Item 2: Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

SUSA Partnership, L.P. (the "Partnership"),  a limited partnership controlled by
Storage USA, Inc. (the  "Company")  consummated  during the period July 23, 1997
through  September 3, 1997, the  acquisition of 9 self-storage  facilities  (the
"Acquired  Facilities").  The Acquired Facilities contain  approximately 544,253
square  feet,  are  located in 6 states  and were  purchased  for  approximately
$37,625,500 in aggregate consideration.

The  acquisition  of the Acquired  Facilities  was funded by cash generated from
operations,  the  issuance  of  units of  limited  partnership  interest  in the
Partnership,  the assumption of certain  mortgages  payable and borrowings under
the  Partnership's  lines of credit with The First  National Bank of Chicago and
First Tennessee Bank. Each of the Acquired  Facilities was used by the seller as
a self-storage  facility prior to its  acquisition by the  Partnership,  and the
Partnership  intends to continue  such use of all the Acquired  Facilities.  The
Partnership's  management determined the contract price of each facility through
arms-length  negotiations,  after taking into consideration such factors as: the
age and condition of the facility;  the projected  amount of maintenance  costs;
anticipated capital  improvements;  the facility's current revenues;  comparable
facilities  competing  in  the  applicable  market;   market  rental  rates  for
comparable  facilities;  the occupancy  rate of the facility;  and the estimated
amount of taxes, utility costs,  personnel costs, and other anticipated expenses
associated  with  the  facility.  Other  than  changes  in  these  factors,  the
Partnership,  after  reasonable  inquiry,  is not aware of any material  factors
relating to the properties that would cause the historical financial information
provided in item 7 not to be necessarily  indicative of future operating results
for the applicable facilities.

The following  provides certain additional  information  concerning the Acquired
Facilities:

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors
and Shareholders of
Storage USA, Inc.

                  We have  audited  the  accompanying  Historical  Summaries  of
Combined  Gross  Revenue  and  Direct   Operating   Expenses  (the   "Historical
Summaries")  for certain  self-storage  facilities  (the "Acquired  Facilities")
described in Note 1 to the Historical  Summaries for the year ended December 31,
1996. These Historical Summaries are the responsibility of the management of the
Acquired  Facilities.  Our  responsibility  is to  express  an  opinion on these
Historical Summaries based on our audits.

                  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally  accepted
auditing  standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the Historical  Summaries are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and  disclosures in the  Historical  Summaries.  An audit
also  includes  assessing the  accounting  principles  used and the  significant
estimates made by management,  as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the Historical Summaries.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

                  The  accompanying  Historical  Summaries were prepared for the
purposes of  complying  with the Rules and  Regulations  of the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission (for inclusion in the Form 8-K/A of SUSA Partnership,  L.P.)
as described in Note 1 to the Historical Summaries, and are not intended to be a
complete presentation of the Acquired Facilities' revenues and expenses.

                  In our opinion,  based on our audits, the Historical Summaries
referred to above present fairly, in all material  respects,  the combined gross
revenue  and  direct  operating  expenses  described  in Note 1 of the  Acquired
Facilities  for the year ended  December 31, 1996, in conformity  with generally
accepted accounting principles.

self-storage  facilities (the "Acquired Facilities") which have been acquired by
SUSA Partnership,  L.P. (the "Partnership") during the period from July 23, 1997
through September 3, 1997.

         The  Historical  Summaries  for the  Acquired  Facilities  with a total
acquisition  cost of  $37,896  have  been  prepared  pursuant  to the  Rules and
Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for real estate operations
acquired.  The  Historical  Summaries  are  not  representative  of  the  actual
operations  for the  periods  presented,  as certain  expenses  which may not be
comparable  to the expenses  expected to be incurred by the  Partnership  in the
future  operations  of the  Acquired  Facilities  have been  excluded.  Expenses
excluded consist of management fees,  interest,  depreciation and  amortization,
professional  fees and other indirect  costs not directly  related to the future
operations of the Acquired Facilities. Rental Income is recognized when due from
occupants. Expenses are recognized on the accrual basis.

2.  Interim Period

         The unaudited interim  historical  summary has been prepared on a basis
consistent with the audited  historical  summary.  In the opinion of management,
all adjustments  considered  necessary for a fair  presentation  are of a normal
recurring  nature and have been included.  Operating  results for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of future operating results.

               PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         The following  unaudited Pro Forma Combined  Condensed Balance Sheet as
of June 30, 1997, and the unaudited Pro Forma Combined  Condensed  Statements of
Operations  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1997,  and for the year  ended
December 31, 1996 have been prepared to reflect the  acquisition of the Acquired
Facilities  as  if  the  Acquired   Facilities  and  other  previously  reported
transactions  had been  consummated at the beginning of the  respective  periods
shown. The Pro Forma Combined  Condensed  Financial  Information is based on the
historical financial  statements included in the Partnership's  Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the  quarter  ended June 30,  1997 and the pro forma  financial
information set forth in the footnotes to the financial  statements  included in
the  Partnership's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31,
1996, and should be read in conjunction with those financial  statements and the
notes thereto. The Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet was prepared as if
the Acquired  Facilities were purchased on June 30, 1997. The Pro Forma Combined
Condensed  Statements of Operations were prepared as if the Acquired  Facilities
were purchased at the beginning of the respective periods reflected thereon. The
Combined Condensed Pro Forma Financial Information is not necessarily indicative
of the financial  position or results of operations  which  actually  would have
occurred if such  transactions had been consummated on the dates described,  nor
does it purport to represent  the  Partnership's  future  financial  position or
results of operations.
