                                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                                   (UNAUDITED)


1.       The accompanying  unaudited  condensed  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  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, 1999.

2.       In the opinion of management,  the  accompanying  unaudited  condensed  financial  statements  reflect all
         adjustments,  consisting of only normal accruals,  necessary to present fairly the Partnership's financial
         position at September 30, 2000,  the results of operations  for the three and nine months ended  September
         30, 2000 and 1999 and cash flows for the nine months then ended.

3.       The results of  operations  for the three and nine months  ended  September  30, 2000 are not  necessarily
         indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

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

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


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 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
in which the  Partnership  has an interest;  the  Partnership's  ability to  effectively  compete in the markets in
which it does business;  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 in which the  Partnership has an
interest.

Results of Operations

Three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to three months ended September 30, 1999:

         Our net income for the three months  ended  September  30, 2000 was $975,000  compared to $782,000 for the
three  months  ended  September  30,  1999,  representing  an increase of  $193,000,  or 24.7%.  The  increase  was
primarily due to a decrease in depreciation  expense  allocated to us with respect to the Joint Venture,  increased
interest income, decreased administrative expense, and our share of increased earnings of PSBPLP.

Property Operations

         Rental  income for our  wholly-owned  mini-warehouse  property was  $157,000  compared to $149,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively,  representing  an increase of $8,000,  or 5.4%. Cost
of operations  (including  management  fees)  increased  $13,000,  or 21.3%,  to $74,000 from $61,000 for the three
months  ended  September  30,  2000  and  1999,  respectively.  Accordingly,  for our  wholly-owned  mini-warehouse
property,  property  net  operating  income  decreased  by $5,000,  or 5.7%,  from $88,000 to $83,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively.

                                                         6

Equity in Earnings of Real Estate Entities

         Equity in earnings of real estate  entities was $903,000 in the three months ended  September  30, 2000 as
compared to $753,000  during the three months ended September 30, 1999,  representing  an increase of $150,000,  or
19.9%.  This was due  primarily  to a decrease in  depreciation  expense  allocated to us with respect to the Joint
Venture and our share of increased earnings from PSBPLP.

Interest Income

         Interest  income  increased  by $27,000 from  $26,000 for the three  months  ended  September  30, 1999 to
$53,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000, due to higher invested cash balances and interest rates.

Depreciation and Amortization

         Depreciation  and  amortization  increased  $2,000,  or 5.4%, from $37,000 to $39,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively.

Administrative

         Administrative  expense  decreased  from $48,000 for the three months ended  September 30, 1999 to $25,000
for the three months ended September 30, 2000, due primarily to lower professional fees.

Nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to nine months ended September 30, 1999:

         Our net income for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 was  $2,500,000  compared to  $2,228,000  for
the nine months  ended  September  30,  1999,  representing  an increase of  $272,000,  or 12.2%.  The increase was
primarily due to a decrease in depreciation  expense  allocated to us with respect to the Joint Venture,  increased
interest  income,  and our share of  improved  earnings  of  PSBPLP,  offset  partially  by our share of  decreased
property operations at the Mini-Warehouse Properties.

Property Operations

         Rental  income for our  wholly-owned  mini-warehouse  property was  $457,000  compared to $437,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively,  representing  an increase of $20,000,  or 4.6%. Cost
of  operations  (including  management  fees)  increased  $13,000,  or 6.5%, to $213,000 from $200,000 for the nine
months  ended  September  30,  2000  and  1999,  respectively.  Accordingly,  for our  wholly-owned  mini-warehouse

                                                         7

property,  property net  operating  income  increased by $7,000,  or 3.0%,  from  $237,000 to $244,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively.

Equity in Earnings of Real Estate Entities

         Equity in earnings of real estate  entities was $2,395,000 in the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 as
compared to $2,146,000  during the nine months ended September 30, 1999,  representing an increase of $249,000,  or
11.6%.  This was due  primarily  to a decrease in  depreciation  expense  allocated to us with respect to the Joint
Venture and our share of improved  earnings of PSBPLP  offset  partially  by lower  operating  results at the Joint
Venture's mini-warehouse properties.

Interest Income

         Interest  income  increased by $63,000,  or 92.7%,  from $68,000 for the nine months ended  September  30,
1999 to $131,000 for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000,  due to higher  invested cash balances and interest
rates.

Depreciation and Amortization

         Depreciation and  amortization  increased  $6,000,  or 5.5%, from $109,000 to $115,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively.

Administrative
         Administrative  expense  increased from $114,000 for the nine months ended  September 30, 1999 to $155,000
for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000,  due  primarily  to higher  state tax  expense and the timing of
investor relations expense.

Supplemental Property Data

         Most of our net  income is from our  share of the  operating  results  of the  Mini-Warehouse  Properties.
Therefore,  in order to evaluate our operating results,  the General Partners analyze the operating  performance of
the Mini-Warehouse Properties.

                                                         8

Three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to three months ended September 30, 1999:

         Rental income for the  Mini-Warehouse  Properties  was  $3,281,000  compared to  $3,227,000  for the three
months  ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively,  representing  an increase  of  $54,000,  or 1.7%.  The
increase in rental  income was primarily  attributable  to higher  rental rates at the  Mini-Warehouse  Properties.
The annual  average  realized rent per square foot for the  Mini-Warehouse  Properties  was $8.51 compared to $8.31
for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The weighted  average  occupancy  levels at
the  Mini-Warehouse  Properties  remained  stable at 92% for the three  months ended  September  30, 1999 and 2000,
respectively.  Cost of operations  (including  management  fees)  increased  $53,000,  or 4.3%, to $1,282,000  from
$1,229,000  for the three  months  ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  This  increase is primarily
attributable to higher  advertising  and repairs and  maintenance  expenses.  Accordingly,  for the  Mini-Warehouse
Properties,  property net operating  income  remained stable at $1,999,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1999 and 2000, respectively.

Nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to nine months ended September 30, 1999:

         Rental  income for the  Mini-Warehouse  Properties  was  $9,532,000  compared to  $9,495,000  for the nine
months  ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively,  representing  an increase  of  $37,000,  or 0.4%.  The
increase in rental income was primarily  attributable to increased rental rates at the  Mini-Warehouse  Properties,
offset  partially  by decreased  average  occupancies.  The annual  average  realized  rent per square foot for the
Mini-Warehouse  Properties  was $8.27  compared to $8.16 for the nine  months  ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.  The weighted average  occupancy levels at the  Mini-Warehouse  Properties  decreased from 92% to 91%
for the nine months ended  September  30, 1999 and 2000,  respectively.  Cost of operations  (including  management
fees) increased  $101,000,  or 2.7%, to $3,797,000 from $3,696,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and
1999,  respectively.  This  increase is primarily  attributable  to higher  repairs and  maintenance,  advertising,
payroll and office  expenses.  Accordingly,  for the  Mini-Warehouse  Properties,  property  net  operating  income
decreased by $64,000,  or 1.1%,  from  $5,799,000  to $5,735,000  for the nine months ended  September 30, 1999 and
2000, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         We have  adequate  sources  of cash to finance  operations,  both on a  short-term  and  long-term  basis,
primarily  from  internally  generated  cash from  property  operations  and cash  reserves.  Cash  generated  from

                                                         9


operations and  distributions  from real estate entities  ($4,095,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000)
has been sufficient to meet all our current obligations.

         Total capital  improvements  for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 with respect to our wholly-owned
property was $2,000.  During the remainder of fiscal 2000, we do not anticipate  incurring  additional  significant
costs for capital improvements with respect to this property

         We paid  distributions  to the limited  and general  partners  totaling  $2,678,000  ($17.85 per unit) and
$327,000,  respectively,  during  the first nine  months of 2000.  Future  distribution  rates may be  adjusted  to
levels which are supported by operating cash flow after capital improvements and any other necessary obligations.
