1. | BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Business
Extra Space Storage Inc. (ESSI) (together with its subsidiaries, the Company) completed an initial public offering of its common stock on August 17, 2004, pursuant to which it sold 20,200,000 shares of common stock, with proceeds to the Company of approximately $234,825, net of issuance costs of $17,675. As part of the offering, the Company granted the underwriters the right to purchase up to 3,030,000 additional shares within thirty days after the offering to cover any over-allotments. On September 1, 2004, the underwriters exercised their right and purchased an additional 3,030,000 shares of common stock with proceeds to the Company of approximately $35,224, net of issuance costs of $2,651. The Company also paid additional issuance costs of $5,574.
In connection with the closing of the initial public offering, the Company also consummated various formation transactions. These formation transactions are described in detail in this report and in the Companys Registration Statement on Form S-11 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) in connection with the initial public offering (the Registration Statement). The Company succeeded to the business conducted by Extra Space Storage LLC (the Predecessor), a Delaware limited liability company. The financial statements covered in this report represent the results of operations and financial condition of the Predecessor for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and the period from January 1, 2004 through August 16, 2004, and the results of operations and financial condition of the Company for the period August 17, 2004 through September 30, 2004.
In connection with the initial public 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) and 200,046 contingent conversion units (CCUs) and $18.9 million in cash. As a result of this exchange, the Predecessor became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Extra Space Storage LP (the Operating Partnership), which is a 92.95% subsidiary of ESSI. The transaction did not result in a change in the carrying value of the Predecessors assets and liabilities because the exchange was accounted for at historical cost as a transfer of assets between companies under common control.
Basis of presentation
ESSI is a newly organized, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (REIT). ESSI was formed as a Maryland corporation on April 30, 2004 to operate, acquire and develop self-storage properties located throughout the United States.
The Companys interest in its properties is held through its operating partnership, Extra Space Storage LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the Operating Partnership). The Company holds the sole 1% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership. As of September 30, 2004, the Company also holds a 91.95% limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and the the Predecessor have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the audited annual
5
Extra Space Storage Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars in thousands)
consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Companys Registration Statement.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and those adjustments resulting from the initial public offering and formation transactions, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts that are reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on managements best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may be different from the estimates.
The results of operations for the period from August 17, 2004 to September 30, 2004 and January 1, 2004 to August 16, 2004 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any future period or the full year. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2003 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Companys Registration Statement and does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts from the prior periods presented have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on total assets, liabilities, members and shareholders equity or net loss.
Net loss per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares and the effect of dilutive unexercised stock options. For the periods prior to the initial public offering on August 17, 2004, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding includes Class A units 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. Options to purchase 1,324,000 shares of common stock at $12.50 per share were outstanding at September 30, 2004. No options were included in the computation of diluted net loss per share for the period ended September 30, 2004, because the effect would have been antidilutive.
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, which cannot occur prior to March 31, 2006.
A dividend of $0.1113 per share was paid in September 2004.

As discussed in Note 7, one member of the Company and the Predecessor has guaranteed certain borrowings of the Predecessor. The Predecessor did not pay any fees for these guarantees.
During 2002, the Predecessor distributed software with a net book value of $699 to the Class A unit holders. Those members contributed the software to a newly formed company, Centershift. During 2003 and 2002, the Predecessor advanced Centershift a total of $4,055 under the terms of a convertible note, which bears interest at 9%. The note receivable from Centershift was distributed and reflected as a reduction of members equity at December 31, 2003. On January 1, 2004, the Predecessor distributed the $4,493 (including accrued interest of $438) note receivable from Centershift to the Predecessors Class A members.
On January 1, 2004, the Predecessor distributed its equity ownership in Extra Space Development (ESD), a consolidated subsidiary, to the Class A members. ESD owns 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 $15,000. The Predecessor retained a receivable of $6,212 from ESD and recorded a net distribution of $9,000. In September 2004, ESD repaid the amounts due the Company using funds obtained through new loans on unencumbered properties. Through August 16, 2004, the Predecessor was required to continue consolidating 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 (Note 9). The Company does not intend to purchase these properties in the future.
The Company has determined that it has a variable interest in properties in which it does not have an equity investment or interest, and in which it 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 there is not any additional loss that can be attributed to the Company.
9. | PUTABLE PREFERRED INTERESTS IN CONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES AND OTHER MINORITY INTERESTS |
On August 17, 2004, the Company purchased its joint venture partners 49.5% interest in Extra Space Properties Three, LLC. Prior to the purchase of its joint venture partners interest, the Predecessor owned a 50.5% interest in Extra Space Properties Three, LLC. This arrangement provided for a preferred return of 12% on certain capital provided by both the Predecessor and the joint venture partner, and thereafter returns are split based upon percentage residual interests.
The Company also purchased its joint venture partners interests in 15 other self-storage facilities on August 17, 2004. The Predecessor had entered into these joint venture agreements with other entities controlled by Equibase Mini Warehouse. These arrangements provided for a preferred return of either 10% or 12%, depending on the specific agreement, on certain capital provided by the joint venture partner and thereafter returns are split based on the indicated percentage interests (generally 40% to the Predecessor and 60% to the investors).
Prior to the buyout of the Companys joint ventures partners (entities controlled by Equibase Mini Warehouse), the Predecessor and/or a significant unitholder provided certain financial guarantees to the secured lender (generally providing for performance under the loan including principal and interest payments), or to support a put right on a portion of the joint venture partners interest after a fixed period (generally either three or five years), that effectively provided for a return on and of the preferred portion of their investment. In addition, after a fixed period (generally either three or five years) the joint venture had the right to redeem the preferred capital at an amount equal to its unreturned contribution plus any accrued preferred return. Upon exercise of the put or call on the preferred portion of their investment, the joint venture investors would continue to hold their residual equity interests. As a result of the put rights and guarantees, the Predecessor consolidated the properties and related debt until the put rights and guarantees were satisfied or have expired. At
14
Extra Space Storage Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars in thousands)
December 31, 2003, all the joint venture properties were consolidated. The financial guarantees to the secured lender would generally expire upon satisfaction of the related loan at maturity or refinancing. The put rights and related guarantees have no stated maturity and would only expire upon exercise or through redemption of the preferred interests through a capital event.
On August 17, 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of joint venture interests held by Equibase Mini Warehouse and its affiliates in seven joint ventures, which currently own an aggregate of 30 self-storage properties, for an aggregate of approximately $35.8 million in cash and 114,928 OP Units issued by the Operating Partnership valued at $1,437.
Upon completion of the initial public offering, the Company has been released of all puts and guarantees relating to the remaining Equibase joint ventures. These guarantees and puts were transferred to Extra Space Development and a shareholder of the Company. Accordingly, these properties were deconsolidated as of August 17, 2004. The operating results through August 16, 2004 relating to the properties that were deconsolidated are included in the Companys Statements of Operations.
During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, the Predecessor reflected interest expense on the putable preferred interests of $1,114 and $1,342 and $4,227 and $3,583, including amortization of discounts ascribed at issuance for the periods of $140 and $324 and $1,043 and $865, respectively.
During the formation of ESE and ESW, the Predecessor agreed to guarantee the financial performance of certain properties which were acquired on behalf of those entities. As a result of these guarantees, the Predecessor consolidated these properties until these performance guarantees were satisfied or expired. During 2003, the guarantees related to two properties were either satisfied or expired. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Predecessor recognized $979 of expense, related to these guarantees. These amounts are classified as a component of unrecovered development / acquisition costs and support payments. At September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, there were no active guarantees related to these properties.
The Company continues to consolidate a property in Pico Rivera, California in which neither the Company or the Predecessor has any equity or profits interest. The property was owned by the Predecessor, and sold at cost to certain former members of the Predecessor. However, the Company and the Predecessor continue to guarantee the mortgage loan on the property, and therefore, will continue to consolidate the propertys operations until the loan guarantee is satisfied or released.

On September 9, 2004, the Operating Partnership completed its acquisition of the preferred equity interest held by Fidelity in Extra Space Properties Four LLC. This interest was acquired for approximately $21,530 in cash, which included the preferred return through November 25, 2004 without penalty.
11. | MINORITY INTEREST IN OPERATING PARTNERSHIP |
The minority interest in the Operating Partnership represents OP Units that are not owned by the Company, which, at September 30, 2004 totaled to 8.05% of the outstanding units (8.84% as of August 17, 2004). In conjunction with the formation of the Company, certain persons and entities contributing interests in properties to the Operating Partnership received limited partnership units (OP units). Limited partners who received OP units in the formation transactions have the right, commencing on or after August 17, 2005, 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. Upon consummation of the offering, 8.84% of the carrying value of the net assets of the Predecessor was allocated to the minority interest. As of September 30, 2004, the Operating Partnership had 2,730,050 OP units outstanding.
12. | MEMBER UNITS GRANTED TO EMPLOYEES |
During April, 2004, the Predecessor granted 4,019,837 Class A Units, valued at $0.30/unit, to certain employees, resulting in a compensation charge of $1,205.
13. | EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION |
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company has elected to apply the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25) and related interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation plans. Accordingly, the Company does not recognize compensation expense for stock options when the stock option price at the grant date is equal to or greater than the fair market value of the stock at that date.
The following illustrates the pro forma effect on net loss and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 (in thousands, except for earnings per share information):

Under the terms of the Companys stock option plan, the exercise price of an option shall be determined by the Compensation Committee and reflected in the applicable award agreement. The exercise price with respect to incentive stock options may not be lower than 100% (110% in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a 10% stockholder, if permitted under the plan) of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Each option will be exercisable after the period or periods specified in the award agreement, which will generally not exceed 10 years from the date of grant (or five years in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a 10% stockholder, if permitted under the plan). Options will be exercisable at such times and subject to such terms as determined by the Compensation Committee, but under no circumstances may be exercised if such exercise would cause a violation of the ownership limit in the Companys charter. Unless otherwise determined by the

The Company and the Predecessor have guaranteed one mortgage loan held by an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Predecessor has a non-controlling ownership interest. This guarantee was entered into prior to January 1, 2003. At September 30, 2004, the total amount of mortgage debt relating to this joint venture was $7,876. This mortgage loan matures November 20, 2004. If the joint venture defaulted on the loan, the Company may be forced to repay the loan. The Company could be reimbursed by repossessing and/or selling the self-storage facility and land that collateralizes the loan. The estimated fair market value of the encumbered assets at September 30, 2004 is $15,000. The Company and the Predecessor had recorded no liability in relation to this guarantee as of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003. To date the joint venture has not defaulted on its mortgage debt. The Company believes the risk of having to perform on the guarantee is remote.

· | the delay in building or reduction of size of new developments due to zoning and permitting requirements outside of our control |
· | increased competition for desirable sites |
· | construction delays due to weather, unforeseen site conditions, labor shortages, personnel turnover, scheduling problems with contractors, subcontractors or suppliers |
· | increases in the cost of labor, taxes, marketing and other operating and construction expenses |
· | changes in tax laws impacting the taxability of operating and construction expenses |
· | changes in tax laws impacting the taxability of future income |
· | increases in interest rates increasing the cost of refinancing long term debt |
· | impairment of alternatives for funding our business plan due to economic uncertainty in light of the impact of war or terrorism. |
· | legislation or changes in regulations or interpretations regarding certain accounting standards applied to our operations and certain of our existing financial and joint venture structures. |
Forward-looking statements are based on estimates as of the date of this report. 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.
All amounts in the following discussion are in thousands except per share and storage unit data, or as indicated otherwise.
ORGANIZATION AND OVERVIEW
On August 17, 2004, the Company closed its initial public offering, pursuant to which it sold 20,200,000 shares of common stock, with proceeds to the Company of approximately $234,825, net of issuance costs of $17,675. As part of the offering, the Company granted the underwriters the right to purchase up to 3,030,000 additional shares within thirty days after the offering to cover any over-allotments. On September 1, 2004, the underwriters exercised their right and purchased an additional 3,030,000 shares of stock with proceeds to the Company of approximately $35,224, net of issuance costs of $2,651. The Company also paid additional issuance costs of $5,574. The formation transactions outlined in the offering prospectus have been completed as described in various 8-K filings.
In connection with the initial public 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 CCSs and 200,046 CCUs and $18.9 million in cash. As a result of this exchange, the Predecessor became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
23
Extra Space Storage LP (the Operating Partnership), which is a subsidiary of ESSI. The transaction did not result in a change in the carrying value of the Predecessors assets and liabilities because the exchange was accounted for at historical cost as a transfer of assets between companies under common control.
The Company is an integrated, self-administered and self-managed Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) formed to continue the business of the Predecessor to own, operate, acquire, develop and redevelop professionally managed self-storage properties.
As a result of the formation transactions of the initial public offering, as well as the timing of the offering itself, we do not believe that the results of operations discussion of the Company and the Predecessor set forth in this document is necessarily indicative of our future operating results as a publicly-held REIT. The information provided only reflects the operations of the Company and the Predecessor for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003.
In the Results of Operations discussion below, the Company has (i) combined the historical results of operations for the Predecessor for the period from January 1, 2004 through August 16, 2004 with the historical results of operations for the Company for the period from August 17, 2004 through September 30, 2004 in discussing the historical results of the operations for the Company for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004 and has (ii) combined the historical results of operations for the Predecessor for the period from July 1, 2004 through August 16, 2004 with the historical results of operations for the Company for the period from August 17, 2004 through September 30, 2004 in discussing the historical results of the operations for the Company for the three months period ended September 30, 2004. Comparisons to the respective prior periods are to the historical results of operations of the Predecessor.
We continue to evaluate a range of new growth initiatives and opportunities for the Company to enable us to maximize shareholder value. These include the acquisition and development of self-storage properties and maximizing the performance of our existing self-storage properties through efficient operational management of our properties.
We derive substantially all of our revenues from rents received from tenants under existing leases on each of our self-storage properties. We experience minor seasonal fluctuations in occupancy levels, with occupancy levels generally higher in the summer months due to increased moving activity. Our operating results therefore depend materially on our ability to lease available self-storage space and on the ability of our tenants to make required rental payments. We believe we are able to respond more quickly and effectively to changes in local, regional and national economic conditions by adjusting rental rates through use of STORE, the operating management software that we employ at our storage facilities.
24
PROPERTIES
As of September 30, 2004, we own and operate 136 properties located in 20 states, of which 118 are wholly-owned and 18 are held in joint ventures with third parties. As of September 30, 2004, our properties contain an aggregate of approximately 8.9 million net rentable square feet of space configured in approximately 84,800 separate storage units. We consider a property to be in the lease-up stage after it has been issued a certificate of occupancy but before it has achieved stabilization. We consider a property to be stabilized once it either has achieved an 85% occupancy rate, or has been open for four years.
The following table sets forth additional information regarding the occupancy of our stabilized properties by state as of September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003
Overview
Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 include the operations of 142 properties (124 of which were consolidated and 18 of which were in joint ventures historically accounted for using the equity method) compared to the results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, which include the operations of 94 properties (57 of which were consolidated and 37 of which were in joint ventures historically accounted for using the equity method). Results for both periods also included equity in earnings of real estate ventures, third-party management fees, acquisition fees and development fees.
Results for the periods ending September 30, 2004 include the operating results of six properties in which the Company does not own any interest. These six properties were consolidated as a result of guarantees and/or puts for which the Company was liable. Five of the six properties were deconsolidated on August 16, 2004 upon release of all guarantees and puts. The Company will continue to consolidate one property until a loan guarantee is released. We anticipate that this guarantee will be released in the fourth quarter of 2004.
26
Total Revenues
Total revenues increased $9,034, or 98.9%, and $16,340, or 61.2%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $9,115 and $16,496, respectively, in property rental revenues.
Property rental revenues (including merchandise sales, insurance administrative fees and late fees) increased by $9,115, or 108.2% and $16,496 or 68.6%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2004, the increase in property rental revenues resulted primarily from the acquisition of 31 stabilized properties during the period as well as the continued occupancy gains of our lease-up properties and rental increases from existing customers. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the increase in property rental revenues resulted primarily from the acquisition of a total of 62 stabilized properties (31 properties acquired during the first six months of the year) as well as the continued occupancy gains of our lease-up properties and rental increases from existing customers.
Management fees represent 6.0% of cash collected from the management of properties owned by third parties and unconsolidated joint ventures. Management fees decreased by $136, or 27.8% and $193, or 12.7%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. The decrease in management fees was primarily due to a decrease in third party and joint venture properties managed, due to the acquisition of these properties by the Company and the Predecessor.
Acquisition fees and development fees increased by $210, or 525.0% and $93, or 16.7%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. The increase in acquisition and development fees was primarily due to an increase in joint venture development activity.
Other income decreased by $155, or 84.2% and $56, or 10.1%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. The decrease in other income from 2003 to 2004 results primarily from a decrease in interest received from Centershift on the note receivable.
Total Expenses
Total expenses increased $6,731, or 83.3%, and $14,893, or 65.0%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. This increase was in large part due to an increase of $3,191 and $6,201, respectively, in property operating expenses, an increase of $993 and $3,279, respectively, in general and administrative expenses, and an increase of $3,369 and $6,237 respectively in depreciation and amortization, offset by a decrease of $822 and $824 respectively in unrecovered development/acquisition costs and support payments.
Property Operating Expenses
Property operating expenses increased $3,191, or 87.3%, and $6,201, or 56.7%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2004, the increase in property operating expenses came primarily from the acquisition of 31 stabilized properties during the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the increase in property operating expenses came primarily from the acquisition of a total of 62 stabilized properties (31 properties acquired during the first six months of the year). The increase in property operating expenses also results from increased operating costs such as payroll, utilities, office expenses and repairs and maintenance. In addition, certain properties have experienced reassessments resulting in increased property taxes. For the
27
nine months ended September 30, 2004, advertising and marketing expenses showed a slight increase due to increases in yellow page advertising.
Unrecovered Development/Acquisition Costs and Support Payments
Unrecovered development costs decreased $822, or 100.0%, and $824, or 54.6%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. The decrease in unrecovered development costs was due to the write-off of costs relating to budget overruns being expensed in 2003. These expenses relate to properties being developed for ESW.
General and Other Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased $993, or 52.0%, and $3,279, or 55.9%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. This increase is primarily due to an increase in payroll expenses resulting from a $1,205 non cash charge due to the grant of Class A units by the Predecessor in the second quarter and a decrease in development expenses capitalized in 2004 compared to 2003.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased $3,369, or 200.0%, and $6,237, or 136.0%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2004, the increase came primarily from the acquisition of 31 stabilized properties during the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the increase resulted primarily from the acquisition of a total of 62 stabilized properties (31 properties acquired during the first six months of the year). In addition, four new lease-up properties were completed during the nine month period ended September 30, 2004.
Interest Expense and Loss on Debt Extinguishments
Interest expense and loss on debt extinguishments increased $5,989, or 127.3%, and $11,989, or 89.0%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2004, the increase in interest expense resulted primarily from the acquisition of 31 stabilized properties during the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the increase in interest expense resulted primarily from the acquisition of a total of 62 stabilized properties (31 properties acquired during the first six months of the year). In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2004, $2,723 was paid for the defeasance of two CMBS loans and $700 of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with refinanced borrowings were paid, which amounts are included in interest expense.
Minority Interest-Fidelity Preferred Return
Minority interest-Fidelity preferred return decreased $122, or 11.8%, and $66, or 2.2%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. The difference was primarily due to the acquisition of this interest on September 9, 2004 for $21,530.
Loss Allocated to Operating Partnership
Loss allocated to Operating Partnership totaled $213 or 100.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively.
28
Loss Allocated to Other Minority Interests
Loss allocated to other minority interests increased $180, or 39.7%, and $1,168, or 117.3%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. This increase was due primarily to additional losses being allocated to the minority interests held by Equibase Mini Warehouse joint ventures in 2004.
Equity in Earnings of Real Estate Ventures
Equity in earnings of real estate ventures decreased $14, or 3.3%, and $192, or 14.9%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to the Predecessor purchasing its joint venture partners interest in 20 self storage facilities and these facilities being subsequently consolidated.
Gain on the Sale of Real Estate Assets
We sold one self-storage property for a gain of $672 in the second quarter of 2003, and sold one self-storage property for a loss of $171 in the first quarter of 2004. We sold our interest in one self-storage property for a gain of $1,920 in the third quarter of 2004.
SAME-STORE STABILIZED PROPERTY RESULTS FOR THE COMPANY AND THE PREDECESSOR
We consider our same-store stabilized portfolio to consist of only those properties owned by us 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. The following table sets forth operating data for our same-store portfolio for the Predecessors same store portfolio periods presented. We consider the following same-store presentation to be meaningful in regards to the 31 properties shown below. These results provide information relating to property-level operating changes without the effects of acquisitions or completed developments. As we progress, we 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 future same-store performance.

Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 to the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003
Same-Store Rental Revenues. Total revenue for the 31 same-store stabilized property portfolio increased $161, or 2.9%, and $539, or 3.3%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. This increase was due to increased rental rates from existing customers, especially in the
29
properties located in the southern California and New Jersey markets. The increase can also be explained by our ability to control discounts on a year-on-year basis. Discount control is executed utilizing the technology of STORE, which allows discounting parameters to be set on a unit-by-unit basis. The lower level of discounting, however, was not seen in all markets due to increased discounting by competitors and the need to match those discounts to gain new rental growth.
Same-Store Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the 31 same-store stabilized property portfolio increased $108, or 6.0%, and $26, or 0.5%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. The slight increase was due to increases in wind insurance on our Florida properties. Other operating expenses remained relatively flat in comparison to the previous year in most categories.
CASH FLOWS
Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003
Cash used in operating activities was ($15,200) during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to cash used in operating activities of ($5,095) during the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The increase in cash used was primarily due to additional lease-up properties being added to the portfolio, and the need to fund the operations of these properties.
Cash used in investing activities was ($236,112) and ($47,270) for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This increase is primarily the result of the acquisitions of real estate assets.
Cash provided by financing activities was $271,572 and $46,871 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The 2004 financing activities consisted primarily of net proceeds from share issuances of $264,475, additional borrowings of $376,343, including borrowings to fund the purchase of 62 stabilized properties, and the development of existing projects, offset by the repayment of $305,931 of borrowings. The 2003 financing activities consisted primarily of additional borrowings of $87,828 offset by the repayment of $54,135 of borrowings.
REVENUE OUTLOOK
The first nine months of 2004 has signaled a gradual return to increased revenues and occupancy for many operators. This was also true for the Company and the Predecessor during the third quarter, as illustrated by year-on-year same-store revenue growth.
The Company, through proactive management and usage of technology at our facilities, seeks to maximize revenue, while at the same time retaining occupancy. We experienced flat move-in activity as compared to 2003, while move-out activity was slightly lower, occupancies were therefore up slightly on a year-on-year basis. The Company also experienced slightly higher rental rates to new customers.
California and New Jersey were the strongest regions in terms of revenue growth for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, while Massachusetts was the weakest.
Discounting, though lower on a same-store portfolio comparison from 2003, remains a factor for the Company as high levels of discounting and aggressive pricing by certain competitors continued well into
30
the third quarter of 2004. Competitors prevented us from growing revenue and controlling discounts in some markets.
Although the industry continues to face challenges, recent improvements in economic conditions and changes in industry dynamics, especially the usage of technology and utilization of real-time pricing and promotions, will continue to provide the ability for operators to grow revenues by increasing rents from existing tenants and by adding new tenants to properties at increased price levels. We are optimistic and anticipate continued improvement in the operating climate for self-storage, particularly for well-located, highly-visible, and efficiently managed self-storage properties. We will continue to enhance operational processes and implement technology solutions that will enable us to grow same-store revenues consistently over time.
EXPENSE OUTLOOK
Operating expenses increased modestly for the period ending September 30, 2004 primarily in the areas of credit card merchant fees, property taxes, and insurance. With the exception of property taxes, the Company feels these expenses are controllable and should be brought in line with prior years through proactive management. The increase in credit card merchant fees are both a positive and a negative, as it signifies customers placing their monthly rental purchases on an auto-pay format which eliminates manual processes for our site personnel.
We believe that our insurance costs are controllable to an extent, and we are hopeful that they will decrease in the future through continued refinement of our insurance and risk management processes. We also have incurred no material loss from the hurricanes that impacted the southeastern United States during the third quarter.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of September 30, 2004, the Company had approximately $32 million available in cash and cash equivalents. Going forward, the Company will be required to distribute at least 90% of our net taxable income, excluding net capital gains, to its stockholders on an annual basis due to maintain its qualification as a REIT. Therefore, as a general matter, 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.
Following our initial public offering, as part of the formation transactions, we entered into a $100 million credit facility and as of September 30, 2004 had a total of approximately $454 million of debt, producing a debt to total market capitalization of approximately 50%. Currently, total fixed rate debt to total debt is approximately 76%. The weighted average interest rate of the total of fixed and variable rate debt is approximately 4.59%.
On September 9, 2004, the Company, as guarantor, and its Operating Partnership entered into a $100 million revolving line of credit, which includes a $10 million swingline subfacility (the Credit Facility). The Credit Facility is initially collateralized by 16 self-storage properties. The Operating Partnership intends to use the proceeds of the Credit Facility for general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2004, the Credit Facility has approximately $56 million of availability based on the assets collateralizing the Credit Facility.
31
On October 4, 2004, the Company entered into a reverse interest rate swap with U.S. Bank National Association, relating to the Companys existing $61,770 fixed rate mortgage due 2009 with Wachovia Bank. Pursuant to the Swap Agreement, the Company will receive fixed interest payments of 4.30% and pay variable interest payments based on the one-month LIBOR plus .0655% on a notional amount of $61,770,000. There were no origination fees or other significant up front costs incurred by the Company or any of its subsidiaries in connection with the Swap Agreement.
The Company expects to fund our short-term liquidity requirements, including operating expenses, recurring capital expenditures, dividends to our stockholders, distributions to holders of OP units and interest on its outstanding indebtedness out of its operating cash flow, cash on hand and from borrowings under its Credit Facility.
The Companys long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of new facility development, property acquisitions, principal payments under our 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.
Long-Term Liquidity Needs
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of distributions to our stockholders, new facility development, property acquisitions, principal payments under our secured credit facilities and non-recurring capital expenditures.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Management of the Company has prepared the consolidated financial statements of the Predecessor and will prepare the consolidated financial statements for the Company in accordance with GAAP which require us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the recorded amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates. We have summarized below those accounting policies that require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments and that have the most significant impact on our financial condition and results of operations. Our management evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis. These estimates are based on information currently available to management and on various other assumptions management believes are reasonable as of the date of this quarterly report.
| Acquisitions of real estate and intangible assets. When we acquire real estate properties, we allocate the components of the acquisition price using relative fair values determined based on certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions impact the allocation of costs between land and different categories of land improvements as well as the amount of costs assigned to individual properties in multiple property acquisitions. These allocations impact the amount of |
32
depreciation expense and gains and losses recorded on future sales of self-storage properties, and therefore the net income or loss we report. |
We determine the fair value of the real estate we acquire, including land, land improvements and buildings, by valuing the real estate at the purchase price less any intangible assets. We then allocate this fair value to land, land improvements and buildings based on our determination of the relative fair values of these assets.
We determine the fair value of the intangible assets we acquire in accordance with purchase accounting for acquisitions by considering the value of in-place leases and the value of tenant relationships. We do not place a value on the in-place leases due to the month-to-month terms of the leases. We value tenant relationships as two months projected rent (end of month rent roll), based on the stable nature of rentals and vacates in our self-storage properties and the minimal amount of time and effort required to replace an existing tenant.
| Useful lives of assets and amortization methods. We determine the useful lives of our real estate assets (generally 39 years) based on historical and industry experience with the lives of those particular assets and experience with the timing of significant repairs and replacement of those assets. |
We have estimated the useful life of tenant relationships to be approximately 18 months based on our experience with the period of time a tenant stays in our facility.
| Impairment of real estate. We recognize an impairment loss on a real estate asset to be held and used in our operations if the assets undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than its depreciated cost whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the real estate asset may not be recoverable. We compute a real estate assets undiscounted expected future cash flow using certain estimates and assumptions. We calculate the impairment loss as the difference between the assets fair market value and its carrying value. |
| Impairment of intangible assets. We combine our intangible assets, which consist primarily of lease and customer intangibles with a definite life, with the related tangible assets (primarily consisting of real estate assets) at the lowest level for which cash flows are readily identifiable. |
Whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group is not recoverable, the asset group is tested for recoverability. If the asset group is not recoverable from the undiscounted cash flows attributable to that asset group, an impairment loss is recognized as the difference between the carrying value of the asset group and the estimated fair value of the asset group.
| Investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures. We evaluate each of our real estate ventures to determine whether it is a variable interest entity under the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51 (revised December 2003) which we refer to as FIN 46R. We will consolidate the variable interest entity for which we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary under FIN 46R. We account for our investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures under the equity method of accounting, as we exercise significant influence over, but do not control, these entities under the provisions of the entities governing agreements. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as investments in real estate ventures, and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions. |
33
| Derivatives. We manage our exposure to interest rate risk through the use of cash flow hedges and recognize in earnings the ineffective portion of gains or losses associated with cash flow hedges immediately. We obtain values for the interest rate caps from financial institutions that market these instruments. |
| Allowance for doubtful accounts. We have not recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts. Substantially all of our receivables are comprised of rent due from our tenants. Historically, we have not experienced significant losses on our tenants receivables. However, collection of future receivables cannot be assured. |
| Stock based compensation. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company has elected to apply the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25) and related interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation plans. Accordingly, the Company does not recognize compensation expense for stock options when the stock option price at the grant date is equal to or greater than the fair market value of the stock at that date. |
FINANCING STRATEGY
We will continue to employ leverage in our capital structure in amounts determined from time to time by our board of directors. Although our board of directors has not adopted a policy which limits the total amount of indebtedness that we may incur, it will consider a number of factors in evaluating our 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 Board will consider factors including but not limited to:
| the interest rate of the proposed financing; |
| the extent to which the financing impacts our flexibility in managing our properties; |
| prepayment penalties and restrictions on refinancing; |
| the purchase price of properties we acquire with debt financing; |
| long-term objectives with respect to the financing; |
| target investment returns; |
| the ability of particular properties, and our company as a whole, to generate cash flow 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 market capitalization and debt to undepreciated assets; and |
| the overall ratio of fixed- and variable-rate debt. |
Our 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, we may invest in properties subject to existing loans collateralized by mortgages or similar liens on our properties, or may refinance properties acquired on a leveraged basis. We 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 we believe it is advisable.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Except as disclosed in note 16 of the Companys financial statements, the Company does not currently have and have never had 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, the Predecessor has not guaranteed any obligations of unconsolidated entities nor do we have any commitment or intent to provide funding to any such entities. Accordingly, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in these relationships.
SEASONALITY
The self-storage business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. A greater portion of our revenues and profits are realized from May through September. Historically, the Predecessors 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.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Based on the Companys review of recent accounting pronouncements released during the quarter ended September 30, 2004, we have not identified any standard requiring adoption that would have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements for the periods presented.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates.
As of September 30, 2004, the Company had $454 million in total debt of which $107 million is subject to variable interest rates. If LIBOR were to increase by 100 basis points, the increase in interest expense on the variable rate debt would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $1.1 million annually.
On a proforma basis after the reverse interest rate swap, the Companys variable rate debt increased by $61.8 million. Based on the proforma variable rate debt of $168.8 million, a 100 basis point increase in LIBOR would result in a decrease in future earnings and cash flows by approximately $1.69 million annually.
Interest risk amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. Further, in the event of a change of that magnitude, we may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in our financial structure.
35
The fair value of the Predecessors debt outstanding as of September 30, 2004 was approximately $454 million.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Companys Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, based on the evaluation of the Companys 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) required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15, as of September 30, 2004, have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures of the Predecessor and the Company were effective to ensure the timely collection, evaluation and disclosure of information relating to the Predecessor and the Company that would potentially be subject to disclosure under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated there under.
During the three-month period ended September 30, 2004, there was no change in the Companys or the Predecessors internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Predecessors or Companys internal control over financial reporting.
36
ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
We are party to various legal actions resulting from our operating activities. These actions are routine litigation and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are covered by liability insurance, and none of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows taken as a whole.
ITEM 2. | UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS |
(a) Not applicable.
(b) In connection with ESSIs initial public offering, the former holders of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class E membership interests in the Predecessor pursuant to contribution and related agreements, contributed these membership interests to the Company and/or the Operating Partnership in exchange for an aggregate of 7,939,950 shares of ESSIs common stock, 1,608,437 OP Units 3,888,843 CCSs issued by us and/or 200,046 CCUs issued by the Operating Partnership.
