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



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

Three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to three months ended June 30, 1995:

     The Partnership's net income was $218,000 and $304,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively,  representing a decrease of $86,000,
or 29%. This decrease were  primarily due to increases in  depreciation  expense
partially offset by an increase in administrative expenses.

     Net property  income  (rental income less cost of operations and management
fees and  excluding  depreciation)  for the three  months  ended  June 30,  1996
increased  $13,000 or .6%, as rental income increased  $122,000 or 3%, and costs
of operations  (including  management fees and excluding  depreciation  expense)
increased $109,000 or 7% compared to the same period in 1995.

     Rental  income  for  the   Partnership's   mini-warehouse   operations  was
$2,888,000  compared to $2,754,000  for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995,  respectively,  representing an increase of $134,000, or 5%. This increase
in rental  income was  primarily  attributable  to  increased  rental  rates and
weighted average occupancy levels.  The weighted average occupancy levels at the
mini-warehouse  facilities  was 91%  compared to 89% for the three  months ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  The monthly  average  realized  rent per
square foot for the mini-warehouse  facilities was $.58 compared to $.57 for the
three  months  ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  Cost of  operations
(including  management fees) for the mini-warehouses  increased $107,000 or 10%,
to $1,157,000 from $1,050,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  These  increases  were  primarily  attributable  to  increases in
office,   advertising,   and  property  tax  expenses.   Accordingly,   for  the
Partnership's mini-warehouse operations, property net operating income increased
$27,000 or 2% from  $1,704,000 to $1,731,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1995 and 1996, respectively.

     Rental  income for the  Partnership's  business park  operations  decreased
$12,000 or 1%, to $882,000  from  $894,000  for the three  months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995,  respectively.  The monthly average realized rent per square foot
for the business park  facilities was $.91 compared to $.94 for the three months
ended June 30,  1996 and 1995,  respectively.  The  weighted  average  occupancy
levels at the business  park  facilities  remained  stable at 98% for both three
month  periods  ended  June 30,  1996 and 1995.  Cost of  operations  (including
management  fees) for the business parks increased  $2,000,  or .4%, to $528,000
from  $526,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.
Accordingly,  for the  Partnership's  business  park  facilities,  property  net
operating  income  decreased  $14,000,  or 4%, to $354,000 from $368,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     Administrative  expenses  increased from $50,000 for the three months ended
June  30,  1995 to  $63,000  for the  same  period  in 1996.  This  increase  is
principally a result of increases in  refinancing  costs and provision for state
income  taxes,  partially  offset by  non-recurring  expenses in 1995,  totaling
$15,000,   incurred  in  connection  with   environmental   assessments  of  the
Partnership's facilities.

Six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to six months ended June 30, 1995:

     The  Partnership's  net income was $499,000 and $516,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively,  representing a decrease of $17,000,
or 3%. This  decrease were  primarily  due to increases in minority  interest in
income for those  properties  held in joint  venture with Public  Storage,  Inc.
("PSI")  and   depreciation   expense,   partially   offset  by  a  decrease  in
administrative expenses.

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

     Net property  income  (rental income less cost of operations and management
fees  and  excluding  depreciation)  for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1996
increased  $191,000 or 5%, as rental income increased  $346,000 or 5%, and costs
of operations  (including  management fees and excluding  depreciation  expense)
increased $155,000 or 5% compared to the same period in 1995.

     Rental  income  for  the   Partnership's   mini-warehouse   operations  was
$5,678,000  compared to  $5,458,000  for the six months  ended June 30, 1996 and
1995,  respectively,  representing an increase of $220,000, or 4%. This increase
was  primarily  attributable  to increased  rental rates,  and weighted  average
occupancy levels.  The weighted average  occupancy levels at the  mini-warehouse
facilities  was 90%  compared to 88% for the six months  ended June 30, 1996 and
1995,  respectively.  The monthly average  realized rent per square foot for the
mini-warehouse  facilities  was $.58  compared to $.57 for the six months  ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Costs of operations (including management
fees)  for the  mini-warehouses  increased  $89,000  or 4%, to  $2,258,000  from
$2,169,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  This
increase was primarily  attributable  to increases in office,  advertising,  and
property  tax  expenses.   Accordingly,  for  the  Partnership's  mini-warehouse
operations,  property  net  operating  income  increased  $131,000  or  4%  from
$3,289,000  to  $3,420,000  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1995 and 1996,
respectively.

     Rental  income for the  Partnership's  business park  operations  increased
$126,000 or 7%, to $1,843,000  from $1,717,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995,  respectively.  Rental income for the Partnership's business park
operations  decreased  $12,000 or 1%, to $882,000  from  $894,000  for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively The weighted average occupancy
levels at the  business  park  facilities  was 98%  compared  to 97% for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The monthly average realized
rent per square foot for the business park  facilities was $.95 compared to $.91
for the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1996  and  1995,  respectively.  Cost of
operations  (including management fees) for the business parks increased $66,000
or 7%, to $1,082,000  from $1,016,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995, respectively. Accordingly, for the Partnership's business park facilities,
property  net  operating  income  increased  by $60,000 or 9%, from  $701,000 to
$761,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

     Administrative  expenses decreased from $105,000 in 1995 to $80,000 in 1996
or $25,000.  This decrease is principally a result of non-recurring  expenses in
1995, totaling $30,000, incurred in connection with environmental assessments of
the Partnership's facilities.

     Minority interest in income increased $63,000 to $1,910,000 from $1,847,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. This increase was
primarily  attributable to increased operations at the Partnership's real estate
facilities for those properties owned jointly with Public Storage, Inc. ("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
($3,891,000  for the six months ended June 30, 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 $475,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 of which $278,000 represents the Partnership's share.

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


     The  Partnership  paid  distributions  to the limited and general  partners
totaling  $1,782,000  ($13.92 per unit) and $217,000,  respectively,  during the
first six 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.
