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

     The  following  is   management's   discussion   and  analysis  of  certain
significant  factors  occurring during the periods presented in the accompanying
Condensed Financial Statements.

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

     The  Company's  net income for the three  months  ended  March 31, 1996 was
$886,000  compared  to  $902,000  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1995,
representing a decrease of $16,000 or 2%. This decrease is primarily a result of
an increase in interest expense.

     Rental  income  for the three  months  ended  March  31,  1996 and 1995 was
$2,025,000 and  $1,931,000,  respectively,  representing an increase of $94,000.
Approximately  $43,000 of the increase in rental  revenues is attributable to an
overall  increase in rental  rates and  occupancy  levels at the  Company's  six
mini-warehouse  properties  located in California.  Rental revenues increased by
$3,000 at the Company's  business park facility for the three month period ended
March 31, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995  primarily due to an increase
in rental rates.

     The Company's  mini-warehouse  operations  had weighted  average  occupancy
levels of 89.6% and 88.3% for the three month  periods  ended March 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively.  The Company's business park facility had a weighted average
occupancy  level of 100.0% for both three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively.

     Cost of  operations  (including  management  fees  paid to  affiliates  and
depreciation expense) increased to $1,077,000 from $983,000 for the three months
ended  March 31,  1996 and  1995,  respectively,  representing  an  increase  of
$94,000. This increase is mainly attributable to increases in property taxes and
snow removal cost. The increase in property taxes is primarily due to a one time
refund  received in 1995 at the  Company's San Jose,  California  mini-warehouse
facility.  Snow removal cost  increased due to higher than normal snow levels in
the Company's eastern states facilities.

     In 1995, the  Partnership  prepaid eight months of 1996  management fees on
its  mini-warehouse  operations (based on the management fees for the comparable
period during the calendar year immediately preceding the prepayment) discounted
at the rate of 14% per year to compensate  for early  payment.  During the three
month period ended March 31, 1996, the Partnership  expensed $105,000 of prepaid
management  fees. The amount is included in management fees paid to affiliate in
the  condensed  statement  of  income.  As  a  result  of  the  prepayment,  the
Partnership  saved  approximately  $12,000  in  management  fees,  based  on the
management  fees that would have been payable on rental income  generated in the
three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the amount prepaid.

     Interest  expense of $11,000 was incurred in the first quarter of 1996 as a
result of a loan the Company  obtained in January  1996. 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.
- - --------------------------------

     Cash flows from operating activities ($1,266,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996) cash reserves and borrowings from the Company's  credit facility
discussed below were  sufficient to meet all current  obligations of the Company
including a regular  distribution of $.31 per Series A and Series B common share
($715,000 in aggregate for the three months ended March 31, 1996).

     In January 1996,  the Company  obtained an unsecured  non-revolving  credit
facility with a bank for borrowings up to $5,000,000.  Outstanding borrowings on
the credit facility which, at the Company's option,  bear interest at either the
bank's  prime rate plus .25% (8.5% at March 31,  1996) or the bank's  LIBOR rate
plus 2.25% (7.75% at March 31, 1996),  will convert to a term loan on January 1,
1998.  Interest is payable  monthly  beginning on April 1, 1996 until  maturity.
Principal will be payable quarterly  beginning on January 1, 1998. On October 1,
2001, the remaining  unpaid  principal and interest is due and payable.  For the
three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company borrowed and repaid $600,000.  In
April 1996, the Company borrowed an additional $450,000.

     As of March 31, 1996,  the Company was in compliance  with the covenants of
the credit facility.

     The Company's  Board of Directors has authorized the Company to purchase up
to 900,000 shares of Series A common stock. The Company has repurchased  526,883
shares of Series A common stock,  of which 22,000  shares were  purchased in the
first quarter of 1996 utilizing funds from the credit facility described below.

     In February  1994,  the Company  purchased  23,000  common shares of Public
Storage,  Inc., a publicly traded real estate  investment trust and an affiliate
of the Company, for $339,000.  The market value of these securities at March 31,
1996 was  $469,000.  The Company  recognized  $5,000 in dividends  for the three
months  ended March 31,  1996 and  included  this amount in other  income on the
condensed statements of Income.

     The Company has elected and intends to continue to qualify as a real estate
investment  trust  ("REIT")  for federal  income tax  purposes.  As a REIT,  the
Company must meet, among other tests,  sources of income,  share ownership,  and
certain  asset  tests.  The Company is not taxed on that  portion of its taxable
income which is  distributed to its  shareholders  provided that at least 95% of
its taxable income is so distributed to its shareholders  prior to filing of the
Company's  tax return.  The primary  difference  between book income and taxable
income is depreciation  expense. In 1995, the Company's federal tax depreciation
was $1,404,000.

     The bylaws of the Company provide that,  during 1997,  unless  shareholders
have previously  approved such a proposal,  the  shareholders  will be presented
with a proposal to approve or  disapprove  (a) the sale or  financing  of all or
substantially  all of the  properties and (b) the  distribution  of the proceeds
from  such  transaction  and,  in the  case of a sale,  the  liquidation  of the
Company. 

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION.
- - -------------------------

     The Company's  funds from  operations  ("FFO") is defined  generally by the
National  Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts as net income before loss
on early  extinguishment  of debt and gain on disposition  of real estate,  plus
depreciation and amortization. FFO for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
1995  was  $1,204,000  and  $1,214,000,  respectively.  FFO  is  a  supplemental
performance  measure for equity Real Estate  Investment  Trusts used by industry
analysts.  FFO does not take  into  consideration  principal  payments  on debt,
capital  improvements,  distributions and other obligations of the Company.  The
only  depreciation  or  amortization  that is added to income  to derive  FFO is
depreciation  and  amortization  directly  related to physical real estate.  All
depreciation and  amortization  reported by the Company relates to physical real
estate  and does  not  include  any  depreciation  or  amortization  related  to
goodwill, deferred financing costs or other intangibles. FFO is not a substitute
for the  Company's  net cash  provided  by  operating  activities  or net income
computed in accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  as a
measure of liquidity or operating performance.
