     5.  Description of leasing arrangements:

         At March 31, 1995, the  Company  has  entered into land leases for
         three separate land  parcels  with  remaining  terms  of  up to 98
         years.  The Company  also  leases petroleum storage facilities and
         various parcels of land for surface parking.
         
         Prior to March 1995,  the  Company  leased various parcels of land
         for outdoor advertising to  two  tenants.   During March 1995, one
         tenant acquired the  other  tenant,  and  the Company extended the
         term of its current lease with the remaining tenant to 2023.
         
         For those leases  with  scheduled  rent  increases, the cumulative
         excess  of  straight-line  over  contractual  rentals (considering
         scheduled rent increases over the initial  32 to 102 year terms of
         the leases) amounted to $8,098,000  at March 31, 1995.  Commencing
         in 1992, management has been  able  to  conclude that a portion of
         the excess  of  straight-line  over  contractual rentals ($185,000
         through March 31, 1995) is  realizable when payable over the terms
         of the leases.

     6.  Note payable, bank:

         In 1990, the Company refinanced a note due of $2,500,000 by making
         a principal payment of $50,000  and  by  issuing a new note in the
         amount of $2,450,000 with interest at 1% over prime due July 1993.
         The note was extended to December 1994 and was further extended to
         December 1999 and provides  for  monthly installments of principal
         and interest of approximately $27,000.  In the quarter ended March
         31, 1995,  the  Company  made  a  prepayment  of  $50,000, thereby
         reducing the final  payment  due  in  December 1999 to $1,231,000.
         The note is secured by  the  Company's parking garage and the note
         receivable from Providence and Worcester Railroad Company.
         
     7.  Income taxes:
         
         Deferred taxes are  recorded  based  upon  differences between the
         financial statement and tax  basis  of  assets and liabilities and
         available tax credit carryforwards.    The tax effect of temporary
         differences and  carryforwards  which  give  rise  to deferred tax
         assets and liabilities at March 31, 1995 were as follows:

     8.  Commitment:

         Under an agreement with the State  of Rhode Island entered into in
         1990, the Company will owe the State $158,000 sixty days after the
         completion by the  State  of  a  construction contract for certain
         public improvements affecting one  of  the Company's parcels.  The
         Company anticipates that such  payment  will  not be due until the
         third quarter of 1995 at the  earliest and will be reimbursable by
         the developer of such  parcel.    Accordingly, the Company has not
         provided for  such  obligation  on  the  accompanying consolidated
         financial statements.  The agreement  is  secured by a mortgage on
         one of the  Company's  parcels.    The  agreement further provides
         that, should the amount not be  paid when it is due, interest will
         accrue from the due date at the rate of prime plus 1%.

 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

         Financial condition:
         
         A  significant  portion  of   the  Company's  land  consists  of
         approximately 20.5 acres, including 1.9  acres of air rights, in
         downtown Providence, Rhode  Island,  held  for development.  The
         Company is negotiating a  lease  on  one  of  its parcels and is
         engaged in discussions  concerning  the  possible development of
         other parcels but is unable to predict when leases on additional
         parcels will commence; however, the Company will continue to use
         the available parcels for public surface parking.
         
         Effective  October  1,  1991,  the  Company's  petroleum storage
         facilities were leased under  a  five-year lease under which the
         tenant has the right to extend  the lease term for an additional
         five years.  At  any  time  during  the  first five years of the
         lease,  the  tenant  can  exercise  an  option  to  purchase the
         petroleum storage facilities.    The  purchase  price during the
         first year of the lease  was  $4,500,000  and is increased by an
         inflation factor in each of the remaining four years ($4,961,000
         at March 31, 1995).   The  Company  has  not been advised by the
         tenant as to whether it will extend the term of the lease beyond
         September 1996 or whether  it  will  purchase the terminal.  The
         tenant must advise the Company  by September 30, 1995 whether it
         intends to extend the lease  term  for an additional five years.
         The Company  is  presently  unaware  of  the tenant's intentions
         either to extend the lease or  to  acquire the terminal.  In the
         event the tenant  neither  extends  the  lease nor purchases the
         terminal, the Company believes  it  will have sufficient time to
         locate a successor tenant.
         
         In August 1994, a leak was discovered in a 25,000 barrel storage
         tank at  the  petroleum  terminal  facilities  which allowed the
         escape of a small amount of fuel oil.  The tank was emptied, and
         all required notices were  made to the appropriate environmental
         agency.  No soil contamination has  been detected as a result of
         this  leak,  and  monitoring   wells   have  to  date  shown  no
         groundwater   contamination.      Accordingly,   the   Company's
         engineering  consultants  have  determined  that  no  additional
         remediation is necessary at this  time.    The Company is of the
         opinion  that  the   tenant   of   these  facilities  is  solely
         responsible for the payment  of  all  costs  to repair the tank,
         including related professional fees,  and for remediation of any
         damage caused by such leak.  These costs are presently estimated
         at $66,000 and are included as  a receivable from the tenant and
         a liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.  The
         tenant does not agree that it  is responsible for the payment of
         such costs.  The lease provides for arbitration in the event the
         parties cannot reach agreement on the matter.

         In 1990, the  Company  refinanced  a  note  due of $2,500,000 by
         making a principal payment of $50,000  and by issuing a new note
         in the amount of $2,450,000  with  interest at 1% over prime due
         July 1993.   The  note  was  extended  to  December 1994 and was
         further extended  to  December  1999  and  provides  for monthly
         installments of principal and interest of approximately $27,000.
         In  the  quarter  ended  March  31,  1995,  the  Company  made a
         prepayment of $50,000, thereby reducing the final payment due in
         December 1999  to  $1,231,000.    The  note  is  secured  by the
         Company's parking garage and the note receivable from Providence
         and Worcester Railroad Company.
         
         
         Results of operations:
         
         For  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1995,  total  income
         increased approximately 9% over the 1994 level.  The increase in
         rental income resulted  principally  from scheduled increased in
         long-term land  leases  and  the  recognition  of  the excess of
         straight-line  over  contractual   rents  associated  with  said
         leases.  Such  increase  was  offset  in  part  by a decrease in
         interest income  on  the  note  receivable  from  Providence and
         Worcester Railroad Company resulting from voluntary prepayments.
         
         For the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1995,  total expenses
         increased approximately 10% over  the 1994 level due principally
         to the write-off of expenses previously deferred and an increase
         in professional fees.
         
         At March 31, 1994, the Company had two notes payable outstanding
         with a bank, one of  which  was fully prepaid in September 1994.
         For the three months March  31,  1995  as compared with the same
         period in 1994 the increase  in interest expense results from an
         increase in the prime rate  during  the year from 7.25% at March
         31, 1994 to 9% at March 31, 1995.
         
         Future cash outlays for income  taxes will be a more significant
         portion of total tax  expense  and presently exceeds tax expense
         for financial reporting purposes.  This results principally from
         the recognition of rental income  on a contractual basis for tax
         reporting purposes and  to  additional  depreciation claimed for
         financial reporting purposes.
