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

We are pleased to present the Trust's third quarter results
of operations.  Net earnings were $297,878 ($.08 per share)
for the three months ended September 30, 1995, bringing year-
to-date net earnings to $821,395 ($.21 per share).  Net
earnings in 1994 were $1,001,451 ($.26 per share) and
$1,444,964 ($.37 per share) for the three and nine months,
respectively, including a net gain from the sale of Midway
Business Park in Tucson, Arizona of $788,588 ($.20 per
share).  Funds from operations (earnings from operations
plus depreciation) were $1,438,601 for the first nine months
of 1995 compared to $1,410,297 for the first nine months of
1994.

Rents and expenses declined from 1994 to 1995 due to the
sale of Midway.  Midway contributed rental income of
$750,000 and incurred property expenses exclusive of
depreciation of $332,000 in 1994.  Rents and property
expenses before depreciation for properties owned in both
years increased $89,000 and $44,000, respectively, from 1994
to 1995.  Interest income increased $25,000 due to higher
interest rates on investable funds, while interest expense
decreased $339,000 due to the prepayment of mortgage loans.
Overall occupancy of the Trust's real estate portfolio was
96% as of September 30, 1995.

The Trust previously reported that Publix Supermarkets at
Kingsley Square in Orange Park, Florida had exercised an
option to extend its lease for five years.  The lease
extension, effective February 11, 1995, requires the Trust
to contribute up to $250,000 toward remodeling costs at the
Publix store.  The Trust had expected to incur this cost in
1995, but is now anticipating this to occur in 1996.

Luria's, a 23,587 square foot tenant at Kingsley Square,
discontinued operations there in March 1995.  Luria's has
continued to pay rent and has notified the Trust that it
will honor its lease obligations which run through March
2010.  The Trust is cooperating with Luria's in securing a
new tenant to sublease this space.  The Trust was recently
notified that P.W. Enterprises had filed a Chapter 11
reorganization plan and intends to close its 63,146 square
foot store at Geneva Square in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin in
early 1996.  The Trust intends to pursue all legal remedies
available to it under the P.W. Enterprises lease which
expires in September 2004.

Capital resources of the Trust consist of equity in real
estate investments and mortgage loans receivable.
Properties are maintained in good condition and adequate
insurance coverage is provided.  Liquidity is represented by
cash and cash equivalents ($1,459,938 at September 30, 1995)
as well as cash flow from the continued operation of the
Trust's real estate portfolio, which is considered
sufficient to meet current obligations.  The mortgage on
Geneva Square matures in March 1996, requiring a payoff of
$2,873,831.  The Trust expects to refinance this loan with
the current lender.

Earlier this year, the Trust announced that it had begun
exploring strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder
value, including a possible business combination or sale of
assets.  The Trust announced in July that it had received an
offer to acquire all of its assets for a price equivalent to
$5.75 per share, less costs required to complete the
transaction.  The offer was subject to financing and further
due diligence, as well as ongoing negotiations of
contractual terms and legal structure.  Completion of any
such transaction  will require the execution of a definitive
agreement and approval of the Trustees and shareholders.
There is no assurance that this or any other transaction
will be consummated.

The Board of Trustees declared a distribution of $.08 per
share, payable November 20, 1995 to shareholders of record
November 7, 1995.  Distributions to shareholders continue to
be dependent upon earnings, cash flow, financial condition
and other factors reviewed by the Board of Trustees.
