                                 March 31, 1998

1.   ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     ORGANIZATION

     PS Business Parks, Inc. ("PSB"), a California corporation, is the successor
     to American  Office Park  Properties,  Inc.  ("AOPP") which merged with and
     into Public  Storage  Properties XI, Inc. ("PSP 11") on March 17, 1998 (the
     "Merger"). The name of the company was changed to "PS Business Parks, Inc."
     in connection  with the Merger.  See Note 3 for a description of the Merger
     and its terms.

     Based upon the terms of the Merger, the transaction for financial reporting
     and  accounting  purposes has been  accounted for as a reverse  acquisition
     whereby  AOPP is  deemed  to have  acquired  PSP11.  However,  PSP11 is the
     continuing  legal entity and  registrant  for both  Securities and Exchange
     filing  purposes  and  income  tax  reporting   purposes.   All  subsequent
     references to PSB for periods prior to March 17, 1998 shall refer to AOPP.

     PSB was  organized in California  in 1986 as a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of
     Public Storage Management,  Inc. ("PSMI"),  a privately owned company of B.
     Wayne Hughes and his family (collectively "Hughes").

     On November 16, 1995,  Public  Storage,  Inc.  ("PSI")  acquired  PSMI in a
     business combination accounted for using the purchase method. In connection
     with  the  transaction,  PSI  exchanged  its  common  stock  for all of the
     non-voting  participating  preferred  stock  of  PSB,  representing  a  95%
     economic interest, and Hughes purchased all the voting common stock of PSB,
     representing  the remaining 5% economic  interest.  During  December  1996,
     Ronald L. Havner,  Jr. (then an executive  officer of PSI)  acquired all of
     Hughes' common stock in PSB.

     On January 2, 1997, in connection with the reorganization of the commercial
     property  operations  of  PSI  and  affiliated   entities,   PSB  formed  a
     partnership  (the "Operating  Partnership")  whereby PSB became the general
     partner.  Concurrent with the formation of the Operating  Partnership,  PSI
     and affiliated entities contributed  commercial properties to the Operating
     Partnership  in exchange for limited  partnership  units ("OP  Units").  In
     addition,  PSI  contributed  commercial  properties  to PSB in exchange for
     shares of non-voting  participating  preferred  stock,  and such properties
     were  immediately  contributed  by PSB along with its  commercial  property
     management operations and cash to the Operating Partnership for OP Units.

     Subject to certain limitations as described in Note 7, holders of OP Units,
     other than PSB,  have the right to require PSB to redeem  such  holders' OP
     Units at any time or from  time to time  beginning  on the date that is one
     year  after the date on which  such  limited  partner  is  admitted  to the
     Operating Partnership.

     On March 31, 1997,  PSI exchanged its  non-voting  participating  preferred
     stock into common shares of PSB. As a result of the  exchange,  PSI owned a
     majority of the voting common stock and  effectively  gained control of PSB
     at that time.

     DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     PSB  is a  fully-integrated,  self-managed  real  estate  investment  trust
     ("REIT") that acquires,  owns and operates commercial properties containing
     commercial and industrial  rental space. From 1986 through 1996, PSB's sole
     business  activity  consisted of the  management of  commercial  properties
     owned by PSI and affiliated entities.

     Commencing in 1997, PSB began to own and operate commercial  properties for
     its own  behalf.  At March  31,  1998,  PSB and the  Operating  Partnership


                                       7
<PAGE>


     collectively owned and operated 65 commercial properties (approximately 7.6
     million net rentable  square feet) located in 11 states.  In addition,  the
     Operating Partnership managed, on behalf of PSI and affiliated entities, 35
     commercial properties (approximately 1.0 million net rentable square feet).

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
     been prepared in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles
     for interim  financial  information and with  instructions to Form 10-Q and
     Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the
     information  and  footnotes  required  by  generally  accepted   accounting
     principles  for  complete  financial  statements.  The  preparation  of the
     condensed  consolidated  financial  statements in conformity with generally
     accepted  accounting  principles  requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed  consolidated
     financial  statements and accompanying  notes.  Actual results could differ
     from estimates.  In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting
     of normal recurring  accruals)  necessary for a fair presentation have been
     included.  Operating  results for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are
     not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
     ended December 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the consolidated
     financial  statements  and footnotes of PSB for the year ended December 31,
     1997 filed on Form 8-K/A  dated  April 17,  1998  (amending  Form 8-K dated
     March 17, 1998).

     The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PSB
     and the  Operating  Partnership.  PSB, as the sole general of the Operating
     Partnership, has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion
     in managing and controlling the Operating Partnership.

     On  March  31,  1997,  PSB  and  PSI  agreed  to  exchange  the  non-voting
     participating  preferred  stock held by PSI for 2,098,288  shares of voting
     common stock of PSB. After the exchange,  PSI owned in excess of 95% of the
     outstanding  common  voting  common stock of PSB and PSB  accounted for the
     transaction  as if PSI acquired  PSB in a  transaction  accounted  for as a
     purchase. Accordingly, PSB reflected PSI's cost of its investment in PSB in
     accordance with Accounting  Principles Board Opinion No. 16. As a result of
     PSI  attaining  control  of PSB,  the  carrying  value of PSB's  assets and
     liabilities  were  adjusted  to  reflect  PSI's  acquisition  cost  of  its
     controlling  interest in PSB of approximately $35 million. As a result, the
     carrying value of real estate facilities was increased  approximately  $8.0
     million, intangible assets increased approximately $4.4 million and paid in
     capital increased approximately $12.4 million.

     STOCK SPLIT AND STOCK DIVIDEND:

     On January  1, 1997,  the number of  outstanding  shares of  preferred  and
     common  stock  increased  as a result of a 10 for 1 stock  split.  In March
     1997, the preferred stock of PSB was converted into common stock on a share
     for share basis.  In December 1997, PSB declared a common stock dividend at
     a rate of .01583 shares for each common share outstanding.  Similarly,  the
     Operating  Partnership's  outstanding OP Units were adjusted to reflect the
     stock dividend.  No adjustment was made to the outstanding OP Units for the
     January 1997 stock  split,  as the issuance of OP Units during 1997 already
     reflected the stock split.

     On March 17, 1998, in connection with the merger,  PSB's common shares were
     converted  into  1.18  shares  of  PSP11.  Similarly,  holders  of OP Units
     received an additional  0.18 OP Units for each  outstanding OP Unit held at
     the time of the merger.

     References in the condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  and notes
     thereto with  respect to shares of preferred  stock,  common  stock,  stock
     options,  and OP Units and the related per share/per unit amounts have been
     retroactively  adjusted  to  reflect  the  January  1997 stock  split,  the
     December  1997 stock  dividend and the March 1998  conversion in connection
     with the Merger.

     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:

     PSB considers all highly liquid  investments  with an original  maturity of
     three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

     REAL ESTATE FACILITIES:

     Costs  related  to  the   improvements   of  properties  are   capitalized.
     Expenditures  for  repair and  maintenance  are  charged  to  expense  when
     incurred.  After March 31, 1997,  acquisition  of  facilities  from PSI and
     entities  controlled by PSI are recorded at the  predecessor's  basis until
     such time that PSB is not  controlled  by PSI.  Buildings and equipment are
     depreciated  on the straight line method over the  estimated  useful lives,
     which is generally 25 and 5 years, respectively.

     INTANGIBLE ASSETS:

     Intangible assets consist of property  management  contracts for properties
     managed,  but not owned, by PSB. The intangible  assets are being amortized
     over seven years. As properties  managed are subsequently  acquired by PSB,
     the  unamortized  basis of  intangible  assets  related to such property is
     included in the cost of acquisition  of such  property.  During April 1997,
     PSB  acquired  four  properties  from PSI and  included in the cost of real
     estate  facilities  for such  properties  is  $730,000  of cost  previously
     classified  as  intangible  assets.  In  connection  with the  Merger,  PSB
     acquired  13  properties  and  included in the cost of such  properties  is
     $1,315,000 (which is net of accumulated  amortization of $228,000) of costs
     previously classified as intangible assets.  Intangible assets at March 31,
     1998 are net of accumulated amortization of $314,000.

     EVALUATION OF ASSET IMPAIRMENT:

     In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
     of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 121,  "Accounting for the
     Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed
     Of" which requires  impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived  assets.
     PSB evaluates its assets used in operations,  by identifying  indicators of
     impairment  and by comparing the sum of the estimated  undiscounted  future
     cash flows for each asset to the asset's carrying  amount.  When indicators
     of impairment are present and the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows
     is less  than the  carrying  value of such  asset,  an  impairment  loss is
     recorded equal to the difference between the asset's current carrying value
     and its value based on discounting  its estimated  future cash flows.  SFAS
     No. 121 also  addresses  the  accounting  for  long-lived  assets  that are
     expected to be disposed  of. Such assets are to be reported at the lower of
     their  carrying  amount or fair value,  less cost to sell. PSB adopted SFAS
     No.  121  in  1996  and  the  adoption  had  no  effect.  PSB's  subsequent
     evaluations  have  indicated no  impairment  in the carrying  amount of its
     assets.

     NOTE PAYABLE TO AFFILIATE:

     Note  payable to  affiliate  at December  31, 1997 of  $3,500,000  reflects
     amounts borrowed from PSI on that date. The note bore interest at 6.97% and
     was repaid on January 31, 1998.


                                       9

     REVENUE AND EXPENSE RECOGNITION:

     All leases are classified as operating leases.  Rental income is recognized
     on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases.  Reimbursements from
     tenants for real estate taxes and other recoverable  operating expenses are
     recognized as revenue in the period the applicable costs are incurred.

     Costs incurred in connection with leasing  (primarily  tenant  improvements
     and leasing  commissions)  are  capitalized  and  amortized  over the lease
     period.

     Property management fees are recognized in the period earned.

     NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE:

     In 1997,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 128,  Earnings  per Share.  SFAS No. 128
     replaced the  calculation  of "primary"  and "fully  diluted"  earnings per
     share with "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share.

     "Diluted"  shares  include  the  dilutive  effect of stock  options,  while
     "basic" shares exclude such effect.  In addition,  weighted  average shares
     utilized in computing  basic and diluted  earnings  per share  includes the
     weighted average participating  preferred shares,  because such shares were
     allocated income (subject to certain preferences upon liquidation described
     below) on an equal per share basis with the common shares.

     INCOME TAXES:

     During  1997,  PSB  qualified  and intends to continue to qualify as a real
     estate investment trust ("REIT"), as defined in Section 856 of the Internal
     Revenue  Code.  As a REIT,  PSB is not taxed on that portion of its taxable
     income which is  distributed  to its  shareholders  provided that PSB meets
     certain  tests.  PSB believes it met these tests during 1997.  In addition,
     PSP11 (the legal entity for income tax reporting purposes subsequent to the
     March 17, 1998 merger)  believes it has also met the REIT tests during 1997
     and for the three months ended March 31,  1998.  Accordingly,  no provision
     for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE:

     General and administrative expense includes legal and office expense, state
     income taxes,  executive salaries,  cost of acquisition personnel and other
     such administrative  items. Such amounts include amounts incurred by PSI on
     behalf of PSB, which were  subsequently  charged to PSB in accordance  with
     the   allocation   methodology   pursuant  to  the  cost   allocation   and
     administrative services agreement between PSB and PSI.

     RECLASSIFICATIONS:

     Certain  reclassifications  have been made to the financial  statements for
     1997 in order to conform to the 1998 presentation.


                                       10

3.   BUSINESS COMBINATION

     On March 17, 1998,  AOPP merged into PSP11,  a publicly  traded real estate
     investment  trust and an affiliate of PSI. Upon  consummation of the Merger
     of AOPP into PSP11,  the  surviving  corporation  was renamed "PS  Business
     Parks, Inc." (PSB as defined in Note 1). In connection with the Merger:

               * Each  outstanding  share of PSP11 common  stock,  which did not
                 elect cash,  continued to be owned by current holders.  A total
                 of 106,155  PSP11  common  shares  elected  to receive  cash of
                 $20.50 per share.

               * Each  share of PSP11  common  stock  Series B and each share of
                 PSP11 common stock Series C converted into .8641 share of PSP11
                 common stock.

               * Each share of AOPP common stock  converted  into 1.18 shares of
                 PSP11 common stock.

               * Concurrent with the Merger,  PSP11 exchanged 11 mini-warehouses
                 and two properties that combine  mini-warehouse  and commercial
                 space for 11 commercial properties owned by PSI. The fair value
                 of the real estate  facilities owned by PSP11 was approximately
                 $48 million.

     The  Merger  has been  accounted  for as a reverse  merger  whereby  PSB is
     treated as the accounting acquirer using the purchase method. This has been
     determined  based  upon the  following:  (i) the  former  shareholders  and
     unitholders of PSB owned in excess of 80% of the merged  companies and (ii)
     the  business  focus  post-Merger  will  continue to be that of PSB's which
     includes  the   acquisition,   ownership   and   management  of  commercial
     properties.  Prior to the Merger, PSP11's business focus has been primarily
     on the  ownership  and  operation  of  its  self-storage  facilities  which
     represented approximately 81% of its portfolio.

     Allocations of the total  acquisition  cost to the net assets acquired were
     made based upon the fair value of PSP11's assets and  liabilities as of the
     date of the Merger.  The acquisition cost and the fair market values of the
     assets  acquired and  liabilities  assumed in the Merger are  summarized as
     follows:

                 Acquisition cost:
                 Issuance of common stock.........            $46,810,000

     The historical operating results of PSP11 prior to the Merger have not been
     included  in PSB's  historical  operating  results.  Pro forma data for the
     three  months  ended  March 31, 1998 and 1997 as though the Merger had been

     The pro forma data does not purport to be indicative  either of the results
     of  operations  that would have  occurred  had the Merger  occurred  at the
     beginning of fiscal 1997 or future results of PSB.

     On  January  13,  1998,  PSB  purchased  a  commercial   property  from  an
     unaffiliated  third  party for  approximately  $22,518,000,  consisting  of
     $22,325,000  cash (of which $500,000 was paid before December 31, 1997) and
     the issuance of 8,428 OP Units having a value of approximately $193,000.

     In March 1998, PSB purchased two commercial  properties  from  unaffiliated
     third parties for an aggregate cost of approximately $32,916,000,  composed
     of $17,377,000  cash (of which $300,000 was paid before December 31, 1997),
     the issuance of 44,250 OP units having a value of approximately $1,013,000,
     and the assumption of mortgage notes payable of $14,526,000.

                                                                    $14,526,000
                                                                    ===========

7.   MINORITY INTERESTS

     In  consolidation,  PSB  classifies  ownership  interests in the  Operating
     Partnership,  other than its own, as minority  interest on the consolidated
     financial statements.  Minority interest in income consists of the minority
     interests' share of the consolidated operating results.

     Subject to certain limitations  described below, each limited partner other
     than PSB has the right to require the redemption of such limited  partner's
     partnership  interests  at any time or from time to time  beginning  on the
     date  that is one year  after the date on which  such  limited  partner  is
     admitted to the Operating Partnership.

     Unless PSB, as general partner,  elects to assume and perform the Operating
     Partnership's  obligation with respect to a redemption  right, as described
     below, a limited  partner that exercises its redemption  right will receive
     cash from the Operating  Partnership in an amount equal to the market value
     (as defined in the  Operating  Partnership  Agreement)  of the  partnership
     interests  redeemed.  In lieu of the  Operating  Partnership  redeeming the
     partner  for  cash,  PSB,  as  general  partner,  has the right to elect to
     acquire the partnership interest directly from a limited partner exercising
     its redemption right, in exchange for cash in the amount specified above or
     by  issuance  of one share of PSB  common  stock  for each unit of  limited
     partnership interest redeemed.

     A limited  partner  cannot  exercise  its  redemption  right if delivery of
     shares  of PSB  common  stock  would be  prohibited  under  the  applicable
     articles of incorporation,  if the general partner believes that there is a
     risk  that  delivery  of shares of common  stock  would  cause the  general
     partner to no longer  qualify as a REIT,  would  cause a  violation  of the
     applicable securities laws, or would result in the Operating Partnership no
     longer being treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.



                                       13
<PAGE>


     At  March  31,  1998,  there  were  7,385,529  OP Units  owned by  minority
     interests  (7,305,352 were owned by PSI and affiliated  entities and 80,177
     were owned by  unaffiliated  third parties).  On a fully  converted  basis,
     assuming  all  7,385,529  minority  interest OP Units were  converted  into
     shares of common  stock of PSB at March 31, 1998,  the  minority  interests
     would own approximately  34.5% of the pro forma common shares  outstanding.
     At the end of each  reporting  period,  PSB determines the amount of equity
     (book value of net assets)  which is  allocable  to the  minority  interest
     based upon this pro forma  ownership  interest and an adjustment is made to
     the minority interest,  with a corresponding  adjustment to Additional paid
     in capital, to reflect the minority interests' equity.

8.   PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

     The Operating Partnership manages industrial,  office and retail facilities
     for PSI and entities  affiliated  with PSI, and third party  owners.  These
     facilities,  all located in the United  States,  operate  under the "Public
     Storage" or "PS Business Parks" name.

     The property management  contracts provide for compensation of five percent
     of the gross revenue of the facilities  managed.  Under the  supervision of
     the property owners, the Operating Partnership coordinates rental policies,
     rent  collections,  marketing  activities,  the purchase of  equipment  and
     supplies,  maintenance  activities,  and the  selection  and  engagement of
     vendors, suppliers and independent contractors.  In addition, the Operating
     Partnership  assists  and  advises  the  property  owners  in  establishing
     policies for the hire,  discharge  and  supervision  of  employees  for the
     operation  of  these  facilities,  including  property  managers,  leasing,
     billing and maintenance personnel.

     The property management contract with PSI is for a seven year term with the
     term being  extended one year each  anniversary.  The  property  management
     contracts with  affiliates of PSI are cancelable by either party upon sixty
     days notice.

9.   SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

     In addition  to common and  preferred  stock,  PSB is  authorized  to issue
     100,000,000  shares of Equity Stock. The Articles of Incorporation  provide
     that the Equity Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series
     and gives the Board of  Directors  broad  authority to fix the dividend and
     distribution rights,  conversion and voting rights,  redemption  provisions
     and liquidation rights of each series of Equity Stock.

     On January 7, 1998, a holder of OP Units exercised its option and converted
     its  1,785,008 OP Units into an equal number of shares of PSB common stock.
     The  conversion  resulted  in an  increase  in  shareholders'  equity and a
     corresponding  decrease in minority interest of approximately  $33,023,000,
     representing the book value of the OP Units at the time of conversion.

     In  January  1998,   PSB  entered  into  an  agreement   with  a  group  of
     institutional  investors  under  which PSB agreed to issue up to  6,744,074
     shares of PSB common stock at $22.88 per share in cash (an  aggregate of up
     to  $155,000,000)  in separate  tranches.  The first tranche,  representing
     2,185,189 shares or $50.0 million,  was issued in January 1998. The Company
     incurred $2,400,000 in costs associated with the issuance. The remainder of
     the common shares  (4,558,885 common shares) were issued on May 6, 1998 and
     the net proceeds  ($105.0  million) were used to fund a portion of the cost
     to acquire commercial properties in May 1998.

     On March 31,  1998,  PSB paid  distributions  to its  common  shareholders'
     totaling $4,079,000, or $0.347 per common share.

10.  LINE OF CREDIT WITH PSI

     PSB has entered into a line of credit  agreement with PSI for borrowings up
     to $50,000,000 with an interest rate of the London  Interbank  Offered Rate
     ("LIBOR") plus 1.25%.  The credit  agreement  expires on December 31, 1998.
     There were no amounts  outstanding  as of March 31, 1998. In addition,  PSI
     has provided PSB with additional  funds,  at the same interest rate,  which
     PSB required to acquire the property  portfolio on May 4, 1998.  At May 14,
     1998,  there was  approximately  $74.0 million  outstanding on the lines of
     credit as a result of borrowings to fund a portion of the acquisition  cost
     of properties acquired in May 1998.

11.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     PROPERTY ACQUISITION

     On May 4, 1998,  the Company  purchased 14  properties  (approximately  1.0
     million  rentable  square  feet)  located  in  Beaverton,   Oregon  and  14
     properties  (approximately 1.3 million rentable square feet) located in the
     Dallas, Texas area. The properties were acquired from Principal Mutual Life
     Insurance Company, an insurance company, and its affiliated companies.  The
     aggregate  purchase  price was  approximately  $190.5  million in cash. The
     acquisition  contains  approximately  2,265,000  rentable  square  feet and
     contains  approximately 15 acres of land in the Beaverton market for future
     development.  In addition, the Company contracted to purchase an additional
     property  containing  56,000  square feet in Texas for  approximately  $5.7
     million. The property is currently under construction and pre-leased.

ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

BUSINESS:

GENERAL.  The Company is a  self-managed,  self-advised  real estate  investment
trust that acquires, owns and operates commercial properties. The Company is the
sole general  partner of PS Business Parks,  L.P. (the "Operating  Partnership")
through which the Company  conducts most of its activities and owned,  as of May
6, 1998, an  approximate  66%  partnership  interest.  Substantially  all of the
remaining  partnership interest is owned by Public Storage, Inc. ("PSI") and its
affiliates.

In a March 1998 merger (the "Merger") with American Office Park Properties, Inc.
("AOPP"),  the Company  acquired the  commercial  property  business  previously
operated by AOPP and was renamed "PS Business Parks,  Inc."  Concurrent with the
Merger, the Company exchanged 11  mini-warehouses  and 2 properties that combine
mini-warehouse  and commercial space for 11 commercial  properties owned by PSI.
In May 1998,  the Company  acquired  from The  Principal  Mutual Life  Insurance
Company and certain of its affiliates,  a portfolio  consisting of 28 commercial
properties  (approximately 2,265,000 net rentable square feet) located in Oregon
and Texas.

As of May 6, 1998, the Company and the Operating Partnership owned 93 commercial
properties  in 11 states  containing  approximately  9.9 million  square feet of
space.  The  Operating   Partnership  also  manages  35  commercial   properties
(approximately  1.0 million  square feet of space) in which it has no  ownership
interest.

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended,  commencing  with its taxable year ended December 31, 1997. To
the extent  that the  Company  continues  to  qualify as a REIT,  it will not be
taxed,  with certain limited  exceptions,  on the net income that is distributed
currently to its shareholders.

The  commercial  properties  owned by the Company and the Operating  Partnership
generally include both business park  (industrial/flex  space) and office space.
The industrial space is used for, among other things,  light  manufacturing  and
assembly,  storage and  warehousing,  distribution  and research and development
activities. Most of the office space is occupied by tenants who are also renting
industrial  space.  The commercial  properties  typically  consist of one to ten
one-story  buildings located on three to 20 acres and contain from approximately
10,000 to 500,000 square feet of rentable space (more than 50,000 square feet in
the case of the free-standing  properties). A property is typically divided into
units ranging in size from 500 to 10,000  square feet.  Leases  generally  range
from one to five years and some  tenants  have  options  to extend the  original
terms of their leases. The larger facilities have on-site management. Parking is
open or  covered,  and the ratio of spaces to  rentable  square feet ranges from
three to four per thousand  square feet,  depending upon the use of the property
and its location.  Office space generally  requires a greater parking ratio than
most industrial uses. The Company may acquire  properties that do not have these
characteristics.

The  Company  intends to  continue  to  acquire  commercial  properties  located
throughout  the United  States.  The  Company's  policy of acquiring  commercial
properties  may be  changed  by  its  Board  of  Directors  without  shareholder
approval.  However,  the Board of  Directors  has no  intention  to change  this
policy.  Although the Company currently operates properties in 11 states, it may
expand its  operations to other states.  Properties are acquired both for income
and potential  capital  appreciation;  there is no limitation on the amount that
can be invested in any specific  property.  Although  there is no  limitation on
mortgage debt, the Company has no current  intention to incur  significant  debt
(other than short-term borrowings from time to time (including from PSI) to fund
acquisitions).  The  Company may  acquire  land on which it develops  commercial
properties,   particularly  land  which  is  adjacent  to  existing   commercial
properties  which the  Company  acquires.  However,  the  Company has no current
intention to engage in a significant amount of development.

OPERATING  PARTNERSHIP.  The  properties  in which  the  Company  has an  equity
interest  generally will be owned by the Operating  Partnership.  This structure
enables  the  Company  to  acquire   interests  in   additional   properties  in
transactions that could defer the contributors' tax consequences. This structure
also enabled PSI and its  consolidated  partnerships to contribute  interests in
their  properties and to defer until a later date the tax liabilities  that they
otherwise would have incurred if they had received Common Stock.

As the  general  partner  of the  Operating  Partnership,  the  Company  has the
exclusive power under the Operating  Partnership Agreement to manage and conduct
the business of the Operating  Partnership.  The Board of Directors  will direct
the affairs of the Operating  Partnership by managing the Company's affairs. The
Operating  Partnership  will be responsible  for, and pay when due, its share of
all administrative and operating expenses of the properties it owns.

The Company's interest in the Operating Partnership entitles it to share in cash
distributions from, and in the profits and losses of, the Operating  Partnership
in proportion to the Company's  economic  interest in the Operating  Partnership
(apart  from  tax  allocations  of  profits  and  losses  to take  into  account
pre-contribution  property  appreciation or depreciation).  Substantially all of
the  economic  interest in the  Operating  Partnership  which is not held by the
Company is held by PSI and its consolidated partnerships as limited partners.

SUMMARY OF THE OPERATING  PARTNERSHIP  AGREEMENT.  The following  summary of the
Operating Partnership Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Operating  Partnership  Agreement,  which has been filed as an exhibit  with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

ISSUANCE OF  ADDITIONAL  PARTNERSHIP  INTERESTS.  As the general  partner of the
Operating  Partnership,  the  Company  is  authorized  to  cause  the  Operating
Partnership from time to time to issue to partners of the Operating  Partnership
or to other persons additional  partnership units in one or more classes, and in
one or more series of any of such classes,  with such designations,  preferences
and  relative,  participating,  optional,  or other special  rights,  powers and
duties  (which  may be senior to the  existing  partnership  units),  as will be
determined  by the  Company,  in its  sole  and  absolute  discretion.  No  such
additional  partnership units, however, will be issued to the Company unless (i)
the agreement to issue the additional partnership interests arises in connection
with the  issuance of shares of the  Company,  which  shares have  designations,
preferences and other rights, such that the economic interests are substantially
similar to the  designations,  preferences  and other  rights of the  additional
partnership  units  that  would be issued to the  Company  and (ii) the  Company
agrees to make a capital contribution to the Operating  Partnership in an amount
equal to the proceeds  raised in connection  with the issuance of such shares of
the Company.

CAPITAL  CONTRIBUTIONS.  No  partner  is  required  to make  additional  capital
contributions  to the Operating  Partnership,  except the Company as the general
partner  is  required  to  contribute  the net  proceeds  of the sale of  equity
interests in the Company to the Operating Partnership.  A limited partner may be
required to pay to the  Operating  Partnership  any taxes paid by the  Operating
Partnership on behalf of that limited partner.  No partner is required to pay to
the Operating Partnership any deficit or negative balance which may exist in its
capital account.

DISTRIBUTIONS.  The Company,  as general  partner,  is required to distribute at
least  quarterly the "available  cash" (as defined in the Operating  Partnership
Agreement)   generated  by  the   Operating   Partnership   for  such   quarter.
Distributions are to be made (i) first, with respect to any class of partnership
interests having a preference over other classes of partnership  interests;  and
(ii) second, in accordance with the partners' respective percentage interests on
the  "partnership  record  date"  (as  defined  in  the  Operating   Partnership
Agreement).  Commencing in 1998, the Operating  Partnership's  policy is to make
distributions per unit that are equal to the per share distributions made by the
Company with respect to its Common  Stock,  and in any case the per unit and per
share distributions will be equal during partnership years 1998, 1999 and 2000.

REDEMPTION OF PARTNERSHIP  INTERESTS.  Subject to certain limitations  described
below,  each limited partner other than the Company has the right to require the
redemption  of such limited  partner's  unit.  This right may be exercised on at

                                       17
<PAGE>
least 10 days  notice  at any time or from time to time,  beginning  on the date
that is one year after the date on which such limited partner is admitted to the
Operating  Partnership  (unless  otherwise  contractually  agreed by the general
partner).

Unless  the  Company,  as general  partner,  elects to assume  and  perform  the
Operating  Partnership's  obligation  with  respect to a  redemption  right,  as
described  below, a limited  partner that  exercises its  redemption  right will
receive  cash  from  the  Operating  Partnership  in  an  amount  equal  to  the
"redemption amount" (as defined in the Operating Partnership Agreement generally
to reflect the average  trading  price of the Common Stock of the Company over a
specified  ten day  period)  for the units  redeemed.  In lieu of the  Operating
Partnership redeeming the partner for cash, the Company, as the general partner,
has the right to elect to  acquire  the units  directly  from a limited  partner
exercising its redemption  right,  in exchange for cash in the amount  specified
above as the  "redemption  amount" or by  issuance  of the  "shares  amount" (as
defined in the Operating Partnership Agreement generally to mean the issuance of
one share of the  Company  Common  Stock for each  unit of  limited  partnership
interest redeemed).

A limited partner cannot exercise its redemption  right if delivery of shares of
Common Stock would be prohibited under the applicable  articles of incorporation
or if the general partner  believes that there is a risk that delivery of shares
of Common Stock would cause the general  partner to no longer qualify as a REIT,
would cause a violation of the applicable  securities or certain antitrust laws,
or would  result in the  Operating  Partnership  no longer  being  treated  as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes.

MANAGEMENT.  The  Operating  Partnership  is organized  as a California  limited
partnership.  The  Company,  as  the  sole  general  partner  of  the  Operating
Partnership has full,  exclusive and complete  responsibility  and discretion in
managing and  controlling the Operating  Partnership,  except as provided in the
Operating  Partnership  Agreement and by applicable law. The limited partners of
the  Operating  Partnership  have no  authority  to  transact  business  for, or
participate  in  the  management  activities  or  decisions  of,  the  Operating
Partnership  except as provided in the  Operating  Partnership  Agreement and as
permitted  by  applicable  law.  However,  the consent of the  limited  partners
holding a majority of the interests of the limited partners  (including  limited
partnership  interests held by the Company)  generally will be required to amend
the  Operating  Partnership   Agreement.   Further,  the  Operating  Partnership
Agreement  cannot be  amended  without  the  consent of each  partner  adversely
affected if, among other things,  the amendment would alter the partner's rights
to  distributions  from  the  Operating   Partnership  (except  as  specifically
permitted in the Operating Partnership  Agreement),  alter the redemption right,
or impose on the limited  partners an  obligations  to make  additional  capital
contributions.  The consent of all limited partners will be required to (i) take
any action that would make it  impossible  to carry on the ordinary  business of
the  Operating  Partnership,  except  as  otherwise  provided  in the  Operating
Partnership Agreement; or (ii) possess Operating Partnership property, or assign
any  rights in  specific  Operating  Partnership  property,  for  other  than an
Operating  Partnership  purpose  except as otherwise  provided in the  Operating
Partnership  Agreement.  In  addition,  without  the  consent  of any  adversely
affected limited partner, the general partner may not perform any act that would
subject a limited partner to liability as a general partner in any  jurisdiction
or any other liability except as provided in the Operating Partnership Agreement
or under California law.

EXTRAORDINARY  TRANSACTIONS.  The Operating  Partnership Agreement provides that
the  Company  may not engage in any  business  combination,  defined to mean any
merger,  consolidation or other  combination with or into another person or sale
of  all  or  substantially  all  of  its  assets,  any   reclassification,   any
recapitalization  (other than certain stock splits or stock dividends) or change
of outstanding  shares of common stock,  unless (i) the limited  partners of the
Operating Partnership will receive, or have the opportunity to receive, the same
proportionate  consideration  per unit in the transaction as shareholders of the
Company (without regard to tax considerations);  or (ii) limited partners of the
Operating  Partnership  (other than the general partner) holding at least 60% of
the interests in the Operating  Partnership held by limited partners (other than
the general partner) vote to approve the business combination.  In addition, the
Company,  as general  partner of the  Operating  Partnership,  has agreed in the
Operating  Partnership  Agreement  with the limited  partners  of the  Operating
Partnership  that it will not  consummate  a business  combination  in which the
Company conducted a vote of shareholders  unless the matter is also submitted to
a vote of the  partners.  The foregoing  provision of the Operating  Partnership


                                       18
<PAGE>


Agreement would under no  circumstances  enable or require the Company to engage
in a business  combination  which required the approval of  shareholders  if the
shareholders of the Company did not in fact give the requisite approval. Rather,
if the  shareholders did approve a business  combination,  the Company would not
consummate the transaction  unless the Company as general partner first conducts
a vote of partners of the Operating  Partnership on the matter.  For purposes of
the  Operating  Partnership  vote,  the  Company  shall  be  deemed  to vote its
partnership  interest in the same proportion as the  shareholders of the Company
voted on the matter  (disregarding  shareholders who do not vote). The Operating
Partnership  vote will be deemed approved if the votes recorded are such that if
the Operating  Partnership  vote had been a vote of  shareholders,  the business
combination would have been approved by the  shareholders.  As a result of these
provisions of the  Operating  Partnership,  a third party may be inhibited  from
making an  acquisition  proposal that it would  otherwise  make, or the Company,
despite having the requisite authority under its articles of incorporation,  may
not be authorized to engage in a proposed business combination.

TAX PROTECTION  PROVISIONS.  The Operating  Partnership Agreement provides that,
until  2007,  the  Operating  Partnership  may  not  sell  any of 13  designated
properties in a transaction  that will produce taxable gain for the contributing
partner without the prior written  consent of PSI. The Operating  Partnership is
not required to obtain PSI's consent if PSI and its affiliated  partnerships  do
not  continue  to hold at the time of the sale at  least  30% of their  original
interest in the Operating  Partnership.  Since PSI's consent is required only in
connection  with a  taxable  sale of one of the 13  designated  properties,  the
Operating Partnership will not be required to obtain PSI's consent in connection
with a "like-kind"  exchange or other  nontaxable  transaction  involving one of
these properties.

INDEMNIFICATION.  The Operating  Partnership Agreement provides that the Company
and its officers and  directors  will be  indemnified  and held  harmless by the
Operating  Partnership for any act performed for, or on behalf of, the Operating
Partnership, or in furtherance of the Operating Partnership's business unless it
is  established  that (i) the act or  omission  of the  indemnified  person  was
material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and either was committed in
bad faith or was the  result  of  active  and  deliberate  dishonesty;  (ii) the
indemnified  person  actually  received an improper  personal  benefit in money,
property  or  services;  or (iii) in the case of any  criminal  proceeding,  the
indemnified  person had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was
unlawful.  The  termination of any  proceeding by judgment,  order or settlement
does not  create a  presumption  that the  indemnified  person  did not meet the
requisite standard of conduct set forth above. The termination of any proceeding
by conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its  equivalent,  or an entry
of an order of  probation  prior to judgment,  creates a rebuttable  presumption
that the indemnified  person did not meet the requisite  standard of conduct set
forth above. Any indemnification so made shall be made only out of the assets of
the Operating Partnership.

DUTIES AND CONFLICTS.  The Operating Partnership Agreement allows the Company to
operate the  Operating  Partnership  in a manner that will enable the Company to
satisfy the  requirements for being classified as a REIT. The Company intends to
conduct all of its business activities,  including all activities  pertaining to
the acquisition,  management and operation of properties,  through the Operating
Partnership.  However,  the Company may own,  directly or through  subsidiaries,
interest  in  Operating  Partnership  properties  that do not  exceed  1% of the
economic  interest of any property,  and if appropriate for regulatory,  tax, or
other  purposes,  the Company  also may own,  directly or through  subsidiaries,
interests in assets that the Operating  partnership  otherwise could acquire, if
the Company grants to the Operating Partnership the option to acquire the assets
within a  period  not to  exceed  three  years in  exchange  for the  number  of
partnership units that would be issued if the Operating Partnership had acquired
the assets at the time of acquisition by the Company.

TERM.  The  Operating  Partnership  will continue in full force and effect until
December 31, 2096 or until sooner  dissolved  upon the withdrawal of the general
partner   (unless  the  limited   partners   elect  to  continue  the  Operating
Partnership), or by the election of the general partner (with the consent of the
holders of a majority of the partnerships  interests if such vote is held before
January 1, 2056), in connection with a merger,  by the sale or other disposition
of all or substantially  all of the assets of the Operating  Partnership,  or by
judicial decree.

COST  ALLOCATION  AND  ADMINISTRATIVE  SERVICES.  Pursuant to a cost sharing and
administrative  services  agreement,  PSCC,  Inc.  has been formed to serve as a
cooperative  cost  allocation and  administrative  services  clearing house that
performs  centralized  administrative  services for the  Company,  PSI and other
property  owners  affiliated  with PSI.  These services  include  accounting and


                                       19

finance,  employee  relations,  management  information  systems,  legal, office
services,  marketing,   administration  and  property  management  training.  In
addition,  to take advantage of economies of scale, PSCC purchases many supplies
and services for the benefit of multiple property owners and allocates the costs
of these supplies and services to the benefited  property owners and employs and
administers  the  payroll  for  employees  required  for  the  operation  of the
properties and the ownership entities.  As to the Company, this agreement is not
terminable  for five years.  The  Company has no  intention  to  terminate  this
agreement.  The capital  stock of PSCC is owned by the Company,  PSI and certain
other property owners. Since the Company owns less than 10% of the capital stock
of PSCC,  the Company does not control the  operations  and  activities of PSCC.
Under this  agreement,  PSCC allocates costs to the Company in accordance with a
methodology  that is intended to fairly  allocate  charges  among  participating
entities.

COMMON  OFFICERS  AND  DIRECTORS.  Harvey  Lenkin,  the  president  of PSI, is a
director of both the Company and PSI.  Ronald L.  Havner,  Jr., the chairman and
chief  executive  officer of the Company,  was a senior vice president and chief
financial  officer of PSI until  December  1996 and is  currently an employee of
PSI.  Mary Jayne  Howard,  the executive  vice  president of the Company,  was a
senior vice president of PSI until December 1996.  John Reyes,  Obren B. Gerich,
David  Goldberg,  Sarah Hass, A. Timothy Scott and David P. Singelyn,  executive
officers of PSI,  are vice  presidents  of the Company.  The Company  intends to
engage additional  executive personnel who will render services  exclusively for
the  Company.  However,  it is expected  that  officers of PSI will  continue to
render services for the Company as requested.

MANAGEMENT  AGREEMENT.  The Company  continues to manage  commercial  properties
owned by PSI and affiliates,  which are generally  adjacent to  mini-warehouses,
for a fee of 5% of the gross revenues of such properties.

(1)      Property is subject to a ground lease.
(2)      Property acquired May 1998.

As of May 6, each of these properties is generating sufficient revenues to cover
its current  operating  expenses.  Only two of the properties are subject to any
material  mortgage,  lien,  or any  encumbrance  other  than liens for taxes and
assessments not due or payable,  utility  easements or other immaterial liens or
encumbrances.  The two  properties  are encumbered by mortgages in the aggregate

amount of approximately $14,500,000 bearing interest at rates ranging from 71/8%
to 81/8% per year and  maturing  between 2005 and 2006.  The  carrying  value of
these two properties is approximately $32.9 million at March 31, 1998

Each of these  properties  will continue to be used for its current purpose and,
in the Company's  opinion,  are  adequately  covered by  insurance.  Competition
exists in the market areas in which these  properties  are located,  barriers to
entry are  relatively  low for  competitors  with the necessary  capital and the
Company will be competing  for  properties  and tenants with  entities that have
greater financial resources than the Company. However, the Company believes that
the current overall demand for commercial space is strong.

As of May 6, 1998, none of these properties has a book value of more than 10% of
the Company's  current total assets or accounts for more than 10% of its current
aggregate gross revenues. As of May 6, 1998, 85 (6 of which render services part
time) persons rendered services on behalf of the Company.

For the properties that the Company owned as of May 6, 1998,  approximately 28%,
20% and 19% of the  leases in place as of  January  1, 1998  expire in the years
1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively.

In order to evaluate  the ongoing  performance  of its  properties,  the Company
analyzes  the  operating   performance  of  a  consistent  group  of  properties
representing 51 properties in which the Company currently has an equity interest
(the  "Same  Park"  facilities)  and which have been  managed  by the  Operating
Partnership or its predecessor for at least the past three years.  The following
table reflects information on the "Same Park" facilities:
