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

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

THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 COMPARED TO THREE AND NINE MONTHS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994:

   The Partnership's net income was $2,106,000 and $1,999,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, representing an increase
of $107,000.  The increase for the nine months was primarily due to increases in
property operating results and interest income partially offset by increases in
depreciation, administrative expenses and minority interest in income for those
properties held in joint venture with Storage Equities, Inc. ("SEI").  Net
income was $749,000 and $776,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995
and 1994, respectively, representing a decrease of $27,000. The decrease for
the three months was primarily due to increases in depreciation and
administrative expenses partially offset by increases in property operating
results and interest income.

   Net property income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was
$7,016,000 compared to $6,733,000 for the same period in 1994, representing an
increase of $283,000, or 4%. Net property income for the three months ended
September 30, 1995 was $2,432,000 compared to $2,372,000 for the same period in
1994, representing an increase of $60,000, or 3%.

   Rental income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was $11,389,000
compared to $10,994,000 for the same period in 1994,  representing an increase
of $395,000, or 4%.  This increase was due to improved rental income at both the
mini-warehouse and business park facilities.  Rental income was $10,692,000 and
$10,314,000 at the mini-warehouse facilities for the nine months ended September
30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, representing an increase of $378,000, or 4%.
Rental income was $697,000 and $680,000 at the Partnership's business park
facilities for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1995, respectively,
representing an increase of $17,000, or 3%.

   Rental income for the three months ended September 30, 1995 was $3,902,000
compared to $3,802,000 for the same period in 1994, representing an increase of
$100,000, or 3%.  Rental income was $3,661,000 and $3,579,000 at the
Partnership's mini-warehouse facilities for the three months ended September 30,
1995 and 1994, respectively, representing an increase of $82,000, or 2%.  Rental
income increased from $223,000 to $241,000 at the Partnership's business park
facilities for the three months ended September 30, 1994 and 1995, respectively,
representing and increase of $18,000, or 8%.

                             PS PARTNERS III, LTD.
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   The increases in rental income were the result of increased occupancy levels
at the Partnership's business park facilities combined with increased average
realized rental rates at the mini-warehouse facilities partially offset by
decreased average realized rental rates at the business park facility.  The
weighted average occupancy levels at the mini-warehouse and business park
facilities were 90% and 97%, respectively, for the nine months ended September
30, 1995 compared to 90% and 94%, respectively, for the nine months ended
September 30, 1994.  The monthly average realized rent per square foot for the
mini-warehouse and business park facilities was $.54 and $.52, respectively, for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and $.53 for both mini-warehouse and
business park facilities, for the nine months ended September 30, 1994.

   Cost of operations (including management fees) was $4,373,000 and $4,261,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively,
representing an increase of $112,000, or 3%. Cost of operations (including
management fees) was $1,470,000 and $1,430,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, representing an increase of $40,000,
or 3%.  These increases were primarily attributable to increases in insurance,
property tax, utilities and commercial tenant improvement expenses, partially
offset by decreases in repair and maintenance expenses.

   Administrative expenses increased $41,000 from $111,000 to $152,000 in 1995.
This increase is principally a result of non-recurring expenses totaling $45,000
incurred in connection with having the Partnership's facilities undergo
environmental studies.

   Minority interest in income increased $61,000 to $2,344,000 from $2,283,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  This
increase was primarily attributable to improved operations at the Partnership's
real estate facilities for those properties owned jointly with SEI, partially
offset by an allocation of depreciation and amortization expense (pursuant to
the partnership agreement with respect to those real estate facilities which are
jointly owned with SEI) to SEI of $118,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1995 compared to $92,000 for the same period in 1994.


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.

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

Cash generated from operations ($6,990,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1995) has been sufficient to meet all current obligations of the
Partnership.


   During 1995, the Partnership anticipates approximately $969,000 of capital
improvements (of which $300,000 represents SEI's joint venture share).  Total
capital improvements were $627,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
of which $445,000 represents the Partnership's share.


   The Partnership paid distributions to the limited and general partners
totaling $4,901,000 ($38.29 per unit) and $601,000, respectively, during the
first nine months of 1995, including a special distribution in the third
quarter.  The special distribution, totaling $891,000 ($6.96 per unit) to the
limited partners and $109,000 to the general partners, was the result of the
distribution of excess cash reserves.  Future distribution rates may be adjusted
to levels which are supported by operating cash flow after capital improvements
and any other necessary obligations.
