WILLIAMS SCOTSMAN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
(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 Company's
9.875% senior notes due 2007 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 June 30, 2003 , the
consolidated statements of operations for the six and three months ended
June 30, 2003 and 2002, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for
the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. The results of operations for
the periods ended June 30, 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) SALE OF FINANCE LEASES
On June 27, 2003, the Company completed the sale of a portion of its
finance lease portfolio at approximately book value. The total purchase
price was $4.6 million and the net proceeds from sale were used to pay down
borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility. The leases sold,
which were deemed not to be a part of the Company's core business, will
continue to be serviced by the Company on behalf of the buyer.
(4) CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATE
In October 2002, 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 $1,200 and a decrease in net
income of $350 and $705 or $.11 and $.21 per share, for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2003, respectively.
(5) STOCK BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE
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 2.3% 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 during the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003. In determining the pro
forma expense related to these modified options, the Company used the
following assumptions: risk free interest rates of 2.3%, expected life of
options of 3 to 5 years, and no dividends.

(5) STOCK BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE (continued)
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:

(6) 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 six months ended June 30, 2003 was $.4
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

(7) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Total comprehensive income was $8,496 and $8,118 for the six months ended June
30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $5,167 and $4,473 for the three months
ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively which includes net income and the
change in the foreign currency translation adjustment. The change in foreign
currency translation is determined by the volatility of the current exchange
rate at the time of reporting. (For further discussion of foreign currency
translation, see Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.) A summary of the
components of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30,
2003 and 2002 is presented below.

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.

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 4 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.
Foreign Currency Translation. We use the exchange rate effective at the
close of business on the reporting date to translate our foreign subsidiary's
balance sheet and an average rate for the reporting period to translate the
results of operations. The cumulative effect of changes in exchange rates is
recognized in a separate line in the equity section of the balance sheet.
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 June 30, 2003 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30,
2002.
Revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2003 were $107.8 million; an $8.3
million or 7.1% decrease from revenues of $116.1 million in the same period of
2002. The decrease resulted from a $3.9 million or 6.8% decrease in leasing
revenue, a $2.6 million or 12.4% decrease in new units sales, and an $1.1
million or 5.0% decrease in delivery and installation revenue from the same
period in 2002. The decrease in leasing revenue is attributable to the continued
soft economic conditions, which impacted fleet utilization, as well as
competitive pricing pressures. Average fleet utilization decreased 2% to 76%,
and the average monthly rental rate decreased approximately 5% from $264 to $251
from the same period in 2002. Decreases in delivery and installation and new
unit sales revenue were primarily due to the continued soft economic conditions.
In addition, the impact of severe weather, particularly in the mid-Atlantic and
northeastern parts of the United States, and the growing effect of state budget
issues in certain parts of the country have produced some delays of projects and
initiatives that affected the Company's operating results for the second
quarter.
13
Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 was $44.4 million, a $7.1
million or 13.7% decrease from the second quarter 2002 gross profit of $51.4
million. This decrease is primarily a result of a 14.4% decrease in leasing
gross profit of $5.0 million, a 22.5% or $1.0 million decrease in delivery and
installation gross profit, and a 16.2% or $.5 million decrease in new unit sales
gross profit. The leasing gross profit decrease was partially offset by cost
control initiatives implemented during 2003, which resulted in a $.6 million
improvement in cost of leasing as compared to the second quarter of 2002.
Excluding depreciation and amortization, leasing margins remained relatively
flat at approximately 79%. The decrease in new unit sales and delivery and
installation gross profit dollars is the result of the decrease in revenues
described above. Delivery and installation gross profit was also impacted by
redeployment costs incurred during the quarter.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the quarter ended
June 30, 2003 decreased by $3.1 million or 13.8% to $19.4 million from $22.4
million in the same period 2002. This was achieved by continuing our cost
control initiatives, primarily reductions in personnel related costs, as well as
a $.9 million reduction in stock option compensation expense for the quarter.
Interest expense decreased by $1.1 million or 5.2% to $20.3 million in 2003
from the same period in 2002. This net decrease is the result of a $54.1 million
or 11.6% decrease in the average credit facility debt over the same period of
2002, and a decrease of 26 basis points in effective interest rates on our
variable rate debt for the quarter.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2002.
Revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $208.5 million, a $27.4
million or 11.6% decrease from revenues of $236.0 million in the same period of
2002. The decrease resulted from an $8.8 million or 17.9% decrease in delivery
and installation revenue, an $8.6 million or 20.8% decrease in sales of new
units, and an $8.6 million or 7.4% decrease in leasing revenue. The decrease in
leasing revenue is attributable to the continued soft economic conditions, which
impacted fleet utilization, as well as competitive pricing pressures. Average
fleet utilization decreased 2% to 76%, and the average monthly rental rate
decreased approximately 4% from $264 to $253 from the same period in 2002. The
decreases in delivery and installation and new unit sales revenues were
primarily due to a large school project in 2002, which accounted for 44% of the
decrease in these revenues over the same period in 2002. In addition, the impact
of severe weather, particularly in the mid-Atlantic and northeastern parts of
the United States, and the growing effect of state budget issues in certain
parts of the country have produced some delays of projects and initiatives that
affected the Company's operating results for the first half of 2003.
Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $88.3 million, a
$15.9 million or 15.3% decrease from the same period of 2002 of $104.2 million.
This decrease is primarily a result of a 14.5% decrease in leasing gross profit
of $10.2 million, a 38.6% or $3.4 million decrease in delivery and installation
gross profit, and a 20.5% or $1.4 million decrease in sales of new units. The
decrease in leasing gross profit is a result of the decrease in leasing revenue
described above, partially offset by cost control initiatives implemented in
2003, which resulted in an $1.7 million improvement in cost of leasing as
compared to the same period for 2002. Consequently, leasing margins, excluding
depreciation and amortization, remained flat for the same periods in 2003 and
2002. 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, redeployment costs and continued
soft economic conditions.
14
SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $39.0 million, an
approximate $5.0 million or 11.4% decrease from SG&A expenses of $43.9 million
for the first six months of 2002. This was achieved by continuing our cost
control initiatives, primarily reductions in personnel related costs, as well as
a $.9 million reduction in stock option compensation expense for the first half
of 2003.
Interest expense decreased by $1.6 million or 3.8% to $40.9 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2003 from $42.5 million in the same period in 2002.
This decrease is the result of (a) $1.6 million of deferred financing costs
related to our former credit facility that was expensed in accordance with SFAS
145 in 2002, and (b) an $87.1 million or 17.1% decrease in the average credit
facility debt over the six month period ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the
same period of 2002, partially offset by an increase of approximately 23 basis
points in effective interest rates on our variable rate debt for the six months
ended June 30, 2003 and the interest expense on the additional $150 million of
senior notes issued in February 2002.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, our principal source of
funds consisted of cash flow from operating activities of $56.4 million and
$45.5 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.
Our Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2003 decreased by
$8.5 million or 10.1% to $76.1 million in 2003 compared to $84.6 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 measure of our ability to meet historical debt service
requirements. It is also used in determining our compliance with certain
financial ratios required by our credit agreement. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as
earnings before deducting interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization,
and noncash charges. Noncash charges for the first six months of 2003 and 2002
consist of noncash stock option compensation expense of approximately $1.7
million and $2.6 million, respectively. 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.
15
The table below reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to cash flow from operating activities, the most directly comparable
GAAP measure (in thousands).

----- ----- -----
Cash flow from operating activities $56,398 $45,528 $109,834
====== ====== =======
Cash flow used in investing activities was $23.0 million and $20.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 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 $32.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was used
primarily for net repayments of debt under our revolving credit facility. Cash used in financing activities
of $24.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was used primarily for deferred financing fees
incurred relating to the issuance of additional 9.875% senior notes and the new credit facility established
in the first quarter of that year.
In light of continued economic challenges we have implemented a series of initiatives, including staff
reductions, deferral of salary increases, elimination of our matching of employee contributions to their
401(k) accounts, general cost reductions, and intensified management of working capital. During the second
quarter, we also sold $4.6 million of finance leases. (See Note 3 Sale of Finance Leases.) These steps
are geared toward improving the company's underlying liquidity, profitability, and performance.
Availability under our credit agreement depends upon our continued compliance with certain covenants,
including, leverage, interest coverage, and utilization ratios. We are currently in compliance with all
financial covenants. For the twelve month period ended June 30, 2003, our actual leverage and
interest coverage ratios were 5.75 and 2.12, respectively, as compared to covenant requirements of
5.80 and 2.0, respectively. The leverage ratio was calculated using Adjusted EBITDA of $165,735, which
includes $1,031 relating to entities we acquired during the calculation period (as is required in computing
the leverage ratio under the credit agreement), for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2003 and the
consolidated debt balance of $952,653. The interest coverage ratio was calculated using Adjusted EBITDA
of $164,704 for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2003 and interest expense of $77,747, which excludes
deferred financing cost amortization of $5,837. We have requested amendments to the leverage, interest
coverage, and utilization ratio requirements to improve our liquidity under the credit agreement. We
anticipate that our banks will approve our request for amendment in the third quarter. Additionally, we
are exploring refinancing options to reduce the outstanding borrowings and/or commitments under our
credit facility. We expect this refinancing, if successful, to be completed during the third quarter.
16
As a result of the amendments to our financial covenants and the changes to our
debt structure, we believe that we will have sufficient liquidity under our
revolving line of credit and from cash generated from operations to fund our
operations for the next 12 months.
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 the end of the period covered by this
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, organized 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 will be 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 is only reasonable assurance that our
controls will succeed in achieving their stated goals under all potential
future conditions.
