              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 1996
                                   (UNAUDITED)


1.   The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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 consolidated 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
     consolidated  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  operations  for the
     three and six months  ended  June 30,  1996 and 1995 and 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 to be expected for the full
     year.

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

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

     The Partnership's net income was $632,000 and $531,000 for the three months
ended  June  30,  1996 and  1995,  respectively,  representing  an  increase  of
$101,000, or 19%. This increase was primarily due to improved property operating
results at the Partnership's  facilities combined with a decrease in general and
administrative  expenses,  partially offset by increases in depreciation expense
and a decrease in interest income.

     Interest income decreased for the three months ended June 30, 1996 over the
same  periods  in 1995 as a  result  of a  decrease  in  average  invested  cash
balances.

     Net property  income  (rental income less cost of operations and management
fees and  excluding  depreciation)  for the three  months  ended  June 30,  1996
increased $66,000 or 4%, as rental income increased $118,000 or 4%, and costs of
operations  (including  management  fees  and  excluding  depreciation  expense)
increased  $52,000 or 5% compared to the same period in 1995.  This increase was
due to improved operations at the mini-warehouse facilities.

     Rental  income  for  the   Partnership's   mini-warehouse   operations  was
$2,651,000  compared to $2,537,000  for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995,  respectively,  representing an increase of $114,000, or 5%. This increase
was  primarily  attributable  to increased  rental  rates and  weighted  average
occupancy  levels.  The monthly  average  realized  rent per square foot for the
mini-warehouse  facilities  was $.60 compared to $.58 for the three months ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  The weighted average occupancy levels at
the mini-warehouse facilities was 90% compared to 89% for the three months ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  Cost of operations (including management
fees) for the mini-warehouses increased $48,000 or 5%, to $970,000 from $922,000
for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  This increase
was primarily  attributable to increases in repairs and maintenance and property
tax expenses.  Accordingly,  for the  Partnership's  mini-warehouse  operations,
property  net  operating  income  increased  $66,000  or 4% from  $1,615,000  to
$1,681,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

     Rental  income for the  Partnership's  business park  operations  increased
$4,000, or 2% to $169,000 from $165,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996
and 1995,  respectively.  The weighted average  occupancy levels at the business
park facilities was 95% compared to 93% for the three months ended June 30, 1996
and 1995,  respectively.  The monthly average  realized rent per square foot for
the  business  park  facilities  was $.63  compared to $.67 for the three months
ended  June 30,  1996 and  1995,  respectively.  Cost of  operations  (including
management  fees) for the business parks increased $4,000 or 5%, to $80,000 from
$76,000  for the  three  months  ended  June 30,  1996 and  1995,  respectively.
Accordingly,  for the  Partnership's  business  park  facilities,  property  net
operating  income remained stable at $89,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995.

     Administrative expenses decreased $24,000 from $51,000 for the three months
ended June 30,  1995  compared  to  $27,000  for the same  period in 1996.  This
decrease is principally a result of a  non-recurring  expense in 1995,  totaling
$27,000,   incurred  in  connection  with   environmental   assessments  of  the
Partnership's facilities.

     Minority interest in income decreased $89,000 to $520,000 from $609,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  This decrease was
primarily  attributable  to the  allocation  of  depreciation  and  amortization
expense (pursuant to the partnership agreement with respect to those real estate
facilities which are jointly owned with Public Storage,  Inc. ("PSI")) to PSI of
$223,000 for the three  months  ended June 30, 1996  compared to $93,000 for the
same  period in 1995,  partially  offset by an  increase  in  operations  at the
Partnership's real estate facilities owned jointly with PSI.

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


Six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to six months ended June 30, 1995:

     The  Partnership's  net income was  $1,130,000  and  $1,032,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively,  representing an increase of
$98,000,  or 10%. This increase was primarily due to improved property operating
results at the Partnership's  facilities combined with a decrease in general and
administrative  expenses,  partially offset by increases in depreciation expense
and a decrease in interest income.

     Interest  income  decreased for the six months ended June 30, 1996 over the
same  periods  in 1995 as a  result  of a  decrease  in  average  invested  cash
balances.

     Net property  income  (rental income less cost of operations and management
fees  and  excluding  depreciation)  for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1996
increased  $15,000 or .5%, as rental income increased  $166,000 or 3%, and costs
of operations  (including  management fees and excluding  depreciation  expense)
increased $151,000 or 8% compared to the same period in 1995.

     Rental  income  for  the   Partnership's   mini-warehouse   operations  was
$5,190,000  compared to  $5,027,000  for the six months  ended June 30, 1996 and
1995, respectively, representing an increase of $163,000, or 3%. These increases
in rental income were  primarily  attributable  to increased  rental rates,  and
weighted average occupancy levels.  The weighted average occupancy levels at the
mini-warehouse  facilities was 89% compared to 88% for the six months ended June
30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  The monthly average  realized rent per square
foot for the  mini-warehouse  facilities  was $.60  compared to $.58 for the six
months  ended  June  30,  1996  and  1995,  respectively.  Costs  of  operations
(including management fees) for the mini-warehouses increased $155,000 or 8%, to
$2,022,000  from  $1,867,000  for the six months  ended June 30,  1996 and 1995,
respectively.  These  increases  were  primarily  attributable  to  increases in
repairs  and  maintenance  and  property  tax  expenses.  Accordingly,  for  the
Partnership's mini-warehouse operations, property net operating income increased
$8,000 or .3% from  $3,160,000 to  $3,168,000  for the six months ended June 30,
1995 and 1996, respectively.

     Rental  income for the  Partnership's  business park  operations  increased
$3,000,  or .9% to $325,000 from $322,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996
and 1995,  respectively.  The weighted average  occupancy levels at the business
park  facilities  was 94% compared to 93% for the six months ended June 30, 1996
and 1995,  respectively.  The monthly average  realized rent per square foot for
the business park  facilities was $.62 compared to $.66 for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  Cost of operations (including management
fees) for the business parks  decreased  $4,000 or 3%, to $149,000 from $153,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Accordingly, for
the  Partnership's  business  park  facilities,  property net  operating  income
increased  by $7,000 or 4%, from  $169,000 to $176,000  for the six months ended
June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

     Administrative  expenses  decreased $37,000 from $79,000 in 1995 to $42,000
in 1996.  This decrease is  principally a result of a  non-recurring  expense in
1995, totaling $27,000, incurred in connection with environmental assessments of
the Partnership's facilities.

     Minority interest in income decreased  $186,000 to $996,000 from $1,182,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. This decrease was
primarily  attributable  to the  allocation  of  depreciation  and  amortization
expense (pursuant to the partnership agreement with respect to those real estate
facilities which are jointly owned with Public Storage,  Inc. ("PSI")) to PSI of
$390,000  for the six months  ended June 30, 1996  compared to $ 195,000 for the
same  period in 1995,  partially  offset by an  increase  in  operations  at the
Partnership's real estate facilities owned jointly with PSI.

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


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     The  Partnership  has adequate  sources of cash to finance its  operations,
both on a short-term and long-term  basis,  primarily from internally  generated
cash from property operations and cash reserves.  Cash generated from operations
($3,284,000  for the six months ended June 30, 1996) has been sufficient to meet
all current obligations of the Partnership.

     During  1996,  the  Partnership  anticipates  approximately  $1,146,000  of
capital  improvements (of which $463,000  represents PSI's joint venture share).
During 1995, the  Partnership's  property manager commenced a program to enhance
the visual  appearance  of the  mini-warehouse  facilities  managed by it.  Such
enhancements will include new signs, exterior color schemes, and improvements to
the  rental  offices.  Included  in the  1996  capital  improvement  budget  are
estimated costs of $163,000 for such  enhancements.  Total capital  improvements
were  $266,000  for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1996  of  which  $168,000
represents the Partnership's share.

     The  Partnership  paid  distributions  to the limited and general  partners
totaling  $1,426,000  ($21.60 per unit) and $175,000,  respectively,  during the
first six months of 1996.  Future  distribution  rates may be adjusted to levels
which are supported by operating  cash flow after capital  improvements  and any
other necessary obligations.
