We may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the merger with Mobile Storage Group, and the integration process could adversely impact our ongoing operations. We will take on substantial additional indebtedness to finance the merger and this additional indebtedness could significantly impact Mobile Mini s ability to operate its business. Our planned growth could strain our management resources, which could disrupt our development of our new branch locations. Our expansion may divert our resources from other aspects of our business and require that we incur additional debt, and may subject us to additional and different regulations. Failure to manage these economic, financial, business and regulatory risks may adversely impact our growth and results of operations. Covenants in our debt instruments restrict or prohibit our ability to engage in or enter into a variety of transactions. We operate with a high amount of debt and we may incur significant additional indebtedness. We may need additional debt or equity to sustain our growth, but we do not have commitments for such funds beyond financing commitments related to our merger with Mobile Storage Group. Fluctuations between the British pound and U.S. dollar could adversely affect our results of operations. The supply and cost of used ocean-going containers fluctuates, and this can affect our pricing and our ability to grow. The supply and cost of raw materials we use in manufacturing fluctuates and could increase our operating costs. Some zoning laws in the United States and Canada and temporary planning permission regulations in Europe restrict the use of our portable storage and office units and therefore limit our ability to offer our products in all markets. Unionization by some or all of our employees could cause increases in operating costs. We depend on a few key management persons.
