Acquisition or Disposition of Assets Sovran Self Storage, Inc. (the "Company") has consummated the acquisition of 25 self-storage facilities through Sovran Acquisition Limited Partnership, L.P. ("OP"), a limited partnership controlled by the Company. The 25 facilities totaling approximately 1,321,000 square feet are located in 10 states and were purchased for approximately $51 million. All of the facilities were acquired with cash and from unaffiliated third parties. The acquisitions were funded by cash generated from operations and borrowings under the Company's line of credit, and one facility was partially acquired through the issuance of Operating Partnership Units (OP Units). Each of the facilities acquired was used by the seller as a self-storage facility prior to its acquisition by the Company, and the Company intends to continue the use of all facilities for that purpose. The Company's management determined the contract price through arms-length negotiations, after taking into consideration such factors as: the age and condition of the facility; the projected amounts of maintenance costs; anticipated capital improvements; the facility's current revenues; comparable facilities competing in the applicable market; market rental rates for comparable facilities; the occupancy rate of the facility; and the estimated amount of taxes, utility costs, personnel costs and other anticipated expenses. The following provides certain additional information concerning the 5 facilities acquired not detailed on the 8-K Report dated July 25, 1996. These properties are included in the accompanying financial statements in addition to the 20 facilities listed on the July 25, 1996 8-K Report.

We have audited the accompanying Historical Summaries of Combined Gross Revenue and Direct Operating Expenses (the "Historical Summaries") for sixteen self storage facilities (the "Acquisition Facilities") as described in Note 1, for the year ended December 31, 1995. These Historical Summaries are the responsibility of the management of Sovran Self Storage, Inc. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Historical Summaries based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Historical Summaries are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Summaries. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical Summaries. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The accompanying Historical Summaries were prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in the Form 8-K/A of Sovran Self Storage, Inc. as described in Note 1, and are not intended to be a complete presentation of the Acquisition Facilities' revenue and expenses. In our opinion, the Historical Summaries referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined gross income and direct operating expenses of the Acquisition Facilities for the year ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Expenses excluded consist of management fees, interest, depreciation and amortization, and other indirect costs not directly related to the future operations of the 25 Acquisition Facilities.

Unaudited Interim Periods The unaudited interim Historical Summaries for the six months ended June 30, 1996, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information.
