NATIONSRENT COMPANIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2005
1. General
     Reporting Entity
     NationsRent Companies, Inc. together with its subsidiaries (the “Company”) is one of the largest full-service equipment rental companies in the United States. The Company offers a comprehensive line of equipment for rent to a broad range of construction, industrial and homeowner customers. The Company also sells new and used equipment, parts, merchandise and supplies, and provides maintenance and repair services.
     Reorganization Under Chapter 11
     On June 13, 2003 (the “Effective Date”), NationsRent, Inc., a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries (the “Predecessor Company” or the “Debtors”) emerged from proceedings under Chapter 11 (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) pursuant to the terms of the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of NationsRent, Inc. and its debtor subsidiaries dated February 7, 2003, as modified (the “Plan”). On the Effective Date, the Predecessor Company merged into an indirect subsidiary of the Company. In connection with its emergence from bankruptcy, the Company reflected the terms of the Plan in its consolidated financial statements by adopting the principles of Fresh Start Reporting in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (“SOP”) 90-7, “Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code.” For accounting purposes, the effects of the consummation of the Plan, as well as adjustments for Fresh-Start Reporting, were recorded in the consolidated financial statements as of June 1, 2003. Under Fresh-Start Reporting, a new entity is deemed to be created for financial reporting purposes and their recorded amounts of assets and liabilities are adjusted to reflect their estimated fair values.
     Restatements
     The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 have been restated for the matters described in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A, for the period ended June 30, 2004 as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in March 2005. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report reflect such restatements.
     Basis of Presentation
     The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and with rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, the financial information included herein reflects all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of interim results and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that

5


Table of Contents

affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in complete financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be reported for the year ending December 31, 2005.
     The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 100% wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Comprehensive loss was equal to net loss for all periods presented. Certain prior period amounts presented herein have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
     Marketable Securities
     Management determines the appropriate classification of marketable securities at the time of purchase. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” investments that the Company does not have the intent to hold to maturity are classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair market value. The amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, and any realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary, and interest and dividends are included in other (income) expense on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for all available-for-sale securities. The unrealized gains and losses are reported as a net amount in a separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized, and was insignificant at June 30, 2005. The Company had no held-to-maturity investments, as defined by SFAS No. 115, at June 30, 2005. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Marketable securities consist primarily of overnight repurchase agreements (repos), commercial paper and auction rate securities. Commercial paper with a maturity date beyond 90 days from the date of purchase is classified as marketable securities, all others are cash equivalents. Auction rate securities are long term variable rate bonds tied to short term interest rates that are usually reset at intervals of 7, 28, or 35 days.
     Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
     In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections — A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.” SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements for a change in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. Additionally, retrospective application is not required when explicit transition requirements specific to newly adopted accounting principles exist. Retrospective application requires the cumulative effect of the change on periods prior to those presented to be reflected in the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the first period presented and the offsetting adjustments to be recorded to opening retained earnings. SFAS No. 154 retains the guidance contained in APB Opinion No. 20 for reporting both the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements and a change in accounting estimate. SFAS No. 154 will become effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We are required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 154, as applicable, beginning in fiscal year 2006.

Table of Contents

     In June 2005, the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue No. 05-6, “Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements” (“EITF 05-6”). This guidance requires that leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination or purchased subsequent to the inception of a lease be amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes renewals that are reasonably assured at the date of the business combination or purchase. This guidance is effective for interim reporting periods beginning after June 29, 2005, and is applicable only to leasehold improvements that are purchased or acquired in reporting periods beginning after the effective date. We do not expect that the adoption of EITF 05-6 will have a significant effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
2. Revenue Recognition
     The Company recognizes revenue from sales when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred; (iii) the price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectibility is probable.
     Equipment rentals in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations include revenue earned on equipment rentals, rental equipment pick-up and delivery fees, loss damage waiver fees and fuel sales. Revenue earned on equipment rentals, rental equipment pick-up and delivery fees, and loss damage waiver fees are recognized on a straight-line basis over the rental contract period which may be daily, weekly or monthly. Fuel sales are recognized at the end of the rental contract period.
     Revenue from the sales of equipment, parts and supplies and retail merchandise is recognized at the time of delivery to, or pick-up by, the customer. When rental equipment is sold, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts. Proceeds from the sale and the related book value of the equipment sold are reported as revenue from sales of equipment, merchandise, service, parts and supplies and cost of sales of equipment, merchandise, service, parts and supplies, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
     Revenue from the sale of equipment includes revenue earned in connection with sale/purchase agreements between the Company and certain manufacturers from whom the Company purchases new equipment. The Company accounts for these exchanges at fair value as monetary exchanges under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions,” and Statement of Financial and Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 153, “Exchange of Nonmonetary Assets,” and revenue is recognized at the time of delivery to, or pick up by, the manufacturer. In certain instances, the sale transaction may contain a limited subjective right of return which extends the date of revenue recognition to the date the subjective right of return period lapses. The Company establishes fair market value for each unit of equipment sold in sale/purchase agreements based on independent appraisals. Any excess sale price over the estimated fair market value of the used equipment sold is accounted for as a reduction of the cost of new equipment purchased by the Company from the same manufacturer. For the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company recognized revenue of approximately $3,409,000 and $3,032,000, respectively, related to sale/purchase agreements. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company recognized revenue of approximately $6,989,000 and $6,568,000, respectively, related to sale/purchase agreements. During the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded excess sale price of approximately $307,000 and $0, respectively, as a reduction of the cost of new rental equipment acquired pursuant to sale/purchase agreements. During the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company recorded excess sale price of approximately $557,000 and $0, respectively, as a reduction of the cost of new rental equipment acquired pursuant to sale/purchase agreements. The excess sale price is amortized to depreciation

Table of Contents

expense over the average useful life of the new equipment purchased from the same manufacturer. For the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the amount amortized was $44,000 and $0, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the amount amortized was $78,000 and $0, respectively. At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the unamortized balance of excess sale price recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet was approximately $1,384,000 and $904,000, respectively.
3. Business Acquisition
     In January 2005, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of an equipment rental company for total consideration of approximately $7,615,000, including acquisition costs. The Company did not assume any liabilities. Of the total purchase price, $500,000 was retained by the Company pending any post closing adjustments related to deficiencies in the acquired assets and, as a result of the Company’s post closing review, the Company has agreed to pay approximately $412,000 after post closing adjustments. Also, in connection with the acquisition, the Company agreed to pay 50%, up to a maximum of $200,000, to the former owner for certain potential income tax implications related to the tax allocation of purchase price. The final amount will be determined upon review of the former owner’s completed income tax returns. Any future payments made related to these contingencies will be considered additional purchase price and allocated accordingly to the acquired assets.
     The purchase price of approximately $7,415,000 (excluding $200,000 of contingent purchase price) was allocated to the assets acquired, primarily rental equipment, based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess purchase price over the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated to goodwill. Goodwill of approximately $305,000 was recorded as a result of the acquisition. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and will be adjusted once the outcome of the purchase price contingencies is resolved. When the $200,000 contingent purchase price is determined, the additional payment to the former owner, if any, will result in an increase in the amount of recorded goodwill. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill is no longer amortized, but is tested at least annually for impairment.
     The results of operations of the acquired business have been included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations since the acquisition date and did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations. The pro forma results of operations, assuming the acquisition took place at the beginning of the periods presented, was not significant.

     Senior Secured Notes
     In October 2003, the Company completed a private offering of $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9.5% senior secured notes due 2010 (the “Original Senior Secured Notes”). The Company pays interest on the notes semi-annually in cash, in arrears, on October 15 and April 15, at an annual interest rate of 9.5%. The notes mature on October 15, 2010. The net proceeds were used to repay amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility (as defined below), equipment-related purchase money obligations, equipment leases and for other general corporate purposes.
     In April 2004, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-114115), as amended, with the SEC with respect to the 9.5% senior secured notes (the “New Notes,” and together with the Original Senior Secured Notes, the “Senior Secured Notes”) that have substantially identical terms as the Original Senior Secured Notes, except that the New Notes are freely transferable. The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on July 28, 2004 and promptly thereafter, the Company commenced an exchange offer, pursuant to which holders of the Original Senior Secured Notes were able to exchange Original Senior Secured Notes for the New Notes. The New Notes evidence the same debt as the Original Senior Secured Notes, are entitled to the benefits of the indenture governing the Original Senior Secured Notes and are treated under the indenture as a single class with the Original Senior Secured Notes. In September 2004, the Company completed the exchange offer with 100% of the Original Senior Secured Notes being exchanged for New Notes.
     The Company may redeem all of the Senior Secured Notes on or after October 15, 2007. The Company may also redeem up to 35% of the notes prior to October 15, 2006 with the net proceeds of an equity offering at 109.5% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest; provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes issued must remain outstanding after such redemption.
     The Senior Secured Notes were issued by NationsRent Companies, Inc. and are guaranteed by all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries. NationsRent Companies, Inc. has no independent assets or operations, the guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several, and there are no other subsidiaries other than the guarantors. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of NationsRent Companies, Inc. to obtain funds from its subsidiaries.

Table of Contents

     The Senior Secured Notes and the guarantees are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ rental equipment (other than titled vehicles), subject to certain permitted liens and certain other liens. The Company is required to certify each December and June during the term of the Senior Secured Notes that its collateral value coverage ratio, as defined, is at least 2.0 to 1.0. At June 30, 2005, the Company was in compliance with this requirement.
     The indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes contains various affirmative and negative covenants, subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions, including limitations on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness or enter into sale and leaseback transactions; limitations on the Company’s ability to repay or prepay subordinated indebtedness; certain restrictions on dividends, stock redemptions and other distributions; restrictions on making certain investments or acquisitions; restrictions on the Company’s ability to grant liens on assets, enter into transactions with stockholders and affiliates, merge, consolidate or transfer assets. The indenture also contains various customary events of default.
     On April 14, 2005, the Company launched a consent solicitation seeking the consent of the holders of the Senior Secured Notes to amend the indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes to allow the Company to redeem all of its outstanding 6.5% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2008. On April 20, 2005, the Company received the requisite number of consents and on April 26, 2005 entered into a supplemental indenture to effect the amendment. In June 2005, the Company redeemed its convertible subordinated notes. See – “Convertible Subordinated Notes Payable.”
     Credit Facility
     In June 2003, the Company entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with an aggregate commitment of up to $150,000,000 with a syndicate of lenders. The Credit Facility was used to provide the exit financing for the Company pursuant to the Plan, to pay transaction expenses incurred in connection therewith and to refinance then existing indebtedness. In October 2003, the Company amended and restated the Credit Facility to reduce the aggregate commitments to up to $75,000,000 (including a $30,000,000 sub-limit for letters of credit) and repaid all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility with the proceeds of the offering of Senior Secured Notes. In December 2004, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Credit Facility to amend certain items including extending the maturity date. In April 2005, the Company amended and restated the Credit Facility (the “Amended and Restated Credit Facility”) to, among other things, increase the availability from $75,000,000 up to $100,000,000 (including a $40,000,000 sub-limit for letters of credit) and extend the maturity of the facility to April 2010.
     Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, availability is subject to a borrowing base test based upon eligible trade accounts receivable, titled vehicles and real estate. Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility bear interest at floating rates equivalent to either a base rate, as defined therein, plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.00% or the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.50%; provided, however, that until June 30, 2005, the applicable margin shall be no less than 0.50% for the base rate loans and 2.50% for the LIBOR loans. Letters of credit fees range from 1.50% to 2.50%. There is an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.375% to 0.50% and a letter of credit fronting fee of 0.125%. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility is secured by a first lien on the Company’s assets, except for the Company’s rental equipment and inventory. The facility is also secured by a pledge of the capital stock of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Company may also grant to the lenders under such facility certain mortgages and other security interests on certain real property owned by the Company.

     The Amended and Restated Credit Facility is available to (i) refinance existing indebtedness, (ii) finance the ongoing capital expenditures and working capital needs of the Company, (iii) issue standby letters of credit and (iv) finance other general corporate purposes of the Company. The facility contains various affirmative and negative covenants customary for similar working capital facilities. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility also contains certain customary events of default. In addition, the Company must maintain a debt to cash flow ratio, as defined, of not greater than 3.00 to 1.00 for the trailing 12-month period for each fiscal quarter. At June 30, 2005, the Company was in compliance with this requirement.
     As of June 30, 2005, the Company had no cash borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility and had approximately $24,409,000 in outstanding letters of credit.
     Senior Unsecured Notes
     On April 26, 2005, the Company completed a private offering of $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9.5% senior unsecured notes due 2015 (the “Original Senior Unsecured Notes”). The Company will pay interest on the notes semi-annually in cash, in arrears, on May 1 and November 1, beginning on November 1, 2005, at an annual rate of interest of 9.5%. The Senior Unsecured Notes will mature on May 1, 2015. The Company used a portion of proceeds from the offering to redeem the Company’s outstanding 6.5% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2008 and the Company will use the remaining net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes. See—“Convertible Subordinated Notes Payable.”
     In June 2005, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-125519) with the SEC with respect to the 9.5% senior unsecured notes (the “New Unsecured Notes,” and together with the Original Senior Unsecured Notes, the “Senior Unsecured Notes”) that have substantially identical terms as the Original Senior Unsecured Notes, except that the New Unsecured Notes are freely transferable. The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on June 17, 2005 and promptly thereafter, the Company commenced an exchange offer, pursuant to which holders of the Original Senior Unsecured Notes were able to exchange Original Senior Unsecured Notes for the New Unsecured Notes. The New Unsecured Notes evidence the same debt as the Original Senior Unsecured Notes, are entitled to the benefits of the indenture governing the Original Senior Unsecured Notes and are treated under the indenture as a single class with the Original Senior Unsecured Notes. In July 2005, the Company completed the exchange offer with 100% of the Original Senior Unsecured Notes being exchanged for New Unsecured Notes.
     The Company may redeem all of the Senior Unsecured Notes on or after May 1, 2010. The Company may also redeem up to 35% of the Senior Unsecured Notes prior to May 1, 2009 with the net proceeds of an equity offering at 109.5% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest; provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes issued must remain outstanding after such redemption.
     The Senior Unsecured Notes were issued by NationsRent Companies, Inc. and are guaranteed by all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries. NationsRent Companies, Inc. has no independent assets or operations, the guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several, and there are no other subsidiaries other than the guarantors. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of NationsRent Companies, Inc. to obtain funds from its subsidiaries.

     The indenture governing the Senior Unsecured Notes contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants, subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions, including, limitations on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness or enter into sale and leaseback transactions; limitations on the Company’s ability to repay or prepay subordinated indebtedness; certain restrictions on dividends, stock redemptions and other distributions; restrictions on making certain investments or acquisitions; restrictions on the Company’s ability to grant liens on assets, enter into transactions with stockholders and affiliates, merge, consolidate or transfer assets. The indenture also contains various customary events of default.
     Convertible Subordinated Notes Payable
     On the Effective Date, the Company issued $45,211,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.5% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2008 in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The convertible subordinated notes had features that allowed the holder to convert the principal of the note, or a portion thereof, into common stock at a conversion price of $242 per share. In September 2003, the Company gave notice to the note holders that it was deferring interest payments on the notes until further notice in accordance with the terms of the notes. At December 31, 2004, the deferred interest payments amounted to $4,753,000 and are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
     On June 30, 2005, the Company redeemed $30,812,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.5% Convertible Subordinated Notes for cash at 100% of their principal amount together with approximately $4,347,000 in accrued and unpaid interest. Prior to the effective time of the redemption, holders of notes representing approximately $14,399,000 of aggregate principal amount elected to convert the principal amount of their notes together with approximately $2,031,000 of accrued and unpaid interest into 59,503 shares of the Company’s common stock. The note redemption was funded using a portion of the proceeds from the offering of the Senior Unsecured Notes.
     Immediately prior to the above redemption and conversion, the unamortized deferred financing costs related to the issuance of the 6.5% Convertible Subordinated Notes was approximately $471,000. Upon redemption of such notes, the Company charged to interest expense the pro rata portion of the remaining balance of the unamortized debt issuance costs, which was $320,000 at June 30, 2005. The pro rata portion of the remaining balance of the unamortized debt issuance costs related to the notes which were converted amounted to approximately $151,000 and is reflected as a reduction in additional paid in capital at June 30, 2005.
     At June 30, 2005, the Company had approximately $7,089,000 of unpaid principal plus $1,000,000 of accrued interest of its redeemed Convertible Subordinated Notes included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Such amounts are expected to be paid in 2005.
5. Floor Plan Payable
     During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company entered into equipment floor plan arrangements with CNH Capital America LLC, an affiliate of Case Corporation, for Case equipment and with LBX Company LLC for Link-Belt equipment. The terms of these arrangements generally include up to six months interest free payment terms followed by a term during which interest is charged. Principal payments are generally due at the earlier of sale of the equipment or twenty-four months from the invoice date. Additionally, the Company is required to pay curtailments on equipment that is placed in the

12


Table of Contents

Company’s rental fleet, based upon the original cost of the equipment and hourly usage. Curtailments are applied against the outstanding principal of the equipment obligation. The floor plan obligations are collateralized by the specific equipment. The Company entered into the floor plan arrangements with the manufacturers during the six months ended June 30, 2005. At June 30, 2005, the Company had approximately $6,100,000 outstanding under the floor plan obligations, which is included in accounts payable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
6. Reorganization Items, Net
     Reorganization income of $180,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 resulted from changes in estimates related to accrued professional fees related to the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy.
7. Taxes
     The Company’s provision for income taxes was zero in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. The Company’s calculation of its provision for income taxes takes into account the geographical distribution of the Company’s taxable income for state purposes and changes to the Company’s valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for federal and state purposes and, therefore, results in a significantly different provision for income taxes than would be obtained by applying the federal statutory tax rate of 35% to the Company’s pre-tax income (loss). The provision for income taxes is zero, primarily as a result of the net operating loss carryforwards.
8. Restricted Stock
     In June 2003, the Company adopted a restricted stock plan (the “Restricted Stock Plan”), pursuant to which directors, officers, management and key employees of the Company are eligible to receive grants of restricted shares of common stock. Under the Restricted Stock Plan, the Company may grant up to an aggregate of 141,000 shares of common stock. Such restricted shares are not transferable (except under limited circumstances) and subject to forfeiture upon such terms and conditions as the Company’s Board of Directors or any committee thereof (if so delegated by the Board) shall determine. The Company accounts for restricted stock awards in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations.
     As of June 30, 2005, there were an aggregate of 128,909 Shares of restricted stock outstanding which were valued at $71.59 per share at the time of issuance to certain of its officers and directors under the Restricted Stock Plan. Deferred compensation is charged for the difference between the market value of the restricted shares and the sales price of the shares and was recorded as a reduction of stockholders’ equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Deferred compensation for such shares of restricted stock is amortized as compensation expense over the vesting period of such shares which range from immediate vesting to a four-year vesting schedule. The Company recognized compensation expense for these shares as they vest and accordingly recognized expense of $214,000 and $212,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company recognized compensation expense for these shares of approximately $426,000 and approximately $3,081,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
     You should read the following discussion of our results of operations and financial condition in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes.
Overview
     In June 2003 we emerged from bankruptcy with the long-term objective of becoming a premier competitor in the construction equipment industry in terms of safety, reputation and financial performance. Since then, our new management team has focused on rebuilding our customer relationships, repositioning and renewing our rental fleet, and providing the motivation and training to our people to make them more effective.
     Our results of operations for the first six months of 2005 continue to reflect several key initiatives launched during 2003 that were designed to improve our profitability and leverage our infrastructure over the next several years. They include:
    focusing on diversifying our revenue mix to increase sales of new and used equipment, in-shop and on-site maintenance and repairs for our customers, and sales of parts and merchandise;
 
    implementing a new incentive compensation plan for our sales people that rewards higher volumes of revenue at higher margins; and
 
    focusing on strengthening our relationships with key manufacturers to leverage pricing and payment terms, service and manufacturer training.
     In the first six months of 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004, we achieved growth in both rental and non-rental revenue. The growth was driven by an improved industry environment and our key initiatives. Non-rental revenue accounted for the majority of the overall revenue growth as higher volume and better pricing drove increases in new and used equipment sales. The higher volume of sales was largely the result of continuing to re-emphasize sales of equipment through training, targeted incentive compensation programs and increasing inventories of equipment held for sale.
     Rental revenue grew in the first six months of 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004 partly as a result of the increase in the average first cost of our rental fleet, which is the purchase price paid for the equipment, and partly due to increased utilization of our rental fleet. The average first cost of our rental fleet increased by approximately 1.6% to $951.7 million in the first half of 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004.
     We believe better pricing for sales and rentals is, in part, a function of industry and economic conditions. Increased non-residential construction activity in the first half of 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004 and continued strong demand for construction equipment in the U.S. market, relative to supply, has led to a greater demand for our services which, in turn, has had a positive impact on the revenue we generate from rentals, and from sales of new and used equipment.

16


Table of Contents

     One of our channels for disposing of used equipment is through auctions and therefore, we have benefited from a trend of increasing auction prices year over year.
     While the increased demand for construction equipment has resulted in higher demand for our services, it has also resulted in an increase in the delivery times, and in some cases the prices, for the equipment that we purchase from manufacturers. Projected delivery schedules affect us most when planning our equipment needs for the spring and summer months, when demand for our equipment is greatest. When equipment and parts are not received as planned it can result in a loss of rental and equipment sales revenue. If manufacturer delivery times lengthen further, we will have to plan our equipment purchases for our peak periods earlier than we have in the past. Management believes, however, that our focus on reducing the number of equipment suppliers we buy from will not only enable us to negotiate better pricing, but also may enable us to become a preferred customer with these vendors. We believe preferred customer status may help us obtain better-than-average delivery times in some cases.
     Worldwide price increases for steel in 2004 led to an increase in our equipment costs from some manufacturers. Our sales prices and rental rates generally have increased in advance of these cost increases. We believe that as long as the demand for construction equipment exceeds the supply, rental rates and the resale value of used equipment will continue to rise, thereby offsetting much of the increased equipment costs. If construction activity begins to weaken and competition intensifies, however, we cannot be certain that we will be able to continue to offset increased equipment costs through price increases or to continue to maintain existing pricing.
Impact of Fresh-Start Reporting
     On June 13, 2003 (the “Effective Date”), NationsRent emerged from bankruptcy proceedings under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code pursuant to a consensual plan of reorganization (the “Plan of Reorganization”). We recognized the effects of the reorganization for accounting purposes on June 1, 2003. Accounting for the reorganization had a significant effect on the carrying value of our assets and liabilities, which makes comparing and understanding the results of our operations from prior to the Effective Date to after the Effective Date more difficult.
     In connection with our emergence from bankruptcy, we determined the fair value of our assets and liabilities pursuant to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position (“SOP”) 90-7, “Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code.” The excess of the fair value of our assets, net of the fair value of our liabilities, over our reorganization value (negative goodwill) at the Effective Date was recorded as a pro rata reduction of the carrying value of our long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” Accordingly, on the Effective Date, our rental fleet and property and equipment was written down by approximately 44% below fair value, representing a write-down of approximately $179.1 million and $34.4 million, respectively.
     Until these assets are disposed, the write-downs recorded as a result of fresh-start reporting increase our operating income (or decrease our operating loss), because:
    they increase the gain, or reduce the loss, on sale or disposal of these assets;
 
    they reduce the depreciation expense we record on these assets while in our rental fleet; and

17


Table of Contents

    they reduce depreciation expense on non-rental assets, such as our delivery vehicles, our leasehold improvements and our information systems.
     These favorable effects on our results of operation will continue until all of the assets written down have been sold, disposed or fully depreciated. We expect that most of the rental assets written down in 2003 will be disposed of in the ordinary course of business through 2010. As the assets continue to be depreciated and sold off the impact will diminish. These impacts are discussed individually in the review of our results of operations which follows.

    a period-over-period improvement in non-residential construction activity;
 
    continued strong demand for our equipment;

    increased investment through the purchase of new fleet and repair of older fleet.
     Utilization for the second quarter of 2005 was 50.5% compared to 49.8% for the same period in 2004. We believe that higher deployment and better pricing were the key factors in the increase. Utilization, measured as total rental revenue divided by the average first cost of the rental fleet over the applicable period, is used as an approximate measure of financial return on the investment in our rental fleet. For equipment acquired new or used, first cost is the purchase price paid for the equipment. For equipment acquired in connection with business acquisitions, first cost is the estimated fair value of such equipment.
     The primary drivers for the increase in sales of equipment are described above in the “Overview.”
     Gross profit. Gross profit margin on equipment rentals, including rental equipment and vehicle depreciation, decreased from 24.2% in the second quarter of 2004 to 21.5% in the same period in 2005.
     Gross profit on equipment rentals was negatively impacted primarily by an increase in depreciation expense as a result of replacing fully depreciated older rental fleet and fleet that was written down as a result of Fresh-Start Reporting with new rental fleet.
     Gross profit margin on sales of equipment, merchandise, service, parts and supplies increased from 39.4% for the second quarter of 2004 to 44.5% for the same period in 2005. The increase was primarily a result of the increase in gross profit margin on rental equipment sales.
     Gross profit on rental equipment sales was positively impacted primarily by:
    continued improvement in pricing; and
 
    a greater volume of sales through retail channels, which yield higher margins, versus auction channels.
     In addition, our gross profit on the sale of rental equipment was positively impacted as a result of implementing fresh start reporting. The following table presents normalized gross profit and gross profit margins for rental equipment sales after removing the effect of fresh-start reporting ($ in thousands):

Table of Contents

    a $2.6 million increase in compensation and sales commissions related to our increased revenue and an incentive compensation plan supporting our key initiatives; and
 
    a $1.7 million increase in bad debt expense as a result of an increase in sales as well as in 2004, the Company reduced the allowance for doubtful accounts as a result of improved collections.
     Partially offsetting the increase in operating expenses was a $1.2 million decrease in compensation expense that reflects the vesting of fewer restricted stock awards in the second quarter of 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue were 18.6% and 19.8% in the second quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively.
     Interest Expense, net. The increase in interest expense in the second quarter of 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004 primarily relates to:
    interest accruing on our 9.5% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2015 which were issued in April 2005; and
    the write off of deferred financing costs related to our 6.5% Convertible Subordinated Promissory Notes due 2008 which were redeemed in June 2005.

     Revenue. Revenue from equipment rentals was positively impacted for the first six months of 2005 compared to the same period of 2004 primarily by improved pricing and higher deployment, which resulted from:
    a period-over-period improvement in non-residential construction activity;
 
    a continued strong demand for our equipment;
 
    increased investment through the purchase of new fleet and repair of old fleet.
     Utilization for the first six months of 2005 was 47.0% compared to 44.7% for the same period in 2004. We believe that the better pricing as discussed above was the key factor in the increase.
     The primary drivers for the increase in sales of equipment are described above in the “Overview.”

     Operating expenses. Operating expenses were negatively impacted in the first six months of 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004 primarily by:
    a $5.2 million increase in compensation and sales commissions expense related to our increase in revenue and an incentive compensation plan supporting our key initiatives;
 
    a $1.3 million increase in bad debt expense primarily as a result of the increase in sales; and
 
    a $2.5 million increase in various consulting and professional fees primarily for outside services related to our 2004 audit.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue were 19.6% and 20.2% for the first six months of 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     In our statements of cash flows included elsewhere in this report, cash flows from operations do not include purchases of rental equipment and proceeds from the sale of rental equipment, which are included in cash flows from investing activities. When evaluating our cash flow it is important to consider cash flows from the purchase and sale of our rental equipment in conjunction with operating cash flow. Purchasing and selling rental fleet is an integral part of our business and failure to consider cash flows from these activities would not accurately reflect the operating cash needs of our business.
Sources and Uses of Cash
     Our business is highly capital intensive as a result of our significant investment in rental equipment and delivery vehicles. The annual capital expenditures necessary to maintain, replace and grow our fleet are substantial. While we can manage the replacement requirements to a degree, by reducing or increasing the amount of used equipment we sell, the annual cash needs are nonetheless considerable. In addition, while less significant, we must make annual expenditures to maintain and invest in new and improved information systems, and to upgrade and maintain our store locations.

Table of Contents

     From 1998 through 2000, we purchased a substantial amount of rental equipment as we rapidly grew our rental fleet. Our financial difficulties before and during our Chapter 11 reorganization restricted our ability to replace rental fleet assets in 2001, 2002 and early 2003. As a result, when we emerged from our reorganization in 2003, a portion of our rental fleet had not been replaced and maintained on normal cycles. While we have repaired and replaced a portion of this fleet since that time, we have approximately $100.0 million in expected replacement cost of fleet still remaining from those earlier model years. We expect to replace this fleet over the course of the next three to four years.
     In connection with the completion of our reorganization, certain of our current stockholders invested $80.0 million through the purchase of a combination of common stock, preferred stock and convertible subordinated notes. These funds, along with funds obtained from our credit facility, were used to pay the costs of our reorganization, to purchase rental fleet previously financed under leases, and for general working capital purposes. In October 2003, we issued $250.0 million in senior secured notes and used the net proceeds to fund the purchase of new and replacement rental fleet, and to retire then existing other indebtedness. In April 2005, we issued $150.0 million in senior unsecured notes and used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes and to redeem a portion of our outstanding convertible subordinated notes. Detailed descriptions of our Credit Facility, Senior Secured Notes and Senior Unsecured Notes are included in the discussion under “Debt and Other Obligations” which follows.
     Our historical sources of cash have been cash generated from operations, proceeds from the sale of rental equipment, borrowings under credit facilities, and proceeds from the issuance of debt and equity securities.
Cash Flows
     In the first six months of 2004, we generated cash from operations of $55.0 million and cash from the sale of rental equipment and vehicles of $32.6 million. Our capital expenditures in such period were principally for purchases of $85.8 million of new and replacement rental equipment and purchases and improvements of $8.5 million for other property and equipment.
     In the first six months of 2005, we had sufficient cash on hand and cash generated from operations and financing activities to meet our cash needs. We generated cash from operations of $55.0 million and cash from the sale of rental equipment and vehicles of $56.3 million. Our capital expenditures in such period were principally for purchases of $196.5 million of new and replacement rental equipment, purchases and improvements of $11.5 million for other property and equipment, and the acquisition of a business for $6.7 million. Additionally, we purchased $28.9 million of marketable securities during the period. We generated cash from financing activities of $119.8 million primarily the result of proceeds of $144.0 million from the senior unsecured debt issuance, net of issuance costs, which was partially offset by the $23.7 million redemption of convertible notes. As of July 31, 2005, we had no borrowings under our credit facility, and our availability under this facility was $57.3 million, after taking into account $24.4 million of outstanding letters of credit.
Adequacy of Capital Resources
     Our sources of cash over the next twelve months are expected to be cash on hand, cash generated from operations, proceeds from the sale of rental equipment and borrowings under our credit facility.

23


Table of Contents

     Our uses of cash over the next twelve months are expected to be principally for the purchase of new and replacement rental equipment and other non-rental capital expenditures, for working capital needs and for debt service. We are currently planning rental equipment expenditures over the next twelve months, net of proceeds from sales of rental equipment, of between $90.0 million and $115.0 million. We estimate that capital expenditures for non-rental assets over the next twelve months will range between $15.0 million and $25.0 million, primarily for delivery vehicles, information systems and store improvements. Capital expenditures in future years will depend on several factors, including economic conditions and our growth prospects at the time.
     We believe that our existing infrastructure of stores, service bays and personnel is largely sufficient to support our current and near-term operating activities. In addition, while we are presently focused primarily on internal growth, we may explore additional new store openings and strategic acquisitions that are available at favorable prices. If these activities are significant, we may be required to raise additional capital through debt or equity financing.
     In addition, we used $35.1 million of the proceeds from the offering of our Senior Unsecured Notes to redeem $30.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.5% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2008 plus accrued and unpaid interest of $4.3 million, of which, $8.1 million was unpaid as of June 30, 2005.
     We believe we can fund our planned business activities during the next twelve months with a combination of cash on hand, cash generated from operations, proceeds from the sale of rental equipment and funds from our credit facility.
Debt and Other Obligations
     Senior Secured Notes. In October 2003, we completed a private offering of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.5% senior secured notes due 2010 (the “Original Senior Secured Notes”). We pay interest on the notes semi-annually in cash, in arrears, on October 15 and April 15, at an annual interest rate of 9.5%. The notes mature on October 15, 2010. The net proceeds were used to repay amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility (as defined below), equipment-related purchase money obligations, equipment leases, and for other general corporate purposes.
     In April 2004, we filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-114115), as amended, with the SEC with respect to the 9.5% senior secured notes (the “New Notes,” and together with the Original Senior Secured Notes, the “Senior Secured Notes”) that have substantially identical terms as the Original Senior Secured Notes, except that the New Notes are freely transferable. The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC in July 2004 and promptly thereafter, we commenced an exchange offer, pursuant to which holders of the Original Senior Secured Notes were able to exchange Original Senior Secured Notes for the New Notes. The New Notes evidence the same debt as the Original Senior Secured Notes, are entitled to the benefits of the indenture governing the Original Senior Secured Notes and will be treated under the indenture as a single class with the Original Senior Secured Notes. In September 2004, we completed the exchange offer with 100% of the Original Senior Secured Notes being exchanged for New Notes.
     We can redeem all of the Senior Secured Notes on or after October 15, 2007. We may also redeem up to 35% of the notes prior to October 15, 2006 with the net proceeds of an equity offering at 109.5% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest; provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes issued must remain outstanding after such redemption.

Table of Contents

     The Senior Secured Notes were issued by NationsRent Companies, Inc. and are guaranteed by all of our direct and indirect subsidiaries. NationsRent Companies, Inc. has no independent assets or operations, the guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several, and there are no other subsidiaries other than the guarantors. There are no significant restrictions on our ability to obtain funds from our subsidiaries.
     The Senior Secured Notes and the guarantees are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our rental equipment (other than titled vehicles), subject to certain permitted liens and certain other liens. We are required to certify each December and June during the term of the Senior Secured Notes that our collateral value coverage ratio is at least 2.0 to 1.0. At June 30, 2005, we were in compliance with this requirement.
     The indenture governing the notes contains various affirmative and negative covenants, subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions, including, limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness or enter into sale and leaseback transactions; limitations on our ability to repay or prepay subordinated indebtedness; certain restrictions on dividends, stock redemptions and other distributions; restrictions on making certain investments or acquisitions; restrictions on our ability to grant liens on assets, enter into transactions with stockholders and affiliates, merge, consolidate or transfer assets. The indenture also contains various customary events of default.
     On April 14, 2005, we launched a consent solicitation seeking the consent of the holders of the Senior Secured Notes to amend the indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes to allow us to redeem all of our outstanding 6.5% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2008. On April 20, 2005, we received the requisite number of consents and on April 26, 2005 entered into a supplemental indenture to effect the amendment. In June 2005, we redeemed our convertible subordinated notes using a portion of the proceeds of our offering of Senior Unsecured Notes. See—“Senior Unsecured Notes.”
     Credit Facility. In June, 2003, we entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with an aggregate commitment of up to $150.0 million with a syndicate of lenders. The Credit Facility was used to provide the exit financing for the Company pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, to pay transaction expenses incurred in connection therewith and to refinance the Company’s then existing indebtedness. In October 2003, we amended and restated the Credit Facility to reduce the aggregate commitments to up to $75.0 million (including a $30.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit) and repaid all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility with the proceeds of the offering of the Senior Secured Notes. In December 2004, we entered into a second amendment to the Credit Facility to amend certain items including extending the maturity date. In April 2005, we amended and restated the Credit Facility (the “Amended and Restated Credit Facility”) to, among other things, increase the availability from $75.0 million up to $100.0 million (including a $40.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit) and extend the maturity of the facility to April 2010.
     Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, availability is subject to a borrowing base test based upon eligible trade accounts receivable, titled vehicles and real estate. Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility bear interest at floating rates equivalent to either a base rate, as defined therein, plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.00% or the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.50%; provided, however, that until June 30, 2005, the applicable margin shall be no less than 0.50% for the base rate loans and 2.50% for the LIBOR loans. Letters of credit fees range from 1.50% to 2.50%. There is an unused commitment fee ranging from 0.375% to 0.50% and a letter of credit fronting fee of 0.125%. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility is secured by a first lien on our assets, except for our rental equipment and inventory. The

facility is also secured by a pledge of the capital stock of our subsidiaries. We may also grant to the lenders under such facility certain mortgages and other security interests on certain of our real property.
     The Amended and Restated Credit Facility is available to (i) refinance existing indebtedness, (ii) finance our ongoing capital expenditures and working capital needs, (iii) issue standby letters of credit and (iv) finance our other general corporate purposes. The facility contains various affirmative and negative covenants customary for similar working capital facilities. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility also contains certain customary events of default. In addition, we must maintain a debt to cash flow ratio, as defined, of not greater than 3.00 to 1.00 for the trailing 12-month period for each fiscal quarter. At June 30, 2005, we were in compliance with this requirement.
     Senior Unsecured Notes. On April 26, 2005, we completed a private offering of $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9.5% senior unsecured notes due 2015 (the “Original Senior Unsecured Notes”). We will pay interest on the notes semi-annually in cash, in arrears, on May 1 and November 1, beginning on November 1, 2005, at an annual rate of interest of 9.5%. The Senior Unsecured Notes will mature on May 1, 2015. We used a portion of proceeds from the offering to redeem our outstanding 6.5% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2008 that had not been converted and we will use the remaining net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes
     In June 2005, we filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-125519) with the SEC with respect to the 9.5% senior unsecured notes (the “New Unsecured Notes,” and together with the Original Senior Unsecured Notes, the “Senior Unsecured Notes”) that have substantially identical terms as the Original Senior Unsecured Notes, except that the New Unsecured Notes are freely transferable. The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on June 17, 2005 and promptly thereafter, we commenced an exchange offer, pursuant to which holders of the Original Senior Unsecured Notes were able to exchange Original Senior Unsecured Notes for the New Unsecured Notes. The New Unsecured Notes evidence the same debt as the Original Senior Unsecured Notes, are entitled to the benefits of the indenture governing the Original Senior Unsecured Notes and are treated under the indenture as a single class with the Original Senior Unsecured Notes. In July 2005, the Company completed the exchange offer with 100% of the Original Senior Unsecured Notes being exchanged for new Unsecured Notes.
     We may redeem all of the Senior Unsecured Notes on or after May 1, 2010. We may also redeem up to 35% of the Senior Unsecured Notes prior to May 1, 2009 with the net proceeds of an equity offering at 109.5% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest; provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes issued must remain outstanding after such redemption.
     The Senior Unsecured Notes were issued by NationsRent Companies, Inc. and are guaranteed by all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries. NationsRent Companies, Inc. has no independent assets or operations, the guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several, and there are no other subsidiaries other than the guarantors. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of NationsRent Companies, Inc. to obtain funds from its subsidiaries.
     The indenture governing the Senior Unsecured Notes contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants, subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions, including, limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness or enter into sale and leaseback transactions; limitations on our ability to repay or prepay subordinated indebtedness; certain restrictions on dividends, stock redemptions and other distributions; restrictions on making certain investments or acquisitions; restrictions on our ability to grant liens on assets, enter into transactions with stockholders and affiliates, merge, consolidate or transfer assets. The indenture also contains various customary events of default.

Table of Contents

     We used $35.1 million of the proceeds from the offering of the Senior Unsecured Notes to redeem $30.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.5% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2008 plus accrued and unpaid interest of $4.3 million, of which, $8.1 million was unpaid as of June 30, 2005. Upon redemption of such notes, we wrote off the remaining balance of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the issuance of such notes, which was $320,000 at June 30, 2005. Prior to the effective time of the redemption, holders of notes representing approximately $14.4 million of aggregate principal amount elected to convert the principal amount of their notes together with approximately $2.0 million of accrued and unpaid interest into 59,503 shares of our common stock. Upon conversion of such notes, approximately $151,000 of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the issuance of such notes is reflected as a reduction in additional paid in capital at June 30, 2005.
Seasonality and Fluctuations in Operating Results
     Our revenue and income are dependent upon activity in the construction industry which is dependent upon weather and other seasonal factors affecting construction in the geographic areas where we have operations. Because of this variability in demand, our revenue and income fluctuates. Accordingly, quarterly or other interim results should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for any other quarter or for a full year.
     Operating results may fluctuate due to other factors including, but not limited to:
    changes in general economic conditions including changes in national, regional or local construction or industrial activities;
 
    the timing of expenditures for new rental equipment and the disposition of used equipment;
 
    competitive pricing pressures; and
 
    changes in interest rates.
     When we purchase new rental equipment, the depreciation related to such equipment may contribute to near-term margin decline because such equipment may not initially generate revenue at a rate that is sufficient to match such increased depreciation expense. As such, the purchase of rental equipment may reduce our operating margins during a start-up period.
Inflation
     We do not believe that inflation has been a significant factor to the cost of our operations other than the increase in steel prices discussed above in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Overview” (Item 7).
Factors That May Affect Future Results
     From time to time we make statements concerning our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance and underlying assumptions and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning our expectations, plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenue or performance, capital expenditures, financing needs, plans or intentions relating to acquisitions, business trends and other

27


Table of Contents

information that is not historical information and, in particular, appear under the headings “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” The words “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “believe,” “goal,” “forecast” and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, management’s examination of historical operating trends, are based upon our current expectations and various assumptions. Our expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that our expectations, beliefs and projections will result or be achieved.
     There may be factors not presently known to us or which we currently consider to be immaterial that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Some of the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements are described below and elsewhere in this report as well as in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and other filings with the SEC, and include, among others:
    Since emerging from bankruptcy, we have not yet achieved positive operating income on an annual basis. Future operating losses may decrease our cash flow which would limit our ability to reinvest in our business, primarily for the purchase of new rental equipment, and may cause us not to have enough funds to satisfy our debt obligations.
 
    Our substantial level of indebtedness could materially adversely affect our ability to execute our business strategy.
 
    Disruptions in our information technology systems could limit our ability to effectively monitor and control our operations.
 
    Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls and procedures could adversely impact our business and operating results.
 
    As we dispose of our rental fleet in the ordinary course of business, we may not realize as much cash as we anticipate which could negatively impact our cash flow. As we operate a capital-intensive business, reductions in operating cash flow could severely impact our ability to purchase new rental fleet, which in turn could put us at a competitive disadvantage in the marketplace.
 
    Contraction in the private non-residential construction industry may weaken demand and pricing for our equipment.
 
    Implementing our new business strategy may cause significant disruptions, which could cause customer dissatisfaction and affect our cash flows and profitability.
 
    Because all of our existing leases for our NationsRent at Lowe’s locations expire on the same date in October 2008, if we are not able to renew these leases we may be forced to close or relocate up to 100 locations at or around the same time.
 
    Competitors with greater financial resources may have a competitive advantage over us by being able to sustain reduced rental rates for longer periods of time and being able to offer a broader range and volume of rental equipment. If they employ such strategies, our cash flows and profitability may be reduced.

28


Table of Contents

    Although we are actively negotiating to establish dealership and distributor relationships with equipment manufactures to diversify our revenue base, our strategy may not succeed as quickly as anticipated, or at all.
 
    We have made, and will likely continue to make, strategic acquisitions. If we are not successful in operating or integrating these newly acquired businesses in an effective and timely manner, our ability to take advantage of further growth opportunities and our revenue and gross margins could be adversely affected.
 
    Costs associated with compliance with, and changes in, environmental laws and regulations could subject us to increased liabilities and expenses.
 
    Potential and certain existing claims against the Company may not be covered by our insurance. Additionally, we may not be able to renew our coverage on terms favorable to us that could lead to increased costs in the event of future claims.
 
    Our adoption of fresh-start reporting and related accounting rules may limit your ability to accurately compare our financial results.
     All forward-looking statements and projections attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf apply only as of the date of the particular statement, and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this report and our other filings with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements, including any of the projections presented herein, to reflect events or circumstances after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
     The inherent risk in market risk sensitive instruments and positions primarily relates to potential losses arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Our exposure to market risk is limited primarily to the fluctuating interest rates associated with our Amended Credit Facility. Our variable interest rates are subject to interest rate changes in the United States and the Eurodollar market. At June 30, 2005, we did not have any variable rate debt outstanding.
Item 4: Controls and Procedures
     Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation and notwithstanding the items described below, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed in this report has been made known to them in a timely fashion.
     In 2004, as part of our review of our internal controls over financial reporting, we determined that we had certain significant deficiencies, which when assessed in the aggregate, constituted a material weakness in controls relating to our financial statement closing process. To correct the errors related to these significant deficiencies, we restated certain of our financial statements in March 2005. In addition, during the audit of our 2004 financial statements, we determined that we had a material weakness regarding our failure to properly assess the impact of not consistently obtaining a written customer acknowledgement of the terms of certain rental and sales transactions on open account. We have taken and are continuing to take remedial measures to strengthen our internal controls and to address such deficiencies and weaknesses.

29


Table of Contents

     We continue to document and test our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. During the course of our testing, we may identify deficiencies which we may not be able to remediate prior to the reporting deadline imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In addition, if we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and therefore, we may report additional material weaknesses in internal controls in the future.
     We believe that our efforts are addressing the material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in internal controls over financial reporting. However, for the reasons stated above, we cannot give any assurances that all material weaknesses and significant deficiencies have been entirely corrected or that internal control weaknesses will not be identified from time to time in the future. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports. If we cannot produce reliable financial reports, our ability to effectively manage our business and raise capital and the market value of our outstanding securities may be impaired.
