                         CV REIT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



(1) Organization, Business and Basis of Presentation

Organization and Business

CV Reit,  Inc. ("CV Reit") is a  self-administered,  self-managed  equity   real
estate investment trust ("REIT") which is engaged in the ownership, acquisition,
redevelopment,  management  and leasing of community and  neighborhood  shopping
centers.  All of CV Reit's assets (or the economic  benefit thereof) are held by
(and all of its  operations  are  conducted  through) an operating  partnership,
Montgomery  CV  Realty  L.P.   (together  with  its  wholly-owned   subsidiaries
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "OP"), under an Umbrella Partnership
REIT (UPREIT)  structure.  As of March 31, 2000, CV Reit, through a wholly-owned
subsidiary,  owned 84.5% of the OP and is the OP's sole general  partner.  As of
March 31,  2000,  the OP owned 20  shopping  centers  and two office  buildings,
located in the Mid-Atlantic  region and Florida  aggregating  approximately  1.9
million square feet.


Basis of Presentation

The accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts of CV
Reit and all subsidiaries ("the Company"),  including the OP. The Company owns a
95%  economic  interest  in  Drexel  Realty,  Inc.  ("Drexel"),  a  real  estate
management and leasing  company,  but none of the voting stock, and owns 45%-50%
interests in certain real estate  partnerships,  which are  accounted for on the
equity method.  Significant  intercompany  accounts and  transactions  have been
eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated  financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
Company,  without audit, 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  consolidated or omitted pursuant to such rules
and regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate
to make the  information  presented not  misleading.  It is suggested that these
consolidated  financial  statements  be read in  conjunction  with the financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.

The consolidated  financial  statements for the interim periods included herein,
which are  unaudited,  include,  in the opinion of management,  all  adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring  accruals)  necessary to present fairly the
financial  position  and  results of  operations  of the Company for the periods
presented.  The  results  of  operations  for  interim  periods  should  not  be
considered indicative of results to be expected for the full year.


Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported  statements  of assets and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual revenues could differ from those estimates.


<PAGE>
                                       7

Revenue Recognition

Rental  revenue is  recognized  on a  straight-line  basis over the terms of the
leases.  Certain leases provide for reimbursement to the Company of the tenants'
share of common area maintenance  costs,  insurance and real estate taxes, which
are recorded on the accrual basis.



(2) Proposed Merger

On December  10, 1999,  the Company  signed a definitive  merger  agreement  and
reorganization  plan with Kranzco Realty Trust  ("Kranzco"),  a shopping  center
REIT, to merge  operations and create a new community  shopping center UPREIT to
be called Kramont Realty Trust ("Kramont").  Terms of the merger call for common
shareholders of both companies to each receive one share of Kramont common stock
for each  outstanding  share of CV Reit and Kranzco  common  stock on a tax-free
basis.  The merger  agreement  is subject  to  certain  conditions,  principally
approval by  shareholders  of both companies at Special  Stockholders'  Meetings
which are scheduled to be held on June 6, 2000.

The Company's  President and Chief Executive Officer will assume the same titles
and  responsibilities  at the newly created Kramont with the Company's designees
holding the majority of the board seats.  Corporate headquarters will be located
at the OP's existing facilities, in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania.

Kramont is expected to own 84 properties and manage six  additional  properties,
substantially   comprising   neighborhood   and  community   shopping   centers,
encompassing  more than 12 million  square  feet of gross  leasable  space in 16
states with an asset base of approximately $800 million.

The merger  will be  accounted  for as a  purchase  by the  Company of  Kranzco.
Accordingly,  Kranzco's  assets  and  liabilities  will  be  recorded  at  their
estimated fair values based on the consideration given by the Company.

million  collateralized by first mortgages on the recreation  facilities at four
Century   Village   adult   condominium   communities   in   southeast   Florida
(collectively,  the "Recreation  Notes"). The Recreation Notes provide for self-
amortizing  equal monthly  principal and interest  payments due through July 31,
2023,  bear  interest at 11% to 13.5% per annum  (12.26%  average),  and contain

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

                              Results of Operations

Net Income

     Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 and 1999

  For the quarter  ended March 31, 2000,  net income was  $1,766,000 or $.22 per
share compared to $1,829,000 or $.23 per share for the same period of 1999.

During the quarter  ended March 31, 2000,  rent revenue and  operating  expenses
increased by $1,405,000 and $510,000, respectively (a net rental income increase
of $895,000),  primarily due to the acquisition of three shopping  centers since
March 31, 1999.  The increase  also  reflects  improved  operating  results from
income producing properties owned as of December 31, 1998.

Interest  expense  increased  by  $723,000  during  the  first  quarter  of 2000
principally  as a result of  increased  borrowings  to finance  shopping  center
acquisitions during 1999.

Depreciation and amortization  increased by $231,000 principally due to shopping
center acquisitions during 1999.

Interest income decreased by $40,000 during the first quarter of 2000, primarily
attributable to scheduled repayments of mortgage notes receivable (Note 4) which
are long term and require self- amortizing payments through 2023.

General and administrative expenses increased by $40,000 primarily due to higher
professional fees and performance related bonuses.

The  $57,000  increase  in equity in income  of  unconsolidated  affiliates  was
primarily attributable to Drexel.

Funds From Operations

Funds From Operations  ("FFO"),  as defined by the National  Association of Real
Estate  Investment  Trusts  (NAREIT),   consists  of  net  income  (computed  in
accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles) before  depreciation
and amortization of real property,  extraordinary  items and gains and losses on
sales of real estate.

The following schedule reconciles FFO to net income (in thousands):

We believe that FFO is an appropriate  measure of operating  performance because
real  estate  depreciation  and  amortization  charges  are  not  meaningful  in
evaluating  the  operating  results  of our  properties  and would  distort  the
comparative   measurement  of  performance  and  are  not  relevant  to  ongoing
operations.  However,  FFO does not  represent  cash  generated  from  operating
activities in accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  and
should not be considered as an  alternative to either net income as a measure of
our  operating  performance  or to cash flows from  operating  activities  as an
indicator  of  liquidity  or cash  available  to fund all cash  flow  needs.  In
addition,  since  other  REITs may not  calculate  FFO in the same  manner,  FFO
presented herein may not be comparable to that reported by other REITs.



                         Liquidity and Capital Resources

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

Net cash  provided by  operating  activities,  as  reported in the  Consolidated
Statements  of Cash Flows,  amounted to $2.4  million for the three months ended
March 31,  2000  compared to $2.1  million  for the same  period in 1999.  These
amounts generally reflect FFO and net changes in other assets and liabilities.

Net cash used by investing  activities for the three months ended March 31, 2000
decreased to $.2 million from $.4 million for the same period in 1999.  The 2000
amounts  reflect $.6 million of capital  improvements,  partially  offset by $.3
million  of  collections  on  mortgage  notes   receivable.   The  1999  amounts
principally consist of $.7 million of capital improvements,  partially offset by
$.3 million of collections on mortgage notes receivable.

Net cash used in  financing  activities  increased to $3.7 million for the three
months  ended March 31, 2000 from $1.3  million  during the same period of 1999.
The 2000 amounts  principally  consist of cash  distributions of $2.3 million to
stockholders and $.4 million to minority interests, and $1 million of repayments
of borrowings.  The 1999 amounts consist of cash distributions amounting to $2.3
million to stockholders and $.4 million to minority interests,  partially offset
by $1.4 million of net proceeds from borrowings.


Borrowings

At March 31, 2000, our  borrowings  were $155.3  million,  including $49 million
borrowed  principally under our line of credit (see below).  Scheduled principal
payments  over the next five years are $116  million  (including  $20.8  million
through December 31, 2000) with $39.3 million due thereafter. Our borrowings are
collateralized  by a substantial  portion of our Real Estate and our  Recreation
Notes.  We expect  to  refinance  certain  of these  borrowings,  at or prior to
maturity,  through  new  mortgage  loans on Real  Estate.  The ability to do so,
however,  is dependent upon various  factors,  including the income level of the
properties,  interest rates and credit  conditions  within the  commercial  real
estate market. Accordingly,  there can be no assurance that such refinancing can
be achieved.

Borrowings consist of $105.5 million of fixed rate indebtedness, with an average
interest  rate of 7.69% at March 31, 2000,  and $49.8  million of variable  rate
indebtedness,  principally  under  our  line of  credit.  The  weighted  average
interest rate of the variable rate indebtedness at March 31, 2000 was 7.88%.


<PAGE>
                                       12

Under our three-year  non-revolving  line of credit we were able to borrow up to
$100 million through March 31, 2000.  Advances under the line of credit: (1) are
secured by assets  based on specified  aggregate  loan to value and debt service
coverage  ratios,  (2) bear  interest  at an annual rate of one month LIBOR plus
1.75% and (3) must be repaid by certain  dates  during the twelve  months  ended
March 31, 2001.  Additional  provisions  include a 1% commitment  fee (which has
been   paid),   a   minimum   net   worth   covenant   and   cross-default   and
cross-collateralization  requirements.  Advances  under the line of credit  were
used to fund acquisitions, expansions, renovations, financing and refinancing of
real estate,  including  reimbursement of equity  advances,  and require certain
performance  covenants.  As of March 31, 2000, $10.3 million was available to be
borrowed based on collateral  already  pledged under the line of credit.  We are
currently negotiating an increase in the amount and extension of the term of our
line of  credit  and we expect to be able to  extend  the  dates  through  which
advances may be drawn and repaid. There is no assurance,  however,  that we will
be  successful  in  doing  so.  We have an  additional  $3.8  million  available
principally under another credit facility.


Capital Resources

Our  operating  funds are  generated  from rent  revenue  from income  producing
properties  and, to a much lesser extent,  interest income on our mortgage notes
receivable.  We  believe  that our  operating  funds will be  sufficient  in the
foreseeable  future to fund  operating  and  administrative  expenses,  interest
expense,  recurring  capital  expenditures and  distributions to stockholders in
accordance with REIT requirements. Sources of capital for non- recurring capital
expenditures and scheduled  principal payments,  including balloon payments,  on
outstanding  borrowings  are expected to be obtained from property  refinancing,
scheduled  principal  repayments  on the  mortgage  notes  receivable,  sales of
non-strategic  other real estate,  our line of credit and/or  potential  debt or
equity financing in the public or private markets.


Acquisitions

During the quarter  ended March 31, 2000,  we did not complete any  acquisitions
principally due to the proposed merger with Kranzco (see below).  Our policy has
been to acquire additional  properties only if they are income producing and any
proposed  acquisition  requires  a  resolution  by a  majority  of our  Board of
Directors that the  acquisition  will not adversely  affect our ability to pay a
quarterly dividend of at least 29 cents per share.  Under the OP agreement,  all
of the  activities  of the OP must  generally  be  conducted  with a view toward
enabling the OP to make quarterly  distributions  to all partners of at least 29
cents per OP unit and such additional amount, if required, to enable us to pay a
regular  quarterly  dividend of at least 29 cents per share to our stockholders.
As of March 31, 2000, there were 1,462,406 OP units held by minority interests.

On December 10, 1999, we signed a definitive merger agreement and reorganization
plan with  Kranzco  to merge our  operations  and create  Kramont.  Terms of the
merger call for common  shareholders of both companies to each receive one share
of Kramont common stock for each outstanding share of CV Reit and Kranzco common
stock  on  a  tax-free  basis.  The  merger  agreement  is  subject  to  certain
conditions,  including  approval by  shareholders  of both  companies at Special
Shareholders' Meetings which are scheduled to held on June 6, 2000.

Mr. Meshon will assume the same titles and responsibilities at the newly created
Kramont and our designees  will hold the majority of the board seats.  Corporate
headquarters  will be  located  at the OP's  existing  facilities,  in  Plymouth
Meeting, Pennsylvania.

Kramont is expected to own 84 properties and manage six  additional  properties,
substantially   comprising   neighborhood   and  community   shopping   centers,
encompassing  more than 12 million  square  feet of gross  leasable  space in 16
states with an asset base of approximately $800 million.


<PAGE>
                                       13

We believe the merger will provide benefits to our shareholders.  However, there
may be certain disadvantages, including but not limited to the following:

If the merger is  completed,  certain  common stock  dividend  protections  that
currently  exist  in our  certificate  of  incorporation  and by  laws  will  be
terminated.  Our common  shareholders are currently not subject to the rights of
any preferred  shareholders.  Upon  completion of the merger,  the rights of our
common  shareholders  will be  subject  to the  rights  of  Kramont's  preferred
shareholders.  In addition,  holders of Kranzco Series A-1 preferred  shares are
entitled  to  appraisal  rights in  connection  with the  merger.  Assertion  of
appraisal  rights by a  significant  number of those holders may have a material
adverse effect on Kramont's cash flow. Kramont may be required to incur costs in
connection with obtaining consents from lenders. The inability to obtain certain
material  consents may have a material  adverse  effect on Kramont's  cash flow.
Kramont  will have  operations  in a number  of  different  states.  There is no
assurance that costs,  management's time and effort, or other factors associated
with the  integration  of our  company and Kranzco  would not  adversely  affect
future combined results of operations or the benefits of expected cost savings.

In the  event  the  merger  is  terminated,  depending  on the  reason  for such
termination,  we may be required to pay Kranzco a break- up fee of $5 million or
an expense fee of up to $1.5 million or both.  The  obligation  to pay such fees
may deter others from offering to engage in a different  transaction  with us in
the event the merger is not consummated.

                                    Inflation

During recent  years,  the rate of inflation has remained at a low level and had
minimal impact on our operating results.

Most of the tenant leases  contain  provisions  designed to lessen the impact of
inflation.  These provisions include escalation clauses which generally increase
rental rates annually based on cost of living indexes (or based on stated rental
increases which are currently higher than recent cost of living increases),  and
percentage  rentals based on tenant's gross sales,  which generally  increase as
prices  rise.  Many of the  leases  are for terms of less  than ten years  which
increases  our ability to replace those leases which are below market rates with
new leases at higher base and/or percentage  rentals.  In addition,  most of the
leases  require the tenants to pay their  proportionate  share of  increases  in
operating  expenses,  including common area  maintenance,  real estate taxes and
insurance.

However, in the event of significant  inflation,  our operating results could be
adversely affected if general and  administrative  expenses and interest expense
increase  at a rate higher  than rent  income or if the  increase  in  inflation
exceeds rent  increases for certain  tenant leases which provide for stated rent
increases (rather than based on cost of living indexes).

general,  the level and volatility of interest  rates,  the impact of current or
pending legislation and regulation,  as well as certain other risks described in
the  Form  10-Q.   Subsequent   written  and  oral  forward  looking  statements
attributable  to us or persons  acting on our behalf are expressly  qualified in
