	Note 1. Organization and Business Operations
	General Finance Corporation (“GFN”) was incorporated in Delaware in October 2005. References to the “Company” in these Notes are to GFN and its consolidated subsidiaries. These subsidiaries include GFN U.S. Australasia Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GFN U.S.”); GFN North America Leasing Corporation , a Delaware corporation (“GFNNA Leasing”); GFN North America Corp., a Delaware corporation (“GFNNA”); GFN Manufacturing Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“GFNMC”), and its subsidiary, Southern Frac, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (collectively “Southern Frac”); Royal Wolf Holdings Limited, an Australian corporation publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (“RWH”), and its Australian and New Zealand subsidiaries (collectively, “Royal Wolf”); Pac-Van, Inc., an Indiana corporation, and its Canadian subsidiary, PV Acquisition Corp., an Alberta corporation (collectively “Pac-Van”); and Lone Star Tank Rental Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Lone Star”).
	The Company does business in three distinct, but related industries, mobile storage, modular space and liquid containment (which is collectively referred to as the “portable services industry”), in two geographic areas; the Asia-Pacific (or Pan-Pacific) area, consisting of Royal Wolf (which leases and sells storage containers, portable container buildings and freight containers in Australia and New Zealand) and North America, consisting of Pac-Van (which leases and sells storage, office and portable liquid storage tank containers, modular buildings and mobile offices) and Lone Star (which leases portable liquid storage tank containers and containment products, as well as provides certain fluid management services, to the oil and gas industry in the Permian and Eagle Ford basins of Texas), which are combined to form our North American leasing operations, and Southern Frac (which manufactures portable liquid storage tank containers).
	On May 31, 2011, the Company completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) in Australia of a noncontrolling interest in RWH. A total of 50,000,000 shares of capital stock were issued to the Australian market and an additional 188,526 shares were issued to the non-employee members of the RWH Board of Directors, the RWH chief executive officer and the RWH chief financial officer. At the IPO date and through June 30, 2014, GFN U.S. owned a direct (and the Company an indirect) majority interest of over 50% of Royal Wolf.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	'
	Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Basis of Presentation
	The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
	Unless otherwise indicated, references to “FY 2013” and “FY 2014” are to the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively.
	Certain reclassifications have been made to the FY 2013 presentation, the most significant being a revised segment presentation in Note 12.
	Principles of Consolidation
	The 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 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.
	Segment Information
	FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for the way companies report information about operating segments in annual financial statements. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. Based on the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 280 and the manner in which the chief operating decision maker analyzes the business, the Company has determined it has two separately reportable geographic areas that include four operating segments, North America (leasing and manufacturing, including corporate headquarters) and the Asia-Pacific area (the leasing operations of Royal Wolf).
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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.
	Cash Equivalents
	The Company considers highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash balances.
	Inventories
	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or fair value (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,
			2013			2014
	Finished goods		$	27,357		$	24,157
	Work in-process			1,680			2,011
	Raw materials			2,821			1,234
			$	31,858		$	27,402
	Derivative Financial Instruments
	The Company may use derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign currency and interest rate risks arising from operating, financing and investing activities. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. However, derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are accounted for as trading instruments. Derivative financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value. The gain or loss on the remeasurement to fair value on unhedged (or the ineffective portion of hedged) derivative financial instruments is recognized in the statement of operations.
	Accounting for Stock Options
	For the issuances of stock options, the Company follows the fair value provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation, which require recognition of employee share-based compensation expense in the statements of operations over the vesting period based on the fair value of the stock option at the grant date. For stock options granted to non-employee consultants, the Company recognizes compensation expense measured at their fair value at each reporting date. Therefore, the stock options issued to non-employee consultants are subject to periodic fair value adjustments recorded in share-based compensation over the vesting period.
	Fair Value
	Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in Note 6. Fair value estimates would involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect these estimates
	Property, Plant and Equipment
	Owned assets
	Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labor, the initial estimate (where relevant) of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located; and an appropriate allocation of production overhead, where applicable. Depreciation for property, plant and equipment is recorded on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related asset. The residual value, the useful life and the depreciation method applied to an asset are reassessed at least annually.
	Property, plant and equipment consist of the following (in thousands):
			Estimated			June 30,
			Useful Life			2013			2014
	Land			—		$	2,181		$	2,423
	Building and improvements			10 — 40 years			3,943			4,608
	Transportation and plant equipment (including capital lease assets)			3 — 20 years			22,605			34,934
	Furniture, fixtures and office equipment			3 — 10 years			5,142			7,286
	Construction in-process						87			134
							33,958			49,385
	Less accumulated depreciation and amortization						(14,118	)		(18,771	)
						$	19,840		$	30,614
	Capital leases
	Leases under which substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased assets are assumed by the Company are classified as capital leases. Other leases are classified as operating leases. A lease asset and a lease liability equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments, or the fair value of the leased item, whichever is the lower, are capitalized and recorded at the inception of the lease. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly to the statement of operations. Capitalized leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term.
	Operating leases
	Payments made under operating leases are expensed on the straight-line basis over the term of the lease, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased property. Where leases have fixed rate increases, these increases are accrued and amortized over the entire lease period, yielding a constant periodic expense over the term of the lease.
	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 2014, the gross costs of the lease fleet were $332,435,000 and $453,362,000, 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.
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	The Company periodically reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets and assesses when an event or change in circumstances indicates the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and the eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. The Company has determined that no impairment provision related to long-lived assets was required to be recorded as of June 30, 2013 and 2014.
	Goodwill
	The purchase consideration of acquired businesses have been allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based on the estimated fair values on the respective acquisition dates (see Note 4). Based on these values, the excess purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill. The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. FASB ASC Topic 350 prohibits the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives and requires these assets be reviewed for impairment. Goodwill recorded from acquisitions of businesses under asset purchase agreements is deductible for income tax purposes over 15 years, even though goodwill is not amortized for financial reporting purposes. The Company operates two reportable geographic areas and the vast majority of goodwill recorded was in the acquisitions of Royal Wolf, Pac-Van, Southern Frac and Lone Star. The Company performed an annual impairment test on goodwill at year end using the two-step process required under FASB ASC Topic 350. The first step was a screen for potential impairment, while the second step measured the amount of the impairment, if any, by determining the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill and comparing it to the carrying value of the goodwill. This would involve allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to its respective assets and liabilities (as if it had been acquired in a separate and individual business combination and the fair value was the price paid to acquire it), with the excess of the fair value over the amounts assigned being the implied fair value of goodwill.
	Effective July 1, 2012, the Company adopted the new qualitative assessment now allowable under ASC Topic 350. It will no longer be required for the Company to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless a determination is made based on a qualitative assessment that it is more likely than not (i.e., greater than 50%) that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Qualitative factors which could cause an impairment include (1) significant underperformance relative to historical, expected or projected future operating results; (2) significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired businesses or the strategy for our overall business; (3) significant changes during the period in the Company’s market capitalization relative to net book value; and (4) significant negative industry or general economic trends. If the Company did determine that fair value is likely less than the carrying amount, the quantitative two-step impairment test process discussed above would be applied. As of June 30, 2013 and 2014, the Company determined that it was not likely that the fair values of the goodwill of its operating units were less than their respective carrying amounts.
	The change in the balance of goodwill was as follows (in thousands):
			June 30,
			2013			2014
	Beginning of year		$	68,449		$	68,692
	Additions to goodwill			3,790			23,608
	Other adjustments, primarily foreign translation effect (a)			(3,547	)		866
	Impairment of goodwill			—			—
	End of year		$	68,692		$	93,166
(a)	Includes a $70 adjustment in FY 2014 to reduce the goodwill recorded from the acquisition of Southern Frac in FY 2013 as a result of pre-acquisition claims subsequent to June 30, 2013 that reduced the seller’s holdback note.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets include those with indefinite (trademark and trade name) and finite (primarily customer base and lists, non-compete agreements and deferred financing costs) useful lives. Customer base and lists and non-compete agreements are amortized on the straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit which range from one to fourteen years. Costs to obtaining long-term financing are deferred and amortized over the term of the related debt using the straight-line method. Amortizing the deferred financing costs using the straight-line method does not produce significantly different results than that of the effective interest method.
Intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands):
		June 30,
		2013			2014
Trademark and trade name		$	2,928		$	5,427
Customer base and lists			30,540			50,735
Non-compete agreements			7,523			13,611
Deferred financing costs			1,991			7,080
Other			1,605			1,951
			44,587			78,804
Less accumulated amortization			(28,185	)		(35,288	)
		$	16,402		$	43,516
The Company reviews intangible assets (those assets resulting from acquisitions) for impairment if it determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not (i.e., greater than 50%) that fair value might be less than the carrying amount. If the Company determines that fair value is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, then impairment would be quantitatively tested, using historical cash flows and other relevant facts and circumstances as the primary basis for estimates of future cash flows. If it determines that fair value is not likely to be less than the carrying amount, then no further testing would be required. As of June 30, 2013 and 2014, the Company determined that it was not likely that the fair values of intangible assets were less than the carrying amounts.
The estimated future amortization of intangible assets with finite useful lives as of June 30, 2014 is as follows (in thousands):
Year Ending June 30,
2015		$	8,774
2016			8,850
2017			6,938
2018			3,626
2019			2,463
Thereafter			7,438
		$	38,089
Defined Contribution Benefit Plan
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution benefit plans are recognized as an expense in the statement of operations as incurred. Contributions to defined contribution benefit plans in FY 2013 and FY 2014 were $1,582,000 and $1,638,000, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
The Company leases and sells new and used storage, office, building and portable liquid storage tank containers, modular buildings and mobile offices to its customers, as well as providing other ancillary products and services. Leases to customers generally qualify as operating leases unless there is a bargain purchase option at the end of the lease term. Revenue is recognized as earned in accordance with the lease terms established by the lease agreements and when collectability is reasonably assured.
Revenue from sales of the lease fleet is generally recognized upon delivery and when collectability is reasonably assured and revenue from the sales of manufactured units are recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the purchaser, generally upon shipment. Certain arrangements to sell units under long-term construction-type sales contracts are accounted for under the percentage of completion method. Under this method, income is recognized in proportion to the incurred costs to date under the contract to estimated total costs.
Unearned revenue includes end of lease services not yet performed by the Company (such as transport charges for the pick-up of a unit where the actual pick-up has not yet occurred as the unit is still leased), advance rentals and deposit payments.
Advertising
Advertising costs are generally expensed as incurred. Direct-response advertising costs, principally yellow page advertising, are monitored through call logs and advertising source codes, are capitalized when paid and amortized over the period in which the benefit is derived. However, the amortization period of the prepaid balance never exceeds 12 months. At June 30, 2014, prepaid advertising costs were approximately $35,000. There were no prepaid adverting costs at June 30, 2013. Advertising costs expensed were approximately $3,646,000 and $3,164,000 for FY 2013 and FY 2014, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company reports shipping and handling costs, primarily related to outbound freight in its North American manufacturing operations, as a component of selling and general expenses. Shipping and handling costs totaled $502,000 and $1,244,000 in FY 2013 and FY 2014, respectively.
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:
		Year Ended June 30,
		2013			2014
Basic			22,160,101			24,631,284
Assumed exercise of stock options			473,601			1,012,281
Diluted			22,633,702			25,643,565
Potential common stock equivalents totaling 1,696,997 and 1,140,539 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 May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606. ASU 2014-09 completes the joint effort by the FASB and IASB to improve financial reporting by creating common revenue recognition guidance for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). ASU 2014-09 applies to all companies that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for public entities for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is not permitted and entities have the choice to apply ASU 2014-09 either retrospectively to each reporting period presented or by recognizing the cumulative effect of applying ASU 2014-09 at the date of initial application and not adjusting comparative information. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of ASU 2014-09 and has not yet determined its impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) –Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Services Period (ASU 2014-12). The amendments in ASU 2014-12 provide guidance for determining compensation cost under specific circumstances when an employee is eligible to vest in an award regardless of whether the employee is rendering service on the date the performance target is achieved. ASU 2014-12 becomes effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2014-12 on its financial statements and disclosures, if any.

	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 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 June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2014, 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 redeemable after 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, the value of these shares, which totaled $37,000 at June 30, 2013 and were fully redeemed in FY 2014, were classified as a liability in the 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 to GFN 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 Stock is listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the symbol “GFNCP.”
	Dividends
	As of June 30, 2014, since issuance, dividends paid or payable totaled $61,000 for the Series B Preferred Stock.
	As of June 30, 2014, since issuance, dividends paid totaled $3,480,000 for the Series C Preferred Stock.
	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; and on February 5, 2013, the Board of Directors of Royal Wolf declared a dividend of AUS$0.045 per RWH share payable on April 3, 2012 to shareholders of record on March 19, 2013.

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 consolidated financial statements include the operations of the acquired businesses from the dates of acquisition.
	FY 2013 Acquisitions

	The estimated fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeded the purchase prices of Rockhampton Container Sales and Container Connection resulting in estimated bargain purchase gains of $55,000 and $105,000, respectively. These gains have been recorded as non-operating income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
	FY 2014 Acquisitions

Goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to expected corporate synergies, the assembled workforce and other factors. The goodwill recognized in the Southern Frac acquisition in FY 2013 is deductible for U.S. income tax purposes, but all other goodwill recognized during FY 2013 is not as it relates to non-domestic acquisitions. In FY 2014, the goodwill recognized in the Harper’s Hot Shot, Canadian Storage, Intermodal Kookaburra and DBCS acquisitions is not deductible for U.S. income tax purposes, but all other goodwill recognized during FY 2014 is deductible.
The Company incurred approximately $1,024,000 during FY 2013 and $1,175,000 during FY 2014 of incremental transaction costs associated with acquisition-related activity that were expensed as incurred and are included in selling and general expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
The accompanying consolidated statements of operations reflect the operating results of the Company following the date of acquisition of Lone Star and do not reflect the operating results of Lone Star prior to the acquisition date.

The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may have actually occurred had the acquisition taken place on the dates noted, or the future financial position or operating results of the Company. In addition, they do not consider any potential impacts of current market conditions on revenues, any staff or related expense increases or efficiencies or asset dispositions. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable as a result of the application of the purchase method of accounting and consist primarily of adjustments to depreciation and amortization of the fixed assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired, as well as to the interest expense on senior and other debt borrowings, along with the related income tax effect. Revenues and net income for Lone Star since the date of acquisition in FY 2014 totaled $14,658,000 and $1,990,000, respectively. The FY 2013 and FY 2014 operating results of all other acquisitions prior to their respective dates of acquisition were not included in the pro forma results as they were not considered significant.

	Note 5. Senior and Other Debt
	Royal Wolf Senior Credit Facility
	Prior to May 8, 2014, Royal Wolf had an approximately $121,000,000 (AUS$101,000,000 and NZ$29,200,000) senior credit facility with Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (“ANZ”), which was secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company’s Australian and New Zealand subsidiaries (the “ANZ Credit Facility”). Effective May 8, 2014, Royal Wolf refinanced the ANZ Credit Facility to, among other things, increase the maximum borrowing capacity to $165,183,000 (AUS$175,000,000), add Commonwealth Bank of Australia (“CBA”) through a common terms deed arrangement with ANZ and generally improve the financial covenants (the “ANZ/CBA Credit Facility”). Under the common deed arrangement of the ANZ/CBA Credit Facility, ANZ’s proportionate share is $99,110,000 (AUS$105,000,000) and CBA’s proportionate share is $66,073,000 (AUS$70,000,000). The ANZ/CBA Credit Facility has $117,988,000 (AUS$125,000,000) maturing on July 31, 2017 (Facility A), and $47,195,000 (AUS$50,000,000) maturing on July 31, 2019 (Facility B).
	Borrowings under the ANZ/CBA Credit Facility bear interest at the bank bill swap interest rate in Australia (BBSY) or New Zealand (BKBM), plus a margin of 1.10% - 1.85% per annum on the Facility A and 1.35% - 2.15% on the Facility B, depending on the net debt leverage ratio (“NDLR”), as defined. The CBA proportionate share has a minimum margin that is 0.10% higher than the ANZ proportionate share. At June 30, 2014, the 30-day and 90-day BBSY and BKBM was 2.7233% and 2.7550% and 3.48% and 3.69%, respectively.
	The ANZ/CBA Credit Facility also includes a $2,832,000 (AUS$3,000,000) sub-facility to, among other things, facilitate direct and global payments using electronic banking services. The ANZ/CBA Credit Facility, as amended, is subject to certain financial and other customary covenants, including, among other things, compliance with specified interest coverage and net debt ratios based on earnings before interest, income taxes, impairment, depreciation and amortization and other non-operating costs and income (“EBITDA”) on a semi-annual basis and that borrowings may not exceed a multiple of three times EBITDA, as defined.
	As of June 30, 2014, total borrowings (all under Facility A) and availability under the ANZ/CBA Credit Facility totaled $111,270,000 (AUS$117,883,000) and $23,345,000 (AUS$24,732,000), respectively.
	The above amounts were translated based upon the exchange rate of one Australian dollar to $0.9439 U.S. dollar and one New Zealand dollar to $0.9327 Australian dollar at June 30, 2014.
	North American Leasing 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 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 $120,000,000, five-year senior secured revolving credit facility with a syndicate led by Wells Fargo, that also included HSBC Bank USA, NA (“HSBC”), and the Private Bank and Trust Company (the “Wells Fargo Credit Facility”).
	On February 7, 2014, Pac-Van amended the Wells Fargo Credit Facility to, among other things, increase the maximum borrowing capacity from $120,000,000 to $200,000,000 and add two new lenders (OneWest Bank and Capital One) to the syndicate. Further, on April 7, 2014, in conjunction with the acquisition of Lone Star (see Note 4), and on May 23, 2014, the Wells Fargo Credit Facility was amended and restated to, among other things, include Lone Star as a co-borrower and to allow for the funding of the interest requirements of the public offering of unsecured senior notes (see below). The Wells Fargo Credit Facility effectively not only finances the Company’s North American leasing operations, but also the funding requirements for the Series C Preferred Stock (see Note 3), the term loan with Credit Suisse AG, Singapore Branch (see below) and the public offering of unsecured senior notes.
	The maximum amount of intercompany dividends that Pac-Van and Lone Star are allowed to pay in each fiscal year to GFN for the funding requirements of GFN’s senior and other debt and the Series C Preferred Stock are (a) the lesser of $5,000,000 for the Series C Preferred Stock 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; (b) the lesser of $3,125,000 for the term loan with Credit Suisse AG, Singapore Branch or the actual annual interest to be paid; and (c) $6,120,000 for the public offering of unsecured senior notes or the actual amount of annual interest required to be paid; provided that (i) the payment of such dividends does not cause a default or event of default; (ii) each of Pac-Van and Lone Star is solvent; (iii) excess availability, as defined, is $5,000,000 or more under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility; and (iv) the fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined, will be greater than 1.25 to 1.00 and the dividends are paid no earlier than ten business days prior to the date they are due.
	Borrowings under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility accrue interest, at the Company’s option, either at the base rate, plus 0.5% and a range of 1.00% to 1.50%, or the LIBOR rate, plus 1.0% and a range of 2.50% to 3.00%; and, subject to certain conditions, the amount that may be borrowed may increase by $20,000,000 to a maximum of $220,000,000. The Wells Fargo Credit Facility contains, among other things, certain financial covenants, including fixed charge coverage ratios, and other covenants, representations, warranties, indemnification provisions, and events of default that are customary for senior secured credit facilities, including the cessation of involvement of Ronald F. Valenta, the Company’s chairman of the board and chief executive officer, in the operations and management of GFN, Pac-Van or Lone Star as a director or officer.
	At June 30, 2014, borrowings and availability under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility totaled $81,483,000 and $77,814,000, 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 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 June 30, 2014, borrowings outstanding and availability under the Wells Fargo SF Credit Facility totaled $925,000 and $6,523,000, respectively.
	Credit Suisse Term Loan
	On March 31, 2014, the Company, at the corporate level, entered into a $25,000,000 facility agreement with Credit Suisse AG, Singapore Branch (“Credit Suisse Term Loan”) as part of the financing for the acquisition of Lone Star (see Note 4) and, on April 3, 2014, the Company borrowed the $25,000,000 available to it. The Credit Suisse Term Loan provides that the amount borrowed will bear interest at LIBOR plus 7.50% per year, will be payable quarterly, and that all principal and interest will mature two years from the date that the Company borrowed the $25,000,000. In addition, the Credit Suisse Term Loan is secured by a first ranking pledge over all shares of RWH owned by GFN U.S., requires a certain coverage maintenance ratio in U.S. dollars based on the value of the RWH shares and, among other things, that an amount equal to six-months interest be deposited in an interest reserve account pledged to secure repayment of all amounts borrowed.
	8.125% Senior Notes
	On June 18, 2014, the Company completed the sale of unsecured senior notes (the “Senior Notes”) in a public offering for an aggregate principal amount of $72,000,000, which represented 100% of the principal amount and included the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option of $9,000,000. Net proceeds were $69,069,000, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering costs of approximately $2,931,000. The Senior Notes were issued in minimum denominations of $25 and integral multiples of $25 in excess thereof and pursuant to the First Supplemental Indenture (the “First Supplemental Indenture”) dated as of June 18, 2014 by and between the Company and Wells Fargo, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The First Supplemental Indenture supplements the Indenture entered into by and between the Company and the Trustee dated as of June 18, 2014 (the “Base Indenture” and, together with the First Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”). The Senior Notes bear interest at the rate of 8.125% per annum, mature on July 31, 2021 and are not subject to any sinking fund. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable quarterly in arrears on January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31, commencing on July 31, 2014. The Company used $68,600,000 of the net proceeds (plus an additional $4,000,000 of GFN corporate cash on hand) to reduce indebtedness at Pac-Van and Lone Star under the Wells Fargo Credit Facility, pursuant to the requirement that at least 80% of the gross proceeds, or $57,600,000, be used for that purpose in order to permit the payment of intercompany dividends by Pac-Van and Lone Star to GFN to fund the interest requirements of the Senior Notes.
	The Senior Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future unsecured senior debt and senior in right of payment to all of its existing and future subordinated debt. The Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to any of the Company’s existing and future secured debt, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. The Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries and are not guaranteed by any of the Company’s subsidiaries.
	The Company may, at its option, prior to July 31, 2017, redeem the Senior Notes in whole or in part upon the payment of 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes being redeemed plus any additional amount required by the Indenture. In addition, the Company may from time to time redeem up to 35% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Senior Notes before July 31, 2017 with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 108.125% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. If the Company sells certain of its assets or experience specific kinds of changes in control, as defined, it must offer to purchase the Senior Notes.
	The Company may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, on or after July 31, 2017, redeem the Senior Notes in whole or in part. The Senior Notes will be redeemable at a redemption price initially equal to 106.094% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes (and which declines on each year on July 31) plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. On and after any redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the redeemed Senior Notes.
	The Indenture contains covenants which, among other things, limit the Company’s ability to make certain payments, to pay dividends and to incur additional indebtedness if the incurrence of such indebtedness would cause the company’s consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined in the Indenture, to be below 2.0 to 1.0.
	The Senior Notes are listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the symbol “GFNSL.”
	Other
	Other debt totaled $12,199,000 at June 30, 2014.
	At June 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under its senior credit facilities.
	The weighted-average interest rate in the Asia-Pacific area was 6.1% and 5.7% 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 4.8% and 4.1% in FY 2013 and FY 2014, respectively, which does not include the effect of the amortization of deferred financing costs and accretion of interest.

	Note 6. Financial Instruments
	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 consolidated balances sheets and statements of operations are as follows (in thousands):
	Type of Derivative Contract	Balance Sheet Classification		Derivative - Fair Value

	Forward-Exchange Contracts	Unrealized foreign currency exchange gain (loss) and other			820				(939	)
	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 outstanding borrowings in the Asia-Pacific area. 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 2013 and FY 2014, the ineffective portion of this cash flow hedge recorded in interest expense was an unrealized gain (loss) of $229,000 and $(219,000), respectively.
	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 June 30, 2014, 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								June 30, 2014

	Fair Value of Combined Contracts	$	(1,210	)		$	—			$	(1,535	)	$	—
	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 June 30, 2014, there were 58 open forward exchange contracts that mature between July 2014 and April 2015, as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Fair Value of Combined Contracts	$	692			$	21			$	(230	)	$	—
	In FY 2013 and FY 2014, net unrealized and realized foreign exchange gains (losses) totaled $(272,000) and $229,000, and $217,000 and $(628,000) respectively.
	Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
	The fair value of the Company’s borrowings under the Senior Notes at June 30, 2014 was determined based on a Level 1 input and for its senior credit facilities at June 30, 2013 and 2014, 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”). 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 and 2014 was determined to be approximately $156,098,000 and 291,781,000, respectively. The Company also determined that the fair value of its other debt of $3,612,000 and $12,199,000 at June 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively, approximated or would not vary significantly from their carrying values.
	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.
	Credit Risk and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
	Financial instruments potentially exposing the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of receivables. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables are limited due to the large number of customers spread over a large geographic area in many industry sectors and no single customer accounted for more than 10% our consolidated revenues or trade receivables during and at the periods presented. However, in North America a significant portion of the Company’s business activity is with companies in the construction and oil and gas industries. Revenues and receivables from the construction industry totaled $24,953,000 and $4,177,000 during FY 2013 and at June 30, 2013, respectively; and $26,915,000 and $5,229,000 during FY 2014 and at June 30, 2014, respectively. In our North American leasing operations, revenues of $28,423,000 and receivables of $23,276,000 during FY 2014 and at June 30, 2014 were from the oil and gas industry. In addition, substantially all of the Company’s North American manufacturing business at Southern Frac during FY 2013 and FY 2014 were from the oil and gas industry.
	The Company’s receivables related to sales of lease inventories and fleet are generally secured by the equipment sold to the customer. The Company’s receivables related to its leasing operations are primarily amounts generated from both off-site and on-site customers. The Company has the right to repossess lease equipment for nonpayment. It is the Company’s policy that all customers who wish to purchase or lease containers on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures and the Company will agree to terms with customers believed to be creditworthy. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Company’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. Net allowance for doubtful accounts provided and uncollectible accounts written off, net of recoveries and other, was $945,000 and $1,090,000 and $2,994,000 and $1,464,000 for FY 2013 and FY 2014, respectively. The translation gain (loss) to the allowance for doubtful accounts for FY 2013 and FY 2014 was $(118,000) and $43,000, respectively.
	With respect to credit risk arising from the other significant financial assets of the Company, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale financial assets and certain derivative instruments, the Company’s exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counter party, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. As the counter party for derivative instruments is nearly always a bank, the Company has assessed this as a low risk.

Equity Plans	'
	Note 9. 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”), non-qualified stock options that vest over varying periods that are dependent on the attainment of certain defined EBITDA and other targets (“performance-based”) and non-vested equity shares. At June 30, 2014, 121,860 shares remain available for grant.
	On January 31, 2013 (“January 2013 Grant”), the Company granted options to three key employees of Southern Frac to purchase a total of 70,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to the closing market price of the Company’s common stock as of that date, or $4.95 per share. The January 2013 Grant consists of 40,000 performance-based options that vest over 43.5 months, subject to performance conditions based on achieving cumulative EBITDA and indebtedness targets for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2013 - 2015, and 30,000 time-based options that vest over five years.
	On June 7, 2013 and June 13, 2013 (collectively, the “June 2013 Grants”), the Company granted time-based options to 32 officers and key employees of GFN, Pac-Van and Southern Frac and one non-employee consultants to purchase 158,500 and 120,000 shares of common stock, respectively, at an exercise price equal to the closing market price of the Company’s common stock as of those dates, or $4.43 and $4.50 per share, respectively. The options under the June 2013 Grants vest over three years from the respective date of grant.
	In FY 2013, the weighted-average fair value of the stock options granted to officers and key employees was $3.23, determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions: a risk-free interest rate of 1.45% - 1.65%, an expected life of 7.5 years, an expected volatility of 73.1% - 77.5% and no expected dividend.
	On June 19, 2014 (the “June 2014 Grant”), the Company granted time-based options to 13 key employees of Pac-Van to purchase 45,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to the closing market price of the Company’s common stock as of that date, or $9.25 per share. The options under the June 2014 Grant vest over 39 months from the date of grant. The weighted-average fair value of the stock options in the June 2014 Grant was $6.35, determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions: a risk-free interest rate of 2.18%, an expected life of 7.5 years, an expected volatility of 69.6% and no expected dividend.
	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:
	Fair value of stock options	$0.81 - $6.35
	Assumptions used:
	Risk-free interest rate	1.19% - 4.8%
	Expected life (in years)	7.5
	Expected volatility	26.5% - 84.6%
	Expected dividends	—
	At June 30, 2014, the weighted-average fair value of the stock options granted to non-employee consultants was $5.11, determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions: a risk-free interest rate of 2.17% - 2.35%, an expected life of 7.9 - 9.0 years, an expected volatility of 69.6% and no expected dividend.

	At June 30, 2014, outstanding time-based options and performance-based options totaled 1,208,950 and 943,870, respectively. Also at that date, the Company’s market price for its common stock was $9.50 per share, which was above the exercise prices of all of the outstanding stock options. As a result, the intrinsic value of the outstanding stock options at that date was $8,390,000. Share-based compensation of $5,277,000 related to stock options has been recognized in the consolidated statements of operations, with a corresponding benefit to equity, from inception through June 30, 2014. At that date, there remains $1,347,000 of unrecognized compensation expense to be recorded on a straight-line basis over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 1.2 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 39 months from the date of grant.
	On December 5, 2013, the Company granted a total of 18,295 non-vested equity shares to the five non-employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors at a value equal to the closing market price of the Company’s common stock as of that date, or $6.15 per share, which vest one year from the date of grant.
	On February 11, 2014, the Company granted a total of 3,424 non-vested equity shares to a non-employee member of the Company’s Board of Directors at a value equal to the closing market price of the Company’s common stock as of that date, or $6.571 per share, which vest one year from the date of grant.
	On June 19, 2014, the Company granted a total of 68,601 non-vested equity shares to 17 officers and key employees of GFN, Southern Frac and Lone Star at a value equal to the closing market price of the Company’s common stock as of that date, or $9.25 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, 2015 and 2016 and would be expected to vest 30 months from the date of grant.
	Share-based compensation of $248,000 related to non-vested equity shares and has been recognized in the consolidated statements of operations, with a corresponding benefit to equity, from inception through June 30, 2014. At that date, there remains $1,032,000 of unrecognized compensation expense to be recorded on a straight-line basis over the remaining vesting period of over approximately 2.25 years, 0.49 years, 0.66 years and 2.5 years for the June 7, 2013, December 5, 2013, February 11, 2014 and June 19, 2014 non-vested equity grants, respectively.
	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 June 30, 2014, the Royal Wolf Board of Directors has granted 1,359,000 performance rights to key management personnel under the LTI Plan. In FY 2013 and FY 2014, share-based compensation of $488,000 and $840,000, respectively, related to the LTI Plan has been recognized in the consolidated 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.

	Note 12. Segment Reporting
	Due to the acquisition of Lone Star in the fourth quarter of FY 2014, the Company re-evaluated the identification of its reportable segments under ASC Topic 280 (see Note 2). As a result of this evaluation, the Company added Lone Star as an operating segment and, along with Pac-Van, includes it as a part of the North American leasing operations. Southern Frac, which is also an operating segment, is the Company’s North American manufacturing operations and, along with the North American leasing operations, forms the North America geographic segment. These changes to our reporting segments are consistent with the way management evaluates the performance of operations, develops strategy and allocates capital resources. All prior period disclosures have been adjusted conform to the new presentation.
	We have two geographic areas that include four operating segments; the Asia-Pacific area, consisting of the leasing operations of Royal Wolf, and, as discussed above, North America, consisting of the combined leasing operations of Pac-Van and Lone Star, and the manufacturing operations of Southern Frac. Discrete financial data on each of the Company’s products is not available and it would be impractical to collect and maintain financial data in such a manner. In managing the Company’s business, senior management focuses on primarily growing its leasing revenues and operating cash flow (EBITDA), and investing in its lease fleet through capital purchases and acquisitions.
	The tables below represent the Company’s revenues from external customers, share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, operating income, interest income and expense, expenditures for additions to long-lived assets (consisting of lease fleet and property, plant and equipment), long-lived assets and goodwill; as attributed to its geographic and operating segments (in thousands):

Summary_of_Significant_Account1

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Basis of Presentation	'
	Basis of Presentation
	The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
	Unless otherwise indicated, references to “FY 2013” and “FY 2014” are to the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively.
	Certain reclassifications have been made to the FY 2013 presentation, the most significant being a revised segment presentation in Note 12.
Principles of Consolidation	'
	Principles of Consolidation
	The 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	'
	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 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.
Segment Information	'
	Segment Information
	FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for the way companies report information about operating segments in annual financial statements. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. Based on the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 280 and the manner in which the chief operating decision maker analyzes the business, the Company has determined it has two separately reportable geographic areas that include four operating segments, North America (leasing and manufacturing, including corporate headquarters) and the Asia-Pacific area (the leasing operations of Royal Wolf).
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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.
Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash Equivalents
	The Company considers highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash balances.
Inventories	'
	Inventories
	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or fair value (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,
			2013			2014
	Finished goods		$	27,357		$	24,157
	Work in-process			1,680			2,011
	Raw materials			2,821			1,234
			$	31,858		$	27,402
Derivative Financial Instruments	'
	Derivative Financial Instruments
	The Company may use derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign currency and interest rate risks arising from operating, financing and investing activities. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. However, derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are accounted for as trading instruments. Derivative financial instruments are recognized initially at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value. The gain or loss on the remeasurement to fair value on unhedged (or the ineffective portion of hedged) derivative financial instruments is recognized in the statement of operations.
Accounting for Stock Options	'
	Accounting for Stock Options
	For the issuances of stock options, the Company follows the fair value provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation, which require recognition of employee share-based compensation expense in the statements of operations over the vesting period based on the fair value of the stock option at the grant date. For stock options granted to non-employee consultants, the Company recognizes compensation expense measured at their fair value at each reporting date. Therefore, the stock options issued to non-employee consultants are subject to periodic fair value adjustments recorded in share-based compensation over the vesting period.
Fair Value	'
	Fair Value
	Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in Note 6. Fair value estimates would involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect these estimates
Property, Plant and Equipment	'
	Property, Plant and Equipment
	Owned assets
	Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labor, the initial estimate (where relevant) of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located; and an appropriate allocation of production overhead, where applicable. Depreciation for property, plant and equipment is recorded on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related asset. The residual value, the useful life and the depreciation method applied to an asset are reassessed at least annually.
	Property, plant and equipment consist of the following (in thousands):
			Estimated			June 30,
			Useful Life			2013			2014
	Land			—		$	2,181		$	2,423
	Building and improvements			10 — 40 years			3,943			4,608
	Transportation and plant equipment (including capital lease assets)			3 — 20 years			22,605			34,934
	Furniture, fixtures and office equipment			3 — 10 years			5,142			7,286
	Construction in-process						87			134
							33,958			49,385
	Less accumulated depreciation and amortization						(14,118	)		(18,771	)
						$	19,840		$	30,614
	Capital leases
	Leases under which substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased assets are assumed by the Company are classified as capital leases. Other leases are classified as operating leases. A lease asset and a lease liability equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments, or the fair value of the leased item, whichever is the lower, are capitalized and recorded at the inception of the lease. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly to the statement of operations. Capitalized leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term.
	Operating leases
	Payments made under operating leases are expensed on the straight-line basis over the term of the lease, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased property. Where leases have fixed rate increases, these increases are accrued and amortized over the entire lease period, yielding a constant periodic expense over the term of the lease.
Lease Fleet	'
	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 2014, the gross costs of the lease fleet were $332,435,000 and $453,362,000, 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.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	'
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	The Company periodically reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets and assesses when an event or change in circumstances indicates the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and the eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. The Company has determined that no impairment provision related to long-lived assets was required to be recorded as of June 30, 2013 and 2014.
Goodwill	'
	Goodwill
	The purchase consideration of acquired businesses have been allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based on the estimated fair values on the respective acquisition dates (see Note 4). Based on these values, the excess purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill. The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. FASB ASC Topic 350 prohibits the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives and requires these assets be reviewed for impairment. Goodwill recorded from acquisitions of businesses under asset purchase agreements is deductible for income tax purposes over 15 years, even though goodwill is not amortized for financial reporting purposes. The Company operates two reportable geographic areas and the vast majority of goodwill recorded was in the acquisitions of Royal Wolf, Pac-Van, Southern Frac and Lone Star. The Company performed an annual impairment test on goodwill at year end using the two-step process required under FASB ASC Topic 350. The first step was a screen for potential impairment, while the second step measured the amount of the impairment, if any, by determining the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill and comparing it to the carrying value of the goodwill. This would involve allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to its respective assets and liabilities (as if it had been acquired in a separate and individual business combination and the fair value was the price paid to acquire it), with the excess of the fair value over the amounts assigned being the implied fair value of goodwill.
	Effective July 1, 2012, the Company adopted the new qualitative assessment now allowable under ASC Topic 350. It will no longer be required for the Company to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless a determination is made based on a qualitative assessment that it is more likely than not (i.e., greater than 50%) that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Qualitative factors which could cause an impairment include (1) significant underperformance relative to historical, expected or projected future operating results; (2) significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired businesses or the strategy for our overall business; (3) significant changes during the period in the Company’s market capitalization relative to net book value; and (4) significant negative industry or general economic trends. If the Company did determine that fair value is likely less than the carrying amount, the quantitative two-step impairment test process discussed above would be applied. As of June 30, 2013 and 2014, the Company determined that it was not likely that the fair values of the goodwill of its operating units were less than their respective carrying amounts.
	The change in the balance of goodwill was as follows (in thousands):
			June 30,
			2013			2014
	Beginning of year		$	68,449		$	68,692
	Additions to goodwill			3,790			23,608
	Other adjustments, primarily foreign translation effect (a)			(3,547	)		866
	Impairment of goodwill			—			—
	End of year		$	68,692		$	93,166
	(a)	Includes a $70 adjustment in FY 2014 to reduce the goodwill recorded from the acquisition of Southern Frac in FY 2013 as a result of pre-acquisition claims subsequent to June 30, 2013 that reduced the seller’s holdback note.
Intangible Assets	'
	Intangible Assets
	Intangible assets include those with indefinite (trademark and trade name) and finite (primarily customer base and lists, non-compete agreements and deferred financing costs) useful lives. Customer base and lists and non-compete agreements are amortized on the straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit which range from one to fourteen years. Costs to obtaining long-term financing are deferred and amortized over the term of the related debt using the straight-line method. Amortizing the deferred financing costs using the straight-line method does not produce significantly different results than that of the effective interest method.
	Intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands):
			June 30,
			2013			2014
	Trademark and trade name		$	2,928		$	5,427
	Customer base and lists			30,540			50,735
	Non-compete agreements			7,523			13,611
	Deferred financing costs			1,991			7,080
	Other			1,605			1,951
				44,587			78,804
	Less accumulated amortization			(28,185	)		(35,288	)
			$	16,402		$	43,516
	The Company reviews intangible assets (those assets resulting from acquisitions) for impairment if it determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not (i.e., greater than 50%) that fair value might be less than the carrying amount. If the Company determines that fair value is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, then impairment would be quantitatively tested, using historical cash flows and other relevant facts and circumstances as the primary basis for estimates of future cash flows. If it determines that fair value is not likely to be less than the carrying amount, then no further testing would be required. As of June 30, 2013 and 2014, the Company determined that it was not likely that the fair values of intangible assets were less than the carrying amounts.
	The estimated future amortization of intangible assets with finite useful lives as of June 30, 2014 is as follows (in thousands):
	Year Ending June 30,
	2015		$	8,774
	2016			8,850
	2017			6,938
	2018			3,626
	2019			2,463
	Thereafter			7,438
			$	38,089
Defined Contribution Benefit Plan	'
	Defined Contribution Benefit Plan
	Obligations for contributions to defined contribution benefit plans are recognized as an expense in the statement of operations as incurred. Contributions to defined contribution benefit plans in FY 2013 and FY 2014 were $1,582,000 and $1,638,000, respectively.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company leases and sells new and used storage, office, building and portable liquid storage tank containers, modular buildings and mobile offices to its customers, as well as providing other ancillary products and services. Leases to customers generally qualify as operating leases unless there is a bargain purchase option at the end of the lease term. Revenue is recognized as earned in accordance with the lease terms established by the lease agreements and when collectability is reasonably assured.
	Revenue from sales of the lease fleet is generally recognized upon delivery and when collectability is reasonably assured and revenue from the sales of manufactured units are recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the purchaser, generally upon shipment. Certain arrangements to sell units under long-term construction-type sales contracts are accounted for under the percentage of completion method. Under this method, income is recognized in proportion to the incurred costs to date under the contract to estimated total costs.
	Unearned revenue includes end of lease services not yet performed by the Company (such as transport charges for the pick-up of a unit where the actual pick-up has not yet occurred as the unit is still leased), advance rentals and deposit payments.
Advertising	'
	Advertising
	Advertising costs are generally expensed as incurred. Direct-response advertising costs, principally yellow page advertising, are monitored through call logs and advertising source codes, are capitalized when paid and amortized over the period in which the benefit is derived. However, the amortization period of the prepaid balance never exceeds 12 months. At June 30, 2014, prepaid advertising costs were approximately $35,000. There were no prepaid adverting costs at June 30, 2013. Advertising costs expensed were approximately $3,646,000 and $3,164,000 for FY 2013 and FY 2014, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Costs	'
	Shipping and Handling Costs
	The Company reports shipping and handling costs, primarily related to outbound freight in its North American manufacturing operations, as a component of selling and general expenses. Shipping and handling costs totaled $502,000 and $1,244,000 in FY 2013 and FY 2014, respectively.
Income Taxes	'
	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	'
	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:
			Year Ended June 30,
			2013			2014
	Basic			22,160,101			24,631,284
	Assumed exercise of stock options			473,601			1,012,281
	Diluted			22,633,702			25,643,565
	Potential common stock equivalents totaling 1,696,997 and 1,140,539 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	'
	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 May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606. ASU 2014-09 completes the joint effort by the FASB and IASB to improve financial reporting by creating common revenue recognition guidance for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). ASU 2014-09 applies to all companies that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for public entities for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is not permitted and entities have the choice to apply ASU 2014-09 either retrospectively to each reporting period presented or by recognizing the cumulative effect of applying ASU 2014-09 at the date of initial application and not adjusting comparative information. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of ASU 2014-09 and has not yet determined its impact on its consolidated financial statements.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) –Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Services Period (ASU 2014-12). The amendments in ASU 2014-12 provide guidance for determining compensation cost under specific circumstances when an employee is eligible to vest in an award regardless of whether the employee is rendering service on the date the performance target is achieved. ASU 2014-12 becomes effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2014-12 on its financial statements and disclosures, if any.
