MOBILE MINI, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES - NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - The accompanying  unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial  information and the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly,  they do
not include all the  information  and footnotes  required by generally  accepted
accounting  principles  for  complete  financial  statements.  In the opinion of
management,  all adjustments  (which include only normal recurring  adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the financial position,  results of operations,  and
cash flows for all periods  presented  have been made. The results of operations
for the  nine  month  period  ended  September  30,  1997  are  not  necessarily
indicative  of the  operating  results  that may be expected for the entire year
ending  December  31,  1997.  These  financial  statements  should  be  read  in
conjunction  with the  Company's  December  31, 1996  financial  statements  and
accompanying notes thereto.

Certain  amounts in the 1996  financial  statements  have been  reclassified  to
conform with the 1997 financial statement presentation.

NOTE B - Earnings  per common  share is computed  by dividing  net income by the
weighted average number of common share equivalents  assumed  outstanding during
the periods.  Fully  diluted  earnings per common share is  considered  equal to
primary earnings per share in all periods presented.

In March 1997,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 128,  "Earnings  per Share".  The
Company is required  to adopt SFAS No. 128 in the fourth  quarter of fiscal 1997
and, at that time, will restate prior periods earnings per share to conform with
SFAS No. 128. The effect of this  restatement  is not  significant on any period
presented.

NOTE  C -  Stockholders'  equity  in  the  accompanying  consolidated  financial
statements  has  been  restated  to  give  effect  to the  accounting  treatment
announced by the staff of the Securities and Exchange  Commission ("SEC") at the
March 13,  1997  meeting  of the  Emerging  Issues  Task Force  relevant  to the
Company's  issuance in 1995 of the Series A Convertible  Preferred  Stock having
"beneficial  conversion"  features.  The Series A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock
included  conversion  features  which  permitted  the  holders to convert  their
preferred shares to common shares at a fixed discount off of the market price of
the common shares when converted. Under this accounting treatment, the estimated
value of the fixed discount (20% of the closing price at the date of conversion)
has been accounted for as additional paid-in-capital. The difference between the
stated  value of the  Series A  Convertible  Preferred  Stock  and its  original
carrying value (i.e.,  fixed  discount) was accreted  through the first possible
conversion  date,  December  31,  1995,  as  preferred  stock  dividends.   This
restatement did not have any effect on cash flows of the Company.

NOTE D - The Company entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") in
March, 1996 with BT Commercial Corporation, as Agent for a group of lenders (the
"Lenders").  Under the terms of the Credit  Agreement,  the Lenders provided the
Company with a $35.0  million  revolving  line of credit and a $6.0 million term
loan.  In July,  1997,  the  revolving  line of credit  was  increased  to $40.0
million.  Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all
of the Company's assets.
                                       6
<PAGE>
In  connection  with the closing of the Credit  Agreement,  the  Company  repaid
long-term debt and obligations under capital leases totaling $14.1 million. As a
result,  costs previously  deferred related to this  indebtedness and prepayment
penalties  resulted  in  an  extraordinary   charge  to  earnings  in  1996,  of
approximately $410,000 after the benefit of income taxes.

NOTE E - In July 1997, the Company completed a private placement of $3.0 million
of 12% senior  subordinated  notes (the "Bridge Notes") and warrants to purchase
50,000 shares of Mobile Mini, Inc.  common stock at $5.00 per share.  The Bridge
Notes were due the earlier of July 31, 2002, or on the refinancing of the Bridge
Notes on  substantially  similar terms. In October 1997, the Company issued $6.9
million of 12% Senior  Subordinated Notes ("Notes") with redeemable  warrants to
purchase  172,500 shares of the Company's  common stock at $5.00 per share.  The
Notes are due November 1, 2002. From the proceeds of the sale of the Notes,  the
Company repaid the $3.0 million in Bridge Notes and accrued interest and reduced
the borrowings  outstanding  under the revolving line under the Credit Agreement
with the  remainder  of the net  proceeds.  The  warrants  issued to Bridge Note
holders were canceled, and the holders received 15,000 shares of common stock in
consideration for such  cancellation.  The proceeds received by the Company from
the sale of the Notes will be  allocated  between  the 12% Notes and the related
warrants based on the respective fair values of each  instrument.  The resulting
discount  increases  the  effective  interest  rate  of the  Notes  and  will be
amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

NOTE F - The Company's  publicly  traded  warrants issued in connection with the
Company's  initial public  offering have been extended to expire on February 17,
1998.

NOTE G - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market,  with cost being
determined  under the  specific  identification  method.  Market is the lower of
replacement cost or net realizable value. Inventories consisted of the following
at:

                                          September 30, 1997   December 31, 1996

                                              ==========           ==========

NOTE H - The Company maintains a container lease fleet consisting of refurbished
or constructed containers, office units and modular buildings that are leased to
customers with varying terms.  Depreciation is provided using the  straight-line
method over the containers' and modular buildings'  estimated useful lives of 20
years  with  salvage  values  estimated  at  70% of  cost.  In  the  opinion  of
management,  estimated salvage values do not cause carrying values to exceed net
realizable  value.  Normal repairs and maintenance to the containers and modular
buildings  are expensed as incurred.  As of September  30, 1997,  the  Company's
lease  fleet,  net of  depreciation,  was $46.0  million as compared to $34.3 at
December 31, 1996.

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to
                      Three Months Ended September 30, 1996

         Revenues  for the quarter  ended  September  30, 1997 were  $11,500,000
which  represents a 2.9% increase over revenues of  $11,175,000  for the quarter
ended  September 30, 1996.  Revenues  from the sales of the  Company's  products
decreased  26.3%  while  the  revenues  from the  leasing  of  portable  storage
containers  and  office  units  increased  37.5%.  Revenues  from the  Company's
trucking and other related leasing  activities  increased 52.0%. The decrease of
product sales primarily reflects  management's  decision and efforts to increase
its core leasing  business in addition to the  Company's  discontinuance  of the
lower margin modular building  operations which contributed  $1,300,000 of sales
in the third quarter of 1996.  The increase in lease  revenues  resulted from an
increase in the average per unit  container  rental rate,  yielding  3.9%, and a
29.7% increase in the average number of containers on lease. The increase in the
Company's other revenues,  primarily related to trucking service income and loss
limitation waiver income, is associated with the increased leasing revenues.

         Cost of  container  and other sales as a percentage  of  container  and
other sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 was 66.1% compared to 84.4%
for the  same  quarter  in  1996.  This  decrease  partially  resulted  from the
discontinuation of the lower margin modular building line, in addition to higher
margins on all other product sales.

         Leasing,  selling and general  expenses  were 46.0% of total revenue in
the quarter  ended  September  30, 1997  compared to 32.9% in the quarter  ended
September 30, 1996. This increase  reflects the additional costs associated with
maintaining  a larger  container  lease  fleet and  support  equipment,  and the
additional administrative costs and staff to support this growth.

         Interest expense was 11.5% of revenues during the third quarter of 1997
compared  to 8.7% of revenues  during the  quarter  ended  September  30,  1996.
Interest expense increased $343,000 primarily due to the growth in the Company's
leasing  operations  and the  related  borrowings  to finance  that  growth,  in
addition to higher interest costs related to the Bridge Notes,  partially offset
by a lower weighted average borrowing rate under the Credit Agreement.

         Depreciation and  amortization  increased from 4.0% of revenues for the
three  months  ended  September  30,  1996 to 5.2% for the  three  months  ended
September 30, 1997.  This results from the increase in the Company's lease fleet
and the acquisition of additional equipment at the Company's various locations.

         The Company posted a 70.4% increase in net income to $663,000, or $0.10
per share for the quarter  ended  September  30, 1997  compared to net income of
$389,000  or $0.06 per share  during  the same  period in the prior  year.  This
increase is primarily a result of increased leasing and leasing related revenues
and higher profit margins on sales partially offset by higher administrative and
interest costs. The Company's effective tax rate remained unchanged at 44.0%.

                Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to
                      Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996

         Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were $33,343,000,
a 9.8% increase over revenues of $30,376,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1996.  Revenues from the sales of the  Company's  products  decreased  9.4%,
while the revenues  from the leasing of portable  storage and from the Company's
trucking and other related  leasing  activities  increased 34.2% and represented
53.7% of total  revenue  compared  to 43.9% for the same  period  in 1996.  This
increase in lease and lease  related  revenues  primarily is a result of a 23.4%
increase  in the  average  number of  containers  on lease,  an  increase in the
average per unit  container  rental  rate,  yielding  3.4%.  The increase in the
Company's other revenues,  primarily related to trucking service income and loss
limitation waiver income, is associated with the increased leasing revenues.

         Cost of  container  and other sales as a percentage  of  container  and
other sales for the nine months ended  September 30, 1997 was 72.0%  compared to
84.7% for the same period in 1996.  This  decrease  primarily  resulted  from an
increase in sales of the  Company's  higher margin  telecommunication  shelters,
increase in the Company's national dealer program and efficiencies realized as a
result of the discontinuation in 1996 of the Company's modular building line.

         Leasing,  selling and general  expenses were 43.7% of total revenue for
the nine months ended  September  30, 1997  compared to 35.5% in the nine months
ended  September 30, 1996.  The increase is the result of  additional  operating
costs to support  the  increased  leasing  operations.  These  additional  costs
included  higher  maintenance  costs  associated  with a larger  trucking fleet,
additional equipment to maintain, service and transport a larger container lease
fleet,  and  increased  personnel  costs and  related  benefits  to support  the
continued growth of the leasing operations.

         Interest  expense  was 10.7% of revenues  during the nine months  ended
September  30, 1997  compared to 9.6% of revenues  during the nine months  ended
September 30, 1996.  This increase is related to financing the Company's  growth
in its  container  lease  fleet and  equipment  which  permitted  the Company to
continue  improving its leasing revenue.  This increase is partially offset by a
1.2% decrease in the Company's  weighted  average  borrowing rate as a result of
lower  interest  rates  under the  Credit  Agreement  (including  the  effect of
amortization  of additional debt issuance costs in connection with the Company's
Credit Agreement).

         Depreciation and  amortization  increased from 4.0% of revenues for the
nine month  period  ended  September  30, 1996 to 4.8% for the nine month period
ended  September 30, 1997,  as a result of the increase in the  Company's  lease
fleet and the  acquisition  of  additional  support  equipment at the  Company's
various locations.

         The Company posted a net income of $1,385,000,  or $0.20 per share, for
the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997  compared  to net  income  before
extraordinary  item of $598,000,  or $0.09 per share,  during the same period in
1996.  This increase is primarily a result of increased  revenues and the higher
profit margins on sales partially  offset by higher  administrative  costs.  The
Company's  effective  tax rate remained  unchanged at 44.0%.  During the quarter
ended March 31, 1996,  the Company  prepaid  certain debt and capital  leases in
connection with entering into a new credit agreement.  The Company recognized an
extraordinary  charge to  earnings  of  $410,000  or $.06 per share,  net of the
benefit for income taxes, as a result of this early extinguishment of debt.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's  business plan is to continue to increase the size of its
container  lease fleet and related  property,  plant and equipment.  The Company
will require  additional  financing  to sustain  such growth.  The growth in the
container  lease fleet and related  property,  plant and equipment over the past
year was primarily funded through the Company's Credit Agreement, which includes
a revolving  line of credit (the  "Revolving  Line") with  permitted  borrowings
based on the level of the Company's inventories, receivables and the size of its
container lease fleet.

         In  July  1997,   the  Company   issued  $3.0  million  of  12%  senior
subordinated  notes (the "Bridge Notes") with warrants to purchase 50,000 shares
of the Company's  common stock at $5.00 per share.  Proceeds of the Bridge Notes
were  initially  used to reduce  the  Revolving  Line.  Simultaneously  with the
issuance of the Bridge Notes, the Company's lenders increased the Revolving Line
by an additional $5.0 million,  to $40.0 million of borrowing  availability.  In
October,  1997, the Company issued $6.9 million of 12% senior subordinated notes
with  redeemable  warrants to purchase  172,500  shares of the Company's  common
stock at $5.00 per share. The notes are due November 1, 2002. The Company repaid
the $3.0  million  Bridge Notes and accrued  interest and reduced the  Revolving
Line with the remainder of the net proceeds.  The warrants issued to the holders
of the Bridge Notes were  canceled and 15,000 shares of Common Stock were issued
in consideration of the cancellation.

         As of September 30, 1997,  the Company had  borrowings  outstanding  of
$36,524,000 under the Revolving Line and $3,163,000 of additional  borrowing was
available  under  that  line.  As a result  of the  issuance  of the 12%  senior
subordinated  notes and  application of the net proceeds,  additional  borrowing
availability under the Revolving Line had increased to $7,742,000 on October 14,
1997.

         During  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997,  the  Company's
operations provided cash of $2,690,000.  This primarily reflects the increase in
leasing  operations,  improved  sale margins in addition to increases in accrued
payables,  liabilities  and  deferred  income  taxes,  a function of net income,
partially  offset by  increased  trade  receivables,  a  function  of  increased
revenues, inventories and other assets.

         The Company invested $13,808,000 in its container lease fleet and other
equipment during the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This amount is net of
$1,556,000 in sales of containers from the lease fleet.

         Cash flow provided by financing  activities totaled $11,718,000 for the
nine months ended  September 30, 1997.  This  financing was utilized to fund the
increase in the container lease fleet,  related  property,  plant and equipment,
and  inventory  levels,  which was  partially  offset by  principal  payments on
long-term debt and capitalized leases.

         The Company  believes  that its current  capitalization,  including the
issuance of the 12% senior  subordinated  notes in October 1997 and the increase
in  available  borrowings  under  the  Revolving  Line  portion  of  the  Credit
Agreement,  will be sufficient  to maintain its current level of operations  and
permit controlled growth over the next 12 months. However, should demand for the
Company's products exceed current expectation,  or should the Company expand its
operations  into several  additional  markets,  the Company would be required to
secure  additional  financing  through  debt  or  equity  offerings,  additional
borrowings or a combination  of these
                                       10

sources. However, there is no assurance that any such financing will be obtained
or obtained on terms acceptable to the Company.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

         The results of operations of the Company for the periods discussed have
not been significantly affected by inflation.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE OPERATING  RESULTS,  AND "SAFE HARBOR"  STATEMENT
UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

         Statements  in this  Report  which  include  such  words as  "believe",
"intends"  or  "anticipates",  such as the  statement  regarding  the  Company's
ability to meet its obligations and capital needs during the next 12 months, are
forward-looking  statements. The occurrence of one or more unanticipated events,
however, including a decrease in cash flow generated from operations, a material
increase in the  borrowing  rates under the Credit  Agreement  (which  rates are
based on the prime rate or the Eurodollar  rates in effect from time to time), a
material  increase or decrease in prevailing  market prices for used containers,
or a change in general economic conditions resulting in decreased demand for the
Company's  products,  could  cause  actual  results  to differ  materially  from
anticipated  results and have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability
to meet its obligations and capital needs,  and cause future  operating  results
and other events not to occur as presently anticipated.  The Company issued $6.9
million of senior  subordinated  notes in  October  1997,  in a public  offering
subject to its  Registration  Statement.  That  Registration  Statement  and the
Prospectus,  dated  October 8, 1997,  which is a part of it (the  "Prospectus"),
include a section entitled "Risk Factors",  which describes certain factors that
may affect  future  operating  results of the  Company.  That  section is hereby
incorporated  by reference in this Report.  Those  factors  should be considered
carefully in evaluating an investment in the Company's  Common Stock.  If you do
not have a copy of the Prospectus,  you may obtain one by requesting it from the

ITEM 2.           CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

         On July 31, 1997, the Company  issued $3.0 million in principal  amount
of its 12% Senior  Subordinated  Notes Due 2002 ("Bridge Notes") to Arizona Land
Income  Corporation (the  "Noteholder"),  a publicly-held real estate investment
trust,  in a  transaction  exempt  from  the  registration  requirements  of the
Securities  Act of 1933  pursuant  to Section  4(2)  thereof  and  Regulation  D
thereunder.  The  Company  also  issued to the  Noteholder  warrants to purchase
50,000  shares  of  Common  Stock  at an  exercise  price  of  $5.00  per  share
("Warrants").  The aggregate purchase price of the Bridge Notes and Warrants was
$3.0 million. The Bridge Notes were repaid in October 1997 with a portion of the
net  proceeds of the  Company's  public  offering of $6.9  million in  principal
amount of its 12% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2002, at which time the Warrants
were canceled in  consideration  of the  Company's  issuance of 15,000 shares of
restricted  Common  Stock to the  Noteholder  in a  transaction  exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 4(2)
and Regulation D described above.
