NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 1996 1. Description of the business --------------------------- Public Storage, Inc. (the "Company") is a California corporation which was organized in 1980. The Company is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") that acquires, develops, owns and operates self-service mini-warehouse facilities which offer self-storage spaces for lease, usually on a month-to-month basis, for personal and business use. The Company, to a lesser extent, also owns and operates business park facilities containing commercial and industrial rental space. Prior to November 16, 1995, the Company's operations were managed, pursuant to contractual arrangements, by Public Storage Advisers, Inc. (the "Adviser"), the Company's investment advisor, by Public Storage Management, Inc. ("PSMI"), its mini-warehouse property operator and by Public Storage Commercial Properties Group, Inc. ("PSCP"), its business park facility operator. On November 16, 1995, in a series of mergers among PSMI and its affiliates, culminating in the merger of PSMI into the Company (the "PSMI Merger"), the Company became self-administered and self-managed and acquired substantially all of the United States real estate operations of PSMI. As a result of the PSMI Merger, the Company's name was changed from Storage Equities, Inc. to Public Storage, Inc. The Company invests in real estate facilities primarily through the acquisition of wholly-owned facilities combined with the acquisition of equity interests in real estate entities owning real estate facilities. At March 31, 1996, the Company had direct and indirect equity interests in 1,065 properties located in 37 states, including 1,030 mini-warehouse facilities and 35 business parks. All of these facilities are operated by the Company under the "Public Storage" name. In addition, the Company operates real estate facilities on behalf of various ownership entities, substantially all of which are partnerships and REITs in which the Company has an ownership interest. 2. Summary of significant accounting policies ------------------------------------------ Basis of presentation --------------------- The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1996. For further information, 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, 1995. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, majority owned subsidiaries, and twenty-one limited partnerships (the "Consolidated Partnerships") in which the Company has significant economic interest and is able to exercise significant control through its ownership of limited and general partnership interests. The Company and the Consolidated Partnerships own a total of 598 real estate facilities (307 which are owned wholly by the Company) consisting of 576 mini-warehouses and 22 business parks. The Consolidated Partnerships principally consist of a series of eight partnerships owning a total of 240 real estate facilities, 211 of which are owned jointly between the partnerships and the Company. During 1995 and the first quarter of 1996, the Company increased its ownership interest and control in the remaining thirteen Consolidated Partnerships, and as a result, the accounts of these partnerships have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. 6 Basis of presentation --------------------- The Company's aggregate cost of its interests in the Consolidated Partnerships is less than the historical carrying amount of the underlying net assets of the Consolidated Partnerships. In consolidation, the difference between the Company's cost and the historical carrying value of the underlying properties has been allocated to the real estate facilities and is being amortized over the remaining lives of the real estate facilities. The Company also has equity investments in limited partnerships and other REITs owning in aggregate 467 real estate facilities (454 mini-warehouses and 13 business park facilities). Substantially all of these investments are accounted for using the equity method. Income taxes ------------ 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, the Company is not taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders provided that the Company meets certain tests. The Company believes it will meet these tests during 1996, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. Allowance for possible losses ----------------------------- The Company has no allowance for possible losses relating to any of its real estate investments, including mortgage notes receivable. The need for such an allowance is evaluated by management by means of periodic reviews of its investment portfolio. Cash and cash equivalents ------------------------- For purposes of financial statement presentation, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Depreciation ------------ 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. Intangible assets ----------------- Intangible assets consist of property management contracts ($165,000,000) and the cost over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets ($67,726,000) acquired in the PSMI Merger. Intangible assets are amortized straight-line over 25 years. At March 31, 1996, intangible assets are net of accumulated amortization of $3,491,000 ($1,164,000 at December 31, 1995). Included in depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 1996 is $2,327,000 related to the amortization of intangible assets (none for the three months ended March 31, 1995). 7 Net income per common share --------------------------- Net income per common share is computed using the weighted average common shares outstanding (adjusted for stock options). The inclusion of the Class B Common Stock in the determination of earnings per common share has been determined to be anti-dilutive (after giving effect to the pro forma additional income required to satisfy certain contingencies required for the Class B common stock to convert into common stock) and accordingly, the conversion of the Class B common stock into common stock has not been assumed. The Company's preferred stocks were determined not to be common stock equivalents. In computing earnings per common share, preferred stock dividends reduced income available to common stockholders. Fully diluted earnings per common are not presented, as the assumed conversion of the Company's convertible preferred stock would be anti-dilutive. Revenue/expense recognition --------------------------- Property rents are recognized as earned. Equity in earnings of real estate entities are recognized based on the Company's ownership interest in the earnings of each of the unconsolidated real estate entities. Leasing commissions relating to the business park operations are expensed as incurred. 3. Business combinations ----------------------- On March 26, 1996, the Company completed separate merger transactions with Public Storage Properties IX, Inc. ("Properties 9") and Public Storage Business Parks, Inc. ("PSBP"), respectively, whereby the Company acquired all the outstanding stock of Properties 9 and PSBP in exchange for cash and common stock of the Company. Properties 9 and PSBP were REITs and affiliates of the Company. Properties 9 owned and operated 14 mini-warehouses and one business park and PSBP owned and operated one business park. The aggregate acquisition cost of Properties 9 was $47,563,000, consisting of the issuance of common stock - $24,719,0000, cash - $9,907,000 and the Company's pre-existing investment in Properties 9 of $12,937,000. The aggregate acquisition cost of PSBP was $11,305,000, consisting of the issuance of common stock - $5,249,0000, cash - $2,719,000 and the Company's pre-existing investment in PSBP of $3,337,000. During the first quarter of 1996, the Company acquired approximately 64% of the limited partnership units of an affiliated partnership which owns 28 mini-warehouse facilities for approximately $41,080,000 in cash. This acquisition combined with the Company's existing general partnership interest in the partnership significantly increased the Company's ownership interest and control of the partnership and, as a result, the Company began to consolidate the accounts of this partnership for financial statement purposes. Each of the above transactions has been accounted for as a purchase; accordingly, allocations of the total acquisition cost to the net assets acquired were made based on the fair value of such assets and liabilities as of the dates of each respective transaction. The fair market values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with respect to the transactions are summarized as follows: 8 Properties 9 PSBP Other merger merger Acquisitions Total ------- ------- ------- -------- (in thousands) Real estate facilities................... $49,090 $ 12,004 $87,569 $148,663 Other assets............................. 249 15 220 484 Accrued and other liabilities............ (1,776) (714) (1,336) (3,826) Minority interest........................ - - (17,510) (17,510) ------- ------- ------- -------- $47,563 $11,305 $68,943 $127,811 ======= ======= ======= ======== The historical operating results of the above business combinations prior to each respective acquisition date have not been included in the Company's historical operating results and on a pro forma basis would not materially effect reported revenues, net income or earnings per common share. 4. Real estate facilities ---------------------- In addition to the 44 real estate facilities acquired in connection with business acquisitions, the Company acquired 13 mini-warehouse facilities during the first quarter of 1996 for an aggregate cost of $75,355,000, consisting of the cancellation of mortgage notes receivable totaling $700,000, the assumption of mortgage notes payable totaling $1,701,000 and cash totaling $72,954,000. During the first quarter of 1996, the Company expended approximately $4,396,000 constructing seven mini-warehouse facilities, one of which has been completed and put into operation during March 1996. Included in real estate facilities at March 31, 1996 is approximately $7,799,000 of costs related to the remaining six facilities under construction. 5. Investments in real estate entities ----------------------------------- The Company's investment in real estate entities at March 31, 1996, generally consists of limited and general partnership interests in real estate limited partnerships in approximately 46 partnerships and common stock in 14 REITs. Such interests consists generally of ownership interests ranging from 15% to 45% and are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, earnings are recognized by the Company based upon the Company's ownership interest in each of the partnerships and REITs. Provisions of the agreements of the partnerships and REITs provide for the payment of preferred cash distributions to other investors (until certain specified amounts have been paid) without regard to the pro rata interest of investors in current earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company recognized earnings from its investments of $4,611,000 and received cash distributions totaling $3,626,000. Included in equity in earnings of real estate entities for the three months ended March 31, 1996 is the Company's share of depreciation expense totaling $4,494,000 (including amortization totaling $2,094,000, representing the amortization of the Company's cost basis over the underlying book value of the Company's equity interest in each of the entities). 6. Mortgage notes receivable from affiliates ----------------------------------------- At March 31, 1996, mortgage notes receivable balance of $26,347,000 is net of related discounts totaling $380,000. The mortgage notes bear interest at stated rates ranging from 7.4% to 14.0% and are secured by 14 mini-warehouse facilities owned by affiliated partnerships. 9 During the first quarter of 1996, the Company canceled mortgage notes which had a net carrying value of $700,000 as part of the acquisition cost of the underlying real estate facility securing the mortgage note. 7. Minority interest ----------------- In consolidation, the Company classifies outsiders' ownership interests in the net assets of each of the Consolidated Partnerships as minority interest on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Minority interest in income consists of such outsiders' share of the operating results of the Company relating to the consolidated operations of the Consolidated Partnerships. During 1996, in connection with a business combination (Note 3) minority interest was increased by $17,510,000, representing the remaining partners' equity interests in the aggregate net assets of the partnership. During 1996 the Company acquired limited partnership interests in the Consolidated Partnerships for an aggregate cost of $655,000. These transactions had the effect of reducing minority interest by approximately $201,000 (the historical book value of such interests in the underlying net assets of the partnerships). The excess of the underlying book value over cost ($454,000) has been allocated to real estate facilities in consolidation. 8. Shareholders' equity -------------------- Preferred stock --------------- At March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the Company had the following series of Preferred Stock outstanding: Shares Outstanding Carrying Amount -------------------------- ---------------------------- Dividend March 31, December 31, March 31, December 31, Series Rate 1996 1995 1996 1995 - ---------------------------------- ------------ ------------ ------------ -------------- ------------- Series A 10.00% 1,825,000 1,825,000 $ 45,625,000 $ 45,625,000 Series B 9.20% 2,386,000 2,386,000 59,650,000 59,650,000 Series C Adjustable 1,200,000 1,200,000 30,000,000 30,000,000 Series D 9.50% 1,200,000 1,200,000 30,000,000 30,000,000 Series E 10.00% 2,195,000 2,195,000 54,875,000 54,875,000 Series F 9.75% 2,300,000 2,300,000 57,500,000 57,500,000 Series G 8.875% 6,900 6,900 172,500,000 172,500,000 Series H 8.45% 6,750 - 168,750,000 - ------------ ------------ -------------- ------------- Senior Preferred Stock totals 11,119,650 11,112,900 618,900,000 450,150,000 ------------ ------------ -------------- ------------- Convertible 8.25% 2,285,400 2,300,000 57,135,000 57,500,000 Mandatory Convertible Participating Variable 31,200 31,200 28,470,000 28,470,000 ------------ ------------ -------------- ------------- Convertible Preferred Stock totals 2,316,600 2,331,200 85,605,000 85,970,000 ------------ ------------ -------------- ------------- 13,436,250 13,444,100 $704,505,000 $536,120,000 ============ ============ ============== ============= The carrying amounts are equivalent to the liquidation preference, with the exception of the Mandatory Convertible Participating Preferred Stock which has a liquidation preference equal to $31,200,000. On January 25, 1996, the Company issued 6,750,000 depository shares (depository shares, each representing 1/1,000 of a share) of its 8.45% Series H Preferred Stock raising net proceeds of approximately $163.1 million. 10 The Mandatory Convertible Participating Preferred Stock will automatically convert into common stock of the Company, however, prior to that time it is convertible at the option of the holder. At conversion, the number of common shares to be issued to the holder will be determined based upon the Company's acquired partnership interest in the then aggregate property values of the real estate partnership divided by the average market price of the Company's common stock (if converted prior to June 30, 2000 the lesser of $18.00 or the average market price of the Company's common stock will be used). At March 31, 1996, the Mandatory Convertible Participating Preferred Stock was convertible into approximately 1,523,619 shares of the Company's common stock. The Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holders of such stock into shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion rate of 1.6835 shares of common stock for each share of Convertible Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. During the first quarter of 1996, at the option of shareholders, a total of 14,600 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 24,376 common shares. The Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D, Series E, Series F, Series G, and Series H (collectively the "Cumulative Senior Preferred Stock") have general preference rights with respect to liquidation and quarterly distributions. With respect to the payment of dividends and amounts upon liquidation, the Convertible Preferred Stock (including the Mandatory Convertible Participating Preferred Stock) ranks junior to the Cumulative Senior Preferred Stock and any other shares of preferred stock of the Company ranking on a parity with or senior to the Cumulative Senior Preferred Stock. The Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior to the common stock, any additional class of common stock and any series of preferred stock expressly made junior to the Convertible Preferred Stock. The Mandatory Convertible Participating Preferred Stock has voting rights on a share for share basis as the common stock. In April 1996, in connection with the acquisition of limited partnership interests, the Company issued $58,955,000 (58,955 shares) of its Convertible Preferred Stock, Series CC (the "Series CC Preferred Stock"). The Series CC Preferred Stock ranks junior to the Company's Cumulative Senior Preferred Stock with respect to general preference rights and has a liquidation value of $1,000 per share. Other significant terms of the Series CC Preferred Stock include: (i) quarterly distributions equal to $32.50 per share, (ii) conversion, at anytime at the option of the holder, into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of 35.014 shares of common stock for each share of Series CC Preferred Stock, and (iii) on March 31, 2000 will automatically convert into common stock of the Company at the conversion price described above. Common stock ------------ During 1996, the Company issued shares of its common as follows: (i) 1,416,883 shares ($29,968,000) in connection with the mergers, (ii) 24,376 shares ($365,000) in connection with the conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock into common stock, and (iii) 63,498 shares ($625,000) in connection with exercise of stock options. The shares of common stock issued in connection with the mergers were issued at the prevailing market price at the time of issuance. Class B Common Stock -------------------- The Class B Common Stock will (i) not participate in distributions until the later to occur of funds from operations ("FFO") per Common Share as defined below, aggregating $1.80 during any period of four consecutive calendar quarters, or January 1, 2000; thereafter, the Class B Common Stock will participate in distributions (other than liquidating 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, (ii) not participate in liquidating distributions, (iii) not be entitled to vote (except as expressly required by California law) and (iv) 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) (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) 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: (i) plus depreciation and amortization (including the Company's pro-rata share of depreciation and amortization of unconsolidated equity interests and amortization of assets acquired in the Merger, including property management agreements and goodwill), and (ii) less FFO attributable to minority interest. 11 For these purposes, FFO per Common Share means FFO less preferred stock dividends (other than dividends on convertible preferred stock) 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) was $1.74 for the four consecutive calendar quarters ended March 31, 1996. Dividends --------- The dividend rate on the Series C Preferred Stock for the first quarter of 1996 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, and Thirty Year Constant Maturity Rate) multiplied by 110%. However, the dividend rate for any dividend period will not be less than 6.75% per annum nor greater than 10.75%. The Mandatory Convertible Participating Preferred Stock was issued in connection with the acquisition of limited partnership interests in a real estate limited partnership. Quarterly dividends on the Mandatory Convertible Participating Preferred Stock vary depending on operating results of the real estate facilities of the partnership. For the first eight quarters, dividends are equal to $390,000 plus the Company's acquired interest in property cash flows, as defined, in excess of a base amount of $45,000. Thereafter quarterly dividends will be equal to $390,000 plus the Company's acquired interest in property cash flows, as defined, in excess of a base amount of $525,000. The following summarizes dividends paid during the first quarter of 1996: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 ------------------------------------------- Distributions Per Share or Depositary Share Total Distributions -------------------- -------------------- Series A $ 0.625 $ 1,140,000 Series B $ 0.575 1,372,000 Series C $ 0.422 506,000 Series D $ 0.594 712,000 Series E $ 0.625 1,372,000 Series F $ 0.609 1,401,000 Series G $ 0.579 3,997,000 Series H $ 0.393 2,654,000 Convertible $ 0.516 1,186,000 Mandatory Convertible Participating $26.470 826,000 ------------------- 15,166,000 Common $ 0.220 15,748,000 ------------------- $30,914,000 =================== 12 9. Proposed Merger --------------- In March 1996, the Company and Storage Properties, Inc. ("SPI"), a publicly traded equity real estate investment trust agreed, subject to certain conditions, to merge. Upon the merger, each outstanding share of SPI common stock would be converted, at the election of the shareholders of SPI, into either shares of the Company's common stock with a market value of $7.31 or, with respect to up to 20% of the SPI common stock, $7.31 in cash. SPI has 3,348,167 outstanding shares of common stock and an estimated value of $24.5 million. The merger agreement is conditioned on, among other requirements, receipt of satisfactory fairness opinions by SPI and approval by the shareholders of SPI. The Company has an advisory agreement and a property management agreement with SPI. SPI owns seven mini-warehouses. 13 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OVERVIEW: Over the past year, the Company completed a number of transactions which have had and will continue to have significant impact to the Company. * From January 1, 1995 through March 31, 1996, the number of real estate facilities included in the Company's consolidated financial statements has increased from 387 facilities to 598 facilities. In addition, during the same period, principally as a result of the PSMI Merger (see below) the Company increased its ownership interest in unconsolidated real estate entities from those owning in aggregate 15 facilities to those owning in aggregate 467 facilities, * Since January 1, 1995, the Company completed four mergers with affiliated REITs, two in 1995 with an aggregate cost of $135.4 million and two at the end of March 1996 with an aggregate cost of $58.9 million, * On November 16, 1995, the Company completed the merger with Public Storage Management, Inc. ("PSMI") with an aggregate cost of $549.3 million. In the PSMI Merger, the Company acquired all the real estate operations of PSMI, including (i) general and limited partnership interests in 47 limited partnerships owning an aggregate of 286 mini-warehouses, (ii) shares of common stock in 16 REITs owning an aggregate of 218 mini-warehouses and 14 commercial properties, (iii) seven wholly-owned properties, (iv) all-inclusive deeds of trust secured by ten mini-warehouses, (v) property management contracts, exclusive of facilities owned by the Company, for 563 mini-warehouses and through ownership of 95% economic interest in a subsidiary, 24 commercial properties and (vi) a 95% economic interest in another subsidiary that currently sells locks and boxes in mini-warehouses operated by the Company. The PSMI Merger not only doubled the size of the Company and significantly expanded the Company's ownership interest in mini-warehouse facilities it also provided the following benefits: (i) the Company became a fully-integrated, self-advised and self-managed commercial real estate company with expertise in development, construction, acquisition, operation and leasing services, (ii) the Company is now able to expand its property holdings without a proportionate increase in advisory and property management fees, which would have resulted had its current advisory contract and management agreements remained in effect, (iii) conflicts of interest between the Company and its executive officers and directors who were also affiliated with PSMI were reduced, and (iv) the Company significantly increased it ownership interest in the real estate facilities operated under the "Public Storage" name. Results of Operations --------------------- Three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the three months ended March 31, 1995 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was $32,341,000 compared to $13,200,000 for the same period in 1995, representing an increase of $19,141,000. Net income allocable to common shareholders increased to $17,175,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 from $7,224,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995. The increases in net income and net income allocable to common shareholders were primarily the result of improved property operations, the acquisition of additional real estate facilities during 1996 and 1995, and the acquisition of additional partnership interests during 1996 and 1995. Net income per common share was $0.24 per share (based on weighted average shares outstanding of 71,666,000) for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to $0.24 per share (based on weighted average shares outstanding of 30,567,000) for the same period in 1995. PROPERTY OPERATIONS: Rental income and cost of operations presented on the consolidated statements of income reflect the operations of the 598 properties owned by the Company and the Consolidated Partnerships. The following table summarizes the operating results of these facilities: 14 For the Three Months Ended March 31, -------------------------------- 1996 1995 Change ------------------------------------------------ (dollar amounts in thousands) Rental income: Mini-warehouse........................ $58,744 $37,725 55.72% Business park......................... 4,965 4,249 16.85% ---------- ---------- ---------- 63,709 41,974 51.78% ---------- ---------- ---------- Cost of operations: (a) Mini-warehouse: Payroll, property taxes, etc..... 18,491 11,529 60.39% Property management fees......... - 2,217 (100.00)% Business park: Payroll, property taxes.......... 2,194 1,820 20.55% Property management fees......... - 241 (100.00)% ---------- ---------- ---------- 20,685 15,807 30.86% ---------- ---------- ---------- Net operating income: Mini-warehouse........................ 40,253 23,979 67.87% Business park......................... 2,771 2,188 26.65% ---------- ---------- ---------- $43,024 $26,167 64.42% ========== ========== ========== Number of facilities (at the end of the period): Mini-warehouse........................ 576 421 36.82% Business park......................... 22 16 37.50% (a) During 1995, the Company became self-managed with respect to its property operations and accordingly no longer incurs property management fees. The significant increase in property operations for the Company's mini-warehouses and business park facilities are principally due to the acquisition of additional facilities during 1996 and 1995. At March 31, 1996 the property operations consisted of the operating results of 598 facilities compared to 437 for the same period in 1995. For comparative purposes, a total of 373 mini-warehouse facilities (included in the above table) have been in the Company's portfolio throughout 1995 and 1996. The operating results (rental income less cost of operations) of these facilities improved 3.30% for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995. This increase is principally due to improve rental rates, as average realized monthly rent per square foot increased from $0.63 in 1995 to $0.65 in 1996. Weighted average occupancy levels for these 373 facilities remained stable at 88% for both 1995 and 1996. The increase in property operations with respect to the business park facilities is principally due to the acquisition of facilities during 1996 and 1995. Excluding such acquisitions, 15 business park facilities have been in the Company's portfolio since the beginning of 1993. The operating results (rental income less cost of operations) of these 15 facilities improved 2.64% for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995. This increase is principally due to improved rental rates, as average realized monthly rent per square foot increased from $0.72 in 1995, to $0.73 in 1996. Weighted average occupancy levels for these 15 facilities were 96% in 1995 and 97% in 1996. EQUITY IN EARNINGS OF REAL ESTATE ENTITIES: Equity in earnings of real estate entities was $4,611,000 and $199,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. For 1995, equity in earnings of real estate entities principally consists of earnings from partnerships which are now consolidated with the Company and, accordingly, are no longer included in equity in earnings of real estate entities. The 1996 earnings principally consists of earnings related to the interests acquired pursuant to the PSMI Merger. The Company currently has ownership interests in 46 limited partnerships and 14 REITs (collectively the "Unconsolidated Entities"). The Company's ownership interest in these entities ranges from 15% to 45%, but generally averages approximately 30%. Due to the Company's limited ownership interest and control of these entities, the Company does not consolidate the accounts of these entities for financial reporting purposes. 15 Similar to the Company, the Unconsolidated Entities generate substantially all of their income from their ownership of mini-warehouse facilities. In the aggregate, the Unconsolidated Entities own a total of 467 facilities, 454 of which are mini-warehouse facilities. The following summarizes combined operating data with respect to the Unconsolidated Entities for the three months ended March 31, 1996: Rental income......................................... $58,917,000 Total revenues........................................ 59,383,000 Cost of operations.................................... 22,164,000 Depreciation.......................................... 9,632,000 Net income............................................ 23,741,000 Equity in earnings of real estate entities for three months ended March 31, 1996 consists of the Company's pro rata share of earnings (including the Company's share of depreciation expense - $2,400,000) of the Unconsolidated Entities based upon the Company's ownership interest in each for the period. In addition, equity in earnings of real estate entities for 1996 includes amortization totaling $2,094,000 representing the amortization of the Company's cost basis over the underlying book value of the Company's equity interest in each of the entities. The Company has in the past, and may continue to seek to acquire in the future, real estate facilities owned by the Unconsolidated Entities. During 1996, the Company made several acquisitions of entities which were included in Unconsolidated Entities at December 31, 1995: (i) the Company acquired a significant interest in a partnership and as a result began to consolidate the accounts of the partnership as of January 1, 1996, (ii) on March 26, 1996, pursuant to mergers, the Company acquired the net assets of two REITs, and (iii) in April 1996, the Company acquired all of the limited partnership interest in two partnerships which as of April 1, 1996 will be consolidated with the Company. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS: In connection with the PSMI Merger, the Company acquired property management contracts, exclusive of facilities owned by the Company, for 563 mini-warehouses and through ownership of 95% economic interest in a subsidiary, 24 commercial properties. These facilities constitute all of the United States mini-warehouses and business parks doing business under the "Public Storage" name and all those in which the Company has an interest, which include all the facilities owned by the Consolidated Partnerships, Unconsolidated Entities, and 75 facilities owned by third parties in which the Company has no equity interest. The property management contracts generally provide for compensation equal to 6%, in the case of the mini-warehouses, and 5%, in the case of the business parks, of gross revenues of the facilities managed. Under the supervision of the property owners, the Company coordinates rental policies, rent collections, marketing activities, the purchase of equipment and supplies, maintenance activity, and the selection and engagement of vendors, suppliers and independent contractors. In addition, the Company assists and advises the property owners in establishing policies for the hire, discharge and supervision of employees for the operation of these facilities, including resident managers, assistant managers, relief managers and billing and maintenance personnel. During the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company's property management operations generated net operating income of $2,692,000 on revenues of $3,760,000 and expenses of $1,068,000. Because the Company has significant ownership interests in all but 74 of the facilities it manages, the revenues generated from its property management operations are generally predictable and are dependent upon the future growth of rental income for those facilities the Company manages. As noted above, the Company has in the past, and may continue to seek to acquire in the future, real estate facilities owned by the Unconsolidated Entities. Acquisitions of such facilities will have the affect of reducing management fee income with a corresponding reduction in the cost of property operations. 16 INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME: Interest and other income increased $1,862,000, to $2,887,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 from $1,025,000 for the same period in 1995. Interest and other income principally consists of interest earning on cash balances and interest related to mortgage notes receivable. The significant increase in interest income is primarily due to interest income on excess cash balances. From mid December 1995 through late January 1996, the Company, through two equity offerings, raised net proceeds of approximately $330 million. Due to the timing to invest these proceeds into real estate assets, cash balances in interest bearing accounts during the first quarter on average were approximately $110 million. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION: Depreciation and amortization expense has increased from $8,147,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 to $14,592,000 for the same period in 1996. These increases are principally due to the acquisition of additional real estate facilities during 1995 and 1996 combined with amortization of intangible assets acquired in connection with the PSMI Merger. Amortization expense with respect to intangible assets acquired in the PSMI Merger totaled $2,327,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 (none for the three months ended March 31, 1995). GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE: General and administrative expense was $1,361,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and $1,091,000 the same period in 1995. The Company has experienced and expects to continue to experience increased general and administrative costs during 1996 due to the following: (i) the growth in the size of the Company has resulted in increased expenses, (ii) the Company's property acquisition activities has continued to expand, resulting in certain additional costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of additional real estate facilities, and (iii) pursuant to the PSMI Merger, the Company has become self-advised, resulting in the Company internalizing management functions which previously was provided by the Adviser. However, offsetting the expected increases in general and administrative expenses will be the elimination of advisory fee expense. General and administrative costs for each year principally consist of state income taxes (for states in which the Company is a non-resident), investor relation expenses, and certain costs incurred in the acquisition and development of real estate facilities. ADVISORY FEE: During 1995, the Company's day-to-day operations were performed by an adviser for a contractual fee which during the first quarter of 1995 amounted to $1,610,000. Pursuant to the PSMI Merger, effective November 16, 1995, the Company became self-advised and as a result will no longer incur advisory fees. MINORITY INTEREST IN INCOME: Minority interest in income represents the income allocable to equity interests in the Consolidated Partnerships which are not owned by the Company. The minority interest in income was $2,339,000 in 1996 compared to $1,823,000 in 1995, representing an increase of $516,000. This increase is a result of the consolidation of partnerships (and corresponding increase in minority interest) during the first quarter of 1996 which were not consolidated during the same period in 1995 resulting in an increase of $777,000, partially offset by a $261,000 reduction in income allocable to minority interest relating to partnerships which were consolidated throughout each period. In determining income allocable to the minority interest for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, consolidated depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $2,901,000, and $2,773,000, respectively, was allocated to the minority interest. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- The Company has operated and intends to continue to operate in a self-sufficient manner without reliance on external sources of financing to fund its ongoing operating needs. The Company believes that funds internally generated from ongoing operations will continue to be sufficient to enable it to meet its operating expenses, capital improvements, debt service requirements and distributions to shareholders for the foreseeable future. Over the past three years, funds internally generated from ongoing operations were in excess of the Company's operating needs, allowing the Company to retain cash flow, which it used to invest in the acquisition of additional real estate investments or make optional principal repayments on debt. 17 Despite the Company's ability to retain a portion of its internally generated cash flow, the Company's growth strategies have required the Company to seek external financing. The Company has an unsecured $125.0 million revolving credit facility with a group of banks which it uses as a temporary source of acquisition financing. The Company, however, seeks to ultimately finance all acquisitions with permanent sources of capital. As a result, the Company has raised capital through the public issuance of both common and preferred stock which was used to repay borrowings and make additional investments in real estate assets. INTERNALLY GENERATED CASH FLOWS: The Company believes that important measures of its performance as well as its liquidity are cash provided by operations, funds from operations ("FFO") and the ability of these measures to fund the Company's operating requirements (i.e. capital improvements, principal payments on debt, and distribution requirements). Net cash provided by operations (as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) reflects the cash generated from the Company's business before distributions to various equity holders, including the preferred shareholders, capital expenditures or mandatory principal payments on debt. Net cash provided by operations has increased from $23,130,000 to $53,742,000 for the three months ended March 31 1995 and 1996, respectively The following table summarizes the Company's ability to pay the minority interests' distributions, its dividends to the preferred shareholders and capital improvements to maintain the facilities through the use of cash provided by operating activities. The remaining cash flow is available to the Company to make both scheduled and optional principal payments on debt, pay distributions to common shareholders and for reinvestment.

(15,748,000) (6,458,000) ------------- ------------ Funds available for principal payments on debt and investment $15,267,000 $5,374,000 ============= ============ See the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 for additional information regarding the Company's investing and financing activities. 18 FFO increased to $48,502,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to $18,534,000 for the same period in 1995. FFO applicable to the common shareholders (after deducting preferred stock dividends) increased to $33,336,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to $12,558,000 for the same period in 1995. FFO is used by many financial analysts in evaluating REITs. The Company defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) before (i) gain (loss) on disposition of real estate, adjusted as follows: (i) plus depreciation and amortization, and (ii) less FFO attributable to minority interest. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. ("NAREIT") definition of FFO does not specifically address the treatment of minority interest in the determination of FFO. In the case of the Company, FFO represents amounts attributable to its shareholders after deducting amounts attributable to the minority interests. FFO does not take into consideration scheduled principal payments on debt, capital improvements, distributions and other obligations of the Company. Accordingly, FFO is a supplemental performance measure and is not a substitute for the Company's cash flow or net income (as discussed above) as a measure of the Company's liquidity or operating performance. The Company accounts for the Unconsolidated Entities using the equity method of accounting, and accordingly, earnings are recognized based upon the Company's economic interest in each of the partnerships and REITs. Provisions of the agreements of these partnerships and REITs provide for the payment of preferred cash distributions to other investors (until certain specified amounts have been paid) without regard to the pro rata interest of all investors in current earnings. As a result, cash distributions to be paid to the Company for a period of time will be less than the Company's FFO, as defined, from these entities (distributable FFO to the Company was approximately $4.7 million less than the FFO recognized by the Company). Preferred cash distributions paid to other investors during each period have the effect of increasing the Company's economic interest in each of the respective entities and reducing the amount of future preference payments which must be paid to other investors before cash distributions will be shared on a pro rata basis with respect to each investor's actual interest. At March 31, 1996, the aggregate future preference payments to other investors is approximately $114.7 million and is expected to be paid over approximately 15 years, with approximately 50% of the amount being paid over the next 3.5 years. RETENTION OF OPERATING CASH FLOWS: Operating as a REIT, the Company's ability to retain cash flow for reinvestment is restrictive. In order for the Company to maintain its REIT status, a substantial portion of its operating cash flows must be used to make distributions to its shareholders (see "REIT status" below). Remaining cash flows must then be sufficient to fund necessary capital improvements and scheduled debt service requirements. Accordingly, the Company's ability to be self-sufficient is predicated on its ability to generate sufficient operating cash flows to satisfy its REIT distribution requirements, capital improvement requirements, scheduled debt service requirements, and provide funds for additional investments. Over the past four years, the Company's distribution policy has enabled it to retain significant funds (after capital improvements) to make additional investments and debt reductions. During first quarter of 1996 and 1995, the Company distributed to common shareholders approximately 48% and 55% of its FFO available to common shareholders, respectively, allowing it to retain approximately $15.3 million and $5.4 million, respectively after satisfying its capital improvements and preferred stock dividend requirements. DISTRIBUTIONS REQUIREMENTS: During the first quarter of 1996, the Company paid dividends totaling $13,154,000 to the holders of the Company's Senior Preferred Stock, $2,012,000 to the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock, and $15,748,000 to the holders of Common Stock. Dividends with respect to the Senior Preferred Stock include pro-rated amounts for securities issued during 1996. In January 1996, the Company issued approximately $163.2 million of additional Senior Preferred Stock (8.45% Series H Preferred Stock). The Company estimates that the distribution requirements for fiscal 1996 with respect to Senior Preferred Stock (including the Senior Preferred Stock issued in January 1996) and the Convertible Preferred Stock to be approximately $63.5 million. 19 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT REQUIREMENTS: During 1996, the Company has budgeted approximately $14.1 million for capital improvements ($10.6 million for its mini-warehouse and $3.5 million for its business park facilities). The minority interests' share of the budgeted capital improvements is approximately $2.8 million. During the first three months of 1996, the Company incurred capital improvements of approximately $2.8 million. During 1995, the Company commenced a program to enhance its visual icon and modernize the appearance of its mini-warehouse facilities, including modernization of signs, paint color schemes, and rental offices. Included in the 1996 capital improvement budget is approximately $4.0 million with respect to these expenditures. DEBT SERVICE REQUIREMENTS: The Company does not believe it has any significant refinancing risks with respect to its mortgage debt and nominal interest rate risks associated with its variable rate mortgage debt. The Company uses its $125.0 million of bank credit facility (all of which was unused as of May 14, 1996) primarily to fund acquisitions and provide financial flexibility and liquidity. The credit facility currently bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.00%. At March 31, 1996, the Company had total outstanding borrowings of approximately $120.8 million. During January 1996, the Company retired early approximately $36.4 million of debt with the proceeds of a preferred stock offering. Approximate principal maturities of notes payable at March 31, 1996 are as follows: Mortgage Debt --------------------------- 7.08% Unsecured Variable Senior Notes Fixed Rate Rate Total ----------------- ------------- ---------- ----------- (in thousands) 1996 (remainder of).......... $5,750 $4,358 $ 13 $10,121 1997......................... 6,500 6,105 804 13,409 1998......................... 7,250 8,006 - 15,256 1999 ........................ 8,000 6,467 - 14,467 2000......................... 8,750 2,707 - 11,457 Thereafter................... 29,250 26,879 - 56,129 -------- -------- ------- ---------- $65,500 $54,522 $817 $120,839 ======== ======== ======= ========== EXTERNAL FINANCING: The Company intends to continue to expand its asset and capital base through the acquisition of real estate assets and interests in real estate assets from both unaffiliated and affiliated parties through direct purchases, mergers, tender offers or other transactions. The Company expects to fund these transactions with internally generated retained cash flows and borrowings under its $125.0 million credit facility. The Company intends to repay amounts borrowed under the credit facility from undistributed operating cash flow or, as market conditions permit and are determined to be advantageous, from the public or private placement of securities. In January 1996, the Company issued $163.2 million of its Series H Preferred Stock. a portion of the proceeds have been used to make repay debt and make additional real estate investments. At March 31, 1995, the Company had approximately $65 million of remaining proceeds. In April 1996, the Company acquired all of the limited partnership interest in two partnerships in which the Company had previously acquired the general partnership interests. These limited partnership interest were acquired from an institutional investor in exchange for $58,955,000 of the Company's Convertible Preferred Stock, Series CC ("Series CC"). 20 The Company believes that its size and financial flexibility enable it to access capital for growth when appropriate. The Company's financial profile is characterized by a low level of debt to total capitalization, increasing net income, increasing cash flow from operations, and a conservative dividend payout ratio with respect to the common stock. The Company's credit ratings on its Senior Preferred Stock were recently upgraded by each of the three major credit agencies (Baa2 by Moody's and BBB+ by Standard and Poors and Duff & Phelps). The Company's portfolio of real estate facilities remains substantially unencumbered. At March 31, 1996, the Company had mortgage debt outstanding of $55.3 million and had consolidated real estate facilities with a book value of $1.4 billion. The Company, however, has been adverse to financing its acquisitions with debt and generally will only increase its mortgage borrowing through the assumption of pre-existing debt on acquired real estate facilities. Over the past three years the Company has funded substantially all of its acquisitions with permanent capital (both common and preferred stock). Unlike many other real estate companies, the Company has elected to use preferred stock despite the fact that the coupon rates of its preferred stock exceeds current rates on conventional debt. The Company has chosen this route for the following reasons: (i) the Company's perpetual preferred stock has no sinking fund requirements, or maturity date and does not require redemption, all of which eliminate any future refinancing risks, (ii) preferred stock allows the Company to leverage the common stock without the attendant interest rate or refinancing risks of debt, and (iii) dividends on the preferred stock can be applied to the Company's REIT distributions requirements, which have helped the Company to satisfy these requirements. COMPLETED AND PROPOSED MERGERS: On March 26, 1996, the Company completed the mergers with Public Storage Properties IX, Inc. ("Properties 9") and PS Business Parks, Inc. ("PSBP"). In the mergers, the Company issued an aggregate of 1.4 million shares of Common Stock and paid additional $12.6 million in cash. Properties 9 owned and operated 15 properties: 14 mini-warehouses (881,000 square feet) and one business parks (72,000 square feet). PSBP owned and operated a single business park (173,000 square feet). In March 1996, the Company and Storage Properties, Inc. ("SPI"), a publicly traded equity real estate investment trust agreed, subject to certain conditions, to merge. Upon the merger, each outstanding share of SPI common stock would be converted, at the election of the shareholders of SPI, into either shares of the Company's common stock with a market value of $7.31 or, with respect to up to 20% of the SPI common stock, $7.31 in cash. SPI has 3,348,167 outstanding shares of common stock and an estimated value of $24.5 million. The merger agreement is conditioned on, among other requirements, receipt of satisfactory fairness opinions by SPI and approval by the shareholders of SPI. The Company has an advisory agreement and a property management agreement with SPI. SPI owns seven mini-warehouses (371,465 square feet). DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES: Historically, the Company only acquired interests in existing/operating real estate facilities. During 1995, the Company began the development of three mini-warehouse facilities, one of which began operations in 1995. The Company currently has plans to develop an additional 14 mini-warehouses in various locations at an estimated cost of approximately $60.0 million. The Company is evaluating the feasibility of developing additional mini-warehouses in selected markets in which there are few, if any, facilities to acquire at attractive prices and where the scarcity of other undeveloped parcels of land or other impediments to development make it difficult to construct additional competing facilities. Generally the construction period takes 9 months followed by a 18-24 month fill-up process until the newly constructed facility reaches a stabilized occupancy level. Due to the timing of the employment of the capital to construct the facilities and the relatively long "fill-up" period until the facilities reach a stabilized occupancy level, the Company believes that its development plans may create earnings dilution in the short-term. REIT STATUS: The Company believes that it has operated, and intends 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 it will at all times so qualify. To the extent that the Company continues to qualify as a REIT, it will not be taxed, with certain limited exceptions, on the taxable income that is distributed to its shareholders. 21 As a REIT, the Company is not taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders provided that at least 95% of its taxable income is so distributed prior to filing of the Company's tax return. The Company has satisfied the REIT distribution requirement since 1980. In addition to certain asset tests, the Company must meet several annual gross income tests to retain its REIT qualification. Under the 95% gross income test, the Company must derive at least 95% of its total gross income from specified classes of income related to real property, dividends, interest or gains from the sale or other distribution of stock or other securities that do not constitute "dealer property." If the Company fails to meet the 95% test during any taxable year, its REIT status would terminate for that year and future years unless it qualifies for the "good cause" exception. Generally, if the Company fails the 95% test but still retains its qualification as a REIT under the "good cause" exception, it would be subject to a 100% excise tax on the amount of the excess nonqualifying income multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which would be the Company's taxable income (computed without its distribution deduction) and the denominator of which would be the Company's gross income from all sources. This excise tax would have the general effect of causing the Company to pay all net profits generated from this excess nonqualifying income to the Internal Revenue Service. Subsequent to the PSMI Merger, the Company assumed and is performing property management activities for the various partnerships and REITs in which the Company has an interest. The Company receives property management fees from such partnerships, REITs and other owners in exchange for the performance of such management activities. The gross income received by the Company from these property management activities with respect to the facilities owned by third party entities and REITs in which the Company has an ownership interest will be treated as income not qualifying under the 95% test. A portion of the gross income (representing a pro rata amount allocated to partnership interests not owed by the Company) received by the Company from property management activities with respect to the facilities owned by partnerships in which the Company has an ownership interest will also be treated as income not qualifying under the 95% test. At the time of the PSMI Merger, if there were no change in current revenues of the Company and PSMI and the Company took no action to reduce its nonqualifying income, the Company estimated it would not satisfy the 95% gross income test for 1996. However, the percentage of nonqualifying income may be reduced in a variety of ways: (i) through the prepayment of management fees, (ii) through increase in overall gross income that result from increases in qualifying rents will reduce the percentage of nonqualifying income (i.e. the acquisition of additional real estate investments which generate qualifying rents), and (iii) through the acquisition of properties currently managed by the Company, thereby the management fees received by the Company would cease to be nonqualifying income. In order to reduce the amount of nonqualifying income the Company would earn in 1996, certain entities prepaid during 1995 to the Company a portion of the management fees that the Company otherwise would have received in 1996 discounted for early payment. The amount prepaid during 1995 was approximately $4.5 million. In addition, subsequent to the PSMI Merger, the Company publicly issued preferred stock raising net offering proceeds of approximately $330.1 million. The net proceeds have been used to repay debt and acquire additional real estate investments including interests in properties managed by the Company. The Company believes that the prepayment of management fees combined with the acquisition of additional real estate investments will enable the Company to meet the 95% test for 1996 and subsequent years. 22 PART II.
