Exhibit 99.1 UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION On March 31, 2008, Public Storage entered into an agreement with the New York Common Retirement Fund ("NYCRF") whereby NYCRF acquired a 51% interest in Public Storage's Shurgard Europe operations for approximately (euro)383.2 million ($605.6 million), plus an adjustment for operating results of Shurgard Europe between December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008. NYCRF's acquisition, referred to hereinafter as the "Transaction," was completed on March 31, 2008. Shurgard Europe held substantially all of Public Storage's operations in Europe, except for a single property located in the United Kingdom which Public Storage continues to wholly own. Public Storage will own the remaining 49% interest and is the managing member of Shurgard European Holdings LLC, a joint venture formed to own Shurgard Europe's operations ("the Joint Venture"). The Joint Venture includes Shurgard Europe's 20% equity interest in two existing ventures which are the subject of a previously disclosed arbitration. If the remaining interests in those ventures can be acquired, they may be incorporated into the newly-formed joint venture. In connection with the Transaction, the intercompany debt owed by Shurgard Europe to Public Storage was modified to (i) fix the interest rate at 7.5% per year, (ii) adjust the outstanding balance to (euro)391 million (approximately $620 million) as of March 31, 2008, and (iii) modify the term of the debt to one year with an additional one year extension. In addition, Public Storage is committed to provide additional loans to Shurgard Europe, under the same terms and conditions, up to an additional (euro)305 million to fund Shurgard Europe's obligations to repay existing third-party indebtedness owed by the two previously mentioned ventures and the possible acquisition of the remaining interest in those two ventures. Shurgard Europe intends to repay all of its related-party debt to Public Storage through the issuance of third-party debt as soon as market conditions permit, but no later than March 31, 2010. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2007 has been prepared as if the Transaction occurred on December 31, 2007. As a result of the Transaction, Public Storage will begin to account for its investment in Shurgard Europe under the equity method, accordingly, Shurgard Europe's accounts will no longer be consolidated with Public Storage's. Pro forma adjustments have been made to the historical condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2007 to reflect the de-consolidation of Shurgard Europe's accounts, the gain to be recorded upon consumation of the Transaction, and the use of the equity method to account for Public Storage's remaining 49% interest in Shurgard Europe. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2007 has been prepared as if the Transaction occurred on January 1, 2007. Pro forma adjustments have been made to the historical condensed consolidated income statement for the year ended December 31, 2007 to reflect the de-consolidation of Shurgard Europe's accounts, the Transaction and the use of the equity method to account for Public Storage's remaining 49% interest in Shurgard Europe. In addition, pro forma adjustments have been made to reflect interest income related to the intercompany loans due from Shurgard Europe to Public Storage and license fees payable by Shurgard Europe to Public Storage pursuant to a contract. 1 The pro forma adjustments do not reflect the impact of changes in exchange rates, principally of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Euro, through the transaction date of March 31, 2008. The income statement reflects the average exchange rate of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Euro of 1.370 in the year ended December 31, 2007, while the December 31, 2007 balance sheet reflects the exchange rate of 1.472 at December 31, 2007. The estimated gain on sale of approximately $307,704,000, and the $25,533,000 realized exchange gain reflected in the December 31, 2007 pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet does not include the impact of activities and other items, including changes in exchange rates, recognized in the period from December 31, 2007 through the date of consummation of the Transaction of March 31, 2008 (including the aforementioned contractual adjustment, which has not been determined, to the proceeds for the operating results of Shurgard Europe between December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008). The gain to actually be recorded at March 31, 2008 has not yet been determined, and could be substantially different. The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and on certain assumptions as set forth in the accompanying notes to the pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements that we believe are reasonable in the circumstances. The actual amounts could differ materially from these amounts. In addition, the pro forma condensed consolidated financial information does not reflect changes that may occur as a result of activities subsequent to the Transaction. The pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of Public Storage, which are included in Pubic Storage's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You can find this report at the Securities and Exchange Commission's website at http//www.sec.gov. The following pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what Public Storage's results of operations would actually have been if the Transaction had in fact occurred as of January 1, 2007 or to project Public Storage's results of operations for any future date or period. We cannot assure you that the assumptions used in the preparation of the pro forma financial information will prove to be correct. 2 PUBLIC STORAGE PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET December 31, 2007 (Unaudited) (Amounts in thousands, except per share data) Public Storage Receipt of De - Allocate Public Storage Historical Proceeds Consolidation Proceeds (Pro Forma) ---------- -------- ------------- -------- ----------- (Note 1) (Note 2) (Note 3) ASSETS Cash and cash equivalents.................... $ 245,444 $ 602,127 $ (31,602) $ - $ 815,969 Operating real estate facilities, net of accumulated depreciation ................ 9,530,582 - (1,573,527) - 7,957,055 Construction in process ..................... 60,324 - (30,360) - 29,964 Restricted cash ............................. 18,972 - - - 18,972 Investment in real estate entities .......... 306,743 - 577,300 (294,423) 589,620 Goodwill .................................... 174,634 - - - 174,634 Intangible assets, net ...................... 173,745 - (85,580) - 88,165 Other assets ................................ 132,658 - (56,612) - 76,046 Unallocated disposition proceeds............. - (602,127) - 602,127 - Receivable from Shurgard Europe.............. - - 575,508 - 575,508 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total assets ................................ $ 10,643,102 $ - $ (624,873) $ 307,704 $ 10,325,933 ====================================================================================== LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY Notes payable ............................... $ 1,031,847 $ - $ (384,045) $ - $ 647,802 Debt to joint venture partner ............... 38,081 - - - 38,081 Accrued and other liabilities ............... 303,357 - (100,443) - 202,914 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total liabilities ..................... 1,373,285 - (484,488) - 888,797 Minority interest - preferred ............... 325,000 - - - 325,000 Minority interest - other ................... 181,688 - (140,385) - 41,303 Shareholders' equity: Preferred shares ........................ 3,527,500 - - - 3,527,500 Common shares ........................... 16,943 - - - 16,943 Equity shares ........................... - - - - - Paid in capital ......................... 5,653,975 - - - 5,653,975 Cumulative net income.................... 3,960,827 - 333,237 4,294,064 Accumulated other comprehensive income... 50,065 - - (25,533) 24,532 Cumulative distributions paid ...........

RECEIPT OF PROCEEDS FROM SALE OF SHURGARD EUROPE In connection with the Transaction, we received gross proceeds of (euro)383.2 million ($605,627,000). In addition, we incurred estimated related costs including accounting, tax, legal, and other advisory and consulting services of approximately $3,500,000. As a result, our net proceeds were approximately $602,127,000. The following adjustments were made to reflect the receipt of $602,127,000 in net proceeds: Amounts in thousands ------------------ Increase to cash ($605,627,000 in gross proceeds, less $3,500,000 in estimated transaction costs).............. $ 602,127 Unallocated disposition proceeds............................. $ (602,127) 2. DE-CONSOLIDATION OF SHURGARD EUROPE Prior to the Transaction, the accounts of Shurgard Europe were consolidated with Public Storage's for financial reporting purposes. Concurrent with the Transaction, Shurgard Europe began to be operated in the Joint Venture, in which we hold a 49% interest and the institutional investor holds 51% of the equity interest. We have determined that the Joint Venture is not a Variable Interest Entity under the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Interpretation 46(R), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." Based upon the governing documents under which the Joint Venture operates, effective March 31, 2008, we are the managing member. However, NYCRF substantially participates in the decision-making and operations of the Joint Venture, and as a result, we do not control the Joint Venture. Accordingly, we will de-consolidate Shurgard Europe effective March 31, 2008. The following adjustments reflect the deconsolidation of Shurgard Europe: Adjustments have been recorded to eliminate the historical assets of Shurgard Europe at December 31, 2007: Amounts in thousands --------------------- o Cash and cash equivalents....................... $ (31,602) o Operating real estate facilities................

(140,385) The equity interest acquired by NYCRF was subject to notes payable to our wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries of approximately (euro)391 million ($575,508,000 based upon the exchange rate of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Euro of 1.472 at December 31, 2007). The historical amounts of such intercompany balances were eliminated in consolidation on our historical December 31, 2007 balance sheet. The following adjustments reflect the recording of this intercompany note: 4 PUBLIC STORAGE NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET December 31, 2007 (Unaudited) Amounts in thousands -------------------- An adjustment has been recorded to reflect the (euro)391 million ($575,508,000 based upon the exchange rate of the dollar relative to the Euro of 1.472 at December 31, 2007) receivable from Shurgard Europe, which will no longer be eliminated in consolidation.................................................. $575,508 An adjustment has been recorded to reflect our net equity investment (based upon our equity interest prior to the sale of the 51% interest) in Shurgard Europe as an investment in real estate entities.............................. $577,300 3. ALLOCATION OF PROCEEDS AND RECORDING OF GAIN ON SALE We expect to record a gain on sale, representing the difference between the estimated net proceeds of $602,127,000 and 51% of our existing $577,300,000 net equity investment in Shurgard Europe. The gain is estimated, based upon the December 31, 2007 balances, to be approximately $307,704,000. In addition, at December 31, 2007, we had approximately $50,065,000 in accumulated other comprehensive income related to cumulative exchange gains with respect to our investment in Shurgard Europe, of which 51% has become realized as a result of our disposition, resulting in an additional $25,533,000 of realized exchange gain. The actual gain to be recorded at March 31, 2008, and the actual realized cumulative exchange gain, will be based upon the book values of the assets and liabilities of Shurgard Europe at March 31, 2008, which will include the impact of activity, including changes in exchange rates, between December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008 (including the aforementioned contractual adjustment, which has not been determined, to the disposition proceeds for the operating results of Shurgard Europe between December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008). The actual gain at March 31, 2008 has not yet been determined, and could be substantially different from the amount disclosed herein. The following adjustments have been recorded to reflect the impact of the estimated gain on our balance sheet as if the Transaction had occurred on December 31, 2007.

ELIMINATION OF HISTORICAL AMOUNTS OF SHURGARD EUROPE INCLUDED IN PUBLIC STORAGE'S CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Prior to the Transaction, the accounts of Shurgard Europe were consolidated with Public Storage's for financial reporting purposes. Concurrent with the Transaction, Shurgard Europe began to be operated in the Joint Venture, in which we hold a 49% interest and NYCRF holds 51% of the equity interest. We have determined that the Joint Venture is not a Variable Interest Entity under the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Interpretation 46(R), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." Based upon the governing documents under which the Joint Venture operates, effective March 31, 2008, we are the managing member. However, NYCRF substantially participates in the decision-making and operations of the Joint Venture, and as a result, we do not control the Joint Venture. Accordingly, we will de-consolidate Shurgard Europe effective March 31, 2008. The following adjustments reflect the elimination of the amounts included in our historical financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 with respect to Shurgard Europe.
