Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	'
	Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include all significant normal and recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. The accompanying results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2014. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto of the Company, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
	Unless otherwise indicated, references to “FY 2013” and “FY 2014” are to the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
	Principles of Consolidation
	The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
	Foreign Currency Translation
	The Company’s functional currencies for its foreign operations are the respective local currencies, the Australian (“AUS”) and New Zealand (“NZ”) dollars in the Asia-Pacific area and the Canadian (“C”) dollar in North America. All adjustments resulting from the translation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements from the functional currency into reporting currency are recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters. All assets and liabilities are translated at the rates in effect at the balance sheet dates; and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average exchange rates during the periods. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated to the functional currency at the foreign exchange rate prevailing at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognized in the statement of operations. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated to the functional currency at foreign exchange rates prevailing at the dates the fair value was determined.

	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes include assumptions used in assigning value to identifiable intangible assets at the acquisition date, the assessment for impairment of goodwill, the assessment for impairment of other intangible assets, the allowance for doubtful accounts, share-based compensation expense, residual value of the lease fleet and deferred tax assets and liabilities. Assumptions and factors used in the estimates are evaluated on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the previous assumptions and factors have changed. The results of the analysis could result in adjustments to estimates.
	Inventories
	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value) and consist of primarily finished goods for containers, modular buildings and mobile offices held for sale or lease; as well as raw materials, work in-process and finished goods of manufactured portable liquid storage tank containers. Costs for leasing operations are assigned to individual items on the basis of specific identification and include expenditures incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing condition and location; while costs for manufactured units are determined using the first-in, first-out method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business. Expenses of marketing, selling and distribution to customers, as well as costs of completion, are estimated and are deducted from the estimated selling price to establish net realizable value. Inventories are comprised of the following (in thousands):


		June 30,		September 30,
		2013		2013
	Finished goods	$	27,357	$	46,724
	Work in progress		1,680		1,926
	Raw materials		2,821		3,623

		$	31,858	$	52,273

	Property, plant and equipment consist of the following (in thousands):


		Estimated		June 30,			September 30,
		Useful Life		June 30,			September 30,
				2013			2013
	Land		—	$	2,181		$	2,309
	Building and improvements		10 — 40 years		3,943			4,000
	Transportation and plant equipment (including capital lease assets)		3 — 20 years		22,605			24,937
	Furniture, fixtures and office equipment		3 — 10 years		5,142			5,402
	Construction in-process				87			214

					33,958			36,862
	Less accumulated depreciation and amortization				(14,118	)		(15,291	)

				$	19,840		$	21,571

	Lease Fleet
	The Company has a fleet of storage, portable building, office and portable liquid storage tank containers, mobile offices, modular buildings and steps that it primarily leases to customers under operating lease agreements with varying terms. The value of the lease fleet (or lease or rental equipment) is recorded at cost and depreciated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful life (5 - 20 years), after the date the units are put in service, down to their estimated residual values (up to 70% of cost). In the opinion of management, estimated residual values are at or below net realizable values. The Company periodically reviews these depreciation policies in light of various factors, including the practices of the larger competitors in the industry, and its own historical experience. Costs incurred on lease fleet units subsequent to initial acquisition are capitalized when it is probable that future economic benefits in excess of the originally assessed performance will result; otherwise, they are expensed as incurred. At June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the gross costs of the lease fleet were $332,435,000 and $356,164,000, respectively.
	Units in the lease fleet are also available for sale. The cost of sales of a unit in the lease fleet is recognized at the carrying amount at the date of sale.

	Income Taxes
	The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date multiplied by the applicable tax rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is recorded for the amount of income tax payable or refundable for the period increased or decreased by the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period. The Company files U.S. Federal tax returns, multiple U.S. state (and state franchise) tax returns and Australian, New Zealand and Canadian tax returns. For U.S. Federal tax purposes, all periods subsequent to June 30, 2008 are subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and, for U.S. state tax purposes, with few exceptions, all periods subsequent to June 30, 2007 are subject to examination by the respective state’s taxation authorities. Generally, periods subsequent to June 30, 2008 are subject to examination by the respective taxation authorities in Australia, New Zealand and Canada. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded. In addition, the Company does not anticipate that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefit related to any particular tax position will change significantly within the next 12 months.
	The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties, if any, will be to record such items as a component of income taxes.
	Net Income per Common Share
	Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods. Diluted net income per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. The potential dilutive securities (common stock equivalents) the Company had outstanding were warrants and stock options. The following is a reconciliation of weighted average shares outstanding used in calculating earnings per common share:


		Quarter Ended September 30,
		2012		2013
	Basic		22,024,742		24,334,531
	Assumed exercise of warrants		35,785		—
	Assumed exercise of stock options		419,643		582,589

	Diluted		22,480,170		24,917,120

	Potential common stock equivalents totaling 3,475,193 and 1,588,007 for FY 2013 and FY 2014, respectively, have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect is anti-dilutive.
	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
	Previously, in August 2010, the FASB, as result of a joint project with the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) to simplify lease accounting and improve the quality of and comparability of financial information for users, published proposed standards that would change the accounting and financial reporting for both lessee and lessor under ASC Topic 840, Leases. Since then, the FASB and IASB have been deliberating submitted comments about their 2010 proposals and other feedback from constituents. On May 16, 2013, both the FASB and the IASB issued nearly identical exposure drafts that retained the most significant change to lease accounting rules from the 2010 proposed standards, the elimination of the concept of off-balance sheet treatment for “operating leases” for lessees for the vast majority of lease contracts. However, the 2013 exposure drafts include significant modifications, among them the establishment of two types of lease contracts for both lessees and lessors. Instead of capital and operating leases, the proposed rules create two types of leases (both similar to capital leases for lessees), which the FASB and IASB refer to as “Type A” and “Type B.” In addition, the revised exposure drafts seek to correct issues, noted by many commenters, related to the pattern and classification of expense recognition as well as the definition of “lease term” and the treatment of variable lease payments under the 2010 proposed standards. The Company believes that the final standards, if issued in substantially the same form as the revised exposure drafts, would have a material effect in the presentation of its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
	In February 2013, the FASB updated the guidance within ASC 220, Comprehensive Income. The update requires companies to report, in one place, information about reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and changes in AOCI balances. For significant items reclassified out of AOCI to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period, reporting is required about the effect of the reclassifications on the respective line items in the statement where net income is presented. For items that are not reclassified to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period, a cross reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP is required. The above information must be presented in one place, either parenthetically on the face of the financial statements by income statement line item, or in a note. The updated guidance is to be applied prospectively, and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the new provisions of this accounting standard at the beginning of FY 2014, but its adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

	Note 3. Equity Transactions
	Rights Offering
	On June 25, 2010, the Company completed a rights offering to stockholders of record as of May 14, 2010. The offering entitled holders of the rights to purchase units at $1.50 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of GFN common stock and a three-year warrant to purchase 0.5 additional shares of GFN common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. By the expiration date of June 25, 2013, the Company had received total net proceeds of $8,154,000 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 from exercises of these warrants that resulted in the issuance of 2,038,626 shares of GFN common stock. Of these net proceeds, $8,000,000 was used to reduce indebtedness at Pac-Van Van under its senior credit facility (see Note 5).
	Preferred Stock
	Upon issuance of shares of preferred stock, the Company records the liquidation value as the preferred equity in the consolidated balance sheet, with any underwriting discount and issuance or offering costs recorded as a reduction in additional paid-in capital.
	Series A and B Preferred Stock
	The Company conducted private placements of Series A 12.5% Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share and liquidation preference of $50 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”); and Series B 8% Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value of $0.0001 per share and liquidation value of $1,000 per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”). The Series B Preferred Stock is offered primarily in connection with business combinations. In connection with a public offering of a new series of preferred stock, the Company redeemed the Series A Preferred Stock (see below) and, at September 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding 100 shares of Series B Preferred Stock in Equity totaling $100,000.
	The Series B Preferred Stock is not convertible into GFN common stock, has no voting rights, except as required by Delaware law, and is not redeemable prior to February 1, 2014; at which time it may be redeemed at any time, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option. Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, annual dividends payable quarterly in arrears on the 31st day of January, July and October and on the 30th day of April of each year. In the event of any liquidation or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will have preference to holders of common stock.
	In connection with an acquisition during the year ended June 30, 2011, the Company issued 110 shares of Series B Preferred Stock with a liquidation value of $110,000 that is redeemable in three annual installments from the dates of issuance. As a result, these shares, which total $37,000 at June 30, 2013, are classified as a liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheet under the caption “Senior and other debt.”
	Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
	In connection with the Southern Frac acquisition on October 1, 2012, the Company issued 750 shares of a Series C Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share and liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (“Series C Convertible Preferred Stock”). The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock accrued no dividends, unless declared by the Board of Directors of the Company, and was automatically convertible into 150,000 shares of GFN common stock at the date that the shares of GFN common stock had a closing price equal to or in excess of $5.00 per share on the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”). On February 12, 2013, the closing price of the Company’s common stock was $5.06 per share, and the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock automatically converted to 150,000 shares of Company common stock. Subsequently, the shares of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock were cancelled.

	Series C Preferred Stock
	On May 17, 2013, the Company completed a public offering of 350,000 shares of 9.00% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), liquidation preference $100.00 per share, and on May 24, 2013, the underwriters exercised their overallotment option to purchase an additional 50,000 shares. Proceeds from the offering totaled $37,500,000, after deducting the underwriting discount of $2,000,000 and offering costs of $500,000. The Company used $36,000,000 of the net proceeds to reduce indebtedness at Pac-Van under its senior credit facility, pursuant to the requirement that at least 80% of the gross proceeds, or $32,000,000, be used for that purpose in order to permit the payment of intercompany dividends by Pac-Van to GFN and its subsidiaries to fund any dividends declared on the Series C Preferred Stock (see Note 5) and also used $1,295,000, plus accrued dividends, of the net proceeds to redeem the 25,900 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock. Subsequently, the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were cancelled.
	Dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock are cumulative from the date of original issue and will be payable on the 31st day of each January, July and October and on the 30th day of April commencing July 31, 2013 when, as and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors. Commencing on May 17, 2018, the Company may redeem, at its option, the Series C Preferred Shares, in whole or in part, at a cash redemption price of $100.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption date. Among other things, the Series C Preferred Shares have no stated maturity, are not subject to any sinking fund or other mandatory redemption, and are not convertible into or exchangeable for any of the Company’s other securities. Holders of the Series C Preferred Shares generally will have no voting rights, except for limited voting rights if dividends payable on the outstanding Series C Preferred Shares are in arrears for six or more consecutive or non-consecutive quarters, and under certain other circumstances. If the Company fails to maintain the listing of the Series C Preferred Stock on the NASDAQ for 30 days or more, the per annum dividend rate will increase by an additional 2.00% per $100.00 stated liquidation value ($2.00 per annum per share) so long as the listing failure continues. In addition, in the event of any liquidation or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock will have preference to holders of common stock and are pair passu with the Series B Preferred Stock.
	The Series C Preferred Shares are listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the symbol “GFNCP.”
	Dividends
	As of September 30, 2013, since issuance, dividends paid or payable totaled $55,000 for the Series B Preferred Stock.
	On July 18, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a cash dividend of $1.875 per share on the Series C Preferred Stock. The dividend was for the period commencing on May 17, 2013, the date of original issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock, through July 30, 2013, and was paid on July 31, 2013 to holders of record as of July 30, 2013.
	The characterization of dividends to the recipients for Federal income tax purposes is made based upon the earnings and profits of the Company, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code.
	Royal Wolf Dividends
	On August 14, 2012, the Board of Directors of Royal Wolf declared a dividend of AUS$0.045 per RWH share payable on October 2, 2012 to shareholders of record on September 20, 2012. On August 13, 2013, the Board of Directors of Royal Wolf declared a dividend of AUS$0.05 per RWH share payable on October 3, 2013 to shareholders of record on September 24, 2013.
	The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the amount of the dividends pertaining to the noncontrolling interest.

Acquisitions	'
	Note 4. Acquisitions
	The Company can enhance its business and market share by entering into new markets in various ways, including starting up a new location or acquiring a business consisting of container, modular unit or mobile office assets of another entity. An acquisition generally provides the Company with operations that enables it to at least cover existing overhead costs and is preferable to a start-up or greenfield location. The businesses discussed below were acquired primarily to expand the Company’s container lease fleet. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the operations of the acquired businesses from the dates of acquisition.

	FY 2014 Acquisitions
	On August 1, 2013, the Company, through Pac-Van, purchased the business of Harper’s Hot Shot Service, Inc. (“Harper Hot Shot”) for $3,255,000, which included a holdback amount of $148,000. Harper Hot Shot leases and sells containers in Paducah, Kentucky.
	On September 6, 2013, the Company, through Pac-Van, purchased the business of Canadian Storage Containers Inc. (“Canadian Storage”) for $1,516,000 (C$1,591,000), which included a holdback amount of approximately $247,000 (C$260,000). Canadian Storage leases and sells containers and is located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
	On September 10, 2013, the Company, through Royal Wolf, purchased the businesses of Intermodal Solutions Pty Ltd, Kookaburra Containers Pty Ltd, Kookaburra Containers WA Pty Ltd, Kookaburra Containers Victoria Pty Ltd, Pack and Secure Pty Ltd and Intermodal Solutions Holdings Pty Ltd, collectively “Intermodal Kookaburra” for $5,231,000 (AUS$5,680,000), which included a holdback amount of approximately $368,000 (AUS$400,000). Intermodal Kookaburra, among other things, leases and sells freight and storage containers in the Asia-Pacific area.
	The valuations and purchase accounting for the acquisitions in FY 2014 are still to be completed and are subject to change. The preliminary allocations to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were as follows (in thousands):

	Royal Wolf Senior Credit Facility
	Royal Wolf has an approximately $118,462,000 (AUS$101,000,000 and NZ$29,300,000) senior credit facility with Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (“ANZ”), which is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company’s Australian and New Zealand subsidiaries (the “ANZ Credit Facility”). Approximately $89,832,000 (AUS$71,000,000 container purchases sub-facility and NZ$28,500,000 flexible rate term loan facility) matures on September 30, 2016, $13,983,000 (AUS$15,000,000 capital expenditure sub-facility) matures on November 14, 2014, another $13,983,000 (AUS$15,000,000 multi-option sub-facility) matures by June 30, 2014 and $664,000 (NZ$800,000 term facility) matures in varying installments over the next five years.

	As of September 30, 2013, based upon the exchange rate of one Australian dollar to $0.9322 U.S. dollar and one New Zealand dollar to $0.8297 Australian dollar, total borrowings and availability under the ANZ credit facility totaled $105,071,000 (AUS$112,713,000) and $9,837,000 (AUS$10,552,000), respectively. Borrowings under the ANZ Credit Facility bear interest at the bank bill swap interest rate in Australia (BBSY) or New Zealand (BKBM), plus 1.50% - 1.95% per annum. At September 30, 2013, the BBSY and BKBM were 2.64% and 2.63%, respectively.
	Royal Wolf also has a $2,797,000 (AUS$3,000,000) sub-facility with ANZ to, among other things, facilitate direct and global payments using electronic banking services.
	The ANZ senior credit facility, as amended, is subject to certain financial and other customary covenants, including, among other things, compliance with specified consolidated interest coverage and total debt ratios based on EBITDA and the payment of dividends are not to exceed 60% of net profits (adding back amortization), plus any dividend surplus from the previous year, as defined.
	Pac-Van Senior Credit Facility
	Pac-Van had an $85,000,000 senior secured revolving credit facility with a syndicate led by PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”) that included Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) and Union Bank, N.A. (the “PNC Credit Facility”). The PNC Credit Facility was scheduled to mature on January 16, 2013, but on September 7, 2012, Pac-Van entered into a new five-year, senior secured revolving credit facility with a syndicate led by Wells Fargo, that also includes HSBC Bank USA, NA (“HSBC”), and the Private Bank and Trust Company (the “Wells Fargo Credit Facility “). Under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility, as amended, Pac-Van may borrow up to $120,000,000, subject to the terms of a borrowing base, as defined, and provides for the issuance of irrevocable standby letters of credit in amounts totaling up to $5,000,000. Borrowings will accrue interest, at Pac-Van’s option, either at the base rate plus 1.75% to 2.25% or the LIBOR plus 2.75% to 3.25%. The Wells Fargo Credit Facility contains, among other things, certain financial covenants, including fixed charge coverage ratios and utilization ratios.
	With the satisfaction of the requirement that at least 80% of the gross proceeds received in the Series C Preferred Stock offering (see Note 3) be used to reduce indebtedness under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility, Pac-Van is permitted to pay intercompany dividends in each fiscal year to GFN and its subsidiaries equal to the lesser of $4,000,000 or the amount equal to the dividend rate of the Series C Preferred Stock and its aggregate liquidation preference and the actual amount of dividends required to be paid to the Series C Preferred Stock, provided that (i) the payment of such dividends does not cause a default or event of default; (ii) Pac-Van is solvent; (iii) Pac-Van is permitted to borrow $4,000,000 or more under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility; and (iv) Pac-Van is in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant after giving effect to the payment and the dividends are paid no earlier than ten business days prior to the date they are due.
	At September 30, 2013, borrowings and availability under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility totaled $74,287,000 and $45,713,000, respectively.
	Southern Frac Senior Credit Facility
	Southern Frac has a senior credit facility with Wells Fargo, as amended, (“Wells Fargo SF Credit Facility”) that provides with (i) a senior secured revolving line of credit under which Southern Frac may borrow, subject to the terms of a borrowing base, as defined, up to $12,000,000 with a three-year maturity; (ii) a combined $860,000 equipment and capital expenditure term loan (the “Restated Equipment Term Loan”), which fully amortizes over 48 months commencing July 1, 2013; and (iii) a $1,500,000 term loan (the “Term Loan B”), which fully amortizes over 18 months, commencing May 1, 2013. The Wells Fargo SF Credit Facility contains, among other things, certain financial covenants, including excess availability and fixed charge coverage ratios, and other covenants, representations, warranties, indemnification provisions, and events of default that are customary for senior secured credit facilities; including events of default relating to a change of control of GFN, GFNMC and Southern Frac. Borrowings under the Wells Fargo SF Credit Facility will accrue interest based on the three-month LIBOR, plus a margin equal to 3.5% for the revolving line of credit, 4.0% for the Restated Equipment Term Loan and 7.0% for the Term Loan B.
	At September 30, 2013, borrowings and availability under the Wells Fargo SF Credit Facility totaled $5,404,000 and $1,347,000, respectively.

	Other
	Other debt, including redeemable preferred stock (see Note 3), totaled $3,522,000 at September 30, 2013.
	The weighted-average interest rate in the Asia-Pacific area was 6.4% and 5.9% in FY 2013 and FY 2014, respectively; which does not include the effect of translation, interest rate swap contracts and options and the amortization of deferred financing costs. The weighted-average interest rate in North America was 5.8% and 3.8% in FY 2013 and FY 2014, respectively, which does not include the effect of the amortization of deferred financing costs and accretion of interest.

	Fair Value Measurements
	FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value, as follows:
	Level 1 - Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
	Level 2 - Observable inputs, other than Level 1 inputs in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
	Level 3 - Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
	The Company’s derivative instruments are not traded on a market exchange; therefore, the fair values are determined using valuation models that include assumptions about yield curve at the reporting dates as well as counter-party credit risk. The assumptions are generally derived from market-observable data. The Company has consistently applied these calculation techniques to all periods presented, which are considered Level 2.
	Derivative instruments measured at fair value and their classification in the condensed consolidated balances sheets and statements of operations are as follows (in thousands):


				Derivative - Fair Value (Level 2)
	Type of Derivative	Balance Sheet Classification		June 30, 2013				September 30, 2013

	Interest Rate Swap Contracts
	The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to its senior and other debt obligations. The Company’s policy is to manage its interest expense by using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt.
	To manage its exposure to variable interest rates in a cost-efficient manner, the Company enters into interest rate swaps and interest rate options, in which the Company agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. These swaps and options are designated to hedge changes in the interest rate of a portion of the ANZ outstanding borrowings. The Company believes that financial instruments designated as interest rate hedges were highly effective; however, prior to August 2012, documentation of such, as required by FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, did not exist. Therefore, all movements in the fair values of these hedges prior to August 2012 were reported in the consolidated statements of operations in the periods in which fair values change. In August 2012, the Company entered into an interest swap contract that met documentation requirements and, as such, it was designated as a cash flow hedge. This cash flow hedge was determined to be highly effective in FY 2013 and FY 2014 and, therefore, changes in the fair value of the effective portion were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company expects this derivative to remain effective during the remaining term of the swap; however, any changes in the portion of the hedge considered ineffective would be recorded in interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations. In FY 2014, the ineffective portion of this cash flow hedge recorded in interest expense was an unrealized gain of $30,000.
	The Company’s interest rate derivative instruments are not traded on a market exchange; therefore, the fair values are determined using valuation models which include assumptions about the interest rate yield curve at the reporting dates (Level 2 fair value measurement). As of June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013, there was one open interest rate swap contract that was designated as a cash flow hedge and matures in June 2017, as follows (dollars in thousands):


		June 30, 2013								September 30, 2013

	Fair Value of Combined Contracts	$	(1,210	)		$	—			$	(1,318	)	$	—

	Foreign Currency Risk
	The Company has transactional currency exposures. Such exposure arises from sales or purchases in currencies other than the functional currency. The currency giving rise to this risk is primarily U.S. dollars. Royal Wolf has a bank account denominated in U.S. dollars into which a small number of customers pay their debts. This is a natural hedge against fluctuations in the exchange rate. The funds are then used to pay suppliers, avoiding the need to convert to Australian dollars. Royal Wolf uses forward currency and participating forward contracts to eliminate the currency exposures on the majority of its transactions denominated in foreign currencies, either by transaction if the amount is significant, or on a general cash flow hedge basis. The forward currency and participating forward contracts are always in the same currency as the hedged item. The Company believes that financial instruments designated as foreign currency hedges are highly effective. However documentation of such as required by ASC Topic 815 does not exist. Therefore, all movements in the fair values of these hedges are reported in the statement of operations in the period in which fair values change. As of June 30, 2013, there were 43 open forward exchange and two participating forward contracts that mature between July 2013 and November 2013; and as of September 30, 2013, there were 44 open forward exchange contracts that mature between October 2013 and March 2014, as follows (dollars in thousands):


		June 30, 2013								September 30, 2013

	Fair Value of Combined Contracts	$	692			$	21			$	23		$	—

	In FY 2013 and FY 2014, net unrealized and realized foreign exchange gains totaled $360,000 and $137,000, and $51,000 and $32,000, respectively.

	Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
	The fair value of the Company’s borrowings under its senior credit facilities was determined based on level 3 inputs including a search for debt issuances with maturities comparable to the Company’s debt (“Debt Issuances with Upcoming Call Dates”), a comparison to a group of comparable industry debt issuances (“Industry Comparable Debt Issuances”) and a study of credit (“Credit Spread Analysis”) as of June 30, 2013. Under the Debt Issuances with Upcoming Call Dates, the Company performed a Yield-to-Worse analysis on debt issuances with call dates that were comparable to the maturity dates of the Company’s borrowings. Under the Industry Comparable Debt Issuance method, the Company compared the debt facilities to several industry comparable debt issuances. This method consisted of an analysis of the offering yields compared to the current yields on publicly traded debt securities. Under the Credit Spread Analysis, the Company first examined the implied credit spreads of the United States Federal Reserve. Based on this analysis the Company was able to assess the credit market. The fair value of the Company’s senior credit facilities as of June 30, 2013 was determined to be approximately $156,098,000. The Company also determined that the fair value of its other debt of $3,612,000 at June 30, 2013 approximated or would not vary significantly from their carrying values. The Company believes that market conditions at September 30, 2013 have not changed significantly from June 30, 2013. Therefore, the proportion of the fair value to the carrying value of the Company’s senior credit facilities and other debt at September 30, 2013 would not vary significantly from the proportion determined at June 30, 2013.
	Under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, the carrying value of the Company’s other financial instruments (consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents, net receivables, trade payables and accrued liabilities) approximate fair value.

Note 8. Equity Plans

On August 29, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the General Finance Corporation 2006 Stock Option Plan (“2006 Plan”), which was approved and amended by stockholders on June 14, 2007 and December 11, 2008, respectively. Options granted and outstanding under the 2006 Plan are either incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or so-called non-qualified options that are not intended to meet incentive stock option requirements. All options granted do not have a term in excess of ten years, and the exercise price of any option is not less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. After the adoption by the Board of Directors and upon the approval of the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (“2009 Plan”) by the stockholders (see below), the Company suspended any further grants under the 2006 Plan.

On September 21, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 2009 Plan, which was approved by the stockholders at the Company’s annual meeting on December 10, 2009. The 2009 Plan is an “omnibus” incentive plan permitting a variety of equity programs designed to provide flexibility in implementing equity and cash awards, including incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock grants (“non-vested equity shares”), restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance stock, performance units and other stock-based awards. Participants in the 2009 Plan may be granted any one of the equity awards or any combination of them, as determined by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee. Upon the approval of the 2009 Plan by the stockholders, the Company suspended further grants under the 2006 Plan (see above). Any stock options which are forfeited under the 2006 Plan will become available for grant under the 2009 Plan, but the total number of shares available under the 2006 Plan and the 2009 Plan will not exceed the 2,500,000 shares reserved for grant under the 2006 Plan. Unless terminated earlier at the discretion of the Board of Directors, the 2009 Plan will terminate December 10, 2019.

The 2006 Plan and the 2009 Plan are referred to collectively as the “Stock Incentive Plan.”

There have been no grants or awards of restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance stock or performance units under the Stock Incentive Plan. All grants to-date consist of incentive and non-qualified stock options that vest over a period of up to five years (“time-based”) and non-qualified stock options and non-vested equity shares that vest over varying periods that are dependent on the attainment of certain defined EBITDA and other targets (“performance-based”).

Since inception, the range of the fair value of the stock options granted (other than to non-employee consultants) and the assumptions used are as follows:

At September 30, 2013, outstanding time-based options and performance-based options totaled 1,177,950 and 955,870, respectively. Also at that date, the Company’s market price for its common stock was $5.36 per share, which was at or below the exercise prices of over 40% of the outstanding stock options. As a result, the intrinsic value of the outstanding stock options at that date was $3,052,000.

Share-based compensation of $4,651,000 related to stock options and has been recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, with a corresponding benefit to equity, from inception through September 30, 2013. At that date, there remains $1,653,000 of unrecognized compensation expense to be recorded on a straight-line basis over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 1.5 years.

A deduction is not allowed for U.S. income tax purposes with respect to non-qualified options granted in the United States until the stock options are exercised or, with respect to incentive stock options issued in the United States, unless the optionee makes a disqualifying disposition of the underlying shares. The amount of any deduction will be the difference between the fair value of the Company’s common stock and the exercise price at the date of exercise. Accordingly, there is a deferred tax asset recorded for the U.S. tax effect of the financial statement expense recorded related to stock option grants in the United States. The tax effect of the U.S. income tax deduction in excess of the financial statement expense, if any, will be recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital.

On June 7, 2013, the Company granted a total of 115,000 non-vested equity shares to seven officers and key employees of GFN, Pac-Van and Southern Frac at a value equal to the closing market price of the Company’s common stock as of that date, or $4.43 per share. The non-vested equity shares are subject to performance conditions based on achieving adjusted EBITDA and return of capital targets for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2014 and 2015 and would be expected to vest thirty-nine months from the date of grant. Share-based compensation of $49,000 related to non-vested equity shares and has been recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, with a corresponding benefit to equity, from inception through September 30, 2013. At that date, there remains $460,000 of unrecognized compensation expense to be recorded on a straight-line basis over the remaining vesting period of over 3.0 years.

Royal Wolf Long Term Incentive Plan

In conjunction with the RWH IPO (see Note 1), Royal Wolf established the Royal Wolf Long Term Incentive Plan (the “LTI Plan”). Under the LTI Plan, the RWH Board of Directors may grant, at its discretion, options, performance rights and/or restricted shares of RWH capital stock to Royal Wolf employees and executive directors. Vesting terms and conditions may be up to four years and, generally, will be subject to performance criteria based primarily on enhancing shareholder returns using a number of key financial benchmarks, including EBITDA. In addition, unless the RWH Board determines otherwise, if an option, performance right or restricted share has not lapsed or been forfeited earlier, it will terminate at the seventh anniversary from the date of grant.

It is intended that up to one percent of RWH’s outstanding capital stock will be reserved for grant under the LTI Plan and a trust will be established to hold RWH shares for this purpose. However, so long as the Company holds more than 50% of the outstanding shares of RWH capital stock, RWH shares reserved for grant under the LTI Plan are required to be purchased in the open market unless the Company agrees otherwise.

The LTI Plan, among other provisions, does not permit the transfer, sale, mortgage or encumbering of options, performance rights and restricted shares without the prior approval of the RWH Board. In the event of a change of control, the RWH Board, at its discretion, will determine whether, and how many, unvested options, performance rights and restricted shares will vest. In addition, if, in the RWH Board’s opinion, a participant acts fraudulently or dishonestly or is in breach of his obligations to Royal Wolf, the RWH Board may deem any options, performance rights and restricted shares held by or reserved for the participant to have lapsed or been forfeited.

As of September 30, 2013, the Royal Wolf Board of Directors has granted 865,000 performance rights to key management personnel under the LTI Plan. In FY 2013 and FY 2014, share-based compensation of $65,000 and $133,000, respectively, related to the LTI Plan has been recognized in the condensed statements of operations, with a corresponding benefit to equity.

	The Company is not involved in any material lawsuits or claims arising out of the normal course of business. The nature of its business is such that disputes can occasionally arise with employees, vendors (including suppliers and subcontractors) and customers over warranties, contract specifications and contract interpretations among other things. The Company assesses these matters on a case-by-case basis as they arise. Reserves are established, as required, based on its assessment of its exposure. The Company has insurance policies to cover general liability and workers compensation-related claims. In the opinion of management, the ultimate amount of liability not covered by insurance under pending litigation and claims, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operating results or cash flows.

	In conjunction with the acquisition of Southern Frac on October 1, 2012, GFNMC entered into an agreement with the 10% noncontrolling interest holder for a call option that provides that for the period commencing on April 1, 2013 through October 1, 2017, GFNMC may purchase the noncontrolling interest for an initial price of $1,500,000, with incremental increases of $250,000 for each of the subsequent seven six-month periods.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include all significant normal and recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. The accompanying results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2014. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto of the Company, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Unless otherwise indicated, references to “FY 2013” and “FY 2014” are to the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s functional currencies for its foreign operations are the respective local currencies, the Australian (“AUS”) and New Zealand (“NZ”) dollars in the Asia-Pacific area and the Canadian (“C”) dollar in North America. All adjustments resulting from the translation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements from the functional currency into reporting currency are recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters. All assets and liabilities are translated at the rates in effect at the balance sheet dates; and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average exchange rates during the periods. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated to the functional currency at the foreign exchange rate prevailing at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognized in the statement of operations. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated to the functional currency at foreign exchange rates prevailing at the dates the fair value was determined.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes include assumptions used in assigning value to identifiable intangible assets at the acquisition date, the assessment for impairment of goodwill, the assessment for impairment of other intangible assets, the allowance for doubtful accounts, share-based compensation expense, residual value of the lease fleet and deferred tax assets and liabilities. Assumptions and factors used in the estimates are evaluated on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the previous assumptions and factors have changed. The results of the analysis could result in adjustments to estimates.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value) and consist of primarily finished goods for containers, modular buildings and mobile offices held for sale or lease; as well as raw materials, work in-process and finished goods of manufactured portable liquid storage tank containers. Costs for leasing operations are assigned to individual items on the basis of specific identification and include expenditures incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing condition and location; while costs for manufactured units are determined using the first-in, first-out method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business. Expenses of marketing, selling and distribution to customers, as well as costs of completion, are estimated and are deducted from the estimated selling price to establish net realizable value. Inventories are comprised of the following (in thousands):

Lease Fleet

The Company has a fleet of storage, portable building, office and portable liquid storage tank containers, mobile offices, modular buildings and steps that it primarily leases to customers under operating lease agreements with varying terms. The value of the lease fleet (or lease or rental equipment) is recorded at cost and depreciated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful life (5 - 20 years), after the date the units are put in service, down to their estimated residual values (up to 70% of cost). In the opinion of management, estimated residual values are at or below net realizable values. The Company periodically reviews these depreciation policies in light of various factors, including the practices of the larger competitors in the industry, and its own historical experience. Costs incurred on lease fleet units subsequent to initial acquisition are capitalized when it is probable that future economic benefits in excess of the originally assessed performance will result; otherwise, they are expensed as incurred. At June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the gross costs of the lease fleet were $332,435,000 and $356,164,000, respectively.

Units in the lease fleet are also available for sale. The cost of sales of a unit in the lease fleet is recognized at the carrying amount at the date of sale.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date multiplied by the applicable tax rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is recorded for the amount of income tax payable or refundable for the period increased or decreased by the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period. The Company files U.S. Federal tax returns, multiple U.S. state (and state franchise) tax returns and Australian, New Zealand and Canadian tax returns. For U.S. Federal tax purposes, all periods subsequent to June 30, 2008 are subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and, for U.S. state tax purposes, with few exceptions, all periods subsequent to June 30, 2007 are subject to examination by the respective state’s taxation authorities. Generally, periods subsequent to June 30, 2008 are subject to examination by the respective taxation authorities in Australia, New Zealand and Canada. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded. In addition, the Company does not anticipate that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefit related to any particular tax position will change significantly within the next 12 months.

The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties, if any, will be to record such items as a component of income taxes.

Net Income per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods. Diluted net income per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. The potential dilutive securities (common stock equivalents) the Company had outstanding were warrants and stock options. The following is a reconciliation of weighted average shares outstanding used in calculating earnings per common share:

Potential common stock equivalents totaling 3,475,193 and 1,588,007 for FY 2013 and FY 2014, respectively, have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect is anti-dilutive.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Previously, in August 2010, the FASB, as result of a joint project with the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) to simplify lease accounting and improve the quality of and comparability of financial information for users, published proposed standards that would change the accounting and financial reporting for both lessee and lessor under ASC Topic 840, Leases. Since then, the FASB and IASB have been deliberating submitted comments about their 2010 proposals and other feedback from constituents. On May 16, 2013, both the FASB and the IASB issued nearly identical exposure drafts that retained the most significant change to lease accounting rules from the 2010 proposed standards, the elimination of the concept of off-balance sheet treatment for “operating leases” for lessees for the vast majority of lease contracts. However, the 2013 exposure drafts include significant modifications, among them the establishment of two types of lease contracts for both lessees and lessors. Instead of capital and operating leases, the proposed rules create two types of leases (both similar to capital leases for lessees), which the FASB and IASB refer to as “Type A” and “Type B.” In addition, the revised exposure drafts seek to correct issues, noted by many commenters, related to the pattern and classification of expense recognition as well as the definition of “lease term” and the treatment of variable lease payments under the 2010 proposed standards. The Company believes that the final standards, if issued in substantially the same form as the revised exposure drafts, would have a material effect in the presentation of its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In February 2013, the FASB updated the guidance within ASC 220, Comprehensive Income. The update requires companies to report, in one place, information about reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and changes in AOCI balances. For significant items reclassified out of AOCI to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period, reporting is required about the effect of the reclassifications on the respective line items in the statement where net income is presented. For items that are not reclassified to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period, a cross reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP is required. The above information must be presented in one place, either parenthetically on the face of the financial statements by income statement line item, or in a note. The updated guidance is to be applied prospectively, and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the new provisions of this accounting standard at the beginning of FY 2014, but its adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
