	NOTE A — Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management of Mobile Mini, Inc. (referred to herein as “Mobile Mini,” “us,” “we,” “our” 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 translated to U.S. currency for the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for each period being presented. The Company is subject to foreign exchange rate fluctuations in connection with the Company’s United Kingdom and Canadian operations.
	The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2013 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
	The results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2014 or any future period. Demand from certain of the Company’s customers is somewhat seasonal. Demand for leases of the Company’s portable storage units by large retailers is stronger from September through December because these retailers need to store additional inventory for the holiday season. These retailers usually return these leased units to the Company in December or early in the following year. This seasonality has historically caused lower utilization rates for the Company’s lease fleet during the first quarter of each year.
	Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current financial presentation requirements. The reclassification is the result of the Company selling the subsidiary comprising its Netherlands operation in December 2013 and reflecting such transaction as a discontinued operation.
	These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2013 audited 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 February 14, 2014.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]	'
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	'
	NOTE B — Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, with an option for early adoption. The Company adopted this guidance in January 2014. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
	Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. In April 2014, the FASB issued the accounting guidance on reporting discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity. The new guidance raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. The Company does not expect the adoption of the guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
	Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In May 2014, FASB issued the accounting standard on revenue from contracts with customers. The standard provides a single model for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition guidance. The standard requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of goods or services. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The revenue recognition standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, of the adoption of the standard to its financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

Fair Value Measurements

'

NOTE C — 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 adopted the suggested accounting guidance for the 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.

At December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014, the Company did not have any financial instruments required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

The following table summarizes our non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis:

Assets held for sale primarily represented portable storage and office units and some transportation equipment. The carrying value of these assets was written down to fair value in the second quarter of 2013. The estimate of the fair value of the assets held for sale was based on the Company’s understanding of market prices to be paid by third parties (See Note R).

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]	'
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	'
	NOTE D — 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 the Company could realize in current market exchanges.
	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 revolving credit facility and capital leases approximate fair value. The fair values of the Company’s revolving credit facility and capital leases 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 revolving credit facility debt and capital leases at December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014 approximated their respective book values and are considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy described in Note C.
	The fair value of the Company’s $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% senior notes due 2020 (the “Senior Notes”) is $217.3 million and $214.0 million as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014, respectively. The fair value is based on the latest sales price of such notes at the end of each period obtained from a third-party institution and is considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy described in Note C, as there is not an active market for such notes.

	Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated under the treasury stock method. Potential common shares include restricted common stock, which is subject to risk of forfeiture, incremental shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and vesting of nonvested stock awards.

Share-Based Compensation	'
	NOTE F — Share-Based Compensation
	At September 30, 2014, the Company had one active share-based employee compensation plan. There are two expired compensation plans, one of which still has outstanding options subject to exercise or termination. No additional options can be granted under the expired plans.
	Stock option awards under these plans were historically granted with an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. In 2014, the stock options issued by the Company were issued at a price equal to 115% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. Each outstanding option must expire no later than ten years from the date it was granted, unless exercised or forfeited before the expiration date, and are granted with vesting periods ranging from three to four and one half years. The total value of the Company’s stock option awards is expensed over the related employee’s service period on a straight-line basis, or if subject to performance conditions, the expense is recognized using the accelerated attribution method. The “service period” is the time during which the employees receiving the awards must remain employed for the shares granted to fully vest.
	The Company also awards restricted stock, also called nonvested share-awards in this discussion, under the existing share-based compensation plan. The majority of the Company’s nonvested share-awards vest in equal annual installments over a four- to five-year period. The total value of these time-based awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the service period of the employees receiving the awards.
	The Company has also granted certain executive officers stock options and nonvested share-awards with vesting subject to performance conditions. Vesting of these grants is dependent upon the respective officers fulfilling the service period requirements as well as the Company achieving certain yearly adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) targets in each of the performance periods (three to four years) after the grant is awarded. EBITDA is defined as net income before discontinued operation, net of tax (if applicable), interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and debt restructuring or extinguishment expense (if applicable), including any write-off of deferred financing costs, and further adjusted to exclude non-cash share-based compensation expense and other specific transactions, to arrive at adjusted EBITDA. For performance-based grants, the Company is required to assess the probability that such 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 60% of the total value of the shares being recognized in the first year of the service period if the future performance-based targets are assessed as probable of being met.
	The following table sets forth unrecognized compensation costs related to the Company’s share-based compensation plan as of September 30, 2014:
		September 30,			Weighted Average
		2014			Recognition Period

Inventories	'
	NOTE G — Inventories
	Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (principally on a standard cost basis that approximates the first-in, first-out, or FIFO, method) or market. Market is the lower of replacement cost or net realizable value. Inventories primarily consist of raw materials and supplies, work-in-process and finished portable storage units, primarily related to remanufacturing and maintenance, of the Company’s lease fleet and its units held for sale. Raw materials and supplies principally consist of raw steel, wood, glass, paint and other assembly components used in the remanufacturing processes. Work-in-process primarily represents units being built that are either pre-sold or being built to add to the Company’s lease fleet upon completion. Finished portable storage units primarily represent ISO, or 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 to its lease fleet. There is no certainty when the Company purchases the containers whether they will ultimately be sold, remanufactured and sold, or remanufactured and moved into its lease fleet. Units that are placed into the Company’s lease fleet undergo an extensive remanufacturing process that includes installing its proprietary locking system, signage, painting and sometimes its proprietary security doors.

Lease Fleet	'
	NOTE H — Lease Fleet
	The Company has a lease fleet primarily consisting of remanufactured and modified steel portable storage containers, steel security offices, steel combination offices and wood 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 estimated useful life of the Company’s units, after the date the units are placed 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 with an estimated residual value of 20%. The Company has other non-core products that have various other measures of useful lives and residual values. Van trailers and other non-core assets are typically only added to the fleet as a result of acquisitions of portable storage businesses.
	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 containers and mobile office units are expensed as incurred.

	NOTE I — 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. Improvements made to leased properties are amortized over the lesser of the estimated remaining life or the remaining term of the respective lease. 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 and is included in leasing, selling and general expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

	Purchase prices of acquired businesses have been allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based on the estimated fair values on the respective acquisition dates. Based on these values, the excess purchase prices over the fair value of the net assets acquired were allocated to goodwill. Acquisitions of businesses under asset purchase agreements result in the goodwill relating to the business acquisition being deductible for income tax purposes even though goodwill is not amortized for financial reporting purposes. The Company performs an annual impairment test on goodwill and will perform impairment tests during any reporting period in which events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may have incurred.

Lines of Credit	'
	NOTE K — Lines of Credit
	The Company has a $900.0 million ABL Credit Agreement with Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch (“Administrative Agent”) and other lenders party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year revolving credit facility and matures on February 22, 2017. The obligations of Mobile Mini and its subsidiary guarantors under the Credit Agreement are secured by a blanket lien on substantially all of our assets.
	Amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement and repaid or prepaid during the term may be reborrowed. Outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the Company’s option at either: (i) LIBOR plus a defined margin, or (ii) the Administrative Agent bank’s prime rate plus a margin. The applicable margin for each type of loan is based on an availability-based pricing grid and ranges from 1.75% to 2.25% for LIBOR loans and 0.75% to 1.25% for base rate loans at each measurement date. As of September 30, 2014, the applicable margins are 2.00% for LIBOR loans and 1.00% for base rate loans and will be remeasured at the end of the next measurement date, which is within ten days following the end of each fiscal quarter.
	Availability of borrowings under the Credit Agreement is subject to a borrowing base calculation based upon a valuation of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable, eligible container fleet (including containers held for sale, work-in-process and raw materials) and machinery and equipment, each multiplied by an applicable advance rate or limit. The lease fleet is appraised at least once annually by a third-party appraisal firm and up to 90% of the Net Orderly Liquidation Value (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is included in the borrowing base to determine how much the Company may borrow under the Credit Agreement.
	The Credit Agreement provides for U.K. borrowings, which are, at the Company’s option, denominated in either Pounds Sterling or Euros, by its U.K. subsidiary based upon a U.K. borrowing base; Canadian borrowings, which are denominated in Canadian dollars, by its Canadian subsidiary based upon a Canadian borrowing base; and U.S. borrowings, which are denominated in U.S. dollars, by the Company based upon a U.S. borrowing base.
	The Credit Agreement also contains customary negative covenants, including covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things: (i) allow certain liens to attach to the Company or its subsidiary assets; (ii) repurchase or pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments on capital stock and certain other securities, prepay certain indebtedness or make acquisitions or other investments subject to Payment Conditions (as defined in the Credit Agreement); and (iii) incur additional indebtedness or engage in certain other types of financing transactions. Payment Conditions allow restricted payments and acquisitions to occur without financial covenants as long as the Company has $225.0 million of pro forma excess borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement. The Company must also comply with specified financial maintenance covenants and affirmative covenants only if the Company falls below $90.0 million of borrowing availability levels with set permitted values for the Debt Ratio and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (each as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Company was in compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2014 and was above the minimum borrowing availability threshold and therefore not subject to any financial maintenance covenants or restricted from paying dividends or making stock repurchases.
	At September 30, 2014, the Company had approximately $307.4 million of borrowings outstanding and $585.9 million additional borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement, based upon borrowing base calculations as of such date.

Income Taxes	'
	NOTE L — Income Taxes
	The Company files U.S. Federal tax returns, U.S. state tax returns and foreign tax returns. The Company has identified its U.S. Federal tax return as its “major” tax jurisdiction. For the U.S. Federal return, its tax years for 2011, 2012 and 2013 are subject to tax examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service through September 15, 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively. 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 uses 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.
	Mobile Mini does not provide a tax liability for the undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries because it is the Company’s intent to permanently reinvest such earnings. In July 2013, the U.K.’s government authorized a reduction in the corporate income tax rate to 20% from the statutory rate of 23% authorized in 2012. This rate reduction only affected the Company’s U.K. operations and reduced the Company’s deferred tax liability in the U.K. by approximately $1.9 million in 2013. The tax reduction is reflected at the enacted rate in effect at the estimated date such amounts will be payable. The Company’s effective tax rate increased from 27.3% to 35.9% for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively, primarily due to the U.K.’s income tax rate reduction in 2013 in addition to the mix shift in North America’s and the U.K.’s contribution to pre-tax profit.
	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, if any, are recorded in leasing, selling and general expenses in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

	In November 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a share repurchase program authorizing up to $125.0 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock to be repurchased. The shares may be repurchased from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The share repurchases are subject to prevailing market conditions and other considerations. The share repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be suspended or terminated at any time by the Board. As of September 30, 2014, the Company has repurchased 649.0 thousand shares of its common stock for approximately $25.0 million under this program at an average price of $38.50 per share and all shares are held in treasury.
	During 2014, the Company withheld 11.2 thousand shares of restricted stock awards from employees, for a value of approximately $0.5 million, upon vesting of restricted stock to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations.

	NOTE P — Segment Reporting
	The Company has operations in North America and the U.K. The Company’s operating segments are similarly defined geographically. 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. Financial results are aggregated into two reportable segments, North America and the U.K., based on quantitative thresholds. All of the Company’s locations 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 its products, the Company does not believe such exposure will have a significant impact on its results of operations.
	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 its business model, EBITDA and consolidated EPS.

Acquisitions	'
	NOTE S – Acquisitions
	The Company enters new markets in one of three ways: (i) a new branch start-up, (ii) through acquiring a business consisting of the portable storage assets and related leases of other companies, or (iii) by establishing operational yards, which are new start-up locations that do not have all the overhead associated with a fully-staffed new branch start-up. An acquisition generally provides the Company with cash flow, which enables the Company to immediately cover the overhead cost at the newly acquired location. On occasion, the Company also purchases portable storage businesses in areas where the Company has existing small branches, either as part of multi-market acquisition or in order to increase the Company’s operating margins at those locations.
	On March 31, 2014, Mobile Mini acquired the portable storage assets and assumed certain liabilities of two businesses, one based in North Dakota and one in North Carolina. These acquisitions were effected pursuant to asset purchase agreements. Each of these acquisitions was integrated into the Company’s existing operations at each location.
	On June 30, 2014, the Company acquired two portable storage businesses, one through a stock purchase agreement and the other through an asset purchase agreement. One acquisition expanded the Company’s existing operations in the Texas and Tennessee markets and the other created a new location in the Connecticut market.
	During the third quarter of 2014, the Company acquired three portable storage businesses through asset purchase agreements. One acquisition expanded the Company’s existing operations in the Florida markets and the other acquisition allowed the Company to acquire a small competitor in the existing South Carolina market, while the third acquisition created a new location for the Company in the Indiana market.
	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the operations of the acquired businesses from the date of acquisition. The Company has not disclosed the pro-forma impact of the fiscal 2014 acquisitions as they were immaterial to the Company’s financial position and operations in the aggregate. The acquisitions were accounted for as a purchase of the business, with the purchased assets and assumed liabilities recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.
	The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been estimated in the aggregate as follows at September 30, 2014:
		Preliminary Acquisitions
		Fair Values
		(In thousands)
	Tangible assets:
	Receivables	$	385

	Non-compete agreements		179
	Goodwill		7,675

	NOTE U — Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
	The following tables reflect the condensed consolidating financial information of the Company’s domestic subsidiary guarantors of the Senior Notes and its non-guarantor subsidiaries.

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 the Company could realize in current market exchanges.
	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 revolving credit facility and capital leases approximate fair value. The fair values of the Company’s revolving credit facility and capital leases 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 revolving credit facility debt and capital leases at December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014 approximated their respective book values and are considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy described in Note C.
	The fair value of the Company’s $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% senior notes due 2020 (the “Senior Notes”) is $217.3 million and $214.0 million as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014, respectively. The fair value is based on the latest sales price of such notes at the end of each period obtained from a third-party institution and is considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy described in Note C, as there is not an active market for such notes.
Earnings Per Share	'
	Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated under the treasury stock method. Potential common shares include restricted common stock, which is subject to risk of forfeiture, incremental shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and vesting of nonvested stock awards.
Inventories	'
	Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (principally on a standard cost basis that approximates the first-in, first-out, or FIFO, method) or market. Market is the lower of replacement cost or net realizable value. Inventories primarily consist of raw materials and supplies, work-in-process and finished portable storage units, primarily related to remanufacturing and maintenance, of the Company’s lease fleet and its units held for sale. Raw materials and supplies principally consist of raw steel, wood, glass, paint and other assembly components used in the remanufacturing processes. Work-in-process primarily represents units being built that are either pre-sold or being built to add to the Company’s lease fleet upon completion. Finished portable storage units primarily represent ISO, or 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 to its lease fleet. There is no certainty when the Company purchases the containers whether they will ultimately be sold, remanufactured and sold, or remanufactured and moved into its lease fleet. Units that are placed into the Company’s lease fleet undergo an extensive remanufacturing process that includes installing its proprietary locking system, signage, painting and sometimes its proprietary security doors.
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. Improvements made to leased properties are amortized over the lesser of the estimated remaining life or the remaining term of the respective lease. 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 and is included in leasing, selling and general expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Fair Value Measurements, Policy	'
	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 adopted the suggested accounting guidance for the 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.
Lease Fleet, Policy	'
	The Company has a lease fleet primarily consisting of remanufactured and modified steel portable storage containers, steel security offices, steel combination offices and wood 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 estimated useful life of the Company’s units, after the date the units are placed 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 with an estimated residual value of 20%. The Company has other non-core products that have various other measures of useful lives and residual values. Van trailers and other non-core assets are typically only added to the fleet as a result of acquisitions of portable storage businesses.
	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 containers and mobile office units are expensed as incurred.
Segment Reporting, Policy	'
	The Company has operations in North America and the U.K. The Company’s operating segments are similarly defined geographically. 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. Financial results are aggregated into two reportable segments, North America and the U.K., based on quantitative thresholds. All of the Company’s locations 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 its products, the Company does not believe such exposure will have a significant impact on its results of operations.
	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 its business model, EBITDA and consolidated EPS.

The carrying value of these assets was written down to fair value in the second quarter of 2013. The estimate of the fair value of the assets held for sale was based on the Company’s understanding of market prices to be paid by third parties (See Note R).
