                              PUBLIC STORAGE, INC.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 2000
                                   (UNAUDITED)


1.   Description of the business
     ---------------------------

              Public Storage, Inc. (the "Company") is a California  corporation,
     which was organized in 1980. We are a fully  integrated,  self-administered
     and  self-managed  real estate  investment  trust ("REIT") whose  principal
     business  activities  include the acquisition,  development,  ownership and
     operation of storage  facilities  which offer storage spaces and containers
     for lease,  usually on a  month-to-month  basis,  for personal and business
     use. In addition,  to a much lesser extent, we have interests in commercial
     properties.

              In 1996 and 1997, we organized Public Storage Pickup and Delivery,
     Inc.,  as a separate  corporation  and  partnership  (the  corporation  and
     partnership  are  collectively  referred to as "PSPUD") to operate  storage
     facilities that rent portable  storage  containers to customers for storage
     in  central  warehouses.  At March 31,  2000,  PSPUD had 36  facilities  in
     operation.

              We invest in real estate  facilities  by  acquiring  wholly  owned
     facilities or by acquiring interests in real estate entities which also own
     real  estate  facilities.  At March 31,  2000,  we had direct and  indirect
     equity interests in 1,446 properties located in 38 states,  including 1,316
     storage  facilities  and 130 commercial  properties.  The Company under the
     "Public Storage" name operates all of the self-storage facilities.

2.   Summary of significant accounting policies
     ------------------------------------------

     Basis of presentation
     ---------------------

              The consolidated  financial statements include the accounts of the
     Company  and  34  controlled   entities  (the   "Consolidated   Entities").
     Collectively,  the  Company  and these  entities  own a total of 1,209 real
     estate  facilities,   consisting  of  1,205  storage  facilities  and  four
     commercial properties.

              At  March  31,  2000,  we had  equity  investments  in 11  limited
     partnerships in which we do not have a controlling interest.  These limited
     partnerships  collectively  own  111  self-storage  facilities,  which  are
     managed by the Company. In addition, we own approximately 41% of the common
     interest in PS Business Parks,  Inc.  ("PSB"),  which owns and operates 126
     commercial properties. We do not control these entities,  accordingly,  our
     investments in these limited  partnerships  and PSB 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 tax
     ----------

              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, we are not taxed on that portion of
     our taxable income, which is distributed to our shareholders, provided that
     we meet certain tests. We believe we will meet these tests during 2000 and,
     accordingly,   no  provision   for  income  taxes  has  been  made  in  the
     accompanying financial statements.

                                       6

     Financial instruments
     ---------------------

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

              For purposes of financial statement presentation,  we consider all
     highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or
     less to be cash equivalents.

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

              Financial assets that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily
     of cash and cash equivalents,  accounts  receivable,  and notes receivable.
     Cash  and  cash  equivalents,  which  consist  of  short-term  investments,
     including   commercial  paper,  are  only  invested  in  entities  with  an
     investment grade rating.  Notes receivable are substantially all secured by
     real estate  facilities that we believe are valued in excess of the related
     note receivable. Accounts receivable are not a significant portion of total
     assets and are comprised of a large number of individual customers.

     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.

     Evaluation of asset impairment
     ------------------------------

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

                                       7

     Other assets
     ------------

              Other assets primarily consist of furniture,  fixtures, equipment,
     and other such assets associated with the portable self-storage business as
     well as accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, and other such assets of the
     Company. Included in other assets with respect to the portable self-storage
     business  is  furniture,   fixtures,  and  equipment  (net  of  accumulated
     depreciation) of $33,742,000 and $34,704,000 at March 31, 2000 and December
     31, 1999,  respectively.  Included in depreciation and amortization expense
     for the three  months  ended  March  31,  2000 and 1999 is  $1,153,000  and
     $1,182,000,  respectively,  of  depreciation  of furniture,  fixtures,  and
     equipment of the portable self-storage business.

     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.  Intangible assets
     are amortized  straight-line  over 25 years.  At March 31, 2000  intangible
     assets are net of accumulated  amortization of $40,728,000  ($38,400,000 at
     December 31, 1999).  Included in depreciation and amortization  expense for
     the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 is $2,328,000, respectively,
     related to the amortization of intangible assets.

     Revenue and expense recognition
     -------------------------------

              Property  rents are  recognized  as earned.  Equity in earnings of
     real estate entities is recognized  based on our ownership  interest in the
     earnings of each of the  unconsolidated  real estate entities.  Advertising
     costs are expensed as incurred.

     Environmental costs
     -------------------

              Our  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.  Our current practice is to
     conduct   environmental   investigations   in   connection   with  property
     acquisitions.   As  a  result  of  environmental   investigations   of  our
     properties,  which commenced in 1995, we recorded an amount,  which, in our
     best  estimate,  will be sufficient to satisfy  anticipated  costs of known
     investigation  and  remediation  requirements.  Although  there  can  be no
     assurance,  we are not aware of any  environmental  contamination of any of
     our facilities which  individually or in the aggregate would be material to
     our overall business, financial condition, or results of operations.

     Net income per common share
     ---------------------------

              Dividends paid to our preferred  shareholders totaling $25,038,000
     and  $21,530,000  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2000 and 1999,
     respectively,  have been  deducted  from net income to arrive at net income
     allocable to our common shareholders.

              Net income  allocated to our common  shareholders has been further
     allocated  among our two classes of common stock;  our regular common stock
     and our Equity Stock,  Series A. The allocation  among each class was based
     upon the two-class method.  Under the two-class method,  earnings per share
     for each  class  of  common  stock is  determined  according  to  dividends
     declared  (or  accumulated)  and  participation   rights  in  undistributed
     earnings.  Under the  two-class  method,  the  Equity  Stock,  Series A was
     allocated  approximately   $2,258,000  of  net  income  and  the  remaining
     $45,265,000 was allocated to the regular common shares.

                                       8

<PAGE>

              Diluted net income per common share is computed using the weighted
     average common shares outstanding (adjusted for stock options).  Commencing
     January 1, 2000, the Company's  7,000,000 Class B common shares outstanding
     began  to  participate  in   distributions   of  the  Company's   earnings.
     Distributions per share of Class B common stock are equal to 97% of the per
     share distribution paid to the Company's regular common shares. As a result
     of  this  participation  in  distribution  of  earnings,  for  purposes  of
     computing  net  income  per  common  share,  the  Company  began to include
     6,790,000  (7,000,000 x 97%) Class B common shares in the weighted  average
     common  equivalent  shares  for the three  months  ended  March  31,  2000.
     Weighted  average shares for the three months ended March 31, 1999 does not
     include any shares with respect to the Class B common stock as these shares
     were not participating in distributions of the Company's  earnings prior to
     January 1, 2000.

     Stock-based compensation
     ------------------------

              In October 1995, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued
     Statement No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation" 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  No.  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. We have elected to adopt the disclosure  requirements  of
     Statement No. 123 but will continue to account for stock-based compensation
     under APB 25.

     Reclassifications
     -----------------

         Certain  reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial
     statements for 1999 in order to conform to the 2000 presentation.

3.   Merger with Storage Trust Realty, Inc.
     --------------------------------------

              On March 12,  1999,  we  completed  a merger  with  Storage  Trust
     Realty, Inc. ("Storage Trust").  All the outstanding stock of Storage Trust
     was exchanged for  13,009,485  shares of the Company's  common stock and an
     additional  1,011,963  shares were reserved for issuance upon conversion of
     limited partnership units in Storage Trust's operating partnership. In this
     merger, the Company acquired interests in 215 storage facilities located in
     16 states totaling approximately 12 million net rentable square feet.


              The historical  operating results of the merger with Storage Trust
     prior to March 12, 1999 have not been included in our historical  operating
     results. Pro forma selected financial data for the three months ended March
     31, 1999 as though the merger had been  effective at January 1, 1999 are as
     follows:

              The pro forma data does not purport to be indicative of operations
     that would have  occurred had the merger  occurred at the  beginning of the
     period or future  results of operations  of the Company.  Certain pro forma
     adjustments  were made to the  combined  historical  amounts to reflect (i)
     expected reductions in general and administrative  expenses, (ii) estimated
     increased  interest  costs to finance the cash  portion of the  acquisition
     cost, and (iii) estimated increased depreciation expense.

4.   Real estate facilities

              During the three  months  ended March 31,  2000,  we opened  seven
     newly  developed  facilities  having  approximately  562,000  aggregate net
     rentable  square feet.  Construction in progress at March 31, 2000 consists
     of  40  storage  facilities,  and  eight  expansions  of  existing  storage
     facilities.

              Our policy is to capitalize  interest  incurred on debt during the
     course of  construction  of our  self-storage  and  industrial  facilities.
     Interest  capitalized  during the three  months  ended  March 31,  2000 was
     $2,111,000 compared to $958,000 for the same period in 1999.

5.   Investment in real estate entities:
     -----------------------------------

              At March 31, 2000, our investment in real estate entities consists
     of (i)  partnership  interests  in  approximately  11  partnerships,  which
     principally own self-storage  facilities and (ii) our ownership interest in
     PSB. Such interests are non-controlling  interests of less than 50% and are
     accounted for using the equity method of accounting.  Accordingly, earnings
     are  recognized   based  upon  our  ownership   interest  in  each  of  the
     partnerships.  During the three  months  ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,  we
     recognized  earnings from our  investments  of $8,276,000  and  $8,122,000,
     respectively.

              In April  1997,  we  formed a joint  venture  partnership  with an
     institutional   investor  (the  "Joint  Venture")  to  participate  in  the
     development of approximately $220 million of storage facilities.  The Joint
     Venture  has a total of 44 opened  facilities  with a total  cost of $211.8
     million  at March 31,  2000,  and has three  projects  in  process  with an
     aggregate  cost  incurred  to date of  approximately  $15.3  million  ($2.8
     million estimated to complete) at March 31, 2000.

              Summarized combined financial data (based on historical cost) with
     respect to those  unconsolidated  real estate entities in which the Company
     had an ownership interest at March 31, 2000 are as follows:

6.   Revolving line of credit
     ------------------------

              The credit agreement (the "Credit Facility") has a borrowing limit
     of $150 million and an expiration date of July 1, 2002. The expiration date
     may be extended by one year on each  anniversary  of the credit  agreement.
     Interest on outstanding  borrowings is payable monthly.  At our option, 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). The Credit Facility allows us, at our
     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.  At March 31, 2000, we had no borrowing on our line
     of credit.

7.   Minority interest
     -----------------

              In  consolidation,  we  classify  ownership  interests  in the net
     assets  of each of the  Consolidated  Entities,  other  than  our  own,  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.

              In November  1999,  we formed a second  development  joint venture
     with a joint venture partner to develop $100 million of storage  facilities
     and to purchase $100 million of the Company's Equity Stock, Series AAA. The
     joint venture is funded solely with equity  capital  consisting of 51% from
     the Company and 49% from the joint  venture  partner.  The joint venture is
     consolidated and,  accordingly,  the Equity Stock, Series AAA is eliminated
     in   consolidation.   Included  in  minority   interest  is  $67.1  million
     contributed by the joint venture partner since inception of the venture.

              On March 17,  2000,  we issued  $240.0  million  of 9.5%  Series N
     Cumulative  Redeemable  Perpetual Preferred Units and on March 29, 2000, we
     issued $75.0  million of 9.125%  Series O Cumulative  Redeemable  Perpetual
     Preferred  Units in one of our  operating  partnerships.  The units are not
     redeemable during the first 5 years, thereafter, at our option, we can call
     the  units  for   redemption  at  the  issuance   amount  plus  any  unpaid
     distributions.  The units are not  redeemable  by the  holder.  Subject  to
     certain  conditions,  the Series N  preferred  units are  convertible  into
     shares  of 9.5%  Series  N  Cumulative  Preferred  Stock  and the  Series O
     preferred units are  convertible  into shares of 9.125% Series O Cumulative
     Preferred  Stock of the  Company.  These  transactions  had the  effect  of
     increasing  minority  interest by $315 million.  For the three months ended
     March 31, 2000, these preferred units were paid in aggregate  approximately
     $925,000  in  distributions  and  received a  corresponding  allocation  of
     minority interest in earnings.

              In  connection  with the merger with Storage  Trust in March 1999,
     minority interest  increased by approximately  $27,009,000,  reflecting the
     fair value of operating  partnership  units ("OP Units") in Storage Trust's
     operating partnership owned by minority interests. OP Units are convertible
     on a one-for-one basis (subject to certain  limitations) into common shares
     of the Company at the option of the unitholder. Minority interest in income
     with respect to OP Units  reflects the OP Units' share of the net income of
     the Company,  with net income allocated to minority  interests with respect
     to  weighted  average  outstanding  OP Units on a per unit  basis  equal to
     diluted earnings per common share.  During the three months ended March 31,
     2000,  277,104 OP units were redeemed in  connection  with the sale of real
     estate facilities and other minority interest transactions, and the related
     impact on minority  interest is  included  in the  transactions  summarized
     below. As of March 31, 2000, 493,788 of such units are outstanding.

                                       12

<PAGE>

              Minority interest was reduced by $6,427,000 in connection with the
     disposition  of real estate  facilities.  In addition,  in the three months
     ended March 31, 2000, the Company  acquired  interests in the  Consolidated
     Entities for an aggregate  cost of  $26,963,000,  comprised of  $26,613,000
     cash  and  the  forgiveness  of  a  note  receivable  of  $350,000;   these
     acquisitions had the effect of reducing  minority  interest by $12,542,000,
     with the excess of cost over underlying book value ($14,421,000)  allocated
     to real estate.

8.   Shareholders' equity

     Preferred stock
     ---------------

              At March 31, 2000 and  December  31,  1999,  we had the  following

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

              The Series A through Series M preferred  stock  (collectively  the
     "Senior  Preferred  Stock") have general  preference rights with respect to
     liquidation and quarterly  distributions.  Holders of the 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  members  to serve on the  Company's  Board of  Directors  until
     events  of  default  have been  cured.  At March 31,  2000,  there  were no
     dividends in arrears and the Debt Ratio was 3.3%.

                                       13

<PAGE>

              Except  under  certain   conditions   relating  to  the  Company's
     qualification as a REIT, the Senior Preferred Stock is not redeemable 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,  Series K - January 19, 2004, Series L - March 10, 2004, Series M
     - August 17, 2004. 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 G,  Series H,  Series I, Series J, Series K, Series L and Series M),
     plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

     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 January 2000, we issued 4,300,555  depositary shares (2,200,555
     shares as part of a special distribution  declared on November 15, 1999 and
     2,100,000 shares in a separate public offering) each  representing  1/1,000
     of a share of Equity Stock,  Series A ("Equity Stock A"). The Equity Stock,
     Series A ranks on a parity  with  common  stock and  junior  to the  Senior
     Preferred  Stock  with  respect  to  general  preference  rights  and has a
     liquidation amount which cannot exceed $24.50 per share. Distributions with
     respect to each depositary  share shall be the lesser of: a) five times the
     per share dividend on the Common Stock or b) $2.45 per annum  (prorated for
     the year 2000).  Except in order to preserve the Company's  federal  income
     tax status as a REIT, we may not redeem the depositary  shares before March
     31,  2005.  On or after March 31, 2005,  we may, at our option,  redeem the
     depositary  shares at $24.50 per depositary  share. If the Company fails to
     preserve its federal  income tax status as a REIT,  the  depositary  shares
     will  be  convertible  into  common  stock  on a one  for  one  basis.  The
     depositary shares are otherwise not convertible into common stock.  Holders
     of  depositary  shares  vote as a single  class with our  holders of common
     stock on shareholder matters, but the depositary shares have the equivalent
     of one-tenth of a vote per depositary  share.  We have no obligation to pay
     distributions if no distributions are paid to common shareholders.

              In June  1997,  we  contributed  $22,500,000  (225,000  shares) of
     equity stock, now designated as Equity Stock, Series AA ("Equity Stock AA")
     to a partnership in which we are the general  partner.  As a result of this
     contribution,  we 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 AA ranks on a
     parity  with  Common  Stock and junior to the Senior  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 AA are equal
     to the  lesser of (i) 10 times the  amount  paid per  Common  Stock or (ii)
     $2.20. We have no obligation to pay  distributions if no distributions  are
     paid to common shareholders.

                                       14

<PAGE>

              In  November  1999,  we sold  $100,000,000  (4,289,544  shares) of
     Equity  Stock,  Series AAA  ("Equity  Stock AAA") to a newly  formed  joint
     venture.  We control the joint venture and  consolidate the accounts of the
     joint  venture,  and  accordingly  the Equity  Stock AAA is  eliminated  in
     consolidation. The Equity Stock AAA ranks on a parity with common stock and
     junior to the Senior  Preferred  Stock (as defined  below) with  respect to
     general  preference  rights,  and has a liquidation amount equal to 120% of
     the amount distributed to each common share. Annual distributions per share
     are equal to the lesser of (i) five times the amount paid per common  share
     or  (ii)  $2.1564.  We  have  no  obligation  to  pay  distributions  if no
     distributions are paid to common shareholders.

     Common Stock
     ------------

              During the three months ended March 31, 1999,  the Company  issued
     105,834  shares of common  stock in  connection  with the exercise of stock
     options.

              As  previously   announced,   the  Company's  Board  of  Directors
     authorized the repurchase  from time to time of up to 15,000,000  shares of
     the  Company's  common stock on the open market or in privately  negotiated
     transactions.  In the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the Company repurchased
     a total of 1,380,300  shares,  for a total aggregate cost of  approximately
     $30.7 million.  From the initial  authorization through March 31, 2000, the
     Company has  repurchased a total of 8,789,127  shares of common stock at an
     aggregate cost of approximately $211.6 million.  From April 1, 2000 through
     April 26, 2000, the Company has repurchased  129,600 shares at an aggregate
     cost of approximately $2.9 million.

     Class B Common Stock
     --------------------

              The Class B Common  Stock was  eligible  to receive  distributions
     commencing  January 1, 2000 and will  participate in  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,  (i)  not  participate  in  liquidating
     distributions,  (ii) not be entitled to vote (except as expressly  required
     by California law) and (iii) 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) 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,  and (b) less FFO attributable to
     minority  interest.  FFO per common  share means FFO less  preferred  stock
     dividends and equity stock,  Series A dividends  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
     above) was $2.57 for the four consecutive calendar quarters ended March 31,
     2000.

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

              At December  31,  1999,  the  Company  had  accrued  distributions
     totaling  $82,086,000 ($0.64 per share) of the common dividend for 1999, of
     which  $38,076,000 was paid on January 14, 2000 in cash and $44,010,000 was
     paid in the issuance of depositary  shares of the  Company's  Equity Stock,
     Series A.

              The  dividend  rate on the Series C Preferred  Stock for the first
     quarter of 2000 was equal to 6.897% per annum.  The dividend rate per annum
     will be adjusted quarterly and will be equal to the highest of one of three
     U.S. Treasury indices (Treasury Bill Rate, Ten Year Constant Maturity Rate,
     or Thirty Year Constant  Maturity Rate)  multiplied by 110%.  However,  the
     dividend  rate for any dividend  period will neither be less than 6.75% per
     annum nor greater than 10.75%.  The  dividend  rate for the quarter  ending
     June 30, 2000 will be equal to 6.974% per annum.

9.   Segment Information
     -------------------

              In July 1997,  the FASB issued  Statement of Financial  Accounting
     Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
     Information"  ("FAS 131"),  which  establishes  standards  for the way that
     public business  enterprises report  information about operating  segments.
     This statement is effective for financial  statements for periods beginning
     after  December 15, 1997. We adopted this  standard  effective for the year
     ended December 31, 1998. For information  regarding the description of each
     reportable segment,  policies relating to the measurement of segment profit
     or loss, and segment assets, refer to the consolidated financial statements
     and footnotes  thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K
     for the year ended December 31, 1999.

              Our income statement provides most of the information  required in
     order to  determine  the  performance  of each of our three  segments.  The
     following  tables  reconcile the  performance of each segment,  in terms of
     segment  revenues and segment  income,  our  consolidated  revenues and net

ITEM 2. 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.

         FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS:  When used within this document,  the words
"expects,"  "believes,"   "anticipates,"   "should,"  "estimates,"  and  similar
expressions  are intended to identify  "forward-looking  statements"  within the
meaning of that term in Section 27A of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1933, as
amended,  and in Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,  uncertainties,
and other  factors,  which may cause the actual  results and  performance of the
Company  to be  materially  different  from  those  expressed  or implied in the
forward looking statements.  Such factors include the impact of competition from
new and existing self-storage and commercial facilities which could impact rents
and occupancy  levels at the  Company's  facilities;  the  Company's  ability to
evaluate,  finance,  and integrate  acquired and developed  properties  into the
Company's existing  operations;  the Company's ability to effectively compete in
the markets that it does business in; the impact of the  regulatory  environment
as well as national,  state, and local laws and regulations  including,  without
limitation,  those governing Real Estate  Investment  Trusts;  the acceptance by
consumers of the Pickup and  Delivery  concept;  the impact of general  economic
conditions upon rental rates and occupancy  levels at the Company's  facilities;
and the availability of permanent capital at attractive rates.

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

         Net income for the three  months  ended March 31, 2000 was  $72,561,000
compared to $61,842,000 for the same period in 1999, representing an increase of
$10,719,000  or 17.3%.  The increase in net income was  primarily  the result of
improved  property  operations  and the  acquisition  of additional  real estate
investments during 1999 and 2000 (including the merger with Storage Trust, which
occurred on March 12, 1999).

         Net income  allocable to common  shareholders  was $45,265,000 or $0.34
per common  share on a diluted  basis  (based on  132,902,000  weighted  average
common  equivalent  shares) for the three months  ended March 31, 2000.  For the
same period in 1999, net income allocable to common shareholders was $40,312,000
or $0.34 per common  share on a diluted  basis  (based on  119,014,000  weighted
average common equivalent  shares).  In computing net income allocable to common
shareholders  for each period,  aggregate  dividends  paid to the holders of the
Equity Stock, Series A and preferred stock have been deducted from net income in
determining net income allocable to the common shareholders.  Commencing January
1, 2000,  the Company's  7,000,000  Class B common shares  outstanding  began to
participate in distributions of the Company's earnings.  Distributions per share
of Class B common stock are equal to 97% of the per share  distribution  paid to
the  Company's  regular  common  shares.  As a result of this  participation  in
distribution of earnings, for purposes of computing net income per common share,
the Company began to include  6,790,000  (7,000,000 x 97%) Class B common shares
in the  weighted  average  common  equivalent  shares for the three months ended
March 31, 2000. Weighted average diluted shares for the three months ended March
31, 1999 does not include any shares with respect to the Class B common stock as
these shares were not  participating in distributions of the Company's  earnings
prior to January 1, 2000.

REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Rental  income  and cost of  operations  have  increased  for the three
months  ended  March 31,  2000  compared  to the same  period in 1999 due to our
merger and  acquisition  activities  throughout  1999 and 2000, most notably the
merger with  Storage  Trust on March 12, 1999.  As a result of these items,  the
number of facilities included in the Company's consolidated financial statements
has increased from 1,168 at March 31, 1999 to 1,209 at March 31, 2000.

promotional  discounts  totaling  $5.7 million  compared to $4.2 million for the
same period in 1999. In addition,  included in cost of operations  for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 are costs associated with the telephone  reservation
center and advertising  totaling $4.9 million,  compared to $4.0 million for the
same period in 1999.  During the three months ended March 31, 2000,  the Company
opened seven newly constructed storage  facilities,  which had an aggregate cost
of approximately  $34.4 million.  Rental income and cost of operations  included
above  with  respect  to these  facilities  totaled  approximately  $31,000  and
$131,000, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2000.

         COMMERCIAL  PROPERTY  OPERATIONS:.  Our commercial  property operations
principally  consist  of our  investment  in  PSB,  an  affiliated  real  estate
investment  trust,  and to a much lesser  extent  commercial  space owned by the
Company and Consolidated Entities. The following table sets forth the historical
commercial property amounts included in the financial statements:

         PORTABLE SELF-STORAGE OPERATIONS:  At March 31, 2000, PSPUD operated 36
facilities. Due to the start-up nature of the business, PSPUD incurred operating
losses  totaling  approximately  $1,832,000  and  $3,936,000 in the three months
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, summarized as follows:

(A)  Amounts reflect that portion of consolidated  depreciation  and general and
     administrative  expense  that  is  directly  attributable  to the  portable
     self-storage business.

         Until the PSPUD facilities are operating profitable, PSPUD's operations
are expected to continue to  adversely  impact the  Company's  earnings and cash
flows. There can be no assurances as to the level of PSPUD's expansion, level of
gross rentals, level of move-outs or profitability.

         EQUITY  IN  EARNINGS  OF  REAL  ESTATE  ENTITIES:  In  addition  to our
ownership  of equity  interests  in PSB, we had general and limited  partnership
interests in 12 limited  partnerships  at March 31,  2000.  (PSB and the limited
partnerships are collectively referred to as the "Unconsolidated Entities.") Due
to our  limited  ownership  interest  and control of these  entities,  we do not
consolidate the accounts of these entities for financial reporting purposes, and
account for such investments using the equity method.

        Equity in earnings of real estate  entities for the year ended March 31,
2000 consists of our pro rata share of the  Unconsolidated  Entities  based upon
our   ownership   interest  for  the  period.   Similar  to  the  Company,   the
Unconsolidated  Entities  (other than PSB) generate  substantially  all of their
income  from their  ownership  of storage  facilities,  which we manage.  In the
aggregate,  the Unconsolidated  Entities (including PSB) own a total of 237 real
estate facilities, 111 of which are storage facilities. The following table sets
forth the significant components of equity in earnings of real estate entities:

         The  increase  in 2000  equity  in  earnings  of real  estate  entities
compared to 1999 is principally the result of improved operations of PSB. Equity
in Earnings with respect to the Development Joint Venture represent our pro rata
share of the operating  results of an  unconsolidated  joint  venture  formed in
April 1997 in which we have a 30%  ownership  interest.  The joint  venture  was
formed for the purpose of developing  approximately $220 million of self-storage
facilities.  As of March 31, 2000, 44 of the joint  venture's 47 properties  are
completed and operating,  substantially  all of which are in the fill-up process
and have not reached stabilized occupancy levels.

         Facility management operations are primarily attributable to management
of  self-storage  properties.   At  March  31,  2000,  we  managed  159  storage
facilities.

         Sales of  packaging  material  and truck  rentals  have  increased as a
result of  opening  additional  stores,  as well as  increases  at our  existing
stores.

         Interest and other income is primarily  attributable to interest income
on cash balances and interest income from mortgage notes receivable.

         DEPRECIATION AND  AMORTIZATION:  Depreciation and amortization  expense
has  increased  $5,878,000 to  $36,034,000  for the three months ended March 31,
2000 as compared to $30,156,000 for the same period in 1999. These increases are
principally due to the acquisition of additional real estate  facilities  during
1999 and 2000.  Amortization  expense with respect to intangible  assets totaled
$2,328,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.

         MINORITY INTEREST IN INCOME: Minority interest in income represents the
income allocable to equity interests in the Consolidated Entities, which are not
owned by the  Company.  Minority  interest in income for the three  months ended
March 31,  2000 was  $4,389,000  compared to  $3,353,000  for the same period in
1999.

         In November 1999, we formed a joint venture partnership for the purpose
of  developing  approximately  $100 million of  self-storage  facilities  and to
purchase  $100 million of our Equity Stock,  Series AAA. The venture,  which has
been  consolidated,  is funded solely with equity capital consisting of 51% from
us and 49% from the joint venture partner.  Minority interest in income includes
approximately  $68,000 of loss  allocated to our joint  venture  partner.  As of
March 31,  2000,  our joint  venture  partner had invested  approximately  $67.1
million.

         On March 17, 2000, we issued $240.0 million of 9.5% Series N Cumulative
Redeemable  Perpetual  Preferred  Units and on March 29,  2000,  we issued $75.0
million of 9.125% Series O Cumulative  Redeemable  Perpetual  Preferred Units in
one of our  consolidated  operating  partnerships.  The  issuance  of  preferred
partnership  units  had the  effect  of  increasing  minority  interest  by $315
million.  For the three months ended March 31, 2000,  these preferred units were
paid in  aggregate  approximately  $925,000  in  distributions  and  received  a
corresponding allocation of minority interest in earnings for the partial period
in which the units were outstanding.

         On March 30, 2000, we acquired the remaining  minority  interest in one
of our  consolidated  partnerships.  The aggregate cost of the  acquisition  was
approximately  $23.6 million in cash.  Minority interest in income for the three
months ended March 31, 2000,  includes  income  allocated to these  interests of
approximately $602,000.

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

         At March 31,  2000,  there were  approximately  46  ownership  entities
owning in aggregate 1,316 storage facilities,  including the facilities which we
own and/or  operate.  At March 31, 2000, 111 of these  facilities  were owned by
Unconsolidated Entities, entities in which we have an ownership interest and use
the equity  method for financial  statement  presentation.  The remaining  1,205
facilities are owned by the Company and Consolidated Entities.

         The following table summarizes our investment in real estate facilities
as of March 31, 2000:

         In  order  to  evaluate  how  our  overall   portfolio  has  performed,
management  analyzes  the  operating   performance  of  a  consistent  group  of
self-storage facilities representing 965 (56.5 million net rentable square feet)
of the  1,316  self-storage  facilities  (herein  referred  to as  "Same  Store"
self-storage  facilities).  The 965  facilities  represent a pool of properties,
which have been operated under the "Public Storage" name, at a stabilized level,
by the Company since  January 1, 1994.  From time to time,  the Company  removes
facilities  from the  "Same  Store"  pool as a  result  of  expansions  or other
activities,  which make such  facilities'  results  not  comparable  to previous
periods. The Same Store group of properties includes 896 consolidated facilities
and  69  facilities  owned  by  Unconsolidated  Entities.  The  following  table
summarizes the  pre-depreciation  historical operating results of the Same Store
self-storage facilities:

2.       Gross  profit  margin is computed by dividing  property  net  operating
         income  (before  depreciation  expense) by rental  revenues.  The gross
         profit margin  excluding  the facility  management  fee was 70.3%,  and
         70.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

3.       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 than the scheduled
         rental rates,  since scheduled rates can be discounted  through the use
         of promotions.

         Rental  income  for the  Same  Store  facilities  included  promotional
discounts  totaling  $4.5  million  for the three  months  ended  March 31, 2000
compared to $4.0 million for the same period in 1999.

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

         We believe that our internally generated net cash provided by operating
activities  will  continue to be  sufficient  to enable it to meet our operating
expenses,  capital improvements,  debt service requirements and distributions to
shareholders for the foreseeable future.

         Operating as a real estate  investment  trust ("REIT"),  our ability to
retain cash flow for reinvestment is restricted. In order for us to maintain our
REIT status,  a substantial  portion of our operating  cash flow must be used to
make  distributions  to our  shareholders  (see "REIT STATUS"  below).  However,
despite the significant distribution requirements, we have been able to retain a
significant  amount of our operating cash flow. The following  table  summarizes
our ability to make the minority interests' distributions,  dividend payments 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 make both  scheduled  and  optional  principal
payments on debt and for reinvestment.

         We expect to fund our growth  strategies with cash on hand at March 31,
2000,  internally  generated  retained cash flows,  proceeds from issuing equity
securities and borrowings under our $150 million credit  facility.  We intend 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.

         Our  portfolio  of  real  estate   facilities   remains   substantially
unencumbered.  At March 31, 2000,  we had  mortgage  debt  outstanding  of $28.7
million and had  consolidated  real estate  facilities with a book value of $3.4
billion.  We have not  financed our  acquisitions  with debt and  generally  our
borrowing has increased  through the assumption of pre-existing debt on acquired
real estate  facilities,  including  $100 million in debt assumed in  connection
with the merger with Storage Trust.

         During the first  quarter  of 2000,  we issued  $240.0  million of 9.5%
Series N Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (issued March 17, 2000)
and $75.0 million of 9.125% Series O Cumulative  Redeemable  Perpetual Preferred
Units (issued March 29, 2000) in one of our  operating  partnerships.  The units
are not redeemable during the first 5 years,  thereafter,  at our option, we can
call  the  units  for  redemption  at  the  issuance   amount  plus  any  unpaid
distributions.  The units are not  redeemable by the holder.  Subject to certain
conditions,  the Series N preferred  units are  convertible  into shares of 9.5%
Series N  Cumulative  Preferred  Stock  and the  Series O  preferred  units  are
convertible  into shares of 9.125%  Series O Cumulative  Preferred  Stock of the
Company. The net proceeds raised through the issuance of the preferred units are
expected to be used primarily to fund our development activities.

         DISTRIBUTION  REQUIREMENTS:  Our 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
reduce  debt.  During  the  three  months  ended  March 31,  2000 and  1999,  we
distributed  to common  shareholders  approximately  34.9% and 39.8% of our cash
available from operations allocable to common shareholders, respectively.

         During the three months  ended March  31,2000,  we paid cash  dividends
totaling $25,038,000 to the holders of our Senior Preferred Stock and $2,258,000
to the holders of Equity Stock,  Series A. We estimate the regular  distribution
requirements for fiscal 2000 with respect to Senior Preferred Stock  outstanding
at March 31, 2000 to be approximately $100.2 million. With respect to the Equity
Stock,  Series A issued in January 2000, the prorated  annual  distribution  for
2000  (assuming  that at least $0.49 is paid per common share) is  approximately
$10.2 million.

         During  the three  months  ended  March  31,  2000,  we paid  dividends
totaling  $111,170,000  to the  holders of our  common  stock  which  includes a
special  distribution of approximately  $82,086,000  related to fiscal 1999. The
special distribution was paid on January 14, 2000 to our common shareholders and
consisted of $38,076,000  in cash and  $44,010,000 in the issuance of depositary
shares of Equity  Stock,  Series  A. On March  31,  2000 we paid cash  dividends
totaling  $27,590,000  to common  shareholders  and $1,494,000 to Class B common
shareholders.  Distributions with respect to the classes of common stock will be
determined  based upon our REIT  distribution  requirements  after  taking  into
consideration distributions to the Company's preferred shareholders.

         CAPITAL  IMPROVEMENT  REQUIREMENTS:   During  2000,  we  have  budgeted
approximately  $26.2 million for capital  improvements.  The minority interests'
share of the budgeted capital improvements is approximately $0.7 million. During
the three months  ended March 31,  2000,  we incurred  capital  improvements  of
approximately $4.1 million.

         DEBT SERVICE  REQUIREMENTS:  We do not believe we have any  significant
refinancing risks with respect to our note payable,  all of which is fixed rate.
At March 31,  2000,  we had total  outstanding  notes  payable of  approximately
$166.7 million.  Approximate  principal maturities of notes payable at March 31,
2000 are as follows:

         REPURCHASES OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK: As previously announced, our
Board  of  Directors  authorized  the  repurchase  from  time  to  time of up to
15,000,000  shares  of the  Company's  common  stock  in the open  market  or in
privately  negotiated  transactions.  In the quarter  ended March 31,  2000,  we
repurchased  a  total  of  1,380,300  shares,  for a  total  aggregate  cost  of
approximately $30.7 million.  From the initial  authorization  through March 31,
2000, the Company has repurchased a total of 8,789,127 shares of common stock at
an aggregate cost of  approximately  $211.6 million.  From April 1, 2000 through
April 26, 2000,  we have  repurchased  129,600  shares at an  aggregate  cost of
approximately $2.9 million.

         DEVELOPMENT OF SELF-STORAGE  FACILITIES:  As previously  announced,  in
April 1997, we formed a joint venture partnership with an institutional investor
for the purpose of developing up to $220 million of self-storage facilities. The
joint venture is funded solely with equity capital consisting of 30% from us and
70% from the institutional investor. Our share of the cost of the real estate in
the joint venture is approximately $68 million at March 31, 2000.

         As of March 31, 2000,  the joint  venture had 44 operating  facilities,
with  2,659,000  net  rentable  square  feet  and  total  development  costs  of
approximately  $211.8  million.  As of March  31,  2000,  the joint  venture  is
developing three additional projects  (approximately 221,000 net rentable square
feet) that were in  process,  with total  costs  incurred  of $15.3  million and
estimated remaining costs to complete of $2.8 million.

         In November 1999, we formed a second joint venture  partnership for the
development  of  approximately  $100  million of  self-storage  facilities.  The
venture is funded solely with equity  capital  consisting of 51% from us and 49%
from the joint venture partner.  At March 31, 2000, the second development joint
venture  was  committed  to  develop 8  facilities  (approximately  530,000  net
rentable  sq. ft.) with an estimated  development  cost of  approximately  $39.4
million, of which five facilities  (approximately  304,000 net rentable sq. ft.)
were  completed  with an aggregate cost of  approximately  $22.0 million.  As of
March 31,  2000,  the  second  development  joint  venture is  developing  three
additional projects  (approximately  226,000 net rentable square feet) that were
in process,  with total costs incurred of $14.9 million and estimated  remaining
costs to complete of $2.5 million.  We have  submitted 14 additional  facilities
for approval with total estimated costs of approximately  $67.7 million; we have
incurred  approximately  $25.2  million  through  March 31, 2000 with respect to
these 14 projects, and upon approval,  these projects will be transferred to the
joint venture and the joint venture partner will contribute its 49% share.

         Excluding  the 14  properties  that are being  reviewed  by the  second
development joint venture and the six properties that the two joint ventures are
developing,  we are developing 23 additional  storage  facilities.  At March 31,
2000, we had incurred costs of $79.2 million with respect to these 23 facilities
(estimated remaining costs to complete of approximately $79.1 million).  We have
also identified 18 additional  storage  facilities for  development,  with total
estimated costs of approximately  $113.6 million.  These projects are subject to
significant contingencies.

         REIT STATUS:  We believe that we have operated,  and intend 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 we will at all  times  so
qualify.  To the extent that we  continue  to qualify as a REIT,  we will not be
taxed,  with  certain  limited  exceptions,   on  the  taxable  income  that  is
distributed  to our  shareholders,  provided  that at least  95% of our  taxable
income is so  distributed  prior to filing of our tax return.  We have satisfied
the REIT distribution requirement since 1980.

         FUNDS FROM  OPERATIONS:  Total funds from operations or "FFO" increased
to  $110,685,000  for  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2000  compared  to
$92,634,000  for the same period in 1999.  FFO available to common  shareholders
(after  deducting  preferred stock  dividends)  increased to $83,389,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $71,104,000 for the same period in
1999.  FFO means net income or (loss)  (computed in  accordance  with  generally
accepted   accounting   principles)   before:   (i)  gain  or  (loss)  on  early
extinguishment  of debt,  (ii)  minority  interest  in income  and (iii) gain or
(loss)  on the  disposition  of real  estate,  adjusted  as  follows:  (a)  plus
depreciation and amortization  (including our pro-rata share of depreciation and
amortization  of  unconsolidated  equity  interests and  amortization  of assets
acquired in a merger,  including property  management  agreements and goodwill),
and (b) 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 goodwill. In our case, FFO represents amounts
attributable to our  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 management, as well
as many industry analysts, consider FFO to be one measure of our performance 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  our  other  obligations.  Accordingly,  FFO  is not a
substitute for cash flow or net income (as discussed  above) as a measure of our
liquidity or operating performance.  FFO is not comparable to similarly entitled
items  reported by other REITs that do not define it exactly as we have  defined
it.

ITEM 3.  QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
- -------------------------------------------------------------------

         To limit our  exposure  to market  risk,  we  principally  finance  our
operations and growth with permanent equity capital, consisting of either common
or  preferred  stock.  At March  31,  2000,  our debt as a  percentage  of total
shareholders' equity (based on book values) was 4.4%.

         Our  preferred  stock is not  redeemable  by the holders.  Except under
certain  conditions  relating to our  qualification as a REIT, we may not redeem
the Senior  Preferred Stock 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,  Series K - January 19, 2004,  Series L -
March 10, 2004 and Series M - August 17, 2004. On or after the respective dates,
each of the  series of Senior  Preferred  Stock  will be  redeemable  at the our
option,  in whole or in part, at $25 per share (or depositary  share in the case
of the Series G, Series H, Series I, Series J, Series K, Series L and Series M),
plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

         Our market risk  sensitive  instruments  include notes  payable,  which
totaled  $166.7  million at March 31, 2000.  Substantially  all of the Company's
notes payable bear interest at fixed rates. See Item 2 - Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of  Operations - Liquidity and
Capital Resources for approximate  principal  maturities of the notes payable as
of March 31, 2000.

                                    EXHIBIT A

                      RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
                             OF PUBLIC STORAGE, INC.

                   ESTABLISHING A SERIES OF 9.125% CUMULATIVE
                            PREFERRED STOCK, SERIES O


                  RESOLVED  that pursuant to the  authority  conferred  upon the
Board of Directors by Article III of the Restated  Articles of  Incorporation of
this  Corporation,  there  is  hereby  established  a series  of the  authorized
preferred shares of this Corporation having a par value of $.01 per share, which
series shall be designated "9.125% Cumulative  Preferred Stock, Series O," shall
consist of 3,000 shares and shall have the  following  rights,  preferences  and
privileges:

                  (a) Dividend Rights.
                      ---------------

                  (1)  Dividends  shall be payable in cash on each share of this
Series when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors,  out of funds legally
available  therefor (i) for the period (the "INITIAL  DIVIDEND PERIOD") from and
including the date of issuance of such share (the "ISSUE DATE") to but excluding
the first day of the first calendar  quarter  occurring after the Issue Date and
(ii) for each quarterly  dividend period thereafter (the Initial Dividend Period
and each quarterly dividend period being hereinafter individually referred to as
a "DIVIDEND PERIOD" and collectively  referred to as "DIVIDEND PERIODS"),  which
quarterly  Dividend Periods shall be in four equal amounts and shall commence on
January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 in each year (each, a "DIVIDEND  PERIOD
COMMENCEMENT  DATE"),  commencing on the first day of the first calendar quarter
occurring  after the Issue  Date,  and  shall  end on and  include  the day next
preceding the next Dividend Period  Commencement Date, at a rate per annum equal
to 9.125% of the $25,000 per share stated value thereof (the  "DIVIDEND  RATE").
Dividends on each share of this Series shall be  cumulative  from the Issue Date
and shall be payable (i)  quarterly,  in  arrears,  on or before the last day of
each  Dividend  Period and (ii) in the event of  redemption,  on the  applicable
redemption date; PROVIDED, that if any such day shall be a Saturday,  Sunday, or
a day on which  banking  institutions  in the  State of New York or the State of
California are authorized or obligated by law to close,  or a day which is or is
declared  a  national  or a New York or  California  state  holiday  (any of the
foregoing  a  "NON-BUSINESS  DAY"),  then  the  payment  date  shall be the next
succeeding day which is not a Non-Business Day. Each such dividend shall be paid
to the  holders of record of shares of this  Series as they  appear on the stock
register of the  Corporation on such record date, not more than 45 days nor less
than 15 days preceding the payment date thereof,  as shall be fixed by the Board
of Directors.  Dividends on account of arrears for any past Dividend Periods may
be declared  and paid at any time,  without  reference  to any regular  dividend
payment date, to holders of record on such date,  not more than 45 days nor less
than 15 days preceding the payment date thereof, as may be fixed by the Board of
Directors.  After full  cumulative  dividends  on this  Series have been paid or
declared  and  funds  therefor  irrevocably  deposited  in trust  for  immediate
payment,  including for the then current Dividend Period,  the holders of shares
of this Series will not be entitled  to any further  dividends  with  respect to
that Dividend Period.

                  (2) Dividends  payable on shares of this Series for any period
greater or less than a full  Dividend  Period,  including  the Initial  Dividend
Period,  shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year  consisting  of twelve
30-day months.

                  (3) The Corporation  shall not declare or pay or set apart for
payment  any  dividends  on  any  series  of  preferred  shares  ranking,  as to
dividends,  on a parity  with or  junior  to the  shares  of this  Series  as to
dividends or upon liquidation  unless full cumulative  dividends with respect to
shares of this Series have been or  contemporaneously  are declared and paid, or
declared and a sum sufficient for payment thereof irrevocably deposited in trust
for immediate payment,  for all Dividend Periods  terminating on or prior to the
date of payment of any such dividends on such other series of preferred  shares.
When dividends are not paid in full upon the shares of this Series and any other
series  of  preferred  shares  ranking  on a parity  therewith  as to  dividends

                                       2

(including,  without limitation,  the shares of the Corporation's 10% Cumulative
Preferred  Stock,  Series A (the "SERIES A PREFERRED  STOCK"),  9.20% Cumulative
Preferred  Stock,  Series B (the "SERIES B PREFERRED  STOCK"),  9.50% Cumulative
Preferred  Stock,  Series D (the  "SERIES D PREFERRED  STOCK"),  10%  Cumulative
Preferred  Stock,  Series E (the "SERIES E PREFERRED  STOCK"),  9.75% Cumulative
Preferred Stock,  Series F (the "SERIES F PREFERRED  STOCK"),  8-7/8% Cumulative
Preferred  Stock,  Series G (the "SERIES G PREFERRED  STOCK"),  8.45% Cumulative
Preferred Stock,  Series H (the "SERIES H PREFERRED  STOCK"),  8-5/8% Cumulative
Preferred  Stock,  Series I (the  "SERIES I  PREFERRED  STOCK"),  8%  Cumulative
Preferred Stock,  Series J (the "SERIES J PREFERRED  STOCK"),  8 1/4% Cumulative

Preferred  Stock,  Series L (the "SERIES L PREFERRED  STOCK"),  8.75% Cumulative
Preferred  Stock,  Series M (the "SERIES M PREFERRED  STOCK"),  9.5%  Cumulative
Preferred Stock,  Series N (the "SERIES N PREFERRED  STOCK") and Adjustable Rate
Cumulative  Preferred Stock,  Series C (the "ADJUSTABLE RATE PREFERRED STOCK")),
all  dividends  declared  upon  shares of this  Series  and any other  series of
preferred shares ranking on a parity therewith as to dividends shall be declared
pro rata so that the  amount of  dividends  declared  per share on the shares of
this Series and such other series of preferred shares shall in all cases bear to
each  other  that same ratio  that the  accumulated  dividends  per share on the
shares of this  Series and such other  series of  preferred  shares bear to each
other.  Except as provided in the  preceding  sentence,  unless full  cumulative
dividends  on the  shares of this  Series  have been paid for all past  Dividend
Periods,  no dividends (other than in shares of the Corporation's  common stock,
par value $.10 per share (together with any other shares of capital stock of the
Corporation  into which such shares shall be  reclassified  or changed  ("COMMON
SHARES"),  or another  stock  ranking  junior to the shares of this Series as to
dividends  and upon  liquidation)  shall be  declared  or paid or set  aside for
payment nor shall any other  distribution  be made upon the Common  Shares or on
any other  stock of the  Corporation  ranking  junior to or on a parity with the
shares  of  this  Series  as to  dividends  or  upon  liquidation.  Unless  full
cumulative  dividends  on the shares of this  Series have been paid for all past
Dividend Periods, no Common Shares or any other stock of the Corporation ranking
junior to or on a parity with the shares of this Series as to  dividends or upon
liquidation  shall  be  redeemed,  purchased,  or  otherwise  acquired  for  any
consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for
the  redemption  of any  shares  of any such  stock) by the  Corporation  or any
subsidiary,  except by conversion  into or exchange for stock of the Corporation
ranking  junior  to  the  shares  of  this  Series  as  to  dividends  and  upon
liquidation.

                  (b) Liquidation.
                      -----------

                  In the  event of any  voluntary  or  involuntary  liquidation,
dissolution,  or winding up of the  Corporation,  the  holders of shares of this
Series are  entitled to receive out of the assets of the  Corporation  available
for distribution to  shareholders,  before any distribution of assets is made to
holders of Common Shares or any other class or series of shares  ranking  junior
to the shares of this Series upon liquidation,  liquidating distributions in the
amount of $25,000 per share plus all accumulated and unpaid  dividends  (whether
or not earned or declared) for the then current and all past  Dividend  Periods.
If, upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of
the  Corporation  the amounts  payable with respect to the shares of this Series
and any other shares of the Corporation ranking as to any such distribution on a
parity  with the  shares of this  Series  are not paid in full,  the  holders of
shares of this Series and of such other shares (including,  without  limitation,
the shares of Series A, Series B, Series D, Series E, Series F, Series G, Series
H, Series I, Series J, Series K, Series L, Series M and Series N Preferred Stock
and Adjustable Rate Preferred Stock) will share ratably in any such distribution
of assets of the Corporation in proportion to the full  respective  preferential
amounts  to which they are  entitled.  After  payment of the full  amount of the
liquidating  distribution  to which they are entitled,  the holders of shares of
this  Series  will  not  be  entitled  to  any  further   participation  in  any
distribution of assets by the Corporation.

                  (1) Written  notice of any such  liquidation,  dissolution  or
winding up of the  Corporation,  stating the payment date or dates when, and the
place or places where the amounts  distributable in such circumstances  shall be
payable,  shall be given by first class mail, postage pre-paid, not less than 30
nor more than 60 days prior to the payment date stated  therein,  to each record
holder of the shares of this Series at the respective  addresses of such holders
as the same shall appear on the stock transfer records of the Corporation.

                                       3

<PAGE>

                  (2) For purposes of liquidation  rights, a reorganization  (as
defined in Section 181 of the California  Corporations Code) or consolidation or
merger of the Corporation with or into any other  corporation or corporations or
a sale of all or  substantially  all of the assets of the  Corporation  shall be
deemed not to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

                  (c) Redemption.
                      ----------

                  (1) Except as provided in clause (9) below, the shares of this
Series are not  redeemable  prior to March 29, 2005. On and after such date, the
shares of this  Series  are  redeemable  at the  option of the  Corporation,  by
resolution  of the Board of  Directors,  in whole or in part,  from time to time
upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice,  at a cash redemption price
of $25,000 per share plus all accumulated and unpaid  dividends  (whether or not
earned or declared) to the date of redemption.

                  (2) If fewer than all the  outstanding  shares of this  Series
are to be redeemed,  the number of shares to be redeemed  will be  determined by
the Board of  Directors,  and such shares  shall be  redeemed  pro rata from the
holders of record of such shares in proportion to the number of such shares held
by such holders (with adjustments to avoid redemption of fractional shares).

                  (3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any dividends, including
any accumulation, on the shares of this Series are in arrears, no shares of this
Series  shall be  redeemed  unless  all  outstanding  shares of this  Series are
simultaneously  redeemed,  and the  Corporation  shall not purchase or otherwise
acquire, directly or indirectly,  any shares of this Series; PROVIDED,  however,
that the foregoing  shall not prevent the purchase or  acquisition  of shares of
this Series pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer provided such offer is made
on the same terms to all holders of shares of this Series.

                  (4)  Immediately  prior to any  redemption  of  shares of this
Series, the Corporation shall pay, in cash, any accumulated and unpaid dividends
through the  redemption  date,  unless a redemption  date falls after a dividend
payment  record date and prior to the  corresponding  dividend  payment date, in
which case each holder of shares of this Series at the close of business on such
dividend  payment record date shall be entitled to the dividend  payable on such
shares on the corresponding dividend payment date notwithstanding the redemption
of such shares before such dividend payment date.  Except as expressly  provided
herein  above,  the  Corporation  shall make no payment or allowance  for unpaid
dividends,  whether  or not in  arrears,  on shares of this  Series  called  for
redemption.

                  (5) Notice of redemption  shall be given by  publication  in a
newspaper  of general  circulation  in the County of Los Angeles and The City of
New York,  such  publication  to be made once a week for two  successive  weeks,
commencing  not less than 30 nor more than 60 days  prior to the date  fixed for
redemption  thereof.  A similar  notice  will be mailed by the  Company by first
class mail, postage pre-paid, to each record holder of the shares of this Series
to be redeemed,  not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to such redemption
date,  to the  respective  addresses of such holders as the same shall appear on
the stock transfer records of the Corporation.  Each notice shall state: (i) the
redemption date; (ii) the number of shares of this Series to be redeemed;  (iii)
the  redemption  price;  (iv) the place or places  where  certificates  for such
shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption  price;  and (v) that
dividends  on the  shares  to be  redeemed  will  cease  to  accumulate  on such
redemption  date. If fewer than all the shares of this Series held by any holder
are to be  redeemed,  the notice  mailed to such holder  shall also  specify the
number of shares of this Series to be redeemed from such holder.

                  (6) In order to  facilitate  the  redemption of shares of this
Series,  the Board of Directors may fix a record date for the  determination  of
the shares to be redeemed, such record date to be not less than 30 nor more than
60 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption.

                  (7) Notice having been given as provided above, from and after
the date fixed for the  redemption  of shares of this Series by the  Corporation
(unless the  Corporation  shall fail to make  available  the money  necessary to
effect such  redemption),  the holders of shares  selected for redemption  shall
cease to be shareholders  with respect to such shares and shall have no interest
in or claim against the  Corporation  by virtue thereof and shall have no voting

                                       4

or other  rights with  respect to such  shares,  except the right to receive the
moneys payable upon such redemption from the Corporation,  less any required tax
withholding amount, without interest thereon, upon surrender (and endorsement or
assignment  of  transfer,  if required by the  Corporation  and so stated in the
notice) of their  certificates,  and the  shares  represented  thereby  shall no
longer be deemed to be outstanding.  If fewer than all the shares represented by
a certificate are redeemed,  a new certificate shall be issued,  without cost to
the holder thereof,  representing the unredeemed shares. The Corporation may, at
its option, at any time after a notice of redemption has been given, deposit the
redemption price for the shares of this Series designated for redemption and not
yet redeemed,  plus any  accumulated  and unpaid  dividends  thereon to the date
fixed for  redemption,  with the transfer agent or agents for this Series,  as a
trust  fund  for the  benefit  of the  holders  of the  shares  of  this  Series
designated for redemption,  together with irrevocable instructions and authority
to such transfer agent or agents that such funds be delivered upon redemption of
such  shares  and to pay,  on and after the date fixed for  redemption  or prior
thereto, the redemption price of the shares to their respective holders upon the
surrender  of their  share  certificates.  From and  after  the  making  of such
deposit,  the holders of the shares  designated for redemption shall cease to be
shareholders  with respect to such shares and shall have no interest in or claim
against  the  Corporation  by virtue  thereof  and shall have no voting or other
rights with respect to such shares,  except the right to receive from such trust
fund the moneys payable upon such  redemption,  without interest  thereon,  upon
surrender  (and   endorsement,   if  required  by  the   Corporation)  of  their
certificates, and the shares represented thereby shall no longer be deemed to be
outstanding.  Any balance of such moneys  remaining  unclaimed at the end of the
five-year period  commencing on the date fixed for redemption shall be repaid to
the  Corporation  upon its request  expressed  in a  resolution  of its Board of
Directors.

                  (8) Any shares of this Series that shall at any time have been
redeemed  shall,  after  such  redemption,  have the  status of  authorized  but
unissued  preferred shares,  without  designation as to series until such shares
are  once  more  designated  as part of a  particular  series  by the  Board  of
Directors.

                  (9) If the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall, at any
time and in good faith,  be of the opinion that  ownership of  securities of the
Corporation  has or may become  concentrated  to an extent  that may prevent the
Corporation  from  qualifying as a real estate  investment  trust under the REIT
Provisions of the Internal  Revenue Code, then the Board of Directors shall have
the  power,  by lot or other  means  deemed  equitable  by them to  prevent  the
transfer  of and/or  to call for  redemption  a number of shares of this  Series
sufficient,  in the opinion of the Board of Directors,  to maintain or bring the
direct or indirect  ownership  thereof into conformity with the  requirements of
such a real estate  investment  trust under the REIT  Provisions of the Internal
Revenue  Code.  The  redemption  price to be paid for  shares of this  Series so
called for redemption, on the date fixed for redemption, shall be the average of
the highest bid and the lowest asked  quotations  on the last business day prior
to  the  redemption  date  as  reported  by  the  National   Quotation   Bureau,
Incorporated  or a  similar  organization  selected  from  time  to  time by the
Corporation  or if there be no such bid and asked  quotations,  as determined by
the Board of  Directors in good faith;  provided  that if interests in shares of
this Series are  represented by depositary  shares,  then the  redemption  price
shall be determined in accordance  with the  foregoing,  but with respect to one
depositary  share,  multiplied by the number of depositary  shares that together
represent an interest in one share of this Series. From and after the date fixed
for  redemption  by the Board of  Directors,  the  holder of any  shares of this
Series so called for redemption shall cease to be entitled to any distributions,
voting  rights and other  benefits  with  respect to such shares of this Series,
other than the right to payment of the redemption price determined as aforesaid.
"REIT  Provisions of the Internal  Revenue Code" shall mean Sections 856 through
860 of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  In order to exercise the
redemption  option set forth in this clause (9),  with  respect to the shares of
this Series, the Corporation shall give notice of redemption by publication in a
newspaper  of general  circulation  in the County of Los Angeles and The City of
New York,  such  publication  to be made once a week for two  successive  weeks,
commencing  not less than 30 nor more than 60 days  prior to the date  fixed for
redemption.  A similar  notice will be mailed by the  Corporation by first class
mail, postage pre-paid, to each record holder of the shares of this Series to be
redeemed,  not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to such redemption date,
to the  respective  addresses  of such  holders as the same shall  appear on the
stock  transfer  records of the  Corporation.  Each notice shall state:  (i) the
redemption date; (ii) the number of shares of this Series to be redeemed;  (iii)
the  redemption  price;  (iv) the place or places  where  certificates  for such
shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption  price;  and (v) that
dividends  on the  shares  to be  redeemed  will  cease  to  accumulate  on such
redemption  date. If fewer than all the shares of this Series held by any holder

                                       5

<PAGE>

are to be  redeemed,  the notice  mailed to such holder  shall also  specify the
number of shares of this Series to be redeemed from such holder.

                  (d) Maintenance of Debt Ratio. Without the affirmative vote or
the written  consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of this  Series,
the Corporation will not take any action that would result in a ratio of Debt to
Assets (the "Debt Ratio") in excess of 50%.

                   "DEBT"  means,   as  of  any  date  of   determination,   all
liabilities that should, in accordance with GAAP, be reflected as a liability on
the  consolidated   balance  sheet  of  the  Corporation  as  of  such  date  of
determination;  provided,  however,  that "Debt"  shall not include  liabilities
included in the consolidated balance sheet under the headings "accrued and other
liabilities"  or "minority  interest"  to the extent that the  inclusion of such
liabilities  under such  headings  is  consistent  with the  Corporation's  past
practice.

                   "ASSETS" means, as of any date of  determination,  all assets
that  should,  in  accordance  with  GAAP,  be  reflected  as an  asset  on  the
consolidated balance sheet of the Corporation as of such date of determination.

                  "GAAP" means generally  accepted  accounting  principles as in
effect in the United States of America from time to time, consistently applied.

                  (e) VOTING  RIGHTS.  The shares of this Series  shall not have
any voting powers either general or special,  except as required by law,  except
as set forth in Section (d) hereof and except that:

                  (1) (A) If the  Corporation  shall fail to pay full cumulative
dividends on the shares of this Series or any other of its preferred  shares for
six quarterly dividend payment periods,  whether or not consecutive (a "DIVIDEND
DEFAULT"),  the holders of all outstanding  preferred shares, voting as a single
class without  regard to series,  will be entitled to elect two Directors  until
full cumulative dividends for all past dividend payment periods on all preferred
shares have been paid or declared and funds therefor set apart for payment. Such
right to vote separately as a class to elect Directors  shall,  when vested,  be
subject,  always,  to the same provisions for the vesting of such right to elect
Directors separately as a class in the case of future Dividend Defaults.  At any
time when such  right to elect  Directors  separately  as a class  shall have so
vested,  the  Corporation  may,  and upon the written  request of the holders of
record  of not less  than 20% of the total  number  of  preferred  shares of the
Corporation then outstanding  shall,  call a special meeting of stockholders for
the election of Directors.  In the case of such a written request,  such special
meeting  shall be held within 90 days after the delivery of such request and, in
either case, at the place and upon the notice  provided by law and in the Bylaws
of the Corporation,  provided that the Corporation shall not be required to call
such a special meeting if such request is received less than 120 days before the
date  fixed  for  the  next  ensuing  Annual  Meeting  of  Shareholders  of  the
Corporation and the holders of all classes of outstanding  preferred  shares are
afforded the  opportunity  to elect such Directors (or fill any vacancy) at such
Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Directors elected as aforesaid shall serve until
the next  Annual  Meeting of  Shareholders  of the  Corporation  or until  their
respective  successors  shall be elected and qualified.  If, prior to the end of
the term of any Director  elected as aforesaid,  a vacancy in the office of such
Director shall occur during the  continuance of a Dividend  Default by reason of
death,  resignation,  or  disability,  such  vacancy  shall  be  filled  for the
unexpired  term by the  appointment  of a new Director for the unexpired term of
such former  Director,  such  appointment  to be made by the remaining  Director
elected as aforesaid.

                      (B) In addition to the right to elect  Directors set forth
in clause (A) above,  if, without the affirmative vote or the written consent of
the holders of a majority of the shares of this  Series,  on the last day of two
consecutive  fiscal quarters of the  Corporation,  the Debt Ratio exceeds 50% (a
"DEBT RATIO  DEFAULT"),  the holders of all  outstanding  shares of this Series,
voting as a single class, will be entitled to elect two Directors until the Debt
Ratio as of the last day of a fiscal  quarter of the  Corporation  is reduced to
50% or less. Such right to vote separately as a class to elect Directors  shall,
when vested, be subject,  always, to the same provisions for the vesting of such
right to elect Directors  separately as a class in the case of future Debt Ratio
Defaults.  At any time when such right to elect Directors  separately as a class
shall have so vested,  the Corporation  may, and upon the written request of the
holders  of record  of not less  than 20% of the total  number of shares of this

                                       6

<PAGE>

Series then  outstanding  shall,  call a special meeting of stockholders for the
election  of  Directors.  In the case of such a written  request,  such  special
meeting  shall be held within 90 days after the delivery of such request and, in
either case, at the place and upon the notice  provided by law and in the Bylaws
of the Corporation,  provided that the corporation shall not be required to call
such a special meeting if such request is received less than 120 days before the
date  fixed  for  the  next  ensuing  Annual  Meeting  of  Shareholders  of  the
Corporation  and  the  holders  of  shares  of  this  Series  are  afforded  the
opportunity to elect such Directors (or fill any vacancy) at such Annual Meeting
of  Shareholders.  Directors  elected as  aforesaid  shall  serve until the next
Annual Meeting of  Shareholders  of the  Corporation  or until their  respective
successors  shall be elected and qualified.  If, prior to the end of the term of
any  Director  elected as  aforesaid,  a vacancy in the office of such  Director
shall occur during the  continuance  of a Debt Ratio Default by reason of death,
resignation,  or disability, such vacancy shall be filled for the unexpired term
by the  appointment  of a new  Director  for the  unexpired  term of such former
Director,  such  appointment  to be made by the  remaining  Director  elected as
aforesaid.

                  (2) The affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least
662/3% of the outstanding  shares of this Series,  voting separately as a class,
will be required  for any  amendment  to the  Articles of  Incorporation  of the
Corporation  that  will  adversely  alter or  change  the  powers,  preferences,
privileges  or rights of the shares of this  Series,  except as set forth below.
The  affirmative  vote or  consent  of the  holders  of (i) at least  50% of the
outstanding  shares of this Series,  voting  separately as a class,  and (ii) at
least  662/3% of the  outstanding  shares of this Series and any other series of
preferred  shares  ranking on a parity with this Series as to dividends and upon
liquidation  (including,  without limitation,  the shares of Series A, Series B,
Series D,  Series E, Series F, Series G, Series H, Series I, Series J, Series K,
Series L, Series M and Series N Preferred  Stock and  Adjustable  Rate Preferred
Stock),  voting as a single class without regard to series,  will be required to
issue,  authorize  or increase the  authorized  amount of any class or series of
shares  ranking prior to this Series as to dividends or upon  liquidation  or to
issue or authorize any obligation or security  convertible  into or evidencing a
right to purchase any such security,  but the Articles of  Incorporation  may be
amended to  increase  the number of  authorized  preferred  shares  ranking on a
parity with or junior to this  Series or to create  another  class of  preferred
shares ranking on a parity with or junior to this Series without the vote of the
holders of outstanding shares of this Series.

                  (3)  The  affirmative  vote or  consent  of the  holders  of a
majority of the outstanding shares of this Series, voting separately as a class,
will be required for any amendment or repeal of the following  provisions of the
Bylaws of the  Corporation,  which  would be  adverse  to the  interests  of the
holders of shares of this Series, and for any other changes to the Bylaws of the
Corporation  that affect these  provisions in a manner which would be adverse to
the  interests  of the holders of shares of this Series:  Article IV,  Section 2
(relating  to the  Corporation's  permissible  Asset  Coverage),  Article  VIII,
Section 2(g) and (h) (relating to the Corporation's  investment policy) and each
of the defined terms used in any of the foregoing provisions.

                  (4)  Except to the  extent  required  pursuant  to clause  (3)
above,  nothing  herein  shall be taken to  require a class  vote or  consent in
connection  with the  authorization,  designation,  increase  or issuance of any
shares of any  class or series  (including  additional  preferred  shares of any
series) that rank junior to or on a parity with this Series as to dividends  and
liquidation  rights  or  in  connection  with  the  authorization,  designation,
increase  or  issuance  of  any  bonds,  mortgages,  debentures  or  other  debt
obligations of the Corporation.

                  (5) The right to elect  Directors  set forth in clause  (1)(B)
above is not  intended  to be the  exclusive  remedy of holders of the shares of
this Series in the event of a Debt Ratio Default.

                  (f) CONVERSION.  The shares of this Series are not convertible
into  shares  of  any  other  class  or  series  of  the  capital  stock  of the
Corporation.

1.   Diluted net income per common share is computed using the weighted  average
     common shares outstanding (adjusted for stock options).  Commencing January
     1,  2000,  the  7,000,000  Class  B  common  shares  outstanding  began  to
     participate in  distributions of our earnings.  Distributions  per share of
     Class B common stock are equal to 97% of the per share distribution paid to
     our  regular  common  shares.   As  a  result  of  this   participation  in
     distribution  of earnings,  for purposes of computing net income per common
     share,  we began to  include  6,790,000  (7,000,000  x 97%)  Class B common
     shares in the  weighted  average  common  equivalent  shares  for the three
     months ended March 31, 2000.  Weighted average diluted shares for the three
     months ended March 31, 1999 does not include any shares with respect to the
     Class  B  common   stock  as  these  shares  were  not   participating   in
     distributions of our earnings prior to January 1, 2000.

(1)  Such amounts are  anti-dilutive  and are not presented in our  consolidated
     financial statements.

     Diluted net income per common share is computed using the weighted  average
     common shares outstanding (adjusted for stock options).  Commencing January
     1,  2000,  the  7,000,000  Class  B  common  shares  outstanding  began  to
     participate in  distributions of our earnings.  Distributions  per share of
     Class B common stock are equal to 97% of the per share distribution paid to
     our  regular  common  shares.   As  a  result  of  this   participation  in
     distribution  of earnings,  for purposes of computing net income per common
     share,  we began to  include  6,790,000  (7,000,000  x 97%)  Class B common
     shares in the  weighted  average  common  equivalent  shares  for the three
     months ended March 31, 2000.  Weighted average diluted shares for the three
     months ended March 31, 1999 does not include any shares with respect to the
     Class  B  common   stock  as  these  shares  were  not   participating   in
     distributions of our earnings prior to January 1, 2000.
