             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                MARCH 31, 1995
                                  (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, 1994.


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, 1995, the results of operations for the
    three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 and cash flows for the three
    months then ended.


3.  The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1995 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, 1995 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1994:

    The Partnership's net income for the three months ended March 31, 1995 was
$616,000 compared to $545,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1994,
representing an increase of $71,000. This increase was primarily due to
increases in operating results at the Partnership's mini-warehouse facilities
and interest income partially offset by increases in depreciation expense and
minority interest in income for those properties held in joint venture with
Storage Equities, Inc. ("SEI").


    Rental income was $3,667,000 compared to $3,537,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, representing an increase of
$130,000, or 4%. This increase was the result of increased average realized
rental rates at the Partnership's mini-warehouse facilities partially offset by
decreased average realized rental rates at the Partnership's business park
facility. The weighted average occupancy levels at the mini-warehouse and
business park facility were 89% and 96%, respectively, for the three months
ended March 31, 1995 compared to 87% and 94% respectively, for the three months
ended March 31, 1994. The monthly average realized rent per square foot for the
mini-warehouse and business park facility was $.53 and $.47, respectively, for
the three months ended March 31, 1995 and $.52 and $.54, respectively, for the
three months ended March 31, 1994.


    Cost of operations (including management fees) were $1,470,000 and
$1,430,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively,
representing an increase of $40,000. This increase was primarily attributable to
increases in property tax, utilities and commercial tenant improvement expenses,
partially offset by decreases in payroll and advertising expenses.


    Minority interest in income increased $13,000 to $733,000 from $720,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 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.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                  (CONTINUED)


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
($2,022,000 for the three months ended March 31, 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 $39,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 of
which $33,000 represents the Partnership's share.


    The Partnership paid distributions to the limited and general partners
totaling $1,336,000 ($10.44 per unit) and $164,000, respectively, during the
first three months of 1995. Future distribution rates may be adjusted to levels
which are supported by operating cash flow after capital improvements and any
other necessary obligations.
