The Board of Directors
Public Storage, Inc.


We have audited the  accompanying  combined  summary of  historical  information
relating to operating  revenues and specified expenses - certain properties (the
"Combined  Summary") for the properties  indicated in Note 1 for the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. The Combined Summary is the  responsibility of
the Company's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to express an opinion on the
Combined Summary based on our audits.

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

In our opinion,  the Combined Summary presents fairly the operating revenues and
specified  expenses,  exclusive  of  expenses  described  in  Note  2,  for  the
properties  identified in Note 1 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and
1993,  in conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  and the
applicable  accounting  rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission.

                        RELATED TO OPERATING REVENUES AND
                     SPECIFIED EXPENSES - CERTAIN PROPERTIES

1.   BACKGROUND AND BASIS FOR COMBINATION (continued)
     ------------------------------------------------

     The  properties  are  primarily  mini-warehouse  facilities  which  provide
     self-service storage spaces for lease,  usually on a month-to-month  basis,
     to the general public. Revenues from rentals are recognized when earned and
     expenses are recognized when incurred.

2.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     ---------------------

     The Combined Summary excludes  depreciation of buildings,  improvements and
     equipment,  and interest  expense  which is not  comparable to the proposed
     future operations of the properties under the ownership of the Company.

3.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
     --------------------------

     The Company was the  property  operator of the above  facilities  that have
     been  acquired.  The Company  currently  operates the  facilities  that are
     proposed  to be  acquired  for a fee  which  is  equal  to 6% of the  gross
     revenues of the  mini-warehouse  facilities and 5% of the gross revenues of
     the business park facilities managed.

          pre-existing  ownership  interest and control of the partnership,  PSI
          began  to  consolidate  the  accounts  of  the  partnership  in  PSI's
          financial statements effective January 1, 1996.

     *    During the second  quarter of 1996,  PSI  acquired  all of the limited
          partnership  units of two  affiliated  partnerships  for  $58,955,000,
          consisting of the issuance of PSI's  Mandatory  Convertible  Preferred
          Stock,  Series  CC.  PSI's  acquisition  in one  of  the  partnerships
          increased  its  ownership   interest  in  the   partnership  to  100%,
          accordingly,  the  partnership  was dissolved and the  partnership's 8
          mini-warehouse  facilities  became  wholly-owned by PSI. The remaining
          partnership owns 15 mini-warehouses. As a result of the acquisition of
          partnership  interests combined with PSI's existing ownership interest
          and control in the partnership,  PSI began to consolidate the accounts
          of the  partnership in PSI's financial  statements  effective April 1,
          1996.

     OTHER PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS:

     *    PSI has agreements in principle to acquire 23  mini-warehouses  and 15
          business park facilities from five limited  partnerships which are not
          affiliated  with PSI. PSI  currently  manages on behalf of four of the
          partnerships an aggregate of 16 mini-warehouses  and 15 business parks
          facilities. The acquisition of the real estate assets from each of the
          limited  partnerships is subject to certain conditions,  including the
          approval of the  limited  partners  in each of the  partnerships.  The
          aggregate acquisition cost is approximately $79.9 million.

The pro forma  consolidated  balance sheet at June 30, 1996 has been prepared to
reflect the effects of the transactions described above.  Pro forma  adjustments
have been made to reflect  the  impact to the  historical  consolidated  balance
sheet for those  transactions,  which as of the  balance  sheet  date,  were not
consummated.

The pro forma consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 30,
1996 has been prepared assuming (i) that each of the merger  transactions,  (ii)
the business  combinations with affiliated limited  partnerships,  and (iii) the
acquisition  of real estate  facilities,  were completed at the beginning of the
period.  The pro  forma  consolidated  statement  of income  for the year  ended
December  31,  1995  has  been   prepared   assuming  (i)  each  of  the  merger
transactions,   (ii)  the  business   combinations   with   affiliated   limited
partnerships,  and  (iii)  the  acquisition  of  real  estate  facilities,  were
completed at the beginning of the period.

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

The  accompanying pro forma financial  statements  should be read in conjunction
with PSI's Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 1995 and Form 10-Q for the
period ending June 30, 1996.

1.   REIT Mergers
     ------------

     As of June 30, 1996,  PSI had completed the mergers with PSP IX, PSBP,  and
     SPI and the  effects of such  mergers  are  reflected  in PSI's  historical
     consolidated  balance  sheet at June 30, 1996.  The mergers with PSP X, PSP
     XII, PPY I, PPY II, and PPY III have not been completed and accordingly pro
     forma adjustments have been made to reflect the effects of these mergers on
     PSI's historical balance sheet at June 30, 1996,  assuming such mergers had
     occurred on June 30, 1996.

     PSI will account for the mergers  using the purchase  method of  accounting
     and the total  purchase  cost will be allocated to the acquired net assets;
     first to the tangible and  identifiable  intangible  assets and liabilities
     based upon their respective fair values, and the remainder, if any, will be
     allocated  to excess of purchase  cost over book value of assets  acquired.
     The  aggregate  purchase  cost of  approximately  $263.5  million  has been
     determined to be the sum of (1) the fair market value of real estate assets
     and (2) the estimated  book value of non-real  estate assets as of June 30,
     1996 less (3) liabilities as of June 30, 1996.

     The  proposed  mergers  are  structured  in such a  manner  that  the  cash
     component  of the purchase  price can vary from 0% to 20% of the  aggregate
     purchase price and will depend on the number of  shareholders  of the REITs
     electing cash. For purposes of these pro forma  financial  statements,  the
     maximum cash  elections  of 20% of the  aggregate  purchase  price has been
     assumed.  PSI  believes  that this  assumption  is the most likely based on
     PSI's  experience with similar mergers which have been consummated over the
     past two years. Accordingly, the purchase cost is assumed to consist of the
     payment of cash ($52.7 million,  representing 20%) and the remainder of the
     purchase  price will consist of the  issuance of PSI Common  Stock  ($153.4
     million) and PSI's existing investment in the REITs ($57.4 million).  PSI's
     existing investment  represents the fair value of common stock owned by PSI
     in each of the REITs as of June 30,  1996,  which  upon  completion  of the
     merger will be canceled.

     The following table, and notes thereto,  summarize the pro forma adjustment
     column with respect to the REIT mergers on the preceding page:

2.   Partnership and other acquisitions:
     -----------------------------------

     PSI has  agreements  in  principle  to  acquire 23  mini-warehouses  and 15
     business  park  facilities  from five  limited  partnerships  which are not
     affiliated  with  PSI.  PSI  currently  manages  on  behalf  of four of the
     partnerships an aggregate of 16 mini-warehouses  and 15 business parks. The
     acquisition of the real estate assets from each of the limited partnerships
     is subject to certain  conditions,  including  the  approval of the limited
     partners  in each of the  partnerships.  There is no  assurance  that  such
     transactions  will  be  approved  by the  limited  partners  of each of the
     partnerships  and  therefore  consummated;  however,  PSI believes that the
     approval of the limited partners is probable.
     The aggregate acquisition cost is approximately $79.9 million in cash.

     The  following  pro forma  adjustments  were made to reflect the above
     transactions:

              OF INCOME For the Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 and

1.       PSI's pro forma net income
         --------------------------

         The presentation of the pro forma consolidated income statement for the
         year ended December 31, 1995  commences with pro forma balances  rather
         than  historical  balances.  In 1995,  the Company  completed  numerous
         transactions  including  (i)  issuances  of both  common and  preferred
         stock,  (ii) mergers with  affiliated  REITs,  (iii)  significant  real
         estate acquisitions,  and (iv) a merger with Public Storage Management,
         Inc. In  connection  with the merger with  Public  Storage  Management,
         Inc., the Company filed pro forma financial  statements  which included
         the effects of the above transactions on PSI's historical amounts. Such
         pro  forma  financial  statements  were  updated  in a Form  8-K  dated
         November  16,  1995  and in PSI's  1996  Form  10-K for the year  ended
         December 31, 1995.  PSI's 1996 Form 10-K  included pro forma  operating
         results for the year ending December 31, 1995 reflecting the effects of
         these   transactions   and  serves  as  the  starting   point  for  the
         consolidated  income  statement for the  transactions  described in the
         following footnotes.

         The historical  consolidated  income statement for the six months ended
         June  30,  1996   reflects  the  effects  of  the  1995   transactions.
         Accordingly,  no further pro forma adjustments are necessary to reflect
         the effects of these 1995 transactions.

2.       Rule 3.14 of Regulation S-X
         ---------------------------

         Included  elsewhere  in this Form 8-K is  financial  information  filed
         pursuant to Rule 3.14 of  Regulation  S-X. Such  financial  information
         includes  audited  information  with  respect  to certain  real  estate
         operations  acquired  and to be  acquired  which in the  aggregate  are
         significant to PSI's financial data and  representing a majority of the
         real estate operations acquired and to be acquired by PSI.

3.       REIT Mergers
         ------------

         As describe more fully in Note 1 to the pro forma consolidated  balance
         sheet,  during the first six months of 1996 PSI completed  mergers with
         PSP IX  (completed  on March 26,  1996),  PSBP  (completed on March 26,
         1996)  and SPI  (completed  on June 27,  1996),  each  representing  an
         affiliated  REIT owning  principally  mini-warehouse  facilities  (PSBP
         owned a  single  business  park  facility).  Due to the  timing  of the
         mergers  which  have  been  completed,  PSI's  historical  consolidated
         statement  of income for the year  ending  December  31,  1995 does not
         reflect any impact from these mergers and only  partially  reflects the
         impact in the historical  consolidated  statement of income for the six
         months ended June 30, 1996.

         In  addition  to the mergers  which have been  completed,  PSI and five
         other  affiliated  REITs  (PSP X, PSP XII,  PPY I, PPY II, and PPY III)
         have agreed, subject to certain conditions, to merge. Such mergers have
         not been consummated as of the date of this Form 8-K.

         The  following  pro forma  adjustments  have been made to  reflect  the
         impact of each of the above  mergers as if such mergers were  completed
         as of the beginning of each period:

                mergers,  PSI accounts for its existing  ownership  interests in
                the REITs under the equity method of accounting. Upon completion
                of the mergers, PSI's interest will be canceled and PSI will own
                100% of the equity interest in each REIT. A pro forma adjustment

4.       Partnership and property acquisitions
         -------------------------------------


         Effective  January  1,  1996,  PSI  acquired  approximately  64% of the
         limited  partnership  interest  in an  affiliated  limited  partnership
         owning 28 mini-warehouse facilities. The acquisition cost totaled $41.1
         million in cash;  funded  with the use of net  proceeds  of a preferred
         stock offering in January 1996. As a result of the acquisition combined
         with PSI's existing  ownership interest and control of the partnership,
         PSI began to  consolidate  the  accounts  of the  partnership  in PSI's
         financial statements effective January 1, 1996.

         During the second  quarter of 1996,  PSI  acquired  all of the  limited
         partnership  units of two  affiliated  partnerships  for $5.90 million,
         consisting  of the issuance of PSI's  Mandatory  Convertible  Preferred
         Stock,  Series  CC.  PSI's  acquisition  in  one  of  the  partnerships
         increased  its  ownership   interest  in  the   partnership   to  100%,
         accordingly,  the  partnership  was dissolved and the  partnership's  8
         mini-warehouse  facilities  became  wholly-owned  by PSI. The remaining
         partnership owns 15 mini-warehouses.  As a result of the acquisition of
         partnership  interests  combined with PSI's existing ownership interest
         and control in the  partnership,  PSI began to consolidate the accounts
         of the  partnership in PSI's  financial  statements  effective April 1,
         1996.

         PSI has  agreements in principle to acquire 23  mini-warehouses  and 15
         business park facilities from five limited  partnerships  which are not
         affiliated  with PSI.  PSI  currently  manages on behalf of four of the
         partnerships an aggregate of 16 mini-warehouses  and 15 business parks.
         The  acquisition  of the real  estate  assets  from each of the limited
         partnerships is subject to certain  conditions,  including the approval
         of the limited  partners  in each of the  partnerships.  The  aggregate
         acquisition cost is approximately $80.2 million.

           *    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE:  A pro forma adjustment was made to
                general and administrative expense to reflect the historical amounts
                with respect to the newly consolidated partnerships..............            $25                    $312

                from five limited  partnerships for a total  acquisition cost of
                $80,181.  As of June  30,  1996,  PSI had  paid  $6,381  deposit
                towards this  acquisition  cost  leaving a remaining  balance of
                $73,800  which  PSI  expects  to  fund  with  borrowings  on its
                revolving line of credit.  A pro forma  adjustment has been made
                to reflect  interest expense with respect to the borrowing as if

           *    NET INCOME ALLOCABLE TO PREFERRED STOCK: In connection with the
                acquisition  of  partnership  interests  in  one  of  the  newly
                consolidated  partnerships,  PSI issued its Series CC  preferred
                Stock.   A  pro  forma   adjustment  was  made  to  reflect  the
                distributions  with  respect to the terms of the Series CC for a
                full period......................................................

                   NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS
              OF INCOME For the Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 and

5.       Other Pro Forma Adjustments
         ---------------------------

         PSI manages the real estate facilities owned by the affiliated REIT and
         partnerships  discussed  in  notes 3 and 4 for a fee.  As a  result  of
         mergers  and  acquisitions  as  discussed  in  notes 3 and 4,  PSI will
         continue to operate the facilities,  however, since the facilities will
         be owned by PSI,  PSI will no  longer  collect  fees for  managing  the
         facilities.  Accordingly, the following pro forma adjustments have been
         made to (i)  eliminate  management  fee income  recognized  by PSI with
         respect to the real  estate  facilities  acquired,  (2)  eliminate  the
         corresponding management fee expense included in the historical cost of
         operations of the  facilities  acquired,  and (3) allocate a portion of
         the cost of managing  facilities to the cost of operations with respect
         to the  facilities  acquired.  With  respect  to item (3) such  amounts
         represent cost of managing the facilities  acquire for management  fees
         which will continue to be incurred by PSI, however, will be included in
         the cost of  operations  of the  facilities  as a cost now  incurred to
         generate rental revenues as opposed to management fees.
