                                   (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
     June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995,  the results of its operations for the
     three and six months  ended  June 30,  1996 and 1995 and its cash flows for
     the six months then ended.

3.   The results of  operations  for the three  months and six months ended June
     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 $298,000.  The Company expensed  $224,000 of the 1996 prepaid
     management  fees for the six months  ended June 30,  1996.  The  balance of
     prepaid  management fees,  $74,000,  is included in prepaid expenses in the
     Balance Sheet at June 30, 1996.

5.   The Company has an  unsecured  revolving  credit  facility  with a bank for
     borrowings  up to  $7,500,000  for  working  capital  purposes  and general
     corporate purposes. Outstanding borrowings on the credit facility which, at
     the  Company's  option,  bear interest at either the bank's prime rate plus
     .25% (8.50% at June 30, 1996) or the bank's LIBOR rate plus 2.25% (7.80% at
     June 30,  1996),  will  convert to a term loan on April 1, 1997.  Principal
     will be payable quarterly  beginning on April 1, 1997.  Interest is payable
     monthly until maturity.  On January 1, 2002, the remaining unpaid principal
     and interest is due and payable.  At June 30, 1996, the outstanding balance
     on the credit facility was $5,400,000.  In July 1996, the Company  borrowed
     an additional $600,000.  As of June 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 six months  ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
was $2,059,000 and $2,105,000, respectively,  representing a decrease of $46,000
or 2%.  Net  income  for the  three  months  ended  June  30,  1996 and 1995 was
$1,141,000 and $1,079,000, respectively,  representing an increase of $62,000 or
6%.  Property  net  operating  income  (rental  income less cost of  operations,
management fees paid to affiliates and depreciation  expense) increased for both
periods.  However,  the  increase in interest  expense  partially  offset by the
increase in property net operating  income caused the decrease in net income for
the six months ended June 30, 1996.

     Rental income  increased  $192,000 or 4% from  $5,181,000 to $5,373,000 for
the six  months  ended  June 30,  1995 and  1996,  respectively,  and  increased
$111,000 or 4% from $2,628,000 to $2,739,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1995 and 1996, respectively.  The Company's mini-warehouse  operations generated
increases in rental  income of $146,000 and $78,000 for the six and three months
ended  June  30,  1996,  respectively,  compared  to the  same  periods  in 1995
primarily  due  to  increased  rental  rates  at a  majority  of  the  Company's
properties. The Company's three business park facilities also contributed to the
increase in rental income as a result of increased rental rates.

     The Company's  mini-warehouse  operations  had weighted  average  occupancy
levels of 89% and 87% for the six month  periods  ended June 30,  1996 and 1995,
respectively.  The  Company's  business  park  operations  had weighted  average
occupancy  levels of 92% and 93% for the six month  periods  ended June 30, 1996
and 1995, respectively.

     Cost of  operations  (including  management  fees  paid to  affiliates  and
depreciation  expense)  for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1996 and 1995 was
$2,947,000 and $2,840,000,  respectively,  representing an increase of $107,000.
Cost of  operations  for the  three  months  ended  June  30,  1996 and 1995 was
$1,423,000 and  $1,406,000,  respectively,  representing an increase of $17,000.
These  increases  are  primarily  due to  increases  in snow  removal  costs and
property taxes offset by a decrease in management fees paid to affiliates.  Snow
removal  costs  increased due to higher than normal snow levels at the Company's
facilities  located in the eastern  states.  The  increase in property  taxes is
primarily  due to a one-time tax refund  received in early 1995 at the Company's
San Diego, California business park.

     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.  During  the six
month  period  ended June 30,  1996,  the Company  expensed  $224,000 of prepaid
management fees. The amount is included in management fees paid to affiliates in
the condensed  statement of income.  As a result of the prepayment,  the Company
saved  approximately  $26,000 in management  fees,  based on the management fees
that would have been payable on rental income  generated in the six months ended
June 30, 1996 compared to the amount prepaid.

     Interest  expense for the three and six month  periods  ended June 30, 1996
increased by $37,000 and $147,000, 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  ($3,075,000 in 1996),  cash reserves
and  borrowings  from  the  Company's  credit  facility   discussed  below  were
sufficient  to meet all current  obligations  and  distributions  of the Company
during the six months  ended June 30, 1996.  Management  expects cash flows from
operations  will  be  sufficient  to fund  capital  expenditures  and  quarterly
distributions.

     The Company has an  unsecured  revolving  credit  facility  with a bank for
borrowings up to $7,500,000 for working capital  purposes and general  corporate
purposes.  Outstanding borrowings on the credit facility which, at the Company's
option,  bear  interest at either the bank's prime rate plus .25% (8.50% at June
30,  1996) or the bank's LIBOR rate plus 2.25%  (7.80% at June 30,  1996),  will
convert to a term loan on April 1,  1997.  Principal  will be payable  quarterly
beginning  on April 1, 1997.  Interest is payable  monthly  until  maturity.  On
January 1, 2002, the remaining unpaid principal and interest is due and payable.
At June 30, 1996, the outstanding balance on the credit facility was $5,400,000.
In July 1996, the Company borrowed an additional $600,000.  As of June 30, 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  1,300,000  shares of Series A common  stock.  The  Company  has  repurchased
961,451 shares of Series A common stock, of which 4,400 shares were purchased in
the first quarter of 1996.

     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 $1,446,000.

     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 six months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995 was $3,073,000 and $3,137,000, respectively. FFO for the three months ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995 was $1,627,000  and  $1,572,000,  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.
