Independent Auditors Report
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
J.W. Burress, Incorporated
Roanoke, Virginia
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of J.W. Burress, Incorporated (the Company) as of
December 31, 2006 and the related statement of income, stockholders equity, and cash flows for the
year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America. 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 consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of J.W. Burress, Incorporated as of December 31, 2006, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

J. W. Burress, Incorporated
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2006
(Dollar Amounts In Thousands)
Note 1 Organization, Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Organization:
The Class A and Class B common stock of J. W. Burress, Incorporated (the Company) is owned by
seven current senior members of Company management, the former President and six former Vice
Presidents of J. W. Burress, Incorporated, formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fluor
Corporation. This management ownership group is herein referred to as the Stockholders.
Nature of business:
The Company operates as a distributor in the heavy equipment segment of the construction equipment
industry through the sale, rental, repair and maintenance of construction related equipment,
including ancillary sales of equipment parts. The Company currently has 12 locations in the
Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. The nature of the Companys business is such that
short-term obligations are typically met by cash flow generated from long-term assets.
Consequently, and consistent with industry practice, the accompanying Balance Sheet is presented on
an unclassified basis.
The Company sells parts and provides monthly rentals and service/repair of equipment on credit to
its customers. In very limited cases, the Company finances the sale of its equipment and retains a
security interest in the equipment until the note is paid. Therefore, the Companys exposure to
loss on those notes is limited to the difference between the notes receivable and the value of the
repossessed collateral. The Company does not anticipate any significant losses if equipment were
to be repossessed.
The Company is the exclusive regional distributor for a number of manufacturers. All of these
distributorships are cancelable on short notice but generally are renewed from year to year.
Significant Accounting Policies:
Basis of accounting
The financial statements of the Company are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Cash and cash equivalents
For financial reporting purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased
with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Those balances may, at
times, exceed the federally insured limits.
Trade accounts receivable
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and generally do not bear interest.
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its
accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management considers
historical losses, current receivables aging and other factors. Account balances are charged off
against the allowance to bad debt expense after all means of collection have been exhausted and the
potential for recovery is considered remote. The provision for doubtful accounts was approximately
$138 for the year ended December 31, 2006.

(Dollar Amounts In Thousands)
Note 1 Organization, Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Inventories
Equipment held for sale is stated at the lower of cost or market using the specific identification
cost method. Parts are stated at lower of cost or market using the Last-in; First-out (LIFO) cost
method.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Plant and equipment
under capital leases are stated at the present value of minimum lease payments.
Additions, improvements and expenditures that materially improve or extend the life of an asset are
capitalized. Other expenditures for maintenance or repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon
retirement or sale of an asset, its cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the
respective asset accounts.
Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
depreciable assets:

|
|
Building and leasehold improvements

Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful
lives or the remaining term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Total depreciation expense on
property and equipment for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $1,325.
Rental equipment fleet
Rental equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation, and is depreciated using a
percent of the rental income generated by the rental equipment asset. Total depreciation expense
on rental equipment fleet for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $15,169. Additions, improvements
and expenditures that materially improve or extend the life of an asset are capitalized. Other
expenditures for maintenance or repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon retirement or sale of an
asset, its cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the asset accounts.
Long-Lived assets
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and
rental equipment fleet are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a
long-lived asset be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash
flows expected to be generated by an asset to the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying
value of the long-lived asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment
is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is
determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, quoted
market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.

Interest rate swap agreements
The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to manage the risks related to interest rate
movement on certain debt. The agreements effectively provide a fixed interest rate on the related
debt. The interest rate swap agreements do not qualify as cash flow hedges based on the criteria
established by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Changes in the fair value
of the swap agreements are recorded in the Statement of Income in the period of change.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue on sales of new and used equipment and on the sale of parts upon
transfer of title to the customer and when the customer assumes the risk of loss, which generally
occurs upon delivery to, or pick-up by, the customer and when all obligations under the sales
contract have been fulfilled and collectibility is reasonably assured.
Revenues from after market services (primarily maintenance and repair services) are recognized as
revenues once the activities are substantially completed.
The Company rents equipment under various terms (the original term is usually less than one year).
A significant portion of these leases grant the lessee an option to purchase the equipment at any
time during the lease at the original sales price plus interest and expenses less rentals paid by
the lessee. The Company also rents equipment under biweekly and monthly terms. These rental
agreements grant no purchase option and, should the renter decide to purchase the item, the sales
price is negotiated at that time. The Company recognizes revenue from equipment rentals in the
period earned over the rental contract term on a straight-line basis, regardless of the timing of
billing to customers.
Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs
Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recorded as revenues while the related shipping
and handling costs are included in cost of revenues.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $193 for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
certain reported amounts and disclosures. Significant items subject to such estimates and
assumptions include the carrying amount of property and equipment and rental equipment fleet and
valuation allowances for receivables and inventories. Accordingly, actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Sales taxes
The Company imposes and collects significant amounts of sales taxes concurrent with its
revenue-producing transactions with customers and remits those taxes to the various governmental
agencies as prescribed by the taxing jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Such taxes are
presented in the Companys Statement of Income on a net basis.

Note 1 Organization, Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Income taxes
The Company has elected, by consent of its stockholders, to be taxed under the provisions of
Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Under those provisions, the Company does not pay
corporate income taxes on its taxable income or, in the case of a loss, is not allowed a net
operating loss carryover or carryback as a deduction. Instead, the stockholders are liable for
individual income taxes on the Companys taxable income or must include the Companys net operating
loss in their individual income tax returns.
Concentration of business and credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist
principally of trade accounts receivables.
Substantially all of the Companys business is on a credit basis. The Company extends credit to its
commercial customers based on evaluations of their financial condition and generally no collateral
is required, although in some cases mechanics liens may be filed to protect the Companys
interest. The demand for the Companys products is dependent on the general economy, the
industries in which the Companys customers operate or serve, and other factors. Downturns in the
general economy or in the markets in which the Company operates can cause demand for the Companys
products to materially decrease. The Company has a diversified customer base, operating in four
states and the District of Columbia, and in a number of different markets, including the
construction, mining, government, and industrial sectors. A cyclical downturn in any of these
markets could have a significant adverse effect on the Companys operations. The Company maintains
adequate reserves for potential credit losses. Historically, such losses have been minimal and
within managements estimates.
The Company is a dealer in equipment, the majority of which is supplied by a few large
manufacturers. The loss of any of these equipment lines could have a significant adverse effect on
the Companys operations. Management does not anticipate such a loss and feels if such a loss
occurred, a suitable replacement could be found.

Note 3 Inventories (continued)
Parts inventories are stated at the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market. Management
believes that the use of LIFO is a more preferable method, resulting in a better matching of costs
and revenues. If the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method had been used, inventories would have been
approximately $325 higher than was reported at December 31, 2006. The use of the LIFO method had
the effect of decreasing income by approximately $116 for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Note 6 Manufacturer Flooring Plans Payable
Manufacturer flooring plans payable are financing arrangements for inventory. The interest paid on
the manufacturer flooring plans ranges between zero percent and 1.0% plus the Prime Interest Rate.
Certain manufacturer flooring plans provide for a one to twelve-month reduced interest rate or
non-interest bearing term or a deferred payment period. The Company makes payments in accordance
with the original terms of the financing agreements. However, the Company routinely sells
equipment that is financed under manufacturer flooring plans prior to the original maturity date of
the financing agreement. The manufacturer flooring plan payable is then paid at the time the
equipment being financed is sold. The manufacturer flooring plans payable are secured by the
equipment being financed.
Maturities (based on original financing terms) of the manufacturer flooring plans payable as of
December 31, 2006 for each of the next five years ending December 31 are as follows:

Note 8
Commitments and Contingencies
Equipment orders:
At December 31, 2006, the Company has outstanding commitments for equipment orders totaling
approximately $83,600. Of this amount, the Company has $16,550 of signed equipment orders from
customers.
Stock buy-sell agreement:
The Company is obligated to purchase capital stock of its shareholders holding voting shares upon
their disability, bankruptcy or termination. The purchase price will be established by the consent

combination of cash and a 60-month promissory note bearing interest at the prime rate.
Leases:
The Company rents five of its branch office facilities under operating leases. The Companys
operating leases for these office facilities are non-cancelable operating lease agreements expiring
at various dates through 2010. These
office facility leases provide for varying terms, including customary renewal options and may
include base rental escalation clauses. Additionally, certain office facility leases may require
the Company to pay maintenance, insurance, taxes and other expenses in addition to the stated
rental payments. Net rent expense for these operating leases was approximately $281 for the year
ended December 31, 2006.

In June 2006, the Company entered into a capital lease agreement with a related party for its
Winston-Salem, North Carolina branch office facility, which had been damaged by fire in early 2006.
As a result of the fire damage, the facility was non-operational for the remainder of 2006. The
Company is fully insured and only incurred the cost of the minimal deductible for the loss. The
branch office facility became fully operational in early 2007 and payments on the lease by the
Company began in February 2007 under the terms of the lease. As a result, the accompanying Balance
Sheet does not include any related cost or accumulated amortization related to this property as of
December 31, 2006. However, future minimum capital lease payments as of December 31, 2006 under
the lease are as follows:

Legal proceedings:
Occasionally, the Company is party to certain litigation matters, in most cases involving ordinary
and routine claims incidental to the business of the Company. The ultimate legal and financial
liability of the Company with respect to
such pending litigation cannot be estimated with certainty, but the Company believes, based on its
examination of such matters, that such ultimate liability will not have a material adverse effect
on the business, or the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.
Note 9 Employee Benefits
The Company has a defined contribution retirement plan, which is available to all full-time
employees over 18 years of age. Employees may defer up to 20% of their wages, and the Company will
match 50% of the employees salary deferral contributions up to a maximum of 6% of total
compensation. Employer matching contributions begin to vest after one year of completed service by
the employee and vest in 20% over five years thereafter. The Companys contributions totaled $779
for the year ended December 31, 2006. A discretionary match of an additional 50% was approved and
contributed by the Company in 2006.
Note 10 Income Taxes
As an S Corporation, the stockholders are liable for individual income taxes on the Companys
taxable income. As a result, the Company makes distributions to the Stockholders that are used to
pay the related income taxes. Distributions to stockholders are reflected on the statement of
stockholders equity. A provision has not been made for additional distributions that may be paid
to the stockholders in the event stockholders actual income tax liability exceeds previous
distributions or for other purposes.
The Company is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for its income
tax returns for the year ended December 31, 2004. The Company does not expect any material tax
adjustments as a result of the IRS examination that would affect the Companys financial position
or cash flows from operations, as any adverse tax consequences would flow to the individual
Stockholders rather than the Company because of the Companys S Corporation Status.
Note 11 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Companys financial instruments include trade and other receivables, accounts payable,
manufacturer flooring plans payable and debt. The carrying value of trade and other receivables,
accounts payable is a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to the short-term nature of these
instruments.

The estimated fair value of the above instruments has been calculated based upon available market
information. The fair value of the note payable to SunTrust Bank approximates fair value due to
the fact that the underlying instrument includes provisions to adjust the interest rate to
approximate fair market value.
Note 12 Related Party Transactions
The Company is owned by its Stockholders, a group of seven current senior management members of the
Company. As noted in Note 8 to the Financial Statements, the Company currently leases four of its
branch office facilities under capital leases with three related party lessors, whose ownership is
comprised totally of the Stockholders of the Company. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the
Company paid $458 in rental payments under these capital leases. Total future minimum lease
payments at December 31, 2006 under these capital leases are $11,038.
The Stockholders are indebted to the Company for loans made by the Company to the Stockholders in
connection with the Stockholders acquisition of the Company. The $538 owed by the Stockholders to
the Company as of December 31, 2006 is shown as Notes receivable from Stockholders in the
accompanying Balance Sheet. The notes are payable on demand. The interest rate is determined
monthly and is equal to the Applicable Federal Rate published monthly by the IRS. Additionally, the
Company is an S Corporation and the Stockholders are liable individually for the income taxes
related to the Companys taxable income. The Company makes distributions to the Stockholders that
are used to pay the related income taxes. At December 31, 2006, the Company had accrued $1,231 as
Dividend payable to Stockholders in the accompany Balance Sheet. Subsequent to December 31,
2006, the dividend payable to the Stockholders was paid by the Company to the Stockholders, net of
the notes receivable balance due from Stockholders, including accrued interest to the date of
payment.
Note 13 Subsequent Event
On May 15, 2007, H&E Equipment Services, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, HE-JWB Acquisition,
Inc., (together H&E), entered into an agreement with the shareholders of the Company and the
shareholders representative to acquire the Company. The transaction is subject to H&E obtaining
certain third-party consents (including from equipment manufacturers and vendors), receipt of
financing, closing of the acquisition no later than July 31, 2007, and other customary closing
conditions.

Unaudited Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2007
(Amounts in Thousands)
Note 1 Subsequent Events
On May 15, 2007, the shareholders of J.W. Burress, Incorporated (the Company) and the
shareholders representative entered into an agreement with H&E Equipment Services, Inc. and its
wholly owned subsidiary, HE-JWB Acquisition, Inc., (and together H&E), to sell all of the capital
stock of the Company.
The acquisition was completed effective as of September 1, 2007 and was funded by H&E on
September 4, 2007, for a formula-based purchase price of approximately $96.0 million, subject to
post-closing adjustments, plus estimated assumed indebtedness of approximately $2.4 million. The
name of the Company was changed to H&E Equipment Services (Mid-Atlantic), Inc., effective as of
September 4, 2007.
At June 30, 2007, the Company leased four of its branch facility locations under capital leases
with related parties (see note 12 for further information). On August 31, 2007, three of the four
leases were amended, resulting in a classification change from capital leases to operating leases
pursuant to Statement on Financial Accounting Standard No. 13, Accounting for Leases.
Upon the consummation of the acquisition, the Burress Stockholders received notification from John
Deere Construction & Forestry Company (John Deere), Hitachis North American representative, of
termination of the Hitachi dealer agreement (the Termination Letter). Pursuant to the Termination
Letter, all Hitachi related manufacturer flooring plans payable totaling approximately $9.2 million
became due and payable. Additionally, certain Hitachi rental fleet, new equipment inventory and
parts inventory were to be returned to John Deere or other designated Hitachi dealerships within 60
days of the termination notification. Upon the return of the equipment, approximately $3.2 million
of manufacturer flooring plans payable associated with that equipment would be canceled and credits
would be issued for the return of the equipment. The Company has complied with all provisions
pursuant to the Termination Letter.
The following notes to the financial statements relate to the Company as of June 30, 2007 and for
the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
Note 2 Organization, Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Organization:
At June 30, 2007, the Class A and Class B common stock of the Company was owned by seven senior
members of Company management, the former President and six former Vice Presidents of J. W.
Burress, Incorporated, formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fluor Corporation. This
management ownership group is herein referred to as the Stockholders.
Nature of business:
The Company operates as a distributor in the heavy equipment segment of the construction equipment
industry through the sale, rental, repair and maintenance of construction related equipment,
including ancillary sales of equipment parts. At June 30, 2007, the Company operated 12 locations
in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. The nature of the Companys business is such that
short-term obligations are typically met by cash flow generated from long-term assets.
Consequently, and consistent with industry practice, the accompanying Balance Sheet is presented on
an unclassified basis.
The Company sells parts and provides monthly rentals and service/repair of equipment on credit to
its customers. In very limited cases, the Company finances the sale of its equipment and retains a
security interest in the equipment until the note is paid. Therefore, the Companys exposure to
loss on those notes is limited to the difference between the notes receivable and the value of the
repossessed collateral. The Company does not anticipate any significant losses if equipment were
to be repossessed.
The Company is the exclusive regional distributor for a number of manufacturers. All of these
distributorships are cancelable on short notice but generally are renewed from year to year.
Significant Accounting Policies:
Basis of accounting
The condensed financial statements of the Company are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting
and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In
the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all
adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Companys
financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The
results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

J. W. Burress, Incorporated
Unaudited Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2007
(Amounts in Thousands)
Note 2 Organization, Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Cash and cash equivalents
For financial reporting purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased
with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Those balances may, at
times, exceed the federally insured limits.
Trade accounts receivable
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and generally do not bear interest.
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its
accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management considers
historical losses, current receivables aging and other factors. Account balances are charged off
against the allowance to bad debt expense after all means of collection have been exhausted and the
potential for recovery is considered remote. The provision for doubtful accounts was approximately
$344 and $324 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Inventories
Equipment held for sale is stated at the lower of cost or market using the specific identification
cost method. Parts are stated at lower of cost or market using the Last-in; First-out (LIFO) cost
method.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Plant and equipment
under capital leases are stated at the present value of minimum lease payments.
Additions, improvements and expenditures that materially improve or extend the life of an asset are
capitalized. Other expenditures for maintenance or repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon
retirement or sale of an asset, its cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the
respective asset accounts.
Depreciation and amortization are provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the depreciable assets:
|
|
|
|
|
Building and leasehold improvements |
|
5-25 years |
Part equipment |
|
5-10 years |
Office furniture and machines |
|
3-10 years |
Shop equipment |
|
5 years |
Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful
lives or the remaining term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Total depreciation expense on
property and equipment for the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $849 and $654,
respectively.
Rental equipment fleet
Rental equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation, and is depreciated using a
percent of the rental income generated by the rental equipment asset. Total depreciation expense
on rental equipment fleet for the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $6,592 and
$7,597, respectively. Additions, improvements and expenditures that materially improve or extend
the life of an asset are capitalized. Other expenditures for maintenance or repairs are expensed
as incurred. Upon retirement or sale of an asset, its cost and related accumulated depreciation
are removed from the asset accounts.

Note 2 Organization, Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Long-Lived assets
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and
rental equipment fleet are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a
long-lived asset be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash
flows expected to be generated by an asset to the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying
value of the long-lived asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment
is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is
determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, quoted
market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.
Interest rate swap agreements
The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to manage the risks related to interest rate
movement on certain debt. The agreements effectively provide a fixed interest rate on the related
debt. The interest rate swap agreements do not qualify as cash flow hedges based on the criteria
established by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. Changes in the fair value of the swap agreements are recorded
in the Statement of Income in the period of change.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue on sales of new and used equipment and on the sale of parts upon
transfer of title to the customer and when the customer assumes the risk of loss, which generally
occurs upon delivery to, or pick-up by, the customer and when all obligations under the sales
contract have been fulfilled and collectibility is reasonably assured.
Revenues from after market services (primarily maintenance and repair services) are recognized as
revenues once the activities are substantially completed.
The Company rents equipment under various terms (the original term is usually less than one year).
A significant portion of these leases grant the lessee an option to purchase the equipment at any
time during the lease at the original sales price plus interest and expenses less rentals paid by
the lessee. The Company also rents equipment under biweekly and monthly terms. These rental
agreements grant no purchase option and, should the renter decide to purchase the item, the sales
price is negotiated at that time. The Company recognizes revenue from equipment rentals in the
period earned over the rental contract term on a straight-line basis, regardless of the timing of
billing to customers.
Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs
Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recorded as revenues while the related shipping
and handling costs are included in cost of revenues.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $100 and $86 for the six months ended June
30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

(Amounts in Thousands)
Note 2 Organization, Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
certain reported amounts and
disclosures. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying
amount of property and equipment and rental equipment fleet and valuation allowances for
receivables and inventories. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Sales taxes
The Company imposes and collects significant amounts of sales taxes concurrent with its
revenue-producing transactions with customers and remits those taxes to the various governmental
agencies as prescribed by the taxing jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Such taxes are
presented in the Companys Statement of Income on a net basis.
Income taxes
The Company has elected, by consent of its stockholders, to be taxed under the provisions of
Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Under those provisions, the Company does not pay
corporate income taxes on its taxable income or, in the case of a loss, is not allowed a net
operating loss carryover or carryback as a deduction. Instead, the stockholders are liable for
individual income taxes on the Companys taxable income or must include the Companys net operating
loss in their individual income tax returns.
Concentration of business and credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist
principally of trade accounts receivables.
Substantially all of the Companys business is on a credit basis. The Company extends credit to its
commercial customers based on evaluations of their financial condition and generally no collateral
is required, although in some cases mechanics liens may be filed to protect the Companys
interest. The demand for the Companys products is dependent on the general economy, the
industries in which the Companys customers operate or serve, and other factors. Downturns in the
general economy or in the markets in which the Company operates can cause demand for the Companys
products to materially decrease. The Company has a diversified customer base, operating in four
states and the District of Columbia, and in a number of different markets, including the
construction, mining, government, and industrial sectors. A cyclical downturn in any of these
markets could have a significant adverse effect on the Companys operations. The Company maintains
adequate reserves for potential credit losses. Historically, such losses have been minimal and
within managements estimates.
The Company is a dealer in equipment, the majority of which is supplied by a few large
manufacturers. The loss of any of these equipment lines could have a significant adverse effect on
the Companys operations. Management does not anticipate such a loss and feels if such a loss
occurred, a suitable replacement could be found.

Parts inventories are stated at the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market. Management
believes that the use of LIFO is a more preferable method, resulting in a better matching of costs
and revenues. If the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method had been used, inventories would have been
approximately $445 higher than was reported at June 30, 2007. The use of the LIFO method had the
effect of decreasing income by approximately $120 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and had
the effect of decreasing income by approximately $213 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Note 7 Manufacturer Flooring Plans Payable
Manufacturer flooring plans payable are financing arrangements for inventory. The interest paid on
the manufacturer flooring plans ranges between zero percent and 0.25% plus the Prime Interest Rate.
Certain manufacturer flooring plans provide for a one to twelve-month reduced interest rate or
non-interest bearing term or a deferred payment period. The Company makes payments in accordance
with the original terms of the financing agreements. However, the Company routinely sells
equipment that is financed under manufacturer flooring plans prior to the original maturity date of
the financing agreement. The manufacturer flooring plan payable is then paid at the time the
equipment being financed is sold. The manufacturer flooring plans payable are secured by the
equipment being financed.

Note 8 Debt (continued)
On December 31, 2004, the Company entered into an outstanding interest rate swap agreement with
SunTrust Bank which effectively fixed the Companys interest rate on its note with SunTrust Bank at
4.62%. The swap agreement had a notional principal amount of $2,001 at June 30, 2007. The
agreement maturity date is July 1, 2008. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of
nonperformance by SunTrust Bank. However, it does not anticipate nonperformance.
The Company also has three outstanding interest rate swap agreements with Bank of America which
effectively fixes the Companys interest rate on various portions of its line with Bank of America.
The swap agreements had a notional principal amount of $13,008 at June 30, 2007, with interest
effectively fixed ranging from 3.85% and 4.48% at June 30, 2007. Two agreements mature on
September 30, 2009 while the third matures on April 30, 2010. The Company is exposed to credit
loss in the event of nonperformance by Bank of America. However, it does not anticipate
nonperformance.
Note 9 Commitments and Contingencies
Equipment orders:
At June 30, 2007, the Company has outstanding commitments for equipment orders totaling
approximately $58,500. Of this amount, the Company has $18,300 of signed equipment orders from
customers.
Stock buy-sell agreement:
The Company is obligated to purchase capital stock of its shareholders holding voting shares upon
their disability, bankruptcy or termination. The purchase price will be established by the consent
of holders of 75% of the total voting and nonvoting shares. The purchase price will be paid by a
combination of cash and a 60-month promissory note bearing interest at the prime rate.
Leases:
The Company rents five of its branch office facilities under operating leases. The Companys
operating leases for these office facilities are non-cancelable operating lease agreements expiring
at various dates through 2010. These office facility leases provide for varying terms, including
customary renewal options and may include base rental escalation clauses. Additionally, certain
office facility leases may require the Company to pay maintenance, insurance, taxes and other
expenses in addition to the stated rental payments. Net rent expense for these operating leases
was approximately $143 and $140 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The Company also rents four of its branch office facilities as of June 30, 2007 under capital
leases with various related parties (see Note 12 to the Financial Statements for further
information). The Company also rents various vehicles used in the Companys business under capital
leases. The following table depicts the related cost and accumulated amortization balances as of
June 30, 2007 of such properties and equipment under capital leases, which is included in property
and equipment in the accompanying Balance Sheet.

Note 9 Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
Legal proceedings:
Occasionally, the Company is party to certain litigation matters, in most cases involving ordinary
and routine claims incidental to the business of the Company. The ultimate legal and financial
liability of the Company with respect to
such pending litigation cannot be estimated with certainty, but the Company believes, based on its
examination of such matters, that such ultimate liability will not have a material adverse effect
on the business, or the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.
Note 10 Employee Benefits
The Company has a defined contribution retirement plan, which is available to all full-time
employees over 18 years of age. Employees may defer up to 20% of their wages, and the Company will
match 50% of the employees salary deferral contributions up to a maximum of 6% of total
compensation. Employer matching contributions begin to vest after one year of completed service by
the employee and vest in 20% over five years thereafter. The Companys contributions totaled $204
and $300 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Note 11 Income Taxes
As an S Corporation, the stockholders are liable for individual income taxes on the Companys
taxable income. As a result, the Company makes distributions to the Stockholders that are used to
pay the related income taxes. Distributions to stockholders are reflected on the statement of
stockholders equity. A provision has not been made for additional distributions that may be paid
to the stockholders in the event stockholders actual income tax liability exceeds previous
distributions or for other purposes.
The Company is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for its income
tax returns for the year ended December 31, 2004. The Company does not expect any material tax
adjustments as a result of the
IRS examination that would affect the Companys financial position or cash flows from operations,
as any adverse tax consequences would flow to the individual Stockholders rather than the Company
because of the Companys S Corporation Status.
Note 12 Related Party Transactions
At June 30, 2007, the Company was owned by its Stockholders, a group of seven current senior
management members of the Company. As noted in Note 8 to the Financial Statements, the Company
currently leases four of its branch office facilities under capital leases with three related party
lessors, whose ownership is comprised of various Stockholders of the Company. For the six months
ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company paid $336 and $224, respectively, in rental payments
under these capital leases.
At December 31, 2006, the Stockholders were indebted to the Company for loans of $538 made by the
Company to the Stockholders in connection with the Stockholders acquisition of the Company. The
notes are payable on demand. The interest rate is determined monthly and is equal to the
Applicable Federal Rate published monthly by the IRS. Amounts due to the Company under these notes
were forgiven by the Company during the six month period ended June 30, 2007.
Additionally, the Company is an S Corporation and the Stockholders are liable individually for the
income taxes related to the Companys taxable income. The Company makes distributions to the
Stockholders that are used to pay their related income taxes. At December 31, 2006, the Company had
accrued $1,231 as a dividend payable to the stockholders for such taxes. Subsequent to December
31, 2006, the dividend payable to the stockholders was paid by the Company to the Stockholders, net
of the then outstanding notes receivable balance due from Stockholders, including accrued interest
to the date of payment.

Exhibit 99.3
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared
to give pro forma effect to the acquisition by H&E Equipment Services, Inc. (the Company or
H&E) of all of the capital stock of J.W. Burress, Incorporated (Burress), as if it had occurred
on January 1, 2006 and, in the case of balance sheet data, as if it had occurred on June 30, 2007.
We have derived H&Es (i) summary historical statement of income data for the year ended
December 31, 2006 from H&Es audited consolidated financial statements and (ii) historical
condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of June 30, 2007 and our historical condensed
consolidated statement of income data for the six months from January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007 from
H&Es interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (collectively, the H&E
Financial Statements). We have derived the Burress (i) summary historical statement of income
data for the year ended December 31, 2006 from the audited financial statements and (ii) historical
condensed balance sheet data as of June 30, 2007 and the historical condensed statement of income
data for the six months from January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007 from the interim unaudited financial
statements (collectively, the Burress Financial Statements). Certain reclassifications have been
made to the historical presentation of Burress to conform to the H&E presentation and to the
presentation of the pro forma financial statements contained herein. Historical results are not
necessarily indicative of results of future operations, and results for any interim period are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.
The following pro forma financial information is derived from (i) the H&E Financial Statements
and (ii) the Burress Financial Statements. The pro forma adjustments are based upon currently
available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the
circumstances. The pro forma adjustments are more fully described in the notes to the unaudited
pro forma condensed combined financial statements below. The acquisition of Burress has been
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. In addition, the unaudited pro forma
condensed combined balance sheet includes pro forma purchase price allocations based upon
preliminary estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in
connection with the acquisition. These allocations may be adjusted in the future upon finalization
of these preliminary estimates.
The pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with, and
are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the historical consolidated financial statements
of H&E Equipment Services, Inc. and the related notes thereto, included in H&Es Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, filed on
March 26, 2007 and H&Es Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2007, filed on August 9, 2007, and incorporated
herein by reference and the historical financial statements of Burress and the related notes
thereto, included as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.
The pro forma information is for informational purposes only and is not intended to be
indicative of the actual combined results that would have reported had the transactions occurred on
the dates indicated, nor does the information represent a forecast of the combined financial
results of the Company and Burress for any future period.

The purchase price was funded from available cash on hand and borrowings under the Companys senior
secured credit facility.
Note 2 Hitachi Dealer Agreement
As previously announced by H&E in connection with its acquistion of Burress, the purchase price
paid by H&E for Burress was calculated excluding any EBITDA derived from the Hitachi relationship.
On September 6, 2007, Burress received a notification from John Deere Construction & Forestry
Company (John Deere), Hitachis North American representative, of termination of the Hitachi
dealer agreement and a demand for payment of all Hitachi related indebtedness. The possibility that
the Hitachi relationship would be terminated was anticipated by H&E and Burress at the time the
parties entered into the acquisition agreement. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, the amount
of the outstanding Hitachi indebtedness was included in the calculation of the purchase price. H&E
funded the payment of Hitachi related indebtedness of approximately $9,207 with funds available
under its senior secured credit facility. This payment is included in the pro forma adjustments
included herein.
In connection with the termination of the Hitachi dealer agreement, all new Hitachi equipment
inventory, rental fleet and parts were to be returned to Hitachi or to various Hitachi designated
dealers. Additionally, Burress was to

(Amounts in thousands)
Note 2 Hitachi Dealer Agreement (continued)
receive credit for any Hitachi related manufacturer flooring payables owed on this equipment. The
effects of these events are reflected in the pro forma adjustments contained herein.
Under the acquisition agreement, the Burress shareholders may be entitled to receive additional consideration
of approximately $15.1 million payable over three years if the consent of Hitachi, meeting the requirements of the acquisition agreement, is obtained on or before
December 29, 2007. In connection with the termination of the Hitachi
dealer agreement, the Burress shareholders have filed for arbitration proceedings regarding John
Deeres contractual right to terminate the Hitachi dealer agreement. These contingent purchase
price payments are not included as a pro forma adjustment herein.
The pro forma adjustments contained herein do not reflect any impact to historical revenues and
costs related to the Hitachi relationship.
Note 3 Capital Leases
In conjunction with the acquisition, H&E purchased various vehicles held under capital leases by
Burress as the lessee. Also, Burress leases four of its branch office facilities which are
reflected in its historical financial statements as capital leases. On August, 31, 2007, three of
the four leases were amended, which resulted in a change in classification from a capital lease to
an operating lease in accordance with SFAS No. 13. The pro forma adjustments contained herein
reflect the buyout of the vehicle capital leases and the amendments to the branch facility leases
resulting in the lease classification change.
