                       PUBLIC STORAGE PROPERTIES IV, LTD.
                     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, 2000.

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, 2001, the results of its operations for the three
         months  ended  March 31, 2001 and 2000 and its cash flows for the three
         months then ended.

3.       The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 are
         not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

4.       Marketable  securities  at March 31, 2001 consist of 381,980  shares of
         common  stock and  12,412  shares of Equity  Stock,  Series A of Public
         Storage,  Inc., a publicly  traded real estate  investment  trust and a
         general partner of the Partnership. We have designated our portfolio of
         marketable securities as available for sale. Accordingly,  at March 31,
         2001, we have recorded the marketable  securities at fair value,  based
         upon the closing  quoted  prices of the  securities  at March 31, 2001.
         Changes in market  value of  marketable  securities  are  reflected  as
         unrealized gains or losses directly in Partners' Equity and accordingly
         have no effect on net income.

5.       During September 1998, we borrowed  $21,000,000 from a commercial bank.
         The loan is  unsecured  and  bears  interest  at the  London  Interbank
         Offering Rate,  ("LIBOR") rounded up to the nearest .125% plus 0.60% to
         1.20%  depending on our interest  coverage  ratio  (5.725% at March 31,
         2001).  The loan  requires  monthly  payments of  interest  and matures
         September 2002. Principal may be paid, in whole or in part, at any time
         without penalty or premium.

6.       In June  1998,  the  FASB  issued  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
         Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"),  "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
         and  Hedging  Activities,"  as  amended  in June 2000 by  Statement  of
         Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 138 ("SFAS 138"),  "Accounting for
         Certain Derivative  Instruments and Certain Hedging  Activities," which
         requires  companies to recognize  all  derivatives  as either assets or
         liabilities  in the balance sheet and measure such  instruments at fair
         value.  As amended by Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No.
         137 ("SFAS 137"),  "Accounting  for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging
         Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133,"
         the provisions of SFAS 133 will require  adoption by the Partnership on
         January 1, 2001. The  Partnership  adopted SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS
         138, on January 1, 2001, and the adoption had no material impact on the
         Partnership's consolidated financial statements.

                       PUBLIC STORAGE PROPERTIES IV, 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, 2001  compared to three months ended March
31, 2000:

         Our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $1,575,000
compared to $1,284,000  for the three months ended March 31, 2000,  representing
an increase of $291,000 or 23%. The increase was primarily a result of increased
operating  results at our real  estate  facilities  and a decrease  in  interest
expense.

         Rental income for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was  $2,566,000
compared to $2,336,000  for the three months ended March 31, 2000,  representing
an increase of $230,000 or 10%. The increase was  attributable  to higher rental
rates.  Annual realized rent for the three months ended March 31, 2001 increased
to $13.01 per occupied  square foot from $11.33 per occupied square foot for the
three  months  ended March 31, 2000,  a 14.8%  increase.  The  weighted  average
occupancy levels at the  mini-warehouse  facilities were 92% and 94% for each of
the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

         Cost of operations  (including  management  fees paid to affiliate) for
the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $706,000  compared to $669,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2000, representing a increase of $37,000 or 6%.

         Interest  expense  decreased  $89,000 to $115,000  in the three  months
ended March 31, 2001 from  $204,000 in the same period in 2000.  The decrease is
attributable to a lower outstanding principal balance.

                                       8



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

         Cash flows from operating  activities  ($1,913,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2001) have been  sufficient to meet all current  obligations  of
the Partnership.

         During September 1998, we borrowed  $21,000,000 from a commercial bank.
The loan is unsecured and bears interest at the London  Interbank  Offering Rate
("LIBOR")  rounded up to the nearest .125% plus 0.60% to 1.20%  depending on our
interest  coverage ratio (5.725% at March 31, 2001).  The loan requires  monthly
payments of interest and matures September 2002. Principal may be paid, in whole
or in part, at any time without penalty or premium.
