NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes appearing in the Partnership's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. 2. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal accruals, necessary to present fairly the Partnership's financial position at March 31, 2000, the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 and its cash flows for the three months then ended. 3. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. 4. During October 1998, we borrowed $12,400,000 from a commercial bank. The loan is unsecured and bears interest at the London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") plus 0.55% (6.68% as of March 31, 2000). The loan requires monthly payments of interest and matures October 2002. Principal may be paid, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium. We also entered into interest rate swap agreements to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on a portion of its floating rate debt. The agreement, which covers $5,000,000 of debt through October 2000, effectively changes the interest rate exposure from floating rate to a fixed rate of 5.205%. The second agreement, which covers $2,500,000 of debt through October 2001 and effectively changes the interest rate exposure from floating rate to a fixed rate of 5.33%. Market gains and losses on the value of the swap are deferred and included in income over the life of the contract. We record the differences paid or received on the interest rate swap in interest expense as payments are made or received. As of March 31, 2000 the unrealized gain on the interest swap, if required to be liquidated was approximately $85,000. 5. We sold during March 2000 excess land adjacent to one of our operating properties for $98,000. This resulted in a gain of $66,000 being realized in the first quarter of 2000. 6 PUBLIC STORAGE PROPERTIES, LTD., MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS - -------------------------- When used within this document, the words "expects," "believes," "anticipates," "should," "estimates," and similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, and in Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which may cause the actual results and performance of the Partnership to be materially different from those expressed or implied in the forward looking statements. Such factors include the impact of competition from new and existing real estate facilities which could impact rents and occupancy levels at the real estate facilities that the Partnership has an interest in; the Partnership's ability to effectively compete in the markets that it does business in; the impact of the regulatory environment as well as national, state, and local laws and regulations including, without limitation, those governing Partnerships; and the impact of general economic conditions upon rental rates and occupancy levels at the real estate facilities that the Partnership has an interest in. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999: Our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $706,000 compared to $468,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, representing an increase of $238,000 or 51%. These increases are primarily a result of the sale of excess land which resulted in a gain of $66,000 and increased property operating results combined with a decrease in interest expense. Rental income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $1,287,000 compared to $1,174,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, representing an increase of $113,000 or 10%. These increases are primarily attributable to higher rental rates and higher occupancy levels at our mini-warehouse facilities. The weighted average occupancy levels at the mini-warehouse facilities were 95% and 93% for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Annual realized rent for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased to $10.64 per occupied square foot from $9.94 per occupied square foot for the three months ended March 31,1999. Cost of operations (including management fees paid to an affiliate) for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $364,000 compared to $376,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, representing a decrease of $12,000 or 3%. This decrease is mainly attributable to decreases in professional fees. 7 Interest expense decreased $48,000 to $117,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $165,000 for the same period in 1999. This decrease is mainly attributable to lower outstanding principal balances. See Liquidity and Capital Resources for a discussion of the refinancing of the Partnership's indebtedness. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- Cash generated from operations ($852,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000) has been sufficient to meet all current obligations of the Partnership. During October 1998, we borrowed $12,400,000 from a commercial bank to payoff other loans. The loan is unsecured and bears interest at the London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") plus 0.55% (6.68% as of March 31, 2000). The loan requires monthly payments of interest and mature October 2002. Principal may be paid, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium. We have also entered into interest rate swap agreements to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on a portion of its floating rate debt. The agreement, which covers $5,000,000 of debt through October 2000, effectively changes the interest rate exposure from floating rate to a fixed rate of 5.205%. The second agreement, which covers $2,500,000 of debt through October 2001 and effectively changes the interest rate exposure from floating rate to a fixed rate of 5.33%. Market gains and losses on the value of the swap are deferred and included in income over the life of the contract. We record the differences paid or received on the interest rate swap in interest expense as payments are made or received. As of March 31, 2000, the unrealized gain on the interest rate swap, if required to be liquidated was approximately $85,000. Year 2000 System Issues - ----------------------- The Year 2000 Issue arises because many computerized systems use two digits rather than four to identify a year. Date sensitive systems may recognize the year 2000 as 1900 or some other date, resulting in errors when information using year 2000 dates is processed. In addition, similar problems may arise in some systems which use certain dates in 1999 to represent something other than a date. Although the change in date to the year 2000 has occurred and no Year 2000 Issues have been identified, it is not possible to conclude that all aspects of the Year 2000 Issue that may affect the entity, including those related to customers, suppliers, or other third parties, have been fully resolved. 8 PART II.
