                        a California Limited Partnership
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations:
----------------------

THREE MONTHS ENDED  SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED  SEPTEMBER
30, 1995:
 
     The Partnership's net income was $588,000 and $598,000 for the three months
ended  September  30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively,  representing  a decrease of
$10,000,  or 2%. This decrease was  primarily  due to increases in  depreciation
expense  and  minority  interest  in income for those  properties  held in joint
9venture  with Public  Storage,  Inc.  ("PSI"),  partially  offset by  increased
property operating results.

     Net property  income  (rental income less cost of operations and management
fees and excluding  depreciation)  for the three months ended September 30, 1996
increased $85,000 or 4%, as rental income increased $143,000 or 4%, and costs of
operations  (including  management  fees  and  excluding  depreciation  expense)
increased $58,000 or 5%, compared to the same period in 1995. These increase are
due to improved operations at both the Partnership's mini-warehouse and business
park facilities.

     Rental  income  for  the   Partnership's   mini-warehouse   operations  was
$2,858,000  compared to $2,739,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996
and 1995,  respectively,  representing  an  increase  of  $119,000,  or 4%. This
increase  was  primarily  attributable  to  increased  rental  rates and average
occupancy  levels.  The monthly  average  realized  rent per square foot for the
mini-warehouse  facilities  was $.62 compared to $.61 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The weighted average occupancy levels
at the  mini-warehouse  facilities  was 92% and 89% for the three  months  ended
September  30,  1996  and  1995,  respectively.  Cost of  operations  (including
management fees) for the mini-warehouses increased $64,000, or 7%, to $1,018,000
from  $954,000  for  the  three  months  ended  September  30,  1996  and  1995,
respectively.   This  increase  was  primarily   attributable  to  increases  in
advertising,  property  tax,  payroll,  and  repairs and  maintenance  expenses.
Accordingly,  for the  Partnership's  mini-warehouse  operations,  property  net
operating income increased $55,000, or 3%, from $1,785,000 to $1,840,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

     Rental  income for the  Partnership's  business park  operations  increased
$24,000,  or 5%, to $500,000 from $476,000 for the three months ended  September
30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  This increase was primarily  attributable  to
increased  rental  rates and average  occupancy  levels.  The  weighted  average
occupancy  levels at the business park  facilities  were 98% compared to 96% for
the three months ended  September 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  The monthly
average  realized rent per square foot for the business park facilities was $.56
compared  to $.54 for the  three  months  ended  September  30,  1996 and  1995,
respectively.  Cost of operations  (including  management fees) for the business
parks  decreased  $6,000,  or 8%, from $207,000 to $213,000 for the three months
ended  September  30,  1996  and  1995,  respectively.   Accordingly,   for  the
Partnership's business park facilities,  property net operating income increased
by  $30,000,  or 11%,  from  $263,000  to $293,000  for the three  months  ended
September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

     Depreciation and amortization increased $66,000 from $821,000 for the three
months ended  September  30, 1995 to $887,000 for the same period in 1996.  This
increase is principally  due to the  depreciation of capital  expenditures  made
during 1995 and 1996.

     Minority  interest  in  income  was  $633,000  for the three  months  ended
September   30,  1996  compared  to  $606,000  for  the  same  period  in  1995,
representing  an increase of $27,000,  or 4%.  This  increase is  primarily  the
result of  additional  income  allocated to the minority  interest from improved
operations at the Partnership's facilities which are owned jointly with PSI.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
1995:

     The  Partnership's  net income was  $1,739,000  and $1,721,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, representing an increase
of $18,000, or 1%. The increase was primarily due to increased operating results
at the  Partnership's  facilities  combined  with a decrease  in  administrative
expenses,  partially  offset by increases in  depreciation  expense and minority
interest in income for those properties held in joint venture with PSI.

     Net property  income  (rental income less cost of operations and management
fees and excluding  depreciation)  for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996
increased  $279,000 or 5%, as rental income increased  $392,000 or 4%, and costs
of operations  (including  management fees and excluding  depreciation  expense)
increased $113,000 or 3%, compared to the same period in 1995.

     Rental  income  for  the   Partnership's   mini-warehouse   operations  was
$8,333,000  compared to $8,011,000 for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996
and 1995,  respectively,  representing  an  increase  of  $322,000,  or 4%. This
increase  was  primarily  attributable  to  increased  rental  rates and average
occupancy  levels.  The weighted  average  occupancy levels at the business park
facilities were 90% compared to 88% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
and 1995,  respectively.  The monthly average  realized rent per square foot for
the  mini-warehouse  facilities  was $.61  compared  to $.60 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  Cost of operations (including
management  fees)  for  the  mini-warehouses   increased  $120,000,  or  4%,  to
$3,025,000  from  $2,905,000  for the nine months ended  September  30, 1996 and
1995,  respectively.  This increase was primarily  attributable  to increases in
property  tax,  advertising,   and  payroll  expenses.   Accordingly,   for  the
Partnership's mini-warehouse operations, property net operating income increased
$202,000,  or 4%,  from  $5,106,000  to  $5,308,000  for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

     Rental  income for the  Partnership's  business park  operations  increased
$70,000,  or 5%,  to  $1,488,000  from  $1,418,000  for the  nine  months  ended
September  30,  1996  and  1995,  respectively.   This  increase  was  primarily
attributable  to  increased  rental  rates and  average  occupancy  levels.  The
weighted  average  occupancy  levels at the business  park  facilities  were 98%
compared  to 97%  for the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996  and  1995,
respectively. The monthly average realized rent per square foot for the business
park  facilities  was $.56 compared to $.54 for the nine months ended  September
30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Cost of operations (including management fees)
for the business parks  decreased  $7,000,  or 1%, to $626,000 from $633,000 for
the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  Accordingly,
for the  Partnership's  business park facilities,  property net operating income
increased  by $77,000,  or 10%,  from  $785,000 to $862,000  for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

     Depreciation  and amortization  increased  $221,000 from $2,357,000 for the
nine months ended  September 30, 1995 to $2,578,000 for the same period in 1996.
This increase is principally  due to the  depreciation  of capital  expenditures
made during 1995 and 1996.

     Administrative expenses decreased $51,000 from $154,000 in 1995 to $103,000
in 1996.  This  decrease  is  principally  a result  of  non-recurring  expenses
incurred  during  1995  in  connection  with  environmental  assessments  of the
Partnership's facilities.

     Minority  interest in income was  $1,824,000 in 1996 compared to $1,728,000
in 1995, representing an increase of $96,000, or 6%. This increase was primarily
the result of improved  operations  at the  Partnership's  facilities  which are
owned jointly with PSI.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


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

     The  Partnership  has adequate  sources of cash to finance its  operations,
both on a short-term and long-term  basis,  primarily from internally  generated
cash from property operations and cash reserves.  Cash generated from operations
($6,080,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996) has been sufficient to
meet all current obligations of the Partnership.

     During  1996,  the  Partnership  anticipates  approximately  $2,226,000  of
capital  improvements (of which $611,000  represents PSI's joint venture share).
During 1995, the  Partnership's  property manager commenced a program to enhance
the  visual  appearance  of the  mini-warehouse  facilities  managed  by it.  In
addition,  several  of  the  Texas  properties  are  undergoing  major  property
enhancements,  which include the installation of climate control.  Total capital
improvements  were  $1,829,000  for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 of
which $1,315,000 represents the Partnership's share.

     The  Partnership  paid  distributions  to the limited and general  partners
totaling  $2,678,000  ($17.85 per unit) and $328,000,  respectively,  during the
first nine months of 1996. Future  distribution  rates may be adjusted to levels
which are supported by operating  cash flow after capital  improvements  and any
other necessary obligations.
