        During  the  second  quarter  of  1995,  Providence  and  Worcester
        Railroad  Company  (Railroad)  informed  the  Company  that  it had
        secured a commitment from a  bank  which  would enable it to borrow
        funds in an  amount  sufficient  to  prepay  the  entire balance of
        Railroad's note to the  Company  at  an interest rate significantly
        below  the  12%  rate  of  the  note.    The  Company  and Railroad
        negotiated a  reduction  of  the  interest  rate  to  10%  upon the
        Railroad's prepaying $l,800,000 on  its  note, which prepayment was
        made in August 1995.   The  Company  used the proceeds to prepay in
        full its note payable to a bank in the amount of $l,755,000.

</TABLE>

    6.  Description of leasing arrangements:

        At September 30, 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   $8,592,000  at  September  30,  1995.
        Commencing in 1992, management  has  been  able to conclude that a
        portion of the  excess  of  straight-line over contractual rentals
        ($247,000 through September 30,  1995)  is realizable when payable
        over the terms of the leases.


    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 September 30, 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 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 terminal
         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  terminal  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  September  30,  1995).    The Company has
         received  from   the   tenant   notification   of  the  tenant's
         termination of the lease  at  September  30, 1996.  However, the
         tenant has continued discussions with  the Company to extend the
         lease for a  two-year  period  with  no  increase  in the annual
         rental.  The notice of termination  of the lease does not affect
         the tenant's right  to  purchase  the petroleum terminal storage
         facilities, which right  expires  September  30,  1996.   In the
         event the tenant and the  Company  do  not extend the lease, 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 storage 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.    The  soil  contamination  was contained
         underneath the tank, and monitoring  wells have to date shown no
         degradation  of  the  area's   groundwaters.    The  Company  is
         presently in discussions with the applicable governmental agency
         to determine what additional  remediation,  if any, is necessary
         at this time.  However, the Company does not anticipate that any
         additional costs for remediation,  if  any, will be significant.
         The costs associated with this leak to date total $82,000, which
         costs were shared equally between the tenant and the Company.
         
         During the  second  quarter  of  1995,  Providence and Worcester
         Railroad Company (Railroad)  informed  the  Company  that it had
         secured a commitment from a bank which would enable it to borrow
         funds in an amount sufficient to prepay the entire balance of 
<PAGE>         
         Railroad's note to the Company at an interest rate significantly
         below the 12%  rate  of  the  note.    The  Company and Railroad
         negotiated a reduction  of  the  interest  rate  to 10% upon the
         Railroad's prepaying $l,800,000  on  its  note, which prepayment
         was made in  August  1995.    The  Company  used the proceeds to
         prepay in full its  note  payable  to  a  bank  in the amount of
         $l,755,000.  The prepayment  by  Railroad  and the interest rate
         adjustment  resulted  in  a  current  monthly  payment  over the
         remaining term of  twelve  years  by  Railroad  of principal and
         interest of $55,000.  The  concurrent prepayments resulted in no
         significant change to the Company's  net  cash flow on a monthly
         basis.
         
         
         Results of operations:
         
         For the three and  nine  months  ended Septemter 30, 1995, total
         income increased approximately  5%  and  11%, respectively, over
         the  1994  level.    The  increase  in  rental  income  resulted
         principally from scheduled  rental  increases  in long-term land
         leases and the recognition  of  the excess of straight-line over
         contractual rents associated with said leases.  Also included in
         total income for the  nine  months  ended September 30, 1995, is
         $75,000 resulting from  the  sale  of  properties and equipment,
         principally the Company's only  billboard  which was sold to its
         tenant.  Such increases  were  offset  in  part by a decrease in
         interest income on the  note  receivable from Railroad resulting
         from voluntary prepayments.
         
         For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, expenses
         applicable to rental income increased approximately 37% and 61%,
         respectively,  over  the  1994  level  due  principally  to  (1)
         previously deferred  engineering  costs  incurred  in connection
         with the proposed paving of  one of the Company's parcels, which
         project was abandoned when  it  was  determined that the cost of
         regulatory environmental requirements would not make the project
         viable and  (2)  an  unanticipated  increase  in  property taxes
         (approximately $126,000 on an annual basis).
         
         For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, expenses
         applicable to garage and surface parking increased approximately
         80% and  26%,  respectively,  over  the  1994  level  due  to an
         unanticipated increase in taxes (approximately $139,000).
         
         The Company has  filed  an  appeal  of  the increase in property
         taxes and is unable to  determine  if  the appeal will result in
         the lowering of the taxes. 
         
         For the  three  months  ended  September  30,  1995, general and
         administrative   expenses   decreased   approximately   23%  due
         principally to a decrease in payroll and related costs resulting
         from a reduced number of employees offset in part by an increase
         in  professional   fees   incurred   in   connection   with  the
         condemnation case which  is  currently  being  retried.  For the
         nine months ended September 30, 1995, general and administrative 
         
         expenses  increased  approximately  14%   over  the  1994  level
         resulting from the  increase  in  professional fees as described
         above.
         
         The Company had two notes  payable  outstanding with a bank, one
         of which was fully prepaid  in  September  1994 and the other of
         which was fully prepaid in August 1995.
         
         Future cash outlays for income  taxes will be a more significant
         portion of total tax  expense  and  presently exceed 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.
