Item 4. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On June 10, 2002, the Board of Directors of Mobile Mini, Inc. (“Mobile Mini”) determined, in consultation with and upon the recommendation of its Audit Committee, to dismiss its independent auditors, Arthur Andersen LLP (“Arthur Andersen”), and to engage the services of Ernst & Young LLP (“Ernst & Young”) as its new independent auditors. The change in auditors became effective June 10, 2002.
The audit reports of Arthur Andersen on the consolidated financial statements of Mobile Mini as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During Mobile Mini’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2001, and through the date of this Form 8-K, there were no disagreements between Mobile Mini and Arthur Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Arthur Andersen’s satisfaction, would have caused Arthur Andersen to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on Mobile Mini’s consolidated financial statements for such years.
None of the reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurred during Mobile Mini’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2001, or through the date of this Form 8-K.
Mobile Mini provided Arthur Andersen a copy of the foregoing disclosures. Attached as Exhibit 16.1 is a copy of Arthur Andersen’s letter dated June 13, 2002 stating that it has found no basis for disagreement with such statements.
During Mobile Mini’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2001, and through the date of this Form 8-K, Mobile Mini did not consult Ernst & Young with respect to any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
