 Item 2: Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Storage USA, Inc., (the "Company") consummated during the period February 19,
1998 through March 10, 1998, the acquisition of seven self-storage facilities
(the "Acquired Facilities") through SUSA Partnership, L.P. (the "Partnership"),
a limited partnership in which the Company is the sole general partner and owns
approximately a 91% interest as of the date of this report. The Acquired
Facilities contain approximately 436,531 square feet, are located in three
states and were purchased for approximately $22,950,000 in aggregate
consideration.

The acquisition of the Acquired Facilities was funded by cash generated from
operations, borrowings under the Company's lines of credit with The First
National Bank of Chicago and First Tennessee, and the assumption of two
mortgages. Each of the Acquired Facilities was used by the seller as a
self-storage facility prior to its acquisition by the Company, and the Company
intends to continue such use of all the Acquired Facilities. 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 amount 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
associated with the facility. Other than changes in these factors, the Company,
after reasonable inquiry, 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 Acquired
Facilities:

In addition, the Company has five facilities under contract (the "Acquisition
Facilities") with an anticipated closing date of March 30, 1998. These
facilities, containing approximately 285,671 square feet, are located in New
York State and have an estimated cost of $36,965,000. The acquisition of the
Acquisition Facilities will be funded by cash generated from operations,
borrowings under the Company's lines of credit with The First National Bank of
Chicago and First Tennessee, and units of limited partnership interest in the
Partnership, ("Units"). The following provides certain additional information

                       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 "Acquired and Acquisition
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 Acquired and Acquisition 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/A of Storage USA, Inc.) as
described in Note 1 to the Historical Summaries, and are not intended to be a
complete presentation of the Acquired and Acquisition 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 Acquired and
Acquisition Facilities for the year ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

         The Historical Summaries for the Acquired and Acquisition Facilities
with a total acquisition cost of $60,612 have been prepared pursuant to the
Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for real estate
operations 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 Acquired and Acquisition 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 Acquired and Acquisition Facilities. Rental income
is recognized when due from occupants. Expenses are recognized on the accrual
basis.

2.  Interim Periods

         The unaudited interim Historical Summaries for the Acquired and
Acquisition Facilities have been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited
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 nine months ended September 30, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of future operating results.

               PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         The following unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet was
prepared as if the Acquired and Acquisition Facilities were purchased on
September 30, 1997. The unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Statements of
Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, and for the year ended
December 31, 1996, have been prepared to reflect the acquisition of the Acquired
and Acquisition Facilities as if the Acquired and Acquisition 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 September 30,
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 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.
