PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
- - ------------------------------

Item 1.  Financial Statements.
- - -------  ---------------------
 The combined financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
registrant, 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 condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the registrant believes that
the disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the information presented
not misleading.  It is suggested that these combined financial statements be
read in conjunction with the combined financial statements and the notes
thereto included in the registrant's latest annual report on Form 10-K.

 The unaudited "Combined Balance Sheets" as of March 31, 1994 and December 31,
1993, and "Selected Financial Data, Combined Statements of Income and Combined
Statements of Changes in Cash" for the periods ended March 31, 1994 and 1993,
of the registrant, and "Notes to Combined Financial Statements," presented in
the registrant's First Quarter Report, March 31, 1994, are incorporated herein
by reference.  These financial statements reflect, in the opinion of the
registrant, all adjustments  (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
necessary to present fairly the combined financial position and results of
operations for the respective periods in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles consistently applied.

Item 2.      Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
- - -------      ---------------------------------------------------------------
             Results of Operations.
             ----------------------
             Income from operations was $1.6 million, for the three months
ended March 31, 1994 and $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31,
1993.

             Income from property operations, which is rents less operating
expenses and real estate taxes, declined by $238,000 when comparing the first
quarter of 1994 to the same period of 1993.  This decrease was primarily
attributed to increased maintenance expenses, weather related expenses from
extreme winter conditions in 1994 and to the one time recognition, in 1993, of
a real estate tax refund from an office building in Pittsburgh, PA.

             Short term investment interest increased when comparing the first
quarter of 1994 to the same period of 1993 because of investments in short term
securities averaging $35 million during the first quarter of 1994.  During the
first quarter of 1993, an average of approximately $3 million was invested in
short term securities.  Short term investments increased in 1994 due to First
Union borrowing, then subsequently investing in short term securities,
approximately $38 million under one of its lines of credit on December 31, 1993.
This line of credit converted to a five year term loan based on the $60 million
balance outstanding as of December 31, 1993.

             Mortgage interest expense increased when comparing the first
quarter of 1994 to the same period of 1993.  The increase was caused by the $35
million mortgage loan obtained in September 1993.  The mortgage is secured by a
shopping mall in St. Cloud, MN.

             Senior notes interest expense increased when comparing the three
months ended March 31, 1994 and March 31, 1993.  The increase was due to the
issuance of $100 million of senior notes at a coupon rate of 8.875% on October
1, 1993.  The proceeds were used primarily to repay $45 million of 8.375%
senior notes and $37.6 million of 10.25% convertible debentures on November 1,
1993.

             General and administrative expenses increased during the first
quarter of 1994 as compared to the first quarter of 1993 primarily because of
the expensing of previously deferred costs related to possible acquisitions and
increased professional fees resulting from the registrant's management and
portfolio reorganization efforts.

             Net income was $1.6 million for the first quarter of 1994 and $4.4
million for the first quarter of 1993.  Included in net income was a capital
gain of $1.5 million in the first quarter of 1993 from a prior year installment
sale.  The final portion of this gain was recognized during 1993.

             Except as noted above, there has been no material change in the
registrant's financial condition from December 31, 1993.

                            NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            --------------------------------------
          1.  Income per share of beneficial interest has been computed based
              on weighted average shares and share equivalents outstanding for
              the applicable periods.  The shares issuable upon conversion of
              the convertible subordinated debentures have not been included in
              the per share computation because they were not dilutive.

          2.  Capital gains recognized in 1993 were from an installment sale
              which occurred in 1983.
