TABLE OF CONTENTS
The financial statements covered in this report for the period from January 1, 2004 to August 16, 2004 contain the results of operations and financial condition of Extra Space Storage LLC (the Predecessor) and its subsidiaries, the predecessor to Extra Space Storage Inc. (the Company) and its subsidiaries, prior to the consummation of the Companys initial public offering on August 17, 2004.
Throughout this report we make forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include the words may, will, believes, anticipates, continues, likely, should, estimates, expects and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and in Section 21F of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, changes in general economic conditions and in the markets in which the Company operates:
the effect of competition from new self-storage facilities or other storage alternatives, which would cause rents and occupancy to decline;
the Companys ability to effectively compete in the industry in which it does business;
difficulties in the Companys ability to evaluate, finance and integrate acquired and developed properties into the Companys existing operations and to lease up those properties, which could adversely affect the Companys profitability;
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, which could increase the Companys costs and reduce the Companys cash available for distribution;
difficulties in raising capital at reasonable rates, which could impede the Companys ability to grow; and
delays in development and construction processes, which could adversely affect the Companys profitability; and economic uncertainty due to the impact of war or terrorism which could adversely affect its business plan.
The Company disclaims 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.

Extra Space Storage Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Amounts in thousands, except shares and per share data
1. ORGANIZATION
Extra Space Storage Inc. (the Company), a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (REIT), was formed on April 30, 2004 to own, operate, acquire and develop self-storage facilities located throughout the United States and continues the business of Extra Space Storage LLC (the Predecessor). The Companys interest in its properties is held through its operating partnership Extra Space Storage LP (the Operating Partnership), and its primary assets are general partner and limited partner interests in the Operating Partnership.
The Company invests in self-storage facilities by acquiring or developing wholly owned facilities or by acquiring an equity interest in real estate entities. At September 30, 2005, the Company had direct and indirect equity interest in 546 storage facilities located in 34 states, including Washington D.C.
The Company operates in two distinct segments: 1) Property Management and Development and 2) Rental Operations. The Companys Property Management and Development activities include acquiring, managing, developing and selling self-storage facilities. The Rental Operations segment includes rental operations of self-storage facilities.
On August 17, 2004, the Company completed its initial public offering (the Offering) of 20,200,000 shares of common stock. On September 1, 2004, the underwriters exercised their over allotment option and purchased 3,030,000 shares of common stock. The Company succeeded to the business conducted by the Predecessor.
In connection with the Offering, the existing holders of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class E units in the Predecessor exchanged these units for an aggregate of 7,939,950 shares of common stock, 1,608,437 Operating Partnership (OP) units, 3,888,843 contingent conversion shares (CCSs), 200,046 contingent conversion units (CCUs) and $18,885 in cash. As a result of this exchange, the Predecessor became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership and, as of September 30, 2005, is a 90.91% subsidiary of the Company.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, the Company has elected to measure and record compensation cost relative to employee stock option costs in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations and make pro forma disclosures of net loss and basic loss per share as if the fair value method of valuing stock options had been applied. Under ABP No. 25, compensation cost is recognized for stock options granted to employees when the option price is less than the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, 4,948 shares of common stock were issued pursuant to options being exercised. For purposes of the pro forma disclosures, we apply SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, which requires the Company to estimate the fair value of the employee stock options at the grant date using an option-pricing model. The following table represents the effect on net loss and loss per share if the Company had applied the fair value based method and recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, as amended:

The fair value of options granted under the Companys stock plan was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used: dividend yield of 6.9%, expected volatility of from 19.0% to 22.0%, risk free interest rate from 3.3% to 4.3%, and expected life of 5 years. The weighted-average fair value of options at the date of grant was $1.25.

4. NET LOSS PER SHARE
Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average common shares outstanding, excluding unvested restricted stock. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average common shares outstanding, excluding unvested restricted stock. Diluted loss per share is unchanged from basic loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 because the addition of common shares that would be issued assuming exercise or conversion would be anti-dilutive. No options, OP units or unvested restricted stock were included in the computation of diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders per share for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, because the effect would have been antidilutive. Options to purchase 3,015,774 and 1,324,000 shares of common stock were outstanding at September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding included Class A units, on a pro forma basis, as if the Class A units had been converted to common stock using the initial public offering conversion ratio of one Class A unit to 0.08 shares of common stock.
The basic and diluted loss per share does not include the potential effects of the CCSs and CCUs as such securities would not have participated in earnings for any of the periods presented. These securities will not participate in distributions until they are converted. Such conversion cannot occur prior to March 31, 2006.

7. INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE VENTURES
At September 30, 2005, the Company held minority investments in the following joint ventures:
1) Extra Space West One LLC (ESW)
2) Extra Space Northern Properties Six, LLC (ESNPS)
3) PRISA
4) PRISA II
5) PRISA III
6) VRS
7) WCOT
8) Storage Portfolio I, LLC (Teachers)
9) Storage Portfolio Bravo II, LLC (Heitman) and

In these joint ventures, the Company and the joint venture partner generally receive a preferred return on their invested capital. To the extent that cash/profits in excess of these preferred returns are generated through operations or capital transactions, the Company would receive a higher percentage of the excess cash/profits than its equity interest.
During the first and second quarter 2004, the Predecessor held a minority investment in Extra Space East One LLC (ESE). The Predecessor acquired its joint venture partners interest in ESE on May 4, 2004. Subsequent to the acquisition of its partners joint venture interest in ESE, the Company has consolidated the properties previously owned by ESE.
To the extent that properties were sold/transferred into these ventures where such transactions did not qualify for sales treatment, those properties are reflected as being owned by the Predecessor in the consolidated financial statements with the joint venture partners interests in these properties reflected as minority interests and putable preferred interests in consolidated joint ventures. There were no such transactions as of September 30, 2005 or December 31, 2004.

8. NOTES RECEIVABLE
Notes receivable relate to construction advances Storage USA had offered to franchisees, although all properties are now in their operating phase. The notes are collateralized by the franchised properties and have terms up to five years. Interest payments are generally due monthly on the notes during the first two years of the term, with amortization of principal generally commencing in the third year based upon a 25-year schedule with the balance due at the due date. The loans generally bear interest based on a spread over the Prime interest rate or on a fixed rate of 5.85%. Typically, advances represented 70%-90% of the anticipated cost of the project.
Based upon management assessments of current and historical loss experience, loan portfolio trends, prevailing economic and business conditions, specific loan review and other relevant
12
factors, the face value of certain notes has been reduced by an aggregate of $3 million to reflect their estimated fair value on the date of acquisition.

Substantially all of the Companys and the Predecessors real estate assets are pledged as collateral for the notes payable. In addition, the Company is subject to certain restrictive covenants relating to the outstanding notes payable, which the Company was in compliance with at September 30, 2005.
The Company has entered into a reverse interest rate swap agreement (Swap Agreement) in order to float $61.8 million of 4.30% fixed interest rate secured notes due in June 2009. Under this Swap Agreement, the Company will receive interest at a fixed rate of 4.30% and pay interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 0.655%. The Swap Agreement matures at the same time the notes are due. This Swap Agreement qualifies as a fair value hedge, as defined by SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended and interpreted, and the fair value of the Swap Agreement is recorded as an asset or liability, with an offsetting adjustment to the carrying value of the related note payable. Monthly interest payments are recognized as an increase or decrease in interest expense.
The estimated fair value of the Swap Agreement is a liability of $1,815 and $532 at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, interest expense has been reduced by $51 and $285, respectively as a result of the Swap Agreement.
On July 14, 2005, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a $100.0 million bridge loan (the Bridge Loan) with a financial institution, maturing on November 11, 2005. The Bridge Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 150 basis points or at the base rate specified therein and is guaranteed by the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company. The Bridge Loan provides for various customary events of default which could result in an acceleration of all amounts payable there under. The terms of the Bridge Loan require that it be repaid with the proceeds of equity offerings by the Company. As of September 30, 2005 the Company had an outstanding balance of $61.3 million.

The Note has a fixed rate of 6.53% through June 30, 2010 and then will be payable at a variable rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 2.25% per annum. The interest on the Note, payable quarterly, will be used by the Trust to pay dividends on the trust preferred securities. The trust preferred securities may be redeemed by the Trust with no prepayment premium after June 30, 2010.
Under FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities and Revised Amendment to FIN 46 (FIN 46R), Trust, Trust II and Trust III are not consolidated. A
15
debt obligation has been recorded in the form of notes as discussed above for the proceeds, which are owed to the Trust, Trust II, and Trust III by the Company.

Other miscellaneous liabilities mainly include other employee-related accruals. The liability also includes severance of $1,187 and an obligation under a long-term lease agreement for Storage USAs corporate offices in Memphis, Tennessee of $3,120, related to the Transaction. There have been no material adjustments or payments to these accruals since the date of the Transaction. Also included are various amounts owed for legal fees and other costs related to the Transaction.
14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
At September 30, 2005, the Company had receivables from related parties for $31.1 million. Of these amounts, $19.0 million were from joint venture properties related to unpaid management fees and other advances made by the Company to fund the operations of these properties. In addition $6.2 million were receivables from PRISA, PRISA II, PRISA II, VRS, and WCOT joint ventures for partial reimbursement of severance and other transition costs incurred by the Company on their behalf related to the Transaction. The PRISA, PRISA II, PRISA III, VRS, and WCOT joint ventures had agreed to share a portion of these costs. In addition, $3.4 million related to development fees receivable.
On January 1, 2004, the Predecessor distributed its equity ownership in Extra Space Development (ESD), a subsidiary consolidated at that time, to its Class A members. ESD owned 13 early-stage development properties, two parcels of undeveloped land and a note receivable. The net book value of the distributed properties and related liabilities was approximately $15.0 million. The Predecessor retained a receivable of $6.2 million from ESD and recorded a net distribution of $9.0 million. In September 2004, ESD repaid the amounts due to the Company using funds obtained through new loans on unencumbered properties. The Predecessor was required to continue to consolidate certain of the properties due to financial guarantees. Concurrent with the initial public offering, the Company was released from all guarantees, and the properties were deconsolidated as of August 16, 2004. ESD paid the Company $67 and $17 for the three months ending September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $176 and $24 for the nine months ending September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, relating to management fees.
16
The Company has determined that it holds a variable interest in properties in which ESD owns or has an ownership interest. The Company does not have an equity investment or interest, and is not the primary beneficiary. This variable interest is a result of management and development contracts that are held by the Company. The variable interest is limited to the management and development fees and no additional loss can be attributed to the Company. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary in these agreements. Accordingly, such properties have not been consolidated subsequent to August 16, 2004.
On January 1, 2004, the Predecessor distributed the $4.5 million (including accrued interest of $438) note receivable from Centershift to the Class A unit holders. Effective January 1, 2004, the Company entered into a license agreement with Centershift which secures a perpetual right for continued use of STORE (the site management software used at all sites operated by the Company) in all aspects of the Companys property acquisition, development, redevelopment and operational activities. The Company paid Centershift $383 and $159 for the three months ending September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $575 and $322 for the nine months ending September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, relating to the purchase of software and to license agreements.
15. MINORITY INTEREST IN OPERATING PARTNERSHIP
The Companys interest in its properties is held through the Operating Partnership. ESS Holding Business Trust I, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Company is also a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, and controls the operations of the Operating Partnership, holding a 90.91% majority ownership interest therein as of September 30, 2005. The remaining ownership interests in the Operating Partnership of 9.09% are held by certain former owners of assets acquired by the Operating Partnership. The Company and Operating Partnership were formed to continue to operate and expand the business of the Predecessor.
The minority interest in the Operating Partnership represents OP units that are not owned by the Company. In conjunction with the formation of the Company and as a result of subsequent acquisitions, certain persons and entities contributing interests in properties to the Operating Partnership received limited partnership units. Limited partners who received OP units in the formation transactions have the right to require the Operating Partnership to redeem part or all of their OP units for cash based upon the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of common stock at the time of the redemption. Alternatively, the Company may elect to acquire those OP units in exchange for shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to anti-dilution adjustments provided in the Operating Partnership agreement.
On July 14, 2005 the Company issued 1,470,149 OP units valued at $21.6 million in conjunction with the Transaction. On September 9, 2005, 350,000 OP units were redeemed in exchange for common stock. As of September 30, 2005, the Operating Partnership had 3,791,200 OP units outstanding and 200,046 shares of CCUs were issued and outstanding.
Unlike the OP units, CCUs do not carry any voting rights. Upon the achievement of certain performance thresholds relating to 14 early-stage lease-up properties, all or a portion of the CCUs will be automatically converted into shares of the Companys common stock. Initially, each CCU will be convertible on a one-for-one basis into shares of common stock, subject to customary
17
anti-dilution adjustments. Beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2006, and ending with the quarter ending December 31, 2008, the Company will calculate the net operating income from the 14 wholly owned early-stage lease-up properties over the 12-month period ending in such quarter. Within 35 days following the end of each quarter referred to above, some or all of the CCUs will be converted so that the total percentage (not to exceed 100%) of CCUs issued in connection with the formation transactions that have been converted to common stock will be equal to the percentage determined by dividing the net operating income for such period in excess of $5.1 million by $4.6 million. If any CCU remains unconverted through the calculation made in respect of the 12-month period ending December 31, 2008, such outstanding CCUs will be cancelled and restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock.
While any CCUs remain outstanding, a majority of the Companys independent directors must review and approve the net operating income calculation for each measurement period and also must approve any sales of any of the 14 wholly owned early-stage lease-up properties.
16. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
On June 20, 2005 the Company completed a private placement of 6.2 million shares of its common stock at an offering price of $13.47 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $83.5 million. Transaction costs were $2.2 million, resulting in net proceeds of $81.3 million. The shares were issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Pursuant to the terms of the registration rights agreement, the Company filed a registration statement covering the shares on September 22, 2005. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective as soon as possible thereafter, but in any event within 90 days thereafter. If the registration statement is not declared effective within this time period, the Company has agreed to pay liquidated damages as described in the Registration Rights Agreement.
The Companys charter provides that it can issue up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, 4,100,000 CCSs, $.01 par value per share, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. As of September 30, 2005, 37,914,898 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding, 3,888,843 shares of CCSs were issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding.
Unlike the Companys shares of common stock, CCSs do not carry any voting rights. Upon the achievement of certain performance thresholds relating to 14 early-stage lease-up properties, all or a portion of the CCSs will be automatically converted into shares of the Companys common stock. Initially, each CCS will be convertible on a one-for-one basis into shares of common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. Beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2006, and ending with the quarter ending December 31, 2008, the Company will calculate the net operating income from the 14 wholly owned early-stage lease-up properties over the 12-month period ending in such quarter. Within 35 days following the end of each quarter referred to above, some or all of the CCSs will be converted so that the total percentage (not to exceed 100%) of CCS issued in connection with the formation transactions that have been converted to common stock will be equal to the percentage determined by dividing the net operating income for such period in excess of $5.1 million by $4.6 million. If any CCS remains unconverted through the calculation made in respect of the 12-month period ending December 31,
18
2008, such outstanding CCSs will be cancelled and restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock.
While any CCSs remain outstanding, a majority of the Companys independent directors must review and approve the net operating income calculation for each measurement period and also must approve any sales of any of the 14 wholly owned early-stage lease-up properties.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, the Company granted 190,000 shares of restricted stock, without consideration. At the date of the grant, the recipient had all rights of a stockholder including the right to vote and receive dividends subject to restrictions on transfers and forfeiture provisions. The forfeiture and transfer restriction on the shares typically lapse over a three to four year period beginning on the date of grant. The Company recorded deferred compensation in stockholders equity equal to the market value of the restricted shares on the date of grant and amortizes deferred compensation to expense over the vesting period. For the three and nine months ending September 30, 2005, $416 of amortization expense of this deferred compensation is included in general and administrative expense.

18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company has guaranteed three construction loans for unconsolidated partnerships that own development properties in Baltimore, Maryland, Chicago, Illinois and Peoria, Arizona. These properties are owned by joint ventures in which the Company has a 10% equity interest. These guarantees were entered into in November 2004, July 2005, and August 2005,
20
respectively. At September 30, 2005, the total amount of guaranteed mortgage debt relating to these joint ventures was $6.6 million. These mortgage loans mature December 1, 2007, July 28, 2008, and August 31, 2008, respectively. If the joint ventures default on the loans, the Company may be forced to repay the loans. Repossessing and/or selling the self-storage facilities and the land that collateralize the loans could provide funds sufficient to reimburse the Company. The estimated fair market value of the encumbered assets at September 30, 2005 is $14.4 million. The Company has recorded no liability in relation to this guarantee as of September 30, 2004 or December 31, 2004. The fair value of the guarantee is not material. To date the joint ventures have not defaulted on its mortgage debt. The Company believes the risk of having to perform on the guarantee is remote.
The Company has been involved in routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2005, the Company is not presently involved in any material litigation nor, to its knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against it, or its properties.
19. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Subsequent to September 30, 2005, hurricane Wilma affected 17 of the Companys wholly-owned facilities and 21 facilities that were owned in joint ventures. The impact of hurricane Wilma is currently being assessed by the Company. The Companys preliminary estimate is that the cost of repairs will be $800 after expected insurance reimbursements. The total damage sustained by properties managed by the Company is approximately $2.3 million. All of the affected self-storage facilities are open and operating.
20. ACCOUNTING AND DISCLOSURE CHANGES
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, ShareBased Payment. SFAS No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Among other items, SFAS No. 123R eliminates the use of ABP Opinion No. 25 and the intrinsic value method of accounting, and requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, based on the grant date fair value of those awards, in the financial statements. The effective date of SFAS No. 123R is the first reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005, which is third quarter 2005 for calendar year companies, although early adoption is allowed. However, on April 14, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that the effective date of SFAS No. 123R will be suspended until January 1, 2006, for calendar year companies.
SFAS No. 123 permits companies to adopt its requirements using either a modified prospective method, or a modified retrospective method. Under the modified prospective method, compensation cost is recognized in the financial statements beginning with the effective date, based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments granted after that date, based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all unvested awards granted prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R. Under the modified retrospective method, the requirements are the same as under the modified prospective method, but also permits entities to restate
21
financial statements of previous periods based on pro forma disclosures made in accordance with SFAS No. 123.
The Company currently utilizes a standard option pricing model (Black-Scholes) to measure the fair value of stock options granted to Employees. While SFAS No. 123R permits entities to continue to use such a model, the standard also permits the use of a lattice model. The Company has not yet determined which model it will use to measure the fair value of employee stock options under the adoption of SFAS No. 123R.
The Company currently expects to adopt SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006, based on the new effective date announced by the SEC. In addition, the Company has not determined the financial statement impact of adopting SFAS No. 123R for periods beyond 2005.

CAUTIONARY LANGUAGE
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this report and the Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. The Company makes statements in this section that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. For a complete discussion of forward-looking statements, see the section in this Form 10-Q entitled Statement on Forward Looking Information.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Companys discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The Companys notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies essential to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Preparation of our financial statements requires estimates, judgments and assumptions. The Company believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions which it has used are appropriate and correct based on information available at the time that they were made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the Companys reported assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenue and expense during the period presented. If there are material differences between these estimates, judgments and assumptions and actual facts, the Companys financial statements may be affected.
In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require our judgment in its application. There are areas in which the Companys judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result, but there are some areas in which the Companys judgment in selecting among available alternatives would produce a materially different result. See the Notes to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements that contain additional information regarding the Companys accounting policies and other disclosures.
OVERVIEW
The Company is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust formed to continue the business commenced in 1977 by its predecessor companies to own, operate, acquire, develop and redevelop professionally managed self-storage properties. The Company derives a substantial portion of its revenues from rents received from tenants under existing leases on each of its self-storage properties. Additional revenue is derived from management and franchise fees from the Companys joint venture and franchise properties. The Company operates in competitive markets where consumers have multiple self-storage properties
23
from which to choose. Competition has and will continue to impact the Companys results. The Company experiences minor seasonal fluctuations in occupancy levels, with occupancy levels higher in the summer months due to increased rental activity.
The Companys operating results, therefore, depend materially on its ability to lease available self-storage space and on the ability of its tenants to make required rental payments. The Company believes it is able to respond quickly and effectively to changes in local, regional and national economic conditions by centrally adjusting rental rates through its internal revenue management team by utilizing STORE, the operating management software employed at all of the Companys owned and managed properties.
The Company continues to evaluate a range of new growth initiatives and opportunities in order to enable it to maximize stockholder value. These include:
Maximize the performance of properties through strategic, efficient and timely management. The Company plans to pursue revenue generating and expense minimizing opportunities on all fronts. The Companys revenue management team will seek to maximize revenue by responding to changing market conditions through STOREs unique ability to provide real-time, interactive rental rate and discount management. The Companys newly acquired scale will allow for greater ability to implement and justify national, regional and local marketing programs which will drive more business to its stores. To control expenses, operational efficiencies will be gained through increased operational scale, technology improvements and the rationalization of corporate expenses.
Focus on the acquisition of self-storage properties from franchisees and third parties. The Company has benefited greatly from the acquisition of existing properties. The acquisitions team will continue to aggressively pursue the acquisition of single properties and portfolios that it believes can provide short and long-term stockholder value. The Companys acquisition of Storage USA has further bolstered its reputation as a reliable, ethical buyer which enhances its ability to negotiate and close non-brokered, private deals. In addition, the Companys status as an UPREIT enables flexibility when structuring deals.
Develop new self-storage properties through joint venture relationships. The Company has several joint venture relationships and will continue to utilize these relationships to develop new self-storage properties in the Companys core markets. Our 2006 development pipeline includes 12 of these projects. The construction of many of these properties has already begun.
Expand the Companys newly acquired franchise and management business. The Company sees the franchise and management business as a future development and acquisition pipeline.
STORAGE USA ACQUISITION
On July 14, 2005, the Company completed, along with joint venture partner Prudential Real Estate Investors (PREI), the acquisition of Storage USA (SUSA) from General Electric Corporation (GE). In connection with the SUSA transaction, the Company acquired SUSA Partnership, L.P.s equity interest in 78 joint venture properties and assumed the management of
24
60 franchises and managed properties. In addition, 259 of the self-storage properties acquired in the SUSA transaction were contributed to five separate limited liability companies that are owned by five subsidiaries of the Company (each, a Company Sub) and PREI. As part of this contribution, the Company Subs and PREI entered into limited liability company agreements which govern the rights and responsibilities of each such limited liability company. Following this transaction, the Company now has a joint venture interest in 355 self-storage properties.
PROPERTIES
As of September 30, 2005, the Company owned and operated 546 properties located in 34 states, including Washington D.C. Of these properties, 191 are wholly owned and 355 are held in joint ventures with third parties. The properties owned and operated before the SUSA acquisition operate under the service-marked Extra Space Storage brand name. The Company is currently implementing a re-branding program which will convert all of the SUSA stores to the Extra Space Storage brand. As of September 30, 2005 the Company owned or had ownership interest in approximately 37 million square feet of space configured in approximately 360,000 separate storage units. Over 65% of the properties are clustered around the larger population centers of Baltimore/Washington, D.C., Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, St. Petersburg/Tampa and San Francisco. These markets contain above-average population and income demographics and high barriers to entry for new self-storage properties. The clustering of assets around these population centers enables the Company to reduce its operating costs through economies of scale. The SUSA acquisition has given the Company increased scale in many core markets as well as a foothold in many markets where the Company had no previous presence.
The Company considers a property to be in the lease-up stage after it has been issued a certificate of occupancy, but before it has achieved stabilization. A property is considered to be stabilized once it has achieved an 85% occupancy rate, or has been open for four years. These same rules have been applied to the recently acquired SUSA properties.
The following table sets forth additional information regarding the occupancy of the stabilized properties on a state-by-state basis as of September 30, 2005 and 2004. The information as of September 30, 2004 is on a pro forma basis as though all the properties owned at September 30, 2005 were under the Companys control as of September 30, 2004.

The Companys property portfolio is a made up of different types of construction and building configurations depending on the site and the municipality where it is located. Most often sites are what we consider hybrid facilities, or a mix of both drive-up buildings and multi-floor buildings. The Company has several multi-floor buildings with elevator access only, and a number of facilities featuring ground-floor access only.
The Companys properties are generally situated in convenient, highly visible locations clustered around large population bases; however, due to certain factors, the Company has a handful of locations outside the top Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) that were developed or acquired based on the market, familiarity with the properties, or as part of a larger portfolio.
In addition to the 191 wholly-owned properties and the 355 properties in which the Company has an ownership interest, the Company also manages 74 properties for third parties and franchisees as of September 30, 2005 bringing total properties to 620. The Company receives a management fee equal to approximately 6% of gross revenues to manage these sites.

Three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to September 30, 2004
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased $24,967 or 137%, primarily due to an increase in property rental revenues of $18,709, or 107%, which include merchandise sales, insurance administrative fees and late fees. The increase in property rental revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2005 consists of $747 from the buyout of the certain joint venture interests (previously accounted for using the equity method of accounting), $11,386 from the properties acquired from SUSA, $5,834 from other acquisitions and $651 from increases in occupancy at lease-up properties.
Increase in interest income relates primarily to interest received on notes receivable from franchisees that were part of the acquisition of SUSA. The Company anticipates that the majority of these notes will be repaid prior to the end of 2005.
28
Nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to September 30, 2004
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased $47,647 or 111%, primarily due to a $41,739, or 103% increase in property rental revenues. The increase in property rental revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 consists of $6,792 from the buyout of the certain joint venture interests (previously accounted for using the equity method of accounting), $11,386 from the properties acquired from SUSA, $21,030 from other acquisitions and $2,210 from increases in occupancy at lease-up properties.
Management fees
Management fees typically represent 6.0% of revenues from properties owned by third parties and unconsolidated joint ventures. The increase in management fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 was due to the Company managing additional properties as a result of the SUSA transaction. These properties include joint venture properties in which the company holds a minority equity interest, franchise properties and third party managed properties. These increases were partially offset by the decrease in management fees from the Company purchasing its joint venture partners interest in Extra Space East One LLC and nine properties from Extra Space West One, LLC subsequent to September 30, 2004.

Minority Interest-Fidelity Preferred Return
Minority interest-Fidelity preferred return for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 decreased $916 and $3,136, respectively or 100% due to the redemption of the Fidelity minority interest on September 9, 2004.

30
Loss Allocated to Other Minority Interests
Loss allocated to other minority interests for the three and six months ended September 30, 2005 decreased $634 and $2,164, respectively or 100% primarily due to the Company buying out, or to the deconsolidation of, all minority partnership interest during 2004.
Equity in earnings of real estate ventures
Equity in earnings of real estate ventures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased $951 and $863, or 235% and 79%, respectively. The increase was due primarily to the Companys purchase of equity interests in joint ventures which own 337 properties as a result of the SUSA transaction.
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
Funds from operations (FFO) provides relevant and meaningful information about the Companys operating performance that is necessary, along with net loss and cash flows, for an understanding of the Companys operating results. FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (NAREIT) as net income (loss) computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), excluding gains or losses on sales of properties, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments to record unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures on the same basis. The Company believes that to further understand its performance, FFO should be considered along with the reported net loss and cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in the consolidated financial statements.
The computation of FFO may not be compared to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indication of the Companys performance, as an alternative to net cash flow from operating activates as a measure of its liquidity, or as an indicator of the Companys ability to make cash distributions. The following table sets for the calculation of FFO:

SAME-STORE STABILIZED PROPERTY RESULTS
The Company considers same-store stabilized portfolio to consist of only those properties owned by the Company at the beginning and at the end of the applicable periods presented and that had achieved stabilization as of the first day of such period, or where available for lease for four years as of the beginning of the first period presented. The following table sets forth operating data for the same-store portfolio for the Company and the Predecessors same-store portfolio. The Company considers the following same-store presentation to be meaningful in regards to the 38 properties shown below. These results provide information relating to property-level operating changes without the effects of acquisitions or completed developments. As the Company continues forward as a public company, it will have a greater population of same-store properties to which to make a comparison. Consequently, the results shown below should not be used as a basis for the Companys performance as a whole of for future same-store performance.

Same-Store Operating Revenues
Total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 for the Companys same-store stabilized property portfolio increased $295 and $699 or 4.3% and 3.5% primarily due to increased rental rates and the Companys ability to maintain occupancy while controlling discounts.
Same-Store Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 for the Companys same-store stabilized property portfolio increased $171 and $501, or 7.6% and 7.5%. The three month increase was due to increased advertising expenses. Year to date expense increases are primarily due to an increase in snow removal and property taxes. The increase in snow removal was a direct result of record snowfall in New England in January and February of 2005. Property taxes primarily increased in Florida and Massachusetts.
COMMON CONTINGENT SHARES AND COMMON CONTINGENT UNIT PROPERTY PERFORMANCE

CASH FLOWS
Cash used in operating activities was $12,663 compared to $15,200 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease in cash used was primarily due to increased operating revenues as a result of property acquisitions in 2004 and the nine months of 2005, and lower cash funding requirements relating to the Companys lease-up properties. In addition, the Company did not pay any preferred return to Fidelity in 2005, as this minority interest was redeemed September 9, 2004.
33
Cash used in investing activities was $618,076 and $236,112 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in 2005 is primarily the result of greater acquisitions and development and construction of real estate assets in the first nine months of 2005 than in 2004.
Cash provided by financing activities was $613,503 and $271,572 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The 2005 financing activities consisted primarily of additional net borrowings (including loan fees) of $557,739 offset by $22,808 paid in dividends. In addition, the Company issued 6.2 million shares of its common stock for net proceeds of $81.3 million. The 2004 financing activities consisted primarily of the issuance of common shares of $264,475.
OPERATIONAL SUMMARY
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company continued its same-store, year-on-year revenue growth that began in 2004 with a revenue increase of 4.3%. Move-in and move-out activity on the same-store portfolio was very similar to the same period in 2004. California and Florida remain our strongest regions, while New Jersey and Pennsylvania have continued to perform below the portfolio average. The metro-Boston area, the Companys largest market, continues to rebound, both in terms of occupancy and revenue.
Same-store expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 increased 7.6%, primarily due to an increase in advertising, repairs and maintenance and property taxes. Though many of the marketing programs generating the expense were organized in the quarter ended June 30, 2005, much of the associated expense was incurred in the most recent quarter when the programs occurred.
OUTLOOK
The Company believes that the acquisition of Storage USA will enable it to take advantage of its increased scale and property level revenue-generating opportunities. The transition of the Storage USA business processes, technology, accounting and human resources are substantially complete. However, further work remains and will continue for the next several quarters.
The continued increases in same-store revenue is encouraging, though there can be no assurance that this trend will continue. The Company is continually seeking to drive revenue growth by actively managing both pricing and promotional strategies utilizing the yield management features of STORE. Through the acquisition of Storage USA, the Company has gained Storage USAs in-house yield management staff, which the Company believes can further enhance revenue gains. Several in-house initiatives and marketing promotions continue to be implemented which also support the drive for increased revenue. The Company continues to believe that its use of real-time pricing and promotions will continue to provide the Company with the opportunity to grow revenues.
The Company anticipates continued competition from all operators, both public and private, in all of the markets in which the Company operates. The Company expects some of the larger competitors in the industry to continue aggressive, large-scale media campaigns that may inhibit our ability to control discounts, especially at our properties in the lease-up phase. Despite this, the Company expects a continued positive operating climate for self-storage operators, particularly for those with well-located, highly visible, and efficiently managed self-storage
34
properties.
REVENUE OUTLOOK
The Company believes that its pricing and discount strategies have positioned it well to maintain revenue growth for the remainder of 2005 and into 2006. However, there can be no guarantee that the current levels of revenue growth will continue. The Company aims to achieve not the highest level of occupancy, but the highest sustainable level of revenue to increase stockholder value. This may mean lower occupancy levels when compared on a year-on-year basis. The Company will also continue to selectively discount certain sites and units based on occupancy, availability, and competitive parameters that are controlled through the Companys software solution.
The performance of the Storage USA properties has, on average, been above historic Extra Space Storage properties. This difference is partly due to the impact of the Storage USAs revenue management team, which is now part of the Company. The Company believes that the disciplined, systematic and proactive approaches used by the revenue management team will have a positive effect on the Companys legacy facilities.
As the Company continues to grow, media opportunities that only a few companies currently possess in the industry will become available to the Company. Currently, marketing programs have been targeted on a local level. The Company seeks to both continue to stretch its marketing dollar further and investigate other marketing channels to better communicate its services to prospective customers and increase in-store traffic and sales.
EXPENSE OUTLOOK
Increased advertising, repairs and maintenance and property taxes were the primary cause of the Companys increase in expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to prior year. Though advertising increased significantly in the quarter, it is essentially flat for the year. Property taxes were up due to the reassessment of several properties that the Company has acquired in recent years. The Company hopes to be able to decrease certain controllable expenses through the remainder of 2005 in an attempt to bring overall repairs and maintenance expenses in line with budget for the current year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of September 30, 2005, the Company had approximately $7,093 available in cash and cash equivalents. The Company will be required to distribute at least 90% of its net taxable income, excluding net capital gains, to its stockholders on an annual basis to maintain its qualification as a REIT. It is unlikely that the Company will have any substantial cash balances that could be used to meet its liquidity needs. Instead, these needs must be met from cash generated from operations and external sources of capital.
The Company, as guarantor, and its Operating Partnership have entered into a $100.0 million revolving line of credit (Credit Facility), which includes a $10.0 million swingline sub facility. The Credit Facility is collateralized by self-storage properties. The Operating Partnership intends to use the proceeds of the Credit Facility for general corporate purposes and acquisitions. As of
35
September 30, 2005, the Credit Facility has approximately $74.7 million of capacity based on the assets collateralizing the Credit Facility. The outstanding principal balance of the Credit Facility at September 30, 2005 was $42.0 million and is due September 2007.
As of September 30, 2005, the Company had approximately $1.1 billion of debt, resulting in a debt to total capitalization ratio of approximately 62.2%. As of September 30, 2005, the ratio of total fixed rate debt and other instruments to total debt is approximately 78.3%. The weighted average interest rate of the total of fixed and variable rate debt at September 30, 2005 is approximately 5.4%.
The Company expects to fund its short-term liquidity requirements, including operating expenses, recurring capital expenditures, dividends to stockholders, distributions to holders of OP units and interest on its outstanding indebtedness out of its operating cash flow, cash on hand and borrowings under the Credit Facility.
Long-Term Liquidity Needs
The Companys long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of distributions to stockholders, new facility development, property acquisitions, principal payments under the Companys borrowings and non-recurring capital expenditures. The Company does not expect that its operating cash flow will be sufficient to fund its long-term liquidity needs and instead expects to fund such needs out of additional borrowings, joint ventures with third parties, and from the proceeds of public and private offerings of equity and debt. The Company may also use OP Units as currency to fund acquisitions from self-storage owners who desire tax-deferral in their exiting transactions.
FINANCING STRATEGY
The Company will continue to employ leverage in its capital structure in amounts determined from time to time by its board of directors. Although its board of directors has not adopted a policy, which limits the total amount of indebtedness that the Company may incur, it will consider a number of factors in evaluating the Companys level of indebtedness from time to time, as well as the amount of such indebtedness that will be either fixed or variable rate. In making financing decisions, the Companys board of directors will consider factors including but not limited to:
the interest rate of the proposed financing;
the extent to which the financing impacts flexibility in managing its properties;
prepayment penalties and restrictions on refinancing;
the purchase price of properties acquired with debt financing;
long-term objectives with respect to the financing;
target investment returns;
the ability of particular properties, and the Company as a whole, to generate cash flow
36
sufficient to cover expected debt service payments;
overall level of consolidated indebtedness;
timing of debt and lease maturities;
provisions that require recourse and cross-collateralization;
corporate credit ratios including debt service coverage, debt to total capitalization and debt to undepreciated assets; and
the overall ratio of fixed- and variable-rate debt.
The Companys indebtedness may be recourse, non-recourse or cross-collateralized. If the indebtedness is non-recourse, the collateral will be limited to the particular properties to which the indebtedness relates. In addition, the Company may invest in properties subject to existing loans collateralized by mortgages or similar liens on the Companys properties, or may refinance properties acquired on a leveraged basis. The Company may use the proceeds from any borrowings to refinance existing indebtedness, to refinance investments, including the redevelopment of existing properties, for general working capital or to purchase additional interests in partnerships or joint ventures or for other purposes when the Company believes it is advisable.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Except as disclosed in the notes to the Companys financial statements, the Company does not currently have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purposes entities, which typically are established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Further, except as disclosed in the notes to the Companys financial statements, the Company has not guaranteed any obligations of unconsolidated entities nor does it have any commitments or intent to provide funding to any such entities. Accordingly, the Company is not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if it had engaged in these relationships.

SEASONALITY
The self-storage business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. A greater portion of revenues and profits are realized from May through September. Historically, the Companys highest level of occupancy has been as of the end of July, while its lowest level of occupancy has been in late February and early March. Results for any quarter may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year.
38
We are exposed to market risk primarily due to fluctuations in interest rates. We utilize both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to offset these fluctuations. For fixed-rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair market value of the debt instrument, but not earnings or cash flow. Conversely, for variable-rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not impact the fair market value of the debt instrument, but do affect earnings and cash flow. We do not have the obligation to prepay fixed-rate debt prior to maturity, and, as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair market value should not have a significant impact on our fixed-rate debt until we are required or elect to refinance it.
The table below sets forth, at September 30, 2005, our debt obligations, principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, weighted-average interest rates, fair value of interest rate swap and estimated fair value (amounts in thousands):

Based upon the amount of variable rate debt outstanding at September 30, 2005, holding the variable rate debt balance constant, each one percentage point increase in interest rates would increase our interest cost by approximately $2.8 million annually.
The Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer conclude that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
39
We are involved in various litigation and proceedings in the ordinary course of business. We are not a party to any material litigation or legal proceedings, or to the best of our knowledge, any threatened litigation or legal proceedings, which, in the opinion or management individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
