     included in financial  statements  prepared in  accordance  with  generally
     accepted  accounting  principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to
     such  rules  and  regulations,   although   management  believes  that  the
     disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the information presented
     not misleading.  These unaudited condensed  financial  statements should be
     read in  conjunction  with  the  financial  statements  and  related  notes
     appearing in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

2.   In  the  opinion  of  management,   the  accompanying  unaudited  condensed
     financial  statements  reflect all  adjustments,  consisting of only normal
     accruals,  necessary to present fairly the Company's  financial position at
     March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the results of its operations for the
     three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 and its cash flows for the three
     months then ended.

3.   The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 are not
     necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

4.   In 1995,  the Company  prepaid  eight months of 1996  management  fees at a
     total cost of $329,000.  The Company expensed  $123,000 of the 1996 prepaid
     management  fees for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  The balance of
     prepaid management fees,  $206,000,  is included in prepaid expenses in the
     Balance Sheet at March 31, 1996.

                      PUBLIC STORAGE PROPERTIES XVIII, INC.
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


     The  following  is   management's   discussion   and  analysis  of  certain
significant  factors  occurring during the periods presented in the accompanying
Condensed Financial Statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
- - ----------------------

     The  Company's  net income for the three  months  ended  March 31, 1996 was
$1,023,000  compared to  $1,056,000  for the three  months ended March 31, 1995,
representing  a decrease of $33,000 or 3%. This decrease is primarily the result
of an increase in  interest  expense.  Net  operating  income of the  properties
(rental income less cost of operations,  management fees paid to affiliates, and
depreciation expense) was virtually unchanged at $1,221,000 for the three months
ended March 31,  1996 versus  $1,220,000  for the three  months  ended March 31,
1995.

     Rental  income  for the three  months  ended  March  31,  1996 and 1995 was
$2,645,000 and $2,521,000, respectively, representing an increase of $124,000 or
5%. The Company's mini-warehouse operations contributed $112,000 to the increase
in rental  revenues.  This increase is primarily  attributable to an increase in
occupancy  levels and rental  rates at the  Company's  California,  New York and
Washington  properties.  The  Company's  San  Diego,  California  business  park
experienced  a slight  increase  in rental  revenue due to an increase in rental
rates.

     The Company's  mini-warehouse  operations  had weighted  average  occupancy
levels of 86% and 85% for the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  The  Company's  business  park  facility  had a weighted  average
occupancy  level of 89% and 92% for the three month periods ended March 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively.

     Cost of  operations  (including  management  fees  paid to  affiliates  and
depreciation  expense)  increased to $1,424,000  from  $1,301,000  for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively,  representing an increase of
$123,000  or 9%.  This  increase  is  primarily  attributable  to an increase in
property tax expense and repairs and maintenance costs. The increase in property
tax  expense is  primarily  due to one-time  tax  refunds  received in the first
quarter of 1995 from  appealing  a prior year tax  assessment  at the  Company's
Inglewood, California and San Diego business park. Repairs and maintenance costs
increased  during the first  quarter of 1996  mainly due to an  increase in snow
removal costs associated with higher than normal snow levels  experienced at the
Company's mini-warehouse properties in the eastern states.

                                       7
<PAGE>

     In 1995, the Company  prepaid eight months of 1996  management  fees on its
mini-warehouse  operations  (based  on the  management  fees for the  comparable
period during the calendar year immediately preceding the prepayment) discounted
at the rate of 14% per year to compensate  for early  payment.  During the three
month  period  ended March 31, 1996,  the Company  expensed  $123,000 of prepaid
management fees. The amount is included in management fees paid to affiliates in
the condensed  statements of income. As a result of the prepayment,  the Company
saved  approximately  $16,000 in management  fees,  based on the management fees
that would have been  payable on rental  income  generated  in the three  months
ended March 31, 1996 compared to the amount prepaid.

     The Company's  interest  expense  increased to $136,000 from $93,000 during
the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,  respectively,  representing  an
increase of $43,000. The increase is due to a higher outstanding loan balance in
1996 over 1995.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.
- - --------------------------------

     Cash flows from operating activities ($1,416,000 for the three months ended
March 31,  1996) and  borrowing  against  the  Company's  credit  facility  were
sufficient  to meet all current  obligations  and  distributions  of the Company
during the three months ended March 31, 1996. Management expects cash flows from
operations  will  be  sufficient  to fund  capital  expenditures  and  quarterly
distributions.

     The Company's  Board of Directors has authorized the Company to purchase up
to  1,100,000  Series A common  stock.  As of March 31,  1996,  the  Company had
repurchased  961,474  shares  of  Series A common  stock,  of which  3,600  were
purchased in the first quarter of 1996.


                                    8
<PAGE>

     In November 1994, the Company  obtained an unsecured  non-revolving  credit
facility  with a bank  for  borrowings  up to  $5,000,000  for  working  capital
purposes and general corporate purposes.  In 1995, the Company  renegotiated its
credit  facility to increase the borrowings up to $7,000,000,  change the credit
facility from  non-revolving to revolving,  extend the conversion date to a term
loan to October 1, 1996 and extend the  maturity  date to  September  30,  2001.
Outstanding  borrowings on the credit facility,  at the Company's  option,  bear
interest at either the bank's  prime rate plus .25% (8.5% at March 31,  1996) or
the bank's LIBOR rate plus 2.25% (7.75% at March 31, 1996).  Interest is payable
monthly.  Principal will be payable  quarterly  beginning on October 1, 1996. On
September  30, 2001,  the  remaining  unpaid  principal  and interest is due and
payable.  At March 31, 1996, the outstanding  balance on the credit facility was
$6,500,000.  In April 1996, the Company  borrowed an additional  $450,000 on its
line of credit facility.  The Company is subject to certain covenants  including
cash flow coverages and dividend restrictions. As of March 31, 1996, the Company
was in compliance with the covenants of the credit facility.

     The Company has elected and intends to continue to qualify as a real estate
investment  trust  ("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.  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 primary  difference  between book income and taxable
income is depreciation  expense. In 1995, the Company's federal tax depreciation
was $1,196,000.

     The bylaws of the Company provide that,  during 1999,  unless  shareholders
have previously  approved such a proposal,  the  shareholders  will be presented
with a proposal to approve or  disapprove  (a) the sale or  financing  of all or
substantially  all of the  properties and (b) the  distribution  of the proceeds
from  such  transaction  and,  in the  case of a sale,  the  liquidation  of the
Company.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION.
- - -------------------------

     The Company's  funds from  operations  ("FFO") is defined  generally by the
National  Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts as net income before loss
on early  extinguishment  of debt and gain on disposition  of real estate,  plus
depreciation and amortization. FFO for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
1995  was  $1,426,000  and  $1,466,000,  respectively.  FFO  is  a  supplemental
performance  measure for equity Real Estate  Investment  Trusts used by industry
analysts.  FFO does not take  into  consideration  principal  payments  on debt,
capital  improvements,  distributions and other obligations of the Company.  The
only  depreciation  or  amortization  that is added to income  to derive  FFO is
depreciation  and  amortization  directly  related to physical real estate.  All
depreciation and  amortization  reported by the Company relates to physical real
estate  and does  not  include  any  depreciation  or  amortization  related  to
goodwill, deferred financing costs or other intangibles. FFO is not a substitute
for the  Company's  net cash  provided  by  operating  activities  or net income
computed in accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  as a
measure of liquidity or operating performance.
