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


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

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

     The  Partnership's  net income was  $1,011,000 and $1,083,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively,  representing  a decrease of
$72,000,  or 7%. This decrease was due to increases in depreciation  expense and
minority  interest in income and decreases in interest income,  partially offset
by  improved  property  operating  results at the  Partnership's  mini-warehouse
facilities and reductions in interest and general and administrative expenses.

     Net property income at the Partnership's  mini-warehouse  and business park
facilities  (rental  income  less cost of  operations  and  management  fees and
excluding  depreciation)  for the three  months  ended June 30,  1996  increased
$19,000 or 1%, as rental income increased $82,000 or 2%, and costs of operations
(including management fees and excluding depreciation expense) increased $63,000
or 5% compared to the same period in 1995.  The slight  improvement  in property
net  operating  income  was  due to  improved  operations  at the  Partnership's
mini-warehouse  facilities  where net operating  income  improved 6%,  partially
offset by a decrease in the operating  results at the business  park  facilities
where net operating income decreased 31%.

     Rental  income  for  the   Partnership's   mini-warehouse   operations  was
$3,264,000  compared to $3,133,000  for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995,  respectively,  representing an increase of $131,000, or 4%. 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 92% compared to 91% for the three months ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  Cost of operations (including management
fees)  for the  mini-warehouses  increased  $18,000  or 2%, to  $1,127,000  from
$1,109,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. This
increase is primarily due to increases in repairs and  maintenance,  advertising
and property tax expenses.  Accordingly,  for the  Partnership's  mini-warehouse
operations,  property  net  operating  income  increased  $113,000  or  6%  from
$2,024,000  to  $2,137,000  for the three  months  ended June 30, 1995 and 1996,
respectively.

     Rental  income for the  Partnership's  business park  operations  decreased
$49,000,  or 8% to $556,000  from  $605,000  for the three months ended June 30,
1996 and  1995,  respectively.  The  decrease  in  rental  income  is  primarily
attributable  to a decrease in the occupancy  level at the Lakewood,  California
business  park.  During the first  quarter of 1996, a major  tenant  vacated the
facility  following the termination of their lease.  The Partnership is actively
marketing the facility,  and expects the occupancy level to improve during 1996.
The weighted  average  occupancy  levels at the business park facilities was 95%
compared to 96% 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 $.77  compared to $.83 for the three  months ended June 30, 1996
and 1995,  respectively.  Cost of operations (including management fees) for the
business parks increased $45,000 or 15%, to $344,000 from $299,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  This  increase is primarily
due to increases in payroll,  utilities,  repairs and  maintenance  expenses and
property taxes.  Accordingly,  for the  Partnership's  business park facilities,
property net  operating  income  decreased by $94,000 or 31%,  from  $306,000 to
$212,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

     As a result of the early  retirement  of  mortgage  debt  during  the first
quarter of 1996,  the  Partnership  did not incur  interest  expense  during the
second  quarter of 1996  compared to $44,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1995.

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


         Administrative  expenses  decreased  $20,000 from $89,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1995 to $69,000 for the same period in 1996. This decrease
is principally a result of a non-recurring  expense in 1995,  totaling  $43,000,
incurred in  connection  with  environmental  assessments  of the  Partnership's
facilities,  partially  offset by increases in accounting  fees and  refinancing
costs.

     Minority interest in income increased $39,000 from $380,000 to $419,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996,  respectively.  This  increase is
primarily  attributable to an increase in operations at the  Partnership's  real
estate  facilities owned jointly with Public Storage,  Inc.  ("PSI"),  partially
offset by the allocation of depreciation and amortization  expense  (pursuant to
the partnership agreement with respect to those real estate facilities which are
jointly  owned with PSI) to PSI of $90,000 for the three  months  ended June 30,
1996 compared to $83,000 for the same period in 1995.



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

         The  Partnership's net income was $2,003,000 and $2,055,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively,  representing  a decrease of
$52,000,  or 3%. This decrease was due to increases in depreciation  expense and
minority  interest in income and decreases in interest income,  partially offset
by  improved  property  operating  results at the  Partnership's  mini-warehouse
facilities and reductions in interest and general and administrative expenses.

         Property net property income (rental income less cost of operations and
management  fees and excluding  depreciation)  for the six months ended June 30,
1996  increased  $48,000 or 1%, as rental income  increased  $256,000 or 4%, and
costs  of  operations  (including  management  fees and  excluding  depreciation
expense)  increased  $208,000 or 7%  compared  to the same  period in 1995.  The
slight  improvement  in  property  net  operating  income  was  due to  improved
operations at the  Partnership's  mini-warehouse  facilities where net operating
income improved 3%, partially  offset by a decrease in the operating  results at
the business park facilities where net operating income decreased 11%.

     Rental  income  for  the   Partnership's   mini-warehouse   operations  was
$6,413,000  compared to  $6,170,000  for the six months  ended June 30, 1996 and
1995,  respectively,  representing an increase of $243,000, or 4%. This increase
was  primarily  attributable  to increased  rental rates.  The weighted  average
occupancy  levels  at the  mini-warehouse  facilities  was 90% for  both the six
months  ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.  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 $133,000 or 6%, to
$2,333,000  from  $2,200,000  for the six months  ended June 30,  1996 and 1995,
respectively.  This  increase  is  primarily  due to  increases  in repairs  and
maintenance,  advertising  and  property  tax  expenses.  Accordingly,  for  the
Partnership's mini-warehouse operations, property net operating income increased
$110,000 or 3% from  $3,970,000 to $4,080,000  for the six months ended June 30,
1995 and 1996, respectively.

     Rental  income for the  Partnership's  business park  operations  increased
$13,000,  or 1% to $1,170,000  from $1,157,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995,  respectively.  This  increase is  principally  due to  increased
rental rates offset by a decrease in the weighted average occupancy levels.  The
monthly  average  realized rent per square foot for the business park facilities
was $.81  compared  to $.80 for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1996 and 1995,
respectively.  The  weighted  average  occupancy  levels  at the  business  park
facilities  was 95%  compared to 96% for the six months  ended June 30, 1996 and
1995,  respectively. Cost of  operations  (including  management  fees)  for the
business parks  increased  $75,000 or 13%, to $670,000 from $595,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  This  increase is primarily
due to increases in payroll,  utilities,  repairs and  maintenance  expenses and
property taxes.  Accordingly,  for the  Partnership's  business park facilities,
property net  operating  income  decreased by $62,000 or 11%,  from  $562,000 to
$500,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

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


     Interest expense  decreased  approximately  $75,000 from $89,000 to $14,000
for the six months  ended June 30, 1995 and 1996,  respectively,  as a result of
the payoff of the  Partnership's  mortgage  note payable in the first quarter of
1996.

     Administrative  expenses decreased $59,000 from $145,000 in 1995 to $86,000
in 1996.  This  increase is  principally a result of  non-recurring  expenses in
1995, totaling $43,000, incurred in connection with environmental assessments of
the Partnership's facilities.

     Minority interest in income increased $30,000 from $754,000 to $784,000 for
the six months  ended June 30,  1995 and 1996,  respectively.  This  increase is
primarily  attributable to an increase in operations at the  Partnership's  real
estate facilities owned jointly with PSI,  partially offset by the allocation of
depreciation and  amortization  expense  (pursuant to the partnership  agreement
with respect to those real estate  facilities  which are jointly owned with PSI)
to PSI of $180,000 for the six months  ended June 30, 1996  compared to $148,000
for the same period in 1995.

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
($4,557,000  for the six months ended June 30, 1996) has been sufficient to meet
all current obligations of the Partnership.

     In March,  1996, the  Partnership  repaid early it's mortgage note payable,
utilizing  cash reserves and funds  contributed  from the holder of the minority
interest.

     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 $344,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 of which $304,000  represents  the  Partnership's
share (the remaining balance was paid by the minority interest).

     The  Partnership  paid  distributions  to the limited and general  partners
totaling  $2,139,000  ($16.72 per unit) and $264,000,  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.
