Item 2. FIRST HARTFORD CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
        CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Result of Operations

      The quarter ended July 31, 1999 produced a loss of $296,649 or (.10) per
share compared to a loss of $298,032 (.10) per share for the quarter ended July
31, 1998.

      Rental income has increased to $553,511 from $248,977 due to new rentals
at our shopping centers in Putnam, Connecticut and Mt. Olive, New Jersey.
Interest expense has increased to $413,571 from $144,188 and depreciation has
increased to $73,214 from $44,964. New rentals should stabilize in the third
quarter.

      In the quarter ended July 31, 1999 net property assets increased
approximately $800,000 while construction loans increased $1,865,000. Most of
the net increase in borrowing was due to cash management and was used to pay
down accounts payable by $723,000.

      Capital resource and liquidity have always been a major impediment of the
Registrant. Reputation, industry contacts and capital resources are the key
elements of the real estate development business. Management has continued to
explore new lenders and believes we will continue to find capital resources at
reasonable rates. Liquidity is worked on a daily basis through tight cash
management and the Registrant believes that will be adequate. In the event that
it is not, the Registrant will seek to bring a partner into one of the existing
properties or an outright sale.
