1. Description of Business

  Anthony Crane Rental, L.P. (the "Partnership" or the "Company") and its
subsidiaries are engaged in the rental of cranes and other heavy equipment
primarily for industrial maintenance and construction to a variety of
companies in the petrochemical, paper, steel, utility, mining and multiple
other industries. The Partnership provides twenty-four hour service, seven
days a week to customers principally in the United States. The Partnership
also sells new and used equipment to commercial construction, industrial and
residential users. Effective July 22, 1998, as part of the Company's
recapitalization, the Company became 99% directly-owned by Anthony Crane
Rental Holdings, L.P. (Holdings) (a former subsidiary of the Company which has
no current operations other than through the Company).

2. Basis of Presentation

  The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Partnership and all of its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

  The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Anthony Crane Rental,
L.P. have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Rule
10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. During interim periods, the Partnership
follows the accounting policies set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Users of financial
information produced for interim periods are encouraged to refer to the
footnotes contained in the Form 10-K when reviewing interim financial results.

  In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are of a normal and
recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
operations of these interim periods have been included. Net loss for the three
and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999, is not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The Management
Discussion and Analysis, which follows these notes, contains additional
information on the results of operations and financial position of the
Company. Those comments should be read in conjunction with these financial
statements.

3. Cash Flow Statement

  Supplemental cash flow information with respect to the acquisitions
discussed in Note 5 was as follows:

</TABLE>

(A)  The Senior Notes of $155 million were issued in connection with the
     Company's recapitalization and mature on August 1, 2008. Interest on the
     Senior Notes accrues at the rate of 10 3/8% per annum from the issue date
     and is payable semi-annually.

     The Senior Notes are not redeemable prior to August 1, 2003. Thereafter,
     the Senior Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of the Company
     at premium percentages ranging between approximately 105% and 102% (based
     on the year of redemption) if redeemed after August 1, 2003, but before
     August 1, 2006. Subsequent to August 1, 2006, the Senior Notes may be
     redeemed at no premium to the Company. Not- withstanding the foregoing, at
     any time prior to August 1, 2001, the Company may on any one or more
     occasions redeem a total of up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of
     the Senior Notes originally issued under the Senior Notes Indenture at a
     redemption price of approximately 110 3/8% of the principal if that
     redemption is paid for with the proceeds of an equity offering.

     The Senior Notes Indenture contains certain restrictive covenants that
     limit, among other things, the ability of the Company to make
     distributions, incur additional indebtedness, consolidate or sell
     substantially all of its assets, and enter into transactions with related
     parties.

(B)  The Senior Credit Facilities, as amended in conjunction with the Carlisle
     acquisition, consist of a $425.0 million six-year non-amortizing
     Revolving Credit Facility, a $50.0 million eight-year non-amortizing Term
     Loan and a $250.0 million seven-year First Priority Term Loan. The
     Revolving Credit Facility is available on a revolving basis subject to a
     borrowing base during the period commencing on the date of the Closing of
     the recapitalization transaction (July 22, 1998) and ending on the date
     that is six years after the date of the Closing. At the Company's option,
     loans made under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at either
     (i) the Base Rate (defined as the highest of the rate of interest
     announced publicly by Fleet National Bank from time to time as its prime
     rate or the Federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%)
     plus a margin of 1.50%, subject to adjustment based on a leverage test,
     or (ii) the reserve-adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBO") plus
     a margin of 2.50%, subject to adjustment based on a leverage test. The
     Term Loan bears interest, at the Company's option, at either (i) the Base
     Rate plus a margin of 1.75%, or (ii) the reserve-adjusted LIBO rate plus
     a margin of 2.75%. The First Priority Term Loan bears interest, at the
     Company's option, at either (i) the Base Rate plus a margin of 2.25%,
     subject to adjustment based on a leverage test, or (ii) the reserve-
     adjusted LIBO rate plus a margin of 3.25%, subject to adjustment based on
     a leverage test.

     Revolving loans may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed from time to time
     until six years after the closing of the Senior Credit Facilities. The Term
     Loan may be repaid at any time but is subject to certain call protections
     and must be repaid in full eight years after the closing of the Senior
     Credit Facilities. The First

4. Long-Term Debt (continued)

Priority Term Loans will be amortized in an annual amount equal to 1% of the
aggregate principal amount thereof with the unpaid balance thereof payable in
full on July 20, 2006.

The Revolving Credit Facility and First Priority Term Loans are secured by a
first-priority perfected lien, and the Term Loan is secured by a second-
priority perfected lien, on all partnership interests of the Company and all
property and assets (tangible and intangible) of the Company and each of its
material subsidiaries, including, without limitation, all intercompany
indebtedness, and all capital stock (or similar equity interests owned by the
Company) of each of the Company's direct and indirect material subsidiaries,
whenever acquired and wherever located; provided, however, that no more than
65% of the capital stock or similar equity interests of non-U.S. subsidiaries,
if any, will be required to be pledged as security in the event that a pledge
of a greater percentage would result in increased tax or similar liabilities
for the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis or would violate
applicable law.

The Senior Credit Facilities provide for mandatory repayments, subject to
certain exceptions, of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan based
on certain net asset sales outside the ordinary course of business of the
Company and its subsidiaries and the net proceeds of certain debt and equity
issuances. Outstanding loans under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term
Loan (subject to certain call provisions) are voluntarily pre-payable without
penalty; provided, however, that LIBO breakage costs, if any, shall be borne
by the Company. The Senior Credit Facilities contain certain restrictive
covenants, the most restrictive of which include financial ratios.

The obligations of the Company under the Senior Notes and Senior Credit
Facilities are guaranteed on a full, unconditional joint and several basis, by
all material existing, direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries of the
Company and will be guaranteed by all material future, direct and indirect
domestic and foreign subsidiaries of the Company.

  The aggregate principal debt maturities of long-term debt for the next five
years are as follows:

5. Business Acquisitions

  On July 1, 1999, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and
assumed substantially all of the liabilities and obligations relating to the
operations of the businesses of Carlisle Construction Co., Inc., and its
subsidiaries (Carlisle).

  The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, Carlisle
results are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements since
the date of acquisition. The purchase price at closing was approximately
$177.5 million, consisting of (1) $20.0 million of Class B preferred units of
Holdings; (2) the retirement of $68.6 million of Carlisle debt; and (3) $85.9
million in cash (net of $3 million in prepayment

penalties and other expenses). The cash payment and the retirement of the
Carlisle debt were funded through borrowings under the Company's amended
Senior Credit Facilities. The purchase price has been allocated to Carlisle's
assets and liabilities based upon their respective estimated fair market
values. The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary estimate of fair
value of assets acquired (Goodwill) approximated $77 million and is being
amortized over 20 years. The Company will have an independent valuation of the
intangible assets completed prior to December 31, 1999, however the Company
does not believe that the valuation will differ significantly from its
preliminary assessment.

  On June 4, 1999, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and
assumed certain liabilities and obligations of Dunn Equipment, Inc., Texas
Matt & Rigging, Inc., J. Dunn and J. Dunn, Inc., Houston Industrial Services,
Inc., and D & D Leasing, Inc. (collectively the "Dunn Companies") The purchase
price at closing was approximately $30.6 million in cash, which was financed
through borrowings under the Company's Senior Credit Facilities. The
acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and,
accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired,
principally consisting of equipment, based on their estimated fair values at
the date of acquisition. Goodwill in the amount of $3.8 million was recorded
as a result of the acquisition and is being amortized over ten years.

  The unaudited pro forma combined historical results, as if Carlisle and the
Dunn Companies had been acquired at the beginning of the nine month periods
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, are estimated to be:

  The unaudited pro forma consolidated results are not necessarily indicative
of results that would have occurred had the acquisition been in effect for the
periods presented, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated
results.

  On March 31, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock
of Husky Crane, Inc. (Husky Crane) and certain assets of Paradise Equipment
Company, a limited partnership in which the 100% stockholder of Husky Crane is
the majority partner, as well as certain other assets owned personally by this
stockholder. The purchase price for the acquisition at closing was
approximately $8.5 million in cash with an additional payment of $.5 million
payable to the seller contingent upon the satisfaction of certain defined
criteria. Management believes that it is probable that the seller will satisfy
the defined criteria and accordingly, the Company has included the $.5 million
payable to seller as part of the purchase price. The acquisition was accounted
for under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase
price has been allocated to the assets acquired, principally consisting of
equipment, based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.
Goodwill in the amount of $1.3 million was recorded as a result of the
acquisition and is being amortized over five years.

  Certain required pro forma financial information related to the Husky Crane
acquisition has not been presented since the acquisition was not material to
the Partnership's condensed consolidated financial position or its
consolidated results of operations.

6. Lease Commitments

  In April 1997, the Partnership entered into a capital lease agreement for
the lease of twenty trucks. The lease has a term of three years with a bargain
purchase option at the end of the lease agreement. Interest rates under the
capital lease agreement range from approximately 19% to 22%.

  In connection with the acquisitions discussed in Note 5, the Partnership
assumed obligations related to six capital leases.

  The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments under the
capital lease agreements together with the present value of the net minimum
lease payments as of September 30, 1999:

7. Contingencies

  The Company is the defendant in a lawsuit by its former insurance carrier
who has asserted a claim for premiums allegedly due on a contract of insurance
in the amount of approximately $455. The Company has denied any liability and
intends to vigorously defend the claim.

  Additionally, the Company is the defendant in a lawsuit asserting breach of
contract and tort claims arising out of allegations the Company did not timely
deliver certain used equipment that the customer contracted to buy from the
Company. The Company has denied any liability and intends to vigorously defend
the claims.

  The Company is also the defendant in a lawsuit resulting from negotiations
in connection with a proposed acquisition in which the potential seller is
seeking contractual damages in the amount of $3 million plus other
consequential damages that may be proved at trial for breach of contract and
the confidentiality provisions in a letter of intent executed between the
parties. The Company has denied any liability and intends to vigorously defend
the claims.

  The Company is a party to a number of other lawsuits and claims arising out
of the normal course of business.

  While the Company cannot predict the outcome of these matters, in the
opinion of management upon advice of counsel, any liability resulting
thereunder will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business
or financial condition, after giving effect to provisions already recorded.
However, there can be no assurance that an adverse outcome in one or more of
these matters will not be material to results of operations in any one period.
Additionally, certain of these matters are covered by the indemnity from the
former owners ("Predecessor Partners").

8. Subsidiary Guarantors

  All of the Company's subsidiaries are wholly owned and all of the
outstanding debt under the Company's Senior Notes and Senior Credit Facilities
are guaranteed on a full, unconditional and joint and several basis by all of
these subsidiaries (the "Guarantor Subsidiaries"). The following summarized
financial information presents the financial position for the Company and
Guarantor Subsidiaries as of September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the
results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
1999 and 1998, and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30,
1999 and 1998. Separate financial statements of the Guarantor Subsidiaries
have not been presented because management believes they are not material to
investors.

its guarantor subsidiaries as of September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998:

ITEM 2.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

 Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared to the Three Months Ended
September 30, 1998

  Equipment Rental Revenues: Revenues from equipment rentals increased $35.0
million, or 74.9%, to $81.7 million for the three months ended September 30,
1999 as compared to $46.7 million for the same period in the prior year. This
increase was largely due to the Carlisle acquisition, which accounted for
approximately $25.4 million in equipment rental revenues. The remaining
increase is the result of the continued growth of the Company's existing yards
and incremental revenues from other acquisitions. Management noted that
revenues from equipment rentals continue to be adversely affected, especially
in the Company's central region, by market dynamics that continue to affect
the maintenance activities of its petrochemical customers.

  Equipment Sales: Revenues from equipment sales increased $5.8 million, or
95.1%, to $14.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 as
compared to $7.3 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase
was primarily attributable to significantly higher levels of activity in the
Company's fleet management program through upgrading the fleet and selling
older and under-utilized cranes. In addition, Carlisle accounted for
approximately $2.4 million in equipment sales revenues during the period.

  Total Revenues: Based on the foregoing, total revenues increased $40.3
million, or 74.6%, to $94.3 million for the three months ended September 30,
1999 as compared to $54.0 million for the same period in the prior year.

  Gross Profit: Gross profit from equipment rentals increased $9.4 million, or
49.7%, to $28.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 as
compared to $18.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The Carlisle
acquisition accounted for approximately $9.0 million in gross profit during
the three months ended September 30, 1999. As a percent of equipment rental
revenues, gross profit from equipment rentals decreased to 34.7% for the three
months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to 40.4% for the same period in
the prior year. This decrease in gross profit margin is primarily attributable
to increased depreciation on rental equipment, which amounted to $7.6 million
(excluding the impact of Carlisle) for the three months ended September 30,
1999 as compared to $5.4 million for the same period in the prior year.
Additionally, the decrease is due to increased salaries and wages and employee
benefit costs associated with the acquired companies and the growth in the
California yards, and additional costs incurred to support the Company's yard
expansions and expected future growth. Gross profit margin from equipment
rentals also continues to be negatively impacted by the delay of the
industrial maintenance activities discussed above.

  Gross profit from equipment sales increased to $2.5 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $2.1 million for the same
period in the prior year. The increase in gross profit from equipment sales is
primarily the result of the profits generated by equipment sales completed by
Carlisle. As a percent of equipment sales revenues, gross profit decreased to
20.1% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to 28.5% for
the same period in the prior year. The decrease in the gross margin percentage
for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was due to the sale of certain
used equipment, primarily older, under-utilized equipment obtained as a result
of the acquisitions, at auction, generating lower than normal margin
percentages.

  Based on the foregoing, total gross profit increased $9.9 million, or 47.3%
to $30.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to
$20.9 million for the same period in the prior year.


                                      16
<PAGE>

  Selling, General and Administrative: Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased $6.5 million, or 59.6%, to $17.4 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $10.9 million for the same period
in the prior year. The Carlisle acquisition accounted for approximately $4.2
million in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Dunn Companies
and Husky Crane acquisitions accounted for an additional $1.3 million in
selling, general and administrative expenses. The remaining increase in
selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily the result of
increased travel costs, training activities, costs associated with the
acquisitions and an increase in administrative and consulting fees resulting
from the Company's recapitalization in July 1998 and the associated new
reporting requirements. As a percent of total revenues, selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased to 18.1% for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 as compared to 20.1% for the same period in the prior year.

  Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization: EBITDA (as
defined to exclude net gains on sales of used equipment) increased $9.9
million, or 65.1%, to $25.1 million for the three months ended September 30,
1999, compared to $15.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The
Carlisle acquisition accounted for approximately $8.6 million of the increase
in EBITDA. EBITDA from equipment rentals (as defined to equal revenues from
equipment rentals, less cost of equipment rentals, less selling, general and
administrative expenses, plus depreciation and amortization) increased $9.4
million, or 62.6%, to $24.3 million for the three months ended September 30,
1999 compared to $15.0 million for the same period in the prior year. As a
percent of rental revenues, EBITDA from rental operations decreased to 29.8%
for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to 32.0% for the same
period in the prior year. This decrease is due to the factors discussed above.

  Interest Expense: Interest expense increased $8.9 million, or 125.3%, to
$16.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $7.1
million for the same period in the prior year. This increase reflected the
higher level of borrowings outstanding attributable to the Company's
recapitalization transaction consummated in July 1998, acquisitions and the
Company's continued investment in rental equipment.

  Other (Income) Expense: Other (income) expense decreased to $(.1) million or
50.0% from $(.2) million for the three months ended September 30, 1998.

  Extraordinary Item: The extraordinary item recorded during the three-month
period ended September 30, 1998 primarily represented prepayment penalties as
a result of the early extinguishment of debt as a result of the Company's
recapitalization in July 1998. During the three months ended September 30,
1999, no such extraordinary item was incurred.

  Net (Loss) Income: Net loss improved $10.3 million, or 80.5%, to a net loss
of $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to a
net loss of $12.8 million for the same period in the prior year as a result of
the factors discussed above.

 Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared to the Nine Months Ended
September 30, 1998

  Equipment Rental Revenues: Revenues from equipment rentals increased $44.5
million, or 32.5%, to $181.4 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 as compared to $136.9 million for the same period in the prior year. This
increase was largely due to the Carlisle acquisition, which accounted for
approximately $25.4 million in equipment rental revenues since the acquisition
date. The remaining increase is the result of the continued growth of the
Company's existing yards and incremental revenues from other acquisitions.
Management noted that revenues from equipment rentals continue to be adversely
affected, especially in the Company's central region, by market dynamics that
continue to affect the maintenance activities of its petrochemical customers.

  Equipment Sales: Revenues from equipment sales increased $6.4 million, or
38.3%, to $23.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 as
compared to $16.7 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase
was primarily attributable to significantly higher levels of activity in the
Company's fleet

                                      17
<PAGE>

management program through upgrading the fleet and selling older and under-
utilized cranes. In addition, Carlisle accounted for approximately $2.4
million in equipment sales revenues since the acquisition date.

  Total Revenues: Based on the foregoing, total revenues increased $51.1
million, or 33.3%, to $204.6 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 as compared to $153.5 million for the same period in the prior year.

  Gross Profit: Gross profit from equipment rentals increased $9.6 million, or
17.4%, to $64.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 as
compared to $55.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The Carlisle
acquisition accounted for approximately $9.0 million of the increase in gross
profit. As a percent of equipment rental revenues, gross profit from equipment
rentals decreased to 35.6 % for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 as
compared to 40.2% for the same period in the prior year. This decrease in
gross profit margin is primarily attributable to increased depreciation on
rental equipment, which amounted to $20.3 million (excluding the impact of
Carlisle) for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $14.8
million for the same period in the prior year. Additionally, the decrease is
due to the increased salaries and wages and employee benefit costs associated
with the acquired companies and the growth in the California yards, and
additional costs incurred to support the Company's yard expansions and
expected future growth. Gross profit margin from equipment rentals also
continues to be negatively impacted by the delay of the industrial maintenance
activities discussed above.

  Gross profit from equipment sales increased to $4.1 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $3.8 million for the same
period in the prior year. As a percent of equipment sales revenues, gross
profit decreased to 17.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 as
compared to 22.7% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in the
gross margin percentage was due to the sale of certain used equipment during
the nine months ended September 30, 1998, which generated unusually large
margins. Equipment sales in the nine months ended September 30, 1999 generated
more normal margin percentages.

  Based on the foregoing, total gross profit increased from $58.8 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1998 to $68.8 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999.

  Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $8.4 million, or 27.8%, to $38.6 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $30.2 million for the
same period in the prior year. The acquired companies accounted for
approximately $6.2 million of selling, general and administrative expenses in
the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999. The remaining increase is
primarily the result of increased travel costs, training activities, costs
associated with the acquisitions and an increase in administrative and
consulting fees resulting from the Company's recapitalization in July 1998 and
the associated new reporting requirements. As a percent of total revenues,
selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 18.8% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to 19.7% for the same period in
the prior year.

  Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization: EBITDA (as
defined to exclude net gains on sales of used equipment) increased $11.3
million, or 24.9%, to $56.7 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 compared to $45.4 million for the same period in the prior year. EBITDA
from equipment rentals (as defined to equal revenues from equipment rentals,
less cost of equipment rentals, less selling, general and administrative
expenses, plus depreciation and amortization) increased $11.1 million, or
25.0%, to $55.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared
to $44.3 million for the same period in the prior year. As a percent of rental
revenues, EBITDA from rental operations decreased to 30.6% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 compared to 32.4% for the same period in the prior
year. This decrease is due to the factors discussed above.

  Interest Expense: Interest expense increased $18.8 million, or 119.7%, to
$34.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $15.7
million for the same period in the prior year. This increase

                                      18
<PAGE>

reflected the higher level of borrowings outstanding attributable to the
Company's recapitalization transaction consummated in July 1998, acquisitions
and the Company's continued investment in rental equipment.

  Other (Income) Expense: Other (income) expense decreased to $(.3) million,
or 50.0%, from $(.6) million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.
This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in income generated by
the sale of property and other asset dispositions (excluding used rental
equipment).

  Extraordinary Item: The extraordinary item recorded during the nine-month
period ended September 30, 1998 primarily represented prepayment penalties as
a result of early extinguishments of debt as a result of the Company's
recapitalization in July 1998. During the nine months ended September 30,
1999, no such extraordinary item was incurred.

  Net (Loss) Income: Net loss increased $1.7 million, or 65.8%, to a net loss
of $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to a
net loss of $2.5 million for the same period in the prior year as a result of
the factors discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  Net cash provided by operating activities decreased from $24.9 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1998, to $5.1 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999. This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease
in net income before extraordinary items.

  During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company's principal
uses of cash for investing activities were for acquisitions and capital
expenditures, including expenditures for rental equipment. The Company's
principal use of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was for
capital expenditures, including expenditures for rental equipment. Total
capital expenditures were $109.6 million and $80.9 million, respectively.
Included in these totals were expenditures for rental equipment totaling
$102.4 million and $73.6 million, respectively. These expenditures were made
to increase the Company's total investment in the rental fleet and to replace
sold used rental equipment. Cash expenditures for the Carlisle, Dunn Companies
and Husky Crane acquisitions totaled $196.2 million in 1999.

  Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 was $292.5 million, compared to $47.2 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998. The increase in net cash provided by
financing activities was due to an increase in net borrowings to fund the
acquisitions and capital expenditures discussed above.

  In connection with the Company's recapitalization, the Company and Holdings
incurred significant amounts of debt with interest and principal payments on
the Discount Debentures, the Senior Notes and under the Senior Credit
Facilities representing significant obligations of the Company and Holdings.
Holdings' operations are conducted through its subsidiaries and Holdings is,
therefore, dependent upon the cash flow of its subsidiaries, including the
Company, to meet its debt service obligations. The Company's liquidity needs
relate to working capital, debt service, capital expenditures and potential
acquisitions.

  The Company intends to fund its working capital, capital expenditures and
debt service requirements through cash flows generated from operations and
borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities. The Senior Credit Facilities
consist of a $425.0 million, non-amortizing revolving Credit Facility of which
a net amount of $211.0 million was drawn at September 30, 1999, a $50.0
million non-amortizing Term Loan and a $250.0 million First Priority Term
Loan. Amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility are available on a revolving
basis for the period commencing on July 22, 1998 (the date of the closing) and
ending on the sixth anniversary of the closing.

  The Senior Credit Facilities, the Senior Notes and the Discount Debentures
contain certain covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of the
Company and Holdings to: (i) make distributions, redeem partnership interests
or make certain other restricted payments or investments other than
distributions to pay taxes; (ii) incur

                                      19
<PAGE>

additional indebtedness or issue preferred equity interests; (iii) merge,
consolidate or sell all or substantially all of its assets; (iv) create liens
on assets; and (v) enter into certain transactions with affiliates or related
persons. In addition, the Senior Credit Facilities require the Company to
maintain specific financial ratios and tests, among other obligations,
including a minimum interest coverage ratio. At September 30, 1999, the
Company and Holdings were in full compliance with the financial covenants and
expects to remain in compliance for the foreseeable future, including with
respect to the minimum interest coverage ratio.

Current Developments

  On July 1, 1999, the Company entered into an amendment to its Senior Credit
Facilities providing for an increase of $150 million to its existing Revolving
Credit Facility and the issuance of $250 million of Term B loans. In
conjunction with this amendment to the Senior Credit Facilities, the Company
acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed substantially all of the
liabilities and obligations of Carlisle Construction Co. Inc., and its
subsidiaries on July 1, 1999. The aggregate purchase price of the acquisition
was $177.5 million financed through the issuance of $20 million of Class B
Preferred Units of Holdings and borrowings under the Company's Amended Senior
Credit Facilities.

Impact of Year 2000 Issue

  The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the
Company's computer programs or hardware that have date sensitive software or
embedded chips may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than
the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations
causing disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary
inability to process transactions, send invoices or engage in similar normal
business activities.

  Based on prior assessments, the Company determined that its information
technology systems required modification or replacement of portions of
hardware and software so that those systems would properly utilize dates
beyond December 31, 1999. The Company utilized both internal and external
resources to reprogram, or replace, test and implement the software and
hardware for Year 2000 modifications. The total cost of the Year 2000 project,
which was completed in 1998, was approximately $650,000 and was funded through
operating cash flows. The majority of the costs incurred were capitalized.
With the completion of the Year 2000 project, management now believes that its
internal information technology systems are Year 2000 compliant.

  The Company is also evaluating the Year 2000 compliance programs of its
critical customers, suppliers and service providers in an attempt to determine
the adequacy of their programs in addressing the Year 2000 issue. A failure by
a critical supplier or group of critical customers could negatively impact
sales, profits and cash flows. The Company believes that the formulation of
contingency plans will help mitigate exposure and losses should such a failure
occur. Such risks are further mitigated by the Company's diverse customer
base. However, because the Company's overall Year 2000 compliance is
contingent upon the readiness of its critical vendors and customers, there can
be no assurance that the Company's Year 2000 compliance programs will
adequately address Year 2000 issues not under its direct control.
