              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  June 30, 2001

                                   (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 June 30,  2001,  PSPUD  had 51  facilities  in
     operation in 14 states.

              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 June 30, 2001,  we had direct and  indirect  equity
     interests in 1,534 properties located in 38 states, including 1,376 storage
     facilities and 158 commercial  properties.  The Company operates all of the
     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  34  controlled   entities  (the   "Consolidated   Entities").
     Collectively,  the  Company  and these  entities  own a total of 1,268 real
     estate   facilities,   consisting  of  1,262  storage  facilities  and  six
     commercial properties.

              At  June  30,  2001,  we  had  equity  investments  in 11  limited
     partnerships in which we do not have a controlling interest.  These limited
     partnerships  collectively  own  114  self-storage  facilities,  which  are
     managed by the Company. In addition, we own approximately 43% of the common
     interest in PS Business Parks, Inc.  ("PSB"),  which owns and operates 13.3
     million net rentable  square feet of commercial  space at June 30, 2001. We
     do not  control  these  entities,  accordingly,  our  investments  in these
     limited partnerships and PSB are accounted for using the equity method.

              Certain  amounts  previously  reported have been  reclassified  to
     conform to the June 30, 2001 presentation.

     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.

                                       6



     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 2001 and,
     accordingly,   no  provision   for  income  taxes  has  been  made  in  the
     accompanying financial statements.

     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.  The  carrying  amount of
     mortgage  notes  receivable  approximates  fair value because the aggregate
     mortgage notes  receivable  applicable  interest rates  approximate  market
     rates for those loans.

              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,  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.

                                       7



     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 such assets associated with the containerized  storage facilities
     business as well as accounts receivable,  prepaid expenses,  and other such
     assets  of the  Company.  Included  in other  assets  with  respect  to the
     containerized storage business is furniture,  fixtures,  and equipment (net
     of accumulated  depreciation)  of $29,817,000  and  $28,544,000 at June 30,
     2001 and December  31, 2000,  respectively.  Included in  depreciation  and
     amortization  expense for the three  months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 is
     $1,550,000 and $1,255,000,  respectively, and $2,889,000 and $2,408,000 for
     the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively,  of depreciation
     of  furniture,   fixtures,  and  equipment  of  the  containerized  storage
     business.

     Intangible assets
     -----------------

              Intangible  assets are amortized  straight-line  over 25 years. At
     June 30, 2001  intangible  assets are net of  accumulated  amortization  of
     $52,365,000  ($47,709,000  at December 31, 2000).  Included in depreciation
     and  amortization  expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001
     and  2000  is  $2,328,000  and  $4,656,000,  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.

     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.

                                       8



     Net income per common share
     ---------------------------

              Dividends paid to our preferred  shareholders totaling $28,736,000
     and  $25,045,000  for the  three  months  ended  June 30,  2001  and  2000,
     respectively, and $56,772,000 and $50,083,000 for the six months ended June
     30,  2001 and 2000,  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 six  months  ended  June 30,  2001 was  allocated  net  income of
     approximately $5,314,000 and $8,766,000,  respectively,  as compared to the
     three and six months ended June 30, 2000 of  approximately  $2,666,000  and
     $4,924,000,  respectively.  The remaining $47,723,000 and $90,870,000,  for
     the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 respectively,  and $46,592,000
     and  $91,857,000,  for the  three  and  six  months  ended  June  30,  2000
     respectively, was allocated to the regular common shares.

              Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted  average
     common shares (prior to the dilutive impact of stock options  outstanding).
     Diluted net income per common share is computed using the weighted  average
     common shares outstanding  (adjusted for stock options).  Effective 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,  the Company includes  6,790,000  (7,000,000 x
     97%) Class B common shares in the weighted average common equivalent shares
     for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 2001.

     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.

     Recent accounting  pronouncements  and guidance - accounting for derivative
     ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
     instruments and hedging activities
     ----------------------------------

              In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board ("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. The Company adopted SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS
     138, on January 1, 2001,  and the  adoption  had no material  impact on the
     Company's consolidated financial statements.

                                       9



     Recent  accounting   pronouncements  and  guidance  -  goodwill  and  other
     ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
     intangible assets
     -----------------

              In July 2001,  the FASB issued  Statement of Financial  Accounting
     Standards No. 142 ("SFAS 142"),  "Goodwill  and Other  Intangible  Assets,"
     under which goodwill and indefinite  life  intangible  assets are no longer
     amortized but are reviewed annually for impairment.  The provisions of this
     statement are  applicable  to our fiscal year ending  December 31, 2002. We
     are  studying  this  statement  to  determine  its impact on our  financial
     statements,  and will adopt this statement in the year ending  December 31,
     2002.

3.   Business combinations
     ---------------------

              During 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. Prior to the acquisition, we accounted for
     our investment in this partnership on the equity method.

4.   Real estate facilities

              Activity in real estate facilities during 2001 is as follows:

              During the six  months  ended  June 30,  2001,  we opened 15 newly
     developed facilities having approximately  1,102,000 aggregate net rentable
     square feet and a total cost of $103.9 million. In addition,  expansions of
     existing  facilities  totaling $46.1 million were completed  during the six
     months  ended June 30,  2001.  Construction  in  process  at June 30,  2001
     consists  of 51 storage  facilities  and  expansions  of  existing  storage
     facilities.  Land held for development  consists of 13 parcels of land held
     for development.


              During the six months  ended  June 30,  2001,  we sold a parcel of
     land for  approximately  $9,102,000 cash. A gain of $1,568,000 was recorded
     on the sale.

              Our policy is to capitalize  interest  incurred on debt during the
     course of  construction  of our  self-storage  and  industrial  facilities.
     Interest  capitalized  during the three and six months  ended June 30, 2001
     was $2,109,000  and  $4,219,000,  respectively,  compared to $2,045,000 and
     $4,156,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2000.

5.   Investment in real estate entities
     ----------------------------------

              At June 30, 2001, our investment in real estate entities  consists
     of (i)  partnership  interests  in  approximately  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 six months ended June 30, 2001 we recognized  earnings
     from our investments of $9,814,000 and $19,086,000,  respectively, compared
     to  $9,155,000  and  $17,431,000  for the same period in 2000.  We received
     distributions  from our  investments of $10,117,000  and $8,727,000 for the
     six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

              In April 1997, we formed a joint venture  partnership  (the "Joint
     Venture") with an institutional  investor to participate in the development
     of approximately $220 million of storage facilities.  The Joint Venture has
     a total of 47 opened  facilities  with a total cost of $232 million and was
     fully committed at December 31, 2000.

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 June 30, 2001, 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.

              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  $80,851,000  million
     relative to the joint venture,  primarily  representing total contributions
     received from our joint venture partners,  net of  distributions.  Minority
     interest  increased  $7,480,000  since  December  31,  2000 as a result  of
     contributions by our joint venture partner,  and decreased by $3,865,000 as
     a result of distributions to our joint venture partner.

              On March 17,  2000,  we issued  $240.0  million  of 9.5%  Series N
     Cumulative  Redeemable  Perpetual Preferred Units and on March 29, 2000, we
     issued $75.0  million of 9.125%  Series O Cumulative  Redeemable  Perpetual
     Preferred  Units,  and on August 11, 2000, we issued $50.0 million of 8.75%
     Series P  Cumulative  Redeemable  Perpetual  Preferred  Units in one of our
     operating  partnerships.  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 and 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 These transactions had the effect of increasing
     minority  interest by $365 million in the year ended December 31, 2000. The
     holders of these  preferred units were paid  distributions  in aggregate of
     approximately $8,505,000 and $17,010,000 for the three and six months ended
     June 30, 2001, respectively,  compared to $7,411,000 and $8,336,000 for the
     three and six months  ended June 30,  2000,  respectively,  and  received a
     corresponding  allocation  of  minority  interest  in  earnings  for  these
     periods.

              As of June 30,  2001,  there were  237,935  operating  partnership
     units ("OP Units")  outstanding  in one of the  Consolidated  Entities.  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  allocated to minority  interests
     with respect to weighted  average  outstanding OP Units on a per unit basis
     equal to diluted  earnings  per common  share.  During the six months ended
     June 30, 2001, no units were redeemed.

              In the six  months  ended  June 30,  2001,  the  Company  acquired
     interests in the Consolidated Entities for an aggregate cost of $11,053,000
     cash; these  acquisitions had the effect of reducing  minority  interest by
     $8,272,000, with the excess of cost over underlying book value ($2,781,000)
     allocated to real estate.

     "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 June 30,  2001,  there  were no
     dividends in arrears and the Debt Ratio was 2.8%.

              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 and  Series  Q -  January  19,  2006.  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 through Series M and
     Series Q), plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

     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  April  2001,  the  Company  completed  a  public  offering  of
     2,210,500  depositary shares each representing 1/1,000 of a share of Equity
     Stock, Series A, raising net proceeds of approximately $51,836,000 million.
     In May 2001, the Company completed a direct placement of 830,000 depositary
     shares  each  representing  1/1,000 of a share of Equity  Stock,  Series A,
     raising net proceeds of approximately $20,294,000 million.

              At June 30, 2001, we had 8,676,102  depositary shares outstanding,
     each  representing  1/1,000 of a share of Equity  Stock,  Series A ("Equity
     Stock  A").  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.  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, 2010.
     On or after March 31, 2010 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  on the  depositary  shares 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
     ------------

              As  previously   announced,   the  Company's  Board  of  Directors
     authorized the repurchase  from time to time of up to 25,000,000  shares of
     the  Company's  common stock on the open market or in privately  negotiated
     transactions.   In  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  2001,  the  Company
     repurchased a total of 10,544,893  shares,  for a total  aggregate  cost of
     approximately $275,483,000. From the initial authorization through June 30,
     2001,  the Company has  repurchased a total of 21,445,320  shares of common
     stock at an aggregate cost of approximately $534,103,000.

              During April 2001, we entered into an arrangement with a financial
     institution  whereby we sold to the  institution the right to require us to
     purchase from the institution up to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at
     a price of $26.26 on certain dates in September  2001 and October 2001 (the
     institution's  rights are collectively  referred to hereinafter as the "Put
     Option.").  In exchange for the Put Option, the financial  institution paid
     us $910,000,  the amount of which has been  reflected as an increase to our
     paid-in capital. The outstanding put options, upon exercise, can be settled
     by us, at our option, if the price is below $26.26 on the Exercise Dates in
     September and October 2001, by (i) the issuance of additional common shares
     to the financial institution with a value equal to the difference in market
     value of the shares  subject to the exercise and $26.26 per share,  (ii) by
     payment  of cash to the  financial  institution  in an amount  equal to the
     difference in market value of the shares subject to the exercise and $26.26
     per share or (iii) by purchasing the shares from the  institution at $26.26
     per share.

     Class B Common Stock
     --------------------

              Commencing  January 1, 2000, 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,  (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 $2.72 for the four consecutive  calendar quarters ended June 30,
     2001.

(a)  On August 9, 2001,  the Company  declared a regular  quarterly  dividend of
     $0.45 per share, an increase from the regular  quarterly  dividend of $0.22
     per share  paid in the six months  ended June 30,  2001.  In  addition,  on
     August 9, 2001, the Company  declared a special  distribution in the amount
     of $0.35 per share. The dividends declared on August 9, 2001 are payable on
     September 28, 2001.

              The  dividend  rate on the Series Q preferred  stock was  prorated
     from  January 19,  2001 (date of  issuance)  through  March 31,  2001.  The
     dividend  rate on the  Series C  Preferred  Stock for the first and  second
     quarters of 2001 was equal to 6.75% 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
     September 30, 2001 will be equal to 6.75% per annum.

9.   Segment Information
     -------------------

              In July 1997,  the FASB issued  Statement of Financial  Accounting
     Standards No. 131 "Disclosures  about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
     Information,  "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. For information regarding the description of each reportable segment,
     policies relating to the measurement of segment profit or loss, and segment
     assets,  refer  to the  consolidated  financial  statements  and  footnotes
     thereto  included in the Company's  annual report on Form 10-K for the year
     ended December 31, 2000.

                                       17



              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."

10.  Agreement to Acquire PS Insurance Company
     -----------------------------------------

              On March 15, 2001, the Company's  disinterested directors approved
     the acquisition of PS Insurance Company  ("PSIC").  PSIC is currently owned
     by B. Wayne Hughes (Chairman) and members of his family. PSIC is engaged in
     the business of reinsuring risks relating to damage,  destruction, or other
     loss of goods  stored  by  tenants  in  self-storage  facilities  owned and
     operated by the Company.  In the transaction,  the Company will acquire all
     of the  capital  stock of PSIC  from the  Hughes  family  in  exchange  for
     1,243,298 shares of the Company's  Common Stock,  subject to adjustment for
     changes  in  PSIC's  working  capital.  PSIC  owns  301,032  shares  of the
     Company's Common Stock,  which would continue to be owned by PSIC after the
     transaction.  The  transaction  (1) is conditioned  on, among other things,
     adoption of changes to California's  tax laws that would permit the Company
     to  acquire  PSIC  and (2) is  scheduled  to close on  December  31,  2001,
     although there can be no assurance.

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 in which we do  business;  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 June 30,  2001 was  $81,773,000
compared to $74,303,000 for the same period in 2000,  representing a increase of
$7,470,000  or 10.1%.  The  increase in net income was  primarily  the result of
improved property  operations  combined with increased  operations from acquired
and newly developed real estate  properties  during 2000 and 2001. The impact of
these items was partially offset by increased  depreciation  expense,  resulting
primarily  from new  properties,  and an increase in the allocation of income to
minority  interests.  During 2000, the Company issued a total of $365,000,000 in
preferred operating  partnership units, and as a result,  distributions to these
unitholders increased from $7,411,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2000 to
$8,505,000  in the  same  period  in 2001.  Unlike  distributions  to  preferred
shareholders,  distributions to preferred  unitholders are presented as minority
interest in income and a reduction in net income. Primarily as a result of these
distributions,  minority  interest in income increased  $1,207,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

         During the three  months  ended June 30,  2001 and 2000,  we  allocated
$28,736,000  and  $25,045,000 of our net income (based on  distributions  paid),
respectively, to our preferred shareholders,  representing an increase of 14.7%.
This  increase is due to an additional  issuance of preferred  stock in 2001. In
addition,  during the three  months  ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,  we allocated
$5,314,000  and  $2,666,000  of our net income  (based on  distributions  paid),
respectively,  to our equity  shareholders,  representing  an increase of 99.3%.
This increase is due to additional issuances of equity stock in 2001 and 2000.

         Net  income  remaining  to  our  regular  common  shareholders,   after
allocating  net  income  to  our  preferred  and  equity  shareholders,  totaled
$47,723,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to $46,592,000 for
the same period in 2000, representing an increase of 2.4%. Net income per common
share was $0.39 on a  diluted  basis  (based  on  121,639,000  weighted  average
diluted  common  equivalent  shares)  for the three  months  ended June 30, 2001
compared  to $0.35 per common  share on a diluted  basis  (based on  131,734,000
weighted average diluted common equivalent shares),  representing an increase of
11.4%.  The year over year  increase in net income on a per share basis  (11.4%)
was  significantly  higher  than the year over year  increase in  aggregate  net
income  allocated to the common (2.4%) due to the reduction in weighted  average
shares outstanding as a result of our share repurchase activities.

                                       21



         Net  income for the six months  ended  June 30,  2001 was  $156,408,000
compared to $146,864,000 for the same period in 2000, representing a increase of
$9,544,000  or 6.5%.  The  increase  in net income was  primarily  the result of
improved  property  operations,   the  acquisition  of  additional  real  estate
investments  during 2000 and 2001 and a gain on the sale of land.  The impact of
these items was partially offset by increased  depreciation  expense,  resulting
primarily  from new property  additions,  and an increase in the  allocation  of
income to minority  interests.  As indicated above, in 2000, we issued preferred
operating partnership units, and as a result, distributions to these unitholders
increased  from  $8,336,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $17,010,000
in the same period in 2001.  Unlike  distributions  to  preferred  shareholders,
distributions  to preferred  unitholders  are presented as minority  interest in
income  and  a  reduction  in  net  income.  Primarily  as  a  result  of  these
distributions,  minority  interest in income  increased  $8,516,000  for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

         During  the six  months  ended  June 30,  2001 and 2000,  we  allocated
$56,772,000  and  $50,083,000 of our net income (based on  distributions  paid),
respectively, to our preferred shareholders,  representing an increase of 13.4%.
This  increase is due to an additional  issuance of preferred  stock in 2001. In
addition,  during the six  months  ended June 30,  2001 and 2000,  we  allocated
$8,766,000  and  $4,924,000  of our net income  (based on  distributions  paid),
respectively,  to our equity  shareholders,  representing  an increase of 78.0%.
This increase is due to additional issuances of equity stock in 2001 and 2000.

         Net  income  remaining  to  our  regular  common  shareholders,   after
allocating  net  income  to  our  preferred  and  equity  shareholders,  totaled
$90,870,000  for the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to $91,857,000  for
the same period in 2000,  representing  a decrease of  approximately  1.1%.  Net
income  per  common  share was $0.73 on a diluted  basis  (based on  125,130,000
weighted average diluted common equivalent shares) for the six months ended June
30,  2001  compared  to $0.69  per  common  share on a diluted  basis  (based on
132,335,000 weighted average diluted common equivalent shares),  representing an
increase of 5.8%.  The year over year 5.8% increase in net income on a per share
basis as compared to the year over year 1.1%  decrease in  aggregate  net income
allocated  to our regular  common  shareholders  results  from the  reduction in
weighted average shares outstanding due to our share repurchase activities.

REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Rental income and cost of operations  have  increased for the three and
six months  ended June 30,  2001  compared to the same period in 2000 due to our
merger and acquisition activities throughout 2000 and 2001. As a result of these
items, the number of storage facilities  included in the consolidated  financial
statements has increased from 1,213 at June 30, 2000 to 1,262 at June 30, 2001.

         SELF-STORAGE  OPERATIONS:  The following table summarizes the operating
results (before depreciation) of (i) the 913 stabilized  self-storage facilities
that we owned as of  December  31,  1999 (the  "Consistent  Group") and (ii) all
other facilities (the "Other Facilities"):

(a)  Rental  income  includes  late  charges and  administrative  fees.  For the
     Consistent Group, late charges and administrative fees in aggregate totaled
     $4,801,000  and  $4,712,000  for the three  months  ended June 30, 2001 and
     2000, respectively,  and $9,635,000 and $9,507,000 for the six months ended
     June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

(b)  Realized  annual rent per square foot is  computed  by  annualizing  rental
     income  including  late  charges  and  administrative  fees  divided by the
     weighted average occupied square footage for the period.

         The Company  experienced  accelerated  growth in the consistent group's
net  operating  income for the three and six months  ended June 30,  2001,  with
overall  net  operating  income  increasing  11.5% and 10.5%,  respectively,  as
compared to the same periods in 2000.  Rental income increased 7.0% and 7.3% for
the  three  and six  months  ended  June  30,  2001,  respectively,  and cost of
operations decreased 3.5% and was stable for the three and six months ended June
30, 2001, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2000.

                                       23



         The  increase  in  rental  income is  attributable  to a 9.7% and 10.1%
increase in realized rent per occupied  square foot for the three and six months
ended June 30,  2001,  respectively,  as compared  to the same  periods in 2000,
partially  offset by a reduction in weighted  average  occupancy  level.  Higher
realized  rent per  occupied  square foot was achieved  through more  aggressive
pricing  of our  self-storage  space.  Over the  past  several  months,  we have
increased rents charged to new tenants and have significantly  reduced the level
of discounts  offered to new  tenants.  In addition,  in many  markets,  we have
increased the level of rent charged to our existing tenant base.

         As expected,  our more  aggressive  rental rates and  reductions in the
amount of  discounts  offered have  resulted in a reduction in weighted  average
occupancy  levels  for  both the  three  and six  months  periods.  Although  we
experienced a decline of 2.3% in weighted  average  occupancy  levels during the
three and six month periods, at June 30, 2001 the decline was 1.7%.

         Consistent  Group discounts for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 totaled $1,521,000 and $3,649,000,  respectively, as compared to $3,923,000
and $8,284,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2000.

         We believe that our ability to raise rents and thereby  increase rental
income was  facilitated by 1) more  aggressive  marketing  efforts,  including a
$622,000 increase in television  advertising  expenditures for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same  periods in 2000,  as well as
an  increase  in  the  intensity  of our  yellow  page  advertising,  and 2) the
continuing  impact of our  efforts  over the last  several  years to improve the
value of the Public Storage brand, most significantly  through the completion of
our program to enhance our visual icon and to modernize  the  appearance  of our
self-storage facilities.

         Consistent Group cost of operations  declined 3.5% in the quarter ended
June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000,  and was stable in the six
months  ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.  The expense
moderation  was due to our  continued  focus upon cost control and the result of
specific  cost control  programs,  such as a trial  program  instituted  in some
markets to close the rental offices on Sunday to reduce payroll  expense.  There
can be no assurance as to the level of expenses in future periods.

the Consistent Group:

         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  76% of the total cost of operations.  With respect to
the  Consistent  Group of  facilities,  cost of operations for the quarter ended
June 30, 2001 decreased  approximately  3.5% compared to the same period of last
year. This decrease was primarily a result of decreases in telephone reservation
center expenses, payroll expense and repairs and maintenance partially offset by
increases in advertising  (up 36.9%).  The increase in advertising for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2001 is the result of  advertising  in  additional
yellow page directories  combined with increased rates in existing  directories,
primarily due to the expansion of the size of our ads.

         During 1999 and 2000 and the six months  ended June 30,  2001,  we have
opened 45 newly developed  facilities with a total cost of approximately  $249.6
million.  Included in the self-storage operations table above, under the caption
"Other  Facilities",  are rental income and cost of operations of $3,183,000 and
$2,238,000,  respectively,  for the  three  months  ended  June  30,  2001,  and
$5,551,000 and $4,141,000, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2001,
with respect to these facilities.  Included in the self-storage operations table
above,  under the  caption  "Other  Facilities",  are rental  income and cost of
operations  of $404,000 and $479,000,  respectively,  for the three months ended
June 30, 2000, and $747,000 and $893,000, respectively, for the six months ended
June 30, 2000, with respect to these facilities. We also completed expansions of
storage  facilities with aggregate costs of  approximately  $46.1 million in the
six months ended June 30, 2001.

         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 June 30, 2001, the 45 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."

         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"  in our  condensed
consolidated Statement of Income.

         During  the  second   quarter  of  2000,  we  acquired  two  commercial
facilities  (which are expected to be converted into storage  facilities) for an
aggregate cost of  $5,930,000.  Included in commercial  property  operations are
rental income and cost of operations of $177,000 and $56,000,  respectively, for
the three months ended June 30, 2001,  and $314,000 and $127,000,  respectively,
for the six  months  ended June 30,  2001,  with  respect  to these  facilities.
Included  in  commercial  property  operations  are  rental  income  and cost of
operations of $136,000 and $21,000,  respectively,  for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2000. The following  table sets forth the  historical  commercial
property amounts included in the financial statements:

(a)  Depreciation includes $189,000 and $113,000 for the three months ended June
     30, 2001 and 2000,  respectively,  and  $377,000  and  $226,000 for the six
     months  ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,  respectively,  with  respect to real
     estate assets.

         At June 30, 2001, 21 of the 51  containerized  storage  facilities were
leased from third parties. We are currently developing 13 combination facilities
(which  includes two 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  8 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.

         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 June 30,  2001.  (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 June 30,
2001 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 266 real
estate facilities, 114 of which are storage facilities. The following table sets
forth the significant components of equity in earnings of real estate entities:

(a)  "Other" reflects our share of general and administrative expense,  interest
     expense, interest income, and other non-property,  non-depreciation related
     operating results of these entities.

         The  increase in equity in earnings  of real  estate  entities  for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively,  as compared to the same
periods in 2000 is primarily the result of improved  operations of PSB. In April
1997, we formed a joint venture  partnership (the  "Development  Joint Venture")
with  an   institutional   investor  to  participate   in  the   development  of
approximately $220 million of storage  facilities.  The venture is funded solely
with  equity  capital  consisting  of 30%  from  the  Company  and 70%  from the
institutional  investor.  Equity in earnings from the Development  Joint Venture
reflects  our  pro  rata  share,  based  upon  our  ownership  interest,  of the
operations of the Development Joint Venture. From inception through December 31,
2000, the Development Joint Venture  developed and opened 47 storage  facilities
at  an  aggregate  cost  of  approximately  $232  million.   Generally  a  newly
constructed  facility  undergoes  an 18 to 24 month  fill-up  process  until the
facility reaches a stabilized  occupancy level of approximately 90%. For each of
the  periods  ending  June 30,  2001 and 2000,  the  majority  of the  completed
facilities  were  in the  fill-up  process  and  had not  reached  a  stabilized
occupancy  level.  We expect that our earnings with respect to our investment in
the  Development  Joint  Venture  will  continue  to  increase  as the  existing
properties continue to fill up.

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  decreased  in the three and six months
ended June 30,  2001 as  compared  to the same  periods in 2000  primarily  as a
result of lower cash balances invested in interest bearing accounts.

                                       27



         DEPRECIATION AND  AMORTIZATION:  Depreciation and amortization  expense
has increased $5,579,000 to $41,323,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001
as  compared  to  $35,744,000  for the same  period  in 2000.  Depreciation  and
amortization  expense has increased $9,167,000 to $80,945,000 for the six months
ended June 30,  2001 as  compared  to  $71,778,000  for the same period in 2000.
These  increases are  principally  due to the  acquisition  and  development  of
additional real estate facilities during 2000 and 2001. Included in depreciation
and  amortization  expense is  amortization  expense with respect to  intangible
assets of $2,328,000  and $4,656,000 for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000.  Included in depreciation and amortization  expense for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 is $1,550,000 and $1,255,000,  respectively,
and  $2,889,000  and $2,408,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
respectively,  of  depreciation  of  furniture,  fixtures,  and equipment of the
portable self-storage business.

         GENERAL  AND  ADMINISTRATIVE:  General and  administrative  expense has
decreased  $576,000 to  $5,000,000  for the three  months ended June 30, 2001 as
compared to $5,576,000 for the same period in 2000.  General and  administrative
expense has increased  $1,963,000 to  $10,584,000  for the six months ended June
30,  2001 as  compared to  $8,621,000  for the same period in 2000.  General and
administrative  expense  principally  consists of state income  taxes,  investor
relations  expenses,  certain  overhead  associated  with  the  acquisition  and
development   of  real  estate   facilities,   overhead   associated   with  the
containerized  storage  business,  and certain product  research and development
activities.  The  decrease  for the quarter is due  primarily  to a reduction in
consulting,  lease  termination  expense  associated  with leased  containerized
storage facilities which were replaced by newly-developed  facilities, and other
expenses, offset partially by increased overhead associated with the acquisition
and  development  of real estate  facilities.  The year to date  increase is due
primarily to increased overhead  associated with the acquisition and development
of real estate  facilities,  costs  associated  with lease  terminations  on the
leased  containerized  storage facilities which were replaced by newly-developed
facilities, and severance as a result of employee terminations.  The increase in
the six months  ended June 30,  2001 as  compared  to 2000 of these  three items
aggregated approximately $2,579,000.

         INTEREST  EXPENSE:  Interest  expense was $1,124,000 and $2,095,000 for
the three and six months  ended June 30,  2001,  respectively,  as  compared  to
$1,261,000 and $2,667,000,  respectively, for the same periods in 2000. Interest
expense was net of  capitalized  interest of $2,109,000  and  $4,219,000 for the
three  and six  months  ended  June  30,  2001,  respectively,  as  compared  to
$2,045,000  and  $4,156,000,  respectively,  for the same  periods in 2000;  the
increase  in  capitalized  interest  was due to  higher  levels  of  development
activities.  Interest  expense,  prior to capitalized  interest,  decreased from
$3,306,000  for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $3,233,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 and from  $6,823,000 in the six months ended June 30,
2000 to  $6,314,000  for the six months  ended June 30, 2001.  The  decreases in
interest expense,  prior to capitalized  interest,  for the three and six months
periods are due primarily to reductions in average outstanding debt balances.

         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  $11,672,000  and  $23,370,000,
respectively,  for the three and six months  ended June 30,  2001,  compared  to
$10,465,000 and $14,854,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2000.

         On  March  17,  2000,  one  of  our  operating   partnerships  that  is
consolidated  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
six months ended June 30,  2001and 2000, the holders of these units were paid in
aggregate   approximately   $8,505,000   and   $17,010,000,   respectively,   in
distributions  and received a corresponding  allocation of minority  interest in
earnings for the partial period in which the units were outstanding.

                                       28



SUPPLEMENTAL PROPERTY DATA AND TRENDS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         At June 30, 2001, there were approximately 45 ownership entities owning
in aggregate  1,376 storage  facilities,  including the facilities  which we own
and/or  operate.  At June  30,  2001,  114 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  1,262
facilities are owned by the Company and the Consolidated Entities.

         In  order  to  evaluate  how  our  overall   portfolio  has  performed,
management  analyzes  the  operating   performance  of  a  consistent  group  of
self-storage facilities representing 945 (54.9 million net rentable square feet)
of the  1,376  self-storage  facilities  (herein  referred  to as  "Same  Store"
self-storage  facilities).  The 945  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 863 consolidated facilities
and  82  facilities  owned  by  Unconsolidated  Entities.  The  following  table
summarizes the  pre-depreciation  historical operating results of the Same Store
self-storage facilities:

(c)  Gross profit margin is computed by dividing  property net operating  income
     (before depreciation expense) by rental revenues.

(d)  Realized  annual rent per square foot is  computed  by  annualizing  rental
     income including late charges and  administrative  fees divided by weighted
     average occupied square footage for the period.

         The Company experienced  accelerated growth in Same Store net operating
income in the quarter  ended June 30, 2001,  with overall net  operating  income
increasing  11.6% in the  quarter  ended June 30,  2001 as  compared to the same
period in 2000.  Rental income  increased 7.1% and cost of operations  decreased
3.6%.

         The increase in rental income is  attributable  to a 10.1%  increase in
realized  rent per  occupied  square foot  partially  offset by a  reduction  in
weighted  average  occupancy  level during the period.  Higher realized rent per
occupied  square  foot was  achieved  through  more  aggressive  pricing  of our
self-storage  space.  Over the past  several  months,  we have  increased  rents
charged to new tenants  and have  significantly  reduced the level of  discounts
offered to new tenants.  In addition,  in many  markets,  we have  increased the
level of rent charged to our existing tenant base.

         As expected,  our more  aggressive  rental rates and  reductions in the
amount of  discounts  offered have  resulted in a reduction in weighted  average
occupancy  levels  for  both the  three  and six  months  periods.  Although  we
experienced a decline of 2.5% in weighted  average  occupancy  levels during the
three and six month periods, by the end of the quarter the decline was 2.0%.

         We believe that our ability to raise rents and thereby  increase rental
income was facilitated by 1) more  aggressive  marketing  efforts,  including an
increase in television advertising expenditures of $631,000 in the quarter ended
June 30,  2001 as  compared to the same period in 2000 as well as an increase in
the intensity of our yellow page  advertising,  and 2) the continuing  impact of
our  efforts  over the last  several  years to  improve  the value of the Public
Storage  brand,  most  significantly  through the  completion  of our program to
enhance our visual icon and to  modernize  the  appearance  of our  self-storage
facilities.

         Cost of operations  declined 3.6% in the quarter ended June 30, 2001 as
compared  to the same  period  in 2000,  due to our  continued  focus  upon cost
control  and the  result of  specific  cost  control  programs,  such as a trial
program  instituted  in some  markets to close the  rental  offices on Sunday to
reduce payroll expense. There can be no assurance as to the level of expenses in
subsequent quarters.

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.

                                       30



         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
payment on debt and for reinvestment.



                                                                                            For the six months ended

(a)  Depreciation  and  amortization  includes  $2,889,000 and  $2,408,000  with
     respect to non-real  estate  assets for the six months  ended June 30, 2001
     and 2000, respectively.

(b)  Cash distributions to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30,
     2001 and 2000 only  include  the  Company's  regular  common  distributions
     ($0.44  per common  share in each  period).  In August  2000,  the  Company
     declared  a special  distribution  of $0.60 per  share or  $78,763,000.  On
     August 9, 2001, the Company  declared a special  distribution  of $0.35 per
     share to be paid in September 2001, and the regular common dividend for the
     third  quarter of 2001 was  increased to $0.45 per share from the $0.22 per
     share  paid in each  quarter  in 2000 and in each  quarter in the first six
     months of 2001.  Assuming  the  Company  also  declares  a  regular  common
     dividend  of $0.45 per  common  share in the fourth  quarter  of 2001,  the
     remaining  common  distributions  for the last two  quarters  of 2001  will
     amount  to $1.25  per  share or  $150,063,000  (based  upon  common  shares
     outstanding at June 30, 2001).

         We expect to fund our growth  strategies  with cash on hand at June 30,
2001,  internally  generated  retained cash flows,  proceeds from issuing equity
securities and borrowings under our $150 million credit facility.

         Our  portfolio  of  real  estate   facilities   remains   substantially
unencumbered.  At June 30,  2001,  we had  mortgage  debt  outstanding  of $25.3
million and had  consolidated  real estate  facilities with a book value of $3.7
billion.  We have not  financed our  acquisitions  with debt and  generally  our
borrowing has increased  through the assumption of pre-existing debt on acquired
real estate facilities.

                                       31



         In January 2001, the Company  completed a public  offering of 6,900,000
depositary  shares ($25 stated  value per  depositary  share) each  representing
1/1,000 of a share of 8.6%  Cumulative  Preferred  Stock,  Series Q, raising net
proceeds of approximately  $166,966,000.  In April 2001, the Company completed a
public offering of 2,210,500  depositary shares each  representing  1/1,000 of a
share of Equity  Stock,  Series A, raising net proceeds of  approximately  $51.8
million.  In May 2001,  the  Company  completed  a direct  placement  of 830,000
depositary shares each representing  1/1,000 of a share of Equity Stock,  Series
A, raising net proceeds of approximately $20.3 million.

         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. In 2000, we distributed to common and Class B common  shareholders,
in regular and in a special  distribution paid in September 2000,  approximately
56% of our cash available from operations available to common shareholders.

         During  the six  months  ended June 30,  2001,  we paid cash  dividends
totaling $56,772,000 to the holders of our Senior Preferred Stock and $8,766,000
to the holders of Equity Stock,  Series A. This includes $6,718,000 with respect
to the Series Q preferred  stock,  which reflects a payment for a partial period
from  the  date  of  issuance.  We  estimate  the  regular  annual  distribution
requirements with respect to Senior Preferred Stock outstanding at June 30, 2001
to be approximately $114.9 million (with total distributions estimated at $114.2
million for fiscal 2001). With respect to the Equity Stock, Series A outstanding
at June 30, 2001, we estimate the regular distribution to be approximately $21.3
million ($19.4 million for fiscal 2001).

         During the six months ended June 30, 2000, we paid  dividends  totaling
$139,974,000  to the  holders  of our  common  stock  which  includes  a special
distribution  of  approximately  $0.64  per  share or  $82,086,000  declared  in
November  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.

         On August 9, 2001, the Company declared a special distribution of $0.35
per share to be paid in September  2001, and the regular common dividend for the
third  quarter of 2001 was increased to $0.45 per share from the $0.22 per share
paid in each  quarter  in 2000 and in each  quarter  in the first six  months of
2001. Assuming the Company also declares a dividend of $0.45 per common share in
the fourth quarter of 2001, the remaining common  distributions for the last two
quarters  of 2001 will  amount to $1.25 per share or  $150,063,000  (based  upon
common shares outstanding at June 30, 2001).

         During the six months ended June 30, 2001, we paid  $17,010,000  to the
holders of our preferred  operating  partnership units, which were issued in the
year ended December 31, 2000.  The total annual  distribution  requirement  with
respect  to  the  preferred   operating   partnership   units  is  estimated  at
$34,020,000.

         CAPITAL  IMPROVEMENT  REQUIREMENTS:   During  2001,  we  have  budgeted
approximately $26,800,000 for capital improvements.  During the six months ended
June 30, 2001, we incurred capital improvements of approximately $12,132,000.

                                       32



         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 June 30,  2001,  we had total  outstanding  notes  payable  of  $149,796,000.
Approximate  principal  maturities  of notes  payable  at June  30,  2001 are as
follows:

         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  25,000,000  shares of the  Company's  common  stock on the open market or in
privately  negotiated  transactions.  For the quarter  ended June 30, 2001,  the
Company  repurchased  a  total  of  2,612,800  shares  at an  aggregate  cost of
approximately  $70.4 million.  From the initial  authorization  through June 30,
2001, the Company repurchased a total of 21,445,320 shares of common stock at an
aggregate cost of approximately $534.1 million.

         DEVELOPMENT OF SELF-STORAGE  FACILITIES:  At June 30, 2001, the Company
and its second  development  joint venture  partnership  have a "pipeline" of 51
projects  that are in  construction  or are  expected  to begin  contruction  by
December  2002,  which  includes new and expansion  self-storage  facilities and
facilities that combine containerized storage and self-storage space in the same
location.  These 51 projects have total estimated costs of approximately  $342.2
million,  of which $144.0 million has been spent,  with opening dates  estimated
through the fourth quarter of 2003. The development and fill-up of these storage
facilities is subject to significant contingencies.  We estimate that the amount
remaining to be spent of  approximately  $198.2  million on these 51 projects in
the pipeline will be incurred over the next 30 months.

         We have acquired the land for 32 of the projects in the pipeline, which
have an aggregate  estimated cost of $212.8  million and costs incurred  through
June 30, 2001 of  approximately  $138.4  million.  The  remaining 19  facilities
represent  identified sites as to which we have an agreement in place to acquire
the land, generally within one year. However,  there can be no assurance that we
will complete the development of these facilities.

         With respect to the facilities that combine  containerized  storage and
self-storage space in the same location, the identification of appropriate sites
and the entitlement  process of those sites have been  substantially  completed.
The Company anticipates that the cost of development of self-storage  facilities
in 2002 and  beyond  will be  reduced  to less  than $125  million  per year and
therefore our development staff has been reduced accordingly.

         In addition to the  projects in the  pipeline,  at June 30,  2001,  the
Company had approximately $29.8 million of land held for development.

         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  90% of our  taxable
income is so  distributed  prior to filing of our tax return.  We have satisfied
the REIT distribution requirement since 1980.

         FUNDS FROM  OPERATIONS:  Total funds from operations or "FFO" increased
to $240,542,000  for the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to $222,890,000
for the same  period  in 2000.  FFO  available  to  common  shareholders  (after
deducting  preferred  stock  dividends  but  before  deducting  Equity  Stock  A
dividends)  increased  to  $183,770,000  for the six months  ended June 30, 2001
compared to  $172,807,000  for the same period in 2000.  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 June  30,  2001,  our  debt as a  percentage  of total
shareholders' equity (based on book values) was 4.0%.

         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,  Series M - August 17, 2004 and Series Q - January 19, 2006.  On
or after the respective dates, each of the series of Senior Preferred Stock will
be  redeemable  at our  option,  in  whole  or in  part,  at $25 per  share  (or
depositary  share in the case of the  Series G through  Series M and  Series Q),
plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

         Our market risk  sensitive  instruments  include notes  payable,  which
totaled  $149.8  million at June 30, 2001.  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 June 30, 2001.

         During  April 2001,  the Company  entered  into an  arrangement  with a
financial  institution in which we granted the  institution the right to sell us
up to  1,000,000  shares of our  common  stock at a price of $26.26 per share on
certain dates in September  2001 and October  2001.  See Note 8 to the Company's
June 30, 2001 consolidated financial statements for further information.

(a)  Diluted net income per common share is computed using the weighted  average
     common shares outstanding (adjusted for stock options).  Commencing January
     1,  2000,  the  7,000,000  Class  B  common  shares  outstanding  began  to
     participate in  distributions of our earnings.  Distributions  per share of
     Class B common stock are equal to 97% of the per share distribution paid to
     our  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
     months ended March 31, 2000.

(b)  There are no additional  potentially  dilutive or anti-dilutive  securities
     for the  three or six  months  ended  June 30,  2001  and 2000  within  the
     definitions  of  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  128,
     "Earnings per Share." Accordingly,  there is no separate  presentation of a
     determination of the impact of conversion of anti-dilutive securities (a)
