respect to such laws.

ITEM 3.    SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 4.    PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         On September 1, 2000, a special committee of the board of trustees
approved a merger of the Issuer with and into an entity that will be
wholly-owned by the Prudential Insurance Company of America ("PIC") and
Gateway Recovery Trust ("Gateway", and together with PIC, the "PIC
Entities"), each of the Oaktree Entities, the Oaktree Account and the TCW
Related Entities ("Newco"). Each such party had previously executed a
shareholders agreement (the "Shareholders' Agreement") agreeing to contribute
the shares of beneficial interest of the Issuer held by such entity to Newco
and to vote in favor of a merger between the Issuer and Newco (the "Merger")
pursuant to which each holder of Common Shares other than Newco will receive
cash consideration and following which the Issuer will be eligible for
termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended. Pursuant to such agreement, on December 20, 2000 the
Oaktree Entities, the Oaktree Account, the TCW Related Entities and the PIC
Entities executed a written consent approving the Merger. As a result of the
Merger, each shareholder of the Issuer other than Newco will receive cash
consideration in an amount equal to $0.59 per share.

         In addition, in the merger agreement, the Oaktree Entities, the
Oaktree Account, and the TCW Related Entities agreed to exchange all of the
outstanding 8.5% Senior Secured Notes due October 1, 2000 (the "Notes")
issued by the Issuer and held by the Oaktree Entities and the TCW Entities,
respectively, for common shares of beneficial interest in the entity that
survives the Merger. The Oaktree Entities and the TCW Related Entities agreed
in the Shareholders Agreement that they will not (1) exchange such Notes into
Common Shares at an exchange price of less than the greater of (a) $0.50 per
share or (b) ten cents ($0.10) per share less than the highest price paid by
the Issuer to purchase any Common Share following the date of the
Shareholders' Agreement and prior to the date of such exchange of Notes or
(2) effect any subsequent exchange of Notes into Common Shares at

<PAGE>

an exchange price that is less than the exchange price of the first exchange
of Notes into Common Shares by the Oaktree Entities and TCW Related Entities.
Such agreements relating to the exchange of Notes into Common Shares will
terminate at such time, if any, that the PIC Entities terminate the
Shareholders' Agreement relating to the contribution of Common Shares to
Newco and voting in favor of the Merger.

         The TCW Related Entities, the Oaktree Entities and the Oaktree
Account intend to review on a continuing basis their respective investments
in the Common Shares and may, subject to the continuing evaluation of the
factors discussed herein, acquire from time to time additional Common Shares
in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Depending on the
factors discussed herein, each of the TCW Related Entities, the Oaktree
Entities and the Oaktree Account may, from time to time, retain or sell all
or a portion of their respective holdings of the Common Shares in the open
market or in privately negotiated transactions and such open market and
privately negotiated purchases or sales may be made at any time without
further prior notice. Any actions that the TCW Related Entities, the Oaktree
Entities or the Oaktree Account might undertake with respect to the Common
Shares will be dependent upon their review of numerous factors, including,
among other things, the availability of Common Shares for purchase and the
price levels of such Common Shares, general market and economic conditions as
well as those in the areas in which the Issuer's properties are located,
ongoing evaluation of the Issuer's business, financial condition, properties,
operations and prospects, the relative attractiveness of alternative business
and investment opportunities, the actions of the management and the Board of
Trustees of the Issuer, and other future developments.

         Each of the TCW Related Entities, the Oaktree Entities and the
Oaktree Account plan to continue to review various alternatives available to
enhance the value of the Issuer and its assets and engage in discussions with
other creditors and shareholders of the Issuer regarding such alternatives.
Such review and discussions may result in a decision by the TCW Related
Entities, the Oaktree Entities and/or the Oaktree Account to pursue in
cooperation with the Issuer and/or other creditors and shareholders of the
Company one or more restructuring options.

ITEM 6.     CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
            RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         On May 26, 2000, the PIC Entities sold to OCM Real Estate Opportunities
Fund II, L.P. $4,281,162.80 in aggregate principal amount of 8.5% Senior Secured
Notes due October 1, 2000 issued by the Issuer. In connection with such sale,
each of the Oaktree Entities, the TCW Related Entities and the PIC Entities
executed a Shareholders' Agreement pursuant to which each such party agreed to
contribute the shares of beneficial interest of the Issuer held by such entity
to a newly-formed entity that will be wholly-owned by the Oaktree Entities, the
TCW Related Entities and the PIC Entities and to vote in favor of a merger
between the Issuer and Newco pursuant to which each holder of Common Shares
other than Newco will receive cash consideration and following which the Issuer
will be eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of
the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The initial term of such agreement to
contribute Common Shares of the Issuer to Newco and vote in favor of the merger
continues until December 31, 2000, and such agreement will continue for
successive six month terms unless terminated not less than one month prior to
the expiration of the initial term or the applicable successive term.

         The Oaktree Entities, the TCW Related Entities and the PIC Entities
agreed in the Shareholders' Agreement that if the Oaktree Entities and TCW
Related Entities elect to transfer a number of Common Shares equal to 75% or
more of the aggregate number of Common Shares held by the Oaktree Entities and
TCW Related Entities as of the date of the Shareholders' Agreement to any person
other than an affiliate, then the acquiring entity may have the right at its
option to simultaneously purchase all of the Common Shares then held by the PIC
Entities. The PIC Entities also agreed to vote all Common Shares held by the PIC
Entities in favor of any merger, consolidation or similar transaction pursuant
to which the Oaktree Entities and the TCW Related Entities would transfer 75% or
more of the Common Shares held by such entities if such transaction is voted for
by such entities. Each of the Oaktree Entities and TCW Related Entities

<PAGE>

agreed that the PIC Entities would have the right to sell a pro rata portion of
their Common Shares in the event of the sale by the Oaktree Entities and TCW
Related Entities of Common Shares held by such entity except for transfers by
such entities that in the aggregate result in a transfer of 25% or less of the
Common Shares held by such entities as of the date of the Shareholders'
Agreement (in which case all subsequent transfers will be subject to the rights
of the PIC Entities to tag along), sales on a national securities exchange,
automated quotation system or over the counter system and certain transfers to
partners or affiliates of such entities.

          On May 30, 1997, the TCW Related Entities and Prudential entered into
an agreement pursuant to which the TCW Related Entities agreed that at such time
as Prudential identified an individual to serve as a trustee on the Board of
Trustees of the Issuer, the TCW Related Entities would (i) use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause a Trustee of the Issuer nominated by TCW Related
Entities to resign and (ii) vote all of the shares of common stock held by the
TCW Related Entities, or cause the Board of Trustees of the Issuer to take all
necessary action, to elect the individual identified by Prudential to the Board
of Trustees of the Issuer. Although not parties to the letter agreement, the
Oaktree Entities subsequently indicated that they intended to vote their Common
Shares in favor of the trustee nominated by Prudential. At a meeting of the
Board of Trustees on October 7, 1997, Michael Joseph was elected to the Board of
Trustees as the designee of Prudential. As of the date hereof, the letter
agreement has been fully performed and Prudential has indicated that it intends
to disclaim in writing any further or continuing obligations under the letter
agreement.

         Special Credits, as general partner of the Special Credits Limited
Partnerships, receives a fee for managing all the assets of each Special Credits
Limited Partnership. In addition, Special Credits, as investment manager of the
Special Credits Account, receives a management fee for managing the assets of
the Special Credits Account. The Special Credits Limited Partnerships and the
Special Credits Account have similar investment strategies of investing in
financially distressed entities; however, the implementation of these strategies
may differ from partnership to partnership and account to account.

         TCW, as trustee of the Special Credits Trusts, receives a management
fee for managing all the assets of Special Credits Trusts. The Special Credits
Trusts each have an investment strategy similar to the Special Credits Limited
Partnership and Special Credits Account in investing in financially distressed
entities. However, the implementation of this strategy may differ from entity to
entity and account to account.

         Oaktree, as general partner of each of the Oaktree Entities, receives a
management fee for managing the assets of each of the Oaktree Entities and has a
carried interest in each of the Oaktree Entities.

         Except as otherwise set forth herein, there are no contracts,
understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among or between any member
of the TCW Related Entities, the Special Credits Account, the Oaktree Entities
or the Oaktree Account or, to the best of their knowledge, their respective
executive officers, directors or general partners or between or among any of
such persons with respect to any securities of the Issuer.
