Such factors are described in Item 1A, "Risk Factors" and include changes in general economic conditions and in the markets in which the Partnership operates and the impact of competition from new and existing storage and commercial facilities and other storage alternatives, which could impact rents and occupancy levels at the Partnership's facilities; the impact of the regulatory environment as well as national, state, and local laws and regulations, which could increase the Partnership's expense and reduce the Partnership's cash available for distribution; and economic uncertainty due to the impact of war or terrorism could adversely affect our business plan. We disclaim any obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements reflecting new estimates, events or circumstances after the date of this report. General - ------- Public Storage Properties V, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a publicly held limited partnership formed under the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act in May 1978. The Partnership raised $22,000,000 in gross proceeds by selling 44,000 units of limited partnership interests ("Units") in an interstate offering, which commenced in March 1979 and completed in October 1979. The Partnership was formed to engage in the business of developing and operating self-storage facilities offering storage space for personal and business use. The Partnership has reported annually to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on form 10-K which includes financial statements certified by independent public accountants. The Partnership has also reported quarterly to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-Q and includes unaudited financial statements with such filings. The Partnership expects to continue such reporting. On an annual basis, the Partnership mails the audited financial statements and related footnotes, to all limited partners. The public may read and copy any materials this Partnership files with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-732-0330. The partnership does not maintain a website. However, the SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC at http://www.sec.gov. In 1995, there were a series of mergers among Public Storage Management, Inc. (which was the Partnership's self-storage facilities operator), Public Storage, Inc. (which was one of the Partnership's general partners) and their affiliates (collectively, "PSMI"), culminating in the November 16, 1995 merger (the "PSMI Merger") of PSMI into Storage Equities, Inc., a real estate investment trust ("REIT") organized as a California corporation. In the PSMI Merger, Storage Equities, Inc. was renamed Public Storage, Inc. ("PSI") and PSI acquired substantially all of PSMI's United States real estate operations and became a co-general partner of the Partnership and the operator of the Partnership's self-storage facilities. The Partnership's general partners are PSI and B. Wayne Hughes ("Hughes") (collectively referred to as the "General Partners"). Hughes has been a general partner of the Partnership since its inception. Hughes is chairman of the board of PSI, was chief executive officer of PSI through November 7, 2002, and Hughes and members of his family (the "Hughes Family") are the major shareholders of PSI. The Partnership is managed and its investment decisions are made by Hughes and the executive officers and directors of PSI. The limited partners of the Partnership have no right to participate in the operation or conduct of its business and affairs. 2 The Partnership's objectives are to (i) maximize the potential for appreciation in value of the Partnership's properties and (ii) generate sufficient cash flow from operations to pay all expenses, including the payment of interest to Noteholders. All of the properties were financed in 1989. The term of the Partnership is until all properties have been sold and in any event, not later than December 31, 2038. Investment Objectives and Policies - ---------------------------------- The Partnership's objectives are to (i) preserve and protect invested capital, (ii) maximize the potential for appreciation in value of its investments, (iii) provide Federal income tax deductions so that during the early years of property operations a portion of cash distributions may be treated as a return of capital for tax purposes, and therefore, may not represent taxable income to the limited partners, and (iv) provide for cash distributions from operations. Following are the Partnership's investment practices and policies. The Partnership does not anticipate making any additional investments other than maintenance capital expenditures and does not anticipate liquidating the investments it now holds. While a vote of the limited partners is generally required to change the Partnership's investment policies, the General Partners hold a majority of the limited partnership units, and as a result, the General Partners could change these policies through their vote. o Our investments consist of (i) 14 self-storage facilities, (ii) a parcel of vacant land, (iii) 533,334 shares of Public Storage, Inc. common stock and (iv) 17,331 shares of Public Storage, Inc. Series A, Equity Stock. All of these investments are in real estate or real estate entities holding real estate located in the United States. See "Self-storage Facilities" and Item 2 "Properties" for further information. These investments were acquired both for income and capital gains. o There is no limitation on the amount or percentage of assets, which can be invested in any specific person. The Partnership does not anticipate issuing senior securities, making loans to other persons, investing in the securities of other issuers for the purpose of exercising control, underwriting the securities of other issuers, engaging in the purchase and sale of investments, offering securities in exchange for property, or repurchasing or otherwise reacquiring its outstanding securities. The partnership may consider borrowing money with the intent of using the proceeds to distribute to partners. Self-storage Facilities - ----------------------- Self-storage facilities are designed to offer accessible storage space for personal and business use at a relatively low cost. A user rents a fully enclosed space which is for the user's exclusive use and to which only the user has access on an unrestricted basis during business hours. On-site operation is the responsibility of property managers who are supervised by district managers. Some self-storage facilities also include rentable uncovered parking areas for vehicle storage. Leases for self-storage space may be on a long-term or short-term basis, although typically spaces are rented on a month-to-month basis. Rental rates vary according to the location of the property and the size of the storage space. Users of space in self-storage facilities include both individuals and large and small businesses. Individuals usually employ this space for storage of, among other things, furniture, household appliances, personal belongings, motor vehicles, boats, campers, motorcycles and other household goods. Businesses normally employ this space for storage of excess inventory, business records, seasonal goods, equipment and fixtures. Self-storage facilities in which the Partnership has invested generally consist of three to seven buildings containing an aggregate of between 350 to 750 storage spaces, most of which have between 25 and 400 square feet and an interior height of approximately 8 to 12 feet. The Partnership experiences minor seasonal fluctuations in the occupancy levels of self-storage facilities with occupancies higher in the summer months than in the winter months. The Partnership believes that these fluctuations result in part from increased moving activity during the summer. 3 The Partnership's self-storage facilities are geographically diversified and are generally located in heavily populated areas and close to concentrations of apartment complexes, single family residences and commercial developments. However, there may be circumstances in which it may be appropriate to own a property in a less populated area, for example, in an area that is highly visible from a major thoroughfare and close to, although not in, a heavily populated area. Moreover, in certain population centers, land costs and zoning restrictions may create a demand for space in nearby less populated areas. As with most other types of real estate, the conversion of self-storage facilities to alternative uses in connection with a sale or otherwise would generally require substantial capital expenditures. However, the Partnership does not intend to convert its self-storage facilities to other uses. Commercial Property - ------------------- The Partnership owns one commercial property, a business park located in San Francisco, California, on the same parcel of land as the Partnership's self-storage facility. The commercial property represents less than 4% of the Partnership's revenues and less than 1% of the Partnership's assets based on original cost. Operating Strategies - -------------------- The Partnership's self-storage facilities are operated by PSI under the "Public Storage" name, which the Partnership believes is the most recognized name in the self-storage industry. The major elements of the Partnership's operating strategies are as follows: o Capitalize on "Public Storage's" name recognition. PSI, together with its predecessor, has more than 20 years of operating experience in the self-storage business. PSI has informed the Partnership that it is the largest self-storage facility operator in the United States in terms of both number of facilities and rentable space operated. PSI believes that its marketing and advertising programs improve its competitive position in the market. PSI's in-house Yellow Pages staff designs and places advertisements in approximately 700 directories. Customers calling either PSI's toll-free telephone referral system, (800) 44-STORE, or a self-storage facility are directed to PSI's reservation system where a trained representative discusses with the customer space requirements, price and location preferences and also informs the customer of other products and services provided by PSI. The telephone reservation system supports rental activity at all of the Partnership's properties. o Maintain high occupancy levels and increase annual realized rents. Subject to market conditions, the Partnership generally seeks to achieve average occupancy levels in excess of 90% and to eliminate promotions prior to increasing rental rates. Average occupancy for the Partnership's self-storage facilities was 90% and 88% in 2003 and 2002, respectively. Annual realized rents per occupied square foot decreased from $12.85 in 2002 to $12.32 in 2003. o Systems and controls. PSI has an organizational structure and a property operation system, "CHAMP" (Computerized Help and Management Program), which links its corporate office with each self-storage facility. This enables PSI to obtain daily information from each facility and to achieve efficiencies in operations and maintain control over its space inventory, rental rates, promotional discounts and delinquencies. Expense management is achieved through centralized payroll and accounts payable systems and a comprehensive property tax appeals department, and PSI has an extensive internal audit program designed to ensure proper handling of cash collections. o Professional property operation. There are approximately 4,500 persons who render services for the Public Storage system, primarily personnel engaged in property operations, substantially all of whom are employed by a clearing company that provides certain administrative and cost-sharing services to PSI and others owners of properties operated by PSI. Property Operator - ----------------- The Partnership's self-storage facilities are managed by PSI (as successor to PSMI) pursuant to a Management Agreement. The Partnership's commercial property is managed by PS Business Parks, L.P. ("PSBP"), pursuant to a Management Agreement. PSBP is an operating partnership formed to own and operate business parks in which PSI has a significant economic interest. The general partner of PSBP is PS Business Parks, Inc., a REIT traded on the American Stock Exchange. 4 Under the supervision of the Partnership, PSI and PSBP coordinate the operation of the facilities, establish rental policies and rates, direct marketing activity and direct the purchase of equipment and supplies, maintenance activity and the selection and engagement of all vendors, supplies and independent contractors. PSI and PSBP engage, at the expense of the Partnership, employees for the operation of the Partnership's facilities, including property managers, assistant managers, relief managers, and billing and maintenance personnel. Some or all of these employees may be employed on a part-time basis and may also be employed by other persons, partnerships, real estate investment trusts or other entities owning facilities operated by PSI and PSBP. In the purchasing of services such as advertising (including broadcast media advertising) and insurance, PSI and PSBP attempt, to achieve economies by combining the resources of the various facilities that it operates. Facilities operated by PSI have historically carried comprehensive insurance, including fire, earthquake, liability and extended coverage. PSI and PSBP have developed systems for managing space inventories, accounting and handling delinquent accounts, including a computerized network linking PSI operated facilities. Each project manager is furnished with detailed operating procedures and typically receives facilities management training from PSI. Form letters covering a variety of circumstances are also supplied to the project managers. A record of actions taken by the project managers when delinquencies occur is maintained. The Partnership's facilities are typically advertised via signage, yellow pages, flyers and broadcast media advertising (television and radio) in geographic areas in which many of the Partnership's facilities are located. Broadcast media and other advertising costs are charged to the Partnership's facilities located in geographic areas affected by the advertising. From time to time, PSI and PSBP adopt promotional programs, such as temporary rent reductions, in selected areas or for individual facilities. For as long as the Management Agreement between the Partnership and PSI is in effect, PSI has granted the Partnership a non-exclusive license to use two PSI service marks and related designs including the "Public Storage" name in conjunction with rental and operation of facilities managed pursuant to the Management Agreement. Upon termination of the Management Agreement, the Partnership would no longer have the right to use the service marks and related designs. The General Partners believe that the loss of the right to use the service marks and related designs could have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's business. The Management Agreement between the Partnership and PSI provides that the Management Agreement may be terminated without cause upon 60 days written notice by the Partnership or six months notice by PSI. The Management Agreement between the Partnership and PSBP provides that the Management Agreement may be terminated (i) without cause upon 60 days written notice by the Partnership and upon seven years notice by PSBP and (ii) at any time by either party for cause. Competition - ----------- Most of the Partnership's properties are self-storage facilities, which generated 96% of the Partnership's rental income during 2003. Local market conditions play a significant role in how competition will affect the Partnership's operations. Competition from other self-storage and other storage alternatives in the market areas in which the Partnership operates is significant and has affected the occupancy levels, rental rates and operating expenses of certain of the Partnership's facilities. Any increase in availability of funds for investment in real estate may accelerate competition. Further development of self-storage facilities may intensify competition among operators of self-storage facilities in the market areas in which the Partnership operates. In addition to competition from self-storage facilities operated by PSI, there are three other national firms and numerous regional and local operators. The Partnership believes that the significant operating and financial experience of PSI and the "Public Storage" name recognition should enable the Partnership to continue to compete effectively with other entities. Other Business Activities - ------------------------- A corporation that reinsures policies against losses to goods stored by tenants in PSI's storage facilities was purchased by PSI from Mr. Hughes and members of his family (the "Hughes Family") on December 31, 2001. We believe that the availability of insurance reduces our potential liability to tenants for losses to their goods from theft or destruction. This corporation receives the premiums and bears the risks associated with the re-insurance. 5 A subsidiary of PSI sells locks and boxes and rents trucks to the general public and tenants to be used in securing their spaces and moving their goods. We believe that the availability of locks and boxes for sale and the rental of trucks promote the rental of self-storage spaces. Federal Income Tax - ------------------ Public Storage Properties V, Ltd. is treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes with the taxable income of the entity allocated to each partner in accordance with the partnership agreement. Employees - --------- There are 19 persons who render services on behalf of the Partnership. These persons include property managers, assistant managers, relief managers, district managers, and administrative personnel. Some employees may be employed on a part-time basis and may be employed by other persons, partnerships, REITs or other entities owning facilities operated by PSI. ITEM 1A. Risk Factors In addition to the other information in our Form 10-K, you should consider the following factors in evaluating the Partnership: THE GENERAL PARTNERS HAVE A SIGNIFICANT DEGREE OF CONTROL OVER THE PARTNERSHIP. Public Storage is general partner and owns approximately 33.5% of our outstanding limited partnership units. In addition, B. Wayne Hughes, General Partner of the Partnership, and Chairman of PSI and members of his family own 28.2% of the Limited Partnership units. As a result, the General Partners have a significant degree of control over matters submitted to a vote of our unitholders, including amending our organizational documents, dissolving the Partnership and other such transactions. SINCE OUR BUSINESS CONSISTS PRIMARILY OF ACQUIRING AND OPERATING REAL ESTATE, WE ARE SUBJECT TO REAL ESTATE OPERATING RISKS. The value of our investments may be reduced by general risks of real estate ownership. Since we derive substantially all of our income from real estate operations, we are subject to the general risks of owning real estate-related assets, including: o lack of demand for rental spaces or units in a locale; o changes in general economic or local conditions; o changes in supply of or demand for similar or competing facilities in an area; o potential terrorists attacks; o the impact of environmental protection laws; o changes in interest rates and availability of permanent mortgage funds which may render the sale or financing of a property difficult or unattractive; and o changes in tax, real estate and zoning laws. 6 THERE IS SIGNIFICANT COMPETITION AMONG SELF-STORAGE FACILITIES AND FROM OTHER STORAGE ALTERNATIVES. With the exception of the commercial property and the parcel of land, all of our real estate properties are self-storage facilities, which generated 96% of our rental revenues during 2003. Local market conditions will play a significant part in how competition will affect us. Competition in the market areas in which many of our properties are located from other self-storage facilities and other storage alternatives is significant and has affected the occupancy levels, rental rates and operating expenses of some of our properties. Any increase in availability of funds for investment in real estate may accelerate competition. Further development of self-storage facilities may intensify competition among operators of self-storage facilities in the market areas in which we operate. WE MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS AND LIABILITIES. As an owner of real properties, under various federal, state and local environmental laws, we are required to clean up spills or other releases of hazardous or toxic substances on or from our properties. Certain environmental laws impose liability whether or not the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of the hazardous or toxic substances. In some cases, liability may not be limited to the value of the property. The presence of these substances, or the failure to properly remediate any resulting contamination, also may adversely affect the owner's or operator's ability to sell, lease or operate its property or to borrow using its property as collateral. We have conducted preliminary environmental assessments on the properties in which the Partnership has an interest to evaluate the environmental condition of, and potential environmental liabilities associated with, our properties. These assessments generally consist of an investigation of environmental conditions at the property (not including soil or groundwater sampling or analysis), as well as a review of available information regarding the site and publicly available data regarding conditions at other sites in the vicinity. In connection with these property assessments, we have become aware that prior operations or activities at some facilities or from nearby locations have or may have resulted in contamination to the soil or groundwater at these facilities. In this regard, some of our facilities are or may be the subject of federal or state environment investigations or remedial actions. Although we cannot provide any assurance based on the environmental assessments, we believe that we have funds available to cover any liability from environmental contamination or potential contamination and we are not aware of any environmental contamination of our facilities material to our overall business, financial condition or results of operation. There has been an increasing number of claims and litigation against owners and managers of rental properties relating to moisture infiltration, which can result in mold or other property damage. When we receive a complaint concerning moisture infiltration, condensation or mold problems and/or become aware that an air quality concern exists, we implement corrective measures in accordance with guidelines and protocols we have developed with the assistance of outside experts. We seek to work proactively with our tenants to resolve moisture infiltration and mold-related issues, subject to our contractual limitations on liability for such claims. However, we can provide no assurance that material legal claims relating to moisture infiltration and the presence of, or exposure to, mold will not arise in the future. PROPERTY TAXES CAN INCREASE AND CAUSE A DECLINE IN YIELDS ON INVESTMENTS. Each of our properties is subject to real property taxes. These real property taxes may increase in the future as property tax rates change and as our properties are assessed or reassessed by tax authorities. Such increases could adversely impact the Partnership's profitability. WE MUST COMPLY WITH THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT AND FIRE AND SAFETY REGULATIONS, WHICH CAN REQUIRE SIGNIFICANT EXPENDITURES. All our properties must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and with related regulations (the "ADA"). The ADA has separate compliance requirements for "public accommodations" and "commercial facilities," but generally requires that buildings be made accessible to persons with disabilities. Various state laws impose similar requirements. A failure to comply with the ADA or similar state laws could result in government imposed fines on us and the award of damages to individuals affected by the failure. In addition, we must operate our properties in compliance with numerous local fire and safety regulations, building codes, and other land use regulations. Compliance with these requirements can require us to spend substantial amounts of money, which would reduce cash otherwise available for distribution to Partners. Failure to comply with these requirements could also affect the marketability of our real estate facilities. TERRORIST ATTACKS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF WIDER ARMED CONFLICT MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATING RESULTS AND COULD DECREASE THE VALUE OF OUR ASSETS. Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war, such as those that took place on September 11, 2001, could have a material adverse impact on our business and operating results. There can be no assurance that there will not be further terrorist attacks against the United States or its businesses or interests. Attacks or armed conflicts that directly impact one or more of our properties could significantly affect our ability to operate those properties and thereby impair our operating results. 7 Further, we may not have insurance coverage for losses caused by a terrorist attack. Such insurance may not be available, or if it is available and we decide to obtain such terrorist coverage, the cost for the insurance may be significant in relationship to the risk overall. In addition, the adverse effects that such violent acts and threats of future attacks could have on the U.S. economy could similarly have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Finally, further terrorist acts could cause the United States to enter into a wider armed conflict, which could further impact our business and operating results. DEVELOPMENTS IN CALIFORNIA MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATING RESULTS AND COULD DECREASE THE VALUE OF OUR ASSETS. Approximately 70% of the Partnership's properties are located in California. California is facing serious budgetary problems. Action that may be taken in response to these problems, such as an increase in property taxes on commercial properties, could adversely impact our business and results of operations. In addition, the Partnership could be adversely impacted by the recently enacted legislation mandating, beginning in 2006, medical insurance for employees of California businesses and members of their families. OUR OWNERSHIP INTEREST IN STOR-RE MAY LOSE VALUE OR BECOME A LIABILITY. The Partnership has a 1.4% ownership interest in STOR-Re Mutual Insurance Corporation ("STOR-Re"), which was formed in 1994 as an association captive insurance company, and is controlled by PSI. STOR-Re provides limited property and liability insurance coverage to the Partnership, PSI, and affiliates of PSI. Liabilities for losses and loss adjustment expenses include an amount determined from loss reports and individual cases and an amount, based on recommendations from an outside actuary using a frequency and severity method, for losses incurred but not reported. Determining the liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expense is based upon estimates and while we believe that the amount is adequate, the ultimate loss may be in excess of or less than the amounts provided, which may result in a reduction in the value of the Partnership's investment or could result in future payments to STOR-Re if its reserves were determined to be inadequate. Financial data with respect to STOR-Re is included in Note 5 to the Partnership's December 31, 2003 financial statements. 8 ITEM 2. Properties The following table sets forth information as of December 31, 2003 about properties owned by the Partnership:

The weighted average occupancy for the self-storage facilities was 90% and 88% during 2002 and 2003, respectively. 9 In August 1992, the buildings at a self-storage facility located in Miami, Florida were completely destroyed by Hurricane Andrew. The Partnership received insurance proceeds totaling $2,881,000, which included an amount for the replacement cost of the destroyed buildings as well as for business interruption. In 1993, the General Partners decided that it would be more beneficial to the Partnership, given the condition of the market area of the self-storage, to cease operations at this location and therefore, decided not to reconstruct the buildings. Accordingly, in 1993 the Partnership reduced real estate facilities by the net book value of the destroyed buildings, resulting in a gain of $1,369,000. In June 1996, the Partnership sold approximately 61% of the Miami, Florida land for a net price of $376,000 ($400,000 less $24,000 of selling cost), resulting in a $13,000 gain on the sale. The remaining is listed for sale. As of December 31, 2003, the properties were not encumbered. See Note 7 to the Financial Statements included in Item 15(a). Other than the Partnership's listing to sell the vacant land in Miami, Florida as described above, the Partnership does not have any agreements to buy or sell any real estate nor does it expect to further develop any of its facilities except for capital improvements. ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings Serrao v. Public Storage, Inc. (filed April 2003) (Superior Court - Orange --------------------------------------------------------------------------- County) - ------- The plaintiff in this case filed a suit against Public Storage on behalf of a putative class of renters who rented self-storage units from Public Storage. Plaintiff alleges that Public Storage misrepresented the size of its storage units, has brought claims under California statutory and common law relating to consumer protection, fraud, unfair competition, and negligent misrepresentation, and is seeking monetary damages, restitution, and declaratory and injunctive relief. The claim in this case is substantially similar to those in Henriquez v. Public Storage, Inc., which was disclosed in prior reports. In January 2003, the plaintiff caused the Henriquez action to be dismissed. Based upon the uncertainty inherent in any putative class action, Public Storage cannot presently determine the potential damages, if any, or the ultimate outcome of this litigation. On November 3, 2003, the court granted Public Storage motion to strike the plaintiff's nationwide class allegations and to limit any putative class to California residents only. Public Storage is vigorously contesting the claims upon which this lawsuit is based including class certification efforts. Salaam, et al v. Public Storage, Inc. (filed February 2000) (Superior Court --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - Los Angeles County) - --------------------- The plaintiffs in this case are suing Public Storage on behalf of a putative class of California resident property managers who claim that they were not compensated for all the hours they worked. The named plaintiffs have indicated that their claims total less than $20,000 in aggregate. On December 1, 2003, the California Court of Appeals affirmed the Supreme Court's 2002 denial of plaintiff's motion for class certification. The maximum potential liability cannot be estimated, but can only be increased if claims are permitted to be brought on behalf of others under the California Unfair Business Practices Act. The affirmation of denial of class certification does not address the claim under the California Unfair Business Practices Act. Public Storage is continuing to vigorously contest the claims in this case and intends to resist any expansion beyond the named plaintiffs, including by opposing claims on behalf of others under the California Unfair Business Practices Act. Public Storage cannot presently determine the potential damages, if any, or the ultimate outcome of this litigation. Other Items ----------- Public Storage and the Partnership are a party to various claims, complaints, and other legal actions that have arisen in the normal course of business from time to time, that are not described above. We believe that it is unlikely that the outcome of these other pending legal proceedings including employment and tenant claims, in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect upon the operations or financial position of the Partnership. 10 ITEM 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of 2003. PART II ITEM 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities The Partnership has no common stock. The Units are not listed on any national securities exchange or quoted on the NASDAQ System and there is no established public trading market for the Units. Secondary sales activity for the Units has been limited and sporadic. The General Partners monitor transfers of the Units (a) because the admission of the transferee as a substitute limited partner requires the consent of the General Partners under the Partnership's Amended and Restated Certificate and Agreement of Limited Partnership, (b) in order to ensure compliance with safe harbor provisions to avoid treatment as a "publicly traded partnership" for tax purposes, and (c) because the General Partners (and their affiliates) have purchased Units. However, the General Partners do not have information regarding the prices at which all secondary sale transactions in the Units have been effectuated. Various organizations offer to purchase and sell limited partnership interests (including securities of the type such as the Units) in secondary sales transactions. Various publications such as The Stanger Report summarize and report information (on a monthly, bimonthly or less frequent basis) regarding secondary sales transactions in limited partnership interests (including the Units), including the prices at which such secondary sales transactions are effectuated. Exclusive of the General Partners' interest in the Partnership, as of December 31, 2003, there were approximately 1,079 recorded Unitholders. Distributions to the general and limited partners of all cash available for distribution (as defined) are made quarterly. Cash available for distribution is generally funds from operations of the Partnership, without deduction for depreciation, but after deducting funds to pay or establish reserves for all other expenses (other than incentive distributions to the general partner) and capital improvements, plus net proceeds from any sale or financing of the Partnership's properties. Reference is made to Item 6 and 7 hereof for information on the amount of such distributions. 11 ITEM 6. Selected Financial Data

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Partnership's 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 Partnership to be materially different from those expressed or implied in the forward looking statements. Such factors are described in Item 1A, "Risk Factors" and include changes in general economic conditions and in the markets in which the Partnership operates and the impact of competition from new and existing storage and commercial facilities and other storage alternatives, which could impact rents and occupancy levels at the Partnership's facilities; the impact of the regulatory environment as well as national, state, and local laws and regulations, which could increase the Partnership's expense and reduce the Partnership's cash available for distribution; and economic uncertainty due to the impact of war or terrorism could adversely affect our business plan. We disclaim any obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements reflecting new estimates, events or circumstances after the date of this report. 12 Critical Accounting Policies - ---------------------------- IMPAIRMENT OF REAL ESTATE Substantially all of our assets consist of real estate. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate our real estate for impairment. The evaluation of real estate for impairment requires determining whether indicators of impairment exist, which is a subjective process. When any indicators of impairment are found, the evaluation then entails projections of future operating cash flows, which also involves significant judgment. We identified no such impairments at December 31, 2003. However, future events, or facts and circumstances that currently exist that we have not yet identified, could cause us to conclude in the future that our real estate is impaired. Any resulting impairment loss could have a material, adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS Substantially all of our assets consist of depreciable, long-lived assets. We record depreciation expense with respect to these assets based upon their estimated useful lives. Any change in the estimated useful lives of those assets, caused by functional or economic obsolescence or other factors, could have a material, adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations. ACCRUALS FOR CONTINGENCIES We are exposed to business and legal liability risks with respect to events that have occurred, but in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, we have not accrued for such potential liabilities because the loss is either not probable or not estimable or because we are not aware of the event. Future events and the result of pending litigation could result in such potential losses becoming probable and estimable, which could have a material, adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Some of these potential losses, which we are aware of, are described in Notes 5 and 9 to the Partnership's financial statements. ACCRUALS FOR OPERATING EXPENSES We accrue for property tax expense and other operating expenses based upon estimates and historical trends and current and anticipated local and state government rules and regulations. If these estimates and assumptions are incorrect, our expenses could be misstated. Results of Operations - --------------------- YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002: The Partnership's net income was $6,084,000 in 2003 compared to $6,166,000 in 2002, representing a decrease of $82,000. During 2003, property net operating income (rental income less cost of operations, management fees paid to affiliates and depreciation expense) was $5,125,000 in 2003 compared to $5,185,000 in 2002, representing a decrease of $60,000 or 1%. This decrease is attributable to an increase in cost of operations and depreciation expense at the Partnership's self-storage facilities and the San Francisco business park facility, partially offset by an increase in rental income. Rental income was $8,857,000 in 2003 compared to $8,697,000 in 2002, representing an increase of $160,000 or 2%. The increase is attributable to a increase in average occupancy at the Partnership's self-storage facilities. The weighted average occupancy level of the self-storage facilities was 90% in 2003 compared to 88% in 2002. The annual realized rent per occupied square foot for the self-storage facilities was $12.32 in 2003 compared to $12.85 in 2002. Dividend income from marketable securities of affiliate remained stable at $1,002,000 for 2003 and 2002. Cost of operations (including management fees paid to affiliates) increased $211,000 or 8% to $2,792,000 in 2003 from $2,581,000 in 2002. This increase is primarily attributable to increases in payroll, property taxes, advertising and property insurance expenses. 13 Interest expense was $4,000 in 2002 none for 2003. The loan was paid in full during the first quarter of 2002. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001: The Partnership's net income was $6,166,000 in 2002 compared to $5,831,000 in 2001, representing an increase of $335,000. The increase is primarily attributable to the significant reduction in interest expense related to the note payable which was paid off in the first quarter of 2002. During 2002, property net operating income (rental income less cost of operations, management fees paid to affiliates and depreciation expense) was $5,185,000 in 2002 compared to $5,309,000 in 2001, representing a decrease of $124,000 or 2%. This decrease is attributable to a decrease in rental income at the Partnership's self-storage facilities and the San Francisco business park facility. Rental income was $8,697,000 in 2002 compared to $8,823,000 in 2001, representing a decrease of $126,000 or 1%. The decrease is attributable to a decrease in average occupancy at the Partnership's self-storage facilities. The weighted average occupancy level for the self-storage facilities was 88% in 2002 compared to 92% in 2001. The annual realized rent per occupied square foot for the self-storage facilities was $12.85 in 2002 compared to $12.48 in 2001. Dividend income from marketable securities of affiliate increased $58,000 in 2002 compared to 2001. This increase is due to increased dividends on the marketable securities of affiliate on shares owned in 2002 compared to 2001. Cost of operations (including management fees paid to affiliates) increased $45,000 or 2% to $2,581,000 in 2002 from $2,536,000 in 2001. This increase is attributable to increases in payroll expenses. Interest expense was $4,000 and $381,000 in 2002 and 2001, respectively, representing a decrease of $377,000 or 99%. The decrease results from a lower average outstanding loan balance in 2002 compared to 2001. The loan was paid in full during the first quarter of 2002. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- Cash flows from operating activities ($7,116,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003) have been sufficient to meet all current obligations of the Partnership. During 2004, the Partnership anticipates approximately $350,000 of capital improvements compared to $314,000 in 2003 and $364,000 in 2002. Such enhancements will include new signs, exterior color schemes, and improvements to the rental offices. At December 31, 2003, the Partnership held 533,334 shares of common stock and 17,331 shares of Equity Stock, Series A (marketable securities) with a fair value totaling $23,660,000 (cost of $8,181,000 at December 31, 2003) in Public Storage, Inc. The Partnership recognized $1,002,000 in dividend income during 2003 and 2002. On April 1, 1999, the partnership borrowed $17,000,000 from a commercial bank. The proceeds of the loan were used to repay the Partnership's mortgage debt. The loan was unsecured and bore interest at the London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") plus 0.60% to 1.20% depending on the Partnership's interest coverage ratio. The loan required monthly payments of interest and was to mature in April 2003. However, during the first quarter of 2002, the Partnership repaid the loan in full without penalty. The Partnership may borrow in the future with the intent of using the proceeds to finance distributions to the limited and general partners. In June 1996, the Partnership sold approximately 61% of the Miami, Florida land for a net price of $376,000 ($400,000 less $24,000 of selling costs), resulting in a $13,000 gain on the sale. The remaining land is listed for sale. The Partnership does not intend on selling or acquiring any properties, except for intended sale of the parcel of land in Miami, Florida. 14 DISTRIBUTIONS Distributions to the limited and general partners for the years 1978-1991 aggregated $54,915,000 including $24,356,000 distributed to the partners in 1989 in connection with a financing of the properties. Quarterly distributions were discontinued in 1991. The Partnership resumed with quarterly distributions beginning in the second quarter of 2002. During 2002, we paid distributions to the limited and general partners totaling $3,300,000 ($75.00 per unit) and $1,144,000, respectively. In 2003, we paid distributions to the limited and general partners totaling $5,104,000 ($116 per unit) and $1,770,000, respectively. Future distribution rates may be adjusted to levels which are supported by operating cash flow after capital improvements and other obligations. ITEM 7A.

Financial Statements and Supplementary Data ------------------------------------------- The Partnership's financial statements are included elsewhere herein.

Controls and Procedures ----------------------- Public Storage, Inc. maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports the Partnership files and submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in accordance with SEC guidelines and that such information is communicated to the Partnership's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of "disclosure controls and procedures" in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. At the end of the period covered by this report, Public Storage, Inc. carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Partnership's management, including Public Storage, Inc.'s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures were effective. During the fourth quarter of 2003, there were no significant changes in the Partnership's internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting. 15 PART III ITEM 10.

Those articles provide, in substance, that the limited partners shall have the right, by majority vote, to remove a general partner and that a general partner may designate a successor with the consent of the other general partner and a majority of the limited partners. ITEM 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions ---------------------------------------------- The Partnership Agreement provides that the General Partners will be entitled to cash incentive distributions in an amount equal to (i) 8% of distributions of cash flow from operations until the distributions to all partners from all sources equal their capital contributions; thereafter, 25% of distributions of cash flow from operations, and (ii) 25% of distributions from net proceeds from sale and financing of the Partnership's properties remaining after distribution to all partners of any portion thereof required to cause distributions to partners from all sources to equal their capital contributions. The partners received distributions equal to their capital contributions in 1987. Mr. Hughes has assigned his ownership and distribution rights in the Partnership to BWH Marina Corporation II ("BWH Marinas"). In addition to their distribution rights with respect to their general partner's interests, PSI and BWH Marinas own 14,609 and 4,852 Units, respectively. During 2003, PSI and BWH Marinas received $1,416,000 and $354,000 in distributions related to their general partner ownership interests. The Partnership has a Management Agreement with PSI pursuant to which the Partnership pays PSI a fee of 6% of the gross revenues of the self-storage facilities operated for the Partnership. For as long as the Management Agreement is in effect, PSI has granted the Partnership a non-exclusive license to use two PSI service marks and related designs, including the "Public Storage" name, in conjunction with rental and operation of facilities managed pursuant to the Management Agreement. Upon termination of the Management Agreement, the Partnership would no longer have the right to use the service marks and related designs. The General Partners believe that the loss of the right to use the service marks and related designs could have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's business. The Management Agreement with PSI provides that the Management Agreement may be terminated without cause upon 60 days written notice by the Partnership or 6 months notice by PSI. During 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership paid fees of $513,000, $494,000 and $509,000, respectively, to PSI pursuant to the Management Agreement. In January 1997, PSBP became the operator of the Partnership's commercial property pursuant to the Management Agreement. PSBP is an operating partnership formed to own and operate business parks in which PSI has a significant economic interest. The general partner of PSBP is PS Business Parks, Inc., an AMEX listed real estate investment trust. The Partnership's commercial property is managed by PS Business Parks, LP ("PSBP") pursuant to a Management Agreement which provides for the payment of a fee by the Partnership of 5% of the gross revenues of the commercial property operated for the Partnership. During 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership paid $18,000, $20,000 and $16,000, respectively, to PSBP pursuant to the Management Agreement. In addition, the Partnership combines its insurance purchasing power with PSI through a captive insurance company controlled by PSI, STOR-Re Mutual Insurance Corporation ("STOR-Re"). STOR-Re provides limited property and liability insurance to the Partnership at commercially competitive rates. The Partnership and PSI also utilize unaffiliated insurance carriers to provide property and liability insurance in excess of STOR-Re's limitations. ITEM 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services -------------------------------------- Fees billed to the Partnership by Ernst & Young LLP for 2002 and 2003 as are follows: Audit Fees: Audit fees billed (or expected to be billed) to the Partnership by Ernst & Young LLP for the audit of the Partnership's annual financial statements and reviews of the quarterly financial statements included in the Partnership's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q totaled $8,000 for 2002 and $9,000 in 2003. Tax Fees: Tax fees billed (or expected to be billed) to the Partnership by Ernst & Young LLP for tax services (primarily federal and state income tax preparation) totaled $8,000 in 2002 and $7,000 in 2003. Audit Related Fees and Other Fees: During 2002 and 2003 Ernst & Young LLP did not bill the Partnership for audit related services or any other services, except audit services and tax services denoted above. The Audit Committee of PSI pre-approves all services performed by Ernst & Young LLP, including those listed above. At this time, the Audit Committee has not delegated pre-approval authority to any member or members of the Audit Committee. 19 PART IV ITEM 15.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Public Storage Properties V, Ltd. at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

See accompanying notes. F-5 PUBLIC STORAGE PROPERTIES V, LTD. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 1. Description of Partnership Public Storage Properties V, Ltd. (the "Partnership") was formed with the proceeds of a public offering. The general partners in the Partnership are Public Storage, Inc. ("PSI") and B. Wayne Hughes ("Hughes"). The Partnership owns fourteen operating facilities located in three states and a parcel of land in Florida. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Partnership Matters Real Estate Facilities: ----------------------- Cost of land includes appraisal fees and legal fees related to acquisition and closing costs. Buildings and equipment reflect costs incurred through December 31, 2003 and 2002 to develop self-storage facilities and to a lesser extent, a business park property. The self-storage facilities provide self-service storage spaces for lease, usually on a month-to-month basis, to the general public. The buildings and equipment are generally depreciated on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 25 and 5 years, respectively. In August 1992, the building at a self-storage facility located in Miami, Florida was completely destroyed by Hurricane Andrew. In 1993, the General Partners decided that it would be more beneficial to the Partnership, given the condition of the market area of the self-storage facility, to cease operations at this location and therefore, decided not to reconstruct the buildings. In June 1996, the Partnership sold approximately 61% of the Miami, Florida land. The remaining land is listed for sale. Revenue and Expense Recognition: -------------------------------- Rental income, which is generally earned pursuant to month-to-month leases for storage space, is recognized as earned. Promotional discounts are recognized as a reduction to rental income over the promotional period, which is generally during the first month of occupancy. Late charges and administrative fees are recognized as rental income when collected. Interest income is recognized as earned. We accrue for property tax expenses based upon estimates and historical trends. If these estimates are incorrect, the timing of expense recognition could be affected. Cost of operations, general and administrative expense, interest expense, as well as television, yellow page and other advertising expenditures are expensed as incurred. Television, yellow page, and other advertising expenditures totaled $327,000, $294,000 and $315,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Allocation of Net Income: ------------------------- The general partners' share of net income consists of amounts attributable to their 1% capital contribution and an additional percentage of cash flow (as defined) which relates to the general partners' share of cash distributions as set forth in the Partnership Agreement (Note 4). All remaining net income is allocated to the limited partners. Per unit data is based on the weighted average number of the limited partnership units (44,000) outstanding during the period. Cash and Cash Equivalents: -------------------------- For financial statement purposes, the Partnership considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. F-6 PUBLIC STORAGE PROPERTIES V, LTD. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Partnership Matters (Continued) Marketable Securities: ---------------------- Marketable securities at December 31, 2003 consist of 533,334 shares of common stock and 17,331 shares of Equity Stock, Series A of Public Storage, Inc. The Partnership has designated its portfolio of marketable securities as being available for sale. Accordingly, at December 31, 2003, the Partnership has recorded the marketable securities at fair value, based upon the closing quoted price of the securities at December 31, 2003, and has recorded a corresponding unrealized gain (loss) totaling $5,965,000, $(590,000) and $4,928,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, as a increase (decrease) to Partnership equity. The Partnership recognized dividends of $1,002,000, $1,002,000 and $944,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Comprehensive Income: --------------------- As of January 1, 1998, the Partnership adopted Statement 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. Statement 130 establishes new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components; however, the adoption of this Statement had no impact on the Partnership's net income or shareholders' equity. Statement 130 requires unrealized gains or losses on the Partnership's available-for-sale securities, which prior to adoption were reported separately in shareholders' equity, to be included in other comprehensive income. The primary impact of this statement for the Partnership is to recharacterize unrealized gains or losses in shareholders' equity as "other comprehensive income." Use of Estimates: ----------------- The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Impairment of Real Estate: -------------------------- We evaluate our real estate for impairment on a quarterly basis. We first evaluate these assets for indicators of impairment such as a) a significant decrease in the market price of real estate, b) a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which real estate is being used or in its physical condition, c) a significant adverse change in legal factors or the business climate that could affect the value of the real estate, d) an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally projected for the acquisition of construction of the real estate, or e) a current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of the real estate. When any such indicators of impairment are noted, we compare the carrying value of the real estate to the future estimated undiscounted cash flows attributable to the real estate. If the real estate's recoverable amount is less than the carrying value of the asset, then an impairment charge is booked for the excess of carrying value over the real estate's fair value. Our evaluations have identified no such impairments at December 31, 2003. Any long-lived assets which we expect to sell or dispose of prior to their previously estimated useful life are stated at the lower of their estimated net realizable value (less cost to sell) or their carrying value. F-7 PUBLIC STORAGE PROPERTIES V, LTD. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Partnership Matters (Continued) Environmental Cost: ------------------- Substantially all of the Partnership's facilities were acquired prior to the time that it was customary to conduct environmental investigations in connection with property acquisitions. Based on the assessments, the Partnership expensed $27,000 in 1995 for known environmental remediation requirements. Although there can be no assurance, the Partnership is not aware of any environmental contamination of any of its property sites which individually or in the aggregate would be material to the Partnership's overall business, financial condition, or results of operations. Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Guidance --------------------------------------------- As of March 25, 2003, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements and guidance, which were not effective for implementation prior to December 31, 2003, that would have a material impact upon reporting the operations or financial position of the Partnership. Segment Reporting: ------------------ The Partnership only has one reportable segment as defined within Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131. 3. Cash Distributions The Partnership Agreement requires that cash available for distribution (cash flow from all sources less cash necessary for any obligations or capital improvement) needs to be distributed at least quarterly. In June 1989, the Partnership financed its properties and distributed approximately $24,356,000 to its partners. Quarterly distributions were discontinued in 1991. The Partnership resumed with quarterly distributions beginning in the second quarter of 2002. We paid distributions during 2002 to the limited and general partners totaling $3,300,000 ($75.00 per unit) and $1,144,000, respectively. During 2003, we paid distributions to the limited and general partners totaling $5,104,000 ($116 per unit) and $1,770,000, respectively. Future distribution rates may be adjusted to levels which are supported by operating cash flow after capital improvements and other obligations. 4. Partners' Equity PSI and Hughes are general partners of the Partnership. In 1995, Hughes contributed his ownership and rights to distributions from the Partnership to BWH Marina Corporation II, a corporation wholly-owned by Hughes. As such, Hughes continues to act as a general partner of the Partnership but does not directly receive any compensation, distributions or other consideration from the Partnership. The general partners have a 1% interest in the Partnership. In addition, the general partners had an 8% interest in cash distributions attributable to operations (exclusive of distributions attributable to sale and financing proceeds) until the limited partners recovered all of their investment. Thereafter, the general partners have a 25% interest in all cash distributions (including sale and financing proceeds). During 1987, the limited partners recovered all of their initial investment. All subsequent distributions are being made 25.75% (including the 1% interest) to the general partners and 74.25% to the limited partners. Transfers of equity are made periodically to reconcile the partners' equity accounts to the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. These transfers have no effect on results of operations or distributions to partners. F-8 PUBLIC STORAGE PROPERTIES V, LTD. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 5. Related Party Transactions Management Agreements and Shared Expenses with PSI -------------------------------------------------- The Partnership has a management agreement with PSI pursuant to which PSI operates the Partnership's self-storage facilities for a fee equal to 6% of the facilities' gross revenue (as defined). The Partnership's business parks are managed by PS Business Parks, L.P. ("PSBP") pursuant to a management contract. PSBP, an affiliate of PSI operates the Partnership's business parks for a fee equal to 5% of the facilities gross income. For 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership paid $531,000, $514,000 and $525,000, respectively, pursuant to these management agreements. The Management Agreement between the Partnership and PSI provides that the Management Agreement may be terminated without cause upon 60 days written notice by the Partnership or six months notice by PSI. The Management Agreement between the Partnership and PSBP provides that the Management Agreement may be terminated (i) without cause upon 60 days written notice by the Partnership and upon seven years notice by PSBP and (ii) at any time by either party for cause. The Partnership's facilities, along with facilities owned by PSI and its affiliates, are managed jointly by PSI in order to take advantage of scale and other efficiencies. Joint costs are allocated on a methodology meant to fairly allocate such costs. Such joint costs include supervisory, relief, and administrative personnel costs, television advertising expenses, yellow page advertising, data processing, and insurance. The total of such expenses, which are included in Cost of Operations, amounted to $890,000, $761,000, and $720,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. Ownership Interest by the General Partners ------------------------------------------ In addition, B. Wayne Hughes, General Partner of the "Partnership", and Chairman of PSI and members of his family own 28.2% of the Limited Partnership units. PSI and its affiliates own 33.5% of the Limited Partnership units. Ownership in STOR-Re -------------------- The Partnership has a 1.4% ownership interest in STOR-Re Mutual Insurance Corporation ("STOR-Re"), which was formed in 1994 as an association captive insurance company, and is controlled by PSI. The Partnership accounts for its investment in STOR-Re, which is included in other assets, on the cost method, and has received no distributions during the three years ended December 31, 2003. STOR-Re provides limited property and liability insurance coverage to the Partnership, PSI, and affiliates. Liabilities for losses and loss adjustment expenses include an amount determined from loss reports and individual cases and an amount, based on recommendations from an outside actuary using a frequency and severity method, for losses incurred but not reported. Determining the liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expense is based upon estimates and while we believe that the amount is adequate, the ultimate loss may be in excess of or less than the amounts provided. The methods for making such estimates and for establishing the resulting liability are continually reviewed. The following table sets forth certain condensed consolidated financial information with respect to STOR-Re (representing 100% of this entity's operations and not the Partnership's pro-rata share): F-9 PUBLIC STORAGE PROPERTIES V, LTD.

6. Taxes Based on Income Taxes based on income are the responsibility of the individual partners and, accordingly, the Partnership's financial statements do not reflect a provision for such taxes. Unaudited taxable net income was $6,264,000, $6,357,000 and $5,996,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The difference between taxable net income and net income is primarily related to depreciation expense resulting from differences in book and tax depreciation methods. 7. Notes Payable On April 1, 1999, the partnership borrowed $17,000,000 from a commercial bank. The proceeds of the loan were used to repay the Partnership's mortgage debt. The loan was unsecured and bore interest at the London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") plus 0.60% to 1.20% depending on the Partnership's interest coverage ratio. The loan requires monthly payments of interest and matures April 2003. During the first quarter of 2002, the Partnership paid the loan in full without penalty. The partnership has entered into an interest rate swap agreement to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on a portion of its floating rate debt. The agreement, which covers $5,000,000 of debt through April, 2002 effectively changes the interest rate exposure from floating rate to a fixed rate of 5.64% plus 0.60% to 1.20% based on the Partnership's interest coverage ratio. Market gains and losses on the value of the swap are deferred and included in income over the life of the contract. The Partnership recorded the differences paid or received on the interest rate swap in interest expense as payments were made or received. During December 2001, the Partnership terminated this agreement at a cost of approximately $75,000. Interest paid during 2003, 2002 and 2001 was $0, $8,000 and $376,000, respectively.

9. Commitments and Contingencies Serrao v. Public Storage, Inc. (filed April 2003) ------------------------------------------------- (Superior Court - Orange County) -------------------------------- The plaintiff in this case filed a suit against Public Storage on behalf of a putative class of renters who rented self-storage units from Public Storage. Plaintiff alleges that Public Storage misrepresented the size of its storage units, has brought claims under California statutory and common law relating to consumer protection, fraud, unfair competition, and negligent misrepresentation, and is seeking monetary damages, restitution, and declaratory and injunctive relief. The claim in this case is substantially similar to those in Henriquez v. Public Storage, Inc., which was disclosed in prior reports. In January 2003, the plaintiff caused the Henriquez action to be dismissed. Based upon the uncertainty inherent in any putative class action, Public Storage cannot presently determine the potential damages, if any, or the ultimate outcome of this litigation. On November 3, 2003, the court granted Public Storage motion to strike the plaintiff's nationwide class allegations and to limit any putative class to California residents only. Public Storage is vigorously contesting the claims upon which this lawsuit is based including class certification efforts. Salaam, et al v. Public Storage, Inc. (filed February 2000) ----------------------------------------------------------- (Superior Court - Los Angeles County) ------------------------------------- The plaintiffs in this case are suing Public Storage on behalf of a putative class of California resident property managers who claim that they were not compensated for all the hours they worked. The named plaintiffs have indicated that their claims total less than $20,000 in aggregate. On December 1, 2003, the California Court of Appeals affirmed the Supreme Court's 2002 denial of plaintiff's motion for class certification. The maximum potential liability cannot be estimated, but can only be increased if claims are permitted to be brought on behalf of others under the California Unfair Business Practices Act. The affirmation of denial of class certification does not address the claim under the California Unfair Business Practices Act. Public Storage is continuing to vigorously contest the claims in this case and intends to resist any expansion beyond the named plaintiffs, including by opposing claims on behalf of others under the California Unfair Business Practices Act. Public Storage cannot presently determine the potential damages, if any, or the ultimate outcome of this litigation. F-11 PUBLIC STORAGE PROPERTIES V, LTD. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 Other Items ----------- Public Storage, Inc. and the Partnership are parties to various claims, complaints, and other legal actions that have arisen in the normal course of business from time to time, that are not described above. We believe that it is unlikely that the outcome of these other pending legal proceedings including employment and tenant claims, in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect upon the operations or financial position of the Partnership.

F-14 EX-14 3 q403psp5_ex14.txt EXHIBIT 14 - CODE OF ETHICS Exhibit - 14 PUBLIC STORAGE, INC. CODE OF ETHICS FOR SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS 1. Scope and Purpose This Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers applies to the Company's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions (each a "Senior Financial Officer"). This Code is designed to promote (1) honest and ethical conduct, (2) avoidance of conflicts of interests, (3) full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure and (4) compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations. Each Senior Financial Officer must conduct himself or herself in accordance with this Code and must seek to avoid even the appearance of improper behavior. Senior Financial Officers should also refer to and abide by the Company's Standards of Business Conduct, which are in addition to this Code. 2. Honest and Ethical Conduct 2. Honest and Ethical Conduct Each Senior Financial Officer must always conduct him/herself in an honest and ethical manner. Each Senior Financial Officer must act with the highest standards of personal and professional integrity and not tolerate others who, attempt to deceive, or evade responsibility for actions. All actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships must be handled honestly, ethically and in accordance with the policies specified in this Code. 3. Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations 3. Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations, both in letter and in spirit, is one of the foundations on which this Company's ethical policies are built. Each Senior Financial Officer must understand and take responsibility for complying with the governmental laws, rules and regulations of the cities, states and countries in which the Company operates. For example, it is critical that Senior Financial Officers understand the governmental laws, rules and regulations applicable to disclosures the Company is required to make in its periodic reports and otherwise. Although a Senior Financial Officer may not know the details of all these laws, rules and regulations, it is important that he or she know enough to determine when to seek advice from the general counsel or other appropriate personnel. 4. Rules to Promote Full, Fair, Accurate, Timely and Understandable Disclosure 4. Rules to Promote Full, Fair, Accurate, timely and Understandable Disclosure Each Senior Financial Officer must take the following steps to ensure full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by the Company: 1. Carefully review drafts of reports and documents the Company is required to file with the SEC before they are filed and Company press releases or other public communications before they are released to the public, with particular focus on disclosures each Senior Financial Officer does not understand or agree with and on information known to the officer that is not reflected in the report, document, press release or public communication. Exhibit 14 2. Meet with the disclosure committee, members of senior management not on the committee, division heads, accounting staff and others involved in the disclosure process to discuss their comments on the draft report, document, press release or public communication. 3. Establish and maintain disclosure controls and procedures that ensure that material information is included in each report, document, press release or public communication in a timely fashion. 4. Consult with the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors on a regular basis to determine whether they have identified any weaknesses or concerns with respect to internal controls. 5. When relevant, confirm that neither the Company's internal auditors nor its outside accountants are aware of any material misstatements or omissions in the draft report or document, or have any concerns about the management's discussion and analysis section of a report. 6. Bring to the attention of the disclosure committee and/or Audit Committee matters that the Senior Financial Officer feels could compromise the integrity of the Company's financial reports. 7. Always act with the highest standards of personal and professional integrity; do not tolerate others who attempt to deceive, or to evade responsibility for their actions. 5. Reporting Violations of the Code Any Senior Financial Officer who becomes aware of any violation of the Code must promptly bring the violation to the attention of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. 6. Compliance with the Code Each Senior Financial Officer will be held accountable for adherence to this Code. A violator of this Code will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including a discharge from the Company and, where appropriate, civil liability and criminal prosecution. 7. Waiver of the Code Any waiver of this Code may be made only by the independent directors on the Board of Directors or by an authorized committee of the Board of Directors comprised solely of independent directors, and will be disclosed as required by law or SEC regulations. 8. Acknowledgement Senior Financial Officers are required to sign a form acknowledging that they have received, read, and agree to comply with the Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers.
