1.       The accompanying  unaudited  condensed  financial  statements have been

         Exchange  Commission.  Certain  information  and  footnote  disclosures
         normally included in financial  statements  prepared in accordance with
         generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
         pursuant to such rules and regulations,  although  management  believes
         that  the  disclosures  contained  herein  are  adequate  to  make  the
         information   presented  not  misleading.   These  unaudited  condensed
         financial  statements  should be read in conjunction with the financial
         statements and related notes appearing in the  Partnership's  Form 10-K
         for the year ended December 31, 1998.

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  Partnership's  financial
         position at March 31,  1999,  the results of  operations  for the three
         months  ended  March  31,  1999 and 1998 and cash  flows  for the three
         months then ended.

3.       The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1999 are
         not  necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for the full

         parks in which  PSI has a  significant  interest.  Included  among  the
         properties  transferred  were the  Joint  Venture's  business  parks in

                              PS PARTNERS VI, LTD.,
                        a California Limited Partnership
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
--------------------------

         Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of  Operations  contains  "forward  looking"  statements  that involve risks and
uncertainties  and are based upon a number of  assumptions.  Actual  results and
trends may differ  materially  depending  upon a number of factors.  Information
regarding these factors is contained in the Partnership's  Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998:

         The  Partnership's  net income was  $697,000 and $651,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively,  representing an increase of
$46,000,  or 7%. This increase was primarily due to the  Partnership's  share of
improved  property  operations  at the  real  estate  facilities  in  which  the
Partnership has an interest.

Property Operations
-------------------

         Rental  income  for  the  Partnership's   wholly-owned   mini-warehouse
properties  increased  $7,000,  or 5%, from  $138,000 to $145,000  for the three
months  ended  March  31,  1998  and  1999,  respectively.  Cost  of  operations
(including  management fees) increased $14,000,  or 23%, to $74,000 from $60,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  Accordingly,
for the  Partnership's  wholly-owned  mini-warehouse  properties,  property  net
operating  income  decreased  by $7,000,  or 9%, from $78,000 to $71,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively.

Equity in Earnings of Real Estate Entities
------------------------------------------

         Equity in earnings of real estate  entities  was  $656,000 in the three
months  ended March 31, 1999 as  compared  to $608,000  during the three  months
ended March 31, 1998,  representing an increase of $48,000,  or 8%. This was due
primarily to the Partnership's  share of improved operating results at the Joint
Venture's mini-warehouse properties.

                                       6

Depreciation and Amortization
-----------------------------

         Depreciation and amortization  increased $2,000, or 6%, from $34,000 to
$36,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999,  respectively.  This
increase was primarily  attributable to the depreciation of capital expenditures
made during 1998 and 1999.

SUPPLEMENTAL PROPERTY DATA
--------------------------

         Most of the Partnership's net income is from the Partnership's share of
the operating results of the Mini-Warehouse  Properties.  Therefore, in order to
evaluate the Partnership's  operating results,  the General Partners analyze the
operating performance of the Mini-Warehouse Properties.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998:

         Rental income for the Mini-Warehouse Properties was $3,116,000 compared
to $2,949,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,  respectively,
representing  an increase of $167,000,  or 6%. The increase in rental income was
primarily  attributable  to increased  rental rates and occupancy  levels at the
Mini-Warehouse Properties. The monthly average realized rent per square foot for
the  Mini-Warehouse  Properties  was $.67  compared to $.64 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  The  weighted  average  occupancy
levels at the Mini-Warehouse  Properties increased from 91% to 92% for the three
months  ended  March  31,  1998  and  1999,  respectively.  Cost  of  operations
(including  management  fees)  increased  $100,000,  or 9%, to  $1,246,000  from
$1,146,000  for the three  months  ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.
This  increase  was  primarily  attributable  to increases  in  advertising  and
property tax expenses.  Accordingly, for the Mini-Warehouse Properties, property
net operating income increased by $68,000,  or 4%, from $1,803,000 to $1,871,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively.

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
and  distributions  from real estate  entities  ($1,068,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999) has been sufficient to meet all current obligations of the
Partnership.

                                       7

<PAGE>

         During  1999,  the  Partnership  anticipates  approximately  $44,000 of
capital  improvements  for  the  Partnership's  wholly-owned  properties.  Total
capital  improvements were $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 with
respect to these properties

         The Partnership paid  distributions to the limited and general partners
totaling  $2,318,000  ($15.45 per unit) and $282,000,  respectively,  during the
first  three  months  of 1999.  Included  in these  distributions  were  special
distributions of a portion of the Partnership's operating reserve to the limited
and  general  partners  totaling  $1,425,000  ($9.50  per  unit)  and  $174,000,
respectively.  Future  distribution  rates may be adjusted  to levels  which are
supported  by  operating  cash flow  after  capital  improvements  and any other
necessary obligations.
