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  January 9, 1998
through  January 23, 1998, the  acquisition of 6  self-storage  facilities  (the
"Acquired  Facilities").  The Acquired Facilities contain  approximately 344,000
square feet,  are located in four states and were  purchased  for  approximately
$19,098,500 in aggregate consideration.

The  acquisition  of the Acquired  Facilities  was funded by cash generated from
operations  and  borrowings  under the Company's  lines of credit with The First
National Bank of Chicago and First  Tennessee.  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:

                        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.

1.  Basis of Presentation
         The Historical Summaries of Combined Gross Revenue and Direct Operating
Expenses (the "Historical  Summaries")  relate to the operation of the following
self-storage facilities ("Acquired Facilities") which have been acquired by SUSA
Partnership, L.P. (the "Company").

                               Acquired Facilities
                               -------------------

Ridge, NY                    Huntingdon, PA              North Highlands, CA

(1) These properties were developed properties that opened in 1997.

         The  Historical  Summaries  for the  Acquired  Facilities  with a total
acquisition  cost of  $19,384  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 Company 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 Periods

         The unaudited interim Historical  Summaries for the Acquired Facilities
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 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 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  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.
