(1)  During 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999 and 1998, we completed several significant business combinations and equity transactions.  See 

Notes 3, 9, and 10 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(2)  During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company adopted a business plan that included the closure of certain non-strategic 

containerized storage facilities (the "Closed Facilities.").  The historical operations of the Closed Facilities are classified as discontinued 
operations, with the rental income, cost of operations, and depreciation expense with respect to these facilities for current and prior 
periods included in the line-item "Discontinued Operations" on the income statement.   Also, during 2002, we sold one of our 
commercial facilities and classified its historical operations as discontinued operations, with the rental income, cost of operations, and 
depreciation expense with respect to this facility for current and prior periods included in the line-item "Discontinued Operations" on  
the income statement.  

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF PUBLIC STORAGE

Our company has been in business for over 30 years.  The lessons of 2002 clearly indicate

there is a price to pay for erroneous decisions in business.  We paid the price in 2002
and will continue to pay the price into 2003 to correct our errors.  The timing of our
missteps  has  made  the  price  that  much  higher.    As  we  made  mistakes,  economic  conditions
caused an apparent reduction in overall demand for storage services which was also coupled with
a high level of new openings of self-storage facilities. Our results reflect these judgment errors and
the changing competitive environment.  As a result:

• Rental activity was down.
• Rental rates were down.
• Discounts increased dramatically.
• Overall occupancies were down.

Net income per common share was down 21 percent for the year.  Funds from operations per
common  share  declined  6  percent  for  the  year.    The  principal  difference  between  these  two
measures being higher year over year depreciation attributable to acquisition and development
of additional real estate facilities.  A computation of our funds from operations is attached to
this letter.

Our results were primarily impacted by four factors:

1. Decline in net operating income at our stabilized self-storage facilities.
2. Operating losses and shutdown expenses associated with our containerized storage 

business.

3. Nominal yields on development properties in "fill-up" and continued dilution from build

out of our development pipeline.

4. Offset in part by income from the acquisition of a tenant reinsurance business and 

additional real estate investments during 2001 and 2002.

Self-Storage Operations:
The  operations  of  our  Consistent  Group  of  self-storage  facilities,  representing  facilities  owned
and operated at a stabilized level over the past three years, can be summarized as follows:

The loss in occupancy that started in the fourth quarter of 2001 was attributable to a 2001 flawed
marketing strategy, aggressive rate increases and a reduction in discounts.  The strategy appeared to work
in the first three quarters of 2001; however, during the fourth quarter of 2001 and through February
of 2002, there was a rapid decline in occupancy levels.  This reduction in occupancy level coincided
with a reduction in call volume to our national telephone reservation center apparently attributable to
the absence of significant promotional activity, as well as to deteriorating general economic conditions.

In mid March 2002, in order to counter anemic demand and rental activity, we lowered rental
rates  and  mounted  an  aggressive  marketing  and  promotional  campaign,  using  television  as  the
primary  media.    The  campaign  worked  as  planned;  however,  we  terminated  it  prematurely,
believing the usual spring and summer upturn in seasonal demand would preclude the need for
media expense and discounts to new customers.  We were wrong!  Rental activity slowed and the
negative spread of occupancy in our Consistent Group widened once again to unacceptable levels.

We  reinstated  a  marketing  and  promotional  program  in  mid-August  using  television  as  the
primary media, to enhance move-in activity and improve occupancy levels.  This program was
backed by promotional discounts offered through our phone center.  The program had a positive
impact  upon  move-in  activity  for  the  balance  of  2002.    We  shrank  the  negative  spread  in
occupancy year over year from a peak of 6.0 percent at July 31, 2002 to 1.2 percent at year-end.
The program continues into 2003.  The cost of restoring our customer base has been high!

With respect to our Consistent Group of self-storage facilities in 2002:

• Promotional discounts given to new tenants amounted to approximately $16.3 million.
• Television advertising costs were approximately $7.7 million.
• Direct property payroll and costs of managing facilities increased by $4.7 million due to

increased incentives to field employees.

We have learned a lot from this experience: about our customers, about various marketing channels
and  about  operational  execution.    Our  hope  is  to  build  from  this  knowledge  and  enhance  our
competitive position in the industry.  Through these efforts, we have rebuilt our customer base.  

While our operating environment is certainly challenging, we believe our performance was not
principally due to "industry conditions", but to our own missteps.  Just two years ago, we had
concluded a year in which our Consistent Group of facilities enjoyed an average occupancy in
excess  of  90.0  percent  and  a  decade  in  which  our  Consistent  Group  of  facilities  enjoyed  an
average net operating income growth in excess of 6.0 percent per year.

Today, our competitors, while not suffering the after effects of our missteps, are suffering none the less.
In general, the industry has seen an influx of new development over the past couple of years (including
new supply from us) leading to an over-supply problem in some markets.  In general, occupancies are
down, rental rates are flat to down and developments (including ours) are taking longer to fill-up.  The
reasons  for  this  are  many,  including  a  recession,  a  tremendous  boom  in  single  family  housing  and
general  lack  of  "movement"  within  the  economy—people  are  staying  put.    In  addition,  our
competitors are suffering from higher payroll and other operating costs such as snow removal.  Other
operators  are  terminating  new  developments  because  of  recent  disappointing  results  and  perceived
market turbulence.  In the long run, this should serve us well as existing supply is absorbed.

Looking ahead, we expect that our 2003 operating results will be below comparable periods in
2002,  through  at  least  the  first  quarter  of  2003.    This  will  be  due  to  continued  significant
discounting, including one dollar for the first month promotional specials and higher advertising
costs, offset in part by slightly higher occupancies.  In addition, we will continue to experience
higher  operating  costs,  including  snow  removal,  payroll,  marketing,  property  taxes  and
information systems, both during the first quarter and for the year 2003.

While  we  continue  to  "experiment"  with  various  marketing  channels,  it  appears  that  TV
advertising  with  a  promotional  discount  produces  the  greatest  return  on  investment.    We
continue to analyze results from all of our marketing programs.  Here are some highlights to date:
• We have rented more space in the first two months of 2003 than in any January and 

February period in our history.

• We have also had positive net absorption during the first two months of 2003, also never

before seen in January and February.

• Our occupancy level for our Consistent Group at February 28, 2003 is almost 2% ahead

of February 28, 2002.

These positives are offset with higher media cost and a greater level of promotional discounts.  Net,
net, our operating results for the first quarter of 2003 will be lower than the first quarter of 2002. 

Containerized Storage Operations
During  2002,  we  evaluated  the  number  of  containerized  storage  facilities  in  various  markets.
Based  on  this  evaluation,  we  decided  to  close  22  of  the  55  facilities.  Shutdown  costs  of  $8.6
million were recorded in 2002. These charges represent two items:

1) An asset impairment charge – effectively writing off all the related equipment, containers,

etc. of the facilities being closed, and 

2) An estimate of facility lease obligations after the facility has been closed

The future cash outlay with respect to these charges is estimated to be $2.4 million, representing
the  lease  obligations.   The  remaining  $6.2  million  of  the  charges  represented  the  write-off  of
equipment and containers.

As of December 31 2002, 12 of these 22 facilities had been closed.  The remaining 10 properties are
expected to be closed by September 2003 and are expected to generate operating losses in 2003 until
final closure.  These expected operating losses were not recorded as part of the shutdown charges.

In addition, a charge of $750,000 was recorded in 2002 relating to the planned disposition of
equipment that will no longer be needed at facilities that are not being closed. This charge was
included in the cost of operations of our containerized storage business.  

Going forward, the remaining operational facilities should have a minimal impact on our overall
operating results.  We will continue to evaluate the business model, pricing and our operational
effectiveness.  Our strategy is to concentrate our remaining 33 facilities in certain select markets.
We have dramatically increased prices for container rentals, transportation and power loading
to improve profitability and segment this product away from our self-storage product.  Our goal
is to have this business be able to operate on a "stand alone" basis in one form or another by the
end of 2003.

Development and Acquisition Activities:

As 2002 drew to a close, we had completed the development of 14 new self-storage facilities at a cost
of  $92  million. These  facilities  are  located  in  seven  states  and  contain  approximately  1.1  million
square feet of net rentable space. We currently have a development pipeline of 38 projects that are in
construction  or  that  are  expected  to  begin  construction  by  June  2003.    These  include  22  new
developments and 16 expansions to existing facilities.  These 38 projects will be fully funded by the
Company, have total estimated costs of land and building of approximately $200 million, of which
$88 million has already been expended as of December 31, 2002.  All developments and expansions
are subject to significant contingencies.  Seventeen of these new developments are located in major
cities on the Eastern Seaboard with the balance in California and Hawaii.

During 2002, we acquired nine facilities from unaffiliated owners made up of 502,000 square
feet of net rentable space at a cost of $30 million.

The highlights of our development and acquisition activity include:

• Over the past four years we have developed and opened 49 self-storage facilities with an aggregate

•

cost of approximately $267.0 million (3.1 million square feet).
In addition, over that same period of time, we developed and opened 17 combination facilities 
with an aggregate cost of approximately $154.2 million (1.0 million square feet of self-storage space).

• All of these properties were in some stage of fill-up during 2002.
• The dilution to our earnings from the fill-up of these properties is estimated to be $0.15 per 

common share in 2002 as compared to $0.11 per common share in 2001.   The dilution is created
by the negative spread between our cost of capital and the net operating income generated by 
these properties. 

We  believe  that  the  per  share  dilution  in  2002  may  be  the  "high  water"  mark  for  two  reasons:  (i)  our
development activity has slowed, resulting in fewer new store openings over at least the next two years, and
(ii) the newly opened projects continue to fill-up generating higher levels of net operating income.

In  2003,  we  are  estimating  that  we  will  open  19  new  self-storage  facilities  at  an  aggregate  cost  of
approximately  $141  million  (1.3  million  square  feet).  From  a  capital  requirement  standpoint,  we  are
estimating  that  we  will  spend  approximately  $100  million  on  our  development  activities  in  2003,
essentially building out our existing commitments.  Going forward, we are targeting a $50 to $75 million
of annual on-going development activity in our core markets.

The acquisition environment is tough.  This is due to today’s incredibly low interest rates, the tremendous
volume of private and institutional capital chasing real estate and the perceived stability of self-storage
facility cash flows.  Accordingly, we anticipate selling some non-core self-storage assets.
We currently have approximately $20 million of properties up for sale with possibly another $20 million
to be sold before the end of the year. This is our first time selling properties, so there is no assurance that
we will be successful.

Tenant Insurance:
At the end of 2001, we acquired PS Insurance Company from the Hughes family. This company reinsures
policies against losses to goods stored by tenants in our self-storage facilities. After tax net income was
approximately $10.5 million for 2002.  

Other Highlights:
Other transactions and events impacting us include:

•

In October 2002 we redeemed our 8.0% Series J Preferred Stock ($150 million).  This 
redemption was financed with the proceeds from the issuance of our 7.5% Series V ($172.5 
million) issued in September 2002.

• At the end of March 2003, we redeemed our 9.2% Series B Preferred Stock ($57.5 million).
• Our balance sheet remains strong and flexible.
• Our attitude towards the kind of leverage that we want on our balance sheet remains 

unchanged.

Finally, we are implementing a new property level software package, WEBCHAMP.  This software
has been in the development and testing phase for about two years and is now being implemented
at  the  property  level.   This  system  will  give  us  new  tools  to  help  us  understand  our  customers,
accelerate our ability to change prices based on local market conditions and improve the speed of
information flow throughout our organization.  We have already begun to benefit from this system.

Outlook:
No doubt the industry our Company helped found over 30 years ago, the self-storage business, has
grown and matured.  Some might even call it a "mature business".  The issues we face today are
the same as those we will face in the long-term. 

We operate a great business, characterized by:

• Relatively high return on invested capital at the unit level.
• Nominal required capital investment to maintain our properties.
• Simple to operate with not a lot of technology or regulation.
• Highly fragmented with very few barriers to entry and very few market dominant participants.

These  kinds  of  characteristics  attract  investor  capital.    Witness  the  entrance  into  the  industry  of
several well-financed and quality organizations.  Our industry will continue to attract capital until
something changes, which most likely will be a lower return on invested capital.  We are already
starting to see this. 

So what will separate those who survive and prosper from those that come and go?  We believe it
is  operational  excellence  with  a  customer  centric  focus  -  a  business  operation  that  focuses  on
customer preferences, services and values. 

How do we compete effectively?  We must:

• Provide our customers with a properly priced product, with the right blend of discounts 

and rental rates.  Our product must be promoted with the appropriate level of marketing. 
• Make sure our product is well located, includes appropriate amenities and services and has
an inviting atmosphere, i.e., retail oriented.  It needs to be well maintained and convey a 
sense of security.

• Hire, train, motivate and lead outstanding people.  Our personnel must be customer 

focused, knowledgeable and have the ability to provide exceptional service. 

The industry participants that excel at delivering good value to their customers should also provide
above average returns to their owners. 

Your  company,  Public  Storage,  has  an  incredible  franchise  and  our  entire  management  team  is
focused on optimizing its value.

Thank you for your continued interest and support.

Computation of Funds from Operations
(unaudited)

The following table sets forth our Funds from operations ("FFO") per common share for 2002 and
2001,    FFO  is  a  term  defined  by  the  National  Association  of  Real  Estate  Investment  Trusts
("NAREIT")  by  which  real  estate  investment  trusts  ("REITs")  may  be  compared.    It  is  generally
defined as net income before depreciation and extraordinary items.  FFO computations do not factor
out the REIT’s requirement to make either capital expenditures or principal payments on debt.

Forward Looking Statements  

PART I 

When used within this document, the words “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “should,” “estimates,” and 
similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of that term in Section 
27A  of  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1933,  as  amended,  and  in  Section  21F  of  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of 
1934,  as  amended.    Such  forward-looking  statements  involve  known  and  unknown  risks,  uncertainties,  and  other 
factors, which may cause the actual results and performance of the Company to be materially different from those 
expressed or implied in the forward looking statements.  Such factors are described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and 
include changes in general economic conditions and in the markets in which the Company operates and the impact 
of competition from new and existing storage and commercial facilities and other storage alternatives, which could 
impact  rents  and  occupancy  levels  at  the  Company’s  facilities;  difficulties  in  the  Company’s  ability  to  evaluate, 
finance and integrate acquired and developed properties into the Company’s existing operations and to fill up those 
properties,  which  could  adversely  affect  the  Company’s  profitability;  the  impact  of  the  regulatory  environment  as 
well  as  national,  state,  and  local  laws  and  regulations  including,  without  limitation,  those  governing  Real  Estate 
Investment  Trusts,  which  could  increase  the  Company’s  expense  and  reduce  the  Company’s  cash  available  for 
distribution;  consumers’  failure  to  accept  the  containerized  storage  concept  which  would  reduce  the  Company’s 
profitability; difficulties in raising capital at reasonable rates, which would impede the Company’s ability to grow; 
delays  in  the  development  process,  which  could  adversely  affect  the  Company’s  profitability;  and  economic 
uncertainty  due  to  the  impact  of  war  or  terrorism  could  adversely  affect  our  business  plan.    We  disclaim  any 
obligation  to  publicly  release  the  results  of  any  revisions  to  these  forward-looking  statements  reflecting  new 
estimates, events or circumstances after the date of this report.  

General 

Public  Storage,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  is  an  equity  real  estate  investment  trust  ("REIT")  organized  as  a 
corporation  under  the  laws  of  California  on  July  10,  1980.    We  are  a  fully  integrated,  self-administered  and  self-
managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that acquires, develops, owns and operates storage facilities. We are 
the largest owner and operator of storage space in the United States with direct and indirect equity investments in 
1,403  storage  facilities  containing  approximately  84.5  million  square  feet  of  net  rentable  space  at  December  31, 
2002.  Our common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “PSA”.  We also have a 
44%  ownership  interest  in  PS  Business  Parks,  Inc.,  which,  as  of  December  31,  2002,  owned  and  operated 
commercial properties containing approximately 14.4 million net rentable square feet of space.  PS Business Parks, 
Inc. is a public REIT whose common stock trades on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol “PSB.” 

We  have  elected  to  be  taxed  as  a  REIT  under  the  Internal  Revenue  Code  of  1986,  as  amended.  To  the 
extent that the Company continues to qualify as a REIT, it will not be subject to tax, with certain limited exceptions, 
on the taxable income that is distributed to our shareholders. 

The  Company  has  reported  annually  to  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  on  Form  10-K,  which 
includes financial statements certified by independent public accountants.  The Company has also reported quarterly 
to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-Q, and includes unaudited financial statements with such 
filings.  The Company expects to continue such reporting.  

The Company’s website is www.publicstorage.com, and the company makes available free of charge on its 
website  its  reports  on  Forms  10-K,  10-Q,  and  8-K,  and  all  amendments  to  those  reports  as  soon  as  reasonably 
practicable after the reports and amendments are electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC.

Management 

Ronald  L.  Havner,  Jr.  (45)  was  appointed  as a director, vice chairman, and chief executive officer of the 
Company  on  November  7,  2002.      Mr.  Havner  has  been  employed  by  Public  Storage  or  its  affiliates  in  various 
financial and operational capacities since 1986 and served as senior vice president and chief financial officer of the 
Company  from  November  1991  until  December  1996  when  he  became  chairman,  president,  and  chief  executive 
officer  of  PS  Business  Parks,  Inc.,  (“PSB”)  an  affiliate  of  the  Company.    Mr.  Havner  continues  as  chairman  and 
chief executive officer of PSB.  

B. Wayne Hughes (69) is chairman of the board of directors, a position he has held since 1991. Mr. Hughes 
plans  to  remain  active  in  the  Company’s  business,  focusing  primarily  on  strategic  and  marketing  initiatives.     Mr. 
Hughes established the Public Storage Organization in 1972 and has managed the Company through several market 
cycles.   Our executive management team and their years of experience with the Company are as follows: Harvey 
Lenkin  (66),  President  and Chief Operating Officer; 25 years; John Reyes (42), Chief Financial Officer, 12 years; 
and Marvin M. Lotz (60), Senior Vice President – Real Estate Division, 20 years. 

Our  senior  management  has  a  significant  ownership  position  in  the  Company  with  executive  officers, 
directors and their families owning approximately 46.7 million shares or 37% of the common stock as of March 14, 
2003.  

Investment Objective 

Our primary objective is to increase the value of each share through internal growth (by increasing funds 
from  operations  and  cash  available  for  distribution)  and  acquisitions  of  additional  real  estate  investments.    We 
believe that our access to capital, geographic diversification and operating efficiencies resulting from our size will 
enhance our ability to achieve this objective. 

Competition 

Competition in the market areas in which we operate is significant and affects the occupancy levels, rental 
rates  and  operating  expenses  of  certain  of  our  facilities.    The  continued development of new storage facilities has 
intensified the competition among storage operators in many market areas in which we operate.  

In seeking investments, we compete with a wide variety of institutions and other investors.  An increase in 
the  amount  of  funds  available  for  real  estate  investments  may  increase  competition  for  ownership  of  interests  in 
facilities and may reduce yields.  

We believe that the significant operating and financial experience of our executive officers and directors, 
combined with the Company's capital structure, national investment scope, geographic diversity, economies of scale 
and the ''Public Storage'' name, should enable us to compete effectively with other entities.  

In recent years consolidation has occurred in the fragmented storage industry.  In addition to the Company, 
there are two other publicly traded REITs and numerous private regional and local operators operating in the storage 
industry.  We believe that we are well positioned to capitalize on this consolidation trend due to our demonstrated 
access to capital and national presence. 

Business Attributes 

We  believe  that  the  Company  possesses  several  primary  business  attributes  that  permit  us  to  compete 

effectively: 

4 

 
 
Comprehensive distribution system and national telephone reservation system: Our facilities are part of a 
comprehensive  distribution  system  encompassing  standardized  procedures,  integrated  reporting  and  information 
networks and centralized marketing.  This distribution system is designed to maximize revenue through pricing and 
occupancy.   

A significant component of our distribution system is our national telephone reservation center, which was 
implemented in 1996 and 1997 in order to provide added customer service and maximize utilization of available self 
-  storage  space.    Customers  calling  either  the  toll-free  telephone  referral  system,  (800)  44-STORE,  or  a  storage 
facility,  are  directed  to  the  national  reservation  system.    A  representative  discusses  with  the  customer  space 
requirements, price and location preferences and also informs the customer of other products and services provided 
by  the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries.  We  believe  that  the  national  telephone  reservation  system  has  enhanced  our 
ability to market storage space. 

Containerized storage option: Historically, we offered storage spaces for rent through our traditional self-
storage facilities whereby customers would transport their goods to the facility and rent a space to store their goods.  
In  late  1996,  we  organized  Public  Storage  Pickup  and  Delivery,  Inc.  as  a  separate  corporation  and  a  related 
partnership  (the  corporation  and  partnership  are  collectively  referred  to  as  “PSPUD”)  to  operate  storage  facilities 
that rent portable storage containers to customers for storage in central facilities.  

The concept of PSPUD is to provide an alternative to a traditional self-storage facility. PSPUD delivers a 
storage  container(s)  to  the  customer’s  location  where  the  customer,  at  his  convenience,  packs  his  goods  into  the 
storage container.  PSPUD will subsequently return to the customer’s location to retrieve the storage container(s) for 
storage in a central facility.   At December 31, 2002, PSPUD had 33 facilities (excluding certain facilities that are in 
the process of being closed) in operation in 11 states.   

Retail operations:  The Company has historically sold retail items associated with the storage business and 
rented trucks at its storage facilities.   In order to further supplement and strengthen the existing self-storage business 
by further meeting the needs of storage customers, the Company has expanded its retail activities over the last few 
years. 

In addition, full-service retail stores have been retrofitted to some existing storage facility rental offices or 
“built-in”  as  part  of  the  development  of  new  storage  facilities,  both  in  high  traffic,  high visibility locations.   The 
strategic objective of these retail stores is to provide a retail environment to  (i) rent spaces for the attached storage 
facility, (ii) rent spaces for the other Public Storage facilities in adjacent neighborhoods, (iii) sell locks, boxes and 
packing materials and (iv) rent trucks and other moving equipment.  

Tenant insurance program:  On December 31, 2001, the Company purchased all of the capital stock of PS 
Insurance Company, Ltd., from Mr. Hughes and members of his family.  This insurance company reinsures policies 
issued  to  our  customers  against  loss  or  damage  goods  stored  by  tenants  in  the Company’s storage facilities.  This 
subsidiary receives the premiums and bears the risks associated with the re-insurance.  The Company believes that 
this  insurance  operation  will  continue  to  further  supplement  and  strengthen  the  existing  self-storage  business  and 
provide an additional source of earnings for the Company.  

Economies  of  scale:  We  are  the  largest  provider  of  storage  space  in  the  industry.    As  of  December  31, 
2002,  we  operated  1,403  storage  facilities  in  which  we  had  an interest and managed 30 storage facilities for third 
parties  in  37  states.    At  December  31,  2002,  we  had  over  661,000  spaces  rented.    The  size  and  scope  of  the 
operations have enabled us to achieve a high level of profit margins and low level of administrative costs relative to 
revenues.  

5 

 
 
Brand name recognition: Our operations are conducted under the “Public Storage” brand name, which we 
believe  is  the  most  recognized  and  established  name  in  the  self-storage  industry.    Our  storage  operations  are 
conducted in 37 states, giving us national recognition and prominence. We focus our operations within those states 
in the major metropolitan markets.  This concentration establishes us as one of the largest providers of storage space 
in  each  market  that  we  operate  in  and  enables  us  to  use  a  variety  of  promotional  activities,  such  as  television 
advertising as well as targeted discounting and referrals which are generally not economically viable for most of our 
competitors. 

Growth and Investment Strategies 

Our  growth  strategies  consist  of:  (i)  improving  the  operating  performance  of  our  stabilized  existing 
traditional  self-storage  properties,  (ii)  acquiring  additional  interests  in  entities  that  own  properties  operated  by  the 
Company, (iii) acquiring interests in properties that are owned or operated by others, (iv) developing properties in 
selected  markets,  (v)  improving  the  operating  performance  of  the  containerized  storage  operations,  and  (vi) 
participating in the growth of commercial facilities owned primarily by PS Business Parks, Inc.  These strategies are 
described as follows:  

Improve  the  operating  performance  of  existing  properties:  We  seek  to  increase  the  net  cash  flow 
generated  by  our  existing  stabilized  traditional  self-storage  properties  by  a)  regularly  evaluating  our  call  volume, 
reservation  activity,  and  move-in/move-out  rates  for  each  of  our  markets  relative  to  our  marketing  activities,  b) 
evaluating market supply and demand factors and, based upon these analyses, adjusting our marketing activities and 
rental rates,  c) attempting to maximize revenues through evaluating the appropriate balance between occupancy and 
rental  rates,  and  d)  controlling  expense  levels.    We  believe  that  our  property  management  personnel  and  systems, 
combined with the national telephone reservation system, will continue to enhance our ability to meet these goals. 

Acquire  properties  operated  and  partially  owned  by  the  Company:    In  addition  to  our  wholly  owned 
storage facilities, we operate storage facilities on behalf of other entities in which we have partial equity interests. 
From  time  to  time,  interests  in  these  storage  facilities  are  available  for  purchase,  providing  us  with  a  source  of 
additional  acquisition  opportunities.    We  believe  these  properties  include  some  of  the  better-located  and  better-
constructed  storage  facilities  in  the  industry.    Because  we  manage  these  properties,  we  have  reliable  operating 
information  prior  to  acquisition,  and  these  properties  are  easily  integrated  into  our  portfolio.  The  amount  of  such 
potential  acquisition  opportunities  has  decreased  over  the  last  several  years  as  we  have  continued  to  acquire  such 
interests.    Such  potential  remaining  acquisition opportunities include the remaining equity interests that we do not 
own in the entities described as “Other Investments” in Note 6 to the Company’s financial statements, as well as the 
“Other  Partnership  Interests”  in  Note  9  to  the  Company’s  financial  statements  for  the  year  ended  December  31, 
2002.  

Acquire  properties  owned  or  operated  by  others:    We  believe  our  presence  in  and  knowledge  of 
substantially  all  of  the  major  markets  in  the  United  States  enhances  our  ability  to  identify  attractive  acquisition 
opportunities  and  capitalize  on  the  overall  fragmentation  in  the  storage  industry.    We  maintain  local  market 
information on rates, occupancy and competition in each of the markets in which we operate.  

With  the  exception  of  the March 1999 merger with Storage Trust, our investments in additional facilities 
have  primarily  been  through  development,  rather  than  acquisitions  of  real  estate  facilities.        We  believe  the 
development of real estate facilities described below is more attractive under current market conditions, which are 
characterized by relatively high prices obtained in sales of existing self-storage facilities, which exceed replacement 
cost. 

Develop  properties  in  selected  markets:  Since  1995,  the  Company  and  its  joint  venture  partnerships 
(described below in Financing) have opened a total of 119 facilities, including 19 facilities in 1998, 24 facilities in 
1999, 27 facilities in 2000, 22 facilities in 2001, and 16 facilities in 2002.  As of December 31, 2002, the Company 
has  a  development  “pipeline”  of  38  self-storage  facilities  and  expansions  to  existing  storage  facilities  with  an 
aggregate estimated cost of approximately $199.8 million.  Development of these facilities is subject to significant 
contingencies  such  as  obtaining  appropriate  governmental  agency  approvals.    The  Company  continues  to  seek 
attractive sites for development of additional storage facilities.   

6 

 
 
Improve the operating performance of containerized storage operations:  At December 31, 2002, PSPUD 
operated 33 facilities.  Nine of the facilities are leased from third parties, while 24 of the facilities are owned by the 
Company  or  PSPUD.    19  of  the  owned  facilities  are  facilities  combine  containerized  storage  and  traditional  self-
storage  space  in  the  same  location  (“Combination  Facilities”),  and  five  facilities  are  industrial  facilities  owned  by 
the Company or PSPUD.    

During the year ended December 31, 2002, management adopted a business plan that included the closure 
of  certain  non-strategic  containerized  storage  facilities  (the  “Closed  Facilities”).  The  number  of  containerized 
facilities  operated  decreased  from  55  facilities  in  14  states  at  December  31,  2001,  to  33  facilities  in  11  states 
(excluding the Closed Facilities) at December 31, 2002.  

The  rate  of  fill-up  varies  from  facility  to  facility.    As  with  the  traditional  self-storage  facilities,  PSPUD 
believes  that  the  containerized  storage  business  experiences  seasonal  fluctuations  in  occupancy  levels  with 
occupancies  generally  higher  in  the  summer  months  than  in  winter  months.    There  can  be  no  assurance  as  to  the 
level  of  PSPUD’s  expansion,  level  of  gross  rentals,  level  of  move-outs  or  profitability.  Management  continues  to 
evaluate the optimum level of containerized facility operations in each market in which it operates.  

The Company is in the process of converting 701,000 net rentable square feet of industrial space previously 

used by the discontinued containerized storage operations, into self-storage space. 

Participate  in  the  growth  of  commercial  facilities  owned  primarily  by  PS  Business  Parks,  Inc.:  On 
January  2,  1997,  we  reorganized  our  commercial  property  operations  into  a  separate  private  REIT.    The  private 
REIT contributed its assets to a newly created operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) in exchange for a 
general partnership interest and limited partnership interests.  During 1997, the Company and certain partnerships in 
which  the  Company  has  a  controlling  interest  contributed  substantially  all  of  their  commercial  properties  to  the 
Operating Partnership in exchange for limited partnership interests or to the private REIT in exchange for common 
stock.  On March 17, 1998, the private REIT merged into Public Storage Properties XI, Inc., a publicly traded REIT 
and an affiliate of the Company and the name of the surviving corporation was changed to PS Business Parks, Inc. 
(the REIT and the related Operating Partnership are hereinafter referred to collectively as “PSB”). 

The  Company  and certain partnerships that the Company controls have a 44% common equity interest in 
PSB  as  of  December  31,  2002,  comprised  of  its  ownership  of  5,418,273  shares  of  common  stock  and  7,305,355 
limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership.  The limited partnership units are convertible at our option, 
subject to certain conditions, on a one-for-one basis into PSB common stock.    

At December 31, 2002, PSB owned and operated 14.4 million net rentable square feet of commercial space 

located in eight states.   

In  addition  to  our  investment  in  PSB,  we  have  direct  interests  in  four  commercial  facilities  with  an 
aggregate  of  262,000  net  rentable  square  feet.    In  addition,  certain  of  the  Company’s  self-storage  facilities  rent  a 
total  of  992,000  net  rentable  square  feet  of  commercial  space  at  the  same  location.    This  commercial  space  is 
managed by PSB pursuant to management agreements. 

Policies with respect to investing activities: Following are the Company’s policies with respect to certain 

other investing strategies, each of which may be entered into without a vote of shareholders: 

•  Making loans to other entities: The Company has made loans in connection with the sale of properties, 
has  made  short-term  loans  to  PS  Business  Parks,  Inc.  in  the  last  three  years  and  may  make  loans  to 
third parties as part of its investment objectives.  However, the Company doesn’t expect such items to 
be a significant part of its investing activities.   

7 

 
 
• 

Investing in the securities of other issuers for the purpose of exercising control:  There have been two 
instances in the past three years where the Company has invested in the securities of another publicly-
held  REIT,  one  which  resulted  in  control of that REIT (the merger with Storage Trust in 1999), and 
one that did not.  The Company may engage in these activities in the future as a component of its real 
estate acquisition strategy.  The Company also owns partnership interests in various consolidated and 
unconsolidated partnerships.  See “Investments in Real Estate and Real Estate Facilities.” 

•  To  underwrite  securities  of  other  issuers:    The  Company  has  not  engaged  in  this  activity  in  the  last 

three years, and does not intend to in the future.  

•  Short-term investing:  The Company has not engaged in investments in real estate or real estate entities 
on a short-term basis in the last three years with the exception of the aforementioned investments in the 
securities of other REIT’s.  Instead, historically, the Company has acquired real estate assets and held 
them  for  an  extended  period  of  time.    The  Company  does  not  anticipate  any  such  short-term 
investments.   

•  Repurchasing  or  reacquiring  the  Company’s  shares  or  other  securities:    The  Board  of  Directors  has 
authorized  the  repurchase  from  time  to  time  of  up  to  25,000,000  shares  of  the  Company’s  common 
stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.  Cumulatively through December 31, 
2002,  we  repurchased  a  total  of  21,497,020  shares  of  common  stock  at  an  aggregate  cost  of 
approximately  $535,862,000.      In  addition,  in  2001  and  2002,  we  redeemed  or  repurchased  $636.9 
million  of  our  senior  preferred  stock  and  $80,000,000  of  our  preferred  partnership  units  for  cash, 
representing  a  refinancing  of  these  securities  into  lower-coupon  preferred  securities.    Any  future 
repurchases  of  the  Company’s  common  stock  will  depend  primarily  upon  the  attractiveness  of 
repurchases compared to our other investment alternatives.  Future redemptions or repurchases of the 
Company’s  preferred  securities,  which  will  become  available  for  redemption  or  repurchase  on  their 
respective call dates, will be dependent upon the spread between market rates and the coupon rates of 
these securities. 

Financing of the Company’s Growth Strategies 

Overview  of  Financing  Strategy:  Over  the  past  three  years  we  have  funded  substantially  all  of  our 
acquisitions  with  permanent  capital  (retained  cash  flow  as  well  as  common  and  preferred  securities).  We  have 
elected  to  use  preferred  securities  as  a  form  of  leverage  despite  the  fact  that  the  dividend  rates  of  our  preferred 
securities exceed the prevailing market interest rates on conventional debt, because of certain benefits described in 
“Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations-Liquidity  and 
Capital Resources.’’ Our present intent is to continue to finance our growth with substantially permanent capital. 

Borrowings:    We  have  in  the  past  used  our  $200  million  line  of  credit  described  below  under 
“Borrowings” as temporary “bridge” financing, and repaid those amounts with permanent capital.  In the last four 
years,  the  only  additional  long-term  debt  we  have  incurred  has  been  assumed  in  connection  with  property 
acquisitions,  most  notably  the  merger  with  Storage  Trust  in  1999  wherein  we  assumed  $100  million  in  senior 
unsecured  notes.      While  it  is  not  our  present  intention  to  issue  debt  as  a  long-term  financing  strategy,  we  have 
broad  powers  to  borrow  in  furtherance  of  our  objectives  without  a  vote  of  our  shareholders.    These  powers  are 
subject  to  a  limitation  on  unsecured  borrowings  in  the  Company's  Bylaws  described  in  “Limitations  on 
Borrowings” below. 

Issuance of Senior Securities: The Company has in the last three years, and expects to continue, to issue 
additional  series  of  preferred  stock  that  are  senior  to  the  Company’s  Common  Stock  and  Equity  Stock.    At 
December 31, 2002,  we had approximately $1.8 billion of preferred stock outstanding.  The preferred stock, which 
was  issued  in  series,  has  general  preference  rights  with  respect  to  liquidation  and  quarterly  distributions.      We 
intend to continue to issue preferred securities without a vote of our common shareholders.  

8 

 
 
Issuance of securities in exchange for property:  The Company has issued common equity in exchange 
for  real  estate  and  other  investments  in  the  last  three  years.    Future  issuances  will  be  dependent  upon  market 
conditions at the time, including the market prices of our equity securities. 

Development Joint Venture Financing:  The Company has entered into two separate development joint 
venture partnerships since 1997 in order to provide development financing.    As of December 31, 2002, these joint 
ventures have completed their development activities.  

In November 1999, we formed PSAC Development Partners, L.P., (the “Consolidated Development Joint 
Venture”)  with  a  joint  venture  partner  (PSAC  Storage  Investors,  LLC)  whose  partners  include  a  third  party 
institutional  investor,  owning  approximately  35%,  and  Mr.  Hughes,  owning  approximately  65%,  to  develop 
approximately  $100  million  of  storage  facilities.  At  December  31,  2002,  PSAC  Development  Partners,  L.P  had 
completed construction on 22 storage facilities with a total cost of approximately $108.5 million.   We expect that 
this second joint venture partnership will receive no additional capital funding to develop any additional facilities. 

PSAC  Development  Partners,  L.P  is  funded  solely  with  equity  capital  consisting  of  51%  from  the 
Company and 49% from PSAC Storage Investors, LLC.  The term of the Consolidated Development Joint Venture 
is  15  years;  however,  during  the  sixth  year  PSAC  Storage  Investors,  LLC  has  the  right  to  cause  an  early 
termination  of  PSAC  Development  Partners,  L.P.    If  PSAC  Storage  Investors,  LLC  exercises  this  right,  we  then 
have  the  option,  but  not  the  obligation,  to  acquire  their  interest  for an amount that will allow them to receive an 
annual return of 10.75%.  If the Company does not exercise its option to acquire PSAC Storage Investors, LLC’s 
interest, PSAC Development Partners, L.P’s assets will be sold to third parties and the proceeds distributed to the 
Company  and  PSAC  Storage  Investors,  LLC  in  accordance  with  the  partnership  agreement.      If  PSAC  Storage 
Investors,  LLC  does  not  exercise  its  right  to  early  termination  during  the  sixth  year,  the  partnership  will  be 
liquidated  15  years  after  its  formation  with  the  assets  sold  to  third  parties  and  the  proceeds  distributed  to  the 
Company and PSAC Storage Investors, LLC in accordance with the partnership agreement. 

PSAC Storage Investors, LLC provides Mr. Hughes with a fixed yield of approximately 8.0% per annum 
on  his  preferred  non-voting  interest  (representing  an  investment  of approximately $64.1 million at December 31, 
2002).    In  addition,  Mr.  Hughes  can  receive  up  to  1%  of  cash  flow  of the Partnership (estimated to be less than 
$50,000 per year) if PSAC Storage Investors, LLC elects an early termination.  If PSAC Storage Investors, LLC 
does not elect to cause an early termination, Mr. Hughes’ 1% interest can increase to up to 10%. 

Disposition  of  properties:  The  Company  is  presently  evaluating  the  sale  of  certain  facilities,  which  are 
located in non-strategic markets and locations, which are estimated to be valued at approximately $23 million.  The 
Company  intends  to  use  the  proceeds  from  these  sales  as  a  source  of  funding  for  developments  and  third-party 
acquisitions. 

See  “Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations-

Liquidity and Capital Resources.’’ 

Investments in Real Estate and Real Estate Entities 

Investment  Policies  and  Practices  with  respect  to  our  investments:      Following  are  our  investment 
practices and policies which, though we do not anticipate any significant alteration, can be changed by the Board of 
Directors without a shareholder vote:  

•  Our investments primarily consist of direct ownership of self-storage properties (the nature of our self-
storage properties is described in Item 2, “Properties”), as well as partial interests in entities that own 
self-storage properties, which are located in the United States.  

•  Our investments are acquired both for income and for capital gain.   

9 

 
 
•  Our partial ownership interests primarily reflect general and limited partnership interests in entities that 

own self-storage facilities that are operated by the Company.  

•  Additional acquired interests in real estate (other than the acquisition properties from third parties) will 

include common equity interests in entities in which we already have an interest.  

•  To  a  lesser  extent,  we  have  interests  in  existing  commercial  properties  (described  in  Item  2, 
“Properties”),  containing  commercial  and industrial rental space, primarily through our investment in 
PS Business Parks.   

•  The Company is developing 38 storage facilities, including 16 expansions of real estate facilities, for a 
total cost of $199.8 million.  See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 
and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources.”  

The following table outlines our ownership interest in self-storage facilities at December 31, 2002:

(a)    Square  footages  for  the  consolidated  facilities  includes  1,695,000  net  rentable  square  feet  of 
industrial space for use in containerized storage activities. 

In addition to the Company’s interest in self-storage facilities noted above, the Company owns four stand-
alone commercial facilities with an aggregate of 262,000 net rentable square feet, owns five industrial facilities with 
an  aggregate  of  420,000  net  rentable  square  feet  used  by  the continuing containerized storage operations, and has 
992,000 net rentable square feet of commercial space at certain of the self-storage facilities.   The Company and the 
entities it controls also have a 44% common interest in PSB, which at December 31, 2002 owned and operated 14.4 
million net rentable square feet of commercial space. 

Facilities Owned by Controlled Entities   

In  addition  to  our  direct  ownership  of  847  storage  facilities,  at  December  31,  2002,  we  had  controlling 
ownership interests in 36 entities owning in aggregate 520 storage facilities.  Because of our controlling interest in 
each  of  these  entities,  we  consolidate  the  assets,  liabilities,  and  results  of  operations  of  these  entities  on  the 
Company’s financial statements. 

Facilities Owned by Unconsolidated Entities 

At December 31, 2002, we had ownership interests in PSB and seven limited partnerships (collectively the 

“Unconsolidated Entities”).  Our ownership interest in these entities is less than 50%. 

10 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Due  to  the  Company’s  limited  ownership  interest  and  limited  control  of  these  entities,  we  do  not 
consolidate the accounts of these entities for financial reporting purposes and account for such investments using the 
equity method.  PSB, which files financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission, has debt and 
other  obligations  that  are  not  included  on  the  Company’s  financial  statements.    The  seven  limited  partnerships do 
not have any significant amounts of debt or other obligations.  See Note 6 to the Company’s financial statements for 
the year ended December 31, 2002 for further disclosure regarding the assets and liabilities of the Unconsolidated 
Entities. 

The  following  chart  sets  forth,  as  of  December  31,  2002,  the  entities  in  which  the  Company  has  a

Prohibited Investments and Activities  

The Company's Bylaws prohibit the Company from purchasing properties in which the Company's officers 
or  directors  have  an  interest,  or  from  selling properties to such persons, unless the transactions are approved by a 
majority of the independent directors and are fair to the Company based on an independent appraisal. This Bylaw 
provision may be changed with shareholder approval. See ''Limitations on Debt'' below for other restrictions in the 
Bylaws.  

Borrowings 

We  have  a  $200  million  revolving  line  of  credit  (the  “Credit  Agreement”)  that  has  a  maturity  date  of 
October 31, 2004 and bears an annual interest rate ranging from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 
0.45% to LIBOR plus 1.50% depending on our credit ratings (currently 0.45%).  In addition, we are required to pay 
a  quarterly  commitment  fee  ranging  from  0.20%  per  annum  to  0.30%  per  annum  depending  on  our  credit  ratings 
(currently  the  fee  is  0.20%  per  annum).    At  December  31,  2002,  we had no borrowings on our line of credit.  At 
March 23, 2003, there were no borrowings on our line of credit.  

The Credit Agreement includes various covenants, the more significant of which require us to (i) maintain a 
balance  sheet  leverage  ratio  of  less  than  0.50  to  1.00,  (ii)  maintain  certain  quarterly  interest  and  fixed-charge 
coverage ratios (as defined) of not less than 2.50 to 1.0 and 1.75 to 1.0, respectively, and (iii) maintain a minimum 
total shareholders’ equity (as defined).  In addition, we are limited in our ability to incur additional borrowings (we 
are required to maintain unencumbered assets with an aggregate book value equal to or greater than two times our 
unsecured recourse debt).  We were in compliance with all the covenants of the Credit Agreement at December 31, 
2002. 

As of December 31, 2002, we had notes payable of approximately $115.9 million. See Notes 7 and 8 to the 

consolidated financial statements for a summary of the Company’s borrowings at December 31, 2002. 

Subject  to  a  limitation  on  unsecured  borrowings  in  the  Company's  Bylaws  (described  below),  we  have 
broad powers to borrow in furtherance of the Company's objectives.  We have incurred in the past, and may incur in 
the future, both short-term and long-term indebtedness to increase our funds available for investment in real estate, 
capital expenditures and distributions.  

12 

 
 
Limitations on Debt  

The  Bylaws  provide  that  the  Board  of  Directors  shall  not  authorize  or  permit  the  incurrence  of  any 
obligation by the Company which would cause our ''Asset Coverage'' of our unsecured indebtedness to become less 
than 300%. Asset Coverage is defined in the Bylaws as the ratio (expressed as a percentage) by which the value of 
the  total  assets  (as  defined  in  the  Bylaws)  of  the  Company  less  the  Company's  liabilities  (except  liabilities  for 
unsecured  borrowings)  bears  to  the  aggregate  amount  of  all  unsecured  borrowings  of  the  Company.  This  Bylaw 
provision may be changed only upon a shareholder vote.  

The Company's Bylaws prohibit us from issuing debt securities in a public offering unless the Company's 
''cash flow'' (which for this purpose means net income, exclusive of extraordinary items, plus depreciation) for the 
most recent 12 months for which financial statements are available, adjusted to give effect to the anticipated use of 
the proceeds from the proposed sale of debt securities, would be sufficient to pay the interest on such securities. This 
Bylaw provision may be changed only upon a shareholder vote.  

Without the consent of holders of the various series of Senior Preferred Stock, we may not take any action 
that would result in a ratio of ''Debt'' to ''Assets'' (the ''Debt Ratio'') in excess of 50%.  As of December 31, 2002, the 
Debt  Ratio  was  approximately  2.0%.    ''Debt''  means  the  liabilities  (other  than  ''accrued  and  other  liabilities''  and 
''minority interest'') that should, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, be 
reflected on the Company's consolidated balance sheet at the time of determination.  ''Assets'' means the Company's 
total  assets  before  a  reduction  for  accumulated  depreciation  and  amortization  that  should,  in  accordance  with 
generally accepted accounting principles, be reflected on the consolidated balance sheet at the time of determination.  

Our bank and senior unsecured debt agreements contain various financial covenants, including limitations 
on  the  level  of  indebtedness  of  30%  of  total  capitalization  (as  defined)  and  the  prohibition  of  the  payment  of 
dividends upon the occurrence of an event of default (as defined).  

Employees 

We have 4,500 employees at December 31, 2002 who render services on behalf of the Company, primarily 
personnel  engaged  in  property  operation,  substantially  all  of  whom  are  employed  by  a  clearing  company  that 
provides certain administrative and cost-sharing services to the Company and other owners of properties operated by 
the Company. 

Federal Income Tax 

We believe that we have operated, and intend 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 we continue to qualify as a REIT, we will not be taxed, with certain limited exceptions, on the taxable 
income (including gains from the sale of securities and properties) that is distributed to our shareholders. For Federal 
tax purposes, distributions to shareholders are treated by the shareholders as ordinary income, capital gains, return of 
capital  or  a  combination  thereof.    Distributions  in excess of taxable income (as defined) are treated as nontaxable 
returns of capital.  

On December 17, 1999, the Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999 (the “Act”), which included certain 
provisions affecting REITs, was enacted.  The REIT provisions of the Act generally are effective for taxable years 
beginning after December 31, 2000.   The Act was intended to ease the restrictions on a REIT’s ability to own the 
stock of taxable companies.  The Act allows REITs to own up to 100% of the stock of companies that have made a 
joint election with the REIT to be treated as “taxable REIT subsidiaries” (“TRS”).  A TRS will be subject to federal 
income tax on income as a regular corporation.  Under prior law, a REIT generally could not own more than 10% of 
the voting securities of other issuers.  Under the Act,  the prior law 10% voting securities test was expanded so that 
REITs  also  are  prohibited  from  owing  more  than  10%  of  the  value of outstanding securities of any one corporate 
issuer,    except  for  companies  that  elect  to  be  treated  as  TRSs  or  companies  that  qualify  for  certain  grandfather 
provisions in the Act. 

13 

 
 
An important effect of the Act is that TRSs are permitted to offer noncustomary services to the tenants of 
the REIT (such services could be provided under prior law only by “independent contractors” from which the REIT 
could not earn any income).  TRSs also are able to engage in other income producing activities that typically had 
been  undertaken  by  REITs  only  through  entities  in  which  a  REIT  could  have  a  substantial  economic  interest,  but 
was  limited  to  a  10%  or  less  voting  interest.    The  Act  includes  certain  limitations  that  prevent  income  shifting 
between a REIT and its TRS, in an effort to ensure that TRSs in fact are taxable on the income that they earn.  In 
addition, under prior law, a REIT could not own securities of any single issuer with a value in excess of 5% of the 
value of all the assets of the REIT.  The Act also relaxed this limitation, so that a REIT may own a TRS (or TRSs), 
so long as the aggregate value of the TRSs, when combined with all other non-REIT assets, does not exceed 25% of 
the value of all assets of the REIT.  The Company and certain affiliates have jointly made the TRS election. 

Insurance 

We  believe  that  our  properties  are  adequately  insured.    Our  facilities  have  historically  carried 
comprehensive  insurance,  including  fire,  earthquake,  liability  and  extended  coverage  through  STOR-Re  Mutual 
Insurance Company, Inc. (“STOR-Re”), one of the Consolidated Entities, and insures portions of these risks through 
nationally recognized insurance carriers.   STOR-Re also insures affiliates of the Company. 

The  Company,  Stor-RE,  and  its  affiliates’  maximum  aggregate  annual  exposure  for  losses  that  are  below 
the  deductibles  set  forth  in  the  third-party  insurance  contracts,  assuming  multiple  significant  events  occur,  is 
approximately $30 million.  In addition, if losses exhaust the third-party insurers’ limit of coverage of $125,000,000 
for property coverage and $101,000,000 for general liability, our exposure could be greater.  These limits are higher 
than  estimates  of  maximum  probable  losses  that  could  occur  from  individual  catastrophic  events  (i.e.,  earthquake 
and wind damage) determined in recent engineering and actuarial studies. 

ITEM 1A. 

Risk Factors 

In  addition  to  the  other  information  in  our  Form  10-K,  you  should  consider  the  following  factors  in 

evaluating the Company: 

The Hughes family could control us. 

At  March  14,  2003,  the  Hughes  family  owned  approximately  37%  of  our  outstanding  shares  of  common 
stock.    Consequently,  the  Hughes  family  could  control  matters  submitted  to  a  vote  of  our  shareholders,  including 
electing  directors,  amending  our  organizational  documents,  dissolving  and  approving  other  extraordinary 
transactions,  such  as  a  takeover  attempt,  even  though  such  actions  may  be  favorable  to  the  other  common 
shareholders. 

Provisions in our organizational documents may prevent changes in control. 

Restrictions  in  our  organizational  documents  may  further  limit  changes  in  control.    Unless  our  board  of 
directors  waives  these  limitations,  no  shareholder  may  own  more  than  (1)  2.0%  of  our  outstanding  shares  of  our 
common stock or (2) 9.9% of the outstanding shares of each class or series of our preferred or equity stock.  Our 
organizational documents in effect provide, however, that the Hughes family may continue to own the shares of our 
common  stock  held  by  them  at  the  time  of  the  1995  reorganization.    These limitations are designed, to the extent 
possible,  to  avoid  a  concentration  of  ownership  that  might  jeopardize  our  ability  to  qualify  as  a  real  estate 
investment  trust  or  REIT.    These  limitations,  however,  also  may  make  a  change  of  control  significantly  more 
difficult  (if  not  impossible)  even  if  it  would  be  favorable  to  the  interests  of  our  public  shareholders.    These 
provisions  will  prevent  future  takeover  attempts  not  approved  by  our  board  of  directors  even  if  a  majority  of  our 
public shareholders deem it to be in their best interests because they would receive a premium for their shares over 
the shares’ then market value or for other reasons. 

14 

 
 
We would incur adverse tax consequences if we fail to qualify as a REIT. 

You will be subject to the risk that we may not qualify as a REIT.  As a REIT, we must distribute at least 
90%  of  our  REIT  taxable  income  to  our  shareholders,  which  include  not  only  holders  of  our  common  stock  and 
equity  stock  but  also  holders  of  our  preferred  stock.    Failure  to  pay  full  dividends  on  the  preferred  stock  would 
prevent us from paying dividends on our common stock and could jeopardize our qualification as a REIT. 

For any taxable year that we fail to qualify as a REIT and the relief provisions do not apply, we would be 
taxed at the regular corporate rates on all of our taxable income, whether or not we make any distributions to our 
shareholders.    Those  taxes  would  reduce  the  amount  of  cash  available  for  distribution  to  our  shareholders  or  for 
reinvestment.    As  a  result, our failure to qualify as a REIT during any taxable year could have a material adverse 
effect upon us and our shareholders.  Furthermore, unless certain relief provisions apply, we would not be eligible to 
elect REIT status again until the fifth taxable year that begins after the first year for which we fail to qualify. 

We may pay some taxes. 

Even if we qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes, we are required to pay some federal, state 
and  local  taxes  on  our  income  and  property.    Several  corporate  subsidiaries  of  the  Company  have  elected  to  be 
treated as “taxable REIT subsidiaries” of the Company for federal income tax purposes since January 1, 2001.  A 
taxable REIT subsidiary is a fully taxable corporation and is limited in its ability to deduct interest payments made 
to  us.    In  addition,  we  will  be  subject  to  a  100%  penalty  tax  on  some  payments  that  we  receive  if  the  economic 
arrangements among our tenants, our taxable REIT subsidiaries and us are not comparable to similar arrangements 
among unrelated parties.  To the extent that the Company or any taxable REIT subsidiary is required to pay federal, 
state or local taxes, we will have less cash available for distribution to shareholders. 

We would incur a corporate level tax if we sell certain assets. 

We will generally be subject to a corporate level tax on any net built-in gain if before November 2005 we 

sell any of the assets we acquired in the November 1995 reorganization. 

We and our shareholders are subject to financing risks. 

Debt increases the risk of loss.  In making real estate investments, we may borrow money, which increases 

the risk of loss.  At December 31, 2002, our debt of $115.9 million was approximately 2.4% of our total assets. 

Certain securities have a liquidation preference over our common stock and Equity Stock, Series A.  If we 
liquidated, holders of our preferred securities would be entitled to receive liquidating distributions, plus any accrued 
and  unpaid  distributions,  before  any  distribution  of  assets  to  the  holders  of  our  common  stock  and  Equity  Stock, 
Series  A.      Holders  of  preferred  securities  are  entitled  to  receive,  when  declared  by  our  board  of  directors,  cash 
distributions in preference to holders of our common stock and Equity Stock, Series A.   

Since  our  business  consists  primarily  of  acquiring  and  operating  real  estate,  we  are  subject  to  real  estate 
operating risks. 

The value of our investments may be reduced by general risks of real estate ownership.  Since we derive 
substantially all of our income from real estate operations, we are subject to the general risks of owning real estate-
related assets, including: 

• 

• 

• 

lack of demand for rental spaces or units in a locale; 

changes in general economic or local conditions; 

potential terrorist attacks; 

15 

 
 
• 

• 

• 

• 

changes in supply of or demand for similar or competing facilities in an area; 

the impact of environmental protection laws; 

changes  in  interest  rates  and  availability  of  permanent  mortgage  funds  which  may  render  the  sale  or 
financing of a property difficult or unattractive; and 

changes in tax, real estate and zoning laws. 

There is significant competition among self-storage facilities and from other storage alternatives.  Most of 
our  properties  are  self-storage  facilities,  which  generated  94%  of  our  rental  revenue  during  2002.    Local  market 
conditions will play a significant part in how competition will affect us.  Competition in the market areas in which 
many of our properties are located from other self-storage facilities and other storage alternatives is significant and 
has affected the occupancy levels, rental rates and operating expenses of some of our properties.  Any increase in 
availability of funds for investment in real estate may accelerate competition.  Further development of self-storage 
facilities  may  intensify  competition  among  operators  of  self-storage  facilities  in  the  market  areas  in  which  we 
operate.  As discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 
–  Self-Storage  Operations,  the  revenues  of  the  Consistent  Group  of  facilities  declined  3.3%  in  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2002 as compared to 2001. Such competition could have been a factor in this decline.  

We may incur significant environmental costs and liabilities.  As an owner and operator of real properties, 
under  various  federal,  state  and  local  environmental  laws,  we  are  required  to  clean  up  spills  or  other  releases  of 
hazardous or toxic substances on or from our properties.  Certain environmental laws impose liability whether or not 
the  owner  knew  of,  or  was  responsible  for,  the  presence  of  the  hazardous  or  toxic  substances.    In  some  cases, 
liability may not be limited to the value of the property.  The presence of these substances, or the failure to properly 
remediate  any  resulting  contamination,  also  may  adversely  affect the owner’s or operator’s ability to sell, lease or 
operate its property or to borrow using its property as collateral. 

We  have  conducted  preliminary  environmental  assessments  of  most  of  our  properties  (and  intend  to 
conduct these assessments in connection with property acquisitions) to evaluate the environmental condition of, and 
potential  environmental  liabilities  associated  with,  our  properties.    These  assessments  generally  consist  of  an 
investigation of environmental conditions at the property (not including soil or groundwater sampling or analysis), 
as  well  as  a  review  of  available  information  regarding  the  site  and  publicly  available  data  regarding  conditions  at 
other  sites  in  the  vicinity.    In  connection  with  these  property  assessments,  our  operations  and  recent  property 
acquisitions,  we  have  become  aware  that  prior  operations  or  activities  at  some  facilities  or  from  nearby  locations 
have or may have resulted in contamination to the soil or groundwater at these facilities.  In this regard, some of our 
facilities  are  or  may  be  the  subject  of  federal  or  state  environment  investigations  or  remedial  actions.    We  have 
obtained,  with  respect  to  recent  acquisitions,  and  intend  to  obtain  with  respect  to  pending  or  future  acquisitions, 
appropriate  purchase  price  adjustments  or  indemnifications  that  we  believe  are  sufficient  to  cover  any  related 
potential liability.  Although we cannot provide any assurance, based on the preliminary environmental assessments, 
we  believe  we  have  funds  available  to  cover  any  liability  from  environmental  contamination  or  potential 
contamination  and  we  are  not  aware  of  any  environmental  contamination  of  our  facilities  material  to  our  overall 
business, financial condition or results of operation.  

Delays  in  development  and  fill-up  of  our  properties  would  reduce  our  profitability:    During  2002,  the 
Company opened a total of 14 newly developed self-storage facilities at a total cost of approximately $92,109,000, 
and at December 31, 2002 the Company had 38 projects in development that were expected to begin construction by 
June 30, 2003.  These 38 projects have total estimated costs of $199,760,000.  Construction delays due to weather, 
unforeseen site conditions, personnel problems, and other factors, as well as cost overruns, would adversely affect 
the Company’s profitability.  Delays in the rent-up of newly developed facilities as a result of competition or other 
factors would also adversely impact the Company’s profitability.  

16 

 
 
Property taxes can increase and cause a decline in yields on investments. Each of our properties is subject 
to real property taxes. These real property taxes may increase in the future as property tax rates change and as our 
properties  are  assessed  or  reassessed  by  tax  authorities.    Such  increases  could  adversely  impact  the  Company’s 
profitability.  

We  must  comply  with  the  Americans  with  Disabilities  Act  and  fire  and  safety  regulations,  which  can 
require significant expenditures:   All  our  properties  must  comply  with  the  Americans  with  Disabilities  Act  and 
with related regulations (the “ADA”).  The ADA has separate compliance requirements for “public accomodations” 
and  “commercial  facilities,”  but  generally  requires  that  buildings  be  made  accessible  to  persons  with  disabilities.  
Various state laws impose similar requirements. A failure to comply with the ADA or similar state laws could result 
in government imposed fines on us and the award of damages to individuals affected by the failure.  In addition, we 
must operate our properties in compliance with numerous local fire and safety regulations, building codes, and other 
land  use  regulations.    Compliance  with  these  requirements  can  require  us  to  spend  substantial  amounts  of  money, 
which  would  reduce  cash  otherwise  available  for  distribution  to  shareholders.    Failure  to  comply  with  these 
requirements could also affect the marketability of our real estate facilities.  

We have no interest in Canadian self-storage facilities owned by the Hughes family. 

The  Hughes  Family  has  ownership  interests  in,  and  operates,  approximately  38  self-storage  facilities  in 
Canada under the name “Public Storage.”  Our personnel are engaged in the supervision and the operation of these 
properties and in providing certain administrative services, and the Canadian owners reimburse us at cost for these 
services.  We have a right of first refusal to acquire the stock or assets of the corporation engaged in these operations 
if the Hughes family or the corporation agrees to sell them.    However, we have no interest in the operations of this 
corporation,  have  no  right  to  acquire  this  stock  or  assets  unless  the  Hughes  family  decides  to sell, and receive no 
benefit from the profits and increases in value of the Canadian mini-warehouses.  There may be conflicts of interest 
in allocating the time of our personnel between our properties and the Canadian properties.  The Board of Directors 
is currently evaluating these arrangements. 

Our portable self-storage business has incurred operating losses. 

Public  Storage  Pickup  &  Delivery  (“PSPUD”)  was  organized  in  1996  to  operate  a  portable  self-storage 
business.    We  own  all  of  the  economic  interest  of  PSPUD.    Since  PSPUD  will  operate  profitably  only  if  it  can 
succeed in the relatively new field of portable self-storage, we cannot provide any assurance as to its profitability.  
PSPUD  incurred  operating  losses  of  $5,135,000  in  2000,  $2,218,000  in  2001  and  $10,058,000  in  2002.    PSPUD 
closed 22 facilities that were deemed not strategic to the Company’s business plan during 2002. 

The  operating  loss  for  2002  includes  a  write-down  for  impaired  assets  totaling  $6,937,000  ($750,000  of 
which  relates  to  continuing  operations)  and  lease  termination  charges  of  $2,447,000  (see  Note  4  to  the  financial 
statements for more information). 

Terrorist attacks and the possibility of wider armed conflict may have an adverse impact on our business and 
operating results and could decrease the value of our assets.   

Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war, such as those that took place on September 11, 2001, 
could have a material adverse impact on our business and operating results.  There can be no assurance that there 
will not be further terrorist attacks against the United States or its businesses or interests.  Attacks or armed conflicts 
that  directly  impact  one  or  more of our properties could significantly affect our ability to operate those properties 
and  thereby  impair  our  operating  results.    Further,  we  may  not  have  insurance  coverage  for  losses  caused  by  a 
terrorist  attack.    Such  insurance  may  not  be  available,  or  if  it  is  available  and  we  decide  to  obtain  such  terrorist 
coverage, the cost for the insurance may be significant in relationship to the risk overall.  In addition, the adverse 
effects  that  such  violent  acts  and  threats  of  future  attacks  could  have  on  the U.S. economy could similarly have a 
material  adverse  effect  on  our  business  and  results  of  operations.    Finally,  further  terrorist  acts  could  cause  the 
United States to enter into a wider armed conflict which could further impact our business and operating results.

President Bush’s proposed tax cut could adversely affect the price of our stock.    

President Bush has proposed a tax reduction package that would, among other things, substantially reduce 
or  eliminate  the  taxation  of  dividends  paid  by  corporations  other  than  REITs.  If the double taxation of corporate 
dividends  were  to  be  eliminated  or  reduced,  certain  of  the  relative  tax  advantage  of  being  a  REIT  would  be 
eliminated  or  reduced,  which  may  have an adverse effect on the price of our stock.  This adverse effect may take 
place prior to the adoption of any tax cut based upon the market’s perception of the likelihood of implementation of 
such a provision.

(a)  Includes  1,367  self-storage  facilities  owned  by  the  Company  and  entities  controlled  by  the  Company.    The  remaining  36 
facilities are self-storage facilities owned by entities in which the Company has an interest; however, the Company does not 
have a controlling interest in such entities.  See Schedule III:  Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation in the Company’s 
2002 financials, for a complete list of properties consolidated by the Company. 

Our  facilities  are  generally  operated  to  maximize  cash  flow  through  the  regular  review  and,  when 
warranted  by  market  conditions,  adjustment  of  scheduled  rents.    For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2002,  the 
weighted  average  occupancy  level  and  the  weighted  average  annual  realized  rent  per  rentable  square  foot  for  our 
storage facilities were approximately 82.9% and $9.64, respectively.  Included in the 1,403 storage facilities are 66 
newly developed facilities opened since January 1, 1999, substantially all of which were in the fill-up stage in the 
year ended December 31, 2002. 

At December 31, 2002, 24 of our facilities were encumbered by an aggregate of $20.6 million in mortgage 

debt.  

18 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The  Company  has  no  specific  policy  as  to  the  maximum  size  of  any  one  particular  self-storage  facility.  
However, none of our facilities involves, or is expected to involve, 1% or more of the Company's total assets, gross 
revenues or net income.  

Description  of  Storage  facilities:  Storage  facilities,  which  comprise  the  majority  of  our  investments 
(approximately  94%  based  on  rental  revenue),  are  designed  to  offer  accessible  storage  space  for  personal  and 
business use at a relatively low cost. A user rents a fully enclosed space which is for the user's exclusive use and to 
which only the user has access on an unrestricted basis during business hours. On-site operation is the responsibility 
of  property  managers  who  are  supervised  by  district  managers.  Some  storage  facilities  also  include  rentable 
uncovered  parking  areas  for  vehicle  storage,  as  well  as  space  for  portable  storage  containers.  Leases  for  storage 
facilities space may be on a long-term or short-term basis, although typically spaces are rented on a month-to-month 
basis. Rental rates vary according to the location of the property and the size of the storage space. All of our storage 
facilities are operated under the "Public Storage" name. 

Users  of  space  in  storage  facilities  include  both  individuals  and  large  and  small  businesses.  Individuals 
usually employ this space for storage of furniture, household appliances, personal belongings, motor vehicles, boats, 
campers,  motorcycles  and  other  household  goods.  Businesses  normally  employ  this  space  for  storage  of  excess 
inventory, business records, seasonal goods, equipment and fixtures.  

Storage  facilities  in  which  we  have  invested  generally  consist  of  three  to  seven  buildings  containing  an 
aggregate of between 350 to 750 storage spaces, most of which have between 25 and 400 square feet and an interior 
height of approximately 8 to 12 feet.  

We  experience  minor  seasonal  fluctuations  in  the  occupancy  levels  of  storage  facilities  with  occupancies 
generally higher in the summer months than in the winter months. We believe that these fluctuations result in part 
from increased moving activity during the summer.  

Our storage facilities are geographically diversified and are located primarily in or near major metropolitan 
markets in 37 states in the United States. Generally our storage facilities are located in heavily populated areas and 
close to concentrations of apartment complexes, single family residences and commercial developments. However, 
there may be circumstances in which it may be appropriate to own a property in a less populated area, for example, 
in an area that is highly visible from a major thoroughfare and close to, although not in, a heavily populated area. 
Moreover, in certain population centers, land costs and zoning restrictions may create a demand for space in nearby 
less populated areas.  

Competition  from  other  self-storage  facilities  in  the  market  areas  in  which  many  of  our  properties  are 
located  is  significant  and  has  affected  the  occupancy  levels,  rental  rates,  and  operating  expenses  of  some  of  our 
properties.  

Since  our  investments  are  primarily  storage facilities, our ability to preserve our investments and achieve 
our objectives is dependent in large part upon success in this field.  Historically, upon stabilization after an initial 
fill-up  period,  our  storage  facility  interests  have  generally  shown  a  high  degree  of  consistency  in  generating  cash 
flows,  despite  changing  economic  conditions.    We  believe  that  our  storage  facilities,  upon  stabilization,  have 
attractive characteristics consisting of high profit margins, a broad tenant base and low levels of capital expenditures 
to maintain their condition and appearance. 

Commercial Properties: In addition to our interest in 1,403 storage facilities, we have an interest in PSB, 
which,  as  of  December  31,  2002,  owns  and  operates  14.4  million  net  rentable  square  feet  in  eight  states.    At 
December 31, 2002, our investment in PS Business Parks represents less than 6% of our total assets based upon cost. 
The market value of our investment in PSB at December 31, 2002 of $404.6 million represents 8% of the book value 
of  our  total  assets  at  December  31,  2002  of  $4.8  billion.      We  also  directly  own  four  commercial  properties  with 
262,000 net rentable square feet, have 992,000 net rentable square feet of commercial space that is located at certain 
of the self-storage facilities, and own five industrial facilities with an aggregate of 420,000 net rentable square feet 
that are being used by the continuing containerized storage operations.  

19 

 
 
 
The  commercial  properties  owned  by  PSB  consist  of  flex  space,  office  space  and  industrial  space.    PSB 
owns approximately 10.9 million square feet of flex space, which is defined as buildings that are configured with a 
combination of part warehouse space and part office space and can be designed to fit a wide variety of uses.  The 
warehouse  component  of  the  flex  space  has  a  variety  of  uses  including  light  manufacturing  and  assembly, storage 
and  warehousing,  showroom,  laboratory,  distribution  and  research  and  development  activities.    The  office 
component  of  flex  space  is  complementary  to  the  warehouse  component  by  enabling  businesses  to  accommodate 
management and production staff in the same facility.  PSB also owns approximately 2.2 million square feet of low-
rise  suburban  office  space,  generally  either  in  business  parks  that  combine  office  and  flex  space  or  in  desirable 
submarkets  where  the  economics  of  the  market  demand  an  office  build-out,  and  approximately  1.3  million  square 
feet of industrial space that have characteristics similar to the warehouse component of the flex space.   

Environmental  Matters:  Our  practice  is  to  conduct  environmental  investigations  in  connection  with 
property acquisitions.  As a result of environmental investigations of our properties, which commenced in 1995, we 
recorded  an  amount,  which  in  management’s best estimate, will be sufficient to satisfy anticipated costs of known 
investigation  and  remediation  requirements.    Although  there  can  be  no  assurance,    we  are  not  aware  of  any 
environmental contamination of any of our facilities which individually or in the aggregate would be material to the 
Company’s overall business, financial condition, or results of operations. 

ITEM 3. 

Legal Proceedings 

Salaam, et. al v. Public Storage, Inc. (filed February 2000) (Superior Court- Sacramento County) 

The  plaintiffs  in  this  case  are  suing  the  Company  on  behalf  of  a  purported  class  of  California  resident 
property managers who claim that they were not compensated for all the hours they worked.  The named plaintiffs 
have indicated that their claims total less than $20,000 in aggregate.  This maximum potential liability can only be 
increased if a class is certified or if claims are permitted to be brought on behalf of the others under the California 
Unfair  Business  Practices  Act.    The  plaintiffs’  motion  for  class  certification  was  denied  in  August  2002;  the 
plaintiffs have appealed this denial.  This denial does not deal with the claim under the California Unfair Business 
Practices Act. 

The Company is continuing to vigorously contest the claims in this case and intends to resist any expansion 
beyond  the  named  plaintiffs  on  the  grounds  of  lack  of  commonality  of  claims.    The  Company’s  resistance  will 
include opposing the plaintiffs’ appeal of the court’s denial of class certification and opposing the claim on behalf of 
others under the California Unfair Business Practices Act. 

Henriquez v. Public Storage, Inc. (Filed June 2002; Dismissed January, 2003)(Superior Court – Los Angeles 
County) 

The  plaintiff  in  this  case  filed  a  suit  against  the  Company  on  behalf  of  a  purported  class  of  renters  who 
rented  self-storage  units  from  the  Company.  Plaintiff  alleged  that  the  Company  misrepresents  the  size  of  its  units 
and  sought  damages  and  injunctive  and  declaratory  relief  under  California  statutory  and  common  law  relating  to 
consumer  protection,  unfair  competition,  fraud  and  deceit  and  negligent  misrepresentation.  In  January  2003,  the 
plaintiff caused this suit to be dismissed. The plaintiff’s attorney has advised that he anticipates filing a similar suit 
against the Company on behalf of a new plaintiff.  However, the Company cannot presently determine the potential 
total damages, if any, or the ultimate outcome of any such litigation.  If a new suit is filed, the Company intends to 
vigorously contest any claims on which it is based.

Equity  Resource  Fund  XV  v.  Public  Storage  Inc.  (Filed  August  1997)  (Massachusetts  Superior  Court  – 
Middlesex County)  

In February 2000, the Company entered into a settlement of litigation arising out of a 1997 tender offer for 
limited partnership units in two affiliated partnerships.  Under the settlement agreement, the Company agreed to sell 
to  the  plaintiff  units  representing  a  4%  interest  in  each  of  the  partnerships  for  a  total  payment  of  approximately 
$1,523,000.    The  plaintiff  failed  to  tender  the  full  purchase  price  at  the  scheduled  closing  and  the  settlement 
collapsed. 

In  September  2000,  the  plaintiff  amended  its  complaint  to  add  a  claim  for  breach  of  the  settlement 
agreement  seeking  specific  enforcement  and  a  claim  seeking  damages  for  unfair  and  deceptive  trade  practices  in 
connection  with  the  alleged  breach.    By  amending  the  complaint  the  Company  believes  the  plaintiff  elected  to 
abandon its underlying claims in the litigation.  The Company asserted affirmative defenses including the material 
breach  by  the  plaintiff.    Cross  motions  for  summary  judgment  were  filed  by  the  parties.    In  July  2002,  the  court 
granted plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment as to its claim for breach of the settlement agreement and granted 
the Company’s motion for summary judgment to dismiss plaintiff’s claim for unfair and deceptive trade practices. 

In  March  2003,  the  court  granted  plaintiff’s  motion  to  compel  the  sale  of  the  units  to  the  plaintiff.    The 
Company is considering whether to appeal.  If the Company is compelled to sell the units to plaintiff, the Company 
would incur a loss of approximately $1,839,000, which has been accrued as a loss on sale of real estate investments 
in the Company’s income statement during 2002. 

PS Insurance Company 

In  November  2002,  a  shareholder  of  the  Company  made  a  demand  on  the  Board  of  Directors  that 
challenged the fairness of the Company’s acquisition of PS Insurance Company, Ltd. (“PSIC”) and demanded that 
the Board recover the profits earned by PSIC from November 1995 through December 2001.  The transaction, which 
had  an  acquisition  cost  of  approximately  $24.5  million,  was  approved  by  the  independent  directors  of  Board  in 
March 2001 and closed in December 2001.  PSIC was formerly owned by B. Wayne Hughes, the Chairman of the 
Board (and previously also the Chief Executive Officer) of the Company, and members of his family.  In December 
2002, the Board held a special meeting to authorize an inquiry by its independent directors to review the fairness to 
the Company’s shareholders of its acquisition of PSIC and whether the Company should be entitled to be paid by 
Mr.  Hughes  and  his  family  an  amount  equal  to  PSIC’s  profits  since  November  1995.          The  inquiry  is  currently 
ongoing.   

The  Company  is  a  party  to  various  claims,  complaints,  and  other  legal  actions  that  have  arisen  in  the 
normal course of business from time to time.  The Company believes that the outcome of these other pending legal 
proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect upon the operations or financial portion of the 
Company.

ITEM 4A. 

Executive Officers of the Company 

The following is a biographical summary of the current executive officers of the Company: 

21 

 
 
Ronald L. Havner, Jr., age 45, was appointed Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company

Dividends 

We  have  paid  quarterly  distributions  to  our  shareholders  since  1981,  our  first  full  year  of 
operations.    Overall  distributions  on  Common  Stock  for  2002  amounted  to  $209.1  million  or  $1.80  per 
share. 

Holders  of  Common  Stock  are  entitled  to  receive  distributions  when  and  if  declared  by  the 
Company’s  Board  of  Directors  out  of  any  funds  legally  available  for  that  purpose.    We  are  required  to 
distribute at least 90% of our net taxable ordinary income prior to the filing of the Company’s tax return 
and 85%, subject to certain adjustments, during the calendar year, to maintain our REIT status for federal 
income tax purposes.  It is our intention to pay distributions of not less than this required amount. 

For  Federal  tax  purposes,  distributions  to  shareholders  are  treated  as  ordinary  income,  capital 
gains, return of capital or a combination thereof. For 2002, the dividends paid to the common shareholders 
($1.80  per  share),  on  all  the  various  classes  of  preferred  stock,  and  on  our  Equity  Stock,  Series  A  were 
characterized as 100% ordinary income.    

For  2001,  the  dividends  paid  to  the  common  shareholders  ($1.69  per  share),  on  all  the  various 
classes of preferred stock and on Equity Stock, Series A were characterized as ordinary income and long-
term capital gain. The quarterly breakdown is as follows:

Equity Stock 

The  Company  is  authorized  to  issue  200,000,000  shares  of  Equity  Stock.    The  Articles  of 
Incorporation  provide  that  the  Equity  Stock  may  be  issued  from  time  to  time  in  one  or  more  series  and 
gives  the  Board  of  Directors  broad  authority  to  fix  the  dividend  and  distribution  rights,  conversion  and 
voting rights, redemption provisions and liquidation rights of each series of Equity Stock. 

In  April  2001,  the  Company  completed  a  public  offering  of  2,210,500  depositary  shares  each 
representing  1/1,000  of  a  share  of  Equity  Stock,  Series  A,  (“Equity  Stock  A”)  raising  net  proceeds  of 
approximately  $51,836,000.  In  May  2001,  the  Company  completed  a  direct  placement  of  830,000 
depositary  shares,  raising  net  proceeds  of  approximately  $20,294,000.  In  November  2001,  the  Company 
completed  a  direct  placement  of  100,000  depositary  shares,  raising  net  proceeds  of  approximately 
$2,690,000.  In January 2000, we issued 4,300,555 depositary shares (2,200,555 shares as part of a special 
distribution  declared  on  November  15,  1999  and  2,100,000  shares  in  a  separate  public  offering).    In 
addition, in the second quarter of 2000, we issued 52,547 depositary shares to a related party in connection 
with the acquisition of real estate facilities.   In December 2000, we issued 1,282,500 depositary shares in a 
public  offering.    All  of  the  issuances  of the depositary shares described in this paragraph were registered 
under the Securities Act at the time of issuance.  

At  December  31,  2002,  we  had  8,776,102  depositary  shares  outstanding,  each  representing 
1/1,000 of a share of Equity Stock A.  The Equity Stock A ranks on a parity with common stock and junior 
to  the  Senior  Preferred  Stock  with  respect  to  distributions  and  liquidation  and  has  a  liquidation  amount 
which  cannot  exceed  $24.50  per  share.    Distributions  with  respect  to  each  depositary  share  shall  be  the 
lesser  of:  a)  five  times  the  per  share  dividend  on  the  Common  Stock  or  b)  $2.45  per  annum.    Except  in 
order to preserve the Company’s federal income tax status as a REIT, we may not redeem the depositary 
shares before March 31, 2010.  On or after March 31, 2010, we may, at our option, redeem the depositary 
shares at $24.50 per depositary share.  If the Company fails to preserve its federal income tax status as a 
REIT,  each  depositary  share  will  be  convertible  into  .956  shares  of  our  common  stock.    The  depositary 
shares are otherwise not convertible into common stock.  Holders of depositary shares vote as a single class 
with our holders of common stock on shareholder matters, but the depositary shares have the equivalent of 
one-tenth  of  a  vote  per  depositary  share.    We  have  no  obligation  to  pay  distributions  on  the  depositary 
shares if no distributions are paid to common shareholders. 

In  June  1997,  we  contributed  $22,500,000  (225,000  shares)  of  equity  stock,  now  designated  as 
Equity Stock, Series AA (“Equity Stock AA”) to a partnership in which we are the general partner.  As a 
result of this contribution, we obtained a controlling interest in the partnership and began to consolidate the 
accounts of the partnership and therefore the equity stock is eliminated in consolidation. The Equity Stock 
AA ranks on a parity with Common Stock and junior to the Senior Preferred Stock with respect to general 
preference rights and has a liquidation amount of ten times the amount paid to each Common Share up to a 
maximum  of  $100  per  share.    Quarterly  distributions  per  share  on  the  Equity  Stock  AA  are  equal  to  the 
lesser  of  (i)  10  times  the  amount  paid  per  Common  Stock  or  (ii)  $2.20.    We  have  no  obligation  to  pay 
distributions if no distributions are paid to common shareholders. 

In  November  1999,  we  sold  $100,000,000  (4,289,544  shares)  of  Equity  Stock,  Series  AAA 
(“Equity Stock AAA”) to a newly formed joint venture.  We control the joint venture and consolidate the 
accounts  of  the  joint  venture,  and  accordingly  the  Equity  Stock  AAA  is  eliminated  in  consolidation.  The 
Equity  Stock  AAA  ranks  on  a  parity  with  common  stock  and  junior  to  the  Senior  Preferred  Stock  (as 
defined below) with respect to general preference rights, and has a liquidation amount equal to 120% of the 
amount distributed to each common share.  Annual distributions per share are equal to the lesser of (i) five 
times the amount paid per common share or (ii) $2.1564. We have no obligation to pay distributions if no 
distributions are paid to common shareholders.

(2)  During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2002,  the  Company  adopted  a  business  plan  that  included  the  closure  of  certain  non-
strategic  containerized  storage  facilities  (the  “Closed  Facilities.”).    The  historical  operations  of  the  Closed  Facilities  are 
classified as discontinued operations, with the rental income, cost of operations, and depreciation expense with respect to these 
facilities  for  current  and  prior  periods  included  in  the  line-item  “Discontinued  Operations  –  Containerized  Storage”  on  the 
income  statement.      Also,  during  2002,  we  sold  one  of  our  commercial  facilities  and  classified  its  historical  operations  as 
discontinued operations, with the rental income, cost of operations, and depreciation expense with respect to this facility for 
current and prior periods included in the line-item “Discontinued Operations” on the income statement.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

The  following  discussion  and  analysis  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  our  consolidated  financial 

statements and notes thereto.  

Forward  Looking  Statements:  When  used  within  this  document,  the  words  “expects,”  “believes,” 
“anticipates,”  “should,”  “estimates,”  and  similar  expressions  are  intended  to identify “forward-looking statements” 
within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, and in Section 
21F  of  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934,  as  amended.    Such  forward-looking  statements  involve  known  and 
unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which may cause the actual results and performance of the Company 
to  be  materially  different  from  those  expressed  or  implied  in  the  forward  looking  statements.    Such  factors  are 
described  in  Item  1A,  “Risk  Factors”  and  include  changes  in  general  economic  conditions  and  in  the  markets  in 
which the Company operates and the impact of competition from new and existing storage and commercial facilities 
and  other  storage  alternatives,  which  could  impact  rents  and  occupancy  levels  at  the  Company’s  facilities; 
difficulties  in  the  Company’s  ability  to  evaluate,  finance  and  integrate  acquired  and  developed  properties  into  the 
Company’s  existing  operations  and  to  fill  up  those  properties,  which  could  adversely  affect  the  Company’s 
profitability;  the  impact  of  the  regulatory  environment  as  well  as  national,  state,  and  local  laws  and  regulations 
including, without limitation, those governing Real Estate Investment Trusts, which could increase the Company’s 
expense  and  reduce  the  Company’s  cash  available  for  distribution;  consumers’  failure  to  accept  the  containerized 
storage  concept  which  would  reduce  the Company’s profitability; difficulties in raising capital at reasonable rates, 
which  would  impede  the  Company’s  ability  to  grow;  delays  in  the  development  process,  which  could  adversely 
affect the Company’s profitability; and economic uncertainty due to the impact of war or terrorism could adversely 
affect  our  business  plan.    We  disclaim  any  obligation  to  publicly  release  the  results  of  any  revisions  to  these 
forward-looking statements reflecting new estimates, events or circumstances after the date of this report.  

Critical Accounting Policies 

Qualification as a REIT – Income Tax Expense:  We believe that we have been organized and operated, 
and  we  intend  to  continue  to  operate,  as  a  qualifying  REIT  under  the  Internal  Revenue  Code  and applicable state 
laws.    A  qualifying  REIT  generally  does  not  pay  corporate  level  income  taxes  on  its  taxable  income  that  is 
distributed to its shareholders, and accordingly, we do not pay or record as an expense income tax on the share of 
our taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. 

Given  the  complex  nature  of  the  REIT  qualification  requirements,  the  ongoing  importance  of  factual 
determinations and the possibility of future changes in our circumstances, we cannot provide any assurance that we 
actually  have  satisfied  or will satisfy the requirements for taxation as a REIT for any particular taxable year.  For 
any taxable year that we fail or have failed to qualify as a REIT and applicable relief provisions did not apply, we 
would  be  taxed  at  the  regular  corporate  rates  on  all  of  our  taxable  income,  whether  or  not  we  made  or  make  any 
distributions to our shareholders.  Any resulting requirement to pay corporate income tax, including any applicable 
penalties or interest, could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations.  Unless 
entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions, we also would be disqualified from taxation as a REIT for the 
four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost.  There can be no assurance that we would 
be entitled to any statutory relief. 

26 

 
 
Impairment  of  Long  Lived  Assets:    Substantially  all  of  our  assets  consist  of  long-lived  assets,  including 
real  estate,  assets  associated  with  the  containerized  storage  business,  goodwill,  and  other  intangible  assets.    We 
quarterly  evaluate  our  long-lived  assets  for  impairment.  As  described  in  Note  2  to  the  consolidated  financial 
statements,  the  evaluation  of  goodwill  for  impairment  entails  valuation  of  the  reporting  unit  to  which  goodwill  is 
allocated,  which  involves  significant  judgment  in  the  area  of  projecting  earnings,  determining  appropriate  price-
earnings multiples, and discount rates.   In addition, the evaluation of other long-lived assets for impairment requires 
determining  whether  indicators  of  impairment  exist,  which  is  a  subjective  process.    When  any  indicators  of 
impairment are found, the evaluation of such long-lived assets then entails projections of future operating cashflows, 
which  also  involves  significant  judgment.    We  have  identified  no  such  impairments  at  December  31,  2002,  other 
than  those  denoted  with  respect  to  the  containerized  storage  activities.    However,  future  events,  or  facts  and 
circumstances that currently exist that we have not yet identified, could cause us to conclude in the future that our 
long lived assets are impaired.  Any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on our financial 
condition and results of operations. 

Estimated Useful Lives of Long-Lived Assets:  Substantially all of our assets consist of depreciable, long-
lived  assets.    We  record  depreciation  expense with respect to these assets based upon their estimated useful lives.  
Any  change  in  the  estimated  useful  lives  of  those  assets,  caused  by  functional  or  economic  obsolescence  or  other 
factors, could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations. 

Estimated  level  of  Retained  Risk  liabilities:  As  described  in  Note  2  to  the  consolidated  financial 
statements, we retain certain risks with respect to property perils, legal liability, and other such risks.  In connection 
with  our  retention  of  these  risks,  we  accrue  losses based upon our estimated level of losses incurred using certain 
actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry and based upon our experience.   While we believe that the 
amounts  of  the  accrued  losses  are  adequate,  the  ultimate  liability  may  be  in  excess  of  or  less  than  the  amounts 
provided. 

Accruals for Contingencies: We are exposed to business and legal liability risks with respect to events that 
have  occurred,  but  in  accordance  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States,  we  have  not 
accrued for such potential liabilities because the loss is either not probable or not estimable or because we are not 
aware of the event.   Future events and the result of pending litigation could result in such potential losses becoming 
probable  and  estimable,  which  could  have  a  material  adverse  impact  on  our  financial  condition  or  results  of 
operations.      Some  of  these  potential  losses,  which  we  are  aware  of, are described in Note 16 to the consolidated 
financial statements.   

Accruals for Operating Expenses:  We accrue for property tax expense and other operating expenses based 
upon estimates and historical trends and current and anticipated local and state government rules and regulations.  If 
these estimates and assumptions are incorrect, our expenses could be misstated. 

Overview:  The  self-storage  industry  is  highly  fragmented  and  is  composed  predominantly  of  numerous 
local and regional operators.  Competition in the markets in which we operate is significant and has increased over 
the  past  several  years  due  to  additional  development  of  self-storage  facilities.  We  believe  that  the  increase  in 
competition  has  had  a  negative  impact  to  our  occupancy  levels  and  rental  rates  in  many  markets.    However,  we 
believe that we possess several distinguishing characteristics that enable us to compete effectively with other owners 
and operators.   

We are the largest owner and operator of self-storage facilities in the United States with ownership interests 
as of December 31, 2002 in 1,403 self-storage facilities containing approximately 84.5 million net rentable square 
feet.  All  of  our  facilities  are  operated  under  the  “Public  Storage”  brand  name,  which  we  believe  is  the  most 
recognized  and  established  name  in  the  self-storage  industry.    Located  in  the  major  metropolitan  markets  of  37 
states,  our  self-storage  facilities  are  geographically  diverse,  giving  us  national  recognition  and  prominence.  This 
concentration establishes us as one of the dominant providers of storage space in most markets in which we operate 
and  enables  us  to  use  a  variety  of  promotional  activities,  such  as  television  advertising  as  well  as  targeted 
discounting and referrals, which are generally not economically viable to most of our competitors.  In addition, we 
believe  that  the  geographic  diversity  of  the  portfolio  reduces  the  impact  from  regional  economic  downturns  and 
provides a greater degree of revenue stability. 

27 

 
 
We will continue to focus our growth strategies on: (i) improving the operating performance of our existing 
self-storage  properties,  (ii)  increasing  our  ownership  of  self-storage  facilities,  (iii)  improving  the  operating 
performance  of our containerized storage business, and (iv) participating in the growth of PS Business Parks, Inc. 
(“PSB”).  Major elements of these strategies are as follows:  

•  We  will  focus  on  enhancing  the  operating  performance  of  our  self-storage  properties,  primarily 
through  increases  in  revenues  achieved  through  the  telephone  reservation  center  and  associated 
marketing efforts.  However, during 2002, the Consistent Group of facilities (defined below) exhibited 
reductions  in  rental  income  and  net  operating  income  before  depreciation  of  3.3%  and  5.7%, 
respectively, over the prior year.  We believe that these reductions were attributable to the impact of 
changes  in  our  marketing  strategy  as  well  as  to  general  economic  conditions.    See  “Self-Storage 
Operations  –  Consistent  Group  of  Facilities”  for  further  discussion.    We  expect  future  increases  in 
rental income to come from increases in occupancy and increases in realized rent, although there can 
be no assurance. 

•  We expect to continue our development program, though at a level of development that is lower than 
that experienced in the last three years.  Over the past four years, the Company and the Consolidated 
Development  Joint  Venture  has  developed  and  opened  a  total  of  66  storage  facilities  at  a  cost  of 
approximately $421.2 million, containing approximately 4,905,000 net rentable square feet.  We have 
a  total  of  38  projects  identified  for  openings  after  December  31,  2002  at  an  estimated  total  cost  of 
$199.8  million.    These  38  projects  are  comprised  of  22  self-storage  facilities  and  expansions  of  16 
existing self-storage facilities.  

•  We  will  acquire  facilities  from  third  parties.    This  activity  has  not  contributed  significantly  to  our 
growth over the past three years, as we have acquired only 17 self-storage facilities from third parties.  
We  believe  that  our  national  telephone  reservation  system  and  marketing  organization  present  an 
opportunity  for  increased  revenues  through  higher  occupancies  of  the  properties  acquired  from  third 
parties, as well as cost efficiencies through greater critical mass. 

•  We  will  attempt  to  continue  to  acquire  self-storage  facilities  from  affiliates  or  interests  in  affiliated 
entities that own self-storage facilities which we manage, as they become available from time to time.  
The pool of such available acquisitions has continued to decrease as we have acquired such remaining 
interests over the last several years.  

•  We will continue to focus on improving the operations of the containerized storage operations.  Over 
the  last  three  years,  we  have  developed  facilities  that  combine  containerized  storage  and  traditional 
self-storage.    These  facilities  have  replaced  facilities  previously  leased  from  third  parties,  thereby 
reducing third-party lease expense. During 2002, we identified 22 containerized storage facilities that 
no  longer  fit  into  our  business  plan  going  forward.  These  22  facilities  have  been  or  will  be  closed 
thereby  reducing  the  number  of  containerized  facilities  from  55  to  33  facilities.    We  continue  to 
evaluate the optimum level of containerized facility operations in each market in which we operate and 
may close additional facilities during 2003. In addition, we continue to refine the operating model of 
the containerized storage business. 

•  Through  our  investment  in  PSB,  we  will  continue  to  participate  in  the  growth  of  this  company’s 
investment  in  approximately  14.4  million  net  rentable  square  feet  of  commercial  space  at  December 
31, 2002.

Results of Operations 

Net income: Net income was $318,738,000 for 2002 compared to $324,208,000 for 2001, representing a 
decrease  of  1.7%.  The  decrease  in  net  income  was  caused  primarily  by  a  decrease  in  the  operating  results  of  our 
Consistent  Group  of  self-storage  properties,  increased  depreciation  expense  resulting  primarily  from  new  property 
additions, and charges relating to the planned closure of several containerized storage facilities.  The impact of these 
items  was  partially  offset  by  increased  earnings  generated  by  the  acquisition  of  additional  real  estate  investments 
during  2001  and  2002,  the  earnings  generated  by  the  tenant  reinsurance  business  that  was  acquired  at  the  end  of 
2001, reduced general and administrative expense, and a decrease in income allocated to minority interests. 

Net  income  was  $324,208,000  for  2001  compared  to $297,088,000 for 2000, representing an increase of 
9.1%.  The  increase  was  primarily  the  result  of  improved  operating  results  of  our  Consistent  Group  self-storage 
properties, reduced operating losses from the containerized storage business and increased earnings generated by the 
acquisition  of  additional  real  estate  investments  during  2000  and  2001.    The  impact  of  these  items  was  offset 
partially by an increased allocation of income to minority combined with an increase in depreciation expense during 
2001 resulting from new property additions during 2000 and 2001. 

Net income per share: Net income was $1.19 per common share, on a diluted basis, for 2002 compared to 
$1.51  per  common  share  for  2001.  In  addition to those factors denoted above with respect to the reduction in net 
income in 2002, net income per share, on a diluted basis, decreased due to (i) an increase in net income allocated to 
both our preferred and Equity Stock, Series A shareholders and (ii) an increase in weighted average diluted common 
shares outstanding.  Diluted weighted average common equivalent shares outstanding totaled 124,571,000 for 2002 
compared to 123,577,000 for 2001.  

Net  income  was  $1.51  per  common  share,  on  a  diluted  basis,  for  2001  compared  to  $1.41  per  common 
share in 2000. This increase was due to the same factors denoted above with respect to the increase in net income in 
2001  combined  with  a  decrease  in  weighted  average  shares  outstanding  due  to  our  common  share  repurchase 
activities,  offset  partially  by  an  increase  in  net  income  allocated  to  both  our  preferred  and  Equity  Stock,  A 
shareholders. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding decreased from 131,657,000 in 2000 to 123,577,000 in 
2001, as a result of the impact of common share repurchases in 2001. 

In  computing  net  income  allocable  to  common  shareholders  for  each  period,  aggregate  dividends  paid  to 
the  holders  of  the  Equity  Stock,  Series  A  and  preferred  equity  securities  have  been  deducted  in  determining  net 
income  allocable  to  the  common  shareholders.    Distributions  paid  to  the  holders  of  the  Equity  Stock,  Series  A 
totaled  $21,501,000  in  2002,  $19,455,000  in  2001  and  $11,042,000  in  2000.  Distributions  paid  to  our  preferred 
shareholders totaled $148,926,000 in 2002, $117,979,000 in 2001 and $100,138,000 in 2000. 

Real Estate Operations 

Self  -  Storage  Operations:  Our  self-storage  operations  are  by  far  the largest component of our operating 
activities, representing approximately 91% of our revenues generated during 2002.  Rental income, with respect to 
our self-storage operations, has grown from $653,110,000 in 2000 to $721,662,000 in 2001, representing an increase 
of 10.5%. In 2002, rental income grew to $763,287,000, representing an increase of 5.8% as compared to 2001.  The 
year over year improvements in rental income include changes in the performance of those properties that we owned 
throughout  the  three  year  period  and  the  increase  in  the  number  of  properties  in  our  portfolio  either  through  our 
acquisition or development activities. 

At  the  end  of  1999,  we  had  a  total  of  1,202  self-storage  facilities  included  in  our  consolidated  financial 
statements.  Since that time we have increased the number of self-storage facilities by 165 (2000 - 40 facilities, 2001 
-  22  facilities and 2002 - 103 facilities). To enhance year over year comparisons, the following table summarizes, 
and the ensuing discussion describes, the self-storage operating results based upon the following categories: 

(i) 

1,152  self-storage  facilities  that  are  reflected  in  the  financial  statements  on  a  stabilized  basis for 
the entire three years ended December 31, 2002 (the “Consistent Group”),  

29 

 
 
(ii) 

66 development facilities that were opened since January 1, 1999 (the “Developed Facilities”),  

(iii) 

(iv) 

(v) 

113  facilities  that  were  acquired  in  the  three  years  ended  December  31,  2002  (the  “Acquired 
Facilities”),  

36  facilities  that  were owned throughout the three years ended December 31, 2002 but were not 
stabilized, (the “Expansion Facilities”), and  

one facility that was disposed of during the three years ended December 31, 2002 (the “Disposed 
Facility”):

the  three  years  ended  December  31,  2002,  and  operated  at  a  mature,  stabilized  occupancy  level  throughout  the  periods 
presented. 

(c)  The Acquired Facilities includes 113 facilities containing 6,652,000 net rentable square feet that were acquired in the three

(d)  The Expansion Facilities includes 36 facilities containing 3,770,000 net rentable square feet (of which 817,000 square feet is 
industrial space developed for containerized storage activities). These facilities were owned for the entire three year period 
ending December 31, 2002, however, year over year operating results are not comparable throughout the periods presented 
due primarily to expansions in their net rentable square or their conversion into Combination Facilities.   Such construction 
activities can cause a drop in revenue levels, as existing capacity is made unavailable in order to accommodate construction 
activities. During the three years ended December 31, 2002, we completed construction on expansion projects with a total 
cost of $121.5 million. 

(e)  The Developed Facilities includes 66 facilities containing 4,905,000 net rentable square feet (of which 878,000 square feet is 
industrial  space  for  use  in  containerized  storage  activities,  see  “Containerized  Storage”  and  “Discontinued  Operations”). 
These facilities were developed and opened since January 1, 1999 at a total cost of $421.2 million. 

(f)  The  Disposed  Facility  includes  one  facility  that  was  disposed  of  during  2001  as  a  result  of  being  condemned  by  a 

government agency. 

Self Storage Operations - Consistent Group of Facilities 

At  December  31,  2002,  we  owned  1,152  self-storage  facilities  that  have  operated  at  a  stabilized  level  of 
operations throughout the three-year period.  The Consistent Group of facilities contains approximately 67,009,000 
net rentable square feet, representing approximately 81% of the aggregate net rentable square feet of our self-storage 
portfolio.   Revenues and operating expenses with respect to this group of properties are set forth in the above Self-
Storage Operations table under the caption, “Consistent Group.”   The following table sets forth additional operating

(a)  Square foot occupancies represent weighted average occupancy levels over the entire fiscal year.   

(b)  Realized annual rent per occupied square foot is computed by dividing adjusted base rental income by the weighted average 
occupied square footage for the year.  Realized rents per square foot take into consideration promotional discounts, bad debt 
costs, credit card fees and other costs which reduce rental income from the contractual amounts due.  

(c)  Annualized revenue per available square foot represents adjusted base rental income divided by total available net rentable 

square feet.

The Consistent Group’s operating income increased 11.6% in 2001 as compared to 2000.  The Consistent 
Group’s net operating income before depreciation increased 9.3% in 2001 as compared to 2000, with rental income 
increasing  6.9%  and  cost  of  operations  increasing  1.8%.    The  6.9%  increase  in  rental  income  was  primarily  the 
result  of  higher  realized  annual  rent  per  occupied  square  foot  ($10.81  for  2001  as  compared  to  $9.85  for  2000, 
representing an increase of 9.7%), offset partially by a reduction in weighted average occupancy levels from 91.0% 
in  2000  to  88.9%  in  2001,  representing  a  2.3%  reduction  in  average  occupancy.    The  1.8%  increase  in  cost  of 
operations was due to increases in promotional and advertising expenses.  

The  Consistent  group’s  operating  income  decreased  7.0%  in  2002  as  compared  to 2001.  The Consistent 
Group’s net operating income before depreciation decreased 5.7% in 2002 as compared to 2001, with rental income 
decreasing  3.3%  and  cost  of  operations  increasing  2.1%.    The  3.3%  decrease  in  rental  income  was  primarily  the 
result  of  lower  average  occupancy  levels  which  decreased  from  88.9%  in  2001  to  85.2%  in  2002,  representing  a 
4.2%  decrease,  offset  partially  by  higher  realized  annual  rent  per  occupied  square  foot  ($10.92  for  fiscal  2002 
compared to $10.81 for fiscal 2001, representing an increase of 1.0%). The 2.1% increase in cost of operations was 
due primarily to increases in payroll, cost of managing facilities, and property taxes.  

We  attribute  the  decrease  in  operating  income  in  2002  primarily  to  a  change  in  our  operating  strategy 
during 2001 and secondarily to increased competition and economic factors, though we are not able to quantify the 
relative impact of each of these factors. 

Historically,  our  marketing strategy was to offer a variety of promotional discounts and to conservatively 
price our space to attract new tenants.  During 2000, the Consistent Group’s occupancy levels averaged 91.0%.  This 
relatively high occupancy level was attained and sustained through a variety of promotional activities offering new 
tenants  move-in  promotional  discounts  aggregating  $17.4  million  in  2000.    This  annual  level  of  discounts  was 
consistent with those given in years prior to 2000. 

In 2001, we changed our marketing strategy and began to aggressively increase rental rates and reduce the 
amount  of  promotional  discounts  offered  to  new  tenants.    We  believed  that  this  strategy  had  the  benefit  of 
significantly increasing our rental income, with the potential risk of lowering occupancy levels.  During the first nine 
months of 2001, this strategy significantly enhanced the growth in our rental income, which for the first nine months 
of  2001  was  approximately  7.0% higher than for the same period in 2000.  The downside to our more aggressive 
strategy was that our average occupancy levels during the first nine months of 2001 were approximately 2.1% below 
the  level  experienced  during  the  same  period  in  2000.    We  believed  that  the  decrease  in  occupancy  levels  was  a 
manageable reduction and was more than offset by the increase in  rental income attained through higher rental rates 
and less promotional discounting.   

During  the  fourth  quarter  of  2001,  there  was  a  rapid  decline  in  our  occupancy  levels.    This  reduction 
coincided  with  a  reduction  in  call  volume  into  our  national  telephone  reservation  center  which  we  believe  was 
attributable to the absence of any significant promotional discounts offered to tenants as well as to general economic 
conditions.  In addition, during this time frame we also experienced unusually high levels of move-out activity.  At 
September  30,  2001,  the  average  occupancy  level  of  the  Consistent  Group  of  facilities  was  89.9%  compared  to 
91.4% one year earlier, representing a reduction of 1.6%.  Three months later, at December 31, 2001, the average 
occupancy level of the Consistent Group of facilities was 85.3% compared to 88.8% one year earlier, representing a 
reduction of 3.9%.  Accordingly, the year over year negative spread in occupancy levels widened significantly from 
September 30, 2001 through December 31, 2001. 

Although we were very pleased with the rental growth experienced in fiscal 2001, we were very concerned 
about the sudden and rapid decline in our occupancy levels experienced in the fourth quarter of 2001.  This decline 
in  occupancy  levels  continued  into  fiscal  2002  as  our  average  occupancy  levels  decreased  to  83.1%  at  the  end  of 
February 2002 compared to 87.9% one year earlier, representing a reduction of 5.5%. 

33 

 
 
In  the  second  half  of  March  2002,  in  order  to  enhance  move-in  activity,  we  significantly  reduced  rental 
rates  charged  to  new  incoming  tenants  and  began  a  national  television  advertising  campaign  that  offered  a 
significant  promotional  discount  to  new  move-ins.    The  advertising  campaign  was  run  from  the  second  half  of 
March 2002 through the first half of May 2002.  The campaign resulted in increased move-in activity during April 
and May 2002 compared to the same period in the prior year and helped us improve occupancy levels.  The months 
of May through July are seasonally high rental activity months, accordingly, in the middle of May we terminated the 
advertising  campaign  and  discontinued  promotional  discounts.    Unfortunately,  we  underestimated  the  weakness  in 
demand and in the absence of significant promotional discounts, rental activity during June and July 2002 decreased 
as compared to the same periods in 2001.  Consequently, our average occupancy levels for the Consistent Group of 
facilities  continued  to  decline  relative  to  the  occupancies  experienced  in  2001.    At  the  end  of  July  2002,  our 
occupancy levels were 85.8% as compared to 91.3% at the end of July 2001, representing a reduction of 6.0%. 

Beginning in mid-August 2002 and through the remainder of the year, we reinstated a promotional discount 
program  and  advertised  on  television  in  selected  markets  in  an  effort  to  enhance  move-in  activity  and  improve 
occupancy  levels.    This  program  had  a  positive  impact  upon  move-in  activity  throughout  the  third  and  fourth 
quarters  and  helped  stabilize  our  occupancy  levels.    By  December  31,  2002,  the  reduction  in  the  year-over-year 
occupancy  levels was reduced to 1.2% (84.3% at December 31, 2002 compared to 85.3% at December 31, 2001) 
from the 6.0% year-over-year reduction that was experienced at July 31, 2002. 

Stabilizing  our  occupancy  levels  during  2002  came  with  a  significant  price.  Promotional  discounts 
increased  from  approximately  $4,910,000  in  2001  to  $16,267,000  in  2002,  resulting  in  a  negative  impact  to  our 
rental income.   

In hindsight, the aggressive rental rates and lack of promotional discounts that produced a 9.3% increase in 
our  net  operating  income  in  2001  as  compared  to  2000,  put  significant  pressure  on  our  occupancy  levels  during 
2002.  In order to reestablish our occupancy levels, we had to revert back to a marketing program that has worked in 
the  past,  namely  reasonable  rental  rates  combined  with  a  promotional  discount  program.    In  the  process  of 
reestablishing our occupancy levels during 2002, we incurred significant cost relative to 2001. These costs came in 
the  form  of  higher  discounts  given  and  increased  costs  associated  with  advertising  on  television,  resulting  in  a 
significant adverse impact to our comparative operating results. 

During 2003, we expect to continue promotional discounting and television advertising, though the level of 
such activities cannot be estimated at this time.  The up front costs of these marketing activities, and the increases in 
discounts, are expected to continue to adversely impact our operating income during 2003.   The following table sets 
forth  our  rental  income,  cost  of  television  advertising,  promotional  discounts  given,  and  average  occupancies  for 
each of the quarters in 2002, 2001 and 2000:

During  the  first  two  months  of  2003,  our  occupancy  levels,  continued  to  improve.  The  weighted  average 
occupancy  level  for  our  Consistent  Group  of  facilities  was  84.6%  at  February  28,  2003  as  compared  to  83.1%  at 
February  28,  2002,  representing  an  increase  of  1.8%.    This  increase,  however,  has  come  at  a  significant  cost.  
Television advertising for the two months ended February 28, 2003 was $785,000 as compared to $366,000 for the 
same  period  in  2002.  Promotional  discounts  for  the  two  months  ended  February  28,  2003  were  $6,821,000  as 
compared  to  only  $102,000  for  the  same  period  in  2002.    Therefore,  despite  the  increase  in  average  physical 
occupancy,  net  operating  income  for  our Consistent Group facilities was lower in the two months ended February 
28, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002.  

We are continuously evaluating our call volume, reservation activity, and move-in/move-out rates for each 
of our markets relative to our marketing activities and rental rates.  In addition, we are evaluating market supply and 
demand  factors  and  based  upon  these  analyses  we  are  continuing  to  adjust  our  marketing  activities  in  an effort to 
increase our occupancy levels and ultimately our rental income.  

Cost of Operations 

Cost of operations increased approximately 2.1% in 2002 as compared to 2001.  Cost of managing facilities 
principally  includes  payroll  related  to  supervisory  personnel  combined  with  associated  overhead  costs.    Cost  of 
managing  facilities  and  direct  property  payroll  have  increased  8.2%  and  6.9%,  respectively,  in  2002  compared  to 
2001.  These increases are principally due to adjustments to incentive compensation programs that will continue to 
have an impact in 2003.  Repairs and maintenance cost has consistently been reduced since 2000, however, we do 
not anticipate this trend to continue into 2003.  We anticipate increased repair and maintenance costs as a result of 
heavy snow in the Northeastern states and costs to remedy mold issues at several facilities in Southern states.  We 
also expect that property taxes will continue to increase into fiscal 2003.

Cost  of  operations  for  2001  increased  approximately  1.8%  as  compared  to  2000.    Advertising  and 
promotion costs, which principally includes television and yellow page advertising cost, increased 86.8% in 2001.  
Television advertising cost was approximately $7,788,000 in 2001 compared to only $76,000 in 2000.  Yellow page 
advertising cost was $7,380,000 in 2001 compared to $6,871,000 in 2000.  Promotional advertising is an important 
part  of  our  operational  strategy.    Our  advertising  activities  have  increased  customer  call  volume  into  our  national 
reservation  system,  where  one  of  our  representatives  discusses  with  the  customer  space  requirements,  price  and 
location preferences and also informs the customer of other products and services provided by the Company and its 
subsidiaries.  During 2001, we closed our telephone reservation center in Texas and aggregated all the call volume 
into  a  single  center  in  California.    As  a  result  of  the  closure,  telephone  reservation  costs  decreased  from  $11.5 
million in 2000 to $9.8 million in 2001. 

The  following  table  sets  forth  regional  trends  in  our  consistent  group  of  facilities  with  respect  to  rental 
income,  cost  of  operations,  net  operating  income,  weighted  average  occupancy  levels,  and  realized  rent  per  net 
rentable square foot.

Rental income and cost of operations for the Acquired Facilities have increased significantly in 2002 and 

2001, due to the acquisition of new facilities.  

The  2002  acquisitions  include  78  properties  acquired  from  affiliated  entities,  including  47  properties 
acquired on January 16, 2002 from an affiliated development joint venture and 31 properties acquired on January 1, 
2002  in  connection  with  business  combinations  with  two  affiliated  partnerships  (see  Note  3  to  the  consolidated 
financial statements).  The 2001 acquisition includes one facility acquired from a third party. The 2000 acquisitions 
include  13  facilities  acquired  in  business  combinations,  5  facilities  acquired  from  entities  in  which  we  had  an 
interest, and 7 facilities acquired from third parties.

Similar to our Consistent Group of facilities, the Acquired Facilities have experienced operating difficulties 
over the past year.  Marketing and promotional strategies, as described above with respect to our Consistent Group, 
were employed in 2002, and will continued to be employed in 2003 to enhance occupancy levels and rental income 
in 2003 of the Acquired Facilities. 

Self-Storage Operations - Expansion Facilities 

Throughout  the  three-year  period  ended  December  31,  2002,  we  expanded  36  self-storage  facilities  or 
converted them to Combination Facilities. These activities caused a drop in revenue levels, as existing capacity was 
made  unavailable  in  order  to  accommodate  construction  activities.  Accordingly,  the  operating  results  are  not 
comparable  in  each  of  the  three  years  ended  December  31,  2002.  At  December  31,  2002,  the  weighted  average 
occupancy level were approximately 69.4% as compared to 78.6% one year earlier.  The operating results for these 
facilities are presented in the Self-Storage Operations table above under the caption, “Expansion Facilities.”  

Depreciation expense with respect to the expansion facilities was $6,188,000 in 2002, $4,986,000 in 2001 

and $3,594,000 in 2000.  The increases in depreciation expense are due to the opening of the expanded facilities. 

These 36 facilities contain approximately 3,770,000 net rentable square feet at December 31, 2002 (which 
includes  the  expanded  space,  and  817,000  square  feet  of  industrial  space  developed  for  containerized  storage 
activities  –  see  “Containerized  Storage”  and  “Discontinued  Operations”).    The  aggregate  construction  costs  to 
complete these expansions totaled approximately $121,510,000 during the three years ended December 31, 2002.  

Self-Storage Operations –Developed Facilities 

During the past three years, we have opened 49 newly developed self-storage facilities and 17 facilities that 
contain  both  self-storage  and  portable  self-storage  at  the  same  location  (“Combination  Facilities”).    These  newly 
developed  facilities  have  an  aggregate  of  4,905,000  net  rentable  square  feet  (of  which  878,000  net  square  feet  is 
industrial  space  developed  for  containerized  storage  activities  –  see  “Containerized  Storage”  and  “Discontinued 
Operations”). Aggregate development cost for these 66 facilities was approximately $421.2 million. The operating 
results  of  the  self-storage  facilities  and  Combination  facilities  are  reflected  in  the  Self-Storage  Operations  table 
under the caption, “Developed Facilities.”

Unlike many other forms of real estate, we are unable to pre-lease our newly developed facilities due to the 
nature  of  our  tenants.    Accordingly,  at  the  time  a  newly  developed  facility  first  opens  for  operation  the  facility  is 
entirely  vacant  generating  no  rental  income.    Historically,  we  estimated  that  on  average  it  took  approximately  24 
months for a newly developed facility to fill up and reach a targeted occupancy level of approximately 90%.  We 
believe  that  the  current  economic  environment  has  extended  the  fill-up  period  beyond  24  months  notwithstanding 
our marketing efforts to enhance the fill-up process. 

Similar  to  our  Consistent  Group  of  facilities,  the  newly  developed  self-storage  facilities  participated  in 
promotional  discounting  and  advertising  activities  to  enhance  occupancy  levels.    During  2002,  the  Newly-
Developed Facilities had a weighted average occupancy level of approximately 51.6%. 

Property operating expenses are substantially fixed, consisting primarily of payroll, property taxes, utilities, 
and marketing costs.  The rental revenue of a newly developed facility will generally not cover its property operating 
expenses  (excluding  depreciation)  until  the  facility  has  reach  an  occupancy  level  of  approximately  30%  to  34%.  
However,  at  that  occupancy  level,  the  rental  revenues  from  the  facility  are  still  not  sufficient  to  cover  related 
depreciation expense and cost of capital with respect to the facility’s development cost.  During construction of the 
self-storage facility, we capitalize interest costs and include such cost as part of the overall development cost of the 
facility.  Once the facility is opened for operations interest is no longer capitalized.   

41 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Due  to  the  relationship  between  the  generation  of  rental  income  and  immediate  recognition  of  expenses 
upon opening of a facility, our development activities have had a negative impact on our net income.  We estimate 
that our net income has been negatively impacted by approximately $29,016,000, $21,416,000, and $8,352,000 in 
the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively, as a result of the difference between the revenues 
generated  by  the  Developed  Facilities  and  the  related  operating  costs  denoted  above.    These  amounts  include 
approximately  $10,623,000,  $7,246,000,  and  $869,000  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2002,  2001  and  2000, 
respectively, in depreciation expense. 

We  continue  to  develop  facilities,  despite  the  short-term  earnings  dilution  experienced  during  the  fill-up 
period,  because  we  believe that the ultimate returns on developed facilities are favorable.  In addition, we believe 
that it is advantageous for us to continue to expand our asset base and benefit from the resultant increased critical 
mass, with facilities that will improve our portfolio’s overall average construction and location quality.  

We expect that over at least the next 24 months, the Developed Facilities will continue to have a negative 
impact to our earnings, however, to a much lesser degree than experienced in 2002.  Furthermore, the 38 expansion 
and  newly  developed  facilities  in  our  development  pipeline  described  in  “Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources  – 
Acquisition and Development of Facilities” that will be opened for operation over the next 12 – 24 months will also 
negatively impact our earnings until they reach a stabilized occupancy level. 

Commercial Property Operations: Commercial property operations included in our consolidated financial 
statements include commercial space owned by the Company and entities consolidated by the Company.  We have a 
much  larger  interest  in  commercial  properties  through  our  ownership  interest  in  PSB.    Our  investment  in  PSB  is 
accounted  for  on  the  equity  method  of  accounting,  and  accordingly  our  share  of  PSB’s  earnings  is  reflected  as 
“Equity in earnings of real estate entities”, see below. 

Our commercial operations are comprised of 992,000 net rentable commercial space operated at certain of 
the  self-storage  facilities  and  three  stand-alone  commercial  facilities  having  a  total  of  195,000  net rentable square 
feet.  In addition, we own an industrial building with 67,000 net rentable square feet that was opened in 2001 at a 
total cost of $9,993,000.  This facility was previously used by our containerized storage operations and is currently 
being evaluated for repurposing or disposition.

The decrease in rental income in 2002 as compared to 2001 is due primarily to a vacancy in one of the three 
stand-alone  commercial  facilities,  which  cause  a  reduction  in  rental  income  of  approximately  $1.2  million  during 
2002. 

During 2002, we sold one of our commercial facilities to a third party for an aggregate $3.9 million in cash.  
The  historical  operations  with  respect  to  this  facility  are  classified  as  “Discontinued  Operations”  in  our  income 
statement and are not included in the above table.

Containerized  Storage  Operations:    In  August  1996,  Public  Storage  Pickup  &  Delivery  (“PSPUD”),  a 
subsidiary of the Company, made its initial entry into the containerized storage business through its acquisition of a 
single facility operator located in Irvine, California.  At December 31, 2001, PSPUD had 55 facilities that had been 
opened between 1996 and 2001 either through development or leasing of facilities.   During 2002, we reevaluated 
our  operational  strategy  and  closed,  or  are  in  the  process  of  closing,  22  facilities  (the  “Closed  Facilities”).    At 
December 31, 2002,  PSPUD operated 33 facilities in 11 states, which  are located in major markets in which we 
have significant market presence with respect to our traditional self-storage facilities. The operations with respect to 
the Closed Facilities, including historical operating results for previous periods, are not included in the table below 
and instead are included in Discontinued Operations.  PSPUD’s operations, which exclude the Closed Facilities, are 
reflected on the table below:

(a)  Includes  an  asset  impairment  charge  recorded  in  the  amount  of  $750,000  in  2002,  with  respect  to  machinery  and 
equipment of the containerized storage facilities that remain open, because such equipment is no longer required based 
upon  our  current  operating  plan.    The  amounts  for  2001  and  2000,  include  container  obsolescence  charges  in  the 
amount of $555,000 and $1,226,000, respectively. 

(b)  Depreciation expense principally relates to the depreciation related to the containers, however, depreciation expense for 
2002, 2001 and 2000 includes $1,098,000,  $711,000, and $337,000, respectively, with respect to real estate facilities.  

Rental  and  other  income  includes  monthly  rental  charges  to  customers  for  storage  of  the  containers  and 
service  fees  charged  for  pickup  and  delivery  of  containers  to  customers’  homes.    Rental  income  increased  to 
$37,776,000 in 2002 as compared to $34,212,000 in 2000 as a result of higher per container rents and an increase in 
the number of occupied containers.  At December 31, 2002, there were approximately 63,582 occupied containers in 
the  33  facilities  that  are  reflected  in  “ongoing”  operations.  We  continue  to  evaluate  the  business  operations  and 
additional facilities may be closed. 

Direct operating costs principally includes payroll, equipment lease expense, utilities and vehicle expenses 
(fuel and insurance).  During 2002, an asset impairment charge was recorded in the amount of $750,000 with respect 
to machinery and equipment of the containerized storage facilities that remain open because such equipment is no 
longer required based upon our current operating plan. 

Over the past three years, facility lease expense has continued to decrease ($ 2,534,000 in 2002, $5,017,000 
in  2001  and  $7,766,000  in  2000).    The  reduction  over  the  past  three  years  is  principally  the  result  of  moving  the 
operations  from  leased  facilities  to  wholly-owned  facilities,  and  thus  eliminating  the  lease  expense  paid  to  third 
parties.   

At  December  31,  2002,  nine  of  the  33  containerized  storage  facilities  are  leased  from  third  parties.    The 
remaining  24  facilities  were  operated  in  facilities  owned  by  the  Company,  comprised  of  19  combination  facilities 
with  an  aggregate  of  994,000  square  feet  of  industrial  space  (this  square  footage  is  a  component  of  the  total  net 
rentable  square  footage  of  the  Expansion  Facilities  and  the  Developed  Facilities  in  the  table  above)  and  five 
industrial facilities having an aggregate of 420,000 net rentable square feet.

The containerized storage operations may continue to adversely impact our future earnings and cash flows. 
There can be no assurance as to the level of the containerized storage business’s expansion, level of gross rentals, 
level of move-outs or profitability. 

See “Discontinued Operations” below for a discussion of operating results of the Closed Facilities.  

Tenant Reinsurance Operations:  On December 31, 2001, we acquired PS Insurance Company, Ltd. (“PS 
Insurance”)  from  a  related  party.    PS  Insurance  reinsures  policies  against  losses  to goods stored by tenants in our 
self-storage  facilities.    Effective  January  1,  2002,  the  operations  of  PS  Insurance  are  included  in  the  income 
statement  under  “Revenues  –  tenant  reinsurance  premiums”  and  “Cost  of  operations  –  tenant  reinsurance.”    The 
tenant  reinsurance  business  earned  $19,947,000  in  revenues  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2002  and  incurred 
$9,411,000 in operating expenses, generating a net operating profit of $10,536,000.   

The  level  of  tenant  reinsurance  revenues  is  largely  dependent  upon  our  occupancy  level  and  move-in 
activity.    As  of  December  31,  2002,  approximately  37%  of  our  self-storage  tenant  base  have  such  policies.    New 
insurance business comes from tenants who sign up for insurance as they move into our self-storage facilities. 

We have outside third-party insurance coverage for losses from any individual event that exceeds a loss of 
$500,000, to a limit of $10,000,000.  Losses below these amounts are recorded as cost of operations for the tenant 
reinsurance operations. 

Equity in earnings of real estate entities: In addition to our ownership of equity interests in PSB, we had 
general and limited partnership interests in seven limited partnerships at December 31, 2002 (PSB and the limited 
partnerships are collectively referred to as the “Unconsolidated Entities”).  Due to our limited ownership interest and 
limited control of these entities, we do not consolidate the accounts of these entities for financial reporting purposes, 
and account for such investments using the equity method.  

Equity  in  earnings  of  real  estate  entities  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2002  consists  of  our  pro  rata 
share  of  the  Unconsolidated  Entities  based  upon  our  ownership  interest  for  the  period.      The  following  table  sets 
forth the significant components of equity in earnings of real estate entities:

(1)   Amounts include our pro rata share of the earnings for the Development Joint Venture.  In 2002, we acquired a controlling 
interest in this partnership and began to consolidate the operations of this partnership, and no longer account for our interest 
in these partnerships using the equity method (see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements).  

(2)   Amounts include our pro rata share of the earnings for two partnerships.  In 2002, we acquired a controlling interest in and 
began to consolidate the operating results of these partnerships.  Accordingly, we no longer account for our interest in these 
partnerships  using  the  equity  method  (see  Note  3  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements)  effective  January  1,  2002.    In 
addition, for 2000, these amounts include our pro rata share of earnings with respect to an investment prior to its disposal in 
2000 and a partnership prior to its consolidation in 2000. 

(3)   Amounts  include  equity  in  earnings  recorded  for  investments  that  have  been  held  consistently  throughout  the  three  years 

ended December 31, 2002. 

(4)   “Other” reflects our share of general and administrative expense, interest expense, interest income, and other non-property, 

non-depreciation related operating results of these entities.  

(5)   These  amounts  include  our  pro-rata  share  of  gain  on  disposition  of  real  estate  investments  totaling  $3,737,000  and 
$3,210,000, respectively, during 2002 and 2000.  These gains are included in the line item “Gain on disposition of real estate 
and real estate investments” on our consolidated statements of income. 

The  decrease  in  equity  in  earnings  of  real  estate entities when comparing 2002 to 2001, is caused by the 
consolidation  of  the  Development  Joint  Venture  and  two  additional  partnerships  (as  discussed  in  Note  3  to  the 
consolidated  financial  statements),  partially  offset  by  our  pro-rata  share  of  PSB’s  gain  on  sale  of  real  estate 
investments totaling $3,737,000 for 2002. 

Equity in earnings of PSB represents our pro rata share (approximately 44% at December 31, 2002) of the 
earnings of PS Business Parks, Inc., a publicly traded real estate investment trust (American Stock Exchange symbol 
“PSB”) organized by the Company on January 2, 1997.  As of December 31, 2002, we owned 5,418,273 common 
shares and 7,305,355 operating partnership units (units which are convertible into common shares on a one-for-one 
basis) in PSB.  At December 31, 2002, PSB owned and operated 14.4 million net rentable square feet of commercial 
space located in nine states.  PSB also manages approximately 992,000 net rentable square feet of commercial space 
owned by the Company and affiliated entities at December 31, 2002 pursuant to property management agreements.    

Accordingly, our future equity income from PSB will be dependent entirely upon PSB’s operating results.   

PSB’s filings and selected financial information can be accessed through the Securities and Exchange Commission, 
and on its website, www.psbusinessparks.com.  

Equity  in  earnings  of  entities  that  we  either  no  longer  hold  at  December  31,  2002,  or  which  were 
consolidated  in  the  three  years  ended  December  31,  2002,  are  included  in  the  line-item “Newly Consolidated and 
Disposed Investments.”   

On January 16, 2002, we acquired the remaining 70% ownership interest in the Development Joint Venture 
for  cash  totaling  approximately  $153,078,000.    As  a  result,  we  began  consolidating  the  operating  results  of  the 
Development Joint Venture and no further equity in earnings will be recorded with respect to this entity for periods 
after January 16, 2002.  Effective January 1, 2002 (see Note 3 to the financial statements), we began consolidating 
the operating results of two other partnerships and no longer record equity in these entity’s earnings with respect to 
our investments in these partnerships.  Effective September 15, 2001, we acquired the interest we didn’t own in a 
partnership owning 13 real estate facilities for an aggregate of $81,169,000, and began consolidating the operating 
results of this entity.  During 2000, we disposed of an investment in a publicly-held real estate investment trust for 
an aggregate of $47,875,000.  Our earnings with respect our interests in these entities are included in the table above 
in the line “Acquired Partnerships.”  No further equity in earnings will be recorded with respect to these entities for 
periods after their respective dates of consolidation or disposal. 

45 

 
 
The “Other Investments” includes our equity in earnings with respect to our pro-rata share of earnings with 
respect to seven limited partnerships, for which we held an approximately consistent level of equity interest during 
the  three  years  ended  December  31,  2002.    These  limited  partnerships  were  formed  by  the  Company  during  the 
1980’s.  The Company is the general partner in each limited partnership, and manages each of these facilities for a 
management fee that is included in “interest and other income.”  The limited partners consist of numerous individual 
investors,  including  the  Company,  which  throughout  the  1990’s  acquired  units  of  limited  partnership  interests  in 
these limited partnerships in various transactions.   

Our future earnings with respect to the “Other investments” will be dependent upon the operating results of 
the 36 self-storage facilities that these entities own.   The operating characteristics of these facilities are similar to 
those of the Company’s self-storage facilities, and are subject to the same operational issues as the Consistent Group 
of self-storage facilities as discussed above with respect to Self-Storage Operations.  See Note 6 to the consolidated 
financial statements for the operating results of these entities for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001.. 

Other Income and Expense Items 

Interest  and  other  income:  Interest  in  other  income  includes  (i)  the  net  operating  results  from  our  third 
party property management operations, (ii) the net operating results from our merchandise sales and consumer truck 
rentals and (iii) interest income. 

Interest and other income has decreased in 2002 as compared to 2001 principally as a result of lower cash 
balances  invested  in  interest  bearing  accounts,  lower  interest  rates,  and  the  reduction  in  income  generated  from 
affiliated entities that were acquired by the Company.  Interest and other income has increased in 2001 as compared 
to  2000  principally  as  a  result  of  higher  average  cash  balances  invested  in  interest  bearing  accounts  and  the 
aforementioned nonrecurring other income recorded in 2001.   The changes in average cash balances are primarily 
due to the timing of investing proceeds from the issuance of equity securities into real estate assets.  

Depreciation  and  amortization:  Depreciation  and  amortization  expense  was  $179,634,000  in  2002, 
$166,178,000 in 2001 and $148,195,000 in 2000.  Included in depreciation expense with respect to our real estate 
facilities was $167,485,000 in 2002, $152,447,000 in 2001 and $134,629,000 in 2000; the increases are due to the 
acquisition  and  development  of  additional  real  estate  facilities  in  1999  through  2001.    Depreciation  expense  with 
respect to other assets, primarily depreciation of equipment and containers associated with the containerized storage 
operations, was $5,545,000 in 2002, $4,422,000 in 2001 and $4,257,000 in 2000. Amortization expense with respect 
to intangible assets totaled $6,604,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002 and $9,309,000 for the years ended 
December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.   

Depreciation  and  amortization  during  2002  with  respect  to  real  estate  facilities  acquired  or  developed 
during 2002 amounted to $11,540,000 which was for a partial period for the time they were acquired until December 
31, 2002, and we expect the annual depreciation expense with respect to these facilities for 2003 and forward will 
approximate $14,398,000.   

General  and  administrative  expense:  General  and  administrative  expense  was  $15,619,000  in  2002, 
$21,038,000 in 2001 and $21,306,000 in 2000.  General and administrative costs for each year principally consist of 
state  income  taxes,  investor  relation  expenses,  and  corporate  and  executive  salaries.    In  addition,  general  and 
administrative expense includes expenses that vary depending upon the Company’s activity levels in certain areas, 
such as overhead associated with the acquisition and development of real estate facilities, employee severance, and 
product research and development expenditures. 

During  2001  and  2000,  we  incurred  higher  levels  of  expenditures  for  product  research,  development 
overhead,  consulting  fees,  lease  termination  costs  relating  to  our  PSPUD  business  and  employee  severance  costs.  
Such  costs  totaled  approximately  $5,630,000  in  2001  and  $5,963,000  in  2000.    The  reduction  in  general  and 
administrative expense during 2002 was largely due to the reduction in these types of expenditures. 

46 

 
 
We expect that the level of general and administrative expense in 2003 will approximate that experienced 

in 2002.  

Interest expense: Interest expense was $3,809,000 in 2002, $3,227,000 in 2001 and $3,293,000 in 2000.  
Debt and related interest expense remain relatively low compared to our overall asset base.  The increase in interest 
expense in 2002 compared to 2001 and 2000 is principally the result of decreased capitalized interest.  Capitalized 
interest  expense  totaled  $6,513,000  in  2002,  $8,992,000  in  2001  and  $9,778,000  in  2000  in  connection  with  our 
development activities.   

The combined interest expense and capitalized interest was $10,322,000 in 2002, $12,219,000 in 2001 and 

$13,071,000 in 2000.  

We  expect  that  our  aggregate  interest  cost  (interest  expensed  and  capitalized  interest  combined)  during 
fiscal 2003 will continue to decline as a result of principal amortization.  During fiscal 2003,  scheduled principal 
amortization approximates $39.8 million.  The amount of interest which will be capitalized during fiscal 2003 will 
be dependent on our development activities which we believe will be lower than what was incurred during 2002. 

Minority interest in income: Minority interest in income represents the income allocable to equity interests 
in Consolidated Entities, which are not owned by the Company.  The following table summarizes minority interest 
in income for each of the three years ended December 31, 2002:

(a)  These amounts reflect income allocated to the minority interests in the Consolidated Development Joint Venture.  
Included  in  minority  interest  in  income  is  $3,227,000,  $2,386,000  and  $25,000  in  depreciation  expense  for  the 
years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. 

(b)  These amounts reflect the minority interests in two partnerships that we began consolidating effective January 1, 
2002, as described in Note 3 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Included in minority interest in 
income for the year ended December 31, 2002 is $721,000 in depreciation expense.  

(c)  These amounts reflect the minority interests represented by the Convertible Partnership Units (see Note 9 to the 
consolidated  financial  statements).    Included  in  minority  interest  is  $354,000,  $308,000  and  $377,000  in 
depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. 

(d)  These  amounts  reflect  income  allocated  to  minority  interests  that  the  Company  acquired  during  the  three  years 
ended December 31, 2002, and are therefore no longer outstanding at December 31, 2002.  Included in minority 
interest  in  income  is  $1,246,000,  $2,272,000  and  $3,273,000  in  depreciation  expense  for  the  years  ended 
December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. 

(e)  These  amounts  reflect  income  allocated  to  minority  interests  that  were  outstanding  consistently  throughout  the 
three  years  ended  December  31,  2002.    Included  in  minority  interest  in  income  is  $2,539,000,  $2,881,000  and 
$3,463,000 in depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.

On March 17, 2000, one of our consolidated operating partnerships issued $240.0 million of 9.5% Series N 
Cumulative  Redeemable  Perpetual  Preferred  Units.    On  March  29,  2000  the  partnership  issued  $75.0  million  of 
9.125% Series O Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units and on August 11, 2000, issued $50.0 million 
of 8.75% Series P Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units.  In August 2001, we repurchased, at par, $30 
million of 9.125% Series O Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units. In October 2001, we repurchased, at 
par,  $50  million  of  8.75%  Series  P  Cumulative  Redeemable  Perpetual  Preferred  Units.    For  the  years  ended 
December  31,  2000,  2001,  and  2002,  the  holders  of  our  preferred  partnership  units  were  paid  in  aggregate 
approximately  $24,859,000,  $31,737,000  and  $26,906,000,  respectively,  in  distributions  and  received  a 
corresponding allocation of minority interest in earnings for the respective period.  We estimate that during 2003 we 
will  pay  aggregate  distributions  totaling  $26.9  million  to  these  units  with  a  corresponding  allocation  of  income to 
minority interest in earnings. 

In  November  1999,  we  formed  a  development  joint  venture  (the  “Consolidated  Development  Joint 
Venture”) with a joint venture partner whose partners include an institutional investor and the Company’s Chairman 
and former CEO, B. Wayne Hughes (“Mr. Hughes”).  The Consolidated Development Joint Venture is funded solely 
with  equity  capital  consisting  of  51%  from  the  Company  and  49%  from  the  joint  venture  partner.      Included  in 
minority interest in income for the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001, and 2002 is $325,000,  $1,074,000, and 
$2,399,000,  respectively,  representing  our  joint  venture  partner’s  pro  rata  interest  in  the  operations  of  the 
Consolidated Development Joint Venture. The facilities in the entity are newly developed facilities that are all in the 
fill-up phase.  The increase in minority interest in income in 2002 and 2001 as compared to the preceding years with 
respect to the Consolidated Development Joint Venture is due to the opening and fill-up of the facilities owned by 
this entity.   We expect that such minority interest in income will continue to increase during 2003 as the facilities 
continue to fill-up and increase the earnings of this entity. 

Newly  Consolidated  Partnerships  reflect  the  minority  interests  in  two  partnerships  that  we  began 
consolidating effective January 1, 2002, as described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.  In addition, 
as  described  in  Note  8,  during  2002  we  recorded  the  pending  sale  of  a  partnership  interest  in  the  Newly 
Consolidated  Partnerships,  and for all periods following the sale of this interest, income will be allocated to these 
interests.  

The  acquired  minority  interests  reflect  interests  in  the  consolidated  entities that the Company acquired in 
the three years ended December 31, 2002 and are therefore no longer outstanding.  There will be no further income 
allocated to these interests in 2003 and beyond.  

Other  minority  interests  reflect  income  allocated  to  minority  interests  that  have  maintained  a  consistent 
level of interest throughout the three years ended December 31, 2002, comprised of investments in the Consolidated 
Entities and the Operating Partnership Units described in Note 9 to the Company’s financial statements.  The level 
of  income  allocated  to these interests in the future is dependent upon the operating results of the storage facilities 
that these entities own, as well as any acquisitions of minority interests that the Company does in the future.   We 
recently  mailed  an  information  statement  relating  to  the  April  28,  2003  acquisition  by  the  Company  of  all  of  the 
remaining  limited  partnership  interest  not  currently  owned  by  the  Company  in  PS  Partners  IV,  Ltd.,  a  partnership 
which is consolidated with the Company, for an aggregate of $23,360,000.   Included in minority interest in income 
for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2002,  with  respect  to  these  interests    was  approximately  $1,412,000  including 
$685,000 in depreciation expense.  If completed, the transaction would have the effect of reducing minority interest 
in income on a go forward basis.  See Acquisition and Development of Facilities below. 

Discontinued Operations: As described more fully in the Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements,  
we implemented a business plan which included the closure of certain non-strategic containerized storage facilities 
(the  “Closed  Facilities”).      Also,  we  sold  one  of  our  commercial  facilities  to  a  third  party  for  an  aggregate  $3.9 
million in cash.   

48 

 
 
During  2002,  in  connection  with  the  closure  or  planned  closure  of  these  facilities,  we  recorded  asset 
impairment  losses  with  respect  to  the  furniture,  fixtures,  and  equipment  totaling  $6,187,000.    In  addition,  lease 
termination  costs  for  the  expected  remaining lease liability following closure of the facilities were recorded in the 
amount of $2,447,000.  

The  historical  operations  of  the  Closed  Facilities  (including  the  asset  impairment  losses  and  lease 
termination  costs)  are  classified  as  discontinued  operations,  with  the  rental  income,  cost  of  operations,  and 
depreciation  expense  with  respect  to  these  facilities  for  current  and  prior  periods  included  in  the  line-item 
“Discontinued Operations” on the income statement. 

Following are the amounts with respect to the Closed Facilities and the commercial facility sold that are included in 
Discontinued Operations.

(a)  These amounts represent the historical operations of the Closed Facilities and the commercial property sold. Amounts with 
respect  to  these  facilities  for  periods  prior  to  2002  were  previously  classified  as  containerized  storage  rental  income, 
containerized storage – cost of operations, and depreciation expense in the financial statements.  

(b)  Amount includes asset impairment charges totaling $6,187,000 and lease termination costs totaling $2,447,000. 

(c)  The net discontinued operations have resulted in reductions to our earnings per share of $0.09, $0.01 and $0.01 per diluted 

common share for each of the three years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. 

Many  of  the  Closed  Facilities  are  in  the  process  of  closing  which  may  take  up  to  several  months  to 

complete.  We expect that these facilities will continue to generate operating losses until final closure.

Gain (loss) in disposition of real estate: In the year ended December 31, 2002, we recorded a net loss on 
disposition of real estate of $2,541,000, as compared to a gain of $4,091,000 and $576,000, respectively, in 2001 
and  2000.    The  net  loss  in  2002  is  composed  of  a  loss  on  disposition  of  land  and  a  commercial  facility  totaling 
$702,000  as  described  in  Note  6,  combined  with  a  loss  on  disposition  of  partnership  interests  in  the  amount  of 
$1,839,000 as described in Note 9.  The gain in 2001 is related to the disposition of two real estate facilities and a 
parcel of land.  The gain in 2000 is composed a $296,000 gain on the sale of eight storage facilities and two parcels 
of land, and a $280,000 gain on the sale of investments. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

We  believe  that  our  internally  generated  net  cash  provided  by  operating  activities  will  continue  to  be 
sufficient  to  enable  us  to  meet  our  operating  expenses,  capital  improvements,  debt  service  requirements  and 
distributions to shareholders for the foreseeable future.   

Operating  as  a  real  estate  investment  trust  (“REIT”),  our  ability  to  retain  cash  flow  for  reinvestment  is 
restricted.  In order for us to maintain our REIT status, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow must be used 
to make distributions to our shareholders (see “Requirement to Pay Distributions” below).  However, despite the 
significant  distribution  requirements,  we  have  been  able  to retain a significant amount of our operating cash flow.  
The  following  table  summarizes  our  ability  to  fund  distributions  to  the  minority  interest,  capital  improvements  to 
maintain our facilities, and distributions to our shareholders through the use of cash provided by operating activities.  
The remaining cash flow generated is available to make both scheduled and optional principal payments on debt and 
for reinvestment.

(a)  The special distribution for 2001 was declared in August 2001 and paid in September 2001.  The special distribution for 
2000  was  declared  in  August  2000  and  paid  in  September  2000.    In  each  instance,  the  special  distribution  enabled  the 
Company to maintain its REIT status with respect to the distribution requirements. 

Our 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.  
We expect to fund our growth strategies with cash on hand at December 31, 2002, internally generated retained cash 
flows,  and  proceeds  from  issuing  equity  securities.    In  general,  our  current  strategy  is  to  continue  to  finance  our 
growth with permanent capital, either common or preferred equity.  We have in the past used our $200 million line 

50 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
of  credit  as  temporary  “bridge”  financing,  and  repaid  those  amounts  with  internally  generated  cash  flows  and 
proceeds from the placement of permanent capital.  As of December 31, 2002, we had no outstanding borrowings 
under our $200 million bank line of credit.  

Over the past three years we have funded substantially all of our acquisitions with permanent capital (both 
common and preferred securities). We have elected to use preferred securities as a form of leverage despite the fact 
that the dividend rates of our preferred securities exceed the prevailing market interest rates on conventional debt.  
We  have  chosen  this  method  of  financing  for  the  following  reasons:  (i)  under  the  REIT  structure,  a  significant 
amount  of  operating  cash  flow  needs  to  be  distributed  to  our  shareholders  making  it  difficult  to  repay  debt  with 
operating cash flow alone, (ii) our perpetual preferred stock has no sinking fund requirement, or maturity date and 
does  not  require  redemption,  all  of  which  eliminate  any  future  refinancing  risks,  (iii)  after  the  end  of  a  non-call 
period,  we  have  the  option  to  redeem  the  preferred  stock  at  any  time,  which  in  2002  and  2001  enabled  us  to 
effectively refinance higher coupon preferred stock with new preferred stock at lower rates, (iv) preferred stock does 
not contain onerous covenants, thus allowing us to maintain significant financial flexibility, and (v) dividends on the 
preferred stock can be applied to our REIT distribution requirements.  

Our  credit  ratings  on  each  of  our  series  of  Cumulative  Preferred  Stock  by  each  of  the  three  major  credit 

agencies are “Baa2” by Moody’s and BBB+ by both Standard & Poor’s and Fitch IBCA. 

Our portfolio of real estate facilities remains substantially unencumbered.  At December 31, 2002,  we had 
mortgage debt outstanding of $20.6 million (which encumbers real estate with a book value of $56.4 million) and 
unsecured debt in the amount of $95.3 million,  and  real estate facilities with a book value of approximately $4.1 
billion. 

We  believe  that  our  size  and  financial  flexibility  enables  us  to  access  capital  when  appropriate.  During 

2002 and 2001, we completed the following capital raising activities (amounts are presented net of issuance costs):

The net proceeds raised through the issuance of our Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series R and Series S in 
2001, and Series V in 2002 allowed us to take advantage of favorable rate spreads. Accordingly, at our option, we 
redeemed for cash our Cumulative Preferred Stock Series G, Series H, Series I in 2001 and Series A and Series J in 
2002, each having higher coupon rates than either the Series R, Series S or Series V.  In addition, during 2001 we 
repurchased  all  of  our  outstanding  Series  P  Partnership  Preferred  Units  and a portion of our outstanding Series O 
Partnership  Preferred  Units.  These  transactions,  summarized  below,  represented  a  refinancing  of  a  portion  of  our 
permanent capital structure into lower coupon securities.

The  Cumulative  Preferred  Stock  amounts listed above include redemption cost of approximately $25,000 

per redemption for 2001 and $18,000 per redemption for 2002. 

We  have  called  for  redemption  our  9.2%  Senior  Preferred  Stock  Series  B  which  will  be  redeemed  on 
March 31, 2003.  The aggregate redemption amount for this security is $25 per share or approximately $57.5 million 
in the aggregate, plus accrued dividends. 

Requirement to Pay Distributions: We have operated, and intend 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 we will at all 
times so qualify.  To the extent that the Company continues to qualify as a REIT, we will not be taxed, with certain 
limited exceptions, on the taxable income that is distributed to our shareholders, provided that at least 90% of our 
taxable income is so distributed to our shareholders prior to filing of the Company’s tax return.  We have satisfied 
the REIT distribution requirement since 1980. 

Aggregate dividends paid during 2002, totaled $148.9 million to the holders of our Cumulative Preferred 
Stock,  $209.1  million  to  the holders of our Common Stock, $12.2 million to the holders of our Class B Common 
Stock and $21.5 million to the holders of our Equity Stock, Series A.  Although we have not finalized the calculation 
of our 2002 taxable income,  we believe that the aggregate dividends paid in 2002 to our shareholders were designed 
to enable us to continue to qualify as a REIT. 

We  estimate  that  the  distribution  requirements  for  fiscal  2003  with  respect  to  our  Cumulative  Preferred 
Stock  outstanding,  and  assuming  the  redemption  of  Cumulative  Preferred  Stock,  Series  B,  will  be  approximately 
$144.2 million.   

During 2002, we paid distributions totaling $26.9 million with respect to our Preferred Partnership Units.  
We  estimate  the  annual  distributions  requirements  with  respect  to  the  preferred  partnership  units  outstanding  at 
December 31, 2002 to be approximately $26.9 million.   

For 2003, distributions with respect to the Common Stock and Equity Stock, Series A will be determined 
based  upon  our  REIT  distribution  requirements  after  taking  into  consideration  distributions  to  the  preferred 
shareholders.  We anticipate that, at a minimum, quarterly distributions per common share will remain at $0.45 per 
common share (increased from $0.22 per common share during 2000 and in the first two quarters of 2001).  For the 
first  quarter  of  2003,  a  quarterly  distribution  of  $0.45  per  common  share  has  been  declared  by  our  Board  of 
Directors.    Prior  to  2002,  in  addition  to  the  regular  quarterly  dividends  paid  to  our  common  shareholder,  we  also 
paid special distributions.  These special distributions were necessary to meet our distribution requirements in order 
to maintain our REIT tax status.  While we don’t expect to need a special distribution in 2003, the need to make a 
special distribution is not determinable at this time and will depend in large part on our taxable income relative to 
the distributions being paid to all of our shareholders. 

With respect to the depositary shares of Equity Stock, Series A, we have no obligation to pay distributions 
if no distributions are paid to the common shareholders.  To the extent that we do pay common distributions in any 
year,  the  holders  of  the  depositary  shares  receive  annual  distributions  equal  to  the  lesser  of  (i)  five  times  the  per 

52 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
share  dividend  on  the  common  stock  or  (ii)  $2.45.      The  depositary  shares  are  noncumulative,  and  have  no 
preference over our Common Stock either as to dividends or in liquidation.  

Capital  Improvement  Requirements:  During  2003,  we  have  budgeted  approximately  $25.0  million  for 
capital improvements.   Capital improvements include major repairs or replacements to the facilities which keep the 
facilities in good operation condition and maintain their visual appeal.  Capital improvements do not include costs 
relating to the development or expansion of facilities. 

Debt  Service  Requirements:  We  do  not  believe  we  have  any significant refinancing risks with respect to 
our  mortgage  debt,  all  of  which  is  fixed  rate.    At  December  31,  2002,  we  had  total  outstanding  notes  payable  of 
approximately  $115.9  million.    See  Note  7  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements  for  approximate  principal 
maturities of such borrowings.  We anticipate that our retained operating cash flow will continue to be sufficient to 
enable  us  to  make  scheduled  principal  payments.  It is our current intent to fully amortize our debt as opposed to 
refinance debt maturities with additional debt. 

Acquisition  and  Development  of  Facilities:  During  2002,  we  acquired  nine  self-storage  facilities  for 
approximately  $30.1  million.    During  2001,  we  acquired  one  self-storage  facility  for  approximately  $3.5  million.  
During 2000, we acquired a commercial facility and 12 storage facilities at an aggregate cost of approximately $67.1 
million.  Our low level of third party acquisitions over the past three years is not indicative of either the supply of 
facilities offered for sale or our ability to finance the acquisitions, but is primarily due to prices sought by sellers and 
our lack of desire to pay such prices.  During fiscal 2003,  we will continue to seek to acquire additional self-storage 
facilities  from  third  parties,    however,  it  is  difficult  to  estimate  the  amount  of  third  party  acquisitions  we  will 
undertake. 

On  January  16,  2002,  we  acquired  the  remaining  70%  interest  in  the  Development  Joint  Venture  for 
approximately $153,078,000 in cash.  The Development Joint Venture was formed in April 1997 with equity capital 
consisting  of  30%  from  the  Company  and  70%  from  an  institutional  investor,  which  owns  47  storage  facilities 
opened  since  1997.    This  transaction  was  principally  financed  with  the  capital  raised  through  the  issuance  of  our 
7.625%  Cumulative  Preferred  Stock,  Series  T.    On  April  19,  2002,  we  acquired  through  a  merger  all  of  the 
remaining  limited  partnership  interest  not  currently  owned  by  the  Company  in  PS  Partners  V,  Ltd.,  a  partnership 
which  is  consolidated  with  the  Company.    The  acquisition  cost  consisted  of  approximately  533,796  shares 
($20,054,000) of our common stock and approximately $12,815,000 in cash. On September 19, 2002, we acquired 
through  a  merger  all  of  the  remaining  limited  partnership  interest  not  currently  owned  by  the  Company  in  PS 
Partners  VI,  Ltd.,  a  partnership  which  is  consolidated  with  the  Company.    The  acquisition  cost  consisted  of 
approximately 557,812 shares ($17,850,000) of our common stock and approximately $12,347,000 in cash. 

On  September  15,  2000,  we  acquired  the  remaining  ownership  interests  in  an  affiliated  partnership,  of 
which  we  were  the  general  partner,  for  an  aggregate  acquisition  cost  of  $81.2 million. This partnership owned 13 
self-storage facilities. 

We recently mailed an information statement relating to the April 28, 2003 acquisition by the Company of 
all  of  the  52,851  limited  partnership  units  that  it  did  not  own  in  PS  Partners  IV,  Ltd.,  a  partnership  which  is 
consolidated  with  the  Company.    The  acquisition  of  the  52,851  units  will  be  accomplished  through  a  merger  of  a 
subsidiary of the Company into the partnership and the conversion of the 52,851 units into either cash or common 
stock of the Company.  Each unit will be converted into the right to receive a value of $442 in our common stock or, 
at  the  election  of  the  unitholder,  in  cash.    We  expect  that  the  cash  portion  of  the  transaction  will  be  funded  by 
available cash on hand or, if necessary, borrowings on our line of credit. 

In  November  1999,  we  formed  a  second  joint  venture  partnership  for  the  development  of  approximately 
$100 million of self-storage facilities.  The venture is funded solely with equity capital consisting of 51% from us 
and 49% from the joint venture partner.  The term of the joint venture is 15 years.  After six years, the joint venture 
partner has the right to cause the Company to purchase the joint venture partner’s interest for an amount necessary to 
provide  them  with  a  maximum  return  of  10.75%  or  less  in  certain  circumstances.    At  December  31,  2002,  this 
development joint venture was fully committed having developed 22 facilities (approximately 1,413,000 net rentable 
sq. ft.) for $108 million.  

53 

 
 
We  currently  have  a  development  “pipeline”  of  38  self-storage  facilities,  combination  facilities,  and 
expansions  to  existing  self-storage  facilities  with  an  aggregate  estimated  cost  of  approximately  $199.8  million.  
Approximately $87.5 million of development cost has been incurred as of December 31, 2002.  We have acquired 
the land for 36 of these projects, which have an aggregate estimated cost of approximately $188.6 million, and costs 
incurred as of December 31, 2002 of approximately $86.7 million.  The remaining 2 facilities represent identified 
sites  where  we  have  an  agreement  in  place  to  acquire  the  land,  generally  within  one  year.    We  anticipate  that  the 
development of these projects will be funded solely by the Company. 

The  development  and  fill-up  of  these  storage  facilities  is  subject  to  significant  contingencies  such  as  obtaining 
appropriate governmental approvals.  We estimate that the amount remaining to be spent of approximately $112.2 
million  will  be  incurred  over  the  next  18  –  24  months.    The  following  table  sets  forth  certain  information  with 
respect to our development pipeline.

ITEM 7A. 

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk 

To  limit  our  exposure  to  market  risk,    we  principally  finance  our  operations  and  growth  with  permanent 
equity  capital  consisting  either  of  common  or  preferred  stock.    At  December  31,  2002,  the  Company’s  debt  as  a 
percentage of total shareholders’ equity (based on book values) was 2.8%.

Controls and Procedures 

The  Company  maintains  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  that  are  designed  to  ensure  that  information 
required to be disclosed in reports the Company files and submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, 
summarized  and  reported  within  the  time  periods  specified  in  accordance  with  SEC  guidelines  and  that  such 
information  is  communicated  to  the  Company's  management,  including  its  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  Chief 
Financial  Officer,  to  allow  timely  decisions  regarding  required  disclosure  based  on  the  definition  of  "disclosure 
controls and procedures" in Rule 13a-14(c) of the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls 
and  procedures,  management  recognized  that  any  controls  and  procedures,  no  matter  how  well  designed  and 
operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Also, the Company has 
investments  in  certain  unconsolidated  entities.  As  the  Company  does  not  control  or  manage  these  entities,  its 
disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are substantially more limited than those it maintains 
with respect to its consolidated subsidiaries. 

Within  90  days  prior  to  the  date  of  this  report,  the  Company  carried  out  an  evaluation,  under  the 
supervision  and  with  the  participation  of  the  Company's  management,  including  the  Company's  Chief  Executive 
Officer  and  the  Company's  Chief  Financial  Officer,  of  the  effectiveness  of  the  design  and  operation  of  the 
Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon this evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer 
and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There 
have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect 
the internal controls subsequent to the date of the Company’s evaluation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS 

The Board of Directors and Shareholders 
Public Storage, Inc. 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Public Storage, Inc. as of December 31, 2002 and 
2001, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three 
years in the period ended December 31, 2002.  Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the 
Index  at  Item  15(a).    These  financial  statements  and  financial  statement  schedule  are  the  responsibility  of  the 
Company’s  management.    Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  financial  statements  and  financial 
statement schedule based on our audits. 

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  auditing  standards  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States.    Those 
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 
financial  statements  are  free  of  material  misstatement.    An  audit  includes  examining,  on  a  test  basis,  evidence 
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting 
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement 
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

In  our  opinion,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  referred  to  above  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the 
consolidated financial position of Public Storage, Inc. at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the consolidated results 
of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity 
with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States.    Also,  in  our  opinion,  the  related  financial 
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in 
all material respects the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
December 31, 2002 

1. 

Description of the business 

Public  Storage,  Inc.  (the  “Company”)  is  a  California  corporation,  which  was  organized  in  1980.  We 
are a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) whose principal 
business activities include the acquisition, development, ownership and operation of self-storage facilities which 
offer storage spaces for lease, usually on a month-to-month basis, for personal and business use.  In addition, to 
a  much  lesser  extent,  we  have  interests  in  commercial  properties,  containing  commercial  and  industrial  rental 
space, and interests in facilities that lease storage containers. 

We invest in real estate facilities by acquiring wholly owned facilities or by acquiring interests in real 
estate entities which own facilities.  At December 31, 2002, we had direct and indirect equity interests in 1,403 
storage facilities located in 37 states and operating under the “Public Storage” name.  We also have direct and 
indirect equity interests in approximately 16.1 million net rentable square feet of commercial space located in 
11 states. 

2. 

Summary of significant accounting policies 

Basis of presentation 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and 33 controlled entities 
(the  “Consolidated  Entities”).    Collectively,  the  Company  and  the  Consolidated  Entities  own  a  total  of  1,376 
real  estate  facilities,  consisting  of  1,367  self-storage  facilities,  six  containerized  storage  facilities  and  three 
commercial properties. 

At  December  31,  2002,  we  had  equity  investments  in  seven  limited  partnerships  in  which  we do not 
have  a  controlling  interest.  These  limited  partnerships  collectively  own  36  self-storage  facilities,  which  are 
managed  by  the  Company.    In  addition,  we  own  approximately  44%  of  the  common  equity  of  PS  Business 
Parks, Inc. (“PSB”), which owns and operates 14.4 million net rentable square feet of commercial space as of 
December 31, 2002.  We do not control these entities, accordingly, our investments in these limited partnerships 
and PSB are accounted for using the equity method. 

Certain  amounts  previously  reported  have  been  reclassified  to  conform  to  the  December  31,  2002 

presentation, including Discontinued Operations (see Note 4).  

Use of estimates 

The  preparation  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  accounting  principles 
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 
amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ 
from those estimates. 

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, we are not taxed on that portion of 
our taxable income which is distributed to our shareholders provided that we meet certain tests.  We believe we 
have met these tests during 2002, 2001 and 2000; accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in 
the accompanying financial statements.

PUBLIC STORAGE, INC. 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
December 31, 2002 

Financial instruments 

The  methods  and  assumptions  used  to  estimate  the  fair  value  of  financial  instruments  is  described 
below.    We  have  estimated  the  fair  value  of  our financial instruments using available market information and 
appropriate valuation methodologies.  Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop 
estimates of market value.  Accordingly, estimated fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that 
could be realized in current market exchanges.  

For  purposes  of  financial  statement  presentation,  we  consider  all  highly  liquid  debt  instruments 

purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  

Due  to  the  short  period  to  maturity  of  our  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  accounts  receivable,  and  other 
financial assets included in other assets, and accrued and other liabilities, the carrying values as presented on the 
consolidated  balance  sheets  are  reasonable  estimates  of  fair  value.      The  carrying  amount  of  notes  receivable 
approximates  fair  value  because  the  applicable interest rates approximates market rates for these loans. Notes 
receivable were all current at December 31, 2002.   A comparison of the carrying amount of notes payable to 
their estimated fair value is included in Note 8, “Notes Payable.” 

Financial assets that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts 
receivable, and notes receivable.  Cash and cash equivalents, which consist of short-term investments, including 
commercial paper, are only invested in entities with an investment grade rating. Notes receivable are secured by 
real  estate  facilities  that  we  believe  are  valued  (unaudited)  in  excess  of  the  related  note  receivable.  Accounts 
receivable from customers are a component of other assets, and are not a significant component of total assets.  

Included in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2002 is $11,423,000 held by STOR-Re Mutual 
Insurance  Company,  Inc.  (“STOR-Re”),  a  newly  consolidated  entity  (see  Note  3).    Insurance  and  other 
regulations  place  significant  restrictions  on  our  ability  to  withdraw  these  funds  for  purposes  other  than 
insurance activities.  

Real estate facilities 

Real  estate  facilities  are  recorded  at  cost.    Costs  associated  with  the  acquisition,  development, 
construction,  renovation,  and  improvement  of  properties  are  capitalized.    Interest,  property  taxes,  and  other 
costs  associated  with  development  incurred  during  the  construction  period  are  capitalized  as  building  cost.  
Expenditures  for  repairs  and  maintenance  are  charged  to  expense  when  incurred.    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.  

Evaluation of asset impairment 

In  August  2001,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (“FASB”)  issued  Statement  of  Financial 
Accounting  Standards  No.  144,  “Accounting  for  the  Impairment  or  Disposal  of  Long-Lived  Assets”  (“SFAS 
No. 144”).  In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill 
and  Other  Intangible  Assets”  (“SFAS  No.  142”).    We  adopted  both  of  these  statements  effective  January  1,

With  respect  to  goodwill,  we  evaluate  impairment  annually  through  a  two-step  process.    In  the  first 
step, if the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill applies is equal to or greater than the carrying 
amount of the assets of the reporting unit, including the goodwill, the goodwill is considered unimpaired and the 
second step is unnecessary.  If, however, the carrying amount is less than the fair value of the reporting unit, the 
second  step  is  performed.    In  this  test,  we  compute  the  implied  fair  value  of  the  goodwill  based  upon  the 
allocations  that  would  be  made  to  the  goodwill,  other  assets  and  liabilities  of  the  reporting  unit  if  a  business 
combination  transaction  were  consummated  at  the  fair  value  of  the  reporting  unit.      An  impairment  loss  is 
recorded  to  the  extent  that  the  implied  fair  value  of  the  goodwill  is  less than the goodwill’s carrying amount.  
No impairment of our goodwill was identified in our annual evaluation.  

With respect to other long-lived assets, we evaluate such assets on a quarterly basis.  We first evaluate 
these  assets  for  indicators  of  impairment  such  as  a)  a  significant  decrease  in  the  market  price  of  a  long-lived 
asset, b) a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset is being used or in its 
physical condition, c) a significant adverse change in legal factors or the business climate that could affect the 
value  of  the  long-lived  asset,  d)  an  accumulation  of  costs  significantly  in  excess  of  the  amount  originally 
projected for the acquisition or construction of the long-lived asset, or e) a current-period operating or cash flow 
loss  combined  with  a  history  of  operating  or  cash  flow  losses  or  a  projection  or  forecast  that  demonstrates 
continuing losses associated with the use of the long-lived asset.  When any such indicators of impairment are 
noted,  we  compare  the  carrying  value  of  these  assets  to  the  future  estimated  undiscounted  cash  flows 
attributable to these assets.  If the asset’s recoverable amount is less than the carrying value of the asset, then an 
impairment charge is booked for the excess of carrying value over the asset’s fair value.   

Any long-lived assets which we expect to sell or dispose of prior to their previously estimated useful 
life are stated at the lower of their estimated net realizable value or their carrying value (less cost to sell), and 
are evaluated throughout the sales process for impairment.  

Impairments  were  identified  with  respect  to  our  other  long-lived  assets  with  respect  to  Discontinued 
Operations as described further in Note 4.  In addition, our evaluations identified impairments with respect to 
machinery  and  equipment  that  is  no  longer  required  for  the  continuing  containerized  storage  operations,  and 
accordingly an asset impairment charge of $750,000 was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2002.  No 
other impairments were identified. 

Accounting for Employee Stock Options 

We  utilize  the  Fair  Value  Method  (described  below)  of  accounting  for  our  employee  stock  options 
issued after December 31, 2001, and utilize the APB 25 Method (described below) for employee stock options 
issued prior to January 1, 2002.  Accordingly, a total of $163,000 in related compensation expense was recorded 
in the year ended December 31, 2002 and included in general and administrative expense.  See Note 12 for a 
full discussion of our accounting with respect to employee stock options.  

Other assets 

Other  assets  primarily  consist  of  furniture,  fixtures,  equipment,  and  other  such assets associated with 
the  containerized  storage  operations,  system  development  and computer software costs, assets associated with 
the truck rental business, accounts receivable, and prepaid expenses.  Accounts receivable due from tenants are 
net of allowances for estimated doubtful accounts.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
December 31, 2002 

Other  assets  includes  assets  utilized  in  our  containerized  storage  business  which  totaled  $20,275,000 
and $30,699,000 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.  The carrying amounts are net of accumulated 
depreciation  and,    in  the  case  of  the  amount  at  December  31,  2002,  net  of  asset  impairment  charges.  As 
discussed in Note 4, during 2002 an impairment charge of $6,187,000 was recorded with respect to assets used 
in the containerized storage operations.  In addition, included in cost of operations – containerized storage is an 
impairment charge of $750,000 with respect to assets used in the continuing containerized storage operations. 

Included in depreciation and amortization expense for 2002, 2001 and 2000 is $5,545,000, $4,422,000, 
and  $4,257,000  respectively,  related  to  depreciation  of  other  assets.    Included  in  discontinued  operations  for 
2002,  2001,  and  2000,  respectively,  is  depreciation  expense  of  $1,322,000  and  $1,515,000,  and  $544,000 
respectively, related to depreciation of furniture, fixtures, and equipment of the discontinued operations of the 
containerized storage business. 

Other assets at December 31, 2002 also includes investments totaling $13,801,000 in held to maturity 

debt securities owned by STOR-Re (see Note 3) stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. 

Accrued and other liabilities 

Accrued  and  other  liabilities  consist  primarily  of  trade  payables,  real  and  personal  property  tax 

accruals, accrued interest, and losses and loss adjustment liabilities, as discussed below.  

STOR-Re (see Note 3), provides limited property and liability insurance coverage to the Company and 
affiliates  of  the  Company.    This  entity  accrues  liabilities  for  losses  and  loss  adjustment  expense,  which  at 
December  31,  2002  totaled  $22,911,000.      PS  Insurance  Company,  Ltd.  reinsures  policies  against  claims  for 
losses  to  goods  stored  by  tenants  in  our  self-storage  facilities  (see  Note  3).  This  entity  accrues  liabilities  for 
losses and loss adjustment expense, which at December 31, 2002 totaled $2,135,000.   

These  liabilities  for  losses  and  loss  adjustment  expenses  include  an  amount  determined  from  loss 
reports  and  individual  cases  and  an  amount,  based  on  recommendations  from  an  outside  actuary  using  a 
frequency and severity method, for losses incurred but not reported.  Determining the liability for unpaid losses 
and  loss  adjustment  expense  is  based  upon  estimates  and  while  we  believe  that  the  amount  is  adequate,  the 
ultimate  liability  may  be  in  excess  of  or  less  than  the  amounts  provided.    The  methods  for  making  such 
estimates and for establishing the resulting liability are continually reviewed. 

The  Company,  Stor-RE,  and  its  affiliates’  maximum  aggregate  annual  exposure  for  losses  that  are 
below  the  deductibles  set  forth  in  the  third-party  insurance  contracts,  assuming  multiple  significant  events 
occur, is approximately $30 million.  In addition, if losses exhaust the third-party insurers’ limit of coverage of 
$125,000,000  for  property  coverage  and  $101,000,000  for  general  liability,  our  exposure  could  be  greater.  
These  limits  are  higher  than  estimates  of  maximum  probable  losses  that  could  occur  from  individual 
catastrophic events (i.e., earthquake and wind damage) determined in recent engineering and actuarial studies. 

PS Insurance Company, Ltd. has outside third-party insurance coverage for losses from any individual 
event  that  exceeds  a  loss  of    $500,000,  to  a  limit  of  $10,000,000.    Losses  below  the  third-party  insurers’ 
deductible amounts are accrued as cost of operations for the tenant reinsurance operations. 

Intangible assets and goodwill 

Intangible  assets  consist  of  property  management  contracts  ($165,000,000)  and  the  excess  of  the 
acquisition cost over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets or “goodwill” ($94,719,000) 
acquired in business combinations.

PUBLIC STORAGE, INC. 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
December 31, 2002 

Prior  to  January  1,  2002,  we  amortized  goodwill  using  the  straight-line  method  over  25  years.  
Goodwill on our balance sheet has an indeterminate life and, in accordance with the provisions of Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, amortization of goodwill ceased effective January 1, 2002.  Our other 
intangibles continue to be amortized over 25 years.  Had we continued to amortize goodwill in 2002, net income 
would have been $316,033,000, and basic and diluted earnings per share, respectively, would have been $1.18 
and $1.17, respectively.  

Goodwill  is  net  of  accumulated  amortization  of  $16,515,000  at  December  31,  2002  and  2001.    At 
December  31,  2002,  property  management  contracts  are  net  of  accumulated  amortization  of  $47,107,000 
($40,503,000 at December 31, 2001).  Included in depreciation and amortization expense for 2002 and 2001 is 
$6,604,000  with  respect  to  the  amortization  of  property  management  contracts.    In  addition,  included  in 
depreciation and amortization expense for 2001 is $2,705,000 relating to the amortization of goodwill. 

Revenue and expense recognition 

Rental  income,  which  is  generally  earned  pursuant  to  month-to-month  leases  for  storage  space,  is 
recognized as earned.  Tenant reinsurance premiums are recognized as premiums are collected.  Interest income 
is recognized as earned. Equity in earnings of real estate entities is recognized based on our ownership interest 
in the earnings of each of the unconsolidated real estate entities.  Cost of operations, general and administrative 
cost  and  interest  are  expensed  as  incurred.    We  accrue  for  property  tax  expense  based  upon  estimates  and 
historical trends.  If these estimates are incorrect, the timing of expense recognition could be affected. 

Environmental costs 

Our  policy  is  to  accrue  environmental  assessments  and/or  remediation  cost  when  it  is  probable  that 
such  efforts  will  be  required  and  the  related  costs  can  be  reasonably  estimated.    Our  current  practice  is  to 
conduct  environmental  investigations  in  connection  with  property  acquisitions.    Although  there  can  be  no 
assurance, we are not aware of any environmental contamination of any of our facilities, which individually or 
in the aggregate would be material to our overall business, financial condition, or results of operations. 

Net income per common share 

Cumulative Preferred Stock dividends totaling $148,926,000, $117,979,000 and $100,138,000 for the 
years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, have been deducted from net income to arrive at 
net income allocable to our common shareholders. 

Net income allocated to our common shareholders has been further allocated among our two classes of 
common  stock;  our  regular  common  stock  and  our  Equity  Stock,  Series  A.    The  allocation  among  each  class 
was  based  upon  the  two-class  method.    Under  the  two-class  method,  earnings  per  share  for  each  class  of 
common  stock  is  determined  according  to  dividends  declared  (or  accumulated)  and  participation  rights  in 
undistributed earnings.  Under the two-class method, the Equity Stock, Series A for the years ended December 
31,  2002,  2001  and  2000  were  allocated  approximately  $21,501,000,  $19,455,000  and  $11,042,000, 
respectively,  of  net  income.    The  remaining  $148,311,000,  $186,774,000,  and  $185,908,000,  for  the  years 
ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively, was allocated to the regular common shares.  

Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted average common shares outstanding (prior 
to the dilutive impact of stock options outstanding).  Diluted net income per common share is computed using 
the weighted average common shares outstanding (adjusted for the dilutive impact of stock options outstanding 
that totaled 1,566,000 in 2002, 1,267,000 in 2001 and 91,000 shares in 2000).

PUBLIC STORAGE, INC. 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
December 31, 2002 

Commencing January 1, 2000, the 7,000,000 Class B common shares outstanding began to participate 
in distributions of the Company’s earnings.  Distributions per share of Class B common stock are equal to 97% 
of  the  per  share  distribution  paid  to  the  regular  common  shares.  As  a  result  of  this  participation  in  the 
distribution  of  our  earnings,  we  have  include  6,790,000  (7,000,000  x  97%)  Class  B  common  shares  in  the 
weighted average common equivalent shares for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. 

As of March 31, 2002, the remaining contingency for the conversion of the Class B common stock into 
regular  common  stock  had  been  satisfied  (see  Note  10).  As  a  result,  beginning  April  1,  2002,  we  began  to 
include all 7,000,000 Class B common shares in the computation of the weighted average common equivalent 
shares.  The Class B common stock converted into 7,000,000 shares of common stock on January 1, 2003.   

Reclassifications 

Certain  amounts  previously  reported  have  been  reclassified  to  conform  to  the  December  31,  2002 

presentation, including Discontinued Operations (see Note 4).

Business combinations 

Development Joint Venture 

On  January  16,  2002,  we  acquired  the  remaining  70%  interest  we  did  not  own  in  a  partnership  (the 
“Development  Joint  Venture”).  The  Development  Joint  Venture  was  formed  in  April  1997  to  develop  self-
storage  facilities  and  was  funded  with  equity  capital  consisting  of  30%  from  the  Company  and  70%  from  an 
institutional investor. The Development Joint Venture developed and owns a total of 47 self-storage facilities.  
Prior to January 16, 2002, we accounted for our investment in the Development Joint Venture using the equity 
method  of  accounting.  The  aggregate  cost  of  this  business  combination  was  $268,209,000,  consisting  of  our 
pre-existing  investment  in  the  Development  Joint  Venture  of  $115,131,000  and  cash of $153,078,000 paid to 
the institutional investor to acquire its interest.  

STOR-Re Mutual Insurance Company, Inc. (STOR-Re) 

As a result of obtaining a controlling ownership interest, effective July 1, 2002 we began consolidating 
STOR-Re.   Accordingly,  the assets and liabilities and operating results subsequent to July 1, 2002 of STOR-
Re are included on our financial statements. Our investment in STOR-Re, which at June 30, 2002 was classified 
as an Other Asset in the amount of $8,541,000, was allocated to the cash, other assets, and liabilities of STOR-
Re as described in the table below. 

STOR-Re  was  formed  in  1994  as  an  association  captive  insurance  company  owned  by  the  Company 
and its affiliates.  STOR-Re provides limited property and liability insurance to the Company and its affiliates.  
The  Company  also  utilizes  other  insurance  carriers  to  provide  property  and  liability  coverage  in  excess  of 
STOR-Re’s limitations. 

Prior to July 1, 2002, the insurance premiums paid to STOR-Re were included in property operating 
expenses.  After June 30, 2002, the insured liabilities costs incurred by STOR-Re with respect to the Company 
and the Consolidated Entities facilities are presented as property operating expenses.   The insured liability costs 
incurred  by  STOR-Re  are  substantially  equivalent  to  the  premiums  paid  by  the  Company  and  its  affiliates; 
accordingly, the consolidation of STOR-Re had no material impact upon the Company’s income statement. The 
net operating results of STOR-Re with respect to its insurance services provided to the Unconsolidated Entities 
are included in “interest and other income.”

Other Partnerships 

As a result of obtaining a controlling ownership interest, we began to consolidate the accounts of two 
publicly-held  limited  partnerships  owning  31  self-storage  facilities  in  which  we  are  the  general  partner, 
effective January 1, 2002.  Our $45,105,000 investment at December 31, 2001 was allocated to the cash, other 
assets,  liabilities,  and  minority  interests  of  these  entities  as  described  in  the  table  below.    Prior  to  2002,  we 
accounted for our investment in these entities using the equity method of accounting. 

During  2000,  we  acquired  the  remaining  ownership  interests  in  a  partnership,  of  which  we  are  the 
general  partner,  for  an  aggregate  acquisition  cost  of  $81,169,000,  consisting  of  cash  of  $66,776,000  and  the 
reduction of our pre-existing investment in the amount of $14,393,000.  Prior to the acquisition, we accounted 
for our investment in the partnership using the equity method of accounting.   

PS Insurance Company, Ltd. 

On  December  31,  2001,  we  acquired  all  of  the  capital  stock  of  PS  Insurance  Company,  Ltd.  (“PS 
Insurance  Company”),  which  reinsures  policies  against  losses  to  goods  stored  by  tenants  in  our  self-storage 
facilities  and which owned, and continues to own, 301,032 shares of the Company’s common stock.  Prior to 
December 31, 2001, PS Insurance Company was owned by our chairman and former chief executive officer, B. 
Wayne Hughes, and members of his family (collectively, “Hughes”).   

The  acquisition  cost  was  $24,538,000,  which  was  composed  of  $30,814,000  in  common  stock 
(1,439,765  shares  issued  to  Hughes  less  the  301,032  shares  held  by  PS  Insurance  Company)  valued  at  the 
market  price  of  the  common  stock  at  the  time  the  acquisition  agreement  was  entered  into  and  announced 
publicly) less $6,276,000 cash held by PS Insurance Company.  

The purchase price was allocated first to the tangible assets and liabilities of PS Insurance Company.  
The difference between the purchase price and the net tangible assets was determined to be related to the value 
of  the  ongoing  operations  of  the  enterprise  as  a  whole  (and  not  to  any  specific  intangible  asset)  and  was 
therefore allocated to goodwill.   The goodwill has an indeterminate life and therefore will not be amortized. 

Each  of  the  business  combinations,  indicated  above,  has  been  accounted  for  using  the  purchase 
method.  Accordingly, allocations of the total acquisition cost to the net assets acquired were made based upon 
the fair value of such assets and liabilities assumed with respect to the transactions, with the remainder, if any, 
allocated  to  goodwill.      Accordingly,  allocations  of  the  total  acquisition  cost  to  the  net  assets  acquired  were 
made based upon the fair value of such assets and liabilities assumed with respect to the transactions occurring 
in 2002, 2001, and 2000 are summarized as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
December 31, 2002 

During  2002,  we  adopted  a  business  plan  that  included  the  closure  of  several  non-strategic 
containerized storage facilities (the “Closed Facilities”), representing components of our containerized storage 
business.   The related assets of the Closed Facilities (consisting primarily of storage containers) were deemed 
not recoverable from future operations, and as a result an asset impairment charge for the excess of these assets’ 
net  book  value  over  their  fair  value  was  recorded  in  2002  totaling  $6,187,000.  In  addition,  lease  termination 
costs, representing the expected remaining lease liability following closure of the facilities, were recorded in the 
amount of $2,447,000 for 2002.   

In  accordance  with  SFAS  144,  the  historical  operations  of  the  Closed  Facilities  (including  the  asset 
impairment and lease termination costs) are classified as discontinued operations, with the rental income, cost 
of operations, and depreciation expense with respect to these facilities for current and prior periods included in 
the line-item “Discontinued Operations” on the income statement.   

During 2002, we sold one of our commercial facilities to a third party.  The historical operations with 

respect to this facility for current and prior periods is included in Discontinued Operations. 

The following table summarizes the historical operations of the Closed Facilities and the commercial 

property sold:

During 2002, we opened 14 newly developed traditional self-storage facilities with an aggregate cost 
of  $92,109,000  and  two  newly  developed  facilities  that  combine  traditional  self-storage  facilities  and 
containerized  storage  facilities  in  the  same  location  (“Combination  Facilities”)  with  an  aggregate  cost  of 
$14,852,000.  We also completed expansions to existing self-storage facilities with a total cost of $27,814,000.  
and acquired nine self-storage facilities, in separate transactions from third parties, for $30,117,000 cash.

$19,936,000 cash and a note receivable of $305,000.  An aggregate gain of $4,091,000 was recorded on these 
dispositions.  

During  2000,  we  acquired  a  total  of  13  facilities  for  an aggregate cost of $82,163,000 in connection 
with  a  business  combination  (Note  3).    In  addition,  we  acquired  7  storage  facilities  from  third  parties  for  an 
aggregate of $41,638,000 cash, and 5 storage facilities from entities in which we had an equity interest for at an 
aggregate  cost  of  $19,539,000,  composed  of  $15,370,000  cash,  the  issuance  of  Equity  Stock,  Series  A

$5,930,000 cash.  

During  2000,  we  opened  18  newly-developed  traditional  self-storage  facilities  at  a  total  cost  of 
$82,819,000,  5  combination  facilities  at  a  total  cost  of  $33,321,000  and  opened  an  industrial  facility  we  had 
acquired  and  renovated  for  use  in  the  containerized  storage  operations  at  a  total  cost  of  $6,518,000.        In

receivable ($3,690,000).  An aggregate gain of $296,000 was recorded on these dispositions.  

At  December  31,  2002,  the  unaudited  adjusted  basis  of  real  estate  facilities  for  Federal  income  tax 

purposes was approximately $3.0 billion.  

Construction in process and land held for development 

Construction in process consists of land and development costs relating to the development of storage 
facilities. At December 31, 2002, construction in process consists primarily of 20 facilities being developed on 
newly acquired land and the expansion of 16 existing self-storage facilities. In addition, we have nine parcels of 
land held for development with total costs of approximately $17,807,000.

Investments in real estate entities 

At  December  31,  2002,  our  investments  in real estate entities consist of ownership interests in seven 
partnerships, which principally own self-storage facilities, and our ownership interest in PSB.  These interests 
are  non-controlling  interests  of  less  than  50%  and  are  accounted  for  using  the  equity  method  of  accounting. 
Accordingly,  earnings  are  recognized  based  upon  our  ownership  interest  in  each  of  the  partnerships.    The 
accounting policies of these entities are similar to the Company’s.   

During  2002,  2001  and  2000,  we  recognized  earnings  from  our  investments  of  $29,888,000, 
$38,542,000 and $39,319,000, respectively, and received cash distributions totaling $19,496,000, $24,124,000 
and  $16,984,000,  respectively.      In  addition,  during  2002  and  2000,  we  recognized  gains  of  $3,737,000  and 
$3,210,000,  respectively,  representing  our  share  of  PSB’s  gains  on  sale  of  real  estate  and  real  estate 
investments;  these  gains  are  presented  in  “Equity  in  earnings  from  real  estate  entities”  in  our  consolidated 
income statement.   

During 2002, 2001, and 2000, we invested a total of $223,000, $15,954,000, and $37,406,000 in the 

real estate entities.

Included in equity in earnings for 2002 and 2000 is our pro rata share of PSB’s gain on sale of real estate in the amount 
of $3,737,000 and $3,210,000, respectively. 

(b)  Represents amounts associated with investments no longer held as of December 31, 2002. As described in Note 3, in 
2002 we began consolidating the results of the Development Joint Venture and two other partnerships (the Acquired 
Partnerships), and as a result eliminated our respective investment in each entity. 

Investment in PS Business Parks, Inc. 

On January 2, 1997, we reorganized our commercial property operations into an entity now known as 
PS  Business  Parks,  Inc.,  a  REIT  traded  on  the  American  Stock  Exchange,  and  an  operating  partnership 
controlled  by  PS  Business  Parks,  Inc.  (collectively,  the  REIT  and  the  operating  partnership  are  referred  to as 
“PSB”).  The Company and certain partnerships in which the Company has a controlling interest have a 44% 
common equity interest in PSB as of December 31, 2001.  This 44% common equity interest is comprised of the 
ownership  of  5,418,273  shares  of  common  stock  and  7,305,355  limited  partnership  units  in  the  operating 
partnership; these limited partnership units are convertible at our option, subject to certain conditions, on a one-
for-one  basis  into  PSB  common  stock.    Based  upon  PSB’s  trading  price  at  December  31,  2002  ($31.80),  the 
shares  and  units  had  a  market  value  of  approximately  $404.6  million  as  compared  to  a  book value of $273.8 
million. 

At December 31, 2002, PSB owned and operated approximately 14.4 million net rentable square feet 
of commercial space.  In addition, PSB manages 992,000 net rentable square feet of  commercial space owned 
by the Company and the Consolidated Entities pursuant to property mangement agreements. 

The following table sets forth the condensed statements of operations for each of the two years ended 
December 31, 2002, and the condensed balance sheets of PSB at December 31, 2002 and 2001. These amounts 
below represent 100% of PSB’s balances and not our pro-rata share.

Revolving line of credit 

We have a $200 million revolving line of credit (the “Credit Agreement”) that has a maturity date of 
October 31, 2004 and bears an annual interest rate ranging from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) 
plus  0.45%  to  LIBOR  plus  1.50%  depending  on  our  credit  ratings  (currently  0.45%).    In  addition,  we  are 
required to pay a quarterly commitment fee ranging from 0.20% per annum to 0.30% per annum depending on 
our credit ratings (currently the fee is 0.20% per annum).  At December 31, 2002, we had no borrowings on our 
line of credit.

The  Credit  Agreement  includes  various  covenants,  the  more  significant  of  which  requires  us  to  (i) 
maintain  a  balance  sheet  leverage  ratio  of  less  than  0.50  to  1.00,  (ii)  maintain  certain  quarterly  interest  and 
fixed-charge  coverage  ratios  (as  defined)  of  not  less  than  2.50  to  1.0  and  1.75  to  1.0,  respectively,  and  (iii) 
maintain a minimum total shareholders’ equity (as defined).  In addition, we are limited in our ability to incur 
additional borrowings (we are required to maintain unencumbered assets with an aggregate book value equal to 
or greater than two times our unsecured recourse debt).  We were in compliance with all the covenants of the 
Credit Agreement at December 31, 2002.

All of our notes payable are fixed rate.  The senior notes require interest and principal payments to be 

paid semi-annually and have various restrictive covenants, all of which have been met at December 31, 2002. 

The 10.55% mortgage notes consist of five notes, which are cross-collateralized by 19 properties and 
are  due  to  a  life  insurance  company.   Although there is a negative spread between the carrying value and the 
estimated  fair  value  of  the  notes,  the  notes  provide  for  the  prepayment  of  principal subject to the payment of 
penalties, which exceed this negative spread.  Accordingly, prepayment of the notes at this time would not be 
economically practicable (unaudited). 

Mortgage notes payable are secured by 24 real estate facilities having an aggregate net book value of 

approximately $56.4 million at December 31, 2002.  

At December 31, 2002, approximate principal maturities of notes payable are as follows:

Minority interest 

In consolidation, we classify ownership interests in the net assets of each of the Consolidated Entities, 
other than our own, as minority interest on the consolidated financial statements.  Minority interest in income 
consists  of  the  minority  interests’  share  of  the  operating  results  of  the  Company  relating  to  the  consolidated 
operations of the Consolidated Entities.  

Preferred partnership interests: 

During  2000,  one  of  our  consolidated  operating  partnerships  issued  in  aggregate  $365.0  million  of 
preferred  partnership  units:    March  17,  2000,  -  $240.0  million  of  9.5%  Series  N  Cumulative  Redeemable 
Perpetual  Preferred  Units,  March  29,  2000  -  $75.0  million  of  9.125%  Series  O  Cumulative  Redeemable 
Perpetual  Preferred  Units,  and  August  11,  2000  -  $50.0  million  of  8.75%  Series  P  Cumulative  Redeemable 
Perpetual Preferred Units.   

We  incurred  approximately  $3,750,000  in  costs  in  connection  with  the  issuances;  these  costs  were 
recorded as a reduction to Paid in Capital during 2000.  The issuance of these units in 2000 had the effect of 
increasing minority interest by $365.0 million.  For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the holders 
of  these  preferred  units  were  paid  in  aggregate  approximately  $26,906,000  and  $31,737,000,  respectively,  in 
distributions and received an equivalent allocation of minority interest in earnings. 

During 2001,  we repurchased all of the 8.75% Series P Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred 
Units amount and $30 million of the 9.125% Series O Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units.  The 
units were repurchased at an amount equal to the original issuance price.   

The following table summarizes the preferred partnership units outstanding:

Consolidated Development Joint Venture  

In  November  1999,  we  formed  a  development  joint  venture  (the  “Consolidated  Development  Joint 
Venture”)  with  a  joint  venture  partner  (PSAC  Storage  Investors,  LLC)  whose  partners  include  a  third  party 
institutional  investor  and  Mr.  Hughes,  to  develop  approximately  $100  million  of  storage  facilities  and  to 
purchase $100 million of the Company’s Equity Stock, Series AAA (see Note 10). At December 31, 2002, the 
Consolidated  Development  Joint  Venture  was  fully  committed,  having  completed  construction  on  22  storage 
facilities with a total cost of approximately $108.5 million.

PUBLIC STORAGE, INC. 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
December 31, 2002 

The  Consolidated  Development  Joint  Venture  is  funded  solely  with  equity  capital  consisting  of  51% 
from  the  Company  and  49%  from  PSAC  Storage  Investors.    The  accounts  of  the  Consolidated  Development 
Joint Venture are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  The accounts of PSAC Storage 
Investors  are  not  included  in  the  Company’s  consolidated  financial  statements,  as  the  Company  has  no 
ownership  interest  in  this  entity.    Minority  interests  primarily  represent  the  total  contributions  received  from 
PSAC Storage Investors combined with the accumulated net income allocated to PSAC Storage Investors, net 
of  cumulative  distributions.    The  amounts  included  in  our  financial  statements  with  respect  to  the  minority 
interest in the Consolidated Development Joint Venture are denoted in the tables above. 

The term of the Consolidated Development Joint Venture is 15 years; however, during the sixth year 
PSAC  Storage  Investors  has  the  right  to  cause  an  early  termination  of  the  partnership.    If  PSAC  Storage 
Investors  exercises  this  right,  we  then  have  the  option,  but  not  the  obligation,  to  acquire  their  interest  for  an 
amount that will allow them to receive an annual return of 10.75%.  If the Company does not exercise its option 
to  acquire  PSAC  Storage  Investors’  interest,  the  partnership’s  assets  will  be  sold  to  third  parties  and  the 
proceeds  distributed  to  the  Company  and  PSAC  Storage  Investors  in  accordance  with  the  partnership 
agreement.  If PSAC Storage Investors does not exercise its right to early termination during the sixth year, the 
partnership will be liquidated 15 years after its formation with the assets sold to third parties and the proceeds 
distributed to the Company and PSAC Storage Investors in accordance with the partnership agreement. 

PSAC  Storage  Investors,  LLC  provides  Mr.  Hughes  with  a  fixed  yield  of  approximately  8.0%  per 
annum  on  his  preferred  non-voting  interest  (representing  an  investment  of  approximately  $64.1  million  at 
December  31,  2002  and  2001).    In  addition,  Mr.  Hughes  receives  1%  of  the  remaining  cash  flow  of  PSAC 
Storage Investors, LLC (estimated to be less than $50,000 per year). If PSAC Storage Investors, LLC does not 
elect to cause an early termination, Mr. Hughes’ 1% interest in residual cash flow can increase to 10%. 

In consolidation,  the Equity Stock, Series AAA owned by the joint venture and the related dividend 
income has been eliminated.  Minority interests primarily represent the total contributions received from PSAC 
Storage  Investors  combined  with  the  accumulated  net  income  allocated  to  PSAC  Storage  Investors,  net  of 
cumulative distributions.  

Convertible Partnership Units 

As  of  December  31,  2002,  one  of  our  Consolidated  Entities  had  approximately  237,935  operating 
partnership  units  (“Convertible  Units”)  outstanding,  representing  a  limited  partnership  interest  in  the 
partnership.   The Convertible Units are convertible on a one-for-one basis (subject to certain limitations) into 
common  shares  of  the  Company  at  the  option  of  the  unitholder.    Minority  interest  in  income  with  respect  to 
Convertible  Units  reflects  the  Convertible  Units’  share  of  the  net  income  of  the  Company,  with  net  income 
allocated  to  minority  interests  with  respect  to  weighted  average  outstanding  Convertible  Units  on  a  per  unit 
basis  equal to diluted earnings per common share.  During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, no 
units were converted.  During the year ended December 31, 2000, 277,104 Convertible Units were redeemed in 
connection  with  the  sale  of  real  estate  facilities  (reducing  minority  interest  by  $6,427,000)  and  255,853 
Convertible  Units  were  converted  into  shares  of  the  Company’s  common  stock (reducing minority interest by 
$6,829,000).  

Newly consolidated partnerships 

As  described  in  Note  3,  effective  January  1,  2002,  we  began  consolidating  the  results  of  two 

partnerships owning 31 properties, and as a result, minority interest increased by $14,806,000 in 2002.

Other consolidated partnerships 

At  December  31,  2002,  the  Other  Consolidated  Partnerships  reflect  common equity interests that the 

Company does not own in 23 entities owning an aggregate of 141 real estate facilities.   

During fiscal 2002, we acquired minority interests in the Consolidated Entities for an aggregate cash 
cost  of  $27,544,000  and  issued  an  aggregate  of  1,091,608  shares  ($37,904,000)  of  our  common  stock;  these 
acquisitions had the effect of reducing minority interest by $25,668,000, with the excess of cost over underlying 
book value ($39,780,000) allocated to real estate.  

In  addition,  during  2002,  we  recorded  the  pending  sale  of  a  partnership  interest  in  the  Consolidated 
Entities for an aggregate of $1,450,000.  We recorded a loss on sale of the interest in the amount of $1,839,000.  
As a result of this pending sale, minority interest increased by $3,289,000. This sale is subject to litigation; see 
Note 16. 

During 2001, we acquired minority interests in the Consolidated Entities for an aggregate cash cost of 
$11,841,000; these acquisitions had the effect of reducing minority interest by $8,743,000, with the excess of 
cost over underlying book value ($3,098,000) to real estate.

In  addition,  on  March  31,  2003  (unaudited),  we  will  redeem  all  outstanding  shares  of  our  9.20%

less, holders of all outstanding series of preferred stock (voting as a single class without regard to series) will 
have  the  right  to  elect  two  additional  members  to  serve  on  the  Company’s  Board  of  Directors  until  events of 
default  have  been  cured.    At  December  31,  2002,  there  were  no  dividends  in  arrears  and  the  Debt  Ratio  was

December 31, 2002 

(a)  Includes 10,000 shares purchased in January 2001 from a corporation wholly-owned by a director of the Company for an 
aggregate of $251,875 cash.  Includes 2,619,893 shares purchased in March 2001 from a limited liability company of which 
a  director  of  the  Company  is  a  controlling  member  for  an  aggregate  of  $68,064,820  in  cash.      In  each  transaction,  the 
purchase price approximated market value as of the date of each transaction. 

As previously announced, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase from time to time of up to 
10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. 
On March 4, 2000, the Board of Directors increased the authorized number of shares that the Company could 
repurchase  to  15,000,000.    On  March  15,  2001,  the  Board  of  Directors  increased  the  authorized  number  of 
shares  the  Company  could  repurchase  to  20,000,000.    During  2001,  the  Board  of  Directors  increased  the 
authorized  number  of  shares  the  Company  could  repurchase  to  25,000,000.    Cumulatively  through  December 
31, 2002, we repurchased a total of 21,497,020 shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of approximately 
$535,862,000.  

During  2001,  we  entered  into  an  arrangement  with  a  financial  institution  whereby  we  sold  to  the 
institution the right to require us to purchase from the institution (or, at our option, pay in cash or common stock 
the differential between the market price and $26.26 per share) up to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at a 
price of $26.26 on certain dates in September 2001 and October 2001.   In exchange for this right, the financial 
institution paid us $910,000, the amount of which was reflected as an increase to our paid-in capital.  The right 
expired without being exercised. 

At  December  31,  2002,  we  had  10,291,914  shares  of  common  stock reserved in connection with the 
Company’s stock option plans (Note 12), 7,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for the conversion of the 
Class B Common Stock and 237,935 shares reserved for the conversion of Convertible Units. 

Class B Common Stock 

The  Class  B  Common  Stock  participates  in  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.    The  Class  B  Common  Stock  will  not  participate  in  liquidating 
distributions, not be entitled to vote (except as expressly required by California law) and automatically converts 
into Common Stock, on a share for share basis, upon the later to occur of FFO, as defined, per common share 
aggregating  $3.00  during  any  period  of  four  consecutive  calendar  quarters  or  January  1,  2003.  The financial 
condition of attaining FFO per common share was met on March 31, 2002, accordingly, on January 1, 2003, the 
Class B Common Stock converted into Common Stock on a share for share basis. 

Equity Stock 

The  Company  is  authorized  to  issue  up  to  200,000,000  shares  of  Equity  Stock.    The  Articles  of 
Incorporation provide that the Equity Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series and gives the 
Board  of  Directors  broad  authority  to  fix  the  dividend  and  distribution  rights,  conversion  and  voting  rights, 
redemption provisions and liquidation rights of each series of Equity Stock. 

Equity Stock, Series A 

As  of  December  31,  2002,  there  were  8,776,102  depositary  shares,  each  representing  1/1,000  of  a 

share, of Equity Stock, Series A outstanding.  The following table summarizes the activity:

income  tax  status  as  a  REIT,  we  may  not  redeem  the  depositary  shares  before  March  31,  2010.    On  or  after 
March  31,  2010,  we  may,  at  our  option,  redeem  the  depositary  shares  at  $24.50  per  depositary  share.    If  the 
Company fails to preserve its federal income tax status as a REIT, each depositary share will be convertible into 
0.956  shares  of  our  common  stock.    The  depositary  shares  are  otherwise  not  convertible  into  common  stock.  
Holders of depositary shares vote as a single class with our holders of common stock on shareholder matters, 
but the depositary shares have the equivalent of one-tenth of a vote per depositary share. We have no obligation 
to pay distributions if no distributions are paid to common shareholders.  

Equity Stock, Series AA 

In June 1997, we contributed $22,500,000 (225,000 shares) of equity stock, now designated as Equity 
Stock, Series AA (Equity Stock AA”) to a partnership in which we are the general partner.  The Company has a 
controlling interest in the partnership and therefore consolidates the accounts of the partnership.  As a result, the 
Equity  Stock  AA  is  eliminated  in  consolidation.    The  Equity  Stock  AA  ranks  on  a  parity  with  our  common 
stock  and  junior  to  the  Cumulative  Preferred  Stock  with  respect  to  general  preference  rights  and  has  a 
liquidation  amount  of  ten  times  the  amount  paid  to  each  common  share  up  to  a  maximum  of $100 per share.  
Quarterly distributions per share on the Equity Stock AA are equal to the lesser of (i) 10 times the amount paid 
per  share  of  Common  Stock  or  (ii)  $2.20.    We  have  no  obligation  to  pay  distributions  on  these  shares  if  no 
distributions are paid to common shareholders.  

If the Company determines that it is necessary to maintain its status as a Real Estate Investment Trust, 
subject  to  certain  limitations  it  may  cause  the  redemption  of  shares  of  Equity  Stock,  Series  AA  at  a  price  of 
$100 per share.  The shares are not otherwise redeemable or convertible into shares of any other class or series 
of  the  Company’s  capital  stock.    Other  than  as  required  by  law,  the  Equity  Stock,  Series  AA  has  no  voting 
rights.

Equity Stock, Series AAA 

In  November  1999,  we  sold  $100,000,000  (4,289,544  shares) of Equity Stock, Series AAA (“Equity 
Stock AAA”) to a newly formed joint venture.  We control the joint venture and consolidate the accounts of the 
joint  venture,  and  accordingly  the  Equity  Stock  AAA  is  eliminated  in  consolidation.    The Equity Stock AAA 
ranks on a parity with our common stock and junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock (as defined below) with 
respect to general preference rights, and has a liquidation amount equal to 120% of the amount distributed to 
each common share.  Annual distributions per share are equal to the lesser of (i) five times the amount paid per 
common share or (ii) $2.1564.  We have no obligation to pay distributions on these shares if no distributions are 
paid to common stockholders. 

Upon  liquidation  of  the  Consolidated  Development  Joint  Venture,  at  the  Company’s  option  either  a) 
each share of Equity Stock, Series AAA shall convert into 1.2 shares of our common stock or b) the Company 
can  redeem  the  Equity  Stock,  Series  AAA  at  a  per  share  amount  equal  to  120%  of  the  market  price  of  our 
common  stock.      In  addition,  if  the  Company  determines  that  it  is  necessary  to  maintain  its  status  as  a  Real 
Estate  Investment  Trust,  subject  to  certain  limitations  it  may  cause  the  redemption  of  shares  of  Equity  Stock, 
Series AAA at a per share amount equal to 120% of the market price of our common stock.  The shares are not 
otherwise  redeemable  or  convertible  into  shares  of  any  other  class  or  series  of  the  Company’s  capital  stock.  
Other than as required by law, the Equity Stock, Series AAA has no voting rights.  

Dividends 

On August 9, 2001, the Board of Directors increased the quarterly distribution paid on the Company’s 
common  stock  from  $0.22  to  $0.45,  an  increase  of  $0.23  or  104.5%  over  the  previous  quarterly  distribution. 
Also on this date, the Board of Directors declared a special distribution to the common shareholders of $0.35 
per common share in cash, which was paid on September 30, 2001. 

The  unaudited  characterization  of  dividends  for  Federal  income  tax  purposes  is  made  based  upon 
earnings and profits of the Company, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code.  Distributions declared in 2002, 
by  the  Board  of  Directors  on  our  common  stock,  Equity  Stock,  Series  A,  and  all  the  various  preferred  stock 
series were characterized 100% as ordinary income. 

The following summarizes dividends during 2002, 2001 and 2000:

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%  per  annum.    The  dividend  rate  with  respect  to  the  first 
quarter of 2003 will be equal to 6.75% per annum.

Related Party Transactions 

On  December  31,  2001,  the  Company  purchased  all  of  the  capital  stock  of  PS  Insurance  Company 
from  B.  Wayne  Hughes,  who  is  Chairman,  and  at  the  time  was  chief  executive  officer  of  the  Company,  and

In  November  1999,  we  formed  the  Consolidated  Development  Joint  Venture  with  a  joint  venture 
partner  whose  partners  include  an  institutional  investor  and  Mr.  Hughes.    This  transaction  is  discussed  more 
fully in Note 8.  

Ronald  L. Havner, Jr. is our vice-chairman and chief executive officer, and he is chairman and chief 

executive officer of PSB. Mr. Havner’s compensation is allocated between the Company and PSB.

On December 31, 2001, the Company acquired equity interests in the Consolidated Entities from Mr. 
Hughes  for  a  cash  price  of  $786,770,  a  price  representing  the  Hughes  family’s  original  cost  in  these  equity 
interests.  This amount is included in the acquisition of minority interests described as the “Other consolidated 
partnerships” in Note 9. 

In  January  2001,  the  Company  repurchased  10,000  shares  of  common  stock  from  a  corporation 
wholly-owned by a director of the Company for an aggregate of $251,875 cash.  In March 2001, the Company 
repurchased  2,619,893  shares  of  common  stock  from  a  limited  liability  company  of  which  a  director  of  the 
Company is a controlling member for an aggregate of $68,064,820 cash.  In each transaction, the purchase price 
approximated market value as of the date of each transaction. 

In  December  2001,  the  Company  loaned  $35,000,000  to  PSB.    This  loan  bore  interest  at  the  rate  of 
3.25% per year. This loan, which was repaid in full on January 28, 2002, was included in Notes Receivable at 
December 31, 2001.  

In  June  2002,  we  sold  an  undeveloped  parcel  of  land  at  cost  to  PSB for an aggregate of $1,100,000 

cash. 

PSB  manages  certain  of  the  commercial  facilities  owned  by  the  Company  pursuant  to  management 
agreements for a management fee equal to 5% of revenues.  The Company paid a total of $578,000, $642,000, 
and  $589,000,  respectively,  in  2002,  2001  and  2000  in  management  fees  with  respect  to  PSB’s  property 
management services.

Stock options 

The  Company  has  a 1990 Stock Option Plan (the “1990 Plan”) which provides for the grant of non-
qualified stock options.  The Company has a 1994 Stock Option Plan (the “1994 Plan”), a 1996 Stock Option 
and Incentive Plan (the “1996 Plan”) and a 2000 Non-Executive/Non-Director Stock Option and Incentive Plan 
(the  “2000  Plan”),  each  of  which  provides  for  the  grant  of  non-qualified  options  and  incentive  stock  options.  
(The 1990 Plan,  the 1994 Plan, the 1996 Plan and the 2000 Plan are collectively referred to as the “PSI Plans”).  
Under  the  PSI  Plans,  the  Company  has  granted  non-qualified  options  to  certain  directors,  officers  and  key 
employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to the fair market value of the 
common stock at the date of grant.  Generally, options under the Plans vest over a three-year period from the 
date of grant at the rate of one-third per year and expire (i) under the 1990 Plan, five years after the date they 
became exercisable and (ii) under the 1994 Plan, the 1996 Plan and the 2000 Plan, ten years after the date of 
grant.  The 1996 Plan and the 2000 Plan also provide for the grant of restricted stock to officers,  key employees 
and service providers on terms determined by an authorized committee of the Board of Directors;  no shares of 
restricted stock have been granted.  In connection with the Storage Trust merger in March 1999, we assumed 
the outstanding non-qualified options under the Storage Trust Realty 1994 Share Incentive Plan (the “Storage 
Trust  Plan”),  which  were  converted  into  non-qualified  options  to  purchase  our  common  stock  (the  PSI  Plans 
and the Storage Trust Plan are collectively referred to as the “Plans.”)

Accounting for stock options 

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States permit, but do not require, companies to 
recognize compensation expense for stock-based awards based on their fair value at date of grant, which is then 
amortized  as  compensation  expense  over  the  vesting  period  (the  “Fair  Value  Method”).    Companies  can  also 
elect  to  disclose,  but  not  recognize  as  an  expense,  stock  option  expense  when  stock  options  are  granted  to 
employees at an exercise price equal to the market price at the date of grant (the “APB 25 Method”).  

Companies can change their accounting method from the APB 25 Method to the Fair Value Method, 
and  in  doing  so  can  elect  between  three  different  methods  of  transition.    The  first  is  the  prospective  method, 
whereby the Company applies the recognition provisions of the Fair Value Method to all stock options granted 
after the beginning of the fiscal year in which the company adopts the Fair Value Method.  The second is the 
retroactive restatement method, whereby the company restates all periods presented to reflect compensation cost 
utilizing  the  fair  value  method  for  all  periods.    The  third  is  the  modified  prospective  method,  where  the 
company applies the Fair Value Method from the beginning of the current fiscal year with respect to all options 
which vest during the year regardless of when they were granted 

For periods prior to December 31, 2001, we utilized the APB 25 Method of accounting for employee 
stock  options.    As  of  January  1,  2002,  we  adopted  the  Fair  Value  Method,  and  have  elected  to  use  the 
prospective  method  of  transition  described  above.    Accordingly,  we  recognize  compensation  expense  in  our 
income statement using the Fair Value Method only with respect to stock options issued after January 1, 2002. 

The following table sets forth financial disclosures with respect to the accounting for stock options:

Disclosures regarding segment reporting 

Description of each reportable segment 

Our  reportable  segments  reflect  significant  operating  activities  that  are  evaluated  separately  by 
management.    We  have  four  reportable  segments:  self-storage  operations,  containerized  storage  operations,  
commercial property operations, and tenant reinsurance operations.

PUBLIC STORAGE, INC. 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
December 31, 2002 

The  self-storage  segment  comprises  the  direct  ownership,  development,  and  operation  of  traditional 
storage  facilities,  and  the  ownership  of  equity  interests  in  entities  that  own  storage  properties.    The 
containerized  storage  operations  represent  another  segment.    The  commercial  property  segment  reflects  our 
interest  in  the  ownership,  operation,  and  management  of  commercial  properties.    The  vast  majority  of  the 
commercial  property  operations  are  conducted  through  PSB,  and  to  a  much  lesser  extent  the  Company  and 
certain  of  its  unconsolidated  subsidiaries  own  commercial  space,  managed  by  PSB,  within  facilities  that 
combines storage and commercial space for rent.  The tenant reinsurance segment reflects the operations of PS 
Insurance  Company,  which  reinsures  policies  against  losses  to  goods  stored  by  tenants  in  our  self-storage 
facilities 

Measurement of segment profit or loss 

We evaluate performance and allocate resources based upon the net segment income of each segment.  
Net segment income represents net income in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the 
United  States  and  our  significant  accounting  policies  as  denoted  in  Note  2,  before  interest  and  other  income, 
interest  expense,  corporate  general  and  administrative  expense,  and  minority  interest  in  income.    The 
accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant 
Accounting Policies.  

Interest and other income, interest expense, corporate general and administrative expense, and minority 
interest  in  income  are  not  allocated  to  segments  because  management  does  not  utilize  them  to  evaluate  the 
results of operations of each segment.   

Measurement of segment assets 

No segment data relative to assets or liabilities is presented, because management does not consider the 
historical  cost  of  the  Company’s  real  estate  facilities  and  investments  in  real  estate  entities  in  evaluating  the 
performance  of  operating  management  or in evaluating alternative courses of action.  The only other types of 
assets  that  might  be  allocated  to  individual  segments  are  trade  receivables,  payables,  and  other  assets  which 
arise in the ordinary course of business, but they are also not a significant factor in the measurement of segment 
performance.   

Presentation of segment information 

Our income statement provides most of the information required in order to determine the performance 
of each of the Company’s three segments.  The following tables reconcile the performance of each segment, in 
terms  of  segment  revenues  and  segment  income,  to  our  consolidated  revenues  and  net  income.      It  further 
provides  detail  of  the  segment  components  of  the  income  statement  item,  “Equity  in  earnings  of  real  estate 
entities.”

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
December 31, 2002 

On April 28, 2003 we expect to acquire all of the 52,851 limited partnership units that we did not own 
in PS Partners IV, Ltd., a partnership which is consolidated with the Company.  The acquisition of the 52,851 
units  will  be  accomplished  through  a  merger  of  a  subsidiary  of  the  Company  into  the  partnership  and  the 
conversion of the 52,851 units into either cash or common stock of the Company.  Each unit will be converted 
into the right to receive a value of $442 in our common stock or, cash at the election of the unitholder.   

15. 

Recent accounting pronouncements and guidance 

In  June  2002,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting 
Standards No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (“FAS 146”), which is 
effective for disposal activities entered into after December 31, 2002, with early adoption encouraged. FAS 146 
requires  that  a  liability  for  costs  associated  with  exit  or  disposal  activities  be  recognized  when  the  liability  is 
incurred.  Current accounting principles generally accepted in the United States result in the recognition of such 
liabilities at the time management has committed to an exit plan.   There would have been no material impact 
upon  the  Company’s  income  statement  if  we  had  early  adopted  this  standard  in  2002.      The  impact  of  this 
statement on the Company’s future operating results cannot be determined at this time, because such impact is 
dependent upon the Company’s future level of exit and disposal activities, which is unknown.

Commitments and Contingencies 

Legal proceedings 

Salaam, et. Al V. Public Storage, Inc. (filed February 2000) 

The plaintiffs in this case are suing the Company on behalf of a purported class of California resident 
property  managers  who  claim  that  they  were  not  compensated  for  all  the  hours  they  worked.    The  named 
plaintiffs have indicated that their claims total less than $20,000 in aggregate.  This maximum potential liability 
cannot be estimated, but can only be increased if a class is certified or if claims are permitted to be brought on 
behalf  of  the  others  under  the  California  Unfair  Business  Practices  Act.    The  plaintiffs’  motion  for  class 
certification was denied in August 2002; the plaintiffs have appealed this denial.  This denial does not deal with 
the claim under the California Unfair Business Practices Act. 

The  Company  is  continuing  to  vigorously  contest  the  claims  in  this  case  and  intends  to  resist  any 
expansion  beyond  the  named  plaintiffs  on  the  grounds  of  lack  of  commonality  of  claims.    The  Company’s 
resistance  will  include  opposing  the  plaintiffs’  appeal  of  the  court’s denial of class certification and opposing 
the claim on behalf of others under the California Unfair Business Practices Act. 

Henriquez v. Public Storage, Inc. (Filed June 2002; Dismissed January, 2003) 

The plaintiff in this case filed a suit against the Company on behalf of a purported class of renters who 
rented  self-storage  units  from  the  Company.  Plaintiff  alleged  that  the  Company  misrepresents  the  size  of  its 
units  and  sought  damages  and  injunctive  and  declaratory  relief  under  California  statutory  and  common  law 
relating  to  consumer  protection,  unfair  competition,  fraud  and  deceit  and  negligent  misrepresentation.  In 
January  2003,  the  plaintiff  caused  this  suit  to  be  dismissed.  The  plaintiff’s  attorney  has  advised  that  he 
anticipates  filing  a  similar  suit  against  the  Company  on  behalf  of  a  new  plaintiff.    The  Company  cannot 
presently determine the potential total damages, if any, or the ultimate outcome of any such litigation.  If a new 
suit is filed, the Company intends to vigorously contest any claims on which it is based.

PUBLIC STORAGE, INC. 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
December 31, 2002 

The Company is a party to various claims, complaints, and other legal actions that have arisen in the 
normal course of business from time to time, that are not described above.  We believe that it is unlikely that the 
outcome of these other pending legal proceedings, in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect upon the 
operations or financial position of the Company. 

Sale of Partnership Units   

In February 2000, the Company entered into a settlement of litigation arising out of a 1997 tender offer 
for  limited  partnership  units  in  two  affiliated  partnerships.    Under  the  settlement  agreement,  the  Company 
agreed to sell to the plaintiff units representing a 4% interest in each of the partnerships for a total payment of 
approximately $1,523,000.  The plaintiff failed to tender the full purchase price at the scheduled closing and the 
settlement collapsed. 

In  September  2000,  the  plaintiff  amended  its  complaint  to  add  a  claim  for  breach  of  the  settlement 
agreement seeking specific enforcement and a claim seeking damages for unfair and deceptive trade practices in 
connection with the alleged breach.  By amending the complaint the Company believes the plaintiff elected to 
abandon  its  underlying  claims  in  the  litigation.    The  Company  asserted  affirmative  defenses  including  the 
material breach by the plaintiff.  Cross motions for summary judgment were filed by the parties.  In July 2002, 
the court granted plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment as to its claim for breach of the settlement agreement 
and granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment to dismiss plaintiff’s claim for unfair and deceptive 
trade practices. 

In March 2003, the court granted plaintiff’s motion to compel the sale of the units to the plaintiff.  The 
Company  is  considering  whether  to  appeal.    If  the  Company  is  compelled  to  sell  the  units  to  plaintiff,  the 
Company  would  incur  a  loss  of  approximately  $1,839,000,  which  has  been  accrued  as  a  loss  on  sale  of  real 
estate investments in the Company’s income statement during 2002. 

Insurance and Loss Exposure 

Our  facilities  have  historically  carried  comprehensive  insurance,  including  fire,  earthquake,  liability 
and extended coverage through STOR-Re, one of the Consolidated Entities, and insures portions of these risks 
through nationally recognized insurance carriers.   STOR-Re also insures affiliates of the Company. 

The  Company,  Stor-RE,  and  its  affiliates’  maximum  aggregate  annual  exposure  for  losses  that  are 
below  the  deductibles  set  forth  in  the  third-party  insurance  contracts,  assuming  multiple  significant  events 
occur, is approximately $30 million.  In addition, if losses exhaust the third-party insurers’ limit of coverage of 
$125,000,000  for  property  coverage  and  $101,000,000  for  general  liability,  our  exposure  could  be  greater.  
These  limits  are  higher  than  estimates  of  maximum  probable  losses  that  could  occur  from  individual 
catastrophic events (i.e., earthquake and wind damage) determined in recent engineering and actuarial studies. 

PS  Insurance  Company  reinsures  policies  against  claims  for  losses  to  goods  stored  by  tenants  at  our 
self-storage  facilities  (see  Note  3).  PSIC  reinsures  its  risks  with  third-party  insures  from  any  individual  event 
that exceeds a loss of $500,000 up to the policy limit of $10,000,000.
