                     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,
     1995.

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 September 30, 1996, the results of its operations for the three and nine
     months  ended  September  30, 1996 and 1995 and its cash flows for the nine
     months then ended.

3.   The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,
     1996 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results  expected for the full
     year.

4.   Certain prior year amounts have been  reclassified to conform with the 1996
     presentation.

5.   Marketable  securities at September  30, 1996 consist of 297,130  shares of
     common  stock of Public  Storage,  Inc.,  a  publicly  traded  real  estate
     investment trust and a general partner of the Partnership.  The Partnership
     has  designated  its  portfolio of  marketable  securities as available for
     sale. Accordingly,  at September 30, 1996, the Partnership has recorded the
     marketable  securities at fair value,  based upon the closing quoted prices
     of the  securities at September 30, 1996,  and a  corresponding  unrealized
     gain totaling $1,077,000 as a credit to Partnership equity.

                                       6



6.   In 1995, the Partnership  prepaid eight months of 1996 management fees at a
     cost of $265,000.  The amount has been amortized as management fees paid to
     affiliate during the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

7.   In 1993, the Partnership  reached a settlement  with its insurance  carrier
     for  damage  sustained  to the  property  located  in Miami,  Florida  from
     Hurricane  Andrew in August 1992 and for  business  interruption  while the
     facility was being  reconstructed.  The settlement provided for the payment
     of  $2,987,000  consisting of (i)  reconstruction  and related costs of the
     facility and (ii) business  interruption.  The insurance  proceeds received
     with  respect to  reconstruction  were  recorded  on the  balance  sheet as
     "Advances to reconstruct  real estate facility" and has been reduced by the
     amount of actual  costs  paid with  respect  to the  reconstruction  of the
     facility.  The  facility  recommenced  operations  in October  1994 and the
     reconstruction of the facility was completed in the second quarter of 1995.
     The balance of $236,000 in Advances to Reconstruct Real Estate Facility was
     recognized as income  during the second  quarter of 1995 and is included in
     Other income on the Condensed Statements of Income.

                       PUBLIC STORAGE PROPERTIES IV, LTD.
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

     THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED  SEPTEMBER  30, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE AND NINE
     MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995:

     The  Partnership's  net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
and 1995 was $1,254,000 and $1,244,000, respectively, representing a increase of
$10,000 or 1%. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995
was $445,000 and $383,000,  respectively,  representing a increase of $62,000 or
16%.  The  increases  in net  income  for both the three and nine  months  ended
September  30,  1996 is an increase in  operating  results at the  Partnership's
mini-warehouse facilities combined with decreased interest expense.

     Rental income was  $5,490,000  compared to  $5,257,000  for the nine months
ended  September 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively,  representing  an increase of
$233,000 or 4%. Rental  income was  $1,868,000  compared to  $1,798,000  for the
three months ended  September 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively,  representing an
increase  of  $70,000 or 4%.  These  increases  are  primarily  attributable  to
increases  in  rental   rates  and   occupancy   levels  at  the   Partnership's
mini-warehouse   facilities.  The  weighted  average  occupancy  levels  at  the
mini-warehouse  facilities  were 89% and 86% for the nine months ended September
30,  1996 and 1995,  respectively.  Realized  rent  remained  stable at $.78 per
occupied  square  foot for the nine  months  ended  September  30, 1996 and 1995
respectively.

     Other income  decreased  $262,000 for the nine months ended  September  30,
1996 compared to the same period in 1995.  The decrease in the nine months ended
September  30,  1996 over 1995 is due to the  recognition  of $236,000 in income
from unused  insurance  proceeds,  combined with the  recognition  of $49,000 of
business  interruption  income in the first  quarter of 1995.  The  $236,000  of
income is  attributable  to actual cost being lower than amounts  received  from
insurance  proceeds  to  reconstruct  a real estate  facility  located in Miami,
Florida, which was damaged by Hurricane Andrew in August 1992 (see Note 7 in the
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements). Other income increased $10,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1996 over the same period in 1995. The increase
is due to an increase in invested cash balances.
 


                                      8


     Dividend income from marketable  securities of affiliate  increased $15,000
and  $5,000 for the nine and three  month  periods  ended  September  30,  1996,
respectively,  compared  to the  same  periods  in  1995.  These  increases  are
attributable  to an increase in the number of shares  owned in 1996  compared to
the same periods in 1995.

     Cost of operations  (including management fees paid to affiliate) increased
28,000 or 2% to 1,659,000 from 1,631,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 and 1995 respectively. This increase is mainly attributable to increases in
repairs and maintenance, and advertising expenses. Cost of operations (including
management  fees paid to  affiliate)  increased  $28,000 or 5% to $565,000  from
$537,000 for the three months ended  September 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.
These increases are mainly  attributable to increases in payroll and advertising
and promotion costs, partially offset by decreases in management fees paid to an
affiliate.

     In 1995, the  Partnership  prepaid eight months of 1996  management fees on
its  mini-warehouse  operations (based on the management fees for the comparable
period during the calendar year immediately preceding the prepayment) discounted
at the rate of 14% per year to compensate for early payment. The Partnership has
expensed the prepaid  management fees during the nine months ended September 30,
1996. The amount is shown as management  fees paid to affiliate in the condensed
statements  of income.  As a result of the  prepayment,  the  Partnership  saved
approximately  $26,000 in management  fees,  based on the  management  fees that
would have been  payable on rental  income  generated  in the nine months  ended
September 30, 1996 compared to the amount prepaid.

     Interest expense  decreased $73,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 compared to the same period in 1995 due to a lower outstanding loan balance
in 1996 over 1995.

     In 1995, the Partnership incurred cost of $25,000 to conduct  environmental
assessments  of its  properties to evaluate the  environmental  condition of and
potential  environmental  liabilities of such properties.  Those assessments did
not indicate any environmental  contamination of any of its property sites which
individually or in the aggregate would be material to the Partnership's  overall
business,  financial  condition,  or  results  of  operations.  No such cost was
incurred in 1996.

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

     Cash flows from operating activities  ($2,245,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996) have been sufficient to meet all current  obligations of the
Partnership, including principal repayments of the Partnership's note payable.

     At September 30, 1996, the Partnership  held 297,130 shares of common stock
(marketable  securities)  with a fair value totaling  $6,722,000  (cost basis of
$3,791,000  at September  30, 1996) in Public  Storage,  Inc. one of the general
partners in the Partnership. The Partnership recognized $196,000 in dividends or
the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

     In the third quarter of 1991, quarterly  distributions were discontinued to
enable the Partnership to make principal  payments that commenced in 1990 and to
increase  cash  reserves in  subsequent  years  through  1998, at which time the
remaining principal balance is due.
