PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
--------
General
- -------
Public Storage Properties, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a publicly held
limited partnership formed under the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act
in November, 1976. The Partnership raised $10,000,000 in gross proceeds by
selling 20,000 units of limited partnership interest ("Units") in an interstate
offering, which commenced in October, 1977 and was completed in January, 1978.
The Partnership was formed to engage in the business of developing and operating
storage space for personal and business use ("mini-warehouses").
In 1995, there were a series of mergers among Public Storage Management,
Inc. (which was the Partnership's mini-warehouse operator), Public Storage, Inc.
(which was one of the Partnership's general partners) ("Old PSI") and their
affiliates (collectively, "PSMI"), culminating in the November 16, 1995 merger
(the 'PSMI Merger") of PSMI into Storage Equities, Inc., a real estate
investment trust organized as a California corporation. In the PSMI Merger,
Storage Equities, Inc.'s name was changed to Public Storage, Inc. ("PSI") and
PSI acquired substantially all of PSMI's United States real estate operations
and became a co-general partner of the Partnership and the operator of the
Partnership's mini-warehouse properties.
The Partnership's general partners are PSI and B. Wayne Hughes ("Hughes")
(collectively referred to as the "General Partners"). Hughes has been a general
partner of the Partnership since its inception. Hughes is chairman of the board
and chief executive officer of PSI, and Hughes and members of his family (the
"Hughes Family") is the major shareholder of PSI.
The Partnership is managed, and its investment decisions are made by Hughes
and the executive officers and directors of PSI. The limited partners of the
Partnership have no right to participate in the operation or conduct of its
business and affairs.
The Partnership's objectives are to (i) maximize the potential for
appreciation in value of the Partnership's properties and (ii) generate
sufficient cash flow from operations to pay all expenses, including the payment
of interest to Noteholders. All of the properties were financed in September,
1987.
The term of the Partnership is until all properties have been sold and, in
any event, not later than December 31, 2035.
Investment in Facilities
- ------------------------
At December 31, 1995, the Partnership owned nine properties. The
Partnership purchased its last property in June, 1978.
The Partnership believes that its operating results have benefited from
favorable industry trends and conditions. Notably, the level of new
mini-warehouse construction has decreased since 1988 while consumer demand has
increased. In addition, in recent years consolidation has occurred in the
fragmented mini-warehouse industry.
Mini-warehouses are designed to offer accessible storage space for personal
and business use at a relatively low cost. A user rents a fully enclosed space
which is for the user's exclusive use and to which only the user has access on
an unrestricted basis during business hours. On-site operation is the
responsibility of resident managers who are supervised by area managers. Some
mini-warehouses also include rentable uncovered parking areas for vehicle
storage. Leases for mini-warehouse space may be on a long-term or short-term
basis, although typically spaces are rented on a month-to-month basis. Rental
rates vary according to the location of the property and the size of the storage
space.
Users of space in mini-warehouses include both individuals and large and
small businesses. Individuals usually employ this space for storage of, among
other things, furniture, household appliances, personal belongings, motor
vehicles, boats, campers, motorcycles and other household goods. Businesses
normally employ this space for storage of excess inventory, business records,
seasonal goods, equipment and fixtures.
Mini-warehouses in which the Partnership has invested generally consist of
three to seven buildings containing an aggregate of between 350 to 750 storage
spaces, most of which have between 25 and 400 square feet and an interior height
of approximately 8 to 12 feet.
The Partnership experiences minor seasonal fluctuations in the occupancy
levels of mini-warehouses with occupancies higher in the summer months than in
the winter months. The Partnership believes that these fluctuations result in
part from increased moving activity during the summer.
The Partnership's mini-warehouses are geographically diversified and are
generally located in heavily populated areas and close to concentrations of
apartment complexes, single family residences and commercial developments.
However, there may be circumstances in which it may be appropriate to own a
property in a less populated area, for example, in an area that is highly
visible from a major thoroughfare and close to, although not in, a heavily
populated area. Moreover, in certain population centers, land costs and zoning
restrictions may create a demand for space in nearby less populated areas.
As with most other types of real estate, the conversion of mini-warehouses
to alternative uses in connection with a sale or otherwise would generally
require substantial capital expenditures. However, the Partnership does not
intend to convert its mini-warehouses to other uses.
Operating Strategies
- --------------------
The Partnership's mini-warehouses are operated by PSI under the "Public
Storage" name, which the Partnership believes is the most recognized name in the
mini-warehouse industry. The major elements of the Partnership's operating
strategies are as follows:
- - Capitalize on "Public Storage's name recognition." PSI, together with its
predecessor, has more than 20 years of operating experience in the
mini-warehouse business, and is the largest operator of mini-warehouses in
the United States. In the past eight years, in excess of $56 million has
been expended promoting the "Public Storage" name. PSI believes that its
marketing and advertising programs improve its competitive position in the
market. PSI believes that it is the only mini-warehouse operator regularly
using television advertising in several major markets around the country,
and its in-house Yellow Pages staff designs and places advertisements in
approximately 700 directories. In addition, PSI offers a toll-free referral
system, 800-44-STORE, which services approximately 100,000 calls per year
from potential customers inquiring as to the nearest Public Storage
mini-warehouse.
- - Maintain high occupancy levels and increase realized rents. Subject to
market conditions, the Partnership generally seeks to achieve average
occupancy levels in excess of 90% and to eliminate promotions prior to
increasing rental rates. Average occupancy for the Partnership's
mini-warehouses has increased from 87% in 1994 to 91% in 1995. Realized
monthly rents per square foot increased from $0.68 in 1994 to $0.70 in
1995. The Partnership has increased rental rates in many markets where it
has achieved high occupancy levels and eliminated or minimized promotions.
- - Systems and controls. PSI has an organizational structure and a property
operation system, "CHAMP" (Computerized Help and Management Program), which
links its corporate office with each mini-warehouse. This enables PSI to
obtain daily information from each mini-warehouse and to achieve
efficiencies in operations and maintain control over its space inventory,
rental rates, promotional discounts and delinquencies. Expense management
is achieved through centralized payroll and accounts payable systems and a
comprehensive property tax appeals department, and PSI has an extensive
internal audit program designed to ensure proper handling of cash
collections.
- - Professional property operation. In addition to the approximately 120
support personnel at the Public Storage corporate offices, there are
approximately 2,700 on-site personnel who manage the day-to-day operations
of the mini-warehouse in the Public Storage system. These on-site personnel
are supervised by 107 district managers, 14 regional managers and three
divisional managers (with an average of 12 years' experience in the
mini-warehouse industry) who report to the president of the mini-warehouse
property operator (who has 11 years of experience with the Public Storage
organization). PSI carefully selects and extensively trains the operational
and support personnel and offers them a progressive career path. See
"Property Operation."
Property Operator
- -----------------
The Partnership's mini-warehouses are managed by PSI (as
successor-in-interest to PSMI) under a Management Agreement (as amended, the
"Management Agreement", which term shall include the Amended Management
Agreement dated as of February 21, 1995). PSI has informed the Partnership that
it is the largest mini-warehouse facility operator in the United States in terms
of both number of facilities and rentable space operated.
Under the supervision of the Partnership, PSI coordinates the operation of
the facilities, establishes rental policies and rates, directs marketing
activity and the purchase of equipment and supplies, maintenance activity, and
the selection and engagement of all vendors, supplies and independent
contractors.
PSI engages, at the expense of the Partnership, employees for the operation
of the Partnership's facilities, including resident managers, assistant
managers, relief managers, and billing and maintenance personnel. Some or all of
these employees may be employed on a part-time basis and may also be employed by
other persons, partnerships, real estate investment trusts or other entities
owning facilities operated by PSI.
In the purchasing of services such as advertising (including broadcast
media advertising) and insurance, PSI attempt to achieve economies by combining
the resources of the various facilities that they operate. Facilities operated
by PSI have historically carried comprehensive insurance, including fire,
earthquake, liability and extended coverage.
PSI has developed systems for space inventory, accounting and handling
delinquent accounts, including a computerized network linking PSI operated
facilities. Each project manager is furnished with detailed operating procedures
and typically receives facilities management training from PSI. Form letters
covering a variety of circumstances are also supplied to the project managers. A
record of actions taken by the project managers when delinquencies occur is
maintained.
The Partnership's facilities are typically advertised via signage, yellow
pages, flyers and broadcast media advertising (television and radio) in
geographic areas in which many of the Partnership's facilities are located.
Broadcast media and other advertising costs are charged to the Partnership's
facilities located in geographic areas affected by the advertising. From time to
time, PSI adopts promotional programs, such as temporary rent reductions, in
selected areas or for individual facilities.
For as long as the Management Agreement is in effect, PSI has granted the
Partnership a non-exclusive license to use two PSI service marks and related
designs, including the "Public Storage" name, in conjunction with rental and
operation of facilities managed pursuant to the Management Agreement. Upon
termination of the Management Agreement, the Partnership would no longer have
the right to use the service marks and related designs except as described
below. The General Partners believe that the loss of the right to use the
service marks and related designs could have a material adverse effect on the
Partnership's business.
The Management Agreement provides that the Management Agreement may be
terminated without cause upon 60 days' written notice by the Partnership and
upon seven years' written notice by PSI. The Management Agreement may also be
terminated at any time by either party for cause, but if terminated for cause by
the Partnership, the Partnership retains the right to use the service marks and
related designs until a date seven years after such termination.
Competition
- -----------
Competition in the market areas in which the Partnership operates is
significant and affects the occupancy levels, rental rates and operating
expenses of certain of the Partnership's facilities. Competition may be
accelerated by any increase in availability of funds for investment in real
estate. Recent increases in plans for development of mini-warehouses is expected
to further intensify competition among mini-warehouse operators in certain
market areas. In addition to competition from mini-warehouses operated by PSI,
there are three other national firms and numerous regional and local operators.
The Partnership believes that the significant operating and financial experience
of PSI, and the "Public Storage" name, should enable the Partnership to continue
to compete effectively with other entities.
Other Business Activities
- -------------------------
A corporation owned by the Hughes Family reinsures policies against losses
to goods stored by tenants in the Partnership's mini-warehouses. The Partnership
believes that the availability of insurance reduces the potential liability of
the Partnership to tenants for losses to their goods from theft or destruction.
This corporation receives the premiums and bears the risks associated with the
insurance.
A corporation, in which PSI has a 95% economic interest and the Hughes
Family has a 5% economic interest, sells locks, boxes and tape to tenants to be
used in securing their spaces and moving their goods. PSI believes that the
availability of locks, boxes and tape for sale promotes the rental of spaces.
Employees
- ---------
There are 9 persons who render services on behalf of the Partnership on a
full-time basis, and 21 persons who render services on a part-time basis. These
persons include resident managers, assistant managers, relief managers, area
managers, and administrative and maintenance personnel.

The weighted average occupancy levels for the mini-warehouse facilities
were 90% and 87% in 1995 and 1994.
Substantially all of the Partnership's facilities were acquired prior to
the time that it was customary to conduct environmental investigations in
connection with property acquisitions. During the fourth quarter of 1995, the
Partnership completed environmental assessments on its properties to evaluate
the environmental condition of, and potential environmental liabilities of such
properties. These assessments were performed by an independent environmental
consulting firm. Based on the assessments, the Partnership has expensed, as of
December 31, 1995, an estimated $22,000 for known environmental remediation
requirements.
The properties are held subject to encumbrances which are described in this
report under Note 7 of the Notes to the Financial Statements included in Item
14(a).

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE PARTNERSHIP'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
MATTERS.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Partnership has no common stock.
The Units are not listed on any national securities exchange or quoted on
the NASDAQ System, and there is no established public trading market for the
Units. Secondary sales activity for the Units has been limited and sporadic. The
General Partners monitor transfers of the Units (a) because the admission of the
transferee as a substitute limited partner requires the consent of the General
Partners under the Partnership's Amended and Restated Certificate and Agreement
of Limited Partnership, (b) in order to ensure compliance with safe harbor
provisions to avoid treatment as a "publicly traded partnership" for tax
purposes, and (c) because the General Partners (and their
predecessor-in-interest) have purchased Units. However, the General Partners do
not have information regarding the prices at which all secondary sale
transactions in the Units have been effectuated. Various organizations offer to
purchase and sell limited partnership interests (including securities of the
type such as the Units) in secondary sales transactions. Various publications
such as The Stanger Report summarize and report information (on a monthly,
bimonthly or less frequent basis) regarding secondary sales transactions in
certain limited partnership interests, including the prices at which such
secondary sales transactions are effectuated.
In addition, Dean Witter Reynolds Inc., the dealer-manager for the
Partnership's initial offering of Units, has certain information with regard to
sale transactions in the Units.
Exclusive of the General Partners' interest in the Partnership, as of
December 31, 1995, there were approximately 984 record holders of Units.
In September 1995, Old PSI and Hughes completed a cash tender offer, in
which Old PSI acquired 852 Units and Hughes acquired 6,000 Units of the 20,000
outstanding limited partnership Units in the Partnership at $171 per Unit. As a
result of the PSMI Merger, PSI owns all of the Units that were owned by Old PSI,
and PSI has an option to acquire all of the Units owned by Hughes. As of
February 29, 1996, PSI and Hughes owned an aggregate of 7,497 Units (37.5% of
the Units).
Distributions to the general and limited partners of all cash available for
distribution (as defined) are made quarterly. Cash available for distribution is
generally funds from operations of the Partnership, without deductions for
depreciation, but after deducting funds to pay or establish reserves for all
other expenses (other than incentive distributions to the General Partners) and
capital improvements, plus net proceeds from any sale or financing of the
Partnership's properties. In the fourth quarter of 1990, quarterly distributions
were discontinued to enable the Partnership to increase its reserves for
principal repayments that commenced in 1992.
Reference is made to Item 6 and 7 hereof for information on the amount of
such distributions.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994:
The Partnership's net income in 1995 was $1,125,000 compared to $1,075,000
in 1994, representing an increase of $50,000. This increase is primarily due to
an increase in property net operating income combined with a decrease in
interest expense offset by a decrease in other income and environmental cost
incurred in 1995.
During 1995, property net operating income (rental income less cost of
operations, management fees paid to an affiliate and depreciation expense)
increased $93,000 from $2,236,000 in 1994 to $2,329,000 in 1995. This increase
is primarily attributable to an increase in rental revenues at the Partnership's
mini-warehouse facilities partially offset by increases in cost of operations
and depreciation expense.
Rental income was $3,848,000 in 1995 compared to $3,611,000 in 1994,
representing an increase of $237,000, or 7%. This increase was primarily
attributable to increased occupancies and rental rates at the Partnership's real
estate facilities. Weighted average occupancy levels at the mini-warehouses were
91% and 87% in 1995 and 1994, respectively. The average monthly realized rent
per square foot at the mini-warehouses was $.70 in 1995 compared to $.68 in
1994.
In November 1995 the Partnership sold its 39,911 shares of PSI common stock
for $708,000 and realized a gain on the sale of $361,000.
Other income decreased from $91,000 in 1994 to $26,000 in 1995 as a result
of a decrease in dividend income earned on its marketable securities sold in
November 1995 and lower invested cash balances in 1995 compared to 1994.
Cost of operations (including management fees paid to an affiliate) was
$1,163,000 and $1,079,000 in 1995 and 1994, respectively, representing an
increase of $84,000, or 8%. This increase was primarily attributable to
increases in payroll cost, and management fees paid to an affiliate as a result
of an increase in rental revenues.
Substantially all of the Partnership's facilities were acquired prior to
the time that it was customary to conduct environmental investigations in
connection with property acquisitions. During the fourth quarter of 1995, the
Partnership completed environmental assessments on its properties to evaluate
the environmental condition of, and potential environmental liabilities of such
properties. These assessments were performed by an independent environmental
consulting firm. Based on the assessments, the Partnership has expensed, as of
December 31, 1995, an estimated $22,000 for known environmental remediation
requirements. Although there can be no assurance, the Partnership is not aware
of any environmental contamination of any of its property sites which
individually or in the aggregate would be material to the Partnership's overall
business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Interest expense was $1,520,000 and $1,658,000 in 1995 and 1994,
respectively, representing a decrease of $138,000, or 8%. The decrease was
primarily a result of a reduction in the average outstanding debt balance in
1995 compared to 1994.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993:
The Partnership's net income in 1994 was $1,075,000 compared to $101,000 in
1993, representing an increase of $974,000. Net income in 1994 includes a gain
on sale of marketable securities of $479,000. Excluding this gain net income
increased $495,000 in 1994 as compared to 1993. The increase was primarily a
result of the decrease in interest expense.
During 1994, property net operating income (rental income less cost of
operations, management fees paid to an affiliate and depreciation expense)
increased $17,000 from $2,219,000 in 1993 to $2,236,000 in 1994. This increase
is primarily attributable to an increase in rental revenues at the Partnership's
mini-warehouse facilities partially offset by increases in cost of operations
and depreciation expense.
Rental income was $3,611,000 in 1994 compared to $3,563,000 in 1993,
representing an increase of $48,000, or 1%. This increase was primarily
attributable to increased occupancies at the Partnership's real estate
facilities. Weighted average occupancy levels at the mini-warehouses were 87%
and 85% in 1994 and 1993, respectively. The average monthly realized rent per
square foot at the mini-warehouses was $.68 in 1994 compared to $.66 in 1993.
Cost of operations (including management fees) was $1,079,000 and
$1,040,000 in 1994 and 1993, respectively, representing an increase of $39,000,
or 3%. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in payroll, repairs
and maintenance expenses, partially offset by decreases in advertising and
promotion expenses.
Interest expense was $1,658,000 and $2,171,000 in 1994 and 1993,
respectively, representing a decrease of $513,000, or 24%. The decrease was
primarily a result of a lower interest rate on the outstanding debt combined
with a reduction in the average outstanding debt balance in 1994 compared to
1993 partially offset by an increase in the amortization of deferred loan costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Cash flow from operating activities ($1,077,000 in 1995) has been
sufficient to meet all current obligations of the Partnership. During 1996, the
Partnership anticipates approximately $235,000 of capital improvements compared
to $344,000 in 1995, $150,000 in 1994 and $35,000 in 1993.
In January 1996 the Partnership obtained a $1,500,000 loan from PSI to
repay and terminate the unsecured note payable from Wells Fargo Bank. The PSI
loan bears interest at the prime rate plus 1%, payable monthly, in addition to
monthly principal payments of $50,000.
At December 31, 1994, the Partnership held 39,911 shares of common stock
(marketable securities) with a fair value of $574,000 (cost basis of $347,000 at
December 31, 1994) in Public Storage, Inc. In November 1995, the Partnership
sold its marketable securities in Public Storage, Inc. for $708,000. The
proceeds from the sale were used to make an unscheduled principal payment on the
Partnership's notes payable.
In November 1995, the Management Agreement with PSMI was amended to provide
that upon demand from PSI or PSMI made prior to December 15, 1995, the
Partnership agreed to prepay (within 15 days after such demand) up to 12 months
of management fees (based on the management fees for the comparable period
during the calendar year immediately preceding such prepayment) discounted at
the rate of 14% per year to compensate for early payment. In December 1995, the
Partnership prepaid, to PSI, 8 months of 1996 management fees at a cost of
$138,000. The amount is included in prepaid expenses on the Balance Sheet at
December 31, 1995 and will be amortized as management fee expense in 1996.
In the fourth quarter of 1990, quarterly distributions were discontinued to
enable the Partnership to increase its reserves for principal payments that
commenced in 1992.
The distributions in the aggregate to limited and general partners for each

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Public Storage Properties,

the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements and schedule 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 financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Public Storage Properties, Ltd.
at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion,
the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material
respects the information set forth therein.

PUBLIC STORAGE PROPERTIES, LTD.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1995
1. DESCRIPTION OF PARTNERSHIP
----------------------------
Public Storage Properties, Ltd. (the "Partnership") was formed with the
proceeds of a public offering. The general partners in the Partnership are
Public Storage, Inc., formerly known as Storage Equities, Inc. and B. Wayne
Hughes ("Hughes"). In 1995, there was a series of mergers among Public Storage
Management, Inc. (which was the Partnership's mini-warehouse property operator),
Public Storage, Inc. (which was one of the Partnership's general partners) and
their affiliates (collectively, "PSMI"), culminating in the November 16, 1995
merger of PSMI into Storage Equities, Inc., a real estate investment trust
listed on the New York Stock Exchange. In the PSMI merger, Storage Equities,
Inc.'s name was changed to Public Storage, Inc. ("PSI") and PSI became a
co-general partner of the Partnership and the operator of the Partnership's
mini-warehouse properties.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PARTNERSHIP MATTERS
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Mini-Warehouse Facilities:
- --------------------------
Cost of land includes appraisal fees and legal fees related to acquisition
and closing costs. Buildings, land improvements and equipment reflect costs
incurred through December 31, 1995 and 1994 to develop mini-warehouse facilities
which provide self-service storage spaces for lease, usually on a month-to-month
basis, to the general public. The buildings and equipment are depreciated on the
straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 25 and 5 years, respectively.
Allocation of Net Income:
- -------------------------
The general partners' share of net income consists of amounts attributable
to their 1% capital contribution and an additional percentage of cash flow (as
defined) which relates to the general partners' share of cash distributions as
set forth in the Partnership Agreement (Note 4). All remaining net income is
allocated to the limited partners.
Per unit data is based on the weighted average number of the limited
partnership units (20,000) outstanding during the period.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
- --------------------------
For financial statement purposes, the Partnership considers all highly
liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Marketable Securities:
- ----------------------
Marketable securities at December 31, 1994 consisted of 39,911 shares of
common stock of PSI. The Partnership had designated its portfolio of marketable
securities as being available for sale. Accordingly, at December 31, 1994, the
Partnership has recorded the marketable securities at fair value, based upon the
closing quoted price of the securities at December 31, 1994, and has recorded a
corresponding unrealized gain in partners' equity. The Partnership recognized
$26,000 and $87,000 in dividends in 1995 and 1994, respectively. In September
1994, the Partnership sold 85,000 of the shares of common stock of PSI and
recognized a gain totaling $479,000 on the sale. In November 1995 the
Partnership sold all its remaining 39,911 shares of PSI common stock, and
recognized a gain totaling $361,000 on the sale.
Other Assets:
- -------------
Included in other assets are deferred financing costs. In 1993, the
Partnership incurred deferred financing costs of approximately $246,000 in
connection with the modification of its mortgage note payable (Note 7). In
addition, deferred financing costs of approximately $33,000, $33,000 and
$145,000 relating to the pre-modified mortgage loan were expensed during 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively, and included in interest expense.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PARTNERSHIP MATTERS
(CONTINUED)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Environmental Cost:
- -------------------
Substantially all of the Partnership's facilities were acquired prior to
the time that it was customary to conduct environmental investigations in
connection with property acquisitions. During 1995, the Partnership completed
environmental assessments of its properties to evaluate the environmental
condition of, and potential environmental liabilities of such properties. These
assessments were performed by an independent environmental consulting firm.
Based on the assessments, the Partnership has expensed, as of December 31, 1995,
an estimated $22,000 for known environmental remediation requirements. Although
there can be no assurance, the Partnership is not aware of any environmental
contamination of any of its property sites which individually or in the
aggregate would be material to the Partnership's overall business, financial
condition, or results of operations.
3. CASH DISTRIBUTIONS
------------------
The Partnership Agreement requires that cash available for distribution
(cash flow from all sources less cash necessary for any obligations or capital
improvement needs) be distributed at least quarterly. Cash distributions have
been suspended since the fourth quarter of 1990 in order to build cash reserves
for future debt service payments.
4. PARTNERS' EQUITY
----------------
The general partners have a 1% interest in the Partnership. In addition,
the general partners have an 8% interest in cash distributions attributable to
operations (exclusive of distributions attributable to sale and financing
proceeds until the limited partners recover all of their initial investment).
Thereafter, the general partners have a 25% interest in all cash distributions
(including sale and financing proceeds). In 1985, the limited partners recovered
all of their initial investment. All subsequent cash distributions are being
made 25.75% (including the 1% interest) to the general partners and 74.25% to
the limited partners. Transfers of equity are made periodically to conform the
partners' equity accounts to the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. These
transfers have no effect on the results of operations or distributions to
partners.
Concurrent with the financing of the Partnership's properties in 1987 (Note
7), the Partnership made a special distribution totaling $20,202,000 to the
partners. This special distribution had no effect on the Partnership's taxable
income, however, resulted in a deficit in the limited and general partners'
equity accounts.
5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
--------------------------
The Partnership has a Management Agreement with PSI (as
successor-in-interest to PSMI) Under the terms of the agreement, PSI operates
the mini-warehouse facilities for a fee equal to 6% of the facilities' monthly
gross revenue (as defined).
5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
-------------------------------------
In November 1995, the Management Agreement was amended to provide that upon
demand from PSI or PSMI made prior to December 15, 1995, the Partnership agreed
to prepay (within 15 days after such demand) up to 12 months of management fees
(based on the management fees for the comparable period during the calendar year
immediately preceding such prepayment) discounted at the rate of 14% per year to
compensate for early payment. In December 1995, the Partnership prepaid, to PSI,
8 months of 1996 management fees at a cost of $138,000. The amount is included
in other assets on the Balance Sheet at December 31, 1995 and will be amortized
as management fee expense in 1996.
6. TAXES BASED ON INCOME
---------------------
Taxes based on income are the responsibility of the individual partners
and, accordingly, the Partnership's financial statements do not reflect a
provision for such taxes.
Taxable net income was $1,209,000, $1,114,000 and $93,000 for the years
ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The difference between
taxable net income and net income is primarily related to depreciation expense
resulting from difference in depreciation methods.
7. NOTES PAYABLE
-------------
Notes payable at December 31, 1995 and 1994 consist of the following:
1995 1994
----------- -----------
8.25% mortgage note payable to an
insurance company with principal
and interest due monthly; remaining
principal due September, 2001. $14,801,000 $15,245,000
Unsecured note payable, bearing interest at
1% above bank's prime rate term
loan due bank, payable monthly,
and requiring $50,000 monthly principal
payments; remaining principal due
July 1, 1999. 1,550,000 2,750,000
----------- -----------
$16,351,000 $17,995,000
=========== ===========
During 1987, the Partnership financed all of its properties with a
$20,885,000, nonrecourse note secured by the Partnership's properties which was
scheduled to mature in 1994. In September 1993, the Partnership and the lender
modified the terms of the note whereby (i) the Partnership was required to make
a $5,000,000 principal repayment, (ii) the interest rate was reduced from 10.25%
to 8.25% per annum, and (iii) the maturity date was extended from September 1,
1994 to September 1, 2001.
7. NOTES PAYABLE (CONTINUED)
------------------------
On September 1, 1993, the Partnership borrowed $5,000,000 from PSI, the
proceeds of which were used to repay the required principal on the above
modified note. On June 30, 1994, the Partnership repaid the remaining principal
balance of $4,350,000 due to PSI. This payment was funded with a combination of
(i) a $3,000,000 term loan from Wells Fargo Bank, (ii) a $1,250,000 loan from an
affiliate and (iii) cash reserves. The terms of the Wells Fargo Bank loan
requires compliance by the Partnership with certain financial covenants,
including the maintenance of a debt coverage ratio, as defined. In December
1995, the Partnership made an unscheduled principal payment of $600,000. As of
December 31, 1995, the Partnership was in compliance with all financial covenant
requirements.
The Partnership believes that it is not practical to estimate the fair
value of its long-term fixed rate debt at December 31, 1995 because there is no
public market for such debt, and although interest rates at December 31, 1995
are lower than when such debt was incurred, the Partnership does not believe it
could obtain financing currently on such favorable term. This is in part due to
the reduced sources of real estate financing resulting from a variety of
factors, including the present condition of financial institutions.
The principal repayment schedule of the above notes payable as of December
31, 1995, is as follows:
1996 $ 1,083,000
1997 1,124,000
1998 919,000
1999 618,000
2000 667,000
Thereafter 11,940,000
----------
$16,351,000
===========
Interest paid on the notes was $1,488,000, $1,626,000 and $2,017,000 for
the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
8. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
----------------
In January 1996 the Partnership obtained a $1,510,000 loan from PSI to
repay and terminate the unsecured note payable from Wells Fargo Bank. The PSI
loan bears interest at the prime rate plus 1%, payable monthly, in addition to
monthly principal payments of $50,000.
