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) is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (REIT), formed as a Maryland corporation on April 30, 2004 to own, operate, manage, acquire and develop self-storage facilities located throughout the United States. The Company continues the business of Extra Space Storage LLC and its subsidiaries (the Predecessor), which had engaged in the self-storage business since 1977. The Companys interest in its properties is held through its operating partnership, Extra Space Storage LP (the Operating Partnership), which was formed on May 5, 2004. The Companys primary assets are general partner and limited partner interests in the Operating Partnership. This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT. The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. To the extent the Company continues to qualify as a REIT, it will not be subject to tax, with certain limited exceptions, on the taxable income that is distributed to its stockholders.
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 March 31, 2006, the Company had direct and indirect equity interests in 553 storage facilities located in 34 states, and 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 activities include rental operations of self-storage facilities. No single tenant accounts for more than 5% of rental income.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and in accordance 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. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2006. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2005, has been derived from the Companys audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), ShareBased Payment, (SFAS 123R), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123R supersedes SFAS No. 123, Accounting for StockBased Compensation and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25). The Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective application method of adoption which requires the Company to record compensation cost related to non-vested stock awards as of December 31, 2005 by recognizing the unamortized grant date fair value of these awards over their remaining service period with no change in historical reported earnings. Awards granted after December 31, 2005 are valued at fair value in accordance with provisions of SFAS 123R and recognized on a straight line basis over the service periods of each award. The Company estimated forfeiture rates for the three months ended March 31, 2006 based on historical forfeitures from guideline companies since the Company does not have sufficient history as a publicly traded company.
Prior to 2006, the Company accounted for stockbased compensation in accordance with APB 25 using the intrinsic value method, which did not require that compensation cost be recognized for the Companys stock options provided the option exercise price was established at 100% of the common stock fair value market on the date of grant. Under APB 25, the Company was required to record expense over the vesting period for the value of restricted common stock granted. Prior
8
to 2006, the Company provided pro forma disclosure amounts in accordance with SFAS No. 148, Accounting for StockBased Compensation Transition and Disclosure (SFAS 148), as if the fair value method defined by SFAS 123 had been applied to its stockbased compensation. The Companys net loss and net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2005 would have been greater if compensation cost related to stock options had been recorded in the financial statements based on fair value at the grant dates.
Options
The Company has the following two stock options plans under which shares are available for grant at March 31, 2006: the 2004 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, and the 2004 Non-Employee Directors Share Plan. Under the terms of the plans, the exercise price of an option shall be determined by the Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee and reflected in the applicable award agreement. Each option becomes exercisable after the period or periods specified in the award agreement, which generally do 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 plans). Options are exercisable at such times and subject to such terms as determined by the Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee, but under no circumstances may an option be exercised if such exercise would cause a violation of the ownership limit in the Companys charter. Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee at the time of grant, such stock options shall vest ratably over a four-year period beginning on the date of grant. The Company recorded $200 of compensation expense relating to outstanding options during the three months ended March 31, 2006. No compensation expense was recorded related to outstanding options during the three months ended March 31, 2005.
The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model:

The Black-Scholes model incorporates assumptions to value stockbased awards. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the estimated life of the option. The Company uses guideline companies to estimate the expected price volatility and average expected term. These amounts are not materially different from the Companys historical data on valuation and exercise timing.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total value (the difference between the Companys closing stock price on the last trading day of the first quarter of 2006 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of inthemoney options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on March 31, 2006. The amount of aggregate intrinsic value will change based on the fair market value of the Companys stock.

The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was $97 and $0, respectively. Exercise of options during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 resulted in cash receipts of $91 and $0, respectively.
Non-vested Common Stock
During July 2005, the Company granted 190,000 shares of non-vested common stock to certain employees, without consideration under the Companys 2004 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan. 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 lapse over a three to four year period beginning on the date of grant. The Company did not grant shares of non-vested common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2005. The Company recorded approximately $186 and $0 of compensation expense related to outstanding shares of non-vested common stock held by employees during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The fair value of non-vested common stock awards is determined based on the closing trading price of the Companys common stock on the grant date. There were no non-vested shares granted during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. A summary of the Companys non-vested shares activity for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was as follows:

At March 31, 2006, there was $2,188 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested shares granted to employees under the Companys 2004 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.9 years. The valuation model applied in this calculation utilizes subjective assumptions that could potentially change over time, including the expected forfeiture rate. Therefore the amount of unrecognized compensation expense at March 31, 2006 noted above does not necessarily represent the expense that will ultimately be realized by the Company in the Statement of Operations. There were no shares that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2006. Unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested shares of restricted common stock awards granted to employees was recorded as deferred compensation in stockholders equity at December 31, 2005. As part of the adoption of SFAS 123R, $2,374 of unrecognized compensation expense was reclassified as a component of paid-in capital.
Summary
As a result of adopting SFAS 123R, the net income set forth in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006, was $200 lower than if the Company had continued to account for stockbased compensation under APB 25. Pro forma net loss as if the fair value based method had been applied to all awards for the three months ended March 31, 2005 is as follows:

4. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average common shares outstanding, less non-vested restricted stock. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share measures the performance of the Company over the reporting period while giving effect to all potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding during the period. The denominator includes the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares that were dilutive had been issued and is calculated using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares are securities (such as options, warrants, convertible debt, and convertible Operating Partnership units) that do not have a current right to participate in earnings but could do so in the future by virtue of their option or conversion right. In computing the dilutive effect of convertible securities, net income or loss is adjusted to add back any changes in earnings (loss) in the period associated with the convertible security. The numerator also is adjusted for the effects of any other non-discretionary changes in income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion of those potential common shares. In computing diluted earnings (loss) per share, only potential common shares that are dilutive, those that reduce earnings per share, are included. Since the Company generated a loss for the three months ended March 31, 2005, the impact of inclusion of the potential conversion of securities into common shares is anti-dilutive and therefore diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share. Excluded from the computation of diluted common shares outstanding at March 31, 2005 are 1,647,500 stock options and 2,730,050 convertible Operating Partnership units.

8. NOTES RECEIVABLE
In July 2005, the Company along with joint-venture partner Prudential Real Estate Investors acquired Storage USA from GE Commercial Finance for approximately $2.3 million in cash. Notes receivable relate to construction advances Storage USA had offered to certain franchisees. 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 bear interest based on a spread over the prime interest rate of 0.5% to 1.0%. Typically, advances represented 70%- 90% of the anticipated cost of the project.
Management periodically assesses historical payment history, payment status, prevailing economic and business conditions, specific loan terms and other relevant factors to determine whether any notes receivable should be placed on non-accrual status or otherwise adjusted for impairment. At March 31, 2006, none of the notes receivable were considered impaired.

Real estate assets are pledged as collateral for the notes payable. The Company is subject to certain restrictive covenants relating to the outstanding notes payable. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2006.
In October 2004, the Company entered into a reverse interest rate swap agreement (Swap Agreement) to float $61,770 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 is a fair value hedge, as defined by SFAS No. 133, 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 variable interest payments are recognized as an increase or decrease in interest expense.
The estimated fair value of the Swap Agreement at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was reflected as an other liability of $2,725 and $2,151, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, interest expense has been increased by $96 and reduced by $164, respectively, as a result of the Swap Agreement.
12. NOTES PAYABLE TO TRUSTS
During July 2005, ESS Statutory Trust III (the Trust III), a newly formed Delaware statutory trust and a wholly-owned, unconsolidated subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, issued an aggregate of $40.0 million of preferred securities which mature on July 31, 2035.

Note 3 has a fixed rate of 6.91% through July 31, 2010, and then will be payable at a variable rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 2.40% per annum. The interest on Note 3, payable quarterly, will be used by the Trust III to pay dividends on the trust preferred securities. The trust preferred securities may be redeemed by the Trust III with no prepayment premium after July 27, 2010.
During May 2005, ESS Statutory Trust II (the Trust II), a newly formed Delaware statutory trust and a wholly-owned, unconsolidated subsidiary of the Operating Partnership of the Company, issued an aggregate of $41.0 million of preferred
14
securities which mature on June 30, 2035. In addition, the Trust II issued 1,269 of Trust II common securities to the Operating Partnership for a purchase price of $1.3 million.

Note 2 has a fixed rate of 6.67% through June 30, 2010, and then will be payable at a variable rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 2.40% per annum. The interest on Note 2, payable quarterly, will be used by the Trust II to pay dividends on the trust preferred securities. The trust preferred securities may be redeemed by the Trust II with no prepayment premium after June 30, 2010.
During April 2005, ESS Statutory Trust I (the Trust), a newly formed Delaware statutory trust and a wholly-owned, unconsolidated subsidiary of the Operating Partnership of the Company issued an aggregate of $35.0 million of trust preferred securities which mature on June 30, 2035. In addition, the Trust issued 1,083 of Trust common securities to the Operating Partnership for a purchase price of $1.1 million.

The trust preferred securities may be redeemed by the Trust with no prepayment premium after June 30, 2010.
The Company follows FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46R), which addresses the consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs). Under FIN 46R, Trust, Trust II and Trust III are VIEs that are not consolidated because the Company is not the primary beneficiary. A debt obligation has been recorded in the form of notes as discussed above for the proceeds, which are owed to the Trust, the Trust II, and the Trust III by the Company.

Other receivables from properties consist of amounts due for expenses paid on behalf of the properties that the Company manages and management fees. Receivables from Prudential relating to the Storage USA acquisition represents amounts receivable from Prudential for general and administrative expenses, severance paid, and lease expenses paid relating to the Storage USA acquisition. The Company believes that all of these related party receivables are fully collectible. The Company does not have any payables to related parties at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
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, through ESS Holding Business Trust II, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is also a limited partner of the Operating Partnership. Between its general partner and limited partner interests, the Company holds a 93.12% majority ownership interest therein as of March 31, 2006. The remaining ownership interests in the Operating Partnership of 6.88% are held by certain former owners of assets acquired by the Operating Partnership, which include a director and officers of the Company.
The minority interest in the Operating Partnership represents Operating Partnership 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 in the form of either Operating Partnership units or Contingent Conversion Units (CCU). Limited partners who received Operating Partnership units in the formation transactions have the right to require the Operating Partnership to redeem part or all of their Operating Partnership units for cash based upon the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of the Companys common stock at the time of the redemption. Alternatively, the Company may, at its option, elect to acquire those Operating Partnership units in exchange for shares of its common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to anti-dilution adjustments provided in the Operating Partnership agreement.
During July 2005 the Operating Partnership issued 1,470,149 Operating Partnership units valued at $21.6 million in conjunction with the acquisition of Storage USA. During September 2005 and November 2005, 350,000 and 50,000 Operating Partnership units were redeemed in exchange for common stock, respectively. As of March 31, 2006, the Operating Partnership had 3,825,787 and 200,046 shares of Operating Partnership units and CCUs outstanding, respectively.
Unlike the Operating Partnership 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 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
17
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. As of March 31, 2006, there were no CCUs converted to common stock as the 14 early-stage lease-up properties did not achieve the performance thresholds.
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
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 Contingent Conversion Shares (CCS), $.01 par value per share, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. As of March 31, 2006, 51,775,816 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. All stockholders of the Companys common stock are entitled to receive dividends and to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.
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, 2008, such outstanding CCSs will be cancelled and restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2006, there were no CCSs converted to common stock as the 14 early-stage lease-up properties did not achieve the performance thresholds.
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.

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 10% equity interests. These guarantees were entered into in November 2004, July 2005 and August 2005, respectively. At
19
March 31, 2006, the total amount of guaranteed mortgage debt relating to these joint ventures was $14,443. 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 land that collateralize the loans could provide funds sufficient to reimburse the Company. The estimated fair market value of the encumbered assets at March 31, 2006 is $24,653. The Company has recorded no liability in relation to this guarantee as of March 31, 2006. The fair value of the guarantee is not material. To date, the joint ventures have not defaulted on their 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 March 31, 2006, 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 EVENTS
On May 4, 2006, the Company purchased one-self storage facility located in Dallas, Texas from a franchisee for approximately $14.7 million.
On May 1, 2006, the Company purchased one self-storage facility located in North Hollywood, California from Extra Space Development, which is owned by certain members of the Companys management team and a director, for cash of $12.5 million. This purchase price will be adjusted for final net asset pro-rations within 30 days of the date of the transaction. The independent members of the Companys board of directors approved this acquisition.
On April 12, 2006, the Company purchased its partners joint venture interest in five properties located in Kansas, Tennessee and Texas, and sold its joint venture interest in three properties located in Texas. As part of the transaction the Company paid cash of $3.0 million, settled franchise notes receivable of $10.3 million and assumed a note payable of $7.9 million. The final purchase price will be adjusted for final net asset pro-rations within 45 days from the date of the transaction. No gain or loss is expected on this transaction.
20. ACCOUNTING AND DISCLOSURE CHANGES
In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) released Issue No. 04-5, Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights (EITF 04-05). EITF 04-05 creates a framework for evaluating whether a general partner or a group of general partners controls a limited partnership and therefore should consolidate the partnership. EITF 04-05 states that the presumption of general partner control would be overcome only when the limited partners have certain specific rights as outlined in EITF 04-05. EITF 04-05 is effective immediately for all newly formed limited partnerships and for existing limited partnership agreements that are modified. EITF 04-05 is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

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, 2005. 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. Amounts are in thousands (except per share data and unless otherwise stated).
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Our notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 describe the significant accounting policies essential to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Preparation of our financial statements requires estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions which we have used are appropriate and correct based on information available at the time that they were made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect our 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, our 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 our judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result, but there are some areas in which our judgment in selecting among available alternatives would produce a materially different result. See the notes to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that contain additional information regarding our accounting policies and other disclosures.
OVERVIEW
We are a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust formed to continue the business commenced in 1977 by our predecessor companies to own, operate, acquire, develop and redevelop professionally managed self-storage properties. We derive a substantial portion of our revenues from rents received from tenants under existing leases on each of our self-storage properties. Additional revenue is derived from management and franchise fees from our joint venture and franchise properties. We operate in competitive markets where consumers have multiple self-storage properties from which to choose. Competition has and will continue to impact our results. We experience minor seasonal fluctuations in occupancy levels, with occupancy levels higher in the summer months due to increased rental 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 quickly and effectively to changes in local, regional and national economic conditions by centrally adjusting rental rates through our internal revenue management team by utilizing STORE, the operating management software employed at all of our owned and managed properties.
We continue to evaluate a range of new growth initiatives and opportunities in order to enable us to maximize stockholder value. These include:
Maximize the performance of properties through strategic, efficient and timely management. We plan to pursue revenue generating and expense minimizing opportunities in our operations. Our 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. Our scale allows greater ability to implement national, regional and local marketing programs which will drive more customers to our stores.
Focus on the acquisition of self-storage properties from franchisees and third parties. We have benefited greatly from the acquisition of existing properties. The acquisitions team will continue to aggressively pursue the acquisition of single properties and portfolios that we believe can provide short and long-term stockholder value.
21
Our acquisition of Storage USA has further bolstered our reputation as a reliable, ethical buyer which enhances our ability to negotiate and close non-brokered, private deals. In addition, our status as an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust (UPREIT) enables flexibility when structuring deals.
Develop new self-storage properties. We have several joint venture and wholly-owned development properties and will continue to develop new self-storage properties in our core markets. Our 2006 and 2007 development pipeline includes 19 of these projects. The construction of many of these properties has already begun.
Expand the Companys management business. We see the management business as a future development and acquisition pipeline. We are in the process of developing a strategic plan for this growth channel.
RECENT DEVELOPMENT
To expand its business, on July 14, 2005, the Company, through its subsidiary Extra Space Storage LLC (ESS LLC) and the Operating Partnership, closed the acquisition (the Transaction) of various entities that collectively comprise the Storage USA self-storage business pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the Agreement), dated May 5, 2005, between ESS LLC, the Operating Partnership, Security Capital Self Storage Incorporated, a Delaware corporation, PRISA Self Storage LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (PRISA), PRISA II Self Storage LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (PRISA II), PRISA III Self Storage LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (PRISA III), VRS Self Storage LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (VRS), WCOT Self Storage LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (WCOT), and the Prudential Insurance Company of America, a New Jersey corporation (together with its affiliates, Prudential).
In connection with the Transaction, the Company acquired 61 wholly-owned self storage properties, acquired Storage USA (SUSA) Partnership, L.P.s equity interest in joint ventures which collectively owned 78 properties and assumed the management of 60 franchises and third party owned properties. In addition, 259 of the self-storage properties were acquired in the Transaction by five separate limited liability companies owned by five subsidiaries of the Company (each, a Company Sub) and Prudential. The limited liability company agreements govern the rights and responsibilities of each such limited liability company. The Company also acquired $37.7 million of notes receivable due from franchisees.
PROPERTIES
As of March 31, 2006, we owned and operated 553 properties located in 34 states, and Washington, D.C. Of these properties, 198 are wholly owned and 355 are held in joint ventures with third parties. The properties owned and operated before the Storage USA acquisition are now operated under the registered Extra Space Storage brand name. We are currently implementing a re-branding program which will convert all of the Storage USA stores to the Extra Space Storage brand. As of March 31, 2006 we owned or had an ownership interest in approximately 40.1 million square feet of rentable space configured in approximately 375,000 individual self-storage units. Nearly 70% of the properties are clustered around the larger population centers of Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, St. Petersburg/Tampa, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. 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 us to reduce our operating costs through economies of scale. The Storage USA acquisition has given us increased scale in many core markets as well as a solid presence in many markets where we had no previous scale.
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 has achieved either an 80% occupancy rate or has been open for three years.
As of March 31, 2006, greater than 100,000 tenants were leasing storage units at our 198 wholly-owned properties, primarily on a month-to-month basis, providing the flexibility to increase rental rates over time as market conditions permit. Although leases are short-term in duration, the typical tenant tends to remain at our properties for an extended period of time. For properties that were stabilized as of March 31, 2006, the median length of stay was approximately 11 months.
The following table sets forth additional information regarding the occupancy of the stabilized properties on a state-by-state basis as of March 31, 2006 and 2005. The information as of March 31, 2005 is on a pro forma basis as though all the properties owned at March 31, 2006 were under the Companys control as of March 31, 2005.
