              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 1998
                                   (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, 1997.

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, 1998,  the results of operations for the
       three  months  ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 and cash flows for the three
       months then ended.

3.     The results of  operations  for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are
       not  necessarily  indicative  of the results to be expected  for the full
       year.

4.     In January 1997, the Partnership  and PSI and other related  partnerships
       transferred  a total  of 35  business  parks  to PS  Business  Parks,  LP
       ("PSBPLP"),  an operating  partnership formed to own and operate business
       parks  in  which  PSI has a  significant  interest.  Included  among  the
       properties  transferred were the Partnership's business parks in exchange
       for a partnership interest in PSBPLP. The general partner of PSBPLP is PS
       Business Parks, Inc.

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


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

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997:

       The  Partnership's  net income for the three  months ended March 31, 1998
was $1,143,000 compared to $1,047,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997,
representing an increase of $96,000, or 9%. The increase was primarily due to an
increase in property  operations at the  Partnership's  real estate  facilities,
combined  with a decrease  in minority  interest in income for those  properties
held jointly with PSI.

       Rental  income  for  the  Partnership's   mini-warehouse  operations  was
$3,378,000  compared to $3,253,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively, representing an increase of $125,000, 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 $.65 compared to $.62 for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,  respectively.  The weighted average
occupancy levels at the mini-warehouse facilities remained stable at 88% for the
three  months  ended  March 31,  1997 and 1998.  Cost of  operations  (including
management fees) increased $67,000, or 5%, to $1,323,000 from $1,256,000 for the
three  months  ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,  respectively.  This  increase was
primarily attributable to an increase in advertising and repairs and maintenance
expenses. Accordingly, for the Partnership's mini-warehouse operations, property
net operating income increased by $58,000,  or 3%, from $1,997,000 to $2,055,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

       Depreciation and amortization  increased $46,000, or 6%, from $709,000 to
$755,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively.  This
increase was primarily  attributable to the depreciation of capital expenditures
made during 1997 and 1998.

       Minority  interest in income was $365,000 in 1998 compared to $384,000 in
1997,  representing  a decrease of $19,000,  or 5%. This  decrease was primarily
attributable to an 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 $134,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1998 compared to $93,000 for the same period in 1997, partially offset by an
increase in operations at the Partnership's real estate facilities owned jointly
with PSI.

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
($2,234,000  for the three months ended March 31, 1998) has been  sufficient  to
meet all current obligations of the Partnership.

       During 1998,  the  Partnership  anticipates  approximately  $1,050,000 of
capital  improvements (of which $208,000  represents PSI's joint venture share).
Total  capital  improvements  were  $75,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1998 of which $62,000 represents the Partnership's share.

       The Partnership  paid  distributions  to the limited and general partners
totaling  $1,070,000  ($8.36 per unit) and  $130,000,  respectively,  during the
first three months of 1998. Future  distribution rates may be adjusted to levels
which are supported by operating  cash flow after capital  improvements  and any
other necessary obligations.
