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


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

Three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to three months ended June 30, 1995:

     The Partnership's net income was $266,000 and $276,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively,  representing a decrease of $10,000,
or 4%. This  decrease was primarily  due to increases in  depreciation  expense,
partially offset by improved operating results at the Partnership's facilities.

     Net property  income  (rental income less cost of operations and management
fees and  excluding  depreciation)  for the three  months  ended  June 30,  1996
increased  $16,000 or 3%, as rental income increased $23,000 or 3%, and costs of
operations  (including  management  fees  and  excluding  depreciation  expense)
increased $7,000 or 3%, compared to the same period in 1995. These  improvements
are due to improved  operations at the Partnership's  mini-warehouse  facilities
partially  offset by  reduced  operations  at the  Partnership's  business  park
facility.

     Rental income for the Partnership's  mini-warehouse operations was $594,000
compared  to  $565,000  for the  three  months  ended  June 30,  1996 and  1995,
respectively,  representing  an increase of $29,000,  or 5%. This  increase  was
primarily  attributable to increased rental rates and average  occupancy levels.
The  monthly  average  realized  rent per  square  foot  for the  mini-warehouse
facilities  was $.75  compared to $.73 for the three  months ended June 30, 1996
and  1995,   respectively.   The  weighted  average   occupancy  levels  at  the
mini-warehouse  facilities  was 90% and 89% for the three  months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995, respectively.  Cost of operations (including management fees) for
the  mini-warehouses  increased  $8,000 or 4%, to $189,000 from $181,000 for the
three  months  ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  This  increase  was
primarily  attributable  to  increases  in payroll and  property  tax  expenses.
Accordingly,  for the  Partnership's  mini-warehouse  operations,  property  net
operating  income  increased  $21,000 or 6%, from  $384,000 to $405,000  for the
three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

     Rental  income for the  Partnership's  business park  operations  decreased
$6,000 or 4%, to $133,000 from $139,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996
and 1995,  respectively.  The weighted average  occupancy levels at the business
park facilities was 95% compared to 97% for the three months ended June 30, 1996
and 1995,  respectively.  The monthly average  realized rent per square foot for
the business  park facility was $.60 compared to $.65 for the three months ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  Cost of operations (including management
fees) for the business parks decreased $1,000 or 2%, to $52,000 from $53,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  Accordingly,  for
the  Partnership's  business  park  facilities,  property net  operating  income
decreased  $5,000 or 6%, to $81,000 from $86,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     Depreciation and amortization  expense  increased $16,000 from $185,000 for
the three  months  ended June 30, 1995 to $201,000  for the same period in 1996.
This increase is due to the  depreciation  of capital  expenditures  made during
1995 and 1996.


Six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to six months ended June 30, 1995:

     The  Partnership's  net income was $510,000 and $536,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively,  representing a decrease of $26,000,
or 5%. This  decrease was primarily  due to increases in  depreciation  expense,
partially offset by improved operating results at the Partnership's facilities.

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


     Net property  income  (rental income less cost of operations and management
fees  and  excluding  depreciation)  for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1996
increased  $23,000 or 3%, as rental income increased $36,000 or 3%, and costs of
operations  (including  management  fees  and  excluding  depreciation  expense)
increased $13,000 or 3%, compared to the same period in 1995.

     Rental  income  for  the   Partnership's   mini-warehouse   operations  was
$1,162,000  compared to  $1,121,000  for the six months  ended June 30, 1996 and
1995,  respectively,  representing an increase of $41,000,  or 4%. This increase
was  primarily  attributable  to increased  rental rates.  The weighted  average
occupancy  levels  at the  mini-warehouse  facilities  was 89% for  both the six
months  ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.  The  monthly  average  realized  rent per
square foot for the mini-warehouse  facilities was $.75 compared to $.72 for the
six  months  ended June 30,  1996 and 1995,  respectively.  Costs of  operations
(including management fees) for the mini-warehouses  increased $20,000 or 6%, to
$381,000  from  $361,000  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1996  and  1995,
respectively.  These  increases  were  primarily  attributable  to  increases in
payroll  and  property  tax  expenses.   Accordingly,   for  the   Partnership's
mini-warehouse  operations,  property net operating income increased  $21,000 or
3%, from  $760,000 to $781,000  for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996,
respectively.

     Rental  income for the  Partnership's  business park  operations  decreased
$5,000 or 2%, to $262,000  from  $267,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996
and 1995,  respectively.  The weighted average  occupancy levels at the business
park  facilities  was 96% compared to 95% for the six months ended June 30, 1996
and 1995,  respectively.  The monthly average  realized rent per square foot for
the business park  facilities was $.59 compared to $.64 for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  Cost of operations (including management
fees) for the business parks  decreased  $7,000 or 6%, to $104,000 from $111,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Accordingly, for
the  Partnership's  business  park  facilities,  property net  operating  income
increased  by $2,000 or 1%, from  $156,000 to $158,000  for the six months ended
June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

     Depreciation and amortization  expense  increased $31,000 from $369,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1995 to $400,000 for the same period in 1996. This
increase is due to the depreciation of capital expenditures made during 1995 and
1996.


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
($958,000  for the six months ended June 30, 1996) has been  sufficient  to meet
all current obligations of the Partnership.

     During 1996, the Partnership anticipates  approximately $249,000 of capital
improvements.  Total capital  improvements were $92,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1996.

     The  Partnership  paid  distributions  to the limited and general  partners
totaling $713,000 ($13.52 per unit) and $88,000, respectively,  during the first
six months of 1996.  Future  distribution  rates may be adjusted to levels which
are supported by operating  cash flow after capital  improvements  and any other
necessary obligations.
