   nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 and cash flows for the nine
   months then ended.

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


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

THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 COMPARED TO THREE AND NINE MONTHS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994:

   The Partnership's net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was
$1,649,000 compared to $1,652,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1994,
representing a decrease of $3,000.  This decrease was primarily due to increases
in depreciation and administrative expenses, partially offset by increased
property operating results at the Partnership's facilities combined with an
increase in interest income.  Net income for the three months ended September
30, 1995 was $558,000 compared to $630,000 for the three months ended September
30, 1994, representing a decrease of $72,000.  The decrease was primarily due to
a decrease in property operating results, combined with increases in
depreciation  and administrative expenses.

   Net property income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was
$4,999,000 compared to $4,934,000 for the same period in 1994, representing an
increase of $65,000.  Net property income for the three months ended September
30, 1995 was $1,708,000 compared to $1,732,000 for the same period in 1994,
representing a decrease of $24,000.

   Rental income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 was
$7,751,000 and $7,537,000, respectively, representing an increase of $214,000,
or 3%.  Rental income for the three months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 was
$2,641,000 and $2,594,000, respectively, representing an increase of $47,000, or
2%.

   The increases in rental income were the result of increased average realized
rental rates at the Partnership's facilities.  The weighted average occupancy
levels at the mini-warehouse and business park facilities were 89% and 99%,
respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared to 90% and
98% respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1994.  The monthly
average realized rent per square foot for the mini-warehouse and business park
facilities was $.60 and $.48, respectively, for the nine months ended September
30, 1995 and $.58 and $.45, respectively, for the nine months ended September
30, 1994.

   Cost of operations (including management fees) was $2,752,000 and $2,603,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively,
representing an increase of $149,000.  Cost

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


of operations (including management fees) was $933,000 and $862,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, representing an
increase of $71,000. These increases were primarily attributable to increases in
property taxes and payroll expenses.

   Net property income at the Partnership's mini-warehouse facilities for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995  increased $22,000 and decreased $12,000
for the three months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the same periods in
1994.  For the nine months, rental income at the mini-warehouse facilities
increased $128,000, or 2%, from $6,956,000 in 1994 to $7,084,000 in 1995.  For
the three months, rental income at the mini-warehouse facilities increased
$23,000, or 1%, from $2,406,000 in 1994 to $2,429,000 in 1995.

   Cost of operations (including management fees) at the mini-warehouse
facilities was $2,445,000 and $2,339,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1995 and 1994, respectively, representing an increase of $106,000.  Cost of
operations (including management fees) at the mini-warehouse facilities was
$813,000 and $778,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, representing an increase of $35,000.

   Net property income at the Partnership's business park facilities for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995  increased $43,000 and decreased $12,000
for the three months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to the same periods in
1994.  Rental income at the business park facilities increased from $581,000 in
1994 to $667,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, representing an
increase of $86,000 or 15%.  Rental income at the business park facilities
increased from $188,000 to $212,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1994 and 1995, respectively, representing an increase of $24,000 or 13%.  The
increase in rental income at the business park facilities is partially due to
the buyout of a lease ($36,000) by a tenant which vacated its leased space prior
to the termination of the lease at one of the facilities.

   Cost of operations (including management fees) at the business parks was
$307,000 and $264,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, representing an increase of $43,000.  Cost of operations
(including management fees) at the business parks was $120,000 and $84,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, representing
an increase of $36,000.  These increases are primarily a result of an increase
in property tax expense due to a higher reassessed value at both of the
Partnership's business parks.

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


   Administrative expenses increased $45,000 from $73,000 in 1994 to $118,000 in
1995.  This increase is principally a result of non-recurring expenses totaling
$24,000 incurred in connection with having the Partnership's facilities undergo
environmental studies, combined with an increase in investor services expenses.

   Minority interest in income decreased $1,000 to $1,671,000 from $1,672,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  This
decrease was primarily attributable to the allocation of depreciation and
amortization expense (pursuant to the partnership agreement with respect to
those real estate facilities which are jointly owned with SEI) to SEI of $12,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 (none in 1994), partially offset by
increased operations at the Partnership's real estate facilities for those
properties owned jointly with SEI.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

   The Partnership has adequate sources of cash to finance its operations, both
on a short-term and long-term basis, primarily from internally generated cash
from property operations and cash reserves. Cash generated from operations
($5,184,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995) has been sufficient to
meet all current obligations of the Partnership.

   During 1995, the Partnership anticipates approximately $378,000 of capital
improvements (of which $142,000 represents SEI's joint venture share).  Total
capital improvements were $335,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
of which $218,000 represents the Partnership's share.

   The Partnership paid distributions to the limited and general partners
totaling $3,833,000 ($35.22 per unit) and $470,000, respectively, during the
first nine months of 1995, including a special distribution in the third
quarter.  The special distribution, totaling $891,000 ($8.19 per unit) to the
limited partners and $109,000 to the general partners, was the result of
distributions of excess cash reserves.  Future distribution rates may be
adjusted to levels which are supported by operating cash flow after capital
improvements and any other necessary obligations.
