                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.   The  accompanying   unaudited  condensed  financial  statements  have  been
     prepared  pursuant  to the  rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and
     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 Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

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 Company's  financial position at
     September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the results of its operations for
     the three and nine months  ended  September  30, 1996 and 1995 and its cash
     flows for the nine months then ended.

3.   The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,
     1996 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results  expected for the full
     year.

4.   In 1995,  the Company  prepaid  eight months of 1996  management  fees at a
     total cost of $329,000.  The amount has been  expensed as  management  fees
     paid to affiliate during the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

5.   In November 1994, the Company  obtained an unsecured  non-revolving  credit
     facility with a bank for  borrowings up to $5,000,000  for working  capital
     purposes and general corporate purposes.  In 1995, the Company renegotiated
     its credit facility to increase the borrowings up to $7,000,000, change the
     credit facility from non-revolving to revolving, extend the conversion date
     to a term loan to October 1, 1996 and extend the maturity date to September
     30, 2001. In October 1996,  the Company  renegotiated  its credit  facility
     further to reduce the borrowings to $6,500,000,  extend the conversion date
     to a term loan to October 1, 1997 and extend the maturity date to September
     30, 2002.  Outstanding  borrowings on the credit facility, at the Company's
     option,  bear  interest at either the bank's prime rate plus .25% (8.50% at
     September  30,  1996) or the  bank's  LIBOR  rate  plus  2.25%  (7.875%  at
     September 30, 1996). Interest is payable monthly. Principal will be payable
     quarterly  beginning  on  October 1,  1997.  On  September  30,  2002,  the
     remaining  unpaid  principal and interest is due and payable.  At September
     30, 1996, the outstanding balance on the credit facility was $4,700,000. In
     October 1996,  the Company  borrowed an additional  $800,000 on its line of
     credit facility. The Company is subject to certain covenants including cash
     flow  coverages and dividend  restrictions.  As of September 30, 1996,  the
     Company was in compliance with the covenants of the credit facility.

                      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 nine months ended  September 30, 1996 and
1995 was $3,451,000 and  $3,366,000,  respectively,  representing an increase of
$85,000 or 3%. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995
was $1,107,000 and $1,052,000, respectively, representing an increase of $55,000
or 5%. These  increases  are  primarily  the result of increases in property net
operating income (rental income less cost of operations, management fees paid to
affiliates and depreciation  expense)  partially offset by increases in interest
expense.

     Rental  income for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1996 and 1995 was
$8,280,000 and $7,813,000, respectively, representing an increase of $467,000 or
6%.  Rental  income for the three months ended  September  30, 1996 and 1995 was
$2,861,000 and $2,685,000, respectively, representing an increase of $176,000 or
7%. The Company's mini-warehouse operations showed increases in rental income of
$381,000 and $140,000 for the nine and three month periods  ended  September 30,
1996,  respectively,  compared to the same periods in 1995.  These increases are
primarily  attributable  to increases in occupancy  levels and rental rates at a
majority  of the  Company's  properties.  The  Company's  San Diego,  California
business park experienced  increases in rental income of $86,000 and $36,000 for
the  nine  and  three  month  periods  ended   September  30,  1996  over  1995,
respectively, due to increases in occupancy levels and rental rates.

     The Company's  mini-warehouse  operations  had weighted  average  occupancy
levels of 89% and 87% for the nine month  periods  ended  September 30, 1996 and
1995,  respectively.  The  Company's  business  park  facility  had  an  average
occupancy  level of 92% and 87% for the nine month periods  ended  September 30,
1996 and 1995, respectively.

     Cost of  operations  (including  management  fees  paid to  affiliates  and
depreciation  expense) was  $4,252,000  and $3,927,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively,  representing an increase of $325,000
or 8%. Cost of operations  was  $1,556,000  and  $1,442,000 for the three months
ended  September 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively,  representing  an increase of
$114,000 or 8%. These increases are primarily  attributable to increases in snow
removal  costs,  advertising  and  property  tax  expense.  Snow  removal  costs
increased  due to higher than normal snow levels  experienced  at the  Company's
mini-warehouse properties in the eastern states. Property taxes increased due to
one-time  tax  refunds  received in the first  quarter of 1995 at the  Company's
Inglewood,  California  property ($51,000) and San Diego business park ($20,000)
and in the  second  quarter  of 1995 at the  Company's  Pelham  Manor,  New York
property ($202,000).

     In 1995, the Company  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.  The  Company

                                        7


expensed the prepaid  management fees. The amount is included in management fees
paid to  affiliates in the  condensed  statements of income.  As a result of the
prepayment, the Company saved approximately $58,000 in management fees, based on
the management  fees that would have been payable on rental income  generated in
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to the amount prepaid.

     Interest  expense for the three and nine month periods ended  September 30,
1996  increased  by $8,000 and  $77,000,  respectively,  as compared to the same
periods in 1995 due primarily to a higher  outstanding loan balance in 1996 over
1995.

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

     Cash flows from operating  activities  ($4,994,000 in 1996),  cash reserves
and borrowing  against the Company's credit facility were sufficient to meet all
current  obligations  and  distributions  of the Company  during the nine months
ended September 30, 1996.  Management expects cash flows from operations will be
sufficient to fund capital expenditures and quarterly distributions.

     On November 12, 1996, the Company's  Board of Directors  declared a regular
quarterly  distribution  per share of $0.30.  In addition,  consistent  with the
Company's  REIT  distribution  requirements,  the  Company's  Board of Directors
declared  a special  distribution  of $0.25 per  share.  The  distributions  are
payable on January 15, 1997 to shareholders of record on December 31, 1996.

     The Company's  Board of Directors has authorized the Company to purchase up
to 1,100,000  shares of Series A common  stock.  As of September  30, 1996,  the
Company had repurchased  961,474 shares of Series A common stock, of which 3,600
were purchased in 1996.

     In November 1994, the Company  obtained an unsecured  non-revolving  credit
facility  with a bank  for  borrowings  up to  $5,000,000  for  working  capital
purposes and general corporate purposes.  In 1995, the Company  renegotiated its
credit  facility to increase the borrowings up to $7,000,000,  change the credit
facility from  non-revolving to revolving,  extend the conversion date to a term
loan to October 1, 1996 and extend the maturity  date to September  30, 2001. In
October 1996, the Company renegotiated its credit facility further to reduce the
borrowings to $6,500,000,  extend the conversion  date to a term loan to October
1,  1997 and  extend  the  maturity  date to  September  30,  2002.  Outstanding
borrowings on the credit  facility,  at the Company's  option,  bear interest at
either the bank's  prime rate plus .25%  (8.50% at  September  30,  1996) or the
bank's LIBOR rate plus 2.25% (7.875% at September 30, 1996). Interest is payable
monthly.  Principal will be payable  quarterly  beginning on October 1, 1997. On
September  30, 2002,  the  remaining  unpaid  principal  and interest is due and
payable.  At September 30, 1996, the outstanding  balance on the credit facility
was $4,700,000.  In October 1996, the Company borrowed an additional $800,000 on
its line of credit  facility.  The  Company  is  subject  to  certain  covenants
including  cash flow  coverages and dividend  restrictions.  As of September 30,
1996, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the credit facility.

     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

                                       8


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 $1,196,000.

     The bylaws of the Company provide that,  during 1999,  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 nine months ended September 30, 1996
and 1995 was $4,705,000 and $4,632,000,  respectively.  FFO for the three months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was $1,542,000 and  $1,484,000,  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.
