NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The interim financial statements are prepared pursuant to the requirements
for reporting on Form 10-Q. The July 31, 1996 balance sheet was derived
from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures
required by generally accepted accounting principles. The interim
financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes included in the Company's latest Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 1996. In the opinion of
management, the interim financial statements reflect all adjustments of a
normal recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the results for
interim periods. The results of operations for the current period are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year ending July 31,
1997. The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires
management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported
consolidated statements of operations and consolidated balance sheets and
related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Income (loss) per common share:
Income (loss) per common share has been computed by dividing the income
(loss) for the periods by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during the periods, adjusted for the purchase of treasury
stock. Shares used in computing income (loss) per common share were
2,136,124 and 2,136,308 in the three and nine months ended April 30, 1997,
respectively, and 2,136,397 in each of the comparable 1996 three and nine
month periods.
3. Financial Accounting Standards No. 121:
In May 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued statement of
Financial Standards No. 121 ("FAS 121"), "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of", effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. FAS 121 requires the
recognition of an impairment loss related to long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the sum of its
expected future cash flows. In such case, the asset's carrying value must
be written down to fair value. Adoption of this accounting standard did
not have any effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or
results of operation.
4. Marketable Securities - Other Investments:
Marketable Securities available for Sale are classified as current assets
because the Company anticipates that the funds will be required to apply to
the cost of renovation of the Jamaica building to accommodate new tenants for
occupancy in May, 1997.

</TABLE>
(a)On August 17, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with a bank
wherein the bank approved a $1,500,000 loan facility for the Company to use
to fund building construction/renovation costs to accommodate tenants under
lease. The Company had taken down the $1,500,000 and repaid the amount on
September 11, 1996 (see Note 5(b) below). There was no prepayment penalty
for early repayment of the loan.
(b)The Company, on September 11, 1996, closed a loan with a bank in the amount
of $4,000,000, the loan is secured by a first mortgage lien covering the
entire leasehold interest of the Company, as tenant, in a certain ground
lease and building in the Jamaica property. The loan proceeds were
utilized by the Company toward (a) payment in full of the outstanding term
loan by the Company in favor of the same bank in the amount of $1,500,000
plus interest (see Note 5(a) above) and (b) its costs for the renovations
to the portions of the premises in connection with the Company's sublease
of a significant portion of the building. Although the loan was closed on
September 11, 1996 the entire $4,000,000 was not drawn down until March 31,
1997. As of October 31, 1996 the Company had taken down $1,500,000.
Additional amounts of $800,000, $800,000 and $900,000 were taken down
December 30, 1996, February 3, 1997 and March 31, 1997, respectively. The
interest rate on the loan is 8 1/2% for a period of five (5) years and six
(6) months, with such rate to change on the first day of the sixty-seventh
(67th) month of the term to a rate equal to the then prime rate plus 1/4%,
fixed for the balance of the term. The loan is to become due and payable
on the first day of the month following the expiration of ten (10) years
and six (6) months from the closing date. During the first six (6) months
of the term, the Company is to have the option to secure advances against
the loan amount with the loan to convert to a ten (10) year term at the
expiration of the initial six (6) month period thereof. As of April 30,
1997, construction period interest incurred amounted to $45,845 which
amount was capitalized as part of the renovations.
Payments are payable in arrears, on the first day of each and every month
during the term, calculated (a) during the initial six (6) month period of
the term, interest only, and (b) during the final ten (10) year period of
the term, at the sum of the interest plus amortization sufficient to fully
liquidate the loan over a fifteen (15) year period. As additional
security, the Company conditionally assigned to the bank certain leases and
rents on the premises, or portions thereof, now existing and assigned
certain leases on the premises hereafter consummated. The Company has an
option to prepay principal, in whole or in part, plus interest accrued
thereon, at any time during the term, upon thirty (30) days prior notice to
the bank, without premium or penalty. Other provisions of the loan
agreement provide certain restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness
and the sale or transfer of the Company's ground lease interest in the
premises.
(c)Mortgage is held by an affiliated corporation owned by members, including
certain directors of the Company, of the family of the late Joe Weinstein,
former Chairman of the Board of Directors. Interest and amortization of
principal are paid quarterly. Effective April 1, 1997, the maturity date of
the mortgage which was scheduled to be on March 31, 1998, was extended to
March 31, 2000. The interest rate increased from 7 3/8% to 9% commencing
April 1, 1997. During the renewal period there will be no change in the
constant quarterly payments of interest and principal in the amount of
$37,263.
(d)On October 28, 1994, the existing first mortgage loan balance on the
Fishkill property was paid down by a $200,000 payment and the due date of
the mortgage loan was extended for a period of five (5) years from November
1, 1994. The annual interest rate was reduced from 10% to 9% and the
principal and interest payments are to be made in constant monthly amounts
based upon a fifteen (15) year payout period.
(e)The mortgage loan, which is self-amortizing, matures September 30, 2002.
The loan is payable at an annual interest rate of 7%. Under the terms of
the loan, constant monthly payments, including interest and principal,
commenced April 1, 1994 in the amount of $33,767, until October 1, 1997, at
which time the monthly payments of interest and principal increase to
$36,540.

rejection of the lease ("Lease Rejection Claim") and a proof of claim in
the amount of $86,650 for pre-petition unpaid rent, which amount has been
allowed in the reduced amount of $84,354.39, without prejudice to
McCrory's right to assert other and further objections. The Company has
also filed an administrative claim in the amount of approximately $296,000
("Administrative Claim") for damages resulting from McCrory's failure to
repair and maintain the premises as required by the lease. McCrory has
filed an objection to the Company's Lease Rejection Claim and
Administrative Claim, and asserts that no amount is due and owing. The
Company has not included its claim against McCrory in its financial
statements due to the pending litigation over the Lease Rejection Claim
and Administrative Claim and the uncertainty of the amount that may
ultimately be allowed and collected. The Company has leased approximately
69,000 square feet of the approximate 99,000 square feet of space
surrendered by McCrory. The remainder of the space of approximately
30,000 square feet is not leaseable due to the renovations required to
accommodate six tenants where formerly there was one. The rental income
to be derived from the six tenants over the terms of their leases will be
approximately $5,040,000 less than the total rental income that would have
been due from McCrory for the period February 1, 1994 through April 29,
2010, the termination date of the McCrory lease.
Jamesway Corporation ("Jamesway"), which occupied retail space in the
Fishkill, New York property and whose lease extended to January 31, 2005,
filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on October 18,
1995. Jamesway rejected its lease for the Fishkill location with the
approval of the Bankruptcy Court, effective February 29, 1996 but
continued occupancy until March 22, 1996. The Company has filed an
amended unsecured claim in the amount of $883,635 for damages resulting
from the breach and rejection of the lease and an administrative priority
claim in the amount of approximately $189,000 for certain amounts due
under the lease after the filing of Jamesway's Chapter 11 petition and
for the costs of repairs resulting from Jamesway's failure to fulfill its
repair and maintenance obligations under the lease. The Company has made
no provision in its financial statements for the claims filed against
Jamesway due to the uncertainty of the amount that may ultimately be
allowed and collected, except for the pre-petition rental obligations
claim of $31,971, which amount is included in the unsecured claim of
approximately $883,635. Jamesway has recently stated in its Amended
Disclosure Statement for Debtors' Amended Joint Liquidating Plan of
Reorganization dated as of April 15, 1997, that creditors will receive
distributions equal to approximately 44% of the allowed amounts of their
unsecured claims. Accordingly, it is the opinion of management that the
Company will realize in excess of $31,971 from the Company's amended
unsecured claim of $883,635 and the Company's administrative claim in the
amount of approximately $189,000.
The Company reports scheduled rental income recognized on a straight-line
basis rather than rental income as it becomes a receivable according to
the provisions of the lease, in compliance with the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, "Accounting for
Leases". The excess of the scheduled rental income of McCrory, recognized
on a straight-line basis over rental income reported through January 31,
1994, the effective date of McCrory's rejection of its lease, amounts to
$708,673 and such amount was written off and classified as a bad debt
during the twelve month period ended July 31, 1994. The excess of the
scheduled rental income of Jamesway recognized on a straight-line basis
over rental income reported through January 31, 1996, amounted to $424,011
and such amount was written off and classified as a bad debt during the
twelve month period ended July 31, 1996.
13. Commitments and Contingencies:
There are various lawsuits and claims pending against the Company. It is
the opinion of management that the resolution of these matters will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
Results of Operations:
Three Months Ended April 30, 1997 Compared to the Three Months Ended April 30,
1996:
In the three months ended April 30, 1997, the Company reported income in the
amount of $18,013, or $.01 per share. The comparable 1996 quarter resulted in
income of $4,133.
Rental income in the current three months amounted to $2,429,193 compared to
$2,429,902 in the comparable 1996 three months.
Real estate operating expenses decreased to $1,490,821 from $1,510,799 in the
1996 quarter principally due to decreased maintenance costs.
Administrative and general expenses decreased to $489,693 from $549,219
principally due to decreased professional and insurance costs.
Depreciation and amortization expense in the current three months increased to
$251,217 from $224,384 in the three months ended April 30 1996 because of
additional improvements to property.
Interest expense exceeded investment income by $104,449 in the current quarter
and by $109,967 in the comparable 1996 quarter, principally due to the
increased interest on the broker loan discussed in Note 8 and the loans
discussed in Notes 5(a) and (b) to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Nine Months Ended April 30, 1997 Compared to the Nine Months Ended April 30,
1996:
In the nine months ended April 30, 1997, the Company reported income in the
amount of $217,890, or $.10 per share. The comparable 1996 nine month period
resulted in a loss of $231,987, or $.11 per share, after the pre-tax write-off
of a bad debt amounting to $424,011 relating to the rejection by a tenant of
its lease, discussed below. There was no comparable item in the 1997 nine
month period.
Rental income in the current nine months increased to $7,343,860 from
$6,924,337 in the comparable 1996 nine months, primarily due to the addition
of three tenants.
Real estate operating expenses increased to $4,453,965 from $4,289,605 in the
1996 comparable period principally due to increased real estate taxes,
electricity and fuel costs, offset in part by an allowed credit for water and
sewage costs in the 1996 nine month period.
Administrative and general expenses decreased to $1,457,732 from $1,957,123
principally due to a pre-tax write-off of a bad debt of $424,011 in the 1996
nine month period, discussed below, and a decrease in insurance and legal and
professional costs.
The Company reports scheduled rental income recognized on a straight-line
basis rather than rental income as it becomes a receivable according to the
provisions of the lease, in compliance with the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, "Accounting for Leases". The excess of
the scheduled rental income of Jamesway recognized on a straight-line basis
over rental income reported through January 31, 1996, amounted to $424,011 and
such amount was written off and classified as a bad debt in the 1996 nine
month period.
Depreciation and amortization expense in the current nine months increased to
$722,804 from $664,152 in the nine months ended April 30, 1996 because of
additional improvements to property.
Interest expense exceeded investment income in the amount of $330,469 in the
current nine month period and by $325,044 in the nine months ended April 30,
1996 principally due to the increased interest on the broker loan discussed in
Note 8 and the loans discussed in Notes 5(a) and (b) to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
