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, 1998.
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, 1999, the results of its operations for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 and its cash flows for the six months then
ended.
3. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1999 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., a general
partner of the Partnership. The loan from Public Storage, Inc. required
monthly interest payments at the fixed rate of 7.3% and was scheduled to
mature June 1999. The loan to Public Storage, Inc. was paid off in
October 1998 from the proceeds from a loan with a commercial bank.
5. During October 1998, the Partnership borrowed $12,400,000 from a
commercial bank to payoff the loan from Public Storage, Inc. and the
mortgage note with a third party. The loan is unsecured and bears
interest at the London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") plus 0.55%
(5.675% as of June 30, 1999). The loan requires monthly payments of
interest and matures October 2002. Principal may be paid, in whole or in
part, at any time without penalty or premium.

<PAGE>
5. (continued)
The Partnership also entered into interest rate swap agreements to
reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on a portion of its
floating rate debt. The agreement, which covers $5,000,000 of debt
through October 2000, effectively changes the interest rate exposure
from floating rate to a fixed rate of 5.205%. The second agreement,
which covers $2,500,000 of debt through October 2001 and effectively
changes the interest rate exposure from floating rate to a fixed rate of
5.33%. Market gains and losses on the value of the swap are deferred and
included in income over the life of the contract. The Partnership
records the differences paid or received on the interest rate swap in
interest expense as payments are made or received. As of June 30, 1999,
the unrealized gain on the interest rate swap, if required to be
liquidated was approximately $50,000.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
- --------------------------
When used within this document, the words "expects," "believes,"
"anticipates," "should," "estimates," and similar expressions are intended to
identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of that term in Section
27A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, and in Section 21F of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which may
cause the actual results and performance of the Partnership to be materially
different from those expressed or implied in the forward looking statements.
Such factors include the impact of competition from new and existing real estate
facilities which could impact rents and occupancy levels at the real estate
facilities that the Partnership has an interest in; the Partnership's ability to
effectively compete in the markets that it does business in; the impact of the
regulatory environment as well as national, state, and local laws and
regulations including, without limitation, those governing Partnerships; and the
impact of general economic conditions upon rental rates and occupancy levels at
the real estate facilities that the Partnership has an interest in.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE AND SIX
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998:
The Partnership's net income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was
$1,050,000 compared to $781,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998,
representing an increase of $269,000 or 34%. The Partnership's net income for
the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $582,000 compared to $421,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1998, representing an increase of $161,000 or 38%.
These increases are primarily a result of improved operating results at the
Partnership's real estate facilities combined with a decrease in interest
expense resulting from a lower outstanding debt balances in 1999 compared to
1998 along with a reduction in the interest rate resulting from the October 1998
refinancing of the outstanding debt.
Rental income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $2,413,000
compared to $2,267,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 representing an
increase of $146,000 or 6%. Rental income for the three months ended June 30,
1999 was $1,239,000 compared to $1,160,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1998, representing an increase of $79,000 or 7%. 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 were 93% and 94% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Average annual realized rent for the six months ended June 30,
1999 increased to $10.19 per occupied square foot from $9.53 per occupied square
foot for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

<PAGE>
Cost of operations (including management fees paid to affiliate) for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $723,000 compared to $656,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1998, representing an increase of $67,000 or 10%. 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, 1999 was $347,000 compared to
$328,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, representing an increase of
$19,000 or 6%.
Interest expense decreased $258,000 to $316,000 in the six months ended
June 30, 1999 from $574,000 in the same period in 1998. This decrease is mainly
attributable to a lower outstanding principal balances and reduced interest
rates on the Partnership's indebtedness. See Liquidity and Capital Resources for
a discussion of the refinancing of the Partnership's indebtedness.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
Cash generated from operations ($1,321,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1999) has been sufficient to meet all current obligations of the
Partnership.
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.
required monthly interest payments at the fixed rate of 7.3% and was schedule to
mature June 1999. The loan to Public Storage, Inc. was paid off in October 1998
from the proceeds from a loan with a commercial bank.
During October 1998, the Partnership borrowed $12,400,000 from a
commercial bank to payoff the loan from Public Storage, Inc. and the mortgage
note with a third party. The loan is unsecured and bears interest at the London
Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") plus 0.55% (5.675% as of June 30, 1999). The
loan requires monthly payments of interest and matures October 2002. Principal
may be paid, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium.
The Partnership also entered into interest rate swap agreements to
reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on a portion of its floating rate
debt. The agreement, which covers $5,000,000 of debt through October 2000,
effectively changes the interest rate exposure from floating rate to a fixed
rate of 5.205%. The second agreement, which covers $2,500,000 of debt through
October 2001 and effectively changes the interest rate exposure from floating
rate to a fixed rate of 5.33%. Market gains and losses on the value of the swap
are deferred and included in income over the life of the contract. The
Partnership records the differences paid or received on the interest rate swap
in interest expense as payments are made or received. As of June 30, 1999, the
unrealized gain on the interest rate swap, if required to be liquidated was
approximately $50,000.

<PAGE>
Year 2000 System Issues
- -----------------------
The Partnership utilizes Public Storage, Inc.'s ("PSI") information
systems in connection with a cost sharing and administrative services agreement.
PSI has completed an assessment of all of its hardware and software applications
to identify susceptibility to what is commonly referred to as the "Y2K Issue"
whereby certain computer programs have been written using two digits rather than
four to define the applicable year. Any of the PSI's computer programs or
hardware with the Y2K Issue that have date-sensitive applications or embedded
chips may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year
2000, resulting in miscalculations or system failure causing disruptions of
operations.
PSI has two phases in its process with respect to each of its systems;
i) assessment, whereby PSI evaluates whether the system is Y2K compliant and
identifies the plan of action with respect to remediating any Y2K issues
identified and ii) implementation, whereby PSI completes the plan of action
prepared in the assessment phase and verifies that Y2K compliance has been
achieved.
Implementations have been completed on PSI's critical applications that
impact the Partnership, such as the general ledger, property operations, and
related systems. Contingency plans have been developed for use in case PSI's
assessment did not identify all Y2K issues, or if the implementation were
subsequently determined to not fully remediate Y2K issues that were identified.
While PSI presently believes that the impact of the Y2K Issue on its systems can
be mitigated, if PSI's plan for ensuring Year 2000 compliance and the related
contingency plans were to fail, be insufficient, or not be implemented on a
timely basis, Partnership operations could be materially impacted.
Certain of PSI's other non-computer related systems that may be
impacted by the Y2K Issue, such as security systems, have been evaluated. PSI
expects the implementation of the required solutions to be completed in advance
of December 31, 1999. Based upon its evaluation, PSI has no reason to believe
that lack of compliance or failure of required solutions would materially impact
the Partnership's operations.
The Partnership exchanges electronic data with certain outside vendors
in the banking and payroll processing areas. The Partnership has been advised by
these vendors that their systems are or will be Year 2000 compliant, but has
requested a Year 2000 compliance certification from these entities. The
Partnership is not aware of any other vendors, suppliers, or other external
agents with a Y2K Issue that would materially impact the Partnership's results
of operations, liquidity, or capital resources. However, the Partnership has no
means of ensuring that external agents will be Year 2000 compliant, and there
can be no assurance that PSI has identified all such external agents. The
inability of external agents to complete their Year 2000 compliance process in a
timely fashion could materially impact the Partnership. The effect of
non-compliance by external agents is not determinable.
10
<PAGE>
The cost of PSI's year 2000 compliance activities (which primarily
consists of the costs of new systems) to be allocated to the Partnership is
estimated at approximately $40,311. These costs are capitalized. PSI's year 2000
compliance efforts have not resulted in any significant deferrals in other
information system projects.
The costs of the projects and the date on which PSI expects to achieve
Year 2000 Compliance are based upon management's best estimates, and were
derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events. There can be no
assurance that these estimates will be achieved, and actual results could differ
materially from those anticipated. There can be no assurance that PSI has
identified all potential Y2K Issues either within the Partnership, at PSI or at
external agents. In addition, the impact of the Y2K issue on governmental
entities and utility providers and the resultant impact on the Partnership, as
well as disruptions in the general economy, may be material but cannot be
reasonably determined or quantified.
