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 accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States 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 three month period ended March 31, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the
entire year ending December 31, 2000. These financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the Company's December 31, 1999 financial statements and
accompanying notes thereto.

NOTE B - The Company adopted SFAS No. 128 Earnings per Share in 1997. Pursuant
to SFAS No. 128, basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during the period. Diluted earnings per common share are determined assuming
that options were exercised at the beginning of each period or at the time of
issuance. The following table shows the computation of earnings per share for
the three month period ended March 31:

NOTE E - The Company maintains a portable storage unit lease fleet consisting
primarily of refurbished or manufactured containers and portable offices that
are leased to customers under short-term operating lease agreements with varying
terms. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method with an estimated
useful life of 20 years and a salvage value estimated at approximately 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 lease fleet are expensed when incurred. As of March 31, 2000, the
portable storage unit lease fleet was $138.9 million as compared to $125.3
million at December 31, 1999, net of accumulated depreciation of $4.6 million
and $4.1 million, respectively.

NOTE F - The Company adopted SFAS No. 131 Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information, effective December 31, 1998. SFAS No. 131
superseded SFAS No. 14, Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business
Enterprise. The adoption of SFAS No. 131 did not affect results of operations or
financial position, but did affect the disclosure of segment information.

The Company's management approach includes evaluating each segment on which
operating decisions are made based on performance, results and profitability.
The Company currently has one reportable segment, branch operations. The branch
operations segment includes the leasing and sales of portable storage units to
businesses and consumers in the general geographic area of each branch. This
segment also includes the Company's manufacturing facilities which are
responsible for the purchase, manufacturing and refurbishment of the Company's
products for leasing, sales or equipment additions to the Company's delivery
system, and its discontinued dealer program. Previously, the Company had a
corporate sales segment, which related to specialty type product sales and
included the telecommunications and modular divisions of the Company. This
segment is now included in "other" as the modular program was discontinued and
the Company has de-emphasized the sales of telecommunication units.

The Company evaluates performance and profitability before interest costs,
depreciation, income taxes and major non-recurring transactions. The Company
does not account for intersegment revenues or expenses between its divisions.

                                       7
<PAGE>   8
The Company's reportable segment concentrates on the Company's core business of
leasing, manufacturing, and selling portable storage and office units. Included
in the branch operations segment are residual sales from the Company's dealer
division that was discontinued in 1998. The operating segment has managers who
meet regularly and are accountable to the chief executive officer for financial
results and ongoing plans including the influence of competition.

NOTE G - On March 3, 2000 the Company acquired the portable storage container
lease fleet of Advanced Mobile Storage, a San Antonio, Texas based leasing
company and an affiliated entity for cash, common stock and assumption of debt.
This acquisition gives the Company a presence in two new Texas locations, El
Paso and the South Texas region, in addition to our existing Texas locations in
Dallas/Ft. Worth, San Antonio and Austin.

In April, the Company entered several Florida markets by way of two cash
acquisitions. On April 10, 2000, the Company acquired substantially all the
portable storage assets of Diversified Container Services, Inc., a
privately-owned portable storage leasing company operating in Jacksonville,
Florida. On April 13, 2000, the Company acquired the portable storage assets of
A-1 Trailer Rental Ltd., which had portable storage leasing operations in Tampa,
Orlando, Ft. Myers and Miami, Florida.

The Company also began a start up operation in Seattle, Washington early this
year.

The acquisitions were accounted for as purchases in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 16 and, accordingly, the purchased assets and
assumed liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values at the
acquisition date.

At May 5, 2000, the Company operated 27 branches located in 13 states.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                  THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED TO
                        THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

         Our total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 increased by
42.5% to $18.8 million from $13.2 million for the same period in 1999. Leasing
revenues for the quarter increased by 50.4% to $15.1 million from $10.0 million
in the same period of 1999. The increase in our leasing revenues resulted
primarily from a 46.1% increase in the average number of portable storage units
on lease and a 1.2% higher average rental rate per unit. Leasing revenues in the
current quarter include the operations of five acquisitions completed during the
past year; none of these operations were included in our results for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999. Our sales of portable storage units for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 increased by 17.7% to $3.6 million from $3.0 million in the
same period in 1999. This increase in sales primarily resulted from sales in the
markets we entered during the past twelve months.

         Cost of sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 decreased to 64.5%
of sales revenues ($2.3 million) from 65.5% of sales revenues ($2.0 million) in
the same quarter in 1999. This increase in our profit margin on sales resulted
from efficiencies in our manufacturing plant associated with the increased
volume of units primarily at the new locations.

         Our leasing, selling and general expenses for the quarter ended March
31, 2000 increased to $9.2 million, or 48.9% of total revenues, from $6.6
million, or 50.2% of total revenues, for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. This
increase resulted mainly from an increase in the number of branches in
operation. We had 22 branch locations at March 31, 2000 compared to 13 branch
locations one year earlier. In addition, we grew our existing branches, so they
had increased sales, administrative and operating expenses. These expenses in
the 2000 quarter decreased as a percentage of revenues compared to the 1999
quarter principally because of economies of scale achieved since March 31, 1999.

         Depreciation and amortization expenses during the 2000 quarter
increased by approximately 59.7% to $1.3 million from $808,000 during the same
period in 1999. This expense was 6.9% of total revenues during the 2000 quarter,
compared to approximately 6.1%, during the same period in 1999. This increase is
due primarily to growth in the size of our lease fleet over the past twelve
months and to our leasing activities being a larger part of our business than in
earlier years.

         Our operating margin was 32.0% during the quarter ended March 31, 2000,
compared to 28.6% for the same period in 1999. Our operating margins are
typically higher on leasing than on sales of units, and are increasing as we
take advantage of the economies of scale that we are beginning to achieve in our
core leasing business. As a result, income from operations increased by 59.2% to
$6.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 from $3.8 million for the same
period in 1999.

         Interest expense remained constant at $1.6 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999. Our weighed average interest rate
declined to 7.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from 7.9% for the
same period in 1999, excluding amortization of debt issuance costs. This decline
in the average interest rate and the corresponding effect of keeping our
interest expense constant was primarily the result of two factors: our public
offering of our common stock in May 1999 which resulted in net proceeds to us of
approximately $36.9 million that we used initially to pay down our line of
credit; and the November 1999 redemption of $6.9 million of our Senior
Subordinated Notes which had a stated interest rate of 12% per annum. These
factors were partially offset by a 15.9% increase our average debt outstanding.
The increase in our outstanding debt was incurred primarily to expand our lease
fleet and our operations through acquisitions of portable storage leasing
assets many


                                       9
<PAGE>   10
of which were in new markets. Our interest rate under our credit facility,
including the effect of our interest rate swap agreement, remained constant at
7.1% for both periods.

         Our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $2.7
million, or $0.23 per diluted share of common stock, compared to $1.3 million,
or $0.15 per diluted share of common stock for the same period in 1999. This
103.9% increase was primarily due to higher lease revenues and higher operating
margins in 2000. We had a 40.9% increase in the number of common and common
share equivalents outstanding in 2000 due primarily to the sale of approximately
3.0 million shares of common stock in a public offering in May and June 1999.
Our effective tax rate was constant at 40.0% for both year's quarters.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Our leasing and manufacturing business is very capital intensive. We
finance our working capital requirements through cash flows from operations,
proceeds from equity and debt financings and borrowings under our credit
facility.

         Operating Activities. Our operations provided net cash flow of $2.5
million during the three months ended March 31, 2000 and $1.5 million during the
same period in 1999. This increased cash flow resulted primarily from our higher
net income and increases in deferred income taxes. An increase in inventories,
deposits and pre-paid expenses and a decrease in accrued liabilities was
partially offset by increased accounts payable. The increase in deposits and
pre-paid expenses primarily related to committed purchases at March 31, 2000 for
our portable lease fleet which were generally delivered in April. Increases also
resulted from the growth of our portable storage leasing business.

         Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $19.6
million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and $4.8 million for the same
period in 1999. This use of cash was primarily for acquisitions of businesses
and increased purchases of property, plant and equipment. Capital expenditures
for our portable storage unit fleet expansion were $7.1 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and $3.7 million for the same period in 1999.

         Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was
$17.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and $3.3 million for the
same period in 1999. During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, net cash provided
by financing activities was primarily $17.6 million of net borrowings under our
credit facility, as compared to $4.2 million of net borrowings in the same
period in 1999. The borrowings were used primarily to fund our acquisitions and
to grow our lease fleet. Our cash provided by financing activities in the first
quarter of 2000 was partially offset by $507,000 in principal payments on notes
payable and capitalized lease obligations.

         Effective in September 1998, we entered into an Interest Rate Swap
Agreement (the Agreement), under which Mobile Mini is designated as the fixed
rate payer with a base rate of 5.5% per annum. Under the Agreement, we
effectively fixed, for a three year period, the interest rate payable on $30
million of our revolving line of credit so that the rate is based upon a spread
from 5.5%, rather than a spread from the Eurodollar rate.

         Since March 1996, our principal source of liquidity has been our credit
facility, which currently consists of an $120 million revolving line of credit
and a term loan with a balance of $5.8 million at March 31, 2000. The interest
rate under our credit facility is determined quarterly, based on our ratio of
funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA). As of March 31, 2000, we had $89.2 million of outstanding borrowings
under our credit facility and $28.9 million of additional borrowings were
available. Our borrowing rate was 1.25% above the prevailing Eurodollar rate. As
of May 5, 2000, we had $104.6 million of outstanding borrowings under our credit
facility and $15.4 million of additional borrowings were available.

                                       10
<PAGE>   11
         We believe that our working capital, together with our cash flow from
operations, borrowing availability under our $120 million credit facility and
other available funding sources will be sufficient to fund our operations for
the next 12 months. We believe that in order to maintain our growth rate we may
be required to obtain additional debt financing and to raise additional equity
capital in the future. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to
continue to obtain debt or equity financing on acceptable terms.

SEASONALITY

         Although demand from some of our customers is somewhat seasonal, our
operations as a whole have not been 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 inventory for the holiday season. Our
retail customers usually return these leased units to us early in the following
year. This has caused lower utilization rates for our lease fleet and a marginal
decrease in cash flow during the first quarter of the past several years.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

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

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         We seek to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with
changes in interest rates by entering into financial arrangements 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.

         An interest rate swap agreement is the only instrument we use to manage
interest rate fluctuations affecting our variable rate debt. We currently have
one outstanding interest rate swap agreement under which we pay a fixed rate and
receive a variable interest rate on $30.0 million of debt. At March 31, 2000,
there had been no material changes in the reported market risks since December
31, 1999.

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 our ability to meet
our 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 our credit facility (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 our
products, could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated
results and have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our
obligations and capital needs, and cause future operating results and other
events not to occur as presently anticipated. Our annual report, Form 10-K,
filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, includes a section
entitled "Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results", which describes
certain factors that may affect our future operating results. That section is
hereby incorporated by reference in this Report. Those factors should be
considered carefully in evaluating an investment in our common stock. If you do
not have a copy of the Form 10-K, you may obtain one by requesting it from the
Company's Investor Relations Department at (480) 894-6311 or by mail to Mobile
Mini, Inc., 1834 West Third Street, Tempe, Arizona 85281. Our filings with the
SEC, including the Form 10-K, may be accessed at the SEC's World Wide Web site
