                      PUBLIC STORAGE PROPERTIES XVIII, INC.
                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


1.   The  accompanying   unaudited  condensed  financial  statements  have  been
     prepared  pursuant  to the  rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and
     Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
     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, 1996.

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, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the results of its operations for the
     three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 and its cash flows for the three
     months then ended.

3.   The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 are not
     necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

4.   The Company has an  unsecured  revolving  credit  facility  with a bank for
     borrowings  up to  $6,500,000  for  working  capital  purposes  and general
     corporate purposes.  Outstanding  borrowings on the credit facility, at the
     Company's  option,  bear interest at either the bank's prime rate plus .25%
     (8.75% at March 31,  1997) or the bank's  LIBOR  rate plus  2.25%  (8.0% at
     March 31, 1997).  Interest is payable monthly until maturity.  Principal is
     payable quarterly  beginning on October 1, 1997. On September 30, 2002, the
     remaining  unpaid  principal  and interest is due and  payable.  During the
     three  months  ended March 31,  1997,  the Company  had net  borrowings  of
     $350,000 on its credit facility. At March 31, 1997, the outstanding balance
     on the credit facility was $4,500,000.

     In April 1997, the Company's  Board of Directors  authorized the Company to
     obtain a revolving credit facility from Public Storage,  Inc.  ("PSI"),  an
     affiliate,  for a maximum of $4,500,000 to repay and terminate its existing
     credit facility.  In May 1997, the Company borrowed  $4,460,000 from PSI to
     pay off the outstanding balance on its credit facility.  The PSI loan bears
     interest at 7%, payable monthly and matures in April 1998.

5.   In April 1997, the Company and Public Storage, Inc. ("PSI") agreed, subject
     to certain conditions, to merge. Upon the merger, each outstanding share of
     the  Company's  common  stock series A (other than shares held by PSI or by
     holders of the  Company's  common stock series A ("Series A  Shareholders")
     who  have  properly  exercised  dissenters'  rights  under  California  law
     ("Dissenting  Shares"))  will be converted  into the right to receive cash,
     PSI common stock or a combination of the two, as follows:  (i) with respect
     to a certain  number of shares of the Company's  common stock series A (not
     to exceed 20% of the outstanding common stock series A of the Company, less
     any Dissenting Shares), upon a Series A Shareholder's  election,  $20.38 in
     cash,  subject to reduction as described below or (ii) that number (subject
     to rounding) of shares of PSI common stock  determined by dividing  $20.38,
     subject to reduction as  described  below,  by the average of the per share
     closing  prices on the New York Stock  Exchange of PSI common  stock during
     the 20  consecutive  trading days ending on the fifth  trading day prior to
     the special meeting of the Company's  shareholders.  The consideration paid
     by PSI to the Series A  Shareholders  in the merger  will be reduced by the
     amount  of  cash  distributions  required  to  be  paid  to  the  Series  A
     Shareholders by the Company prior to completion of the merger (estimated at
     $0.91 per  share)  in order to  satisfy  the  Company's  REIT  distribution
     requirements ("Required REIT Distributions"). The consideration received by
     the Series A Shareholders in the merger,  however,  along with any Required
     REIT Distributions, will not be less than $20.38 per share of the Company's
     common  stock  series A, which  amount  represents  the market value of the
     Company's  real estate  assets at March 17,  1997 (based on an  independent
     appraisal) and interest of the Series A  Shareholders  in the estimated net
     asset value of its other assets at June 30, 1997. Additional  distributions
     will be made to the Series A Shareholders to cause the Company's  estimated
     net asset value  allocable to the Series A  Shareholders  as of the date of
     the merger to be  substantially  equivalent  to $20.38 per share.  Upon the
     merger,  each share of the Company's common stock series B and common stock
     series C (other than shares held by PSI) would be converted  into the right
     to  receive  $9.36  in PSI  common  stock  (valued  as in the  case  of the
     Company's  common  stock  series A) plus (i) any  additional  distributions
     equal to the  amount  by which the  Company's  estimated  net  asset  value
     allocable to the holders of the Company's common stock series B and C as of
     the date of the  merger  exceeds  $9.36 per  share  and (ii) the  estimated
     Required REIT Distributions  payable to the holders of the Company's common
     stock series B of $0.91 per share.  The common stock of the Company held by
     PSI will be canceled in the merger.  The merger is  conditioned  on,  among
     other requirements,  approval by the Company's shareholders. It is expected
     that the merger  will close in June or July of 1997.  PSI is the  Company's
     mini-warehouse  operator and owns 35.2% of the total combined shares of the
     Company's common stock series A, B and C.

                      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, 1997 and 1996
was  $1,182,000  and  $1,023,000,  respectively,  representing  an  increase  of
$159,000 or 16%.  This increase is primarily a result of an increase in property
net operating  income (rental income less cost of  operations,  management  fees
paid to  affiliates  and  depreciation  expense)  combined  with a  decrease  in
interest expense.

     Rental  income  for the three  months  ended  March  31,  1997 and 1996 was
$2,885,000 and $2,645,000, respectively, representing an increase of $240,000 or
9%. The Company's mini-warehouse operations contributed $194,000 to the increase
in rental  income  due  mainly  to an  increase  in  rental  rates at all of the
Company's  facilities but primarily  those located in  California,  Illinois and
Pennsylvania. The Company's San Diego, California business park also experienced
an increase in rental  income due to an increase in rental  rates and  occupancy
levels.

     The Company's  mini-warehouse  operations  had weighted  average  occupancy
levels of 87% and 86% for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.  The  Company's  business  park  facility  had a weighted  average
occupancy  level of 96% and 89% for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997
and 1996, respectively.

     Cost of  operations  (including  management  fees  paid to  affiliates  and
depreciation  expense)  for the three  months  ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 was
$1,538,000 and $1,424,000, respectively, representing an increase of $114,000 or
8%. This increase is primarily  attributable  to increases in payroll,  property
taxes,  management fees and advertising costs. The increase in property taxes is
primarily  due to an  increase in assessed  values at the  Company's  facilities
located in New York, Colorado and Illinois.

     In 1995, the Company  prepaid eight months of 1996  management  fees on its
mini-warehouse  operations  discounted at a 14% effective rate to compensate for
early  payment.  As a result,  management fee expense for the three months ended
March 31,  1996 was $16,000  lower than it would have been under the  customary,
undiscounted fee structure.

     Interest  expense was $99,000 and $136,000 for the three months ended March
31,  1997 and 1996,  respectively,  representing  a decrease  of  $37,000.  This
decrease was  primarily  due to a lower  outstanding  loan balance for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996.

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

     Cash flows from operating activities ($1,757,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997), cash reserves and borrowings from the Company's credit facility
discussed   below  were   sufficient  to  meet  all  current   obligations   and
distributions  of the Company  during the three  months  ended  March 31,  1997.
Management expects cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund capital
expenditures and quarterly distributions.

     The Company has an  unsecured  revolving  credit  facility  with a bank for
borrowings up to $6,500,000 for working capital  purposes and general  corporate
purposes.  Outstanding  borrowings  on the  credit  facility,  at the  Company's
option,  bear interest at either the bank's prime rate plus .25% (8.75% at March
31, 1997) or the bank's LIBOR rate plus 2.25% (8.0% at March 31, 1997). Interest
is payable monthly until maturity.  Principal is payable quarterly  beginning on
October 1, 1997.  On September  30, 2002,  the  remaining  unpaid  principal and
interest is due and payable.  During the three months ended March 31, 1997,  the
Company had net  borrowings  of $350,000  on its credit  facility.  At March 31,
1997, the outstanding balance on the credit facility was $4,500,000.

     In April 1997, the Company's  Board of Directors  authorized the Company to
obtain a  revolving  credit  facility  from Public  Storage,  Inc.  ("PSI"),  an
affiliate,  for a maximum of  $4,500,000  to repay and  terminate  its  existing
credit facility.  In May 1997, the Company  borrowed  $4,460,000 from PSI to pay
off the outstanding balance on its credit facility.  The PSI loan bears interest
at 7%, payable monthly and matures in April 1998.

     The Company's  Board of Directors has authorized the Company to purchase up
to 1,100,000  shares of Series A common stock. As of March 31, 1997, the Company
had  repurchased  961,474  shares of Series A common  stock,  none of which were
purchased in the first quarter of 1997.

     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.

     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 1996, the Company's Federal tax depreciation
was $1,199,000.

Supplemental Information.
- -------------------------

         Funds from operations (FFO) is defined by the Company,  consistent with
the  definition  of FFO by the National  Association  of Real Estate  Investment
Trusts  (NAREIT),  as net income (loss)  (computed in accordance  with generally
accepted  accounting   principles)  before  depreciation  and  extraordinary  or
non-recurring  items. FFO for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 was
$1,596,000 and $1,426,000,  respectively.  FFO is presented because the Company,
as  well  as many  industry  analysts,  consider  FFO to be one  measure  of the



                                        9


<PAGE>

performance  of the  Company,  ie, one that  generally  reflects  changes in the
Company's net operating income. FFO does not take into  consideration  scheduled
principal  payments on debt and capital  improvements.  Accordingly,  FFO is not
necessarily a substitute  for the Company's cash flow or net income as a measure
of  the  Company's  liquidity  or  operating   performance  or  ability  to  pay
distributions.  Furthermore,  the NAREIT  definition of FFO does not address the
treatment  of  certain  items and all  REITs do not treat  items the same way in
computing  FFO.  Accordingly,  comparisons  of levels of FFO among REITs may not
necessarily be meaningful.

Proposed Merger.

ITEMS 1 through 4 are inapplicable.

ITEM 5  Other Information
        -----------------


     In April 1997, the Company and Public Storage, Inc. ("PSI") agreed, subject
     to certain conditions, to merge. Upon the merger, each outstanding share of
     the  Company's  common  stock series A (other than shares held by PSI or by
     holders of the  Company's  common stock series A ("Series A  Shareholders")
     who  have  properly  exercised  dissenters'  rights  under  California  law
     ("Dissenting  Shares"))  will be converted  into the right to receive cash,
     PSI common stock or a combination of the two, as follows:  (i) with respect
     to a certain  number of shares of the Company's  common stock series A (not
     to exceed 20% of the outstanding common stock series A of the Company, less
     any Dissenting Shares), upon a Series A Shareholder's  election,  $20.38 in
     cash,  subject to reduction as described below or (ii) that number (subject
     to rounding) of shares of PSI common stock  determined by dividing  $20.38,
     subject to reduction as  described  below,  by the average of the per share
     closing  prices on the New York Stock  Exchange of PSI common  stock during
     the 20  consecutive  trading days ending on the fifth  trading day prior to
     the special meeting of the Company's  shareholders.  The consideration paid
     by PSI to the Series A  Shareholders  in the merger  will be reduced by the
     amount  of  cash  distributions  required  to  be  paid  to  the  Series  A
     Shareholders by the Company prior to completion of the merger (estimated at
     $0.91 per  share)  in order to  satisfy  the  Company's  REIT  distribution
     requirements ("Required REIT Distributions"). The consideration received by
     the Series A Shareholders in the merger,  however,  along with any Required
     REIT Distributions, will not be less than $20.38 per share of the Company's
     common  stock  series A, which  amount  represents  the market value of the
     Company's  real estate  assets at March 17,  1997 (based on an  independent
     appraisal) and interest of the Series A  Shareholders  in the estimated net
     asset value of its other assets at June 30, 1997. Additional  distributions
     will be made to the Series A Shareholders to cause the Company's  estimated
     net asset value  allocable to the Series A  Shareholders  as of the date of
     the merger to be  substantially  equivalent  to $20.38 per share.  Upon the
     merger,  each share of the Company's common stock series B and common stock
     series C (other than shares held by PSI) would be converted  into the right
     to  receive  $9.36  in PSI  common  stock  (valued  as in the  case  of the
     Company's  common  stock  series A) plus (i) any  additional  distributions
     equal to the  amount  by which the  Company's  estimated  net  asset  value
     allocable to the holders of the Company's common stock series B and C as of
     the date of the  merger  exceeds  $9.36 per  share  and (ii) the  estimated
     Required REIT Distributions  payable to the holders of the Company's common
     stock series B of $0.91 per share.  The common stock of the Company held by
     PSI will be canceled in the merger.  The merger is  conditioned  on,  among
     other requirements,  approval by the Company's shareholders. It is expected
     that the merger  will close in June or July of 1997.  PSI is the  Company's
     mini-warehouse  operator and owns 35.2% of the total combined shares of the
     Company's common stock series A, B and C.
