Consolidated Statements of Income to provide additional disclosure regarding the material components of our rental operations. We believe separately presenting services revenues and costs enables management, investors and other financial statement
users to better analyze the various drivers of each business segment&#146;s financial performance. These drivers include the pricing of recurring rental revenues, referred to as &#147;rental rate&#148;, the total return (&#147;yield&#148;) of rental
revenues compared to the original cost of rental equipment and the revenues and costs of rental related services. While the accounting method for delivery and return delivery services for our modular buildings is different from our other rental
divisions, separately presenting these revenues and costs as &#147;Rental Related Services&#148; is useful information </P>
