                     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, 1999.

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, 2000,  the results of its  operations  for the six
         months  ended  June 30,  2000 and 1999 and its cash  flows  for the six
         months then ended.

3.       The results of  operations  for the six months  ended June 30, 2000 are
         not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

4.       During October 1998, we borrowed  $12,400,000  from a commercial  bank.
         The loan is  unsecured  and  bears  interest  at the  London  Interbank
         Offering Rate  ("LIBOR")  plus 0.55% (7.18% as of June 30,  2000).  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.  We 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.  We record the
         differences  paid or  received  on the  interest  rate swap in interest
         expense  as  payments  are made or  received.  As of June 30,  2000 the
         unrealized  gain on the interest swap, if required to be liquidated was
         approximately $85,000.

5.       We sold during March 2000 excess land  adjacent to one of our operating
         properties  for  $98,000.  This  resulted  in a gain of  $66,000  being
         realized in the first quarter of 2000. We sold during June 2000, excess
         land  adjacent to one of our  operating  properties  for $73,000.  This
         resulted in a gain  $69,000  being  realized  in the second  quarter of
         2000.

                      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,  2000  COMPARED  TO THREE AND SIX
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999:

         Our net income for the six months  ended June 30,  2000 was  $1,499,000
compared to $1,050,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999,  representing  an
increase of $449,000 or 43%.  Our net income for the three months ended June 30,
2000 was $793,000 compared to $582,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999,
representing  an increase of $211,000 or 36%.  These  increases  are primarily a
result of the sale of excess  land  which  resulted  in a gain of  $135,000  and
increased  property  operating  results  combined  with a decrease  in  interest
expense.

         Rental  income for the six months  ended June 30,  2000 was  $2,634,000
compared to $2,413,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999,  representing  an
increase of $221,000 or 9%.  Rental  income for the three  months ended June 30,
2000 was  $1,347,000  compared to $1,239,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1999,  representing an increase of $108,000 or 9%. These increases are primarily
attributable  to  higher  rental  rates  and  higher  occupancy  levels  at  our
mini-warehouse   facilities.  The  weighted  average  occupancy  levels  at  the
mini-warehouse  facilities  were 96% and 93% for the six  months  ended June 30,
2000 and 1999, respectively.  Annual realized rent for the six months ended June
30, 2000  increased to $10.85 per occupied  square foot from $10.19 per occupied
square foot for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

         Cost of operations (including management fees paid to an affiliate) for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $729,000 compared to $723,000 for the six
months  ended June 30, 1999,  representing  an increase of $6,000 or 1%. Cost of

                                       7

<PAGE>

operations (including management fees paid to an affiliate) for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 was $365,000 compared to $347,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1999, representing a increase of $18,000 or 5%.

         Interest expense decreased $96,000 to $220,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 from $316,000 for the same period in 1999. This decrease is mainly
attributable to lower outstanding principal balances.  See Liquidity and Capital
Resources for a discussion of the refinancing of the Partnership's indebtedness.

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

         Cash generated  from  operations  ($1,573,000  for the six months ended
June 30,  2000)  has been  sufficient  to meet all  current  obligations  of the
Partnership.

         During October 1998, we borrowed  $12,400,000 from a commercial bank to
payoff  other  loans.  The loan is  unsecured  and bears  interest at the London
Interbank  Offering Rate ("LIBOR")  plus 0.55% (7.18% as of June 30, 2000).  The
loan requires  monthly  payments of interest and mature October 2002.  Principal
may be paid, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium.

         We have 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. We record the differences paid
or received on the interest  rate swap in interest  expense as payments are made
or received. As of June 30, 2000, the unrealized gain on the interest rate swap,
if required to be liquidated was approximately $85,000.
