We look forward to completing the acquisition of the assets of National Security Containers which, as previously reported, adds three new locations and gives us greater market share in six cities where Mobile Mini already has locations. We are especially pleased by the growth in same-store leasing revenues achieved in the first quarter and by the smooth integration of the three acquisitions completed in 1998. Of note, the number of containers on lease at these three locations has increased by approximately 70% from the date of acquisition.''
