                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  (Unaudited)

     The accompanying financial statements of Union Property Investors, Inc. 
(the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with
the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Rule 310(b) of Regulation S-B. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
statements have been included herein. The financial statements as of June 30,

1996 and 1995 are unaudited. The financial statements reflecting results of
operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations for the fiscal year. For further information, refer to
the financial statements and footnotes included thereto in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1995.

Organization and Basis of Presentation

     The Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common
Stock") began trading on December 11, 1995 in the "pink sheets" in the
over-the-counter market and on the OTC Bulletin Board. The Common Stock has
traded under the symbol "UPIC" since such date. Prior to such date, there was
no public market for the Common Stock.

     On August 4, 1995 and October 30, 1995, Milestone Properties, Inc.
("Milestone") transferred to the Company five and eleven retail properties (the
"Transfer"), respectively (collectively, the "UPI Properties"). On November 20,
1995, the Company was spun-off from Milestone upon the distribution by
Milestone (the "Distribution") of all the outstanding shares of the Common
Stock, to Milestone's common stockholders of record as of October 31, 1995, on
a share-for-share basis and for no consideration. The Transfer has been
accounted for in a manner similar to that in a pooling of interest accounting.
Therefore, the UPI Properties were reflected at the historical cost basis of
Milestone.

         Prior to August 4, 1995, the Company had no operations and, as such,
the Statement of Revenues and Expenses for the period ended June 30, 1995 (the
"Statement") consists of historical revenue and expense amounts relating to the
operation of the UPI Properties prior to the Transfer ("Historical Amounts").
The Historical Amounts include giving effect to (1) an allocation to the Company
of a portion of the salaries of Milestone's officers and general and
administrative expenses related to Milestone's corporate office, and (2) an
allocation of Milestone's income taxes associated with the Historical Amounts
that the Company would have incurred on a stand-alone basis.

         The Statement of Revenues and Expenses for the period ended June 30,
1996 are based on the Company's actual results of operations.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
         and Results of Operation.

General

     Union Property Investors, Inc. (the "Company") is in the business of
acquiring, owning and developing real estate. Currently, the Company's
operations consist of the ownership of sixteen retail properties (the "UPI
Properties").

     The Company entered into an agreement with LSG Advisors, a division of
Societe Generale Securities Corporation ("LSG"), on February 5, 1996 (the "LSG
Agreement"), under which it has retained LSG to act as the Company's exclusive
financial advisor in connection with the Company's qualification as a REIT or

possible sale or merger transaction with or to a REIT. As of August 5, 1996,
the LSG Agreement is terminable by either the Company or LSG. If, during the
period LSG is retained by the Company or within six months thereafter, (i) the
Company consummates a sale or merger transaction or enters into a definitive
agreement with any third party which subsequently results in a sale or merger
transaction and (ii) LSG identified, advised the Company with respect to, or
had discussions regarding such sale or merger transaction, LSG will be entitled
to a transaction fee equal to 1.75% of the aggregate purchase consideration of
such sale or merger.

     Information regarding the requirements the Company would need to
satisfy to qualify as a REIT and, if qualified and elected, to maintain REIT
status, is set forth in the Company's Registration Statement on Form 10-SB,
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 31, 1995, as
amended, to which reference is hereby made. The Company can not currently
satisfy all of the requirements for qualification as a REIT.

     The Company and LSG have been engaged in discussions with third parties 
concerning a possible sale or merger transaction. The Company is also
exploring other opportunities, including financing and refinancing certain of
the UPI Properties.

for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $1,932,701 for the three months
ended June 30, 1995 primarily due to the net of an increase in occupancy

for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $405,315 for the three months

expense and insurance expense in 1996.

     Operating expenses of the Company increased by $300,768, or 29.45%, to
$1,322,195 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from $1,021,427 for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 primarily due to the net effect of the following:
(1) an increase in asset and management fees to related party of approximately
$263,000 due to the management agreements entered into in connection with the
Transfer and Distribution, (2) an increase in common area maintenance expense
of approximately $45,000 due to increased snow removal costs incurred in 1996,

the line of credit with First Union Bank.

     Depreciation and amortization increased by $16,738, or 2.07%, to
$824,003 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from $807,265 for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 primarily due to minor property improvements
incurred during 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     A significant portion of the Company's cash flows from operations is
currently being used to pay principal and interest expenses on the mortgages
underlying the UPI Properties and to pay to Milestone Properties, Inc.
("Milestone"), which spun-off the Company in November 1995, (a) certain fees
for administrative and property management services and (b) dividends and the
redemption price relating to the Company's preferred stock, par value $.01 per
share and $10 per share redemption value and liquidation preference (the
"Preferred Stock"). Therefore, while the Company will have enough cash to
operate and own the UPI Properties in 1996, the Company will likely be required
to seek financing to acquire additional assets. The Company may also seek, from
time to time, to dispose of properties.

     As a result of a redemption of $2,000,000 of the UPI Preferred Stock
on March 22, 1996, the dividend rate on the UPI Preferred Stock was decreased
from 9% to 8% effective January 1, 1996. On July 1, 1996, UPI redeemed $270,833
of the UPI Preferred Stock. The 8% dividend rate will be in effect to the
extent that a minimum of $270,833 of the UPI Preferred Stock is redeemed
quarterly.


     The primary source of capital to fund the Company's real estate
acquisition and development activities is expected to be obtained from the
financing and refinancing of the UPI Properties, commercial credit lines, and
from third-party institutional mortgages and purchase money mortgages provided
by sellers obtained in connection with specific acquisitions. The Company is 
actively seeking commitments for such funding.

     The Company has a $3,000,000 line of credit with First Union National
Bank of Florida with borrowing to bear interest, at the option of the Company,
at either prime plus 0.25% or LIBOR plus 2.2%. The line of credit, which was
obtained by Milestone in February 1995 and assigned to the Company in November
1995, has an 18-month term which may be extended and is secured by a first
mortgage encumbering one of the UPI Properties located in Morganton, North
Carolina. As of June 30, 1996, the Company had borrowed $2,000,000 which was
then outstanding under such line of credit.

     The Company's existing borrowings and the encumbrances on the UPI
Properties securing those borrowings may inhibit the Company or result in
increased costs in connection with the Company's ability to incur future
indebtedness and/or raise substantial equity capital in the marketplace.

     The Company expects to meet its short term financing needs with cash
generated from the operation of the UPI Properties and funds available under
its $3,000,000 line of credit with First Union National Bank. Management is not
aware of any trends or events, commitments or uncertainties that will impact
liquidity in a material way.

     Net cash provided by operating activities of $1,498,003 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 is comprised of (1) net income of $444,983, (2)

expense, and (3) a change in operating assets and liabilities of $229,017.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

     The Company is not a party to any legal proceedings. An action was
commenced on January 30, 1996 in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware
against Milestone, its Board of Directors and Concord Assets Group, Inc.
("Concord"). The Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Milestone until
November 1995, and Milestone currently owns all of the Company's Preferred
Stock. Concord, together with its affiliates, owns approximately 75% of the
Common Stock, and its executive officers and directors are also executive
officers and directors of the Company and Milestone. In the action, the
plaintiff, a preferred stockholder of Milestone purporting to bring the action
on behalf of himself and other preferred stockholders of Milestone, is seeking,
among other things, damages from Milestone, rescission of Milestone's transfer
of sixteen of its retail properties to the Company and rescission of
Milestone's distribution of all of the shares of the Common Stock to
Milestone's common stockholders in November 1995. The defendants moved to
dismiss the plaintiff's original complaint, and thereafter, the plaintiff
amended his complaint to allege further causes of action. The defendants have
moved to dismiss the amended complaint.

Item 6.  Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K.

     No reports on Form 8-K were filed during the quarter for which this
report is being filed.
