                                MCGRATH RENTCORP
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 2001



NOTE 1.   CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

        The consolidated financial information for the six months ended June 30,
2001 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 six months ended June
30, 2001 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.  ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVES

        On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" (SFAS 133), as amended by SFAS 138, which establishes accounting and
reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the
balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The
Company does not own any derivative instruments, and as such, the implementation
of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company's financial
position or result of operations.


NOTE 3. NOTES PAYABLE

        In June 2001, the Company amended its unsecured line of credit agreement
(the "Agreement") with its banks that extended the expiration date of the
Agreement to June 30, 2004. The Agreement allows the Company to borrow $120.0
million of which $82.5 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2001. The
Agreement requires the Company to pay interest at prime or, at the Company's
election, at other rate options available under the Agreement. In addition, the
Company pays a commitment fee on the daily average unused portion of the
available line. Among other restrictions, the Agreement requires (i) the Company
to maintain shareholders' equity of not less than $100.0 million plus 50% of all
net income generated subsequent to June 30, 2001 plus 90% of any new stock
issuance proceeds, (ii) a debt-to-equity ratio (excluding deferred income taxes)
of not more than 3 to 1, (iii) interest coverage (income from operations
compared to interest expense) of not less than 2 to 1 and (iv) debt service
coverage (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
compared to the following year's principal payments plus the most recent twelve
months of interest expense) of not less than 1.15 to 1.

        In addition to the $120.0 million unsecured line of credit, the Company
entered into a new $5.0 million credit facility in June 2001 (at prime rate)
related to its cash management services which expires June 30, 2004. No amounts
were outstanding at June 30, 2001.


NOTE 4. RECLASSIFICATIONS

        Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current
year presentation.


NOTE 5.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

        In July 2001, the Company entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement with
the minority shareholders of Enviroplex to increase its ownership in Enviroplex
from 73.2% to 80.7%. The Company exchanged 85,366 shares of its common stock for
7.5% of Enviroplex.

NOTE 6.  BUSINESS SEGMENTS

        The Company defines its business segments based on the nature of
operations for the purpose of reporting under SFAS 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". The Company's three
reportable segments are Mobile Modular Management Corporation (Modulars),
RenTelco (Electronics), and Enviroplex. The operations of these three segments
are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in
the Company's latest Form 10-K. As a separate corporate entity, Enviroplex
revenues and expenses are separately maintained from Modulars and Electronics.
Excluding interest expense, allocations of revenues and expenses not directly
associated with Modulars or Electronics are generally allocated to these
segments based on their pro-rata share of direct revenues. Interest expense is
allocated between Modulars and Electronics based on their pro-rata share of
average rental equipment, accounts receivable and customer security deposits.
The Company does not report total assets by business segment. Summarized
financial information for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 for the
Company's reportable segments is shown in the following table:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements, which constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements appear in a number of places.
Such statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such
as "believes", "expects", "may", "estimates", "will", "should", "plans" or
"anticipates" or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable
terminology, or by discussions of strategy. Readers are cautioned that any such
forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve
significant risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may vary materially
from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.
These factors include the effectiveness of management's strategies and
decisions, general economic and business conditions, new or modified statutory
or regulatory requirements and changing prices and market conditions. This
report identifies other factors that could cause such differences. No assurance
can be given that these are all of the factors that could cause actual results
to vary materially from the forward-looking statements.


THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND 2000

         Rental revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001
increased $2.9 million (13%) and $7.6 million (17%) over the comparative periods
in 2000. Mobile Modular Management Corporation ("MMMC") contributed $3.2 million
and RenTelco contributed $4.4 million of the six-month increase. MMMC's rental
revenues increased as a result of strong classroom demand in California. As of
June 30, 2001, an average of $29.4 million more modular equipment was on rent
compared to a year earlier with the average monthly yield for all modular
equipment increasing from 1.98% in 2000 to 2.01% in 2001. At June 30, 2001,
modular utilization, excluding new equipment inventory, was 84.9% and average
utilization for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 was 85.1% and 81.0%,
respectively. RenTelco's rental revenue increased a modest 13% over the second
quarter of 2000, but declined by 6% from the levels achieved during the first
quarter of 2001, reflecting the broad-based weakness in the telecommunications
industry. As of June 30, 2001, an average of $9.8 million more electronics
equipment was on rent compared to a year earlier with the average monthly yield
for all electronics equipment increasing from 3.64% in 2000 to 3.66% in 2001. At
June 30, 2001, electronics utilization was 49.3% compared to 65.4% a year
earlier and average utilization for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000
was 57.0% and 58.8%, respectively.

         Depreciation on rental equipment for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2001 increased $1.0 million (17%) and $2.1 million (19%) over the
comparative periods in 2000 due to higher amounts of rental equipment. For the
six months ended June 30, 2001, average modular rental equipment, at cost,
increased $23.0 million (9%) and average electronics rental equipment, at cost,
increased $19.7 million (26%) over the 2000 comparative period. Other direct
costs of rental operations for the three months ended June 30, 2001 decreased
$1.0 million (20%) primarily due to an impairment write-off of $832,000 in the
year earlier period of rental equipment beyond economic repair. For the
six-month comparative period these costs remained approximately the same.
Consolidated gross margin on rents for the three and six months increased from
54.3% and 55.7% in 2000 to 59.3% and 58.3% in 2001, respectively.

         Rental related services revenues for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2001 increased $343,000 (9%) and $1.2 million (16%) over the
comparative periods in 2000 due to the increased modular rental activity. Gross
margin on rental related services for the six-month period decreased from 44.4%
in 2000 to 36.8% in 2001.

         Sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 increased $1.0
million (10%) and $60,000 (less than 1%) as compared to the same periods in
2000. Consolidated gross margin on sales for the six months ended June 30, 2001
was 32.5% compared to 31.0% for the same period in 2000. 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, requirements and




                                       7

funding. Looking forward, in a slowing economy, the Company would anticipate
fewer sales opportunities for the remainder of 2001 as companies, in an effort
to conserve capital, are less likely to purchase modular and electronics
equipment.

         Enviroplex's backlog of orders as of June 30, 2001 and 2000 was $11.8
million and $12.3 million, respectively. Backlog is not significant in MMMC's
modular business or in RenTelco's electronics business.

         Selling and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2001 increased $892,000 (19%) and $2.0 million (21%) over the
comparative periods in 2000. The six-month increase is primarily due to higher
personnel and benefit costs of $777,000, increased web development and
maintenance costs of $413,000, higher bad debt expense of $196,000 and increased
consultant fees related to legal, accounting, and investor relations of
$198,000.

         Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001
decreased $307,000 (14%) and $107,000 (3%) over the 2000 comparative periods as
a result of lower average interest rates despite higher average borrowing level
in 2001. The higher debt levels funded part of the Company's capital
expenditures, payment of dividends and repurchases of common stock.

         Income before provision for taxes for the three months ended June 30,
2001 increased $2.3 million (21%) while net income increased $1.2 million (19%)
to $7.6 million with earnings per diluted share increasing 19% from $0.52 per
share in 2000 to $0.62 per share in 2001. Income before provision for taxes for
the six months ended June 30, 2001 increased $4.0 million (20%) while net income
increased $2.2 million (18%) to $14.3 million with earnings per diluted share
increasing 20% from $0.97 per share in 2000 to $1.16 per share in 2001.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        This section contains statements that constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. See the statement at the beginning of this Item for cautionary
information with respect to such forward-looking statements.

        The Company's operations produced a positive cash flow from operations
for the six months ended June 30, 2001 of $31.4 million as compared to $21.9
million for the year earlier period primarily due to the reduction in the
accounts receivable. During 2001, the primary uses of cash have been to purchase
of $31.4 million of additional rental equipment to satisfy customer
requirements, other capital expenditures of $891,000, payment of dividends of
$3.6 million to the Company's shareholders, and debt reduction of $4.4 million.

        The Company had total liabilities to equity ratios of 2.04 to 1 and 2.28
to 1 as of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. The debt (notes
payable) to equity ratios were 1.02 to 1 and 1.16 to 1 as of June 30, 2001 and
December 31, 2000, respectively. Both ratios have decreased since December 31,
2000 as a result of earnings and debt reduction.

        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 2001, no shares have been
repurchased. As of August 8, 2001, 805,800 shares remain authorized for
repurchase.

        The Company believes that its needs for working capital and capital
expenditures through 2001 and beyond will be adequately met by cash flow and
bank borrowings.

changes in interest rates with respect to its notes payable. As of June 30,
2001, the Company believes that the carrying amounts of its financial
instruments (cash and notes payable) approximate fair value.

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        On June 5, 2001 McGrath RentCorp announced the settlement of a lawsuit
alleging a failure to warn about certain chemicals associated with building
materials used in portable classrooms in California. The lawsuit was filed by As
You Sow, a corporation that has served as a plaintiff in numerous lawsuits
alleging similar failures to warn. The Company and its subsidiary Enviroplex,
Inc. were two of nineteen named defendants, all of whom are involved in the
portable classroom industry in the State of California. The parties reached an
accord whereby the settling defendants agreed to begin using alternative
buildings materials, including certain engineered wood products, adhesives,
caulks, tapes, mastics and glues, and to provide ventilation in the sub-roof
areas on all products ordered for manufacture after July 1, 2001. In addition,
the settling defendants agreed to issue certain advisories regarding the
availability of alternative materials and the advisability of airing out certain
types of carpeting upon installation. In refurbishing units, to the extent such
materials are needed, settling defendants will use those alternative building
materials and install sub-roof ventilation as appropriate. Defendants agreed to
pay $150,000 to As You Sow to be used for grant-making purposes in reducing
exposures to chemicals, and to increase consumer, worker and community awareness
of the health hazards posed by chemicals. Defendants also agreed to pay As You
Sow's fees and costs in bringing the action.


ITEM 3.  OTHER INFORMATION

        On May 30, 2001, the Company declared a quarterly dividend on its Common
Stock; the dividend was $0.16 per share. Subject to its continued profitability
and favorable cash flow, the Company intends to continue the payment of
quarterly dividends.
