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

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

THREE MONTHS ENDED  SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED  SEPTEMBER
30, 1995:

     The  Partnership's  net income was  $1,068,000 and $1,107,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively,  representing a decrease
of $39,000,  or 4%. This decrease was due to increases in  depreciation  expense
and minority  interest in income,  combined with a decrease in interest  income,
partially offset by improved  property  operating  results at the  Partnership's
mini-warehouse facilities and reductions in interest expense.

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

     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 September 30, 1996 increased
$42,000  or 2%,  as  rental  income  increased  $110,000  or 3%,  and  costs  of
operations  (including  management  fees  and  excluding  depreciation  expense)
increased  $68,000 or 5% compared to the same period in 1995. The 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 10%.

     Rental  income  for  the   Partnership's   mini-warehouse   operations  was
$3,349,000  compared to $3,214,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996
and 1995,  respectively,  representing  an  increase  of  $135,000,  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 $.61  compared to $.59 for the three months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The weighted average occupancy
levels at the  mini-warehouse  facilities  was 93% compared to 92% for the three
months  ended  September  30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  Cost of  operations
(including management fees) for the mini-warehouses increased $68,000, or 6%, to
$1,174,000  from  $1,106,000  for the three months ended  September 30, 1996 and
1995, respectively. This increase is primarily due to increases in property tax,
repairs and maintenance, and office expenses. Accordingly, for the Partnership's
mini-warehouse  operations,  property net operating income increased $67,000, or
3%, from  $2,108,000 to $2,175,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995
and 1996, respectively.

     Rental  income for the  Partnership's  business park  operations  decreased
$25,000,  or 4%, to $579,000 from $604,000 for the three months ended  September
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 its 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 93%
compared  to 94% for the  three  months  ended  September  30,  1996  and  1995,
respectively. The monthly average realized rent per square foot for the business
park  facilities was $.63 compared to $.66 for the three months ended  September
30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Cost of operations (including management fees)
for the business  parks  remained  stable at $340,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995.  Accordingly,  for the Partnership's  business park
facilities,  property net operating  income  decreased by $25,000,  or 10%, from
$264,000 to $239,000  for the three months  ended  September  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 third
quarter of 1996  compared to $45,000 for the three  months ended  September  30,
1995.

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

     Administrative  expenses increased $8,000 from $29,000 for the three months
ended  September 30, 1995 to $37,000 for the same period in 1996.  This increase
is partially attributable to an increase in accounting expenses.

         Minority interest in income increased $63,000 from $377,000 to $440,000
for the three  months  ended  September  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 $75,000  for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 compared to $93,000 for the same period in 1995.

     NINE  MONTHS  ENDED  SEPTEMBER  30,  1996  COMPARED  TO NINE  MONTHS  ENDED
     SEPTEMBER 30, 1995:

     The  Partnership's  net income was  $3,071,000  and $3,162,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively,  representing a decrease
of $91,000,  or 3%. This decrease was due to increases in  depreciation  expense
and  minority  interest in income and a decrease in interest  income,  partially
offset  by   improved   property   operating   results   at  the   Partnership's
mini-warehouse facilities and a reduction in interest expense.

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

     Property net property  income  (rental  income less cost of operations  and
management fees and excluding  depreciation) for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 increased $90,000 or 1%, as rental income increased $366,000 or 3%, and
costs  of  operations  (including  management  fees and  excluding  depreciation
expense)  increased  $276,000 or 7%  compared  to the same  period in 1995.  The
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
$9,761,000  compared to $9,384,000 for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996
and 1995,  respectively,  representing  an  increase  of  $377,000,  or 4%. This
increase was  primarily  attributable  to increased  rental  rates.  The monthly
average realized rent per square foot for the mini-warehouse facilities was $.60
compared  to $.58  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996  and  1995,
respectively.  The  weighted  average  occupancy  levels  at the  mini-warehouse
facilities  remained  stable at 90% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
and   1995.   Costs  of   operations   (including   management   fees)  for  the
mini-warehouses increased $201,000, or 6%, to $3,508,000 from $3,307,000 for the
nine months ended  September 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  This increase is
primarily  due to  increases  in  property  tax,  repairs and  maintenance,  and
advertising  expenses.   Accordingly,   for  the  Partnership's   mini-warehouse
operations,  property  net  operating  income  increased  $176,000,  or 3%, from
$6,077,000 to $6,253,000 for the nine months ended  September 30, 1995 and 1996,
respectively.

     Rental  income for the  Partnership's  business park  operations  decreased
$11,000,  or 1%,  to  $1,750,000  from  $1,761,000  for the  nine  months  ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  This decrease 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 nine months ended  September  30,
1996 and  1995,  respectively.  The  weighted  average  occupancy  levels at the
business  park  facilities  was 95%  compared to 97% for the nine  months  ended
September  30,  1996  and  1995,  respectively.  Cost of  operations  (including
management fees) for the business parks increased $75,000,  or 8%, to $1,009,000
from  $934,000  for  the  nine  months  ended   September  30,  1996  and  1995,
respectively. This increase is primarily due to increases in property tax, lease
commissions,  repairs and maintenance, and utilities expenses.  Accordingly, for

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

the  Partnership's  business  park  facilities,  property net  operating  income
decreased  by $86,000,  or 11%,  from  $827,000 to $741,000  for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

     Interest expense decreased  approximately $120,000 from $134,000 to $14,000
for the nine months ended September 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 $51,000 from $174,000 in 1995 to $123,000
in 1996.  This  decrease 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 $93,000 from $1,131,000 to $1,224,000
for the nine  months  ended  September  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 $256,000 for the nine months ended  September
30, 1996 compared to $244,000 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
($6,958,000 for the nine months ended September 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 $665,000 for the
nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996  of  which  $579,000   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  $3,210,000  ($25.08 per unit) and $393,000,  respectively,  during the
first nine 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.
