PART II

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

    The data presented below with respect to the Company should be read in
conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes
thereto of the Company included elsewhere in this Report and Item
7--"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."

    During the periods presented below, the Company completed certain
acquisitions that were accounted for as poolings-of-interests (including a
merger in September 1998 with U.S. Rentals) and others that were accounted for
as purchases. The selected financial data presented below has been restated for
all periods presented to include the accounts of the businesses acquired in
transactions accounted for as poolings-of-interests (excluding one such
transaction which was not material) as if the Company and these businesses
acquired were combined for all periods presented. The accounts of businesses
acquired in transactions accounted for as purchases are included from their
respective acquisition dates. In view of the fact that the Company's operating
results for the periods presented below were impacted by acquisitions that were
accounted for as purchases, the Company believes that its results of operations
for the years presented are not directly comparable. See Note 3 of the Notes to
the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company included elsewhere in this
Report.

    Our previously outstanding Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock
and Series B Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock were exchanged for Series C
Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock and Series D Perpetual Convertible
Preferred Stock, respectively. This exchange was effected subsequent to June
30, 2001. The balance sheet data under the heading "Pro Forma" adjusts the
historical balance sheet data to give effect to the exchange, as if it had
occurred on December 31, 2000. For additional information concerning the
exchange, see note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements of our
company included herein.

                                      2



--------
(1)The Company recorded an extraordinary item (net of income taxes) of $1.5
   million in 1997 and an extraordinary item (net of income taxes) of $21.3
   million in 1998. Such charge in 1997 resulted from the prepayment of certain
   debt by U.S. Rentals. Such charge in 1998 resulted from the early
   extinguishment of certain debt and primarily reflected prepayment penalties
   on certain debt of U.S. Rentals.
(2)U.S. Rentals was taxed as a Subchapter S Corporation until its initial
   public offering in February 1997, and another company acquired in a
   pooling-of-interests transaction was taxed as a Subchapter S Corporation
   until being acquired by the Company in 1998. In general, the income or loss
   of a Subchapter S Corporation is passed through to its owners rather than
   being subjected to taxes at the entity level. Pro forma provision for income
   taxes before extraordinary items and pro forma income before extraordinary
   items reflect a provision for income taxes as if all such companies were
   liable for federal and state income taxes as taxable corporate entities for
   all periods presented.
(3)The Company's earnings during 1997 were impacted by $20.3 million of
   expenses relating to the termination of certain deferred compensation
   expenses in connection with U.S. Rentals' initial public offering, a $7.5
   million charge to recognize deferred tax liabilities of U.S. Rentals and an
   extraordinary item (net of income taxes) of $1.5 million. The Company's
   earnings during 1998 were impacted by merger-related expenses of $47.2
   million ($33.2 million net of taxes), a $4.8 million charge to recognize
   deferred tax liabilities of a company acquired in a pooling-of-interests
   transaction and an extraordinary item (net of income taxes) of $21.3
   million. The Company's earnings during 1999 were impacted by $18.2 million
   ($10.8 million net of taxes) of expenses incurred related to a terminated
   tender offer. Excluding such amounts, (i) basic earnings per share for the
   years ended 1997, 1998 and 1999 would have been $0.70, $1.10 and $2.15,
   respectively, and (ii) diluted earnings per share for the years ended 1997,
   1998 and 1999 would have been $0.66, $1.00 and $1.65, respectively.
(4)EBITDA is defined as net income (excluding (i) non-operating income and
   expense, (ii) a $20.3 million non-recurring charge incurred by U.S. Rentals
   in 1997 arising from the termination of deferred compensation agreements
   with certain executives, (iii) $47.2 million in merger-related expenses in
   1998 related to the three acquisitions accounted for as
   poolings-of-interests, including the merger with U.S. Rentals, and (iv) $8.3
   million of expenses that are included in selling, general and administrative
   expenses for 1999 and which related to a terminated tender offer), plus
   interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA
   data is presented to provide additional information concerning the Company's
   ability to meet its future debt service obligations and capital expenditure
   and working capital requirements. However, EBITDA is not a measure of
   financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles.
   Accordingly, EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income or
   cash flows as indicators of the Company's operating performance or
   liquidity.
(5)We issued series A and B perpetual convertible preferred stock in 1999 and
   included such preferred in stockholders' equity. In July 2001, the SEC
   issued guidance to all public companies as to when redeemable preferred
   stock may be classified as stockholders' equity. Under this guidance, the
   series A and B preferred would not be included in stockholders' equity
   because this stock would be subject to mandatory redemption on a hostile
   change of control. On September 28, 2001, we entered into an agreement
   effecting the exchange of new series C and D perpetual convertible preferred
   for the series A and B preferred. The series C and D preferred stock is not
   subject to mandatory redemption on a hostile change of control, and will be
   included in stockholders' equity under the recent SEC guidance. The effect
   of the foregoing is that our perpetual convertible preferred stock is
   included in stockholders' equity as of September 28, 2001 and thereafter,
   but is outside of stockholders' equity for earlier dates. In all other
   respects, the financial statements remain unchanged, including total assets
   and liabilities, revenues, operating income, net income and earnings per
   share.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Board of Directors
United Rentals, Inc.

    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of United
Rentals, Inc. as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the management of United Rentals, Inc. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of United Rentals, Inc. at December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the consolidated
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

    United Rentals, Inc. is principally a holding company ("Holdings") and
conducts its operations primarily through its wholly owned subsidiary United
Rentals (North America), Inc. ("URI") and subsidiaries of URI. Holdings was
incorporated in July 1998 and became the parent of URI on August 5, 1998,
pursuant to the reorganization of the legal structure of URI described in Note
9. Prior to such reorganization, the name of URI was United Rentals, Inc.
References herein to the "Company" refer to Holdings and its subsidiaries, with
respect to periods following the reorganization, and to URI and its
subsidiaries, with respect to periods prior to the reorganization. As a result
of the reorganization, Holdings' primary asset is its sole ownership of all
issued and outstanding shares of common stock of URI. URI's various credit
agreements and debt instruments place restrictions on its ability to transfer
funds to its shareholder.

    The Company rents a broad array of equipment to a diverse customer base
that includes construction industry participants, industrial companies,
homeowners and others in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The Company also
engages in related activities such as selling rental equipment, acting as a
distributor for certain new equipment and selling related merchandise and
parts. The nature of the Company's business is such that short-term obligations
are typically met by cash flow generated from long-term assets. Therefore, the
accompanying balance sheets are presented on an unclassified basis.

    The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, giving retroactive effect for
the reorganization for all periods presented. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998 include the accounts
of certain acquisitions completed in 1998 that were accounted for as
poolings-of-interests, as described in Note 3.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cash Equivalents

    The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Inventory

    Inventory consists of equipment, tools, parts, fuel and related supply
items. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market and is net of a
reserve for obsolescence and shrinkage of $15.5 million and $16.8 million at
December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Cost is determined on either a
weighted average or first-in, first-out method.

Rental Equipment

    Rental equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated
useful lives of the equipment using the straight-line method. The range of
estimated useful lives for rental equipment is two to ten years. Rental
equipment is depreciated to a salvage value of zero to ten percent of cost.
Ordinary repair and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred.

                                      11



                             UNITED RENTALS, INC.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)


Property and Equipment

    Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their
estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The range of estimated
useful lives for property and equipment is two to thirty-nine years. Ordinary
repair and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred. Leasehold
improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated
useful lives or the remaining life of the lease, whichever is shorter.

Intangible Assets

    Intangible assets consist of the excess of cost over the fair value of
identifiable net assets of businesses acquired and non-compete agreements. The
non-compete agreements are being amortized on a straight-line basis for a
period ranging from three to eight years. The remaining intangible assets are
being amortized on a straight-line basis over forty years.

Long-Lived Assets

    Long-lived assets are recorded at the lower of amortized cost or fair
value. As part of an ongoing review of the valuation of long-lived assets, the
Company assesses the carrying value of such assets if facts and circumstances
suggest they may be impaired. If this review indicates that the carrying value
of these assets may not be recoverable, as determined by a nondiscounted cash
flow analysis over the remaining useful life, the carrying value would be
reduced to its estimated fair value. There have been no material impairments
recognized in these financial statements.

Derivative Financial Instruments

    Derivative financial instruments, which are periodically used by the
Company in the management of its interest rate and foreign currency exposures,
are accounted for on an accrual basis. Income and expense are recorded in the
same category as that arising from the related asset or liability. The fair
value of these agreements are not recognized in the financial statements.
Derivative financial instruments are not used for trading purposes.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

    The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for accounts
receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities
approximate fair value due to the immediate to short-term maturity of these
financial instruments. The fair values of the Credit Facility, Term Loan B,
Term Loan C, Term Loan D, receivables securitization and certain other debt are
determined using current interest rates for similar instruments as of December
31, 2000 and 1999 and approximate the carrying value of these financial
instruments due to the fact that the underlying instruments include provisions
to adjust interest rates to approximate fair market value. The estimated fair
value of the Company's other financial instruments at December 31, 2000 and
1999 are based upon available market information and are as follows:

Preferred Stock

    The Company issued Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series
A Preferred") and Series B Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series B
Preferred") in 1999 and included such preferred in stockholders' equity. In
July 2001, the SEC issued guidance to all public companies as to when
redeemable preferred stock may be classified as stockholders' equity. This
guidance indicates that preferred stock that would be subject to redemption on
the occurrence of an event outside the control of the issuer may not be
classified as equity and that the probability of the event occurring is not a
factor to be considered. Under this guidance, the Series A Preferred and Series
B Preferred would not be included in stockholders' equity because this stock
would be subject to mandatory redemption on a hostile change of control. On
September 28, 2001, the Company entered into an agreement effecting the
exchange of new Series C Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series C
Preferred") for the Series A Preferred and new Series D Perpetual Convertible
Preferred Stock ("Series D Preferred") for the Series B Preferred (see note
17). The Series C Preferred and Series D Preferred stock is not subject to
mandatory redemption on a hostile change of control, and will be classified as
stockholders' equity under the recently issued SEC guidance.

    The effect of the foregoing is that the Company's perpetual convertible
preferred stock will be classified as stockholders' equity as of September 28,
2001 and thereafter, but will be classified outside of stockholders' equity for
earlier dates. Accordingly, the Company has restated the accompanying balance
sheets to show its $430.8 million of perpetual convertible preferred stock
under "Series A and B Preferred Stock" rather than under "Stockholders'
Equity." The Company has also made a corresponding change to the related
Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity. In all other respects, the
financial statements remain unchanged, including total assets and liabilities,
revenues, operating income, net income and earnings per share. The Company's
balance sheets for dates after September 28, 2001, will include the perpetual
convertible preferred stock in stockholders' equity.

    The pro forma amounts on the accompanying balance sheet gives effect to the
above-referenced exchange, as if it had occurred on December 31, 2000.

Revenue Recognition

    Revenue related to the sale of equipment and merchandise is recognized at
the time of delivery to, or pick-up by, the customer. Revenue related to rental
equipment is recognized over the contract term.

Advertising Expense

    The Company advertises primarily through trade publications and yellow
pages. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $23.8 million,
$19.0 million and $13.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and
1998, respectively.

Income Taxes

    The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under
this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the
differences between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities
and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be
in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Recognition of deferred
tax assets is limited to amounts considered by management to be more likely
than not realized in future periods.

Use of Estimates

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

    Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash investments and
accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with high
quality financial institutions.

    Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are
limited because a large number of geographically diverse customers make up the
Company's customer base. No single customer represents greater than 10% of
total accounts receivable. The Company controls credit risk through credit
approvals, credit limits, and monitoring procedures.

Stock-Based Compensation

    The Company accounts for its stock based compensation arrangements under
the provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". Since stock options are granted by
the Company with exercise prices at or greater than the fair value of the
shares at the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

Insurance

    The Company is insured for general liability, workers' compensation, and
group medical claims up to a specified claim and aggregate amounts (subject to
a deductible of one million dollars). Insured losses subject to this deductible
are accrued based upon the aggregate liability for reported claims incurred and
an estimated liability for claims incurred but not reported. These liabilities
are not discounted.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

    In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB'') issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS'') No. 137, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities--Deferral of the Effective Date
of FASB Statement No. 133". This standard delays the effective date of SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", for one
year, to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 establishes a
new model for accounting for derivatives and hedging activities. The adoption
of SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001 is not expected to have a material effect on
the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

    In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain
Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities". This standard amends
SFAS No. 133 and addresses a limited number of issues causing implementation
difficulties. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 138 on January 1, 2001 and it is
not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial
position or results of operations.

    In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers
and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities--a
replacement of FASB Statement No. 125". This standard revises the standards for
accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and
collateral and requires certain disclosures. This standard is effective for
transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities
occurring after March 31, 2001 and for disclosures relating to securitization
transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000.
The adoption of SFAS No. 140 is not expected to have a material effect on the
Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

3. Acquisitions

Acquisitions Accounted for as Poolings-of-Interests

    On August 24, 1998, the Company issued 2,744,368 shares of its common stock
for all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Rental Tools.

    On September 24, 1998, the Company issued 1,456,997 shares of its common
stock for all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Wynne Systems, Inc.
This transaction was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests; however, this
transaction was not material to the Company's consolidated operations and
financial position and, therefore, the Company's financial statements have not
been restated for this transaction but have been combined beginning July 1,
1998.

    On September 29, 1998, a merger (the "Merger") of United Rentals, Inc. and
U.S. Rentals was completed. The Merger was effected by having a wholly owned
subsidiary of United Rentals, Inc. merge with and into U.S. Rentals. Following
the Merger, United Rentals, Inc. contributed the capital stock of U.S. Rentals
to URI, a wholly owned subsidiary of United Rentals, Inc. Pursuant to the
Merger, each outstanding share of common stock of U.S. Rentals was converted
into the right to receive 0.9625 of a share of common stock of United Rentals,
Inc. An aggregate of approximately 29.6 million shares of United Rentals, Inc.
common stock were issued in the Merger in exchange for the outstanding shares
of U.S. Rentals common stock.

    The table below shows the separate revenue and net income (loss) of the
Company prior to the above mergers ("United"), U.S. Rentals and Rental Tools
for periods prior to combination:

purchases was approximately $275.4 million and consisted of $270.4 million in
cash and $5.0 million in seller notes. In addition, the Company repaid or
assumed outstanding indebtedness of these companies acquired in the aggregate
amount of approximately $99.8 million.

    The aggregate initial consideration paid by the Company for other 1999
acquisitions accounted for as purchases was $663.6 million and consisted of
approximately $659.2 million in cash and $4.4 million in seller notes. In
addition, the Company repaid or assumed outstanding indebtedness of the
companies acquired in the other 1999 acquisitions in the aggregate amount of
approximately $239.3 million.

    In January 1998 the Company purchased the outstanding stock and certain
assets of (i) Access Rentals, Inc. and Affiliate, (ii) the BNR Group of
Companies and (iii) Mission Valley Rentals, Inc. The aggregate initial
consideration paid by the Company for these three acquisitions that were
accounted for as purchases was $88.7 million and consisted of approximately
$81.4 million in cash and 370,231 shares of common stock and warrants to
purchase an aggregate of 30,000 shares of the Company's common stock. In
addition, the Company repaid or assumed outstanding indebtedness of these three
companies acquired in the aggregate amount of $64.0 million.

    Also during 1998, the Company purchased the outstanding stock and certain
assets of (i) Power Rental Co., Inc., in June (ii) Equipment Supply Co., Inc.
and Affiliates in June and (iii) McClinch Inc. and Subsidiaries and McClinch

common stock, and seller notes of $10.5 million. In addition, the Company
repaid or assumed outstanding indebtedness of the other companies acquired in
1998 in the aggregate amount of $211.8 million.

    The purchase prices for all acquisitions accounted for as purchases have
been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their
respective fair values at their respective acquisition dates. However, the
Company has not completed its valuation of all of its purchases and,
accordingly, the purchase price allocations are subject to change when
additional information concerning asset and liability valuations are completed.
The preliminary purchase price allocations that are subject to change primarily
consists of rental and non-rental equipment valuations. These allocations are
finalized within 12 months of the acquisition date and are not expected to
result in significant differences between the preliminary and final
allocations.

    Credit Facility. The Company has a credit facility (the "Credit Facility")
which enables URI to borrow up to $827.5 million on a revolving basis and
permits a Canadian subsidiary of URI (the "Canadian Subsidiary") to directly
borrow up to $40.0 million under the Credit Facility (provided that the
aggregate borrowings of URI and the Canadian Subsidiary do not exceed $827.5
million). Up to $50.0 million ($1.4 million outstanding at December 31, 2000)
of the Credit Facility is available in the form of letters of credit. The
agreement governing the Credit Facility requires that the aggregate commitment
shall be reduced on the last day of each calendar quarter, beginning September
30, 2001 and continuing through June 30, 2003, by an amount equal to $20.7
million. The Credit Facility terminates on September 26, 2003, at which time
all outstanding indebtedness is due.

    Borrowings by URI under the Credit Facility accrue interest at URI's
option, at either (a) the Base Rate (which is equal to the greater of (i) the
Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% or (ii) Bank of America's reference rate) or (b)
the Eurodollar Rate (which for borrowings by URI is equal to Bank of America's
reserve adjusted eurodollar rate) plus a margin ranging from 1.200% to 1.875%
per annum. Borrowings by the Canadian Subsidiary under the Credit Facility
accrue interest, at such subsidiary's option, at either (x) the Prime Rate
(which is equal to Bank of America Canada's prime rate), (y) the BA Rate (which
is equal to Bank of America Canada's BA Rate) plus a margin ranging from 1.200%
to 1.875% per annum or (z) the Eurodollar Rate (which for borrowing by the
Canadian Subsidiary is equal to Bank of America Canada's reserve adjusted
Eurodollar Rate) plus a margin ranging from 1.200% to 1.875% per annum. If at
any time an event of default (as defined in the agreement governing the Credit

Facility) exists, the interest rate applicable to each loan will increase by 2%
per annum. The Company is also required to pay the banks an annual facility fee
equal to 0.375% of the banks' $827.5 million aggregate lending commitment under
the Credit Facility (which fee may be reduced to 0.300% for periods during
which the Company maintains a specified funded debt to cash flow ratio).

    The obligations of URI under the Credit Facility are (i) secured by
substantially all of its assets, the stock of its United States subsidiaries
and a portion of the stock of URI's Canadian subsidiaries and (ii) guaranteed
by Holdings and secured by the stock of URI. The obligations of the Canadian
Subsidiary under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by URI and secured by
substantially all of the assets of the Canadian Subsidiary and the stock of the
subsidiaries of the Canadian Subsidiary.

    The Credit Facility contains certain covenants that require the Company to,
among other things, satisfy certain financial tests relating to: (a) maximum
leverage, (b) the ratio of senior debt to cash flow, (c) minimum interest
coverage ratio, (d) the ratio of funded debt to cash flow, and (e) the ratio of
senior debt to tangible assets. The agreements governing the Credit Facility
also contain various other covenants that restrict the Company's ability to,
among other things, (i) incur additional indebtedness, (ii) permit liens to
attach to its assets, (iii) pay dividends or make other restricted payments on
its common stock and certain other securities and (iv) make acquisitions unless
certain financial conditions are satisfied. In addition, the agreement
governing the Credit Facility (a) requires the Company to maintain certain
financial ratios and (b) provides that failure by any two of certain of the
Company's executive officers to continue to hold executive positions with the
Company for a period of 30 consecutive days constitutes an event of default
unless replacement officers satisfactory to the lenders are appointed.

    Term Loan B. URI obtained a $250.0 million term loan (the "Term Loan B")
from a group of financial institutions. The Term Loan B matures on June 30,
2005. Prior to maturity, quarterly installments of principal in the amount of
$0.6 million are due on the last day of each calendar quarter, commencing
September 30, 1999. The amount due at maturity is $235.6 million. The Term Loan
B accrues interest, at URI's option, at either (a) the Base Rate (as defined
above with respect to the Credit Facility) plus a margin of 0.375% per annum,
or (b) the Eurodollar Rate (as defined above with respect to the Credit
Facility for borrowings by the Company) plus a margin of 2.25% per annum. The
Term Loan B is secured pari passu with the Credit Facility and the agreement
governing the Term Loan B contains restrictive covenants substantially similar
to those provided under the Credit Facility.

    Term Loan C. URI obtained a $750.0 million term loan from a group of
financial institutions (the "Term Loan C"). The Term Loan C matures in June
2006. Prior to maturity, quarterly installments of principal in the amount of
$1.9 million are due on the last day of each calendar quarter, commencing
September 30, 2000. The amount due at maturity is $706.3 million. The Term Loan
C accrues interest, at URI's option, at either (a) the Base Rate (as defined
above with respect to the Credit Facility) plus a margin of 0.625% per annum,
or (b) the Eurodollar Rate (as defined above with respect to the Credit
Facility) plus a margin of 2.50% per annum. The Term Loan C is secured pari
passu with the Credit Facility and the agreement governing the Term Loan C
contains restrictive covenants substantially similar to those provided under
the Credit Facility.

    Term Loan D. URI obtained a $200.0 million term loan from a financial
institution (the "Term Loan D"). The Term Loan D matures in June 2006. Prior to
maturity, quarterly installments of principal are due on the last day of each
calendar quarter, in the amount of $0.25 million on September 30, 2000 and in
the amount of $0.5 million commencing December 31, 2000 to maturity. The amount
due at maturity is $188.5 million. The Term Loan D accrues interest, at URI's
option, at either (a) the Base Rate (as defined above with respect to the
Credit Facility) plus a margin of 0.625% per annum, or (b) the Eurodollar Rate
(as defined above with respect to the Credit Facility) plus a margin of 2.5%

agreement governing the Term Loan D contains restrictive covenants
substantially similar to those provided under the Credit Facility.

    At December 31, 2000, the Company had interest rate protection in the form
of swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $200.0 million. The
effect of these agreements is to limit the interest rate exposure to 8.75% on
$200.0 million of Term Loan B. The overall weighted average interest rate on
the Term Loan B was 8.80% at December 31, 2000. While it is not the Company's
intention to terminate the interest rate swap agreements, the fair values were
estimated by obtaining quotes from brokers which represented the amounts that
the Company would receive or pay if the agreements were terminated. These fair
values indicated that termination of the agreements at December 31, 2000, would
have resulted in a pretax loss of $4.3 million.

    9 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes. URI issued $200.0 million aggregate
principal amount of 9 1/2% senior subordinated notes, (the "9 1/2 Notes") which
are due June 1, 2008. The 9 1/2% Notes are unsecured. URI may, at its option,
redeem the 9 1/2% Notes on or after June 1, 2003 at specified redemption prices
which range from 104.75% in 2003 to 100.0% in 2006 and thereafter. In addition,
on or prior to June 1, 2001, URI may, at its option, use the proceeds of a
public equity offering to redeem up to 35% of the outstanding 9 1/2% Notes, at
a redemption price of 109.5%. The indenture governing the 9 1/2% Notes contains
certain restrictive covenants, including (i) limitations on additional
indebtedness, (ii) limitations on restricted payments, (iii) limitations on
liens, (iv) limitations on dividends and other payment restrictions, (v)
limitations on preferred stock of certain subsidiaries, (vi) limitations on
transactions with affiliates, (vii) limitations on the disposition of proceeds
of asset sales and (viii) limitations on the ability of the Company to
consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets.

    8.80% Senior Subordinated Notes. URI issued $205.0 million aggregate
principal amount of 8.80% senior subordinated notes, (the "8.80% Notes") which
are due August 15, 2008. The 8.80% Notes are unsecured. URI may, at its option,
redeem the 8.80% Notes on or after August 15, 2003 at specified redemption
prices which range from 104.4% in 2003 to 100.0% in 2006 and thereafter. In
addition, on or prior to August 15, 2001, URI may, at its option, use the
proceeds of a public equity offering to redeem up to 35% of the outstanding
8.80% Notes, at a redemption price of 108.8%. The indenture governing the 8.80%
Notes contains restrictions substantially similar to those applicable to the 9
1/2% Notes.

    9 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes. URI issued $300.0 million aggregate
principal amount of 9 1/4% senior subordinated notes, (the "9 1/4% Notes")
which are due January 15, 2009. The 9 1/4% Notes are unsecured. URI may, at its
option, redeem the 9 1/4% Notes on or after January 15, 2004 at specified
redemption prices which range from 104.625% in 2004 to 100.0% in 2007 and
thereafter. In addition, on or prior to January 15, 2002, URI may, at its
option, use the proceeds of a public equity offering to redeem up to 35% of the
outstanding 9 1/4% Notes, at a redemption price of 109.25%. The indenture
governing the 9 1/4% Notes contains restrictions substantially similar to those
applicable to the 9 1/2% Notes.

    9% Senior Subordinated Notes. URI issued $250.0 million aggregate principal
amount of 9% senior subordinated notes, (the "9% Notes") which are due April 1,
2009. The 9% Notes are unsecured. URI may, at its option, redeem the 9% Notes
on or after April 1, 2004 at specified redemption prices which range from
104.5% in 2004 to 100.0% in 2007 and thereafter. In addition, on or prior to
April 1, 2002, URI may, at its option, use the proceeds of a public equity
offering to redeem up to 35% of the outstanding 9% Notes, at a redemption price
of 109.0%. The indenture governing the 9% Notes contains restrictions
substantially similar to those applicable to the 9 1/2% Notes.

    Receivables Securitization. In December 2000, the Company obtained $100.0
million through the securitization of certain of its accounts receivable. In
the securitization, the Company transferred $203.0 million of its accounts
receivable to a special purpose subsidiary (the "SPV") which in turn pledged
those receivables to secure $100.0 million of borrowings that the SPV incurred
to finance its acquisition of those receivables from the Company. These
borrowings accrue interest at Credit Lyonnais' blended commercial paper rate
plus a margin of 0.75% per annum. These borrowings are an obligation of the SPV
and not of Holdings or URI, and the lenders' recourse in respect of the
borrowings is generally limited to collections that the SPV receives on the
receivables. Collections on the receivables are used to service the borrowings.
Subject to certain conditions, collections from the receivables may also be
used by the SPV from time to time until December 2003 to acquire additional
accounts receivables from the Company that the SPV will pledge to the lenders
to secure the borrowings.

    Maturities of the Company's debt for each of the next five years at
December 31, 2000 are as follows (In thousands):

    The current and deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2000
include the effects of certain reclassifications related to differences between
the income tax provisions and tax returns for prior years. These
reclassifications had no effect on net income.

    For financial reporting purposes, income before income taxes and
extraordinary items for the Company's foreign subsidiaries was $15.6 million
and $19.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
At December 31, 2000 and 1999, unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries were
approximately $22.9 million and $13.8 million, respectively. Since it is the
Company's intention to indefinitely reinvest these earnings, no United States
taxes have been provided. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred
tax liability on these unremitted taxes is not practicable.

    The Company has net operating loss carryforwards ("NOL's") of $138.2
million for federal income tax purposes that expire through 2018.

9. Holding Company Reorganization

    URI was formerly named United Rentals, Inc. On August 5, 1998, a
reorganization was effected pursuant to which (i) URI became a wholly owned
subsidiary of Holdings, a newly formed holding company, (ii) the name of URI
was changed from United Rentals, Inc. to United Rentals (North America), Inc.,
(iii) the name of the new holding company became United Rentals, Inc., (iv) the
outstanding common stock of URI was automatically converted, on a
share-for-share basis, into common stock of Holdings and (v) the common stock
of Holdings commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol
"URI" instead of the common stock of URI. The purpose of the reorganization was
to facilitate certain financings. The business operations of the Company did
not

                                      23

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

change as a result of the new legal structure. The stockholders of Holdings
have the same rights, privileges and interests with respect to Holdings as they
had with respect to URI immediately prior to the reorganization.

10. Company-Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Preferred Securities
    of a Subsidiary Trust and Series A and B Preferred Stock

    Trust Securities. In August 1998, a subsidiary trust (the "Trust") of
Holdings issued and sold in a private offering (the "Preferred Securities
Offering") $300.0 million of 30 year, 6 1/2% Convertible Quarterly Income
Preferred Securities (the "Preferred Securities"). The net proceeds from the
Preferred Securities Offering were approximately $290.0 million. The Trust used
the proceeds from the Preferred Securities Offering to purchase 6 1/2%
convertible subordinated debentures due 2028 (the "Debentures") from Holdings
which resulted in Holdings receiving all of the net proceeds of the Preferred
Securities Offering. Holdings in turn contributed the net proceeds of the
Preferred Securities Offering to URI. The Preferred Securities are non-voting
securities, carry a liquidation value of $50 per security and are convertible
into the Company's common stock at an initial rate of 1.146 shares per security
(equivalent to an initial conversion price of $43.63 per share). They are
convertible at any time at the holders' option and are redeemable, at the
Company's option, after three years, subject to certain conditions.

    Holders of the Preferred Securities are entitled to preferential cumulative
cash distributions from the Trust at an annual rate of 6 1/2% of the
liquidation value, accruing from the original issue date and payable quarterly
in arrears beginning February 1, 1999. The distribution rate and dates
correspond to the interest rate and payments dates on the Debentures. Holdings
may defer interest payments on the Debentures for up to twenty consecutive
quarters, but not beyond the maturity date of the Debentures. If interest
payments on the Debentures are deferred, so are the payments on the Preferred
Securities. Under this circumstance, Holdings will be prohibited from paying
dividends on any of its capital stock or making payments with respect to its
debt that rank pari passu with or junior to the Debentures.

    Holdings has executed a guarantee with regard to payment of the Preferred
Securities to the extent that the Trust has sufficient funds to make the
required payments.

    Series A Preferred. On January 7, 1999, Holdings sold 300,000 shares of its
Series A Preferred. Subject to certain thresholds related to the aggregate
number of shares issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred, the holders of
the Series A Preferred, voting separately as a single class, have the right, on
an as-converted basis, to elect up to two directors. Currently, holders of the
Series A Preferred may elect two directors. Except for the election of
directors, the holders of the Series A Preferred have the same voting rights as
those belonging to holders of Holdings common stock. The net proceeds from the
sale of the Series A Preferred were approximately $287.0 million. Holdings
contributed such net proceeds to URI. The Series A Preferred is convertible
into 12,000,000 shares of Holdings common stock at $25 per share based upon a
liquidation preference of $1,000 per share of Series A Preferred, subject to
adjustment. The Series A Preferred has no stated dividend. However, in the
event Holdings declares or pays any dividends on, or distributions of, its
common stock, it must (subject to certain exceptions) also declare and pay to
the holders of Series A Preferred the dividends and distributions which would
have been declared and paid upon conversion of the Series A Preferred. See note
2 for additional information on the Series A Preferred.

    Series B Preferred. On September 30, 1999, Holdings sold 150,000 shares of
its Series B Preferred. The Series B Preferred is divided into two classes
designated as Class B-1 and Class B-2. Other than voting rights, the classes
are substantially the same. The holders of the 105,252 shares of Class B-1 are
entitled to the same voting rights, on an as-converted basis, as those
belonging

                                      24



                             UNITED RENTALS, INC.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)

to holders of Holdings common stock. The holders of the 44,748 shares of Class
B-2 have no such voting rights. The net proceeds from the sale of the Series B
Preferred were approximately $143.8 million. Holdings contributed such net
proceeds to URI. The Series B Preferred is convertible into 5,000,000 shares of
Holding's common stock at $30 per share based upon a liquidation preference of
$1,000 per share of Series B Preferred, subject to adjustment. The Series B
Preferred has no stated dividend. However, in the event Holdings declares or
pays any dividends on, or distributions of, its common stock, it must (subject
to certain exceptions) also declare and pay to the holders of Series B
Preferred the dividends and distributions which would have been declared and
paid upon conversion of the Series B Preferred. See note 2 for additional
information on the Series B Preferred.

11. Capital Stock

    Warrants. As of December 31, 2000 there are outstanding warrants to

    Common Stock. On March 9, 1999, Holdings completed a public offering of
2,290,000 shares of common stock. The net proceeds to the Company from this
offering were approximately $64.7 million (after deducting underwriting
discounts and offering expenses). Holdings contributed such net proceeds to
URI. During 2000, the Company approved a share repurchase program to acquire up
to $200 million of its issued and outstanding common stock. Share repurchases
under the program may be made from time to time, continuing through May 2002.
During 2000, the Company repurchased and retired 1,785,015 shares of common
stock.

    1997 Stock Option Plan. The Company's 1997 Stock Option Plan provides for
the granting of options to purchase not more than an aggregate of 5,000,000
shares of common stock. Some or all of such options may be "incentive stock
options" within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code. All officers,
directors and employees of the Company and other persons who perform services
on behalf of the Company are eligible to participate in this plan. Each option
granted pursuant to this plan must provide for an exercise price per share that
is at least equal to the fair market value per share of common stock on the
date of grant. No options may be granted under this plan after August 31, 2007.
As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, options to purchase an aggregate of 4,950,536
shares and 4,731,183 shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding
under this plan. The exercise price of each option, the period during which

determined by the Board of Directors (or by a committee appointed by the Board
of Directors).

    1998 Stock Option Plan. The Company's 1998 Stock Option Plan provides for
the granting of options to purchase not more than an aggregate of 4,200,000
shares of common stock. Some or all of the options issued under the 1998 Stock
Option Plan may be "incentive stock options" within the meaning of the Internal
Revenue Code. All officers and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries
are eligible to participate in the 1998 Stock Option Plan. Each option granted
pursuant to the 1998 Stock Option Plan must provide for an exercise price per
share that is at least equal to the fair market value per share of common stock
on the date of grant. No options may be granted under the 1998 Stock Option
Plan after August 20, 2008. As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, options to

adopted the 1997 Performance Award Plan under which stock options and other
awards could be granted to key employees and directors at prices and terms

    The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" in accounting for stock-based employee compensation arrangements
whereby no compensation cost related to stock options is deducted in
determining net income. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option
plans been determined pursuant to SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation", the Company's net income and earnings per share would have
differed. The weighted average fair value of options granted was $7.70, $10.99
and $11.94 during 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The fair value is
estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model
which uses subjective assumptions which can materially affect fair value
estimates and, therefore, does not necessarily provide a single measure of fair
value of options. Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and a risk-free
interest rate average of 5.15%, 6.29% and 4.6% in 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, a volatility factor for the market price of the Company's common
stock of 69%, 52% and 85% in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and a
weighted-average expected life of options of approximately three years in 2000,
1999 and 1998, the Company's net income (loss), basic earnings (loss) per share
and diluted earnings (loss) per share would have been $156.4 million, $2.20 and
$1.69, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2000, $104.3 million,
$1.46 and $1.12, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 1999, and $(13.3
million), $(0.20) and $(0.20), respectively, for the year ended December 31,
1998. For purposes of these pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of
options is amortized over the options' vesting period. Since the number of
options granted and their fair value may vary significantly from year to year,
the pro forma compensation expense in future years may be materially different.

    At December 31, 2000 there are (i) 7,094,296 shares of common stock
reserved for the exercise of warrants, (ii) 17,338,256 shares of common stock
reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted and that may be granted in
the future under the Company's stock option plans, (iii) 6,875,580 shares of
common stock reserved for the issuance of outstanding preferred securities of a
subsidiary trust, (iv) 17,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for the
issuance of Series A and Series B preferred stock and (v) 232,586 shares of
common stock reserved for the conversion of convertible debt.

    The Company was the seller-lessee in sale-leaseback transactions in 2000
where it sold rental equipment for aggregate proceeds of $218.8 million, in
1999 where it sold rental equipment for aggregate proceeds of $88.0 million and
in 1998 where it sold rental equipment for aggregate proceeds of $35.0 million.
For the 2000 transactions, the Company agreed to lease back the rental
equipment over periods ranging from eight months to five years. In connection
with the 2000 transactions, the Company recognized a gain of approximately
$12.5 million with respect to sale-leaseback transactions where the term of the
lease is for a minor portion of the remaining useful life of the equipment sold
and recorded deferred gains of approximately $4.0 million with respect to
sale-leaseback transactions where the term of the lease is for all or more than
a minor part of the remaining useful life of the equipment sold. For the 1999
transaction, the Company agreed to lease back the rental equipment over a five
year period beginning December 1999, which represented more than a minor part
of the remaining useful life, and will recognize a deferred gain of
approximately $6.3 million over the five year period. For the 1998 transaction,
the Company agreed to lease back the rental equipment over a five year period
beginning December 1998, which represented more than a minor part of the
remaining useful life, and will recognize a deferred gain on the sale of
approximately $0.6 million over the five year period. The future payments under
these leases are included in the table above.

    Rent expense under non-cancelable operating leases totaled $137.3 million,
$65.5 million and $20.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and
1998, respectively. The Company's real estate leases provide for varying terms
and include 24 leases that are on a month-to-month basis and 42 leases that
provide for a remaining term of less than one year and do not provide a renewal
option.

the full time employees of its Canadian subsidiaries. Under these plans, the
Company matches a percentage of the participants contributions up to a
specified amount. Company contributions to the plans were $6.2 million, $4.6
million and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

Legal Matters

    The Company is party to legal proceedings and potential claims arising in
the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the Company
has adequate legal defenses, reserves, or insurance coverage with respect to
these matters so that the ultimate resolution will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash
flows. The Company had accrued $7.6 million and $13.7 million at December 31,
2000 and 1999, respectively, to cover the uninsured portion of possible costs
arising from these pending claims and other potential unasserted claims.

Environmental Matters

    The Company and its operations are subject to various laws and related
regulations governing environmental matters. Under such laws, an owner or
lessee of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of
certain hazardous or toxic substances located on or in, or emanating from, such
property, as well as investigation of property damage. The Company incurs
ongoing expenses associated with the removal of underground storage tanks and
the performance of appropriate remediation at certain of its locations. The
Company believes that such removal and remediation will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or
cash flows.

14. Segment Information

    Each of the Company's branch locations is an operating segment which
consists of the rental and sales of equipment and related merchandise and
parts. Certain of the Company's branches also provide speciality traffic
control services as a product line and the amount of revenue attributable to
such services was $245.0 million and $79.3 million during the years ended
December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. All of the Company's branches have
been aggregated into one reportable segment because they offer similar products
and services in similar markets and the factors determining strategic decisions
are comparable.

16. Condensed Consolidating Financial Information of Guarantor Subsidiaries

    Certain indebtedness of URI, a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings (the
"Parent"), is guaranteed by URI's United States subsidiaries (the "guarantor
subsidiaries") and, in certain cases, also by Parent. However, this
indebtedness is not guaranteed by URI's foreign subsidiaries (the
"non-guarantor subsidiaries"). The guarantor subsidiaries are all wholly-owned
and the guarantees are made on a joint and several basis and are full and
unconditional (subject to subordination provisions and subject to a standard
limitation which provides that the maximum amount guaranteed by each guarantor
will not exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed without making the
guarantee void under fraudulent conveyance laws). Separate consolidated
financial statements of the guarantor subsidiaries have not been presented
because management believes that such information would not be material to
investors. However, condensed consolidating financial information as of
December 31, 2000 and 1999, and for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2000, are presented. The condensed consolidating financial
information of the Company and its subsidiaries are as follows:

17. Subsequent Events

    New Preferred Stock. On September 28, 2001, the Company entered into an
agreement effecting an exchange of the Company's outstanding Series A Preferred
for an equal number of shares of Series C Preferred and the exchange of the
Company's Series B Preferred for an equal number of shares of Series D
Preferred. Except as described below, the material terms of the new Series C
Preferred are the same as the old Series A Preferred and the material terms of
the new Series D Preferred are the same as the old Series B Preferred.

    The certificates of designation for the Series A Preferred and Series B
Preferred (the "Prior Preferred") provide that, upon the occurrence of a Change
of Control (as defined in these certificates of designation), the Company is
required to redeem the Prior Preferred. The term "Change of Control," as
defined in these certificates of designation, would have included certain
transactions that were disapproved by the Company's board. The certificates of
designation for Series C Preferred and Series D Preferred (the "New Preferred")
change these provisions by excluding from the definition of "Change of Control"
transactions that are defined as "Non-Approved Changes of Control." In general,
a Non-Approved Change of Control transaction is a change of control transaction
that the board has disapproved and which the board has not facilitated by such
actions as weakening or eliminating the Company's Stockholder Rights Plan.

    If a Non-Approved Change of Control occurs, the holders of the New
Preferred obtain the following additional rights, but only if, prior to the
transaction, the board does not elect to offer the holders of the New Preferred
essentially the same redemption rights that apply to an approved Change of
Control transaction:

   .  The holder of the Series C Preferred would elect a majority of the board
      for a specified period and, during such period, the unanimous vote of the
      board would be required to approve any optional redemption of the New
      Preferred or to declare, pay, or change the accrual rate of, any
      dividends on the New Preferred.

   .  Upon liquidation, the holders of the New Preferred would receive, in
      addition to the liquidation preference and accrued dividends, an amount
      equal to 6.25% of the liquidation preference, compounded annually from
      the date the Series A Preferred was issued, in the case of the Series C
      Preferred, or the date the Series B was issued, in the case of the Series
      D Preferred, and ending on the date of the Non Approved Change of
      Control. In addition, after holders of the Common Stock have received the
      equivalent amount, the holders of the New Preferred would participate
      with the holders of the Common Stock in any remaining amounts available
      for distribution (based upon the number of shares of Common Stock into
      which such Preferred shares would then be convertible).

   .  Dividends would begin to accrue on the New Preferred. Accrued dividends
      would not be payable until liquidation or sale of the Company, unless the
      board by unanimous vote approves earlier payment. The dividend rate would
      be 10% per annum of the liquidation preference, compounded annually. If
      these dividends are not paid quarterly, additional dividends would accrue
      at the rate of 8% per annum of the liquidation preference, compounded
      annually. Any regular or additional dividends that are not paid quarterly
      would be added to the liquidation preference.

    Stockholders Rights Plan. The Company adopted a Stockholders Rights Plan on
September 28, 2001 (with a record date of October 19, 2001). This plan and
other provisions of the Company's charter and bylaws may have the effect of
deferring hostile takeovers or delaying or preventing changes in control or
management of the Company, including transactions in which the shareholders of
the Company might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then
current market prices. The rights expire on September 27, 2011.

Board of Directors
United Rentals, Inc. (Parent Company of United Rentals (North America), Inc.)

    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of United

each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the management of
United Rentals (North America), Inc. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of United Rentals (North America), Inc. at December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the

                     UNITED RENTALS (NORTH AMERICA), INC.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

    United Rentals (North America), Inc., ("URI") and subsidiaries is a wholly
owned subsidiary of United Rentals, Inc., which is principally a holding
company ("Holdings" or "Parent"). Holdings was incorporated in July 1998 and
became the parent of URI on August 5, 1998, pursuant to the reorganization of
the legal structure of URI. Prior to such reorganization, the name of URI was
United Rentals, Inc. References herein to the "Company" refer to URI and its
subsidiaries.

    Certain footnotes are not provided for the accompanying financial
statements as the information in Notes 1 through 9, 11 and 13 through 15 to the
consolidated financial statements of United Rentals, Inc. included elsewhere in
this report is substantially equivalent to that required for the consolidated
financial statements of URI and its subsidiaries. Earnings per share data is
not provided for the operating results of URI and subsidiaries, as they are
wholly owned subsidiaries of Holdings. URI's various credit agreements and debt
instruments place restrictions on its ability to transfer funds to its
shareholder.

    Holdings provides certain services to URI in connection with its
operations. These services principally include: (i) senior management services,
(ii) finance related services and support, (iii) information technology systems
and support and (iv) acquisition related services. In addition, Holdings leases
certain equipment and real property that are made available for use by URI and
its subsidiaries. URI has made, and expects to continue to make, certain
payments to Holdings in respect of the services provided by Holdings to the
Company. The expenses relating to URI's payments to Holdings are reflected on
URI's financial statements as selling, general and administrative expenses. In
addition, although not legally obligated to do so, URI has in the past, and
expects that it will in the future, make distributions to Holdings for, among
other things, enabling Holdings to pay dividends on its preferred securities.

2. Capital Stock and Contributions

    At December 31, 2000, the Company has authorized 3,000 shares of its $0.01
par value common stock of which 1,000 shares are issued and outstanding. All of
the issued and outstanding common shares are owned by its Parent.

    Pursuant to the reorganization described in Note 1, the net proceeds from
the Company's initial public offering completed in December 1997 and the public
offering completed in March 1998 have been reflected as Contributed Capital
from the Parent in the accompanying statement of stockholder's equity. Holdings
also contributed the net proceeds from the issuance of redeemable convertible
preferred securities in August 1998 to URI. During 1999, Holdings contributed
the net proceeds from the issuance of common stock in a public offering and the
net proceeds from the issuance of perpetual convertible preferred stock to URI.

3. Condensed Consolidating Financial Information of Guarantor Subsidiaries

    Certain indebtedness of URI is guaranteed by URI's United States
subsidiaries (the "guarantor subsidiaries") but is not guaranteed by URI's
foreign subsidiaries (the "non-guarantor subsidiaries"). The guarantor
subsidiaries are all wholly-owned and the guarantees are made on a joint and
several basis and are full and unconditional (subject to subordination
provisions and subject to a standard limitation which provides that the maximum
amount guaranteed by each guarantor will not exceed the maximum amount that can
be guaranteed without making the guarantee void under fraudulent

                                      46

conveyance laws). All expenses incurred by URI have been charged by URI to its
guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries. Separate consolidated financial
statements of the guarantor subsidiaries have not been presented because
management believes that such information would not be material to investors.
However, condensed consolidating financial information as of December 31, 2000
and 1999, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2000, are presented. The condensed consolidating financial information of URI
and its subsidiaries are as follows:
