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

3.   The results of operations  for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996
     are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

4.   Certain  prior  year  amounts  have been  restated  in order to  conform to
     current year presentation.

5.   In 1995,  the Company  prepaid  eight months of 1996  management  fees at a
     total cost of $176,000.  The Company expensed  $132,000 of the 1996 prepaid
     management  fees for the six months  ended June 30,  1996.  The  balance of
     prepaid  management  fees,  $44,000,  is  included  in other  assets in the
     Balance Sheet at June 30, 1996.

6.   In February  1994,  the Company  purchased  11,700  common shares of Public
     Storage,  Inc.,  a publicly  traded  real  estate  investment  trust and an
     affiliate  of  the  Company,  for  $173,000.  The  market  value  of  these
     securities at June 30, 1996 was $241,000. The Company recognized $3,000 and
     $6,000 in  dividends  for the three and six  months  ended  June 30,  1996,
     respectively.

7.   In February  1996,  the  Company  obtained an  unsecured  revolving  credit
     facility with a bank for  borrowings up to $1,000,000  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 or the bank's LIBOR Rate plus 2.25%.  Interest is payable
     monthly and on January 31, 1999, all unpaid  principal and accrued interest
     is due and payable.  At June 30, 1996, there was no outstanding  balance on
     the credit  facility.  As of June 30, 1996,  the Company was in  compliance
     with the covenants of the credit facility.

                      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 six months  ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
was  $1,160,000  and  $1,002,000,  respectively,  representing  an  increase  of
$158,000 or 16%.  Net income for the three  months  ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
was $659,000 and $530,000, respectively, representing an increase of $129,000 or
24%.  These  increases  are  primarily  the result of  increases in property net
operating income (rental income less cost of operations, management fees paid to
affiliate and depreciation expense).

     Rental  income  for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1996  and  1995  was
$2,565,000 and $2,421,000, respectively, representing an increase of $144,000 or
6%.  Rental  income  for the  three  months  ended  June  30,  1996 and 1995 was
$1,305,000 and $1,234,000, respectively,  representing an increase of $71,000 or
6%. These increases are primarily  attributable to increased rental rates at all
of the Company's properties.

     The Company's  mini-warehouse  operations  had weighted  average  occupancy
levels of 93% for both the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.

     Cost  of  operations  (including  management  fees  paid to  affiliate  and
depreciation  expense)  for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1996 and 1995 was
stable. Cost of operations for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 was
$632,000 and $686,000,  respectively,  representing a decrease of $54,000 or 8%.
This  decrease is primarily  attributable  to a decrease in property tax expense
primarily  due to a one-time tax refund of $65,000  received with respect to the
Company's Hillside, New Jersey property during the second quarter of 1996.

     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 six
month  period  ended June 30,  1996,  the Company  expensed  $132,000 of prepaid
management  fees. The amount is shown as management fees paid to an affiliate in
the condensed  statement of income.  As a result of the prepayment,  the Company
saved  approximately  $22,000 in management  fees,  based on the management fees
that would have been payable on rental income  generated in the six months ended
June 30, 1996 compared to the amount prepaid.


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

     Cash flows from operating activities ($1,698,000 in 1996) and cash reserves
were sufficient to meet all current obligations and distributions of the Company
during the six months  ended June 30, 1996.  Management  expects cash flows from
operations  will  be  sufficient  to fund  capital  expenditures  and  quarterly
distributions.

     In February  1996,  the  Company  obtained an  unsecured  revolving  credit
facility  with a bank  for  borrowings  up to  $1,000,000  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 or the bank's LIBOR Rate plus 2.25%.  Interest is payable monthly and
on January  31,  1999,  all unpaid  principal  and  accrued  interest is due and
payable.  At June 30,  1996,  there was no  outstanding  balance  on the  credit
facility.  As of June 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 250,000 shares of Series A common stock. As of June 30, 1996, the Company had
repurchased  204,000 shares of Series A common stock, of which 7,600 shares were
purchased in the first quarter of 1996. No shares were repurchased in the second
quarter of 1996,  however,  share  repurchases  are  expected to continue in the
third quarter.

     In February  1994,  the Company  purchased  11,700  common shares of Public
Storage,  Inc., a publicly traded real estate  investment trust and an affiliate
of the Company,  for $173,000.  The market value of these securities at June 30,
1996 was $241,000. The Company recognized $3,000 and $6,000 in dividends for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively.

     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 1995, the Company's federal tax depreciation
was $494,000.


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 six months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995 was $1,600,000 and $1,430,000, respectively. FFO for the three months ended
June 30,  1996  and  1995 was  $880,000  and  $744,000,  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.
