ITEM 2: ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

Storage USA, Inc., (the "Company") had, for the period January 1, 1997 through
May 27,1997, consummated the acquisition of 31 self-storage facilities (the
"Acquired Facilities") through SUSA Partnership, L.P. ("Partnership"), a limited
partnership in which the Company is the general partner and owns approximately a
93% interest. The 31 facilities totaling approximately 1,675,000 square feet are
located in 13 states and were purchased for approximately $70,293,000.

The Company managed, for a fee, the one facility acquired on May 15, 1996
(indicated with a *). This facility was acquired with cash and units of limited
partnership interest in the Partnership ("Units"). The acquisition of the
Acquired Facilities was funded by cash generated from operations, the issuance
of Units, the issuance of approximately 2.5 million shares of common stock for
approximately $90 million, the assumption of certain mortgages payable, and
borrowings under the Company's lines of credit with The First National Bank of
Chicago and First Tennessee Bank. Each of the facilities acquired was used by
the seller as a self-storage facility prior to its acquisition by the Company,
and the Company intends to continue the use of all the Acquired Facilities for
that purpose. The Company's management determined the contract price of each
facility through arms-length negotiations, after taking into consideration such
factors as: the age and condition of the facility; the projected amounts of
maintenance costs; anticipated capital improvements; the facility's current
revenues; comparable facilities competing in the applicable market; market
rental rates for comparable facilities; the occupancy rate of the facility; and
the estimated amount of taxes, utility costs, personnel costs, and other
anticipated expenses.

After reasonable inquiry, the Company is not aware of any material factors
relating to the properties that would cause the historical financial information
provided in item 7 not to be necessarily indicative of future operating results
for the applicable facilities.

The following provides certain additional information concerning the 31
facilities acquired:

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors
and Shareholders of
Storage USA, Inc.

                        We have audited the accompanying Historical Summaries of
Combined Gross Revenue and Direct Operating Expenses (the "Historical
Summaries") for certain self-storage facilities (the "Group 1 Facilities")
described in Note 1 to the Historical Summaries for the year ended December 31,
1996. These Historical Summaries are the responsibility of the management of the
Group 1 Facilities. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
Historical Summaries based on our audits.

                        We conducted our audits in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Historical Summaries
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Summaries. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and the significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the Historical Summaries. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

                        The accompanying Historical Summaries were prepared for
the purposes of complying with the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (for inclusion in the Form 8-K of Storage USA, Inc.) as
described in Note 1 to the Historical Summaries, and are not intended to be a
complete presentation of the Group 1 Facilities' revenues and expenses.

                        In our opinion, based on our audits, the Historical
Summaries referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
combined gross revenue and direct operating expenses described in Note 1 of the
Group 1 Facilities for the year ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Unaudited Historical Summaries of Combined Gross Revenue and Direct
Operating Expenses (the "Historical Summaries") relate to the operation of the
following self-storage facilities ("Group 2 Facilities") which have been
acquired or are pending acquisitions by the Partnership.

                       Group 2 Facilities - Locations

Marion, IN                    East Lake, OH                 Memphis, TN

Kent, Ohio                    Memphis, TN


The Group 2 Facilities, with a total acquisition cost of $25,875 are unaudited
as a result of the Partnership's inability to access underlying accounting data.
The Historical Summaries have been prepared pursuant to the Rules and
Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for real estate operations
to be acquired. The Historical Summaries are not representative of the actual
operations for the periods presented, as certain expenses which may not be
comparable to the expenses expected to be incurred by the Company in the future
operations of the Group 2 Facilities have been excluded. Expenses excluded
consist of management fees, interest, depreciation and amortization,
professional fees and other indirect costs not directly related to the future
operations of the Group 2 Facilities. Rental Income is recognized when due from
occupants. Expenses are recognized on the accrual basis.

2.  INTERIM PERIODS

The unaudited interim Historical Summaries have been prepared on a basis
consistent with the unaudited annual Historical Summaries. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation are of
a normal recurring nature and have been included. Operating results for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of future
operating results.

               PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet as of March
31, 1997, and the unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of
Operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997, and for the year ended
December 31, 1996 have been prepared to reflect the acquisition of the Group 1
and the Group 2 Facilities as if the Group 1 and the Group 2 Facilities and
other previously reported transactions had been consummated at the beginning of
the respective periods shown. The Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial
Information is based on the historical financial statements included in the
Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 and
the pro forma financial information set forth in the footnotes to the financial
statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1996, and should be read in conjunction with those financial
statements and the notes thereto. The Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet
was prepared as if the Group 1 and the Group 2 Facilities were purchased on
March 31, 1997. The Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of Operations were
prepared as if the Group 1 and the Group 2 Facilities were purchased at the
beginning of the respective periods reflected thereon. The Combined Condensed
Pro Forma Financial Information is not necessarily indicative of the financial
position or results of operations which actually would have occurred if such
transactions had been consummated on the dates described, nor does it purport to
represent the Company's future financial position or results of operations.
