                     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 September 30, 1997, the results of its operations for the three and nine
     months  ended  September  30, 1997 and 1996 and its cash flows for the nine
     months then ended.

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

                        PUBLIC STORAGE PROPERTIES, LTD.,
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


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

     THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED  SEPTEMBER  30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE AND NINE
     MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996:

     The  Partnership's  net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
 was $995,000 compared to $743,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
 representing an increase of $252,000 or 34%. The  Partnership's  net income for
 the three months ended September 30, 1997 was $368,000 compared to $268,000 for
 the three months ended September 30, 1996, representing an increase of $100,000
 or 37%. 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 nine months ended  September 30, 1997 was  $3,203,000
 compared  to  $2,960,000   for  the  nine  months  ended   September   30,1996,
 representing  an increase of $243,000 or 8%. Rental income for the three months
 ended  September 30, 1997 was  $1,102,000  compared to $1,012,000 for the three
 months ended  September  30, 1996,  representing  an increase of $90,000 or 9%.
 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 95% and 91% for the nine
 months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,  respectively.  Realized rent for the
 nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased to $.74 per occupied square foot
 from $.71 per  occupied  square foot for the nine months  ended  September  30,
 1996.

     Cost of operations (including management fees paid to an affiliate) for the
 nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $901,000  compared to $855,000 for the
 nine months ended  September 30, 1996,  representing  an increase of $46,000 or
 5%. Cost of operations (including management fees paid to an affiliate) for the
 three months ended September 30, 1997 was $299,000 compared to $285,000 for the
 three months ended  September 30, 1996,  representing an increase of $14,000 or
 5%. This  increase is mainly  attributable  to  increases in  management  fees,
 property tax and advertising and promotion expenses.

     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 nine
 months ended September 30, 1996 was $20,000 lower than it would have been under
 the customary undiscounted fee structure.

                                       7
<PAGE>

     Interest  expense  decreased  $84,000 to $948,000 in the nine months  ended
 September 30, 1997 from $1,032,000 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  ($1,408,000  for the nine  months  ended
 September 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.
