              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 1998
                                   (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, 1997.

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, 1998,  the results of operations for the
       three  months  ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 and cash flows for the three
       months then ended.

3.     The results of  operations  for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are
       not  necessarily  indicative  of the results to be expected  for the full
       year.

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

                        a California Limited Partnership
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


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

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997:

       The  Partnership's  net income was  $651,000  and  $584,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively,  representing an increase of
$67,000,  or 11%. This increase is primarily  attributable to an increase in the
Partnership's  mini-warehouse  operations,  partially  offset by an  increase in
minority interest in income for those properties held in joint venture with PSI.

       Rental  income  for  the  Partnership's   mini-warehouse  operations  was
$2,949,000  compared to $2,822,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively, representing an increase of $127,000, or 5%. The increase in
rental income was primarily attributable to increased rental rates and occupancy
levels at the mini-warehouse  facilities.  The monthly average realized rent per
square foot for the mini-warehouse  facilities was $.64 compared to $.63 for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,  respectively.  The weighted average
occupancy levels at the mini-warehouse  facilities increased from 89% to 91% for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. Cost of operations
(including  management  fees)  increased  $54,000,  or 5%,  to  $1,146,000  from
$1,092,000  for the three  months  ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,  respectively.
This increase was primarily attributable to increases in advertising and repairs
and maintenance  expenses.  Accordingly,  for the  Partnership's  mini-warehouse
operations,  property net  operating  income  increased by $73,000,  or 4%, from
$1,730,000  to  $1,803,000  for the three  months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998,
respectively.

       Depreciation and amortization  increased $27,000, or 4%, from $725,000 to
$752,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively.  This
increase was primarily  attributable to the depreciation of capital expenditures
made during 1997 and 1998.

       Minority  interest in income was $620,000 in 1998 compared to $582,000 in
1997,  representing  an increase of $38,000,  or 7%. This increase was primarily
attributable  to an  increase in  operations  at the  Partnership's  real estate
facilities owned jointly with 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



                                       7
<PAGE>



cash from property operations and cash reserves.  Cash generated from operations
($1,610,000  for the three months ended March 31, 1998) has been  sufficient  to
meet all current obligations of the Partnership.

       During  1998,  the  Partnership  anticipates  approximately  $934,000  of
capital  improvements (of which $287,000  represents PSI's joint venture share).
Total  capital  improvements  were $104,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1998 of which $72,000 represents the Partnership's share.

       The Partnership  paid  distributions  to the limited and general partners
totaling $892,000 ($5.95 per unit) and $109,000, respectively,  during the first
three months of 1998. Future  distribution rates may be adjusted to levels which
are supported by operating  cash flow after capital  improvements  and any other
necessary obligations.
