PS Business Parks, Inc. (PSB), through its operating partnership, PS Business Parks, L.P. (PSB and PS Business Parks, L.P. are collectively referred to as the Company), acquired a business park consisting of 53 buildings (including two pad sites) known as Miami International Commerce Center on December 30, 2003 at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $206 million (including closing costs). The property has approximately 3.35 million net rentable square feet, and was approximately 84% occupied upon acquisition. The portfolio consists of approximately 3.3 million square feet of multi-tenant industrial and flex space and approximately 60,000 square feet of retail space. The Company intends to continue to operate the property as a business park. None of the Company, its affiliates, officers or directors, or any associate of any such officer or director, has any material relationship with the seller, MICC Venture. The purchase price was established through arms length negotiations. The acquisition was funded with the Companys existing cash balances, borrowings of $95 million from its unsecured line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank and borrowings from an affiliate, Public Storage, Inc., of $100 million.

The Company has reviewed the expenses of Miami International Commerce Center, including salaries of on-site personnel, utilities, property taxes, supplies, insurance, and repairs and maintenance.

Revenue Recognition
The Miami International Commerce Center leases space to tenants for which they charge minimum rents and receive reimbursement for certain operating expenses.

Recoveries from tenants are recognized as income in the period the applicable costs are accrued. |
Certain Operating Expenses
Certain operating expenses include costs paid or incurred by the owners for maintaining, operating, and repairing the operating properties. This includes utilities, repairs and maintenance, and real estate taxes. |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the statements of certain revenues and certain operating expenses in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the statements of certain revenues and certain operating expenses and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Interim Statements
The interim financial data for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 is unaudited; however, in the opinion of the management of the Company, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period.

(PSB), through its operating partnership, PS Business Parks, L.P. (PSB and PS Business Parks, L.P. are collectively referred to as the Company).
The Company acquired a business park consisting of 53 buildings (including two pad sites), with 3.35 million net rentable square feet, known as Miami International Commerce Center on December 30, 2003 at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $206 million (including closing costs).

The results of operations are based on historical operating results.
The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and upon certain assumptions as set forth in the notes to the pro forma consolidated financial statements that the Company believes are reasonable in the circumstances. The pro forma consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Company and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (such as Form 8-Ks which reference property acquisitions) from time to time.
