                     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, 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
     September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the results of its operations for
     the three and nine months  ended  September  30, 1996 and 1995 and its cash
     flows for the nine months then ended.

3.   The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,
     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 $351,000.  The amount has been  expensed as  management  fees
     paid to affiliate during the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

5.   In December  1995,  the  Company  obtained an  unsecured  revolving  credit
     facility with a bank for  borrowings up to $2,500,000  for working  capital
     purposes and to repurchase the Company's stock.  Outstanding  borrowings on
     the credit facility,  at the Company's option,  bear interest at either the
     bank's  prime rate plus .25% (8.50% at  September  30,  1996) or the bank's
     LIBOR rate plus 2.25% (7.875% at September  30, 1996).  Interest is payable
     monthly. On December 31, 1999, all unpaid principal and accrued interest is
     due and payable.  During the nine months  ended  September  30,  1996,  the
     Company borrowed and repaid $1,450,000. At September 30, 1996, there was no
     outstanding  balance on the credit  facility.  In October 1996, the Company
     borrowed an additional $375,000 on its line of credit facility. The Company
     is subject to certain covenants  including cash flow coverages and dividend
     restrictions.  As of September 30, 1996, the Company was in compliance with
     the covenants of the credit facility.

6.   In August  1996,  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,  $19.00 in cash,  subject to reduction as described below or (ii)
     that number (subject to rounding) of shares of PSI common stock  determined
     by dividing $19.00, 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 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  $19.00  per  share of the  Company's
     common stock series A, which amount represents the interest of the Series A
     Shareholders  in the market value of the  Company's  real estate  assets at
     June 30, 1996 (based on an  independent  appraisal) and the interest of the
     Series A Shareholders  in the estimated net asset value of its other assets
     at December 31, 1996. 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  $19.00  per  share.  Upon  the  merger,  each  share of the
     Company's  common  stock  series B, common  stock series C and common stock
     series D would be converted  into the right to receive $11.66 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, C and D as of the date of the  merger  exceeds  $11.66 per
     share and (ii) the estimated  Required REIT  Distributions  attributable to
     the  Company's  common stock series B of $0.70 per share.  The common stock
     series A, B, C and D of the Company  held by PSI will be  cancelled  in the
     merger. The merger is conditioned on, among other requirements, approval by
     the Company's  shareholders.  It is expected that any merger would close in
     December 1996. PSI is the Company's  mini-warehouse operator and owns 28.2%
     of the total combined  shares of the Company's  common stock series A, B, C
     and D.

                         PARTNERS PREFERRED YIELD, 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 nine months ended  September 30, 1996 and
1995 was $3,061,000  and  $3,206,000,  respectively,  representing a decrease of
$145,000 or 4%. Net income for the three  months  ended  September  30, 1996 and
1995 was $1,088,000  and  $1,163,000,  respectively,  representing a decrease of
$75,000 or 6%.  These  decreases  are  primarily  due to  increases  in interest
expense  combined with decreases in property net operating income (rental income
less cost of  operations,  management  fees paid to affiliate  and  depreciation
expense).

     Rental  income for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1996 and 1995 was
$7,440,000 and $7,212,000, respectively, representing an increase of $228,000 or
3%.  Rental  income for the three months ended  September  30, 1996 and 1995 was
$2,542,000 and $2,481,000, respectively,  representing an increase of $61,000 or
2%. These increases are primarily due to increased rental rates at a majority of
the Company's properties.

     The Company's  mini-warehouse  operations  had weighted  average  occupancy
levels of 89% for both the nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.

     Cost  of  operations  (including  management  fees  paid to  affiliate  and
depreciation  expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was
$4,113,000 and $3,806,000, respectively, representing an increase of $307,000 or
8%. Cost of  operations  for the three months ended  September 30, 1996 and 1995
was  $1,359,000  and  $1,247,000,  respectively,  representing  an  increase  of
$112,000 or 9%.  These  increases  are  primarily  attributable  to increases in
payroll expense,  property tax expense,  advertising and repairs and maintenance
costs.  Property  taxes  increased  primarily due to an increase in property tax
rates at the Company's Colorado and Illinois properties. Repairs and maintenance
costs increased  mainly due to an increase in snow removal costs associated with
higher than normal snow levels  experienced at the Company's  properties located
in the eastern states.

     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.  The Company has
expensed the prepaid  management  fees.  The amount is shown as management  fees
paid to  affiliate in the  condensed  statements  of income.  As a result of the
prepayment, the Company saved approximately $44,000 in management fees, based on
the management  fees that would have been payable on rental income  generated in
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to the amount prepaid.

     During the three and nine months  ended  September  30,  1996,  the Company
incurred $12,000 and $53,000,  respectively,  in interest expense on its line of
credit  facility.  No such expense was incurred  during the same periods in 1995
since the Company did not have a credit facility.

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

     Cash flows from operating activities ($4,867,000 in 1996) and cash reserves
were sufficient to meet all current obligations and distributions of the Company
during the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

     During 1996, the Company incurred  approximately  $225,000 in capital costs
related to the expansion of the facility located in Los Angeles, California.

     In December  1995,  the  Company  obtained an  unsecured  revolving  credit
facility  with a bank  for  borrowings  up to  $2,500,000  for  working  capital
purposes and to repurchase the Company's  stock.  Outstanding  borrowings on the
credit  facility,  at the Company's  option,  bear interest at either the bank's
prime rate plus .25% (8.50% at September 30, 1996) or the bank's LIBOR rate plus
2.25% (7.875% at September 30, 1996).  Interest is payable monthly.  On December
31, 1999, all unpaid principal and accrued  interest is due and payable.  During
the nine months  ended  September  30,  1996,  the Company  borrowed  and repaid
$1,450,000.  At September  30,  1996,  there was no  outstanding  balance on the
credit facility. In October 1996, the Company borrowed an additional $375,000 on
its line of credit  facility.  The  Company  is  subject  to  certain  covenants
including  cash flow  coverages and dividend  restrictions.  As of September 30,
1996, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the credit facility.

     The Company's  Board of Directors has authorized the Company to purchase up
to 800,000  shares of Series A common  stock.  As of  September  30,  1996,  the
Company had repurchased 710,851 shares of Series A common stock, of which 93,500
were purchased in 1996.

     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 $1,517,000.

     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 nine months ended September 30, 1996
and 1995 was $4,573,000 and $4,659,000,  respectively.  FFO for the three months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was $1,599,000 and  $1,649,000,  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

                                       9
<PAGE>

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.

ITEMS 1 through 4 are inapplicable.


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

     In August  1996,  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,  $19.00 in cash,  subject to reduction as described below or (ii)
     that number (subject to rounding) of shares of PSI common stock  determined
     by dividing $19.00, 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 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  $19.00  per  share of the  Company's
     common stock series A, which amount represents the interest of the Series A
     Shareholders  in the market value of the  Company's  real estate  assets at
     June 30, 1996 (based on an  independent  appraisal) and the interest of the
     Series A Shareholders  in the estimated net asset value of its other assets
     at December 31, 1996. 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  $19.00  per  share.  Upon  the  merger,  each  share of the
     Company's  common  stock  series B, common  stock series C and common stock
     series D would be converted  into the right to receive $11.66 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, C and D as of the date of the  merger  exceeds  $11.66 per
     share and (ii) the estimated  Required REIT  Distributions  attributable to
     the  Company's  common stock series B of $0.70 per share.  The common stock
     series A, B, C and D of the Company  held by PSI will be  cancelled  in the
     merger. The merger is conditioned on, among other requirements, approval by
     the Company's  shareholders.  It is expected that any merger would close in
     December 1996. PSI is the Company's  mini-warehouse operator and owns 28.2%
     of the total combined  shares of the Company's  common stock series A, B, C
     and D.
