PUBLIC  STORAGE,  INC.  REPORTS  RESULTS  FOR THE FOURTH  QUARTER AND YEAR ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 2005

GLENDALE,  California  -Public Storage,  Inc. (NYSE and PCX:PSA) announced today
operating results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2005.

OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005:
- ----------------------------------------------------------

Net  income  for the three  months  ended  December  31,  2005 was  $123,372,000
compared to $107,271,000  for the same period in 2004,  representing an increase
of  $16,101,000,  or 15%. This increase is primarily due to improved  operations
from our Same Store,  newly developed and acquired  self-storage  facilities,  a
gain on the  disposition of real estate  assets,  reduced  minority  interest in
income  and  higher  interest  income.  These  items  were  partially  offset by
increases  in general and  administrative  expense,  depreciation  and  interest
expense along with a decrease from equity in earnings of real estate entities.

Net  operating  income  (before  depreciation)  for our  Same  Store  facilities
increased by 9.4% as a result of a 5.0% improvement in revenues  combined with a
3.4% reduction in cost of operations. Equity in earnings of real estate entities
was lower in the fourth  quarter of 2005 as  compared to the same period in 2004
primarily  due to a gain recorded in 2004 as a result of the sale of real estate
recorded  by one of the  entities  in which  we have an  interest.  General  and
administrative  expense  increased due to higher stock option and legal expenses
in 2005 combined with an adjustment to a legal accrual that reduced  general and
administrative expense in the fourth quarter of 2004.

Net income allocable to our common  shareholders (after allocating net income to
our preferred and equity stock shareholders) was $65,651,000 or $0.51 per common
share on a diluted  basis for the three months ended  December 31, 2005 compared
to  $59,335,000 or $0.46 per common share on a diluted basis for the same period
in 2004,  representing  an  increase  of $0.05 per  common  share,  or 11%.  The
increases in net income allocable to our common  shareholders and net income per
common share on a diluted  basis are due  primarily to the impact of the factors
described above with respect to the increase in net income  partially  offset by
increased  income  allocated to our preferred  shareholders,  due to the factors
described  below.  Weighted  average diluted shares decreased to 128,743,000 for
the three months ended December 31, 2005 from  129,088,000  for the three months
ended December 31, 2004.

For the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, we allocated  $46,731,000
and $40,632,000 of our net income,  respectively,  to our preferred shareholders
based on distributions paid. The year-over-year  increase is due to the issuance
of  additional  preferred  securities,  partially  offset by the  redemption  of
preferred  securities  that had higher  dividend rates than the newly  preferred
securities  issued.  For the three months ended  December 31, 2005 and 2004,  we
also  recorded  an  additional   allocation  of  net  income  to  our  preferred
shareholders  and a  corresponding  reduction  of net income  allocation  to our
common shareholders of $5,634,000 (or $0.04 per common share) and $1,929,000 (or
$0.01 per common share),  respectively,  pursuant to Emerging  Issues Task Force
("EITF") Topic D-42 in connection with the redemption of preferred securities.

OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005:
- -------------------------------------------------------

Net income for the year ended  December  31, 2005 was  $456,393,000  compared to
$366,213,000  for  the  same  period  in  2004,   representing  an  increase  of
$90,180,000,  or 25%. This increase is primarily due to improved operations from
our Same Store, newly developed and acquired  self-storage  facilities,  reduced
minority  interest in income,  increased gains on the disposition of real estate
assets  and  higher  interest  income.  These  items  were  partially  offset by
increases in  depreciation,  general and  administrative  expense,  and interest
expense.

Net  operating  income  (before  depreciation)  for our  Same  Store  facilities
increased by 7.2% as a result of a 4.9% improvement in revenues offset partially
by a 0.5% increase in cost of operations.  Minority  interest in income declined
primarily due to a reduction in redemption and  restructuring  costs  associated
with  preferred  partnership  units  in 2004  combined  with the  redemption  of
preferred  partnership  units during 2005.  General and  administrative  expense
increased due to higher stock option and legal expenses in 2005 combined with an
adjustment to a legal accrual that reduced general and administrative expense in
2004. Interest expense increased primarily as a result of increased debt levels.

                                       1



We allocated income to minority  interests  pursuant to EITF Topic D-42 totaling
$874,000  and  $2,063,000  for the  year  ended  December  31,  2005  and  2004,
respectively. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2004, we allocated
$8.0  million  to  preferred  minority  interests  as  a  result  of  a  special
distribution associated with a restructuring.

Net income allocable to our common  shareholders (after allocating net income to
our  preferred  and equity stock  shareholders)  was  $254,395,000  or $1.97 per
common share on a diluted basis for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to
$178,063,000 or $1.38 per common share on a diluted basis for the same period in
2004,  representing an increase of $0.59 per common share, or 43%. The increases
in net income allocable to common shareholders and net income per common diluted
share are due  primarily  to the  impact of the  factors  described  above  with
respect to the  increase in net income,  partially  offset by an increase in net
income allocated to our preferred shareholders.  Weighted average diluted shares
increased to 128,819,000  for the year ended December 31, 2005 from  128,681,000
for the year ended December 31, 2004.

For the year ended  December 31, 2005 and 2004,  we allocated  $173,017,000  and
$157,925,000  of our net income,  respectively,  to our  preferred  shareholders
based on distributions paid. The year-over-year  increase is due to the issuance
of  additional  preferred  securities,  partially  offset by the  redemption  of
preferred   securities  at  higher  dividend  rates  than  the  newly  preferred
securities  issued.  We also  recorded  allocations  of income to our  preferred
shareholders  with  respect  to the  application  of EITF  Topic  D-42  totaling
$7,538,000  (or $0.06 per  common  share)  and  $8,724,000  (or $0.07 per common
share) for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS:
- ----------------------

For the three months ended  December 31,  2005,  funds from  operations  ("FFO")
increased to $0.96 per common share on a diluted  basis as compared to $0.82 for
the same period in 2004,  representing an increase of $0.14 per common share, or
17.1%.  For the year ended  December 31, 2005, FFO increased to $3.61 per common
share on a  diluted  basis as  compared  to $2.93  for the same  period in 2004,
representing an increase of $0.68 per common share, or 23.2%.

Comparisons  of FFO per  common  share  for the three and  twelve  months  ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004 have been impacted as a result of (i) the application
of EITF Topic D-42 in connection  with the  redemption of preferred  securities,
including amounts in equity in earnings of real estate entities,  (ii) a payment
of a special  distribution to certain  preferred  unitholders in connection with
the  restructure  of the  securities  in the  first  quarter  of 2004,  (iii) an
approximately  $1,250,000  reduction to a legal accrual in the fourth quarter of
2004 as a  result  of  resolution  of a legal  matter,  (iv)  the  impact  of an
approximately  $1,143,000  gain on the sale,  in the first  quarter of 2005,  of
non-real estate assets previously used by our containerized storage business and
(v) losses  incurred  in our tenant  reinsurance  business,  as well as property
casualty losses, caused by hurricanes.

The  following  table  provides a summary of the impact of these items that have
occurred during the three months and year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004:

FFO is a term  defined by the  National  Association  of Real Estate  Investment
Trusts. FFO is a supplemental  non-GAAP financial disclosure and it is generally
defined as net income before  depreciation  and does not include gains or losses
on the disposition of real estate assets.  FFO  computations do not consider our
scheduled principal payments on debt, capital  improvements,  distributions,  or
other  obligations of the Company.  FFO is not a substitute for our cash flow or
net income as a measure of our liquidity or operating performance or our ability
to  pay  dividends.  Other  REITs  may  not  compute  FFO in  the  same  manner;
accordingly,  FFO may not be comparable  among REITs.  FFO is presented  because
management and many analysts  consider FFO to be one measure of the  performance
of real estate companies and because we believe that FFO is helpful to investors
as  an  additional   measure  of   performance  of  a  REIT.  See  the  attached
reconciliation  of net income to funds from operations  included in the selected
financial data attached to this press release.

PROPERTY OPERATIONS:
- --------------------

We derive substantially all of our revenues from the ownership and management of
self-storage  facilities.  In order to evaluate the  performance  of our overall
self-storage  portfolio,  we analyze the operating performance of our stabilized
self-storage facilities.

At December 31, 2005, our "Same Store" portfolio  consists of 1,260  facilities,
which  represents  the  facilities  that we have  consolidated  in our financial
statements and have been operating on a stabilized  basis throughout 2003, 2004,
and 2005.

a)   See  attached   reconciliation   of  these  amounts  to  our   consolidated
     self-storage  revenues  and  operating  expenses.   Revenues  and  cost  of
     operations do not include ancillary  revenues and expenses generated at the
     facilities  with  respect  to tenant  reinsurance,  retail  sales and truck
     rentals.  "Other  costs  of  management"  included  in cost  of  operations
     principally represents all the indirect costs incurred in the operations of
     the facilities.  Indirect costs principally  include  supervisory costs and
     corporate overhead cost incurred to support the operating activities of the
     facilities.

b)   Square foot occupancies  represent  weighted average  occupancy levels over
     the entire period.
c)   Realized  annual  rent per  occupied  square  foot is  computed by dividing
     annualized  rental  income,  net  of  discounts,  by the  weighted  average
     occupied  square footage for the period.  Realized annual rent per occupied
     square foot takes into consideration promotional discounts, bad debt costs,
     credit  card  fees and other  costs  that  reduce  rental  income  from the
     contractual  amounts due.  Realized  annual rent per  occupied  square foot
     excludes late charges and administrative fees collected and it is presented
     because we believe it is useful in evaluating our operations.
d)   Annualized  rental income per available  square foot ("REVPAF")  represents
     annualized rental income, net of discounts,  divided by total available net
     rentable square feet. REVPAF excludes late charges and administrative  fees
     collected.  REVPAF  is  presented  because  we  believe  it  is  useful  in
     evaluating our operations.
e)   In place  annual  rent  per  occupied  square  foot  represents  annualized
     contractual   rents  per  occupied  square  foot  without   reductions  for
     promotional discounts, and excludes late charges and administrative fees.

The growth in rental income in 2006 will depend upon various factors,  including
our ability to maintain high occupancy levels, and increase rental rates charged
to both new and existing  customers.  The following table summarizes  additional
selected financial data with respect to our Same Store facilities:

EFFECTS OF HURRICANES:
- ----------------------

As previously  reported,  in August 2005, all eight of our facilities located in
New Orleans were damaged as a result of Hurricane Katrina. All of the facilities
were closed for operations for several weeks  following the hurricane;  however,
all but  three  of  these  facilities  have  since  reopened.  Two of the  three
facilities  that  remain  closed  will  not be able  to  reopen  at all  without
substantial restoration and repair work.

During the quarter ended  December 31, 2005,  our net operating  income  (before
depreciation) for these eight facilities was $494,000 compared to $1,116,000 for
the same period last year,  a reduction  of $622,000 or 56%.  For the year ended
December 31, 2005, net operating income (before  depreciation) was $3,005,000 as
compared to $4,013,000  for the same period in 2004, a decrease of $1,008,000 or
25%.  Included  in the  caption  "Casualty  Loss" for the quarter and year ended
December  31,  2005 is  estimated  business  interruption  income  approximating
$675,000,  representing  our  estimated  recovery  from our insurers for loss of
business through December 31, 2005.

Notwithstanding  that  five  of our  facilities  in New  Orleans  are  currently
operating, we believe that the indirect economic effects of the hurricane on the
city may have a negative  impact on our  facilities'  operating  results and are
expected to continue for an indeterminate time period.

On October 24, 2005, Hurricane Wilma struck Southern Florida, where we sustained
damage to 74 of our  facilities.  All of our  facilities,  including the damaged
facilities,  were  placed back into  operation  soon after and the impact to our
operating results for the fourth quarter of 2005 was not significant.

We have third-party  insurance coverage,  subject to certain  deductibles,  that
covers  restoration of physical damage to our facilities.  We also have business
interruption insurance, subject to certain deductibles,  that principally covers
loss of income due to units being offline as a result of physical  damage.  Loss
of income  occasioned  entirely by indirect  economic  effects is generally  not
covered.

We estimate that the aggregate cost to restore our  facilities  damaged in these
hurricanes will be  approximately  $10.7 million.  We expect our insurers to pay
for approximately  $3.5 million of these costs. We recorded a casualty loss with
respect to the damage to our self-storage  facilities amounting to approximately
$2,592,000  during the year ended December 31, 2005, which represents the excess
of the net book value of assets damaged over the insurance proceeds we expect to
receive.  We recorded similar casualty losses during the year ended December 31,
2004 of $1,250,000.

                                       4



The above  estimates are subject to change as we and our insurers (i) more fully
evaluate  the extent of  physical  damage,  which may not be fully  determinable
until  commencement of demolition,  (ii) develop detailed  restoration plans and
(iii) evaluate the impact of local conditions in the building labor and supplies
markets on restoration  costs. In addition,  we have not yet determined  whether
restoration of the two most significantly damaged facilities in New Orleans will
be economically viable; however, if we did not restore these facilities we could
apply the  insurance  proceeds  towards the  development  of facilities in other
locations.

Our tenant insurance  subsidiary reinsures policies against claims for losses to
goods stored by tenants in our facilities,  for tenants who elect such coverage.
Included in cost of operations for tenant  reinsurance for the fourth quarter of
2005 is $500,000  ($1,000,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005) in estimated
losses with respect to tenant  claims as a result of damage  sustained  from the
impact of both  Hurricanes  Katrina and Wilma.  During  2004,  we recorded  $1.5
million for  estimated  losses from tenant  claims for the series of  hurricanes
that occurred during the third quarter of 2004.

DEVELOPMENT, ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION ACTIVITIES:
- ----------------------------------------------------

During the fourth quarter of 2005, we opened three newly developed facilities at
a cost of $20.9  million  containing  204,000 net rentable  square feet. We also
completed  five  projects  whereby we  converted  space at former  containerized
storage  facilities  into  self-storage  space at a total cost of $10.0 million,
adding an aggregate  386,000 net  rentable  square feet of  self-storage  space.
Additionally,  four expansion projects added 190,000 net rentable square feet at
a cost of $12.4 million.

At December 31, 2005, there were 62 projects that were either under construction
or were expected to begin construction generally within the next year, comprised
of four newly  developed  self-storage  facilities  (338,000 net rentable square
feet) with a total estimated cost of $61.2 million,  51 projects  (3,020,000 net
additional rentable square feet) which expand existing  self-storage  facilities
and enhance their visual appeal for a total  estimated  cost of $240.3  million,
and seven projects (553,000 net rentable square feet) to convert space at former
containerized  storage  facilities into self-storage space for a total estimated
cost of $21.7 million.  These projects will be fully funded by us. Opening dates
for these facilities are estimated  through the next 24 months.  The development
of these facilities is subject to various risks and contingencies.

During the fourth quarter of 2005, we acquired 11 facilities from third parties,
with an aggregate of 920,000 net rentable  square feet, for an aggregate cost of
approximately  $130 million in cash. These  acquisitions were funded entirely by
us.

In addition to the  facilities  acquired in the quarter ended December 31, 2005,
between  January 1 and  February 6, 2006 we acquired two  additional  facilities
with 112,000 net rentable square feet for  approximately  $14 million  including
assumption of debt on one of these facilities totaling $4.6 million. At February
6, 2006, we are under  contract to acquire seven  additional  facilities  (total
approximate  net  rentable  square  feet of  527,000)  at an  aggregate  cost of
approximately $67 million.  We anticipate that these acquisitions will be funded
entirely by us. Each of these contracts is subject to significant contingencies,
and there is no assurance that any of these facilities will be acquired.

On  August  5,  2005  we  acquired  the  third  party  institutional  investor's
partnership  interest in PSAC Storage  Investors,  LLC for  approximately  $41.4
million in cash. The institutional investor along with Mr. Hughes, the Company's
Chairman  of the  Board,  were  partners  in  PSAC  Storage  Investors,  LLC,  a
partnership  that  owned  an  interest  in our  consolidated  development  joint
venture. As a result of the acquisition,  we began consolidating the accounts of
PSAC Storage Investors,  LLC, during the third quarter of 2005. In addition, the
acquisition  allowed us to terminate the partnership  and the development  joint
venture as of  November  17,  2005,  and on that date we  acquired  Mr.  Hughes'
interest  in PSAC  Storage  Investors,  LLC  for  approximately  $64.5  million,
pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement.

ISSUANCE AND REDEMPTION OF PREFERRED SECURITIES:
- ------------------------------------------------

On November 29, 2005, we called for  redemption our 8.60%  Cumulative  Preferred
Stock, Series Q with a redemption value of $172,500,000, plus accrued dividends.
These shares were subsequently  redeemed on January 19, 2006. We recognized EITF
Topic D-42 charges  totaling  $5,634,000 for the three months ended December 31,
2005 with respect to this redemption.

On  December  12,  2005,  we  issued  4,000,000  depositary  shares,  with  each
depositary share representing  1/1,000 of a share of 7.00% Cumulative  Preferred
Stock, Series G. The offering resulted in $100 million of gross proceeds.

On January 19, 2006, we issued 4,000,000 depositary shares, with each depositary
share  representing  1/1,000  of a share of 6.95%  Cumulative  Preferred  Stock,
Series H. The offering  resulted in $100 million of gross  proceeds.  On January
27,  2006,  we  issued  an  additional  200,000  depository  shares,  with  each
depositary  share  representing  1/1,000  of a  share  of our  6.95%  Cumulative
Preferred Stock, Series H resulting in $5 million of gross proceeds.

(a)  The historical  operations of a self-storage facility that was condemned in
     July 2005, a commercial  facility that we sold in 2004,  and the historical
     operations of the containerized  storage facilities that we have closed are
     included in "Discontinued  operations."  Discontinued operations includes a
     gain on sale of non-real estate assets  previously used by the discontinued
     containerized storage operations totaling  approximately  $1,143,000 during
     the year ended  December 31,  2005.  Discontinued  operations  for the year
     ended  December 31,  2005,  includes a gain of  $5,180,000  relating to the
     condemnation  of a  self-storage  facility  pursuant  to an eminent  domain
     proceeding.
(b)  Ancillary  operations  include tenant  reinsurance,  merchandise sales, and
     truck  rentals at our  self-storage  facilities,  as well as  management of
     facilities  owned  by  third-party  owners  and  facilities  owned  by  the
     Unconsolidated Entities.

                                       7



(c)  On March 17, 2005, we redeemed all outstanding  9.5% Series N ($40,000,000)
     preferred  units and on March 29, 2005 we redeemed all  outstanding  9.125%
     Series O  ($45,000,000)  preferred  units.  In  accordance  with the  SEC's
     clarification  of EITF  Topic  D-42,  we  allocated  $874,000  to  minority
     interests,  representing  costs  incurred when these units were  originally
     issued. As previously reported, in the first quarter of 2004 the holders of
     $200  million of the Series N preferred  units  agreed,  in exchange  for a
     special  distribution of $8.0 million,  to a reduction in the  distribution
     rate on their  preferred  units  from  9.50%  per year to 6.40%  per  year,
     effective  March 22,  2004.  This $8.0  million  special  distribution  was
     reflected  as minority  interest in income for the year ended  December 31,
     2004,  along with  $2,063,000  in costs  incurred  when the $200 million in
     units were  originally  issued,  in  accordance  with EITF Topic D-42.  The
     ongoing  distributions reflect a partial period for the time the units were
     outstanding during each period.
(d)  Included in equity in earnings  for the twelve  months  ended  December 31,
     2005 and 2004,  is our share of PSB's  EITF  Topic  D-42  charges  totaling
     approximately $131,000 and $2,171,000,  respectively (none during either of
     the three month periods then ended).

(a)  Funds from operations ("FFO") is a term defined by the National Association
     of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). It is generally defined as net
     income before depreciation with respect to real estate assets and gains and
     losses on real estate assets.  FFO is presented because management and many
     analysts  consider FFO to be one measure of the  performance of real estate
     companies  and because we believe  that FFO is helpful to  investors  as an
     additional  measure of the  performance of a REIT. FFO  computations do not
     consider  scheduled  principal  payments  on  debt,  capital  improvements,
     distribution, and other obligations of the Company. FFO is not a substitute
     for our cash flow or net income as a measure of our  liquidity or operating
     performance  or our ability to pay  dividends.  Other REITs may not compute
     FFO in the same manner; accordingly, FFO may not be comparable among REITs.

(b)  On March 17, 2005, we redeemed all outstanding  9.5% Series N ($40,000,000)
     preferred units,  and on March 29, 2005 we redeemed all outstanding  9.125%
     Series O  ($45,000,000)  preferred  units and, in accordance with the SEC's
     clarification  of EITF  Topic  D-42,  we  allocated  $874,000  to  minority
     interests,  representing  costs  incurred when these units were  originally
     issued. As previously reported, in the first quarter of 2004 the holders of
     $200  million of the Series N preferred  units  agreed,  in exchange  for a
     special  distribution of $8.0 million,  to a reduction in the  distribution
     rate on their  preferred  units  from  9.50%  per year to 6.40%  per  year,
     effective  March 22,  2004.  This $8.0  million  special  distribution  was
     reflected  as minority  interest in income for the year ended  December 31,
     2004,  along with  $2,063,000  in costs  incurred  when the $200 million in
     units were  originally  issued,  in  accordance  with EITF Topic D-42.  The
     ongoing  distributions reflect a partial period for the time the units were
     outstanding during each period.

(c)  FFO per common share for the year ended  December  31, 2005 was  positively
     impacted by a gain on sale of non-real estate assets previously used by our
     discontinued   containerized   storage  business   totaling   approximately
     $1,143,000 or $0.01 per common share.

(a)  Funds from operations ("FFO") is a term defined by the National Association
     of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). It is generally defined as net
     income before  depreciation and gains and losses on real estate assets. FFO
     is presented  because  management and many analysts  consider FFO to be one
     measure of the performance of real estate  companies and because we believe
     that  FFO  is  helpful  to  investors  as  an  additional  measure  of  the
     performance of a REIT. FFO computations do not consider scheduled principal
     payments on debt, capital improvements, distribution, and other obligations
     of the Company.  FFO is not a substitute for our cash flow or net income as
     a measure of our liquidity or operating  performance  or our ability to pay
     dividends. Other REITs may not compute FFO in the same manner; accordingly,
     FFO may not be comparable among REITs.

(b)  Funds available for distribution ("FAD") represents FFO, plus 1) impairment
     charges with  respect to real estate  assets,  2) the  non-cash  portion of
     stock-based  compensation  expense,  and 3) income  allocation to preferred
     equity   holders  in  accordance   with  EITF  Topic  D-42,   less  capital
     expenditures.  The  distribution  payout  ratio is computed by dividing the
     distribution  paid to common  shareholders by FAD. FAD is presented because
     many analysts consider it to be a measure of the performance of real estate
     companies  and because we believe  that FAD is helpful to  investors  as an
     additional  measure of the  performance  of a REIT. FAD is not a substitute
     for our cash flow or net  income as a measure of our  liquidity,  operating
     performance,  or our ability to pay dividends.  Other REITs may not compute
     FAD in the same manner; accordingly, FAD may not be comparable among REITs.

(a)  We consolidate the operating results of additional  self-storage facilities
