MOBILE MINI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES — NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

NOTE A — Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles applicable to interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management of Mobile Mini, Inc. (Mobile Mini or the Company), all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The local currency of the Company’s foreign operations is converted to U.S. currency for the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for each period being presented and the Company is subject to foreign exchange rate fluctuations in connection with the Company’s European and Canadian operations.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2008, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.

The results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2009. Historically, Mobile Mini experiences some seasonality each year which has caused lower utilization rates for the Company’s lease fleet and a marginal decrease in cash flow during the first half of the year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2008, consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 2, 2009.

Mobile Mini has evaluated subsequent events through November 9, 2009, the day it filed its report on Form 10-Q with the SEC for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.

NOTE B — Acquisition of Mobile Storage Group

On June 27, 2008, the Company acquired Mobile Storage Group, Inc. (MSG) and its subsidiaries (the Merger). The discussion of the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations includes the results of the combined operations with MSG since June 27, 2008.

The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been adjusted in 2009 as follows in thousands:

Receivables	$	(619	)
Inventories		(184	)
Lease fleet, net		(13,100	)

NOTE C — Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards CodificationEffective July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) became the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. The historical GAAP hierarchy was eliminated and the ASC became the only level of authoritative GAAP, other than guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The codification was effective for

7

MOBILE MINI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES — NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited) — Continued

interim and annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009, except for certain nonpublic nongovernmental entities. The Company’s accounting policies were not affected by the conversion to ASC.

Fair Value Measurements. In September 2006, the FASB issued guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued additional guidance which deferred the effective date for the Company to January 1, 2009 for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (that is, at least annually). The Company adopted the deferred provisions of this guidance on January 1, 2009. The adoption of these provisions did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Interim Disclosures about Fair Value.In April 2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance that requires disclosures by publicly traded companies about the fair value of financial instruments for interim periods as well as in annual financial statements. This guidance is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and was early adopted by the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, and had no impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets or statements of income or cash flows.

Business Combinations.On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance for business combinations as issued by the FASB. The new accounting guidance establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, as well as the goodwill acquired. Significant changes from previous guidance resulting from this new guidance include the expansion of the definitions of a “business” and a “business combination.” For all business combinations (whether partial, full or step acquisitions), the acquirer will record 100% of all assets and liabilities of the acquired business, including goodwill, generally at their fair values; contingent consideration will be recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date and; for certain arrangements, changes in fair value will be recognized in earnings until settlement; and acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs will be expensed rather than treated as part of the cost of the acquisition. The new accounting guidance also establishes disclosure requirements to enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. Because the majority of the provisions of the new accounting guidance are applicable to future transactions, the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination as issued by the FASB. The new guidance amends the provisions previously issued by the FASB related to the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting and disclosures for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations. The new guidance eliminates the distinction between contractual and non-contractual contingencies, including the initial recognition and measurement. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Determining the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance for the determination of the useful life of intangible assets as issued by the FASB. The new guidance amends the factors that should be considered in developing the renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. The new guidance also requires expanded disclosure regarding the determination of intangible asset useful lives. Because this accounting guidance is applicable to future transactions, the adoption of did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent Events. On April 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance related to subsequent events as issued by the FASB. The new requirement establishes the accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were or were available to be issued. The adoption of these provisions did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 1 for additional discussion of the Company’s evaluation of subsequent events.

MOBILE MINI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES — NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited) — Continued

Transfers of Financial Assets.In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance that changes the information a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about the transfer of financial assets and continuing interests held in transferred financial assets. The standard amends previous accounting guidance by removing the concept of qualified special purpose entities. This accounting standard is effective for the Company for transfers occurring on or after January 1, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this accounting standard to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Fair Value Measurement of Liabilities. In August 2009, FASB issued guidance providing clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following techniques:

     1. A valuation technique that uses:

          a. The quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset.

          b. Quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets.

2. Another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles in the FASB’s guidance (two examples would be an income approach or a market approach).

This guidance also clarifies that (i) when estimating fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability and (ii) both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.

Multiple Element Arrangements. In September 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to the revenue recognition of multiple element arrangements. The new guidance states that if vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, companies will be required to develop a best estimate of the selling price to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. This guidance is effective for the Company for arrangements entered into after January 1, 2010. The Company currently does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.

NOTE D — Fair Value Measurements

The Company 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. 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, the Company established three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

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 for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows (in thousands):

				Quoted
				Prices in
				Active		Significant
				Markets for		Other			Significant
				Identical		Observable			Unobservable
				Assets		Inputs			Inputs		Valuation

September 30, 2009:
Interest rate swap agreements	$	(9,064	)	$	—	$	(9,064	)	$	—		(1	)

(1) The Company’s interest rate swap agreements are not traded on a market exchange; therefore, the fair values are determined using valuation models which include assumptions about the LIBOR yield curve at the reporting dates as well as counter party credit risk and the Company’s own non-performance risk. The Company has consistently applied these calculation techniques to all periods presented. At September 30, 2009, the fair value of interest rate swap agreements is recorded in accrued liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE E — Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company determines the estimated fair value of financial instruments using available market information and valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in estimating fair values. Accordingly, the estimates may not be indicative of the amounts it could realize in current market exchange.

The carrying amounts of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair values based on the liquidity of these financial instruments or based on their short-term nature. The carrying amounts of the Company’s borrowings under its credit facility and notes payable approximate fair value. The fair values of the Company’s notes payable and credit facility are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of the Company’s notes payable and credit facility debt at December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2009, approximated their respective book values. The fair value of the Company’s Senior Notes at December 31, 2008 ($345.8 million principal amount outstanding) and September 30, 2009 ($346.3 million principal amount outstanding), was approximately $244.0 million and $340.4 million, respectively. The determination for fair value is based on the latest sales price at the end of each period obtained from a third-party institution.

Note F — Earnings Per Share

The Company issued Preferred Stock which participates in distributions of earnings on the same basis as shares of common stock, and as such, the Company established standards regarding the computation of earnings per share (EPS) for securities other than common stock that contractually entitle the holder to participate in dividends and earnings of the company. Earnings for the period are required to be allocated between the common and preferred shareholders based on their respective rights to receive dividends. Basic net income per share is then calculated by dividing income allocable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, net of shares subject to repurchase by the Company, during the period. The Company is not required to present basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for securities other than common stock; therefore, the following net income per share amounts only pertain to the Company’s common stock. The Company calculates diluted net income per share under the if-converted method unless the conversion of the preferred stock is anti-dilutive to basic net income per share. To the extent the inclusion of preferred stock is anti-dilutive, the Company calculates diluted net income per share under the two-class method. Potential common shares include restricted common stock, which is subject to risk of forfeiture and incremental shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and convertible preferred stock using the treasury stock method.

For the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, employee stock options to purchase 502,275 and 437,725 shares of stock, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, employee stock options to purchase 564,400 and 508,475 shares of stock, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. Basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding as of September 30, 2008 and 2009 does not include 653,838 and 1,018,713, respectively, of share-awards because the awards had not then vested. For the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, 23,104 and 102,818, respectively, of nonvested share-awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, 84,786 and 313,036, respectively, of nonvested share-awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. The nonvested stock could potentially dilute future earnings per share.

NOTE G — Share-Based Compensation

At September 30, 2009, the Company had one active share-based employee compensation plan. There are two previously expired compensation plans that still have outstanding options. Stock option awards under these plans were granted with an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Each outstanding option will expire 10 years from the date it was granted unless exercised or forfeited before the expiration date, and, historically, options are granted with vesting over a 4.5 year period. The Company has not granted any options in 2009.

In 2005, the Company began awarding restricted stock, also called nonvested shares in this discussion, under the existing share-based compensation plans. The majority of the Company’s nonvested share-awards typically vest in equal annual installments over a five year period. The total value of these awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the service period of the employees receiving the awards. The “service period” is the time during which the employees receiving awards must remain employees for the shares granted to fully vest.

Starting in December 2006, the Company awarded nonvested share-awards to certain executive officers with vesting subject to a performance condition. Vesting of these share-awards is dependent upon the officers fulfilling the service period requirements as well as the Company achieving certain EBITDA targets in each of the subsequent four years. The 2009 target was established by the Company’s Board of Directors on January 20, 2009, at which point the value of each nonvested share-award was $12.31. The Company is required to assess the probability that the performance conditions will be met. If the likelihood of the performance conditions being met is deemed probable, the Company will recognize the expense using the accelerated attribution method. The accelerated attribution method could result in as much as 50% of the total value of the shares being recognized in the first year of the service period if each of the four future targets is assessed as probable of being met. For performance based awards granted in 2006, 2007 and 2009, the accelerated attribution method has been used to recognize the expense.

In June 2008, in conjunction with the Merger and the hiring of Mobile Storage Group employees, the Company awarded nonvested share-awards for an aggregate of 157,535 shares with an aggregate fair value of $3.2 million. These awards vested or will vest over a period of between one and five years. The total value of these awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the service period.

As of September 30, 2009, the total amount of unrecognized compensation cost related to share-awards was approximately $16.8 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.1 years.

The total value of the stock option awards is expensed over the related employee’s service period on a straight-line basis. As of September 30, 2009, total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock option grants was approximately $1.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.1 years.

The following table summarizes the share-based compensation expense and capitalized amounts for the three months and nine months ended September 30:

The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

NOTE H — Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (principally on a standard cost basis which approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method) or market. Market is the lower of replacement cost or net realizable value. Inventories primarily consist of raw materials, supplies, work-in-process and finished goods, all related to the manufacturing, remanufacturing and maintenance of portable storage units and office units, primarily for the Company’s lease fleet and the Company’s units held for sale. Raw materials principally consist of raw steel, wood, glass, paint, vinyl and other assembly components used in manufacturing and refurbishing processes.

Work-in-process primarily represents partially built units being completed at the Maricopa facility that primarily will be added to the Company’s lease fleet upon completion or sold. Finished portable storage units primarily represents ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) containers held in inventory until the containers are either sold as is, remanufactured and sold, or units in the process of being remanufactured to be compliant with the Company’s lease fleet standards before transferring the units into the Company’s lease fleet. There is no certainty when the Company purchases the containers whether they will ultimately be sold, refurbished and sold, or remanufactured and moved into the Company’s lease fleet. Units that the Company adds to its lease fleet undergo an extensive remanufacturing process that includes installing the Company’s proprietary locking system, signage, painting and sometimes adding the Company’s proprietary security doors.

NOTE I—Income Taxes

The Company adopted a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

The Company files U.S. federal tax returns, U.S. State tax returns, and foreign tax returns. The Company has identified the Company’s U.S. Federal tax return as the Company’s “major” tax jurisdiction. The Company’s tax year for 2008 is subject to tax examination by the U. S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) through September 15, 2012. During 2009 the IRS concluded the audit of the Company’s consolidated U.S. Federal return for 2006 and 2007. There were no adjustments which resulted in a material change to the Company’s financial position. No reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded and the Company did not record a cumulative effect adjustment. 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 associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income before taxes. Penalties and associated interest costs are recorded in leasing, selling and general expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

NOTE J — Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Residual values are determined when the property is constructed or acquired and range up to 25%, depending on the nature of the asset. In the opinion of management, estimated residual values do not cause carrying values to exceed net realizable value. Normal repairs and maintenance to property, plant and equipment are expensed as incurred. When property or equipment is retired or sold, the net book value of the asset, reduced by any proceeds, is charged to gain or loss on the retirement of fixed assets. Property, plant and equipment consist of the following at:

	December 31, 2008				September 30, 2009
	(In thousands)
Land	$	10,978		$	11,128
Vehicles and equipment		78,592			77,748

Total property, plant and equipment	$	88,509		$	85,366

NOTE K — Lease Fleet

Mobile Mini has a lease fleet primarily consisting of remanufactured and differentiated steel portable storage containers and manufactured mobile offices that are leased to customers under short-term operating lease agreements with varying terms. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the Company’s units’ estimated useful life, after the date that the Company put the unit in service, and are depreciated down to their estimated residual values. The Company’s steel units are depreciated over 30 years with an estimated residual value of 55%. Wood office units are depreciated over 20 years with an estimated residual value of 50%. Van trailers, which are a small part of the Company’s fleet, are depreciated over seven years to a 20% residual value. Van trailers are only added to the fleet in connection with acquisitions of portable storage businesses, and then only when van trailers are a part of the business acquired.

14

MOBILE MINI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES — NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited) — Continued

In 2009, some of the steel units in the Company’s lease fleet were older than the 25 year originally assigned useful life. In April 2009, the Company evaluated its depreciation policy on steel units and changed their estimated useful life to 30 years with an estimated residual value of 55%, which effectively results in continual depreciation on these units at the same annual rate of book value as the Company’s previous depreciation policy of 25 year life and 62.5% residual value. This change had an immaterial impact on the consolidated financial statements at the date of the change in estimate.

In the opinion of management, estimated residual values do not cause carrying values to exceed net realizable value. The Company continues to evaluate these depreciation policies as more information becomes available from other comparable sources and the Company’s own historical experience.

Normal repairs and maintenance to the portable storage and mobile office units are expensed as incurred. As of December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2009, the lease fleet was in excess of $1.1 billion before accumulated depreciation of $79.6 and $96.6 million, respectively.

Lease fleet consists of the following at:

	(In thousands)
Steel storage containers	$	616,750		$	621,127

	$	1,078,156		$	1,060,668

NOTE L — Derivatives

In the normal course of business, the Company’s operations are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company addresses a portion of these risks through a controlled program of risk management that includes the use of derivative financial instruments. The objective of controlling these risks is to limit the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on earnings.

The Company’s primary interest rate exposure results in changes in short-term U.S. dollar interest rates. In an effort to manage variable interest rate exposures, the Company may enter into interest rate swap agreements, which convert its floating rate debt to a fixed-rate and which it designates as cash flow hedges. Interest expense on the notional amounts under these agreements is accrued using the fixed rates identified in the swap agreements.

The Company had interest rate swap agreements totaling $200.0 million at September 30, 2009. The fixed interest rate on the Company’s eight swap agreements range from 3.25% to 4.71%, averaging 4.03%. Three swap agreements mature in 2010 and five swap agreements mature in 2011.

NOTE M— Segment Reporting

The Company has operations in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and The Netherlands. All of the Company’s branches operate in their local currency and although the Company is exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuation in other foreign markets where the Company leases and sells the Company’s products, the Company does not believe this will have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations. Currently, the Company’s branch operation is the only segment that concentrates on the Company’s core business of leasing. Financial results of geographic regions are aggregated into one reportable segment, since their operations have similar economic characteristics. Each branch has similar economic characteristics covering all products leased or sold, including similar products and services, processes for delivering these services, customer base, sales personnel, advertising, yard facilities, general and administrative costs and the method of branch management. Management’s allocation of resources, performance evaluations and operating decisions are not dependent on the mix of a branch’s products. The Company does not attempt to allocate shared revenue nor general, selling and leasing expenses to the different configurations of portable storage and office products for lease and sale. The branch operations include the leasing and sales of portable storage units, portable offices and combination units configured for both storage and office space. The Company leases to businesses and consumers in the general geographic area surrounding each branch. Historically, the operation included the Company’s manufacturing facilities, which was responsible for the purchase, manufacturing and refurbishment of products for leasing and sale, as well as for manufacturing certain delivery equipment.

In managing the Company’s business, management focuses on growing leasing revenues, particularly in existing markets where it can take advantage of the operating leverage inherent in our business model, EBITDA and earnings per share.

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; therefore, reportable segment information is the same as contained in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Mobile Mini Supplemental Indenture

In connection with the acquisition of MSG, Mobile Mini entered into a Supplemental Indenture (the Mobile Mini Supplemental Indenture) pursuant to which MSG and its subsidiaries A Better Mobile Storage Company, and Mobile Storage Group (Texas), LP (the New Mobile Mini Guarantors) became “Guarantors” under Mobile Mini’s 6.875% Senior Notes due 2015 (the Senior Notes). Mobile Mini also entered into a Supplemental Indenture (the MSG Supplemental Indenture) pursuant to which Mobile Mini became an “Issuer” under MSG’s 9.75% Senior Notes due 2014 (the MSG Notes) and Mobile Mini’s subsidiaries Mobile Mini of Ohio LLC, Mobile Mini, LLC, a California limited liability company, Mobile Mini, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Mobile Mini I, Inc., A Royal Wolf Portable Storage, Inc., Temporary Mobile Storage, Inc., Delivery Design Systems, Inc., and Mobile Mini Texas Limited Partnership, LLP, became “Guarantors” under the MSG Indenture. As a result of the Supplemental Indentures, the same subsidiaries of the Company are guarantors under each of the MSG Notes and the Senior Notes.

The following tables present the condensed consolidating financial information of Mobile Mini, Inc., representing the subsidiaries of the Guarantors of the Senior Notes and MSG Notes and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. Separate financial statements of the subsidiary guarantors are not presented because the guarantee by each 100% owned subsidiary guarantor is full and unconditional, joint and several, and management has determined that such information is not material to investors.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our December 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 2, 2009. This discussion contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements.

The following discussion takes into account our merger transaction with Mobile Storage Group, Inc. on June 27, 2008. Our operating results for the reporting periods ended September 30, 2009 reflect the results of the acquired operations of Mobile Storage Group, whereas our operating results for the reporting periods ended September 30, 2008, reflect the results of the acquired operations of Mobile Storage Group since June 27, 2008 and include certain estimated expenses related to the integration and merger in connection with the acquisition.

Overview

General

We are the largest provider of portable storage solutions in North America and the United Kingdom, through a total lease fleet of approximately 260,000 portable storage and mobile office units at September 30, 2009. We offer a wide range of portable storage products in varying lengths and widths with an assortment of differentiated features such as our patented locking systems, multiple doors, electrical wiring and shelving.

We derive most of our revenues from the leasing of portable storage containers and mobile offices. In addition to our leasing business, we also sell portable storage containers and occasionally sell mobile office units. We also sell non-core assets, in particular van trailers, when the opportunity arises. Our sales revenues represented 9.4% and 10.3% of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively.

On June 27, 2008, we acquired the outstanding shares of Mobile Storage Group through a merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mobile Mini into Mobile Storage Group’s ultimate parent, MSG WC Holdings Corp. Immediately thereafter, each of MSG WC Holdings Corp. and two of its direct subsidiaries merged with and into Mobile Mini and Mobile Storage Group became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mobile Mini. We refer to this transaction as “the Merger” or “the acquisition” throughout this report.

The Merger was the largest acquisition we have completed and it increased the scope of our operations in both the U.S. and the U.K. Our condensed consolidated statements of income for the periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2009 include certain expenses incurred related to integration of the business acquired in the Merger. See the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for additional information regarding the Merger.

Prior to acquiring MSG, Mobile Mini grew through both organic growth and smaller acquisitions, which we use to gain a presence in new markets. Traditionally, we enter a new market through the acquisition of the business of a smaller local competitor and then apply our business model, which is usually much more customer service and marketing focused than the business we are buying or its competitors in the market. If we cannot find a desirable acquisition opportunity in a market we wish to enter, we establish a new greenfield location. As a result, a new branch location will typically have fairly low operating margins during its early years, but as our marketing efforts help us penetrate the new market and we increase the number of units on rent at the new branch, we take advantage of operating efficiencies to improve operating margins at the branch and typically reach company average levels after several years. When we enter a new market, we incur certain costs in developing an infrastructure. For example, advertising and marketing costs will be incurred and certain minimum levels of staffing and delivery equipment will be put in place regardless of the new market’s revenue base. Once we have achieved revenues during any period that are sufficient to cover our fixed expenses, we are able to generate relatively high margins on incremental lease revenues. Therefore, each additional unit rented in excess of the break-even level, contributes significantly to profitability. Conversely, any additional fixed expenses requires us to achieve additional revenue in order to maintain our margins. When we refer to our operating leverage in this discussion, we are describing the impact on margins once we either cover our fixed costs or if we incur additional fixed costs.

Following the Merger, we implemented our business model across the newly acquired MSG branches. While we realized significant

27

cost reductions as a result of the combination of two companies, costs of implementing our business model at the branches we acquired offset some of the cost reductions.

The level of non-residential construction activity is an important external factor that we examine to determine the direction of our business. Customers in the construction industry represented approximately 28% and 36% of our units on rent at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, and because of the degree of operating leverage we have, increases or decreases in non-residential construction activity can have a significant effect on our operating margins and net income. In 2007, after three years of very strong growth in non-residential construction activity in the U.S, this sector began to moderate and then decline and the level of our construction related business began to slow down and then decline. This decline continues to adversely affect our results of operations into 2009.

In managing our business, we focus on growing leasing revenues, particularly in existing markets where we can take advantage of the operating leverage inherent in our business model. Our goal is to maintain a stable growth rate.

We are a capital-intensive business, more historically than we currently are, so in addition to focusing on earnings per share, we focus on adjusted EBITDA to measure our results. We calculate this number by first calculating EBITDA, which we define as net income before interest expense, debt restructuring or extinguishment expense (if applicable), provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. This measure eliminates the effect of financing transactions that we enter into and this measure provides us with a means to track internally generated cash from which we can fund our interest expense and our lease fleet growth. In comparing EBITDA from year to year, we typically further adjust EBITDA to ignore the effect of what we consider non-recurring events not related to our core business operations.

Because EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the SEC, we include below in this report reconciliations of EBITDA to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

We present EBITDA because we believe it provides useful information regarding our ability to meet our future debt payment requirements, capital expenditures and working capital requirements and that it provides an overall evaluation of our financial condition. In addition, EBITDA is a component of certain financial covenants under our revolving credit facility and is used to determine our available borrowing capacity and the facility’s applicable interest rate in effect at any point in time. EBITDA has certain limitations as an analytical tool and should not be used as a substitute for net income, cash flows or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States or as a measure of our profitability or our liquidity. In particular, EBITDA, as defined, does not include:

• Interest expense — because we borrow money to partially finance our capital expenditures, primarily related to the expansion of our lease fleet, interest expense is a necessary element of our cost to secure this financing to continue generating additional revenues.

• Debt restructuring or extinguishment expense — as historically defined in our revolving credit facility, debt restructuring or debt extinguishment expenses are not deducted in our various calculations made under our facility and are treated no differently than interest expense. As discussed above, interest expense is a necessary element of our cost to finance a portion of the capital expenditures needed for the growth of our business.

• Income taxes — EBITDA, as defined, does not reflect income taxes or the requirements for any tax payments.

• Depreciation and amortization — because we are a leasing company, our business is very capital intensive and we hold acquired assets for a period of time before they generate revenues, cash flow and earnings; therefore, depreciation and amortization expense is a necessary element of our business.

When evaluating EBITDA as a performance measure, and excluding the above-noted charges, all of which have material limitations, investors should consider, among other factors, the following:

• increasing or decreasing trends in EBITDA;

28

• how EBITDA compares to levels of debt and interest expense; and

• whether EBITDA historically has remained at positive levels.

Because EBITDA, as defined, excludes some but not all items that affect our cash flow from operating activities, EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled performance measure presented by other companies.

The table below is a reconciliation of EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities for the periods indicated:

(1) EBITDA margin is calculated as EBITDA divided by total revenues expressed as a percentage.

In managing our business, we measure our EBITDA margins from year to year and based upon size of branch. We define this margin as EBITDA divided by our total revenues, expressed as a percentage. We use this comparison, for example, to study internally the effect that increased costs have on our margins. As capital is invested in our established branch locations, we achieve higher EBITDA margins on that capital than we achieve on capital invested to establish a new branch, because our fixed costs are already in place in connection with the established branches. The fixed costs are those associated with yard and delivery equipment, as well as advertising, sales, marketing and office expenses. With a new market or branch, we must first fund and absorb the startup costs for setting up the new branch facility, hiring and developing the management and sales team and developing our marketing and advertising programs. A new branch will have low EBITDA margins in its early years until the number of units on rent increases. Because this operating leverage creates higher operating margins on incremental lease revenue, which we realize on a branch-by-branch basis when the branch achieves leasing revenues sufficient to cover the branch’s fixed costs, leasing revenues in excess of the break-even amount produce

large increases in profitability. Conversely, absent growth in leasing revenues, the EBITDA margin at a branch would be expected to remain relatively flat on a period-by-period comparative basis if expenses remained the same or would decrease if fixed costs increased.

Accounting and Operating Overview

Our leasing revenues include all rent and ancillary revenues we receive for our portable storage, combination storage/office and mobile office units. Our sales revenues include sales of these units to customers. Our other revenues consist principally of charges for the delivery of the units we sell. Our principal operating expenses are (1) cost of sales; (2) leasing, selling and general expenses; and (3) depreciation and amortization, primarily depreciation of the portable storage units and portable offices in our lease fleet. Cost of sales is the cost of the units that we sold during the reported period and includes both our cost to buy, transport, remanufacture and modify used ocean-going containers and our cost to manufacture portable storage units and other structures. Leasing, selling and general expenses include among other expenses, advertising and other marketing expenses, real property lease expenses, commissions, repair and maintenance costs of our lease fleet and transportation equipment and corporate expenses for both our leasing and sales activities. Our repairs on wood offices require more maintenance cost than our portable storage units and have become a larger part of our lease fleet repair and maintenance expense over the past several years. Annual repair and maintenance expenses on our leased units over the last three fiscal years have averaged approximately 4.3% of lease revenues and are included in leasing, selling and general expenses. We expense our normal repair and maintenance costs as incurred (including the cost of periodically repainting units).

Our principal asset is our lease fleet, which has historically maintained value close to its original cost. The steel units in our lease fleet (other than van trailers) are depreciated on the straight-line method over our units’ estimated useful life of 30 years after the date the unit is placed in service, with an estimated residual value of 55%. The depreciation policy is supported by our historical lease fleet data which shows that we have been able to obtain comparable rental rates and sales prices irrespective of the age of our container lease fleet. Our wood mobile office units are depreciated over 20 years to 50% of original cost. Van trailers, which constitute a small part of our fleet, are depreciated over seven years to a 20% residual value.

In connection with the MSG acquisition, we also acquired non-core assets that were not part of our principal lease fleet. These assets include timber units which are older wood constructed mobile offices in the U.K. that are depreciated over 5 years to 10% of their assigned value. Other non-core units include portable toilets. Steel portable toilets are depreciated over 30 years to 55% of their residual value, wood timber portable toilets are depreciated over 5 years to 10% of their residual value and fiberglass portable toilets are depreciated over 3 years to 30% of their residual value.

We continue to sell these non-core assets, primarily trailer vans in the U.S. and timber units in the U.K., as opportunities permit.

The table below summarizes those transactions that effectively maintained the net book value of our lease fleet at $1.1 billion at December 31, 2008, and at September 30, 2009:

(1)	Does not include any routine maintenance, which is expensed as incurred.
(2)	These units include the net additional units that were the result of splitting steel containers into one or more shorter units, such as splitting a 40-foot container into two 20-foot units, or one 25-foot unit and one 15-foot unit and includes units moved from finished goods to the lease fleet.
(3)	Includes net units transferred in and out of the lease fleet.

The table below outlines the composition of our lease fleet (by book value and unit count) at September 30, 2009:

				Number of		Percentage
	Book Value			Units		of Units
	(In thousands)
Steel storage containers	$	621,127			208,908		80	%
Mobile offices		527,348			42,131		16	%
Van trailers		6,088			9,184		4	%
Other		2,660
		1,157,223
Accumulated depreciation		(96,555	)
	$	1,060,668			260,223		100	%

Appraisals on our fleet are conducted on a regular basis by an independent appraiser selected by our lenders and the appraiser does not differentiate in value based upon the age of the container or the length of time it has been in our fleet. As of September 30, 2009, based on the latest orderly liquidation value appraisal in May 2009, on which our borrowings under our revolving credit facility are based, our lease fleet liquidation appraisal value is approximately $912.4 million, which equates to 86.0% of our lease fleet net book value of $1.1 billion at September 30, 2009.

Our expansion program and other factors can affect our overall lease fleet asset utilization rate. During the last five fiscal years, our annual utilization levels averaged 80.2% and ranged from a low of 75.0% in 2008 to a high of 82.9% in 2005. Our utilization is somewhat seasonal, historically with the low normally being realized in the first quarter and the high realized in the fourth quarter. However, with the challenging economic business environment, especially in the non-residential construction industry, we have seen a decline in our utilization rates compared to the same period in the prior year. We ended the 2008 year with an average lease fleet utilization rate of 75.0%. Our average utilization rate for the third quarter of 2009 was 56.9% as compared to 59.5% in the second quarter of 2009 and as compared to 74.8% in the third quarter of 2008.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended September 30, 2009, Compared to
Three Months Ended September 30, 2008

Total revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 decreased by $40.7 million, or 30.6%, to $92.1 million from $132.8 million for the same period in 2008. Leasing revenues for the quarter decreased by $37.2 million, or 31.2%, to $82.1 million from $119.3 million for the same period in 2008. The decreases in total and leasing revenues are primarily due to a reduction in business activity due to the economic recession and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates. Our sales of portable storage and office units for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 decreased by 24.2%, to $9.5 million from $12.5 million during the same period in 2008. Leasing revenues, as a percentage of total revenues for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, were 89.2% and 89.9%, respectively. Our leasing business continues to be our primary focus and leasing revenues have and continue to be the predominant part of our revenue mix.

Cost of sales is the cost related to our sales revenues only. Cost of sales was 65.5% and 68.4% of sales revenue for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Our gross margins increased 2.9 percentage points to 34.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 as compared to 31.6% for the same period in 2008.

Leasing, selling and general expenses decreased $21.1 million, or 30.8% to $47.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, from $68.5 million for the same period in 2008. Leasing, selling and general expenses, as a percentage of total revenues, decreased to 51.4% for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, from 51.6% for the same period in 2008, primarily due our cost cutting measures during the current year. This cost cutting primarily involved reductions in our workforce and also migrating a number of our branches to operational yards. Operational yards do not have all the headcount and overhead associated with a fully staffed branch. In addition to a reduction in payroll costs, we benefited from lower third party trucking expenses, lower fuel costs and lower repair and maintenance expenses related to our lease fleet, as compared to the prior period.

Integration, merger and restructuring expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 were $1.5 million as compared to $6.1 million for the same period in 2008. These costs primarily represent costs for repositioning assets to their intended location and costs associated with further reductions to our workforce. Other continuing costs related to integration, merger and restructuring will be expensed as incurred.

EBITDA decreased $12.6 million, or 25.5%, to $37.0 million, as compared to $49.6 million for the same period in 2008 and EBITDA margins were 40.2% and 37.4% of total revenues for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. EBITDA, excluding integration, merger and restructuring expenses, decreased $17.2 million, or 30.8%, to $38.5 million compared to $55.7 million for the same period in 2008. EBITDA margins, excluding integration, merger and restructuring expenses were 41.8% and 41.9% of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $0.5 million, or 4.9%, to $9.2 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2009, as compared to $9.7 million during the same period in 2008. The decrease is primarily due to the restructuring of our manufacturing operations, mainly at the end of 2008, and other equipment which has been identified to be auctioned, and is partially offset by investment in additional technology and communication equipment and some growth in lease fleet (primarily acquired in 2008) and related delivery equipment.

Interest expense decreased $3.4 million to $14.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $18.0 million for the same period in 2008. This decrease is primarily due to lower average debt outstanding, primarily our line of credit and lower LIBOR interest rates in effect. The weighted average interest rate on our debt for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was 6.2% compared to 7.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2008, excluding amortization of debt issuance costs. Taking into account the amortization of debt issuance costs, the weighted average interest rate was 6.8% in the 2009 quarter and was 7.6% in the 2008 quarter.

Provision for income taxes was based on our annual estimated effective tax rate. The tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 was 38.3%, as compared to 39.4% during the same period in 2008. Our consolidated tax provision includes the expected tax rates for our operations in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and The Netherlands.

32

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2009, was $8.1 million compared to net income of $13.3 million for the same period in 2008. Our third quarter net income results include integration, merger and restructuring expenses of $1.5 million and $6.1 million, (approximately $1.0 million and $3.7 million after tax, respectively) for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009, Compared to
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008

Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 decreased by $5.2 million, or 1.8%, to $287.2 million from $292.4 million for the same period in 2008. Leasing revenues for the nine months decreased by $6.2 million, or 2.4%, to $256.0 million from $262.2 million for the same period in 2008. The decreases in total and leasing revenue are primarily due to a reduction in business activity due to the economic recession and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates. Our sales of portable storage and office units for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased by 3.4%, to $29.4 million from $28.5 million during the same period in 2008. Leasing revenues, as a percentage of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, were 89.1% and 89.7%, respectively. Our leasing business continues to be our primary focus and leasing revenues have and continue to be the predominant part of our revenue mix.

Cost of sales is the cost related to our sales revenues only. Cost of sales was 67.0% and 68.8% of sales revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Our gross margins increased 1.8 percentage points to 33.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to 31.2% for the same period in 2008.

Leasing, selling and general expenses decreased $7.7 million, or 5.0%, to $148.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, from $155.7 million for the same period in 2008. Leasing, selling and general expenses, as a percentage of total revenues, decreased to 51.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, from 53.3% for the same period in 2008, primarily due to our cost cutting measures and cost synergies achieve in the acquisition. This cost cutting primarily involved reductions in our workforce and also migrating a number of our branches to operational yards. Operational yards do not have all the headcount and overhead associated with a fully staffed branch. In addition, we benefited from lower third party trucking expenses, lower fuel costs and lower repair and maintenance expenses related to our lease fleet, as compared to the prior period.

Integration, merger and restructuring expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $9.4 million as compared to $17.7 million for the same period in 2008. These costs primarily represent costs for repositioning assets to their intended location and costs associated with further reductions to our workforce. Other continuing costs related to integration, merger and restructuring will be expensed as incurred.

EBITDA increased $10.6 million, or 10.7%, to $110.0 million, as compared to $99.4 million for the same period in 2008 and EBITDA margins were 38.3% and 34.0% of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. EBITDA, excluding integration, merger and restructuring expenses, increased $2.3 million, or 2.0%, to $119.4 million compared to $117.1 million for the same period in 2008. EBITDA margins, excluding integration, merger and restructuring expenses were 41.6% and 40.1% of total revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $8.8 million, or 41.6%, to $29.9 million in the nine month ended September 30, 2009, as compared to $21.1 million during the same period in 2008. The increase is primarily due to the acquisition, investment in additional technology and communication equipment and some growth in lease fleet (primarily acquired in 2008) and related delivery equipment. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in depreciation expense related to disposal of assets as part of the restructuring of our manufacturing operations and other equipment which has been identified to be auctioned and is no longer being depreciated.

Interest expense increased $14.2 million to $44.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $30.6 million for the same period in 2008. This increase is primarily due to the debt assumed in the acquisition. Our average borrowing rate decreased slightly during 2009 from the prior year level, including the effect of the assumption of Mobile Storage’s $200.0 million of 9.75% Senior Notes. The weighted average interest rate on our debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was 6.2% compared to 6.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, excluding amortization of debt issuance costs. Taking into account the amortization of debt issuance costs, the weighted average interest rate was 6.7% in 2009 and 7.0% in 2008.

33

Provision for income taxes was based on our annual effective tax rate of approximately 38.2% in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to 39.7% during the same period in 2008. Our consolidated tax provision includes the expected tax rates for our operations in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and The Netherlands.

Net income for the nine months September 30, 2009, was $21.8 million compared to net income of $28.8 million for the same period in 2008. Our 2009 net income results include integration, merger and restructuring expenses of $9.4 million and $17.7 million, (approximately $5.8 million and $11.0 million after tax, respectively) for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Leasing is a capital-intensive business that requires us to acquire assets before they generate revenues, cash flow and earnings. The assets which we lease have very long useful lives and require relatively little recurrent maintenance expenditures. Most of the capital we deploy into our leasing business historically has been used to expand our operations geographically, to increase the number of units available for lease at our leasing locations, and to add to the mix of products we offer. During recent years, our operations have generated annual cash flow that exceeds our pre-tax earnings, particularly due to the deferral of income taxes caused by accelerated depreciation that is used for tax accounting. In 2008, we were cash flow positive (after capital expenditures but excluding acquisitions) for the first time in our operating history. This positive cash flow continued for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009.

During the past three years, our capital expenditures and acquisitions have been funded by our operating cash flow, a public offering of shares of our common stock in March 2006, our offering of Senior Notes in May 2007 and through borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Our operating cash flow is generally weakest during the first quarter of each fiscal year, when customers who leased containers for holiday storage return the units and a result of seasonal weather in some of our markets. During 2008 and the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we cut back significantly on our capital expenditures and were able to fund the growth of our lease fleet and fixed assets with cash provided by operating activities. We currently expect this trend to continue throughout 2009. In addition to cash flow generated by operations, our principal current source of liquidity is our revolving credit facility described below.

Revolving Credit Facility.In connection with the Merger, we expanded our revolving credit facility to $900.0 million and included the combined assets of both Mobile Mini and Mobile Storage Group as security for our obligations under the facility.

On June 27, 2008, we entered into an ABL Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement) with Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch and the other lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement provides for a $900.0 million revolving credit facility. All amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement are due on June 27, 2013. The obligations of Mobile Mini and our subsidiary guarantors under the Credit Agreement are secured by a blanket lien on substantially all of our assets. At September 30, 2009, we had approximately $493.3 million of borrowings outstanding and $326.3 million of additional borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement, based upon borrowing base calculations as of such date. We were in compliance with all the covenants under the terms of the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2009.

Amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement and repaid during the term may be reborrowed. Outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement will bear interest, at the our option, at either (i) LIBOR plus a defined margin, or (ii) the Agent bank’s prime rate plus a margin. LIBOR loans initially bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.5% and base rate loans initially bore interest at the Agent bank’s prime rate plus 1.0%. The applicable margins for each type of loan will range from 2.25% to 2.75% for LIBOR loans and 0.75% to 1.25% for base rate loans depending upon our debt ratio, as defined in the Agreement, at the measurement date. Based on our debt ratio at September 30, 2009, our applicable interest rate margins for LIBOR loans will be LIBOR plus 2.75% and Prime plus 1.25% for base rate loans which will be effective on December 1, 2009. These interest rate spreads will be effective until the next measurement date.

The Credit Agreement provides for U.K. borrowings, denominated in either Pounds Sterling or Euros, by the Company’s subsidiary Mobile Mini U.K. Limited, based upon a U.K. borrowing base and additionally supported by the U.S. and Canada borrowing base, if necessary. For U.S. borrowings, which are denominated in Dollars, by Mobile Mini, the borrowing base is based upon a U.S. and Canada borrowing base.

34

Availability of borrowings under the Credit Agreement is subject to a borrowing base calculation based upon a valuation of our eligible accounts receivable, eligible container fleet, eligible inventory (including containers held for sale, work-in-process and raw materials), machinery and equipment and real property, each multiplied by an applicable advance rate or limit.

Operating Activities.Our operations provided net cash flow of $68.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $64.6 million during the same period in 2008. The $4.0 million increase in cash provided by operations primarily resulted from a decrease in working capital. We used this net cash flow to fund operations and repay debt under our Credit Agreement.

Investing Activities.Net cash provided by investing activities was $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to a use of cash of $74.0 million for the same period in 2008. Cash paid for businesses acquired, which primarily related to the MSG acquisition, was 24.2 million in 2008. Capital expenditures for our lease fleet were $16.5 million and proceeds from sale of lease fleet units were $25.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to net expenditures of $39.0 million for the same period in 2008. Our capital expenditures for our lease fleet decreased 70.9% in the nine months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008, as we acquired fewer units due to the economic slow down. Proceeds from sale of lease fleet units increased 43.9% compared to the same period in 2008. At the end of 2008, we restructured our manufacturing operations to right-size our manufacturing requirements considering the large lease fleet we acquired in the MSG transaction. As a result of the acquisition and the current economic conditions, we anticipate our near-term investing activities will be primarily focused on remanufacturing units acquired in acquisitions to meet our lease fleet standards as these units are placed on-rent. Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment, net of proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment, were $7.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $10.7 million for the same period in 2008. The majority of the 2009 expenditures were for technology and communication improvements for our telephone GPS handheld devices and computer systems, delivery equipment (trucks, trailers and forklifts) and improvements to our branch locations. The amount of cash that we use during any period in investing activities is almost entirely within management’s discretion. We have no contracts or other arrangements pursuant to which we are required to purchase a fixed or minimum amount of capital goods in connection with any portion of our business.

Financing Activities.Net cash used in financing activities was $62.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $8.1 million for the same period in 2008. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we reduced total debt by $63.5 million. This decrease in total debt was negatively impacted during the period by currency exchange rates which caused an increase to amount of borrowings outstanding under the credit facility of approximately $10.4 million.

At September 30, 2009, we have interest rate swap agreements under which we effectively fixed the interest rate payable on $200.0 million of borrowings under our Credit Agreement so that the rate is based upon a spread from a fixed rate, rather than a spread from the LIBOR rate. The fair value of our interest rate swap agreements resulted in amounts being recognized in other comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, of $1.5 million net of applicable income taxes of $1.0 million.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS

Our contractual obligations primarily consist of our outstanding balance under our revolving credit facility and $350.0 million of Senior Notes, together with other, primarily unsecured notes payable obligations and obligations under capital leases. We also have operating lease commitments for: (1) real estate properties for the majority of our locations with remaining lease terms typically ranging from 1 to 11 years; (2) delivery, transportation and yard equipment, typically under a five-year lease with purchase options at the end of the lease term at a stated or fair market value price; and (3) office related equipment.

At September 30, 2009, primarily in connection with the issuance of our insurance policies, we provided certain insurance carriers and others with approximately $12.2 million in letters of credit.

We currently do not have any obligations under purchase agreements or commitments. Historically, we enter into capitalized lease obligations from time to time to purchase delivery, transportation and yard equipment and currently, as a result of the Merger, have commitments for $4.4 million in remaining capital lease obligations at September 30, 2009.

35

OFF-BALANCE SHEET TRANSACTIONS

We do not maintain any off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or others that are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

SEASONALITY

Demand from some of our customers is somewhat seasonal. Demand for leases of our portable storage units by large retailers is stronger from September through December because these retailers need to store more inventories for the holiday season. Our retail customers usually return these leased units to us early in the following year. Other than when in a challenging economic environment, this has caused lower utilization rates for our lease fleet and a marginal decrease in cash flow during the first quarter of the year. Over the last few years, we have reduced the percentage of our units we reserve for this seasonal business from the levels we allocated in earlier years, decreasing our seasonality.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

Our results of operations for the periods discussed in this report have not been significantly affected by inflation.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, some of which require significant judgment.

Mobile Mini’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based upon our evaluation of historical results and anticipated future events, and these estimates may change as additional information becomes available. The Securities and Exchange Commission defines critical accounting policies as those that are, in management’s view, most important to our financial condition and results of operations and those that require significant judgments and estimates. Management believes that our most critical accounting policies relate to:

Revenue Recognition.Lease and leasing ancillary revenues and related expenses generated under portable storage and mobile office units are recognized on a straight-line basis. Delivery and hauling revenues and expenses from our portable storage and mobile office units are recognized when these services are earned. We recognize revenues from sales of containers and mobile office units upon delivery when the risk of loss passes, the price is fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. We sell our products pursuant to sales contracts stating the fixed sales price with our customers.

Share-Based Compensation.We account for share-based compensation using the modified-prospective-transition method and recognize the fair-value of share-based compensation transactions in the statement of income. The fair value of our share-based awards is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes valuation calculation requires us to estimate key assumptions such as future stock price volatility, expected terms, risk-free rates and dividend yield. Expected stock price volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock. We use historical data to estimate option exercises and employee terminations within the valuation model. The expected term of options granted is derived from an analysis of historical exercises and remaining contractual life of stock options, and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant. We historically have not paid cash dividends, and do not currently intend to pay cash dividends, and thus have assumed a 0% dividend rate. If our actual experience differs significantly from the assumptions used to compute our share-based compensation cost, or if different assumptions had been used, we may have recorded too much or too little share-based compensation cost. In the past we have issued stock options and restricted stock, which we also refer to as nonvested shares. For stock options and nonvested share-awards subject solely to service conditions, we recognize expense using the straight-line method. For nonvested share-awards subject to service and performance conditions, we are required to assess the probability that such performance conditions will be met. If the likelihood of the performance condition being met is deemed probable, we will recognize the expense using accelerated attribution method. In addition, for both stock options and nonvested share-awards, we are required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate of our stock grants and only recognize the expense for those shares expected to vest. If the actual forfeiture rate is materially different from

36

our estimate, our share-based compensation expense could be materially different. We had approximately $1.2 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options at September 30, 2009 that are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years and $16.8 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested share-awards at September 30, 2009 that are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.1 years. See Note G to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion on share-based compensation.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We establish and maintain reserves against estimated losses based upon historical loss experience and evaluation of past due accounts receivable. Management reviews the level of the allowances for doubtful accounts on a regular basis and adjusts the level of the allowances as needed. If we were to increase the factors used for our reserve estimates by 25%, it would have the following approximate effect on our net income and diluted earnings per share as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2008		2009		2008		2009
	(In thousands except per share data)
As Reported:
Net income	$	13,276	$	8,120	$	28,795	$	21,813
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.31	$	0.19	$	0.77	$	0.51
As adjusted for change in estimates:
Net income	$	12,929	$	8,063	$	28,203	$	21,530
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.30	$	0.19	$	0.75	$	0.50

If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Impairment of Goodwill.We assess the impairment of goodwill and other identifiable intangibles on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Some factors we consider important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

• significant under-performance relative to historical, expected or projected future operating results;

• significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business;

• our market capitalization relative to net book value; and

• significant negative industry or general economic trends.

We operate on one reportable segment, which is comprised of three reporting units (North America, U.K. and The Netherlands). All of our goodwill was allocated between these three reporting units. We perform an annual impairment test on goodwill at December 31 using the two-step process required under GAAP. The first step is a screen for potential impairment, while the second step measures the amount of the impairment, if any. In addition, we will perform impairment tests during any reporting period in which events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may have incurred. At September 30, 2009 there were no significant negative changes to the future projected cash flows or to the general or specific economic trends since the last annual test indicating the need for testing goodwill recoverability. At December 31, 2008, we performed the first step of the two-step impairment test and compared the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. In assessing the fair value of the reporting units, we considered both the market approach and the income approach. Under the market approach, the fair value of the reporting unit is based on quoted market prices of companies comparable to the reporting unit being valued. Under the income approach, the fair value of the reporting unit is based on the present value of estimated cash flows. The income approach is dependent on a number of significant management assumptions, including estimated future revenue growth rates, gross margins on sales, operating margins, capital expenditures and discount rates. Each approach was given equal weight in arriving at the fair value of the reporting unit. We determined the fair values of the U.K. and The Netherlands reporting units were less than the carrying values of the net assets of these reporting units, thus we performed step two of the impairment test for these two reporting units.

37

In step two of the impairment test, we are required to determine the implied fair value of the goodwill and compare it to the carrying value of the goodwill. We allocated the fair value of the reporting units to the respective assets and liabilities of each reporting unit as if the reporting units had been acquired in separate and individual business combinations and the fair value of the reporting units was the price paid to acquire the reporting units. The excess of the fair value of the reporting units over the amounts assigned to their respective assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. For both reporting units in the step two testing, the implied value of goodwill was less than the carrying value of goodwill, resulting in an impairment charge of $13.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. We reconciled the fair values of our three reporting units in the aggregate to our market capitalization at December 31, 2008.

Impairment Long-Lived Assets. We review property, plant and equipment and intangibles with finite lives (those assets resulting from acquisitions) for impairment when events or circumstances indicate these assets might be impaired. We test impairment using historical cash flows and other relevant facts and circumstances as the primary basis for its estimates of future cash flows. This process requires the use of estimates and assumptions, which are subject to a high degree of judgment. If these assumptions change in the future, whether due to new information or other factors, we may be required to record impairment charges for these assets.

Depreciation Policy.Our depreciation policy for our lease fleet uses the straight-line method over our units’ estimated useful life, after the date that we put the unit in service. Our steel units are depreciated over 30 years with an estimated residual value of 55%. Wood offices units are depreciated over 20 years with an estimated residual value of 50%. Van trailers, which are a small part of our fleet, are depreciated over 7 years to a 20% residual value. We have other non-core products that have various other measures of useful lives and residual values. Van trailers and other non-core products are only added to the fleet as a result of acquisitions of portable storage businesses.

In April 2009, we evaluated our depreciation policy on our steel units and changed the estimated useful life to 30 years (from 25 years) and decreased the residual value to 55% from 62.5%. This results in continual depreciation on steel units for five additional years at the same annual rate of 1.5% of book value. This change had an immaterial impact on the consolidated financial statements at the date of the change in estimate.

We made this change because some of our steel units have been in our lease fleet longer than 25 years and these units continue to be effective income producing assets that do not show signs of realizing the end of their useful life. Our historical lease fleet data on our steel units shows we have retained comparable rental rates and sales prices irrespective of the age of the steel units in our lease fleet.

We periodically review our depreciation policy against various factors, including the results of our lenders’ independent appraisal of our lease fleet, practices of the larger competitors in our industry, profit margins we are achieving on sales of depreciated units and lease rates we obtain on older units. If we were to change our depreciation policy on our steel units from 55% residual value and a 30-year life to a lower or higher residual and a shorter or longer useful life, such change could have a positive, negative or neutral effect on our earnings, with the actual effect being determined by the change. For example, a change in our estimates used in our residual values and useful life would have the following approximate effect on our net income and diluted earnings per share as reflected in the table below.

(1)	Effective April 2009

Insurance Reserves.Our worker’s compensation, auto and general liability insurance are purchased under large deductible programs. Our current per incident deductibles are: worker’s compensation $250,000, auto $250,000 and general liability $100,000. We provide for the estimated expense relating to the deductible portion of the individual claims. However, we generally do not know the full amount of our exposure to a deductible in connection with any particular claim during the fiscal period in which the claim is incurred and for which we must make an accrual for the deductible expense. We make these accruals based on a combination of the claims development experience of our staff and our insurance companies, and, at year end, the accrual is reviewed and adjusted, in part, based on an independent actuarial review of historical loss data and using certain actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry. A high degree of judgment is required in developing these estimates of amounts to be accrued, as well as in connection with the underlying assumptions. In addition, our assumptions will change as our loss experience is developed. All of these factors have the potential for significantly impacting the amounts we have previously reserved in respect of anticipated deductible expenses, and we may be required in the future to increase or decrease amounts previously accrued.

Our health benefit programs are considered to be self insured products; however, we buy excess insurance coverage that limits our medical liability exposure. Additionally, our medical program includes a total aggregate claim exposure and we are currently accruing and reserving to the total projected losses.

Contingencies.We are a party to various claims and litigations in the normal course of business. We do not anticipate that the resolution of such matters, known at this time, will have a material adverse effect on our business or consolidated financial position.Deferred Taxes.In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we recognize income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. For each jurisdiction, we estimate the actual amount of taxes currently payable or receivable as well as deferred tax assets

39

and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

A valuation allowance is provided for those deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that the related benefits will not be realized. In determining the amount of the valuation allowance, we consider estimated future taxable income as well as feasible tax planning strategies in each jurisdiction. If we determine that we will not realize all or a portion of our deferred tax assets, we will increase our valuation allowance with a charge to income tax expense or offset goodwill if the deferred tax asset was acquired in a business combination. Conversely, if we determine that we will ultimately be able to realize all or a portion of the related benefits for which a valuation allowance has been provided, all or a portion of the related valuation allowance will be reduced with a credit to income tax expense except if the valuation allowance was created in conjunction with a tax asset in a business combination.

Purchase Accounting.We account for acquisitions, under the purchase method. Under the purchase method of accounting, the price paid by us, including the value of the redeemable convertible preferred stock, was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired and the fair value of the convertible redeemable participating preferred stock issued at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired represents goodwill that will be subject to annual impairment testing.

The estimated fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and convertible redeemable participating preferred stock issued were based on internal estimates and are subject to change. The difference between the purchase price and the preliminary fair value of net identifiable assets and liabilities acquired was recorded as goodwill.

Earnings Per Share.Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing income allocable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, net of shares subject to repurchase by us during the period. Income allocable to common stockholders is net earnings net of the earnings allocable to preferred stock. Diluted net income per share is calculated under the if-converted method unless the conversion of the preferred stock is anti-dilutive to basic net income per share. To the extent the inclusion of preferred stock is anti-dilutive, we calculate diluted net income per share under the two-class method. Potential common shares include restricted common stock and incremental shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and vesting of nonvested stock awards and convertible preferred stock using the treasury stock method.

There have been no other significant changes in our critical accounting policies, estimates and judgments during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting Standards CodificationEffective July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) became the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. The historical GAAP hierarchy was eliminated and the ASC became the only level of authoritative GAAP, other than guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The codification was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009, except for certain nonpublic nongovernmental entities. The Company’s accounting policies were not affected by the conversion to ASC.

Fair Value Measurements. In September 2006, the FASB issued guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued additional guidance which deferred the effective date for the Company to January 1, 2009 for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (that is, at least annually). The Company adopted the deferred provisions of this guidance on January 1, 2009. The adoption of these provisions did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Interim Disclosures about Fair Value.In April 2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance that requires disclosures by publicly traded companies about the fair value of financial instruments for interim periods as well as in annual financial statements. This guidance is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and was early adopted by the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, and had no impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets or statements of income or cash flows.

40

Business Combinations.On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance for business combinations as issued by the FASB. The new accounting guidance establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, as well as the goodwill acquired. Significant changes from previous guidance resulting from this new guidance include the expansion of the definitions of a “business” and a “business combination.” For all business combinations (whether partial, full or step acquisitions), the acquirer will record 100% of all assets and liabilities of the acquired business, including goodwill, generally at their fair values; contingent consideration will be recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date and; for certain arrangements, changes in fair value will be recognized in earnings until settlement; and acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs will be expensed rather than treated as part of the cost of the acquisition. The new accounting guidance also establishes disclosure requirements to enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. Because the majority of the provisions of the new accounting guidance are applicable to future transactions, the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination as issued by the FASB. The new guidance amends the provisions previously issued by the FASB related to the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting and disclosures for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations. The new guidance eliminates the distinction between contractual and non-contractual contingencies, including the initial recognition and measurement. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Determining the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance for the determination of the useful life of intangible assets as issued by the FASB. The new guidance amends the factors that should be considered in developing the renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. The new guidance also requires expanded disclosure regarding the determination of intangible asset useful lives. Because this accounting guidance is applicable to future transactions, the adoption of did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent Events. On April 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance related to subsequent events as issued by the FASB. The new requirement establishes the accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were or were available to be issued. The adoption of these provisions did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 1 for additional discussion of the Company’s evaluation of subsequent events.

Transfers of Financial Assets.In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance that changes the information a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about the transfer of financial assets and continuing interests held in transferred financial assets. The standard amends previous accounting guidance by removing the concept of qualified special purpose entities. This accounting standard is effective for the Company for transfers occurring on or after January 1, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this accounting standard to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Fair Value Measurement of Liabilities. In August 2009, FASB issued guidance providing clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following techniques:

1. A valuation technique that uses:

a. The quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset.

b. Quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets.

2. Another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles in the FASB’s guidance (two examples would be an income approach or a market approach).

This guidance also clarifies that (i) when estimating fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability and (ii) both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value

41

measurements. This guidance is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.

Multiple Element Arrangements. In September 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to the revenue recognition of multiple element arrangements. The new guidance states that if vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, companies will be required to develop a best estimate of the selling price to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. This guidance is effective for the Company for arrangements entered into after January 1, 2010. The Company currently does not expect this to have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS [CHRIS- ANY UPDATES?]

This section as well as other sections of this report contains forward-looking information about our financial results and estimates and our business prospects that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. From time to time, we also may provide oral or written forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public. Forward-looking statements are expressions of our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historic or current facts. They include words such as “anticipate”, “estimate”, “expect”, “project”, “intend”, “plan”, “believe”, “will”, and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. Additionally, words like “usually” and “generally”, when used to refer to future performance or expected results, are forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following:

• a continued economic slowdown in the U.S. and/or the U.K. that affects any significant portion of our customer base, or the geographic regions where we operate in those countries

• our ability to manage growth at existing or new locations

• our European operations may divert our resources from other aspects of our business

• our ability to obtain borrowings under our credit facility or additional debt or equity financing on acceptable terms

• changes in the supply and price of used ocean-going containers

• changes in the supply and cost of the raw materials we use in refurbishing or remanufacturing storage units

• competitive developments affecting our industry, including pricing pressures in newer markets

• the timing and number of new branches that we open or acquire

• our ability to protect our patents and other intellectual property

• currency exchange and interest rate fluctuations

• governmental laws and regulations affecting domestic and foreign operations, including tax obligations, union formation and zoning laws

• changes in generally accepted accounting principles

• changes in local zoning laws affecting either our ability to operate in certain areas or our customer’s ability to use our products

• any changes in business, political and economic conditions due to the threat of future terrorist activity in the U.S. and other parts of the world and related U.S. military action overseas

• increases in costs and expenses, including cost of raw materials and employment costs

We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized, although we believe we have been prudent in our plans and assumptions. Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated or projected. Investors should bear this in mind as they consider forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our Form 10-Q, 8-K and 10-K reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our Form 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, listed various important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected and historic results. We note these factors for investors as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers can find them in Item 1A of that filing and this filing under the heading “Risk Factors”. You may obtain a copy of our Form 10-K by requesting it from the Company’s Investor Relations Department at (480) 894-6311 or by mail to Mobile Mini, Inc., 7420 S. Kyrene Rd., Suite 101, Tempe, Arizona 85283. Our

43

filings with the SEC, including the Form 10-K, may be accessed through Mobile Mini’s website atwww.mobilemini.com, and at the SEC’s website at http:/www.sec.gov. Material on our website is not incorporated in this report, except by express incorporation by reference herein.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Swap Agreement.We seek to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with changes in interest rates through a financial arrangement intended to provide a hedge against a portion of the risks associated with such volatility. We continue to have exposure to such risks to the extent they are not hedged.

Interest rate swap agreements are the only instruments we use to manage interest rate fluctuations affecting our variable rate debt. At September 30, 2009, we had interest rate swap agreements under which we pay a fixed rate and receive a variable interest rate on a notional amount of $200.0 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, comprehensive income included $1.5 million, net of applicable income taxes of $1.0 million, related to the fair value of our interest rate swap agreements.

Impact of Foreign Currency Rate Changes.We currently have branch operations outside the United States and we bill those customers primarily in their local currency which is subject to foreign currency rate changes. Our operations in Canada are billed in the Canadian Dollar, operations in the United Kingdom are billed in Pound Sterling and operations in The Netherlands are billed in the Euro. We are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as the financial results of our non-United States operations are translated into U.S. Dollars. The impact of foreign currency rate changes has historically been insignificant with our Canadian operations, but we have more exposure to volatility with our European operations. In order to help minimize our exchange rate gain and loss volatility, we finance our European entities through our revolving credit facility which allows us to also borrow those funds locally in Pound Sterling denominated debt.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, subject to the limitations as noted below, were effective during the period and as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Because of inherent limitations, our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect misstatements. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all controls systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all controls issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

Changes in Internal Controls.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We refer you to documents filed by us with the SEC, specifically “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 which identify important risk factors that could materially affect our business, financial condition and future results. We also refer you to the factors and cautionary language set forth in the section entitled “Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-looking Statements” in Management’s Discussion & Analysis of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with such risks and other factors for a full understanding our operations and financial condition. The risks described in our Form 10-K and herein are not the only risks facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. The risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 have not materially changed.
