                     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,
     1995.

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 March 31, 1996, the results of its operations for the three months ended
     March 31, 1996 and 1995 and its cash flows for the three months then ended.

3.   The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 are not
     necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

4.   Certain prior year amounts have been  reclassified to conform with the 1996
     presentation.

5.   Marketable securities at March 31, 1996 consist of 297,130 shares of common
     stock of Public  Storage,  Inc., a publicly  traded real estate  investment
     trust  and a  general  partner  of the  Partnership.  The  Partnership  has
     designated  its portfolio of  marketable  securities as available for sale.
     Accordingly, at March 31, 1996, the Partnership has recorded the marketable
     securities  at fair  value,  based upon the  closing  quoted  prices of the
     securities at March 31, 1996, and has recorded a  corresponding  unrealized
     gain totaling $409,000 as a credit to Partnership equity.

6.   In 1995, the Partnership  prepaid eight months of 1996 management fees at a
     total  cost of  $265,000.  The  Partnership  expensed  $99,000  of the 1996
     prepaid  management  fees for the three months  ended March 31,  1996.  The
     balance of prepaid management fees,  $166,000,  is included in other assets
     in the Balance Sheet at March 31, 1996.

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


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

     Three months ended March 31, 1996  compared to three months ended March 31,
1995:

     The  Partnership's net income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was
$375,000  compared  to  $290,000  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1995,
representing  an increase of $85,000 or 29%.  The increase is primarily a result
of increased  operating results at the Partnership's  mini-warehouse  facilities
combined with decreased interest expense.

     Rental income was  $1,783,000  compared to $1,700,000  for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, representing an increase of $83,000
or 5%. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in rental rates at
the  Partnership's  mini-warehouse  facilities.  The weighted average  occupancy
levels at the mini-warehouse facilities were 84% for both the three months ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995.  Realized rent per occupied  square foot increased from
$.78 for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1995 to $.79 for the three  months
ended March 31, 1996.

     Other  income  decreased  $44,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996
compared  to the same period in 1995.  This  decrease  is  primarily  due to the
recognition  of the  remaining  business  interruption  income of $49,000 in the
first quarter of 1995 on a  mini-warehouse  facility  located in Miami,  Florida
which was damaged by Hurricane Andrew in August 1992.


     Dividend income from marketable  securities of affiliate  increased  $5,000
for the three  months  ended March 31, 1996  compared to the same period in 1995
due to an  increase in the number of shares  owned in 1996  compared to the same
period in 1995.

     Cost of operations (including management fees paid to affiliate) was stable
for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.

     In 1995, the  Partnership  prepaid eight months of 1996  management fees on
its  mini-warehouse  operations (based on the management fees for the comparable
period during the calendar year immediately preceding the prepayment) discounted
at the rate of 14% per year to compensate  for early  payment.  During the three
month period ended March 31, 1996, the Partnership  expensed  $99,000 of prepaid
management fees. The amount is shown as management fees paid to affiliate in the
condensed  statements of income. As a result of the prepayment,  the Partnership
saved approximately $8,000 in management fees, based on the management fees that
would have been  payable on rental  income  generated  in the three months ended
March 31, 1996 compared to the amount prepaid.

     Interest  expense  decreased  $24,000 for the three  months ended March 31,
1996  compared to the same period in 1995 due  primarily to a lower  outstanding
loan balance in 1996 over 1995.

     In 1995, the Partnership incurred cost of $25,000 to conduct  environmental
assessments  of its  properties to evaluate the  environmental  condition of and
potential  environmental  liabilities of such properties.  Those assessments did
not indicate any environmental  contamination of any of its property sites which
individually or in the aggregate would be material to the Partnership's  overall
business,  financial  condition,  or  results  of  operations.  No such cost was
incurred in 1996.

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

     Cash flows from operating  activities  ($778,000 for the three months ended
March 31,  1996) have been  sufficient  to meet all current  obligations  of the
Partnership.

     At March 31, 1996,  the  Partnership  held  297,130  shares of common stock
(marketable  securities)  with a fair value totaling  $6,054,000  (cost basis of
$3,791,000 at March 31, 1996) in Public Storage, Inc. The Partnership recognized
$65,000 in dividends for the three months ended March 31, 1996.

     In the third quarter of 1991, quarterly  distributions were discontinued to
enable the Partnership to make principal  payments that commenced in 1990 and to
increase  cash  reserves in  subsequent  years  through  1998, at which time the
remaining principal balance is due.
