NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 (UNAUDITED) 1. Description of the business --------------------------- Public Storage, Inc. (the "Company") is a California corporation, which was organized in 1980. We are a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") whose principal business activities include the acquisition, development, ownership and operation of storage facilities which offer storage spaces and containers for lease, usually on a month-to-month basis, for personal and business use. In addition, to a much lesser extent, we have interests in commercial properties. In 1996 and 1997, we organized Public Storage Pickup and Delivery, Inc., as a separate corporation and partnership (the corporation and partnership are collectively referred to as "PSPUD") to operate storage facilities that rent portable storage containers to customers for storage in central warehouses. At September 30, 2000, PSPUD had 40 facilities in operation. We invest in real estate facilities by acquiring wholly owned facilities or by acquiring interests in real estate entities which own real estate facilities. At September 30, 2000, we had direct and indirect equity interests in 1,480 properties located in 38 states, including 1,351 storage facilities and 129 commercial properties. We operate all of the self-storage facilities under the "Public Storage" name. 2. Summary of significant accounting policies ------------------------------------------ Basis of presentation --------------------- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and 35 controlled entities (the "Consolidated Entities"). Collectively, the Company and these entities own a total of 1,244 real estate facilities, consisting of 1,238 storage facilities and six commercial properties. At September 30, 2000, we had equity investments in 11 limited partnerships in which we do not have a controlling interest. These limited partnerships collectively own 113 self-storage facilities, which are managed by the Company. In addition, we own approximately 41% of the common interest in PS Business Parks, Inc. ("PSB"), which owns and operates 123 commercial properties. We do not control these entities, accordingly, our investments in these limited partnerships and PSB are accounted for using the equity method. Use of estimates ---------------- The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Income tax ---------- For all taxable years subsequent to 1980, the Company qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a REIT, as defined in Section 856 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a REIT, we are not taxed on that portion of our taxable income, which is distributed to our shareholders, provided that we meet certain tests. We believe we will meet these tests during 2000 and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. 6 Financial instruments --------------------- The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments is described below. We have estimated the fair value of our financial instruments using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of market value. Accordingly, estimated fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in current market exchanges. For purposes of financial statement presentation, we consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Due to the short period to maturity of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other assets, and accrued and other liabilities, the carrying values as presented on the consolidated balance sheets are reasonable estimates of fair value. Financial assets that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and notes receivable. Cash and cash equivalents, which consist of short-term investments, including commercial paper and treasury securities, are only invested in entities with an investment grade rating. Notes receivable are substantially all secured by real estate facilities that we believe are valued in excess of the related note receivable. Accounts receivable are not a significant portion of total assets and are comprised of a large number of individual customers. Real estate facilities ---------------------- Real estate facilities are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the buildings and improvements, which are generally between 5 and 25 years. Evaluation of asset impairment ------------------------------ In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets. We annually evaluate long-lived assets (including goodwill), by identifying indicators of impairment and by comparing the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows for each asset to the asset's carrying amount. When indicators of impairment are present and the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of such asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset's current carrying value and its value based upon discounting its estimated future cash flows. Statement No. 121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of. Such assets are to be reported at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell. Our evaluations have indicated no impairment in the carrying amount of our assets. Other assets ------------ Other assets primarily consist of furniture, fixtures, equipment, and other assets, including those associated with the containerized storage business. Included in other assets with respect to the containerized storage business is furniture, fixtures, and equipment (net of accumulated depreciation) of $32,454,000 and $34,704,000 at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. Included in depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 is $1,204,000 and $1,199,000, respectively, and $3,612,000 and $3,631,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, of depreciation of furniture, fixtures, and equipment of the containerized storage business. 7 Intangible assets ----------------- Intangible assets consist of property management contracts ($165,000,000) and the cost over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets ($67,726,000) acquired. Intangible assets are amortized straight-line over 25 years. At September 30, 2000 intangible assets are net of accumulated amortization of $45,384,000 ($38,400,000 at December 31, 1999). Included in depreciation and amortization expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 is $2,328,000 and $6,984,000, respectively, related to the amortization of intangible assets. Revenue and expense recognition ------------------------------- Property rents are recognized as earned. Equity in earnings of real estate entities is recognized based on our ownership interest in the earnings of each of the unconsolidated real estate entities. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in cost of operations. Environmental costs ------------------- Our policy is to accrue environmental assessments and/or remediation cost when it is probable that such efforts will be required and the related costs can be reasonably estimated. Our current practice is to conduct environmental investigations in connection with property acquisitions. Although there can be no assurance, we are not aware of any environmental contamination of any of our facilities which individually or in the aggregate would be material to our overall business, financial condition, or results of operations. Net income per common share --------------------------- Dividends paid to our preferred shareholders totaling $25,027,000 and $24,412,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and $75,110,000 and $69,766,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, have been deducted from net income to arrive at net income allocable to our common shareholders. Net income allocated to our common shareholders has been further allocated among our two classes of common stock; our regular common stock and our Equity Stock, Series A. The allocation among each class was based upon the two-class method. Under the two-class method, earnings per share for each class of common stock is determined according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under the two-class method, the Equity Stock, Series A for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 was allocated approximately $2,666,000 and $7,590,000, respectively, of net income and the remaining $47,959,000 and $139,816,000, respectively, was allocated to the regular common shares. Diluted net income per common share is computed using the weighted average common shares outstanding (adjusted for stock options). Commencing January 1, 2000, the Company's 7,000,000 Class B common shares outstanding began to participate in distributions of the Company's earnings. Distributions per share of Class B common stock are equal to 97% of the per share distribution paid to the Company's regular common shares. As a result of this participation in distribution of earnings, for purposes of computing net income per common share, we began to include 6,790,000 (7,000,000 x 97%) Class B common shares in the weighted average common equivalent shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000. Weighted average shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 does not include any shares with respect to the Class B common stock as these shares did not participate in distributions of the Company's earnings prior to January 1, 2000. 8 Stock-based compensation ------------------------ In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" which provides companies an alternative to accounting for stock-based compensation as prescribed under APB Opinion No. 25 (APB 25). Statement 123 encourages, but does not require companies to recognize expense for stock-based awards based on their fair value at date of grant. Statement No. 123 allows companies to continue to follow existing accounting rules (intrinsic value method under APB 25) provided that pro-forma disclosures are made of what net income and earnings per share would have been had the new fair value method been used. We have elected to adopt the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 123 but will continue to account for stock-based compensation under APB 25. Reclassifications ----------------- Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements for 1999 in order to conform to the 2000 presentation. 3. Business combinations --------------------- Affiliated partnership acquisition ---------------------------------- On September 15, 2000, we acquired the remaining ownership interests in an affiliated partnership, of which we are the general partner, for an aggregate acquisition cost of $81,169,000, consisting of cash of $66,776,000 and the reduction of our pre-existing investment in the amount of $14,393,000. Prior to the acquisition, we accounted for our investment in the partnership using the equity method of accounting. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, allocations of the total acquisition cost to the net assets acquired were made based on the fair value of such assets and liabilities assumed with respect to the transaction, as follows: Total ---------------- Real estate facilities............... $ 82,163,000 Other assets......................... 183,000 Accrued and other liabilities........ (1,177,000) ---------------- $ 81,169,000 ================ Merger with Storage Trust Realty, Inc. -------------------------------------- On March 12, 1999, we completed a merger with Storage Trust Realty, Inc. ("Storage Trust"). All the outstanding stock of Storage Trust was exchanged for 13,009,485 shares of the Company's common stock and an additional 1,011,963 shares were reserved for issuance upon conversion of limited partnership units in Storage Trust's operating partnership. In this merger, the Company acquired interests in 215 storage facilities located in 16 states totaling approximately 12 million net rentable square feet. The historical operating results of the above transactions prior to each respective acquisition date have not been included in the Company's historical operating results. Pro forma data (unaudited) for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, as though the business combinations above had been effective at the beginning of fiscal 1999 are as follows: 9 (In thousands, except per share data) For the Nine Months Ended - -------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- September 30, 2000 September 30, 1999 ------------------ ------------------ Revenues.................................... $ 567,941 $ 523,404 Net income.................................. $ 220,878 $ 214,346 Net income per common share (Basic)......... $ 1.05 $ 1.11 Net income per common share (Diluted)....... $ 1.05 $ 1.11 The pro forma data does not purport to be indicative either of results of operations that would have occurred had the transactions occurred at the beginning of fiscal 1999 or future results of operations of the Company. Certain pro forma adjustments were made to the combined historical amounts to reflect (i) expected reductions in general and administrative expenses, (ii) estimated increased interest expense from bank borrowings to finance the cash portion of the acquisition cost and (iii) estimated increase in depreciation expense. 4. Real estate facilities ---------------------- Activity in real estate facilities during 2000 is as follows: In thousands ------------ Operating facilities, at cost Balance at December 31, 1999 .............................. $ 3,822,433 Developed facilities ...................................... 109,585 Property acquisitions: Business combinations (Note 3) ........................ 82,163 Other acquisitions ..................................... 41,925 Disposition of facilities .................................

Construction in progress at September 30, 2000 consists primarily of 41 storage facilities and 18 expansions of existing storage facilities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we acquired two commercial facilities and eight storage facilities in separate transactions for an aggregate cost of $41,925,000. The aggregate cost consisted of $37,756,000 cash, a reduction of $3,144,000 in investment in real estate entities, and $1,025,000 in the issuance of the Company's Equity Stock, Series A. In January, 2000, we disposed of eight storage facilities for an aggregate of $18,769,000, composed of cash ($8,652,000), a reduction of minority interests ($6,427,000), and a note receivable ($3,690,000). There was no gain or loss on this transaction. Our policy is to capitalize interest incurred on debt during the course of construction of our real estate facilities. Interest capitalized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $2,672,000 and $6,828,000, respectively, compared to $1,285,000 and $3,231,000, respectively, for the same periods in 1999. 5. Investment in real estate entities: ----------------------------------- At September 30, 2000, our investment in real estate entities consists of (i) partnership interests in 11 partnerships, which principally own self-storage facilities and (ii) our ownership interest in PSB. Such interests are non-controlling interests of less than 50% and are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, earnings are recognized based upon our ownership interest in each of the entities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 we recognized earnings from our investments of $9,479,000 and $26,910,000, respectively, compared to $6,500,000 and $23,969,000 for the same periods in 1999. In April 1997, we formed a joint venture partnership with an institutional investor (the "Joint Venture") to participate in the development of approximately $220 million of storage facilities. The Joint Venture has a total of 46 opened facilities with a total cost of $222.7 million at September 30, 2000, and has one project in development with an aggregate cost incurred to date of approximately $6.0 million ($1.0 million estimated to complete) at September 30, 2000. Summarized combined financial data (based on historical cost) with respect to those unconsolidated real estate entities in which the Company had an ownership interest at September 30, 2000 are as follows: 11 For the nine months ended September 30, 2000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Equity Development Investments Joint Venture PSB Total -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- (Amounts in thousands) Rental income......................... $ 30,362 $ 18,342 $ 107,265 $ 155,969 Other income.......................... 1,536 526 5,331 7,393 -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- Total revenues........................ 31,898 18,868 112,596 163,362 -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- Cost of operations.................... 9,479 7,891 29,651 47,021 Depreciation.......................... 3,327 4,692 26,723 34,742 Other expenses........................ 2,492 100 4,105 6,697 -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- Total expenses........................ 15,298 12,683 60,479 88,460 -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- Income before minority interest....... 16,600 6,185 52,117 74,902 Minority interest .................... - - (18,391) (18,391) -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- Net income............................ $ 16,600 $ 6,185 $ 33,726 $ 56,511 ============== ============== ============== ============== At September 30, 2000: - ---------------------- Real estate, net...................... $ 69,069 $ 218,060 $ 830,066 $ 1,117,195 Total assets.......................... 101,889 222,571 923,518 1,247,978 Total liabilities..................... 44,917 3,201 58,184 106,302 Minority interest..................... - - 304,490 304,490 Total equity.......................... 56,972 219,370 560,844 837,186 The Company's investment (book value) at September 30, 2000.................. $ 146,920 $ 65,811 $ 253,190 $ 465,921 The Company's effective average ownership interest at September 30, 2000................................ 46% 30% 42% 6. Revolving line of credit ------------------------ The credit agreement (the "Credit Facility") has a borrowing limit of $150 million and an expiration date of July 1, 2002. The expiration date may be extended by one year on each anniversary of the credit agreement. Interest on outstanding borrowings is payable monthly. At our option, the rate of interest charged is equal to (i) the prime rate or (ii) a rate ranging from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 0.40% to LIBOR plus 1.10% depending on the Company's credit ratings and coverage ratios, as defined. In addition, the Company is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee of 0.250% (per annum). The Credit Facility allows us, at our option, to request the group of banks to propose the interest rate they would charge on specific borrowings not to exceed $50 million; however, in no case may the interest rate proposal be greater than the amount provided by the Credit Facility. At September 30, 2000, we had no borrowings on our line of credit. 7. Minority interest ----------------- In consolidation, we classify ownership interests in the net assets of each of the Consolidated Entities, other than our own, as minority interest on the consolidated financial statements. Minority interest in income consists of the minority interests' share of the operating results of the Company relating to the consolidated operations of the Consolidated Entities. 12 In November 1999, we formed a second development joint venture with a joint venture partner to develop $100 million of storage facilities and to purchase $100 million of the Company's Equity Stock, Series AAA. The joint venture is funded solely with equity capital consisting of 51% from the Company and 49% from the joint venture partner. The joint venture is consolidated and, accordingly, the Equity Stock, Series AAA is eliminated in consolidation. Included in minority interest is approximately $73,274,000 relative to the development joint venture, representing total contributions by our joint venture partner net of distributions received by our joint venture partner since inception of the partnership. Minority interest has increased $15,241,000 from December 31, 1999 as a result of contributions by our joint venture partner, and decreased by $5,414,000 as a result of distributions to our joint venture partner. During 2000, one of our operating partnerships issued in aggregate $365.0 million of preferred partnership units: March 17, 2000, - $240.0 million of 9.5% Series N Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units, March 29, 2000 - $75.0 million of 9.125% Series O Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units, and August 11, 2000 - $50.0 million of 8.75% Series P Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units. These preferred units are not redeemable during the first 5 years, thereafter, at our option, we can call the units for redemption at the issuance amount plus any unpaid distributions. The units are not redeemable by the holder. Subject to certain conditions, the Series N preferred units are convertible into shares of 9.5% Series N Cumulative Preferred Stock, the Series O preferred units are convertible into shares of 9.125% Series O Cumulative Preferred Stock and the Series P preferred units are convertible into shares of 8.75% Series P Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Company. We incurred approximately $3,750,000 in costs in connection with the issuances; these costs were recorded as a reduction to Paid in Capital. These transactions had the effect of increasing minority interest by $365.0 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, the holders of these preferred units were paid in aggregate approximately $8,018,000 and $16,354,000, respectively, in distributions and received an equivalent allocation of minority interest in earnings. In connection with the merger with Storage Trust in March 1999, minority interest increased by approximately $27,009,000, reflecting the fair value of operating partnership units ("OP Units") in Storage Trust's operating partnership owned by minority interests. OP Units are convertible on a one-for-one basis (subject to certain limitations) into common shares of the Company at the option of the unitholder. Minority interest in income with respect to OP Units reflects the OP Units' share of the net income of the Company, with net income allocated to weighted average outstanding OP Units on a per unit basis equal to diluted earnings per common share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, 277,105 OP units were redeemed in connection with the sale of real estate facilities and 255,853 OP units were converted into shares of the Company's common stock. As of September 30, 2000, 237,934 of such units are outstanding. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, minority interest was reduced by $6,427,000 in connection with the disposition of real estate facilities. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we acquired interests in the Consolidated Entities for an aggregate cost of $36,529,000, comprised of $29,700,000 cash and issuance of common stock of $6,829,000; these acquisitions had the effect of reducing minority interest by $19,426,000, with the excess of cost over underlying book value ($17,103,000) allocated to real estate. 13 8. Shareholders' equity -------------------- Preferred stock --------------- At September 30, 2000, we had the following series of Preferred Stock outstanding: Dividend Shares Carrying Series Rate Outstanding Amount - ---------------------------- ----------- ------------ ------------- (Dollar amount in thousands) Series A 10.000% 1,825,000 $ 45,625 Series B 9.200% 2,386,000 59,650 Series C Adjustable 1,200,000 30,000 Series D 9.500% 1,200,000 30,000 Series E 10.000% 2,195,000 54,875 Series F 9.750% 2,300,000 57,500 Series G 8.875% 6,900 172,500 Series H 8.450% 6,750 168,750 Series I 8.625% 4,000 100,000 Series J 8.000% 6,000 150,000 Series K 8.250% 4,600 115,000 Series L 8.250% 4,600 115,000 Series M 8.750% 2,250 56,250 ------------ ------------- Total Senior Preferred Stock 11,141,100 $ 1,155,150 ============ ============= The Series A through Series M preferred stock (collectively the "Senior Preferred Stock") have general preference rights with respect to liquidation and quarterly distributions. Holders of the preferred stock, except under certain conditions and as noted above, will not be entitled to vote on most matters. In the event of a cumulative arrearage equal to six quarterly dividends or failure to maintain a Debt Ratio, as defined, of 50% or less, holders of all outstanding series of preferred stock (voting as a single class without regard to series) will have the right to elect two additional members to serve on the Company's Board of Directors until events of default have been cured. At September 30, 2000, there were no dividends in arrears and the Debt Ratio was 3.1%. Except under certain conditions relating to the Company's qualification as a REIT, the Senior Preferred Stock is not redeemable prior to the following dates: Series A - September 30, 2002, Series B - March 31, 2003, Series C - June 30, 1999, Series D - September 30, 2004, Series E - January 31, 2005, Series F - April 30, 2005, Series G - December 31, 2000, Series H - January 31, 2001, Series I - October 31, 2001, Series J - August 31, 2002, Series K - January 19, 2004, Series L - March 10, 2004, Series M - August 17, 2004. On or after the respective dates, each of the series of Senior Preferred Stock will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at $25 per share (or depositary share in the case of the Series G, Series H, Series I, Series J, Series K, Series L and Series M), plus accrued and unpaid dividends. At September 30, 2000, 9,600 shares (represented by 9,600,000 depositary shares) of 9.5% Series N Cumulative Preferred Stock, 3,000 shares (represented by 3,000,000 depositary shares) of 9.125% Series O Cumulative Preferred Stock, and 2,000 shares (represented by 2,000,000 depositary shares) of 8.75% series P Cumulative Preferred Stock were reserved for issuance for the conversion of our Series N, Series O and Series P Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units outstanding at September 30, 2000. 14 Equity Stock ------------ The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of Equity Stock. The Articles of Incorporation provide that the Equity Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series and gives the Board of Directors broad authority to fix the dividend and distribution rights, conversion and voting rights, redemption provisions and liquidation rights of each series of Equity Stock. In January 2000, we issued 4,300,555 depositary shares (2,200,555 shares as part of a special distribution declared on November 15, 1999 and 2,100,000 shares in a separate public offering) each representing 1/1,000 of a share of Equity Stock, Series A ("Equity Stock A"). In addition, in the second quarter of 2000, we issued 52,547 depositary shares of Equity Stock A to a related party in connection with the acquisition of real estate facilities. The Equity Stock A ranks on a parity with common stock and junior to the Senior Preferred Stock with respect to general preference rights and has a liquidation amount which cannot exceed $24.50 per share. Distributions with respect to each depositary share shall be the lesser of: a) five times the per share dividend on the Common Stock or b) $2.45 per annum (prorated for the year 2000). Except in order to preserve the Company's federal income tax status as a REIT, we may not redeem the depositary shares before March 31, 2005. On or after March 31, 2005, we may, at our option, redeem the depositary shares at $24.50 per depositary share. If the Company fails to preserve its federal income tax status as a REIT, the depositary shares will be convertible into common stock on a one for one basis. The depositary shares are otherwise not convertible into common stock. Holders of depositary shares vote as a single class with our holders of common stock on shareholder matters, but the depositary shares have the equivalent of one-tenth of a vote per depositary share. We have no obligation to pay distributions if no distributions are paid to common shareholders. In June 1997, we contributed $22,500,000 (225,000 shares) of equity stock, now designated as Equity Stock, Series AA ("Equity Stock AA") to a partnership in which we are the general partner. As a result of this contribution, we obtained a controlling interest in the partnership and began to consolidate the accounts of the partnership and therefore the equity stock is eliminated in consolidation. The Equity Stock AA ranks on a parity with Common Stock and junior to the Senior Preferred Stock with respect to general preference rights and has a liquidation amount of ten times the amount paid to each Common Share up to a maximum of $100 per share. Quarterly distributions per share on the Equity Stock AA are equal to the lesser of (i) 10 times the amount paid per Common Stock or (ii) $2.20. We have no obligation to pay distributions if no distributions are paid to common shareholders. In November 1999, we sold $100,000,000 (4,289,544 shares) of Equity Stock, Series AAA ("Equity Stock AAA") to a newly formed joint venture. We control the joint venture and consolidate the accounts of the joint venture, and accordingly the Equity Stock AAA is eliminated in consolidation. The Equity Stock AAA ranks on a parity with common stock and junior to the Senior Preferred Stock (as defined below) with respect to general preference rights, and has a liquidation amount equal to 120% of the amount distributed to each common share. Annual distributions per share are equal to the lesser of (i) five times the amount paid per common share or (ii) $2.1564. We have no obligation to pay distributions if no distributions are paid to common shareholders. 15 Common Stock ------------ During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company issued 232,598 shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of stock options and 255,853 shares in connection with the conversion of OP Units. As previously announced, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase from time to time of up to 15,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we repurchased a total of 2,900,400 shares, for a total aggregate cost of approximately $65,004,000. From the initial authorization through September 30, 2000, the Company has repurchased a total of 10,309,227 shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of approximately $245,825,000. From October 1, 2000 through October 27, 2000, we repurchased 25,000 shares at an aggregate cost of approximately $0.6 million. Class B Common Stock -------------------- Commencing January 1, 2000, the Class B Common Stock participates in distributions at the rate of 97% of the per share distributions on the Common Stock, provided that cumulative distributions of at least $0.22 per quarter per share have been paid on the Common Stock. The Class B Common Stock will (i) not participate in liquidating distributions, (ii) not be entitled to vote (except as expressly required by California law) and (iii) automatically convert into Common Stock, on a share for share basis, upon the later to occur of FFO per common share aggregating $3.00 during any period of four consecutive calendar quarters or January 1, 2003. For these purposes, FFO means net income (loss) before (i) gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, (ii) minority interest in income and (iii) gain (loss) on disposition of real estate, adjusted as follows: (a) plus depreciation and amortization, and (b) less FFO attributable to minority interest. FFO per common share means FFO less preferred stock dividends and Equity Stock A dividends divided by the outstanding weighted average shares of Common Stock assuming conversion of all outstanding convertible securities and the Class B Common Stock. For these purposes, FFO per share of Common Stock (as defined above) was $2.58 for the four consecutive calendar quarters ended September 30, 2000. 16 Dividends --------- The following summarizes dividends during the first nine months of 2000: Distributions Per Share or Depositary Total Share Distributions -------------- ------------- Series A.............................. $1.875 $3,422,000 Series B.............................. $1.725 4,116,000 Series C.............................. $1.289 1,547,000 Series D.............................. $1.782 2,137,000 Series E.............................. $1.875 4,116,000 Series F.............................. $1.828 4,205,000 Series G.............................. $1.665 11,482,000 Series H.............................. $1.584 10,694,000 Series I.............................. $1.617 6,469,000 Series J.............................. $1.500 9,000,000 Series K ............................. $1.547 7,116,000 Series L ............................. $1.547 7,116,000 Series M ............................. $1.640 3,690,000 ------------- 75,110,000 Equity Stock, Series A................ $1.840 7,590,000 Common................................ $1.260 156,500,000 Common, Series B...................... $1.222 8,555,000 ------------- Total dividends.................... $247,755,000 ============= For each of the first three quarters of fiscal 2000, we paid regular quarterly distributions to our common shareholders equal to $0.22 per common share. In addition to the regular quarterly distribution, on September 29, 2000, we paid a special cash distribution of $0.60 per common share. This special distribution combined with accumulated distributions paid throughout fiscal 2000 will enable the Company to meet its estimated distribution requirements to maintain its REIT status. At December 31, 1999, we accrued distributions totaling $82,086,000 ($0.64 per share) of the common dividend for 1999, of which $38,076,000 was paid on January 14, 2000 in cash and $44,010,000 was paid in the issuance of depositary shares of Equity Stock A. The dividend rate on the Series C Preferred Stock for each of the three quarters of 2000 was equal to 6.897%, 6.974% and 6.750%, respectively, per annum. The dividend rate per annum will be adjusted quarterly and will be equal to the highest of one of three U.S. Treasury indices (Treasury Bill Rate, Ten Year Constant Maturity Rate, or Thirty Year Constant Maturity Rate) multiplied by 110%. However, the dividend rate for any dividend period will neither be less than 6.75% per annum nor greater than 10.75%. The dividend rate for the quarter ending December 31, 2000 will be equal to 6.75% per annum. 10. Segment information ------------------- In July 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("FAS 131"), which establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments. This statement is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. We adopted this standard effective for the year ended December 31, 1998. 17 Description of each reportable segment -------------------------------------- Our reportable segments reflect significant operating activities that are evaluated separately by management. We have three reportable segments: self-storage operations, containerized storage operations, and commercial property operations. The self-storage segment comprises the direct ownership, development, and operation of traditional storage facilities and the ownership of equity interests in entities that own storage properties. The containerized storage operations reflect the containerized storage operations of PSPUD. The commercial property segment reflects our interest in the ownership and operation of commercial properties. The vast majority of the commercial property operations are conducted through PSB, and to a much lesser extent the Company and certain of its unconsolidated subsidiaries own commercial space, managed by PSB, in facilities that combine storage and commercial space for rent. Measurement of segment profit or loss ------------------------------------- We evaluate performance and allocate resources based upon the net segment income of each segment. Net segment income represents net income in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and our significant accounting policies as denoted in Note 2, before interest and other income, interest expense, general and administrative expense, and minority interest in income. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Interest and other income, interest expense, corporate general and administrative expense, and minority interest in income are not allocated to segments because management does not utilize them to evaluate the results of operations of each segment. Measurement of segment assets ----------------------------- No segment data relative to assets or liabilities is presented, because we do not evaluate performance based upon the assets or liabilities of the segments. We believe that the historical cost of the Company's real property does not have any significant bearing upon the performance of the commercial property and storage segments. In the same manner, management believes that the book value of investment in real estate entities as having no bearing upon the results of those investments. The only other types of assets that might be allocated to individual segments are trade receivables, payables, and other assets which arise in the ordinary course of business, but they are also not a significant factor in the measurement of segment performance. We perform post-acquisition analysis of various investments; however, such evaluations are beyond the scope of FAS 131. Our income statement provides most of the information required in order to determine the performance of each of our three segments. The following tables reconcile the performance of each segment, in terms of segment revenues and segment income, to our consolidated revenues and net income. It further provides detail of the segment components of the income statement item, "Equity in earnings of real estate entities." 18 Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, ----------------------- ----------------------- 2000 1999 Change 2000 1999 Change ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- (Dollar amounts in thousands) RECONCILIATION OF REVENUES BY SEGMENT Self storage - ------------ Self-storage property rentals........................ $ 168,023 $ 158,596 $ 9,427 $ 483,952 $ 437,370 $ 46,582 Equity in earnings - self storage property operations 5,006 4,364 642 15,988 15,483 505 Equity in earnings - Depreciation (self storage) ....

Recently issued accounting standards ------------------------------------ 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 no later than the beginning of the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 2001. Adoption of SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 138, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 20 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --------------------- The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. 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 our actual results and performance 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 self-storage and commercial facilities which could impact rents and occupancy levels at our facilities; our ability to evaluate, finance, and integrate acquired and developed properties into our existing operations; our 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 Real Estate Investment Trusts; the acceptance by consumers of the Pickup and Delivery concept; the impact of general economic conditions upon rental rates and occupancy levels at our facilities; and the availability of permanent capital at attractive rates. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $75,652,000 compared to $76,752,000 for the same period in 1999, representing a decrease of $1,100,000 or 1.4%. The decrease in net income was primarily due to an increased allocation of income to minority interests. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we issued approximately $365.0 million in preferred operating partnership units. Unlike distributions to preferred shareholders, distributions to preferred unitholders are presented as minority interest in income and a reduction to the Company's net income. As a result, minority interest in income increased $8,018,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $222,516,000 compared to $212,245,000 for the same period in 1999, representing an increase of $10,271,000 or 4.8%. The increase in net income was primarily the result of improved property operations, additional real estate investments, reduced operating losses from the containerized storage business, and the acquisition of additional real estate investments during 1999 and 2000 (including the acquisition of Storage Trust). The impact of these items was offset partially by an increased allocation of income to minority interests. Minority interest in income increased $16,354,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999 as a result of the aforementioned issuance of $365.0 million of preferred partnership units. Net income allocable to common shareholders was $47,959,000 or $0.37 per common share on a diluted basis (based on 131,261,000 weighted average diluted common equivalent shares) for the three months ended September 30, 2000. For the same period in 1999, net income allocable to common shareholders was $52,340,000 or $0.40 per common share on a diluted basis (based on 129,249,000 weighted average diluted common equivalent shares). The decrease in net income per common share reflects the inclusion of 6,790,000 common equivalent shares related to the Company's Class B common shares in 2000, but not in 1999, as described more fully below. The decrease in net income per share also includes increased dilution from uninvested proceeds from the Company's issuance of fixed-rate preferred securities, increased dilution from development activities, increased general and administrative expense, and the impact of the Company's issuance of the Equity Stock, Series A. These factors were offset partially by improved property operations and reduced operating losses from the containerized storage business. 21 Net income allocable to common shareholders was $139,816,000 or $1.06 per common share on a diluted basis (based on 131,975,000 weighted average diluted common equivalent shares) for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. For the same period in 1999, net income allocable to common shareholders was $142,479,000 or $1.13 per common share on a diluted basis (based on 125,833,000 weighted average diluted common equivalent shares). The decrease in net income per common share reflects the inclusion of 6,790,000 common equivalent shares related to the Company's Class B common shares in 2000, but not in 1999, as described more fully below. The decrease in net income per share also includes increased dilution from uninvested proceeds from the Company's issuance of fixed-rate preferred securities, increased dilution from development activities, and the impact of the Company's issuance of the Equity Stock, Series A. These factors were offset partially by improved property operations and reduced operating losses from the containerized storage business. In computing net income allocable to common shareholders for each period, aggregate dividends paid to the holders of the Equity Stock, Series A and preferred equity securities have been deducted in determining net income allocable to the common shareholders. Commencing January 1, 2000, the Company's 7,000,000 Class B common shares outstanding began to participate in distributions of the Company's earnings. Distributions per share of Class B common stock are equal to 97% of the per share distribution paid to the Company's regular common shares. As a result of this participation in distributions of earnings, for purposes of computing net income per common share, the Company began to include 6,790,000 (7,000,000 x 97%) Class B common shares in the weighted average common equivalent shares for the three months ended March 31, 2000. Weighted average diluted shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 does not include any shares with respect to the Class B common stock as these shares did not participate in distributions of the Company's earnings prior to January 1, 2000. REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rental income and cost of operations have increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999 due to our merger, development, and acquisition activities throughout 1999 and 2000. As a result of these items, the number of facilities included in the consolidated financial statements has increased from 951 at December 31, 1998 to 1,244 at September 30, 2000. SELF-STORAGE OPERATIONS: The following table summarizes the operating results (before depreciation) of (i) the 946 stabilized self-storage facilities (56.1 million net rentable square feet) that we owned as of December 31, 1998 (the "Consistent Group") and (ii) all other facilities for which operations were not reflected in the Company's financial statements throughout the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and the same periods in 1999 (the "Other Facilities"): 22 SUMMARY OF SELF-STORAGE OPERATIONS Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, ----------------------- ----------------------- Percentage Percentage 2000 1999 Change 2000 1999 Change ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- (Amounts in thousands, except per square foot data) Rental income (a) Consistent Group............. $ 139,264 $ 134,519 3.5% $ 404,577 $ 389,961 3.7% Other Facilities............. 28,759 24,077 19.4% 79,375 47,409 67.4% ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- 168,023 158,596 5.9% 483,952 437,370 10.7% ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Cost of Operations Consistent Group............. 41,514 38,270 8.5% 122,777 115,785 6.0% Other Facilities............. 12,941 9,375 38.0% 33,307 18,091 84.1% ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- 54,455 47,645 14.3% 156,084 133,876 16.6% ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Net operating income Consistent Group............. 97,750 96,249 1.6% 281,800 274,176 2.8% Other Facilities............. 15,818 14,702 7.6% 46,068 29,318 57.1% ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- 113,568 110,951 2.4% 327,868 303,494 8.0% Depreciation and amortization 33,629 32,678 2.9% 97,138 89,661 8.3% ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Operating income $ 79,939 $ 78,273 2.1% $ 230,730 $ 213,833 7.9% ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== Consistent Group data Gross margin........................ 70.2% 71.6% (1.2)% 69.7% 70.3% (0.6)% Weighted average : Occupancy........................ 92.7% 93.1% (0.4)% 92.3% 92.3% - Realized annual rent per square foot.(b)......................... $10.35 $9.93 4.2% $10.05 $9.67 3.9% Scheduled annual rent per square foot............................. $11.50 $10.32 11.4% $11.03 $10.30 7.1% Number of facilities at end of period: Consistent group.................... 946 946 - 946 946 - Other Facilities.................... 292 255 14.5% 292 255 14.5% Net rentable sq. ft. at end of period (in thousands): Consistent group.................... 56,050 56,050 - 56,050 56,050 - Other Facilities.................... 17,835 15,087 18.2% 17,835 15,087 18.2% (a) Rental income includes late charges and administrative fees. For the Consistent Group late charges and administrative fees in aggregate totaled $5,141,000 and $5,077,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and $14,969,000 and $15,042,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. (b) Realized annual rent per square foot is computed by annualizing rental income before late charges and administrative fees divided by the weighted average occupied square footage for the period. Rental income for the Consistent Group facilities for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 was approximately 3.5% higher than the same period in the prior year. Over the past several months we have increased scheduled rents (rental rates charged to new customers) throughout the portfolio. Scheduled rental rates for the Consistent Group of facilities are approximately 11.4% higher than they were last year. We are currently evaluating the impact of higher rental rates to our move-in activity. In addition, we are evaluating market supply and demand factors and based on these analysis we may adjust rental rates further, either increasing or decreasing them. 23 As indicated above, the scheduled rental rates are the rates being charged to new customers, however, the rental rates charged to our existing customer base, is on average, less than the current scheduled rates. For the three months ended September 30, 2000, the average realized rate per square foot was approximately $10.35 or 11.1% below current scheduled rents. Our rental agreements are generally on a month-by-month basis giving us the flexibility to increase rates to our existing customers. During the second quarter of fiscal 2001, we anticipate implementing higher rental rates to our existing customer base. The amount of increase will depend on a number of factors and may not result in rental rates equal to the level of scheduled rental rates. There can be no assurance that higher rental rates will not adversely affect our occupancies. Cost of operations includes both direct costs and indirect cost of operating and managing the facilities. Payroll, property taxes, repairs and maintenance, advertising and the telephone reservation center in aggregate account for approximately 77% of the total cost of operations. With respect to the Consistent Group of facilities, cost of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 increased approximately 8.5% compared to the same period of last year. This increase was primarily a result of increases in repairs and maintenance (up 37.6%), yellow page advertising (up 24.5%) and telephone reservation center expenses (up 20.8%). The increase in yellow page advertising is the result of expansion into other yellow page directories combined with increased rates in existing directories, primarily due to the expansion of the size of our ads. The increase in the telephone reservation center is primarily due to the opening of our new center in Plano, Texas. During fiscal 1999 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we have opened 24 newly developed facilities with a total cost of approximately $115.6 million. Included in the above table, under the caption "Other Facilities", are revenues of $1,457,000 and $2,426,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, and cost of operations of $924,000 and $1,839,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, with respect to these facilities. We also completed expansions of storage facilities of $22.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Due to the fill-up nature of a newly developed self-storage facility, our earnings have been negatively impacted by our development activities. Unlike many other types of real estate, we do not pre-lease our storage space prior to the opening of a newly developed facility. Generally, it takes approximately 24 months for a newly developed facility to reach a stabilized occupancy level of 90%. At this stabilized occupancy level, operating costs represent approximately 30% of stabilized rental revenues. Since the operating costs are substantially fixed in nature, a newly developed facility will not reach a break-even operating cash flow until it achieves an occupancy level of approximately 30%. At September 30, 2000, the 24 newly developed facilities had an average occupancy level of approximately 49%. We expect that over at least the next twelve months our development activities will continue to have a negative impact to our earnings as additional newly developed facilities are opened. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Acquisition and Development of Facilities." During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company acquired eight self-storage facilities for an aggregate cost of $35,995,000. Included in the above table, under the caption "Other Facilities", are revenues of $772,000 and $1,101,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, and cost of operations of $199,000 and $294,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, with respect to these facilities. As described in Note 3 to the financial statements, on September 15, 2000, we acquired the remaining ownership interests in a partnership of which we are the general partner, for an aggregate acquisition cost of $81,169,000, consisting of cash of $66,776,000 and the reduction of our pre-existing investment in the amount of $14,393,000. Included in the above table, under the caption "Other Facilities", are revenues of $484,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, and cost of operations of $114,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, with respect to these facilities. 24 COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OPERATIONS: Commercial property operations included in the consolidated financial statements include commercial space owned by the Company and Consolidated Entities. Our investment in PSB is accounted for on the equity method of accounting, and accordingly our share of PSB's earnings is reflected as "Equity in earnings of real estate entities." During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we acquired two commercial facilities (which are expected to be converted into storage facilities) for an aggregate cost of $5,930,000. Included within commercial property operations with respect to these facilities was revenues of $222,000 and $651,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively and cost of operations of $67,000 and $166,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively. The following table sets forth the historical commercial property amounts included in the financial statements: COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OPERATIONS Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, ----------------------- ----------------------- 2000 1999 Change 2000 1999 Change --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- (Amounts in thousands) Rental income............. $ 2,847 $ 2,111 34.9% $ 8,433 $ 5,973 41.2% Cost of operations........ 926 724 27.9% 2,756 1,993 38.3% --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Net operating income..... 1,921 1,387 38.5% 5,677 3,980 42.6% Depreciation expense...... 570 435 31.0% 1,775 1,289 37.7% --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Operating income.......... $ 1,351 $ 952 41.9% $ 3,902 $ 2,691 45.0% ========= ========= ========= ========= ========= ========= CONTAINERIZED STORAGE OPERATIONS: At September 30, 2000, our containerized storage business operated 40 facilities. For the three months ended September 30, 2000, the containerized storage operations generated operating income of $412,000 compared to an operating loss of $433,000 for the same period in 1999. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, we experienced operating losses of $1,709,000 and $6,514,000, respectively.

For the three months ended September 30, 2000, rental income increased to $11,045,000 compared to $7,387,000 for the same period in 1999 principally as a result in increases in the number of occupied containers. At September 30, 2000, there were approximately 64,300 occupied containers compared to 56,000 containers at September 30, 1999. At September 30, 2000, 28 of the 40 containerized storage facilities are leased from third parties. We are currently developing 38 combination facilities (which includes 14 storage facilities that are being converted to combination facilities) that combine self-storage and containerized storage space in the same location. These facilities are expected to replace 25 of the leased facilities. We expect that an increasing part of the containerized storage business will be operated from this type of facility. To the extent that these developed combination facilities replace existing third-party leased facilities, lease expense should continue to be reduced. Although the containerized storage facilities generated operating income in the quarter ended September 30, 2000, the containerized storage operations may adversely impact the Company's future earnings and cash flows. There can be no assurance as to the level of the containerized storage business's expansion, level of gross rentals, level of move-outs or profitability. EQUITY IN EARNINGS OF REAL ESTATE ENTITIES: In addition to our ownership of equity interests in PSB, we had general and limited partnership interests in 11 limited partnerships at September 30, 2000. (PSB and the limited partnerships are collectively referred to as the "Unconsolidated Entities.") Due to our limited ownership interest and control of these entities, we do not consolidate the accounts of these entities for financial reporting purposes, and account for such investments using the equity method. Equity in earnings of real estate entities for the year ended September 30, 2000 consists of our pro rata share of the Unconsolidated Entities based upon our ownership interest for the period. Similar to the Company, the Unconsolidated Entities (other than PSB) generate substantially all of their income from their ownership of storage facilities, which we manage. In the aggregate, the Unconsolidated Entities (including PSB) own a total of 236 real estate facilities, 113 of which are storage facilities. The following table sets forth the significant components of equity in earnings of real estate entities: 26 HISTORICAL SUMMARY Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, ------------------------ ------------------------ 2000 1999 Change 2000 1999 Change ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- (Amounts in thousands) Property operations: PSB...................... $ 10,878 $ 9,231 $ 1,647 $ 31,436 $ 26,531 $ 4,905 Development Joint Venture 1,197 690 507 3,169 1,605 1,564 Other partnerships....... 3,809 3,674 135 12,819 13,878 (1,059) ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- 15,884 13,595 2,289 47,424 42,014 5,410 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Depreciation: PSB......................

Equity in earnings of PSB represents our pro rata share (approximately 42% ownership) of earnings of PS Business Parks, Inc., a publicly traded real estate investment trust. As of September 30, 2000, we owned approximately 5,370,000 common shares and 7,354,000 operating partnership units (units which are convertible in common shares on a one-for-one basis) in PSB. Equity in earnings with respect to the Development Joint Venture represents our pro rata share of the operating results of an unconsolidated joint venture formed in April 1997 in which we have a 30% ownership interest. The joint venture was formed for the purpose of developing approximately $220 million of self-storage facilities. As of September 30, 2000, 46 of the joint venture's 47 properties are completed and operating, substantially all of which are in the fill-up process and have not reached stabilized occupancy levels. During the first nine months of fiscal 2000, we acquired controlling interests in certain entities. As a result of our ownership and control, we began to consolidate the accounts of these entities into our financial statements. Since we no longer account for our investment using the equity method, equity in earnings with respect to the "Other partnerships" has decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to the same period in the prior year. 27 OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE ITEMS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME: Interest in other income includes (i) the net operating results from our property management operations, (ii) merchandise sales and consumer truck rentals and (iii) interest income. Interest and other income has increased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to the same periods in 1999 as a result of higher cash balances invested in interest bearing accounts. Higher cash balances are primarily due to our issuance of preferred operating partnership units in 2000. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION: Depreciation and amortization expense has increased $1,091,000 to $37,731,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $36,640,000 for the same period in 1999. Depreciation and amortization expense has increased $7,944,000 to $109,509,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $101,565,000 for the same period in 1999. These increases are principally due to the acquisition of additional real estate facilities during 1999 and 2000. Included in depreciation and amortization expense is amortization expense with respect to intangible assets of $2,328,000 and $6,984,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. Included in depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 is $1,204,000 and $1,199,000, respectively, and $3,612,000 and $3,631,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, of depreciation of furniture, fixtures, and equipment of the containerized storage business. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE: General and administrative expense has increased $1,483,000 to $5,436,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $3,953,000 for the same period in 1999. General and administrative expense has increased $4,686,000 to $14,057,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $9,371,000 for the same period in 1999. The increase includes an expansion in our product research and development efforts, as well as costs associated with lease terminations on leased containerized storage facilities which were replaced by newly-developed facilities, and increased consulting fees. The total amount of such expenses was approximately $2,208,000 and $3,979,000 for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2000 as compared to $662,000 and $912,000, respectively, for the same periods in 1999. MINORITY INTEREST IN INCOME: Minority interest in income represents the income allocable to equity interests in the Consolidated Entities, which are not owned by us. Minority interest in income was $11,711,000 and $26,565,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $4,492,000 and $12,149,000, respectively, for the same periods in 1999. In November 1999, we formed a joint venture partnership for the purpose of developing approximately $100 million of self-storage facilities and to purchase $100 million of our Equity Stock, Series AAA. The venture, which has been consolidated, is funded solely with equity capital consisting of 51% from us and 49% from the joint venture partner. Minority interest in income includes approximately $167,000 of income allocated to our joint venture partner. On March 17, 2000, one of our operating partnerships issued $240.0 million of 9.5% Series N Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units. On March 29, 2000, the operating partnership issued $75.0 million of 9.125% Series O Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units and on August 11, 2000, issued $50.0 million of 8.75% Series P Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units. The issuance of preferred partnership units had the effect of increasing minority interest by $365 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, these preferred units were paid in aggregate approximately $16,354,000 in distributions and received a corresponding allocation of minority interest in earnings for the partial period in which the units were outstanding. On March 30, 2000, we acquired the remaining minority interest in one of our consolidated partnerships. The aggregate cost of the acquisition was approximately $23.6 million in cash. Minority interest in income for the three months ended March 31, 2000, includes income allocated to these interests of approximately $602,000. 28 SUPPLEMENTAL PROPERTY DATA AND TRENDS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At September 30, 2000, there were approximately 46 ownership entities owning in aggregate 1,351 storage facilities, including the facilities which we own and/or operate. At September 30, 2000, 113 of these facilities were owned by Unconsolidated Entities, entities in which we have an ownership interest and use the equity method for financial statement presentation. The remaining 1,238 facilities are owned by the Company and Consolidated Entities. The following table summarizes our investment in real estate facilities as of September 30, 2000: Number of Facilities in which the Net Rentable Square Footage Company has an ownership interest (in thousands) -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- Self-Storage Commercial Self-Storage Commercial Facilities Properties Total Facilities Properties Total ---------- ---------- ------- ---------- ---------- -------- Wholly-owned facilities.................... 618 6 624 37,813 394 38,207 Facilities owned by Consolidated Entities.. 620 - 620 36,072 - 36,072 ---------- ---------- ------- ---------- ---------- -------- Total consolidated facilities.......... 1,238 6 1,244 73,885 394 74,279 Facilities owned by Unconsolidated Entities 113 123 236 6,657 12,105 18,762 ---------- ---------- ------- ---------- ---------- -------- Total facilities in which the Company has an ownership interest............ 1,351 129 1,480 80,542 12,499 93,041 ========== ========== ======= ========== ========== ======== In order to evaluate how our overall portfolio has performed, management analyzes the operating performance of a consistent group of self-storage facilities representing 950 (55.3 million net rentable square feet) of the 1,351 self-storage facilities (herein referred to as "Same Store" self-storage facilities). The 950 facilities represent a pool of properties, which have been operated under the "Public Storage" name, at a stabilized level, by the Company since January 1, 1994. From time to time, the Company removes facilities from the "Same Store" pool as a result of expansions or other activities, which make such facilities' results not comparable to previous periods. The Same Store group of properties includes 885 consolidated facilities and 65 facilities owned by Unconsolidated Entities. The following table summarizes the pre-depreciation historical operating results of the Same Store self-storage facilities: 29 SAME STORE STORAGE FACILITIES (950 FACILITIES) - ---------------------------------------------- (historical property operations) Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30, ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- 2000 1999 Change 2000 1999 Change ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- (Amounts in thousands) Rental income (1)........... $ 140,891 $ 135,752 3.8% $ 408,961 $ 392,899 4.1% Cost of operations (includes an imputed 6% property management fee) (2)....... 47,473 44,923 5.7% 141,731 134,750 5.2% ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Net operating income........ $ 93,418 $ 90,829 2.9% $ 267,230 $ 258,149 3.5% =========== =========== =========== =========== =========== =========== Gross profit margin (3)..... 66.3% 66.9% (0.6)% 65.3% 65.7% (0.4)% Weighted Average: - ---------------- Occupancy during the period................. 93.0% 93.4% (0.4)% 92.7% 92.6% 0.1% Annualized realized rent per sq. ft. for period.(4) $10.95 $10.51 4.2% $10.63 $10.23 3.9% Annualized scheduled rent per sq. ft. for period (4) $11.79 $10.50 12.3% $11.28 $10.49 7.5% 1. Rental income includes late charges and administrative fees that in aggregate totaled $5,165,000 and $5,070,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and $15,005,000 and $15,013,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. 2. Cost of operations includes both direct and indirect costs of ownership, management and operation of the properties. Cost of operations includes a 6% management fee on all facilities, including those facilities owned by the Company for which no fee is paid. The 5.7% increase in cost of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999 includes increases in advertising and promotion, repair and maintenance expense, and payroll. 3. Gross profit margin is computed by dividing property net operating income (before depreciation expense) by rental revenues. The gross profit margin includes an imputed 6% property management fee; the actual cost of management is somewhat less. 4. Realized rent per square foot represents the actual revenue (including late charges and administrative fees) earned per occupied square foot. Management believes this is a more relevant measure than the scheduled rental rates, since scheduled rates can be discounted through the use of promotions. Scheduled rental rates are the rates being charged to new customers, however, the rental rates charged to our existing customer base, is on average, less than the current scheduled rates. For the three months ended September 30, 2000, the average realized rate per square foot was approximately $10.95 or 7.7% below current scheduled rents (excluding late charges and administrative fees, which are not included in scheduled rents, the average realized rate per square foot was approximately $10.55 or 11.8% below currently scheduled rents). Our rental agreements are generally on a month-by-month basis giving us the flexibility to increase rates to our existing customers. During the second quarter of fiscal 2001, we anticipate implementing higher rental rates to our existing customer base. The amount of increase will depend on a number of factors and may not result in rental rates equal to the level of scheduled rental rates. There can be no assurance that higher rental rates will not adversely affect our occupancies. Cost of operations includes both direct costs and an imputed 6% management fee. Payroll, property taxes, repairs and maintenance, advertising and the telephone reservation center in aggregate account for approximately 66% of the total cost of operations. With respect to the Same Store facilities, cost of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 increased approximately 5.7% compared to the same period of last year. This increase was primarily a result of increases in repairs and maintenance (up 36.2%), yellow page advertising (up 21.8%) and telephone reservation center expenses (up 20.5%). The increase in yellow page advertising is the result of expansion into other yellow page directories combined with increased rates in existing directories, primarily due to the expansion of the size of our ads. The increase in the 30 telephone reservation center is primarily due to the opening of our new center in Plano, Texas. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We believe that our internally generated net cash provided by operating activities will continue to be sufficient to enable us to meet our operating expenses, capital improvements, debt service requirements and distributions to shareholders for the foreseeable future. Operating as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), our ability to retain cash flow for reinvestment is restricted. In order for us to maintain our REIT status, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow must be used to make distributions to our shareholders (see "REIT STATUS" below). However, despite the significant distribution requirements, we have been able to retain a significant amount of our operating cash flow. The following table summarizes our ability to make the minority interests' distributions, dividend payments to the preferred shareholders and capital improvements to maintain the facilities through the use of cash provided by operating activities. The remaining cash flow generated is available to make both scheduled and optional principal payments on debt and for reinvestment. For the nine months ended September 30, -------------------------- 2000 1999 ---------- ---------- (Amounts in thousands) Net income........................................................................... $ 222,516 $ 212,245 Depreciation and amortization........................................................ 109,509 101,565 Less: Depreciation with respect to non-real estate assets...........................

(165,055) (85,096) ---------- ---------- Funds available for principal payments on debt and reinvestment (A).................. $ 74,947 $ 145,100 ========== ========== (A) Cash distributions for both periods include regular common distributions of $0.22 per share per quarter as well as special distributions, as follows. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, a special distribution in the amount of $0.60 per common share (an aggregate of $78.7 million) was declared and paid. The amounts for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 do not reflect any special distribution, as a special distribution was declared on November 15, 1999 in the amount of $0.65 per share in Equity Stock A or $0.62 in cash (an aggregate of $82.1 million) and reflected in distributions for the fourth quarter of 1999. The Company has declared a regular distribution payable on December 29, 2000 at $0.22 per share, and does not expect to make any additional special distributions in calendar 2000. However, assuming a continuation of the Company's increasing level of taxable income in 2001 and beyond, the Company expects that it will continue to make a combination of regular and special distributions in cash or securities throughout each year at a rate comparable to or exceeding the amounts paid and declared in 2000 and 1999. 31 We expect to fund our growth strategies with cash on hand at September 30, 2000, internally generated retained cash flows, proceeds from issuing equity securities and borrowings under our $150 million credit facility. We intend to repay amounts borrowed under the credit facility from undistributed operating cash flow or, as market conditions permit and are determined to be advantageous, from the public or private placement of equity securities. Our portfolio of real estate facilities remains substantially unencumbered. At September 30, 2000, we had mortgage debt outstanding of $27.1 million and had consolidated real estate facilities with a book value of $3.6 billion. We have not financed our acquisitions with debt and generally our borrowings have increased through the assumption of pre-existing debt on acquired real estate facilities, including $100 million in debt assumed in connection with the merger with Storage Trust. During the first quarter of 2000, one of our operating partnerships issued $240.0 million of 9.5% Series N Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (issued March 17, 2000) and $75.0 million of 9.125% Series O Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (issued March 29, 2000). During the third quarter of 2000, the partnership issued $50.0 million of 8.75% Series P Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (issued August 11, 2000). The units are not redeemable during the first 5 years, thereafter, at our option, we can call the units for redemption at the issuance amount plus any unpaid distributions. The units are not redeemable by the holder. Subject to certain conditions, the Series N preferred units are convertible into shares of 9.5% Series N Cumulative Preferred Stock, the Series O preferred units are convertible into shares of 9.125% Series O Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Company and the Series P preferred units are convertible into shares of 8.75% Series P Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Company. DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS: Our conservative distribution policy has been the principal reason for the Company's ability to retain significant operating cash flows which have been used to make additional investments and reduce debt. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, we distributed to common shareholders approximately 64.4% and 34.4% of our cash available from operations allocable to common shareholders, respectively. Distributions for both periods include regular common distributions of $0.22 per share per quarter. In addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, a special distribution in the amount of $0.60 per common share (an aggregate of $78.4 million) was declared and paid. The amounts for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 do not reflect any special distribution, as a special distribution was declared in November 1999 in the amount of $0.65 in Equity Stock A or $0.62 in cash (an aggregate of $82.1 million was paid in the form of cash and our Equity Stock A) and reflected in distributions for the fourth quarter of 1999. The Company has declared a regular distribution payable on December 29, 2000 at $0.22 per common share, and does not expect to make any additional special distributions in calendar 2000. However, we expect to increase our common distribution in 2001 and beyond from the level of our regularly quarterly distribution level of $0.22 per common share assuming a continuation of our increasing level of taxable income. These increased distributions will be in the form of special distributions of cash or securities, an increase in the regular quarterly common distribution, or a combination thereof. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we paid cash dividends totaling $75,110,000 to the holders of our Senior Preferred Stock and $7,590,000 to the holders of Equity Stock, Series A. We estimate the regular distribution requirements for fiscal 2000 with respect to Senior Preferred Stock outstanding at September 30, 2000 to be approximately $100.2 million. With respect to the Equity Stock, Series A, the prorated annual distribution for 2000 (assuming at least $0.49 is paid per common share) is approximately $10.3 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we paid dividends totaling $247,141,000 to the holders of our common stock which includes a special distribution of approximately $82,086,000 related to fiscal 1999. The special distribution was paid on January 14, 2000 to our common shareholders and consisted of $38,076,000 in cash and $44,010,000 in the issuance of depositary shares of Equity Stock, Series A. As of September 30, 2000 we paid cash dividends totaling $156,500,000 to common shareholders and $8,555,000 to Class B common shareholders. Distributions with respect to the classes of common stock will be determined based upon our REIT distribution requirements after taking into consideration distributions to the Company's preferred shareholders. 32 PREFERRED OPERATING PARTNERSHIP UNIT DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS: For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, the holders of these preferred units were paid in aggregate approximately $8,018,000 and $16,354,000, respectively, in distributions, which represented a pro rated dividend for the period the units were outstanding. We estimate that the annual distribution requirement for the preferred operating partnership units outstanding at September 30, 2000 will be approximately $34.0 million. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT REQUIREMENTS: During 2000, we have budgeted approximately $26.5 million for capital improvements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we incurred capital improvements of approximately $16,605,000. DEBT SERVICE REQUIREMENTS: We do not believe we have any significant refinancing risks with respect to our notes payable, all of which is fixed rate. At September 30, 2000, we had total outstanding notes payable of $160,723,000. Approximate principal maturities of notes payable at September 30, 2000 are as follows: Unsecured Senior Notes Mortgage debt Total ------------ ------------- ------------ (Amounts in thousands) 2000 (remainder of).......... $ 4,375 $ 382 $ 4,757 2001......................... 9,500 2,910 12,410 2002......................... 24,450 3,530 27,980 2003......................... 35,900 3,585 39,485 2004......................... 25,800 15,063 40,863 Thereafter................... 33,600 1,628 35,228 ------------ ------------- ------------ $ 133,625 $ 27,098 $ 160,723 ============ ============= ============ Weighted average rate........ 7.4% 10.3% 7.9% ============ ============= ============ REPURCHASES OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK: As previously announced, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase from time to time of up to 15,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In the quarter ended September 30, 2000, the Company repurchased a total of 60,300 shares, for a total aggregate cost of approximately $1.4 million. From the initial authorization through September 30, 2000, the Company repurchased a total of 10,309,227 shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of approximately $245.8 million. From October 1, 2000 through October 27, 2000, the Company repurchased 25,000 shares at an aggregate cost of approximately $0.6 million. ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT OF FACILITIES: In the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we have acquired two commercial facilities and eight storage facilities at an aggregate cost of approximately $41.9 million. In addition, on September 15, 2000, we acquired the remaining ownership interests in an affiliated partnership, of which we are the general partner, for an aggregate acquisition cost of $81,169,000, consisting of cash of $66,776,000 and the reduction of our pre-existing investment in the amount of $14,393,000. This affiliated partnership owned 13 self-storage facilities. As previously announced, in April 1997, we formed a joint venture partnership with an institutional investor for the purpose of developing up to $220 million of self-storage facilities. The joint venture is funded solely with equity capital consisting of 30% from us and 70% from the institutional investor. Our share of the cost of the real estate in the joint venture is approximately $68.6 million at September 30, 2000. As of September 30, 2000, the joint venture had 46 operating facilities, with 2,787,000 net rentable square feet and total development costs of approximately $222.7 million. As of September 30, 2000, the joint venture is developing one additional project (approximately 93,000 net rentable square feet) that was in process, with total costs incurred of $6.0 million and estimated remaining costs to complete of $1.0 million. In November 1999, we formed a second joint venture partnership for the development of approximately $100 million of self-storage facilities. The venture is funded solely with equity capital consisting of 51% from us and 49% from the joint venture partner. At September 30, 2000, the second development joint venture was committed to develop 14 facilities (approximately 932,000 net 33 rentable sq. ft.) with an estimated development cost of approximately $64.4 million, of which 10 facilities (approximately 632,000 net rentable sq. ft.) were completed at an aggregate cost of approximately $45.3 million. As of September 30, 2000, the second development joint venture is developing four additional projects (approximately 300,000 net rentable square feet) that were in process, with total costs incurred of $11.6 million and estimated remaining costs to complete of $7.6 million. We have submitted 10 additional facilities for approval with total estimated costs of approximately $47.4 million; we have incurred approximately $20.9 million through September 30, 2000 with respect to these 10 projects. Upon approval, these projects will be transferred to the joint venture and the joint venture partner will contribute its 49% share. We currently have a development "pipeline" of 94 self storage facilities, combination facilities, and expansions to existing self storage facilities with an aggregate estimated cost of approximately $533 million. Approximately $191 million of development cost is incurred as of September 30, 2000. We have acquired the land for 59 of these projects, which have an aggregate estimated cost of approximately $335 million, and costs incurred as of September 30, 2000 of approximately $185 million. The development and fill-up of these storage facilities is subject to significant contingencies. However, we estimate that the total remaining spending of these projects of approximately $342 million will be incurred over the next 24 - 28 months. The following table sets forth our development pipeline and a range of estimated opening dates for these projects: Number Total Estimated Total Cost Incurred Estimated Time of Cost of through September Frames of Facility Facilities Development 30, 2000 Openings ---------- --------------- -------------------- ------------------ Development - Land Acquired at - --------------------------------- 9/30/00 - ------- Self-storage facilities........ 22 $127,214,000 $73,137,000 Q4 `00 - Q4 `01 Expansions of existing self-storage facilities.... 18 51,568,000 20,094,000 Q4 `00 - Q4 `01 Combination facilities......... 19 155,798,000 91,830,000 Q4 `00 - Q4 `01 ---------- --------------- -------------------- Total..................... 59 334,580,000 185,061,000 ---------- --------------- -------------------- Potential Development - Land to - -------------------------------- be Acquired After 9/30/00 - ------------------------- Self-storage facilities - development starts estimated by 6/30/01................. 22 $131,641,000 $4,428,000 Self-storage facilities - development starts estimated after 6/30/01.............. 3 24,642,000 201,000 After Q2 `02 Expansions of existing self-storage facilities.... 5 10,143,000 184,000 Q1 `02 - Q2 `02 Combination facilities......... 5 32,035,000 708,000 Q1 `02 - Q2 `02 ---------- --------------- -------------------- Total..................... 35 198,461,000 5,521,000 ---------- --------------- -------------------- Totals.................... 94 $533,041,000 $190,582,000 ========== =============== ==================== REIT STATUS: We believe that we have operated, and intend to continue to operate, in such a manner as to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, but no assurance can be given that we will at all times so qualify. To the extent that we continue to qualify as a REIT, we will not be taxed, with certain limited exceptions, on the taxable income that is distributed to our shareholders, provided that at least 95% of our taxable income is so distributed prior to filing of our tax return. We have satisfied the REIT distribution requirement since 1980. 34 FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS: Total funds from operations or "FFO" increased to $338,922,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $317,232,000 for the same period in 1999. FFO available to common shareholders (after deducting preferred stock dividends but before deducting Equity Stock A dividends) increased to $263,812,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $247,466,000 for the same period in 1999. FFO means net income or (loss) (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) before: (i) gain or (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, (ii) minority interest in income and (iii) gain or (loss) on the disposition of real estate, adjusted as follows: (a) plus depreciation and amortization (including our pro-rata share of depreciation and amortization of unconsolidated equity interests and amortization of assets acquired in a merger, including property management agreements and goodwill), and (b) less FFO attributable to minority interest. FFO is a supplemental performance measure for equity REITs as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. ("NAREIT"). The NAREIT definition does not specifically address the treatment of minority interest in the determination of FFO or the treatment of the amortization of property management agreements and goodwill. In our case, FFO represents amounts attributable to our shareholders after deducting amounts attributable to the minority interests and before deductions for the amortization of property management agreements and goodwill. FFO is presented because management, as well as many industry analysts, consider FFO to be one measure of our performance and it is used in establishing the terms of the Class B Common Stock. FFO does not take into consideration capital improvements, scheduled principal payments on debt, distributions and our other obligations. Accordingly, FFO is not a substitute for cash flow or net income (as discussed above) as a measure of our liquidity or operating performance. FFO is not comparable to similarly entitled items reported by other REITs that do not define it exactly as we have defined it. ITEM 3. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK - ------------------------------------------------------------------- To limit our exposure to market risk, we principally finance our operations and growth with permanent equity capital, consisting of either common or preferred stock. At September 30, 2000, our debt as a percentage of total shareholders' equity (based on book values) was 4.4%. Our preferred stock is not redeemable by the holders. Except under certain conditions relating to our qualification as a REIT, we may not redeem the Senior Preferred Stock prior to the following dates: Series A - September 30, 2002, Series B - March 31, 2003, Series C - June 30, 1999, Series D - September 30, 2004, Series E - January 31, 2005, Series F - April 30, 2005, Series G - December 31, 2000, Series H - January 31, 2001, Series I - October 31, 2001, Series J - August 31, 2002, Series K - January 19, 2004, Series L - March 10, 2004 and Series M - August 17, 2004. On or after the respective dates, each of the series of Senior Preferred Stock will be redeemable at the our option, in whole or in part, at $25 per share (or depositary share in the case of the Series G, Series H, Series I, Series J, Series K, Series L and Series M), plus accrued and unpaid dividends. Our preferred operating partnership units are not redeemable by the holders. Five years after issuance, we can call the units for redemption at the issuance amount plus any unpaid distributions. Our market risk sensitive instruments include notes payable, which totaled $160.7 million at September 30, 2000. Substantially all of the Company's notes payable bear interest at fixed rates. See Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources for approximate principal maturities of the notes payable as of September 30, 2000. 35 PART II.
