Public Storage, Inc. Reports Results for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2006

GLENDALE, California - Public Storage, Inc. (NYSE:PSA), announced today
operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

Operating Results for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2006:
- -------------------------------------------------------

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $114,216,000 compared
to $96,411,000 for the same period in 2005, representing an increase of
$17,805,000, or 18.5%. This increase is primarily due to improved operations
from our Same Store, newly developed and acquired self-storage facilities,
reduced minority interest in income and higher interest income. These items were
partially offset by increases in general and administrative expense and
depreciation along with a decrease in equity in earnings of real estate
entities.

Same Store net operating income increased by 6.3% as a result of a 5.1%
improvement in revenues partially offset by a 2.9% increase in cost of
operations. Aggregate net operating income for our newly developed, acquired,
and other self-storage facilities increased by approximately $7,426,000 largely
due to the impact of facilities acquired in 2005 and 2006, combined with
continued fill-up of our newly developed and expansion facilities. Minority
interest in income declined due to the acquisition of minority interests in
2005. Interest income increased due to higher interest rates earned on cash
balances, combined with higher average balances. Depreciation increased due to
the expansion of our real estate portfolio as a result of newly developed and
acquired facilities. General and administrative expense increased primarily as a
result of $1.2 million in legal, consulting, and other costs incurred in the
first quarter of 2006 prior to entering into the merger agreement with Shurgard
Storage Centers, Inc. ("Shurgard") (NYSE: SHU) we signed on March 6, 2006.

Net income allocable to our common shareholders (after allocating net income to
our preferred and equity shareholders) was $62,245,000 or $0.48 per common share
on a diluted basis for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to
$48,719,000 or $0.38 per common share on a diluted basis for the same period in
2005, representing an increase of $0.10 per common share, or 26.3%. The
increases in net income allocable to common shareholders and earnings per common
diluted share are due primarily to the impact of the factors described above.

For the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, we allocated $46,615,000 and
$40,413,000 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. We also recorded allocations of income to our preferred shareholders
with respect to the application of EITF Topic D-42 totaling $1,904,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2005 (none for the same period in 2006).

Weighted average diluted shares decreased to 129,009,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2006 from 129,175,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

Funds from Operations:
- ----------------------

For the three months ended March 31, 2006, funds from operations ("FFO")
increased to $0.94 per common share on a diluted basis as compared to $0.79 for
the same period in 2005, representing an increase of $0.15 per common share, or
19.0%.

For the first quarters of 2006 and 2005, FFO has been negatively impacted as a
result of (i) merger related costs incurred prior to entering into a merger
agreement with Shurgard, (ii) the impact of a gain on the sale, in the first
quarter of 2005, of non-real estate assets previously used by our containerized
storage business totaling $1,143,000, and (iii) the application of EITF Topic
D-42 in the first quarter of 2005 in connection with the redemption of preferred
securities, including amounts in equity in earnings of real estate entities.

The following table provides a summary of the impact of these items that have
occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005:

============ ===========

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. In
addition, we believe that FFO is helpful to investors as an additional measure
of the performance of a REIT, because net income includes the impact of
depreciation, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably
over time, while we believe that the value of real estate fluctuates due to
market conditions and in response to inflation. 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. 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 increased the number of facilities included in the Same Store Facilities from
1,260 facilities at December 31, 2005 to 1,266 facilities at March 31, 2006. The
increase in the Same Store pool of facilities is due to the inclusion of 23
facilities previously classified as Developed or Expansion facilities and the
removal of 17 facilities that are now classified as Expansion facilities. These
facilities are included in the Same Store Facilities because they are all
stabilized and owned since January 1, 2004 and will therefore provide meaningful
comparative data for 2004, 2005, and 2006. The 17 facilities that have been
classified as Expansion facilities are facilities that are either currently
undergoing repackaging activities or will commence such efforts during 2006 and
as a result will no longer provide meaningful comparative data for 2004, 2005
and 2006.

As a result of the change in the Same Store Facilities, the relative weighting
of markets has changed. Accordingly, comparisons should not be made between
information presented in our 2005 reports for the 1,260 Same Store Facilities
and the current 1,266 Same Store Facilities in order to identify trends in
occupancies, realized rents per square foot, or operating results.

The Same Store Facilities contain approximately 73.9 million net rentable square
feet, representing approximately 82% of the aggregate net rentable square feet
of our consolidated self-storage portfolio at March 31, 2006. The following
table summarizes the pre-depreciation historical operating results of the Same
Store facilities:

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) Net Operating Income (before depreciation) or "NOI" excludes the impact of
depreciation expense. Although depreciation is an operating expense, we
believe that NOI is a meaningful measure of operating performance, because
we utilize NOI in making decisions with respect to capital allocations, in
determining current property values, segment performance, and comparing
period to period and market to market property operating results.

c) Square foot occupancies represent weighted average occupancy levels over
the entire period.

d) Realized annual rent per occupied square foot is computed by dividing
rental income by the weighted average occupied square footage for the
period. Realized annual rent per occupied square foot takes into
consideration promotional discounts, credit card fees and other costs that
reduce rental income from the contractual amounts due.

e) Annualized rental income per available square foot ("REVPAF") represents
annualized rental income divided by total available net rentable square
feet.

f) Late charges and administrative fees are excluded from the computation of
realized annual rent per occupied square foot and REVPAF because exclusion
of these amounts more effectively measures our ongoing level of revenue, by
excluding the volatility of late charges, which are dependent principally
upon the level of tenant delinquency, and administrative fees, which are
dependent principally upon the absolute level of move-ins for a period.
3

g) 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 during the remainder of 2006 will depend upon
various factors, among which will be 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:

Merger with Shurgard
- --------------------

As previously announced, on March 6, 2006, the boards of directors of Public
Storage and Shurgard approved a definitive merger agreement under which Public
Storage will acquire Shurgard at a total transaction value of approximately $5.0
billion. Under the transaction, which is taxable, Public Storage will issue
approximately 38.4 million shares of common stock in exchange for outstanding
Shurgard common stock and assume Shurgard's debt of approximately $1.9 billion
(as of December 31, 2005). In addition, approximately $136 million of Shurgard's
preferred stock will be redeemed. The transaction is subject to customary
closing conditions and regulatory approvals, including the approval of the
shareholders of both companies, and is currently targeted to close by the end of
the third quarter of 2006.

More information with respect to the proposed merger can be found in the
registration statement on Form S-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on April 20, 2006.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, we incurred approximately $1.2 million
in legal, consulting, and other costs incurred prior to signing the merger
agreement, which are included in our general and administrative expense for the
quarter. We expect that additional costs will be incurred subsequent to the
merger related to the integration of the two companies and the winding down of
Shurgard. Such costs, the amount of which cannot be determined at this time, are
expected to be expensed when incurred and, as a result, have a negative impact
on earnings.

Development and Asset Acquisition and Disposition Activities:
- -------------------------------------------------------------

During the first quarter of 2006, we opened one newly developed facility at a
total cost of $9.3 million with 89,000 net rentable square feet. We also
completed expansions to three facilities at a total cost of $6.8 million, adding
86,000 net rentable square feet of self-storage space.
4

At March 31, 2006, there were 54 projects that were either under construction or
were expected to begin construction generally within the next year, comprised of
three newly developed self-storage facilities (248,000 net rentable square feet)
with total estimated costs of $51.3 million, 46 projects (2,802,000 net
additional rentable square feet) which expand existing self-storage facilities
and enhance their visual appeal for a total estimated cost of $230.6 million,
and 5 projects (419,000 net rentable square feet) to convert space at former
containerized storage facilities into self-storage space for a total estimated
cost of $17.1 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 first quarter of 2006, we acquired six facilities from third parties,
with an aggregate of 380,000 net rentable square feet, for an aggregate cost of
approximately $51.1 million including assumption of debt on one of these
facilities totaling $4.6 million. Between April 1, 2006 and May 4, 2006, we
acquired three additional facilities with approximately 228,000 net rentable
square feet for an aggregate of approximately $31.1 million. At May 4, 2006, we
are under contract to acquire four additional facilities (total approximate net
rentable square feet of 336,000) at an aggregate cost of approximately $28.1
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.

We were notified that a self-storage facility in Seattle, Washington will be
condemned by local governmental authorities. Accordingly, we commenced
presenting the operating results of this facility in discontinued operations on
our consolidated statement of income effective January 1, 2006. The net income
from this facility for all periods presented is included in Discontinued
Operations, and has been reclassified from revenues, cost of operations, and
depreciation expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. We expect the
condemnation to be completed by the third quarter of 2006, with an expected gain
on sale of approximately $2 million.

Issuance and Redemption of Preferred Securities:
- ------------------------------------------------

On January 19, 2006, we redeemed our 8.60% Series Q Preferred Stock for $172.5
million, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Series Q Preferred Stock was
called for redemption in November 2005.

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.

On May 3, 2006, we issued 20,700,000 depositary shares, with each depositary
share representing 1/1,000 of a share of 7.25% Cumulative Preferred Stock,
Series I. The offering resulted in $517.5 million of gross proceeds. We expect
that these proceeds will be used to fund cash requirements with respect to the
merger with Shurgard.

During September and October we have the opportunity to redeem our 8.00% Series
R preferred stock ($510 million) and our 7.88% Series S preferred stock ($143.75
million), respectively. The redemption of these securities, on their earliest
redemption dates, would result in EITF Topic D-42 allocations of approximately
$22 million in the third quarter of 2006. In addition, PS Business Parks, Inc.,
an affiliate in which we own approximately 44% of the common equity, has similar
redemption opportunities. Our pro rata share of EITF Topic D-42 allocations from
our investment in PS Business Parks, Inc. is expected to be approximately $2.1
million throughout the remainder of 2006.

Share Repurchases:
- ------------------

Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase from time to time of up to
25,000,000 shares of our common stock on the open market or in privately
negotiated transactions. From the inception of the repurchase program through
May 4, 2006 (none from January 1, 2006 through May 4, 2006), we have repurchased
a total of 22,201,720 shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of
approximately $567.2 million.

Distributions Declared:
- -----------------------

On May 3, 2006, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly distribution of
$0.50 per regular common share and $0.6125 per share on the depositary shares
each representing 1/1,000 of a share of Equity Stock, Series A. Distributions
were also declared with respect to the Company's various series of preferred
stock. All the distributions are payable on June 29, 2006 to shareholders of
record as of June 2, 2006.

occurred, rather than to estimate such cancellations. SFAS 123R requires
that we estimate future cancellations, and recognize the cumulative effect
of the change through December 31, 2005 on our March 31, 2006 income
statement.
(c) Discontinued operations includes a gain on sale of non-real estate assets
previously used by the discontinued containerized storage operations
totaling $1,143,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Discontinued
operations also includes the operations of a Seattle, Washington
self-storage facility which is in the process of being condemned.

(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. In addition, we believe that FFO is helpful to investors as an
additional measure of the performance of a REIT, because net income
includes the impact of depreciation, which assumes that the value of real
estate diminishes predictably over time, while we believe that the value of
real estate fluctuates due to market conditions and in response to
inflation. 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.

(c) FFO per common share 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 for
the quarter ended March 31, 2005.

(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 by FAD. FAD is presented because many analysts consider
it to be a measure of the performance and liquidity 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
that are not Same Store facilities. Such facilities are not included in the
Same Store pool either because they were not stabilized for the entire
period from January 1, 2004 through March 31, 2005, or because we acquired
these facilities from third parties after December 31, 2003.

(b) Self-storage revenues and cost of operations do not include revenues and
expenses generated at the facilities with respect to tenant reinsurance,
retail sales and truck rentals.

(c) We had one newly developed facility that opened on March 31, 2006 and did
not generate any revenues nor incur any expenditures.
