 Item 2: Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

SUSA Partnership. L.P. (the "Company"), a limited partnership controlled by
Storage USA, Inc. (the "REIT"), consummated during the period October 29, 1997
through November 19, 1997, the acquisition of 37 self-storage facilities (the
"Acquired Facilities"). The Acquired Facilities contain approximately 1,996,000
square feet, are located in eight states and were purchased for approximately
$90,817,000 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, borrowings under the Company's lines of credit with The First
National Bank of Chicago and First Tennessee Bank and a bridge loan with First
National Bank of Chicago. Each of the Acquired Facilities was used by the seller
as a self-storage facility prior to its acquisition by the Company, and the
Company intends to continue such use of all the Acquired Facilities. The
Company'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 Company,
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:

Certain facilities acquired or under contract to be acquired identified in Item
2 of this Form 8-K/A are not included in the Historical Summaries of Combined
Gross Revenue and Direct Operating Expenses ("Historical Summaries"). These
facilities and other unaudited facilities acquired during the year do not
individually constitute acquisitions of a "significant amount of assets" as
defined under Item 2 of Form 8-K or Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X.

The audited Historical Summaries included in this Form 8-K/A when aggregated
with all other audited Historical Summaries for 1997, included in previous Forms
8-K, cover a mathematical majority of all individually insignificant 1997
acquisitions, which audited Historical Summaries satisfy the requirements of
Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X.

                        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 "Group 1 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
Group 1 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 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 Group 1 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 Group 1
Facilities for the year ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

         The Historical Summaries for the Group 1 Facilities with a total
acquisition cost of $92,679 have been prepared pursuant to the Rules and
Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for real estate operations
to be 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 Company in the future
operations of the Group 1 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 Group 1 Facilities. Rental income is recognized when due from
occupants. Expenses are recognized on the accrual basis.

2.  Interim Periods

         The unaudited interim Historical Summaries have been prepared on a
basis consistent with the audited Historical Summaries. 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 nine
months ended September 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 was
prepared as if the Acquired and the Acquisition Facilities were purchased on
September 30, 1997. The unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of
Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, and for the year ended
December 31, 1996 have been prepared to reflect the acquisition of the Group 1
and Group 2 Facilities as if the Group 1 and Group 2 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 Company's
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 and the
pro forma financial information set forth in the footnotes to the financial
statements included in the Company'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 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
Company's future financial position or results of operations.
