                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


1.   The  accompanying   unaudited  condensed  financial  statements  have  been
     prepared  pursuant  to the  rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and
     Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
     included in financial  statements  prepared in  accordance  with  generally
     accepted  accounting  principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to
     such  rules  and  regulations,   although   management  believes  that  the
     disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the information presented
     not misleading.  These unaudited condensed  financial  statements should be
     read in  conjunction  with  the  financial  statements  and  related  notes
     appearing in the  Partnership's  Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31,
     1997.

2.   In  the  opinion  of  management,   the  accompanying  unaudited  condensed
     financial  statements  reflect all  adjustments,  consisting of only normal
     accruals,  necessary to present fairly the Partnership's financial position
     at June 30, 1998,  the results of its  operations  for the six months ended
     June 30, 1998 and 1997 and its cash flows for the three months then ended.

3.   The results of  operations  for the six months  ended June 30, 1998 are not
     necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

4.   Marketable  securities at June 30, 1998 consist of 381,980 shares of common
     stock of Public  Storage,  Inc., a publicly  traded real estate  investment
     trust  and a  general  partner  of the  Partnership.  The  Partnership  has
     designated  its portfolio of  marketable  securities as available for sale.
     Accordingly,  at June 30, 1998, the Partnership has recorded the marketable
     securities  at fair  value,  based upon the  closing  quoted  prices of the
     securities  at June  30,  1998.  Changes  in  market  value  of  marketable
     securities  are  reflected  as  unrealized  gains  or  losses  directly  in
     Partners' Equity and accordingly have no effect on net income.

5.   The Partnership's mortgage note payable matures on October 1, 1998. On July
     1, 1998,  the  Partnership  paid off the  mortgage  note  payable with cash
     reserves and with the proceeds of a $22,000,000  loan from Public  Storage,
     Inc. The loan from Public Storage, Inc. bears interest at the fixed rate of
     7.2% and matures  June 30,  1999.  The loan calls for  monthly  payments of
     interest only.  Principal may be paid at any time without  penalty.  Public
     Storage,  Inc. has also provided the Partnership with options to extend the
     loan term through June 2003.

                       PUBLIC STORAGE PROPERTIES IV, LTD.
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

     THREE AND SIX MONTHS  ENDED JUNE 30, 1998  COMPARED TO THREE AND SIX MONTHS
ENDED JUNE 30, 1997:

     The  Partnership's  net income for the six months  ended June 30,  1998 was
$1,376,000  compared  to  $1,017,000  for the six months  ended  June 30,  1997,
representing  an increase of $359,000 or 35%. The  Partnership's  net income for
the three months  ended June 30, 1998 was $732,000  compared to $541,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1997,  representing  an increase of $191,000 or 35%.
These  increases  are primarily a result of increased  operating  results at the
Partnership's  real  estate  facilities  combined  with a decrease  in  interest
expense.

     Rental  income  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1998  was  $4,304,000
compared to $3,871,000  for the six months ended June 30, 1997  representing  an
increase of $433,000 or 11%.  Rental  income for the three months ended June 30,
1998 was  $2,194,000  compared to $1,954,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1997, representing an increase of $240,000 or 12%. These increases are primarily
attributable  to higher rental rates and occupancy  levels at the  Partnership's
mini-warehouse   facilities.  The  weighted  average  occupancy  levels  at  the
mini-warehouse  facilities  were 94% and 91% for the six  months  ended June 30,
1998 and 1997,  respectively.  Realized  rent for the six months  ended June 30,
1998  increased to $.87 per occupied  square foot from $.81 per occupied  square
foot for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

     Other  income  increased  $3,000  for the six months  ended  June 30,  1998
compared  to the same  period in 1997.  This  increase  is  primarily  due to an
increase in invested cash balances.

     Dividend income from marketable  securities of affiliate  increased $27,000
for the six months  ended June 30, 1998  compared to the same period in 1997 due
to an increase in the number of shares owned in 1998 compared to the same period
in 1997.

     Cost of operations  (including  management  fees paid to affiliate) for the
six months ended June 30, 1998 was $1,297,000 compared to $1,185,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1997,  representing an increase of $112,000 or 9%. Cost of
operations  (including  management  fees paid to affiliate) for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 was $648,000 compared to $580,000 for the three months ended
June 30,  1997,  representing  an increase of $68,000 or 12%.  This  increase is
mainly  attributable to increases in management fees, property taxes and payroll
expenses.  Property taxes  increased due to an increase in property tax rates at
some of the Partnership's mini-warehouse facilities.


                                       7

     Interest  expense  decreased  $46,000 to $1,369,000 in the six months ended
June 30,  1998 from  $1,415,000  in the same  period in 1997.  This  decrease is
mainly   attributable  to  a  lower  outstanding   principal   balances  on  the
Partnership's notes payable.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

     Cash flows from operating  activities  ($2,312,000 for the six months ended
June 30,  1998) have been  sufficient  to meet all  current  obligations  of the
Partnership.

     At June 30,  1998,  the  Partnership  held  381,980  shares of common stock
(marketable  securities) with a fair value totaling  $10,743,000  (cost basis of
$6,091,000 at June 30, 1998) in Public Storage, Inc. The Partnership  recognized
$168,000 in dividends for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

     In the third quarter of 1991, quarterly  distributions were discontinued to
enable the Partnership to make principal  payments that commenced in 1990 and to
increase  cash  reserves in  subsequent  years  through  1998, at which time the
remaining principal balance is due.

     On July 1, 1998,  the  Partnership  paid off the mortgage note payable with
cash reserves and with the proceeds of a $22,000,000  loan from Public  Storage,
Inc. The loan from Public Storage, Inc. bears interest at the fixed rate of 7.2%
and matures June 30, 1999. The loan calls for monthly payments of interest only.
Principal may be paid at any time without penalty. Public Storage, Inc. has also
provided the Partnership with options to extend the loan term through June 2003.
