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, 1998. 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, 1999, the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 and its cash flows for the nine months then ended. 3. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. 4. Marketable securities at September 30, 1999 consist of 381,980 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, 1999, the Partnership has recorded the marketable securities at fair value, based upon the closing quoted prices of the securities at September 30, 1999. 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. On July 1, 1998, the Partnership paid off the mortgage note payable with cash reserves and with the proceeds of a $22,000,000 loan from Public Storage, Inc., a general partner of the Partnership. The loan from Public Storage, Inc. required monthly payments of interest only at the fixed rate of 7.2% and was scheduled to mature June 30, 1999. The loan to PSI was paid off in September 1998 with the proceeds of a loan from a commercial bank (see note 6). 6. During September 1998, the Partnership 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 the Partnership's interest coverage ratio (6.10% at September 30, 1999). The loan requires monthly payments of interest and mature September 2002. Principal may be paid, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium. The loan proceeds were used to pay off the Partnership's note payable to Public Storage, Inc. 6 6. (continued) The Partnership has entered into an interest rate swap agreement to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on a portion of its floating rate debt. The agreement, which covers $11,500,000 of debt through March 2000 and $4,000,000 from March 2000 through September 2000, effectively changes the interest rate exposure from floating rate to a fixed rate of 5.22% plus 0.60% to 1.20% based on the Partnership's interest coverage ratio (5.82% as of September 30, 1999). Market gains and losses on the value of the swap are deferred and included in income over the life of the contract. The Partnership records the differences paid or received on the interest rate swap in interest expense as payments are made or received. As of September 30, 1999, the unrealized gain on the interest rate swap, if required to be liquidated, was approximately $75,000. 7 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 AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998: The Partnership's net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $3,600,000 compared to $2,433,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, representing an increase of $1,167,000 or 48%. The Partnership's net income for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was $1,313,000 compared to $1,057,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998, representing an increase of $256,000 or 24%. These increases are primarily a result of increased operating results at the Partnership's real estate facilities and a decrease in interest expense resulting from the Partnership refinancing its outstanding debt. Rental income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $6,937,000 compared to $6,559,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, representing an increase of $378,000 or 6%. Rental income for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was $2,403,000 compared to $2,255,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998, representing an increase of $148,000 or 7%. These increases are primarily attributable to higher rental rates at the Partnership's mini-warehouse facilities. The weighted average occupancy levels at the mini-warehouse facilities were 94% for each of the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. Average annualized realized rent for the nine months September 30, 1999 increased to $11.23 per occupied square foot from $10.57 per occupied square foot for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. 8 Interest and other income decreased $77,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998. This decrease is primarily a result of the pay off of the mortgage note payable with cash reserves, which resulted in lower cash balances and consequently less interest earned. Dividend income from marketable securities of affiliate remained stable for the six months ended September 30, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998. Cost of operations (including management fees paid to affiliate) for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $1,995,000 compared to $1,939,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, representing an increase of $56,000 or 3%. Cost of operations (including management fees paid to affiliate) for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was $669,000 compared to $642,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998, representing an increase of $27,000 or 4%. This increase is mainly attributable to increases in management fees, and advertising and promotion expenses. Interest expense decreased $977,000 to $797,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $1,774,000 in the same period in 1998. This decrease is mainly attributable to a lower outstanding principal balance and reduced interest rates on the Partnership's debt resulting from a refinancing of the Partnership's debt. See Liquidity and Capital Resources for a discussion of the refinancing of the Partnership's indebtedness in the third quarter of 1998. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- Cash flows from operating activities ($4,444,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999) have been sufficient to meet all current obligations of the Partnership. On July 1, 1998, the Partnership paid off the mortgage note payable with cash reserves and with the proceeds of a $22,000,000 loan from Public Storage, Inc., a general partner of the Partnership. The loan from Public Storage, Inc. required monthly payments of interest only at the fixed rate of 7.2% and was scheduled to mature June 30, 1999. The loan to PSI was paid off in September 1998 with the proceeds of a loan from a commercial bank. During September 1998, the Partnership 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 the Partnership's interest coverage ratio (6.10% at September 30, 1999). The loan requires monthly payments of interest and mature September 2002. Principal may be paid, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium. The loan proceeds were used to pay off the Partnership's note to Public Storage, Inc. The Partnership has entered into an interest rate swap agreement to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on a portion of its floating rate debt. The agreement, which covers $11,500,000 of debt through March 2000 and $4,000,000 from March 2000 through September 2000, effectively changes the interest rate exposure from floating rate to a fixed rate of 5.22% plus 0.60% to 1.20% based on the Partnership's interest coverage ratio (5.82% as of September 9 30, 1999). Market gains and losses on the value of the swap are deferred and included in income over the life of the contract. The Partnership records the differences paid or received on the interest rate swap in interest expense as payments are made or received. As of September 30, 1999, the unrealized gain on the interest rate swap, if required to be liquidated, was approximately $75,000. Year 2000 System Issues - ----------------------- The Partnership utilizes Public Storage, Inc.'s ("PSI") information systems in connection with a cost sharing and administrative services agreement. PSI has completed an assessment of all of its hardware and software applications to identify susceptibility to what is commonly referred to as the "Y2K Issue" whereby certain computer programs have been written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the PSI's computer programs or hardware with the Y2K Issue that have date-sensitive applications or embedded chips may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000, resulting in miscalculations or system failure causing disruptions of operations. PSI has two phases in its process with respect to each of its systems; i) assessment, whereby PSI evaluates whether the system is Y2K compliant and identifies the plan of action with respect to remediating any Y2K issues identified and ii) implementation, whereby PSI completes the plan of action prepared in the assessment phase and verifies that Y2K compliance has been achieved. Implementations have been completed on PSI's critical applications that impact the Partnership, such as the general ledger, property operations, and related systems. Contingency plans have been developed for use in case PSI's assessment did not identify all Y2K issues, or if the implementation were subsequently determined to not fully remediate Y2K issues that were identified. While PSI presently believes that the impact of the Y2K Issue on its systems can be mitigated, if PSI's plan for ensuring Year 2000 compliance and the related contingency plans were to fail, be insufficient, or not be implemented on a timely basis, Partnership operations could be materially impacted. Certain of PSI's other non-computer related systems that may be impacted by the Y2K Issue, such as security systems, have been evaluated. Based upon its evaluation, PSI has no reason to believe that lack of compliance or failure of required solutions would materially impact the Partnership's operations. The Partnership exchanges electronic data with certain outside vendors in the banking and payroll processing areas. The Partnership has been advised by these vendors that their systems are Year 2000 compliant. The Partnership is not aware of any other vendors, suppliers, or other external agents with a Y2K Issue that would materially impact the Partnership's results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources. However, the Partnership has no means of ensuring that external agents will be Year 2000 compliant, and there can be no assurance that PSI has identified all such external agents. The inability of external agents to 10 complete their Year 2000 compliance process in a timely fashion could materially impact the Partnership. The effect of non-compliance by external agents is not determinable. The cost of PSI's year 2000 compliance activities (which primarily consists of the costs of new systems) to be allocated to the Partnership is estimated at approximately $76,143. These costs are capitalized. PSI's year 2000 compliance efforts have not resulted in any significant deferrals in other information system projects. The costs of the projects and the date on which PSI expects to achieve Year 2000 Compliance are based upon management's best estimates, and were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events. There can be no assurance that these estimates will be achieved, and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated. There can be no assurance that PSI has identified all potential Y2K Issues either within the Partnership, at PSI or at external agents. In addition, the impact of the Y2K issue on governmental entities and utility providers and the resultant impact on the Partnership, as well as disruptions in the general economy, may be material but cannot be reasonably determined or quantified. 11 PART II.
