                                   (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, 1995.

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, 1996, the results of operations for the
         three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 and cash flows for the three
         months then ended.

3.       The results of  operations  for the three months ended March 31, 1996 
         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, 1996 compared to three months ended March 31, 1995:

     The  Partnership's net income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was
$281,000  compared  to  $212,000  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1995,
representing  an increase of $69,000 or 33%.  This increase was primarily due to
increased property operating results at the Partnership's real estate facilities
combined  with a  decrease  in  administrative  expenses,  partially  offset  by
increases  in  minority  interest in income for those  properties  held in joint
venture with PSI and depreciation, combined with a decrease in interest income.

     Property net operating  income  (rental  income less cost of operations and
management  fees and excluding  depreciation  expense)  increased  approximately
$178,000 or 9% for the three months  ended March 31, 1996  compared to the three
months ended March 31, 1995, as rental  income  increased by $224,000 or 6%, and
cost of operations (including management fees) increased by $46,000 or 3%.

     Rental  income  for  the   Partnership's   mini-warehouse   operations  was
$2,790,000  compared to $2,704,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
1995,  respectively,  representing an increase of $86,000 or 3%. The increase in
rental  income was  primarily  attributable  to  increased  rental  rates at the
mini-warehouse facilities. The monthly average realized rent per square foot for
the  mini-warehouse  facilities  was $.58  compared to $.56 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  The  weighted  average  occupancy
levels at the  mini-warehouse  facilities  remained stable at 88% for both three
month  periods  ended March 31,  1995 and 1996.  Cost of  operations  (including
management  fees) decreased  $17,000 or 2% to $1,101,000 from $1,118,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Accordingly,  for the
Partnership's mini-warehouse operations, property net operating income increased
by $103,000 or 7% from $1,586,000 to $1,689,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.


                                       6

        Rental income for the Partnership's business park operations was
$961,000  compared to  $823,000  for the three  months  ended March 31, 1996 and
1995,  respectively,  representing an increase of $138,000 or 17%. Rental income
includes $90,000 and $166,000 in 1995 and 1996, respectively, from the buyout of
leases by tenants which vacated  their space prior to the  termination  of their
leases  and  other  non-reoccurring   adjustments  to  income.  Excluding  these
adjustments,  rental income for the  Partnership's  business park operations was
$795,000  compared to  $733,000  for the three  months  ended March 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively, representing an increase of $62,000. This increase in rental
income  is  primarily  attributable  to an  increase  in  the  weighted  average
occupancy level at the  Partnership's  business park  facilities,  and increased
rental  rates.  The  weighted  average  occupancy  level  at the  business  park
facilities was 99% compared to 96% for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
1995,  respectively.  The monthly average  realized rent per square foot for the
business  park  facilities  was $.82 compared to $.78 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Cost of operations (including management
fees)  increased  $63,000 or 13% to $554,000  from $491,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Accordingly, for the Partnership's
business park facilities,  property net operating income increased by $75,000 or
22% from  $332,000 to  $407,000  for the three  months  ended March 31, 1995 and
1996, respectively.

     Minority  interest in income was  $954,000 in 1996  compared to $887,000 in
1995,  representing  an increase of $67,000,  or 8%. This increase was primarily
the result of improved operations at the Partnership's mini-warehouse facilities
which are owned jointly with PSI.

     Administrative  expenses  decreased $38,000 from $55,000 in 1995 to $17,000
in 1996. This decrease is principally attributable to decreases in non-recurring
expenses incurred in connection with having the Partnership's facilities undergo
environmental studies, state income tax provisions,  investor services expenses,
and accounting expenses.

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
($1,886,000  for the three months ended March 31, 1996) has been  sufficient  to
meet all current obligations of the Partnership.

     During  1996,  the  Partnership  anticipates  approximately  $1,774,000  of
capital  improvements (of which $723,000  represents PSI's joint venture share).
The  anticipated  increase  in  capital  improvements  in 1996 is mainly  due to
$975,000  of  budgeted   improvements  at  the  Partnership's   business  parks;
specifically  to include  renovations to common areas,  roof  replacements,  and
tenant  improvement on vacated spaces.  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 $121,000 for such
enhancements. Total capital improvements were $87,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 of which $50,000 represents the Partnership's share.
 
                                      7

     The  Partnership  paid  distributions  to the limited and general  partners
totaling $891,000 ($6.96 per unit) and $109,000, respectively,  during the first
three 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.
