approximately  $22,534,000 (based on the March 31, 2005 closing market price of
$56.94 per common share of Public  Storage,  Inc.) in its financial  statements
for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Pro forma  financial  information is

     (b) Pro Forma Financial Information.

        The following  unaudited  pro forma  financial  information  for Public
        Storage  Properties  V, Ltd.  gives  effect to the  disposition  of the
        Partnership's   holdings  in  Public  Storage,  Inc.  common  stock  as
        described  in this  Current  Report  on  Form  8-K.  The  Partnership's
        holdings in Public  Storage  marketable  securities  are  accounted for
        under the  guidelines of Statement on Financial  Accounting  Standards,
        No. 130,  Reporting  Comprehensive  Income and were designated as "held
        for sale."

        The December 31, 2004  unaudited Pro Forma  Condensed  Balance Sheet is
        presented as if the  disposition  occurred  prior to December 31, 2004.
        The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statement of Income and Comprehensive
        Income for the year ended  December  31,  2004 is  presented  as if the

        Properties  V,  Ltd.   giving  effect  for  the   disposition   of  the
        Partnership's holdings of Public Storage, Inc. common stock.

        The  Partnership's  gain on  disposition,  estimated  at  approximately
        $22,534,000,  is not considered in the Pro Forma Condensed Statement of
        Income and Comprehensive Income.

        The  assumptions,  estimates and  adjustments  are preliminary and have
        been  made  solely  for  the  purpose  of  developing  such  pro  forma
