NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2005
NOTE 1. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The consolidated financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 have 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 and six months ended June 30, 2005 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. STOCK OPTIONS
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation plans in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” under which compensation cost is recorded as the difference between the fair value and the exercise price at the date of grant, and is recorded on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the underlying options. The Company has adopted the disclosure only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, as amended. No compensation expense has been recognized in the accompanying financial statements as the option terms are fixed and the exercise price equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant for all options granted by the Company.
Had compensation cost for the stock-based compensation plans been determined based upon the fair value at grant dates for awards under those plans consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net income would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:
Net Income, as reported
Pro Forma Compensation Charge
Pro Forma Net Income
Basic – as reported
Basic – pro forma
Diluted – as reported
Diluted – pro forma
NOTE 3. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT – STOCK OPTION EXPENSING
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”), which requires the expensing of employee stock options at fair value, rather than using the intrinsic method of valuing share-base payment transactions allowed under APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. These costs will be recognized over the period during which an employee provides service in exchange for the award. In April 2005, the SEC amended the compliance dates for SFAS No. 123R to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, or effectively beginning on January 1, 2006 for the Company. The Company continues to review and evaluate the application alternatives allowed under the rules. Although the expensing of stock options will have an impact on the Company’s future reported results after 2005, the noncash compensation expense will not have an impact on the overall financial condition of the Company. At this time, the Company cannot predict the impact on 2006 results as it depends on the level of future option grants prior to the effective date and the elections made by the Company in applying the new stock option expensing rules.

NOTE 4. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed as net income divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed as net income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding of common stock and common stock equivalents for the period, including the dilutive effects of stock options and other potentially dilutive securities. Common stock equivalents result from dilutive stock options computed using the treasury stock method and the average share price for the reported period. The effect of dilutive options on the weighted average number of shares for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was 576,435, and 464,942, respectively. As of June 30, 2004, stock options to purchase 45,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the exercise price exceeded the average market price and the effect would have been anti-dilutive. There were no anti-dilutive shares as of June 30, 2005.
NOTE 5. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
In July 2005, the Company increased its unsecured line of credit agreement (the “Agreement”) from $130.0 million to $190.0 million and extended the Agreement one additional year through June 30, 2008. 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 the Company to (1) maintain a minimum net worth of $127.5 million plus 50% of all net income generated subsequent to December 31, 2003 plus 90% of the gross proceeds of any new stock issuance proceeds (which means that restricted equity as defined in the Agreement at June 30, 2005 was $152.7 million), (2) not to exceed certain funded debt to EBITDA (income from operations plus depreciation and amortization as defined in the Agreement) ratios during specified periods of the Agreement and (3) not to exceed certain rolling fixed charge coverage ratios during specified periods of the Agreement. In addition to the $190.0 million unsecured line of credit, the Company extended its $5.0 million revolving line of credit (at prime rate) related to its cash management services through June 30, 2008. The Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the Agreement as of June 30, 2005 and has the capacity to borrow up to an additional $89.0 million under the bank lines of credit as of July 11, 2005.

NOTE 6. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
SFAS No. 131, “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” establishes annual and interim reporting standards for an enterprise’s operating segments and related disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas and major customers. In accordance with SFAS No. 131, the Company’s three reportable segments are Mobile Modular Management Corporation (Modulars), TRS-RenTelco (Electronics), and Enviroplex. The operations of each of these segments are described in Note 1 - Organization and Business, and the accounting policies of the segments are described in Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies of the Company’s latest Form 10-K. Management focuses on several key measures to evaluate and assess each segment’s performance including rental revenue growth, gross margin, and income before provision for income taxes. As a separate corporate entity, Enviroplex revenues and expenses are maintained separately from Modulars and Electronics. Excluding interest expense, allocations of revenue and expense 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, deferred income and customer security deposits. The Company does not report total assets by business segment. Summarized financial information for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 for the Company’s reportable segments is shown in the following table:

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 and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical facts included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q regarding the Company’s business strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues or losses, projected costs, prospects, plans, objectives, the Company’s ability to sell rental equipment in excess of required levels, and the sufficiency of the Company’s working capital expenditures through 2005 are forward-looking statements. These statements appear in a number of places and 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. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements and are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. 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 relating to the Company’s modular operations; changing prices and market conditions; changes in school funding by state and local governments in California and other geographical areas where we operate; impairment charges on the Company’s rental equipment; and fluctuations in the Company’s rentals and sales of modular or electronics equipment. Factors that affect the Company’s international operations include longer receivable collection periods, changes in regulatory requirements, import and export restrictions and tariffs, difficulties and costs of staffing and managing foreign operations, potentially adverse tax consequences, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, the burdens of complying with foreign laws, the impact of business cycles, economic and political instability and potential hostilities outside the United States and limited ability to enforce agreements, intellectual property rights and other rights in some foreign countries. 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.
General
The Company, incorporated in 1979, is a leading rental provider of modular buildings for classroom and office space, and test equipment for general purpose and communications needs. The Company’s primary emphasis is on equipment rentals. The Company is comprised of three business segments: “Mobile Modular Management Corporation” (“MMMC”), its modular building rental division, “TRS-RenTelco,” its electronic test equipment rental division, and “Enviroplex,” its majority-owned subsidiary that manufactures modular classrooms. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, MMMC, TRS-RenTelco and Enviroplex contributed 73%, 25% and 2% of the Company’s pre-tax income, respectively, compared to 89%, 12% and (1%) for the comparable 2004 period. Although managed as a separate business unit, Enviroplex’s revenues, pre-tax income contribution and total assets are not significant relative to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
The majority of the Company’s revenue and gross profit are derived from the rental of relocatable modular buildings and electronic test and measurement instruments on operating leases, with sales of such equipment occurring in the normal course of business. The Company requires significant capital outlay to purchase its rental inventory and recovers its investment through rental and sales revenues. Rental revenue and other modular services negotiated as part of the lease agreement with the customer and related costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Sales revenue and related costs are recognized upon delivery and installation of the equipment to the customer. Sales revenues and related gross margins are less predictable and can fluctuate quarter to quarter and year to year, depending on customer requirements, equipment availability and funding. Generally, rents recover the equipment’s capitalized cost in a short period of time relative to the equipment’s rental life and when sold, sale proceeds recover a significant portion of its capitalized cost.
The Company’s growth in rental assets has been primarily funded through internal cash flow and conventional bank financing. The Company presents EBITDA herein as management believes it provides useful information regarding the Company’s liquidity and financial condition and because management, as well as the Company’s lenders, use this measure in evaluating the performance of the business. EBITDA is defined by the Company as net income before minority interest in income of subsidiary, interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and other noncash expenses. In addition, several of the loan covenants and the determination of the
7
interest rate related to the Company’s revolving line of credit are expressed by reference to EBITDA, similarly calculated. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows, or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, nor as a measure of the Company’s profitability or liquidity. The Company’s EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Since EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation G, the following table reconciles EBITDA to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for the three, six and twelve months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.

Significant risks of rental equipment ownership are borne by the Company, which include, but are not limited to, uncertainties in the market for its products over the equipment’s useful life, use limitations for modular equipment related to updated building codes or legislative changes, technological obsolescence of electronics equipment, and rental equipment deterioration. The Company believes it mitigates these risks by continued advocacy and collaboration with governing agencies and legislative bodies for ongoing use of its modular product, staying abreast of technology trends in order to make good buy-sell decisions regarding electronics equipment, and ongoing investment in repair and maintenance programs to insure both types of rental equipment are in good operating condition.
The Company’s modular revenues are primarily affected by demand for classrooms which in turn is affected by shifting and fluctuating school populations, the level of state funding to public schools, the need for temporary classroom space during reconstruction of older schools and changes in policies regarding class size. Lower expenditures by these schools may result in certain planned programs, including the increase in the number of classrooms such as the Company provides, to be postponed or terminated; however, there can be no assurance that such events will occur. Reduced expenditures may in fact result in schools reducing their long-term facility construction projects in favor of using the Company’s modular classrooms. At this time the Company can make no assurances as to whether public schools will either reduce or increase their demand for the Company’s modular classrooms as a result of the reduced or expected reduction in funding of public schools in the State of California. In California, we have benefited from the need to modernize schools and the bond measure funding available to do so. Of the $2.3 billion in the March 2004 school bond measure for modernization projects, approximately $1.2 billion remains which either has not been apportioned or released to school districts to date. At this time, it appears unlikely that there will be another statewide facilities bond measure in 2006 to further support the modernization and reconstruction of public schools and we anticipate the remaining bond funds will support the apportionment of monies necessary for new projects being applied for through 2006. Additionally, we are in the process of assessing future modernization and reconstruction rental opportunities by seeking a better understanding of the monies apportioned or released to date from past state and local bond measures and the status of related projects. Looking forward, the Company believes that any interruption in the
8
passage of facility bonds or contraction of class size reduction programs by California public schools may have a material adverse effect on both rental and sales revenues of the Company.
Revenues of TRS-RenTelco are derived from the rental and sale of general purpose and communications test equipment to a broad range of companies, from Fortune 500 to middle and smaller market companies primarily in the electronics, communications, aerospace and defense industries. Electronics revenues are primarily affected by the business activity within these industries related to research and development, manufacturing, and communication infrastructure installation and maintenance.
The Company’s rental operations revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 include rental and rental related service revenues, which comprised approximately 72% and 79%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated revenues. Of the total rental operations revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, modulars comprised 59% and 78%, respectively, and electronics comprised 41% and 22%, respectively. The Company’s direct costs of rental operations include depreciation of rental equipment, rental related service costs, impairment of rental equipment, and other direct costs of rental operations which include direct labor, supplies, repairs, insurance, property taxes, license fees and amortization of certain lease costs.
The Company also sells both modular and electronic test equipment that is new, previously rented, or manufactured by its majority owned subsidiary, Enviroplex. The renting and selling of some modular equipment requires a dealer’s license, which the Company has obtained from the appropriate governmental agencies. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, sales and other revenues of both modular and electronic test equipment have comprised approximately 28% and 21%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated revenues. Of the total sales and other revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, modulars comprised 56% and 62%, respectively, and electronics comprised 44% and 38%, respectively. The Company’s cost of sales include the carrying value of the equipment sold and the direct costs associated with the equipment sold such as delivery, installation, modifications and related site work.
Selling and administrative expenses primarily include personnel and employee benefit costs, depreciation and amortization, bad debt expense, advertising costs, and professional service fees. The Company believes that sharing of common facilities, financing, senior management, and operating and accounting systems by all of the Company’s operations, results in an efficient use of overhead. Historically, the Company’s operating margins have been impacted favorably to the extent its costs and expenses are leveraged over a large installed customer base. However, there can be no assurance as to the Company’s ability to maintain a large installed customer base or ability to sustain its historical operating margins.
Recent Developments
In July 2005, the Company amended its existing lines of credit to increase the borrowing capacity from $135.0 million to $195.0 million and extended the expiration date one year to June 30, 2008, increasing its capacity to borrow up to an additional $89.0 million.
In February 2005, the Company announced that the board of directors approved a 2-for-1 stock split effective March 25, 2005 for each shareholder of record as of March 11, 2005 and a proportional increase in the number of common shares outstanding from 12,284,749 to 24,569,498. All share and per-share calculations in this Form 10-Q reflect the 2-for-1 stock split. The board of directors also declared a post-split cash dividend of $0.14 per common share for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, an increase of 27% over the comparable period in 2004.
On June 2, 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all the assets of TRS, a division of CIT Group Inc., for $120.2 million, of which $107.6 million was allocated to rental equipment. In June 2004, the acquired rental assets were generating rental revenues of $5.1 million. TRS, based in Dallas, Texas, is similar to the Company’s existing short-term electronics rental and sale business, RenTelco, and is one of the leading providers of general purpose and communications test equipment for rent or sale in North America. Since June 2, 2004, the electronics business has operated under the name TRS-RenTelco and since that date, TRS’ results are included in the consolidated financial statements for each reported period.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2004 Compared to
Three Months Ended June 30, 2005
Overview
Consolidated revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 increased $23.1 million, or 57%, to $63.9 million from $40.8 million for the same period in 2004. Consolidated net income for the quarter increased $3.4 million, or 55% to $9.5 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, from $6.1 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the same period in 2004. The Company’s improved quarter over quarter revenues and net income were primarily driven by the continued demand for modular classrooms and the effect of the 2004 acquisition of the TRS assets and operations.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2005, on a consolidated basis:
MMMC
For the quarter ended June 30, 2005, MMMC’s total revenues increased $8.5 million, or 30%, to $36.7 million over the same period in 2004, primarily due to higher sales and rental revenues associated with the continued educational market demand for classrooms. The increase in revenues led to an increase in pre-tax income of $1.4 million, or 15%, to $10.5 million for the quarter from $9.1 million for the same period in 2004.

MMMC’s gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2005 increased $2.1 million, or 14%, to $16.6 million from $14.5 million for the same period in 2004. For the quarter ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004:
Gross Margin on Sales – Sales revenues increased $5.7 million, or 104%, compared to 2004. Sales occur routinely as a normal part of MMMC’s rental business; however, these sales and related gross
11
margins can fluctuate from quarter to quarter depending on customer requirements, equipment availability and funding. Higher sales volume offset by a lower gross margin percentage, 22% in 2005 compared to 28% in 2004, resulted in sales gross profit increasing $0.9 million, or 57%, to $2.4 million from $1.5 million in 2004.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2005, selling and administrative expenses increased $0.6 million, or 13%, to $4.8 million from $4.2 million in the same period in 2004 primarily due to higher personnel and employee benefit costs and represented 24% of rental revenues compared to 25% in 2004. Allocated interest expense for the second quarter of 2005 increased $0.2 million, or 15%, to $1.4 million from $1.2 million for the comparable period in 2004, primarily as a result of the higher debt levels of the Company.
TRS-RenTelco
As a result of the contribution of the acquired TRS assets and operations, TRS-RenTelco had significant quarter over quarter revenue increases for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Rental revenues for the quarter increased $8.8 million from $8.4 million in 2004 to $17.2 million in 2005 and contributed to the total revenues increase of $13.1 million, or 108%, from $12.2 million in 2004 to $25.3 million in 2005. The significant quarter over quarter revenue increase resulted in a pre-tax income increase of $3.5 million, or 288%, to $4.7 million from $1.2 million for the same period in 2004.
Sequentially, rental revenue increased $0.3 million, or 2%, from $16.9 million in the first quarter of 2005 to $17.2 million in the second quarter of 2005, while related gross profits rose $1.6 million to $6.4 million up from $4.8 million due primarily to lower costs, principally depreciation, which declined $0.9 million from $9.4 million, or 56% of rental revenues, in the first quarter 2005 to $8.5 million, or 50% of rental revenues, in the second quarter 2005 and, to a lesser extent, repair, calibration and other costs which declined $0.4 million. The decline in depreciation resulted from a determination to extend the useful lives on two models of test equipment ($0.6 million), the sale of underutilized equipment ($0.4 million), and some rental equipment becoming fully depreciated ($0.1 million) offset by new equipment purchases ($0.2 million). In addition, higher revenue from equipment sales and an improvement in related gross margins from 25% in the first quarter of 2005 to 31% in the second quarter resulted in a $0.7 million improvement in gross profit on sales from $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2005 to $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2005. The mix of equipment sold largely impacts gross margin percentage on sales. As a result of these increases in both rental and sales results, pre-tax income rose $2.8 million, or 144%, from $1.9 million in the first quarter 2005 to $4.7 million in the second quarter.
TRS-RenTelco Segment – Q2 2005 compared to Q2 2004
12
TRS-RenTelco’s gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2005 increased $4.6 million, or 99%, to $9.3 million from $4.7 million for the same period in 2004. For the quarter ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004:
For the quarter ended June 30, 2005, selling and administrative expenses increased $0.8 million, or 25%, to $4.0 million from $3.2 million in the same period in 2004, primarily due to the higher personnel and employee benefit costs of the acquired TRS operation and represented 23% of rental revenues compared to 38% of rental revenues the same period in 2004. Allocated interest expense for the second quarter 2005 increased $0.3 million, or 137%, to $0.6 million from $0.3 million for the same period in 2004, as a result of the higher debt levels of the Company.

Consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased $46.1 million, or 65%, to $116.8 million from $70.7 million for the same period in 2004. Consolidated net income for the six months increased $4.8 million, or 40% to $16.6 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, from $11.9 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the same period in 2004. The Company’s improved six-month revenues and net income were primarily driven by the continued demand for modular classrooms and the effect of the 2004 acquisition of the TRS assets and operations.
For the six months ended June 30, 2005, on a consolidated basis:
For the six months ended June 30, 2005, MMMC’s total revenues increased $12.1 million, or 24%, to $63.5 million over the same period in 2004, primarily due to higher sales and rental revenues associated with the continued educational market demand for classrooms. The increase in revenues led to an increase in pre-tax income of $2.2 million, or 13%, to $19.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $17.6 million for the same period in 2004.

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 statements at the beginning of this Item for cautionary information with respect to such forward-looking statements.
The Company’s rental businesses are capital intensive and generate significant cash flows. Cash flows for the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 are summarized as follows:
Cash Flow from Operating Activities: The Company’s operations provided net cash flow of $25.7 million, an increase of 29%, during the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $19.9 million during the same period in 2004. The $5.8 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to an increase in operating income before depreciation related to the TRS acquired assets and operations.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities: Net cash used in investing activities was $34.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $136.3 million for the same period in 2004. The $101.4 million decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the $118.4 million cash used in the acquisition of TRS assets in 2004. In addition, rental equipment purchases increased $23.0 million to $49.3 million in 2005 from $26.3 million in 2004 to support expected customer demand, and proceeds from the sale of rental equipment occurring in the normal course of business increased $6.7 million to $15.5 million from $8.8 million during the same period in 2004.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities: Net cash provided by financing activities was $9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $117.0 million during the same period in 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, net cash provided by financing activities included net borrowings under the Company’s operating lines

of credit of $14.1 million, payment of dividends to shareholders of $6.1 million and net proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $1.7 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, net cash provided by financing activities were primarily related to the financing of the TRS acquisition of $118.4 million and were impacted to a lesser extent by the proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $0.9 million and payment of dividends to shareholders of $5.1 million. In conjunction with the financing of the TRS acquisition, the Company prepaid the remaining $16.0 million of its 6.44% senior notes and completed a private placement of $60.0 million 5.08% senior notes during the second quarter 2004.
The Company had total liabilities to equity ratios of 1.83 to 1 and 1.84 to 1 as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. The debt (notes payable) to equity ratios were 0.93 to 1 as of June 30, 2005 and 0.91 to 1 as of December 31, 2004. The Company’s credit facility related to its cash management services facilitate automatic borrowings and repayments with the bank on a daily basis depending on the Company’s cash position and allows the Company to maintain minimal cash balances. At June 30, 2005, the Company had unsecured lines of credit that permit it to borrow up to $135.0 million of which $106.0 million was outstanding. In July 2005, the Company extended its unsecured lines of credit one additional year through June 30, 2008 and increased the borrowing capacity $60.0 million to $195.0 million.
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 six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, there were no repurchases. As of August 3, 2005, 2,000,000 shares remain authorized for repurchase.
The Company believes that its needs for working capital and capital expenditures through 2005 and beyond will be adequately met by operating cash flow and bank borrowings.
The Company currently has no material derivative financial instruments that expose the Company to significant market risk. The Company is exposed to cash flow and fair value risk due to changes in interest rates with respect to its notes payable. As of June 30, 2005, the Company believes that the carrying amounts for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable approximate their fair value. The estimate of fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt is based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities.
The Company formed a wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, TRS-RenTelco Inc. in 2004 in conjunction with the TRS acquisition. The Canadian operations of the Company subject it to foreign currency risks (i.e. the possibility that the financial results could be better or worse than planned because of changes in foreign currency exchange rates). Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge its economic exposure with respect to assets, liabilities and firm commitments denominated in foreign currencies. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company has experienced minimal impact on net income due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Although there can be no assurances, given the extent of the Canadian operations, the Company does not expect to incur significant foreign exchange gains and losses for the remainder of 2005.
The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”), performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2005. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that have materially affected, or would reasonably be likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
