ITEM 1.           BUSINESS.

General
- -------

         PS Partners V, Ltd.  (the  "Partnership")  is a publicly  held  limited
partnership under the California Revised Limited  Partnership Act. Commencing in
June 1985,  148,000  units of limited  partnership  interest  (the "Units") were
offered to the public in an interstate  offering.  The offering was completed in
November 1985.

         The  Partnership   was  formed  to  invest  in  and  operate   existing
self-service  facilities  offering  storage  space for personal and business use
(the  "mini-warehouses")  and to  invest  up to 40% of the net  proceeds  of the
offering  in  and  operate  existing  office  and  industrial  properties.   The
Partnership's real estate investments consist of wholly-owned  facilities and an
investment  in a general  partnership  (SEI/PSP  V Joint  Ventures,  the  "Joint
Venture")  with  Public  Storage,  Inc.  ("PSI")  (formerly  known  as  "Storage
Equities,  Inc."),  a real  estate  investment  trust  ("REIT")  organized  as a
corporation under the laws of California

         In 1995, there was a series of mergers among Public Storage Management,
Inc. (which was the Partnership's mini-warehouse operator), Public Storage, Inc.
and their  affiliates  (collectively,  "PSMI"),  culminating in the November 16,
1995 merger (the "PSMI Merger") of PSMI into Storage Equities,  Inc. In the PSMI
Merger, Storage Equities,  Inc. was renamed Public Storage, Inc. and it acquired
substantially  all of PSMI's United States real estate operations and became the
operator of the mini warehouses of the Partnership and the Joint Venture.

The Partnership's general partners (the "General Partners") are PSI and B. Wayne
Hughes  ("Hughes").  PSI became a co-general partner in September 1993, when PSI
acquired the interest of PSI  Associates,  Inc.  ("PSA"),  an affiliate of PSMI,
relating to PSA's  general  partner  capital  contribution  in the  Partnership.
Hughes has been a general partner of the Partnership since its inception. Hughes
is the chairman of the board and chief executive  officer of PSI, and Hughes and
members of his family (the "Hughes  Family") are the major  shareholders of PSI.
The Partnership is managed,  and its investment decisions are made by Hughes and
the  executive  officers  and  directors  of PSI.  The  limited  partners of the
Partnership  have no right to  participate  in the  management or conduct of its
business affairs. PSI believes that it is the largest operator of mini-warehouse
facilities in the United States.

         Through  1996,  the  business  parks of the  Partnership  and the Joint
Venture  were  managed  by Public  Storage  Commercial  Properties  Group,  Inc.
("PSCPG") pursuant to a Management Agreement.  In January 1997, the Partnership,
Joint  Venture,  PSI and other  related  partnerships  transferred a total of 35
business parks to PS Business Parks, L.P. ("PSBPLP"), formerly known as American
Office Park Properties, L.P., an operating partnership formed to own and operate
business  parks in which  PSI has a  significant  interest.  Included  among the
properties  transferred were the business parks of the Partnership and the Joint
Venture in exchange for a partnership  interest in PSBPLP. Until March 17, 1998,
the general  partner of PSBPLP was American  Office Park  Properties,  Inc.,  an
affiliate of PSI. On March 17, 1998,  American Office Park Properties,  Inc. was
merged into Public  Storage  Properties  XI, Inc.,  which changed its name to PS
Business  Parks,  Inc.  ("PSBP").  PSBP is a REIT  affiliated  with PSI,  and is
publicly traded on the American Stock Exchange.  As a result of the merger, PSBP
became the  general  partner of PSBPLP  (which  changed  its name from  American
Office Park Properties, L.P. to PS Business Parks, L.P.). See Item 13.

         PSI's current  relationship with the Partnership includes (i) the joint
ownership of 32 of the  Partnership's 33 properties (which excludes the property
transferred to PSBPLP in January 1997),  (ii) PSI is a co-general  partner along
with Hughes,  who is chairman of the board and chief  executive  officer of PSI,
(iii)  as  of  December  31,  1997,  PSI  owned  approximately   60.79%  of  the
Partnership's  limited  partnership units and (iv) PSI is the operator of the 33
properties in which the  Partnership  has an interest  (these 33 properties  are
referred to collectively hereinafter as the "Mini-Warehouse Properties").

                                       2

Investments in Facilities 
- --------------------------

         The  Partnership  owns  interests  in  33  properties   (excluding  the
properties  transferred  to PSBPLP in January 1997);  32 of such  properties are
owned by the Joint Venture. The Partnership purchased its last property in July,
1986.  Reference  is made to the  table in Item 2 for a summary  of  information
about the Partnership's properties.

         The Partnership believes that its operating results have benefited from
favorable   industry   trends  and  conditions.   Notably,   the  level  of  new
mini-warehouse  construction  has decreased since 1988 while consumer demand has
increased.  In  addition,  in recent  years  consolidation  has  occurred in the
fragmented mini-warehouse industry.

Mini-warehouses
- ---------------

         Mini-warehouses,  which  comprise  the  majority  of the  Partnership's
investments,  are designed to offer  accessible  storage  space for personal and
business use at a relatively low cost. A user rents a fully enclosed space which
is for the  user's  exclusive  use and to which  only the user has  access on an
unrestricted   basis   during   business   hours.   On-site   operation  is  the
responsibility  of resident  managers who are supervised by area managers.  Some
mini-warehouses  also  include  rentable  uncovered  parking  areas for  vehicle
storage.  Leases for  mini-warehouse  space may be on a long-term or  short-term
basis,  although typically spaces are rented on a month-to-month  basis.  Rental
rates vary according to the location of the property and the size of the storage
space.

         Users of space in  mini-warehouses  include both  individuals and large
and small  businesses.  Individuals  usually  employ  this space for storage of,
among other things, furniture, household appliances,  personal belongings, motor
vehicles,  boats,  campers,  motorcycles and other household  goods.  Businesses
normally employ this space for storage of excess  inventory,  business  records,
seasonal goods, equipment and fixtures.

         The  Mini-Warehouse  Properties  generally  consist  of  three to seven
buildings  containing an aggregate of between 235 to 1,469 storage spaces,  most
of  which  have  between  25 and 400  square  feet  and an  interior  height  of
approximately 8 to 12 feet.

         The Mini-Warehouse Properties experience minor seasonal fluctuations in
the occupancy levels of  mini-warehouses  with occupancies  higher in the summer
months  than  in  the  winter  months.  The  Partnership   believes  that  these
fluctuations result in part from increased moving activity during the summer.

         The Mini-Warehouse  Properties are  geographically  diversified and are
generally  located in heavily  populated  areas and close to  concentrations  of
apartment  complexes,  single family  residences  and  commercial  developments.
However,  there may be  circumstances  in which it may be  appropriate  to own a
property  in a less  populated  area,  for  example,  in an area  that is highly
visible  from a major  thoroughfare  and  close to,  although  not in, a heavily
populated area. Moreover,  in certain population centers,  land costs and zoning
restrictions may create a demand for space in nearby less populated areas.

         As  with  most  other  types  of  real  estate,   the   conversion   of
mini-warehouses to alternative uses in connection with a sale or otherwise would
generally require substantial capital expenditures. However, the Partnership and
the Joint  Venture do not intend to convert  the  Mini-Warehouse  Properties  to
other uses.

Business Parks
- --------------

         Through 1996, the  Partnership and the Joint Venture owned and operated
two  business  parks;  one in San  Diego,  California  and one in  Culver  City,
California.  These business parks were  transferred to PSBPLP in January 1997 in
exchange for a partnership interest in PSBPLP.

Investment Objectives and Polices; Sale or Financing of Investments
- -------------------------------------------------------------------

         The  Partnership's  objectives are to (i) preserve and protect invested
capital,   (ii)  maximize  the  potential  for  appreciation  in  value  of  its
investments,  (iii)  provide  Federal  income tax  deductions so that during the
early  years of  property  operations  a portion  of cash  distributions  may be
treated  as a  return  of  capital  for tax  purposes,  and  therefore,  may not
represent  taxable  income to the limited  partners,  and (iv)  provide for cash
distributions from operations.

         The  Partnership  will terminate on December 31, 2038 unless  dissolved
earlier.  Under the terms of the general partnership agreement with PSI, PSI has
the right to require the Partnership to sell all of the properties  owned by the
Joint Venture (see Item 12(c)).  The General Partners have no present  intention
to seek the liquidation of the  Partnership  because they believe that it is not
an  opportune  time to  sell  mini-warehouses.  Although  the  General  Partners
originally anticipated a liquidation of the Partnership in 1993-1996,  since the
completion of the Partnership's offering in 1985, significant changes have taken
place in the financial  and real estate  markets that must be taken into account
in considering the timing of any proposed sale or financing,  including: (i) the
increased construction of mini-warehouses from 1984 to 1988, which has increased
competition, (ii) the general deterioration of the real estate market (resulting
from  a  variety  of  factors,   including  changes  in  tax  laws),  which  has
significantly  affected property values and decreased sales activities and (iii)
the reduced sources of real estate financing.

         The Partnership  engaged  Lawrence R. Nicholson,  MAI, a principal with
the firm of  Nicholson-Douglas  Realty  Consultants,  Inc. ("NDRC") to perform a
limited  investigation  and appraisal of the properties owned by the Partnership
and the Joint  Venture.  In a letter  appraisal  report dated December 31, 1996,
NDRC  indicated  that,  based on the  assumptions  contained in the report,  the
aggregate  market value of the Partnership and the Joint Venture's 35 properties
(consisting  not only of the  Partnership's  interest but also  including  PSI's
interest),  as of November 30, 1996,  was  $99,300,000  ($85,100,000  for the 33
mini-warehouses  and  $14,200,000 for the 2 business  parks).  (In January 1997,
after  the  date  of the  appraisal,  the  Partnership  and  the  Joint  Venture
transferred  their  business parks to AOPPLP in exchange for a 10.4% interest in
AOPPLP.)  NDRC's  report is limited in that NDRC did not inspect the  properties
and relied primarily upon the income capitalization  approach in arriving at its
opinion.   NDRC's  aggregate  value  conclusion  represents  the  100%  property
interests, and although not valued separately, includes both the interest of the
Partnership  in the  properties,  as well as the  interest of PSI,  which owns a
joint  venture  interest  (ranging  from  about  50%  to  90%)  in 33 of  the 35
properties. The analytical process that was undertaken in the appraisal included
a review of the  properties'  unit mix,  rental rates and  historical  financial
statements.  Following these reviews, a stabilized level of net operating income
was  projected  for  the  properties  (an  aggregate  of  $8,312,000  for the 33
mini-warehouses  and  $1,606,000 for the 2 business  parks).  In the case of the
mini-warehouses,   value   estimates   were  then  made   using  both  a  direct
capitalization  analysis  ($86,600,000)  and a  discounted  cash  flow  analysis
($85,000,000).   In  applying  the   discounted   cash  flow   analysis  to  the
mini-warehouses,  projections of cash flow from each property were developed for
an 11-year period ending in the year 2007.  Growth rates for income and expenses
were assumed to be 3.5% per year. NDRC then used a terminal  capitalization rate
of 10.0% to capitalize  each  property's  11th year net operating  income into a
residual value at the end of the holding period.  The ten yearly cash flows plus
the residual or reversionary proceeds net of sales costs were then discounted to
present  worth  using a discount  rate of 12.5%.  In the  direct  capitalization
analysis,  NDRC  applied  a 9.5%  capitalization  rate  to the  mini-warehouses'
stabilized net operating income.  These value estimates were then compared to an
estimated  value   ($84,500,000)   using  a  regression   analysis   applied  to
approximately 300 sales of mini-warehouses to evaluate the reasonableness of the
estimates using the direct capitalization and discounted cash flow analysis.

         The business parks were valued using a direct  capitalization  analysis
by applying a 10.5%  capitalization  rate to the business parks'  stabilized net
operating  income  and  then  making   adjustments  for  any  necessary  capital
improvements and stabilization costs. NDRC has prepared other appraisals for the
General  Partners  and their  affiliates  and is expected to continue to prepare
appraisals  for the General  Partners  and their  affiliates.  No  environmental
investigations  were conducted with respect to the limited  investigation of the
Partnership's  properties.  Accordingly,  NDRC's  appraisal  did not  take  into
account  any  environmental  cleanup or other  costs that might be  incurred  in
connection  with a  disposition  of the  properties.  Although  there  can be no
assurance,  based on recently completed  environmental  investigations (see Item
2),  the  Partnership  is not aware of any  environmental  contamination  of its

                                       4

<PAGE>

facilities material to its overall business or financial condition.  In addition
to assuming  compliance with applicable  environmental  laws, the appraisal also
assumed,  among  other  things,   compliance  with  applicable  zoning  and  use
regulations and the existence of required licenses.

         Limited  Partners  should  recognize that appraisals are opinions as of
the date specified,  are subject to certain  assumptions and the appraised value
of the Partnership's properties may not represent their true worth or realizable
value. There can be no assurance that, if these properties were sold, they would
be sold at the appraised  values;  the sales price might be higher or lower than
the appraised values.

         In August 1997, PSI completed a cash tender offer,  which had commenced
in June  1997,  pursuant  to  which  PSI  acquired  a total  of  13,847  limited
partnership units at $355 per unit.

Operating Strategies
- --------------------

         The  Mini-Warehouse  Properties  are  operated by PSI under the "Public
Storage" name, which the Partnership believes is the most recognized name in the
mini-warehouse  industry.  The major  elements  of the  Partnership's  operating
strategies are as follows:

*        Capitalize on Public Storage's name recognition. PSI, together with its
         predecessor,  has more  than 20 years of  operating  experience  in the
         mini-warehouse  business.  PSI has informed the Partnership  that it is
         the largest  mini-warehouse  facility  operator in the United States in
         terms of both number of facilities  and rentable  space  operated.  PSI
         believes  that its  marketing  and  advertising  programs  improve  its
         competitive  position in the market.  PSI's in-house Yellow Pages staff
         designs and places  advertisements  in  approximately  700 directories.
         Commencing  in early  1996,  PSI began to  experiment  with a telephone
         reservation   system  designed  to  provide  added  customer   service.
         Customers  calling  either  PSI's  toll-free  referral  system,   (800)
         44-STORE,   or  a   mini-warehouse   facility  are  directed  to  PSI's
         reservation  system where a trained  representative  discusses with the
         customer space  requirements,  price and location  preferences and also
         informs the customer of other products and services provided by PSI. As
         of December 31, 1997, the telephone  reservation  system was supporting
         rental activity at all of the Partnership's properties. PSI's toll-free
         telephone  referral  system  services  approximately  160,000 calls per
         month from  potential  customers  inquiring  as to the  nearest  Public
         Storage mini-warehouse.

*        Maintain high occupancy levels and increase realized rents.  Subject to
         market conditions,  the Partnership  generally seeks to achieve average
         occupancy levels in excess of 90% and to eliminate  promotions prior to
         increasing  rental rates. The weighted average  occupancy levels at the
         Mini-Warehouse  Properties  increased  from 92% in 1996 to 93% in 1997.
         The monthly  average  realized  rent per  occupied  square foot for the
         Mini-Warehouse  Properties  was $.69 in 1997  compared to $.65 in 1996.
         The Partnership has increased rental rates in many markets where it has
         achieved high occupancy levels and eliminated or minimized promotions.

*        Systems  and  controls.  PSI  has  an  organizational  structure  and a
         property  operation system,  "CHAMP"  (Computerized Help and Management
         Program),  which links its corporate  office with each  mini-warehouse.
         This enables PSI to obtain daily  information from each  mini-warehouse
         and to achieve efficiencies in operations and maintain control over its
         space inventory, rental rates, promotional discounts and delinquencies.
         Expense management is achieved through centralized payroll and accounts
         payable  systems and a comprehensive  property tax appeals  department,
         and PSI has an  extensive  internal  audit  program  designed to ensure
         proper handling of cash collections.

*        Professional  property operation.  In addition to the approximately 150
         support  personnel at the Public Storage corporate  offices,  there are
         approximately   2,700  on-site  personnel  who  manage  the  day-to-day
         operations of the  mini-warehouses in the Public Storage system.  These
         on-site personnel are supervised by 110 district managers,  15 regional
         managers  and 3  divisional  managers  (with  an  average  of 13  years
         experience in the mini-warehouse  industry) who report to the president
         of the mini-warehouse property operator (who has 14 years of experience
 
                                       5

<PAGE>

         with the  Public  Storage  organization).  PSI  carefully  selects  and
         extensively  trains the  operational  and support  personnel and offers
         them a progressive career path. See "Mini-warehouse Property Operator."

Mini-warehouse Property Operator
- --------------------------------

         The  Mini-Warehouse  Properties  are  managed  by  PSI  pursuant  to  a
Management Agreement.

         Under the  supervision of the  Partnership  and the Joint Venture,  PSI
coordinates  the operation of the  facilities,  establishes  rental policies and
rates,  directs  marketing  activity and directs the  purchase of equipment  and
supplies, maintenance activity, and the selection and engagement of all vendors,
supplies and independent contractors.

         PSI engages,  at the expense of the property owners,  employees for the
operation of the owner's  facilities,  including  resident  managers,  assistant
managers, relief managers, and billing and maintenance personnel. Some or all of
these employees may be employed on a part-time basis and may also be employed by
other persons, partnerships,  REITs or other entities owning facilities operated
by PSI.

         In the purchasing of services such as advertising  (including broadcast
media advertising) and insurance, PSI attempts to achieve economies by combining
the resources of the various facilities that it operates. Facilities operated by
PSI  have  historically  carried   comprehensive   insurance,   including  fire,
earthquake, liability and extended coverage.

         PSI has developed systems for space inventory,  accounting and handling
delinquent  accounts,  including a  computerized  network  linking PSI  operated
facilities. Each project manager is furnished with detailed operating procedures
and typically  receives  facilities  management  training from PSI. Form letters
covering a variety of circumstances are also supplied to the project managers. A
record of actions  taken by the project  managers  when  delinquencies  occur is
maintained.

         The  Mini-Warehouse  Properties  are typically  advertised via signage,
yellow pages,  flyers and broadcast media advertising  (television and radio) in
geographic  areas in which many of the facilities are located.  Broadcast  media
and other advertising costs are charged to the facilities  located in geographic
areas affected by the  advertising.  From time to time,  PSI adopts  promotional
programs, such as temporary rent reductions, in selected areas or for individual
facilities.

         For as long as the Management  Agreement is in effect,  PSI has granted
the  Partnership  and the Joint  Venture  non-exclusive  license  to use two PSI
service  marks and related  designs,  including  the "Public  Storage"  name, in
conjunction  with rental and  operation of  facilities  managed  pursuant to the
Management  Agreement.   Upon  termination  of  the  Management  Agreement,  the
Partnership  and the Joint  Venture  would no  longer  have the right to use the
service marks and related designs. The General Partners believe that the loss of
the right to use the  service  marks and related  designs  could have a material
adverse effect on the Partnership's business.

         The  Management   Agreement  with  PSI  provides  that  the  Management
Agreement may be terminated  without cause upon 60 days written notice by either
party.

         Through  1996,  the  business  parks of the  Partnership  and the Joint
Venture were managed by PSCPG, now known as PS Business Parks, Inc., pursuant to
a Management  Agreement.  In January 1997,  these properties were transferred to
PSBPLP in exchange for a partnership interest.

Competition
- -----------

         Competition in the market areas in which the Mini-Warehouse  Properties
operate is  significant,  and affects the occupancy  levels,  rental rates,  and
operating expenses of certain of the facilities.  Competition may be accelerated
by any increase in availability  of funds for investment in real estate.  Recent
increases in plans for  development of  mini-warehouses  are expected to further
intensify competition among mini-warehouse operators in certain market areas. In
addition to competition  from  mini-warehouses  operated by PSI, there are three
other national firms and numerous regional and local operators.  The Partnership
believes  that the  significant  operating  and  financial  experience  of PSI's
executive officers and directors and the "Public Storage" name should enable the
Partnership to continue to compete effectively with other entities.

Other Business Activities
- -------------------------

         A corporation  owned by the Hughes Family  reinsures  policies  against
losses  to  goods  stored  by  tenants  in the  Mini-Warehouse  Properties.  The
Partnership  believes that the  availability of insurance  reduces the potential
liability  of the  Partnership  and the Joint  Venture to tenants  for losses to
their goods from theft or destruction.  This  corporation  receives the premiums
and bears the risks associated with the insurance.

         A corporation,  in which PSI had a 95% economic interest and the Hughes
Family has a 5% economic interest, sells locks, boxes, and tape to tenants to be
used in securing  their  spaces and moving their  goods.  PSI believes  that the
availability of locks, boxes, and tape for sale promotes the rental of spaces.

Employees
- ---------

         There are 111 persons who render  services on behalf of the Partnership
and the Joint  Venture.  These  persons  include  resident  managers,  assistant
managers,  relief managers, area managers, and administrative personnel. Some of
these employees may be employed on a part-time basis and may also be employed by
other persons, partnerships, REITs, or other entities owning facilities operated
by PSI or PSBPLP.

Impact of Year 2000
- -------------------

         PSI has completed an initial  assessment of its computer  systems.  The
majority of the computer  programs were  installed or upgraded over the past few
years and are Year 2000 compliant.  Some of the older computer programs utilized
by PSI were written without regard for Year 2000 issues and could cause a system
failure or miscalculations with possible disruption of operations. Each of these
computer  programs and systems has been  evaluated to be upgraded or replaced as
part of PSI's Year 2000 project.

         The cost of the Year 2000  project  will be  allocated  to all entities
that use the PSI computer  systems.  The cost of the Year 2000 project  which is
expected  to  be  allocated  to  the   Partnership  and  the  Joint  Venture  is
approximately $99,000. The cost of new software will be capitalized and the cost
of maintenance to existing systems will be expensed as incurred.

         The  project is  expected  to be  completed  by March 31, 1999 which is
prior to any  anticipated  impact on operating  systems.  PSI believes that with
modifications to existing software and, in some instances, the conversion to new
software,  the Year 2000 issue will not pose significant  operational  problems.
However,  if such  modifications are not made, or are not completed timely,  the
Year  2000  issue  could  have  a  material  impact  on  the  operations  of the
Partnership.

         The costs of the  project  and the date on which PSI  believes  it will
complete the Year 2000  modifications  are based on management's best estimates,
which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events. There can be
no guarantee  that these  estimates  will be achieved and actual  results  could
differ materially from those anticipated.

         The weighted average occupancy level for the Mini-Warehouse  Properties
was 93% in 1997 compared to 92% in 1996. The monthly  average  realized rent per
square foot for the Mini-Warehouse  Properties was $.69 in 1997 compared to $.65
in 1996.

         Substantially  all of the  facilities  were acquired  prior to the time
that it was customary to conduct environmental investigations in connection with
property  acquisitions.  During  the  fourth  quarter  of 1995,  an  independent
environmental   consulting  firm  completed  environmental   assessments  (which
commenced   in  1994)  on  the   Mini-Warehouse   Properties   to  evaluate  the
environmental  condition of, and potential  environmental  liabilities  of, such
properties.  Based  on the  assessments,  the  Partnership  believes  that it is
probable that costs  totaling  $110,000 after December 31, 1997 will be incurred
for  known  environmental   remediation   requirements  for  the  Mini-Warehouse
Properties.  Although there can be no assurance, the Partnership is not aware of
any unaccrued  environmental  contamination  of any of its property  sites which
individually or in the aggregate would be material to the Partnership's  overall
business, financial condition, or results of operations.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

         No material legal  proceeding is pending against the Partnership or the
Joint Venture.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

         No matters  were  submitted  to a vote of security  holders  during the
fourth quarter of 1997.

ITEM 5.  MARKET  FOR  THE  PARTNERSHIP'S  COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED  STOCKHOLDER
         MATTERS.

         The Partnership has no common stock.

         The Units are not listed on any national  securities exchange or quoted
on the NASDAQ System,  and there is no established public trading market for the
Units. Secondary sales activity for the Units has been limited and sporadic. The
General Partners monitor transfers of the Units (a) because the admission of the
transferee as a substitute  limited partner  requires the consent of the General
Partners  under the  Partnership's  Amended and  Restated  Agreement  of Limited
Partnership,  (b) in order to ensure  compliance with safe harbor  provisions to
avoid  treatment  as a "publicly  traded  partnership"  for tax purposes and (c)
because PSI has  purchased  Units.  However,  the  General  Partners do not have
information regarding the prices at which all secondary sale transactions in the
Units have been effectuated.  Various  organizations  offer to purchase and sell
limited  partnership  interests  (including  securities  of the type such as the
Units) in secondary sales transactions. Various publications such as The Stanger
Report  summarize  and  report  information  (on a  monthly,  bimonthly  or less
frequent basis) regarding  secondary sales  transactions in limited  partnership
interests  (including  the Units),  including the prices at which such secondary
sales transactions are effectuated.

         Exclusive of the General Partners'  interest in the Partnership,  as of
December 31, 1997, there were approximately 2,709 record holders of Units.

         The Partnership  makes quarterly  distributions  of all "Cash Available
for  Distribution"   and  will  make   distributions  of  "Cash  from  Sales  or
Refinancing." Cash Available for Distribution is cash flow from all sources less
cash necessary for any obligations or capital improvements or reserves.

         Reference is made to Items 6 and 7 hereof for information on the amount
of such distributions.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION   AND  ANALYSIS  OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996:

         The  Partnership's  net  income  was  $3,118,000  in 1997  compared  to
$2,187,000 in 1996, representing an increase of $931,000, or 42.6%. The increase
is due primarily to the  Partnership's  share of an improvement in operations of
the   mini-warehouses   in  which  the   Partnership   has  an   interest   (the
"Mini-Warehouse  Properties")  and a decrease in  depreciation  allocated to the
Partnership with respect to the Joint Venture.

         PROPERTY OPERATIONS:  Rental income for the Partnership's  wholly-owned
property was $328,000 in 1997 compared to $319,000 during 1996,  representing an
increase of $9,000,  or 2.8%.  Cost of operations  (including  management  fees)
decreased  $3,000,  or 2.6%,  to  $112,000  during  1997 from  $115,000 in 1996.
Accordingly,  for the  Partnership's  mini-warehouse  operations,  property  net
operating  income  increased  by  $12,000,  or 5.9%,  to  $216,000  in 1997 from
$204,000 in 1996.

         As a result  of  contribution  of the  Partnership's  business  park to
PSBPLP in January  1997 in exchange  for  operating  partnership  units,  rental
income and cost of operations, respectively, for the Partnership's business park
was reduced to zero and zero, respectively,  in 1997 from $831,000 and $510,000,
respectively, in 1996.

         EQUITY IN EARNINGS OF REAL ESTATE ENTITIES:  Equity in earnings of real
estate  entities was  $3,056,000 in 1997 as compared to $2,221,000  during 1996,
representing an increase of $835,000,  or 37.6%.  The increase was due primarily
to the impact of the  contribution  of the business parks of the Partnership and
the Joint Venture to PSBPLP in January 1997.

         DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION:  Depreciation and amortization decreased
$472,000 from  $521,000 in 1996 to $49,000 in 1997.  This decrease was primarily
attributable to the impact of the contribution of the Partnership's wholly-owned
business park facility to PSBPLP, offset partially by additional depreciation on
capital expenditures made during 1996 and 1997.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995:

         The  Partnership's  net  income  in 1996  was  $2,187,000  compared  to
$2,403,000 in 1995,  representing a decrease of $216,000,  or 9.0%. The decrease
was  primarily  due to an  increase  in  depreciation  expense and a decrease in
interest  income,  partially  offset  by the  Partnership's  share  of  improved
property  operations at the Mini-Warehouse  Properties combined with a reduction
in environmental costs.

         PROPERTY OPERATIONS:  Rental income for the Partnership's  wholly-owned
mini-warehouse  property was $319,000 in 1996 compared to $305,000  during 1995,
representing  an increase of $14,000,  or 4.6%.  Cost of  operations  (including
management  fees)  increased  $15,000,  or 15.0%,  to $115,000  during 1996 from
$100,000 in 1995, respectively.  Accordingly, for the Partnership's wholly-owned
mini-warehouse property, property net operating income decreased by $1,000, from
$205,000 in 1995 to $204,000 during 1996.

         Rental  income for the  Partnership's  wholly-owned  business  park was
$831,000  in 1996  compared to  $809,000  in 1995,  representing  an increase of
$22,000  or 2.7%.  Cost of  operations  (including  management  fees)  decreased
$12,000, or 23.0%, from $522,000 in 1995 to $510,000 in 1996.  Accordingly,  for
the  Partnership's  wholly-owned  business park property,  net operating  income
increased by $34,000, or 11.8%, from $287,000 in 1995 to $321,000 in 1996.

         EQUITY IN EARNINGS OF REAL ESTATE ENTITIES:  Equity in earnings of real
estate  entities was  $2,221,000 in 1996 as compared to $2,402,000  during 1995,
representing a decrease of $181,000, or 7.5%. This decrease was due primarily to
a reduction in operating income in the Joint Venture's business park,  partially
offset by the  Partnership's  share of improved  operating  results at the Joint
Venture's mini-warehouse properties.

<PAGE>

         DEPRECIATION   AND   AMORTIZATION:    Depreciation   and   amortization
attributable to the Partnership's  properties  increased $40,000,  or 8.3%, from
$481,000 in 1995 to $521,000 in 1996.  This increase was primarily  attributable
to the depreciation of capital expenditures made during 1995 and 1996.

SUPPLEMENTAL PROPERTY DATA

         In 1997, most of the Partnership's net income is from the Partnership's
share of the operating results of the Mini-Warehouse  Properties.  Therefore, in
order to evaluate the  Partnership's  operating  results,  the General  Partners
analyze the operating performance of the Mini-Warehouse Properties.

         YEAR ENDED  DECEMBER 31, 1997  COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED  DECEMBER 31,
1996:  Rental income for the  Mini-Warehouse  Properties was $13,595,000 in 1997
compared to $12,780,000  during 1996,  representing an increase of $815,000,  or
6.4%.  The increase in rental  income was  primarily  attributable  to increased
rental  rates,  partially  offset by decreased  average  occupancy  levels.  The
monthly average  realized rent per square foot was $.69 in 1997 compared to $.65
in 1996. The weighted average occupancy levels decreased from 93% in 1996 to 92%
in 1997. Cost of operations  (including  management fees) increased $204,000, or
4.3%, to $4,939,000  during 1997 from  $4,735,000  in 1996,  respectively.  This
increase was primarily  attributable to increases in advertising,  property tax,
and  management  expenses.   Accordingly,  for  the  Mini-Warehouse  Properties,
property net operating income increased by $611,000, or 7.6%, from $8,656,000 in
1996 to $8,045,000 during 1997.

         YEAR ENDED  DECEMBER 31, 1996  COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED  DECEMBER 31,
1995:  Rental income for the  Mini-Warehouse  Properties was $12,780,000 in 1996
compared to $12,371,000 in 1995,  representing an increase of $409,000, or 3.3%.
The increase in rental income was primarily  attributable  to increased  average
realized  rental rates.  The monthly  average  realized rent per square foot was
$.65 in 1996 compared to $.63 in 1995.  The weighted  average  occupancy  levels
remained  stable at 92% in both 1996 and 1995.  Costs of  operations  (including
management  fees)  increased  $292,000,  or 6.6%,  to  $4,735,000  in 1996  from
$4,443,000 in 1995.  This increase was  primarily  attributable  to increases in
advertising  and  promotion,  repairs  and  maintenance,  and  office  expenses.
Accordingly,  for the Mini-Warehouse  Properties,  property net operating income
increased by $117,000, or 1.5%, to $8,045,000 in 1996 from $7,928,000 in 1995.

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 by internally generated cash
from property  operations and distributions from Real Estate Entities,  combined
with cash on hand at December 31, 1997 of $1,002,000.

         Cash flow from operating  activities and distributions from Real Estate
Entities  ($4,816,000  for the year ended December 31, 1997) has been sufficient
to meet all current obligations of the Partnership.  Total capital  improvements
for the  Partnership's  wholly-owned  properties  were  $21,000,  $201,000,  and
$174,000 in 1997, 1996, and 1995,  respectively.  During 1995, the Partnership's
property  manager  commenced a program to enhance the visual  appearance  of the
mini-warehouse  facilities.  Such enhancements include new signs, exterior color
schemes,  and  improvements to the rental offices.  During 1998, the Partnership
anticipates approximately $39,000 of capital improvements.

             1990               3,378,000                 20.34
             1989               4,983,000                 30.00
             1988               4,983,000                 30.00
             1987               4,671,000                 28.12
             1986               4,153,000                 25.00
             1985               1,192,000                  8.22
             
         The General Partners distributed, concurrent with distributions for the
fourth quarter of 1991, a portion of the operating  reserve of the  Partnership,
and adjusted the on-going  distribution  level.  The operating  reserve that was
distributed  was estimated at $7.25 per Unit. The 1995  distribution  includes a
portion of the operating  reserve of the  Partnership  estimated to be $6.02 per
Unit.  Future   distribution   levels  will  be  based  on  cash  available  for
distributions  (cash flow from all  sources,  less cash  necessary  for  capital
improvement needs and to establish reserves).

Impact of Year 2000
- -------------------

         PSI has completed an initial  assessment of its computer  systems.  The
majority of the computer  programs were  installed or upgraded over the past few
years and are Year 2000 compliant.  Some of the older computer programs utilized
by PSI were written without regard for Year 2000 issues and could cause a system
failure or miscalculations with possible disruption of operations. Each of these
computer  programs and systems has been  evaluated to be upgraded or replaced as
part of PSI's Year 2000 project.

         The cost of the Year 2000  project  will be  allocated  to all entities
that use the PSI computer  systems.  The cost of the Year 2000 project  which is
expected  to  be  allocated  to  the   Partnership  and  the  Joint  Venture  is
approximately $99,000. The cost of new software will be capitalized and the cost
of maintenance to existing systems will be expensed as incurred.

         The  project is  expected  to be  completed  by March 31, 1999 which is
prior to any  anticipated  impact on operating  systems.  PSI believes that with
modifications to existing software and, in some instances, the conversion to new
software,  the Year 2000 issue will not pose significant  operational  problems.
However,  if such  modifications are not made, or are not completed timely,  the
Year  2000  issue  could  have  a  material  impact  on  the  operations  of the
Partnership.

         The costs of the  project  and the date on which PSI  believes  it will
complete the Year 2000  modifications  are based on management's best estimates,
which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events. There can be
no guarantee  that these  estimates  will be achieved and actual  results  could
differ materially from those anticipated.

Partnership    Glendale, CA 91201-2394  (1)    89,976 Units (1)        60.79%
Interest

- ---------------

(1)  These Units are held of record by SEI Arlington Acquisition Corporation,  a
     wholly-owned subsidiary of PSI.

         In August 1997, PSI completed a cash tender offer,  which had commenced
in June  1997,  pursuant  to  which  PSI  acquired  a total  of  13,847  limited
partnership units at $355 per unit.

         The  Partnership  is not aware of any other  beneficial  owners of more
than 5% of the Units.

         (b)      The Partnership has no officers and directors.

         The   General   Partners   (or  their   predecessor-in-interest)   have
contributed  $747,000 to the capital of the  Partnership  representing 1% of the
aggregate capital contributions and as a result participate in the distributions
to the limited partners and in the Partnership's  profits and losses in the same
proportion that the general  partners' capital  contribution  bears to the total
capital  contribution.  Information  regarding  ownership of the Units by PSI, a
General  Partner,  is set forth  under  section  (a) above.  The  directors  and
executive officers of PSI, as a group, do not own any Units.

         (c) The Partnership knows of no contractual arrangements, the operation
of the terms of which may at a subsequent  date result in a change in control of
the  Partnership,  except  for  articles  16,  17 and 21.1 of the  Partnership's
Amended  Certificate  and Agreement of Limited  Partnership,  a copy of which is
included  in  the  Partnership's   prospectus   included  in  the  Partnership's
Registration  Statement File No. 2-95773.  Those articles provide, in substance,
that the limited  partners  shall have the right,  by majority vote, to remove a
general  partner and that a general  partner may designate a successor  with the
consent of the other general partner and a majority of the limited partners.

         The  Partnership  owns  interests in 33 properties  (which  exclude the
properties  transferred  to PSBPLP in January 1997);  32 of such  properties are
held in a general  partnership  comprised of the  Partnership and PSI. Under the
terms of the partnership  agreement relating to the ownership of the properties,
PSI has the  right to compel a sale of each  property  at any time  after  seven
years from the date of acquisition at not less than its independently determined
fair market value provided the  Partnership  receives its share of the net sales
proceeds  solely in cash. As of December 31, 1997,  PSI has the right to require
the Partnership to sell all of the Joint Venture's properties on these terms.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

         The Partnership  Agreement provides that the General Partners and their
affiliates are entitled to the following compensation:

                                       20

<PAGE>

1.       Incentive distributions equal to 10% of Cash Flow from Operations.

2.       Provided the limited partners have received distributions equal to 100%
         of their  investment plus a cumulative 8% per year (not  compounded) on
         their investment  (reduced by  distributions  other than from Cash Flow
         from Operations),  subordinated incentive distributions equal to 15% of
         remaining Cash from Sales or Refinancings.

3.       Provided the limited partners have received distributions equal to 100%
         of their  capital  contributions  plus a  cumulative  6% per year  (not
         compounded) on their investment  (reduced by  distributions  other than
         distributions from Cash Flow from Operations), brokerage commissions at
         the  lesser  of 3% of  the  sales  price  of a  property  or  50%  of a
         competitive commission.

         During  1997,  approximately  $399,000  was paid to PSI with respect to
items 1, 2, and 3 above. The Partnership owns interests in 33 properties  (which
exclude  the  properties  transferred  to PSBPLP in  January  1997);  32 of such
properties are held in a general  partnership  comprised of the  Partnership and
PSI.

         The Partnership and the Joint Venture have a Management  Agreement with
PSI pursuant to which the  Partnership and the Joint Venture pay PSI a fee of 6%
of the gross revenues of the mini-warehouse  spaces operated for the Partnership
and the Joint Venture.  During 1997, the  Partnership and the Joint Venture paid
fees of $816,000 to PSI pursuant to the Management Agreement.

         Through 1996, the Partnership  and Joint Venture's  business parks were
managed by a  predecessor  of PSBPLP  pursuant to a Management  Agreement  which
provides for the payment of a fee by the Partnership of 5% of the gross revenues
of the commercial  space operated for the Partnership and the Joint Venture.  In
January  1997,  the  Partnership,  the Joint  Venture and PSI and other  related
partnerships  transferred a total of 35 business  parks to 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  and Joint Venture's  business parks in exchange for a partnership
interest in PSBPLP.  The general partner of PSBPLP is PS Business Parks, Inc., a
REIT traded on the American Stock Exchange.

                         Report of Independent Auditors




The Partners
PS Partners V, Ltd.,
A California Limited Partnership


We have audited the balance sheets of PS Partners V, Ltd., a California  Limited
Partnership  as of  December  31, 1997 and 1996 and the  related  statements  of
income,  partners'  equity,  and cash  flows for each of the three  years in the
period ended December 31, 1997. Our audits also included the financial statement
schedule  listed in the Index at Item  14(a).  These  financial  statements  and
schedule  are  the   responsibility   of  the  Partnership's   management.   Our
responsibility  is to  express  an opinion  on these  financial  statements  and
schedule based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all  material  respects,  the  financial  position  of PS  Partners  V, Ltd.,  a
California  Limited  Partnership,  at  December  31,  1997  and  1996,  and  the
consolidated  results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended  December  31,  1997,  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles.  Also, in our opinion,  the related  financial
statement  schedule,   when  considered  in  relation  to  the  basic  financial
statements  taken as a whole,  presents  fairly  in all  material  respects  the
information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 1, the financial  statements  have been restated to account
for certain joint ventures  previously  consolidated  by the  Partnership on the
equity method.







                                                               ERNST & YOUNG LLP

                              PS PARTNERS V, Ltd.,
                        a California Limited Partnership
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                December 31, 1997

1.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Partnership Matters

         Description of Partnership
         --------------------------

                  PS Partners V, Ltd., a  California  Limited  Partnership  (the
         "Partnership")  was formed with the  proceeds of an  interstate  public
         offering.  PSI  Associates  II, Inc.  ("PSA"),  an  affiliate of Public
         Storage Management, Inc., organized the Partnership along with B. Wayne
         Hughes ("Hughes"). In September 1993, Storage Equities, Inc., now known
         as Public Storage, Inc. ("PSI"), a California corporation, acquired the
         interest of PSA relating to its general partner capital contribution in
         the Partnership and was substituted as a co-general partner in place of
         PSA.

                  In 1995,  there was a series of mergers  among Public  Storage
         Management, Inc. (which was the Partnership's mini-warehouse operator),
         Public  Storage,  Inc.  and their  affiliates  (collectively,  "PSMI"),
         culminating in the November 16, 1995 merger (the "PSMI Merger") of PSMI
         into Storage Equities,  Inc. In the PSMI Merger, Storage Equities, Inc.
         was renamed Public Storage,  Inc. and it acquired  substantially all of
         PSMI's United States real estate  operations and became the operator of
         the mini-warehouse properties that the Partnership has an interest in.

                  The  Partnership  has  invested  in  existing   mini-warehouse
         storage facilities which offer  self-service  storage spaces for lease,
         usually on a  month-to-month  basis,  to the  general  public and, to a
         lesser  extent,  in  existing  business  park  facilities  which  offer
         industrial and office space for lease.

                  The Partnership has ownership interests in 33 properties in 14
         states (collectively  referred to as the "Mini-Warehouse  Properties"),
         which excludes two properties  transferred to PS Business  Parks,  L.P.
         ("PSBPLP") in January 1997. 32 of the properties are owned by SEI/PSP V
         Joint Ventures (the "Joint Venture"), a general partnership between the
         Partnership and PSI. The Partnership is the managing general partner of
         the  Joint  Venture,   with  ownership   interests  in  the  individual
         properties of the Joint Venture ranging from 50% to 70.6%.

                  As used hereinafter, the Joint Venture and PSBPLP are referred
         to as the "Real Estate Entities."

         Basis of Presentation
         ---------------------

                  The   financial   statements   include  the  accounts  of  the
         Partnership.  The accounts of the Joint Venture,  which the Partnership
         does not control,  are not  consolidated  with the  Partnership and the
         Partnership's  interest in the Joint  Venture is  accounted  for on the
         equity method.

                  The Partnership does not control the Joint Venture because PSI
         has  significant  control  rights with respect to the management of the
         properties,  including the right to compel the sale of each property in
         the Joint  Venture and the right to require the  Partnership  to submit
         operating budgets.

1.       Summary of  Significant  Accounting  Policies and  Partnership  Matters
         (Continued)

                  Previously,  the Partnership consolidated the Joint Venture in
         its financial  statements.  The accompanying  financial  statements for
         1997,  1996,  and 1995 have been restated to  de-consolidate  the Joint
         Venture.  This  restatement  had no impact upon net income or Partner's
         Equity. The primary impact of this change was to reduce total assets by
         $32,432,000 and $32,164,000 in 1997 and 1996,  respectively;  the total
         of minority  interest and liabilities was reduced by the  corresponding
         same amount in each period.  Total revenues  decreased by  $11,050,000,
         $12,471,000, and $12,126,000, respectively, in the years ended December
         31, 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively;  the total of minority interest
         in income and expenses were reduced by the corresponding same amount in
         each period.

                  Under the terms of the general  partnership  agreement  of the
         Joint Venture all depreciation  and  amortization  with respect to each
         property  is  allocated  solely to the  Partnership  until the  limited
         partners recover their initial capital  contribution.  Thereafter,  all
         depreciation  and  amortization  is  allocated  solely  to PSI until it
         recovers its initial capital contribution.  All remaining  depreciation
         and  amortization is allocated to the Partnership and PSI in proportion
         to their ownership percentages.

         Under  the  terms  of  the   partnership   agreements,   for   property
         acquisitions in which PSI issued convertible  securities to the sellers
         for its interest,  PSI's rights to receive cash flow distributions from
         the  partnerships  for any year after the first year of  operation  are
         subordinated  to  cash  distributions  to the  Partnership  equal  to a
         cumulative  annual 7% of its cash  investment (not  compounded).  These
         agreements also specify that upon sale or refinancing of a property for
         more than its original purchase price,  distribution of proceeds to PSI
         is  subordinated  to the return to the Partnership of the amount of its
         cash investment and the 7% distribution described above.

         Depreciation and amortization
         -----------------------------

                  The Partnership and the Joint Venture depreciate the buildings
         and equipment on a straight-line  method over estimated useful lives of
         25 and 5 years, respectively.  Leasing commissions relating to business
         park properties are expensed when incurred.

         Revenue Recognition
         -------------------

                  Property rents are recognized as earned.

         Allocation of Net Income
         ------------------------

                  The  General  Partners'  share of net  income  consists  of an
         amount attributable to their 1% capital  contribution and an additional
         percentage  of cash flow (as defined,  see Note 3) which relates to the
         General  Partners'  share  of cash  distributions  as set  forth in the
         Partnership  Agreement.  All  remaining  net income is allocated to the
         limited partners.

         Per Unit Data
         -------------

                  Per unit data is based on the  number of  limited  partnership
         units (148,000) outstanding during the year.

         (Continued)

         Environmental Cost
         ------------------

         Substantially   all  of  the  real  estate   facilities  in  which  the
         Partnership has an interest were acquired prior to the time that it was
         customary  to  conduct   extensive   environmental   investigations  in
         connection with the property acquisitions. During the fourth quarter of
         1995,  an   independent   environmental   consulting   firm   completed
         environmental  assessments on the Partnership's and the Joint Venture's
         properties  to evaluate the  environmental  condition of, and potential
         environmental liabilities of such properties. Based on the assessments,
         the  Partnership  believes that after  December 31, 1997 it is probable
         that the Mini-Warehouse  Properties will incur costs totaling $110,000.
         During 1997, 1996, and 1995, the Partnership and the Joint Venture paid
         none,  $1,000,  and  $36,000,  respectively,  in  connection  with  the
         environmental  remediations.  Although  there can be no assurance,  the
         Partnership is not aware of any unaccrued  environmental  contamination
         of the Mini-Warehouse Properties which individually or in the aggregate
         would be  material to the  Partnership's  overall  business,  financial
         condition, or results of operations.

         Use of Estimates
         ----------------

                  The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
         generally accepted  accounting  principles  requires management to make
         estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect the  amounts  reported in the
         financial  statements  and  accompanying  notes.  Actual  results could
         differ from those estimates.

         Cash Distributions
         ------------------

                  The Partnership Agreement provides for quarterly distributions
         of cash flow from operations (as defined).  Cash distributions per unit
         were $24.00, $24.00 and $30.02 for 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively.

         Cash and Cash Equivalents
         -------------------------

                  For financial  statement purposes,  the Partnership  considers
         all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months
         or less to be cash equivalents.

2.       Real Estate Facilities

                  In 1995,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued
         Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 121 ("Statement 121"),
         "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived
         Assets to be Disposed of." Statement 121 requires  impairment losses to
         be recorded on long-lived  assets used in operations when indicators of
         impairment are present and the undiscounted  cash flows estimated to be
         generated  by those assets are less than the assets'  carrying  amount.
         Statement 121 also  addresses the method of accounting  for  long-lived
         assets  that are  expected  to be  disposed.  The  Partnership  adopted
         Statement 121 in 1996 and the adoption had no effect.

2.       Real Estate Facilities (Continued)

                  In January 1997,  the  Partnership,  the Joint Venture and PSI
         and other related partnerships transferred a total of 35 business parks
         to 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 and the Joint Venture's
         business  parks in exchange for a partnership  interest in PSBPLP.  The
         general partner of PSBPLP is PS Business Parks, Inc.

3.       Investment in real estate entities

                 During  1997,  1996,  and  1995,  the  Partnership   recognized
         earnings from the Real Estate  Entities of  $3,056,000,  $2,221,000 and
         $2,402,000,  respectively,  and received  cash  distributions  totaling
         $4,695,000,  $2,222000,  and  $4,809,000,  respectively  from  the Real
         Estate Entities.

                 The accounting policies of the Real Estate Entities are similar
         to that of the  Partnership.  Summarized  combined  financial data with
         respect to the Real Estate Entities are as follows:

                                                         1997            1996
                                                    ------------    ------------
For the year ended December 31,  
    Total revenues                                   $45,498,000     $14,692,000
    Minority interest in income                       $8,566,000              $0
    Net income                                       $10,359,000      $5,678,000

At December 31,
    Total assets, net of accumulated depreciation   $384,357,000     $62,385,000
    Total liabilities                                $12,928,000      $1,107,000
    Total minority interest                         $168,665,000              $0
    Total equity                                    $202,764,000     $61,278,000

                  The  increase in the size of the combined  financial  position
         and operating  results,  respectively,  of the Real Estate Entities for
         the  year  ended   December   31,  1997  and  at  December   31,  1997,
         respectively,  as  compared  to prior  periods,  is the  result  of the
         January 1997 transfer of business  parks owned by the  Partnership  and
         the  Joint  Venture  to  PSBPLP,  which was  formed to own and  operate
         business parks. PSI has a significant interest in PSBPLP.

                 Financial  statements  of the Joint  Venture are filed with the
         Partnership's Form 10-K/A for 1997, in Item 14. PS Business Parks, Inc.
         is a registrant  with the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  and its
         filings can be accessed through the Securities and Exchange Commission.

4.       General Partners' Equity

                  The General Partners have a 1% interest in the Partnership. In
         addition,   the  General   Partners   have  a  10%   interest  in  cash
         distributions  attributable to operations,  exclusive of  distributions
         attributable to sales and refinancing proceeds.

                                      F-10

<PAGE>

4.       General Partners' Equity (Continued)

                  Proceeds  from  sales  and  refinancings  will be  distributed
         entirely to the limited  partners  until the limited  partners  recover
         their  investment plus a cumulative 8% annual return (not  compounded);
         thereafter,  the General  Partners  have a 15%  interest  in  remaining
         proceeds.

5.       Related Party Transactions

                  The  Partnership  has a management  agreement with PSI whereby
         PSI operates the Mini-Warehouse Properties for a fee equal to 6% of the
         facilities' monthly gross revenue (as defined).

                  In  January  1997,  the  Partnership  and  the  Joint  Venture
         transferred  their business park facilities to PSBPLP in exchange for a
         partnership interest in PSBPLP.

                  PSI has a significant economic interest in PSBPLP and PSBP.

6.       Leases

                  The   Partnership   has   invested   primarily   in   existing
         mini-warehouse  storage  facilities  which offer  self-service  storage
         spaces  for lease to the  general  public.  Leases  for such  space are
         usually on a month-to-month basis.

7.       Taxes Based on Income

                  Taxes based on income are the responsibility of the individual
         partners and,  accordingly,  the Partnership's  financial statements do
         not reflect a provision for such taxes.

                  Unaudited  taxable net income was  $6,409,000,  $1,831,000 and
         $1,813,000  for the  years  ended  December  31,  1997,  1996 and 1995,
         respectively.  The difference between taxable income and book income is
         primarily related to timing differences in depreciation expense.

                         Report of Independent Auditors




The Partners
SEI/PSP V Joint Ventures


We have  audited  the  balance  sheets  of the  SEI/PSP V Joint  Ventures  as of
December  31,  1997 and 1996 and the  related  statements  of income,  partners'
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period  ended  December
31, 1997. Our audits also included the financial  statement  schedule  listed in
the  Index at Item 14 (a).  These  financial  statements  and  schedule  are the
responsibility  of the Joint  Ventures'  management.  Our  responsibility  is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the SEI/PSP V Joint Ventures at
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its operations and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended  December 31,  1997,  in  conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related
financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements  taken as a whole,  presents  fairly  in all  material  respects  the
information set forth therein.

                            SEI/PSP V JOINT VENTURES
                        a California Limited Partnership
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                December 31, 1997

1.       Description of Partnership 

                  SEI/PSP V Joint  Ventures (the "Joint  Venture") was formed on
         December 31, 1990 in connection with the  consolidation  of 22 separate
         general  partnerships  between  Public  Storage  Inc.  ("PSI")  and  PS
         Partners V, Ltd. ("PSP V"). The Joint Venture,  through its predecessor
         general partnerships,  invested in existing  mini-warehouse  facilities
         which  offer  self-service  storage  spaces  for  lease,  usually  on a
         month-to-month basis, to the general public and, to a lesser extent, in
         existing  business park  facilities  which offer  industrial and office
         space for lease.

                  The Joint Venture owns 32 properties  (referred to hereinafter
         as  the  "Mini-Warehouses"),   which  excludes  a  property  which  was
         transferred to PS Business Parks, L.P.  ("PSBPLP") in January 1997. PSP
         V is the  managing  general  partner  of the  Joint  Venture,  with its
         ownership interests in the properties of the Joint Venture ranging from
         50% to 70.6%.

2.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Partnership Matters

         Basis of Presentation
         ---------------------

                  The  financial  statements  include the  accounts of the Joint
         Venture.

                  Under the terms of the general  partnership  agreement  of the
         Joint  Venture,   for  property   acquisitions   in  which  PSI  issued
         convertible securities to the sellers for its interest,  PSI's right to
         receive  cash flow  distributions  for any year after the first year of
         operation are  subordinated to cash  distributions  to PSP V equal to a
         cumulative  annual  7% of its  cash  investment  (not  compounded).  In
         addition,  upon sale or  refinancing  of a  property  for more than its
         original   purchase   price,   distribution   of  proceeds  to  PSI  is
         subordinated  to  the  return  to  PSP V of  the  amount  of  its  cash
         investment and the 7% distribution described above.

         Depreciation and amortization
         -----------------------------

                  The Joint Venture depreciates the buildings and equipment on a
         straight-line  method over  estimated  useful  lives of 25 and 5 years,
         respectively.  Leasing commissions relating to business park properties
         are expensed when incurred.

         Revenue Recognition
         -------------------

                  Property rents are recognized as earned.

         Allocation of Net Income to PSP V and PSI
         -----------------------------------------

                  Net income prior to depreciation is allocated to PSP V and PSI
         based upon their relative  ownership  interest in each property and the
         results of each property.

                  Under the terms of the general  partnership  agreement  of the
         Joint Venture all depreciation  and  amortization  with respect to each
         Joint  Venture  is  allocated  solely  to PSP V until it  recovers  its
         initial  capital   contribution.   Thereafter,   all  depreciation  and
         amortization  is allocated  solely to PSI until it recovers its initial
         capital  contribution.  All remaining  depreciation and amortization is
         allocated  to  PSP  V  and  PSI  in  proportion   to  their   ownership
         percentages.

2.       Summary of  Significant  Accounting  Policies and  Partnership  Matters
         (Continued)

         Cash Distributions
         ------------------

                  The  general  partnership   agreement  of  the  Joint  Venture
         provides for regular  distributions  of cash flow from  operations  (as
         defined).

         Cash and Cash Equivalents
         -------------------------

                  For financial statement purposes,  the Joint Venture considers
         all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months
         or less to be cash equivalents.

         Environmental Cost
         ------------------

                  Substantially  all of the real estate  facilities in which the
         Joint Venture has an interest  were acquired  prior to the time that it
         was  customary to conduct  extensive  environmental  investigations  in
         connection with the property acquisitions. During the fourth quarter of
         1995,  an   independent   environmental   consulting   firm   completed
         environmental assessments on the Joint Venture's properties to evaluate
         the environmental condition of, and potential environmental liabilities
         of such  properties.  Based upon these  evaluations,  the Joint Venture
         accrued a total of $108,000 of environmental  expense in 1995. Although
         there  can be no  assurance,  the  Joint  Venture  is not  aware of any
         additional    unaccrued    environmental     contamination    of    the
         Mini-Warehouses.

         Use of Estimates
         ----------------

                  The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
         generally accepted  accounting  principles  requires management to make
         estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect the  amounts  reported in the
         financial  statements  and  accompanying  notes.  Actual  results could
         differ from those estimates.

3.       Real Estate Facilities

                  In 1995,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued
         Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 121 ("Statement 121"),
         "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived
         Assets to be Disposed of." Statement 121 requires  impairment losses to
         be recorded on long-lived  assets used in operations when indicators of
         impairment are present and the undiscounted  cash flows estimated to be
         generated  by those assets are less than the assets'  carrying  amount.
         Statement 121 also  addresses the method of accounting  for  long-lived
         assets that are  expected to be  disposed.  The Joint  Venture  adopted
         Statement 121 in 1996 and the adoption had no effect.

                  In  January  1997,   the  Joint  Venture  and  PSI  and  other
         affiliated partnerships of PSI transferred a total of 35 business parks
         to PSBPLP, an operating  partnership formed to own and operate business
         parks in which  PSI has a  significant  interest.  Included  among  the
         properties  transferred  was  the  Joint  Venture's  business  park  in
         exchange for a partnership  interest in PSBPLP.  The general partner of
         PSBPLP is PS Business Parks, Inc.

4.       Investment in real estate entity

                  In 1997,  the Joint Venture  recognized  $653,000 in equity in
         earnings of real estate  entities  with  respect to the  investment  in
         PSBPLP described in Note 3 above.

4.       Investment in real estate entity (Continued)

                  The  accounting  policies of PSBPLP are similar to that of the
         Joint  Venture.  Summarized  combined  financial  data with  respect to
         PSBPLP is as follows:

                                                              1997
                                                         --------------

                  The Joint Venture has a management  agreement with PSI whereby
         PSI  operates  the  Mini-Warehouses  for a  fee  equal  to  6%  of  the
         facilities' monthly gross revenue (as defined).

                  In January 1997,  the Joint Venture  transferred  its business
         park  facility  to PSBPLP in  exchange  for a  partnership  interest in
         PSBPLP.

                  PSI has a significant economic interest in PSBPLP and PSBP.

6.       Leases

                  The  Joint   Venture  has   invested   primarily  in  existing
         mini-warehouse  storage  facilities  which offer  self-service  storage
         spaces  for lease to the  general  public.  Leases  for such  space are
         usually on a month-to-month basis.

7.       Taxes Based on Income

                  Taxes based on income are the  responsibility of PSP V and PSI
         and,  accordingly,  the Joint  Venture's  financial  statements  do not
         reflect a provision for such taxes.

                  Unaudited  taxable net income was  $6,376,000,  $5,220,000 and
         $5,197,000  for the  years  ended  December  31,  1997,  1996 and 1995,
         respectively.  The difference between taxable income and book income is
         primarily related to timing differences in depreciation expense.
