- ------   --------

General
- -------

          MGI Properties (the "Trust" or "MGI") is an unincorporated
business trust organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts.  MGI commenced operations in 1971 as a real estate investment
trust.  Since that time, the Trust has elected to be treated as a real
estate investment trust (a "REIT") under Sections 856-860 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal Revenue Code"), and expects
to continue to operate in a manner which will entitle the Trust to be so
treated.  For each taxable year in which the Trust qualifies as a REIT under
the Internal Revenue Code, taxable income distributed to the holders of its
shares will not be taxable to the Trust (other than certain items of tax
preference which are subject to minimum tax in the hands of the Trust).  See
"Investment and Operating Policies" and "Portfolio" below and the
description of dividend policy included under Item 5 of this Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 1993 (the "Report").

          References herein to the Trust include its wholly-owned
subsidiaries.

Narrative Description of Business
- ---------------------------------

          The Trust, which is a self-administered and self-managed equity
REIT, owns and manages a diversified portfolio of income-producing real
estate assets.  The Trust's portfolio consists of investments in apartment
complexes, multi-use industrial facilities (such as warehouses and research
and development buildings), shopping centers and office buildings.  The
primary investment objective of the Trust is to make diversified equity and
equity-oriented investments in existing properties believed to be capable of
producing stable and rising income streams and having long-term capital
appreciation potential.  The Trust also believes that its active managing
and leasing practices can enhance rental income, funds from operations and
long-term capital appreciation.  These investments have typically taken the
form in recent years of a direct equity ownership interest.

          The Trust employs ten persons.

Investment and Operating Policies
- ---------------------------------

          The investment policy of the Trust in its broadest aspect is to
seek income of the types permitted to a REIT under Section 856 of the
Internal Revenue Code, consistent with its Declaration of Trust.  Under its
Declaration of Trust, the Trust is permitted to invest in a broad range of
real estate and mortgage investments, including among other things equity
interests, full or participating interests in securities, whether or not
secured by mortgages, interests in rents and any other interests related to
real property.  The Trust's policies are subject to ongoing review by the
Board of Trustees and may be modified from time to time to take into
consideration changes in business or economic conditions or otherwise as
circumstances warrant.

          The Trust's investment focus with respect to type of property has,
during the last several years, been directed to equity and equity-oriented
investments in existing income-producing properties, principally apartment
complexes, multi-use industrial facilities, shopping centers and office
buildings.   MGI continues to believe it is beneficial to diversify its
assets by location and type of real estate, although it periodically changes
its emphasis from one sector to another in accordance with its perception of
market opportunities.  Over the past several years MGI, has increased its
emphasis on acquisitions in the northeastern region of the United States,
including industrial and office properties.

          Although the principal investment emphasis is on the direct
ownership of income-producing equity real estate, MGI was historically an
equity-oriented or "hybrid" (equity and mortgage) trust.  MGI's focus turned
from mortgage loans with equity participations toward equity investments in
which the Trust becomes the sole owner of the property and realizes all of
the property's future benefits and risks.  Management believes that this
evolution has given the Trust greater control over the direction of its
portfolio and the opportunity to increase its capital gains potential.

          Previously, when operating as a hybrid trust, the investments
financed as mortgages (first mortgage loans, junior liens, including wrap-
around mortgages, or purchase-money mortgages taken back on the sale of
former equity investments) have in many instances included an option to
acquire, or a provision for the conversion of such mortgage into, a material
equity position at a cost believed by management to be favorable, and in
some instances, a participation in the earnings from the property over a
base amount or a percentage of the proceeds from the sale of the property.

          In making new investments, MGI's investment focus has been
primarily directed to acquiring quality income-producing properties.  Over
the last several years, MGI's investment philosophy has been to seek what
management believes to be value- creating opportunities by acquiring quality
properties that have not met their full potential at a cost believed to be
below or near replacement value.  Management believes that its investments
can be managed to create a total return which includes current income and
appreciation.  The Trust seeks to implement its investment objectives
through selective acquisitions of quality properties, leasing and property
management in accordance with its defined long term goals, investment in
property improvements and periodic sales of selected properties.  The Trust
has recently operated with an individual investment parameter of below
$20,000,000, but has exceeded and may occasionally exceed this parameter. 
The decision to sell specific properties or investments involves a number of
factors, including the economic climate (giving effect also to the impact of
tax laws and other regulatory factors), future potential and reinvestment
alternatives.  As indicated above, the investment focus may change, based
upon the ongoing review of the Trust's policies by the Board of Trustees.

          As is common with any real estate owner or lender investing in
equity real estate, partnerships, mortgage loans and other investments, the
Trust from time to time may restructure its financial arrangements with
partners, tenants or borrowers who encounter financial or other
difficulties.  Accordingly, the Trust, as circumstances warrant, has
modified and will modify a lease, partnership, loan or other agreement if,
after investigation, it is established that such modification would be
economically feasible and in the best interests of the Trust.  Protection of
the Trust's investments may require foreclosure or other action leading to
acquisition of title to properties underlying its mortgage loans or
investments.  

          The Trust's business is limited to investments in real estate,
direct or indirect, including investments in and possible future
acquisitions of real estate companies.  To the extent that the Trust has
assets not otherwise invested in real estate, the Trust may invest such
assets in other securities, including United States government obligations
and commercial paper, so long as, in the opinion of the Trustees, such
securities may be held without jeopardizing the Trust's qualification as a
REIT under the Internal Revenue Code.

          Funds necessary to conduct operations are provided from rental and
interest income, mortgaging of equity investments, lines of credit,
corporate borrowings, sale of marketable securities and loan repayments and
amortization.  Such operations include the Trust's continuous incurrence of
costs, reimbursed and unreimbursed, for improvements and renovations of its
existing properties in order to maintain and enhance their value.  From time
to time, as conditions warrant, the Trust may operate on a leveraged basis
by incurring indebtedness in order to increase its capital available for
investment when, in the Trustees' judgment, the Trust will benefit thereby. 
There is no assurance at any given time that borrowed funds will be
available or that the terms and conditions of such borrowings will be
acceptable.  The Trust may employ short-term borrowings to fund some of its
investments.  Reference is made to Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in Item 14 below.

Portfolio
- ---------

          The Trust's real estate portfolio as of November 30, 1993
consisted of interests in fifty properties, forty-five of which are wholly-
owned, three are owned by partnerships in which the Trust has an equity
interest, one is a property sold by the Trust in a prior year transaction
which did not meet the conditions for a completed sale and is still carried
as a real estate investment for financial accounting purposes and one is a
mortgage loan that is accounted for as real estate owned.  For tax purposes,
the property sold and the property accounted for as real estate owned are
treated as mortgage loans receivable.  

          The Trust's real estate investments can be classified by type of
property and market region.  As of November 30, 1993, the Trust's real
estate investments were diversified by type of property as follows:

          Terms under leases to tenants at the Trust's properties range from
tenancies-at-will up to eighteen years.  The Trust leases commercial space
to approximately 260 commercial tenants, including 130 office tenants, 71
retail tenants and 59 industrial tenants.

          Additional information concerning the Trust's mortgage and real
estate investments is set forth under Item 2 and in Notes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7
in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Schedules XI and XII
of the Financial Statement Schedules included in Item 14 below.

Environmental Matters
- ---------------------

          Under various Federal, state and local laws, ordinances and
regulations, an owner of real estate or lender may be held liable for the
costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances
located on or in, or emanating from, such property.  The costs of such
removal or remediation of such substances could be substantial.  Such laws
often impose liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was
responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances.  The
presence of such substances, or the failure to properly remediate such
substances, may adversely affect the owner's ability to sell or rent such
property or to borrow using such property as collateral. Other Federal and
state laws require the removal or encapsulation of asbestos containing
material in the event of remodeling or renovation.

          MGI is not aware of any material violation of applicable
environmental requirements with respect to any of its real estate
investments and MGI is not aware of any environmental liabilities (including
asbestos related liabilities) that management believes would have a material
adverse effect on MGI's business, assets or results of operations.

Competition, Regulation and Other Factors
- -----------------------------------------

          The success of the Trust depends, among other factors, upon
general economic conditions and trends, including interest rates,
availability of credit, real estate trends, construction costs, income tax
laws, governmental regulations and legislation, increases or decreases in
operating expenses, zoning laws, population trends and the ability of the
Trust to attract tenants and keep its properties leased at profitable
levels.  The Trust does not consider its real estate business to be seasonal
in nature.

          In the area of investment permitted to the Trust, there may be a
wide variety of competing investors and lenders.  The Trust competes with
life insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, pension funds,
other financial institutions, partnerships, corporations, individuals and
other business entities, both domestic and foreign.  An increase in the
number of competing investors and lenders and the availability of investment
funds can have the effect of increasing competition for investments in real
estate and reducing the yields realizable with respect to such investments. 
With respect to properties presently owned by the Trust, or in which it has
an investment, the Trust competes with other owners of properties for
tenants.  The Trust's properties compete for tenants primarily on the basis
of location, rent and the condition and design of improvements.  Its
properties compete with similar properties located in their geographic area,
and such properties may be newer and larger than those in which the Trust
has an interest.  There are no statistics readily available which would
enable the Trust to determine its position with respect to its competitors
in the real estate investment industry.

          The Trust has been able to compete effectively despite the
recessionary environment in certain regions during fiscal 1993 and believes
that it will be able to do so in the future, by reason of the diverse make-
up of its income producing properties, as well as their geographic
diversity.  However, a continuation of the recessionary economic conditions
in certain regions or any adverse changes in local or national economic
conditions could result in the inability of some existing tenants (or
borrowers) of the Trust to meet their lease or other obligations and could
otherwise adversely affect the Trust's ability to attract or retain tenants. 
Management believes, however, that by reason of the factors stated above and
the Trust's financial strength and operating practices, particularly its
ability to implement renovations and improvements, it will be able to
maintain and over time increase rental income from its properties (although
there can be no assurance thereof).

          (a)  Market Information and Dividends.

          The principal market on which the Trust's common shares are traded

forth, for the fiscal quarters indicated, the high and low sales prices on
the New York Stock Exchange of the Trust's common shares and dividends paid
per common share.

          Future dividends will be determined by the Trust's Board of
Trustees and will be dependent upon the earnings, financial position and
cash requirements of the Trust and other relevant factors existing at the
time.  The Trust must distribute at least 95% of the Trust's taxable income
in order to enable it to qualify as a real estate investment trust for tax
purposes.  So long as the Trust continues to qualify as a REIT, shareholders
will, therefore, receive in the form of dividends at least 95% of the
taxable income of the Trust.

          (b)  Approximate Number of Holders of Common Shares.

                                   Approximate Number

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
         Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
         ---------------------------------------------

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     At November 30, 1993 financial liquidity was provided by $12.7 million
in cash and investment securities and by an unused $10.0 million line of
credit.  Shareholders' equity of $171.0 million at November 30, 1993, when
compared to $145.7 million at November 30, 1992, reflects net proceeds of
$25.6 million received in connection with the May 6, 1993 public offering of
2,000,000 common shares, dividends of $0.5 million paid in excess of net
income and, to a lesser extent, treasury stock issued in connection with
stock options exercised.

     Sources of funds in 1993 included the public sale of common shares,
operations, interest income and the Trust's portfolio of investment
securities.  In 1993, these resources were used to: (i) acquire ten
industrial properties and two office buildings, totaling 950,300 square feet
and 215,000 square feet of space, respectively, for an aggregate of $41.1
million cash and a $6.6 million wrap-around mortgage loan of which MGI had
been the lender, (ii) pay dividends of $8.5 million, (iii) repay debt of
$7.7 million, and (iv) fund $2.7 million of tenant and capital improvements.

     Total mortgage and other loans payable aggregated $66.9 million at
November 30, 1993, a net increase of $6.3 million compared to $60.6 million
at November 30, 1992.  The increase resulted from the addition of $14.0
million of debt (which included $0.7 million of debt in connection with the
acquisition of four industrial buildings), offset by scheduled amortization
payments of $0.9 million, a $5.6 million repayment of a maturing loan and
prepayments of $1.1 million (which included $0.7 million in connection with
the amendment and assignment of a lease at Yorkshire Plaza located in
Aurora, Illinois and $0.4 million related to three first mortgages acquired
in connection with three industrial buildings).  Mortgage and other loans
payable are collateralized by sixteen of MGI's properties having an
aggregate carrying value of $115.8 million, $3.2 million of investment
securities and MGI's guarantees of $9.2 million.  Subsequent to November 30,
1993, mortgage loans payable increased by $2.2 million as MGI received the
balance of the proceeds of a loan which closed in November 1993.

     Loans payable due within twelve months of November 30, 1993 totaled
$18.7 million, including a $6.3 million 12.75% loan with an April 1994
maturity and a $11.2 million floating rate loan with a September 1994
maturity.  MGI has commenced, on a preliminary basis, several mortgage
financing initiatives.  If MGI proceeds with all of these borrowing
initiatives a net increase in outstanding debt of approximately $30,000,000
may result.  Despite the generally reduced availability of real estate
financing, MGI believes it will be successful extending or refinancing
maturing mortgage loans upon satisfactory terms although there can be no
assurance thereof.

     In December 1993, MGI acquired two industrial/research and development
buildings, one totaling 100,000 square feet and the other 56,300 square
feet, located in suburban Boston, Massachusetts for an aggregate price of
$6.3 million cash.  Both buildings are 100% occupied by the same publicly-
traded tenant with leases that expire in June 1998 and December 1999.  Other
cash requirements in 1994 are distributions to shareholders, capital and
tenant improvements and other leasing expenditures required to maintain
MGI's occupancy levels and other investment undertakings.  During the period
1990 through 1993, annual expenditures for capital and tenant improvements
averaged approximately 1.2% of real estate investments.  In 1994 budgeted
capital and tenant improvements which are based on assumed leasing activity,
completion of discretionary capital projects and estimated costs,
approximates 1.7% of real estate investments.

     Principal sources of funds in the future are expected to be from
operations of properties including those acquired in the future, mortgaging
or refinancing existing mortgages on properties and MGI's portfolio of
investment securities.  Other potential sources of funds may include the
proceeds of offerings of additional equity or debt securities or the sale of
real estate investments.  The cost of new borrowings or issuances of equity
capital will be measured against the anticipated yields of investments to be
acquired with such funds.  Following the December 1993 acquisition of two
buildings, the purchase of additional properties in 1994 may require the use
of funds from MGI's line of credit, new borrowings, the sale of properties
currently owned or the issuance of equity securities.  MGI believes the
combination, at November 30, 1993, of cash and investment securities, the
value of MGI's unencumbered properties, and other resources are sufficient
to meet its short and long term liquidity requirements.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

     Net income for 1993 of $8.0 million, or $0.75 per share on the greater
number of shares outstanding, exceeded net income of $7.2 million, or $0.77
per share, in 1992.  Included in net income in 1992 was a net gain of $1.6
million, or $.17 per share.  

     Funds from operations in 1993 totaled $15.0 million, or $1.42 per share
on the greater number of shares outstanding, compared to $11.7 million, or
$1.24 per share, in 1992.  MGI defines funds from operations as net income
(computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles),
excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring, sales of property and
similar non-cash items, depreciation and amortization charges, and equity
method partnership losses.  MGI believes funds from operations is an
appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance.  The change in
funds from operations is attributable to the same factors that affected
income before net gains, with the exception of depreciation and amortization
expense.

     The increase in income before net gains when comparing 1993 to 1992
resulted principally from the increase in properties owned and the receipt
of a non-recurring fee.  As a result, rental and other income, property
operating expenses, real estate tax expense, depreciation and amortization
expense increased and mortgage interest income decreased in 1993.  The $8.2
million increase in rental and other income in 1993 compared to 1992 was
principally the result of (i) $3.6 million from the properties acquired in
1993, (ii) $2.4 million related to the reclassification of MGI's investment
in a Metairie, Louisiana apartment complex to owned real estate from a
mortgage receivable, (iii) $1.0 million of non-recurring income received in
connection with the assignment and amendment of a lease at Yorkshire Plaza,
Aurora, Illinois, (iv) $0.8 million due to the partial year ownership of
properties acquired in 1992 and (v) the $0.4 million increase from the
balance of the portfolio.

     The $2.4 million increase in property operating expenses and the $0.9
million increase in real estate taxes in 1993 as compared to 1992, reflect
primarily (i) $1.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively, related to the
Metairie, Louisiana apartment complex, (ii) $0.8 million and $0.6 million,
respectively, from the properties acquired in 1993, (iii) $0.2 million and
$0.1 million, respectively, due to the buildings acquired in 1992 and (iv)
$0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, from the balance of the
portfolio.  The $1.0 million increase in depreciation and amortization
expense for 1993 when compared to 1992 was mostly due to partial year
ownership of the properties acquired in 1993 and 1992 ($0.4 million) and the
Louisiana apartment complex ($0.5 million).

     The $1.6 million decrease in mortgage interest income in 1993 is due to
the reclassification of the Metairie, Louisiana investment to real estate
owned and the acquisition by MGI of the four properties that secured a $6.6
million MGI wrap-around mortgage loan.  Three additional factors also
contributed to the increase in income before net gains and funds from
operations when 1993 is compared to 1992.  Interest income in 1993 reflects
a decrease in the average outstanding balance of short-term investments and
lower interest rates.  General and administrative expenses increased in 1993
primarily reflecting an increase in personnel.  Lower average levels of debt
outstanding, combined with lower interest rates on variable rate debt,
resulted in decreased interest expense of $0.5 million when 1993 is compared
to 1992.

     Average occupancy levels of 94% in 1993 were higher than the level
achieved in 1992.  Average occupancy of MGI's industrial properties was 96%
in 1993 compared to 92% for 1992.  Average occupancy of MGI's office
buildings was 94% in 1993 and 91% in 1992.  Retail average occupancy during
1993 was 92% compared to 90% in 1992.  Average residential occupancy at 94%
in 1993 was comparable to 1992.

     At November 30, 1993, scheduled 1994 lease expirations for non-
residential space approximates 426,000 square feet, or 11% of the entire
commercial portfolio.  Of the scheduled 1994 expirations, 275,000 square
feet is industrial space, 128,000 square feet is office and 23,000 is
retail.  During the second half of 1993, MGI was notified that a 40,000
square-foot tenant in a suburban Chicago, Illinois office building was not
renewing its lease upon its December 31, 1993 expiration.  This tenant
contributed annual rental revenues of approximately $0.6 million.  Although
MGI believes that the rental rates for this tenant's lease is at or below
current market rents, rents paid by replacement tenants for this space could
be modestly below the existing rent, depending on length of vacancy, tenant
size and other market factors.

     Net income for 1992 of $7.2 million, or $.77 per share, exceeded net
income of $6.2 million, or $.66 per share, for 1991.  Net income in 1992
included net gains of $1.6 million.  Funds from operations totaled $11.7
million, or $1.24 per share, in 1992 compared to $12.2 million, or $1.30 per
share, in 1991.

     The changes in 1992 income before net gains when compared to 1991 were
the result of various factors.  The principal factors were the sale of an
interest in a California apartment complex ("the San Bruno Transaction"),
the acquisitions of two industrial properties and lower interest expense. 
The $2.7 million decline in rental and other income was the result of a
$3.3 million decrease in rental income from the San Bruno Transaction offset
by the increase of $0.3 million from the partial-year ownership of the 1992
acquisitions and $0.3 million of increased revenues from the other
properties.  Property operating expenses, including real estate taxes,
decreased $1.0 million as a result of a $1.4 million decrease in operating
expenses from the San Bruno Transaction, an increase of $0.1 million in such
expenses from the properties acquired in 1992 and an increase of $0.3
million from other properties.  Depreciation and amortization expense was
$6.0 million in both 1992 and 1991.  A decrease in depreciation and
amortization expense related to the San Bruno Transaction was offset by an
increase related to the 1992 acquisitions and increased amortization expense
related to tenant improvements.

     The $0.9 million decrease in interest expense for 1992 when compared to
1991 was the result of the decrease in debt outstanding combined with lower
interest rates on variable rate debt.  Increased levels of funds available
to invest in 1992, due to the San Bruno Transaction, produced an increase in
interest income on investment securities for 1992 when compared to 1991,
which offset the lower interest rates generally available in 1992 for short-
term investments.

     Net gains in 1992 included a $3.7 million gain related to the repayment
of approximately $18.8 million of the outstanding financing provided to the
partnership owning a San Bruno, California apartment complex.  This
repayment effected the partial sale of the Trust's interest for financial
accounting purposes.  Previously this property was carried as a real estate
investment since a 1976 sale had not met the financial accounting conditions
for a completed sale.  In addition, MGI deferred $3.7 million of gain
related to this property.  Partially offsetting this gain was a $2.1 million
write-down recorded in connection with the reclassification of the Trust's
mortgage loan receivable on a Metairie, Louisiana apartment complex to owned
real estate at November 30, 1992.

     Real estate investments and operations are subject to a number of
factors including changes in general economic climate, local conditions
(such as an oversupply of space, a decline in effective rents or a reduction
in the demand for real estate), competition from other available space, the
ability of the owner to provide adequate maintenance, to fund capital and
tenant improvements required to maintain market position and control of
operating costs.  In certain markets in which the Trust owns real estate,
overbuilding and local or national economic conditions have combined to
produce lower effective rents and/or longer absorption periods for vacant
space.  As the Trust re-leases space, certain effective rents may be less
than those earned previously.  Management believes its diversification by
region and property type reduces the risks associated with these factors and
enhances opportunities for cash flow growth and capital gains potential,
although there can be no assurance thereof.

     During the past three fiscal years, the impact of inflation on MGI's
operations and investment activity has not been significant.

Independent Auditors' Report
     
     
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
MGI Properties:


We have audited the consolidated financial statements of MGI Properties and
subsidiaries as listed in the accompanying index.  In connection with our audits
of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the financial
statement schedules as listed in the accompanying index.  These consolidated
financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of
the Trust's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain 
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
     
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MGI Properties and
subsidiaries as of November 30, 1993 and 1992, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended November 30, 1993 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.  Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, 
when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements 
taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information 
set forth therein.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Trust include the accounts of its
wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(b) Income Taxes
The Trust intends to continue to qualify to be taxed as a real estate
investment trust under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
and the related regulations.  In order to qualify as a real estate investment
trust for tax purposes, the Trust, among other things, must distribute to
shareholders at least 95% of its taxable income.  It has been the Trust's
policy to distribute 100% of its taxable income to shareholders; accordingly,
no provision has been made for Federal income taxes.

(c) Income and Expense Recognition
Income and expenses are recorded using the accrual method of accounting for
financial reporting and tax purposes.  Income or loss from real estate
partnerships is accounted for according to generally accepted accounting
principles using either the cost method or the equity method.  

(d) Depreciation and Amortization
Real estate investments, excluding land costs, are depreciated using the
straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 20 to 40 years.  Tenant
improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or
lease terms ranging from 2 to 10 years.  Equipment is depreciated over 5, 10
or 20 years.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred;
major improvements are capitalized.

(e) Statements of Cash Flows
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, all short-term investments with
a maturity, at date of purchase, of three months or less are considered to be
cash equivalents.

During 1993, the Trust purchased four industrial properties for $6.8 million. 
The purchase price consisted of cash and a $6.6 million mortgage loan
receivable.  Only the cash portion of the purchase price is reflected in the
accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows.

Mortgage loans payable assumed with the acquisition of real estate investments
amounted to $.7 million for the year ended November 30, 1993.

Cash interest payments of $5.3 million, $5.5 million and $6.5 million were
made for the years ended November 30, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

(f) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Trust estimated the fair values of its financial instruments at November
30, 1993 using discounted cash flow analysis and quoted market prices.  Such
financial instruments include short-term investments, U.S. Government
securities, mortgage and other loans payable and mortgage notes receivable
which were received in connection with transactions not qualifying as sales
for financial accounting purposes and accordingly not reflected in the Trust's
consolidated balance sheet.  The excess of the aggregate fair value of the
Trust's financial instruments over their aggregate carrying amounts is not
material.

Net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding.

</TABLE>

A discussion of certain real estate investments follows:

In 1982, the Trust sold its investment in a Michigan apartment complex and
received a $15.5 million purchase money mortgage in a transaction that did not
meet the conditions for a completed sale for financial accounting purposes. 
The loan, which matures in February 1995, has an interest rate of 7% and
provides for the Trust to receive at least 50% but not more than 60% of the
shared appreciation value in excess of the outstanding note balance.  In
addition, the Trust has a 35% ownership interest, direct and indirect, in the
partnership owning this complex.  The Trust's purchase option expires in
February 1995 and allows it to obtain a maximum equity interest of 67.5%.  At
November 30, 1993, the Trust carried this asset as a real estate investment at
a net carrying value of $7.5 million, which excludes the gain from the sale.

At November 30, 1992, the Trust began to account for its loan on a Metairie,
Louisiana apartment complex as real estate owned.  The Trust had been
recognizing interest income ($1.1 million in 1992 and 1991) on the related
mortgage loan as received.  During 1993, the Trust has recognized property
income and expenses as if it owned the property.  For tax purposes, this
investment is reflected as a $14.1 million, 8.5% mortgage loan receivable at
November 30, 1993.

With respect to a California partnership investment, the Trust is entitled to
receive 50% of property cash flow and residuals through a 2% limited
partnership interest (carrying value of $225,000) and has an option to
increase its equity interest.  In addition, the Trust has a loan receivable
from the partnership with a $3.1 million tax basis.  Such loan is not recorded
in the accompanying financial statements.

(b) Mortgage Loan
At November 30, 1992, the Trust had reached agreement with the borrower to
purchase the four industrial properties securing this $5.9 million wrap-around
mortgage loan for a price of $225,000 over the mortgage face value (face value
$6.6 million).  The acquisition of these buildings was completed December 31,
1992.  This loan was subordinate to prior liens which aggregated $.7 million.

(c) Other Gains 
In 1992, the Trust recognized a gain of $3.7 million and deferred an
additional gain of $3.7 million, which was effectuated by the December 1991
repayment of approximately $18.8 million of financing it had provided to the
partnership owning a San Bruno, California apartment complex.  Prior to the
completion of the December 1991 transaction, a 1976 sale had not met the
conditions for a completed sale and the Trust carried this property as a real
estate investment for financial accounting purposes.  In addition, in 1992,
the Trust recognized a $2.1 million write-down of the Metairie, Louisiana
investment discussed above.

(3) Leases

All leases relating to real estate investments are operating leases;
accordingly, rental income is reported when earned.

Future minimum lease payments on noncancelable operating leases at commercial
properties at November 30, 1993 are:  $23.0 million in 1994, $19.5 million in
1995, $16.4 million in 1996, $12.4 million in 1997, $9.1 million in 1998, and
$22.2 million thereafter.

The above amounts do not include contingent rental income which is received
under certain leases based upon tenant sales, ad valorem taxes, property
operating expenses and/or costs to maintain common areas.  Contingent rental
income was $3.4 million in 1993 and $2.6 million in 1992 and 1991.

Operating leases on apartments generally have a term of one year or less.

(4) Mortgage and Other Loans Payable

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Mortgage loans payable are nonrecourse and are collateralized by certain real
estate investments having a net carrying value of $115.8 million and the
Trust's guarantee of $6.2 million.  Loans require monthly principal
amortization and/or a balloon payment at maturity.

The mortgage loan maturing in September 1994 and a $10.0 million line of
credit are part of a credit agreement which requires the Trust to maintain
compensating balances of 4% of the outstanding loan balance in non-interest
bearing accounts with the lender or pay a deficiency fee.  The credit
agreement contains restrictive covenants which, among other things, require
the Trust to maintain certain financial ratios and restricts the incurrence of
certain additional indebtedness and the making of certain investments.  No
borrowing under this line of credit was outstanding during the fiscal year. 
In connection with this line, a fee is charged on the unused amount.

The housing revenue bond is tax exempt and is secured by real estate
having a net carrying value of $5.1 million.  The bond is also secured by a
letter of credit which is collateralized by $3.2 million of short-term
investments and U.S. Government securities.  The Trust has also guaranteed
$3.0 million of the debt.  The base interest rate floats weekly and was 2.35%
at November 30, 1993 (an effective interest rate of 4.28% due to the payment
of fees).

Principal payments on mortgage and other loans payable due in the next five
years and thereafter are as follows:  $18.7 million in 1994, $1.3 million in
1995, $13.4 million in 1996, $16.8 million in 1997, $0.8 million in 1998, and
$16.0 million thereafter.

(5) Shareholders' Equity

(a) Stock Option Plans
Under the Trust's 1988 stock option plans for key employees and Trustees (the
"Plans"), incentive stock options with or without stock appreciation rights or
nonqualified options and related stock appreciation rights may be granted to
employees, and nonqualified options may be granted to Trustees.  Under the
Plans, options may be granted at an exercise price not less than fair market

(b) Shareholder Rights Plan
On June 21, 1989, the Board of Trustees adopted a shareholder rights plan. 
Under this plan, one right was attached to each outstanding common share on
July 5, 1989, and one right will be attached to each share issued in the
future.  Each right entitles the holder to purchase, under certain conditions,
one one-hundredth of a share of Series A participating preferred stock for
$60.  The rights may also, under certain conditions, entitle the holders to
receive common shares of the Trust, common shares of an entity acquiring the
Trust, or other consideration, each having a value equal to twice the exercise
price of each right ($120).  One hundred fifty thousand preferred shares have
been designated as Series A participating preferred shares and are reserved
for issuance under the shareholder rights plan.  The rights are redeemable by
the Trust at a price of $.01 per right.  If not exercised or redeemed, all
rights expire on July 5, 1999.

(c) Common Stock Offering

In May 1993 the Trust sold 2,000,000 shares of common stock in a public
offering for a price of $13.785 per share.  The Trust received net proceeds of
$25.6 million after the underwriting discount and offering costs.

(6) Cash Distributions and Federal Income Taxes

The difference between taxable income and net income reported in the
consolidated financial statements is due principally to reporting certain
gains for tax purposes under the installment method, use of net operating loss
carryforwards available and differences in depreciation and in the basis of
real estate sold as reported for tax and financial statement purposes.

The Trust made cash distributions of ordinary income of $.81 per share
($8,460,000) in 1993, and cash distributions of ordinary income and capital
gains of $.80 per share is 1992 ($7,523,000) and in 1991 ($7,518,000).

On December 15, 1993, the Trust declared a dividend of $.21 per share payable
on January 11, 1994 to shareholders of record on January 3, 1994.

(7) Commitments

In November 1993, the Trust agreed to acquire two industrial research and
development buildings totaling 156,000 sq. ft. for an aggregate price of
approximately $6.3 million.  The purchase transaction closed in December 1993.
