                                   (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 June 30,  1996,  the  results  of its  operations  for the three and six
     months  ended June 30,  1996 and 1995 and its cash flows for the six months
     then ended.

3.   The results of operations  for the three and six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 1996, the Partnership has recorded the marketable
     securities  at fair  value,  based upon the  closing  quoted  prices of the
     securities at June 30, 1996, and a  corresponding  unrealized gain totaling
     $483,000 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  $198,000  of the 1996
     prepaid management fees for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The balance
     of prepaid  management  fees,  $67,000,  is included in other assets in the
     Balance Sheet at June 30, 1996.

7.   In 1993, the Partnership  reached a settlement  with its insurance  carrier
     for  damage  sustained  to the  property  located  in Miami,  Florida  from
     Hurricane  Andrew in August 1992 and for  business  interruption  while the
     facility was being  reconstructed.  The settlement provided for the payment
     of  $2,987,000  consisting of (i)  reconstruction  and related costs of the
     facility and (ii) business  interruption.  The insurance  proceeds received
     with  respect to  reconstruction  were  recorded  on the  balance  sheet as
     "Advances to reconstruct  real estate facility" and has been reduced by the
     amount of actual  costs  paid with  respect  to the  reconstruction  of the
     facility.  The  facility  recommenced  operations  in October  1994 and the
     reconstruction of the facility was completed in the second quarter of 1995.
     The balance of $236,000 in Advances to Reconstruct Real Estate Facility was
     recognized as income  during the second  quarter of 1995 and is included in
     Other income on the Condensed Statements of Income.

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


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

     Three and six months  ended June 30, 1996  compared to three and six months
ended June 30, 1995:

     The  Partnership's  net income for the six months  ended June 30,  1996 and
1995 was $809,000 and $861,000, respectively, representing a decrease of $52,000
or 6%. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 was $434,000
and  $571,000,  respectively,  representing  a decrease of $137,000 or 24%.  The
decrease for the three months  ended June 30, 1996 is  primarily  attributed  to
$236,000  of income  recognized  in the  second  quarter  of 1995 as a result of
actual  cost being  lower than  amounts  received  from  insurance  proceeds  to
reconstruct a real estate facility located in Miami, Florida,  which was damaged
by  Hurricane  Andrew  in August  1992  (see  Note 7 in the  Notes to  Condensed
Financial Statements).  Partially offsetting the decrease in net income for both
the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 is an increase in operating results
at the Partnership's  mini-warehouse facilities combined with decreased interest
expense.

     Rental  income was  $3,622,000  compared to  $3,459,000  for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, representing an increase of $163,000
or 5%. Rental income was $1,839,000  compared to $1,759,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively,  representing an increase of $80,000
or 11%. These increases are primarily  attributable to increases in rental rates
and  occupancy  levels  at  the  Partnership's  mini-warehouse  facilities.  The
weighted average occupancy levels at the mini-warehouse  facilities were 87% and
84% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Realized rent
for the six months ended June 30, 1996  increased  to $.79 per  occupied  square
foot from $.78 per occupied square foot for the six months ended June 30, 1995.

     Other income  decreased  $229,000 and $272,000 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1996,  respectively,  compared to the same periods in 1995. These
decreases are primarily due to the recognition of $236,000 in income from unused
insurance proceeds, as discussed above, combined with the recognition of $49,000
of business interruption income in the first quarter of 1995.

     Dividend income from marketable  securities of affiliate  increased $10,000
and  $6,000  for  the  six  and  three  month   periods  ended  June  30,  1996,
respectively,  compared  to the  same  periods  in  1995.  These  increases  are
attributable  to an increase in the number of shares  owned in 1996  compared to
the same periods in 1995.

     Cost of operations  (including  management fees paid to affiliate) remained
stable for the six months  ended June 30,  1996  compared  to the same period in
1995.  Cost of  operations  increased  $3,000 to $547,000  from $544,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  These  increases  are
mainly attributable to increases in utilities and repairs and maintenance costs,
partially  offset by  decreases  in  management  fees paid to an  affiliate  and
security expenses.

     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 six
month period ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership  expensed  $198,000 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  $19,000 in management  fees,  based on the management fees
that would have been payable on rental income  generated in the six months ended
June 30, 1996 compared to the amount prepaid.

     Interest expense  decreased  $48,000 for the six months ended June 30, 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  ($1,479,000 for the six months ended
June 30,  1996) have been  sufficient  to meet all  current  obligations  of the
Partnership, including principal repayments of the Partnership's note payable.

     At June 30,  1996,  the  Partnership  held  297,130  shares of common stock
(marketable  securities)  with a fair value totaling  $6,128,000  (cost basis of
$3,791,000 at June 30, 1996) in Public Storage, Inc. The Partnership  recognized
$131,000 in dividends for the six months ended June 30, 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.
