                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


1.   The  accompanying   unaudited  condensed  financial  statements  have  been
     prepared  pursuant  to the  rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and
     Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
     included in financial  statements  prepared in  accordance  with  generally
     accepted  accounting  principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to
     such  rules  and  regulations,   although   management  believes  that  the
     disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the information presented
     not misleading.  These unaudited condensed  financial  statements should be
     read in  conjunction  with  the  financial  statements  and  related  notes
     appearing in the  Partnership's  Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31,
     1996. 

2.   In  the  opinion  of  management,   the  accompanying  unaudited  condensed
     financial  statements  reflect all  adjustments,  consisting of only normal
     accruals,  necessary to present fairly the Partnership's financial position
     at June 30,  1997,  the  results  of its  operations  for the three and six
     months  ended June 30,  1997 and 1996 and its cash flows for the six months
     then ended.

3.   The results of operations  for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997
     are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

     THREE AND SIX MONTHS  ENDED JUNE 30, 1997  COMPARED TO THREE AND SIX MONTHS
     ENDED JUNE 30, 1996:

     The  Partnership's  net income for the six months  ended June 30,  1997 was
$627,000  compared  to  $475,000  for  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1996,
representing  an increase of $152,000 or 32%. The  Partnership's  net income for
the three months  ended June 30, 1997 was $321,000  compared to $215,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1996,  representing  an increase of $106,000 or 49%.
These  increases  are primarily a result of increased  operating  results at the
Partnership's  real  estate  facilities  combined  with a decrease  in  interest
expense resulting from a lower notes payable balance in 1997 compared to 1996.

     Rental  income  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1997  was  $2,101,000
compared to $1,948,000  for the six months ended June 30, 1996  representing  an
increase of $153,000 or 8%.  Rental  income for the three  months ended June 30,
1997 was  $1,051,000  compared to $984,000  for the three  months ended June 30,
1996,  representing  an increase of $67,000 or 7%. These increases are primarily
attributable  to higher rental rates and occupancy  levels at the  Partnership's
mini-warehouse   facilities.  The  weighted  average  occupancy  levels  at  the
mini-warehouse  facilities  were 94% and 91% for the six  months  ended June 30,
1997 and 1996,  respectively.  Realized  rent for the six months  ended June 30,
1997  increased to $.74 per occupied  square foot from $.71 per occupied  square
foot for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

     Cost of operations  (including  management  fees paid to affiliate) for the
six months  ended June 30, 1997 was  $602,000  compared to $570,000  for the six
months  ended June 30,  1996,  representing  an  increase of $32,000 or 5%. This
increase is mainly attributable to increases in management fees and property tax
expenses.  Cost of operations  (including management fees paid to affiliate) for
the three months  ended June 30, 1997 was $283,000  compared to $287,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1996,  representing a decrease of $4,000 or 1%. This
decrease is mainly attributable to a decrease in repairs and maintenance expense
partially offset by an increase in management fees expense.


                                       7
<PAGE>

     In 1995, the  Partnership  prepaid eight months of 1996  management fees on
its  mini-warehouse  operations  discounted at the rate of 14% effective rate to
compensate  for early payment.  As a result,  management fee expense for the six
months  ended June 30, 1996 was $14,000  lower than it would have been under the
customary undiscounted fee structure.

     Interest expense decreased $51,000 to $638,000 in the six months ended June
30,  1997 from  $689,000  in the same  period in 1996.  This  decrease is mainly
attributable to lower outstanding  principal balances on the Partnership's notes
payable.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

     Cash generated from operations  ($850,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1997) has been sufficient to meet all current obligations of the Partnership.

     In the fourth quarter of 1990, quarterly distributions were discontinued to
enable the Partnership to increase its cash reserves for principal payments that
commenced in 1993.
