                     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.       Marketable  securities  at June 30, 2000  consist of 381,980  shares of
         common  stock and  12,412  shares of Equity  Stock,  Series A of Public
         Storage,  Inc., a publicly  traded real estate  investment  trust and a
         general partner of the Partnership. We have designated our portfolio of
         marketable securities as available for sale.  Accordingly,  at June 30,
         2000, we have recorded the marketable  securities at fair value,  based
         upon the closing  quoted  prices of the  securities  at June 30,  2000.
         Changes in market  value of  marketable  securities  are  reflected  as
         unrealized gains or losses directly in Partners' Equity and accordingly
         have no effect on net income.

5.       During September 1998, we borrowed  $21,000,000 from a commercial bank.
         The loan is  unsecured  and  bears  interest  at the  London  Interbank
         Offering Rate,  ("LIBOR") rounded up to the nearest .125% plus 0.60% to
         1.20%  depending  on our  interest  coverage  ratio  (7.35% at June 30,
         2000).  The loan  requires  monthly  payments  of  interest  and mature
         September 2002. Principal may be paid, in whole or in part, at any time
         without penalty or premium.

5.       (continued)
         We have  entered  into an interest  rate swap  agreement  to reduce the
         impact of changes in interest  rates on a portion of its floating  rate
         debt.  The  agreement,  which covers  $11,500,000 of debt through March
         2000 and $7,500,000 from March 2000 through September 2000, effectively
         changes the interest  rate  exposure from floating rate to a fixed rate
         of 5.22%  plus  0.60% to 1.20%  based on our  interest  coverage  ratio
         (5.82% as of June 30,  2000).  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 $35,000.

6.       We sold during May 2000 excess  land  adjacent to one of our  operating
         properties  for  $305,000.  This  resulted  in a gain of $61,000  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  $2,620,000
compared to $2,287,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999,  representing  an
increase of $333,000 or 15%.  Our net income for the three months ended June 30,
2000 was  $1,336,000  compared to $1,189,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1999, representing an increase of $147,000 or 12%. These increases are primarily
a result of  increased  operating  results at our real estate  facilities  and a
decrease in interest expense resulting from our lower outstanding debt.

         Rental  income for the six months  ended June 30,  2000 was  $4,692,000
compared to $4,534,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999,  representing  an
increase of $158,000 or 3%.  Rental  income for the three  months ended June 30,
2000 was  $2,356,000  compared to $2,295,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1999,  representing  an increase of $61,000 or 3%. These increases are primarily
attributable  to  higher  rental  rates at our  mini-warehouse  facilities.  The
weighted average occupancy levels at the mini-warehouse  facilities were 93% for
each of the six  months  ended  June  30,  2000 and  1999  respectively.  Annual
realized  rent for the six months  ended June 30, 2000  increased  to $11.51 per
occupied  square  foot from $11.05 per  occupied  square foot for the six months
ended June 30, 1999.

         Interest  and other  income  decreased  $2,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2000  compared to the same period in 1999.  The decrease is primarily a
result of the increase in the pay down of the  Partnership  note  payable  which
resulted in lower cash balances and consequently less interest earned.

                                       8

<PAGE>

         Dividend  income from  marketable  securities  of  affiliate  increased
$14,000 for the six months  ended June 30,  2000  compared to the same period in
1999.  The  increase is equal to the  dividends  received on the Public  Storage
Equity Stock, Series A which we received as a stock dividend in January 2000.

         Cost of operations  (including  management  fees paid to affiliate) for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $1,383,000 compared to $1,326,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1999,  representing an increase of $57,000 or 4%. Cost
of operations (including management fees paid to affiliate) for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 was $714,000 compared to $655,000 for the three months ended
June 30,  1999,  representing  an increase  of $59,000 or 9%.  This  increase is
mainly attributable to increases in advertising and promotion  expenses,  tenant
and legal settlements, and repairs and maintenance expense.

         Interest  expense was  $388,000  in the six months  ended June 30, 2000
compared to $554,000  in the same  period in 1999,  a $166,000 or 30%  decrease.
This decrease is mainly attributable to a lower outstanding principal balance.

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

         Cash flows from  operating  activities  ($3,194,000  for the six months
ended June 30, 2000) have been sufficient to meet all current obligations of the
Partnership.

         During September 1998, we borrowed  $21,000,000 from a commercial bank.
The loan is unsecured and bears interest at the London  Interbank  Offering Rate
("LIBOR")  rounded up to the nearest .125% plus 0.60% to 1.20%  depending on our
interest  coverage  ratio (7.35% at June 30, 2000).  The loan  requires  monthly
payments of interest and matures September 2002. Principal may be paid, in whole
or in part, at any time without penalty or premium.

         We have  entered  into an interest  rate swap  agreement  to reduce the
impact of changes in interest  rates on a portion of its floating rate debt. The
agreement,  which covers  $11,500,000  of debt through March 2000 and $7,500,000
from March 2000 through  September 2000,  effectively  changes the interest rate
exposure  from  floating rate to a fixed rate of 5.22% plus 0.60% to 1.20% based
on our interest  coverage  ratio (5.82% as of June 30,  2000).  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 $35,000.
