See accompanying notes. 2 PS 401(k) PROFIT SHARING PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2003 (Unaudited, see Footnote 1) 1. Status of Financial Statements and Footnotes -------------------------------------------- The accompanying financial statements and related footnotes of the PS 401(k)/Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan") are unaudited. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires public accountants who express opinions on the financial statements of companies that regularly file reports with the Securities and Exchange commission to be registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the "PCAOB"). The Plan engaged a firm to perform an audit of the accompanying financial statements and footnotes. This firm has not yet completed its registration with the PCAOB. In its current status, the firm is not permitted to express an opinion on the accompanying financial statements for submission to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The firm engaged to perform the audits has informed us that it has submitted its application and related fees to the PCAOB. Consequently, the firm's audit opinion as to the fairness of the accompanying financial statements and related footnotes is excluded from this report, and amounts presented herein are considered unaudited. The Plan is awaiting the PCAOB's authorization for the firm to issue an opinion and will file an amended report with the firm's audit opinion. If the firm does not receive authorization from the PCAOB, another firm will be engaged to perform audits and express an opinion on the fairness of the accompanying financial statements and related footnotes. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Principles -------------------------------------------- Basis of Presentation --------------------- PS 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan") encompasses Public Storage, Inc., PS Business Parks, Inc. and their majority owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). Basis of Accounting ------------------- The financial statements of the Plan are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. Estimates --------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates. Income Tax Status ----------------- On November 30, 2000, the Company did an amendment and complete restatement of the Amendment and Restatement of the Public Storage Profit Sharing Plan adopted December 29, 1994. Effective January 1, 2001, the plan is amended and restated as the PS 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan is intended to qualify under Section 401 of the Code, and was amended and restated principally to introduce a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code, and to comply with the requirements of GUST. GUST amendments include the qualification requirements under (1) the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, (2) the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994, (3) the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, (4) the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, and (5) the Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998. A determination letter was received on March 14, 2003. The Plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements. 3 PS 401(k) PROFIT SHARING PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) December 31, 2003 (Unaudited, see Footnote 1) 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Principles (continued) -------------------------------------------------------- Investment Valuation -------------------- On August 1, 2003, the Plan's administrative committee (the Committee) transferred the Plan's assets from Salomon Smith Barney to Union Bank. Investments in cash equivalents (liquid funds, money market funds and time deposits) are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in mutual funds are stated at fair value. All other securities are valued at the last reported sale price on the last business day of the Plan year or at quoted market price. Interest and dividend income is recognized when earned. Unrealized gains and losses result from the change in the fair value of investments held at both the beginning and end of the year, the difference between cost and year-end fair value for investments acquired during the year, and adjustments for unrealized gains and losses previously recognized on investments sold during the year. 3. Description of the Plan ----------------------- The following description of the plan provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. The PS 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan is a defined contribution plan for the benefit of all permanent employees of the Company who have completed at least one year of service and attained 21 years of age. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Although it has not expressed the intention to do so, the Company has the right to terminate the Plan subject to ERISA provisions. The Plan allows interim allocations of Company contributions and earnings or losses of trust fund assets among participants. Major provisions of the Plan, are as follows: Contributions ------------- Employee contributions to the Plan (voluntary contributions) are deferrals of the employee's compensation made through a direct reduction of compensation in each payroll period. The maximum annual tax deferred contribution amount is limited to $12,000 for 2003 and $11,000 for 2002. The Company contributes 3% of the employee's compensation for all participants in the Plan. Participant Accounts -------------------- Each participant's account is credited with the participant's and the Company's contribution. Vesting ------- Employee deferrals and the 3% Company contribution are 100% vested and non-forfeitable. Pre-January 2001 profit sharing Company contribution balances vested over a seven year period. Generally, each participant's account becomes 10 percent vested (non-forfeitable) after two years of service (as defined), 20 percent after three years of service and an additional 20 percent for each additional year of service thereafter. 4 PS 401(k) PROFIT SHARING PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) December 31, 2003 (Unaudited, see Footnote 1) 3. Description of the Plan (continued) ----------------------------------- Upon death, severance by reason of disability, or the attainment of the participant's sixty-fifth birthday, a participant automatically becomes fully vested to the extent of the balance in their account. In the event the Plan is terminated or contributions are completely discontinued, each participant becomes fully vested. Investment Options ------------------ For the year ended December 31, 2003, upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct contributions in any of the following nineteen investment options. Highmark Div. Money Market Strong Government Securities BGI Lifepath Income Fund R BGI Lifepath 2010 Class R BGI Lifepath 2020 Class R BGI Lifepath 2030 Class R BGI Lifepath 2040 Class R MFS Value A Federated Capital Appreciation Dreyfus S&P 500 Index Janus Adv CAP Appreciation American Funds Growth Fund R3 AIM Opportunities A AIM Small CAP Growth A Oakmark International II Ivy Science & Technology Y Public Storage Common Stock Public Storage Preferred Stock P.S. Business Parks Stock Participants may change their investment options at any time. Distributions from the Trust Fund --------------------------------- Distributions of each participant's vested account balance upon severance or death are made in a single lump sum payment; or if the participant's vested account balance exceeds $5,000, payment may be deferred up until April 1st of the calendar year in which the participant reaches 70 1/2 years of age. Additionally, the Plan provides for hardship distributions (as defined) at the discretion of the Committee. Generally, distributions are made no later than 60 days after the close of the Plan year in which the participant becomes eligible for such distributions. Under certain circumstances, participants of the Plan as of December 31, 1983 may elect alternative distribution methods. 5 PS 401(k) PROFIT SHARING PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) December 31, 2003 (Unaudited, see Footnote 1) 3. Description of the Plan (continued) ----------------------------------- Forfeitures ----------- For profit sharing contributions made by the Company prior to January 1, 2001, if a participant terminates his/her employment before he/she is 100% vested, he/she forfeits any non-vested amounts. The non-vested portion of a participant's account is forfeited as of the date of distribution of his/her vested interest. Employees resuming participation in the Plan prior to incurring the greater of five consecutive one-year breaks in service, or their prior service if greater than five years, may have the non-vested portion of their account balance restored upon repayment to the Plan of the full amount of such previously distributed vested interest. Restoration of the non-vested portion of a participant's account is to be made first from available forfeitures and then from Company contributions. 4. Investments ----------- All of the investments are under the custody of Union Bank under a non-discretionary trust agreement with the Plan. The following table presents the fair value of investments. Investments that represent 5 percent or more of the Plan's net assets are separately identified. The fair value of investments is determined by quoted market price.
