(1) ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Williams Scotsman, Inc. (the Company) is a 100% owned subsidiary of Scotsman
Holdings, Inc. (Holdings), a corporation which was organized in November 1993
for the purpose of acquiring the Company. The Company's operations include its
100% owned subsidiaries, Willscot Equipment, LLC (Willscot), and Williams
Scotsman of Canada, Inc. Willscot, a special purpose subsidiary, was formed in
May 1997; its operations are limited to the leasing of its mobile office units
to the Company under a master lease. Additionally, Willscot has entered into a
management agreement with the Company whereby it pays a fee to the Company in an
amount equal to the rental and other income (net of depreciation expense) it
earns from the Company. Therefore, Willscot earns no net income. These 100%
owned subsidiaries are guarantors of the Company's credit facility. The 9.875%
senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured
basis by the Company's 100% owned subsidiaries, Space Master International,
Inc., Evergreen Mobile Company, Truck & Trailer Sales, Inc. and Williams
Scotsman of Canada, Inc. Willscot has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the
senior notes on a subordinated basis.
The operations of the Company consist primarily of the leasing and sale of
mobile offices, modular buildings and storage products (equipment) and their
delivery and installation.
(2) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial information referred to above has not been audited. In the opinion
of management, the unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments
(consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly
the Company's financial position as of March 31, 2003 and its operating results
and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. The
results of operations for the periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full year.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2002 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted. It is suggested that these financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's latest Form 10-K. Certain prior year amounts
have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
(3) CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATE
The Company changed its estimated residual value from 50% of capitalized costs
to $1 for certain classroom units. Additionally, the remaining estimated useful
life for a portion of these units was reduced to 45 months. The effect of this
change in estimate is an increase in depreciation expense of approximately $600
and a decrease in net income of $350 or $.11 per share, for the period ended
March 31, 2003.

(4) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
Pro forma information required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," as amended by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure," has been determined as if the Company
had accounted for its employee stock options under the minimum value method of
that Statement. The minimum value for these options was estimated at the date of
grant by calculating the excess of the fair value of the stock at the date of
grant over the present value of both the exercise price and the expected
dividend payments, each discounted at the risk free rate, over the expected
exercise life of the option. The following weighted average assumptions were
used: risk-free interest rate of 2.8% and 3.8% for 2003 and 2002, respectively,
weighted average expected life of the options of 5 years; and no dividends. In
addition to the pro forma expense on options granted, certain options were
modified in the current quarter. In determining the pro forma expense related to
these modified options, the Company used the following assumptions: risk free
interest rates of 2.8%, expected life of options of 3 to 5 years, and no
dividends.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated minimum value of the
options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. Note that the
effects of applying SFAS 123 for pro forma disclosure in the current period are
not necessarily representative of the effects on pro forma net income for future
periods. The Company's pro forma information follows:

(5) GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Under SFAS No. 142 goodwill and certain identified intangibles with indefinite
lives are no longer amortized, rather they are subject to annual impairment
tests. The Company performed the required annual test during the fourth quarter
of 2002 and determined that goodwill was not impaired. Amortization expense for
the three months ended March 31, 2003 was $.2 million, which represents the
amortization related to the identified intangible assets still required to be
amortized under SFAS No. 142. These include covenants not to compete and
customer base, which are being amortized on a straight line basis over periods
of 24 to 228 months. Amortization expense relating to these identified
intangibles for each of the next five years is as follows:
2003 $ 713
2004 559
2005 548
2006 215
2007 142
The following schedules detail the total amount of goodwill and other intangible
assets for the periods ended March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002.

(6) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Total comprehensive income was $3,329 and $3,645 for the three months ended
March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, which includes net income and the change
in the foreign currency translation adjustment.
(7) EARNINGS AND DIVIDENDS PER SHARE
Earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Dividends per
common share is computed by dividing dividends paid by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the periods.
(8) SUPPLEMENTAL CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The 9.875% senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior
unsecured basis by the Company's 100% owned subsidiaries: Space Master

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Forward Looking Statements
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this
report. The terms "company," "we," "our," and "us" refer to Williams Scotsman,
Inc. and its subsidiaries. The following discussion and analysis contains
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual
results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements as a result of certain factors, including those contained in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 under the
headings "Business", "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in that report. See the Safe
Harbor Statement at the beginning of this report.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
General. This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and
results of operations is based upon our unaudited consolidated financial
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial
statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of
contingent liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate estimates, including
those related to depreciation of rental equipment, bad debts, contingencies and
litigation, intangible assets, and income taxes. We base our estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are
not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more
significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated
financial statements. A critical accounting policy is one which is both
important to the portrayal of a company's financial condition and results, and
requires management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as
a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are
inherently uncertain.
Depreciation of rental equipment. We depreciate rental equipment over its
estimated useful life, after giving effect to an estimated salvage value. The
useful life of our rental equipment is determined based on our estimate of the
period over which the asset will generate revenue (generally 20 years), and the
residual value (typically 50% of original cost) is determined based on our
estimate of the minimum value we could realize from the asset after this period.
The lives and residual values are subject to periodic evaluation and may be
affected by, among other factors, changes in building codes, legislation,
regulations, local permitting and internal factors which may include, but are
not limited to, changes in equipment specifications or maintenance policies. If
these estimates change in the future, we may be required to recognize increased
or decreased depreciation expense for these assets. See Note 3 for a description
of a change in accounting estimate associated with certain classroom units.
Allowance for doubtful accounts. We are required to estimate the
collectibility of our trade receivables. Accordingly, allowances for doubtful
accounts are maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our
customers to make required payments. We evaluate a variety of factors in
assessing the ultimate realization of these receivables including the current
credit-worthiness of customers.
12
The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on historical
collection results in addition to an ongoing review of specific customers. If
the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an
impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be
required, resulting in decreased net income.
Contingencies. We are subject to proceedings, lawsuits, and other claims
related to environmental, product and other matters, and are required to assess
the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters as well as
potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of reserves
required, if any, for these contingencies is made after analysis of each
individual matter. The required reserves may change in the future due to new
developments in each matter or changes in approach such as a change in
settlement strategy in dealing with these matters.
Goodwill and Intangible Impairment. We have significant intangible assets
related to goodwill and other acquired intangibles. The determination of related
estimated useful lives and whether or not these assets are impaired involves
significant judgments. After adopting SFAS 142 in 2002, goodwill was determined
not to be impaired. Future changes in strategy and/or market conditions could
significantly impact these judgments and require adjustments to recorded asset
balances.
Income Taxes. As part of the process of preparing our unaudited
consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate income taxes in
each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. The process involves estimating
actual current tax expense along with assessing temporary differences resulting
from differing treatment of items for book and tax purposes. These timing
differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in
our unaudited consolidated balance sheet. We record a valuation allowance to
reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be
realized. We have considered future taxable income and ongoing tax planning
strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31,
2002.
Revenues in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 were $100.7 million; a $19.2
million or 16.0% decrease from revenues of $119.9 million in the same period of
2002. The decrease resulted from a $7.7 million or 28.9% decrease in delivery
and installation revenue and a $6.0 million or 29.2% decrease in new unit sales
revenue. Leasing revenue also decreased $4.7 million or 8.1% from the same
period in 2002. Decreases in delivery and installation and sales of new units
revenues were primarily due to a large school project in the first quarter of
2002, which accounted for 64% of the decrease in new sales and delivery and
installation revenues. The decrease in leasing revenue is the result of a 3%
decrease in the average fleet utilization to 76%. Also, the average monthly
rental rate decreased approximately 4% from $265 to $255 from the same period in
2002. The decrease in leasing revenue is attributable to the softening economic
conditions, which impacted fleet utilization and the average monthly rental
rate, as well as competitive pricing pressures. In addition, the impact of
severe winter weather, particularly in the mid-Atlantic and northeastern parts
of the United States, and the growing effect of state budget issues throughout
the country have produced delays of projects and initiatives that affected our
operating results for the first quarter of 2003.
Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was $44.0 million, an
$8.8 million or 16.7% decrease from the first quarter 2002 gross profit of $52.8
million. This decrease is primarily a result of a 14.6% decrease in leasing
gross profit of $5.3 million, a 53.7% or $2.5 million decrease in delivery and
13
installation gross profit, and a 24.4% or $.9 million decrease in new sale gross
profit. The decrease in leasing gross profit is a result of a decrease in
leasing margins from 61.8% in 2002 to 57.5% in 2003. This decrease in leasing
gross profit, that resulted from the decrease in revenue described above, was
partially offset by a $1.1 million improvement in cost of leasing as compared to
the first quarter of 2002. Excluding depreciation and amortization, leasing
margins increased .2% from 80.3% in 2002 to 80.5% in 2003. The decrease in new
unit sales and delivery and installation gross profit dollars is the result of
the non-recurrence of major classroom projects in the Northeast as well as
weather related delays and softened economic conditions.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the quarter ended
March 31, 2003 decreased by $1.9 million or 8.9% to $19.6 million from $21.5
million in the same period 2002. This was achieved by continuing our cost
control initiatives, primarily reductions in personnel related costs.
Interest expense decreased by $.5 million or 2.5% to $20.6 million in 2003
from the same period in 2002. This net decrease is the result of a $120.6
million or 21.8% decrease in the average credit facility debt over the same
period of 2002, partially offset by an increase of 66 basis points in effective
interest rates on our variable rate debt for the quarter and interest expense on
the additional $150 million of senior notes issued in February 2002. The
increase in rates on the variable bank debt is attributable to a 1.0% increase
in rates under the current credit facility in comparison with the former bank
loan, partially offset by decreases in market rates compared to 2002. The 2002
expense also included $1.6 million of deferred financing costs related to our
former credit facility that was expensed in accordance with SFAS 145.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, our principal source
of funds consisted of cash flow from operating activities of $29.6 million and
$30.3 million, respectively. These were largely generated by the rental of units
from our lease fleet and sales of new mobile office units. The majority of the
cash generated from operations was used to reduce existing debt and to purchase
additional fleet units.
Our Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter decreased by $5.3 million or
12.7% to $36.7 million in 2003 compared to $42.0 million for the same period in
2002. This decrease in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily the result of decreased
leasing and delivery and installation gross profits described above, partially
offset by decreased SG&A expenses. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides the
best indication of our financial performance and provides the best measure of
our ability to meet historical debt service requirements. We define Adjusted
EBITDA as earnings before deducting interest, income taxes, depreciation,
amortization, and noncash charges. Noncash charges for 2003 consists of noncash
stock option compensation expense of approximately $11,000. In 2002, noncash
charges were zero. We utilize Adjusted EBITDA when interpreting operating trends
and results of operations of our core business operations. Accordingly, we
believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information with respect to our
overall operating performance and our ability to incur and service debt, make
capital expenditures and meet working capital requirements. However, Adjusted
EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute to cash flow
from operations, net income, or other measures of performance prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of a
company's profitability or liquidity.

activities, the most directly comparable GAAP measure (in thousands).

Cash flow from operating activities $ 29,644 $ 30,257
============== =============
Cash flow used in investing activities was $10.3 million and $9.7 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Our primary
capital expenditures are for the discretionary purchase of new units for the
lease fleet and units purchased through acquisitions. We seek to maintain our
lease fleet in good condition at all times and generally increase the size of
our lease fleet only in those local or regional markets experiencing economic
growth and established unit demand.
Cash used in financing activities of $19.2 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2003 was used primarily for net repayments of debt under our
revolving credit facility. Cash used in financing activities of $20.8 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was primarily for deferred financing
fees incurred relating to the issuance of additional senior notes and the new
credit facility agreement established in the first quarter of that year.
In order to meet our future cash requirements, we intend to use internally
generated funds and to borrow under our credit facility. We believe we have
sufficient liquidity under our revolving line of credit and from cash generated
from operations to fund our operations for the next 12 months.
In light of continued economic challenges we have instigated a series of
initiatives, including continued staff reductions, deferral of salary increases,
elimination of our 401K match, implementation of general cost reductions, and
intensified management of working capital. We are also evaluating opportunities
to sell non core assets such as real estate and capital leases. These steps are
geared toward improving the company's underlying profitability and performance.
Availability under the credit agreement depends upon our continued
compliance with certain covenants, including leverage and interest coverage
ratios. We are currently in compliance with all financial covenants. The credit
agreement, however, provides for a decrease in the maximum allowable leverage
ratio from 5.80x currently to 5.60x at December 31, 2003.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have
concluded, based on their evaluation as of a date within 90 days prior
to the date of filing of this quarterly report, that our disclosure
controls and procedures are (1) effective to ensure that material
information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or
submitted by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and (2) designed to
ensure that material information required to be disclosed by us in
such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls.
There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to
the date of their evaluation, nor were there any significant
deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls.
Accordingly, no corrective actions were required or undertaken.
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the
objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system
is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events.
Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be
no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under
all potential future conditions regardless of how remote.
Item 5. Other Information.
The Company is not required to file reports with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, but is filing this Quarterly Report on
Form10-Q on a voluntary basis. Accordingly, it is not an "issuer" as defined in
Section 2(a)(7) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
