenues in the first six months of 1996 due to increased customer demand and increased sales efforts. Merchandise and new equipment sales increased 76.9% for the first six months of 1997 to $18.5 million or 10.4% of total revenues as compared to $10.5 million or 8.1% of total revenues in the first six months of 1996, primarily due to increased rental revenue, demand for new equipment and customer volume. Gross Profit. Gross profit for the first six months of 1997 increased 39.3% to $45.4 million from $32.6 million in the first six months of 1996 primarily due to increased rental revenue. Gross profit from rentals increased 31.2% to $76.2 million for the first six months of 1997 from $58.1 million in the first six months of 1996 as a result of higher revenue volume. Rental gross profit as a percent of revenue increased to 53.5% for the first six months of 1997 from 52.5% in the first six months of 1996. This increase was due primarily to a 28.7% increase in rental revenue resulting from the increase in rental fleet and volume. Gross profit from sales of used rental equipment increased 58.2% to $8.5 million for the first six months of 1997 from $5.3 million in the first six months of 1996 due to increased demand for used equipment, but decreased as a percent of such revenue due to the mix of sales toward later model equipment. Gross profit from sales of merchandise and new equipment increased 50.7% for the first six months of 1997 compared to the first six months of 1996 due to the impact of increased rental volume on the sale of merchandise and an increase in new equipment sales and customer volume, but decreased as a percent of such revenue due to the increased mix of sales of lower margin items. Gross profit was also impacted by an increase in direct operating expenses for the first six months of 1997 which increased 29.3% to $43.9 million as compared to $33.9 million in the first six months of 1996. The increase reflects staffing and facilities costs resulting from an increased number of rental yards and higher maintenance costs necessary to support the increased size of the rental fleet and volume. U.S. RENTALS, INC. JUNE 30, 1997 Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense for the first six months of 1997 increased 28.6% to $18.0 million or 10.2% of total revenues compared to $14.0 million or 10.8% of total revenue in the first six months of 1996. The increase was primarily due to higher advertising, bad debt, liability insurance expenses and an increase in profit sharing expense. Other Operating Expense. Other operating expense for the first six months of 1997 includes $20.3 million of non-recurring compensation expense related to the termination of the Predecessor's deferred incentive compensation agreements just prior to the initial public offering in February, 1997. Other Income (Expense). Substantially all other income and expense items for the six months of 1997 and 1996 are related to investments and charitable contributions made at the direction of the principal stockholder of the S-corporation prior to the IPO and are not expected to be incurred by the Company in the future as a result of the Recapitalization. Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased 40.0% to $2.1 million for the first six months of 1997 from $3.5 million in the first six months of 1996. The decrease was primarily the result of lower debt outstanding for the first six months of 1997 as compared to the first six months of 1996 as a result of repayment of debt from the proceeds of the IPO. Income Taxes. Prior to the its IPO, the Company had elected to be taxed as an S-corporation for federal and state purposes. Income tax expense was approximately 1.5% of pre-tax income for 1996 and for the period January 1, 1997 through February 26, 1997. For the remainder of the first quarter and through June 30, 1997, the company's income was taxed as a C-corporation at an effective rate of 40.0%. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company received net proceeds of $186.0 million from the initial public offering of 10,000,000 shares of its common stock on February 26, 1997. A portion of the net proceeds from the offering were used to repay all of the senior notes and borrowings under the credit facility. In conjunction with the offering, the Company entered into a new credit facility which provides availability of up to $300.0 million with its existing lenders. The Company has primarily used cash to purchase rental equipment and invest in acquired and start-up rental yards. The Company historically has financed its cash requirements primarily through net cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under its credit facility. The Company believes that cash flow from operations and availability under the new credit facility will be sufficient to support its operations, expansion and liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months. For the first six months of 1997, the Company's operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities provided net cash flow of $22.7 million as compared to $37.7 million in the first six months of 1996. The $15.0 million decrease in cash flows generated by operating activities before adjustments for changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to the termination of deferred compensation agreements and an increase in gain from sale of equipment but was partially offset by higher depreciation expense due to a larger rental equipment fleet that supported growth in revenues. U.S. RENTALS, INC. JUNE 30, 1997 Net cash used in investing activities was $102.5 million for the first six months of 1997 as compared to $69.9 million in the first six months of 1996. The principal causes for the variation in cash flow between the periods were increased purchases of rental equipment and investment in property and equipment, partially offset by increased sales of rental equipment. The increase in rental fleet relates to newly opened or acquired yards and the continued expansion of rental fleet at existing locations. Rental equipment purchases for the first six months of 1997 were $102.0 million as compared to $66.2 million in the first six months of 1996. Net cash provided by financing activities was $95.1 million for the first six months of 1997 as compared to $37.6 million in the first six months of 1996. The principal causes for the variation between periods was the receipt of the net proceeds of $186.0 million from the IPO in February, 1997, which were used to repay all of the senior notes and borrowings under the credit facility, and the proceeds from a note payable to a related party.
