                                     SUMMARY

Public Storage
- --------------

     o    Public Storage is the distributing company and at the time of the
          distribution will own all of the capital stock of Orangeco.

     o    Public Storage is a fully integrated, self-administered and
          self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") that acquires,
          develops, owns and operates mini-warehouses, which are self-service
          facilities offering storage space for personal and business use.

     o    Public Storage is the largest owner and operator of mini-warehouses in
          the United States. At December 31, 1999, Public Storage had equity
          interests (through direct ownership, as well as general and limited
          partnership interests) in 1,330 mini-warehouses and storage facilities
          in 37 states.

     o    Public Storage also owns a substantial economic interest in PS
          Business Parks, Inc., and its operating partnership, which, as of
          December 31, 1999, owned and operated 125 commercial properties in 11
          states.

     o    The Public Storage common stock and 13 series of Public Storage
          preferred stock are traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

     o    Public Storage has elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income
          tax purposes. To the extent that Public Storage continues to qualify
          as a REIT, it will not be taxed, with certain limited exceptions, on
          the net income that is distributed currently to its shareholders.

Orangeco
- --------

         At the time of the distribution, Orangeco, either directly or through a
subsidiary, will be engaged in the following businesses:

     o    portable self-storage;

     o    sale of locks, boxes and packing materials in connection with its
          business; and

     o    rental of trucks at Public Storage facilities.

         Orangeco was organized in November 1994. As used in this information
statement, the term "Orangeco" includes Orangeco and its subsidiaries. Orangeco

The Distribution
- ----------------

         The following is a brief set of questions and answers about the
distribution.

Why is Public Storage distributing
 shares of Orangeco at this time?        The board of directors of Public
                                         Storage is concerned that continued
                                         growth in Orangeco's activities under
                                         the current corporate structure could
                                         jeopardize Public Storage's status as a
                                         REIT. The distribution should permit
                                         this continued growth without affecting
                                         Public Storage's status as a REIT. A
                                         distribution before additional growth
                                         takes place also should reduce the tax
                                         cost to the shareholders of the
                                         distribution.

Do I have to pay for shares of
 Orangeco in the distribution?           No.

What do I have to do to participate
 in the distribution?                    Nothing; no shareholder vote or other
                                         action is required. You do not need to
                                         surrender any shares of Public Storage
                                         common stock to receive shares of
                                         Orangeco common stock in the
                                         distribution.

What will I receive in the distribution?

                                         Public Storage will distribute one
                                         share of Orangeco common stock for
                                         every 20 shares of Public Storage
                                         common stock owned as of the record
                                         date. You will continue to own your
                                         Public Storage common stock.

When is the distribution date?           _______________, 2000

When is the record date?                 _______________, 2000

How will Public Storage distribute
 Orangeco's common stock to me?          If you are a shareholder of record of
                                         Public Storage common stock on the
                                         record date, BankBoston, N.A. will mail
                                         you a certificate representing your
                                         Orangeco common stock shortly after
                                         _______________, 2000. Following the
                                         distribution you may retain shares of
                                         Orangeco common stock, sell them or
                                         transfer them to a brokerage or other
                                         account. You will not receive new
                                         Public Storage stock certificates.

What if I hold my shares of Public
 Storage stock through my stockbroker,
 bank or other nominee?                  If you hold your shares of Public
                                         Storage common stock through your
                                         stockbroker, bank or other nominee, you
                                         are probably not a shareholder of
                                         record and your receipt of Orangeco
                                         common stock depends on your
                                         arrangements with the nominee that
                                         holds your shares of Public Storage
                                         common stock for you. We anticipate
                                         that stockbrokers and banks generally
                                         will credit their customers' accounts
                                         with Orangeco common stock shortly
                                         following the distribution date, but
                                         you should check with your stockbroker,
                                         bank or other nominee. Following the
                                         distribution you may instruct your
                                         stockbroker, bank or other nominee to
                                         transfer your shares of Orangeco common
                                         stock into your own name.

What if I would be entitled to a
 fractional share of Orangeco after
 the distribution?                       You will receive cash instead of a
                                         fractional interest in a share of
                                         Orangeco common stock for any interest
                                         of less than one whole share of
                                         Orangeco to which you would be
                                         entitled. The amount of cash will be
                                         based on the estimate of the value of
                                         the Orangeco common stock.

What is Orangeco's dividend policy?      Orangeco currently anticipates that no
                                         cash dividends will be paid on its
                                         common stock in the foreseeable future.
                                         Orangeco intends to use its available
                                         cash to expand its operations.

How will Orangeco's common stock trade?  We have applied to have Orangeco common
                                         stock quoted on the NASDAQ National
                                         Market under the symbol "__________"
                                         and expect that regular quotation will
                                         begin on _______________, 2000.

                                         [Public Storage common stock will
                                         continue to trade on a regular basis
                                         reflecting the combined value of Public
                                         Storage and Orangeco until
                                         _______________, 2000. Public Storage
                                         stock will trade carrying due-bills
                                         representing Orangeco common stock from
                                         _______________, 2000 through
                                         _______________, 2000. These due-bills
                                         will be redeemed for Orangeco common
                                         stock on _______________, 2000.]

Is the distribution taxable for U.S.
 tax purposes?                           Yes. The distribution will be taxable
                                         to you in 2000 as if you had received a
                                         cash distribution equal to the fair
                                         market value of the distributed
                                         Orangeco common stock.

What are the risks involved in owning
 Orangeco common stock?                  The separation of Orangeco from Public
                                         Storage presents certain risks. For
                                         example, Orangeco has no prior history
                                         of operating as an independent company.
                                         Certain other risks are associated with
                                         owning Orangeco common stock due to the
                                         nature of its businesses, the markets
                                         in which it competes and potential
                                         conflicts of interest. You are
                                         encouraged to consider these risks
                                         carefully, which are described in
                                         greater detail on pages 5 through 6.

Will Public Storage and Orangeco be
 related in any way after the
 distribution?                           Immediately following the distribution,
                                         Public Storage will own 9.5% of the
                                         shares of Orangeco, and Orangeco will
                                         also continue to have significant
                                         contractual relationships with Public
                                         Storage, including significant
                                         allocation and cost sharing agreements
                                         and a long-term joint marketing
                                         program. Orangeco also will lease from
                                         Public Storage space to operate some of
                                         Orangeco's facilities. These
                                         relationships are described in greater
                                         detail on pages 14 through 16.

                                  RISK FACTORS

         You should carefully consider and evaluate all of the information set
forth in this information statement, including the factors listed below.

An active trading market for the Orangeco common stock
 may never develop or be sustained.
- ------------------------------------------------------

         Before the distribution there has been no market for the Orangeco
common stock. Consequently, an active trading market for the Orangeco common
stock may never develop or be sustained.

The distribution will be taxable to you without
 a corresponding payment of cash.
- -----------------------------------------------

         Unless you are tax-exempt, the distribution will be taxable to you in
2000 as ordinary income as if you had received a taxable cash dividend equal to
the full fair market value of the Orangeco common stock received in the
distribution and the amount of any cash received in lieu of a fractional share.
You will not receive a corresponding payment of cash in respect of the
distribution. Public Storage's board of directors has estimated that the fair
market value of one share of Orangeco common stock on __________, 2000, if the
distribution had occurred on that date, would have been $______. There can be no
assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will agree with the valuation on the
date of the distribution.

         The distribution also will be a taxable transaction for Public Storage,
which will recognize gain to the extent that the fair market value of the
distributed Orangeco common stock exceeds Public Storage's tax basis in the
distributed shares. The aggregate amount of gain is estimated to be $__________.
Public Storage also will claim a dividends-paid deduction for tax purposes in
2000 equal to the fair market value of the distributed Orangeco common stock (in
the same amount per share as taxable shareholders would report as taxable income
when they receive the distribution). That deduction will be taken into account
by Public Storage along with its other distributions in seeking to satisfy the
distribution requirements applicable to Public Storage as a REIT. See "Federal
Income Tax Considerations."

Orangeco has a limited history in operating portable self-storage.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------

         Orangeco began operating portable self-storage in late 1996. There can
be no assurance as to the profitability of this business.

Orangeco is dependent on Public Storage.
- ----------------------------------------

         After the distribution, Orangeco will continue to have significant
ownership and contractual relationships with Public Storage.

     o    Public Storage will own 9.5% of Orangeco common stock.

     o    The intercompany operating agreement between Public Storage and
          Orangeco provides, among other things, significant allocation and cost
          sharing arrangements and a long-term joint marketing program between
          Orangeco and Public Storage. Except as provided in the intercompany
          operating agreement, Public Storage has no obligation to provide
          marketing services to Orangeco.

     o    Orangeco leases from Public Storage the portable self-storage portion
          of the facilities that combine portable self-storage and
          mini-warehouse space. The term of the leases is ten years with an
          option by Orangeco to extend for an additional ten years.

See "Arrangements Between Orangeco and Public Storage - Intercompany
Agreements."

                                       5
<PAGE>

Orangeco has significant future capital requirements.
- -----------------------------------------------------

         Orangeco has significant working capital and cash flow requirements.
Since Orangeco's organization these requirements have been met by Public
Storage. After the distribution, Public Storage has no obligation to provide
financial support for Orangeco. Orangeco believes that it will be able to obtain
a bank line on satisfactory terms. However, at the time of the distribution,
Orangeco will not have any agreements or understandings with a financial
institution and there can be no assurance that satisfactory arrangements can be
made. See "Selected Financial Information of Orangeco" and "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation of
Orangeco."

Orangeco is subject to operating risks.
- ---------------------------------------

         The ability of Orangeco to operate profitably is dependent in
significant part upon its success in the relatively new field of portable
self-storage. In the case of each new facility, Orangeco will be commencing a
portable self-storage operation which will be subject to the risks of any
starting enterprise.

         Orangeco is subject to the risks generally incident to operating
businesses. These risks include:

     o    lack of demand for storage containers and storage related products and
          services;

     o    increases in competition;

     o    changes in general economic or local conditions;

     o    increases in the cost of capital equipment;

     o    changes in interest rates; and

     o    changes in regulatory requirements.

There is significant competition in Orangeco's businesses.
- ----------------------------------------------------------

         Competition in all of Orangeco's businesses is significant, with
competition in all or substantially all of the markets in which Orangeco
operates and with competition in portable self-storage expected to increase as
this business matures. Market entry is relatively easy for persons or
institutions that have the required initial capital. The successful operation of
portable self-storage facilities is likely to result in more intense
competition. Portable self-storage facilities also compete with mini-warehouses
and, to a lesser extent, with traditional moving and storage operations located
in the same market area. See "Business - Portable Self-Storage - Competition,"
"- Truck Rentals" and "- Retail Stores."

Orangeco may incur environmental costs and liabilities.
- -------------------------------------------------------

         Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, an owner or
operator of real estate interests may have to clean up spills or other releases
of hazardous or toxic substances on or from a property. 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 such substances, or
the failure to remediate any resulting contamination properly, 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.

There may be conflicts of interest following the distribution.
- --------------------------------------------------------------

         B. Wayne Hughes will serve as chairman of the board and chief executive
officer of both Public Storage and Orangeco. Public Storage and Orangeco will at
least initially have other common officers and will be party to significant cost
sharing arrangements.
As a result there may be conflicts of interest following the distribution.

The Hughes family could control Orangeco.
- -----------------------------------------

         After the distribution, Mr. Hughes and members of his family will own
31% of Orangeco common stock (and will also own the same percentage of Public
Storage common stock), and Public Storage will own 9.5% of Orangeco common
stock. Consequently, the ability of public shareholders to determine matters
submitted to a shareholder vote will be substantially impaired. See "Security
Ownership of Orangeco Common Stock by Certain Beneficial Owners and Management."

                                       6
<PAGE>

Orangeco does not intend to pay dividends.
- ------------------------------------------

         Orangeco intends to use its available funds to expand its operations
and it does not intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. See
"Dividend Policy of Orangeco."

                                THE DISTRIBUTION

Background and Reasons for the Distribution
- -------------------------------------------

         Public Storage is a REIT organized in 1980 that is principally engaged
in the business of owning and operating mini-warehouses. Public Storage has
owned substantially all of the economic interests in Orangeco, which was
organized in November 1994 and has engaged in certain businesses related to
Public Storage's mini-warehouse operations. These include primarily the portable
self-storage business, the sale of locks, boxes and packing materials and the
rental of trucks at Public Storage's mini-warehouses as well as other activities
(collectively, the "Other Activities"). The Other Activities generally produce
income that would be "non-qualifying" income if earned directly by Public
Storage under the tax laws applicable to REITs. The tax laws limit the amount of
non-qualifying gross income that may be generated by a REIT to 5% of the REIT's
gross income. That limitation does not apply to Orangeco, which unlike Public
Storage, is a "C" corporation that is subject to regular income tax.

         The tax laws applicable to REITs also contain certain other
restrictions that might come into play (in the absence of the distribution) if
the growth in value of the Other Activities is consistent with or exceeds Public
Storage's expectations. The current REIT tax provisions prohibit a REIT from
owning at the end of any calendar quarter stock or securities (including loans
other than mortgages adequately secured by real property) of a C corporation
with a value of more than 5% of the REIT's total assets, and also preclude
ownership of more than 10% of the voting securities of a C corporation.
Beginning January 1, 2001, the tax laws applicable to REITs have been amended to
change the 10% voting securities limit. After that date, REITs generally will be
prohibited from owning more than 10% of the vote or value of a C corporation
(subject to certain grandfather rules), but will be permitted to own up to 100%
of certain "taxable REIT subsidiaries" ("TRSs"). The value of all TRSs must be
less than 20% of the total value of the REITs' assets. While the new rules will
ease the REIT restrictions to some extent, they continue to place significant
value limitations on a REIT's ownership interest in other taxable corporations.

         The distribution would segregate the basic mini-warehouse business and
the Other Activities (other than the sale of locks, boxes and packing materials
at Public Storage facilities, which Public Storage will undertake through a
subsidiary) into separately owned corporate entities that initially have the
same common stock ownership. The distribution is designed to permit continued
growth of the Other Activities without the restraints imposed by the REIT tax
restrictions. After the distribution, the value of Orangeco (engaged in most of
the Other Activities) may increase without limitation, without affecting Public
Storage's continued status as a REIT. By making the distribution at this time,
the shareholders will be taxable upon the current fair market value of the
distributed Orangeco common stock. If the distribution were to be made at a
different time following a significant increase in the value of the distributed
assets, taxable shareholders would be faced with increased taxes on any such
appreciation in value. This factor also appears to make a current distribution
of the Other Activities advantageous.

Manner of Effecting the Distribution
- ------------------------------------

         Prior to and for the purpose of facilitating the distribution, Orangeco
was reorganized and recapitalized.

         In addition, to accomplish the distribution, on or about __________,
2000, the following actions will be taken:

     o    Public Storage distributes shares of Orangeco common stock to holders
          of Public Storage common stock on the basis of one share of Orangeco
          common stock for each 20 shares of Public Storage common stock held on
          _______________, 2000, the record date. See "Description of Orangeco

     o    Public Storage will pay cash instead of a fractional interest in

Conditions; Termination
- -----------------------

         The distribution is conditioned upon:

     o    The registration statement having become effective; and

     o    The Orangeco common stock having been approved for quotation on the
          NASDAQ National Market System.

Even if all the conditions of the distribution are satisfied, Public Storage's
board of directors has reserved the right to abandon, defer or modify the
distribution at any time prior to __________, 2000.

Valuation; Financial Advisor
- ----------------------------

         Public Storage's board of directors has engaged a financial advisor,
which has estimated that the fair market value of one share of Orangeco common
stock on _______________, 2000, if the distribution had occurred on that date,
would have been $__________.

         Following the distribution, the financial advisor will update its
estimate of the fair market value of the Orangeco common stock as of the date of
the distribution. This information will be mailed to Public Storage's
shareholders for use in reporting the distribution for income tax purposes.
Public Storage will report the distribution to the Internal Revenue Service (the
"Service") as the payment of a property dividend to its shareholders in an
amount equal to the fair market value of the Orangeco common stock at the date
of the distribution, as estimated by the financial advisor. There can be no
assurance that the Service will agree with this estimate of the valuation of the
Orangeco common stock.

                           DIVIDEND POLICY OF ORANGECO

         Orangeco intends to use its available funds to expand its operations
and does not intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Payment of
dividends on the Orangeco common stock will likely be restricted by credit
facilities that Orangeco may obtain from time to time. The declaration of
dividends is subject to the discretion of Orangeco's board of directors.


                              BUSINESS OF ORANGECO

Operation of Portable Self-Storage Facilities
- ---------------------------------------------

         General. Orangeco has been engaged in the portable self-storage
business since 1996. Orangeco operates this business from facilities it owns,
facilities it leases from third parties and facilities it leases from, or
manages for, Public Storage and its affiliates. Storage containers are delivered
to customers' home for packing and locking by the customers. Containers are
picked up at the customers' home and delivered to an Orangeco portable
self-storage facility where they are stored. Customers may access their
containers at the facilities during designated operating hours. At the end of
the storage period, the containers may be redelivered to customers' homes. In
addition to the monthly rental charge, service fees may be charged for pickup
and delivery of containers. Alternatively, to avoid transportation charges,
customers may pack and/or unpack their containers at the facilities.

         The storage containers are wood and generally measure 8' tall x 5' deep
x 7' wide. The facilities are typically concrete buildings equipped with burglar
alarm and fire and smoke detection systems and generally have a capacity for
1,000 to 3,000 storage containers.

         At December 31, 1999, Orangeco operated a total of 36 facilities in 20
greater metropolitan areas in 11 states. As with mini-warehouses, Orangeco
believes that the portable self-storage business experiences some seasonal
fluctuations in occupancy levels, with occupancies generally higher in the
summer months than the winter months. There can be no assurance as to the level
of Orangeco's expansion, rate of fill-up or profitability.

         Strategy. Orangeco and Public Storage believe Orangeco's business
complements Public Storage's mini-warehouse operations. Accordingly, Public
Storage is developing facilities that combine mini-warehouse and portable
self-storage operations and leasing a portion of the facility to Orangeco to
operate portable self-storage. Orangeco expects that an increasing part of its
business will be operated from this type of combination facility. Portable
self-storage is designed to provide an alternative to mini-warehouse customers,
particularly for those who desire or require the convenience offered by
Orangeco's business. Orangeco and Public Storage jointly use a national
telephone reservation system, which supports rental activity in all of the
markets in which Orangeco's facilities are located. Customers calling either the
toll-free telephone referral system of Orangeco and Public Storage or a
mini-warehouse facility are routed to a reservation system where a
representative discusses with the customer space requirements, price and
location preferences. Orangeco and Public Storage use other joint marketing
programs, including radio and television advertising, as well as the
PublicStorage.com internet website, to promote their rental activity.

         Competition. Current competition in the portable self-storage business
is largely from local operators in certain markets. One of Public Storage's
national mini-warehouse competitors, as well as various other companies, are
operating portable self-storage facilities in more than one market. Portable
self-storage facilities also compete with mini-warehouses located in the same
market and, to a lesser extent, with traditional warehouses and moving
companies. Competition from one of these sources exists in all of the markets in
which Orangeco operates. Market entry is relatively easy for persons or
institutions that have the required initial capital. The successful operation of
existing and new portable self-storage facilities would generate more intense
competition. Orangeco believes that its agreements with Public Storage,
including use of the national telephone reservation system, should enable
Orangeco to compete effectively.

       (1)    Maximum capacity.

         The management agreements provide that Orangeco (1) guarantees that the
owner will continue to receive the net operating income earned by the facilities
prior to Orangeco's management of the facilities (escalated by the annual
increases in net operating income for mini-warehouses operated by Public Storage
in the same markets (minimum rent escalations of 1% per year)) and (2) receives
any additional net operating income earned by the facilities.

         Orangeco owns two recently constructed industrial properties that are
currently leased to third parties.

Retail Sales
- ------------

         In connection with its business, Orangeco offers for sale a variety of
items to assist in the moving and storage of goods. These items include locks,
moving and storage boxes, tape, rope, marking pens and storage racks. Public
Storage through a subsidiary will offer for sale similar products at its
mini-warehouses.

         Competition among packing and shipping stores is intense and includes
national, regional and local operators. Similar products are offered at
mini-warehouses owned by other national, as well as local, operators and by
moving companies. Orangeco believes its ability to compete effectively is
facilitated by offering the products in conjunction with the rental of storage
space.

Truck Rentals
- -------------

         At many Public Storage mini-warehouses, Orangeco offers truck rentals
to the general public, including mini-warehouse tenants. Zoning and other
regulatory restrictions, as well as property location and insufficient space,
effectively preclude truck rentals at many Public Storage mini-warehouses.

         Orangeco has contracted with Penske Truck Leasing Co. to supply trucks
and to assist in the operations of the truck rental program. Penske both leases
trucks to Orangeco and makes available additional trucks as to which Orangeco
earns rental commissions. Orangeco, Penske and Public Storage cooperate in
cross-marketing, incentive and promotional arrangements and in joint advertising
efforts, including "yellow pages" advertisements in telephone directories,
newspaper and other print advertisements. Orangeco and Public Storage jointly
use a national telephone reservation system, which supports truck rental
activity in all markets in which truck rentals are offered.

         Competition among truck rental operators is intense with several
national companies and many local operators offering truck rentals. Truck
rentals are offered at many mini-warehouses that compete with Public Storage.
Orangeco believes that its cross-marketing arrangements with Public Storage
should enable Orangeco to compete effectively.

Other Businesses
- ----------------

         Orangeco has recently initiated a program offering moving services in a
few markets. There can be no assurance that Orangeco will continue or expand
these activities or that they will be successful.

         Orangeco has organized a subsidiary which intends to create an internet
web site for Public Storage and itself to market moving and related services.
Orangeco may also engage in other web businesses with Public Storage or others.
There can be no assurance as to the success of any such ventures. See
"Arrangements Between Orangeco and Public Storage - Intercompany Operating
Agreements - Joint Marketing Activities and Orangeco Web Site."

Employees
- ---------

         At February 29, 2000, Orangeco had approximately 320 full-time
employees, substantially all of whom are engaged in portable self-storage.
Certain Public Storage employees, including executive personnel, perform
services on behalf of Orangeco, which pays a portion of their compensation.

- ----------------------------------

         PSCC, Inc. was organized to perform centralized administrative services
for Public Storage and other property owners affiliated with Public Storage.
These services include accounting and finance, employee relations, management
information systems, legal, office services, marketing, administration and
property management training. In addition, to take advantage of economies of
scale, PSCC purchases supplies and services, including yellow pages and media
advertising and property liability and casualty insurance, for the benefit of
multiple property owners and allocates the costs of these supplies and services
to the benefited property owners. Orangeco is also a party to the agreement with
PSCC. Orangeco, Public Storage and other owners of facilities for which PSCC
performs services own the capital stock of PSCC.

Legal Proceedings
- -----------------

         In the ordinary course of business, Orangeco is subject to various
pending claims, lawsuits and contingent liabilities. Orangeco does not believe
that disposition of these matters will have a material adverse effect on
Orangeco's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

          existing facilities owned by Public Storage that combine portable
          self-storage and mini-warehouse space on the following terms

          o   term of ten years with an option by Orangeco to extend an
              additional ten years;

     o    Orangeco and Public Storage agree to (1) cooperate in cross-marketing,
          incentive and promotional arrangements and in joint advertising
          efforts, including "yellow pages" advertisements in telephone
          directories, newspaper and other print advertisements and radio and
          television advertisements and (2) jointly use Public Storage's
          national telephone reservation system. The costs of these activities
          will be paid by Public Storage and Orangeco in accordance with
          specified formulas. After three years, either party may terminate this
          agreement with or without cause upon six months' notice.

     o    Public Storage agrees to use Orangeco's web site as the exclusive
          internet "moving portal" to offer mini-warehouse spaces for rent and
          boxes and packing materials for sale and to allow Orangeco to develop
          other web businesses that would be operated jointly by Public Storage
          and Orangeco in accordance with specified formulas. Public Storage is
          not, however, restricted from offering mini-warehouse spaces for rent
          and boxes and packing materials for sale through an internet "storage
          portal" and through its PublicStorage.com internet web site.

     o    Public Storage agrees to pay Orangeco fees of (1) 10% of revenues

          from orders placed through the Orangeco web site and (2) 20% of
          revenues from the sale of boxes and packing materials from orders
          placed through this site.

          Orangeco's internet moving portal on (1) signage at Public Storage's
          facilities (at Orangeco's cost, except in the case of newly-developed
          facilities, and subject to local governmental approvals) and (2) the
          PublicStorage.com internet web site.

Other Agreements
- ----------------

     o    Orangeco agrees that, if it organizes any subsidiary within 30 months
          of the distribution, Orangeco will grant options to acquire stock in
          that subsidiary to those employees of Public Storage as may be
          designated by Public Storage. The shares subject to these options may
          not exceed 10% of the shares issued by a subsidiary. It is expected
          that these options would be granted to employees who contributed to
          the business of these subsidiaries.

Agreement with PSCC, Inc.
- -------------------------

         For a discussion of Orangeco's agreement with PSCC, see "Business -
Purchases of Services and Supplies." After three years, either party may
terminate this agreement with or without cause upon six months' notice.

                   SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF ORANGECO

         The following table summarizes certain selected financial data of
Orangeco. The Statement of Operations data set forth below for each of the three
years ended December 31, 1999 and the Balance Sheet data as of the end of each
year in the two-year period ended December 31, 1999 are derived from the audited
combined financial statements of Orangeco included in this document. The
Statement of Operations data set forth below for the years ended December 31,
1996 and 1995 and the Balance Sheet data at December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 are
derived from unaudited combined financial statements of Orangeco. The historical
selected financial data may not necessarily be indicative of Orangeco's past or
future performance as an independent entity. Such historical data should be read
in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
Operations and Financial Condition" and Orangeco's Consolidated Financial
Statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this document. The Pro Forma
data should be read in conjunction with the Pro Forma Combined Financial
Statements.

         In reviewing this financial data, you should consider the following
unusual events and factors:

     o    The historical financial information reflect the historical operations
          of portable self-storage, the rental of trucks, and the sale of
          merchandise at the portable self-storage locations. The largest
          component of Orangeco's operating results is the containerized
          portable self-storage business.

     o    Orangeco commenced portable self-storage operations in August 1996
          through the acquisition of a single facility operator. In 1997,
          Orangeco expanded the business by opening additional facilities in
          markets throughout the United States, increasing the number of open
          facilities from 4 at December 31, 1996 to 49 at December 31, 1997. In
          1998, Orangeco closed several facilities in non-strategic markets and
          consolidated operations of several other facilities into existing
          facilities, while opening several more facilities, decreasing the
          number of opened facilities to 43 at December 31, 1998. In 1999,
          Orangeco closed several more facilities, decreasing the number of open
          facilities to 36 at December 31, 1999. The historical and pro forma
          financial data includes the historical operating results of those
          facilities that were closed.

     o    As a result of the startup nature of the portable self-storage
          business, Orangeco sustained operating losses in 1997, 1998, and 1999.

     o    Orangeco believes that the quarterly losses from the portable
          self-storage business peaked in the third quarter of 1997 at
          approximately $12 million, and losses have decreased each quarter
          thereafter through the fourth quarter of 1999, when quarterly losses
          were approximately $1.3 million. Earnings before depreciation and
          amortization for the last three and six months of 1999 were
          approximately breakeven.

     o    At December 31, 1999, there were 36 facilities in operation. In order
          to evaluate the ongoing portable self-storage business, management has
          reviewed the operations of the 36 facilities that were open at
          December 31, 1999, substantially all of which were in operation prior
          to December 31, 1998. The results of operations and key selected
          financial data of these facilities is included in the table which
          follows.

     o    In connection with (and conditional upon) the distribution, Public
          Storage and Orangeco have entered into significant intercompany
          operating agreements described on page 14 that will have a substantial
          impact upon the future operations of Orangeco. In addition, prior to
          the distribution Public Storage will contribute $30 million in cash to
          Orangeco and convert advances receivable into equity of Orangego. The
          impact of certain of these arrangements is included in the "Pro Forma"
          equity, cash and net income on the Pro Forma Financial Statements
          included elsewhere herein. See also "Management's Discussion and
          Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition" for
          additional information with respect to the impact of these
          arrangements.

      the portable self-storage business.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
            FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION OF ORANGECO

         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." Such
forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and
other factors, which may cause the actual results and performance of Orangeco to
be materially different from those expressed or implied in the forward looking
statements. Such factors include the impact of competition from new and existing
facilities which could impact rents and occupancy levels at Orangeco's
facilities; Orangeco's ability to evaluate, finance, and integrate facilities
into Orangeco's existing operations; Orangeco's ability to compete effectively
in the markets that it does business in; the impact of the regulatory
environment as well as national, state, and local laws and regulations
including, without limitation, the acceptance by consumers of the Pickup and
Delivery concept; the impact of general economic conditions upon rental rates
and occupancy levels at Orangeco's facilities; and the availability of permanent
capital at attractive rates.

         Overview: The following discussion should be read in conjunction with
the Combined Financial Statements of Orangeco and notes thereto elsewhere in
this Information Statement. Pursuant to a plan of distribution, Public Storage
expects to distribute 90.5% of the shares of Orangeco to shareholders of Public
Storage's common stock. At the time of the distribution, Orangeco will be
engaged in the following principal business activities: (i) containerized
portable self-storage activities (the "Portable Self-Storage Operations") and
(ii) the leasing of trucks at Public Storage facilities (the "Truck
Operations"). Orangeco will also sell merchandise at its portable self-storage
locations; such amounts are reflected as a component of interest and other
income. The Combined Financial Statements of Orangeco include the Portable
Self-Storage Operations, Truck Operations, as well as the sale of merchandise at
Orangeco's portable self-storage locations.


Portable Self-Storage Operations
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         The Portable Self-Storage Operations are by far the largest component
of Orangeco's current business activities. Storage containers are delivered to
customers' homes for packing and locking by the customers. Containers are picked
up at the customers' homes and delivered to facilities where they are stored.
Customers may access their containers at the facilities during designated
operating hours. At the end of the storage period, the containers are
redelivered to customers' homes. In addition to the monthly rental charge,
service fees may be charged for pickup and delivery.

         In August 1996, Orangeco made its initial entry into the containerized
portable self-storage business through its acquisition of a single facility
operator located in Irvine, California. Since that time, Orangeco expanded the
business by opening additional facilities in markets throughout the United
States. At December 31, 1999, Orangeco operated 36 facilities in 11 states. The
facilities are located in major markets in which Public Storage has significant
market presence with respect to its traditional self-storage facilities.

         The following table summarizes the operations of the Portable
Self-Storage Operations for 1999, 1998 and 1997:

</TABLE>

         Due to the start-up nature of the business, the Portable Self-Storage
Operations incurred operating losses totaling approximately $11.9 million, $31.2
million and $32.0 million for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997,
respectively, as summarized in the above table.

         Orangeco believes that the quarterly losses from the Portable
Self-Storage Operations peaked during the third quarter of 1997. Operating
losses were approximately $12 million for the third quarter of 1997 and have
subsequently decreased each sequential quarter through the fourth quarter of
1999 where operating losses were approximately $1.3 million. Operations before
depreciation and amortization for the last six months of 1999 were approximately
breakeven.

         The number of facilities operated by Orangeco increased from 4 at
December 31, 1996 to 49 at December 31, 1997 due to the opening of 45 facilities
in 1997. The number of facilities decreased to 43 at December 31, 1998, due to
the opening of 13 facilities and the closure of several facilities in
non-strategic markets and the consolidation of the operations of several other
facilities into existing facilities within the same markets. The number of
facilities decreased further to 36 at December 31, 1999 due to the closure and
consolidation of several additional 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. The increase in rental and other income from
$7.9 million in 1997 to $24.2 million in 1998 is the result of the significant
expansion of the business throughout that period of time. Rental income
increased to $25.6 million in 1999 compared to $24.2 in 1998 principally as a
result of the increase in the number of occupied containers.

         A typical facility generally has eight employees (a manager, customer
service agents, warehousemen, and truck drivers), trucks, trailers and
forklifts. Direct operating costs principally include payroll and equipment
(truck, trailer and forklift) maintenance expense. Direct operating costs
increased from $14.4 million in 1997 to $24.2 million in 1998, due primarily to
the opening of 45 facilities in 1997 and 13 facilities in 1998, offset partially
by the closure of several facilities in 1998. Direct operating costs decreased
to $17.7 million in 1999 compared to $24.2 million in 1998, due primarily to the
closure of several facilities in 1998.

                                       20

         Orangeco believes that marketing and advertising activities positively
impact move-in activity. Commencing in the third quarter of 1997, Orangeco began
to advertise the portable self-storage product on television in selected
markets. Television advertising was curtailed in the second half of 1998.
Customers are directed to call Public Storage's national reservation system
where representatives discuss the customers' storage needs and are able to
schedule delivery of containers to customers' locations. Approximately $6.6
million and $9.2 million was incurred in television advertising during 1998 and
1997, respectively. There was no television advertising in 1999. Approximately
$0.6 million, $2.6 million and $1.2 million was incurred in yellow page
advertising during 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The decrease in yellow
page advertising costs in 1999 as compared to 1998 is due to a decrease in the
number of facilities combined with increased efficiencies resulting from joint
yellow page advertising with Public Storage. Marketing and advertising
activities have not been consistently implemented in all markets.

         Substantially all of the facilities are leased from third parties.
Facility lease expense increased from $6.2 million in 1997 to $14.4 million in
1998 as a result of the expansion of the business in additional leased facility
locations. Facility lease expense decreased to $9.8 million in 1999. The
decrease in facility lease expense in 1999 compared to 1998 was due to the
closure and consolidation of several facilities.

         Orangeco and Public Storage believe that the portable self-storage
business complements Public Storage's mini-warehouse operations. Accordingly,
Public Storage is developing facilities that combine mini-warehouse and portable
self-storage operations. Public Storage will lease a portion of the facility to
Orangeco to operate its portable self-storage business. Orangeco expects that an
increasing part of its business will be operated from this type of combination
facility.

         Public Storage is currently developing 34 combination facilities and
has identified eight additional sites for development of combination facilities.
Substantially all of these development projects are located in Orangeco's
existing markets with expected opening dates commencing during 2000 and will
predominantly replace existing Orangeco facilities which are currently being
leased from third parties. Orangeco has not determined the number of new
facility openings in 2000; however, Orangeco expects that future openings will
predominantly be in existing markets in which Orangeco currently operates. By
opening in existing markets, Orangeco will seek to gain benefits from economies
of scale. For the 27 facilities developed by Public Storage that will replace
existing third-party leased facilities, annual lease and utilities expense will
be approximately $4,700,000 compared to approximately $8,100,000 incurred in
lease and utilities expense for these 27 facilities in the year ended December
31, 1999. This decrease is due primarily to a 26% reduction in available space
combined with lower lease rates due to longer lease terms and changes in the
nature of the leased space.

         During 1998 and 1997, Orangeco incurred significant general and
administrative costs related to recruiting and training personnel, equipment,
computer software and professional fees in organizing this business. In 1999 and
1998, Orangeco incurred $0.9 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in general
and administrative expense with respect to terminated leases in closed
facilities. Management expects that general and administrative expense (prior to
lease termination expense) will increase in 2000 and beyond, due primarily to
costs associated with Orangeco's operating as a separate publicly held
corporation.

         Until the Portable Self-Storage Operations are operating profitably,
these operations are expected to continue to adversely impact Orangeco's
earnings and cash flow. Orangeco believes that the portable self-storage
business is likely to be more successful in certain markets than in others.
There can be no assurance as to the level of the Portable Self-Storage
Operations' expansion, level of gross rentals, level of move-outs or
profitability.

Analysis of facilities in place at December 31, 1999:
- -----------------------------------------------------

         As indicated above, due to the start-up nature of the business, the
Portable Self-Storage Operations have not been profitable since inception.
During 1997 and 1998, Orangeco expanded the business rapidly. In 1999, Orangeco
evaluated the business activities of all the facilities and decided to exit
certain non-strategic markets and to consolidate the operations of many
facilities into existing facilities within the same market. As a result, at
December 31, 1999, Orangeco had 36 facilities in operation representing the core
strategic facilities going forward. In order to evaluate the viability of the
portable self-storage business, management evaluates the operating results of
the 36 open facilities that Orangeco operates at December 31, 1999, all of which
have been opened since January 1, 1999.

</TABLE>

         Orangeco believes that the operations of these 36 facilities will
continue to improve during 2000 primarily due to improvements in occupancy
levels and reductions in third party lease expense. As indicated above, Public
Storage is currently constructing facilities that will be partially leased to
Orangeco to operate its portable self-storage business. Many of the facilities
in construction will replace existing facilities that have been leased from
third parties. Of the 36 facilities in operation at December 31, 1999, 31 were
leased of which 27 are identified to be replaced by facilities being developed
by Public Storage. For the 27 facilities developed by Public Storage that will
replace existing third-party leased facilities, annual lease expense will be
approximately $4,700,000, which will include utilities, as compared to
approximately $8,100,000 incurred in lease expense and utilities in the
Historical Actuals with respect to these 27 facilities in the year ended
December 31, 1999 - the Pro Forma presentation above includes the impact of this
leasing arrangement. The pro-forma decrease in facility lease expense is due
primarily to a 26% reduction in available space combined with lower lease rates
primarily due to longer lease terms and changes in the nature of the leased
space.

         Many of the facilities that Public Storage will lease to Orangeco are
currently being developed and are expected to be available for occupancy over
the next twelve months. In many instances, it is anticipated that Orangeco will
vacate facilities that are leased from third parties prior to the expiration of
the lease term and occupy these newly developed Public Storage facilities. In
such instances, Public Storage will assume the lease obligation to the third
parties. Once Public Storage assumes these leases, Orangeco will no longer have
any obligations, contingent or otherwise, with respect to these leases. Once all
the 27 replacement facilities in development have been completed and are leased
to Orangeco, the capacity of the 36 facilities is expected to be approximately
66,400 containers. There can be no assurance that Orangeco will meet these
targets.

         Truck Operations
         ----------------

         At many Public Storage mini-warehouses, Orangeco offers truck rentals
to the general public, including mini-warehouse tenants.

         Orangeco has contracted with Penske Truck Leasing Co. to supply trucks
and to assist in the operations of the truck rental program. Penske both leases
trucks to Orangeco and makes available additional trucks as to which Orangeco
earns rental commissions. Orangeco, Penske and Public Storage cooperate in
cross-marketing, incentive and promotional arrangements and in joint advertising
efforts, including yellow page adverting in telephone directories, newspaper and
other print advertisements. Orangeco and Public Storage jointly use a national
telephone reservation system, which supports truck rental activity in all
markets in which truck rentals are offered.

</TABLE>

         The increase in operations from 1997 through 1999 is principally the
result of Public Storage's retail expansion program, which Public Storage
implemented in order to attract a wider variety of customers, further
differentiate Public Storage from its competitors, and generate new sources of
revenues. Orangeco's truck operations have increased as a result of Public
Storage's retail expansion program, as the level of commissions and truck
rentals has increased.

         Competition among truck rental operators is intense with several
national companies and many local operators offering truck rentals. Truck
rentals are offered at many mini-warehouses that compete with Public Storage.
Orangeco believes that its cross-marketing arrangements with Public Storage
should enable Orangeco to compete effectively.

Other Income and Expense Items
- ------------------------------

         Interest and other income includes the net results of merchandise sales
at the portable self-storage locations and interest income on cash balances.
Included in interest and other income is $164,000, $119,000 and $74,000 in
income (gross sales less cost of merchandise sold) from the sale of merchandise
in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. The increases in income from merchandise
sales are due primarily to increased volume in merchandise sales. Included in
interest and other income is $75,000, $22,000 and $1,000 in interest income from
cash balances in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. The increases in interest
income from cash balances are primarily attributable to changes in the levels of
interest-earning cash balances.

         Interest expense reflects interest on advances from Public Storage, and
is net of capitalized interest of $50,000, $497,000, and $85,000 in 1999, 1998,
and 1997, respectively. Increased interest expense in 1998 as compared to 1997
primarily reflects increased average outstanding borrowings.

         Loss on disposition of equipment in 1998 was $640,000, and was
attributable to the sale of equipment associated with the closure of several
portable self-storage facilities in 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         After the distribution, Orangeco will continue to have significant
relationships with Public Storage. See "Arrangements Between Orangeco and Public
Storage - Intercompany Operating Agreements." Orangeco has significant working
capital and cash flow requirements. Since Orangeco's organization these
requirements have been met by Public Storage.

                                       23
<PAGE>

         Until the portable self-storage facilities are operating profitably,
operations of these facilities are expected to continue to impact Orangeco's
earnings and cash flow adversely. As discussed above the facilities in place at
December 31, 1999 generated approximately $1.1 million in operating losses, or
approximately breakeven prior to depreciation, for the quarter ended December
31, 1999. As Orangeco moves into newly developed facilities leased from Public
Storage, it may incur additional capital needs for equipment and other items.
Therefore, Orangeco believes that the internally generated net cash provided by
operating activities (prior to the impact of the financial arrangements with
Public Storage described below) may not be sufficient to enable it to fund any
capital requirements for fiscal 2000.

         However, in connection with the distribution, Orangeco has entered into
the following agreements with Public Storage to enhance Orangeco's liquidity and
capital resources:

     o   Public Storage will contribute approximately $30 million of cash prior
         to the distribution.

     o   Advances from Public Storage will be converted into equity of Orangeco.

     o   Upon completion of a facility that replaces an existing facility,
         Public Storage agrees to assume Orangeco's lease for the replaced
         facility. This agreement will result in a substantial decrease in lease
         payments as each facility is replaced by Public Storage developed
         facilities. For the 27 facilities being developed by Public Storage
         that will replace existing third-party leased facilities, annual lease
         and utilities expense will be approximately $4,700,000 as compared to
         approximately $8,100,000 incurred in lease and utilities expense for
         these 27 facilities in the year ended December 31, 1999. This decrease
         is due primarily to a 26% reduction in available space combined with
         lower lease rates primarily due to longer lease terms and changes in
         the nature of the leased space.

         In addition to these agreements with Public Storage, Orangeco will
attempt to obtain a bank line of credit, which it believes it can obtain on
satisfactory terms. However, at the time of the distribution, Orangeco will not
have an agreement or understanding with a financial institution, and there can
be no assurance that satisfactory arrangements can be made.

         If the agreements with Public Storage were insufficient and Orangeco
were unable to obtain a bank line of credit on satisfactory terms, Orangeco
would consider sale of its real estate assets to meet its liquidity
requirements.

Impact of the Year 2000
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Orangeco's utilizes Public Storage's information systems in connection
with a cost sharing and administrative services agreement.

         Any of Orangeco's computer programs or hardware with the Y2K Issue that
have date-sensitive applications or embedded chips could have recognized a date
using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. The same issue has been
faced by Orangeco's outside vendors, including those vendors in the banking and
payroll processing areas. Any failure in these areas could result in disruptions
in operations.

         As a result of Public Storage's assessment and remediation activities
conducted in recent years, Orangeco experienced no significant disruptions in
its operations, and believes that its information systems responded successfully
to the Year 2000 date change.

         At this time, Orangeco is not aware of any material problems that
resulted from the Year 2000 date change at any of its outside vendors, including
those vendors in the banking and payroll processing areas.

         Orangeco will continue to monitor its information systems and those of
its outside vendors throughout the year 2000 to ensure that any latent Year 2000
matters that may arise are addressed promptly.

         There can be no assurance that Orangeco has identified all potential
Y2K Issues either within the Public Storage information systems, at its outside
vendors, or at external agents. In addition, the impact of any unresolved or
unidentified Y2K issues on governmental entities and utility providers and the
resultant impact on Orangeco, as well as disruptions in the general economy, may
be material but cannot be reasonably determined or quantified.

Orangeco 2000 Stock Option and Incentive Plan
- ---------------------------------------------

         General
         -------

         Prior to the distribution, the Board of Directors and shareholders of
Orangeco will adopt the Orangeco 2000 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "2000
Plan") for the benefit of employees of Orangeco and its subsidiaries (including
any employee who is an officer or director of Orangeco or any of its
subsidiaries), key Service Providers (as defined below) and Outside Directors.
Orangeco will reserve for issuance 1,000,000 shares under the 2000 Plan. The
2000 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options ("ISOs"), intended
to qualify as such under Section 422 of the Code, and nonstatutory stock options
which do not so qualify. The 2000 Plan also provides for the grant of restricted
stock and restricted stock units to eligible persons. The persons who will
receive grants of awards under the 2000 Plan and the timing, nature and amount
of awards to grantees will be determined from time to time by the Orangeco Board
of Directors or an authorized committee of the Board of Directors. Grants of
options to the Outside Directors will be automatic in accordance with a formula
contained in the 2000 Plan.

                                       27
<PAGE>

         Description of the 2000 Plan
         ----------------------------

         Administration. The 2000 Plan will be administered by Orangeco's Board
of Directors or one or more committees designated by Orangeco's Board of
Directors from time to time (the "Committee"). Subject to the limitations set
forth in the 2000 Plan, the Committee will have the authority to determine,
among other things: (i) to which eligible persons options, restricted stock and
restricted stock units will be granted, (ii) the type or types of grants to be
made, (iii) the number of shares subject to each grant, and (iv) the terms and
conditions of the options, restricted stock and restricted stock units. For
grants to Outside Directors, the 2000 Plan is intended to be a "formula plan,"
and, accordingly, the Committee will have no discretion in establishing the
material terms of such grants. Subject to the express provisions of the 2000
Plan, the Committee will have the full authority to administer and interpret the
2000 Plan.

         Eligibility.

         Discretionary Grants. The Committee will have discretion to grant
options, restricted stock and/or restricted stock units under the 2000 Plan to
(i) employees (including officers and directors) of Orangeco and of any
"subsidiary" of Orangeco (within the meaning of Section 425(f) of the Code), as
designated from time to time by the Committee, and (ii) any individual who is a
consultant or adviser to Orangeco, a manager of Orangeco's properties or
affairs, or other similar service provider or affiliate of Orangeco ("Service
Providers"). Subject to restrictions set forth in the 2000 Plan, an eligible
person may receive successive grants of options, restricted stock and/or
restricted stock units.

         Formula Plan for Outside Directors. Under the 2000 Plan, (i) on the
date of the distribution, each Outside Director then duly elected and serving
will automatically be granted a nonstatutory stock option to purchase 15,000
shares of Orangeco common stock and (ii) thereafter, each new Outside Director
will, upon the date of his or her initial election by the Board of Directors or
the shareholders of Orangeco to serve as an Outside Director, automatically be
granted a nonstatutory stock option to purchase 15,000 shares of Orangeco common
stock. In addition, after each annual meeting of shareholders (commencing with
the 2001 annual meeting), each Outside Director then duly elected and serving
will automatically be granted, as of the date of such annual meeting, a
nonstatutory stock option to purchase 2,500 shares of Orangeco common stock, so
long as such Outside Director has attended, in person or by telephone, at least
75% of the meetings held by Orangeco Board of Directors during the immediately
preceding calendar year. The Committee has no discretion to alter the foregoing
provisions of the 2000 Plan governing options granted to Outside Directors.
Currently, three Outside Directors are expected to be eligible to receive option
grants under the 2000 Plan.

         Shares Subject to the Plan. Under the terms of the 2000 Plan, 1,000,000
authorized but unissued shares of Orangeco common stock will be reserved for
issuance. In the event any change is made to the Orangeco common stock subject
to the 2000 Plan (whether by reason of recapitalization, reclassification, stock
split, reverse split, combination of shares, exchange of shares, stock dividend,
or other increase, decrease or change in such shares), the Orangeco Board of
Directors will adjust proportionately and accordingly the number and kinds of
shares that may be purchased. Any such adjustment in an outstanding option,
however, will be made without a change in the total price applicable to the
unexercised portion of the option but with a corresponding adjustment in the per
share option price.

         Options.

         General. All options granted under the 2000 Plan are intended to be
treated as nonstatutory stock options, unless the Committee specifically
designates a stock option as an ISO within the limitations of the 2000 Plan. The
option exercise price of options granted under the 2000 Plan will be determined
by the Committee in accordance with the 2000 Plan. For both ISOs and
nonstatutory options, the exercise price per share (the "Option Price") will be
equal to 100% of the fair market value (determined in accordance with the 2000
Plan) of a share of Orangeco common stock upon the date of grant (but not less
than the par value per share). No person may receive an ISO if, at the time of
grant, such person owns directly or indirectly more than 10% of the total
combined voting power of Orangeco, unless the option price is at least 110% of
the fair market value of Orangeco common stock and the exercise period of such
ISO is limited to five years. There is also a $100,000 limit on the value of
stock (determined at the time of grant) with respect to which ISOs granted to an
optionee may first become exercisable in any calendar year. The maximum number
of shares subject to options that can be granted under the 2000 Plan to any
executive officer, other employee or Service Provider of Orangeco or any
subsidiary is 1,000,000 shares during the first ten years of the 2000 Plan.
Shares underlying any option that expires unexercised will again be available
for grant under the 2000 Plan.

                                       28
<PAGE>

         Vesting. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable option agreement,
each option granted under the 2000 Plan will vest in three equal annual
installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant, subject to
acceleration of vesting under certain circumstances or (except in the case of
options granted to Outside Directors) in the discretion of the Committee. Each
option granted to an Outside Director under the 2000 Plan will vest in three
equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of
grant, subject to acceleration of vesting under certain circumstances. Subject
to certain limitations, options will remain exercisable for ten years from the
date of grant. Options will expire prior to their scheduled termination upon the
30th day after termination of the optionee's employment or service relationship
with Orangeco (other than, for individuals, by reason of death or "permanent and
total disability" (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended)). Special rules will govern the vesting and
expiration of options following the death or "permanent and total disability" of
an optionee. The Committee may extend the period during which an option (other
than an option granted to an Outside Director) may be exercised (but not later
than the date the option would otherwise expire).

         Transferability. Options granted under the 2000 Plan are exercisable
only by the optionee or his or her permitted transferees during the optionee's
lifetime. Options are transferable by the optionee only as provided in the
agreement evidencing the grant or as may be provided by will or the laws of
descent and distribution.

         Payment of Option Price. Payment for shares purchased under the 2000
Plan may be made in cash or cash equivalents, by exchanging shares of Orangeco
common stock valued at their fair market value on the date of exercise, or by a
combination of the foregoing. An optionee also may pay the exercise price by
directing that certificates for the shares purchased upon exercise be delivered
to a licensed broker acceptable to Orangeco as agent for the optionee, and that
the broker tender to Orangeco cash or cash equivalents equal to the option
exercise price plus the amount of any taxes that Orangeco may be required to
withhold in connection with the exercise of the option.

         Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. The Committee may grant to
eligible persons (but not to Outside Directors) shares of Orangeco common stock
(or units representing shares of Orangeco common stock) subject to vesting based
on the passage of time, the achievement by the grantee or Orangeco of specified
performance objectives, or other conditions deemed appropriate by the Committee.
The Committee will establish the conditions to vesting, and the period of time
during which the conditions will apply (the "Restricted Period"), at the time of
grant.

         Any applicable performance objectives will be established in writing by
the Committee prior to March 31 of the year in which the grant is made and while
the outcome is substantially uncertain. Performance objectives will be based on
stock price, market share, sales, earnings per share, return on equity or costs,
and may include positive results, maintaining the status quo or limiting
economic losses. During the Restricted Period, restricted stock or restricted
stock units may not be transferred by the employee. In its discretion, the
Committee may shorten or terminate the Restricted Period or waive any other
restrictions applicable to the award.

         If the termination of a grantee's employment or service relationship
with Orangeco occurs during the Restricted Period, the award will be forfeited
unless the Committee, in its discretion, determines otherwise. Special rules
will apply to the vesting of an award upon the death or "permanent and total
disability" of a grantee. Any shares of restricted stock that are forfeited will
again be available for award under the 2000 Plan. The maximum number of shares
of restricted stock, or shares represented by restricted stock units, that can
be granted under the 2000 Plan to any eligible person is 250,000 shares per
year.

         The Committee may, in the agreement evidencing a grant of restricted
stock or restricted stock units, provide that the grantee will be entitled to
vote and to receive dividends on the shares of common stock subject to the
award. Upon vesting of an award of restricted stock or restricted stock units,
including the satisfaction, lapse or waiver of all applicable restrictions and
conditions, the grantee will be entitled to receive a stock certificate
representing the vested shares. The shares will be issuable to the grantee free
of charge, other than payment of the par value of such shares.

         Termination of the 2000 Plan. There is no specified termination date
for the 2000 Plan, which may be terminated by the Board of Directors at any
time. However, no ISOs may be granted under the 2000 Plan after the tenth
anniversary of the date of Board approval of the 2000 Plan.

                      DESCRIPTION OF ORANGECO CAPITAL STOCK

General
- -------

         Prior to the distribution, Orangeco's articles of incorporation and
bylaws will be amended. The amended and restated articles of incorporation will
provide that Orangeco is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of common stock,
par value $.10 per share, 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01
per share and 200,000,000 shares of equity stock, par value $.01 per share.
Immediately after the distribution, based on the number of shares of common
stock and class B common stock of Public Storage outstanding at _______________,
2000, approximately ___________ shares of common stock of Orangeco and no shares
of preferred stock or equity stock of Orangeco will be issued and outstanding.
The following description of Orangeco's capital stock is general. The forms of
Orangeco's amended and restated articles of incorporation and amended and
restated bylaws are filed as exhibits to Orangeco's registration statement on
Form 10 of which this information statement is a part.

Orangeco Common Stock
- ---------------------

         Holders of Orangeco common stock will be entitled to receive dividends
when, as and if declared by Orangeco's board of directors, out of funds legally
available therefor. Payment and declaration of dividends on, and repurchases of,
Orangeco common stock will be subject to certain restrictions if Orangeco fails
to pay dividends on outstanding preferred stock. See "- Preferred Stock." Upon
any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Orangeco, holders of Orangeco
common stock will be entitled to share equally and ratably in any assets
available for distribution to them, after payment or provision for payment of
the debts and other liabilities of Orangeco and the preferential amounts owing
with respect to any outstanding preferred stock. Holders of Orangeco common
stock have no preemptive rights, which means they have no right to acquire any
additional shares of Orangeco common stock that may be issued by Orangeco at a
subsequent date.

         Each outstanding share of Orangeco common stock entitles the holder to
one vote on all matters presented to holders of Orangeco common stock for a
vote, with the exception that holders of Orangeco common stock have cumulative
voting rights with respect to the election of Orangeco's board of directors, in
accordance with California law. Cumulative voting entitles each holder of
Orangeco common stock to cast as many votes as there are directors to be elected
multiplied by the number of shares registered in his or her name. A holder of
Orangeco common stock may cumulate the votes for directors by casting all of the
votes for one candidate or by distributing the votes among as many candidates as
the holder of Orangeco common stock chooses.

Preferred Stock
- ---------------

         Orangeco's amended and restated articles of incorporation will provide
that Orangeco is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.01
par value per share. The amended and restated articles of incorporation will
provide that the preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more
series and give its board of directors broad authority to fix the dividend,
conversion and voting rights, if any, redemption provisions and liquidation
preferences of each series of preferred stock. Orangeco will have no outstanding
shares of preferred stock immediately following the distribution.

Equity Stock
- ------------

         Orangeco's amended and restated articles of incorporation will provide
that Orangeco is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of equity stock, $.01
par value per share. The amended and restated articles of incorporation will
provide that the equity stock may be issued from time to time in one or more
series and give Orangeco's board of directors broad authority to fix the
dividend, conversion and voting rights, redemption provisions and liquidation
rights of each series of equity stock. Orangeco will have no outstanding shares
of equity stock immediately following the distribution.

Effects of Issuance of Capital Stock
- ------------------------------------

         The issuance of Orangeco common stock and the issuance of preferred
stock or equity stock with special voting rights could be used to deter attempts
by a single shareholder or group of shareholders to obtain control of Orangeco
in transactions not approved by Orangeco's board of directors. Orangeco has no
intention to issue Orangeco common stock or its preferred stock or equity stock
for such purposes.

                        FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

         The following discussion summarizes the material federal income tax
considerations relating to the distribution of Orangeco common stock. The
following discussion is not exhaustive of all possible tax considerations and
does not give a description of any state, local, or foreign tax considerations.
Nor does it discuss all of the aspects of federal income taxation that may be
relevant to a shareholder in light of his or her particular circumstances or to
certain types of shareholders (including insurance companies, tax-exempt
entities, financial institutions or broker-dealers, foreign corporations and
persons who are not citizens or residents of the United States) who are subject
to special treatment under federal income tax laws. The information in this
section is based on the Code, current, temporary and proposed treasury
regulations, the legislative history of the Code, current administrative
interpretations and practices of the IRS (including its practices and policies
as endorsed in private letter rulings, which are not binding on the IRS except
with respect to the taxpayer that receives such a ruling), and court decisions,
all as of the date of this information statement. No assurance can be given that
future legislation, treasury regulations, administrative interpretations and
court decisions will not significantly change current law or adversely affect
existing interpretations of current law. Any such change could apply
retroactively to transactions preceding the date of the change. Public Storage
have not requested and do not plan to request any rulings from the IRS
concerning the distribution or the future tax treatment of Public Storage or
Orangeco. Thus, no assurance can be provided that the statements below (which do
not bind the IRS or the courts) will not be challenged by the IRS or will be
sustained by a court if so challenged.

         EACH SHAREHOLDER IS ADVISED TO CONSULT HIS OR HER TAX ADVISOR,
REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO HIM OR HER OF THE DISTRIBUTION, AND THE
OWNERSHIP AND SALE OF ORANGECO SHARES, INCLUDING THE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL,
FOREIGN AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES.

         Taxation of Public Storage In General. The tax rules governing REITs
are highly technical and require continuous compliance with a variety of tests
that, among other things, restrict the nature of a REIT's income and assets and
mandate specified levels of distributions. Public Storage elected to be taxed as
a REIT for federal income tax purposes, commencing with its taxable year ended
December 31, 1981. Public Storage believes that it has been organized and
operated in a manner so as to qualify as a REIT, and intends to continue to
operate in such a manner. No assurance, however, can be given that Public
Storage has qualified, or will continue to qualify, as a REIT for any particular
taxable year.

         Taxation of the Distribution. You will be taxable on the distribution
in 2000, if you are subject to income tax. You will be taxable at ordinary
income rates as if you had received cash equal to the sum of the fair market
value of the shares received and the amount of any cash received in lieu of
fractional shares, and will take a tax basis in the distributed shares equal to
the reported value of the shares received. Public Storage will report to the IRS
and the shareholders the amount of income received by the shareholders, based on
Public Storage's board of directors' estimate of the fair market value of the
distributed shares. No assurance can be given that the IRS will agree with that
valuation.

         The distribution also will be a taxable transaction for Public Storage,
which will recognize gain to the extent that the fair market value of the
distributed Orangeco common stock exceeds Public Storage's tax basis in the
distributed shares. The aggregate amount of gain is estimated to be $__________.
Public Storage also will claim a dividends-paid deduction for tax purposes in
2000 equal to the fair market value of the distributed Orangeco common stock (in
the same amount per share as taxable shareholders would report as taxable income
when they receive the distribution) and the amount of cash paid in lieu of
fractional shares. That deduction will be taken into account by Public Storage
along with its other distributions in seeking to satisfy the distribution
requirements applicable to Public Storage as a REIT.

         Taxation Following the Distribution. Following the distribution,
Orangeco and Public Storage will operate as separate corporate entities.
Although the ownership of the two companies will be the same immediately
following the distribution, the shares of the two will trade separately and will
not be "paired" or "stapled."

         Orangeco will continue to be separately taxable as a regular "C"
corporation on its separate income. Shareholders of Orangeco will be treated as
are the shareholders of regular "C" corporations. Public Storage will seek to
continue its tax status as a REIT, and its shareholders would continue to be
subject to the treatment generally accorded to the shareholders of REITs.

         Following the distribution, Public Storage and Orangeco will be parties
to various agreements, and may become parties to future agreements. While the
parties expect to structure those arrangements in a reasonable manner that
involves arm's-length terms, there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree.
It is possible that the IRS may seek to reallocate items of income or expense
between the parties, or otherwise recharacterize the dealings between the
parties, in a fashion that may adversely affect Orangeco, Public Storage, both
entities or their shareholders.

              LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS; INDEMNIFICATION

         Orangeco's articles of incorporation limit the personal liability of
Orangeco's directors to Orangeco and its shareholders for money damages to the
maximum extent permitted by California law. As a result, Orangeco cannot hold
its directors personally liable for monetary damages if they acted in good
faith, with a reasonable belief that they were acting in Orangeco's best
interest.

         Orangeco's articles of incorporation also provide that Orangeco may
indemnify its agents to the maximum extent permitted under California law.
Orangeco has entered into indemnity agreements with its directors and executive
officers.

         The agreements permit Orangeco to indemnify directors and executive
officers to the maximum extent permitted under California law and prohibit
Orangeco from terminating its indemnification obligations as to acts or
omissions of any director or executive officer occurring before the termination.
The indemnification and limitations on liability permitted by the amendment to
the articles of incorporation and the agreements are subject to the limitations
set forth by California law.

         Orangeco has also purchased insurance for the benefit of its officers
and directors in order to protect them against liability, including with respect
to the foregoing indemnities. Orangeco believes the indemnification agreements
and insurance will assist it in attracting and retaining qualified individuals
to serve as directors and executive officers of Orangeco.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Public Storage, Inc.


                  We  have  audited  the  accompanying  combined  statements  of
assets,  liabilities,  and  deficit  of  the  portable  self-storage  and  truck
operations  of  Public   Storage,   Inc.  and  its   affiliates   (collectively,
"Orangeco"),  at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related combined statements
of  operations  and cash flows for each of the three  years in the period  ended
December  31,  1999.  These  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of
Orangeco's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to  express an opinion on these
financial statements 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 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  financial  statements  referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects,  the financial position of Orangeco at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.




                                                               ERNST & YOUNG LLP

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

                  Public Storage, Inc. ("PSI") is a real estate investment trust
         ("REIT")  that is  principally  engaged in the  business  of owning and
         operating miniwarehouse  facilities which offer self-storage spaces for
         lease, usually on a month-to-month basis, for personal and business use
         and,  to  a  lesser  extent  other   activities,   including   portable
         self-storage  and  sales of locks and  boxes  and  truck  rentals.  PSI
         expects to implement a distribution (the  "Distribution") of all of the
         shares of PS Orangeco, Inc. to common stockholders of PSI.

                  At the time of the Distribution,  PS Orangeco,  Inc. will hold
         and  operate  the  following   principal   business   activities:   (i)
         containerized   portable   self-storage   activities   (the   "Portable
         Self-Storage  Operations")  and  (ii) the  leasing  of  trucks  and the
         referral of customers to  third-party  truck  vendors in exchange for a
         commission  (collectively,  the "Truck Operations").  PS Orangeco, Inc.
         will also sell  merchandise  at its  portable  self-storage  locations;
         sales of merchandise,  net of cost of merchandise  sold, are presented,
         in interest and other income.

                  Portable Self-Storage  Operations began in 1996 and 1997, when
         PSI,  through  affiliates,  began  operating a  containerized  portable
         self-storage  business that rents  storage  containers to customers for
         storage in central facilities. Operations commenced in 1996 facilitated
         by the  acquisition  of an existing  operator.  At December  31,  1999,
         Portable  Self-Storage  Operations are comprised of 36 facilities in 11
         states operating  portable-self  storage (of which four are operated in
         owned   facilities),   and  also  includes  two  recently   constructed
         industrial facilities that were first leased as of January 1, 2000. One
         facility  recently  acquired is being  renovated  for use as a portable
         self-storage facility.

                  Truck  Operations are conducted at certain of the self-storage
         facilities operated by PSI, and are conducted primarily as a complement
         to PSI's existing self-storage business.

                  The financial statements include the historical  operations of
         the Portable Self-Storage Operations, Truck Operations, and the sale of
         merchandise at the portable self-storage  locations previously operated
         by  affiliates  of PSI  (hereinafter  referred to as  "Orangeco").  The
         accompanying   financial  statements  reflect  the  historical  assets,
         liabilities  and  deficit  of  the  businesses  to be  included  in the
         Distribution as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the related  revenues
         and expenses for the years ended  December  31, 1999,  1998,  and 1997.
         Accordingly,  these  statements do not purport to present the financial
         position or results of operations of PSI or any separate  legal entity.
         The Combined Statements of Operations may not necessarily be indicative
         of the  revenues  and  expenses  that  would  have  resulted  had these
         operating segments operated as a stand-alone entity.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

                  USE OF ESTIMATES:

                  The  preparation  of 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.

                  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:

                  Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments
         with an  original  maturity  of  three  months  or less at the  date of
         purchase. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates
         fair value.

                  ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS:

                  Orangeco's  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.  Orangeco's
         current  practice  is  to  conduct   environmental   investigations  in
         connection  with  property  acquisitions  and  development  activities.
         Although  there  can be no  assurance,  Orangeco  is not  aware  of any
         environmental contamination of any of its facilities which individually
         or in  the  aggregate  would  be  material  to  its  overall  business,
         financial condition, or results of operations.

                  PLANT, PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:

                  Cost of land includes appraisal fees and legal fees related to
         acquisition  and  closing  costs  as well as the  cost of  acquisition.
         Buildings  reflect costs incurred to develop or acquire the facilities.
         Costs related to the  improvements  of properties are  capitalized  and
         depreciated over their estimated useful lives.  Expenditures for repair
         and  maintenance  are charged to expense when  incurred.  Buildings are
         depreciated on the  straight-line  method over their  estimated  useful
         lives, which is generally 25 years.

                  Cost of furniture,  fixtures,  and equipment include all costs
         required to prepare the items for their intended use.  Expenditures for
         repair and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Furniture,
         fixtures,  and equipment are  depreciated on the  straight-line  method
         over the estimated useful lives, which are from 3 - 15 years.

                  GOODWILL:

                  Goodwill ($2,971,000 prior to accumulated amortization), which
         is  included in other  assets,  consists of the cost over fair value of
         net tangible and  identifiable  assets  acquired in connection with the
         1996  purchase  of an  existing  operator  of a  portable  self-storage
         facility.  Goodwill is  amortized  over a 10-year  period.  Goodwill at
         December  31,  1999  and  1998 is net of  accumulated  amortization  of
         $1,015,000 and $718,000,  respectively.  Included in  depreciation  and
         amortization  expense is $297,000  in each of the years ended  December
         31, 1999, 1998, and 1997 with respect to the amortization of goodwill.

                  EVALUATION OF ASSET IMPAIRMENT:

                  In 1995,  the FASB issued SFAS No.  121,  "Accounting  for the
         Impairment  of  Long-Lived  Assets  and  for  Long-Lived  Assets  to be
         Disposed  Of"  which  requires  impairment  losses  to be  recorded  on
         long-lived  assets.  Management  annually  evaluates  long-lived assets
         (including  goodwill),  by identifying  indicators of impairment and by
         comparing the sum of the estimated  undiscounted  future cash flows for
         each  asset  to  the  asset's  carrying  amount.   When  indicators  of
         impairment  are  present  and the sum of the  undiscounted  future cash
         flows is less than the carrying value of such asset, an impairment loss
         is  recorded  equal  to the  difference  between  the  asset's  current
         carrying value and its value based on discounting its estimated  future
         cash flows.  Statement 121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived
         assets  that are  expected  to be  disposed  of.  Such assets are to be
         reported at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value, less cost
         to sell.  Management's  evaluations have indicated no impairment in the
         carrying amount of its assets.

                  REVENUE AND EXPENSE RECOGNITION:

                  Rents and revenues are recognized as earned. Advertising costs
         for 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively,  of $600,000,  $9,200,000,  and
         $10,400,000 are expensed as incurred.

<PAGE>

                  GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES:

                  General and administrative expense includes professional fees,
         office expense,  executive salaries,  training,  recruiting,  and other
         such administrative items. General and administrative  expense includes
         $0.9 million and $0.4 million in 1999 and 1998, respectively,  of costs
         associated with terminated leases in facilities that were closed.

                  SHARED EXPENSES:

                  Cost of operations includes $1,912,000 in 1999, $10,546,000 in
         1998  and  $11,225,000  in  1997   representing   Orangeco's  share  of
         advertising and other such  activities that are conducted  jointly with
         PSI and its affiliates.  General and  administrative  expense  includes
         $505,000,   $1,147,000   and   $1,089,000  in  1999,   1998  and  1997,
         respectively,  of such shared expenses.  These  aforementioned  amounts
         included in cost of operations and general and  administrative  expense
         represent all amounts  incurred by PSI and its  affiliates on behalf of
         Orangeco,  all of which were  allocated to Orangeco in accordance  with
         the  allocation   methodology  pursuant  to  the  cost  allocation  and
         administrative services agreement between Orangeco and PSI. Allocations
         of shared expenses are based upon services provided using a methodology
         that  Management  believes is reasonable.  The expenses as presented on
         the income  statement  include all expenses that  Orangeco  incurs as a
         stand-alone  business operated as a business unit of Public Storage. If
         Orangeco were  operated as a separate  publicly-held  entity,  Orangeco
         estimates  that it would incur an additional  $625,000  (unaudited)  in
         general and administrative  expenses each year,  comprised primarily of
         transfer  agent fees,  audit fees,  tax return  preparation,  and other
         expenses related to shareholder relations.

                  INCOME TAXES:

                  Each  of  the  components  of  Orangeco,  as  included  in the
         financial  statements  herein,  have been owned historically by various
         entities with different taxable characteristics, including PSI, a REIT,
         an operating  partnership that owned  substantially all of the Portable
         Self-Storage   Operations,   and,  to  a  much  lesser  extent,  a  "C"
         corporation.  Orangeco,  once distributed to the shareholders of Public
         Storage, will not maintain these tax characteristics and tax bases. The
         "C" corporation had a net operating loss  carryforward of approximately
         $3.8 million at December 31, 1999.

3.       PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

                  Land and building at December 31, 1999  consists of (i) 5 real
         estate   facilities   owned  by  Orangeco   for  use  in  the  Portable
         Self-Storage  Operations and (ii) two facilities owned by Orangeco that
         were leased to third parties effective January 1, 2000.

                  Orangeco  capitalized  interest  in  the  amount  of  $50,000,
         $497,000, and $85,000 in 1999, 1998, and 1997,  respectively,  relating
         to the development of several facilities.

                  Furniture,  fixtures,  and equipment includes (i) the portable
         storage  containers  and  associated  container  coverings  utilized in
         Portable  Self-Storage   operations  ($31,852,000  and  $31,720,000  at
         December  31, 1999 and 1998,  respectively),  (ii)  trucks  utilized in
         Portable  Self-Storage and Truck Operations  ($4,343,000 and $3,506,000
         at  December  31,  1999  and  1998,   respectively,   (iii)   leasehold
         improvements  ($2,447,000 and $2,372,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
         respectively),  and (iv) furniture and other equipment  ($6,855,000 and
         $4,253,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively).

4.       FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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

                  Due to the short  period to  maturity of  Orangeco's  cash and
         cash equivalents,  accounts  receivable,  other assets, and accrued and
         other  liabilities,  the  carrying  values as presented on the combined
         balance sheets are reasonable estimates of fair value.

                  Orangeco's  financial  assets  that are exposed to credit risk
         consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.
         Cash and cash  equivalents,  which consist of  short-term  investments,
         including  commercial  paper,  are only  invested in  entities  with an
         investment grade credit rating.

                  Orangeco,  in the  normal  course of  business,  is exposed to
         credit  risk from its  customers.  However,  customer  receivables  are
         generally not a significant  portion of Orangeco's total assets and are
         comprised of a large number of individual customers.

                                      F-8

<PAGE>

                  Orangeco is not exposed to significant  interest rate risk due
         to the short-term  maturity of its monetary  current assets and current
         liabilities.

5.       RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

                  During 1997, 1998, and 1999, Public Storage provided operating
         advances to Orangeco at an average interest rate on amounts outstanding
         during each period of 5.5% in 1999, 5.15% in 1998, and 9.5% in 1997. In
         1997, an average of approximately  $12,000,000,  representing a portion
         of average advances outstanding, was non interest bearing.

                  Throughout  each of the three years ended  December  31, 1999,
         there have been significant  intercompany  arrangements  between Public
         Storage and  Orangeco as Orangeco  has  operated as a business  unit of
         Public  Storage.  Such  arrangements  include  shared  yellow  page and
         television advertising activities,  shared personnel,  and other shared
         resources.  Such amounts are separately  disclosed on the Statements of
         Operations.

6.       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

                  Orangeco  has entered into  operating  leases for 31 of the 36
         portable self-storage  locations and its trucks and equipment.  Minimum
         lease  payments  due under these  leases as of December 31, 1999 are as
         follows:


                                       Minimum Lease Payments

        Thereafter          $   224,000                     $   164,000

                  Rent expense was $13.6 million, $19.2 million and $8.8 million
         for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997.

                  Orangeco is involved in various legal  proceedings  arising in
         the  normal  course of  business.  In the  opinion of  management,  the
         ultimate  outcome of these  proceedings will not have a material effect
         on  Orangeco's  financial  position,  results  of  operations,  or  its
         liquidity.

7.       DEFICIT

                  Deficit  represents the excess of liabilities  over assets and
         reflects  the  effect of net  distributions  and  capital  transactions
         between PSI and its affiliates.

8.       DISCLOSURES REGARDING SEGMENT REPORTING

                  In  July  1997,   the  FASB  issued   Statement  of  Financial
         Accounting  Standards  No.  131,  "Disclosures  about  Segments  of  an
         Enterprise  and Related  Information"  ("FAS 131"),  which  establishes
         standards  for  the  way  that  public  business   enterprises   report
         information about operating  segments.  This statement is effective for

                                      F-9

<PAGE>

         financial  statements  for periods  beginning  after December 15, 1997.
         Orangeco has adopted this standard for all years presented.

                  DESCRIPTION OF EACH REPORTABLE SEGMENT:  Orangeco's reportable
         segments  reflect  its  significant   operating   activities  that  are
         evaluated separately by management.  There are two reportable segments:
         Portable Self-Storage Operations and Truck Operations.

                  Portable Self-Storage Operations reflect portable self-storage
         activities.  Truck Operations include the rental of trucks to customers
         as well as the referral of truck rentals to third parties, primarily on
         miniwarehouses operated by PSI.

                  MEASUREMENT  OF  SEGMENT  PROFIT OR LOSS:  The  management  of
         Orangeco evaluates  performance and allocates  resources based upon the
         net  segment  income  of each  segment  in  conformity  with  Generally
         Accepted Accounting  Principles and Orangeco's  significant  accounting
         policies. There are no significant intersegment activities.

                  MEASUREMENT OF SEGMENT ASSETS:  Management considers the level
         of net investment required in making resource allocation decisions.

                  PRESENTATION  OF SEGMENT  INFORMATION:  The  following  tables
         reconcile  the  performance  of  each  segment,  in  terms  of  segment
         revenues,  segment  income,  segment assets and additions to long-lived
         assets to the combined  revenues,  net income,  assets and additions to
         long-lived assets of Orangeco:

9.       IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

                  In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued
         statement No. 133 ("SFAS 133"),  "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
         and Hedging  Activities."  This  Statement is effective for  Orangeco's
         quarter  ended  March  31,  2000.  SFAS  133  requires  that an  entity
         recognize all  derivative  instruments  as either assets or liabilities
         and measure those instruments at fair value. Orangeco has no derivative
         instruments  and therefore  does not believe that this  statement  will
         have any material impact upon its combined financial statements.

10.      SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

                  In March  2000,  PSI filed a Form 10 with the  Securities  and
         Exchange  Commission  describing its intention to distribute all of the
         shares of Orangeco to its  shareholders.  Additional  information  with
         regard to this  transaction  is  included in the Form 10 filed with the
         Securities and Exchange Commission.

               PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


         Public Storage expects to make a distribution of 90.5% of the shares of
Orangeco  to  Public  Storage's  common   shareholders.   At  the  time  of  the
distribution,  Orangeco will principally operate portable self-storage and truck
rental activities.

         In the  distribution,  each common  shareholder  of Public Storage will
receive one share of Orangeco for each 20 shares of Public  Storage common stock
held; each class B common shareholder of Public Storage will receive 0.97 shares
of Orangeco  for each 20 shares of Public  Storage  class B stock  held.  Public
Storage will retain a 9.5% interest in Orangeco.

         In connection  with, and  conditioned  upon, the  distribution,  Public
Storage and Orangeco will enter into various  intercompany  operating agreements
relating principally to the leasing of facilities,  joint marketing efforts, and
truck rentals and retail sales activities.  See  "Arrangements  Between Orangeco
and Public Storage."

         Prior to the distribution,  Public Storage will contribute  $30,000,000
of cash to Orangeco to be used to fund its  operating  activities.  In addition,
Public Storage will convert its advances to equity in Orangeco.

         The following  unaudited pro forma combined  financial  statements were
prepared to reflect the impact of the transactions  occurring in connection with
the  distribution  and  estimated  additional  expenses that will be incurred by
Orangeco as a separate publicly-held corporation.

         The pro forma  combined  balance  sheet at  December  31, 1999 has been
prepared to reflect (i) Public  Storage's  contribution  of  $30,000,000 in cash
(ii)  conversion of Public Storage  advances to equity of Orangeco and (iii) the
capitalization expected at the time of the distribution.

         The pro forma  combined  statement  of  operations  for the year  ended
December 31, 1999 has been prepared  assuming (i)  additional  costs  associated
with Orangeco's  operation as a stand-alone  entity  following the  distribution
(ii) the  elimination  of interest  expense on advances from Public Storage that
will be converted to equity and (iii) the impact on facility lease  expense,  as
follows. In connection with the distribution, Public Storage agrees to net lease
to  Orangeco,  for  use in its  portable  self-storage  business,  a part of the
facilities that combines portable self-storage and mini-warehouse space. Many of
these  facilities  represent  replacement   properties  that  Orangeco  occupied
throughout fiscal 1999 and were leased from third parties.  Upon completion of a
facility that replaces an existing  facility,  Public  Storage  agrees to assume
Orangeco's lease for the replaced facility.

         The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and upon
certain assumptions as set forth in the pro forma combined financial  statements
that  Orangeco  believes  are  reasonable  in the  circumstances.  The pro forma
combined  financial   statements  and  accompanying  notes  should  be  read  in
conjunction with the historical financial statements of Orangeco.  The following
pro forma  combined  financial  statements  do not  purport  to  represent  what
Orangeco's  results  operations  would actually have been if the transactions in
fact had  occurred  at the  beginning  of the  respective  periods or to project
Orangeco's results of operations for any future date or period.

              NOTES TO PRO FORMA COMBINED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
                      FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999
                                   (UNAUDITED)


1.       IMPACT OF DISTRIBUTION AND ASSOCIATED TRANSACTIONS
         --------------------------------------------------

                  As a  result  of the  distribution,  Orangeco  will  become  a
         separate,  publicly  held  entity.  Accordingly,  Orangeco  will  begin
         incurring  all the costs  incurred  as a publicly  held  entity that it
         previously  did not incur as a non-public  entity.  These costs include
         transfer agent fees,  audit fees, legal fees,  director's fees,  office
         salaries, and other such expenses.

                  In  connection  with  the  distribution,  Public  Storage  and
         Orangeco have entered into lease  arrangements  whereby  Public Storage
         agrees to net lease to Orangeco,  for use in its portable  self-storage
         business, part of facilities that combine traditional  self-storage and
         containerized  self-storage  space  on the same  location.  Many of the
         facilities  that Public  Storage will lease to Orangeco  are  currently
         being developed and are expected to be available for occupancy over the
         next twelve months. In many instances,  it is anticipated that Orangeco
         will vacate  facilities that are leased from third parties prior to the
         expiration  of the lease term and occupy these newly  developed  Public
         Storage facilities.  In such instances,  Public Storage will assume the
         lease  obligation to the third  parties.  Once Public  Storage  assumes
         these leases, Orangeco will no longer have any obligations,  contingent
         or otherwise, with respect to these leases.

                  The  following  pro forma  adjustments  have been  recorded to
         reflect  the  impact of the  distribution  on  Orangeco's  general  and
         administrative   expense,   as  well  as  the  impact  of  the  leasing
         arrangements  with Public  Storage and the  conversion of advances from
         Public Storage to equity of Orangeco.

*   An adjustment to cost of operations has been recorded to reflect
    the assumed lease of 27 facilities from Public Storage as of
    January 1, 1999.  For these 27 facilities, lease and utilities
    expense will be approximately $4,700,000, compared to
    approximately $8,100,000 in lease and utilities expense for these
    27 facilities included in the 1999 historical amounts.  The
    adjustment reflects a 26% reduction in leased space, combined with
    lower lease rates due to longer lease terms and changes in the
    nature of the leased space..........................................   $    (3,400,000)

*   General and  administrative  expense has been  increased to reflect
    the costs of  Orangeco's  operating  as a  separate  publicly  held
    entity  including  transfer  agent  fees,  audit  fees,  tax return
    preparation  fees,  director's fees,  officer  salaries,  and other
    expenses............................................................   $       625,000

*   Interest  expense  has been  reduced to reflect the  conversion  of
    Public Storage's advances into equity ..............................   $    (5,041,000)
                                                                          =================

2.       WEIGHTED AVERAGE SHARES OUTSTANDING
         -----------------------------------

                  Pro forma net loss per  common  share has been  determined  by
         dividing  total  pro  forma  net loss by the  number  of  shares  to be
         distributed to the shareholders of Public Storage. The number of common
         shares of  Orangeco to be  distributed  to the  shareholders  of Public
         Storage is determined as follows:
