NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

|1. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION
|-- | ---------------------

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Sovran Acquisition Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2005.

|2. | ORGANIZATION
|-- | ------------



Sovran Acquisition Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership") is the entity through which Sovran Self Storage, Inc. (the "Company"), a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT"), conducts substantially all of its business and owns substantially all of its assets.  On June 26, 1995, the Company commenced operations, through the Operating Partnership, effective with the completion of its initial public offering of 5,890,000 shares. At June 30, 2005 the Operating Partnership owned and/or managed 279 self-storage properties under the "Uncle Bob's Self Storage" registered trade name in 21 states.



As of June 30, 2005, the Company was a 97.1% economic owner of the Operating Partnership and controls it through Sovran Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in Delaware and the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership (this structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT or "UPREIT").  The board of directors of Holdings, the members of which are also members of the Board of Directors of the Company, manages the affairs of the Operating Partnership by directing the affairs of Holdings.  The Company's limited partner and indirect general partner interests in the Operating Partnership entitle it to share in cash distributions from, and in the profits and losses of, the Operating Partnership in proportion to its ownership interest therein and entitle the Company to vote on all matters requiring a vote of the limited partners.



The other limited partners of the Operating Partnership are persons who contributed their direct or indirect interests in certain self-storage properties to the Operating Partnership.  The Operating Partnership is obligated to redeem each unit of limited partnership ("Unit") at the request of the holder thereof for cash equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock ("Common Shares") at the time of such redemption, provided that the Company at its option may elect to acquire any Unit presented for redemption for one Common Share or cash.  The Company presently anticipates that it will elect to issue Common Shares to acquire Units presented for redemption, rather than paying cash.  With each such redemption the Company's percentage ownership interest in the Operating Partnership will increase.  In addition, whenever the Company issues Common Shares, the Company is obligated to contribute any net proceeds

therefrom to the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership is obligated to issue an equivalent number of Units to the Company.  Such limited partners' redemption rights are reflected in "limited partners' capital interest" in the accompanying balance sheets at the cash redemption amount at the balance sheet date.  Capital activity with regard to such limited partners' redemption rights is reflected in the accompanying statements of partners' capital.



|3. | STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
|-- | ------------------------



On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in Statement 123(R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123.  However, Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.  Statement 123(R) must be adopted no later than January 1, 2006. Early adoption will be permitted in periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued.  The Operating Partnership expects to adopt Statement 123(R) on January 1, 2006.



As permitted by Statement 123, through the second quarter of 2005 and previous years the Operating Partnership accounted for share-based payments to employees using Opinion 25's intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognized no compensation cost for employee stock options when the stock option price at the grant date is equal to or greater than the fair market value of the stock at that date.  Accordingly, the adoption of Statement 123(R)'s fair value method will have an impact on the Operating Partnership's result of operations, although it will have no impact on the Operating Partnership's overall financial position. The impact of adoption of Statement 123(R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future.  However, had the Operating Partnership adopted Statement 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of Statement 123 as described below:

During the first six months of 2005, the Operating Partnership acquired eight storage facilities for $45.6 million.  Substantially all of the purchase price of these facilities was allocated to land ($8.9 million), building ($36.1 million) and equipment ($0.6 million) and the operating results of the acquired facilities have been included in the Operating Partnership's operations since their respective acquisition dates.



|5. | DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
|-- | -----------------------

During 2004, the Operating Partnership sold five non-strategic storage facilities located in Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Ohio, and South Carolina for net cash proceeds of $11.7 million.  The operations of these five facilities and the gain on sale are reported as discontinued operations in 2004.  The following is a summary of the amounts reported as discontinued operations:

|6. | UNSECURED LINE OF CREDIT AND TERM NOTES
|-- | ---------------------------------------

On September 4, 2003, the Operating Partnership entered into agreements relating to new unsecured credit arrangements, and received funds under those arrangements.  In December 2004, the agreements were amended to increase the line of credit availability from $75 million to $100million (expandable to $200 million), reduce the interest rate from LIBOR plus 1.375% to

- 8 -

<PAGE>

LIBOR plus 0.90%, and increase the maturity by one year to September 2007.  The line of credit requires a facility fee of 0.20%.  The amendment also reduced the interest rate on the $100 million term note from LIBOR plus 1.50% to LIBOR plus 1.20%, and extended the maturity by one year to September 2009.  The Operating Partnership also maintains a $80 million term note maturing September 2013 bearing interest at a fixed rate of 6.26% and a $20 million term note maturing September 2013 bearing interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.5%.  The weighted average interest rate at June 30, 2005 on the Operating Partnership's line of credit before the effect of interest rate swaps was approximately 4.1%.  At June 30, 2005, there was $29 million available on the revolving line of credit excluding the amount available on the expansion feature.



The Operating Partnership's interest rate swaps qualify and are designated as hedges of the amount of future cash flows related to interest payments on variable rate debt.  Therefore, the interest rate swaps are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value and the related gains or losses are deferred in shareholders' equity as Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss ("AOCL").  These deferred gains and losses are amortized into interest expense during the period or periods in which the related interest payments affect earnings.  However, to the extent that the interest rate swaps are not perfectly effective in offsetting the change in value of the interest payments being hedged, the ineffective portion of these contracts is recognized in earnings immediately.  Ineffectiveness was immaterial in 2005 and 2004.



The Operating Partnership has entered into interest rate swap agreements, one in March 2001 for $50 million and two in September 2001 for $50 million and $30 million, to effectively convert a total of $130 million of variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt.  One of the $50 million interest rate swap agreements matures in November 2005, the other matures in October 2006, and the $30 million swap agreement matures in September 2008.  On April 29, 2005, the Operating Partnership entered into two $50 million forward start interest rate swap agreements.  One of the $50 million agreements is effective November 14, 2005 and matures September 1, 2009.  The other agreement is effective October 10, 2006 and matures September 1, 2009.



Based on current interest rates, the Operating Partnership estimates that payments under the interest rate swaps will be approximately $3.0 million in 2005.  Payments made under the interest rate swap agreements will be reclassified to interest expense as settlements occur.  The fair value of the swap agreements including accrued interest was a liability of $2.7 million at June 30, 2005.



The table below summarizes the Operating Partnership's debt obligations and interest rate derivatives at June 30, 2005.  The estimated fair value of financial instruments is subjective in nature and is dependent on a number of important assumptions, including discount rates and relevant comparable market information associated with each financial instrument. The fair value of the fixed rate term note and mortgage note were estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.  The use of different market assumptions and estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the reported estimated fair value amounts. Accordingly, the estimates presented below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Operating Partnership would realize in a current market exchange.

|7. | MORTGAGES PAYABLE
|-- | -----------------

In February 2002, the consolidated joint venture (Locke Sovran II, LLC) entered into a mortgage note of $48 million.  The note is secured by the 27 properties owned by the joint venture with a carrying value of $73.3 million at June 30, 2005.  The 10-year note bears interest at 7.19%.



The Operating Partnership assumed a 7.25% mortgage note in connection with the acquisition of a storage facility in June 2005.  The mortgage was recorded at its fair value of $3.9 million based upon the estimated market rate of 5.4% as compared to the actual outstanding balance of $3.6 million.  The premium of approximately $0.3 million over the principal balance of the mortgage payable will be amortized over the remaining term of the mortgage based on the effective interest method.  The note is secured by the one property with a carrying value of $6.1 million at June 30, 2005.



|8. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
|-- | -----------------------------



The Operating Partnership's current practice is to conduct environmental investigations in connection with property acquisitions. At this time, the Operating Partnership is not aware of any environmental contamination of any of its facilities that individually or in the aggregate would be material to the Operating Partnership's overall business, financial condition, or results of operations.



At June 30, 2005, the Operating Partnership was in negotiations to acquire four stores for approximately $11.5 million.  The four self storage facilities were purchased in July 2005.



|9. | COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
|-- | --------------------



Total comprehensive income consisting of net income and the change in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements was $17.7 million and $19.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.



|10. | INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES
|--- | ----------------------------



Investment in joint ventures includes an ownership interest in Locke Sovran I, LLC, which owns 11 self-storage facilities throughout the United States, and an ownership interest in Iskalo Office

<PAGE>

Holdings, LLC, which owns the building that houses the Operating Partnership's headquarters and other tenants.



In December 2000, the Operating Partnership contributed seven self-storage properties to Locke Sovran I, LLC with a fair market value of $19.8 million, in exchange for a $15 million one year note receivable bearing interest at LIBOR plus 1.75% which was repaid in 2001, and a 45% interest in Locke Sovran I, LLC.



The Operating Partnership also has a 49% ownership interest in Iskalo Office Holdings, LLC at June 30, 2005.  During 2004, Iskalo Office Holdings obtained long-term financing and used the proceeds to repay the note payable to the Operating Partnership of $1.1 million.  The Operating Partnership's remaining investment includes a capital contribution of $49.



A summary of the unconsolidated joint ventures' financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2005 is as follows:

Potential common units from the possible conversion of the Series C Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock were excluded from the 2005 and 2004 diluted earnings per unit calculation because their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect on earnings per unit.



|Item 2. | Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.



When used in this discussion and elsewhere in this document, the words "intends," "believes," "expects," "anticipates," and similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the effect of competition from new self-storage facilities, which would cause rents and occupancy rates to decline; our ability to evaluate, finance and integrate acquired businesses into our existing business and operations; our ability to effectively compete in the self-storage industry; our existing indebtedness may mature in an unfavorable credit environment, preventing refinancing or forcing refinancing of the indebtedness on terms that are not as favorable as the existing terms; interest rates may fluctuate, impacting costs associated with our outstanding floating rate debt; our ability to successfully extend our truck move-in program for new customers and Dri-guard product roll-out; our reliance on our call center; our cash flow may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal, interest and dividends; and tax law changes that may change the taxability of future income.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



FOR THE PERIOD APRIL 1, 2005 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2005, COMPARED TO THE PERIOD APRIL 1, 2004 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2004



We recorded rental revenues of $32.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $3.6 million or 12.2% when compared to rental revenues of $29.3 million during the same period in 2004.  Of this increase, $1.5 million resulted from a 5% increase in rental revenues at the 262 core properties considered in same store sales (those properties included in the consolidated results of operations since April 1, 2004).  The increase in same store rental revenues was achieved primarily through a 4.6% rate increase and a slight occupancy increase.  The remaining $2.1 million increase in rental revenues resulted from the acquisition of eight stores during 2005 and from having the 2004 acquisitions included for a full quarter of operations.  Other income increased $0.2 million due to increased insurance sales and the additional incidental revenue generated by truck rentals.



Property operating and real estate tax expense increased $1.5 million or 14.8% in 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.  Of this increase, $0.8 million was incurred by the facilities acquired in 2005 and from having the 2004 acquisitions included for a full quarter of operations.  $0.7 million of the increase was due to increased insurance, truck, and maintenance expenses at the 262 core properties considered same stores.  We expect the trend of increasing operating costs to continue at a moderate pace.



General and administrative expenses increased $0.3 million or 12.5% from the second quarter of 2004 to the second quarter of 2005.  The increase primarily resulted from increased professional fees and the increased costs associated with operating the properties acquired in 2005 and 2004.



Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $4.9 million in 2004 to $5.4 million in 2005, primarily as a result of additional depreciation with respect to real estate assets acquired in 2005 and a full three months of depreciation on 2004 acquisitions.



Income from operations increased from $12.5 million in 2004 to $13.9 million in 2005 as a result of the net effect of the aforementioned items.



Interest expense increased from $4.3 million in 2004 to $4.8 million in 2005 as a result of additional borrowings under our line of credit to purchase eight stores in 2005 and the ten stores in 2004.

During 2004, the Operating Partnership sold five non-strategic storage facilities.  The operations of these facilities and the gain on sale are reported as discontinued operations in 2004.  No facilities were sold in the first six months of 2005.



Preferred unit distributions have decreased due to the redemption of all 1,200,000 outstanding units of our 9.85% Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock in August 2004 and the conversion of 400,000 units of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock to common units in April 2004.



FOR THE PERIOD JANUARY 1, 2005 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2005, COMPARED TO THE PERIOD JANUARY 1, 2004 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2004

<PAGE>

We recorded rental revenues of $64.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $7.0 million or 12.3% when compared to rental revenues of $57.1 million during the same period in 2004.  Of this increase, $3.0 million resulted from a 5% increase in rental revenues at the 261 core properties considered in same store sales (those properties included in the consolidated results of operations since January 1, 2004).  The increase in same store rental revenues was achieved primarily through a 4% rate increase and a slight occupancy increase.  The remaining $4.0 million increase in rental revenues resulted from the acquisition of eight stores during 2005 and from having the 2004 acquisitions included for a full six months of operations.  Other income increased $0.4 million due to increased insurance sales and the additional incidental revenue generated by truck rentals.



Property operating and real estate tax expense increased $2.9 million or 14.1% in 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.  Of this increase, $1.7 million was incurred by the facilities acquired in 2005 and from having the 2004 acquisitions included for a full six months of operations.  $1.2 million of the increase was due to increased snow plowing, insurance, truck, and maintenance expenses at the 261 core properties considered same stores.



General and administrative expenses increased $0.8 million or 16.0% from the first six months of 2004 compared to the first six months of 2005.  The increase primarily resulted from increased professional fees and the increased costs associated with operating the properties acquired in 2005 and 2004.



Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $9.6 million in 2004 to $10.6 million in 2005, primarily as a result of additional depreciation with respect to real estate assets acquired in 2005 and a full six months of depreciation on 2004 acquisitions.



Income from operations increased from $23.7 million in 2004 to $26.4 million in 2005 as a result of the net effect of the aforementioned items.



Interest expense increased from $8.4 million in 2004 to $9.3 million in 2005 as a result of additional borrowings under our line of credit to purchase eight stores in 2005 and the ten stores in 2004.

During 2004, the Operating Partnership sold five non-strategic storage facilities.  The operations of these facilities and the gain on sale are reported as discontinued operations in 2004.  No facilities were sold in the first six months of 2005.



Preferred unit distributions have decreased due to the redemption of all 1,200,000 outstanding units of our 9.85% Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock in August 2004 and the conversion of 400,000 units of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock to common units in April 2004.



FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS



We believe that Funds from Operations ("FFO") provides relevant and meaningful information about our operating performance that is necessary, along with net earnings and cash flows, for an understanding of our operating results.  FFO adds back historical cost depreciation, which assumes the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably in the future. In fact, real estate asset values increase or decrease with market conditions. Consequently, we believe FFO is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating our operating performance by disregarding (or adding back) historical cost depreciation.

- 14 -

<PAGE>

FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. ("NAREIT") as net income computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding gains or losses on sales of properties, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments to record unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures on the same basis.  We believe that to further understand our performance, FFO should be compared with our reported net income and cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements.



Our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently.  FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to net cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, or as an indicator of our ability to make cash distributions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our ability to retain cash flow is limited because the Company operates as a REIT.  In order to maintain its REIT status, a substantial portion of the Company's operating cash flow must be used to pay distributions to our unitholders.  We believe that our internally generated net cash provided by operating activities will continue to be sufficient to fund ongoing operations, capital improvements, distributions and debt service requirements through September 2007, at which time our revolving line of credit matures unless renewed at our option for one additional year.



Cash flows from operating activities were $31.1 million and $29.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  The increase is primarily attributable to increased net income from continuing operations.

On September 4, 2003, we entered into agreements relating to new unsecured credit arrangements, and received funds under those arrangements.  In December 2004, the agreements were amended by increasing the line of credit availability from $75 million to $100 million (expandable to $200 million), reducing the interest rate from LIBOR plus 1.375% to LIBOR plus 0.90%, increasing the maturity by one year to September 2007, and retaining a one year extension option.  The amendment also reduced the interest rate on the $100 million term note from LIBOR plus 1.50% to LIBOR plus 1.20%, and extended the maturity by one year to September 2009.  In addition, the line of credit requires a facility fee of 0.20%.  At June 30, 2005, there was $29 million available on our line of credit.





In 2003, in addition to the line of credit and term note mentioned above, we also issued a $80 million unsecured term note bearing interest at a fixed rate of 6.26% and a $20 million unsecured term note bearing interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.50%.  The term notes mature September 2013.  In May 2005, these term notes were amended to modify certain of the financial 
covenants in the existing notes to be consistent with the financial covenants and related defined terms contained in the unsecured credit arrangements.



The line of credit facility and term notes currently have investment grade ratings from Standard and Poor's (BBB-) and Fitch (BBB-).

Our line of credit and term notes require us to meet certain financial covenants, including prescribed leverage, fixed charge coverage, minimum net worth, limitations on additional indebtedness and limitations on dividend payouts. As of June 30, 2005, we were in compliance with all covenants.



In February 2002, the consolidated joint venture (Locke Sovran II, LLC) entered into a mortgage note of $48 million.  The note is secured by the 27 properties owned by the joint venture with a carrying value of $73.3 million at June 30, 2005.  The 10-year note bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.19%.  We also assumed a 7.25% mortgage note in connection with the acquisition of a storage facility in June 2005.  The mortgage was recorded at its fair value of $3.9 million based upon the estimated market rate of 5.4% rather than the actual outstanding balance of $3.6 million.



In July 1999, we issued 1,200,000 shares of 9.85% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock.  We redeemed all outstanding shares of our Series B Preferred Stock on August 2, 2004 at a total cost of $30 million plus accrued but unpaid dividends on those shares.



On July 3, 2002, we entered into an agreement providing for the issuance of 2,800,000 shares of 8.375% Series C Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 379,166 shares of common stock at $32.60 per share in a privately negotiated transaction.  We immediately issued 1,600,000 shares of the Series C Preferred and issued the remaining 1,200,000 shares on November 27, 2002.  The offering price was $25.00 per share and the net proceeds of $67.9 million were used to reduce indebtedness that was incurred in the June 2002 acquisition of seven self-storage properties and to repay a portion of our borrowings under the line of credit.  On August 4, 2004, we issued 306,748 shares of our common stock in connection with a written notice from one of the holders of our Series C Preferred Stock requesting the conversion of 400,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock into common stock.  As a result of this conversion, all such 400,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were retired leaving 2,400,000 shares outstanding at June 30, 2005.

- 16 -



<PAGE>

During 2004 and 2005, we did not acquire any shares of our common stock via the Share Repurchase Program authorized by the Board of Directors.  From the inception of the Share Repurchase Program through June 30, 2005, we have reacquired a total of 1,171,886 shares pursuant to this program.  From time to time, subject to market price and certain loan covenants, we may reacquire additional shares.

During 2005, we issued approximately 252,000 shares via our Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan and Employee Stock Option Plan.  We realized $8.3 million from the sale of such shares.  We expect to issue shares when our share price and capital needs warrant such issuance.  Also during 2005, a holder of the Series C Preferred Stock exercised a warrant for 195,000 shares of common stock at $32.60 resulting in net proceeds to us of $6.4 million.



Future acquisitions, share repurchases and repayment of the credit line are expected to be funded with the revolving line of credit, issuance of secured or unsecured term notes, issuance of common or preferred stock, sale of properties, private placement solicitation of joint venture equity and other sources of capital.



ACQUISITION OF PROPERTIES



During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we used operating cash flow and borrowings pursuant to the line of credit to acquire eight properties in Alabama, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, and Texas comprising 0.6 million square feet from unaffiliated storage operators for $45.6 million.



FUTURE ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT PLANS



Our external growth strategy is to increase the number of facilities we own by acquiring suitable facilities in markets in which we already have operations, or to expand in new markets by acquiring several facilities at once in those new markets.



At June 30, 2005, we were in negotiations to acquire four stores in San Antonio, Austin, and Houston, Texas for approximately $11.5 million.  These stores were purchased in July 2005.



DISPOSITION OF PROPERTIES



During 2004, as part of an asset management program, we sold five non-strategic storage facilities located in Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Ohio, and South Carolina to unaffiliated parties for $11.7 million resulting in a net gain of $1.1 million.

DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS OF THE COMPANY AND IMPACT ON THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP



As a REIT, the Company is not required to pay federal income tax on income that it distributes
to its shareholders, provided that the amount distributed is equal to at least 90% of its taxable income.  These distributions must be made in the year to which they relate, or in the following year if declared before the Company files its federal income tax return, and if it is paid before the first regular dividend of the following year.  The Company's source of funds for such distributions is solely and directly from the Operating Partnership.

- 17 -

<PAGE>

As a REIT, the Company must derive at least 95% of its total gross income from income related to real property, interest and dividends. In the first six months of 2005, the Company's percentage of revenue from such sources exceeded 96%, thereby passing the 95% test, and no special measures are expected to be required to enable the Company to maintain its REIT designation.



UMBRELLA PARTNERSHIP REIT



We were formed as an Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment Trust ("UPREIT") and, as such, have the ability to issue Operating Partnership ("OP") Units in exchange for properties sold by independent owners.  By utilizing such OP Units as currency in facility acquisitions, we may obtain more favorable pricing or terms due to the seller's ability to partially defer their income tax liability.  As of June 30, 2005, 494,269 Units are outstanding that were issued in exchange for property at the request of the sellers.

INTEREST RATE RISK



We have entered into interest rate swap agreements in order to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in interest rates on our floating rate debt.  At June 30, 2005, we have five outstanding interest rate swap agreements.  The first, entered into in March 2001, effectively fixes the LIBOR base rate at 5.36% through November 2005 on $50 million notional amount.  The second, entered in September 2001, effectively fixes the LIBOR base rate at 4.485% through October 2006 on another $50 million notional amount.  The third, also entered in September 2001, effectively fixes the LIBOR base rate at 4.805% through September 2008 on $30 million notional amount.  We have an unsecured credit facility in place through September 2007 enabling us to borrow funds at rates of LIBOR plus 0.9%, an unsecured term note at rates of LIBOR plus 1.2% through September 2009, and an unsecured term note at rates of LIBOR plus 1.5% through September 2013.  As a result of the above-described interest rate swap agreements, we have fixed our interest rate through November 2005 on $50 million at 5.45%, through October 2006 on $50 million at 5.685%, and through September 2008 on $30 million at 6.005%.  Upon renewal or replacement of the credit facility, our total interest may change dependent on the terms we negotiate with the lenders; however, the LIBOR base rates have been contractually fixed on $130 million of our debt through the interest rate swap termination dates.



On April 29, 2005, we entered into two additional forward start interest rate swap agreements.  The first swap effectively fixes the LIBOR base rate at 4.39% beginning November 14, 2005 through September 1, 2009 on $50 million notional amount of indebtedness.  The second swap effectively fixes the LIBOR base rate at 4.48% beginning October 10, 2006 through September 1, 2009 on $50 million notional amount indebtedness.



As a result of the above-described interest rate swap agreements, we have fixed our interest rate through November 2005 on $50 million at 5.45%, through October 2006 on $50 million at 5.685%, and through September 2008 on $30 million at 6.005%.  In addition, as a result of the April 2005 forward start swap agreements we have fixed our interest rate beginning November 2005 through September 2009 on $50 million at 5.59%, and beginning October 2006 through September 2009 on $50 million at 5.68%.  Upon renewal or replacement of the credit facility, our total interest may change dependent on the terms we negotiate with the lenders; however, the LIBOR base rates have been contractually fixed on $130 million of our debt through the interest rate swap termination dates.





- 18 -

<PAGE>

Through September 2008, $210 million of our $271 million of unsecured debt is on a fixed rate basis after taking into account the interest rate swaps noted above.  Based on our outstanding debt of $271 million at June 30, 2005, a 1% increase in interest rates would have a $610,000 effect on our interest expense annually.



INFLATION



We do not believe that inflation has had or will have a direct effect on our operations. Substantially all of the leases at the facilities are on a month-to-month basis which provides us with the opportunity to increase rental rates as each lease matures.



SEASONALITY



Our revenues typically have been higher in the third and fourth quarters of a fiscal year, primarily because we increase rental rates on most of our storage units at the beginning of May and because self-storage facilities tend to experience greater occupancy during the late spring, summer and early fall months due to the greater incidence of residential moves during these periods. However, we believe that our tenant mix, diverse geographic locations, rental structure and expense structure provide adequate protection against undue fluctuations in cash flows and net revenues during off-peak seasons. Thus, we do not expect seasonality to affect materially distributions to shareholders.



RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT



On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in Statement 123(R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123.  However, Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.  Statement 123(R) must be adopted no later than January 1, 2006. Early adoption will be permitted in periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued.  We expect to adopt Statement 123(R) on January 1, 2006.



As permitted by Statement 123, the Operating Partnership currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using Opinion 25's intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognizes no compensation cost for employee stock options.  Accordingly, the adoption of Statement 123(R)'s fair value method will have an impact on our result of operations, although it will have no impact on our overall financial position. The impact of adoption of Statement 123(R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future.  However, had we adopted Statement 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of Statement 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements.



In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations. Interpretation 47 clarifies that the term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in FASB Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or)

- 19 -

<PAGE>

method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. However, the obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and (or) method of settlement.  Interpretation 47 requires that the uncertainty about the timing and (or) method of settlement of a conditional asset retirement obligation should be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. Interpretation 47 is effective no later than for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005 (December 31, 2005 for the Operating Partnership). The application of Interpretation 47 does not have a material impact on the Operating Partnership's financial position or results of operations.

Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at June 30, 2005.  There have not been changes in the Operating Partnership's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls during the quarter ended June 30, 2005.



Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting



There have not been any changes in the Operating Partnership's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under The Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during the Operating Partnership's most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Operating Partnership's internal control over financial reporting.
