  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 March 31, 1996,  the results of operations for the
       three  months  ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 and 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 to be expected for the full 
       year.

                      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
$992,000  compared  to  $972,000  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1995,
representing  an  increase  of  $20,000  or  2%.  This  increase  was  primarily
attributable  to  increased  property  operating  results  at the  Partnership's
business park facilities  combined with decreases in administrative and interest
expenses, partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense, combined with
a decrease in interest income.

     Property net operating  income  (rental  income less cost of operations and
management  fees and excluding  depreciation  expense)  increased  approximately
$29,000 for the three months  ended March 31, 1996  compared to the three months
ended March 31, 1995, as rental income  increased by $174,000 or 5%, and cost of
operations (including management fees) increased by $145,000 or 11%.

     Rental  income  for  the   Partnership's   mini-warehouse   operations  was
$3,149,000  compared to $3,036,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively,  representing an increase of $113,000 or 4%. The increase in
rental  income was  primarily  attributable  to  increased  rental  rates at the
Partnership's  mini-warehouse  facilities. The monthly average realized rent per
square foot for the mini-warehouse  facilities was $.60 compared to $.57 for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  The weighted average
occupancy  levels at the  mini-warehouse  facilities  remained stable at 89% for
both of the  three  month  periods  ended  March  31,  1995  and  1996.  Cost of
operations  (including  management fees) increased $116,000 or 11% to $1,206,000
from   $1,090,000   for  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1996  and  1995,
respectively. This increase was primarily the result of increases in repairs and
maintenance,   utilities  and  property  tax  expenses.   Accordingly,  for  the
Partnership's mini-warehouse operations, property net operating income decreased
by $3,000 from  $1,946,000  to  $1,943,000  for the three months ended March 31,
1995 and 1996, respectively.

     Rental income for the Partnership's  business parks operations was $614,000
compared  to  $553,000  for the three  months  ended  March  31,  1996 and 1995,
respectively,  representing  an increase of $61,000 or 11%. The monthly  average
realized rent per square foot for the business park facilities was $.79 compared
to $.76 for the three  months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  The
weighted average occupancy level at the business park facilities remained stable
at 96% for both three  month  periods  ended  March 31,  1996 and 1995.  Cost of
operations (including management fees) increased $29,000 or 10% to $326,000 from
$297,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  This
increase is primarily the result of an increase in utility expense. Accordingly,
for the  Partnership's  business park facilities,  property net operating income
increased by $32,000 or 13% from $256,000 to $288,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

<PAGE>

     Minority  interest in income was  $365,000 in 1996  compared to $374,000 in
1995,  representing  a decrease of $9,000,  or 2%. This  decrease was  primarily
attributed to the allocation of depreciation and amortization  expense (pursuant
to the partnership  agreement with respect to those real estate facilities which
are jointly owned by Public Storage, Inc.) ("PSI") to PSI of $90,000 compared to
$65,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     In March 1996, the  Partnership  retired early its remaining  mortgage note
payable;  consequently, interest expense decreased  approximately  $31,000 from
$45,000  to  $14,000  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1995 and  1996,
respectively.

     Administrative  expenses  decreased $39,000 from $56,000 in 1995 to $17,000
in 1996. This decrease is principally  attributable to decreases in state income
tax provisions, investor services expenses, and accounting expenses.

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
($2,191,000  for the three months ended March 31, 1996) has been  sufficient  to
meet all current obligations of the Partnership.
 









                                      7

     During  1996,  the  Partnership  anticipates  approximately  $1,303,000  of
capital  improvements (of which $221,000  represents PSI's joint venture share).
The  anticipated  increase  in  capital  improvements  in 1996 is mainly  due to
$351,000  of  budgeted   improvements  at  the  Partnership's   business  parks;
specifically,  remodeling  of common  areas,  resurfacing  of a parking  lot and
tenant  improvements  to vacated spaces on terminated  leases.  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
$223,000 for such enhancements. Total capital improvements were $119,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 of which $107,000 represents the Partnership's
share.

     The  Partnership  paid  distributions  to the limited and general  partners
totaling  $1,070,000  ($8.36 per unit) and  $131,000,  respectively,  during the
first three 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.
