Forward Looking Statements
- --------------------------

         When  used  within  this  document,  the words  "expects,"  "believes,"
"anticipates,"  "should,"  "estimates," and similar  expressions are intended to
identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of that term in Section
27A of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1933, as amended,  and in Section 21F of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements
involve known and unknown risks,  uncertainties,  and other  factors,  which may
cause the actual  results and  performance  of the  Partnership 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 real estate
facilities  which could  impact  rents and  occupancy  levels at the real estate
facilities that the Partnership's has an interest in; the Partnership's  ability
to  effectively  compete 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, those governing Partnerships; and the
impact of general economic  conditions upon rental rates and occupancy levels at
the real estate facilities that the Partnership has an interest in.

General
- -------

         Public Storage  Properties IV, Ltd., (the  "Partnership") is a publicly
held limited partnership formed under the California Uniform Limited Partnership
Act in December 1977. The  Partnership  raised  $20,000,000 in gross proceeds by
selling 40,000 units of limited partnership  interest ("Units") in an interstate
offering, which commenced in May 1978 and was completed in November 1978.

         In  1995,   there  were  a  series  of  mergers  among  Public  Storage
Management,  Inc. (which was the Partnership's  mini-warehouse operator), Public
Storage,  Inc. (which was one of the Partnership's general partners) ("old PSI")
and their  affiliates  (collectively,  "PSMI"),  culminating in the November 16,
1995 merger (the "PSMI  Merger") of PSMI into  Storage  Equities,  Inc.,  a real
estate investment trust ("REIT") organized as a California  corporation.  In the
PSMI Merger, Storage Equities, Inc. was renamed Public Storage, Inc. ("PSI") and
PSI acquired  substantially  all of PSMI's United States real estate  operations
and became a  co-general  partner of the  Partnership  and the  operator  of the
Partnership's mini-warehouse properties.

         The  Partnership's  general  partners  are  PSI  and  B.  Wayne  Hughes
("Hughes") (collectively referred to as the "General Partners"). Hughes has been
a general partner of the Partnership since its inception.  Hughes is chairman of
the board and chief  executive  officer of PSI,  and  Hughes and  members of his
family (the "Hughes Family") are the major shareholders of PSI.

         The  Partnership  is managed and its  investment  decisions are made by
Hughes and the executive  officers and directors of PSI. The limited partners of
the Partnership  have no right to participate in the operation or conduct of its
business and affairs.

         The  Partnership's  objectives  are to (i) maximize the  potential  for
appreciation  in  value  of  the  Partnership's  properties  and  (ii)  generate
sufficient cash flow from operations to pay all expenses,  including the payment
of interest to  Noteholders.  All of the  properties  were financed in September
1988.

         The term of the  Partnership is until all properties have been sold and
in any event, not later than December 31, 2038.

Investments in Facilities
- -------------------------

         At December  31,  1999,  the  Partnership  owned 17  properties  in two
states.

         The Partnership believes that its operating results have benefited from
favorable   industry   trends  and  conditions.   Notably,   the  level  of  new
mini-warehouse  construction  has decreased since 1988 while consumer demand has
increased.  In  addition,  in recent  years  consolidation  has  occurred in the
fragmented mini-warehouse industry.

                                       2

<PAGE>

         Mini-warehouses  are  designed to offer  accessible  storage  space for
personal  and  business  use at a  relatively  low  cost.  A user  rents a fully
enclosed space which is for the user's  exclusive use and to which only the user
has access on an unrestricted basis during business hours.  On-site operation is
the  responsibility  of resident  managers who are  supervised by area managers.
Some  mini-warehouses  also include rentable uncovered parking areas for vehicle
storage.  Leases for  mini-warehouse  space may be on a long-term or  short-term
basis,  although typically spaces are rented on a month-to-month  basis.  Rental
rates vary according to the location of the property and the size of the storage
space.

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

         Mini-warehouses in which the Partnership has invested generally consist
of three to seven  buildings  containing  an  aggregate  of  between  350 to 750
storage  spaces,  most of  which  have  between  25 and 400  square  feet and an
interior height of approximately 8 to 12 feet.

         The  Partnership   experiences  minor  seasonal   fluctuations  in  the
occupancy levels of mini-warehouses with occupancies higher in the summer months
than in the winter  months.  The  Partnership  believes that these  fluctuations
result in part from increased moving activity during the summer.

         The Partnership's  mini-warehouses  are geographically  diversified and
are generally  located in heavily populated areas and close to concentrations of
apartment  complexes,  single family  residences  and  commercial  developments.
However,  there may be  circumstances  in which it may be  appropriate  to own a
property  in a less  populated  area,  for  example,  in an area  that is highly
visible  from a major  thoroughfare  and  close to,  although  not in, a heavily
populated area. Moreover,  in certain population centers,  land costs and zoning
restrictions may create a demand for space in nearby less populated areas.

         As  with  most  other  types  of  real  estate,   the   conversion   of
mini-warehouses to alternative uses in connection with a sale or otherwise would
generally require substantial  capital  expenditures.  However,  the Partnership
does not intend to convert its mini-warehouses to other uses.

Operating Strategies
- --------------------

         The Partnership's mini-warehouses are operated by PSI under the "Public
Storage" name, which the Partnership believes is the most recognized name in the
mini-warehouse  industry.  The major  elements  of the  Partnership's  operating
strategies are as follows:

*    CAPITALIZE ON "PUBLIC  STORAGE'S" NAME RECOGNITION.  PSI, together with its
     predecessor,  has  more  than  20  years  of  operating  experience  in the
     mini-warehouse  business.  PSI has informed the Partnership  that it is the
     largest  mini-warehouse  facility operator in the United States in terms of
     both number of facilities  and rentable space  operated.  PSI believes that
     its marketing and advertising  programs improve its competitive position in
     the  market.   PSI's  in-house   Yellow  Pages  staff  designs  and  places
     advertisements in approximately 700 directories.  Commencing in early 1996,
     PSI began to experiment  with a telephone  reservation  system  designed to
     provide added customer  service.  Customers  calling either PSI's toll-free
     telephone referral system, (800) 44-STORE, or a mini-warehouse facility are
     directed  to  PSI's  reservation  system  where  a  trained  representative
     discusses  with  the  customer  space  requirements,   price  and  location
     preferences  and also informs the  customer of other  products and services
     provided by PSI. The telephone  reservation system supports rental activity
     at all of the Partnership's properties.  PSI's toll-free telephone referral
     system  services  approximately  175,000  calls  per month  from  potential
     customers inquiring as to the nearest Public Storage mini-warehouse.

*    MAINTAIN HIGH OCCUPANCY LEVELS AND INCREASE ANNUAL REALIZED RENTS.  Subject
     to market  conditions,  the Partnership  generally seeks to achieve average
     occupancy  levels  in excess of 90% and to  eliminate  promotions  prior to
     increasing   rental  rates.   Average   occupancy  for  the   Partnership's
     mini-warehouses  was 94% in 1998 and 93% 1999.  Annual  realized  rents per
     occupied square foot increased 6% from $10.66 in 1998 to $11.30 in 1999.

                                       3

<PAGE>

*    SYSTEMS AND CONTROLS.  PSI has an  organizational  structure and a property
     operation system, "CHAMP" (Computerized Help and Management Program), which
     links its corporate  office with each  mini-warehouse.  This enables PSI to
     obtain  daily   information  from  each   mini-warehouse   and  to  achieve
     efficiencies in operations and maintain  control over its space  inventory,
     rental rates,  promotional discounts and delinquencies.  Expense management
     is achieved through  centralized payroll and accounts payable systems and a
     comprehensive  property  tax appeals  department  and PSI has an  extensive
     internal  audit  program   designed  to  ensure  proper  handling  of  cash
     collections.

*    PROFESSIONAL PROPERTY OPERATION.  There are approximately 4,450 persons who
     render services for the Public Storage system,  primarily personnel engaged
     in  property  operations,  substantially  all of  whom  are  employed  by a
     clearing  company that provides  certain  administrative  and  cost-sharing
     services to PSI and others owners of properties operated by PSI.

Property Operator
- -----------------

         The   Partnership's    mini-warehouses   are   managed   by   PSI   (as
successor-in-interest  to PSMI) under a Management  Agreement.  PSI has informed
the Partnership that it is the largest  mini-warehouse  facility operator in the
United States in terms of both number of facilities and rentable space operated.

         Under the supervision of the Partnership, PSI coordinates the operation
of the  facilities,  establishes  rental policies and rates,  directs  marketing
activity  and  directs the  purchase  of  equipment  and  supplies,  maintenance
activity  and  the  selection  and  engagement  of  all  vendors,  supplies  and
independent contractors.

         PSI  engages,  at the  expense of the  Partnership,  employees  for the
operation  of  the  Partnership's   facilities,   including  resident  managers,
assistant managers, relief managers, and billing and maintenance personnel. Some
or all of these  employees may be employed on a part-time  basis and may also be
employed by other persons, partnerships,  real estate investment trusts or other
entities owning facilities operated by PSI.

         In the purchasing of services such as advertising  (including broadcast
media advertising) and insurance, PSI attempts to achieve economies by combining
the resources of the various facilities that it operates. Facilities operated by
PSI  have  historically  carried   comprehensive   insurance,   including  fire,
earthquake, liability and extended coverage.

         PSI has developed systems for space inventory,  accounting and handling
delinquent  accounts,  including a  computerized  network  linking PSI  operated
facilities. Each project manager is furnished with detailed operating procedures
and typically  receives  facilities  management  training from PSI. Form letters
covering a variety of circumstances are also supplied to the project managers. A
record of actions  taken by the project  managers  when  delinquencies  occur is
maintained.

         The  Partnership's  facilities  are typically  advertised  via signage,
yellow pages,  flyers and broadcast media advertising  (television and radio) in
geographic  areas in which many of the  Partnership's  facilities  are  located.
Broadcast  media and other  advertising  costs are charged to the  Partnership's
facilities located in geographic areas affected by the advertising. From time to
time, PSI adopts  promotional  programs,  such as temporary rent reductions,  in
selected areas or for individual facilities.

         For as long as the Management  Agreement is in effect,  PSI has granted
the Partnership a non-exclusive license to use two PSI service marks and related
designs,  including the "Public  Storage" name, in  conjunction  with rental and
operation of  facilities  managed  pursuant to the  Management  Agreement.  Upon
termination of the Management  Agreement,  the Partnership  would no longer have
the right to use the  service  marks and  related  designs  except as  described
below.  The  General  Partners  believe  that the  loss of the  right to use the
service marks and related  designs could have a material  adverse  effect on the
Partnership's business.

         The Management  Agreement between the Partnership and PSI provides that
the Management  Agreement may be terminated  without cause upon 60 days' written
notice by either party.

                                       4

Competition
- -----------

         Competition  in the market areas in which the  Partnership  operates is
significant  and  affects  the  occupancy  levels,  rental  rates and  operating
expenses  of  certain  of  the  Partnership's  facilities.  Competition  may  be
accelerated  by any increase in  availability  of funds for  investment  in real
estate. Recent increases in plans for development of mini-warehouses is expected
to further  intensify  competition  among  mini-warehouse  operators  in certain
market areas. In addition to competition from  mini-warehouses  operated by PSI,
there are three other national firms and numerous  regional and local operators.
The Partnership believes that the significant operating and financial experience
of PSI, and the "Public Storage" name, should enable the Partnership to continue
to compete effectively with other entities.

Other Business Activities
- -------------------------

         A corporation  owned by the Hughes Family  reinsures  policies  against
losses to goods  stored by tenants  in the  Partnership's  mini-warehouses.  The
Partnership  believes that the  availability of insurance  reduces the potential
liability of the  Partnership to tenants for losses to their goods from theft or
destruction.  This  corporation  receives  the  premiums  and  bears  the  risks
associated with the insurance.

         A corporation,  in which PSI has a 95% economic interest and the Hughes
Family has a 5% economic interest,  sells locks, boxes and tape to tenants to be
used in securing  their  spaces and moving their  goods.  PSI believes  that the
availability of locks, boxes and tape for sale promotes the rental of spaces.

Employees
- ---------

         There are 54 persons who render services on behalf of the  Partnership.
These persons include resident managers,  assistant  managers,  relief managers,
district managers, and administrative  personnel. Some employees may be employed
on a part-time basis and may be employed by other persons,  Partnerships,  REITs
or other entities owning facilities operated by PSI.

     rebuilt and recommenced operations in October 1994.

(2)  In 1995, the Partnership sold approximately  4,729 sq. ft. of this property
     to the State of Florida under a condemnation proceeding.

         The weighted average occupancy level for the mini-warehouse  facilities
was 94% and 93% for 1998 and 1999, respectively.

         Substantially all of the  Partnership's  facilities were acquired prior
to the time that it was  customary to conduct  environmental  investigations  in
connection with property  acquisitions.  During 1995, the Partnership  completed
environmental  assessments  of its  properties  to  evaluate  the  environmental
condition of, and potential environmental liabilities of such properties.  These
assessments  were performed by an  independent  environmental  consulting  firm.
Based on the  assessments,  the Partnership  expensed  $26,000 in 1995 for known
environmental remediation requirements.

         The properties are held subject to encumbrances  which are described in
this report under Note 7 of the Notes to the  Financial  Statements  included in
Item 14(a).

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         No material legal proceeding is pending against the Partnership.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

         No matters  were  submitted  to a vote of security  holders  during the
fourth quarter of 1999.

                                     PART II

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR THE PARTNERSHIP'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
         MATTERS

         The Partnership has no common stock.

         The Units are not listed on any national  securities exchange or quoted
on the NASDAQ System,  and there is no established public trading market for the
Units. Secondary sales activity for the Units has been limited and sporadic. The
General Partners monitor transfers of the Units (a) because the admission of the
transferee as a substitute  limited partner  requires the consent of the General
Partners under the Partnership's  Amended and Restated Certificate and Agreement
of  Limited  Partnership,  (b) in order to ensure  compliance  with safe  harbor
provisions  to  avoid  treatment  as a  "publicly  traded  partnership"  for tax
purposes,  and (c) because  the General  Partners  (and their  affiliates)  have
purchased Units. However, the General Partners do not have information regarding
the  prices at which all  secondary  sale  transactions  in the Units  have been
effectuated.   Various   organizations   offer  to  purchase  and  sell  limited
partnership  interests  (including  securities of the type such as the Units) in
secondary sales  transactions.  Various  publications such as The Stanger Report
summarize  and report  information  (on a monthly,  bimonthly  or less  frequent
basis)  regarding  secondary sales  transactions in certain limited  partnership
interests  (including  the Units),  including the prices at which such secondary
sales transactions are effectuated.

         Exclusive of the General Partners'  interest in the Partnership,  as of
December 31, 1999, there were approximately 1,071 record holders of Units.

         Distributions to the general and limited partners of all cash available
for  distribution  have been made quarterly.  Cash available for distribution is
generally  funds from  operations  of the  Partnership,  without  deduction  for
depreciation,  but after  deducting  funds to pay or establish  reserves for all
other expenses (other than incentive  distributions to the general partners) and
capital  improvements,  plus net  proceeds  from any  sale or  financing  of the
Partnership's  properties. In the third quarter of 1991, quarterly distributions
were discontinued to enable the Partnership to pay down its outstanding debt.

         Reference is made to Item 6 and 7 hereof for  information on the amount
of such distributions.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
- --------------------------

         When  used  within  this  document,  the words  "expects,"  "believes,"
"anticipates,"  "should,"  "estimates," and similar  expressions are intended to
identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of that term in Section
27A of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1933, as amended,  and in Section 21F of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements
involve known and unknown risks,  uncertainties,  and other  factors,  which may
cause the actual  results and  performance  of the  Partnership 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 real estate
facilities  which could  impact  rents and  occupancy  levels at the real estate
facilities that the Partnership's has an interest in; the Partnership's  ability
to  effectively  compete 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, those governing Partnerships; and the
impact of general economic  conditions upon rental rates and occupancy levels at
the real estate facilities that the Partnership has an interest in.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998:

         The  Partnership's  net  income  was  $5,105,000  in 1999  compared  to
$3,507,000 in 1998,  representing  an increase of  $1,598,000.  This increase is
primarily a result of  increased  operating  results at the  Partnership's  real
estate facilities combined with a decrease in interest expense.

         During 1999 property net operating  income  (rental income less cost of
operations,  management fees paid to an affiliate and depreciation  expense) was
$5,609,000 in 1999 compared to $5,241,000 in 1998,  representing  an increase of
$368,000 or 7%.  This  increase  was  primarily  attributable  to an increase in
rental income at the Partnership's mini-warehouse facilities partially offset by
an increase in cost of operations and depreciation expense.

         Rental  income was  $9,293,000  in 1999 compared to $8,811,000 in 1998,
representing  an  increase  of  $482,000  or  5%.  The  increase  was  primarily
attributable to an increase in rental rates at the Partnership's facilities. The
weighted average occupancy levels at the mini-warehouse  facilities were 93% and
94% in 1999 and 1998, respectively. The annual realized rent per occupied square
foot was $11.30 in 1999 compared to $10.66 in 1998.

         Other income decreased  $79,000 in 1999 compared to 1998. This decrease
is primarily a result of payments  which have reduced the  principal  balance on
the note  payable to a commercial  bank with cash  reserves,  which  resulted in
lower cash balances and consequently less interest earned.

         Dividend  income from  marketable  securities  of  affiliate  increased
$249,000 in 1999 compared to 1998.  This increase is due to increased  dividends
on the marketable securities of affiliate in 1999 compared to 1998.

         Cost of  operations  (including  management  fees paid to an affiliate)
increased  $49,000 or 2% to  $2,693,000 in 1999 from  $2,644,000  in 1998.  This
increase  was  primarily  attributable  to  increases  in  management  fees  and
advertising expenses.

         Interest  expense  was  $1,021,000  and  $2,080,000  in 1999 and  1998,
respectively,  representing  a decrease of  $1,059,000  or 51%. The decrease was
primarily a result of a lower average  outstanding loan balance in 1999 compared
to 1998 and reduced  interest rates on the  Partnership's  debt resulting from a
refinancing of the partnership's debt. See Liquidity and Capital Resources for a
discussion of the refinancing of the Partnership's indebtedness.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997:

         The  Partnership's  net  income  was  $3,507,000  in 1998  compared  to
$2,281,000 in 1997,  representing  an increase of  $1,226,000.  This increase is
primarily a result of  increased  operating  results at the  Partnership's  real
estate facilities combined with a decrease in interest expense.

         During 1998 property net operating  income  (rental income less cost of
operations,  management fees paid to an affiliate and depreciation  expense) was
$5,241,000 in 1998 compared to $4,731,000 in 1997,  representing  an increase of
$510,000 or 11%.  This  increase was  primarily  attributable  to an increase in
rental income at the Partnership's mini-warehouse facilities partially offset by
an increase in cost of operations and depreciation expense.

         Rental  income was  $8,811,000  in 1998 compared to $8,086,000 in 1997,
representing  an  increase  of  $725,000  or  9%.  The  increase  was  primarily
attributable  to an  increase  in  occupancy  level  and  rental  rates  at  the
Partnership's   facilities.   The  weighted  average  occupancy  levels  at  the
mini-warehouse  facilities were 94% and 93% in 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The
annual  realized rent per occupied  square foot  increased from $9.93 in 1997 to
$10.66 in 1998.

         Other income decreased  $42,000 in 1998 compared to 1997. This decrease
is  primarily a result of the pay off of the  mortgage  note  payable  with cash
reserves  in  September  1998,   which  resulted  in  lower  cash  balances  and
consequently less interest earned.

                                       9

<PAGE>

         Dividend  income from  marketable  securities  of  affiliate  increased
$35,000 in 1998 compared to 1997.  This increase is primarily due to an increase
in the weighted average number of shares owned in 1998 compared to 1997.

         Cost of  operations  (including  management  fees paid to an affiliate)
increased  $170,000 or 7% to  $2,644,000 in 1998 from  $2,474,000 in 1997.  This
increase  was  primarily   attributable   to  increases  in   management   fees,
advertising, property tax, and repairs and maintenance expenses.

         Interest  expense  was  $2,080,000  and  $2,805,000  in 1998 and  1997,
respectively,  representing  a decrease  of $725,000 or 26%.  The  decrease  was
primarily a result of a lower average  outstanding loan balance in 1998 compared
to  1997  and  lower  interest  rates  on the  Partnership's  indebtedness.  See
Liquidity  and Capital  Resources  for a discussion  of the  refinancing  of the
Partnership's indebtedness.

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

         Cash flows from  operating  activities  ($5,789,000  for the year ended
December 31, 1999) have been  sufficient to meet all current  obligations of the
Partnership.  During 2000, the Partnership anticipates approximately $294,000 of
capital improvements compared to $373,000 in 1999 and $393,000 in 1998.

         At December 31, 1999,  the  Partnership  held 381,980  shares of common
stock (marketable  securities) with a fair value totaling $8,666,000 (cost basis
of  $6,091,000  at  December  31,  1999) in  Public  Storage,  Inc.  (PSI).  The
Partnership recognized $585,000 in dividends during 1999.

         In the third quarter of 1991, quarterly distributions were discontinued
to enable the  Partnership  to increase its funds  available for debt  principal
payments.

         Distributions  to the  limited  and  general  partners  for  the  years
1978-1991  aggregated  $62,032,000  including  $29,360,000  distributed  to  the
partners in 1988 in connection with a financing of the properties.

         During 1988,  the  Partnership  financed all of its  properties  with a
$30,500,000 loan with fixed interest of 10.47 percent per annum. Net proceeds of
$29,360,000 were distributed to the partners in October 1988 and are included in
the 1988 distribution.

         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.,  a general  partner  of the  Partnership.  The loan from  Public
Storage,  Inc. had a fixed  interest rate of 7.2% and matured June 30, 1999. The
loan was liquidated  through  proceeds as described in the next  paragraph.  The
loan called for monthly payments of interest only.  Principal was payable at any
time without  penalty.  Public Storage,  Inc. also provided the Partnership with
options to extend the loan term through June 2003.

         During  September 1998, the  Partnership  borrowed  $21,000,000  from a
commercial  bank.  The  loan is  unsecured  and  bears  interest  at the  London
Interbank  Offering  Rate  ("LIBOR")  plus 0.60% to 1.20% (7.10% at December 31,
1999) depending on the Partnership's  interest coverage ratio. The loan requires
monthly payments of interest and matures September 2002.  Principal may be paid,
in whole or in part, at any time without  penalty or premium.  The loan proceeds
were used to pay off the Partnership's note to Public Storage, Inc.

         The  Partnership  also entered into an interest rate swap  agreement to
reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on a portion of its floating rate
debt.  The  agreement,  which covers  $11,500,000 of debt through March 2000 and
$7,500,000  from March 2000  through  September  2000,  effectively  changes the
interest rate exposure from floating rate to a fixed rate of 5.22% plus 0.60% to
1.20%  (5.82% as of  December  31,  1999)  based on the  Partnership's  interest
coverage  ratio.  Market  gains and losses on the value of the swap are deferred
and included in income over the life of the contract.  The  Partnership  records
the differences  paid or received on the interest rate swap in interest  expense
as payments are made or received.  As of December 31, 1999, the unrealized  gain
on the  interest  rate swap,  if required to be  liquidated,  was  approximately
$35,000.

YEAR 2000 SYSTEM ISSUES
- -----------------------

         The Year 2000 Issue arises  because many  computerized  systems use two
digits rather than four to identify a year. Date sensitive systems may recognize
the Year 2000 as 1900 or some other date,  resulting in errors when  information
using Year 2000 dates is processed.  In addition,  similar problems may arise in
some systems which use certain dates in 1999 to represent something other than a
date. Although the change in date to the Year 2000 has occurred and no Year 2000
Issues have been identified,  it is not possible to conclude that all aspects of
the Year 2000  Issue  that may affect the  entity,  including  those  related to
customers, suppliers, or other third parties, have been fully resolved.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         The  Partnership's  interest  expense  is  sensitive  to changes in the
general level of U.S.  interest rates. In this regard,  changes in U.S. interest
rates affect the interest paid on the Partnership's debt. To mitigate the impact
of fluctuations in U.S. interest rates, the Partnership  generally maintains its
debt as fixed rate in nature by borrowing on a long-term  basis or entering into
interest  swap  transactions.  As of December  31,  1999,  the  Partnership  had
$14,050,000  of  outstanding  debt  maturing  in  September,   2002.  Also,  the
Partnership  has an interest rate swap in the notional  amount of $11,500,000 as
of December 31,  1999,  the interest  swap expires in stages  through  September
2000.

         As of December 31, 1999, the unrealized gain on the interest rate swap,
which would be deferred  if  liquidated  prior to  maturity,  was  approximately
$35,000.

         (b) The Partnership has no officers and directors. The General Partners
contributed  $202,000 to the original capital of the Partnership and as a result
participate  in  the   distributions   to  the  limited   partners  and  in  the
Partnership's  profits  and  losses  in the same  proportion  that  the  General
Partners'  capital  contribution  bears  to  the  total  capital   contribution.
Information  regarding  ownership  of  Units  by PSI  and  Hughes,  the  General
Partners,  is set forth under section (a) above. Dann V. Angeloff, a director of

         (c) The Partnership knows of no contractual arrangements, the operation
of the terms of which may at a subsequent  date result in a change in control of
the  Partnership,  except  for  articles  16,  17 and 21.1 of the  Partnership's
Amended  Certificate  and  Agreement of Limited  Partnership  (the  "Partnership
Agreement"),  a copy  of  which  is  included  in the  Partnership's  prospectus
included in the  Partnership's  Registration  Statement File No. 2-60530.  Those
articles provide, in substance,  that the limited partners shall have the right,
by majority  vote,  to remove a general  partner and that a general  partner may
designate  a  successor  with the  consent of the other  general  partner  and a
majority of the limited partners.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

         The Partnership  Agreement  provides that the General  Partners will be
entitled  to  cash  incentive  distributions  in an  amount  equal  to (i) 8% of
distributions  of cash  flow from  operations  until  the  distributions  to all
partners from all sources equal their capital contributions;  thereafter, 25% of
distributions of cash flow from operations,  and (ii) 25% of distributions  from
net proceeds from sale and financing of the Partnership's  properties  remaining
after  distribution  to all  partners of any portion  thereof  required to cause
distributions to partners from all sources to equal their capital contributions.

capital contributions.  The Partnership has not made any distributions since the
third quarter of 1991.

operated for the Partnership. During 1999, the Partnership paid fees of $558,000
to PSI pursuant to the Management Agreement.

The Partners
Public Storage Properties IV, Ltd.


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Public Storage Properties IV,
Ltd. as of December  31, 1999 and 1998,  and the related  statements  of income,
partners'  equity  (deficit)  and cash flows for each of the three  years in the
period ended December 31, 1999. Our audits also included the schedule  listed in
the  index at item  14(a).  These  financial  statements  and  schedule  are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the 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 Public Storage Properties IV,
Ltd. 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.
Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule,  when considered
in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,  presents fairly
in all material respects the information set forth therein.




                                                               ERNST & YOUNG LLP

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                December 31, 1999


1.       DESCRIPTION OF PARTNERSHIP

                  Public  Storage  Properties IV, Ltd. (the  "Partnership")  was
         formed with the proceeds of a public offering.  The general partners in
         the Partnership are Public  Storage,  Inc.  ("PSI") and B. Wayne Hughes
         ("Hughes").  The Partnership owns 17 mini-warehouse  facilities located
         in California and Florida.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PARTNERSHIP MATTERS

         Mini-Warehouse Facilities:
         --------------------------

                  Cost of land includes appraisal fees and legal fees related to
         acquisition  and closing costs.  Buildings and equipment  reflect costs
         incurred to develop primarily  mini-warehouse  facilities which provide
         self-service  storage  spaces  for lease,  usually on a  month-to-month
         basis,  to  the  general  public.   The  buildings  and  equipment  are
         depreciated on a straight-line  basis over estimated useful lives of 25
         and 5 years, respectively.

                  In 1995,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued
         Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 121,  "Accounting for
         the  Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be
         Disposed of"  ("Statement  121").  Statement  121  requires  impairment
         losses to be recorded on  long-lived  assets  used in  operations  when
         indicators of impairment  are present and the  undiscounted  cash flows
         estimated  to be  generated  by those  assets are less than the assets'
         carrying  amount.  Statement  121 also  addresses  the  accounting  for
         long-lived  assets that are expected to be disposed of. The Partnership
         has not  identified  any assets  which  indicate an  impairment  in the
         carrying value of the asset is present.

         Revenue Recognition:
         --------------------

                  Property rents are recognized as earned.

         Allocation of Net Income:
         -------------------------

                  The general  partners' share of net income consists of amounts
         attributable to their capital contribution and an additional percentage
         of cash flow (as defined) which relates to the general  partners' share
         of cash  distributions as set forth in the Partnership  Agreement (Note
         4). All remaining net income is allocated to the limited partners.

                  Per unit data is based on the weighted  average  number of the
         limited partnership units (40,000) outstanding during the period.

         Cash and Cash Equivalents:
         --------------------------

                  For financial  statement purposes,  the Partnership  considers
         all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months
         or less to be cash equivalents.

         Marketable Securities:
         ----------------------

                  Marketable securities at December 31, 1999 and 1998 consist of
         381,980 shares of common stock of PSI. The  Partnership  has designated
         its  portfolio of marketable  securities  as being  available for sale.
         Accordingly,  at  December  31,  1999 and  1998,  the  Partnership  has
         recorded  the  marketable  securities  at fair  value,  based  upon the
         closing  quoted price of the  securities at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
         and has recorded a corresponding  unrealized loss totaling  $1,671,000,
         $883,000,  and $291,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and
         1997,   respectively,   as  a  decrease  to  Partnership   equity.  The
         Partnership recognized dividends of $585,000, $336,000 and $301,000 for
         the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PARTNERSHIP MATTERS
         (CONTINUED)

         Comprehensive Income:
         ---------------------

                  As of January 1, 1998,  the  Company  adopted  Statement  130,
         Reporting Comprehensive Income. Statement 130 establishes new rules for
         the reporting and display of  comprehensive  income and its components;
         however,  the adoption of this Statement had no impact on the Company's
         net income or shareholders'  equity.  Statement 130 requires unrealized
         gains or losses on the Company's available-for- sale securities,  which
         prior to adoption were reported separately in shareholders'  equity, to
         be included in other  comprehensive  income. The primary impact of this
         statement  for the  Company is to  recharacterize  unrealized  gains or
         losses in shareholders' equity as "other  comprehensive  income." Prior
         year  financial  statements  have been  reclassified  to conform to the
         requirements of Statement 130.

         Other Assets:
         -------------

                  Included  in other  assets  are  deferred  financing  costs of
         $68,000 at  December  31,  1997.  Such  balance has been  amortized  as
         interest  expense using the  straight-line  method over the life of the
         related  mortgage note  payable.  As of December 31, 1998 the remaining
         balance  related to these  deferred  financing  charges  has been fully
         amortized.

                  In 1998, the partnership  incurred  financing costs of $54,000
         in connection with the note payable from a commercial bank. These costs
         are being  amortized over the life of the loan. As of December 31, 1999
         other assets includes $37,000 relating to these financing costs.

         Use of Estimates:
         -----------------

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

         Environmental Cost:
         -------------------

                   Substantially  all  of  the  Partnership's   facilities  were
         acquired   prior  to  the  time  that  it  was   customary  to  conduct
         environmental  investigations in connection with property acquisitions.
         During 1995, the Partnership completed environmental assessments of its
         properties  to evaluate the  environmental  condition of, and potential
         environmental  liabilities of such properties.  These  assessments were
         performed by an independent environmental consulting firm. Based on the
         assessments,  the  Partnership  expensed  $26,000  in  1995  for  known
         environmental  remediation  requirements.  Although  there  can  be  no
         assurance,   the   Partnership  is  not  aware  of  any   environmental
         contamination of any of its property sites which individually or in the
         aggregate  would be material  to the  Partnership's  overall  business,
         financial condition or results of operations.

         Segment Reporting:
         ------------------

                  Effective  January 1, 1998, the  Partnership  adopted SFAS No.
         131,   "Disclosure   about   Segments  of  an  Enterprise  and  Related
         Information."  SFAS No. 131  established  standards  for the way public
         business  enterprises  report  information about operating  segments in
         annual financial  statements and requires that those enterprises report
         selected  information  about  operating  segments in interim  financial
         reports.   SFAS  No.  131  also   establishes   standards  for  related
         disclosures  about  products and services,  geographic  areas and major
         customers.  The Partnership only has one reportable  segment as defined
         within  SFAS No.  131,  therefore  the  adoption of SFAS No. 131 had no
         effect on the Partnership disclosures.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PARTNERSHIP MATTERS
         (CONTINUED)

         Derivatives:
         ------------

                   In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
         Statement No. 133,  Accounting for Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging
         Activities,  which is required to be adopted in years  beginning  after
         June 15, 2000.  Management does not anticipate that the adoption of the
         new  Statement  will  have a  significant  effect  on  earnings  or the
         financial position of the Partnership.

3.       CASH DISTRIBUTIONS

                  The  Partnership  Agreement  requires that cash  available for
         distribution  (cash flow from all sources less cash  necessary  for any
         obligations  or  capital  improvement  needs) be  distributed  at least
         quarterly.  Cash  distributions  have  been  suspended  since the third
         quarter of 1991 in order to build cash reserves for future debt service
         payments.

4.       PARTNERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT)

                  The general  partners have a 1.1% interest in the Partnership.
         In  addition,   the  general  partners  had  an  8%  interest  in  cash
         distributions  attributable to operations  (exclusive of  distributions
         attributable to sale and financing proceeds) until the limited partners
         recovered all of their  investment.  Thereafter,  the general  partners
         have a 25%  interest  in all  cash  distributions  (including  sale and
         financing proceeds). During 1986, the limited partners recovered all of
         their initial investment.  All subsequent  distributions are being made
         25.83% (including the 1.1% interest) to the general partners and 74.17%
         to the limited partners.

                  Transfers  of equity  are made  periodically  to  conform  the
         partners'   equity  accounts  to  the  provisions  of  the  Partnership
         Agreement.  These  transactions  have  no  effect  on  the  results  of
         operations  or  distributions   to  partners.   The  financing  of  the
         properties  (Note 7) provided the  Partnership  with cash for a special
         distribution  without affecting the Partnership's  taxable income.  The
         majority of the proceeds from the financing, approximately $29,360,000,
         were distributed to the partners in October 1988 resulting in a deficit
         in limited and general partners' equity accounts.

5.       RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

                  The Partnership has a Management Agreement with PSI. Under the
         terms of the agreement, PSI operates the mini-warehouse  facilities for
         a  fee  equal  to 6% of  the  facilities'  monthly  gross  revenue  (as
         defined).

                  The  Management  Agreement  between  the  Partnership  and PSI
         provides that the Management  Agreement may be terminated without cause
         upon 60 days' written notice by either party.

6.       TAXES BASED ON INCOME

                  Taxes based on income are the responsibility of the individual
         partners and,  accordingly,  the Partnership's  financial statements do
         not reflect a provision for such taxes.

                  Unaudited  taxable net income was  $5,408,000,  $3,777,000 and
         $2,550,000  for the  years  ended  December  31,  1999,  1998 and 1997,
         respectively.  The difference between taxable net income and net income
         is primarily related to depreciation expense resulting from differences
         in depreciation methods.

7.       NOTES PAYABLE

                  During  September  1988, the  Partnership  financed all of its
         properties  with a  $30,500,000,  ten-year  nonrecourse  mortgage  note
         secured by the  Partnership's  properties.  The note provides for fixed
         interest of 10.47  percent per annum.  Loan payments for the first year
         consisted of interest only.  Thereafter,  principal is being  amortized
         over a 20 year term with monthly  payments of principal and interest of
         $303,891. The note had a maturity date of October 1, 1998 on which date
         the note required  that all remaining  principal and accrued and unpaid
         interest be paid.

                  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., a general partner of the  Partnership.  The
         loan from Public Storage,  Inc. provided for interest at the fixed rate
         of 7.2% and matured June 30, 1999. The loan called for monthly payments
         of interest only. Principal was payable at any time without penalty.

                  During  September 1998, the Partnership  borrowed  $21,000,000
         from a commercial bank. The loan is unsecured and bears interest at the
         London Interbank  Offering Rate ("LIBOR") plus 0.60% to 1.20% (7.10% at
         December 31, 1999)  depending on the  Partnership's  interest  coverage
         ratio.  The loan  requires  monthly  payments of  interest  and matures
         September 2002. Principal may be paid, in whole or in part, at any time
         without penalty or premium.  The loan proceeds were used to pay off the
         Partnership's note to Public Storage, Inc.

                  Carrying value of the outstanding  debt  approximates its fair
         value.

                  The  Partnership  has  entered  into  an  interest  rate  swap
         agreement  to reduce  the  impact of  changes  in  interest  rates on a
         portion  of  its  floating  rate  debt.  The  agreement,  which  covers
         $11,500,000 of debt through March 2000 and  $7,500,000  from March 2000
         through September 2000,  effectively changes the interest rate exposure
         from  floating rate to a fixed rate of 5.22% plus 0.60% to 1.20% (5.82%
         as of December 31, 1999) based on the  Partnership's  interest coverage
         ratio.  Market  gains and losses on the value of the swap are  deferred
         and included in income over the life of the swap or related  debt.  The
         Partnership  records the  differences  paid or received on the interest
         rate swap in interest  expense as payments are made or received.  As of
         December 31, 1999, the unrealized gain on the interest rate swap, which
         would  be  deferred  if   liquidated   prior  to  its   maturity,   was
         approximately $35,000.

                  Interest  paid  during  1999,  1998  and  1997  was  $938,000,
         $1,911,000 and $2,713,000, respectively.

8.       YEAR 2000 SYSTEM ISSUES

                  The Year 2000 Issue arises because many  computerized  systems
         use two digits  rather  than four to  identify a year.  Date  sensitive
         systems  may  recognize  the  Year  2000 as 1900  or some  other  date,
         resulting  in  errors  when  information   using  Year  2000  dates  is
         processed.  In  addition,  similar  problems  may arise in some systems
         which use certain  dates in 1999 to  represent  something  other than a
         date.  Although the change in date to the Year 2000 has occurred and no
         Year 2000 Issues have been  identified,  it is not possible to conclude
         that all  aspects of the Year 2000  Issue  that may affect the  entity,
         including  those  related  to  customers,  suppliers,  or  other  third
         parties, have been fully resolved.
