    Public Storage Reports Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2007

GLENDALE,  California - Public  Storage  (NYSE:PSA)  announced  today  operating
results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007.

OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2007:
- -------------------------------------------------------------

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $77,104,000  compared to
net income of $128,862,000 for the same period in 2006,  representing a decrease
of $51,758,000. This decrease is primarily due to increased amortization expense
totaling  $70.9 million due to the  amortization  of certain  intangible  assets
acquired in our merger with Shurgard Storage Centers, Inc.  ("Shurgard"),  which
closed on August  22,  2006,  combined  with an  increase  of $35.7  million  in
depreciation  expense related to facilities acquired in the merger. In addition,
during the three  months  ended June 30,  2007,  our general and  administrative
expense increased  significantly as we incurred $9.6 million in expenses related
to our proposed  offering of shares in our European business and $2.0 million of
expenses  related to our  reorganization  as a Maryland  real estate  investment
trust (a "Maryland REIT").

The  negative  impacts to our net  income  from the above  mentioned  items were
partially offset by improved operations from our Same Store group of facilities,
continued  growth in operations from our newly  developed and recently  expanded
facilities,  as well as continued growth in our recently  acquired  self-storage
facilities including the facilities acquired in the merger with Shurgard.

Our Same Store net operating income, before depreciation  expense,  increased by
approximately  $2,224,000  to  $151,927,000,  or  1.5%,  as a  result  of a 1.7%
improvement  in  revenues  partially  offset  by a  2.1%  increase  in  cost  of
operations.  Aggregate net operating income for our newly developed and recently
expanded and acquired facilities (other than the Shurgard facilities)  increased
by approximately  $2,968,000 to $26,102,000 compared to the same period in 2006.
This increase was largely due to the impact of facilities acquired in 2005, 2006
and 2007,  combined with continued  fill-up of our newly developed and expansion
facilities.  For those facilities that were acquired in the Shurgard merger, net
operating  income was  approximately  $83,821,000 for the quarter ended June 30,
2007. Our expanded  media  advertising,  along with our  aggressive  pricing and
promotional  discount  programs,   increased  our  entire  domestic  portfolio's
(including the Shurgard  portfolio for all periods  presented) average occupancy
to 89.7% for the second  quarter  2007  compared to 88.6% last year and 87.5% in
the first quarter 2007. The overall  occupancy at the end of June 2007 was 90.6%
compared to 89.3% last year.

For the three months ended June 30, 2007,  we had a net income  allocable to our
common  shareholders  (after  allocating  net income to our preferred and equity
shareholders)  of  $14,433,000  or $0.08 per  common  share on a  diluted  basis
compared to income of  $71,130,000  or $0.55 per common share on a diluted basis
for the same period in 2006, representing a decrease of $56,697,000 or $0.47 per
diluted common share, or 84.6%.  The decreases in net income allocable to common
shareholders on an aggregate and per-share basis are due primarily to the impact
of the factors described above, combined with an increase in income allocated to
preferred shareholders, as described below.

For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we allocated  $57,315,000 and
$52,376,000 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  issued  preferred
securities.

Weighted  average  diluted shares  increased to 170,213,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2007 from  129,062,000  for the three months ended June 30, 2006.
The increase in weighted average diluted shares is due primarily to the issuance
of approximately 38.9 million shares in the merger with Shurgard, as well as the
exercise of employee stock options assumed in the merger with Shurgard.

                                       1



OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007:
- ---------------------------------------------------------

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was  $136,882,000  compared to
$243,078,000   for  the  same  period  in  2006,   representing  a  decrease  of
$106,196,000.  This decrease is primarily due to increased  amortization expense
totaling  $156.7 million due to the  amortization of certain  intangible  assets
acquired in our merger with Shurgard  combined with an increase of $71.4 million
in  depreciation  expense  related to  facilities  acquired  in the  merger.  In
addition,   during  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  2007,  our  general  and
administrative  expense  increased  significantly as we incurred $9.6 million in
expenses  related to our proposed  offering of shares in our European  business,
$2.0 million of expenses related to our  reorganization  as a Maryland REIT, and
$5.3 million in integration expenses related to the merger.

These items were  partially  offset by improved  operations  from our Same Store
group of facilities, continued growth in operations from our newly developed and
recently  expanded  facilities  along  with  continued  growth  in our  recently
acquired  self-storage   facilities  (including  the  facilities  acquired  from
Shurgard).

Same Store net  operating  income,  before  depreciation  expense,  increased by
$6,578,000  to  $299,776,000,  or 2.2%,  as a result  of a 2.3%  improvement  in
revenues  partially  offset by a 2.4% increase in cost of operations.  Aggregate
net  operating   income  for  our  newly   developed,   acquired  and  expansion
self-storage   facilities  (excluding  the  Shurgard  facilities)  increased  by
approximately $7,722,000 to $51,005,000.  We earned an aggregate of $160,930,000
in net operating income with respect to the facilities acquired from Shurgard.

Net income allocable to our common  shareholders (after allocating net income to
our preferred and equity shareholders) was $10,079,000 or $0.06 per common share
on a  diluted  basis  for the  six  months  ended  June  30,  2007  compared  to
$133,375,000 or $1.03 per common share on a diluted basis for the same period in
2006,  representing a decrease of $0.97 per common share, or 94.2%. The decrease
in net income  allocable to common  shareholders and earnings per common diluted
share are due primarily to the impact of the factors  described above,  combined
with an increase in income  allocated  to preferred  shareholders,  as described
below.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we allocated  $116,091,000  and
$98,991,000 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.

Weighted  average  diluted shares  increased to  170,275,000  for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 from 129,037,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The
increase in weighted  average diluted shares is due primarily to the issuance of
approximately  38.9 million shares in the merger with  Shurgard,  as well as the
exercise of employee stock options assumed in the merger with Shurgard.

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

For the  three  months  ended  June 30,  2007,  funds  from  operations  ("FFO")
increased to $1.10 per common share on a diluted  basis as compared to $0.99 per
common share for the same period in 2006,  representing an increase of $0.11 per
common share, or 11.1%. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, FFO increased to
$2.15 per common share on a diluted  basis as compared to $1.93 per common share
for same period in 2006,  representing an increase of $0.22 per common share, or
11.4%.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, FFO has been impacted
as a result of (i) additional  expenses  incurred in connection  with the merger
with  Shurgard   included  in  general  and   administrative   expense  totaling
approximately  $1.3  million and $5.3 million for the three and six months ended
June 30,  2007,  respectively,  as  compared to $1.1  million and $2.2  million,
respectively,  for the same periods in 2006, (ii) net foreign currency  exchange
gains of  approximately  $5.6  million  and $10.6  million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, (iii) expenses related to our proposed
offering of shares in our European  business totaling $9.6 million for the three
months  ended  June  30,  2007,   (iv)  additional   expenses   related  to  our
reorganization  as a Maryland REIT totaling  approximately  $2.0 million for the
three  months  ended June 30,  2007,  (v) an  increase  in  estimated  insurance
proceeds with respect to damage caused by Hurricane Katrina of $2.7 million, and
(vi) our pro rata share of PS Business Parks,  Inc.'s  application of EITF Topic
D-42 in connection with the redemption of preferred securities totaling $729,000
in the  three and six  months  ended  June 30,  2006 and  included  in equity in
earnings of real estate entities.

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-SAME STORE FACILITIES:
- ------------------------------------------

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.

As of June 30, 2007, our "Same Store"  portfolio  consists of 1,316  facilities,
which  represents  the  facilities  that we have  consolidated  in our financial
statements and have been operating at a stabilized  basis  throughout 2005, 2006
and first six months of 2007.

The Same Store facilities contain approximately 77.8 million net rentable square
feet,  representing  approximately 63% of the aggregate net rentable square feet
in the United  States of our  consolidated  self-storage  portfolio  at June 30,
2007. The following  table  summarizes the historical  operating  results of the
Same Store facilities:

  In place annual rent per occupied square foot (g)                                          $    13.69    $    13.33      2.7%
Total net rentable square feet (in thousands).....                                               77,782        77,782       -



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"  is a  non-GAAP
       (generally  accepted  accounting   principles)   financial  measure  that
       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.  NOI is not a substitute  for net operating
       income after depreciation in evaluating our 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 annualizing
       the result of 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 provides a better measure of 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.

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.

MERGER WITH SHURGARD:
- ---------------------

On August 22, 2006, we completed the merger with Shurgard Storage Centers,  Inc.
Included in general and  administrative  expense are costs related to completing
the  integration  of the two  companies of  approximately  $1.3 million and $5.3
million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively.  Similar
costs  relating to pursuing  the merger  totaling  $1.1 million and $2.2 million
were incurred in the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.  We
do not expect there will be further merger integration costs.

SHURGARD EUROPE:
- ----------------

We own and operate 103  wholly-owned  European  facilitates with 5.6 million net
rentable  square  feet along with a 20%  interest  in two joint  ventures  which
collectively  own 65 European  properties  with 3.2 million net rentable  square
feet.  The two joint ventures  collectively  had  approximately  $327 million of
outstanding  debt  at  June  30,  2007,  which  is  included  in  our  condensed
consolidated financial statements.

At  June  30,  2007,  one of the  joint  ventures  had  seven  facilities  under
construction  (358,000 net rentable square feet),  with total estimated costs of
approximately $75 million,  of which approximately $45 million had been incurred
as of June 30,  2007.  We also  have  seven  facilities,  and one  redevelopment
project of an existing facility, in development with an aggregate of 407,000 net
rentable square feet.  Total  estimated  costs for these  projects,  aggregating
approximately  $64  million  (approximately  $4 million  incurred as of June 30,
2007),  will be funded by us. The development of these  facilities is subject to
various risks and contingencies.

During the second quarter of 2007, we completed the  development of one facility
in Denmark at a total cost of $8 million, adding 50,000 net rentable square feet
to the portfolio.

                                       5


During the second  quarter of 2007,  a share  offering  of  Shurgard  Europe was
initiated to be listed on Eurolist of EuronextTM Brussels. Due to adverse market
conditions,  this offering was withdrawn on June 21, 2007.  There is no estimate
as to when or if a future  offering  may  occur.  We  incurred  $9.6  million in
expenses related to our proposed offering of shares which is included in general
and administrative expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.

As previously disclosed in January 2007, we filed an arbitration action with our
joint venture  partner  related to our intention to terminate the joint ventures
early.  As part of our efforts to resolve this  dispute,  we had entered into an
agreement  to exchange  their  interest in the joint  ventures for shares in the
proposed  public  company;  however,  because the offering  has been  withdrawn,
Shurgard Europe will continue to pursue its arbitration action.

DEVELOPMENT AND ASSET ACQUISITION ACTIVITIES IN THE UNITED STATES:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------

During the quarter, we acquired a self-storage facility in California containing
53,000 net rentable square feet, for approximately $6.3 million and have entered
into agreements to acquire five additional  facilities in California and Georgia
with net rentable  square feet of 395,000,  for an aggregate  purchase  price of
approximately $44 million. These transactions are expected to close in the third
quarter.

At June 30, 2007, we had 41 projects  (1,786,000 net additional  rentable square
feet) that were either under construction or were expected to begin construction
generally  within the next year, which expand existing  self-storage  facilities
and enhance  their visual  appeal for a total  estimated  cost of $140  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.

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

On July 2, 2007, we issued  6,900,000  depositary  shares,  with each depositary
share  representing  1/1,000 of a 7.0% Cumulative  Preferred Share of Beneficial
Interest, Series N, for aggregate gross proceeds of $172.5 million. A portion of
the net proceeds  from this  offering were used to repay a portion of borrowings
under our  revolving  credit  facility  and the  remainder  will be used to make
additional  investments  in  self-storage   facilities  and  for  other  general
corporate purposes.

During  September  2007,  we have the  opportunity  to redeem our 7.50% Series V
preferred  stock ($172.5  million).  The  potential  redemption of this security
would result in EITF Topic D-42  allocations of  approximately $6 million in the
third quarter of 2007. No decision has been made to redeem these securities.

SHARE REPURCHASES:
- ------------------

Our Board of Trustees 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
August 2, 2007,  we have  repurchased  a total of  22,201,720  shares (none from
January 1, 2006 through  August 2, 2007) of common stock at an aggregate cost of
approximately $567.2 million.

DISTRIBUTIONS DECLARED:
- -----------------------

On August 2, 2007 the Board of  Trustees  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 September 27, 2007 to shareholders
of record as of September 12, 2007.

SECOND QUARTER CONFERENCE CALL:

(a)  Depreciation and amortization increased  substantially,  principally due to
     $70,928,000 and $156,712,000 in amortization of intangibles acquired in the
     merger  with  Shurgard  for the three and six months  ended June 30,  2007,
     respectively, as well as $35,700,000 and $71,400,000 in depreciation of the
     buildings  acquired  in the  merger  with  Shurgard  for the same  periods.
     Amortization of the intangible  assets acquired in the merger with Shurgard
     is expected to be  approximately  $51,994,000  in the third quarter of 2007
     and $36,938,000 in the fourth quarter of 2007.

                                       8



(b)  Included in general and  administrative  expense are merger  related  costs
     totaling  $1.3 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30,
     2007 and 2006, respectively,  and $5.3 million and $2.2 million for the six
     months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Also included in general
     and  administrative  expense for the three  months  ended June 30, 2007 are
     $9.6 million in expenses associated with our proposed offering of shares in
     our  European  business,  and  $2.0  million  in  expenses  related  to our
     reorganization as a Maryland REIT.

(c)  During 2005,  several of our  self-storage  facilities  were  significantly
     damaged by  Hurricane  Katrina.  As a result,  a loss was  recorded in 2005
     based on the excess of the net book value of the  damaged  facilities  over
     the estimated insurance proceeds that we would receive.

Shurgard Domestic Same Store Selected Operating Data
- ----------------------------------------------------

The Shurgard Domestic Same Store pool of 344 facilities are all stabilized since
January 1, 2005 and will therefore provide meaningful comparative data for 2005,
2006 and first six months of 2007. Previously,  the Shurgard Domestic Same Store
Pool  included  355  facilities,  which has now been  reduced for 11  facilities
which,  effective  May 24, 2007,  were no longer  consolidated  in our operating
results.  After May 24, 2007, our pro rata share of the net operating results of
these 11  facilities  is  presented as a component of Equity in Earnings of Real
Estate Entities,  and our net investment in these properties is reflected on our
balance sheet as Investment in Real Estate Entities.

The operating data  presented in the table below  reflects the  historical  data
from  January  1, 2006  through  June 30,  2006,  the  period  for which the 344
facilities  were operated under Shurgard  combined with the historical data from
January 1, 2007 through June 30, 2007, the period operated under Public Storage.

     amounts for the period  January 1, 2007  through June 30, 2007 are included
     in our consolidated operating results.

(b)  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. These amounts presented herein will
     not necessarily compare to amounts previously  presented by Shurgard in its
     public  reporting  due to  differences  in  classification  of revenues and
     expenses,  including  tenant  reinsurance,  retail  sales and truck  rental
     activities  which are  included on our income  statement  under  "ancillary
     operations"  but were  previously  presented  by Shurgard  as  self-storage
     revenue and operating expenses.

(c)  Net  operating  income  (before   depreciation)  or  "NOI"  is  a  non-GAAP
     (generally accepted accounting  principles) financial measure that 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.  NOI is not a substitute for net operating income after
     depreciation  in evaluating  our  operating  results.  Depreciation  is not
     presented herein because it is not comparable during the period owned by us
     and during the period owned by Shurgard,  due to differing historical costs
     and depreciable lives.

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

(e)  Realized  annual rent per occupied  square foot is computed by  annualizing
     the result of  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.

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

(g)  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 provides a better measure of 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.

Shurgard European Same Store Selected Operating Data
- ----------------------------------------------------

In the merger with  Shurgard,  we acquired 103  wholly-owned  facilities  and an
interest in 57 facilities  owned by affiliated  joint ventures  located in seven
European countries. The operating data presented in the table below reflects the
historical  data for the Same Store  portfolio  in Europe  from  January 1, 2006
through June 30, 2006, the period for which the  facilities  were operated under
Shurgard combined with the historical data from January 1, 2007 through June 30,
2007, the period operated under Public Storage.

(a)  Operating data reflects the operations of these  facilities  without regard

(b)  Amounts for the quarter and six months,  respectively,  ended June 30, 2006

     six months, respectively,  ended June 30, 2007. Amounts for the quarter and

     average  exchange  rates in effect for each period as denoted more fully in
     Note 2 to our  financial  statements,  "Summary of  Significant  Accounting
     Policies."  The majority of our  operations  are  denominated  in Euros and
     British  Pounds.  The Euro was  translated  at an average  exchange rate of
     approximately 1.348 and 1.329, respectively, in US Dollars per Euro for the

     1.969, respectively,  in US Dollars per British Pound for the three and six
     months ended June 30, 2007, respectively.

(a)  Funds from operations ("FFO") is a term defined by the National Association
     of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT").  FFO is a non-GAAP  (generally
     accepted accounting principles) financial measure. FFO 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,  distributions,  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.

(a)  Funds from operations ("FFO") is a term defined by the National Association
     of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT").  FFO is a non-GAAP  (generally
     accepted accounting principles) financial measure. FFO 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,  distributions,  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)  Capital expenditures excludes  approximately  $3,600,000 for the six months
     ended June 30,  2007,  of costs  incurred  to  re-brand  the U.S.  Shurgard
     facilities to the "Public  Storage"  name,  which  principally  consists of
     permanent signage.

(c)  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, 3) income allocation to preferred equity
     holders in accordance with EITF Topic D-42, less capital  expenditures  and
     any gain or loss on foreign exchange or from derivatives.  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, 2005  through June 30, 2007,  or because we acquired
     these facilities from third parties after December 31, 2004.
