1.   Organization and description of business

     PS Business Parks, Inc. ("PSB") was incorporated in the state of California
     in 1990. As of September 30, 2000, PSB owned an approximate 74% general and
     limited  partnership  interest in PS Business  Parks,  L.P. (the "Operating
     Partnership"  or "OP").  PSB, as the sole general  partner of the Operating
     Partnership, has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion
     in  managing  and  controlling  the  Operating  Partnership.  PSB  and  the
     Operating Partnership are collectively referred to as the "Company."

     The  Company is a  fully-integrated,  self-advised  and  self-managed  real
     estate investment trust ("REIT") that acquires, develops, owns and operates
     commercial properties containing commercial and industrial rental space. As
     of September  30,  2000,  the Company  owned and  operated  123  commercial
     properties (approximately 12.1 million net rentable square feet) located in
     9 states.  In addition,  the Company managed,  on behalf of Public Storage,
     Inc.   ("PSI")  and   affiliated   entities,   39   commercial   properties
     (approximately 1.3 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 accounting  principles  generally accepted
     in  the  United  States  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
     accounting  principles generally accepted in the United States for complete
     financial  statements.   The  preparation  of  the  condensed  consolidated
     financial  statements in conformity  with accounting  principles  generally
     accepted in the United States  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 and nine months ended September
     30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
     for the year ended December 31, 2000. For further information, refer to the
     consolidated  financial  statements and footnotes  thereto  included in the
     Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

     The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PSB
     and the Operating  Partnership.  All significant  intercompany balances and
     transactions have been eliminated in the condensed  consolidated  financial
     statements.

     Cash and cash equivalents

     The  Company  considers  all highly  liquid  investments  with an  original
     maturity  of  three  months  or less at the  date  of  purchase  to be cash
     equivalents.  The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates
     fair value.

     Marketable securities

     The Company owns  approximately  one million  common shares of Pacific Gulf
     Properties  Inc. The  investment is classified as  "available-for-sale"  in
     accordance with Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No.
     115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.  The
     investment  is reflected  on the balance  sheet at fair market  value.  The
     unrealized  gain of  $6,480,000 is excluded from earnings and reported in a
     separate component of shareholders'  equity.  Dividend income is recognized
     when earned.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 2000



     Real estate facilities

     Real  estate  facilities  are  recorded  at  cost.  Costs  related  to  the
     renovation or improvement of the properties are  capitalized.  Expenditures
     for  repair  and  maintenance  are  expensed  as  incurred.  Buildings  and
     equipment are  depreciated on the  straight-line  method over the estimated
     useful lives, which are generally 30 and 5 years, respectively.

     Interest cost and property taxes incurred during the period of construction
     of real estate facilities are capitalized. The Company capitalized $996,000
     and $584,000 of interest expense during the nine months ended September 30,
     2000 and 1999, respectively.

     Intangible assets

     Intangible assets consist of property  management  contracts for properties
     managed,  but not owned,  by the Company.  The intangible  assets are being
     amortized  over  seven  years.  Intangible  assets  are net of  accumulated
     amortization  of $1,100,000 and $874,000 at September 30, 2000 and December
     31, 1999, respectively.

     Evaluation of asset impairment

     The  Company  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.  At September 30, 2000, no such indicators of
     impairment have been identified.

     Borrowings from and loans to affiliate

     The  Company  borrowed  an  aggregate  of $41.4  million  from PSI and paid
     $371,000 in interest  expense during the period of January 19, 1999 through
     April 30, 1999. The notes bore interest at 5.5% (per annum) and were repaid
     as of April 30, 1999.

     The Company loaned an aggregate of $77 million to PSI and received $153,000
     in interest  income  during the period of January 5, 2000 through March 20,
     2000.  The notes bore  interest  at 5.9% (per  annum) and were repaid as of
     March 20, 2000.

     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.

     General and administrative expense

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

     Acquistion costs

     Internal acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

     Income taxes

     During 1997, the Company  qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a
     REIT,  as defined in Section 856 of the Internal  Revenue  Code. As a REIT,
     the  Company is not  subject to  federal  income tax to the extent  that it
     distributes its taxable income to its shareholders.  A REIT must distribute
     at least 95% of its  taxable  income  each  year.  In  addition,  REITs are
     subject to a number of organizational  and operating  requirements.  If the
     Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be
     subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum
     tax) based on its taxable income using corporate income tax rates.  Even if
     the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to
     certain  state and local  taxes on its income and  property  and to federal
     income and excise taxes on its  undistributed  taxable income.  The Company
     believes it met all organization and operating requirements to maintain its
     REIT status  during 1999 and intends to continue to meet such  requirements
     for 2000.  Accordingly,  no provision for income taxes has been made in the
     accompanying financial statements.

     Net income per common share

     Per share  amounts are computed  using the weighted  average  common shares
     outstanding.  "Diluted" weighted average common shares outstanding  include
     the  dilutive  effect of stock  options  under the treasury  stock  method.
     "Basic"  weighted average common shares  outstanding  excludes such effect.
     Earnings per share has been calculated as follows:

     $14,277,000  and  $12,369,000  for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
     and 1999,  respectively.  These  amounts are included as rental  income and
     cost of operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of
     income.


5.   Revolving line of credit

     In September  2000, the Company  extended its unsecured line of credit (the
     "Credit  Facility")  with  Wells  Fargo  Bank.  The Credit  Facility  has a
     borrowing  limit of $100 million and an expiration  date of August 6, 2003.
     The expiration date may be extended by one year on each  anniversary of the
     Credit Facility.  Interest on outstanding borrowings is payable monthly. At
     the option of the Company, the rate of interest charged is equal to (i) the
     prime rate or (ii) a rate  ranging from the London  Interbank  Offered Rate
     ("LIBOR") plus 0.75% to 1.35% depending on the Company's credit ratings and
     coverage ratios, as defined (currently LIBOR plus 1.00%). In addition,  the
     Company is required to pay an annual  commitment fee of 0.25%.  The Company
     had no outstanding balance and $100 million available on its line of credit
     at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999.

                               SEPTEMBER 30, 2000

     The  Credit  Facility  requires  the  Company  to  meet  certain  covenants
     including (i) maintain a balance sheet  leverage ratio (as defined) of less
     than 0.50 to 1.00, (ii) maintain  interest and fixed charge coverage ratios
     (as  defined)  of not less than 2.25 to 1.0 and 1.75 to 1.0,  respectively,
     (iii) maintain a minimum total  shareholders'  equity (as defined) and (iv)
     limit  distributions  to 95% of funds from  operations.  In  addition,  the
     Company is  limited in its  ability  to incur  additional  borrowings  (the
     Company is required to maintain  unencumbered assets with an aggregate book
     value equal to or greater than two times the Company's  unsecured  recourse
     debt) or sell assets.  The Company was in compliance  with the covenants of
     the Credit Facility at September 30, 2000.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

7.   Minority interests

     Common units

     The Company presents the accounts of PSB and the Operating Partnership on a
     consolidated basis. Ownership interests in the Operating Partnership, other
     than PSB's interest,  are classified as minority  interest in the condensed
     consolidated financial statements.  Minority interest in income consists of
     the  minority  interests'  share of the  condensed  consolidated  operating
     results.

     Beginning  one year from the date of  admission  as a limited  partner  and
     subject to certain limitations  described below, each limited partner other
     than  PSB has the  right  to  require  the  redemption  of its  partnership
     interest.

     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.

     At  September  30,  2000,  there were  7,335,839 OP units owned by minority
     interests  (7,305,355 were owned by PSI and affiliated  entities and 30,484
     were owned by  unaffiliated  third parties).  On a fully  converted  basis,
     assuming  all  7,335,839  minority  interest OP units were  converted  into
     shares of common stock of PSB at September 30, 2000, the minority interests
     would own approximately 24% of the 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 the
     ownership interest and an adjustment is made to the minority interest, with
     a  corresponding  adjustment  to paid-in  capital,  to reflect the minority
     interests' equity in the Company.

     Preferred units

     On April 23, 1999, the Operating  Partnership completed a private placement
     of 510,000  preferred units with a preferred  distribution  rate of 8 7/8%.
     The net proceeds from the placement of preferred  units were  approximately
     $12.5 million and were used to repay borrowings from an affiliate.

     On  September  3,  1999,  the  Operating  Partnership  completed  a private
     placement of 3,200,000  preferred units with a preferred  distribution rate
     of 8 3/4%.  The net proceeds  from the  placement  of preferred  units were
     approximately  $78  million and part of the  proceeds  was used to prepay a
     mortgage note payable of approximately $8.5 million.

     On September 7 and 23, 1999, the Operating  Partnership  completed  private
     placements of 1,200,000 and 400,000 preferred units,  respectively,  with a
     preferred  distribution rate of 8 7/8%. The net proceeds from the placement
     of preferred units were approximately $39.2 million.

     On July 12, 2000 the Operating Partnership completed a private placement of
     480,000  preferred units with a preferred  distribution rate of 8 7/8%. The
     net proceeds from the placement of preferred units were approximately $11.7
     million.

                               SEPTEMBER 30, 2000


     The Operating Partnership has the right to redeem the preferred units on or
     after the fifth  anniversary  of the issuance date at the original  capital
     contribution  plus the  cumulative  priority  return,  as  defined,  to the
     redemption  date to the extent not  previously  distributed.  The preferred
     units are  exchangeable  for Cumulative  Redeemable  Preferred Stock of the
     respective  series  of PS  Business  Parks,  Inc.  on or  after  the  tenth
     anniversary  of the  date  of  issuance  at  the  option  of the  Operating
     Partnership  or  majority  of the  holders  of  the  preferred  units.  The
     Preferred Stock will have the same  distribution  rate and par value as the
     respective  units and will have equivalent terms to those described in Note
     9.

8.   Property management contracts

     The Operating Partnership manages industrial,  office and retail facilities
     for PSI and entities affiliated with PSI. 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

     Preferred stock

     On April 30, 1999,  the Company  issued  2,200,000  depositary  shares each
     representing  1/1,000  of a share  of 9 1/4%  Cumulative  Preferred  Stock,
     Series A. Net proceeds from the public  perpetual  preferred stock offering
     were approximately  $53.1 million and were used to repay borrowings from an
     affiliate and a mortgage  note payable of  approximately  $11 million.  The
     remaining proceeds were used for investment in real estate.

     Holders of the  Company's  preferred  stock will not be entitled to vote on
     most matters, except under certain conditions. In the event of a cumulative
     arrearage  equal to six quarterly  dividends,  the holders of the preferred
     stock will have the right to elect two  additional  members to serve on the
     Company's  Board of Directors  until all events of default have been cured.
     At September 30, 2000, there were no dividends in arrears.

     Except under certain conditions relating to the Company's  qualification as
     a REIT, the preferred  stock is not redeemable  prior to April 30, 2004. On
     or after April 30, 2004,  the preferred  stock will be  redeemable,  at the
     option of the Company,  in whole or in part, at $25 per  depositary  share,
     plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.

     The Company paid $3,816,000 ($1.734375 per depositary share) and $2,134,000
     ($0.969965  per  depositary   share)  in  distributions  to  its  preferred
     shareholders  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000  and  1999,
     respectively.

     Common stock

     On March 2, 2000, the Board of Directors  authorized  the  repurchase  from
     time to time of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock on the
     open market or in privately negotiated transactions.  On July 27, 2000, the

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 2000


     Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional 600,000
     shares of the Company's common stock (for a total repurchase  authorization
     of up to 1,600,000  shares) on the open market or in  privately  negotiated
     transactions. Purchases will be made subject to market conditions and other
     investment  opportunities  available  to the Company.  As of September  30,
     2000,  the  Company  repurchased  652,600  shares  of  common  stock  at an
     aggregate cost of approximately $14.8 million.

     On March 31,  2000,  a holder of common OP units  exercised  its option and
     converted its 107,517 common 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
     $2,531,000  representing  the  book  value  of the OP  units at the time of
     conversion.

     The  Company  paid  $17,480,000  ($0.75 per common  share) and  $17,729,000
     ($0.75 per common share) in  distributions  to its common  shareholders for
     the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  Pursuant
     to restrictions on the Credit Facility, distributions may not exceed 95% of
     funds from operations, as defined.

     Equity stock

     In addition to common and  preferred  stock,  the Company 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.

10.  Recent accounting pronouncements

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
     "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities,"  which is
     required  to be  adopted  in years  beginning  after  June 15,  2000.  This
     statement  provides  a  comprehensive  and  consistent   standard  for  the
     recognition  and  measurement of derivatives  and hedging  activities.  The
     Company  is  studying  this  statement  to  determine  its  effect  on  the
     consolidated financial statements and will adopt this statement in the year
     ending December 31, 2001.

11.  Commitments and contingencies

     The Company is subject to the risks inherent in the ownership and operation
     of commercial real estate. These include,  among others, the risks normally
     associated with changes in the general economic climate, trends in the real
     estate industry,  creditworthiness of tenants, competition,  changes in tax
     laws,  interest rate levels,  the  availability  of financing and potential
     liability under environmental and other laws.

     Substantially  all of  the  properties  have  been  subjected  to  Phase  I
     environmental  reviews.  Such reviews have not revealed,  nor is management
     aware of, any  probable or  reasonably  possible  environmental  costs that
     management  believes  would  be  material  to  the  consolidated  financial
     statements except as discussed below.

     The Company acquired a property in Beaverton,  Oregon ("Creekside Corporate
     Park") in May 1998.  A property  adjacent to  Creekside  Corporate  Park is
     currently     the     subject     of     an     environmental      remedial
     investigation/feasibility  study that is being conducted by the current and
     past  owners of the  property,  pursuant  to an order  issued by the Oregon
     Department of Environmental  Quality ("ODEQ").  As part of that study, ODEQ
     ordered the property owners to sample soil and groundwater on the Company's
     property to determine the nature and extent of contamination resulting from
     past  industrial  operations  at the  property  subject to the  study.  The
     Company,  which is not a party of the Order on Consent,  executed  separate
     Access  Agreements with the property owners to allow access to its property
     to conduct the required  sampling and testing.  The sampling and testing is
     ongoing,   and  preliminary   results  from  one  area  indicate  that  the
     contamination from the property subject to the study may have migrated onto
     a portion of Creekside Corporate Park owned by the Company.

                                       14

                            PS BUSINESS PARKS, INC.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 2000


     There  is no  evidence  that  any  past  or  current  use of the  Creekside
     Corporate Park property contributed in any way to the contamination that is
     the subject of the current investigation.  Nevertheless, upon completion of
     the study, it is likely that removal or remedial  measures will be required
     to address any  contamination  detected  during the current  investigation,
     including  any  contamination  on or under  the  Creekside  Corporate  Park
     property.  Because  of the  preliminary  nature of the  investigation,  the
     Company  cannot  predict  the  outcome  of the  investigation,  nor  can it
     estimate the costs of any  remediation  or removal  activities  that may be
     required.

     The Company believes that it bears no  responsibility  or liability for the
     contamination.  In the event the Company is ultimately  deemed  responsible
     for any costs relating to this matter,  the Company believes that the party
     from whom the property was purchased will be  responsible  for any expenses
     or   liabilities   that  the   Company  may  incur  as  a  result  of  this
     contamination.

     On  November  3,  1999,  the  Company  filed an action  in the Los  Angeles
     Superior  Court  seeking  damages  in  excess  of $1  million,  as  well as
     equitable  relief.  The  complaint  alleges  that Mr.  Howard and  entities
     controlled  by  him  engaged  in  unfair  trade  practices,  including  (1)
     negotiating kickbacks,  secret rebates and/or unearned discounts from third
     party suppliers for "providing" Company business to those suppliers and (2)
     disrupting the Company's relationship with various suppliers.

     On or about  February 14, 2000,  Mr. Howard and entities  controlled by him
     filed a  cross-complaint  against the Company,  Public  Storage,  Inc., and
     several  other   cross-defendants   alleging,   among  other  things,   (1)
     interference  with Mr.  Howard's  contractual  relations with various third
     party suppliers, (2) violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and (3)
     abuse of process. None of the cross-complainants assigned any dollar amount
     in the  cross-complaint  to the claims.  The Company  intends to vigorously
     contest the claims in the cross-complaint.

     In November 2000, Mary Jayne Howard, a former officer of the Company, filed
     a complaint  for  discrimination  with the  California  Department  of Fair
     Employment and Housing,  requesting authorization to file a lawsuit against
     the  Company.  The  complaint  does not specify the  damages,  if any,  and
     therefore  the  Company is not able to  establish  the  materiality  of the
     possible claim.  The Company  intends to vigorously  contest any claims for

     The Company  currently is neither subject to any other material  litigation

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  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.  Actual results could differ  materially from those set forth
in the forward-looking  statements as a result of various factors.  Such factors
include,  but are not limited to, a change in economic conditions in the various
markets  served by the Company's  operations  which would  adversely  affect the
level of demand for rental of  commercial  space and the cost  structure  of the
Company,  general real estate  investment risks,  competition,  risks associated
with  acquisition and development  activities and debt financing,  environmental
matters,  general uninsured losses and seismic  activity.  Readers are cautioned
not to place undue  reliance on these  forward-looking  statements,  which speak
only as of the date hereof.  The Company  undertakes  no  obligation to publicly
release  the result of any  revisions  to these  forward-looking  statements  to
reflect  events  or  circumstances  after  the date  hereof  or to  reflect  the
occurrence of unanticipated events.

         Overview:  During 2000 and 1999, the Company focused on increasing cash
flow from its existing core  portfolio of  properties,  expanded its presence in
existing   markets  through   strategic   acquisitions   and   developments  and
strengthened  its balance  sheet  primarily  through the  issuance of  preferred
stock/OP units at reasonable  prices.  By maintaining low leverage,  the Company
believes that future growth is facilitated.  In addition,  management identified
five properties that did not meet its investment  criteria and disposed of these
properties  during 2000. These properties  totaled 627,000 square feet including
238,000  square  feet in  Baltimore,  Maryland,  144,000  square  feet in Tulsa,
Oklahoma, 91,000 square feet in Little Rock, Arkansas and 154,000 square feet in
Houston, Texas. Net proceed from these dispositions totaled $23.6 million.

         During the nine months ended  September 30, 2000, the Company  acquired
178,000 square feet in Northern  California for approximately  $23.3 million and
161,000 square feet in Southern  California for approximately  $25.4 million. In
addition,  the Company acquired 21 acres of land in Texas for approximately $3.7
million for the development of two 100,000 square foot flex buildings.

         During 1999, the Company added approximately 1.3 million square feet to
its portfolio at an aggregate cost of  approximately  $103 million.  The Company
acquired  483,000 square feet in Texas for  approximately  $32 million,  405,000
square feet in Northern  Virginia/Maryland market for approximately $41 million,
211,000  square feet in Northern  California for  approximately  $17 million and
200,000 square feet in Arizona for approximately $13 million.

         Results of Operations:  Net income for the three months ended September
30, 2000 was  $11,471,000  compared to $10,655,000  for the same period in 1999.
Net income  allocable to common  shareholders  (net income less preferred  stock
dividends)  for the  three  months  ended  September  30,  2000 was  $10,199,000
compared to $9,383,000  for the same period in 1999. Net income per common share
on a diluted  basis was $0.44 for the three  months  ended  September  30,  2000
compared to $0.40 for the same period in 1999 (based on weighted average diluted
common shares  outstanding  of 23,216,000  and  23,724,000,  respectively).  Net
income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $33,726,000  compared to
$30,352,000  for the same  period  in  1999.  Net  income  allocable  to  common
shareholders  (net income less  preferred  stock  dividends) for the nine months
ended  September 30, 2000 was  $29,910,000  compared to $28,218,000 for the same
period in 1999. Net income per common share on a diluted basis was $1.28 for the
nine months ended  September  30, 2000  compared to $1.19 for the same period in
1999 (based on weighted average diluted common shares  outstanding of 23,426,000
and  23,713,000,  respectively).  The increases in net income and net income per
share reflect the Company's growth in its asset base through the acquisition and
development  of  commercial  properties  in addition to increased  net operating
income from its stabilized base of properties.

         Supplemental  Property  Data  and  Trends:  In order  to  evaluate  the
performance  of  the  Company's  overall  portfolio,   management  analyzes  the
operating  performance of a consistent group of 107 properties (10.5 million net
rentable  square feet).  These 107 properties  (herein  referred to as the "Same
Park" facilities) have been owned and operated by the Company for the comparable
periods.  These properties do not include  properties that have been sold during
the year. The "Same Park" facilities  represent  approximately 87% of the square
footage of the Company's portfolio at September 30, 2000.

         The  increases  noted above  reflect the  performance  of the Company's
existing  markets.  Southern and Northern  California and Virginia  continued to
benefit from a strong economy. In Northern Texas, the decline in revenue relates
primarily  related  to  lower  expense  recoveries  for the  nine  months  ended
September 30, 2000.

         Facility  Management  Operations:  The  Company's  facility  management
accounts for a small portion of the Company's net operating  income.  During the
three months ended  September  30, 2000,  $104,000 in net  operating  income was
recognized from facility management  operations compared to $97,000 for the same
period in 1999. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, $306,000 in net
operating income was recognized from facility management  operations compared to
$281,000 for the same period in 1999.  Facility  management  fees have increased
due to the increase in rental rates of the properties managed by the Company.

         Business Services: The Company recently hired a Vice President to focus
on creating new revenue  opportunities  for the Company and additional  products
and services for our customers. Currently the Company has begun receiving income
from  construction  management  fees and  fees  from  telecommunication  service
providers.  During the three months  ended  September  30,  2000,  $4,000 in net
operating  income was derived from such  services  compared to none for the same
period in 1999. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, $207,000 in net
operating  income was derived from such  services  compared to none for the same
period in 1999.

         Interest  Income:  Interest income reflects  earnings on cash balances.
Interest  income was  $1,035,000  for the three months ended  September 30, 2000
compared to $581,000 for the same period in 1999. Interest income was $3,046,000
for the nine months ended  September  30, 2000 compared to $845,000 for the same

                                       20
<PAGE>

period in 1999. The increase is attributable to increased  average cash balances
and higher  interest  rates.  Average  cash  balances for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 were  approximately  $64 million  compared to $47 million for
the same  period  in 1999.  Average  cash  balances  for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 2000 were  approximately  $68 million  compared to $24 million for
the same period in 1999.

         Dividend  Income:  Dividend  income  reflects  earnings from marketable
securities.  Dividend  income was $439,000 for the three months ended  September
30, 2000  compared to $11,000 for the same period in 1999.  Dividend  income was
$1,297,000 for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 compared to $40,000 for
the same period in 1999. The increase is attributable  to increased  investments
in marketable securities.

         Cost of  Operations:  Cost of  operations  for the three  months  ended
September 30, 2000 was $9,762,000  compared to $8,920,000 for the same period in
1999.  Cost of  operations  for the nine  months  ended  September  30, 2000 was
$29,432,000  compared  to  $25,951,000  for the same  period  in  1999.  Cost of
operations for the three months ended  September 30, 2000 consists  primarily of
property  taxes  ($3,138,000),  property  maintenance  ($1,818,000),   utilities
($2,044,000)  and direct payroll  ($1,467,000).  Cost of operations for the nine
months  ended   September  30,  2000  consists   primarily  of  property   taxes
($9,481,000),  property  maintenance  ($5,399,000),  utilities  ($5,143,000) and
direct payroll ($4,345,000).  The increase is due primarily to the growth in the
total  square  footage  of  the  Company's  portfolio  of  properties.  Cost  of
operations as a percentage of rental  income  decreased  from 27.4% to 26.5% and
from 28.0% to 27.4% for the three and nine months ended  September  30, 2000 and
1999,  respectively,  as a result of  economies  of scale  achieved  through the
acquisition  and   development  of  properties  in  existing   markets  and  the
disposition of properties outside of our core markets.

         Depreciation  and Amortization  Expense:  Depreciation and amortization
expense for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $9,449,000 compared to
$7,594,000 for the same period in 1999.  Depreciation and  amortization  expense
for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000 was  $26,723,000  compared  to
$21,641,000  for the same period in 1999. The increase is due to the acquisition
and development of real estate facilities during 1999 and 2000.

         General and Administrative Expense:  General and administrative expense
was $995,000 for the three months ended  September 30, 2000 compared to $742,000
for the same period in 1999. General and  administrative  expense was $2,859,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $2,339,000 for the same
period  in  1999.  The  increase  is due  primarily  to the  increased  size and
activities  of the  Company.  Included in general and  administrative  costs are
acquisition costs and abandoned  transaction  costs.  Acquisition  expenses were
$130,000 and $139,000  for the three months ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.  There were no  abandoned  transaction  costs for the three months
ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  Acquisition  expenses  were
$378,000 and $324,000  for the nine months  ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.  Abandoned  transaction costs were $7,000 and $30,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

         Interest  Expense:  Interest  expense was $502,000 for the three months
ended  September  30, 2000  compared  to  $977,000  for the same period in 1999.
Interest  expense was  $1,246,000  for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000
compared to $2,658,000 for the same period in 1999. The decrease is attributable
to decreased  average debt  balances  during the period and greater  capitalized
interest  in 2000 as a result  of  higher  construction  in  progress.  Interest
expense of $308,000  and  $174,000  was  capitalized  as part of building  costs
associated  with  properties  under  development  during the three  months ended
September  30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  Interest  expense of $996,000  and
$584,000 was  capitalized as part of building costs  associated  with properties
under  development  during the nine months  ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

         Minority  Interest in Income:  Minority interest in income reflects the
income allocable to equity  interests in the Operating  Partnership that are not
owned by the  Company.  Minority  interest in income for the three  months ended
September 30, 2000 was $6,360,000 ($3,157,000 allocated to preferred unitholders
and  $3,203,000   allocated  to  common  unitholders)   compared  to  $4,369,000
($1,022,000  allocated  to preferred  unitholders  and  $3,347,000  allocated to
common unitholders) for the same period in 1999. Minority interest in income for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $18,391,000  ($8,998,000  allocated
to  preferred  unitholders  and  $9,393,000  allocated  to  common  unitholders)
compared to  $10,769,000  ($1,236,000  allocated  to preferred  unitholders  and

                                       21
<PAGE>

$9,533,000  allocated to common  unitholders)  for the same period in 1999.  The
increase in  minority  interest in income is due  primarily  to the  issuance of
preferred operating partnership units in April and September of 1999.

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

         Net cash  provided by  operating  activities  for the nine months ended
September  30,  2000 and 1999 was  $82,895,000  and  $62,745,000,  respectively.
Management believes that its internally generated net cash provided by operating
activities  will  continue to be  sufficient  to enable it to meet its operating
expenses,  capital  improvements,  debt  service  requirements  and maintain the
current level of distribution to shareholders.

         The Company owns  approximately  one million  shares of common stock of
Pacific  Gulf   Properties,   Inc.   ("PAG")   representing   an  investment  of
approximately $20 million. On November 9, 2000, the shareholders of PAG approved
the sale of its  industrial  property  portfolio  and the sale of its  remaining
assets and subsequent  liquidation and  dissolution.  PAG expects to make a cash
distribution to shareholders in December 2000 of up to $25.50 per share from the
sale proceeds.  This would result in net proceeds of approximately $25.5 million
to the  Company  or $5.5  million  in excess  of our  original  investment.  The
investment  is  currently  reflected  on the  balance  sheet  at  $26.5  million
reflecting  the fair  market  value of the  stock at  September  30,  2000.  The
unrealized  gain is not  reflected  in net income or FFO.  There is no assurance
that the Company will realize the estimated net proceeds.

         The Company sold five properties for approximately $23.6 million during
the nine months ended  September  30, 2000 at a gain of  $256,000.  There are no
additional property dispositions planned for the year 2000.

         The following  table  summarizes the Company's  ability to make capital
improvements  to maintain  its  facilities  through the use of cash  provided by
operating activities. The remaining cash flow is available to the Company to pay
distributions  to  shareholders,  make  principal  payments  on debt and to make
investments in real estate.

</TABLE>

         The  Company's  capital  structure is  characterized  by a low level of
leverage.  As of September  30, 2000,  the Company had seven fixed rate mortgage
notes  payable  totaling   $31,168,000  which  represented  3.6%  of  its  total
capitalization (based on book value, including minority interests and debt). The
weighted average interest rate for the mortgage notes is 7.59%.

         In September  2000,  the Company  extended its unsecured line of credit
(the  "Credit  Facility")  with Wells  Fargo  Bank.  The Credit  Facility  has a
borrowing  limit  of  $100 million  and  an  expiration  date of August 6, 2003.

                                       22
<PAGE>


The  expiration  date may be  extended  by one year on each  anniversary  of the
Credit Facility.  Interest on outstanding  borrowings is payable monthly. At the
option of the  Company,  the rate of interest  charged is equal to (i) the prime
rate or (ii) a rate ranging  from the London  Interbank  Offered Rate  ("LIBOR")
plus 0.75% to 1.35%  depending  on the  Company's  credit  ratings and  coverage
ratios,  as defined  (currently LIBOR plus 1.00%).  In addition,  the Company is
required to pay an annual commitment fee of 0.25%.

         The  Company  expects  to fund its  growth  strategies  with  permanent
capital,  including  issuances  of common  and  preferred  stock and  internally
generated retained cash flows. In addition, the Company may sell properties that
no longer meet its investment criteria.  The Company may finance acquisitions on
a temporary basis with  borrowings from its line of credit.  The Company intends
to repay amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility from undistributed cash flow
or, as market conditions  permit and as determined to be advantageous,  from the
public or private  placement of preferred and common stock/OP units or formation
of joint  ventures.  The Company  targets a leverage ratio of 40% and Funds from
Operations ("FFO") to combined fixed charges and preferred  distributions  ratio
of 3.0 to 1.0. As of September 30, 2000 and for the nine months then ended,  the
leverage ratio was 22% (based on the fair market  capitalization) and the FFO to
fixed charges and preferred distributions coverage ratio was 6.0 to 1.0.

         In April 1999, the Company  completed a private  placement of preferred
OP units and a public  offering of  depositary  shares  representing  fractional
interest in perpetual  preferred stock resulting in net proceeds  totaling $65.6
million.  The net proceeds from the  placement of preferred OP units,  completed
April 23, 1999 were approximately  $12.5 million.  The preferred OP units have a
preferred  distribution rate of 8 7/8% on a stated value of $12.75 million.  The
preferred OP units have equivalent terms to those of perpetual  preferred stock.
Net proceeds from the public perpetual  preferred stock offering completed April
30, 1999 were $53.1 million.  The preferred  stock has a dividend rate of 9 1/4%
on a stated value of $55 million.  Proceeds from the issuances  were used to pay
off borrowings from an affiliate and a portion was used to repay a mortgage note
payable of  approximately  $11 million.  The  remaining  proceeds  were used for
investment in real estate.

         On September 3, 1999,  the  Operating  Partnership  completed a private
placement of 3,200,000  preferred units with a preferred  distribution rate of 8
3/4%. The net proceeds from the placement of preferred units were  approximately
$78  million.  A portion  of the  proceeds  was used to prepay a  mortgage  note
payable  of  approximately  $8.5  million.  On  September  7 and 23,  1999,  the
Operating  Partnership  completed  private  placements  of 1,200,000 and 400,000
preferred units, respectively, with a preferred distribution rate of 8 7/8%. The
net proceeds  from the  placement of preferred  units were  approximately  $39.2
million.

         On  July  12,  2000  the  Operating  Partnership  completed  a  private
placement of 480,000  preferred  units with a preferred  distribution  rate of 8
7/8%. The net proceeds from the placement of preferred units were  approximately
$11.7 million and will be used for investment in real estate.

         Funds  from  Operations:  FFO is  defined as net  income,  computed  in
accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  ("GAAP"),  before
depreciation,  amortization,  minority  interest in income,  straight-line  rent
adjustments and  extraordinary or non-recurring  items. FFO is presented because
the Company considers FFO to be a useful measure of the operating performance of
a REIT which,  together with net income and cash flows provides investors with a
basis to evaluate the operating and cash flow  performances  of a REIT. FFO does
not represent net income or cash flows from  operations as defined by GAAP.  FFO
does  not take  into  consideration  scheduled  principal  payments  on debt and
capital improvements.  Accordingly, FFO is not necessarily a substitute for cash
flow or net income as a measure of liquidity or operating performance or ability
to make acquisitions and capital improvements or ability to pay distributions or
debt principal payments.  Also, FFO as computed and disclosed by the Company may
not be comparable to FFO computed and disclosed by other REITs.

         FFO for the Company is computed as follows:

</TABLE>

         Capital Expenditures:  During the nine months ended September 30, 2000,
the Company incurred $7.6 million in maintenance  capital  expenditures,  tenant
improvements and capitalized lease commissions. On a recurring annual basis, the
Company expects $0.90 to $1.20 per square foot in recurring capital expenditures
(an  aggregate of $11 - $15 million  based on square  footage at  September  30,
2000).

         Developments: The Company is currently developing approximately 335,000
square feet of flex and office buildings in Northern Virginia, Dallas, Texas and
Beaverton,  Oregon at an aggregate cost of approximately  $37 million.  Unfunded
development costs are approximately $23 million.

         Distributions: The Company has elected and intends to qualify as a REIT
for federal income tax purposes.  As a REIT, the Company must meet,  among other
tests,  sources of income, share ownership and certain asset tests. In addition,
the  Company  is not  taxed  on that  portion  of its  taxable  income  which is
distributed to its shareholders provided that at least 95% of its taxable income
is so  distributed  to its  shareholders  prior to filing of the  Company's  tax
return.

         The Board of  Directors  declared  a  quarterly  dividend  of $0.25 per
common share on November 8, 2000. In addition, the Board of Directors declared a
quarterly  dividend  of  $0.578125  per  share  on the  depositary  shares  each
representing  1/1000 of a share of 9 1/4% Cumulative  Preferred Stock, Series A.
Distributions  are payable on December 29, 2000 to  shareholders of record as of
the close of business on December 15, 2000.

ITEM 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

         To limit the Company's exposure to market risk, the Company principally
finances its operations and growth with permanent  equity capital  consisting of
either common or preferred stock. At September 30, 2000, the Company's debt as a
percentage of shareholders' equity (based on book values) was 5.6%.

         The Company's market risk sensitive  instruments include mortgage notes
payable which totaled  $31,168,000 at September 30, 2000.  Substantially  all of
the Company's mortgage notes payable bear interest at fixed rates. See Note 6 of
the  Notes to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for  terms,  valuations  and
approximate  principal  maturities of the mortgage notes payable as of September
30,  2000.  Based on borrowing  rates  currently  available to the Company,  the
carrying amount of debt approximates fair value.

PART II.     OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.      LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         In November 2000,  Mary Jayne Howard,  a former officer of the Company,
filed a complaint  for  discrimination  with the  California  Department of Fair
Employment and Housing,  requesting  authorization to file a lawsuit against the
Company.  The complaint does not specify the damages,  if any, and therefore the
Company is not able to establish  the  materiality  of the possible  claim.  The
Company  intends to  vigorously  contest  any claims for  discrimination  by Ms.
Howard.
