                              PUBLIC STORAGE, INC.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 March 31, 1996

1. Description of the business
   ---------------------------

     Public Storage, Inc. (the "Company") is a California  corporation which was
organized  in 1980.  The Company is a fully  integrated,  self-administered  and
self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") that acquires, develops, owns
and operates  self-service  mini-warehouse  facilities which offer  self-storage
spaces for lease,  usually on a month-to-month  basis, for personal and business
use. The Company,  to a lesser  extent,  also owns and  operates  business  park
facilities containing commercial and industrial rental space.

     Prior to November 16, 1995, the Company's operations were managed, pursuant
to contractual  arrangements,  by Public Storage Advisers, Inc. (the "Adviser"),
the Company's  investment advisor, by Public Storage Management,  Inc. ("PSMI"),
its mini-warehouse property operator and by Public Storage Commercial Properties
Group, Inc. ("PSCP"), its business park facility operator.

     On November 16, 1995, in a series of mergers among PSMI and its affiliates,
culminating  in the merger of PSMI into the  Company  (the "PSMI  Merger"),  the
Company became self-administered and self-managed and acquired substantially all
of the United  States real estate  operations  of PSMI.  As a result of the PSMI
Merger,  the Company's  name was changed from Storage  Equities,  Inc. to Public
Storage, Inc.

     The  Company  invests  in real  estate  facilities  primarily  through  the
acquisition of wholly-owned  facilities  combined with the acquisition of equity
interests in real estate  entities owning real estate  facilities.  At March 31,
1996, the Company had direct and indirect equity  interests in 1,065  properties
located in 37 states, including 1,030 mini-warehouse  facilities and 35 business
parks.  All of these  facilities  are operated by the Company  under the "Public
Storage"  name.  In addition,  the Company  operates  real estate  facilities on
behalf  of  various   ownership   entities,   substantially  all  of  which  are
partnerships and REITs in which the Company has an ownership interest.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies
   ------------------------------------------

     Basis of presentation
     ---------------------

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting  principles for
interim financial  information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10
of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the information and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals)  considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.  Operating  results for the three months ended March 31, 1996 are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected  for the year
ended  December 31, 1996.  For further  information,  refer to the  consolidated
financial  statements  and footnotes  thereto  included in the Company's  annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

     The consolidated  financial statements include the accounts of the Company,
majority  owned   subsidiaries,   and  twenty-one   limited   partnerships  (the
"Consolidated  Partnerships")  in which the  Company  has  significant  economic
interest and is able to exercise  significant  control  through its ownership of
limited  and general  partnership  interests.  The Company and the  Consolidated
Partnerships  own a total of 598 real  estate  facilities  (307  which are owned
wholly by the Company) consisting of 576 mini-warehouses and 22 business parks.

     The  Consolidated  Partnerships  principally  consist  of a series of eight
partnerships  owning a total of 240 real  estate  facilities,  211 of which  are
owned  jointly  between the  partnerships  and the Company.  During 1995 and the
first quarter of 1996, the Company increased its ownership  interest and control
in the  remaining  thirteen  Consolidated  Partnerships,  and as a  result,  the
accounts of these partnerships have been included in the Company's  consolidated
financial statements.


                                       6
<PAGE>
     Basis of presentation
     ---------------------
     The  Company's   aggregate  cost  of  its  interests  in  the  Consolidated
Partnerships  is less than the historical  carrying amount of the underlying net
assets  of the  Consolidated  Partnerships.  In  consolidation,  the  difference
between the Company's cost and the  historical  carrying value of the underlying
properties  has  been  allocated  to the  real  estate  facilities  and is being
amortized over the remaining lives of the real estate facilities.

     The Company also has equity  investments in limited  partnerships and other
REITs owning in aggregate 467 real estate facilities (454 mini-warehouses and 13
business park facilities).  Substantially all of these investments are accounted
for using the equity method.

     Income taxes
     ------------
     For all taxable years subsequent to 1980, the Company qualified and intends
to  continue  to qualify as a REIT,  as defined in Section  856 of the  Internal
Revenue Code. As a REIT, the Company is not taxed on that portion of its taxable
income which is distributed to its shareholders  provided that the Company meets
certain  tests.  The  Company  believes it will meet these  tests  during  1996,
accordingly,  no provision  for income  taxes has been made in the  accompanying
financial statements.

     Allowance for possible losses
     -----------------------------
     The Company has no  allowance  for possible  losses  relating to any of its
real estate investments,  including mortgage notes receivable. The need for such
an  allowance is evaluated  by  management  by means of periodic  reviews of its
investment portfolio.

     Cash and cash equivalents
     -------------------------
     For purposes of financial statement presentation, the Company considers all
highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less
to be cash equivalents.

     Depreciation
     ------------
     Depreciation is computed using the straight-line  method over the estimated
useful lives of the buildings and  improvements,  which are generally  between 5
and 25 years.

     Intangible assets
     -----------------
     Intangible assets consist of property management  contracts  ($165,000,000)
and the cost over the fair value of net  tangible  and  identifiable  intangible
assets  ($67,726,000)  acquired  in  the  PSMI  Merger.  Intangible  assets  are
amortized  straight-line over 25 years. At March 31, 1996, intangible assets are
net of accumulated amortization of $3,491,000 ($1,164,000 at December 31, 1995).
Included in  depreciation  and  amortization  expense for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 is $2,327,000  related to the  amortization of intangible  assets
(none for the three months ended March 31, 1995).


                                       7
<PAGE>
     Net income per common share
     ---------------------------
     Net income per common share is computed  using the weighted  average common
shares  outstanding  (adjusted for stock options).  The inclusion of the Class B
Common  Stock  in the  determination  of  earnings  per  common  share  has been
determined to be anti-dilutive  (after giving effect to the pro forma additional
income required to satisfy certain contingencies required for the Class B common
stock to convert into common stock) and accordingly, the conversion of the Class
B common stock into common stock has not been assumed.

     The  Company's  preferred  stocks were  determined  not to be common  stock
equivalents.  In computing earnings per common share,  preferred stock dividends
reduced income available to common stockholders.

     Fully  diluted  earnings  per  common  are not  presented,  as the  assumed
conversion of the Company's convertible preferred stock would be anti-dilutive.

     Revenue/expense recognition
     ---------------------------
     Property rents are recognized as earned.  Equity in earnings of real estate
entities  are  recognized  based  on the  Company's  ownership  interest  in the
earnings of each of the unconsolidated real estate entities. Leasing commissions
relating to the business park operations are expensed as incurred.

3.  Business combinations
    -----------------------

     On March 26, 1996, the Company completed separate merger  transactions with
Public Storage Properties IX, Inc.  ("Properties 9") and Public Storage Business
Parks,  Inc.  ("PSBP"),  respectively,  whereby  the  Company  acquired  all the
outstanding stock of Properties 9 and PSBP in exchange for cash and common stock
of the Company.  Properties 9 and PSBP were REITs and affiliates of the Company.
Properties 9 owned and  operated 14  mini-warehouses  and one business  park and
PSBP owned and operated one business  park.  The aggregate  acquisition  cost of
Properties  9 was  $47,563,000,  consisting  of the  issuance of common  stock -
$24,719,0000,  cash - $9,907,000  and the Company's  pre-existing  investment in
Properties  9 of  $12,937,000.  The  aggregate  acquisition  cost  of  PSBP  was
$11,305,000,  consisting of the issuance of common stock -  $5,249,0000,  cash -
$2,719,000 and the Company's pre-existing investment in PSBP of $3,337,000.

     During the first quarter of 1996, the Company acquired approximately 64% of
the  limited  partnership  units  of an  affiliated  partnership  which  owns 28
mini-warehouse   facilities  for   approximately   $41,080,000  in  cash.   This
acquisition combined with the Company's existing general partnership interest in
the partnership  significantly  increased the Company's  ownership  interest and
control of the  partnership  and, as a result,  the Company began to consolidate
the accounts of this partnership for financial statement purposes.

     Each of the  above  transactions  has  been  accounted  for as a  purchase;
accordingly,  allocations  of the  total  acquisition  cost  to the  net  assets
acquired were made based on the fair value of such assets and  liabilities as of
the dates of each respective  transaction.  The fair market values of the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed with respect to the transactions are summarized
as follows:

     The historical  operating results of the above business  combinations prior
to each  respective  acquisition  date have not been  included in the  Company's
historical  operating  results  and on a pro forma  basis  would not  materially
effect   reported   revenues,   net  income  or  earnings   per  common   share.



4.  Real estate facilities
    ----------------------

     In addition to the 44 real estate  facilities  acquired in connection  with
business acquisitions,  the Company acquired 13 mini-warehouse facilities during
the first quarter of 1996 for an aggregate  cost of  $75,355,000,  consisting of
the cancellation of mortgage notes receivable totaling $700,000,  the assumption
of mortgage notes payable totaling $1,701,000 and cash totaling $72,954,000.

     During  the first  quarter  of 1996,  the  Company  expended  approximately
$4,396,000 constructing seven mini-warehouse  facilities,  one of which has been
completed  and put into  operation  during  March 1996.  Included in real estate
facilities at March 31, 1996 is approximately $7,799,000 of costs related to the
remaining six facilities under construction.

5.  Investments in real estate entities
    -----------------------------------

     The  Company's  investment  in real  estate  entities  at March  31,  1996,
generally consists of limited and general  partnership  interests in real estate
limited  partnerships in  approximately  46 partnerships  and common stock in 14
REITs. Such interests consists generally of ownership interests ranging from 15%
to 45% and are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly,
earnings  are  recognized  by the  Company  based upon the  Company's  ownership
interest in each of the partnerships and REITs.  Provisions of the agreements of
the   partnerships   and  REITs  provide  for  the  payment  of  preferred  cash
distributions  to other  investors  (until certain  specified  amounts have been
paid) without regard to the pro rata interest of investors in current earnings.

     During the three  months  ended  March 31,  1996,  the  Company  recognized
earnings  from its  investments  of $4,611,000  and received cash  distributions
totaling $3,626,000.  Included in equity in earnings of real estate entities for
the three months  ended March 31, 1996 is the  Company's  share of  depreciation
expense  totaling  $4,494,000   (including   amortization  totaling  $2,094,000,
representing  the  amortization  of the Company's cost basis over the underlying
book value of the Company's equity interest in each of the entities).

6.  Mortgage notes receivable from affiliates
    -----------------------------------------

     At March 31, 1996,  mortgage notes receivable balance of $26,347,000 is net
of related  discounts  totaling  $380,000.  The mortgage  notes bear interest at
stated  rates  ranging  from 7.4% to 14.0% and are secured by 14  mini-warehouse
facilities owned by affiliated partnerships.

                                    9
<PAGE>

     During the first quarter of 1996, the Company canceled mortgage notes which
had a net  carrying  value of  $700,000 as part of the  acquisition  cost of the
underlying real estate facility securing the mortgage note.

7.  Minority interest
    -----------------

     In consolidation,  the Company classifies outsiders' ownership interests in
the net assets of each of the Consolidated  Partnerships as minority interest on
the Company's  consolidated  financial  statements.  Minority interest in income
consists  of such  outsiders'  share of the  operating  results  of the  Company
relating to the consolidated operations of the Consolidated Partnerships.

     During 1996, in connection  with a business  combination  (Note 3) minority
interest was increased by  $17,510,000,  representing  the  remaining  partners'
equity interests in the aggregate net assets of the partnership.

     During 1996 the  Company  acquired  limited  partnership  interests  in the
Consolidated  Partnerships for an aggregate cost of $655,000. These transactions
had the effect of reducing  minority  interest by  approximately  $201,000  (the
historical  book value of such  interests  in the  underlying  net assets of the
partnerships).  The excess of the underlying book value over cost ($454,000) has
been allocated to real estate facilities in consolidation.

8.  Shareholders' equity
    --------------------

     Preferred stock
     ---------------
     At March 31, 1996 and  December  31,  1995,  the Company had the  following
series of Preferred Stock outstanding:

</TABLE>

     The carrying amounts are equivalent to the liquidation preference, with the
exception of the Mandatory Convertible Participating Preferred Stock which has a
liquidation preference equal to $31,200,000.

     On January  25,  1996,  the  Company  issued  6,750,000  depository  shares
(depository shares, each representing  1/1,000 of a share) of its 8.45% Series H
Preferred Stock raising net proceeds of approximately $163.1 million.

                                       10
<PAGE>

     The Mandatory Convertible  Participating Preferred Stock will automatically
convert  into common  stock of the  Company,  however,  prior to that time it is
convertible  at the option of the holder.  At  conversion,  the number of common
shares to be issued to the holder will be  determined  based upon the  Company's
acquired  partnership interest in the then aggregate property values of the real
estate  partnership  divided by the average market price of the Company's common
stock (if  converted  prior to June 30, 2000 the lesser of $18.00 or the average
market price of the Company's common stock will be used). At March 31, 1996, the
Mandatory  Convertible   Participating  Preferred  Stock  was  convertible  into
approximately 1,523,619 shares of the Company's common stock.

     The Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the option of
the  holders  of such  stock  into  shares of the  Company's  common  stock at a
conversion  rate of 1.6835 shares of common stock for each share of  Convertible
Preferred  Stock,  subject to  adjustment in certain  circumstances.  During the
first quarter of 1996, at the option of  shareholders,  a total of 14,600 shares
of Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 24,376 common shares.

     The Series A,  Series B,  Series C, Series D, Series E, Series F, Series G,
and Series H (collectively the "Cumulative Senior Preferred Stock") have general
preference rights with respect to liquidation and quarterly distributions.  With
respect  to  the  payment  of  dividends  and  amounts  upon  liquidation,   the
Convertible Preferred Stock (including the Mandatory  Convertible  Participating
Preferred  Stock) ranks junior to the Cumulative  Senior Preferred Stock and any
other  shares of  preferred  stock of the  Company  ranking on a parity  with or
senior to the Cumulative Senior Preferred Stock. The Convertible Preferred Stock
ranks senior to the common stock,  any additional  class of common stock and any
series of preferred  stock  expressly made junior to the  Convertible  Preferred
Stock. The Mandatory Convertible Participating Preferred Stock has voting rights
on a share for share basis as the common stock.

     In April 1996, in connection  with the  acquisition of limited  partnership
interests,  the Company issued  $58,955,000  (58,955  shares) of its Convertible
Preferred  Stock,  Series CC (the  "Series CC Preferred  Stock").  The Series CC
Preferred Stock ranks junior to the Company's  Cumulative Senior Preferred Stock
with respect to general  preference rights and has a liquidation value of $1,000
per share. Other significant terms of the Series CC Preferred Stock include: (i)
quarterly  distributions equal to $32.50 per share, (ii) conversion,  at anytime
at the option of the holder,  into common  stock of the Company at a  conversion
price of 35.014  shares of common  stock for each  share of Series CC  Preferred
Stock, and (iii) on March 31, 2000 will automatically  convert into common stock
of the Company at the conversion price described above.

     Common stock
     ------------
     During  1996,  the  Company  issued  shares of its common as  follows:  (i)
1,416,883  shares  ($29,968,000)  in  connection  with the mergers,  (ii) 24,376
shares  ($365,000) in connection  with the conversion of  Convertible  Preferred
Stock into common stock,  and (iii) 63,498 shares  ($625,000) in connection with
exercise of stock options.  The shares of common stock issued in connection with
the mergers were issued at the prevailing market price at the time of issuance.

     Class B Common Stock
     --------------------
     The Class B Common Stock will (i) not  participate in  distributions  until
the later to occur of funds from operations  ("FFO") per Common Share as defined
below,  aggregating  $1.80  during  any  period  of  four  consecutive  calendar
quarters,  or  January  1,  2000;  thereafter,  the  Class B Common  Stock  will
participate in distributions (other than liquidating distributions), at the rate
of 97% of the  per  share  distributions  on the  Common  Stock,  provided  that
cumulative  distributions of at least $0.22 per quarter per share have been paid
on the Common Stock,  (ii) not participate in liquidating  distributions,  (iii)
not be entitled to vote (except as  expressly  required by  California  law) and
(iv)  automatically  convert into Common Stock, on a share for share basis, upon
the later to occur of FFO per Common Share  aggregating  $3.00 during any period
of four consecutive calendar quarters or January 1, 2003.

     For these  purposes FFO,  means net income  (loss)  (computed in accordance
with generally accepted  accounting  principles) before (i) gain (loss) on early
extinguishment  of debt, (ii) minority  interest in income and (iii) gain (loss)
on disposition of real estate,  adjusted as follows:  (i) plus  depreciation and
amortization  (including  the  Company's  pro-rata  share  of  depreciation  and
amortization  of  unconsolidated  equity  interests and  amortization  of assets
acquired in the Merger,  including property management agreements and goodwill),
and (ii) less FFO attributable to minority interest.


                                       11
<PAGE>

     For these  purposes,  FFO per Common Share means FFO less  preferred  stock
dividends  (other than dividends on convertible  preferred stock) divided by the
outstanding  weighted average shares of Common Stock assuming  conversion of all
outstanding convertible securities and the Class B Common Stock.

     For these  purposes,  FFO per share of Common  Stock (as defined) was $1.74
for the four consecutive calendar quarters ended March 31, 1996.

     Dividends
     ---------
     The dividend rate on the Series C Preferred  Stock for the first quarter of
1996 was equal to 6.75% per annum.  The dividend rate per annum will be adjusted
quarterly and will be equal to the highest of one of three U.S. Treasury indices
(Treasury Bill Rate,  Ten Year Constant  Maturity Rate, and Thirty Year Constant
Maturity Rate) multiplied by 110%.  However,  the dividend rate for any dividend
period will not be less than 6.75% per annum nor greater than 10.75%.

     The  Mandatory  Convertible  Participating  Preferred  Stock was  issued in
connection  with the  acquisition  of limited  partnership  interests  in a real
estate limited  partnership.  Quarterly  dividends on the Mandatory  Convertible
Participating  Preferred  Stock vary depending on operating  results of the real
estate  facilities of the partnership.  For the first eight quarters,  dividends
are equal to $390,000  plus the  Company's  acquired  interest in property  cash
flows, as defined, in excess of a base amount of $45,000.  Thereafter  quarterly
dividends  will be equal to $390,000  plus the  Company's  acquired  interest in
property cash flows, as defined, in excess of a base amount of $525,000.

     The following summarizes dividends paid during the first quarter of 1996:

9.  Proposed Merger
    ---------------

     In March 1996, the Company and Storage Properties, Inc. ("SPI"), a publicly
traded  equity  real  estate   investment  trust  agreed,   subject  to  certain
conditions,  to merge.  Upon the merger,  each  outstanding  share of SPI common
stock would be  converted,  at the  election of the  shareholders  of SPI,  into
either  shares of the  Company's  common  stock with a market value of $7.31 or,
with  respect  to up to 20% of the SPI  common  stock,  $7.31 in  cash.  SPI has
3,348,167  outstanding  shares of common stock and an  estimated  value of $24.5
million.  The merger  agreement is  conditioned  on,  among other  requirements,
receipt  of  satisfactory   fairness   opinions  by  SPI  and  approval  by  the
shareholders  of SPI.  The  Company  has an  advisory  agreement  and a property
management agreement with SPI. SPI owns seven mini-warehouses.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------


     OVERVIEW:   Over  the  past  year,  the  Company   completed  a  number  of
transactions  which have had and will continue to have significant impact to the
Company.

*    From  January 1, 1995  through  March 31,  1996,  the number of real estate
     facilities included in the Company's  consolidated financial statements has
     increased from 387 facilities to 598  facilities.  In addition,  during the
     same  period,  principally  as a result of the PSMI  Merger (see below) the
     Company  increased its  ownership  interest in  unconsolidated  real estate
     entities  from those owning in aggregate 15  facilities  to those owning in
     aggregate 467 facilities,

*    Since January 1, 1995, the Company  completed four mergers with  affiliated
     REITs,  two in 1995 with an aggregate cost of $135.4 million and two at the
     end of March 1996 with an aggregate cost of $58.9 million,

*    On November 16, 1995, the Company  completed the merger with Public Storage
     Management,  Inc. ("PSMI") with an aggregate cost of $549.3 million. In the
     PSMI Merger,  the Company acquired all the real estate  operations of PSMI,
     including  (i)  general  and limited  partnership  interests  in 47 limited
     partnerships  owning an  aggregate of 286  mini-warehouses,  (ii) shares of
     common stock in 16 REITs owning an aggregate of 218  mini-warehouses and 14
     commercial   properties,   (iii)  seven   wholly-owned   properties,   (iv)
     all-inclusive deeds of trust secured by ten  mini-warehouses,  (v) property
     management contracts, exclusive of facilities owned by the Company, for 563
     mini-warehouses  and  through  ownership  of  95%  economic  interest  in a
     subsidiary,  24 commercial  properties and (vi) a 95% economic  interest in
     another  subsidiary that currently sells locks and boxes in mini-warehouses
     operated by the Company.

     The PSMI Merger not only doubled the size of the Company and  significantly
expanded the Company's  ownership interest in mini-warehouse  facilities it also
provided the  following  benefits:  (i) the Company  became a  fully-integrated,
self-advised and  self-managed  commercial real estate company with expertise in
development, construction, acquisition, operation and leasing services, (ii) the
Company  is now able to expand its  property  holdings  without a  proportionate
increase in advisory and property management fees, which would have resulted had
its current  advisory  contract and  management  agreements  remained in effect,
(iii) conflicts of interest  between the Company and its executive  officers and
directors who were also affiliated with PSMI were reduced,  and (iv) the Company
significantly  increased  it  ownership  interest in the real estate  facilities
operated under the "Public Storage" name.

     Results of Operations
     ---------------------

     Three months ended March 31, 1996  compared to the three months ended March
31, 1995
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Net  income  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1996 was  $32,341,000
compared to $13,200,000 for the same period in 1995, representing an increase of
$19,141,000.   Net  income  allocable  to  common   shareholders   increased  to
$17,175,000  for the three months ended March 31, 1996 from  $7,224,000  for the
three months ended March 31,  1995.  The  increases in net income and net income
allocable to common  shareholders were primarily the result of improved property
operations, the acquisition of additional real estate facilities during 1996 and
1995, and the acquisition of additional  partnership  interests  during 1996 and
1995. Net income per common share was $0.24 per share (based on weighted average
shares  outstanding  of  71,666,000)  for the three  months ended March 31, 1996
compared to $0.24 per share (based on weighted  average  shares  outstanding  of
30,567,000) for the same period in 1995.

     PROPERTY OPERATIONS:  Rental income and cost of operations presented on the
consolidated  statements of income  reflect the operations of the 598 properties
owned by the Company and the  Consolidated  Partnerships.  The  following  table
summarizes the operating results of these facilities:

</TABLE>
     (a) During  1995,  the  Company  became  self-managed  with  respect to its
         property operations and accordingly no longer incurs property 
         management fees.


     The  significant   increase  in  property   operations  for  the  Company's
mini-warehouses  and  business  park  facilities  are  principally  due  to  the
acquisition of additional facilities during 1996 and 1995. At March 31, 1996 the
property  operations  consisted  of the  operating  results  of  598  facilities
compared to 437 for the same period in 1995. For comparative  purposes,  a total
of 373 mini-warehouse  facilities (included in the above table) have been in the
Company's  portfolio  throughout  1995 and 1996. The operating  results  (rental
income less cost of operations) of these facilities improved 3.30% for the three
months  ended  March 31,  1996 as  compared  to the same  period  in 1995.  This
increase is principally due to improve rental rates, as average realized monthly
rent per square  foot  increased  from $0.63 in 1995 to $0.65 in 1996.  Weighted
average  occupancy  levels for these 373 facilities  remained  stable at 88% for
both 1995 and 1996.

     The  increase in property  operations  with  respect to the  business  park
facilities is principally due to the  acquisition of facilities  during 1996 and
1995. Excluding such acquisitions,  15 business park facilities have been in the
Company's  portfolio since the beginning of 1993. The operating  results (rental
income less cost of  operations)  of these 15 facilities  improved 2.64% for the
three months  ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995.  This
increase  is  principally  due to improved  rental  rates,  as average  realized
monthly  rent per square foot  increased  from $0.72 in 1995,  to $0.73 in 1996.
Weighted  average  occupancy levels for these 15 facilities were 96% in 1995 and
97% in 1996.


     EQUITY IN  EARNINGS  OF REAL  ESTATE  ENTITIES:  Equity in earnings of real
estate entities was $4,611,000 and $199,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1996 and  1995,  respectively.  For  1995,  equity in  earnings  of real  estate
entities  principally  consists  of  earnings  from  partnerships  which are now
consolidated with the Company and, accordingly, are no longer included in equity
in earnings of real estate entities.  The 1996 earnings  principally consists of
earnings  related to the  interests  acquired  pursuant to the PSMI Merger.  The
Company  currently has  ownership  interests in 46 limited  partnerships  and 14
REITs  (collectively the  "Unconsolidated  Entities").  The Company's  ownership
interest  in these  entities  ranges  from 15% to 45%,  but  generally  averages
approximately  30%. Due to the Company's limited ownership  interest and control
of these  entities,  the  Company  does not  consolidate  the  accounts of these
entities for financial reporting purposes.

                                       15
<PAGE>

     Similar to the Company, the Unconsolidated  Entities generate substantially
all of their income from their ownership of  mini-warehouse  facilities.  In the
aggregate,  the  Unconsolidated  Entities own a total of 467 facilities,  454 of
which are mini-warehouse facilities. The following summarizes combined operating
data with  respect to the  Unconsolidated  Entities  for the three  months ended
March 31, 1996:

 Rental income.........................................   $58,917,000
 Total revenues........................................    59,383,000
 Cost of operations....................................    22,164,000
 Depreciation..........................................     9,632,000
 Net income............................................    23,741,000

     Equity in earnings of real estate entities for three months ended March 31,
1996  consists  of the  Company's  pro rata  share of  earnings  (including  the
Company's  share of  depreciation  expense - $2,400,000)  of the  Unconsolidated
Entities based upon the Company's  ownership interest in each for the period. In
addition,  equity  in  earnings  of  real  estate  entities  for  1996  includes
amortization totaling $2,094,000  representing the amortization of the Company's
cost basis over the underlying  book value of the Company's  equity  interest in
each of the entities.

     The  Company  has in the past,  and may  continue to seek to acquire in the
future,  real estate  facilities owned by the  Unconsolidated  Entities.  During
1996, the Company made several  acquisitions  of entities which were included in
Unconsolidated  Entities  at  December  31,  1995:  (i) the  Company  acquired a
significant  interest in a partnership  and as a result began to consolidate the
accounts  of the  partnership  as of January 1,  1996,  (ii) on March 26,  1996,
pursuant to mergers, the Company acquired the net assets of two REITs, and (iii)
in April 1996, the Company acquired all of the limited  partnership  interest in
two  partnerships  which as of  April  1,  1996  will be  consolidated  with the
Company.


     PROPERTY  MANAGEMENT  OPERATIONS:  In connection with the PSMI Merger,  the
Company acquired property management contracts, exclusive of facilities owned by
the  Company,  for 563  mini-warehouses  and through  ownership  of 95% economic
interest in a subsidiary, 24 commercial properties.  These facilities constitute
all of the United States mini-warehouses and business parks doing business under
the "Public  Storage"  name and all those in which the Company has an  interest,
which  include  all  the  facilities  owned  by the  Consolidated  Partnerships,
Unconsolidated  Entities,  and 75 facilities owned by third parties in which the
Company has no equity interest.

     The property management  contracts generally provide for compensation equal
to 6%, in the case of the  mini-warehouses,  and 5%, in the case of the business
parks, of gross revenues of the facilities managed. Under the supervision of the
property owners,  the Company  coordinates  rental policies,  rent  collections,
marketing  activities,  the  purchase of  equipment  and  supplies,  maintenance
activity, and the selection and engagement of vendors, suppliers and independent
contractors. In addition, the Company assists and advises the property owners in
establishing  policies for the hire,  discharge and supervision of employees for
the  operation  of these  facilities,  including  resident  managers,  assistant
managers, relief managers and billing and maintenance personnel.

     During the three  months  ended  March 31,  1996,  the  Company's  property
management  operations  generated net operating income of $2,692,000 on revenues
of $3,760,000  and expenses of $1,068,000.  Because the Company has  significant
ownership  interests in all but 74 of the  facilities  it manages,  the revenues
generated from its property management  operations are generally predictable and
are dependent  upon the future growth of rental income for those  facilities the
Company manages.

     As noted  above,  the Company has in the past,  and may continue to seek to
acquire  in the  future,  real  estate  facilities  owned by the  Unconsolidated
Entities.  Acquisitions  of such  facilities  will have the  affect of  reducing
management  fee income with a  corresponding  reduction  in the cost of property
operations.

     INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME:  Interest and other income increased $1,862,000,
to $2,887,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 from  $1,025,000 for the
same period in 1995. Interest and other income principally  consists of interest
earning on cash balances and interest related to mortgage notes receivable.  The
significant  increase in interest  income is primarily due to interest income on
excess cash  balances.  From mid December  1995 through late January  1996,  the
Company, through two equity offerings, raised net proceeds of approximately $330
million.  Due to the timing to invest these  proceeds  into real estate  assets,
cash balances in interest  bearing  accounts during the first quarter on average
were approximately $110 million.

     DEPRECIATION AND  AMORTIZATION:  Depreciation and amortization  expense has
increased  from  $8,147,000  for  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1995 to
$14,592,000 for the same period in 1996.  These increases are principally due to
the  acquisition  of  additional  real  estate  facilities  during 1995 and 1996
combined with  amortization of intangible assets acquired in connection with the
PSMI Merger.  Amortization expense with respect to intangible assets acquired in
the PSMI Merger  totaled  $2,327,000  for the three  months ended March 31, 1996
(none for the three months ended March 31, 1995).

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE:  General and administrative expense was
$1,361,000  for the three  months ended March 31, 1996 and  $1,091,000  the same
period  in 1995.  The  Company  has  experienced  and  expects  to  continue  to
experience  increased  general and  administrative  costs during 1996 due to the
following:  (i) the growth in the size of the Company has  resulted in increased
expenses,  (ii) the Company's property  acquisition  activities has continued to
expand,  resulting in certain  additional  costs incurred in connection with the
acquisition of additional real estate facilities, and (iii) pursuant to the PSMI
Merger,  the  Company  has  become   self-advised,   resulting  in  the  Company
internalizing management functions which previously was provided by the Adviser.
However,  offsetting  the  expected  increases  in  general  and  administrative
expenses  will  be  the  elimination  of  advisory  fee  expense.   General  and
administrative  costs for each year  principally  consist of state  income taxes
(for states in which the Company is a non-resident), investor relation expenses,
and certain costs  incurred in the  acquisition  and  development of real estate
facilities.

     ADVISORY  FEE:  During  1995,  the  Company's  day-to-day  operations  were
performed by an adviser for a contractual  fee which during the first quarter of
1995 amounted to $1,610,000. Pursuant to the PSMI Merger, effective November 16,
1995,  the Company  became  self-advised  and as a result  will no longer  incur
advisory fees.

     MINORITY  INTEREST IN INCOME:  Minority  interest in income  represents the
income allocable to equity interests in the Consolidated  Partnerships which are
not owned by the Company. The minority interest in income was $2,339,000 in 1996
compared to  $1,823,000  in 1995,  representing  an increase of  $516,000.  This
increase is a result of the  consolidation  of partnerships  (and  corresponding
increase in minority  interest)  during the first quarter of 1996 which were not
consolidated  during  the  same  period  in 1995  resulting  in an  increase  of
$777,000,  partially  offset by a  $261,000  reduction  in income  allocable  to
minority  interest relating to partnerships  which were consolidated  throughout
each period.  In determining  income allocable to the minority  interest for the
three  months  ended  March 31,  1996 and 1995,  consolidated  depreciation  and
amortization expense of approximately $2,901,000, and $2,773,000,  respectively,
was allocated to the minority interest.


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

     The  Company  has  operated  and  intends  to  continue  to  operate  in  a
self-sufficient manner without reliance on external sources of financing to fund
its  ongoing  operating  needs.  The  Company  believes  that  funds  internally
generated from ongoing operations will continue to be sufficient to enable it to
meet its operating expenses, capital improvements, debt service requirements and
distributions  to shareholders for the foreseeable  future.  Over the past three
years, funds internally  generated from ongoing operations were in excess of the
Company's  operating  needs,  allowing the Company to retain cash flow, which it
used to invest in the acquisition of additional real estate  investments or make
optional principal repayments on debt.

                                       17
<PAGE>

     Despite  the  Company's  ability  to  retain a  portion  of its  internally
generated cash flow, the Company's  growth  strategies have required the Company
to  seek  external  financing.  The  Company  has an  unsecured  $125.0  million
revolving  credit  facility  with a group of banks  which it uses as a temporary
source of  acquisition  financing.  The Company,  however,  seeks to  ultimately
finance all acquisitions  with permanent  sources of capital.  As a result,  the
Company  has raised  capital  through  the public  issuance  of both  common and
preferred  stock  which  was  used  to  repay  borrowings  and  make  additional
investments in real estate assets.

     INTERNALLY  GENERATED  CASH FLOWS:  The  Company  believes  that  important
measures  of its  performance  as well as its  liquidity  are cash  provided  by
operations,  funds from operations  ("FFO") and the ability of these measures to
fund the Company's operating requirements (i.e. capital improvements,  principal
payments on debt, and distribution requirements).

     Net cash provided by operations (as determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting  principles)  reflects the cash generated from the Company's
business before distributions to various equity holders, including the preferred
shareholders,  capital expenditures or mandatory principal payments on debt. Net
cash provided by operations  has increased from  $23,130,000 to $53,742,000  for
the three months ended March 31 1995 and 1996, respectively

     The following  table  summarizes the Company's  ability to pay the minority
interests'  distributions,  its  dividends  to the  preferred  shareholders  and
capital improvements to maintain the facilities through the use of cash provided
by operating activities.  The remaining cash flow is available to the Company to
make both scheduled and optional  principal  payments on debt, pay distributions
to common shareholders and for reinvestment.

     FFO  increased  to  $48,502,000  for the three  months ended March 31, 1996
compared to  $18,534,000  for the same  period in 1995.  FFO  applicable  to the
common  shareholders  (after deducting  preferred stock dividends)  increased to
$33,336,000  for the three months ended March 31, 1996  compared to  $12,558,000
for  the  same  period  in  1995.  FFO is used by  many  financial  analysts  in
evaluating  REITs.  The Company  defines FFO as net income  (loss)  (computed in
accordance  with GAAP)  before (i) gain (loss) on  disposition  of real  estate,
adjusted as follows:  (i) plus depreciation and amortization,  and (ii) less FFO
attributable  to minority  interest.  The  National  Association  of Real Estate
Investment  Trusts,  Inc.  ("NAREIT")  definition  of FFO does not  specifically
address the treatment of minority  interest in the  determination of FFO. In the
case of the Company,  FFO represents  amounts  attributable to its  shareholders
after deducting  amounts  attributable to the minority  interests.  FFO does not
take  into   consideration   scheduled   principal  payments  on  debt,  capital
improvements,  distributions and other obligations of the Company.  Accordingly,
FFO is a  supplemental  performance  measure  and is not a  substitute  for  the
Company's  cash flow or net  income  (as  discussed  above) as a measure  of the
Company's liquidity or operating performance.

     The  Company  accounts  for the  Unconsolidated  Entities  using the equity
method of accounting,  and  accordingly,  earnings are recognized based upon the
Company's economic interest in each of the partnerships and REITs. Provisions of
the  agreements  of these  partnerships  and REITs  provide  for the  payment of
preferred cash distributions to other investors (until certain specified amounts
have been paid)  without  regard to the pro rata  interest of all  investors  in
current earnings.  As a result, cash distributions to be paid to the Company for
a period of time will be less than the  Company's  FFO, as  defined,  from these
entities  (distributable  FFO to the Company was approximately $4.7 million less
than the FFO recognized by the Company).  Preferred cash  distributions  paid to
other  investors  during each period have the effect of increasing the Company's
economic interest in each of the respective  entities and reducing the amount of
future  preference  payments which must be paid to other  investors  before cash
distributions will be shared on a pro rata basis with respect to each investor's
actual interest.  At March 31, 1996, the aggregate future preference payments to
other investors is approximately  $114.7 million and is expected to be paid over
approximately 15 years, with approximately 50% of the amount being paid over the
next 3.5 years.


     RETENTION  OF OPERATING  CASH FLOWS:  Operating  as a REIT,  the  Company's
ability to retain cash flow for  reinvestment is  restrictive.  In order for the
Company to maintain its REIT status, a substantial portion of its operating cash
flows must be used to make  distributions to its shareholders (see "REIT status"
below).  Remaining cash flows must then be sufficient to fund necessary  capital
improvements and scheduled debt service requirements. Accordingly, the Company's
ability  to  be  self-sufficient  is  predicated  on  its  ability  to  generate
sufficient  operating cash flows to satisfy its REIT distribution  requirements,
capital  improvement  requirements,  scheduled  debt service  requirements,  and
provide funds for additional investments.

     Over the past four years, the Company's  distribution policy has enabled it
to retain  significant  funds (after capital  improvements)  to make  additional
investments  and debt  reductions.  During first  quarter of 1996 and 1995,  the
Company distributed to common shareholders  approximately 48% and 55% of its FFO
available  to  common   shareholders,   respectively,   allowing  it  to  retain
approximately $15.3 million and $5.4 million,  respectively after satisfying its
capital improvements and preferred stock dividend requirements.

     DISTRIBUTIONS  REQUIREMENTS:  During the first quarter of 1996, the Company
paid  dividends  totaling  $13,154,000  to the holders of the  Company's  Senior
Preferred Stock,  $2,012,000 to the holders of the Convertible  Preferred Stock,
and  $15,748,000  to the holders of Common Stock.  Dividends with respect to the
Senior Preferred Stock include  pro-rated  amounts for securities  issued during
1996.  In January  1996,  the Company  issued  approximately  $163.2  million of
additional Senior Preferred Stock (8.45% Series H Preferred Stock).  The Company
estimates  that the  distribution  requirements  for fiscal 1996 with respect to
Senior  Preferred Stock  (including the Senior Preferred Stock issued in January
1996) and the Convertible Preferred Stock to be approximately $63.5 million.


                                       19

     CAPITAL  IMPROVEMENT  REQUIREMENTS:  During 1996,  the Company has budgeted
approximately  $14.1  million for capital  improvements  ($10.6  million for its
mini-warehouse and $3.5 million for its business park facilities).  The minority
interests'  share of the budgeted  capital  improvements is  approximately  $2.8
million.  During the first three months of 1996,  the Company  incurred  capital
improvements of approximately $2.8 million.

     During 1995, the Company commenced a program to enhance its visual icon and
modernize  the   appearance   of  its   mini-warehouse   facilities,   including
modernization of signs, paint color schemes, and rental offices. Included in the
1996 capital  improvement  budget is approximately  $4.0 million with respect to
these expenditures.

     DEBT  SERVICE  REQUIREMENTS:  The  Company  does  not  believe  it has  any
significant  refinancing  risks with  respect to its  mortgage  debt and nominal
interest rate risks associated with its variable rate mortgage debt. The Company
uses its $125.0  million of bank credit  facility (all of which was unused as of
May 14, 1996) primarily to fund acquisitions and provide  financial  flexibility
and liquidity. The credit facility currently bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.00%.

     At March  31,  1996,  the  Company  had  total  outstanding  borrowings  of
approximately  $120.8  million.  During January 1996, the Company  retired early
approximately  $36.4  million of debt with the  proceeds  of a  preferred  stock
offering.  Approximate  principal  maturities of notes payable at March 31, 1996
are as follows:

     EXTERNAL FINANCING: The Company intends to continue to expand its asset and
capital base through the acquisition of real estate assets and interests in real
estate assets from both  unaffiliated  and  affiliated  parties  through  direct
purchases, mergers, tender offers or other transactions.  The Company expects to
fund  these  transactions  with  internally  generated  retained  cash flows and
borrowings  under its $125.0 million  credit  facility.  The Company  intends to
repay amounts  borrowed under the credit facility from  undistributed  operating
cash flow or, as market conditions permit and are determined to be advantageous,
from the public or private placement of securities. In January 1996, the Company
issued $163.2 million of its Series H Preferred Stock. a portion of the proceeds
have been used to make repay debt and make additional  real estate  investments.
At March 31,  1995,  the Company  had  approximately  $65  million of  remaining
proceeds.

     In April 1996, the Company acquired all of the limited partnership interest
in two  partnerships  in which the Company had  previously  acquired the general
partnership interests.  These limited partnership interest were acquired from an
institutional  investor in exchange for $58,955,000 of the Company's Convertible
Preferred Stock, Series CC ("Series CC").

                                       20

     The Company believes that its size and financial  flexibility  enable it to
access capital for growth when appropriate.  The Company's  financial profile is
characterized  by a low level of debt to total  capitalization,  increasing  net
income, increasing cash flow from operations, and a conservative dividend payout
ratio with respect to the common  stock.  The  Company's  credit  ratings on its
Senior Preferred Stock were recently  upgraded by each of the three major credit
agencies (Baa2 by Moody's and BBB+ by Standard and Poors and Duff & Phelps).

     The Company's  portfolio of real estate  facilities  remains  substantially
unencumbered.  At March 31, 1996,  the Company had mortgage debt  outstanding of
$55.3 million and had consolidated  real estate  facilities with a book value of
$1.4  billion.  The  Company,   however,  has  been  adverse  to  financing  its
acquisitions  with debt and generally will only increase its mortgage  borrowing
through the assumption of pre-existing debt on acquired real estate facilities.

     Over the past three years the Company has funded  substantially  all of its
acquisitions with permanent  capital (both common and preferred  stock).  Unlike
many other real estate companies, the Company has elected to use preferred stock
despite the fact that the coupon rates of its preferred  stock  exceeds  current
rates on conventional  debt. The Company has chosen this route for the following
reasons:  (i) the  Company's  perpetual  preferred  stock  has no  sinking  fund
requirements,  or maturity  date and does not require  redemption,  all of which
eliminate any future  refinancing risks, (ii) preferred stock allows the Company
to leverage the common stock without the attendant  interest rate or refinancing
risks of debt, and (iii)  dividends on the preferred stock can be applied to the
Company's  REIT  distributions  requirements,  which have  helped the Company to
satisfy these requirements.

     COMPLETED AND PROPOSED  MERGERS:  On March 26, 1996, the Company  completed
the mergers with Public  Storage  Properties  IX, Inc.  ("Properties  9") and PS
Business Parks, Inc. ("PSBP").  In the mergers,  the Company issued an aggregate
of 1.4 million  shares of Common Stock and paid  additional  $12.6  million in
cash. Properties 9 owned and operated 15 properties: 14 mini-warehouses (881,000
square  feet) and one  business  parks  (72,000  square  feet).  PSBP  owned and
operated a single business park (173,000 square feet).

     In March 1996, the Company and Storage Properties, Inc. ("SPI"), a publicly
traded  equity  real  estate   investment  trust  agreed,   subject  to  certain
conditions,  to merge.  Upon the merger,  each  outstanding  share of SPI common
stock would be  converted,  at the  election of the  shareholders  of SPI,  into
either  shares of the  Company's  common  stock with a market value of $7.31 or,
with  respect  to up to 20% of the SPI  common  stock,  $7.31 in  cash.  SPI has
3,348,167  outstanding  shares of common stock and an  estimated  value of $24.5
million.  The merger  agreement is  conditioned  on,  among other  requirements,
receipt  of  satisfactory   fairness   opinions  by  SPI  and  approval  by  the
shareholders  of SPI.  The  Company  has an  advisory  agreement  and a property
management  agreement with SPI. SPI owns seven  mini-warehouses  (371,465 square
feet).

     DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES:  Historically,  the Company only acquired interests
in existing/operating real estate facilities. During 1995, the Company began the
development of three mini-warehouse facilities, one of which began operations in
1995.   The  Company   currently   has  plans  to  develop  an   additional   14
mini-warehouses in various locations at an estimated cost of approximately $60.0
million.  The Company is evaluating  the  feasibility  of developing  additional
mini-warehouses  in selected markets in which there are few, if any,  facilities
to acquire at  attractive  prices and where the  scarcity  of other  undeveloped
parcels  of land or  other  impediments  to  development  make it  difficult  to
construct additional competing facilities.

     Generally the construction  period takes 9 months followed by a 18-24 month
fill-up  process  until  the newly  constructed  facility  reaches a  stabilized
occupancy level. Due to the timing of the employment of the capital to construct
the  facilities and the  relatively  long "fill-up"  period until the facilities
reach a stabilized  occupancy level, the Company believes that its development
plans may create earnings dilution in the short-term.

     REIT STATUS:  The Company  believes  that it has  operated,  and intends to
continue to operate, in such a manner as to qualify as a REIT under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, but no assurance can be given that it will at all times so
qualify.  To the extent that the Company continues to qualify as a REIT, it will
not be taxed,  with certain  limited  exceptions,  on the taxable income that is
distributed to its shareholders.
  
                                     21
<PAGE>

     As a REIT,  the Company is not taxed on that portion of its taxable  income
which is  distributed  to its  shareholders  provided  that at least  95% of its
taxable  income is so  distributed  prior to filing of the Company's tax return.
The Company has satisfied the REIT distribution requirement since 1980.

     In addition to certain  asset tests,  the Company must meet several  annual
gross income tests to retain its REIT qualification.  Under the 95% gross income
test,  the  Company  must  derive at least 95% of its total  gross  income  from
specified  classes of income  related to real property,  dividends,  interest or
gains from the sale or other  distribution of stock or other  securities that do
not  constitute  "dealer  property."  If the Company  fails to meet the 95% test
during any taxable  year,  its REIT  status  would  terminate  for that year and
future years unless it qualifies for the "good cause" exception.  Generally,  if
the Company  fails the 95% test but still  retains its  qualification  as a REIT
under the "good  cause"  exception,  it would be subject to a 100% excise tax on
the amount of the excess  nonqualifying  income  multiplied  by a fraction,  the
numerator of which would be the Company's  taxable income (computed  without its
distribution  deduction)  and the  denominator  of which would be the  Company's
gross income from all sources.  This excise tax would have the general effect of
causing  the  Company  to  pay  all  net  profits  generated  from  this  excess
nonqualifying income to the Internal Revenue Service.

     Subsequent  to the PSMI  Merger,  the  Company  assumed  and is  performing
property management  activities for the various  partnerships and REITs in which
the Company has an interest.  The Company receives property management fees from
such  partnerships,  REITs and other owners in exchange for the  performance  of
such management activities.  The gross income received by the Company from these
property  management  activities  with respect to the facilities  owned by third
party entities and REITs in which the Company has an ownership  interest will be
treated  as income  not  qualifying  under the 95% test.  A portion of the gross
income  (representing a pro rata amount  allocated to partnership  interests not
owed by the Company) received by the Company from property management activities
with respect to the facilities owned by partnerships in which the Company has an
ownership  interest will also be treated as income not qualifying  under the 95%
test.

     At the time of the PSMI Merger, if there were no change in current revenues
of the  Company  and  PSMI  and  the  Company  took  no  action  to  reduce  its
nonqualifying  income,  the Company estimated it would not satisfy the 95% gross
income test for 1996.  However,  the percentage of  nonqualifying  income may be
reduced in a variety of ways:  (i) through the  prepayment of  management  fees,
(ii)  through  increase in overall  gross  income that result from  increases in
qualifying  rents will reduce the percentage of  nonqualifying  income (i.e. the
acquisition of additional  real estate  investments  which  generate  qualifying
rents), and (iii) through the acquisition of properties currently managed by the
Company,  thereby the management  fees received by the Company would cease to be
nonqualifying income.

     In order to reduce the amount of  nonqualifying  income the  Company  would
earn in 1996,  certain  entities prepaid during 1995 to the Company a portion of
the  management  fees that the  Company  otherwise  would have  received in 1996
discounted for early payment.  The amount prepaid during 1995 was  approximately
$4.5 million.  In addition,  subsequent to the PSMI Merger, the Company publicly
issued  preferred stock raising net offering  proceeds of  approximately  $330.1
million.  The net proceeds  have been used to repay debt and acquire  additional
real  estate  investments  including  interests  in  properties  managed  by the
Company.  The Company  believes that the prepayment of management  fees combined
with the  acquisition  of  additional  real estate  investments  will enable the
Company to meet the 95% test for 1996 and subsequent years.
