                     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,
     1997.

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, 1998,  the results of its  operations  for the six months ended
     June 30, 1998 and its cash flows for the six months then ended.

3.   The results of  operations  for the six months  ended June 30, 1998 are not
     necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

4.   On June 1, 1998, the  Partnership  paid down its mortgage note with a third
     party lender by $11,641,000. The payment was made from cash reserves and an
     $11,000,000  loan from Public  Storage,  Inc. The loan from Public Storage,
     Inc.  bears  interest at the fixed rate of 7.3% and matures June 1999.  The
     loan calls for monthly payments of interest only.  Principal may be paid at
     anytime  without  penalty.  Public  Storage,  Inc.  has also  provided  the
     Partnership with options to extend the loan term through June 2003.

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


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

     THREE AND SIX MONTHS  ENDED JUNE 30, 1998  COMPARED TO THREE AND SIX MONTHS
ENDED JUNE 30, 1997:

     The  Partnership's  net income for the six months  ended June 30,  1998 was
$781,000  compared  to  $627,000  for  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1997,
representing  an increase of $154,000 or 25%. The  Partnership's  net income for
the three months  ended June 30, 1998 was $421,000  compared to $321,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1997,  representing  an increase of $100,000 or 31%.
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 1998 compared to 1997.

     Rental  income  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1998  was  $2,267,000
compared to $2,101,000  for the six months ended June 30, 1997  representing  an
increase of $166,000 or 8%.  Rental  income for the three  months ended June 30,
1998 was  $1,160,000  compared to $1,051,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1997, representing an increase of $109,000 or 10%. These increases are primarily
attributable  to  higher  rental  rates  at  the  Partnership's   mini-warehouse
facilities.   The  weighted  average  occupancy  levels  at  the  mini-warehouse
facilities  was 94% for the six months  ended June 30,  1998 and 1997.  Realized
rent for the six  months  ended June 30,  1998  increased  to $.79 per  occupied
square foot from $.74 per occupied square foot for the six months ended June 30,
1997.

     Cost of operations  (including  management  fees paid to affiliate) for the
six months  ended June 30, 1998 was  $656,000  compared to $602,000  for the six
months  ended June 30,  1997,  representing  an  increase of $54,000 or 9%. This
increase is mainly  attributable to increases in management fees and advertising
and promotion expenses.  Cost of operations  (including  management fees paid to
affiliate)  for the three months  ended June 30, 1998 was  $328,000  compared to
$283,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997,  representing  an increase of
$45,000 or 16%. This increase is mainly  attributable  to an increase in repairs
and maintenance, management fees and advertising and promotion expenses.

     Interest expense decreased $64,000 to $574,000 in the six months ended June
30,  1998 from  $638,000  in the same  period in 1997.  This  decrease is mainly
attributable to lower outstanding  principal balances on the Partnership's notes
payable.

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

     Cash generated from  operations  ($1,111,000  for the six months ended June
30,  1998)  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.

     On June 1, 1998, the  Partnership  paid down its mortgage note with a third
party  lender by  $11,641,000.  The payment was made from cash  reserves  and an
$11,000,000  loan from Public Storage,  Inc. The loan from Public Storage,  Inc.
bears  interest at the fixed rate of 7.3% and matures June 1999.  The loan calls
for monthly payments of interest only.  Principal may be paid at anytime without
penalty.  Public Storage, Inc. has also provided the Partnership with options to
extend the loan term through June 2003.
