Forward Looking Statements
- --------------------------

         When  used  within  this  document,  the words  "expects,"  "believes,"
"anticipates,"  "should,"  "estimates," and similar  expressions are intended to
identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of that term in Section
27A of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1933, as amended,  and in Section 21F of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements
involve known and unknown risks,  uncertainties,  and other  factors,  which may
cause the actual  results and  performance  of the  Partnership to be materially
different  from those  expressed or implied in the forward  looking  statements.
Such factors include the impact of competition from new and existing real estate
facilities  which could  impact  rents and  occupancy  levels at the real estate
facilities that the Partnership has an interest in; the Partnership's ability to
effectively  compete in the markets that it does  business in; the impact of the
regulatory  environment  as  well  as  national,   state,  and  local  laws  and
regulations including, without limitation, those governing Partnerships; and the
impact of general economic  conditions upon rental rates and occupancy levels at
the real estate facilities that the Partnership has an interest in.

General
- -------

         PS Partners VI, Ltd.  (the  "Partnership")  is a publicly  held limited
partnership  formed  under  the  California  Revised  Limited  Partnership  Act.
Commencing in October 1985, 150,000 units of limited  partnership  interest (the
"Units") were offered to the public in an interstate offering.  The offering was
completed in June 1986.

         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  VI 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 Joint Venture were managed by
Public  Storage  Commercial  Properties  Group,  Inc.  ("PSCPG")  pursuant  to a
Management Agreement.  In January 1997, the 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 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

                                       2

<PAGE>

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  30  of  the  Partnership's  32  properties  (which  excludes  the
properties  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 January 1, 1999, PSI owned  approximately  61.28% of
the Partnership's  limited partnership units and (iv) PSI is the operator of the
32 properties in which the  Partnership has an interest (these 32 properties are
referred to collectively hereinafter as the "Mini-Warehouse Properties").

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

         The  Partnership  owns  interests  in  32  properties   (excluding  the
properties  transferred  to PSBPLP in January 1997);  30 of such  properties are
owned by the Joint  Venture.  The  Partnership  purchased  its last  property in
November,  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 194 to 1,191 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.

                                       3

<PAGE>

         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 Joint Venture owned and operated two business  parks;
one in Signal Hill, California and one in Tempe,  Arizona.  These business parks
were  transferred  to PSBPLP  in  January  1997 in  exchange  for a  partnership
interest in PSBPLP.

Investment Objectives and Policies
- ----------------------------------

         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 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 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  Mini-Warehouse  Properties  (consisting  not  only of the
Partnership's  interest but also including PSI's  interest),  as of December 31,
1996, was $75,000,000. 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 24% to 50%) in 30 of
Mini-Warehouse  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  Mini-Warehouse  Properties  (an
aggregate of  $7,282,000).  Value  estimates  were then made using both a direct
capitalization  analysis  ($76,400,000)  and a  discounted  cash  flow  analysis
($74,700,000).  In applying the discounted  cash flow  analysis,  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
($74,000,000)  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.

         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  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.

                                       4

<PAGE>

         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  September  1997,  PSI  completed  a cash  tender  offer,  which had
commenced  in July  1997,  pursuant  to which  PSI  acquired  a total of  13,075
additional limited partnership units at $351 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, 1998, the telephone  reservation  system was supporting
         rental activity at all of the Partnership's properties. PSI's toll-free
         telephone  referral  system  services  approximately  175,000 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 were 92% in 1998 compared to 91% in 1997. The
         monthly  average  realized  rent  per  occupied  square  foot  for  the
         Mini-Warehouse  Properties  was $.66 in 1998  compared to $.64 in 1997.
         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 170
         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 120 district managers,  33 regional
         managers and 11 divisional  managers who report to the president of the
         mini-warehouse  property  operator (who has 15 years of experience 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 owners'  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.

Business Park Operator
- ----------------------

         Through 1996,  the business  parks of 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

                                       6

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, district 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.

         The weighted average occupancy level for the Mini-Warehouse  Properties
was 92% in 1998 compared to 91% in 1997. The monthly  average  realized rent per
square foot for the Mini-Warehouse  Properties was $.66 in 1998 compared to $.64
in 1997.

         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  on  the
Mini-Warehouse  Properties  to  evaluate  the  environmental  condition  of, and
potential environmental  liabilities of, such properties.  Although there can be
no assurance, the Partnership is not aware of any environmental contamination of

                                       9

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 and 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 1998.

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, 1998, there were approximately 2,435 record holders of Units.

         The Partnership  makes quarterly  distributions  of all "Cash Available
for  Distribution"  and will  make  distributions  of all  "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.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
- --------------------------

         When  used  within  this  document,  the words  "expects,"  "believes,"
"anticipates,"  "should,"  "estimates," and similar  expressions are intended to
identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of that term in Section
27A of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1933, as amended,  and in Section 21F of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements
involve known and unknown risks,  uncertainties,  and other  factors,  which may
cause the actual  results and  performance  of the  Partnership to be materially
different  from those  expressed or implied in the forward  looking  statements.
Such factors include the impact of competition from new and existing real estate
facilities  which could  impact  rents and  occupancy  levels at the real estate
facilities that the Partnership has an interest in; the Partnership's ability to
effectively  compete in the markets that it does  business in; the impact of the
regulatory  environment  as  well  as  national,   state,  and  local  laws  and
regulations including, without limitation, those governing Partnerships; and the
impact of general economic  conditions upon rental rates and occupancy levels at
the real estate facilities that the Partnership has an interest in.

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

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997:

         The  Partnership's  net  income  was  $2,985,000  in 1998  compared  to
$2,680,000 in 1997, representing an increase of $305,000, or 11.4%. 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").

         PROPERTY OPERATIONS:  Rental income for the Partnership's  wholly-owned
mini-warehouse properties was $573,000 in 1998 compared to $579,000 during 1997,
representing  a  decrease  of $6,000,  or 1.0%.  Cost of  operations  (including
management fees) increased $30,000,  or 12.6%, to $268,000 in 1998 from $238,000
during  1997.  Accordingly,  for the  Partnership's  mini-warehouse  operations,
property net operating income decreased by $36,000,  or 10.6%,  from $341,000 in
1997 to $305,000 in 1998.

         EQUITY IN EARNINGS OF REAL ESTATE ENTITIES:  Equity in earnings of real
estate  entities was  $2,847,000 in 1998 as compared to $2,500,000  during 1997,
representing an increase of $347,000,  or 13.9%. This increase was due primarily
to the Partnership's  share of improved operating results at the Joint Venture's
mini-warehouse properties.

         DEPRECIATION   AND   AMORTIZATION:    Depreciation   and   amortization
attributable to the  Mini-Warehouse  Properties  increased  $4,000, or 3.1% from
$130,000  in  1997  to  $134,000   during  1998.  This  increase  was  primarily
attributable to the depreciation of capital expenditures made during 1998.

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

         The  Partnership's  net  income  was  $2,680,000  in 1997  compared  to
$2,293,000 in 1996, representing an increase of $387,000, or 16.9%. The increase
is due primarily to the  Partnership's  share of an improvement in operations of
the Mini-Warehouse Properties.

         PROPERTY OPERATIONS:  Rental income for the Partnership's  wholly-owned
mini-warehouse properties was $579,000 in 1997 compared to $573,000 during 1996,
representing  an  increase of $6,000,  or 1.0%.  Cost of  operations  (including
management  fees) increased  $7,000,  or 3.0%, to $238,000 in 1997 from $231,000
during  1996.  Accordingly,  for the  Partnership's  mini-warehouse  operations,
property net operating  income  decreased by $1,000,  or 0.3%,  from $342,000 in
1996 to $341,000 in 1997.

         EQUITY IN EARNINGS OF REAL ESTATE ENTITIES:  Equity in earnings of real
estate  entities was  $2,500,000 in 1997 as compared to $2,103,000  during 1996,
representing an increase of $397,000,  or 18.9%. This increase was due primarily
to the Partnership's  share of improved operating results at the Joint Venture's
mini-warehouse properties.

         DEPRECIATION   AND   AMORTIZATION:    Depreciation   and   amortization
attributable to the  Mini-Warehouse  Properties  increased  $5,000, or 4.0% from
$125,000  in  1996  to  $130,000   during  1997.  This  increase  was  primarily
attributable to the  depreciation of capital  expenditures  made during 1996 and
1997.

SUPPLEMENTAL PROPERTY DATA
- --------------------------

         During 1998 and 1997,  a majority of the  Partnership's  net income was
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, 1998  COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED  DECEMBER 31,
1997:  Rental income for the  Mini-Warehouse  Properties was $12,333,000 in 1998
compared to $11,746,000  during 1997,  representing an increase of $587,000,  or
5.0%.  The increase in rental  income was  primarily  attributable  to increased
rental rates,  combined with increased  average  occupancy  levels.  The monthly
average realized rent per square foot was $.66 in 1998 compared to $.64 in 1997.
The weighted average occupancy levels increased from 91% in 1997 to 92% in 1998.
Cost of operations  (including  management fees) increased $366,000, or 8.5%, to
$4,687,000  during 1998 from  $4,321,000  in 1997.  This  increase was primarily
attributable to increases in advertising, property tax, payroll, and repairs and
maintenance expenses.  Accordingly, for the Mini-Warehouse Properties,  property
net operating income increased by $221,000,  or 3.0%, from $7,425,000 in 1997 to
$7,646,000 during 1998.

         YEAR ENDED  DECEMBER 31, 1997  COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED  DECEMBER 31,
1996:  Rental income for the  Mini-Warehouse  Properties was $11,746,000 in 1997
compared to $11,206,000  during 1996,  representing an increase of $540,000,  or
4.8%.  The increase in rental  income was  primarily  attributable  to increased
rental rates,  combined with increased  average  occupancy  levels.  The monthly
average realized rent per square foot was $.64 in 1997 compared to $.62 in 1996.
The weighted average occupancy levels increased from 90% in 1996 to 91% in 1997.
Cost of operations  (including  management fees) increased $191,000, or 4.6%, to
$4,321,000  during 1997 from  $4,130,000  in 1996.  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 $349,000,  or 4.9%,  from  $7,076,000 in 1996 to $7,425,000  during
1997.

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, 1998 of $2,388,000.

         Cash flows from operating activities and distributions from Real Estate
($5,288,000  for the year ended December 31, 1998) have been  sufficient to meet
all current obligations of the Partnership.  Total capital  improvements for the
Partnership's  wholly-owned  properties  were $37,000,  $38,000,  and $19,000 in
1998,  1997, and 1996,  respectively.  During 1999, the Partnership  anticipates
approximately $44,000 of capital improvements to the Partnership's  wholly-owned
properties.  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.

         Total  distributions  paid to the  General  Partners  and  the  limited
partners (including per Unit amounts) for 1998 and prior years were as follows:

                            Total                      Per Unit
                         ----------                    --------
         1998            $4,007,000                     $23.80
         1997             5,007,000                      29.74
         1996             4,008,000                      23.80
         1995             4,007,000                      23.80
         1994             4,007,000                      23.80
         1993             3,265,000                      19.40
         1992             3,026,000                      17.97
         1991             4,041,000                      24.00
         1990             3,523,000                      20.93
         1989             3,368,000                      20.00
         1988             3,629,000                      21.55
         1987             4,418,000                      26.25
         1986             3,544,000                      24.87

         The  Partnership,   in  prior  years,  made   distributions   based  on
anticipated  operating cash flows.  Beginning in the second quarter of 1989, the
distribution  level was lowered to a level  supported by current  operating cash
flow after capital improvements and scheduled debt service. The General Partners
distributed, concurrently with the 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
$4.00 per Unit. The 1997  distribution  includes a special  distribution of cash
reserves of approximately  $5.94 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
- -------------------

         The Partnership utilizes PSI's information systems in connection with a
cost  sharing  and  administrative  services  agreement.  PSI has  completed  an
assessment  of  all  of its  hardware  and  software  applications  to  identify
susceptibility  to what is  commonly  referred  to as the  "Y2K  Issue"  whereby
certain computer programs have been written using two digits rather than four to
define the applicable year. Any of PSI's computer  programs or hardware with the
Y2K Issue that have date-sensitive  applications or embedded chips may recognize
a date  using "00" as the year 1900  rather  than the year  2000,  resulting  in
miscalculations or system failure causing disruptions of operations.

         PSI has two phases in its process  with respect to each of its systems;
i)  assessment,  whereby PSI  evaluates  whether the system is Y2K compliant and
identifies  the plan of  action  with  respect  to  remediating  any Y2K  issues
identified  and ii)  implementation,  whereby PSI  completes  the plan of action
prepared in the  assessment  phase and  verifies  that Y2K  compliance  has been
achieved.

         Many of PSI's critical applications,  relative to the direct management
of  properties,  have  recently  been replaced and PSI believes they are already
Year 2000  compliant.  PSI has an  implementation  in process  on the  remaining
critical  applications,  including its general ledger and related systems,  that
are believed to have Y2K issues.  PSI expects the  implementation to be complete
by June  1999.  Contingency  plans  have been  developed  for use in case  PSI's
implementations  are not  completed  on a  timely  basis.  While  PSI  presently
believes  that the impact of the Y2K Issue on its systems can be  mitigated,  if
PSI's plan for ensuring Year 2000 Compliance and the related  contingency  plans
were  to  fail,  be  insufficient,  or not be  implemented  on a  timely  basis,
Partnership operations could be materially impacted.

         Certain  of  PSI's  other  non-computer  related  systems  that  may be
impacted  by the Y2K  Issue,  such as  security  systems,  are  currently  being
evaluated,  and PSI expects  the  evaluation  to be  complete by June 1999.  PSI
expects the  implementation of any required  solutions to be complete in advance

                                       15

<PAGE>

of December 31,  1999.  PSI has not fully  evaluated  the impact of lack of Year
2000  compliance  on these  systems,  but has no reason to believe  that lack of
compliance would materially impact the Partnership's operations.

         The Partnership  exchanges electronic data with certain outside vendors
in the banking and payroll processing areas. The Partnership has been advised by
these  vendors that their  systems are or will be Year 2000  compliant,  but has
requested  a  Year  2000  compliance  certification  from  these  entities.  The
Partnership  is not aware of any other  vendors,  suppliers,  or other  external
agents with a Y2K Issue that would materially impact the  Partnership's  results
of operations,  liquidity, or capital resources. However, the Partnership has no
means of ensuring that external  agents will be Year 2000  compliant,  and there
can be no  assurance  that the  Partnership  has  identified  all such  external
agents.  The inability of external agents to complete their Year 2000 compliance
process in a timely fashion could materially impact the Partnership.  The effect
of non-compliance by external agents is not determinable.

         The cost of the PSI's year 2000 compliance  activities (which primarily
consists of the costs of new systems) to be allocated to the Partnership and the
Joint  Venture  is  estimated  at  approximately   $143,000.   These  costs  are
capitalized.  PSI's  year  2000  compliance  efforts  have not  resulted  in any
significant deferrals in other information system projects.

         The costs of the projects and the date on which PSI and the Partnership
expect  to  achieve  Year  2000  Compliance  are based  upon  management's  best
estimates,  and were derived  utilizing  numerous  assumptions of future events.
There can be no assurance  that these  estimates  will be  achieved,  and actual
results  could  differ  materially  from  those  anticipated.  There  can  be no
assurance  that the  Partnership  or PSI has identified all potential Y2K Issues
either within the Partnership,  at PSI, or at external agents. In addition,  the
impact of the Y2K issue on governmental  entities and utility  providers and the
resultant  impact on the  Partnership,  as well as  disruptions  in the  general
economy, may be material but cannot be reasonably determined or quantified.

Section 16 (a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
- --------------------------------------------------------

         Based on a review of the  reports  filed  under  Section  16 (a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to the Units that were submitted to
the Partnership,  the Partnership  believes that with respect to the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1998, B. Wayne Hughes,  Jr. and Thomas J. Barrack,  Jr., each
of whom is a director of PSI, a General Partner of the  Partnership,  each filed
his Initial Statement of Beneficial  Ownership of Securities on Form 3 after its
due date.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

         The Partnership has no subsidiaries, directors or officers. See Item 13
for a  description  of certain  transactions  between  the  Partnership  and the
General Partners and their affiliates.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT.

        (a)      At January 1, 1999, PSI beneficially owned more than  5% of the
        Units of the Partnership:


    Title                                          Amount of           Percent
     of                Name and Address of         Beneficial            of
    Class               Beneficial Owner           Ownership            Class
- ----------------     -----------------------    -----------------     ----------

Units of Limited     Public Storage, Inc.
Partnership          701 Western Avenue
Interest             Glendale, CA 91201-2394     91,927 Units (1)     61.28% (1)

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

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

                  In September  1997,  PSI completed a cash tender offer,  which
         had  commenced in July 1997,  pursuant to which PSI acquired a total of
         13,075 additional limited partnership units at $351 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.

         (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. 2-98968.  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 32 properties (which exclude
         the  properties  transferred  to PSBPLP in  January  1997);  30 of such
         properties  are  held  in  a  general  partnership   comprised  of  the

                                       20

<PAGE>

         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, 1998,  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:

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  1998,  approximately  $401,000  was paid to PSI with respect to
items 1, 2, and 3 above. The Partnership owns interests in 32 properties  (which
exclude  the  properties  transferred  to PSBPLP in  January  1997);  30 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 1998, the  Partnership and the Joint Venture paid
fees of $740,000 to PSI pursuant to the Management Agreement.

         Through  1996,  the 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  Joint  Venture  of 5% of the  gross  revenues  of the
commercial  space  operated for the Joint  Venture.  In January 1997,  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 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 VI, Ltd., a California Limited Partnership


We have audited the balance sheets of PS Partners VI, Ltd., a California Limited
Partnership,  as of December  31, 1998 and 1997 and the  related  statements  of
income,  partners'  equity,  and cash  flows for each of the three  years in the
period ended December 31, 1998. 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  VI,  Ltd.,  a
California  Limited  Partnership,  at  December  31,  1998  and  1997,  and  the
consolidated  results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended  December  31,  1998,  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles.  Also, in our opinion,  the related  financial
statement  schedule,   when  considered  in  relation  to  the  basic  financial

                              PS PARTNERS VI, LTD.
                        a California Limited Partnership
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                December 31, 1998


1.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PARTNERSHIP MATTERS

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

                  PS Partners VI, 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 in which the Partnership has an interest.

                  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 32 properties in 9
         states (collectively  referred to as the "Mini-Warehouse  Properties"),
         which exclude two  properties  transferred to PS Business  Parks,  L.P.
         ("PSBPLP") in January 1997. 30 of the  properties  are owned by SEI/PSP
         VI 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 76.2%.

                  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)

                  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,  PSI has the
         right to compel the sale of each  property in the general  partnerships
         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  proceeds  solely in cash.
         PSI's right to require the  Partnership  to sell all of the  properties
         owned jointly with the Partnership became exercisable during 1993.

         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 4) 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  partner units
         (150,000) outstanding during the periods presented.

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

                  The Partnership Agreement provides for quarterly distributions
         of cash flow from  operations  (as  defined).  Cash  distributions  per
         limited partner unit were $23.80,  $29.74,  and $23.80 for 1998,  1997,
         and 1996, respectively.

1.       SUMMARY OF  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES AND  PARTNERSHIP  MATTERS
         (CONTINUED)

         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.

         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 properties of the Partnership and the
         Joint Venture to evaluate the environmental condition of, and potential
         environmental liabilities of such properties.  Although there can be no
         assurance,   the   Partnership  is  not  aware  of  any   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.

         Segment Reporting
         -----------------

                  Effective  January 1, 1998, the  Partnership  adopted SFAS No.
         131,   "Disclosure   about   Segments  of  an  Enterprise  and  Related
         Information."  SFAS No. 131  established  standards  for the way public
         business  enterprises  report  information about operating  segments in
         annual financial  statements and requires that those enterprises report
         selected  information  about  operating  segments in interim  financial
         reports.   SFAS  No.  131  also   establishes   standards  for  related
         disclosures  about  products and services,  geographic  areas and major
         customers.  The Partnership only has one reportable  segment as defined
         within  SFAS No.  131,  therefore  the  adoption of SFAS No. 131 had no
         effect on the Partnership's disclosures.

         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.

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.

                                      F-8

2.       REAL ESTATE FACILITIES (CONTINUED)

                  In January  1997,  the  Partnership  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 Joint Venture's  business parks in exchange for a
         partnership interest in PSBPLP.
         The general partner of PSBPLP is PS Business Parks, Inc.  ("PSBP").

3.       INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE ENTITIES

                 During  1998,  1997,  and  1996,  the  Partnership   recognized
         earnings from the Real Estate  Entities of  $2,847,000,  $2,500,000 and
         $2,103,000,  respectively,  and received  cash  distributions  totaling
         $5,006,000,  $3,957,000,  and  $3,836,000,  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:

                                                         1998            1997
                                                     ------------    -----------
For the year ended December 31,
    Total revenues                                   $103,067,000    $43,479,000
    Minority interest in income                        11,208,000      8,566,000
    Net income                                         34,872,000      8,834,000

At December 31,
    Total assets, net of accumulated depreciation    $769,096,000   $384,749,000
    Total liabilities                                  67,738,000     12,906,000
    Total minority interest                           153,015,000    168,665,000
    Total equity                                      548,343,000    203,178,000

                  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,  1998  and  at  December   31,  1998,
         respectively,  as  compared  to prior  periods,  is the  result  of the
         additional  properties acquired by PSBPLP during 1997 and 1998. PSI has
         a significant interest in PSBPLP.

                 Financial  statements  of the Joint  Venture are filed with the
         Partnership's  Form 10-K for 1998, 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-9

<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 Joint Venture  transferred  its 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  $2,705,000,  $5,448,000 and
         $2,147,000  for the  years  ended  December  31,  1998,  1997 and 1996,
         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 VI Joint Ventures


We have  audited  the  balance  sheets of the  SEI/PSP VI Joint  Ventures  as of
December  31,  1998 and 1997 and the  related  statements  of income,  partners'
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period  ended  December
31, 1998. 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  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 the SEI/PSP VI Joint Ventures
at December 31, 1998 and 1997,  and the results of its operations and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, 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.




                                                               ERNST & YOUNG LLP

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                December 31, 1998



1.       DESCRIPTION OF PARTNERSHIP 

                  SEI/PSP VI Joint Ventures (the "Joint  Venture") was formed on
         December 31, 1990 in connection with the  consolidation  of 14 separate
         general  partnerships  between  Public  Storage  Inc.  ("PSI")  and  PS
         Partners  VI,  Ltd.  ("PSP  VI").   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 30 properties  (referred to hereinafter
         as the  "Mini-Warehouses"),  which excludes two  properties  which were
         transferred to PS Business Parks, L.P.  ("PSBPLP") in January 1997. PSP
         VI is the  managing  general  partner  of the Joint  Venture,  with its
         ownership interests in the properties of the Joint Venture ranging from
         50% to 76.2%.

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 VI 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 VI 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

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

                  Net income  prior to  depreciation  is allocated to PSP VI 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 VI 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  VI  and  PSI  in  proportion  to  their   ownership
         percentages.

         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.  Although  there  can be no  assurance,  the Joint
         Venture  is  not  aware  of  any  environmental  contamination  of  the
         Mini-Warehouses  which  individually  or  in  the  aggregate  would  be
         material to the Joint Venture's overall business,  financial condition,
         or results of operations.

         Segment Reporting
         -----------------

                  Effective  January 1, 1998, the Joint Venture adopted SFAS No.
         131,   "Disclosure   about   Segments  of  an  Enterprise  and  Related
         Information."  SFAS No. 131  established  standards  for the way public
         business  enterprises  report  information about operating  segments in
         annual financial  statements and requires that those enterprises report
         selected  information  about  operating  segments in interim  financial
         reports.   SFAS  No.  131  also   establishes   standards  for  related
         disclosures  about  products and services,  geographic  areas and major
         customers. The Joint Venture only has one reportable segment as defined
         within  SFAS No.  131,  therefore  the  adoption of SFAS No. 131 had no
         effect on the Joint Venture's disclosures.

         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,  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  were the Joint Venture's  business parks in exchange for a
         partnership  interest in PSBPLP.  The  general  partner of PSBPLP is PS
         Business Parks, Inc. ("PSBP").

4.       INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE ENTITY

                  In 1998 and 1997, the Joint Venture recognized  $1,047,000 and
         $734,000,  respectively,  in equity in earnings  of real estate  entity
         with respect to the investment in PSBPLP, described in Note 3 above.

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

                                                          1998           1997
                                                      -----------    -----------
 For the year ended December 31,
     Total revenues                                   $90,260,000    $31,578,000
     Minority interest in income                       11,208,000      8,566,000
     Net income                                        29,400,000      3,836,000

 At December 31,
     Total assets, net of accumulated depreciation   $709,414,000   $323,454,000
     Total liabilities                                 66,494,000     11,831,000
     Total minority interest                          153,015,000    168,665,000
     Total equity                                     489,905,000    142,958,000

                  The  increase in the size of the combined  financial  position
         and operating results,  respectively, of the Real Estate Entity for the
         year ended December 31, 1998 and at December 31, 1998, respectively, as
         compared to prior periods,  is the result of the additional  properties
         acquired by PSBPLP during 1997 and 1998. PSI has a significant interest
         in PSBPLP.

                  PS Business Parks,  Inc.,  which owns PSBPLP,  is a registrant
         with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission,  and its filings can be
         accessed through the Securities and Exchange Commission.

5.       RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

                  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  facilities  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 VI and PSI
         and,  accordingly,  the Joint  Venture's  financial  statements  do not
         reflect a provision for such taxes.

                  Unaudited  taxable net income was  $4,620,000,  $5,283,000 and
         $4,386,000  for the  years  ended  December  31,  1998,  1997 and 1996,
         respectively.  The difference between taxable income and book income is
         primarily related to timing differences in depreciation expense.
