ITEM 1.   BUSINESS
          --------
GENERAL
- -------
     Public Storage,  Inc. (the  "Company") is an equity real estate  investment
trust ("REIT")  organized as a corporation  under the laws of California on July
10, 1980. The Company is a fully integrated,  self-administered and self-managed
real estate investment trust ("REIT") that acquires, develops, owns and operates
primarily self-storage facilities. The Company is the largest owner and operator
of  self-storage  space in the United  States  with direct and  indirect  equity
investments in 1,073 self-storage facilities containing approximately 64 million
square feet of net rentable space at December 31, 1997. In addition, the Company
has ownership interests in 63 commercial  properties  containing  commercial and
industrial  space for rent.  At  December  31,  1997,  the  Company  also had an
interest in 49 portable self-storage  facilities that rent storage containers to
customers for storage in a central warehouse.

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

MANAGEMENT
- ----------
     The  Company's  senior  management  team is headed by B. Wayne Hughes (64),
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  Mr. Hughes established the Public Storage
Organization  in 1972 and has  successfully  managed the Company through several
market cycles. The Company's executive management includes:  Harvey Lenkin (61),
President;  John Reyes (37), Senior Vice President and Chief Financial  Officer;
Carl B. Phelps (58),  Senior Vice  President -  Development;  and Marvin M. Lotz
(55), Senior Vice President-Operations.

     The Company's senior management has a significant ownership position in the
Company  with  executive   officers,   directors  and  their   families   owning
approximately  41.4 million shares or 37% of the common stock as of February 27,
1998.

REIT STRUCTURE
- --------------
     The Company has elected to operate as a REIT for income tax purposes.  This
structure  provides the Company with two  principal  benefits  which it believes
enhance shareholder value:

     1)   REIT  status  effectively  eliminates  a  corporate  level  tax on the
          earnings from the Company's  business  operations that are distributed
          to  shareholders. As long as the  Company  meets  certain  tests,  the
          Company's distributed earnings are not subject to "double taxation".

     2)   REIT  qualification  also facilitates the financial  leveraging of the
          Company's business with "permanent capital" i.e.,  perpetual preferred
          stock,  versus debt.  Operating as a REIT,  the Company  obtains a tax
          deduction for the  dividends it pays on preferred  stock much like the
          tax  deductions  generally  available  for interest  payments on debt.
          However, unlike debt, perpetual preferred stock carries no refinancing
          risks.


INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
- --------------------
     The Company's  primary  objective is to maximize  shareholder value through
internal  growth (by  increasing  funds from  operations  and cash available for
distribution)  and  acquisitions  of  additional  real estate  investments.  The
Company  believes  that its access to capital,  geographic  diversification  and
operating  efficiencies  resulting  from its size will  enhance  its  ability to
achieve this objective.

COMPETITION
- -----------
     Competition  in  the  market  areas  in  which  the  Company   operates  is
significant  and  affects  the  occupancy  levels,  rental  rates and  operating
expenses of certain of the Company's facilities. Recent increases in development
of self-storage  facilities is intensifying the competition  among  self-storage
operators in many market areas.
                                       3
<PAGE>

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

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

     In recent years  consolidation has occurred in the fragmented  self-storage
industry. In addition to the Company, there are four other publicly traded REITs
and numerous private regional and local operators  operating in the self-storage
industry.  The Company believes that it is well-positioned to capitalize on this
consolidation  trend due to its  demonstrated  access to  capital  and  national
presence.

BUSINESS ATTRIBUTES
- -------------------
     The Company believes it possesses  several  distinguishing  characteristics
which  enable  it to  compete  effectively  in the  self-storage  industry.  The
Company's   facilities  are  part  of  a   comprehensive   distribution   system
encompassing  standardized  procedures,  integrated  reporting  and  information
networks and centralized  marketing.  The Company believes it possesses the most
experienced facility management staff in the self-storage industry.

     This  distribution  system is designed to maximize  revenue through pricing
and  occupancy.  In addition,  the Company's  subsidiaries  are able to generate
incremental  revenue  from sales of  ancillary  products  such as truck  rental,
locks, boxes and most recently portable  self-storage.  The distribution  system
was significantly  enhanced during 1996 with the introduction and implementation
of the  national  telephone  reservation  center  and  new  facility  management
software. These distinguishing characteristics are as follows:

     NATIONAL  TELEPHONE  RESERVATION  SYSTEM:  Commencing  in early  1996,  the
Company began to implement a national  telephone  reservation system designed to
provide added customer service. Customers calling either the Company's toll-free
telephone  referral  system,  (800)  44-STORE,  or a  self-storage  facility are
directed to the national  reservation  system where a  representative  discusses
with the customer space  requirements,  price and location  preferences and also
informs the customer of other products and services  provided by the Company and
its  subsidiaries.  The  national  telephone  reservation  system  was not fully
operational  for most of the Company's  facilities  until the latter part of the
fourth quarter of 1996.

     The Company  believes that the national  telephone  reservation  system has
enhanced the  Company's  ability to  effectively  market both  self-storage  and
portable self-storage  facilities and is primarily responsible for the Company's
increasing  occupancy  levels  and  realized  rental  rates  experienced  at the
self-storage facilities during 1997 and 1996 compared to the same periods in the
prior year.

     SELF-STORAGE OPTIONS: Historically, the Company offered self-storage spaces
for rent through its traditional self-storage facilities whereby customers would
transport  their goods to the facility and rent a space to store their goods. In
late 1996, the Company  organized Public Storage Pickup and Delivery,  Inc. as a
separate  corporation and a related partnership (the corporation and partnership
are  collectively  referred to as  "PSPUD")  to operate a portable  self-storage
business  that rents  storage  containers  to  customers  for storage in central
warehouses.

     The  concept  of PSPUD  is to  provide  an  alternative  to a  self-storage
facility.  PSPUD will deliver a storage  container(s) to the customer's location
where  the  customer,  at his  convenience,  packs his  goods  into the  storage
container. PSPUD will subsequently return to the customer's location to retrieve
the storage container(s) for storage in a central warehouse.

     RETAIL  CENTERS:  In an effort to attract a wider variety of customers,  to
further  differentiate  the Company  from its  competition  and to generate  new
sources of  revenue,  additional  products  are being  offered by the  Company's
subsidiaries.  These products and services include the sale of locks,  boxes and
packing supplies and the rental of trucks and other moving equipment through the
implementation of a retail expansion program.

     The  strategic  objective  of the retail  expansion  program is to create a
"Retail Store" that will (i) rent spaces for the attached self-storage facility,
(ii)  rent  spaces  for  the  other  Public   Storage   facilities  in  adjacent

                                        4
<PAGE>

neighborhoods,  (iii) sell  locks,  boxes and  packing  materials  and (iv) rent
trucks  and  other  moving  equipment,  all in an  environment  that  is  retail
oriented.  Retail  stores will be  retro-fitted  to some  existing  self-storage
facility  rental  offices  or  "built-in"  as  part  of the  development  of new
self-storage facilities, both in high traffic, high visibility locations.

     ECONOMIES  OF SCALE:  The Company is the largest  provider of  self-storage
space in the industry.  The Company operates more  self-storage  facilities than
the other four publicly traded  self-storage REITs in the self-storage  industry
combined.  As of December  31, 1997,  the Company  operated  1,107  self-storage
facilities  (including  34 managed for third  parties) in 37 states and had over
566,000  spaces  rented.  The size and scope of the  Company's  operations  have
enabled it to achieve a consistently  high level of profit margins and low level
of administrative costs relative to revenues in its industry.

     BRAND NAME  RECOGNITION:  The Company's  operations are conducted under the
"Public  Storage" brand name,  which the Company believes is the most recognized
and established name in the self-storage  industry.  The Company's  self-storage
operations  are  conducted  in 37 states,  giving it  national  recognition  and
prominence.  The Company focuses its operations within those states in the major
metropolitan markets.  This concentration  establishes the Company as one of the
dominant  providers  of storage  space in each  market  that it  operates in and
enables it to use a variety of  promotional  activities,  such as television and
radio  advertising  as well as targeted  discounting  and  referrals,  which are
generally not economically viable to its competitors.

GROWTH STRATEGIES
- -----------------
     The  Company's   growth   strategies   focus  on  improving  the  operating
performance  of its  existing  properties  and on  increasing  its  ownership of
self-storage facilities through additional investments.  Major elements of these
strategies are as follows:

     INCREASE  NET  CASH  FLOW OF  EXISTING  PROPERTIES.  The  Company  seeks to
increase  the  net  cash  flow  generated  by  its  existing  properties  by (i)
increasing  average occupancy rates and (ii) achieving higher levels of realized
monthly rents per occupied  square foot. The Company  believes that its property
management   personnel  and  systems   combined  with  the  national   telephone
reservation system will enhance the Company's ability to meet these goals.

     ACQUIRE PROPERTIES OPERATED AND PARTIALLY OWNED BY THE COMPANY. In addition
to 533 wholly  owned  self-storage  facilities,  the Company also  operates,  on
behalf of approximately 64 ownership entities in which the Company has a partial
equity interest,  540  self-storage  facilities under the "Public Storage" name.
From time to time,  some of these  self-storage  facilities or interests in them
are available  for  purchase,  providing the Company with a source of additional
acquisition opportunities. The Company believes these properties include some of
the better located, better constructed  self-storage facilities in the industry.
Because these properties are partially owned by the Company, it is provided with
reliable  operating  information  prior to acquisition and these  properties are
easily integrated into the Company's portfolio.

     DEVELOP PROPERTIES IN SELECTED MARKETS.  During 1995, the Company commenced
construction  of self-storage  facilities.  Since 1995, the Company has opened a
total  of seven  facilities,  one in 1995,  four in 1996,  and two in 1997.  The
Company is evaluating  the  feasibility  of developing  additional  self-storage
facilities  in selected  markets in which there are few, if any,  facilities  to
acquire at attractive prices and where the scarcity of other undeveloped parcels
of land or other  impediments  to  development  make it  difficult  to construct
additional competing facilities.

     In April  1997,  the Company  formed a joint  venture  partnership  with an
unaffiliated  partner to participate in the  development of  approximately  $220
million of self-storage facilities.  At December 31, 1997, the joint venture had
completed  construction  on seven  self-storage  facilities with a total cost of
approximately  $40.8 million,  and had 17 facilities under  construction with an
aggregate cost incurred through December 31, 1997 of approximately $48.9 million
and total additional estimated cost to complete of $29.3 million. The venture is
funded  solely with equity  capital  consisting  of 30% from the Company and 70%
from the institutional  investor. The Company accounts for its investment in the
joint venture using the equity method.

     ACQUIRE  PROPERTIES  OWNED OR OPERATED BY OTHERS.  The Company believes its
presence  in and  knowledge  of  substantially  all of the major  markets in the
United  States   enhances  its  ability  to  identify   attractive   acquisition
opportunities  and capitalize on the overall  fragmentation  in the self-storage
industry. The Company maintains local market information on rates, occupancy and
competition in each of the markets in which it operates. Of the more than 20,000
self-storage  facilities in the United States, the Company believes that the ten
largest  operators  manage less than 20% of the total space.  During  1997,  the
Company  acquired 4 self-storage  facilities  from  unaffiliated  third parties.
Similar to 1997,  the Company  does not expect  third party  acquisitions  to be
significant during fiscal 1998, unless attractive  investment  opportunities are
available.

                                       5
<PAGE>
     EXPAND THE PORTABLE  SELF-STORAGE  BUSINESS:  During 1997,  PSPUD opened 45
facilities which combined with its previously  opened  facilities  increased the
number of opened  facilities  to 49 as of December  31, 1997.  Since  January 1,
1998,  PSPUD has opened an  additional  five  facilities  in markets where PSPUD
facilities are currently  operating.  All of the facilities are currently leased
from  third  parties.   The  number  of  new  store  openings  in  1998  is  not
determinable. However, future openings will predominantly be in existing markets
in which PSPUD currently  operates.  By opening in existing markets,  PSPUD will
seek to gain benefits from economies of scale. PSPUD is currently developing ten
facilities  and has also  identified  an additional  five sites for  development
which collectively have an aggregate estimated cost of $67.5 million.

     Due to the  start-up  nature of this  business,  PSPUD  incurred  operating
losses  totaling  approximately  $31.7  million and $826,000 for the years ended
December  31, 1997 and 1996,  respectively.  PSPUD  continues to expend funds in
personnel,  training,  equipment,  computer  software and  professional  fees in
organizing this business. Until the facilities are operating profitably, PSPUD's
operations are expected to continue to adversely impact the Company's  earnings.
PSPUD  believes  that its  business is likely to be more  successful  in certain
markets than in others.

     The  rate of  fill-up  varies  from  facility  to  facility.  As  with  the
traditional   self-storage   facilities,   PSPUD   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 assurances as to the level of PSPUD's expansion,  level of gross
rentals, level of move-outs or profitability.

     COMMERCIAL  PROPERTIES:  On January 2, 1997,  the Company  reorganized  its
commercial  property  operations into a separate  private REIT. The private REIT
contributed its assets to a newly created operating  partnership (the "Operating
Partnership")  in  exchange  for a  general  partnership  interest  and  limited
partnership  interests.  During 1997,  the Company and certain  partnerships  in
which the Company has a controlling  interest  contributed  substantially all of
their commercial properties to the Operating Partnership in exchange for limited
partnership interests or to the private REIT in exchange for common stock.

     In 1997, the private REIT and Operating Partnership acquired ten commercial
properties from third parties.  The aggregate purchase price of these facilities
consisted  of cash,  common  stock of the private  REIT and limited  partnership
interests of the Operating Partnership.

     At December 31, 1997, the private REIT and the Operating  Partnership owned
49 properties located in 10 states.  The Operating  Partnership also managed the
commercial  properties  owned by the  Company  and  affiliated  entities.  As of
December 31, 1997, the Company owned approximately 53% of the private REIT which
owned  approximately  19% of  the  Operating  Partnership.  The  balance  of the
Operating  Partnership  is  primarily  owned  by the  Company  and  partnerships
controlled by the Company.

     On January 21, 1998,  the private  REIT  entered  into an agreement  with a
group of unaffiliated  institutional  investors under which it would issue up to
$155,000,000  of common  stock.  $50,000,000  of this common stock was issued on
January  21,  1998,  with the  remainder  to be issued as funds are  required to
purchase commercial properties.

     On March 17, 1998, the private REIT merged into Public  Storage  Properties
XI, Inc., a publicly traded REIT and an affiliate of the Company and the name of
the surviving  corporation was changed to PS Business Parks, Inc.  ("PSBP").  In
connection  with the merger,  PSBP  exchanged 13 self storage  facilities for 11
commercial  properties owned by the Company. Upon completion of the merger, PSBP
and the Operating Partnership owned 64 commercial properties  (approximately 7.3
million square feet), and managed the commercial properties owned by the Company
and  affiliated  partnerships.  Upon  completion of the merger,  the Company and
partnerships  controlled by the Company owned  approximately 58% of PSBP and the
Operating Partnership on a combined basis.

     Due to the  Company's  controlling  ownership  interest  in  PSBP  and  the
Operating Partnership,  the Company included the operations of these entities in
the  Company's  consolidated  financial  statements  as of  December  31,  1997.
However,  as a result of the March 17,  1998 merger and the  agreement  to issue
additional  shares of common  stock to the group of  unaffiliated  institutional
investors,  the  Company  believes  that its  reduced  ownership  will no longer
warrant the consolidation of these entities effective March 31, 1998.

     The  Company  believes  that  the   concentration  of  all  the  commercial
properties and the property  manager into one entity will create a vehicle which
should facilitate future growth in this segment of the real estate industry. The
Company will participate in the entity's growth through the Company's  ownership
interest in PSBP and the Operating Partnership.

FINANCING OF THE COMPANY'S GROWTH STRATEGIES
- --------------------------------------------

     RETAINED OPERATING CASH FLOW: The Company seeks to retain significant funds
(after  funding its  distributions  and  capital  improvements)  for  additional
investments  and debt  reduction.  During the year ended  December 31, 1997, the
Company distributed 44% of its funds from operations ("FFO") allocable to common
stock and retained  $78.5  million  ($110.2  million after adding back the $31.7
million in losses from PSPUD) which was available for principal payments on debt
and  reinvestment  into real estate  assets.  See  "Management's  Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Liquidity  and Capital
Resources."

     REVOLVING  LINE  OF  CREDIT:  The  Company  currently  has a  $150  million
unsecured  credit facility with a bank group led by Wells Fargo Bank,  which the
Company uses as a temporary source of acquisition  financing.  The Company seeks
to  ultimately  finance all  acquisitions  with  permanent  capital to eliminate
refinancing  and  interest  rate  risk.  As of March  27,  1998,  there  were no
borrowings on this credit facility.

     ACCESS  TO  ACQUISITION  CAPITAL:  The  Company  believes  that its  strong
financial  position  enables it to access  capital to finance its growth.  Since
January  1,  1995,  the  Company  has  issued  approximately  $767.3  million of
preferred  and $1.4 billion of common  equity to finance its  acquisitions.  The
Company's debt as a percentage of shareholders'  equity was 3.6% at December 31,
1997, thereby significantly  reducing refinancing risks. The Company has created
leverage in its  capital  structure  for the benefit of its common  shareholders
through the use of preferred  stock.  The Company  targets a 40% leverage ratio;
debt and preferred stock as a percentage of total shareholders' equity.

     DEVELOPMENT  JOINT  VENTURE:  In April  1997,  the  Company  formed a joint
venture  partnership  with  an  unaffiliated   partner  to  participate  in  the
development  of  approximately  $220  million  of  self-storage  facilities.  At
December  31,  1997,  the joint  venture  had  completed  construction  on seven
self-storage  facilities with a total cost of approximately  $40.8 million,  and
had 17 facilities under  construction with an aggregate cost incurred to date of
approximately  $48.9 million and total additional  estimated cost to complete of
$29.3 million.  The venture is funded solely with equity  capital  consisting of
30%  from the  Company  and 70% from the  institutional  investor.  The  Company
accounts for its investment in the joint venture using the equity method.

     COMMERCIAL  PROPERTIES:   As  indicated  above,  in  January  1998,  PSBP's
predecessor  entered  into an  agreement  to issue up to $155  million of common
stock to a group of  institutional  investors.  In January 1998,  $50 million of
this common  stock was issued.  The  remaining  $105  million is to be issued as
funds are required to purchase commercial properties.

INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE FACILITIES
- -------------------------------------
     The  Company  has  invested   directly  and   indirectly  in   self-storage
facilities,  and to a much  smaller  extent in  existing  commercial  properties
containing  commercial and industrial rental space,  principally through (i) the
acquisition  of  wholly-owned  properties,  (ii) the  acquisition of limited and
general  partnership  interests in real estate  partnerships owning self-storage
facilities  and/or  commercial  properties  and (iii) the  acquisition of common
stock  of  other  REITs  owning   self-storage   facilities   and/or  commercial
properties.  The following  table outlines the Company's  ownership  interest in
self-storage facilities and commercial properties:

     WHOLLY-OWNED  FACILITIES:  As of December 31, 1997, the Company had a total
of  545  wholly-owned  real  estate  facilities  compared  to  450  wholly-owned
facilities  at December  31, 1996.  The  increase in the number of  wholly-owned
facilities was primarily due to the merger of affiliated REITs into the Company.
(See Note 3 to the Company's consolidated financial statements.)

     JOINT VENTURE AND OTHER FACILITIES: From 1983 through 1987, the Company and
a series of eight public limited  partnerships (the "PSP Partnerships")  jointly
invested  in  an  aggregate  of  211  real  estate  facilities  through  general
partnerships (the "Joint Ventures").  At December 31, 1996, the PSP Partnerships
had 29 real estate facilities which were  wholly-owned by the  partnerships.  In
January 1997,  the Joint Ventures  contributed 11 commercial  facilities and the
PSP   Partnerships   contributed  3  commercial   facilities  to  the  Operating
Partnership.  At December 31, 1997 the Joint  Ventures and the PSP  Partnerships
had a total of 200 and 26 self-storage facilities, respectively. The Company has
an indirect  interest in these facilities  through its ownership of both limited
and general partnership interests in each of the PSP Partnerships.

     The Company,  through its direct ownership  interests in the Joint Ventures
combined with its limited and general  partnership  interests owns a controlling
interest in each of the PSP Partnerships.  Accordingly, the Company consolidates
the assets,  liabilities,  and results of operations of these eight partnerships
in the Company's financial statements.

     At December 31, 1997, the private REIT and the Operating  Partnership owned
49 properties located in 10 states.  The Operating  Partnership also managed the
commercial  properties  owned by the  Company  and  affiliated  entities.  As of
December 31, 1997, the Company owned approximately 53% of the private REIT which
owned  approximately  19% of  the  Operating  Partnership.  The  balance  of the
Operating  Partnership  is  primarily  owned  by the  Company  and  partnerships
controlled by the Company.

     The Company also has significant ownership interests in and control both as
limited partner and general partner of 25 other limited  partnerships  which own
in  aggregate  135  self-storage  facilities.  The  accounts of these 25 limited
partnerships  are  also  included  in  the  Company's   consolidated   financial
statements.

UNCONSOLIDATED REAL ESTATE ENTITIES
- -----------------------------------
     At December 31,  1997,  the Company had  ownership  interests in 29 limited
partnerships   (consisting  of  5  institutional   partnerships  that  owned  59
properties, 14 partnerships with foreign investors that owned 36 properties, and
ten other  partnerships  that owned 64  properties)  and two REITs that owned 22
properties (collectively the "Unconsolidated Entities"). The Company's ownership
interest  in these  entities  is less than  50%.  Due to the  Company's  limited
ownership  interest  and  control  of  these  entities,  the  Company  does  not
consolidate the accounts of these entities for financial  reporting purposes and
accounts for such investments using the equity method.

     INSTITUTIONAL  PARTNERSHIPS:  Under  the  partnership  agreements  for  the
institutional partnerships, the general partners are generally entitled to 8% of
"cash flow from  operations"  (as defined in the partnership  agreements)  until
distributions  to the  limited  partners  from all  sources  equal 100% of their
investment  ("cross-over");  after cross-over, the general partners are entitled
to 25% of cash flow from  operations  and of sale and  financing  proceeds.  The
partnership  agreements  define cash flow from operations as cash funds provided
from operations of the partnerships,  without  deduction for  depreciation,  but
after  deducting  cash funds used to pay or  establish  a reserve  for all other
expenses,  debt payments,  capital  improvements and  replacements.  The general
partners are also entitled to 1% of the limited partnership  interest in respect
of their capital investment.

     PARTNERSHIPS WITH FOREIGN INVESTORS:  Under the partnership  agreements for
the  partnerships  with foreign  investors,  the general  partners are generally
entitled to 8% of "cash flow from operations" until distributions to the limited
partners  equal  105%  to  115%  of  their  investment   ("cross-over");   after
cross-over,  the  general  partners  are  entitled  to 28%  of  cash  flow  from
operations  (including  3% to a third  general  partner  unaffiliated  with  the
Company).  Limited  partners  generally  receive  all of the sale and  financing
proceeds  until  such  proceeds  from a  property  equal  105%  to  115%  of the
investment  in the  property;  the general  partners are entitled to receive the
next sale or financing  proceeds from that property up to an amount equal to 40%
of the sale or financing  proceeds  previously  distributed to limited  partners
from that property;  and any additional sale or financing  proceeds generated by
the same  property are  distributed  72% to the limited  partners and 28% to the
general  partners  (including  3% to the third  general  partner).  The  general
partners are also entitled to 1% of the limited partnership  interest in respect
of their capital investment.

     DEVELOPMENT  JOINT  VENTURE:  In April  1997,  the  Company  formed a joint
venture  partnership  with  an  unaffiliated   partner  to  participate  in  the
development  of  approximately  $220  million of  self-storage  facilities.  The
venture is funded solely with equity capital  consisting of 30% from the Company
and 70% from the institutional investor.

     OTHER  PARTNERSHIPS:  The  sharing  arrangements  between  the  general and
limited  partners in five of the six other  partnerships  are the same as in the
institutional  partnerships.  In the sixth  partnership  (PS Carolinas  Balanced
Fund), the general  partners are entitled to a partnership  management fee of 8%
of cash flow from  operations  until  payments to investors  (consisting of both
limited  partners and  noteholders)  equal 100% of their  collective  investment
("cross-over");  after  cross-over,  the  general  partners  are  entitled  to a
partnership  management fee of 8% of sale proceeds.  After principal and accrued
interest has been paid to the noteholders,  the general partners are entitled to
an additional 17% of cash flow from operations and sales proceeds.

     REIT  INVESTMENTS:  The  Company  owns  shares of common  stock in PSBP and
Public Storage  Properties XX, Inc. (See "Proposed  Merger with Affiliated REIT"
below).

PROHIBITED INVESTMENTS AND ACTIVITIES
- -------------------------------------
     The Company's  Bylaws  prohibit the Company from  purchasing  properties in
which the  Company's  officers or directors  have an  interest,  or from selling
properties to such persons,  unless the  transactions are approved by a majority
of the independent directors and are fair to the Company based on an independent
appraisal.  This Bylaw  provision may be changed only upon a vote of the holders
of a majority of the shares of (i) Common Stock and Convertible Preferred Stock,
voting  together  and (ii) each of the  series of Senior  Preferred  Stock.  See
"Limitations on Debt" for other restrictions in the Bylaws.

BORROWINGS
- ----------
     The Company has an unsecured $150 million  credit  facility with a group of
commercial  banks which  expires on July 31, 2001.  The  expiration  date may be
extended by one year on each  anniversary of the credit  agreement.  Interest on
outstanding  borrowings on the credit facility is payable monthly. At the option
of the Company,  the rate of interest  charged on borrowings is equal to (i) the
prime  rate,  or (ii) a rate  ranging  from the London  Interbank  Offered  Rate
("LIBOR")  plus 0.40% to LIBOR plus 1.10%  depending on the  Company's  coverage
ratios,  as  defined.  In  addition,  the Company is required to pay a quarterly
commitment  fee of 0.250%  (per  annum) of the unused  portion of the  revolving
credit  facility.  The credit  facility also  includes a bid feature,  for up to
$50 million,  which allows  the Company, at  its option, to request the group of
banks to propose the  interest  rate they would  charge on specific  borrowings.
However,  in no case may the  interest  rate  bid be  greater  than  the  amount
provided by the credit agreement.

     Under  covenants  of the credit  facility,  the  Company is required to (i)
maintain a balance sheet  leverage ratio (as defined) of less than 0.40 to 1.00,
(ii) maintain net income of not less than $1.00 for each fiscal  quarter,  (iii)
maintain certain cash flow and interest coverage ratios (as defined) of not less
than 1.0 to 1.0 and 5.0 to 1.0,  respectively  and (iv) maintain a minimum total
shareholders'  equity (as defined).  In addition,  the Company is limited in its
ability to incur  additional  borrowings  (the  Company is  required to maintain
unencumbered  assets with an aggregate book value equal to or greater than three
times the  Company's  unsecured  recourse  debt) or sell  assets.  There were no
borrowings outstanding under the credit facility at March 27, 1997.

     As of December 31, 1997, the Company had outstanding  note payable balances
of  approximately  $96.6  million  and   $7  million  outstanding  on the credit
facility,  See  Notes 6 and 7 to the  consolidated  financial  statements  for a
summary of the Company's borrowings at December 31, 1997.

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

LIMITATIONS ON DEBT
- -------------------
     The Bylaws  provide  that the Board of  Directors  shall not  authorize  or
permit the  incurrence  of any  obligation  by the Company which would cause the
Company's  "Asset  Coverage" of its unsecured  indebtedness  to become less than
300%.  Asset  Coverage  is defined in the  Bylaws as the ratio  (expressed  as a
percentage) by which the value of the total assets (as defined in the Bylaws) of
the Company less the Company's  liabilities  (except  liabilities  for unsecured
borrowings)  bears to the aggregate  amount of all  unsecured  borrowings of the
Company.  This Bylaw provision may be changed only upon a vote of the holders of
a majority of the shares of (i) Common  Stock and  Convertible  Preferred  Stock
voting together and (ii) each of the series of Senior Preferred Stock.

                                       9
<PAGE>
     The Company's Bylaws prohibit the Company from issuing debt securities in a
public  offering  unless the Company's "cash flow" (which for this purpose means
net income,  exclusive of extraordinary  items, plus  depreciation) for the most
recent 12 months for which financial statements are available,  adjusted to give
effect to the  anticipated  use of the proceeds  from the proposed  sale of debt
securities,  would be  sufficient to pay the interest on such  securities.  This
Bylaw  provision may be changed only upon a vote of the holders of a majority of
the shares of (i) Common Stock and  Convertible  Preferred Stock voting together
and (ii) each of the series of Senior Preferred Stock.

     Without  the  consent of the holders of a majority of each of the series of
Senior  Preferred  Stock, the Company will not take any action that would result
in a ratio of "Debt" to  "Assets"  (the "Debt  Ratio")  in excess of 50%.  As of
December  31,  1997,  the Debt Ratio was  approximately  3.1%.  "Debt" means the
liabilities (other than "accrued and other liabilities" and "minority interest")
that should, in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  be
reflected  on  the  Company's   consolidated   balance  sheet  at  the  time  of
determination.  "Assets"  means the  Company's  total  assets  that  should,  in
accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles,  be reflected on the
Company's consolidated balance sheet at the time of determination.

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

OTHER BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
- -------------------------
     A  corporation  owned by Hughes  and  members of his  family  (the  "Hughes
Family")  reinsures  policies  against  losses to goods stored by tenants in the
Company's self-storage facilities. The Company believes that the availability of
insurance  reduces the potential  liability of the Company to tenants for losses
to their goods from theft or destruction.  The corporation receives the premiums
and bears the risks associated with the re-insurance.

     A subsidiary of the Company,  sells locks and boxes and rents trucks to the
general  public and tenants to be used in securing their spaces and moving their
goods.  The Company  believes that the  availability of locks and boxes for sale
and the  rental of trucks  promotes  the rental of  spaces.  The  balance of the
equity of this subsidiary, representing all of the voting stock, is owned by the
Hughes Family.

EMPLOYEES
- ---------
     There are approximately  3,800 persons who render services on behalf of the
Company, primarily personnel engaged in property operation, substantially all of
whom are employed by a clearing company that provides certain administrative and
cost-sharing  services to the Company and other owners of properties operated by
the Company.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX
- ------------------
     The  Company  believes  that it has  operated,  and  intends to continue to
operate,  in such a manner as to qualify as a REIT  under the  Internal  Revenue
Code of  1986,  but no  assurance  can be  given  that it will at all  times  so
qualify.  To the extent that the Company continues to qualify as a REIT, it will
not be taxed,  with certain  limited  exceptions,  on the taxable income that is
distributed to its shareholders.

 INSURANCE
 ---------
     The Company believes that its properties are adequately insured. Facilities
operated by the  Company  have  historically  carried  comprehensive  insurance,
including  fire,  earthquake,  liability and extended  coverage from  nationally
recognized carriers.

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000
- -------------------
     The Company has completed an initial  assessment  of its computer  systems.
The majority of the computer  programs were  installed or upgraded over the past
few years  and are Year 2000  compliant.  Some of the  older  computer  programs
utilized by the Company  were  written  without  regard for Year 2000 issues and
could cause a system  failure or  miscalculations  with  possible  disruption of
operations. Each of these computer programs and systems has been evaluated to be
upgraded or replaced as part of the Company's Year 2000 project.

     The cost of the Year 2000 project  will be  allocated to all entities  that
use the Company  computer  systems.  The cost of the Year 2000 project  which is
expected to be allocated to the Company is approximately $2.8 million.  The cost
of the new software will be capitalized and the cost of the software maintenance
will be expensed as incurred.
                                       10
<PAGE>

     The project is expected to be completed by March 31, 1999 which is prior to
any  anticipated  impact on operating  systems.  The Company  believes that with
modifications to existing software and, in some instances, the conversion to new
software,  the Year 2000 issue will not pose significant  operational  problems.
However,  if such  modifications are not made, or are not completed timely,  the
Year 2000 issue could have a material impact on the operations of the Company.

     The costs of the project and the date on which the Company believes it will
complete the Year 2000  modifications  are based on management's best estimates,
which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events. There can be
no guarantee  that these  estimates  will be achieved and actual  results  could
differ materially from those anticipated.

PROPOSED MERGER WITH AFFILIATED REIT
- ------------------------------------
     In February 1998,  Public Storage  Properties  XX, Inc.  ("Properties  20")
agreed,  subject to  certain  conditions,  to merge  with and into the  Company.
Properties  20 is an  affiliated  publicly  traded  equity  REIT.  The merger is
conditioned  on approval by the  shareholders  of Properties 20. At December 31,
1997, the Company owned  approximately 24% of Properties 20. The Company expects
that,  if  approved  by the  Properties  20  shareholders,  the merger  would be
completed in the second quarter of 1998.

     The  estimated  value of the  Properties 20 merger is  approximately  $23.3
million.  Properties 20 has 860,734 outstanding shares of common stock series A,
90,859  outstanding  shares of common  stock  series B, and 257,432  outstanding
shares of common stock series C. The Company owns 13,700  shares of common stock
series A, 72,687  shares of common stock series B, and 205,946  shares of common
stock series C of Properties 20. Upon completion of the merger, each outstanding
share of common stock series A of  Properties  20 (other than shares held by the

20, into either  shares of the  Company's  common  stock with a market  value of
$22.57 or, with respect to up to 20% of the Properties 20 common stock series A,
$22.57 in cash.  In addition,  each share of Properties 20 series B and C (other
than shares held by the  Company)  will be  converted  into the right to receive
$10.90  in  the  Company's  common  stock,  plus  the  estimated  required  REIT
distributions  attributable  to Properties 20 common stock series B of $0.93 per
share.  The shares of  Properties  20 common stock series A, B and C held by the
Company  will be  canceled  in the  merger.  Properties  20 owns 7  self-storage
facilities (approximately 402,000 square feet) located in five states.

</TABLE>

     The  Company's  facilities  are  generally  operated to maximize  cash flow
through the regular review and, when warranted by market conditions,  adjustment
of scheduled  rents.  For the year ended December 31, 1997, the weighted average
occupancy  level and the  weighted  average  annual  realized  rent per rentable
square foot for the Company's  self-storage  facilities were approximately 91.2%
and $9.24,  respectively,  and for the commercial properties approximately 95.3%
and $9.12, respectively.

     None of the Company's  facilities involve 1% or more of the Company's total
assets,  gross  revenues  or net  income,  other  than one  commercial  property
purchased in 1997 which comprises 1.6% of total assets.

     SELF-STORAGE FACILITIES:  Self-storage facilities,  which comprise the vast
majority  of the  Company's  investments  (approximately  89%  based  on  rental
income),  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
self-storage  facilities  also  include  rentable  uncovered  parking  areas for
vehicle storage.  Leases for self-storage facilities space may be on a long-term
or short-term  basis,  although  typically spaces are rented on a month-to-month
basis.  Rental rates vary according to the location of the property and the size
of the storage space. The Company's  self-storage  facilities are operated under
the "Public Storage" name.

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

     Self-storage facilities in which the Company 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.

                                       12
<PAGE>

     The Company experiences minor seasonal fluctuations in the occupancy levels
of  self-storage  facilities  with  occupancies  generally  higher in the summer
months than in the winter months.  The Company believes that these  fluctuations
result in part from increased moving activity during the summer.

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

     Since the Company's investments are primarily self-storage facilities,  the
ability of the Company to preserve its investments and achieve its objectives is
dependent in large part upon success in this field. Historically,  the Company's
self-storage   facility   interests  have  generally  shown  a  high  degree  of
consistency in generating cash flows, despite changing economic conditions.  The
Company   believes   that   its   self-storage    facilities   have   attractive
characteristics  consisting  of high  profit  margins,  high  average  occupancy
levels,  a broad tenant base and low levels of capital  expenditures to maintain
their condition and appearance.

     COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES:  The Company may invest in all types of real estate.
Most of the Company's  non-self-storage  facilities investments are interests in
business parks and low-rise  office  buildings,  primarily  through PSBP and the
Operating  Partnership.  A commercial  property may include both  industrial and
office  space.  Industrial  space may be used for,  among  other  things,  light
manufacturing and assembly,  storage and warehousing,  distribution and research
and development  activities.  The Company believes that most of the office space
is occupied by tenants who are also  renting  industrial  space.  The  remaining
office space is used for general office purposes. A commercial property may also
include  facilities  for  commercial  uses  such  as  banks,   travel  agencies,
restaurants,  office supply  shops,  professionals  or other  tenants  providing
services to the public.  The amount of retail space in a commercial  property is
not expected to be significant.


     PORTABLE SELF-STORAGE  FACILITIES:  At December 31, 1997, PSPUD operated 49
facilities;  17 in  California,  8 in Texas,  4 in Florida,  3 in Georgia,  3 in
Illinois and the remaining 14 facilities are located in 11 other states.  Of the
49 facilities  opened as of December 31, 1997, 32 facilities  had been opened in
excess of seven months. The capacity of these 32 facilities ranges from 1,600 to
3,500 containers (averaging 2,140), and as of December 31, 1997 these facilities
had  occupancy  levels  ranging  from  17%  to  97%  (averaging  43%).  As  with
mini-warehouses,   PSPUD  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.  Currently all of
the PSPUD  facilities  are  operated  in  buildings  which are leased from third
parties.

     ENVIRONMENTAL  MATTERS:  The  Company's  current  practice  is  to  conduct
environmental  investigations  in connection  with property  acquisitions.  As a
result of  environmental  investigations  of its properties,  which commenced in
1995, the Company recorded an amount which, in management's best estimate,  will
be  sufficient  to  satisfy   anticipated  costs  of  known   investigation  and
remediation  requirements.  At December 31, 1995, the Company accrued $2,741,000
for  estimated  environmental  remediation  costs.  In  addition,  during  1995,
entities in which the Company  accounts  for on the equity  method also  accrued
amounts for estimated environment remediation costs of which the Company's share
is approximately $510,000. The Company believes that amounts accrued in 1995 are
still sufficient to satisfy anticipated costs and therefore no additional amount
has been accrued in 1997.

ITEM 3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
          -----------------
     Anderson v. Public  Storage,  Inc.,  San  Francisco  Superior  Court 
     ---------------------------------- 
     (filed September 19, 1997)

     Grant v. Public  Storage,  Inc., San Diego Superior Court 
     --------------------------------
     (filed October 6, 1997)

     Wren v. Public Storage,  Inc., San Francisco  Superior Court 
     ------------------------------
     (filed October 16, 1997)

     Each of the  plaintiffs  in these cases is suing the Company on behalf of a
purported class of California tenants who rented storage spaces from the Company
and  contends  that the  Company's  fees  for late  payments  under  its  rental
agreements for storage space constitutes  unlawful  "penalties" under California
law. None of the plaintiffs has assigned any dollar amount to the claims.

     The lower court has  dismissed  one of the cases and the  plaintiff in that
case is in the process of appealing that dismissal.  The plaintiffs in the other
two cases have  voluntarily  dismissed  their cases,  reserving  their rights to
refile their cases.  The Company is continuing to vigorously  contest the claims
in all three cases.

     There are no other material  proceedings pending against the Company or any
of its subsidiaries.

          As of March 2, 1998, there were approximately 23,716 holders of record

     b. Class B Common Stock

          The Class B Common Stock issued in connection with the PSMI Merger (as
     defined under Item 7 below) has the following characteristics:

          *    The  Class  B  Common   Stock   will  (i)  not   participate   in
               distributions  until the later to occur of funds from  operations
               ("FFO")  per Common  Share as defined  below,  aggregating  $1.80
               during  any  period of four  consecutive  calendar  quarters,  or
               January  1,  2000,  thereafter  the  Class B  Common  Stock  will
               participate   in    distributions    (other   than    liquidating
               distributions), at the rate of 97% of the per share distributions
               on the Common Stock, provided that cumulative distributions of at
               least  $.22 per  quarter  per share  have been paid on the Common
               Stock, (ii) not participate in liquidating  distributions,  (iii)
               not  be  entitled  to  vote  (except  as  expressly  required  by
               California law) and (iv) automatically convert into Common Stock,
               on a share  for share  basis,  upon the later to occur of FFO per
               Common  Share   aggregating  $3.00  during  any  period  of  four
               consecutive calendar quarters or January 1, 2003.

          For these purposes:

          1.   FFO, means net income (loss)  (computed in accordance  with GAAP)
               before  (I) gain  (loss) on early  extinguishment  of debt,  (ii)
               minority  interest in income and (iii) gain (loss) on disposition
               of real estate,  adjusted as follows:  (i) plus  depreciation and
               amortization   (including   the  Company's   pro-rata   share  of
               depreciation and amortization of unconsolidated  equity interests
               and amortization of assets acquired in the PSMI Merger, including
               property management  agreements and goodwill),  and (ii) less FFO
               attributable  to  minority   interest.   FFO  is  a  supplemental
               performance  measure for equity  REITs as defined by the National
               Association of Real Estate Investment  Trusts,  Inc.  ("NAREIT").

                                       15
<PAGE>

               The NAREIT definition does not specifically address the treatment
               of minority interest in the determination of FFO or the treatment
               of  the  amortization  of  property  management   agreements  and
               goodwill.  In the case of the  Company,  FFO  represents  amounts
               attributable  to  its   shareholders   after  deducting   amounts
               attributable to the minority  interests and before deductions for
               the amortization of property management  agreements and goodwill.
               FFO is presented  because many industry  analysts consider FFO to
               be one measure of the  performance  of the Company and it is used
               in establishing  the terms of the Class B Common Stock.  FFO does
               not take into consideration scheduled principal payments on debt,
               capital improvements,  distributions and other obligations of the
               Company.  Accordingly,  FFO is not a substitute for the Company's
               cash flow or net income as a measure of the  Company's  liquidity
               or operating performance or ability to pay distributions.

          2.   FFO per Common  Share means FFO less  preferred  stock  dividends
               (other than dividends on convertible  preferred stock) divided by
               the outstanding  weighted average shares of Common Stock assuming
               conversion  of all  outstanding  convertible  securities  and the
               Class B Common Stock.

                  For these purposes, FFO per share of Common Stock (as defined)
               was $1.85 for the year ended December 31, 1997.

                  The  Company   has  paid   quarterly   distributions   to  its
               shareholders  since  1981,  its first  full  year of  operations.
               Distributions paid per share of Common Stock for 1997 amounted to
               $0.88.

                  Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive  distributions
               when and if declared by the  Company's  Board of Directors out of
               any funds  legally  available  for that  purpose.  The Company is
               required to distribute  at least 95% of its net taxable  ordinary
               income prior to the filing of the  Company's  tax return and 85%,
               subject to certain  adjustments,  during the  calendar  year,  to
               maintain its REIT status for federal  income tax purposes.  It is
               management's intention to pay distributions of not less than this
               required amount.

                  For Federal tax purposes,  distributions  to shareholders  are
               treated as ordinary income, capital gains, return of capital or a
               combination  thereof.  Distributions to common  shareholders were
               $0.88, $0.88 and $0.88 for 1997, 1996 and 1995,  respectively and
               in each case represents ordinary income.


     c. Equity Stock

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

                  In June 1997,  the Company  contributed  $22,500,000  (225,000
               shares)  of its  Equity  Stock,  Series A  ("Equity  Stock") to a
               partnership  in which the  Company is the general  partner.  As a
               result of this  contribution,  the Company obtained a controlling
               interest in the Partnership and began to consolidate the accounts
               of the  Partnership.  The  Equity  Stock  ranks on a parity  with
               Common  Stock  and  junior  to the  Company's  Cumulative  Senior
               Preferred Stock and  Convertible  Preferred Stock with respect to
               general  preference  rights and has a  liquidation  amount of ten
               times the  amount  paid to each  Common  Share up to a maximum of
               $100 per share.  Quarterly  distributions per share on the Equity
               Stock are equal to the lesser of (i) 10 times the amount paid per
               Common Stock or (ii) $2.20.

     unconsolidated  equity interests and amortization of assets acquired in the
     PSMI Merger,  including property management  agreements and excess purchase
     cost over net assets acquired),  and (ii) less FFO attributable to minority
     interest.  FFO is a  supplemental  performance  measure for equity REITs as
     defined by the National  Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc.
     ("NAREIT").  The  NAREIT  definition  does  not  specifically  address  the
     treatment of minority interest in the determination of FFO or the treatment
     of the amortization of property  management  agreements and excess purchase
     cost over net assets acquired.  In the case of the Company,  FFO represents
     amounts   attributable  to  its   shareholders   after  deducting   amounts
     attributable  to the  minority  interests  and  before  deductions  for the
     amortization  of property  management  agreements and excess  purchase cost
     over net assets acquired.  FFO is presented  because many analysts consider
     FFO to be one measure of the  performance  of the Company and it is used in
     certain aspects of the terms of the Class B Common Stock. FFO does not take
     into   consideration   scheduled   principal   payments  on  debt,  capital
     improvements   distributions   and  other   obligations   of  the  Company.
     Accordingly,  FFO is not a substitute  for the  Company's  cash flow or net
     income as a measure of the Company's liquidity or operating  performance or
     ability to pay distributions.

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          ---------------------------------------------------------------
     The following  discussion and analysis  should be read in conjunction  with
the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

     OVERVIEW:  The self-storage  industry is highly  fragmented and is composed
predominantly  of numerous  local and  regional  operators.  Competition  in the
markets in which the Company  operates is  significant  and is  increasing  from
additional  development  of  self-storage  facilities  in many markets which may
negatively   impact   occupancy   levels  and  rental  rates  at  the  Company's
self-storage  facilities.  However,  the Company  believes it possesses  several
distinguishing characteristics which enable it to compete effectively with other
owners and operators.

     The Company  believes it is the largest owner and operator of  self-storage
facilities in the United States with ownership  interests in 1,073  self-storage
facilities containing  approximately 64 million net rentable square feet. All of
the Company's  facilities  are operated  under the "Public  Storage" brand name,
which the Company  believes is the most recognized and  established  name in the
self-storage  industry.  Located in the major metropolitan markets of 37 states,
the Company's  self-storage  facilities are  geographically  diverse,  giving it
national recognition and prominence.  This concentration establishes the Company
as one of the  dominant  providers  of  storage  space  in each  market  that it
operates in and enables it to use a variety of promotional  activities,  such as
television and radio advertising as well as targeted  discounting and referrals,
which are generally not economically  viable for its  competitors.  In addition,
the Company  believes that  geographic  diversity of the  portfolio  reduces the
impact from regional economic downturns and provides a greater degree of revenue
stability.

     In  an  effort  to  attract  a  wider  variety  of  customers,  to  further
differentiate  the Company from its  competition  and to generate new sources of
revenue,  additional  products  are  being  offered  to  enhance  the  Company's
self-storage business. In late 1996, the Company organized Public Storage Pickup
and Delivery,  Inc. as a separate  corporation  and a related  partnership  (the
corporation and partnership are collectively  referred to as "PSPUD") to operate
a portable  self-storage business that rents storage containers to customers for
storage in central warehouses. The concept of PSPUD is to provide an alternative
to a traditional  self-storage  facility wherein customers transport their goods
to the  facility  and rent a space to store their  goods.  PSPUD will  deliver a
storage  container(s)  to the  customer's  location  where the customer,  at his
convenience, packs his goods into the storage container. PSPUD will subsequently
return to the  customer's  location to retrieve  the  storage  container(s)  for
storage in a central warehouse. PSPUD is not intended to replace the traditional
self-storage  facility  but is designed  to  complement  and provide  additional
services to the customers not offered at the self-storage facilities.

     During 1997,  PSPUD opened 45 facilities,  which  combined with  facilities
opened as of the beginning of the year brought the total number of facilities to
49. The  facilities are located in 24 greater  metropolitan  areas in 16 states.
Averaging  approximately  2,000  containers  per facility,  a facility  provides
approximately  70,000 net rentable  square feet which is slightly  larger than a
average self-storage  facility which contains  approximately 65,000 net rentable
square feet. Currently, all of the PSPUD facilities operate in facilities leased
from third parties which has provided the Company with an efficient and flexible
means of expanding rapidly into markets.

     At December 31, 1997, the PSPUD facilities in aggregate had 36,000 occupied
containers,  representing  approximately  1,256,000  square  feet.  The  Company
believes, that to some extent, the portable self-storage business may negatively
impact  the  occupancy  levels of  self-storage  facilities  located in the same
markets.  However, the Company's average self-storage  occupancy level is higher
than at any comparable  period in prior years,  despite the promotion and rental
activity of the portable  self-storage  business in the same markets. In the Los
Angeles,  California  market,  for  example,  where the Company  has  operated a
consistent pool of 138 self-storage  facilities since 1993, the occupancy levels
of these  facilities  increased from 87.8% (7.3 million occupied square feet) at
January  31, 1997 to 93.1% (7.7  million  occupied  square  feet) at January 31,
1998,  representing an increase of approximately 5.3%. During the same period of
time,  the newly opened PSPUD  facilities  in the Los Angeles  market  increased
their  aggregate  occupied  containers  from 957 (33,495 square feet) at January
1997 to 8,830 (309,050 square feet) at January 1998.  Accordingly,  in aggregate
(self-storage  and portable  self-storage  combined),  occupied  square  footage
increased  from 7.3  million at January  31,  1997 to 8.0 million at January 31,
1998, representing an increase of approximately 700,000 square feet. The Company
is seeking to  replicate  this  performance  in other major  markets in which it
operates.  However,  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  the  Company  will  be
successful.
                                       19
<PAGE>

     Due to the start-up  nature of the new business  venture,  PSPUD  generated
operating losses which materially impacted the Company's earnings in 1997 and is
expected to continue to generate  losses  during  1998.  The  Company,  however,
continues  to  believe  that it  should  invest in PSPUD,  which  responds  to a
promising  business  opportunity in at least certain markets and complements the
Company's  existing  self-storage  operations  through  joint use of a  national
telephone  reservation  system  and  a  coordinated  media  advertising  program
designed to increase consumer  awareness and rental activity of both traditional
self-storage facilities and portable self-storage.

     One of the keys to the successful  operation of  self-storage  and portable
self-storage  businesses has been and will continue to be the national telephone
reservation system. Commencing in early 1996, the Company implemented a national
telephone  reservation  system  designed  to  provide  added  customer  service.
Customers  calling either the Company's  toll-free  telephone  referral  system,
(800)  44-STORE,  or a  self-storage  facility  are  directed  to  the  national
reservation  system where a  representative  discusses  with the customer  space
requirements,  price and location  preferences  and also informs the customer of
other products and services  provided by the Company and its  subsidiaries.  The
national telephone  reservation system was not fully operational for most of the
Company's  facilities  until the  latter  part of the  fourth  quarter  of 1996.
Currently,  the national  telephone  reservation  system receives  approximately
160,000 calls per month and has approximately 200  representatives.  The Company
believes  that the  national  telephone  reservation  system  permits  effective
marketing for both  self-storage  and portable  self-storage  facilities  and is
primarily  responsible for increasing occupancy levels and realized rental rates
experienced  at the  self-storage  facilities  during 1997  compared to the same
period in the prior year.

     The Company will continue to focus its growth  strategies on: (i) improving
the  operating  performance  of  its  existing  portfolio  of  properties,  (ii)
increasing its ownership of  self-storage  facilities  through  acquisitions  of
facilities owned by affiliates or third party owners,  (iii)  development of new
self-storage  facilities,  (iv)  expansion and  improvement of the operations of
PSPUD,  and (v) to a limited extent , through its existing  ownership  interest,
will  participate in the growth of PS Business  Parks,  Inc., a publicly  traded
real  estate  investment  trust  focusing  on the  ownership  and  operation  of
commercial properties.

     The Company  seeks to increase the  operating  performance  of its existing
portfolio of  properties  by (i)  increasing  average  occupancy  rates and (ii)
achieving  higher levels of realized monthly rents per occupied square foot. The
Company  believes that its property  management  personnel and systems  combined
with the national  telephone  reservation  system and  marketing  programs  will
enhance the Company's ability to meet these goals.

     In addition to 533 wholly owned self-storage  facilities,  the Company also
operates,  on behalf of approximately 64 ownership entities in which the Company
has a partial equity  interest,  540  self-storage  facilities under the "Public
Storage"  name.  From time to time,  some of these  self-storage  facilities  or
interests  in them are  available  for  purchase,  providing  the Company with a
source of  additional  acquisition  opportunities.  The Company  believes  these
properties include some of the better located,  better constructed  self-storage
facilities in the industry.  Because these properties are partially owned by the
Company, it is provided with reliable operating information prior to acquisition
and these properties are easily integrated into the Company's portfolio.  During
1996 and 1997,  the Company  acquired 100 and 99  self-storage  facilities  from
affiliated entities in connection with mergers,  respectively, and increased its
ownership interest in 54 and 69 self-storage  facilities by acquiring additional
interests   in   affiliated   partnerships   owning   self-storage   facilities,
respectively.  During 1996 and 1997, the Company  acquired 47 and 4 self-storage
facilities from third parties,  respectively.  Similar to 1997, the Company does
not expect third party acquisitions to be significant during fiscal 1998, unless
attractive investment opportunities are available.

     Since  1995,  the  Company  has  developed  and  opened  a total  of  seven
self-storage facilities, one in 1995, four in 1996, and two in 1997. At December
31, 1997, four self-storage  facilities and ten portable self-storage facilities
were under construction.  Since April 1997, the Company's  development  activity
with respect to the self-storage  facilities,  has been  concentrated in a joint
venture  partnership  between the Company and a major state pension plan.  Under
the joint venture  arrangement,  the state pension plan  contributes  70% of the
equity with the  remaining  30% of the equity  being  provided by the Company to
finance  development.  There  is no debt  included  in the  partnership  and the
Company,  after a specified  period of time,  has an option to acquire the state
pension plan's interest in the partnership. Due to the Company's non-controlling
ownership  interest,  the joint venture  partnership is not  consolidated in the
Company's  financial  statements.  The  partnership is expected to develop up to
$220 million of properties  (approximately  50  facilities)  with expected store
openings through  mid-1999.  During 1997, the joint venture developed and opened
seven  self-storage  facilities  (approximately  412,000 square feet) and had 17
facilities under development (approximately 1,169,000 square feet).

     The  feasibility  of  developing   additional   self-storage  and  portable
self-storage  facilities is ongoing.  The focus is on selected  markets in which
there are few, if any,  facilities to acquire at attractive prices and where the
                                       20
<PAGE>

scarcity  of  other  undeveloped   parcels  of  land  or  other  impediments  to
development make it difficult to construct additional competing facilities.

     In January and  February  1998,  PSPUD opened five  additional  facilities.
PSPUD  is  currently  developing  ten  facilities  and has  also  identified  an
additional  five sites for  development  which  collectively  have an  aggregate
estimated  cost of $67.5  million.  All such  facilities are located in existing
markets in which PSPUD currently operates.

     On  January  2, 1997,  the  Company  reorganized  its  commercial  property
operations into a separate private REIT. The private REIT contributed its assets
to a newly  created  operating  partnership  (the  "Operating  Partnership")  in
exchange for a general partnership  interest and limited partnership  interests.
The  Company  and certain  partnerships  in which the Company has a  controlling
interest contributed  substantially all of their commercial properties to either
the Operating  Partnership in exchange for limited  partnership  interests or to
the private REIT in exchange for common  stock.  The Company  believes  that the
concentration of all the commercial properties and the property manager into one
entity will  create a vehicle  which  should  facilitate  future  growth in this
segment  of the real  estate  industry.  The  Company  will  participate  in the
entity's growth through the Company's ownership interest.

     In 1997, the private REIT and Operating Partnership acquired ten commercial
properties from third parties.  The aggregate purchase price of these facilities
consisted  of cash,  common  stock of the private  REIT and limited  partnership
interests of the Operating Partnership.

     At December 31, 1997, the private REIT and the Operating  Partnership owned
49 properties located in 10 states.  The Operating  Partnership also managed the
commercial  properties  owned by the  Company  and  affiliated  entities.  As of
December 31, 1997, the Company owned approximately 53% of the private REIT which
owned  approximately  19% of  the  Operating  Partnership.  The  balance  of the
Operating  Partnership  is  primarily  owned  by the  Company  and  partnerships
controlled by the Company.


     On January 21, 1998,  the private  REIT  entered  into an agreement  with a
group of unaffiliated  institutional investors under which up to $155,000,000 in
common  stock would be issued.  $50,000,000  of this common  stock was issued on
January  21,  1998,  with the  remainder  to be issued as funds are  required to
purchase commercial properties.

     On March 17, 1998, the private REIT merged into Public  Storage  Properties
XI, Inc., a publicly  traded REIT and an affiliate of the Company,  and the name
of the surviving corporation was changed to PS Business Parks, Inc. ("PSBP"). In
connection  with the merger,  PSBP exchanged 13  self-storage  facilities for 11
commercial  properties owned by the Company. Upon completion of the merger, PSBP
and the Operating Partnership owned 64 commercial properties  (approximately 7.3
million square feet), and managed the commercial properties owned by the Company
and  affiliated  partnerships.  Upon  completion of the merger,  the Company and
partnerships  controlled by the Company owned  approximately 58% of PSBP and the
Operating Partnership on a combined basis.

     Due to the  Company's  controlling  ownership  interest  in  PSBP  and  the
Operating Partnership,  the Company included the operations of these entities in
the  Company's  consolidated  financial  statements  as of  December  31,  1997.
However,  as a result of the March 17,  1998 merger and the  agreement  to issue
additional  shares of common  stock to the group of  unaffiliated  institutional
investors,  the  Company  believes  that its  reduced  ownership  will no longer
warrant the consolidation of these entities effective March 31, 1998.

     Since  1994,  the Company has  significantly  increased  both its asset and
capital base through the  investment in additional  real estate assets  financed
predominantly with the issuance of equity. As a result, the increased asset base
has  translated  into  significant  growth in the  Company's  overall  operating
results.  The comparative  growth in operating  results between 1997 and 1996 is
principally due to mergers with affiliated  REITs combined with  acquisitions of
additional real estate  facilities and investments in real estate entities.  The
comparative growth in operating results between 1996 and 1995 is principally due
to the impact of the  Company's  merger with  Public  Storage  Management,  Inc.
("PSMI"),  whereby the Company became  self-administered  and  self-managed  and
acquired  substantially  all of the United States real estate operations of PSMI
(the "PSMI Merger").

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

     NET INCOME AND EARNINGS  PER COMMON  SHARE:  Net income for 1997,  1996 and
1995 was $178,649,000,  $153,549,000 and $70,386,000, respectively, representing
increases  over the prior year of 16.4% for 1997 and 118.2% for 1996. Net income
allocable to common shareholders (net income less preferred stock dividends) for
1997, 1996 and 1995 was $90,256,000, $84,950,000 and $39,262,000,  respectively,
representing increases over the prior year of 6.3% for 1997 and 116.4% for 1996.
On a diluted  basis,  net income per common  share was $0.91  (based on weighted
average  shares  outstanding  of  98,961,000)  for 1997,  $1.10 per common share
(based on weighted average shares  outstanding of 77,358,000) for 1996 and $0.95
per common share (based on weighted  average  shares  outstanding of 41,171,000)
for 1995.

     The  decrease  in net  income  per  share  for  1997  compared  to 1996 was
principally the result of losses  generated from PSPUD's  portable  self-storage
business which  generated  operating  losses  totaling  $31,665,000 or $0.32 per
common  share and the  effect of the  special  dividend,  discussed  below.  The
increase in net income per share for 1996 compared to 1995 was  principally  the
result of improved  real estate  operations,  partially  offset by the operating
losses generated by PSPUD's portable  self-storage business totaling $826,000 or
$0.01 per common share.

     Net income allocable to common shareholders and net income per common share
for the year  ended  December  31,  1997 was  negatively  impacted  by a special
dividend  totaling  $13,412,000,  paid on the  Company's  Series CC  Convertible
Preferred  Stock  ("Series CC") during the first quarter of 1997. As a result of
this special  dividend,  the Company would not have been required to pay another
dividend  with  respect to this stock  until the quarter  ended March 31,  1999.
During the second  quarter of 1997,  the Series CC stock  converted  into common
stock of the Company. Accordingly during 1997, all of the $13,412,000 ($0.14 per
common share,  on a diluted basis) of dividends were treated as an allocation of
net income to the preferred  shareholders  in determining  the allocation of net
income to the common shareholders. The special dividend eliminated the quarterly
dividend of $1.9 million (annual fixed charges of $7.6 million).

     Net  income  includes  depreciation  and  amortization  expense  (including
depreciation  included  in  equity  in  earnings  of real  estate  entities)  of
approximately  $93,585,000 ($0.95 per common share) for 1997, $70,927,000 ($0.92
per common  share) for 1996 and  $31,562,000  ($0.77 per common share) for 1995.
The  fiscal  1995  earnings  per  common  share also  includes  a  reduction  of
approximately  $0.08 per common  share  relating  to the  accrual  of  estimated
environmental remediation costs (discussed below).

     At December 31, 1997, the Company's  investment  portfolio consisted of (i)
its  wholly-owned  properties,  (ii)  properties  owned by real estate  entities
consolidated with the Company (the "Consolidated Entities") and (iii) properties
owned by real estate  entities in which the  Company's  ownership  interest  and
control are not  sufficient to warrant the  consolidation  of such entities (the
"Unconsolidated   Entities").  The  following  table  summarizes  the  Company's

     SELF-STORAGE OPERATIONS:  The self-storage operations is by far the largest
component of the Company's operations,  representing  approximately 82% of total
revenues  generated  during 1997.  At the  beginning of 1994,  the Company had a
                                       22
<PAGE>
total of 368  self-storage  facilities  included in its  consolidated  financial
statements.  Since that time, the Company  through  acquisition  and development
activities  has increased the number of  self-storage  facilities by 526 (1995 -
152 facilities,  1996 - 201 facilities and 1997 - 173 facilities).  Self-storage
rental income and cost of operations presented on the consolidated statements of
income reflect the operations of all the 894  self-storage  facilities  owned by
the Company and the Consolidated  Entities.  For year to year  comparisons,  the

     For the consistent  group of facilities  owned throughout each of the three
fiscal years,  year-over-year  improvements in rental income of 5.7% in 1997 and
4.3% in 1996 are the  result of  increased  realized  rent per  square  foot and
increased  weighted average  occupancy  levels, as reflected in the table above.
The Company  believes that the  improvement in each of these areas is due to (i)
the national telephone  reservation system which was implemented during 1996 and
the first part of 1997,  (ii)  increased  rental  rates put into  effect  during
second half of 1996, and (iii) media advertising  implemented  during the second
half of 1997.

     As  indicated   above,  the  Company   implemented  a  national   telephone
reservation  system to provide added customer service.  Customers calling either
the Company's  toll-free telephone referral system,  (800) 44-STORE,  or a local
Public Storage facility, are directed to the national 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 the Company and its subsidiaries.

     In the second half of 1996,  the Company  began to increase  its  scheduled
rents charged to new customers (prior to promotional  discounts) and to existing
tenants  where  warranted.  As a result,  for fiscal 1997,  scheduled  rents per
square  foot  increased  compared  to 1996.  In  connection  with  the  national
telephone   reservation  system,  the  Company  experimented  with  pricing  and
promotional  discounts  designed  to  increase  rental  activity.   Accordingly,
promotional  discounts  (which are  included  as a  reduction  to gross rents to
arrive  at rental  income)  increased  significantly  from  $303,000  in 1995 to
$4,031,000 in 1996 and $14,244,000 in 1997. Despite the increased discounts, the
Company's  facilities  experienced  increased  realized rents per square foot of
4.6% in 1997 compared to 1996 and 3.1% in 1996 compared to 1995.

     With the exception of property  management  fees, most of the  self-storage
operating costs (i.e. payroll,  property taxes,  repairs and maintenance,  etc.)
are generally fixed. As a result of becoming self-managed in connection with the
PSMI Merger,  the Company no longer incurs  property  management  fees.  Cost of
operations  for 1996 decreased  compared to 1995  principally as a result of the
elimination of property management fees for 1996. Included in cost of operations
for 1995 were  management  fees totaling  $9,421,000.  However,  offsetting  the
decrease in property  management fees in 1997 and 1996 are expenses with respect
to the national telephone reservation system totaling $3,875,000 and $1,257,000,
respectively.

     DEVELOPMENT  OF  SELF-STORAGE  FACILITIES:  Commencing in 1995, the Company
began to construct  self-storage  facilities.  Through  December  31, 1997,  the
Company  constructed  and opened for operation  seven  facilities,  one of which
began operations in August 1995 (approximately 64,000 net rentable square feet),
four in 1996  (approximately  244,000 net rentable  square feet) and two in 1997
(approximately  118,000 net rentable  square  feet).  At December 31, 1997,  the
Company had four  self-storage  facilities  (approximately  273,000 net rentable
square  feet) under  construction  with an  aggregate  cost  incurred to date of
approximately  $10.3 million and total additional  estimated cost to complete of
$14.6 million.  Generally the construction  period takes 9 to 12 months followed
by a 18 to 24 month fill-up process until the newly constructed facility reaches
a stabilized occupancy level of approximately 90%.

     In April 1997, the Company formed a joint venture  partnership with a state
pension fund to participate in the development of approximately  $220 million of
self-storage  facilities.  The Company  expects  that  substantially  all of its
development  activities will be conducted in the joint venture partnership until
the $220 million is fully  committed.  At December 31, 1997,  the joint  venture
partnership  had  completed   construction  on  seven  self-storage   facilities
(approximately   412,000  net  rentable  square  feet)  with  a  total  cost  of
approximately   $40.8  million,   and  had  17  facilities  under   construction
(approximately  1,169,000  net  rentable  square  feet) with an  aggregate  cost
incurred to date of approximately  $48.9 million and total additional  estimated
cost to complete of $29.3 million.  The partnership is funded solely with equity
capital  consisting of 30% from the Company and 70% from the state pension fund.
The Company  accounts for its  investment  in the joint venture using the equity
method.  The following  summarizes  selected  financial data of the  development
joint venture partnership:

                                                                  (in thousands)

     COMMERCIAL   PROPERTY   OPERATIONS:   The  Company's   commercial  property
operations  represent  approximately  9% of the Company's  operations  (based on
total revenues  generated during 1997). The commercial  properties are generally
composed of multi-tenant office/industrial space and to a lesser extent suburban
office.  Commercial  property rental income and cost of operations  presented on
the  consolidated  statements  of  income  reflect  the  operations  of  the  61
facilities  owned by the Company and the  Consolidated  Entities.  The following

     As  indicated  in  the  above  table,  the  Company's  commercial  property
operations have grown  principally as a result of the addition of new properties
over the past three years.  The  operating  results of the  consistent  group of
properties  over the past three  years has been  improving,  with net  operating
income  increasing  principally  due  to  improved  realized  rental  rates  and
declining operating expenses.

     As discussed  above,  effective  March 31, 1998, the Company will no longer
consolidate  PSBP and the  Operating  Partnership.  This will have the effect of
reducing commercial property revenue and cost of operations for those properties
owned by PSBP and the Operating Partnership.

     EQUITY IN EARNINGS OF REAL ESTATE  ENTITIES:  As of December 31, 1997,  the
Company had ownership  interests in 29 affiliated  limited  partnerships and two
affiliated  REITs which  comprise the  Unconsolidated  Entities.  The  Company's
ownership  interest  in these  entities is less than 50%.  Due to the  Company's
limited ownership  interest and control of these entities,  the Company does not
consolidate the accounts of these entities for financial reporting purposes.

     Equity in earnings of real estate  entities  represents  the  Company's pro
rata share of earnings of the  Unconsolidated  Entities using the equity method.
Similar to the Company, the Unconsolidated  Entities generate  substantially all
of their  income  from their  ownership  of  self-storage  facilities  which are
managed by the Company.  In the  aggregate,  the  Unconsolidated  Entities own a
total of 181 real estate facilities,  179 of which are self-storage  facilities.
The  following  table  summarizes  the  components  of the  Company's  equity in
earnings of real estate entities:

(b)  principally  the  Company's  pro rata share of general  and  administrative
     expense and interest expense.

     The decrease in 1997 earnings compared to 1996 is principally the result of
certain business  combinations  occurring in 1996 and 1997 whereby the Company's
existing ownership interest in certain entities were converted into wholly-owned
real estate facilities (See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements).

     The  increase in  earnings in 1996  compared to 1995 is due to (i) the 1996
earnings reflecting a full year's operations for those interests acquired in the
PSMI  Merger  as  opposed  to just one and  one-half  months  in 1995,  (ii) the
Company's  acquisition of additional interests during 1996 in the Unconsolidated
Entities which resulted in increased earnings from these entities (See Note 5 to
the  consolidated   financial  statements)  offset  by  (iii)  certain  business
combinations occurring in 1996 whereby the Company's existing ownership interest
in certain entities were converted into wholly-owned real estate facilities (See

                        PORTABLE SELF-STORAGE OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     In August 1996, PSPUD, a subsidiary of the Company,  made its initial entry
into the portable  self-storage  business  through its  acquisition  of a single
facility  operator  located in  Irvine,  California.  In the latter  part of the
fourth  quarter of 1996,  PSPUD opened 3 facilities  in the Los Angeles  market.
During 1997,  PSPUD opened a total of 45 facilities (9 facilities  opened during
the first  quarter of 1997,  21 during the  second  quarter,  9 during the third
quarter, and 6 during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997).
                                       26
<PAGE>
     Due to the start-up nature of the business, PSPUD incurred operating losses
totaling  approximately  $31.7 million and $826,000 for the years ended December
31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, summarized as follows.

     PSPUD's  facilities had a total of 36,000  occupied  containers at December
31, 1997. Occupancy levels at the facilities varies  significantly  depending on
opening  date,  size of the facility and rental  activity.  Of the 49 facilities
opened as of December 31, 1997, 32 facilities had been opened in excess of seven
months.  The  capacity  of  these  32  facilities  ranges  from  1,600  to 3,500
containers  (averaging  2,140), and as of December 31, 1997 these facilities had
occupancy   levels   ranging  from  17%  to  97%   (averaging   43%).   As  with
mini-warehouses,   PSPUD  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.

     During 1997,  PSPUD  experimented  with monthly  container rental rates and
transportation  fees charged to customers.  At December 31, 1997, monthly rental
rates for the 32  facilities  ranged  from $45 to $69 per  container  per month.
Transportation  fees charged to customers ranged from $19 to $49 for each of the
move-in and move-out process. However, during 1997, PSPUD waived the move-in fee
to customers.

     PSPUD believes that marketing and advertising  activities positively impact
move-in  activity.  Commencing  in the third  quarter  of 1997,  PSPUD  began to
advertise the portable  self-storage  product on television in selected markets.
Customers   are  directed  to  call  the  national   reservation   system  where
representatives  discuss the  customers'  storage needs and are able to schedule
delivery of containers to customers locations.  During 1997,  approximately $9.2
million and $1.2 million was incurred in television and yellow page advertising,
respectively.  Marketing and advertising  activities have not been  consistently
implemented  in all markets.  PSPUD  believes  there may be markets in which its
business will not be successful despite consistent marketing and advertising and
is evaluating the advisability of continuing to operate in certain markets.

     Currently all of the PSPUD  facilities are operated in buildings  which are
leased from third parties. A typical facility generally has 6 personnel (manager
and truck  drivers),  2 to 4 trucks,  and a  corresponding  number of forklifts.
Substantially  all the equipment is leased.  Direct operating costs  principally
includes payroll, facility and equipment (truck and forklift) lease expense.

     During 1997, PSPUD incurred  significant  general and administrative  costs
related to recruiting and training personnel,  equipment,  computer software and
professional  fees in organizing  this  business.  PSPUD will continue to expend
funds during 1998 in connection with these activities.  However,  the amounts of
which are expected to be less than in 1997.

     During 1998,  PSPUD has opened an  additional 5 facilities in markets where
PSPUD  facilities  are currently  operating.  The number of new store opening in
1998 is not  determinable,  however,  future  opening will  predominantly  be in
existing  markets in which  PSPUD  currently  operates.  By opening in  existing
markets, PSPUD will seek to gain benefits from economies of scale. PSPUD is also
developing 10 facilities and has identified 5 additional  sites for development.
All of these development  projects are located in existing markets with expected
opening dates commencing during the second half of 1998.

     Until the PSPUD facilities are operating profitably, PSPUD's operations are
expected to continue to adversely impact the Company's earnings.  PSPUD believes
that its  business is likely to be more  successful  in certain  markets than in
others.  There can be no assurances as to the level of PSPUD's expansion,  level
of gross rentals, level of move-outs or profitability.

                         PROPERTY MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     In  connection  with  the  PSMI  Merger,   the  Company  acquired  property
management  contracts,  exclusive  of  facilities  owned  by  the  Company,  for
self-storage facilities and, through a subsidiary,  the management contracts for
commercial  properties.  These  facilities  constitute  all of the United States
self-storage  facilities  and  commercial  properties  doing  business under the
"Public  Storage"  name and all those in which the Company has an  interest.  At
December 31, 1997,  the Company  managed 1,107  self-storage  facilities  (1,073
owned by  affiliates  of the  Company  and 34 owned  by third  parties)  and the
Operating Partnership managed 63 commercial  properties,  all of which are owned
by the Company or affiliates of the Company.

     The property management  contracts generally provide for compensation equal
to 6%, in the case of the  self-storage  facilities,  and 5%, in the case of the
commercial  properties,  of gross revenues of the facilities managed.  Under the
supervision of the property  owners,  the Company  coordinates  rental policies,
rent collections,  marketing activities, the purchase of equipment and supplies,
maintenance activity, and the selection and engagement of vendors, suppliers and
independent  contractors.  In  addition,  the  Company  assists  and advises the
property owners in establishing policies for the hire, discharge and supervision
of employees for the operation of these facilities, including resident managers,
assistant managers, relief managers and billing and maintenance personnel.

     Because the Company has  significant  ownership  interests in all but 34 of
the facilities it manages,  the revenues generated from its property  management
operations are generally predictable and are dependent upon the future growth of
rental income for those  facilities the Company  manages.  However,  because the
Company  has  acquired in the past,  and may  continue to seek to acquire in the
future,  real  estate  facilities  owned  by the  Unconsolidated  Entities,  the
Company's  facility  management income should decrease in 1998 compared to 1997.
The  acquisitions  of  such  facilities  will  reduce   management  fee  income.

     Effective March 31, 1998, the Company will no longer  consolidate PSBP, the
commercial  properties  manager.  This  will  have  the  effect  of  eliminating
commercial properties management fee income and cost of operations.

and the rental of trucks and other moving equipment  through the  implementation
of a retail expansion program and truck rental program. The net results of these
businesses are presented along with interest and other income,  as "interest and
other  income."  The  components  of interest  and other  income are detailed as

     The  strategic  objective  of the retail  expansion  program is to create a
"Retail Store" that will (i) rent spaces for the attached self-storage facility,
(ii)  rent  spaces  for  the  other  Public   Storage   facilities  in  adjacent
neighborhoods,  (iii) sell  locks,  boxes and packing  materials  to the general
public,  including tenants and (iv) rent trucks and other moving equipment,  all
in  an  environment  that  is  more  retail  oriented.  Retail  stores  will  be
retro-fitted to existing  self-storage  facility rental offices or "built-in" as
part of the development of new  self-storage  facilities,  both in high traffic,
high visibility locations.

     Interest and other income is primarily  attributable  to interest income on
cash  balances and interest  income from  mortgage  notes  receivable.  Interest
income from mortgage notes receivable was $2,938,000,  $2,710,000 and $1,974,000
in 1997,  1996 and 1995,  respectively.  The  Company  canceled  mortgage  notes
receivable  of  approximately  $700,000  in  1996  and  $16,435,000  in  1995 in
connection with the acquisition of real estate  facilities  securing such notes.
The Company also acquired  notes  receivable of $6,667,000 in the PSMI Merger in
1995  and  an  additional   $12,355,000   and   $3,709,000  in  1995  and  1996,
respectively,  from affiliated  parties.  The other increases in interest income
are  primarily  attributable  to  fluctuations  in the  level of  invested  cash
balances,  which are caused by the timing of investing equity offering  proceeds
in real estate assets.

     DEPRECIATION AND  AMORTIZATION:  Depreciation and amortization  expense was
$91,356,000  in  1997,  $64,967,000  in 1996  and  $40,760,000  in  1995.  These
increases are  principally  due to the  acquisition  of  additional  real estate
facilities  in each  period;  the increase  from 1995 to 1996 also  includes the
effect of amortization of intangible assets acquired in connection with the PSMI
Merger.  Depreciation  expense  with respect to the real estate  facilities  was
$82,047,000 in 1997,  $55,689,000 in 1996 and $39,376,000 in 1995; the increases
are due to the acquisition of additional real estate  facilities in 1995 through
1997.  Amortization  expense with respect to intangible  assets  acquired in the
PSMI Merger  totaled  $9,309,000 in 1997,  $9,309,000 in 1996 and  $1,164,000 in
1995 (the 1995 amount  representing  a pro rated  amount from  November 16, 1995
through the end of the year).

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE:  General and administrative expense was
$6,384,000 in 1997,  $5,524,000 in 1996 and  $3,982,000 in 1995. The Company has
experienced  and  expects  to  continue  to  experience  increased  general  and
administrative  costs due to the  following:  (i) the  growth in the size of the
Company,  (ii) the Company's property  acquisition  activities have continued to
expand,  resulting in certain  additional  costs incurred in connection with the
acquisition of additional real estate facilities, and (iii) pursuant to the PSMI
Merger, the Company became self-advised,  resulting in the Company internalizing
management  functions which previously were provided by the Company's investment
adviser. However, offsetting the increases in general and administrative expense
has been the  elimination  of advisory fee expense.  General and  administrative
costs for each year  principally  consist of state  income  taxes (for states in
which the Company is a non-resident),  investor relation  expenses,  and certain
overhead  associated  with  the  acquisition  and  development  of  real  estate
facilities.

     INTEREST  EXPENSE:  Interest expense was $6,792,000 in 1997,  $8,482,000 in
1996 and $8,508,000 in 1995.  Reflecting the Company's reluctance to finance its
growth with debt,  debt and related  interest  expense  remains  relatively  low
compared to the Company's overall asset base. The Company  capitalized  interest
expense  of  $2,428,000  in 1997,  $1,861,000  in 1996 and  $307,000  in 1995 in
connection with the Company's  development  activities.  Interest expense before
the  capitalization of interest was $9,220,000 in 1997,  $10,343,000 in 1996 and
$8,815,000 in 1995.  The decrease in interest  expense in 1997 compared to 1996,
principally  is due to the  retirement  of debt in 1997 of  approximately  $11.9
million.  The increase in interest  expense in 1996 compared to 1995 principally
is due to the  assumption of a $65.5  million,  7.08%  unsecured  senior note in
connection with the PSMI Merger on November 16, 1995.

     ENVIRONMENTAL  COSTS:  The  Company'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  reasonably be estimated.  The majority of
the Company's real estate facilities were acquired prior to the time when it was
customary to conduct environmental assessments. During 1995, the Company and the
Consolidated  Entities  conducted  independent  environmental  investigations of
their real estate facilities.  As a result of these investigations,  the Company
recorded an amount which, in management's  best estimate,  will be sufficient to
satisfy  anticipated  costs of known remediation  requirements.  At December 31,
1995, the Company  accrued  $2,741,000 for estimated  environmental  remediation
costs.  Although  there can be no  assurance,  the  Company  is not aware of any
environmental  contamination of any of its facilities  which  individually or in
the aggregate  would be material to the Company's  overall  business,  financial
condition,  or results of operations.  The Company believes that amounts accrued
in 1995 are sufficient to satisfy anticipated costs.

     ADVISORY  FEES:  Advisory fees were  $6,437,000 in 1995.  The advisory fee,
which was based on a contractual computation, increased as a result of increased
adjusted net income (as defined) per common share  combined with the issuance of
additional preferred and common stock during each of the periods.  Advisory fees
for fiscal 1995  represent  such amounts from the  beginning of the year through
November 16, 1995,  when the Company  became  self-advised  pursuant to the PSMI
Merger.  As a result of  becoming  self-advised,  the  Company no longer  incurs
advisory fees.

     MINORITY  INTEREST IN INCOME:  Minority  interest in income  represents the
income  allocable to equity  interests in  Consolidated  Entities  which are not
owned by the Company.  Since 1990,  the Company has  acquired  portions of these
equity  interests  through its  acquisition  of limited and general  partnership
interests in the  Consolidated  Entities.  These  acquisitions  have resulted in
reductions  to the  "Minority  interest in income" from what it would  otherwise
have been in the absence of such acquisitions,  and accordingly,  have increased
the Company's share of the Consolidated  Entities' income.  However,  offsetting
the  reduction  in  minority  interest  in 1997  caused  by the  acquisition  of
additional equity interests are the inclusion of additional  partnerships in the
Company's  consolidated  financial  statements  as  well  as  improved  property
operations.  During 1997, the Company acquired sufficient ownership interest and
control in twelve  partnerships  and  commenced  including the accounts of these
partnerships in the Company's  consolidated  financial statements which amounted
to an increase in minority  interest in income of  approximately  $1,961,000  in
1997.

     In determining income allocable to the minority interest for 1997, 1996 and
1995  consolidated   depreciation  and  amortization  expense  of  approximately
$9,245,000, $11,490,000  and  $11,243,000,  respectively,  was  allocated to the
minority  interest.  The  changes  in  depreciation  allocated  to the  minority
interest was principally  the result of the  acquisition of limited  partnership
units in the Consolidated  Entities by the Company  throughout fiscal 1995, 1996
and 1997 offset by an increase resulting from the above mentioned  consolidation
of partnerships.

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000
- -------------------
     The Company has completed an initial  assessment  of its computer  systems.
The majority of the computer  programs were  installed or upgraded over the past
few years  and are Year 2000  compliant.  Some of the  older  computer  programs
utilized by the Company  were  written  without  regard for Year 2000 issues and
could cause a system  failure or  miscalculations  with  possible  disruption of
operations. Each of these computer programs and systems has been evaluated to be
upgraded or replaced as part of the Company's Year 2000 project.

     The cost of the Year 2000 project  will be  allocated to all entities  that
use the Company  computer  systems.  The cost of the Year 2000 project  which is
expected to be allocated to the Company is approximately $2.8 million.  The cost
of new software will be capitalized and the cost of software maintenance will be
expensed as incurred.

     The project is expected to be completed by March 31, 1999 which is prior to
any  anticipated  impact on operating  systems.  the Company  believes that with
modifications to existing software and, in some instances, the conversion to new
software,  the Year 2000 issue will not pose significant  operational  problems.
However,  if such  modifications are not made, or are not completed timely,  the
Year 2000 issue could have a material impact on the operations of the Company.

     The costs of the project and the date on which the Company believes it will
complete the Year 2000  modifications  are based on management's best estimates,
which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events. There can be
no guarantee  that these  estimates  will be achieved and actual  results  could
differ materially from those anticipated.

                      SUPPLEMENTAL PROPERTY DATA AND TRENDS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     There are  approximately  69 ownership  entities  owning in aggregate 1,073
self-storage facilities,  including the facilities which the Company owns and/or
operates.  At  December  31,  1997,  179  of  these  facilities  were  owned  by
Unconsolidated Entities, entities in which the Company has an ownership interest
and uses the equity method for financial statement  presentation.  The remaining
894 facilities are owned by the Company and Consolidated  Entities many of which
were acquired through business  combinations  with affiliates  during 1997, 1996
and 1995.

     In order to evaluate how the Company's  overall  portfolio  has  performed,
management  analyzes  the  operating   performance  of  a  consistent  group  of
self-storage facilities representing 951 (55.8 million net rentable square feet)
of the  1,073  self-storage  facilities  (herein  referred  to as  "Same  Store"
self-storage  facilities).  The 951 facilities  represents a consistent  pool of
properties  which have been  operated  under the  "Public  Storage"  name,  at a
stabilized  level, by the Company since January 1, 1993. The Same Store group of
properties includes 780 consolidated facilities (many of which were not included
in the Company's  consolidated financial statements throughout each of the three
years  presented)  and 171  facilities  owned by  Unconsolidated  Entities.  The
following table summarizes the pre-depreciation  historical operating results of
the Same Store self-storage facilities:

2.   Realized  rent  per  square  foot  as  presented   throughout  this  report
     represents the actual revenue earned per occupied  square foot.  Management
     believes this is a more relevant  measure then the scheduled  rental rates,
     since scheduled rates can be discounted through the use of promotions.
3.   Gross profit margin is computed by dividing  property net operating  income
     (before  depreciation  expense)  by  rental  revenues.  Cost of  operations
     includes  a 6%  management  fee.  The gross  profit  margin  excluding  the
     facility  management fee was 70.7%, 70.5% and 70.6% in 1997, 1996 and 1995,
     respectively.  On November  16,  1995,  the Company  acquired  its facility
     manager and no longer incurs such fees on the  properties it owns. 
4.   Other expenses principally include utilities,  repairs and maintenance, and
     other items such as office expenses.

     As  indicated  above,  in early 1996,  the Company  implemented  a national
telephone  reservation system designed to provide added customer service for all
the  self-storage  facilities  under  management  by the  Company.  The  Company
believes that the improved operating  results,  as indicated in the above table,
in large  part are due to the  success  of the  national  telephone  reservation
system.  However,  the  national  telephone  reservation  system  was not  fully
operational for most of the self-storage facilities until the latter part of the
fourth quarter of 1996.

     Rental income for the Same Store facilities included promotional  discounts
totaling  $16,708,000  in 1997  compared to  $6,000,000  in 1996 and $729,000 in
1995,  respectively.  The  significant  increase in 1997 was  principally due to
experimentation  with  pricing and  promotional  discounts  designed to increase
rental activity.

     The  self-storage  facilities  experience  minor seasonal  fluctuations  in
occupancy levels with occupancies  generally higher in the summer months than in
the winter months. The Company believes that these  fluctuations  result in part
from increased moving activities during the summer.

     The Company  believes  that its  internally  generated net cash provided by
operating  activities  will  continue to be  sufficient to enable it to meet its
operating  expenses,   capital  improvements,   debt  service  requirements  and
distributions to shareholders for the foreseeable  future.  Net cash provided by
operating  activities  (as  determined in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
accounting  principles)  reflects the cash generated from the Company's business
before  distributions  to  various  equity  holders,   including  the  preferred
shareholders, capital expenditures or mandatory principal payments on debt.

     Operating as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), the Company's ability
to retain cash flow for reinvestment is restricted.  In order for the Company to
maintain its favored REIT status,  a substantial  portion of its operating  cash
flow must be used to make  distributions to its shareholders  (see "REIT STATUS"
below). The following table summarizes the Company's ability to pay the minority
interests'  distributions,  its  dividends  to the  preferred  shareholders  and
capital improvements to maintain the facilities through the use of cash provided
by operating  activities.  The remaining cash flow generated is available to the
Company to make both  scheduled  and optional  principal  payments on debt,  pay
distributions to common shareholders and for reinvestment.

</TABLE>
     The  fiscal  1997  funds  available  for  principal  payments  on debt  and
reinvestment  includes  the  start-up  operating  losses  related to PSPUD's new
portable self-storage business of $31.7 million. Management views such losses as
part of the  reinvestment  of the Company's  internally  generated cash flows in
PSPUD.

     DISTRIBUTIONS REQUIREMENTS:  The Company's conservative distribution policy
has been the principal  reason for the Company's  ability to retain  significant
operating  cash flows which have been used to make  additional  investments  and
debt reductions.  During 1995, 1996 and 1997, the Company  distributed to common
shareholders  approximately  52% ,  43%  and  44%  of its  cash  available  from
operations allocable to common shareholders, respectively.

     During 1997, the Company paid dividends totaling $68,534,000 to the holders
of the  Company's  Senior  Preferred  Stock,  $4,531,000  to the  holders of the
Convertible  Preferred  Stock,  $15,328,000  to the  holders  of the  Series  CC
                                       34
<PAGE>

Convertible  Preferred Stock (which  converted to common stock during the second
quarter of 1997) and $86,181,000 to the holders of Common Stock.  Dividends with
respect to the Senior Preferred Stock include  pro-rated  amounts for securities
issued during 1997.  The Company  estimates the  distribution  requirements  for
fiscal 1998 with respect to Senior Preferred Stock and the Convertible Preferred
Stock to be  approximately  $80.7  million.  Distributions  with  respect to the
common  stock will be  determined  based upon the  Company's  REIT  distribution
requirements  after taking into  consideration  distributions  to the  Company's
preferred shareholders.

     CAPITAL  IMPROVEMENT  REQUIREMENTS:  During 1998,  the Company has budgeted
approximately  $27.4  million for capital  improvements  ($22.9  million for its
self-storage  facilities  and $4.5 million for its commercial  properties).  The
minority interests' share of the budgeted capital  improvements is approximately
$3.8 million.

     During 1995, the Company commenced a program to enhance its visual icon and
modernize the appearance of its self-storage facilities, including modernization
of signs, paint color schemes, and rental offices.  Included in the 1998 capital
improvement   budget  is  approximately  $3.2  million  with  respect  to  these
expenditures.

     The  significant   increase  in  capital   improvements  in  1997  for  the
self-storage  facilities  (as  reflected  in  the  table  above)  is  due to the
acquisition of new facilities in 1997.

     DEBT  SERVICE  REQUIREMENTS:  The  Company  does  not  believe  it has  any
significant refinancing risks with respect to its mortgage debt, all of which is
fixed rate.  At December  31,  1997,  the  Company had total  outstanding  notes
payable of approximately  $96.6 million and $7 million outstanding on the credit
facility.  See Note 7 to the consolidated  financial  statements for approximate
principal maturities of such borrowings.

     The Company uses its $150 million of bank credit facility (all of which was
unused  as of  March  27,  1998)  primarily  to fund  acquisitions  and  provide
financial  flexibility  and  liquidity.  The  credit  facility  currently  bears
interest at LIBOR plus 0.40% based on the Company's current financial ratios.

     GROWTH  STRATEGIES:  During 1998, the Company intends to continue to expand
its asset and  capital  base  principally  through the (i)  acquisition  of real
estate  assets and interests in real estate  assets from both  unaffiliated  and
affiliated  parties through direct  purchases,  mergers,  tender offers or other
transactions,  (ii) development of additional  self-storage  facilities and (iv)
the  expected  expansion  in the  operations  of PSPUD's  portable  self-storage
business.

     MERGERS WITH  AFFILIATES:  As indicated above, in March 1998, the Company's
private REIT merged with and into  Properties 11, a publicly  traded real estate
investment trust affiliated with the Company. In connection with the merger, the
Company  exchanged  11 wholly owned  commercial  properties  with the  surviving
corporation  for 13 self-storage  facilities.  At December 31, 1997, the Company
and the Consolidated  Entities owned approximately a 68% interest in the private
REIT and the  Operating  Partnership  on a combined  basis and a 37% interest in
Properties 11. Upon completion of the merger,  the Company and the  Consolidated
Entities own  approximately  58% of the surviving  corporation and the Operating
Partnership on a combined basis.

     In February 1998,  Public Storage  Properties  XX, Inc.  ("Properties  20")
agreed,  subject to  certain  conditions,  to merge  with and into the  Company.
Properties  20 is an  affiliated  publicly  traded  equity  REIT.  The merger is
conditioned  on approval by the  shareholders  of Properties 20. At December 31,
1997, the Company owned  approximately 24% of Properties 20. The Company expects
that,  if approved by the  shareholders,  the merger  would be  completed in the
second  quarter of 1998.  Properties 20 is the last  remaining  affiliated  REIT
involved in the ownership of self-storage facilities.

     In  addition  to 533 wholly  owned  self-storage  facilities,  the  Company
operates,  on behalf of  approximately 64 ownership  entities,  540 self-storage
facilities  under the "Public  Storage"  name in which the Company has a partial
equity  interest.  From time to time, some of these  self-storage  facilities or
interests  in them are  available  for  purchase,  providing  the Company with a
source of additional acquisition opportunities.

     DEVELOPMENT  OF  SELF-STORAGE  FACILITIES:  Commencing in 1995, the Company
began to construct self-storage facilities. Since 1995, the Company has opened a
total  of seven  facilities,  one in 1995,  four in 1996,  and two in 1997.  The
Company is evaluating  the  feasibility  of developing  additional  self-storage
facilities  in selected  markets in which there are few, if any,  facilities  to
acquire at attractive prices and where the scarcity of other undeveloped parcels
of land or other  impediments  to  development  make it  difficult  to construct
additional competing facilities.

     In April 1997, the Company formed a joint venture  partnership with a state
pension fund to participate in the development of approximately  $220 million of

                                       35

self-storage facilities. At December 31, 1997, the joint venture partnership had
completed construction of seven self-storage  facilities  (approximately 412,000
net rentable square feet) with a total cost of approximately $40.8 million,  and
had 17  facilities  under  construction  (approximately  1,169,000  net rentable
square  feet) with an aggregate  cost  incurred to date of  approximately  $48.9
million and total  additional  estimated cost to complete of $29.3 million.  The
partnership  is funded  solely with equity  capital  consisting  of 30% from the
Company and 70% from the state pension fund.

     PORTABLE  SELF-STORAGE  BUSINESS:  As indicated  above, in 1996 the Company
organized  PSPUD as a separate  corporation  to operate a portable  self-storage
business  that rents  storage  containers  to  customers  for storage in central
warehouses.  As of December 31, 1997, PSPUD operated a total of 49 facilities in
24 greater  metropolitan areas in 16 states. In January and February 1998, PSPUD
opened five  additional  facilities.  PSPUD has also identified an additional 15
sites in existing  markets for  development of PSPUD  facilities at an aggregate
estimated cost of $67.5 million.

     FINANCING THE COMPANY'S GROWTH STRATEGIES:  The Company expects to fund its
growth strategies with cash on hand at December 31, 1997,  internally  generated
retained cash flows and borrowings under its $150 million credit  facility.  The
Company  intends  to repay  amounts  borrowed  under the  credit  facility  from
undistributed  operating  cash  flow or,  as market  conditions  permit  and are
determined to be  advantageous,  from the public or private  placement of equity
securities.

     The Company believes that its size and financial  flexibility enables it to
access capital for growth when appropriate.  The Company's  financial profile is
characterized  by a low level of debt to total  capitalization,  increasing  net
income, increasing cash flow from operations, and a conservative dividend payout
ratio with respect to the common  stock.  The  Company's  credit  ratings on its
Senior  Preferred  Stock by each of the three major credit  agencies are Baa2 by
Moody's and BBB+ by Standard and Poors and Duff & Phelps.

     The Company's  portfolio of real estate  facilities  remains  substantially
unencumbered. At December 31, 1997, the Company had mortgage debt outstanding of
$43.3 million and had consolidated  real estate  facilities with a book value of
$2.7 billion.  The Company has been reluctant to finance its  acquisitions  with
debt and  generally  will only  increase  its  mortgage  borrowing  through  the
assumption of pre-existing debt on acquired real estate facilities.

     Over the past three years the Company has funded  substantially  all of its
acquisitions  with  permanent  capital  (both common and preferred  stock).  The
Company has elected to use  preferred  stock  despite the fact that the dividend
rates of its preferred  stock exceeds  current  interest  rates on  conventional
debt. The Company has chosen this method of financing for the following reasons:
(i) the Company's perpetual preferred stock has no sinking fund requirement,  or
maturity date and does not require redemption, all of which eliminate any future
refinancing  risks,  (ii)  preferred  stock  allows the Company to leverage  the
common stock without the attendant  interest rate or refinancing  risks of debt,
and (iii)  like  interest  payments,  dividends  on the  preferred  stock can be
applied to the Company's REIT distributions requirements,  which have helped the
Company to maintain a low common  stock  dividend  payout  ratio and retain cash
flow.

     Since January 1, 1998, the Company has issued an aggregate of approximately
6.4 million shares of common stock,  raising net proceeds of approximately  $189
million.  The Company  intends to use the net proceeds  from these  offerings to
make  investments in real estate,  primarily  self-storage,  including  mortgage
loans and interest in real estate  partnerships,  to satisfy  cash  elections in
connection with mergers with affiliated REITs and to fund investments in PSPUD.

     REIT STATUS:  The Company  believes  that it has  operated,  and intends to
continue to operate, in such a manner as to qualify as a REIT under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, but no assurance can be given that it will at all times so
qualify.  To the extent that the Company continues to qualify as a REIT, it will
not be taxed,  with certain  limited  exceptions,  on the taxable income that is
distributed  to its  shareholders,  provided  that at least  95% of its  taxable
income is so  distributed  prior to  filing of the  Company's  tax  return.  The
Company has satisfied the REIT distribution requirement since 1980.

     FUNDS FROM  OPERATIONS:  Total funds from  operations or "FFO" increased to
$272,234,000  for the year ended December 31, 1997 compared to  $224,476,000  in
1996 and  $105,199,000  in 1995.  FFO  available to common  shareholders  (after
deducting  preferred stock  dividends)  increased to  $197,253,000  for the year
ended  December 31, 1997 compared to  $155,877,000  in 1996 and  $74,075,000  in
1995.  FFO means net  income  (loss)  (computed  in  accordance  with  generally
accepted accounting  principles) before (i) gain (loss) on early  extinguishment
of debt,  (ii) minority  interest in income and (iii) gain (loss) on disposition
of real estate,  adjusted as follows:  (i) plus  depreciation  and  amortization
(including the Company's  pro-rata share of  depreciation  and  amortization  of
unconsolidated  equity interests and amortization of assets acquired in the PSMI
Merger,  including property management  agreements and goodwill),  and (ii) less
FFO attributable to minority interest.

                                       36

     FFO is a  supplemental  performance  measure for equity REITs as defined by
the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. ("NAREIT").  The
NAREIT  definition  does not  specifically  address  the  treatment  of minority
interest in the  determination  of FFO or the treatment of the  amortization  of
property  management  agreements and goodwill.  In the case of the Company,  FFO
represents  amounts  attributable to its  shareholders  after deducting  amounts
attributable   to  the  minority   interests  and  before   deductions  for  the
amortization of property  management  agreements and goodwill.  FFO is presented
because many industry analysts consider FFO to be one measure of the performance
of the  Company and it is used in  establishing  the terms of the Class B Common
Stock.  FFO does not take into  consideration  capital  improvements,  scheduled
principal payments on debt,  distributions and other obligations of the Company.
Accordingly,  FFO is not a substitute  for the Company's cash flow or net income
(as  discussed  above) as a measure  of the  Company's  liquidity  or  operating
performance.

ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
          -----------------------------------------------------------
     To limit the  Company's  exposure to market risk,  the Company  principally
finances its  operations and growth with  permanent  equity  capital  consisting
either of common or preferred stock. At December 31, 1997, the Company's debt as
a percentage of total shareholders' equity (based on book values) was 3.6%.

     The Company's  preferred  stock is not  redeemable  by the holders.  Except
under certain conditions relating to the Company's  qualification as a REIT, the
Senior  Preferred Stock are not redeemable by the Company prior to the following
dates: Series A - September 30, 2002, Series B - March 31, 2003, Series C - June
30, 1999, Series D - September 30, 2004, Series E - January 31, 2005, Series F -
April 30,  2005,  Series G - December  31,  2000,  Series H - January 31,  2001,
Series I -  October  31,  2001,  Series J - August  31,  2002.  On or after  the
respective  dates,  each  of the  series  of  Senior  Preferred  Stock  will  be
redeemable  at the option of the Company,  in whole or in part, at $25 per share
(or  depositary  share in the case of the Series H, Series I and Series J), plus
accrued and unpaid dividends.

     The Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the option of
the  holders  of such  stock  into  shares of the  Company's  common  stock at a
conversion  rate of 1.6835 shares of common stock for each share of  Convertible
Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The Convertible
Preferred Stock is not redeemable for cash.

     The Company's market risk sensitive instruments include notes payable which
totaled  $103,558,000 at December 31, 1997 (included $7,000,000 of borrowings on
the  Company's  revolving  line  of  credit  which  were  subsequently  repaid).
Substantially  all of the Company's  notes payable bear interest at fixed rates.
See Note 7 for terms,  valuations and  approximate  principal  maturities of the
notes payable as of December 31, 1997.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS





                    The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Public Storage, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying  consolidated balance sheets of Public Storage,
Inc. as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related  consolidated  statements
of income,  shareholders'  equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period  ended  December  31, 1997.  Our audits also  included the  financial
statement  schedule  listed  in the  Index  at  Item  14  (a).  These  financial
statements  and  financial  statement  schedule  are the  responsibility  of the
Company's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to  express  an opinion on these
financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects,  the consolidated financial position of Public
Storage, Inc. at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the consolidated results of its
operations  and its cash flows for each of the three  years in the period  ended
December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting  principles.
Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule,  when considered
in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,  presents fairly
in all material respects the information set forth therein.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                December 31, 1997

1.   Description of the business
     ----------------------------
          Public Storage, Inc. (the "Company") is a California corporation which
     was organized in 1980. The Company is a fully integrated, self-administered
     and  self-managed  real estate  investment  trust  ("REIT") that  acquires,
     develops,   owns  and   operates   self-storage   facilities   which  offer
     self-storage  spaces for  lease,  usually on a  month-to-month  basis,  for
     personal  and  business  use.  The  Company,   through  a  majority   owned
     subsidiary,   also  owns  and  operates  commercial  properties  containing
     commercial and industrial rental space.

          Prior to November 16, 1995,  the  Company's  operations  were managed,
     pursuant to contractual arrangements, by Public Storage Advisers, Inc. (the
     "Adviser"), the Company's investment advisor, by Public Storage Management,
     Inc. ("PSMI"), its self-storage  facilities property operator and by Public
     Storage  Commercial   Properties  Group,  Inc.,  its  commercial   property
     operator.  On November 16, 1995,  in a series of mergers among PSMI and its
     affiliates,  culminating  in the merger of PSMI into the Company (the "PSMI
     Merger"),  the  Company  became   self-administered  and  self-managed  and
     acquired  substantially  all of the United States real estate operations of
     PSMI.

          In 1996 and 1997,  the Company  organized  Public  Storage  Pickup and
     Delivery,  Inc. as a separate  corporation and a related  partnership  (the
     corporation  and partnership  are  collectively  referred to as "PSPUD") to
     operate a portable  self-storage  business that rents storage containers to
     customers for storage in central  warehouses.  At December 31, 1997,  PSPUD
     operated 49 facilities in 16 states.

          On January 2, 1997, the Company  reorganized  its commercial  property
     operations into a separate private REIT (the "Private  REIT").  The Private
     REIT contributed its assets to a newly created  operating  partnership (the
     "Operating Partnership") in exchange for a general partnership interest and
     limited  partnership  interests.  The Company and certain  partnerships  in
     which the Company has a controlling interest contributed  substantially all
     of their commercial properties to the Operating Partnership in exchange for
     limited partnership interests or to the Private REIT in exchange for common
     stock. At December 31, 1997, the Private REIT and the Operating Partnership
     owned 49 properties  located in 10 states.  The Operating  Partnership also
     managed the  commercial  properties  owned by the  Company  and  affiliated
     entities.  As of December 31, 1997, the Company owned  approximately 53% of
     the  Private  REIT  which  owned   approximately   19%  of  the   Operating
     Partnership. The balance of the Operating Partnership is primarily owned by
     the Company and partnerships  controlled by the Company. On March 17, 1998,
     the Private  REIT  merged  into Public  Storage  Properties  XI,  Inc.,  an
     affiliated  publicly traded REIT and the name of the surviving  corporation
     was changed to PS Business Parks, Inc. ("PSBP").

          The Company invests in real estate  facilities  primarily  through the
     acquisition of  wholly-owned  facilities  combined with the  acquisition of
     equity interests in real estate entities owning real estate facilities.  At
     December 31, 1997, the Company had direct and indirect equity  interests in
     1,136  properties  located  in  38  states,  including  1,073  self-storage
     facilities  and 63  commercial  properties.  All of  these  facilities  are
     operated by the Company under the "Public Storage" name.

2.   Summary of significant accounting policies
     ------------------------------------------
          Basis of presentation
          ---------------------
          The  consolidated  financial  statements  include the  accounts of the
     Company,   PSPUD,  the  Private  REIT,  the  Operating   Partnership,   and
     thirty-three controlled limited partnerships (the "Consolidated Entities").
     Collectively,  the Company, the Operating  Partnership and the Consolidated
     Entities  own a total  of 955 real  estate  facilities,  consisting  of 894
     self-storage facilities and 61 commercial properties.

          At December 31, 1997,  the Company also has equity  investments  in 29
     other affiliated limited partnerships and two REITs owning in aggregate 181
     real  estate  facilities  (179  self-storage  facilities  and 2  commercial

     properties)  which are  managed by the  Company.  The  Company's  ownership
     interest in such real estate  entities is less than 50% of the total equity
     interest and the Company's  investments in these entities are accounted for
     using the equity method.

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

          Income taxes
          ------------
          For all taxable years  subsequent to 1980,  the Company  qualified and
     intends to continue to qualify as a REIT,  as defined in Section 856 of the
     Internal  Revenue Code. As a REIT, the Company is not taxed on that portion
     of its taxable  income which is distributed  to its  shareholders  provided
     that the Company meets certain tests. The Company believes it has met these
     tests  during 1997,  1996 and 1995;  accordingly,  no provision  for income
     taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements.

          Financial instruments
          ---------------------
          For  purposes  of  financial  statement   presentation,   the  Company
     considers all highly liquid debt  instruments  purchased with a maturity of
     three months or less to be cash equivalents.

          The carrying  amount of cash and cash  equivalents  and mortgage notes
     receivable  approximates  fair value  because with respect to cash and cash
     equivalents  maturities  are less than three months and with respect to the
     mortgage notes  receivable  applicable  interest rates  approximate  market
     rates for these loans.  The  carrying  amount of the  Company's  fixed rate
     long-term debt is estimated  using  discounted  cash flow analyses based on
     incremental  borrowing  rates the  Company  believes  it could  obtain with
     similar terms and maturities.

          Real estate facilities
          ----------------------
          Real estate facilities are recorded at cost.  Depreciation is computed
     using the  straight-line  method  over the  estimated  useful  lives of the
     buildings and improvements, which are generally between 5 and 25 years.

          Allowance for possible losses
          -----------------------------
          The Company has no allowance  for possible  losses  relating to any of
     its  real  estate   investments,   long-lived  assets  and  mortgage  notes
     receivable.  The need for such an allowance is evaluated by  management  by
     means of periodic reviews of its investment portfolio.

          Intangible assets
          -----------------
          Intangible   assets   consist   of   property   management   contracts
     ($165,000,000)  and the  cost  over  the fair  value  of net  tangible  and
     identifiable  intangible assets ($67,726,000)  acquired in the PSMI Merger.
     Intangible  assets are amortized  straight-line  over 25 years. At December
     31, 1997 and 1996, intangible assets are net of accumulated amortization of
     $19,782,000 and  $10,473,000,  respectively.  Included in depreciation  and
     amortization  expense  is  $9,309,000  in  1997,  $9,309,000  in  1996  and
     $1,164,000 in 1995 (for the period from November 16, 1995 through  December
     31, 1995) related to the amortization of intangible assets.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                December 31, 1997

          Revenue and expense recognition
          -------------------------------
          Property  rents are  recognized as earned.  Equity in earnings of real
     estate entities are recognized based on the Company's ownership interest in
     the  earnings  of  each  of  the   unconsolidated   real  estate  entities.
     Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

          Environmental costs
          -------------------
          The Company'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.  The  majority  of the
     Company's  real estate  facilities  were acquired prior to the time that it
     was  customary  to conduct  environmental  assessments.  During  1995,  the
     Company and the Consolidated Entities conducted  independent  environmental
     investigations  of their  real  estate  facilities.  As a  result  of these
     investigations,  the Company recorded an amount which, in management's best
     estimate and based upon  independent  analysis,  was  sufficient to satisfy
     anticipated costs of known remediation requirements.  At December 31, 1995,
     the Company  accrued  $2,741,000  for estimated  environmental  remediation
     costs.  Similar to the Company,  real estate  entities in which the Company
     accounts for using the equity method recorded environmental accruals at the
     end of 1995. The Company's pro rata share, based on its ownership interest,
     totaled  $510,000  and is  included  in "Equity in  earnings of real estate
     entities" in 1995.  Although there can be no assurance,  the Company is not
     aware of any  environmental  contamination  of any of its facilities  which
     individually or in the aggregate would be material to the Company's overall
     business, financial condition, or results of operations.

          Net income per common share
          ---------------------------
          In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
     128,  Earning per Share.  Statement 128 replaced the calculation of primary
     and fully  diluted  net income per share with basic and  diluted net income
     per share.  Unlike primary net income per share, basic net income per share
     excludes  any  dilutive  effects  of  options,   warrants  and  convertible
     securities.  Diluted net income per share is very similar to the previously
     reported  fully  diluted  net income  per  share.  All net income per share
     amounts for all periods have been presented and where appropriate, restated
     to conform to Statement 128 requirements.

          Diluted  net income per common  share is computed  using the  weighted
     average common shares outstanding (adjusted for stock options). The Class B
     Common Stock is not included in the  determination of net income per common
     share because all contingencies required for the conversion to common stock
     have not been satisfied as of December 31, 1997. In addition, the inclusion
     of the Company's  convertible  preferred stock in the  determination of net
     income per common share has been determined to be anti-dilutive.

          In computing  earnings per common  share,  preferred  stock  dividends
     totaling  $88,393,000,  $68,599,000  and  $31,124,000  for the years  ended
     December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, reduced income available to
     common stockholders.

          Stock-based compensation
          ------------------------
          In  October  1995,  the FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  123  "Accounting  for
     Stock-Based  Compensation"  ("Statement  123") which provides  companies an
     alternative to accounting for stock-based  compensation as prescribed under
     APB Opinion No. 25 (APB 25). Statement 123 encourages, but does not require
     companies to recognize  expense for stock-based  awards based on their fair
     value at date of grant.  Statement  123 allows  companies  to  continue  to
     follow  existing  accounting  rules  (intrinsic  value method under APB 25)
     provided  that  pro-forma  disclosures  are  made of what  net  income  and
     earnings per share would have been had the new fair value method been used.
     The Company has elected to adopt the disclosure  requirements  of Statement
     123 but will continue to account for stock-based compensation under APB 25.
     Statement  123's  disclosure  requirements  are  applicable to  stock-based
     awards granted in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994.

          Reclassifications
          -----------------
          Certain  reclassification have been made to the consolidated financial
     statements  for the  years  ended  December  31,  1996 and 1995 in order to
     conform with the 1997 presentation.

          Mergers with affiliated REITs
          -----------------------------
          During  1997,  the  Company  completed  merger  transactions  with six
     affiliated  public REITs whereby the Company  acquired all the  outstanding
     stock of the REITs which it did not previously own in exchange for cash and
     common  stock  of the  Company.  The  aggregate  acquisition  cost of these

          During 1996,  the Company  completed  merger  transactions  with eight
     affiliated  public REITs whereby the Company  acquired all the  outstanding
     stock of the REITs for an aggregate cost of $356,835,000, consisting of the
     issuance of 8,839,181 shares of the Company's common stock  ($204,932,000),
     $79,461,000  reduction  of  the  Company's   pre-existing   investment  and
     $72,442,000 in cash.

          Affiliated Partnership acquisitions:
          ------------------------------------
          During 1997,  the Company  increased its ownership  interest in twelve
     affiliated  limited  partnerships  in  which  the  Company  is the  general
     partner.  Prior  to  the  acquisitions,   the  Company  accounted  for  its
     investment in each of the twelve partnerships using the equity method. As a
     result of increasing  its ownership  interest and obtaining  control of the
     partnerships,  the  Company  began  to  consolidate  the  accounts  of  the
     partnerships  in the Company's  consolidated  financial  statements.  These
     transactions are summarized as follows:

     Company  began  to  consolidate  the  accounts  of these  partnerships  for
     financial  statement  purposes.  The  aggregate  amount  of  the  interests
     acquired totaled $145,270,000  consisting of the issuance of $58,955,000 of

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                December 31, 1997

          Commencing  in  1995,  the  Company  began to  construct  self-storage
     facilities   and  in  1997  PSPUD   commenced   construction   of  portable
     self-storage facilities. Through December 31, 1997, the Company constructed
     and opened for operation seven self-storage facilities,  one of which began
     operations  in  August  1995,  four in 1996  and two in 1997.  Included  in
     construction  in  progress at December  31, 1997  are costs  related to the
     construction of four self-storage  facilities and ten portable self-storage
     facilities  and an additional  17  self-storage  facilities  and 5 portable
     self-storage facilities planned for development.

          A substantial  number of the real estate  facilities  acquired  during
     1997,  1996 and 1995 were  acquired  from  affiliates  in  connection  with
     business  combinations with an aggregate  acquisition cost of approximately
     $657,347,000, $531,794,000 and $230,519,000 respectively.

          In April 1997,  the Company and a state  pension  fund created a joint
     venture  partnership  for the purpose of  developing  up to $220 million of
     self-storage  facilities.  The Company owns 30% of the partnership interest
     and the state pension fund owns the  remaining 70% interest.  In connection
     with  the  formation  of  the  joint  venture   partnership,   the  Company
     contributed  8  self-storage  facilities  ($30,406,000),  which  were under
     construction,  to  the  joint  venture  partnership  in  exchange  for  its
     partnership  interest.  The  Company's  investment  in  the  joint  venture
     partnership is accounted for using the equity method (See Note 5).

          At December 31, 1997, the adjusted basis of real estate facilities for
     Federal income tax purposes was approximately  $2.3 billion which is net of
     accumulated depreciation of $733 million.

 5.  Investments in real estate entities
     -----------------------------------
          During 1997 and 1996, the Company's investment in real estate entities
     decreased  principally  as a result of  business  combinations  whereby the
     Company  eliminated  approximately  $189.4  million  and $124.7  million of
     pre-existing  equity  in  real  estate  entity  investments,  respectively.
     Offsetting  these  decreases are  additional  investments in numerous other
     unconsolidated  affiliates  for $46.2 million and $83.9 million in 1997 and
     1996, respectively, in cash.

          During 1995, the Company (i) acquired limited and general  partnership
     interests in 47  partnerships  and common  stock in 16 REITs in  connection
     with the PSMI Merger at an aggregate  cost of  $389,686,000,  (ii) acquired
     additional  interests  in some of the same  partnerships  and  REITs for an
     aggregate cost of $23,953,000,  consisting of common stock ($4,034,000) and
     cash  ($19,919,000),  and (iii)  reclassified  investments in  partnerships
     which commencing in 1995 are consolidated with the Company ($4,464,000).

          At  December  31,  1997,  the  Company's  investments  in real  estate
     entities  consist  generally  of  ownership   interests  in  29  affiliated
     partnerships  and  common  stock  in 2  affiliated  REITs.  Such  interests
     consists of  ownership  interests  of less than 50% and are  accounted  for
     using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, earnings are recognized
     by the Company based upon the Company's  ownership  interest in each of the
     partnerships  and  REITs.  Provisions  of the  governing  documents  of the
     partnerships   and  REITs  provide  for  the  payment  of  preferred   cash
     distributions to other investors (until certain specified amounts have been
     paid)  without  regard to the pro rata  interest  of  investors  in current
     earnings.

          During 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company  recognized  earnings from its
     investments of $17,569,000,  $22,121,000 and $3,763,000,  respectively, and
     received  cash   distributions   totaling   $15,673,000,   $27,326,000  and
     $5,580,000,  respectively.  Included  in equity in  earnings of real estate
     entities for 1997,  1996 and 1995 is the  Company's  share of  depreciation

          As indicated  above,  in April 1997,  the Company and a state  pension
     fund formed a joint venture partnership for the purpose of developing up to
     $220 million of self-storage facilities. As of December 31, 1997, the joint
     venture had completed construction on seven self-storage  facilities with a
     total cost of  approximately  $40.8  million,  and had 17 facilities  under
     construction with an aggregate cost incurred to date of approximately $48.9
     million and total  additional  estimated cost to complete of $29.3 million.
     The venture is funded solely with equity capital consisting of 30% from the
     Company and 70% from the state pension fund.


 6.  Revolving line of credit
     ------------------------
          As of December  31,  1997,  the Company had  borrowings  of $7 million
     (none at March 27, 1998) on its unsecured  credit agreement with a group of
     commercial  banks.  The credit  agreement  (the  "Credit  Facility")  has a
     borrowing  limit of $150 million and an  expiration  date of July 31, 2001.
     The expiration date may be extended by one year on each  anniversary of the
     credit agreement. Interest on outstanding borrowings is payable monthly. At
     the option of the Company, the rate of interest charged is equal to (i) the
     prime rate or (ii) a rate  ranging from the London  Interbank  Offered Rate
     ("LIBOR") plus 0.40% to LIBOR plus 1.10% depending on the Company's  credit
     ratings and  coverage  ratios,  as  defined.  In  addition,  the Company is
     required  to pay a  quarterly  commitment  fee of 0.250% (per annum) of the
     unused  portion of the Credit  Facility.  The  Credit  Facility  allows the
     Company,  at its  option,  to  request  the group of banks to  propose  the
     interest  rate they would charge on specific  borrowings  not to exceed $50
     million; however, in no case may the interest rate proposal be greater than
     the amount provided by the Credit Facility.

          Under covenants of the Credit Facility, the Company is required to (i)
     maintain a balance  sheet  leverage  ratio of less than 0.40 to 1.00,  (ii)
     maintain net income of not less than $1.00 for each fiscal  quarter,  (iii)
     maintain certain cash flow and interest coverage ratios (as defined) of not
     less  than  1.0 to 1.0 and 5.0 to 1.0,  respectively  and (iv)  maintain  a
     minimum total shareholders' equity (as defined).  In addition,  the Company
     is limited in its ability to incur  additional  borrowings  (the Company is

</TABLE>
          During 1995, in connection  with the PSMI Merger,  the Company assumed
     the 7.08% unsecured senior notes payable. The senior notes require interest
     and  principal   payments  to  be  paid   semi-annually  and  have  various
     restrictive covenants, all of which have been met at December 31, 1997.

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

          Mortgage  notes payable are secured by 26 of the Company's real estate
     facilities  having an aggregate net book value of $60.5 million at December
     31, 1997.

          Interest paid  (including  interest  related to the  borrowings on the
     Credit Facility) during 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $8,884,000, $10,312,000 and
     $8,595,000,  respectively. In addition, in 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company
     capitalized   interest  totaling   $2,428,000,   $1,861,000  and  $307,000,
     respectively, related to construction of real estate facilities.

8.  Minority interest
    -----------------
          In consolidation,  the Company  classifies  ownership  interests other
     than its own in the net  assets  of each of the  Consolidated  Entities  as
     minority  interest  on  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  Minority
     interest  in  income  consists  of the  minority  interests'  share  of the
     operating results of the Company relating to the consolidated operations of
     the Consolidated Entities.

          During 1997, the Company acquired limited partnership interests in the
     Consolidated  Entities in several  transactions  for an  aggregate  cost of
     $21,559,000.  These  transactions  had  the  effect  of  reducing  minority
     interest by  approximately  $12,655,000  (the historical book value of such
     interests in the underlying net assets of the partnerships).  The excess of
     the cost over the underlying book value  ($8,904,000) has been allocated to
     real estate  facilities  in  consolidation.  In 1996 and 1995,  the Company
     acquired  interests in the  Consolidated  Entities at an aggregate  cost of
     $15,419,000 and $32,683,000,  respectively,  reducing  minority interest by
     approximately $8,193,000 and $32,906,000,  respectively. The excess of cost
     over  underlying  book values was  allocated to real estate  facilities  in
     consolidation.

          During 1997,  the Private  REIT issued  shares of its common stock and
     the  Operating  Partnership  issued  limited  partnership  units  to  third
     parties,  primarily  in  exchange  for real estate  facilities,  increasing
     minority interest approximately $117.1 million.

          During  1997,  1996 and 1995,  in  connection  with  certain  business
     combinations  (Note 3) minority  interest  was  increased  by  $74,068,000,
     $20,139,000  and  $17,034,000,  respectively,  representing  the  remaining
     partners'  equity interests in the aggregate net assets of the Consolidated
     Entities.

9.  Property management and advisory contracts
    ------------------------------------------
          Pursuant to the PSMI  Merger,  the  Company  became  self-advised  and
     self-managed,  accordingly,  effective  November 16,  1995,  the Company no
     longer incurs either advisory fees or property management fees.

          Prior to the PSMI Merger,  PSMI provided property  operation  services
     for a fee to the Company  under a management  agreement and an affiliate of
     PSMI administered the day-to-day  investment  operations for a fee pursuant
     to an advisory contract.  Pursuant to the management agreement,  PSMI or an

                                December 31, 1997

     affiliate  of PSMI  operated  all of the  properties  in which the  Company
     invested  in for a fee  which is equal to 6% of the gross  revenues  of the
     self-storage  facilities spaces managed and 5% of the gross revenues of the
     commercial  properties operated.  Management fees relating to the Company's
     real estate facilities, which are included in cost of operations,  amounted
     to $10,232,000 in 1995.  During 1995 (from January 1, 1995 through November
     16, 1995),  the Company paid advisory fees equal to $6,437,000  pursuant to
     the advisory contract.

          In  connection  with the PSMI Merger,  the Company  acquired  property
     management  contracts for (i)  self-storage  facilities owned by affiliated
     entities and, to a lesser extent,  third parties and (ii) through ownership
     in a subsidiary,  commercial properties. These facilities constitute all of
     the United States self-storage  facilities and commercial  properties doing
     business  under the "Public  Storage" name and, with the exception of third
     party  properties,  all  those in which the  Company  had an  interest.  At
     December 31, 1997, the Company managed 1,107  self-storage  facilities (894
     owned by consolidated  facilities,  179 owned by unconsolidated  affiliates
     and 34 owned by third parties) and 63 commercial properties were managed by
     the Operating Partnership (61 owned by consolidated affiliates  and 2 owned
     by unconsolidated affiliates).

          The property  management  contracts generally provide for compensation
     equal to 6%,  in the case of the  self-storage  facilities,  and 5%, in the
     case of the  commercial  properties  of gross  revenues  of the  facilities
     managed.  Under  the  supervision  of  the  property  owners,  the  Company
     coordinates rental policies,  rent collections,  marketing activities,  the
     purchase of equipment and supplies, maintenance activity, and the selection
     and  engagement  of vendors,  suppliers  and  independent  contractors.  In
     addition,   the  Company   assists  and  advises  the  property  owners  in
     establishing  policies for the hire, discharge and supervision of employees
     for  the  operation  of  these  facilities,  including  resident  managers,
     assistant managers, relief managers and billing and maintenance personnel.

     shares)  of its  Mandatory  Convertible  Preferred  Stock,  Series  CC (the
     "Series CC Preferred  Stock").  During the second  quarter of 1997, all the
     Series CC Convertible  Preferred Stock was converted into 2,184,250  shares
     of common stock.

          The Series A through Series J  (collectively  the  "Cumulative  Senior
     Preferred   Stock")  have  general   preference   rights  with  respect  to
     liquidation  and  quarterly  distributions.  With respect to the payment of
     dividends and amounts upon  liquidation,  all of the Company's  Convertible
     Preferred Stock ranks junior to the Cumulative  Senior  Preferred Stock and
     any other shares of preferred stock of the Company ranking on a parity with
     or  senior  to the  Cumulative  Senior  Preferred  Stock.  The  Convertible
     Preferred Stock ranks senior to the common stock,  any additional  class of
     common stock and any series of preferred stock expressly made junior to the
     Convertible Preferred Stock.

          Holders  of  the  Company's  preferred  stock,  except  under  certain
     conditions  and as  noted  above,  will  not be  entitled  to  vote on most
     matters.  In the event of a  cumulative  arrearage  equal to six  quarterly
     dividends  or failure to maintain a Debt Ratio (as defined) of 50% or less,

     holders of all  outstanding  series of preferred  stock (voting as a single
     class without regard to series) will have the right to elect two additional

     in whole or in part, at $25 per share (or  depositary  share in the case of
     the Series H, Series I and Series J), plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

          The  Convertible  Preferred  Stock is  convertible  at any time at the
     option of the  holders of such stock into  shares of the  Company's  common
     stock at a conversion  rate of 1.6835 shares of common stock for each share
     of  Convertible   Preferred   Stock,   subject  to  adjustment  in  certain
     circumstances.  On or after July 1,  1998,  the  Convertible  Stock will be
     redeemable  for shares of the  Company's  common stock at the option of the
     Company,  in whole or in part,  at a redemption  price of 1.6835  shares of
     common stock for each share of Convertible  Stock (subject to adjustment in
     certain  circumstances),  if for 20  trading  days  within any period of 30
     consecutive  trading days  (including the last trading day of such period),
     the  closing  price of the common  stock on its  principal  trading  market
     exceeds $14.85 per share (subject to adjustment in certain  circumstances).

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                December 31, 1997


          At December 31, 1997, the Company had 5,155,238 shares of common stock
     reserved in connection  with the Company's stock option plans (Note 11) and
     10,589,662  shares of  common  stock  reserved  for the  conversion  of the
     Convertible Preferred Stock and the Class B Common Stock.

          From  January  1, 1998  through  March 2,  1998,  the  Company  issued
     approximately  6.4 million  shares of common stock  raising an aggregate of
     approximately  $189  million.  The Company  intends to use the net proceeds
     from  this  offering  to make  investments  in real  estate  and  fund  the
     activities of its portable self-storage operations.

          Class B Common Stock
          --------------------
          The  Class B Common  Stock  was  issued  in  connection  with the PSMI
     Merger. Under the terms of the merger agreement,  the issuance of the Class
     B Common Stock was subject to certain  conditions  which were  satisfied in
     December  1995 and the Class B Common  Stock was issued on January 2, 1996.
     The Company has  reflected  the Class B Common Stock as  outstanding  as of
     December 31, 1995.

          The Class B Common  Stock will (i) not  participate  in  distributions
     until the later to occur of funds from operations  ("FFO") per Common Share
     as defined below,  aggregating  $1.80 during any period of four consecutive
     calendar quarters, or January 1, 2000; thereafter, the Class B Common Stock
     will participate in distributions  (other than liquidating  distributions),
     at the rate of 97% of the per  share  distributions  on the  Common  Stock,
     provided that  cumulative  distributions  of at least $0.22 per quarter per
     share  have  been  paid  on the  Common  Stock,  (ii)  not  participate  in
     liquidating  distributions,  (iii)  not be  entitled  to  vote  (except  as
     expressly required by California law) and (iv)  automatically  convert into
     Common  Stock,  on a share for share basis,  upon the later to occur of FFO
     per Common Share  aggregating  $3.00 during any period of four  consecutive
     calendar quarters or January 1, 2003.

          For  these  purposes  FFO,  means  net  income  (loss)   (computed  in
     accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles) before (i) gain
     (loss) on early  extinguishment  of debt, (ii) minority  interest in income
     and (iii) gain (loss) on disposition  of real estate,  adjusted as follows:
     (i) plus  depreciation and amortization  (including the Company's  pro-rata
     share of depreciation and amortization of  unconsolidated  equity interests
     and  amortization  of assets  acquired  in the Merger,  including  property
     management  agreements and  goodwill),  and (ii) less FFO  attributable  to
     minority interest.  For these purposes, FFO per Common Share means FFO less
     preferred  stock dividends  (other than dividends on convertible  preferred
     stock) divided by the outstanding  weighted  average shares of Common Stock
     assuming conversion of all outstanding convertible securities and the Class
     B Common Stock.

          For these  purposes,  FFO per share of Common  Stock (as  defined) was
     $1.85 for the year ended December 31, 1997.

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

          In June 1997, the Company contributed  $22,500,000 (225,000 shares) of
     its Equity Stock,  Series A ("Equity  Stock") to a partnership in which the
     Company  is the  general  partner.  As a result of this  contribution,  the
     Company  obtained a controlling  interest in the  Partnership  and began to
     consolidate  the accounts of the Partnership and therefore the equity stock
     is  eliminated  in  consolidation.  The Equity Stock ranks on a parity with
     Common Stock and junior to the Company's  Cumulative Senior Preferred Stock
     and Convertible  Preferred Stock with respect to general  preference rights
     and has a  liquidation  amount of ten times the amount  paid to each Common
     Share up to a maximum of $100 per share. Quarterly  distributions per share
     on the Equity Stock are equal to the lesser of (i) 10 times the amount paid
     per Common Stock or (ii) $2.20.

          Dividends
          ---------
          The  characterization  of dividends for Federal income tax purposes is
     made based upon  earnings  and  profits of the  Company,  as defined by the
     Internal  Revenue  Code.  Distributions  declared by the Board of Directors
     (including  distributions  to the holders of preferred stock) in 1997, 1996
     and 1995 were characterized as ordinary income.

          The following  summarizes  dividends  paid during 1997,  1996 and 1995
     (with the  exception of the Series G Preferred  Stock  distributions  which
     were accrued and unpaid at December 31, 1995):

          The  dividend  rate  on the  Series  C  Preferred  Stock  is  adjusted

     (Treasury  Bill Rate,  Ten Year  Constant  Maturity  Rate,  and Thirty Year
     Constant Maturity Rate) multiplied by 110%. However,  the dividend rate for
     any dividend  period will not be less than 6.75% per annum nor greater than
     10.75% per annum.  The dividend  rate with respect to the first  quarter of
     1998 will be equal to 6.75% per annum.

          The Mandatory Convertible  Participating Preferred Stock was issued in
     connection with the acquisition of all of the limited partnership interests
     in a real estate limited partnership in 1995. Dividends with respect to the
     Mandatory  Convertible  Participating  Preferred Stock varied  depending on
     operating   results  of  the  underlying  real  estate  facilities  of  the
     partnership.  During June 1996,  the  Mandatory  Convertible  Participating
     Preferred Stock was exchanged for common stock of the Company.

     employees and service  providers to purchase shares of the Company's common
     stock at a price equal to the fair market  value of the common stock at the
     date of grant.  Generally,  options  under the Plans vest over a three-year
     period from the date of grant at the rate of one-third  per year and expire
     (i) under the 1990 Plan, five years after the date they became  exercisable
     and (ii)  under the 1994 Plan and 1996  Plan,  ten years  after the date of
     grant.  The 1996 Plan also  provides for the grant of  restricted  stock to
     officers,  key employees and service  providers on terms  determined by the
     Audit  Committee of the Board of Directors;  no shares of restricted  stock
     have been granted.

          Information  with  respect  to the  Plans  during  1997 and 1996 is as

         In 1996, the Company adopted the disclosure  requirement  provision of
     SFAS 123 in accounting for stock-based compensation issued to employees. As
     of December 31, 1997 and 1996 there were  1,412,734 and  1,391,500  options
     outstanding,  respectively,  that  were  subject  to  SFAS  123  disclosure
     requirements.  The fair  value of these  options  was  estimated  utilizing
     prescribed  valuation  models and assumptions as of each  respective  grant
     date.  Based on the results of such estimates,  management  determined that
     there was no material  effect on net income or  earnings  per share for the
     years ended  December 31, 1997 and 1996.  The remaining  contractual  lives
     were 7.9 years and 8.6 years, respectively, at December 31, 1997 and 1996.

12.  Events subsequent to December 31, 1997
     --------------------------------------
          On January 21, 1998, the Private REIT entered into an agreement with a
     group of unaffiliated institutional investors under which it would issue up
     to $155,000,000 of common stock. An initial $50,000,000 of common stock was
     issued  on  January  21,  1998 upon the  closing  of the  transaction.  The
     remaining $105,000,000 of common stock will be issued as funds are required
     to purchase commercial properties.

          In connection  with the merger of the Private REIT into Public Storage
     Properties  XI,  Inc. on March 17, 1998 (the  surviving  entity  renamed PS
     Business Parks,  Inc. - "PSBP"). PSBP exchanged 13 self-storage  facilities
     for 11 commercial  properties owned by the Company.  Upon completion of the
     merger, the Company and its Consolidated  Entities owned  approximately 58%
     of PSBP and the Operating  Partnership on a combined  basis. As a result of
     the March 17, 1998 merger and the agreement to issue  additional  shares of

     common  stock to the group of  unaffiliated  institutional  investors,  the
     Company  believes  that its reduced  ownership  will no longer  warrant the
     consolidation  of these  entities  effective  March 31, 1998. The Company's
     consolidated   financial   statements  include  the  following   summarized
     condensed  financial data associated with the consolidation of PSBP and the
     Operating Partnership:

          In February 1998, Public Storage Properties XX, Inc. ("Properties 20")
     agreed, subject to certain conditions,  to merge with and into the Company.
     Properties 20 is an affiliated  publicly  traded equity REIT. The merger is
     conditioned on approval by the shareholders of Properties 20. The estimated
     value  of  the  Properties  20  merger  is  approximately   $23.3  million.
     Properties 20 owns 7 self-storage facilities  (approximately 402,000 square
     feet)  located in five  states.  At December 31,  1997,  the Company  owned
     approximately  24% of Properties 20. The Company  expects that, if approved
     by the  Properties  20  shareholders,  the merger would be completed in the
     second quarter of 1998.

13.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     --------------------------------
          In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
     Statement   of  Financial   Accounting   Standards   No.  130,   "Reporting
     Comprehensive   Income"  ("FAS  130"),  which  establishes   standards  for
     reporting  and display of  comprehensive  income and its  components.  This
     statement  requires  a  separate  statement  to report  the  components  of
     comprehensive  income for each  period  reported.  The  provisions  of this
     statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
     The Company will  implement FAS 130 for the fiscal year ended  December 31,
     1998, but the Company does not expect the impact of FAS 130 to be material.

          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 in
     annual  financial  statements  and requires that those  enterprises  report
     selected  information about operating segments in interim financial reports
     issued  to   shareholders.   This  statement  is  effective  for  financial
     statements for periods  beginning after December 15, 1997.  Management does
     not  expect  FAS  131 to  have a  significant  impact  upon  the  Company's
     reporting presentation.

14.  Commitments and Contingencies
     -----------------------------

          Lease obligations
          -----------------
          Each of the 49  facilities  operated by PSPUD as of December  31, 1997
     are located in buildings  leased from third parties.  The lease terms range
     from four to nine years with  renewal  options  at  varying  terms.  Future
     minimum lease payments at December 31, 1997 under noncancellable  operating
     leases are as follows:

                                                    ============

          Legal proceedings
          -----------------
          During 1997,  three cases were filed against the Company.  Each of the
     plaintiffs  in these  cases is suing the  Company on behalf of a  purported
     class of California  tenants who rented storage spaces from the Company and
     contends  that the  Company's  fees  for late  payments  under  its  rental
     agreements  for  storage  space  constitutes   unlawful  "penalties"  under
     California  law. None of the  plaintiffs  has assigned any dollar amount to
     the claims.

          The lower court has  dismissed  one of the cases and the  plaintiff in
     that case is in the process of appealing that dismissal.  The plaintiffs in
     the other two cases have voluntarily dismissed their cases, reserving their
     rights to refile  their  cases.  The Company is  continuing  to  vigorously
     contest the claims in all three cases.

          There are no other material proceedings pending against the Company or
     any of its subsidiaries.

        2.23  "Stock"  means the  shares of common  stock,  par value  $0.10 per
share, of the Company.

        2.24 "Stock Option  Agreement" means the written  agreement  between the
Company and an Optionee that  evidences and sets out the terms and conditions of

terminate or expire, as defined in Section 10.2 hereof.

        3.      ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

        3.1 General. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee.  The Board
may remove members,  add members,  and fill vacancies on the Committee from time
to time,  all in accordance  with the Company's  articles of  incorporation  and
by-laws,  and with applicable law;  provided  however,  that at all times,  each
member of the  Committee  shall  qualify  in all  respects  as a  "disinterested
person" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

        3.2 (a) Action by Committee. Subject to clause (c) hereof, the Committee
shall have such powers and authorities related to the administration of the Plan
as are consistent with the Company's  articles of incorporation  and by-laws and
applicable  law. The  Committee  shall have the full power and authority to take
all actions and to make all  determinations  required or provided  for under the
Plan, any Grant awarded  hereunder,  or any Stock Option Agreement  entered into
hereunder,  and shall have the full power and  authority  to take all such other
actions  and  determinations  not  inconsistent  with  the  specific  terms  and
provisions of the Plan that the Committee  deems to be necessary or  appropriate
to the  administration  of the Plan, any Grant awarded  hereunder,  or any Stock
Option  Agreement  entered into hereunder.  All such actions and  determinations
shall be by the  affirmative  vote of a majority of the members of the Committee
present  at a meeting  or by  unanimous  consent of the  Committee  executed  in
writing in accordance with the Company's  articles of incorporation and by-laws,
and with applicable law. The interpretation and construction by the Committee of
any  provision  of the  Plan,  any Grant  made  hereunder,  or any Stock  Option
Agreement entered into hereunder shall be final and conclusive.

                (b) Grants of Options.  Subject to the terms and  conditions  of
the Plan,  the Committee  may, at any time and from time to time,  grant to such
eligible persons as the Committee may determine, Options to purchase such number
of shares of Stock on such terms and  conditions as the Committee may determine,
including any terms or conditions which may be necessary to qualify such Options
as Incentive Stock Options. Such authority  specifically includes the authority,
in order to effectuate  the purposes of the Plan but without  amending the Plan,
to modify  grants to  eligible  individuals  who are  foreign  nationals  or are
individuals who are employed outside the United States to recognize  differences
in local law, tax policy, or custom.

                                        3

                (c)  Grants to  Outside  Directors.  With  respect  to Grants to
Outside  Directors  awarded  pursuant to Section 6.1(c) hereof,  the Committee's
responsibilities  under the Plan shall be  limited  to taking all legal  actions
necessary to document the Options so granted,  to maintain  appropriate  records
and reports  regarding  those Options,  and to take all acts  authorized by this
Plan or otherwise reasonably necessary to effect the purposes hereof.

        3.3 No Liability.  No member of the Board or of the  Committee  shall be
liable for any action or  determination  made in good faith with  respect to the
Plan or any Grant awarded or Stock Option Agreement entered into hereunder.

        3.4 Applicability of Rule 16b-3.  Those provisions of the Plan that make
express  reference  to Rule 16b-3  under the  Exchange  Act shall  apply only to
Reporting Persons.

        4.      STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

        Subject to adjustments  made pursuant to Section 16 hereof,  the maximum
number of shares of Stock  which may be issued  pursuant  to the Plan  shall not
exceed  1,150,000.  If any Option  expires,  terminates  or is canceled  for any
reason before it is exercised in full,  the shares of Stock that were subject to
the  unexercised  portion of the Option  shall be available  for future  Options
granted under the Plan.

        5.      EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN

        5.1  Effective  Date.  The  Plan  shall be  effective  as of the date of
adoption  by the Board,  subject to approval of the Plan within one year of such
Effective  Date,  by an  affirmative  vote of the  holders of a majority  of the
Shares  voting,  provided that the total votes cast  represent a majority of all
Shares  entitled to vote.  Upon approval of the Plan by the  shareholders of the
Company as set forth above,  however, all Grants made under the Plan on or after
the  Effective  Date  shall be fully  effective  as if the  shareholders  of the
Company had approved the Plan on the Plan's  Effective Date. If the shareholders
fail to approve the Plan within one year after such  Effective  Date, any Grants
made hereunder shall be null and void and of no effect.

        5.2 Term. The Plan has no termination date, provided,  however,  that no
Incentive  Stock Option may be granted on or after the tenth  anniversary of the
Effective Date.

        6.      ELIGIBLE PERSONS; GRANT OF OPTIONS

        6.1 Subject in each case to Section 6.2 hereof:

                (a)  Company  or   Subsidiary   Employees.   Grants  of  Options
(including  Incentive  Stock Options) may be made under the Plan to any employee
of the  Company  or any  Subsidiary  (including  any such  individual  who is an
officer or director of the Company or any  Subsidiary)  as the  Committee  shall
determine and designate from time to time.

                (b) Service Providers. Grants of Options (which, with respect to
Service  Providers who are not employees of Subsidiaries  of the Company,  shall
not be  Incentive  Stock  Options)  may be made  under  the Plan to any  Service
Provider whose participation in the Plan is determined by the Committee to be in
the best interests of the Company and is so designated by the Committee.

                (c) Outside  Directors.  (i) Commencing on the Effective Date of
the Plan, each new Outside  Director shall,  upon the date of his or her initial

                                        4
<PAGE>

election by the Board or the  shareholders of the Company to serve as an Outside
Director,  automatically  be  awarded  a Grant of  Options,  which  shall not be
Incentive Stock Options,  to purchase 15,000 shares of Stock (which amount shall
be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 16 hereof).

                        (ii)   Commencing  with  the  first  Annual  Meeting  of
Shareholders  of the Company held after the Effective  Date, on the date of such
Annual  Meeting of  Shareholders,  each Outside  Director  then duly elected and
serving shall  automatically  be awarded a Grant of Options,  which shall not be
Incentive  Stock Options,  to purchase 2,500 shares of Stock (which amount shall
be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 16 hereof);  provided,  however,
that no Outside  Director  shall be eligible to receive a Grant of Options under
this  Section  6.1(c)(ii)  unless  such  person  has  attended,  in person or by
telephone,  at least  seventy-five  percent  of the  meetings  held by the Board
during the immediately preceding calendar year.

                (d) Successive  Grants. An eligible person may receive more than
one Grant, subject to such restrictions as are provided herein.

        6.2 Ineligible Persons. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions,
no Grants may be made under the Plan to B. Wayne Hughes.

        7.      LIMITATIONS ON OPTIONS

        7.1 Limitation on Shares of Stock Subject to Options. The maximum number
of shares of Stock  subject to Options that can be awarded under the Plan to any
person  eligible  for a Grant under  Section 6, is 575,000  during the first ten
years after the Effective Date of the Plan and 57,500 per year thereafter.

        7.2 Limitations on Incentive Stock Options.  An Option shall  constitute
an Incentive Stock Option only (i) if the Optionee is an employee of the Company
or any Subsidiary of the Company;  (ii) to the extent  specifically  provided in
the related  Stock Option  Agreement  entered into  hereunder;  and (iii) to the
extent that the aggregate  Fair Market Value  (determined at the time the Option
is granted) of the shares of Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options
are  exercisable  for the first time by any Optionee  during any  calendar  year
(under the Plan and all other plans of the  Optionee's  employer  and its parent
and Subsidiary)  does not exceed  $100,000.  This limitation shall be applied by
taking Options into account in the order in which they were granted.

        8.      OPTION PRICE

        The  Option  Price  shall be fixed by the  Committee  and stated in each
Stock Option  Agreement.  The Option Price shall be the Fair Market Value of the
shares of Stock on the Grant Date of the Option; provided,  however, that in the
event an Optionee  would  otherwise be ineligible to receive an Incentive  Stock
Option by reason of the provisions of Sections  422(b)(6) and 424(d) of the Code
(relating to stock  ownership of more than ten percent),  the Option Price of an
Option that is intended to be an  Incentive  Stock Option shall be not less than
the greater of par value or 110  percent of the Fair Market  Value of a share of
Stock at the time such Option is granted.  In no case shall the Option  Price be
less than the par value of a share of Stock.

        9.      STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

        Each Grant of Options pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock
Option  Agreement,  to be executed by the Company and by the  Optionee,  in such

                                        5
<PAGE>

form or forms as the Committee shall from time to time  determine.  Stock Option
Agreements  covering  Options granted from time to time or at the same time need
not  contain  similar  provisions;  provided,  however,  that each Stock  Option
Agreement shall specify  whether the Options granted  thereunder are intended to
be  non-qualified  stock  options or Incentive  Stock  Options and that all such
Stock Option Agreements shall comply with all terms of the Plan.

        10.     VESTING, TERM AND EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

        10.1 Vesting and Option  Period.  For each Grant,  Options  shall become
exercisable in accordance  with the following  schedule:  (i) prior to the first
anniversary of the Grant Date, no Options shall be exercisable;  (ii) commencing
on the first anniversary and up to (but not including) the second anniversary of
the Grant Date, one-third of the Options shall be exercisable;  (iii) commencing
on the second anniversary and up to (but not including) the third anniversary of
the  Grant  Date,  two-thirds  of the  Options  shall  be  exercisable  and (iv)
commencing  on the  third  anniversary  of the  Grant  Date,  and up to (but not
including) the Termination  Date, as defined in Section 10.2 hereof,  all of the
Options  shall be  exercisable.  For purposes of this Section  10.1,  fractional
numbers of Options shall be rounded down to the next nearest  whole number.  The
period  during  which any Option shall be  exercisable  in  accordance  with the
foregoing  schedule shall  constitute  the "Option  Period" with respect to such
Option.

        10.2 Term.  Each Option  granted under the Plan shall  terminate and all
rights to purchase shares of Stock thereunder shall cease upon the expiration of
ten years from the date such Option is granted,  or under such circumstances and
on such date prior  thereto as may be fixed by the  Committee  and stated in the
Stock  Option  Agreement  relating  to such  Option  (the  "Termination  Date");
provided,  however, that in the event the Optionee would otherwise be ineligible
to receive an  Incentive  Stock Option by reason of the  provisions  of Sections
422(b)(6) and 424(d) of the Code  (relating to stock  ownership of more than ten
percent), an Option granted to such Optionee that is intended to be an Incentive
Stock Option shall in no event be exercisable after the expiration of five years
from the date it is granted.

        10.3 Acceleration. Any limitation on the exercise of an Option contained
in any  Stock  Option  Agreement  may be  rescinded,  modified  or waived by the
Committee,  in its sole discretion,  at any time and from time to time after the
Grant Date of such Option,  so as to accelerate the time at which the Option may
be exercised.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, no Option shall
be exercisable in whole or in part prior to the date the Plan is approved by the
shareholders of the Company as provided above.

        10.4  Termination  of  Employment  or  Other   Relationship.   Upon  the
termination  (i) of the  employment of an Optionee with the Company or a Service
Provider;  (ii) of a Service Provider's  relationship with the Company; or (iii)
of an Outside  Director's  service to the  Company,  other than,  in the case of
individuals,  by reason of the death or "permanent and total disability" (within
the meaning of Section  22(e)(3)  of the Code),  at the close of business on the
thirtieth  day following  such  termination,  any Option  granted to an Optionee
pursuant to the Plan that (i) has not vested in accordance  with the  provisions
of Section 10.1 hereof or (ii) has vested in accordance  with the  provisions of
Section 10.1  hereof,  but has not been  exercised,  shall  terminate,  and such
Optionee shall have no further right to purchase shares pursuant to such Option.
Whether a leave of absence or leave on  military  or  government  service  shall
constitute  a  termination  of  employment  for  purposes of the Plan,  shall be
determined by the Committee,  which determination shall be final and conclusive.
For  purposes of the Plan, a  termination  of  employment  with the Company or a
Service  Provider  shall not be deemed to occur if the  Optionee is  immediately
thereafter  employed with the Company or any other Service Provider,  or engaged
as an  Outside  Director  of the  Company.  Whether a  termination  of a Service
Provider's  or an Outside  Director's  relationship  with the Company shall have
occurred  shall be determined by the  Committee,  which  determination  shall be
final and conclusive.

                                        6
<PAGE>

        10.5 Rights in the Event of Death. If an Optionee dies while employed by
the  Company or a Service  Provider,  or while a Service  Provider or an Outside
Director,  all Options  granted to such Optionee shall fully vest on the date of
death, and the executors or  administrators  or legatees or distributees of such
Optionee's  estate  shall have the right,  at any time within one year after the
date of such Optionee's death and prior to termination of the Option pursuant to
Section 10.2 above,  to exercise any Option held by such Optionee at the date of
such Optionee's  death,  whether or not such Option was exercisable  immediately
prior to such Optionee's death.

        10.6  Rights  in the  Event of  Disability.  If an  Optionee  terminates
employment with the Company or a Service Provider, or ceases to provide services
to the Company (if the Optionee is a Service Provider who is an individual or is
an Outside Director),  by reason of the "permanent and total disability" (within
the  meaning  of  Section  22(e)(3)  of the  Code) of such  Optionee,  then such
Optionee  shall  have  the  right,  at any  time  within  one  year  after  such
termination  of  employment  or service and prior to  termination  of the Option
pursuant to Section  10.2 above,  to exercise,  in whole or in part,  any Option
held by such Optionee at the date of such  termination of employment or service,
whether or not such Option was exercisable immediately prior to such termination
of  employment  or  service.  Whether  a  termination  of  employment  is  to be
considered by reason of "permanent  and total  disability"  for purposes of this
Plan shall be determined by the Committee,  which  determination  shall be final
and conclusive.

        10.7  Limitations on Exercise of Option.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing
Sections,  in no event may Options be exercised,  in whole or in part,  prior to
the date the Plan is  approved  by the  shareholders  of the Company as provided
herein,  or after ten years following the date upon which the Option is granted,
as set forth in Section 2 above, or after the occurrence of an event referred to
in Section 16.3 below which results in  termination  of the Option.  In no event
may the Option be exercised for a fractional share.

        10.8 Method of Exercise.  An Option that is exercisable hereunder may be
exercised  by the  Optionee's  delivery to the Company of written  notice of the
exercise  and the  number of  shares  of Stock  for  which  the  Option is being
exercised.  Such  delivery  shall occur on any  business  day, at the  Company's
principal office, addressed to the attention of the Committee. Such notice shall
specify the number of shares of Stock with  respect to which the Option is being
exercised and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price of the
shares for which the Option is being exercised.  The minimum number of shares of
Stock with respect to which an Option may be exercised,  in whole or in part, at
any time shall be the lesser of (i) 100 shares or such  lesser  number set forth
in the applicable  Stock Option  Agreement and (ii) the maximum number of shares
available for purchase under the Option at the time of exercise.  Payment of the
Option  Price for the shares  purchased  pursuant  to the  exercise of an Option
shall be made (i) in cash or in cash equivalents; (ii) through the tender to the
Company of shares of Stock,  which  shares  shall be  valued,  for  purposes  of
determining the extent to which the Option Price has been paid thereby, at their
Fair Market  Value on the date of  exercise;  or (iii) by a  combination  of the
methods  described in (i) and (ii).  The Committee may provide,  by inclusion of
appropriate  language in a Stock Option  Agreement,  that payment in full of the
Option  Price need not  accompany  the written  notice of exercise  provided the
notice of exercise  directs that the certificate or certificates  for the shares
of Stock for which the Option is exercised  be  delivered  to a licensed  broker
acceptable to the Company as the agent for the individual  exercising the Option
and, at the time such  certificate or  certificates  are  delivered,  the broker
tenders to the Company  cash (or cash  equivalents  acceptable  to the  Company)
equal to the Option  Price for the  shares of Stock  purchased  pursuant  to the
exercise  of the Option plus the amount (if any) of federal  and/or  other taxes
which the Company may in its  judgment,  be required to withhold with respect to
the exercise of the Option.  An attempt to exercise any Option granted hereunder
other  than as set forth  above  shall be  invalid  and of no force and  effect.
Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Stock Option Agreement,  an individual
holding or  exercising  an Option shall have none of the rights of a shareholder

                                        7
<PAGE>

(for example,  the right to receive cash or dividend  payments or  distributions
attributable  to the  subject  shares  of Stock or to direct  the  voting of the
subject  shares of Stock ) until the shares of Stock  covered  thereby are fully
paid and issued to him.  Except as provided in Section 16 below,  no  adjustment
shall be made for dividends,  distributions or other rights for which the record
date is prior to the date of such issuance.

        10.9  Transfer  of  Shares  of Stock to  Optionees.  Promptly  after the
exercise  of an Option by an  Optionee,  and the  payment  in full of the Option
Price of the shares of Stock covered thereby, such Optionee shall be entitled to
the  issuance  of a Stock  certificate  or  certificates  evidencing  his or her
ownership of such shares of Stock.

        11.     NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS

        Each Option  granted  pursuant to this Plan shall,  during an Optionee's
lifetime,  be exercisable  only by the Optionee,  and neither the Option nor any
right  thereunder  shall be  transferable by the Optionee by operation of law or
otherwise other than by will or the laws of descent and  distribution  and shall
not be pledged or hypothecated  (by operation of law or otherwise) or subject to
execution, attachment or similar processes.

        12.     USE OF PROCEEDS

        Cash  proceeds  realized  from the sale of shares of Stock  pursuant  to
Options granted under the Plan shall constitute general funds of the Company.

        13.     PARACHUTE LIMITATIONS

        Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of  this  Plan  or of any  other
agreement,  contract,  or understanding  heretofore or hereafter entered into by
the Optionee with the Company or any Subsidiary, except an agreement,  contract,
or  understanding  hereafter  entered into that  expressly  modifies or excludes
application of this paragraph (an "Other  Agreement"),  and  notwithstanding any
formal  or  informal  plan or  other  arrangement  for the  direct  or  indirect
provision  of  compensation  to the  Optionee  (including  groups or  classes of
participants or beneficiaries of which the Optionee is a member), whether or not
such compensation is deferred,  is in cash, or is in the form of a benefit to or
for the Optionee (a "Benefit  Arrangement"),  if the Optionee is a "disqualified
individual,"  as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code, any Option held by that
Optionee and any right to receive any payment or other  benefit  under this Plan
shall not become  exercisable  or vested  (i) to the  extent  that such right to
exercise,  vesting,  payment, or benefit,  taking into account all other rights,
payments,  or  benefits  to or for the  Optionee  under  this  Plan,  all  Other
Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements,  would cause any payment or benefit to
the Optionee under this Plan to be considered a "parachute  payment"  within the
meaning  of  Section  280G(b)(2)  of the Code as then in  effect  (a  "Parachute
Payment")  and (ii) if,  as a result  of  receiving  a  Parachute  Payment,  the
aggregate after-tax amounts received by the Optionee from the Company under this
Plan, all Other Agreements,  and all Benefit Arrangements would be less than the
maximum  after-tax amount that could be received by Optionee without causing any
such payment or benefit to be considered a Parachute Payment.  In the event that
the receipt of any such right to exercise,  vesting,  payment,  or benefit under
this Plan, in conjunction with all other rights, payments, or benefits to or for
the Optionee under any Other  Agreement or any Benefit  Arrangement  would cause
the Optionee to be considered  to have  received a Parachute  Payment under this
Plan that would have the effect of decreasing the after-tax  amount  received by
the  Optionee as described in clause (ii) of the  preceding  sentence,  then the
Optionee shall have the right, in the Optionee's sole  discretion,  to designate

                                        8
<PAGE>

those rights,  payments, or benefits under this Plan, any Other Agreements,  and
any Benefit  Arrangements  that should be reduced or  eliminated  so as to avoid
having the payment or benefit to the Optionee  under this Plan be deemed to be a
Parachute Payment.

        14.     REQUIREMENTS OF LAW

        14.1  General.  The  Company  shall not be required to sell or issue any
shares of Stock under any Grant if the sale or  issuance  of such  shares  would
constitute a violation by the Optionee, the individual exercising the Option, or
the  Company of any  provisions  of any law or  regulation  of any  governmental
authority,  including without limitation any federal or state securities laws or
regulations. If at any time the Company shall determine, in its discretion, that
the listing,  registration or  qualification of any shares subject to the Option
upon any  securities  exchange or under any  governmental  regulatory  body,  is
necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance or
purchase of shares  hereunder,  the Option may not be  exercised  in whole or in
part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall
have been  effected or obtained  free of any  conditions  not  acceptable to the
Company,  and any  delay  caused  thereby  shall  in no way  affect  the date of
termination of the Option.  Specifically  in connection  with the 1933 Act, upon
the exercise of any Option, unless a registration statement under such act is in
effect with respect to the shares of Stock covered by Option,  the Company shall
not be required to sell or issue such shares  unless the  Committee has received
evidence  satisfactory  to it that the holder of such  Option,  may acquire such
shares  pursuant  to  an  exemption  from  registration   under  such  act.  Any
determination in this connection by the Committee shall be final,  binding,  and
conclusive. The Company may, but shall in no event be obligated to, register any
securities  covered  hereby  pursuant to the 1933 Act. The Company  shall not be
obligated  to take any  affirmative  action in order to cause the exercise of an
Option or the  issuance of shares of Stock  pursuant  thereto to comply with any
law or regulation of any governmental  authority.  As to any  jurisdiction  that
expressly  imposes the requirement that an Option shall not be exercisable until
the shares of Stock  covered by such  Option are  registered  or are exempt from
registration, the exercise of such Option (under circumstances in which the laws
of such jurisdiction  apply) shall be deemed  conditioned upon the effectiveness
of such registration or the availability of such an exemption.

        14.2 Rule 16b-3.  It is the intent of the  Company  that this Plan is to
qualify for the exemption  provided by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. To the
extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee does not comply with
the  requirements of Rule 16b-3, it shall be deemed  inoperative,  to the extent
permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee, and shall not affect the
validity of the Plan. In the event Rule 16b-3 is revised or replaced,  the Board
may  exercise  its  discretion  to modify this Plan in any respect  necessary to
satisfy the requirements of the revised exemption or its replacement.

        15.     AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

        The Board may,  at any time and from time to time,  amend,  suspend,  or
terminate  the Plan as to any shares of Stock as to which  Grants  have not been
made;  provided,  however,  that the Board  shall not,  without  approval of the
Company's  shareholders,  amend the Plan such that it does not comply  with Rule
16b-3  under  the  Exchange  Act (or any  successor  rule  or  other  regulatory
requirements)  or the Code, or amend the Plan  provisions  relating to Grants to
Outside  Directors more often than once every six months,  other than to comport
with changes in the Code, the Employee  Retirement  Income  Security Act, or the
rules  thereunder.  The Company may retain the right in a Stock Option Agreement
to cause a  forfeiture  of the gain  realized  by an  Optionee on account of the
Optionee  taking  actions in  "competition  with the Company," as defined in the
applicable Stock Option Agreement.  Furthermore, the Company may annul the grant
of an Option if the Optionee was an employee of the Company or an affiliate  and
is terminated "for cause," as defined in the applicable Stock Option  Agreement.
Except as permitted  under this Section 15 or Section 16 hereof,  no  amendment,

                                        9
<PAGE>

suspension,  or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the holder
of the Option, alter or impair rights or obligations under any Grant theretofore
awarded under the Plan.

        16.     EFFECT OF CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION

        16.1 Changes in Stock.  If the number of outstanding  shares of Stock is
increased or decreased or the shares of Stock are changed into or exchanged  for
a  different  number or kind of shares or other  securities  of the  Company  on
account of any recapitalization,  reclassification,  stock split, reverse split,
combination of shares,  exchange of shares, stock dividend or other distribution
payable in capital stock,  or other increase or decrease in such shares effected
without receipt of  consideration  by the Company  occurring after the Effective
Date of the Plan,  the number and kinds of shares for the  acquisition  of which
Options  may be granted  under the Plan shall be  adjusted  proportionately  and
accordingly by the Company. In addition, the number and kind of shares for which
Options are  outstanding  shall be adjusted  proportionately  and accordingly so
that the proportionate interest of the Optionee immediately following such event
shall, to the extent practicable,  be the same as immediately before such event.
Any such adjustment in outstanding Options shall not change the aggregate Option
Price payable with respect to shares that are subject to the unexercised portion
of the  Option  outstanding  but  shall  include a  corresponding  proportionate
adjustment in the Option Price per share.

        16.2  Reorganization in Which the Company Is the Surviving Entity and in
Which No Change of  Control  Occurs.  Subject  to Section  16.3  hereof,  if the
Company  shall  be the  surviving  entity  in  any  reorganization,  merger,  or
consolidation  of the  Company  with  one or more  other  entities,  any  Option
theretofore  granted  pursuant  to the Plan  shall  pertain  to and apply to the
securities  to which a holder of the  number of shares of Stock  subject to such
Option  would have been  entitled  immediately  following  such  reorganization,
merger, or consolidation,  with a corresponding  proportionate adjustment of the
Option Price per share so that the aggregate  Option Price  thereafter  shall be
the same as the aggregate  Option Price of the shares  remaining  subject to the
Option immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, or consolidation.

        16.3  Reorganization,  Sale of Assets or Sale of Stock Which  Involves a
Change of Control.  Subject to the  exceptions set forth in the last sentence of
this Section 16.3, fifteen days prior to the scheduled  consummation of a Change
of  Control,   all  Options  outstanding   hereunder  shall  become  immediately
exercisable  and shall  remain  exercisable  for a period of fifteen  days.  Any
exercise of an Option during such  fifteen-day  period shall be conditioned upon
the  consummation  of  the  Change  of  Control  and  shall  be  effective  only
immediately before the consummation of the Change of Control.  Upon consummation
of any Change of Control,  the Plan and all outstanding but unexercised  Options
shall  terminate.  The Committee shall send written notice of an event that will
result in such a termination to all  individuals who hold Options not later than
the time at which the Company  gives  notice  thereof to its  shareholders.  For
purposes of this Section  16.3,  a "Change of Control"  shall be deemed to occur
upon  (i) the  dissolution  or  liquidation  of the  Company  or upon a  merger,
consolidation,  or reorganization of the Company with one or more other entities
in which the Company is not the surviving  entity,  (ii) a sale of substantially
all of the assets of the  Company to another  entity,  or (iii) any  transaction
(including without limitation a merger or reorganization in which the Company is
the surviving  corporation) which results in any person or entity (other than B.
Wayne Hughes and members of his family and their affiliates)  owning 50% or more
of the  combined  voting  power of all  classes  of stock of the  Company.  This
Section  16.3 shall not apply to any  Change of  Control to the extent  that (A)
provision is made in writing in  connection  with such Change of Control for the
continuation of the Plan or the assumption of the Options  theretofore  granted,
or for the  substitution for such Options of new options covering the stock of a
successor  corporation,  or a parent,  subsidiary  or  affiliate  thereof,  with
appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and exercise prices,

                                       10
<PAGE>

in which event the Plan and Options  theretofore  granted shall  continue in the
manner  and under the terms so  provided  or (B) a  majority  of the full  Board
determines  that such  Change of Control  shall not trigger  application  of the
provisions of this Section 16.3.

        16.4 Adjustments. Adjustments under this Section 16 related to shares of
Stock  or  securities  of the  Company  shall  be made by the  Committee,  whose
determination  in that  respect  shall be final,  binding,  and  conclusive.  No
fractional  shares  or other  securities  shall be issued  pursuant  to any such
adjustment,  and any  fractions  resulting  from  any such  adjustment  shall be
eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the nearest whole share.

        16.5 No  Limitations  on Company.  The Grant of Options  pursuant to the
Plan shall not  affect or limit in any way the right or power of the  Company to
make adjustments, reclassifications,  reorganizations, or changes of its capital
or business structure or to merge,  consolidate,  dissolve, or liquidate,  or to
sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

        17.     DISCLAIMER OF RIGHTS

        No  provision  in the  Plan or in any  Grant  awarded  or  Stock  Option
Agreement  entered  into  pursuant to the Plan shall be construed to confer upon
any  individual  the right to remain in the employ or service of the  Company or
any affiliate, or to interfere in any way with any contractual or other right or
authority of the Company or any Service  Provider either to increase or decrease
the  compensation  or  other  payments  to any  individual  at any  time,  or to
terminate any  employment or other  relationship  between any individual and the
Company or a Service Provider.  No provision in the Plan or in any Grant awarded
or Stock Option  Agreement  entered into pursuant to the Plan shall be construed
to confer upon any  individual the right to remain in the service of the Company
as a director  (including as an Outside  Director),  or shall  interfere with or
restrict  in any way the  rights of the  Company's  shareholders  to remove  any
director pursuant to the provisions of the California  General  Corporation Law,
as from time to time amended. In addition, notwithstanding anything contained in
the Plan to the contrary, unless otherwise stated in the applicable Stock Option
Agreement,  no Grant  awarded  under the Plan shall be affected by any change of
duties or position of the Optionee  (including a transfer to or from the Company
or a Service  Provider),  so long as such  Optionee  continues to be a director,
officer, consultant, employee, or independent contractor (as the case may be) of
the  Company or a Service  Provider.  The  obligation  of the Company to pay any
benefits pursuant to this Plan shall be interpreted as a contractual  obligation
to pay only  those  amounts  described  herein,  in the  manner  and  under  the
conditions prescribed herein. The Plan shall in no way be interpreted to require
the Company to transfer any amounts to a third party  trustee or otherwise  hold
any amounts in trust or escrow for  payment to any  participant  or  beneficiary
under the terms of the  Plan.  No  Optionee  shall  have any of the  rights of a
shareholder  with respect to the shares of Stock  subject to an Option except to
the extent the certificates for such shares of Stock shall have been issued upon
the exercise of the Option.

        18.     NONEXCLUSIVITY OF THE PLAN

        Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the  submission  of the Plan to the
shareholders  of the Company for  approval  shall be  construed  as creating any
limitations  upon the  right and  authority  of the  Board to adopt  such  other
incentive compensation arrangements (which arrangements may be applicable either
generally to a class or classes of individuals or  specifically  to a particular
individual or particular  individuals) as the Board in its discretion determines
desirable,   including,  without  limitation,  the  granting  of  stock  options
otherwise than under the Plan.

        19.     WITHHOLDING TAXES

        19.1 Withholding.  The Company,  a Subsidiary or a Service Provider,  as
the case may be,  shall  have the  right to  deduct  from  payments  of any kind
otherwise  due to an Optionee  any  Federal,  state,  or local taxes of any kind
required by law to be withheld  with  respect to any shares of Stock issued upon
the exercise of an Option under the Plan. At the time of exercise,  the Optionee
shall pay to the Company,  the Subsidiary or the Service  Provider,  as the case
may be, any amount that the Company,  the Subsidiary or the Service Provider may
reasonably  determine to be necessary  to satisfy such  withholding  obligation.
Subject to the prior  approval of the  Company,  the  Subsidiary  or the Service
Provider,  which may be withheld by the Company,  the  Subsidiary or the Service
Provider, as the case may be, in its sole discretion,  the Optionee may elect to
satisfy such obligations,  in whole or in part, (i) by causing the Company,  the
Subsidiary  or the  Service  Provider  to  withhold  shares  of Stock  otherwise
issuable  pursuant  to the  exercise of an Option or (ii) by  delivering  to the
Company, the Subsidiary or the Service Provider shares of Stock already owned by
the  Optionee.  The shares of Stock so delivered  or withheld  shall have a Fair
Market Value equal to such withholding obligations. The Fair Market Value of the
shares of Stock used to satisfy such withholding  obligation shall be determined
by the Company,  the Subsidiary or the Service  Provider as of the date that the
amount of tax to be withheld is to be  determined.  An Optionee  who has made an
election  pursuant to this Section 19.1 may only satisfy his or her  withholding
obligation  with  shares  of  Stock  that  are not  subject  to any  repurchase,
forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting, or other similar requirements.

        19.2 Limitations for Reporting Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the case of a  Reporting  Person,  no  election  to use Stock for the payment of
withholding  taxes  shall  be  effective  unless  made in  compliance  with  any
applicable  requirements  under Rule  16b-3(e) or any  successor  rule under the
Exchange Act.

        20.     CAPTIONS

        The use of captions in this Plan or any Stock  Option  Agreement  is for
the  convenience  of  reference  only and shall not  affect  the  meaning of any
provision of the Plan or such Stock Option Agreement.

        21.     OTHER PROVISIONS

        Each Grant  awarded  under the Plan may  contain  such  other  terms and
conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Committee,
in its sole discretion.

        22.     NUMBER AND GENDER

        With respect to words used in this Plan, the singular form shall include
the plural form, the masculine gender shall include the feminine  gender,  etc.,
as the context requires.

        23.     SEVERABILITY

        If any  provision  of the Plan or any Stock  Option  Agreement  shall be
determined  to  be  illegal  or  unenforceable  by  any  court  of  law  in  any
jurisdiction, the remaining provisions hereof and thereof shall be severable and
enforceable  in accordance  with their terms,  and all  provisions  shall remain
enforceable in any other jurisdiction.

        24.     GOVERNING LAW

        The  validity  and   construction  of  this  Plan  and  the  instruments
evidencing  the Grants  awarded  hereunder  shall be governed by the laws of the

inconsistent  with the  specific  terms  and  provisions  of the  Plan  that the

duration of any  restriction  or  condition  (or  provision  for lapse  thereof)
relating to the vesting,  exercise,  transfer,  or  forfeiture of a Grant or the
shares  of  Stock  subject  thereto,  and any  terms or  conditions  that may be
necessary to qualify Options as Incentive Stock Options),  (iv) to prescribe the
form of each Award Agreement  evidencing a Grant, and (v) to amend,  modify,  or
supplement  the terms of any  outstanding  Grant;  provided,  however,  that the
Committee  shall not have the  authority  to reduce  the  exercise  price of any
outstanding  Option  other than  pursuant to Section 17 hereof.  Such  authority
specifically includes the authority,  in order to effectuate the purposes of the
Plan but without amending the Plan, to modify Grants to eligible individuals who
are foreign  nationals or are  individuals  who are employed  outside the United
States to  recognize  differences  in local law,  tax  policy,  or custom.  As a
condition to any subsequent  Grant,  the Committee  shall have the right, at its
discretion,  to require  Grantees  to return to the  Company  Grants  previously
awarded under the Plan.  Subject to the terms and  conditions  of the Plan,  any
such new Grant shall be upon such terms and  conditions  as are specified by the
Committee at the time the new Grant is made.

         3.4 Grants to Outside  Directors.  With respect to Grants of Options to
Outside Directors pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the Committee's responsibilities
under the Plan  shall be  limited  to  taking  all legal  actions  necessary  to
document the Options so granted,  to interpret the Award  Agreements  evidencing
such  Options,  to  maintain  appropriate  records and  reports  regarding  such
Options,  and to take all acts  authorized by this Plan or otherwise  reasonably
necessary to effect the purposes hereof.

                                       3

         3.5 No Liability.  No member of the Board or of the Committee  shall be
liable for any action or  determination  made in good faith with  respect to the
Plan or any Grant or Award Agreement.

         3.6 Applicability of Rule 16b-3. Those provisions of the Plan that make
express  reference  to Rule 16b-3  under the  Exchange  Act shall  apply only to
Reporting Persons.

         4.       STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

         Subject to adjustment  as provided in Section 17 hereof,  the number of
shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall be 3,850,000.  Stock
issued or to be issued under the Plan shall be authorized  but unissued  shares.
If any shares  covered by a Grant are not  purchased or are  forfeited,  or if a
Grant otherwise  terminates without delivery of any Stock subject thereto,  then
the number of shares of Stock  counted  against the  aggregate  number of shares
available  under the Plan with respect to such Grant shall, to the extent of any
such forfeiture or  termination,  again be available for making Grants under the
Plan.

         5.       EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN

         5.1  Effective  Date.  The Plan shall be effective as of the  Effective
Date,  subject to approval of the Plan within one year of the Effective Date, by
a majority  of the votes  cast on the  proposal  at a meeting  of  shareholders,
provided that the total votes cast  represent a majority of all shares  entitled
to vote.  Upon  approval of the Plan by the  shareholders  of the Company as set
forth above, all Grants made under the Plan on or after the Effective Date shall
be fully  effective as if the  shareholders of the Company had approved the Plan
on the Effective Date. If the  shareholders  fail to approve the Plan within one
year after the Effective  Date, any Grants made hereunder shall be null and void
and of no effect.

         5.2 Term. The Plan has no termination date; however, no Incentive Stock
Option may be granted on or after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date.

         6.       DISCRETIONARY GRANTS

         6.1  Company  or  Subsidiary  Employees.  Grants  (including  Grants of
Incentive  Stock  Options)  may be made  under the Plan to any  employee  of the
Company or of any  Subsidiary,  including any such employee who is an officer or
director of the Company or of any  Subsidiary,  as the Committee shall determine
and designate from time to time.

         6.2 Service Providers. Grants may be made under the Plan to any Service
Provider whose participation in the Plan is determined by the Committee to be in
the  best  interests  of the  Company  and is so  designated  by the  Committee;
provided, however, that Grants to Service Providers who are not employees of the
Company or of any Subsidiary shall not be Incentive Stock Options.

         6.3  Successive  Grants.  An eligible  person may receive more than one
Grant, subject to such restrictions as are provided herein.

         7.       GRANTS TO OUTSIDE DIRECTORS

         7.1 Initial Grants of Options.  Each Outside  Director who is initially
elected to the Board on or after the Effective Date shall,  upon the date of his
or her  initial  election  by the  Board  or the  shareholders  of the  Company,
automatically  be awarded a Grant of an Option,  which shall not be an Incentive
Stock Option,  to purchase 15,000 shares of Stock (which amount shall be subject
to adjustment as provided in Section 17 hereof).

         7.2  Subsequent  Grants of Options.  Immediately  following each Annual
Meeting of  Shareholders  of the Company  held after the  Effective  Date,  each
Outside  Director then duly elected and serving (other than an Outside  Director
initially  elected to the Board at such Annual  Meeting of  Shareholders)  shall
automatically  be awarded a Grant of an Option,  which shall not be an Incentive
Stock Option,  to purchase  2,500 shares of Stock (which amount shall be subject
to  adjustment  as provided in Section 17 hereof);  provided,  however,  that no

                                       4
<PAGE>

Outside  Director  shall be  eligible  to receive a Grant of Options  under this
Section 7.2 unless such person  attended,  in person or by  telephone,  at least
seventy-five  percent of the meetings  held by the Board during the  immediately
preceding  calendar  year (or such  portion  thereof  during  which the  Outside
Director served on the Board).

         7.3 Vesting.  Options granted to Outside Directors pursuant to Sections
7.1 and 7.2 shall vest in three equal annual installments in accordance with the
schedule set forth in the first sentence of Section 11.1 hereof.

         8.       LIMITATIONS ON GRANTS

         8.1 Limitation on Shares of Stock Subject to Grants. The maximum number
of shares of Stock  subject to Options that can be awarded under the Plan to any
person eligible for a Grant under Section 6 hereof is 2,500,000 during the first
ten years after the Effective Date and 250,000 per year thereafter.  The maximum
number  of  shares  of  Restricted  Stock  that can be  awarded  under  the Plan
(including for this purpose any shares of Stock  represented by Restricted Stock
Units) to any person  eligible for a Grant under Section 6 hereof is 250,000 per
year.

         8.2 Limitations on Incentive Stock Options.  An Option shall constitute
an Incentive  Stock Option only (i) if the Grantee of such Option is an employee
of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company; (ii) to the extent specifically
provided  in the  related  Award  Agreement;  and (iii) to the  extent  that the
aggregate  Fair Market Value  (determined  at the time the Option is granted) of
the shares of Stock with respect to which all  Incentive  Stock  Options held by
such Grantee  become  exercisable  for the first time during any  calendar  year
(under  the  Plan  and  all  other  plans  of the  Grantee's  employer  and  its
affiliates) does not exceed $100,000. This limitation shall be applied by taking
Options into account in the order in which they were granted.

         9.       AWARD AGREEMENT

         Each  Grant  pursuant  to the  Plan  shall  be  evidenced  by an  Award
Agreement,  to be executed by the  Company and by the  Grantee,  in such form or
forms as the  Committee  shall  from time to time  determine.  Award  Agreements
granted  from  time  to  time or at the  same  time  need  not  contain  similar
provisions  but  shall be  consistent  with the terms of the  Plan.  Each  Award
Agreement  evidencing a Grant of Options shall specify  whether such Options are
intended to be non-qualified stock options or Incentive Stock Options.

         10.      OPTION PRICE

         The Option  Price of each Option  shall be fixed by the  Committee  and
stated in the Award Agreement  evidencing such Option. The Option Price shall be
the aggregate Fair Market Value on the Grant Date of the shares of Stock subject
to the  Option;  provided,  however,  that in the  event  that a  Grantee  would
otherwise be  ineligible  to receive an Incentive  Stock Option by reason of the
provisions of Sections  422(b)(6) and 424(d) of the Code  (relating to ownership
of more than ten percent of the Company's  outstanding  Stock), the Option Price
of an Option  granted to such Grantee that is intended to be an Incentive  Stock
Option  shall be not less than the  greater of the par value of a share of Stock
or 110 percent of the Fair  Market  Value of a share of Stock on the Grant Date.
In no case shall the Option  Price of any Option be less than the par value of a
share of Stock.

         11.      VESTING, TERM AND EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

         11.1 Vesting and Option Period.  Unless otherwise  provided in an Award
Agreement  evidencing the Grant of an Option, each Option granted under the Plan
shall become exercisable in accordance with the following schedule: (i) prior to
the first  anniversary of the Grant Date,  the Option shall not be  exercisable;
(ii) on the first  anniversary  of the  Grant  Date,  the  Option  shall  become
exercisable  with respect to  one-third  of the shares of Stock  subject to such
Option;  (iii) on the second  anniversary  of the Grant Date,  the Option  shall
become  exercisable  with  respect to an  additional  one-third of the shares of
Stock  subject  to such  Option and (iv) on the third  anniversary  of the Grant
Date, the Option shall become  exercisable  with respect to the remaining shares
of Stock subject to such Option and shall remain  exercisable in full up to (but
not including)  the  Termination  Date (as defined in Section 11.2 hereof).  For

                                       5
<PAGE>

purposes of this Section 11.1,  fractional numbers of shares of Stock subject to
an Option  shall be rounded down to the next nearest  whole  number.  The period
during which any Option shall be  exercisable  in accordance  with the foregoing
schedule shall constitute the "Option Period" with respect to such Option.

         11.2 Term. Each Option granted under the Plan shall terminate,  and all
rights to purchase shares of Stock thereunder  shall cease,  upon the expiration
of ten years from the date such Option is granted,  or under such  circumstances
and on such date prior thereto as is set forth in the Plan or as may be fixed by
the  Committee  and stated in the Award  Agreement  relating to such Option (the
"Termination Date"); provided, however, that in the event that the Grantee would
otherwise be  ineligible  to receive an Incentive  Stock Option by reason of the
provisions of Sections  422(b)(6) and 424(d) of the Code  (relating to ownership
of more than ten percent of the  outstanding  Stock),  an Option granted to such
Grantee  that  is  intended  to  be an  Incentive  Stock  Option  shall  not  be
exercisable after the expiration of five years from its Grant Date.

         11.3  Acceleration.  Any  limitation  on  the  exercise  of  an  Option
contained in any Award  Agreement  may be  rescinded,  modified or waived by the
Committee,  in its sole discretion,  at any time and from time to time after the
Grant Date of such Option,  so as to accelerate the time at which the Option may
be exercised.  Notwithstanding  any other provision of the Plan, no Option shall
be exercisable in whole or in part prior to the date the Plan is approved by the
shareholders of the Company as provided in Section 5.1 hereof.

         11.4  Termination  of  Employment  or  Other  Relationship.   Upon  the
termination  (i) of the  employment  of a Grantee  with the Company or a Service
Provider,  (ii) of a Service Provider's  relationship with the Company, or (iii)
of an Outside  Director's  service to the  Company,  other than,  in the case of
individuals,  by reason of death or "permanent and total disability" (within the
meaning of Section  22(e)(3) of the Code), any Option or portion thereof held by
such Grantee that has not vested in  accordance  with the  provisions of Section
11.1 hereof shall terminate immediately,  and any Option or portion thereof that
has vested in accordance  with the provisions of Section 11.1 hereof but has not
been  exercised  shall  terminate at the close of business on the  thirtieth day
following  the  Grantee's   termination   of  service,   employment,   or  other
relationship, unless the Committee, in its discretion, extends the period during
which the Option may be exercised  (which period may not be extended  beyond the
original term of the Option).  Upon termination of an Option or portion thereof,
the Grantee shall have no further right to purchase  shares of Stock pursuant to
such Option or portion thereof.  Whether a leave of absence or leave on military
or government  service shall constitute a termination of employment for purposes
of the Plan shall be determined by the Committee,  which  determination shall be
final and  conclusive.  For purposes of the Plan, a termination  of  employment,
service  or other  relationship  shall not be deemed to occur if the  Grantee is
immediately  thereafter employed with the Company or any other Service Provider,
or is  engaged as a Service  Provider  or an Outside  Director  of the  Company.
Whether  a  termination  of  a  Service  Provider's  or  an  Outside  Director's
relationship  with the Company  shall have  occurred  shall be determined by the
Committee, which determination shall be final and conclusive.

         11.5 Rights in the Event of Death.  If a Grantee dies while employed by
the Company or a Service Provider,  or while serving as a Service Provider or an
Outside  Director,  all Options  granted to such Grantee shall fully vest on the
date of death, and the executors or  administrators  or legatees or distributees
of such Grantee's estate shall have the right, at any time within one year after
the date of such Grantee's death (or such longer period as the Committee, in its
discretion,  may determine prior to the expiration of such one-year  period) and
prior to termination of the Option  pursuant to Section 11.2 above,  to exercise
any Option held by such Grantee at the date of such Grantee's death.

         11.6  Rights  in the  Event  of  Disability.  If a  Grantee  terminates
employment  with the  Company  or a Service  Provider,  or (if the  Grantee is a
Service  Provider  who is an  individual  or is an Outside  Director)  ceases to
provide services to the Company,  in either case by reason of the "permanent and
total  disability"  (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) of such
Grantee, such Grantee's Options shall continue to vest, and shall be exercisable
to the  extent  that  they are  vested,  for a period  of one  year  after  such
termination of employment or service (or such longer period as the Committee, in
its discretion,  may determine prior to the expiration of such one-year period),
subject to earlier  termination of the Option as provided in Section 11.2 above.

                                       6
<PAGE>

Whether a termination  of employment or service is to be considered by reason of
"permanent and total disability" for purposes of the Plan shall be determined by
the Committee, which determination shall be final and conclusive.

         11.7  Limitations  on  Exercise  of Option.  Notwithstanding  any other
provision of the Plan, in no event may any Option be  exercised,  in whole or in
part,  prior to the date the Plan is approved by the shareholders of the Company
as provided herein,  or after ten years following the date upon which the Option
is granted, or after the occurrence of an event referred to in Section 17 hereof
which results in termination of the Option.

         11.8 Method of Exercise. An Option that is exercisable may be exercised
by the  Grantee's  delivery to the Company of written  notice of exercise on any
business day, at the Company's  principal office,  addressed to the attention of
the  Committee.  Such  notice  shall  specify the number of shares of Stock with
respect  to which the  Option is being  exercised  and shall be  accompanied  by
payment in full of the Option  Price of the shares for which the Option is being
exercised. The minimum number of shares of Stock with respect to which an Option
may be  exercised,  in whole or in part,  at any time shall be the lesser of (i)
100 shares or such lesser number set forth in the applicable Award Agreement and
(ii) the maximum number of shares available for purchase under the Option at the
time of exercise.  Payment of the Option Price for the shares purchased pursuant
to the exercise of an Option  shall be made (i) in cash or in cash  equivalents;
(ii) through the tender to the Company of shares of Stock, which shares shall be
valued,  for  purposes of  determining  the extent to which the Option Price has
been paid thereby, at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise;  or (iii)
by a  combination  of the methods  described in (i) and (ii).  The Committee may
provide,  by  inclusion  of  appropriate  language in an Award  Agreement,  that
payment in full of the Option  Price need not  accompany  the written  notice of
exercise  provided that the notice of exercise  directs that the  certificate or
certificates  for the  shares  of Stock for which  the  Option is  exercised  be
delivered to a licensed  broker  acceptable  to the Company as the agent for the
individual   exercising  the  Option  and,  at  the  time  such  certificate  or
certificates  are  delivered,  the broker  tenders to the Company  cash (or cash
equivalents  acceptable to the Company) equal to the Option Price for the shares
of Stock  purchased  pursuant to the  exercise of the Option plus the amount (if
any) of federal  and/or  other taxes which the Company may in its  judgment,  be
required to withhold  with respect to the exercise of the Option.  An attempt to
exercise  any Option  granted  hereunder  other than as set forth above shall be
invalid and of no force and effect.  Unless  otherwise  stated in the applicable
Award Agreement,  an individual  holding or exercising an Option shall have none
of the  rights of a  shareholder  (for  example,  the right to  receive  cash or
dividend  payments or distributions  attributable to the subject shares of Stock
or to direct  the  voting of the  subject  shares of Stock ) until the shares of
Stock  covered  thereby are fully paid and issued to him.  Except as provided in
Section 17 hereof,  no adjustment shall be made for dividends,  distributions or
other rights for which the record date is prior to the date of such issuance.

         11.9 Delivery of Stock Certificates.  Promptly after the exercise of an
Option by a Grantee and the payment in full of the Option  Price,  such  Grantee
shall  be  entitled  to the  issuance  of a stock  certificate  or  certificates
evidencing his or her ownership of the shares of Stock subject to the Option.

         12.      TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS

         Each Option  granted  pursuant  to this Plan shall,  during a Grantee's
lifetime,   be  exercisable  only  by  the  Grantee  or  his  or  her  permitted
transferees,   and  neither  the  Option  nor  any  right  thereunder  shall  be
transferable by the Grantee, by operation of law or otherwise, other than as may
be provided in the Award Agreement  evidencing such Option or as may be provided
by will or the laws of descent  and  distribution.  Except as may be provided in
the Award  Agreement  evidencing  an  Option,  no  Option  shall be  pledged  or
hypothecated  (by  operation  of law or  otherwise)  or  subject  to  execution,
attachment or similar processes.

         13.      RESTRICTED STOCK

         13.1 Grant of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units. The Committee
may from  time to time  grant  Restricted  Stock or  Restricted  Stock  Units to
persons  eligible  to  receive  such  Grants as set  forth in  Section 6 hereof,
subject to such  restrictions,  conditions  and other terms as the Committee may
determine.

                                       7
<PAGE>

         13.2  Restrictions.  At  the  time  a  Grant  of  Restricted  Stock  or
Restricted  Stock Units is made, the Committee  shall establish a period of time
(the  "Restricted  Period")  applicable to such  Restricted  Stock or Restricted
Stock  Units.  The minimum  Restricted  Period  which may be provided for by the
Committee with respect to Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units the vesting
of which is subject  solely to the passage of time and/or  continued  employment
shall be three years,  subject to earlier  expiration of the  Restricted  Period
upon the death,  disability,  retirement or other  termination of service of the
Grantee,  or upon a change in control of the  Company,  in  accordance  with the
provisions of the Plan. Each Grant of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units
may be subject to a different  Restricted Period. The Committee may, in its sole
discretion, at the time a Grant of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units is
made, prescribe  restrictions in addition to or other than the expiration of the
Restricted  Period,  including  the  satisfaction  of  corporate  or  individual
performance  objectives,  which may be  applicable  to all or any portion of the
Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units. Such performance objectives shall be
established  in writing by the Committee  prior to the ninetieth day of the year
in which the Grant is made and while the  outcome  is  substantially  uncertain.
Performance  objectives  shall be based on Stock  price,  market  share,  sales,
earnings  per  share,  return on equity or  costs.  Performance  objectives  may
include  positive  results,  maintaining  the  status quo or  limiting  economic
losses.  Subject to the second sentence of this Section 13.2, the Committee also
may, in its sole discretion, shorten or terminate the Restricted Period or waive
any other restrictions applicable to all or a portion of the Restricted Stock or
Restricted Stock Units.  Neither Restricted Stock nor Restricted Stock Units may
be sold, transferred,  assigned,  pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of
during  the  Restricted  Period  or  prior  to the  satisfaction  of  any  other
restrictions  prescribed by the Committee with respect to such Restricted  Stock
or Restricted Stock Units.

         13.3  Restricted  Stock  Certificates.  The Company shall issue, in the
name  of  each  Grantee  to  whom  Restricted  Stock  has  been  granted,  stock
certificates representing the total number of shares of Restricted Stock granted
to the Grantee,  as soon as  reasonably  practicable  after the Grant Date.  The
Secretary of the Company shall hold such  certificates for the Grantee's benefit
until such time as the  Restricted  Stock is forfeited  to the  Company,  or the
restrictions lapse.

         13.4  Rights of  Holders of  Restricted  Stock.  Unless  the  Committee
otherwise provides in an Award Agreement, holders of Restricted Stock shall have
the right to vote such Stock and the right to receive any dividends  declared or
paid with respect to such Stock.  The  Committee  may provide that any dividends
paid on Restricted Stock must be reinvested in shares of Stock, which may or may
not be subject to the same vesting  conditions  and  restrictions  applicable to
such Restricted  Stock. All  distributions,  if any,  received by a Grantee with
respect to  Restricted  Stock as a result of any stock  split,  stock  dividend,
combination  of shares,  or other  similar  transaction  shall be subject to the
restrictions applicable to the original Grant.

         13.5 Rights of Holders of Restricted Stock Units.  Unless the Committee
otherwise  provides in an Award  Agreement,  holders of  Restricted  Stock Units
shall have no rights as stockholders  of the Company.  The Committee may provide
in an Award  Agreement  evidencing  a Grant of  Restricted  Stock Units that the
holder of such  Restricted  Stock Units  shall be entitled to receive,  upon the
Company's  payment of a cash dividend on its  outstanding  Stock, a cash payment
for each Restricted Stock Unit held equal to the per-share  dividend paid on the
Stock.  Such Award  Agreement  may also  provide  that such cash payment will be
deemed reinvested in additional Restricted Stock Units at a price per unit equal
to the Fair Market  Value of a share of Stock on the date that such  dividend is
paid.

         13.6  Termination  of  Employment  or  Other  Relationship.   Upon  the
termination  of the  employment  of a  Grantee  with the  Company  or a  Service
Provider,  or of a Service Provider's  relationship with the Company,  in either
case other than,  in the case of  individuals,  by reason of death or "permanent
and total disability"  (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), any
Restricted  Stock or  Restricted  Stock Units held by such  Grantee that has not
vested, or with respect to which all applicable restrictions and conditions have
not lapsed, shall immediately be deemed forfeited,  unless the Committee, in its
discretion,  determines  otherwise.  Upon  forfeiture  of  Restricted  Stock  or
Restricted Stock Units, the Grantee shall have no further rights with respect to
such Grant,  including but not limited to any right to vote Restricted  Stock or

                                       8
<PAGE>

any right to receive  dividends  with respect to shares of  Restricted  Stock or
Restricted  Stock  Units.  Whether a leave of  absence or leave on  military  or
government  service shall constitute a termination of employment for purposes of
the Plan shall be  determined by the  Committee,  which  determination  shall be
final and  conclusive.  For purposes of the Plan, a termination  of  employment,
service  or other  relationship  shall not be deemed to occur if the  Grantee is
immediately  thereafter employed with the Company or any other Service Provider,
or is  engaged  as a  Service  Provider.  Whether  a  termination  of a  Service
Provider's relationship with the Company shall have occurred shall be determined
by the Committee, which determination shall be final and conclusive.

         13.7 Rights in the Event of Death.  If a Grantee dies while employed by
the Company or a Service  Provider or while serving as a Service  Provider,  all
Restricted  Stock or Restricted  Stock Units granted to such Grantee shall fully
vest on the date of death, and the shares of Stock represented  thereby shall be
deliverable  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of the  Plan  to  the  executors,
administrators, legatees or distributees of the Grantee's estate.

         13.8  Rights  in the  Event  of  Disability.  If a  Grantee  terminates
employment  with the  Company  or a Service  Provider,  or (if the  Grantee is a
Service  Provider  who is an  individual)  ceases  to  provide  services  to the
Company,  in  either  case by  reason of the  "permanent  and total  disability"
(within  the  meaning of Section  22(e)(3)  of the Code) of such  Grantee,  such
Grantee's  Restricted  Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall continue to vest in
accordance  with the applicable  Award  Agreement for a period of one year after
such  termination  of  employment  or  service  (or such  longer  period  as the
Committee,  in its  discretion,  may determine  prior to the  expiration of such
one-year period),  subject to the earlier forfeiture of such Restricted Stock or
Restricted  Stock Units in  accordance  with the terms of the  applicable  Award
Agreement. Whether a termination of employment or service is to be considered by
reason of  "permanent  and total  disability"  for purposes of the Plan shall be
determined by the Committee, which determination shall be final and conclusive.

         13.9  Delivery of Stock and Payment  Therefor.  Upon the  expiration or
termination  of  the  Restricted  Period  and  the  satisfaction  of  any  other
conditions prescribed by the Committee, the restrictions applicable to shares of
Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall lapse, and, upon payment by the
Grantee to the Company,  in cash or by check,  of the aggregate par value of the
shares of Stock  represented by such Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units,
a stock  certificate  for  such  shares  shall  be  delivered,  free of all such
restrictions, to the Grantee or the Grantee's beneficiary or estate, as the case
may be.

         14.      PARACHUTE LIMITATIONS

         Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of this  Plan  or of any  other
agreement,  contract, or understanding heretofore or hereafter entered into by a
Grantee with the Company or any Subsidiary,  except an agreement,  contract,  or
understanding  hereafter  entered  into  that  expressly  modifies  or  excludes
application of this paragraph (an "Other  Agreement"),  and  notwithstanding any
formal  or  informal  plan or  other  arrangement  for the  direct  or  indirect
provision  of  compensation  to the  Grantee  (including  groups or  classes  of
participants or beneficiaries of which the Grantee is a member),  whether or not
such compensation is deferred,  is in cash, or is in the form of a benefit to or
for the Grantee (a  "Benefit  Arrangement"),  if the Grantee is a  "disqualified
individual," as defined in Section  280G(c) of the Code, any Option,  Restricted
Stock or Restricted Stock Unit held by that Grantee and any right to receive any
payment or other benefit under this Plan shall not become  exercisable or vested
(i) to the extent that such right to  exercise,  vesting,  payment,  or benefit,
taking  into  account  all other  rights,  payments,  or  benefits to or for the
Grantee under this Plan,  all Other  Agreements,  and all Benefit  Arrangements,
would  cause  any  payment  or  benefit  to the  Grantee  under  this Plan to be
considered a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the
Code as then in  effect  (a  "Parachute  Payment")  and (ii) if,  as a result of
receiving a Parachute Payment,  the aggregate  after-tax amounts received by the
Grantee from the Company under this Plan, all Other Agreements,  and all Benefit
Arrangements  would be less than the  maximum  after-tax  amount  that  could be
received  by the  Grantee  without  causing  any such  payment  or benefit to be
considered a Parachute Payment.  In the event that the receipt of any such right
to exercise,  vesting,  payment, or benefit under this Plan, in conjunction with
all other  rights,  payments,  or benefits to or for the Grantee under any Other

                                       9
<PAGE>

Agreement or any Benefit Arrangement would cause the Grantee to be considered to
have received a Parachute  Payment under this Plan that would have the effect of
decreasing the after-tax  amount  received by the Grantee as described in clause
(ii) of the preceding  sentence,  then the Grantee shall have the right,  in the
Grantee's sole  discretion,  to designate  those rights,  payments,  or benefits
under this Plan, any Other Agreements,  and any Benefit Arrangements that should
be reduced or  eliminated  so as to avoid  having the  payment or benefit to the
Grantee under this Plan be deemed to be a Parachute Payment.

         15.      REQUIREMENTS OF LAW

         15.1  General.  The Company  shall not be required to sell or issue any
shares of Stock under any Grant if the sale or  issuance  of such  shares  would
constitute  a violation  by the  Grantee,  any other  individual  exercising  an
Option,  or  the  Company  of any  provision  of any  law or  regulation  of any
governmental  authority,  including  without  limitation  any  federal  or state
securities laws or regulations.  If at any time the Company shall determine,  in
its discretion,  that the listing,  registration or  qualification of any shares
subject  to a Grant  upon any  securities  exchange  or under  any  governmental
regulatory  body is necessary or desirable as a condition  of, or in  connection
with,  the issuance or purchase of shares  hereunder,  no shares of Stock may be
issued or sold to the  Grantee  or any  other  individual  exercising  an Option
pursuant to such Grant unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent
or approval  shall have been  effected or obtained  free of any  conditions  not
acceptable to the Company,  and any delay caused  thereby shall in no way affect
the date of  termination  of the Grant.  Specifically,  in  connection  with the
Securities Act, upon the exercise of any Option or the delivery of any shares of
Restricted  Stock  or  Stock  underlying   Restricted  Stock  Units,   unless  a
registration statement under such Act is in effect with respect to the shares of
Stock covered by such Grant,  the Company shall not be required to sell or issue
such shares unless the Committee has received  evidence  satisfactory to it that
the Grantee or any other individual exercising an Option may acquire such shares
pursuant  to an  exemption  from  registration  under the  Securities  Act.  Any
determination in this connection by the Committee shall be final,  binding,  and
conclusive. The Company may, but shall in no event be obligated to, register any
securities  covered hereby pursuant to the Securities Act. The Company shall not
be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of an
Option or the  issuance  of shares of Stock  pursuant to the Plan to comply with
any law or regulation of any governmental authority. As to any jurisdiction that
expressly  imposes the requirement that an Option shall not be exercisable until
the shares of Stock  covered by such  Option are  registered  or are exempt from
registration, the exercise of such Option (under circumstances in which the laws
of such jurisdiction  apply) shall be deemed  conditioned upon the effectiveness
of such registration or the availability of such an exemption.

         15.2 Rule 16b-3.  It is the intent of the Company that Grants  pursuant
to the Plan and the exercise of Options  granted  hereunder will qualify for the
exemption  provided by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. To the extent that any
provision  of the Plan or  action  by the  Committee  does not  comply  with the
requirements  of Rule  16b-3,  it  shall be  deemed  inoperative  to the  extent
permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee, and shall not affect the
validity of the Plan.  In the event that Rule 16b-3 is revised or replaced,  the
Board may exercise its  discretion to modify this Plan in any respect  necessary
to satisfy the  requirements  of, or to take  advantage  of any features of, the
revised exemption or its replacement.

         16.      AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

         The Board may, at any time and from time to time,  amend,  suspend,  or
terminate  the Plan as to any shares of Stock as to which  Grants  have not been
made;  provided,  however,  that the Board  shall not,  without  approval of the
Company's  shareholders,  amend the Plan such that it does not  comply  with the
Code.  The  Company  may  retain  the  right  in an Award  Agreement  to cause a
forfeiture  of the gain  realized by a Grantee on account of the Grantee  taking
actions in  "competition  with the Company," as defined in the applicable  Award
Agreement.  Furthermore,  the  Company  may annul a Grant if the  Grantee  is an
employee of the Company or an affiliate and is terminated "for cause" as defined
in the applicable Award Agreement.  Except as permitted under this Section 16 or
Section 17 hereof, no amendment,  suspension,  or termination of the Plan shall,
without the consent of the Grantee,  alter or impair rights or obligations under
any Grant theretofore awarded under the Plan.

         17.      EFFECT OF CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION

         17.1 Changes in Stock. If the number of outstanding  shares of Stock is
increased or decreased or the shares of Stock are changed into or exchanged  for
a  different  number or kind of shares or other  securities  of the  Company  on
account of any recapitalization,  reclassification,  stock split, reverse split,
combination of shares,  exchange of shares, stock dividend or other distribution
payable in capital stock,  or other increase or decrease in such shares effected
without receipt of  consideration  by the Company  occurring after the Effective
Date,  the number and kinds of shares for which  Grants of  Options,  Restricted
Stock and  Restricted  Stock  Units may be made under the Plan shall be adjusted
proportionately and accordingly by the Company. In addition, the number and kind
of shares for which Grants are outstanding shall be adjusted proportionately and
accordingly  so that  the  proportionate  interest  of the  Grantee  immediately
following  such  event  shall,  to  the  extent  practicable,  be  the  same  as
immediately before such event. Any such adjustment in outstanding  Options shall
not change the  aggregate  Option Price  payable with respect to shares that are
subject to the unexercised portion of the Option outstanding but shall include a
corresponding proportionate adjustment in the Option Price per share.

         17.2 Reorganization in Which the Company Is the Surviving Entity and in
Which No Change of  Control  Occurs.  Subject  to Section  17.3  hereof,  if the
Company  shall  be the  surviving  entity  in  any  reorganization,  merger,  or
consolidation  of the  Company  with  one or more  other  entities,  any  Option
theretofore  granted  pursuant  to the Plan  shall  pertain  to and apply to the
securities  to which a holder of the  number of shares of Stock  subject to such
Option  would have been  entitled  immediately  following  such  reorganization,
merger, or consolidation,  with a corresponding  proportionate adjustment of the
Option Price per share so that the aggregate  Option Price  thereafter  shall be
the same as the aggregate  Option Price of the shares  remaining  subject to the
Option  immediately  prior to such  reorganization,  merger,  or  consolidation.
Subject to any  contrary  language in an Award  Agreement  evidencing a Grant of
Restricted  Stock,  any  restrictions  applicable to such Restricted Stock shall
apply as well to any  replacement  shares received by the Grantee as a result of
the reorganization, merger or consolidation.

         17.3  Reorganization,  Sale of Assets or Sale of Stock Which Involves a
Change of Control.  Subject to the  exceptions set forth in the last sentence of
this Section 17.3,  (i) upon the occurrence of a "Change of Control" (as defined
below),  all outstanding  shares of Restricted  Stock and Restricted Stock Units
shall be deemed to have vested,  and all restrictions and conditions  applicable
to such shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be deemed to
have lapsed  immediately prior to the occurrence of such Change of Control,  and
(ii) fifteen days prior to the  scheduled  consummation  of a Change of Control,
all Options outstanding hereunder shall become immediately exercisable and shall
remain  exercisable  for a period of fifteen  days.  Any  exercise  of an Option
during such fifteen-day period shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the
Change  of  Control  and  shall  be  effective  only   immediately   before  the
consummation  of the  Change of  Control.  Upon  consummation  of any  Change of
Control,  the Plan and all outstanding but unexercised  Options shall terminate.
The Committee  shall send written  notice of an event that will result in such a
termination to all individuals who hold Options not later than the time at which
the Company  gives  notice  thereof to its  shareholders.  For  purposes of this
Section  17.3,  a "Change  of  Control"  shall be  deemed to occur  upon (i) the
dissolution or liquidation  of the Company or upon a merger,  consolidation,  or
reorganization  of the  Company  with one or more  other  entities  in which the
Company is not the surviving  entity,  (ii) a sale of  substantially  all of the
assets of the Company to another  entity,  or (iii) any  transaction  (including
without  limitation  a merger  or  reorganization  in which the  Company  is the
surviving  corporation)  which  results in any person or entity  (other  than B.
Wayne Hughes and members of his family and their affiliates)  owning 50% or more
of the  combined  voting  power of all  classes  of stock of the  Company.  This
Section  17.3 shall not apply to any  Change of  Control to the extent  that (A)
provision is made in writing in  connection  with such Change of Control for the
continuation of the Plan or the assumption of the Options,  Restricted Stock and
Restricted  Stock Units  theretofore  granted,  or for the substitution for such
Options,  Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units of new options, restricted
stock and restricted stock units covering the stock of a successor  corporation,
or a parent, subsidiary or affiliate thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to
the number and kind of shares and exercise  prices,  in which event the Plan and
Options,  Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units theretofore  granted shall

                                       11
<PAGE>

continue  in the manner and under the terms so provided or (B) a majority of the
full Board determines that such Change of Control shall not trigger  application
of the provisions of this Section 17.3.

         17.4  Adjustments.  Adjustments under this Section 17 related to shares
of Stock or  securities  of the Company  shall be made by the  Committee,  whose
determination  in that  respect  shall be  final,  binding  and  conclusive.  No
fractional  shares  or other  securities  shall be issued  pursuant  to any such
adjustment,  and any  fractions  resulting  from  any such  adjustment  shall be
eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the nearest whole share.

         17.5 No  Limitations on Company.  The making of Grants  pursuant to the
Plan shall not  affect or limit in any way the right or power of the  Company to
make adjustments, reclassifications,  reorganizations, or changes of its capital
or business structure or to merge,  consolidate,  dissolve, or liquidate,  or to
sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

         18.      DISCLAIMER OF RIGHTS

         No  provision in the Plan or in any Grant or Award  Agreement  shall be
construed  to confer  upon any  individual  the right to remain in the employ or
service of the Company or any  affiliate,  or to  interfere  in any way with any
contractual  or other right or authority of the Company or any Service  Provider
either to  increase  or  decrease  the  compensation  or other  payments  to any
individual  at any time, or to terminate  any  employment or other  relationship
between any  individual and the Company or a Service  Provider.  No provision in
the Plan or in any Grant awarded or Award Agreement entered into pursuant to the
Plan shall be construed to confer upon any individual the right to remain in the
service of the  Company as a director  (including  as an Outside  Director),  or
shall  interfere  with  or  restrict  in any  way the  rights  of the  Company's
shareholders to remove any director pursuant to the provisions of the California
General   Corporation   Law,  as  from  time  to  time  amended.   In  addition,
notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, unless otherwise
stated in the applicable Award Agreement,  no Grant awarded under the Plan shall
be affected by any change of duties or position  of the  Optionee  (including  a
transfer to or from the Company or a Service Provider),  so long as such Grantee
continues  to be a  director,  officer,  consultant,  employee,  or  independent
contractor  (as the case  may be) of the  Company  or a  Service  Provider.  The
obligation  of the  Company to pay any  benefits  pursuant to this Plan shall be
interpreted  as a contractual  obligation  to pay only those  amounts  described
herein, in the manner and under the conditions prescribed herein. The Plan shall
in no way be  interpreted  to require the  Company to transfer  any amounts to a
third party trustee or otherwise hold any amounts in trust or escrow for payment
to any participant or beneficiary  under the terms of the Plan. No Grantee shall
have any of the  rights of a  shareholder  with  respect  to the shares of Stock
subject to an Option  except to the extent the  certificates  for such shares of
Stock shall have been issued upon the exercise of the Option.

         19.      NONEXCLUSIVITY OF THE PLAN

         Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the  submission of the Plan to the
shareholders  of the Company for  approval  shall be  construed  as creating any
limitations  upon the  right and  authority  of the  Board to adopt  such  other
incentive compensation arrangements (which arrangements may be applicable either
generally to a class or classes of individuals or  specifically  to a particular
individual or particular  individuals) as the Board in its discretion determines
desirable,   including,  without  limitation,  the  granting  of  stock  options
otherwise than under the Plan.

         20.      WITHHOLDING TAXES

         The Company,  a Subsidiary or a Service  Provider,  as the case may be,
shall have the right to deduct  from  payments  of any kind  otherwise  due to a
Grantee any  Federal,  state,  or local taxes of any kind  required by law to be
withheld  with  respect  to  the  vesting  of or  other  lapse  of  restrictions
applicable to Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units or upon the issuance of
any shares of Stock upon the exercise of an Option. At the time of such vesting,
lapse, or exercise,  the Grantee shall pay to the Company, the Subsidiary or the
Service  Provider,  as the  case  may be,  any  amount  that  the  Company,  the
Subsidiary or the Service  Provider may reasonably  determine to be necessary to
satisfy  such  withholding  obligation.  Subject  to the prior  approval  of the

                                       12
<PAGE>

Company,  the Subsidiary or the Service  Provider,  which may be withheld by the
Company, the Subsidiary or the Service Provider, as the case may be, in its sole
discretion,  the Grantee may elect to satisfy such  obligations,  in whole or in
part,  (i) by causing the Company,  the  Subsidiary  or the Service  Provider to
withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable to the Grantee or (ii) by delivering
to the Company,  the Subsidiary or the Service  Provider shares of Stock already
owned by the Grantee. The shares of Stock so delivered or withheld shall have an
aggregate  Fair Market  Value equal to such  withholding  obligations.  The Fair
Market Value of the shares of Stock used to satisfy such withholding  obligation
shall be determined by the Company, the Subsidiary or the Service Provider as of
the date that the amount of tax to be  withheld is to be  determined.  A Grantee
who has made an  election  pursuant  to this  Section 20 may  satisfy his or her
withholding  obligation  only with  shares of Stock that are not  subject to any
repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting, or other similar requirements.

         21.      CAPTIONS

         The use of  captions  in this  Plan or any Award  Agreement  is for the
convenience  of reference only and shall not affect the meaning of any provision
of the Plan or such Award Agreement.

         22.      OTHER PROVISIONS

         Each Grant  awarded  under the Plan may  contain  such other  terms and
conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Committee,
in its sole discretion.

         23.      NUMBER AND GENDER

         With  respect  to words  used in this  Plan,  the  singular  form shall
include the plural form, the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender,
etc., as the context requires.

         24.      SEVERABILITY

         If any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be determined
to be  illegal or  unenforceable  by any court of law in any  jurisdiction,  the
remaining  provisions  hereof and thereof shall be severable and  enforceable in
accordance with their terms, and all provisions shall remain  enforceable in any
other jurisdiction.

         25.      GOVERNING LAW

         The  validity  and  construction  of  this  Plan  and  the  instruments
evidencing  the Grants  awarded  hereunder  shall be governed by the laws of the
State of California.
