                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)


Note 1:       The results of the interim period are not necessarily
              indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.
              The figures contained in this interim report are unaudited and may
              be subject to year-end adjustments. Certain prior year amounts
              have been reclassified to conform to the current year
              presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
              necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and
              results of operations have been included and such adjustments
              include only the normal accruals.

Note 2:       On September 18, 1997, the Board of Trustees declared a cash
              dividend of $.28 per common share payable on October 10, 1997 to
              shareholders of record on September 30, 1997. This dividend
              payment will aggregate $3.8 million.

Note 3:       Cash paid for interest amounted to $2.3 million and $2.4
              million for the three-month periods ended August 31, 1997 and
              August 31, 1996, respectively.

Note 4:       At August 31, 1997, options to purchase an aggregate of 994,961
              common shares at exercise prices ranging from $7.375 to $21.375
              per share were outstanding under MGI's stock option plans for key
              employees and trustees. All options outstanding at August 31, 1997
              expire by April 2007.

Note 5:       During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Trust prepaid a
              $12.3 million mortgage and incurred a $306,000 penalty ($.03 per
              share), which was recorded as an extraordinary loss.

Note 6:       Subsequent to the close of the quarter, the Trust completed the
              sale of its seven St. Louis, Missouri properties for an aggregate
              sales price of $14.8 million. The properties had been secured by
              mortgages totaling $8.7 million that were assumed by the
              purchaser. The Trust will recognize a gain on sale of $1.1 million
              in the fourth quarter ending November 30, 1997. Immediately
              following the St. Louis, Missouri sale, the Trust acquired five
              properties located in Nashua, New Hampshire at prices aggregating
              $16.6 million. The properties aggregate 376,600 square feet and
              are 89% leased.

Note 7:       MGI intends to qualify for the year ended November 30, 1997 as
              a real estate investment trust under the provisions of Sections
              856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
              Accordingly, no provision has been made for Federal income taxes.

             PART I, ITEM 2 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS




Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Shareholders' equity at August 31, 1997 was $238.3 million, compared to
$194.4 million at November 30, 1996. The increase primarily reflects net
proceeds of $41.1 million from an equity offering of 2,000,000 common shares as
well as the excess of net income over distributions paid. At August 31, 1997,
financial liquidity was provided by $9.3 million in cash and cash equivalents
and by unused lines of credit aggregating $40.5 million.

         Through the first three quarters of fiscal 1997, the Trust has acquired
seven properties totaling 476,200 square feet for an aggregate price of $25.6
million. The properties were 99% leased as of August 31, 1997. All of the
properties are located in New England, including two office properties totaling
80,800 square feet in suburban Hartford, Connecticut. The remaining five
buildings consist of both office/research and development and industrial
properties that are located in the metropolitan Boston Massachusetts area. At
the end of the third quarter, the Trust's New England investments equal
approximately 52% of the total cost of its real estate. Subsequent to the close
of the quarter, the Trust completed the sale of its seven St. Louis, Missouri
properties for an aggregate sales price of $14.8 million. The properties had
been secured by mortgages totaling $8.7 million that were assumed by the
purchaser. The Trust will recognize a gain on the sale of $1.1 million in the
fourth quarter ending November 30, 1997. In September 1997, immediately
following the St. Louis, Missouri sale, the Trust acquired five additional
properties located in Nashua, New Hampshire at prices aggregating $16.6 million.
The Nashua, New Hampshire acquisition is comprised of three multi-tenant office
buildings equaling 128,200 square feet and two industrial "flex" buildings
totaling 248,400 square feet. The properties are 89% occupied. The acquisitions
were financed with available cash, the St. Louis sale proceeds and by an $8.7
million advance from the Trust's line of credit.

         Mortgage and other loans payable totaled $111.6 million at August 31,
1997, a net decrease of $26.9 million, compared to $138.5 million at November
30, 1996. The Trust utilized $28.0 million of the offering proceeds to repay the
outstanding balances on its lines of credit. The line was subsequently drawn
down by $4.5 million in connection with property acquisitions. In addition, the
Trust refinanced a $12.3 million, 9.3% mortgage loan with an $11.0 million loan
bearing interest at a rate of 8.12%. The balance of the change represents
scheduled principal payments. Scheduled loan principal payments due within
twelve months of August 31, 1997 total $3.3 million. MGI believes it will
continue to be able to extend or refinance maturing mortgage loans upon
satisfactory terms.

         Cash requirements during the balance of fiscal 1997 include
distributions to shareholders, capital and tenant improvements and other leasing
expenditures required to maintain MGI's occupancy levels and other investment
undertakings. Principal sources of funds in the future are expected to be from
property operations, lines of credit, mortgaging or refinancing of existing
mortgages on properties and MGI's portfolio of investment securities. Other
potential sources of funds include the proceeds of public or private offerings
of additional equity or debt securities of the Trust or the sale of real estate
investments. The cost of new borrowings or issuances of the Trust's equity
securities will be measured against the anticipated returns of investments to be
acquired with such funds.

         The Trust presently anticipates that in the near term primarily cash,
short-term investments and debt will finance the purchase of additional
properties. MGI believes the combination of available cash and short-term
investment securities, the value of MGI's unencumbered properties and other
resources available to it are sufficient to meet its short and long-term
liquidity requirements.

Results of Operations

         Net income for the quarter ended August 31, 1997, was $4.5 million, or
$.33 per share on the increased average number of shares outstanding, as
compared to $3.3 million, or $.28 per share, in the corresponding quarter of
1996. Net income for the nine months ended August 31, 1997, was $12.8 million,
or $.97 per share on the increased average number of shares outstanding, as
compared to $18.8 million, or $1.63 per share, a year ago. Income before net
gain and extraordinary item was $12.5 million and $9.4 million for the nine
months ended August 31, 1997 and August 31, 1996, respectively. Included in 1997
year-to-date net income was a gain of $0.6 million which was partially offset by
an extraordinary loss of $0.3 million incurred in connection with a loan
refinancing prepayment fee. Included in the 1996 year-to-date net income was a
gain of $9.4 million recognized from the sale of MGI's interests in a California
apartment complex.

         Funds from operations ("FFO") totaled $7.3 million in the third quarter
of fiscal 1997, compared to $5.7 million in the corresponding quarter of 1996.
Funds from operations for the nine months ended August 31, 1997 and 1996 were
$20.3 million and $16.3 million, respectively. MGI calculates FFO in conformity
with the NAREIT definition which is net income (computed in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from debt
restructuring and sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and
after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. MGI
believes FFO is an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance.

         The following is a reconciliation of net income to FFO:

         The change in FFO, compared to the corresponding periods in 1996, is
attributable to the same factors that affected income before net gain and
extraordinary item in such periods, with the exception of depreciation and
amortization expense.

         In comparing the third quarter of fiscal 1997 to that of the previous
year, property operating income, which is defined as rental and other income
less property operating expenses and real estate taxes, has increased by $1.6
million, $10.3 versus $8.7 million for the third quarter of 1996. Other changes
include an increase in depreciation and amortization of $0.4 million due to the
additional number of properties owned. General and administrative expense has
increased largely due to personnel related expenses. The change in property
operating income reflects the additional income from the acquisition of
properties totaling $1.2 million, offset, in part, by the income effect of $0.1
million due to the sale of properties. Income from properties owned throughout
the third quarters of both fiscal 1997 and 1996, i.e. "comparable properties",
in the aggregate, increased by $.5 million or 6.5%.

         For the nine months ended August 31, 1997 property operating income
from properties held in both fiscal years had increased approximately 3.3%, on
an annualized basis, when compared to the comparable 1996 period. When the
quarter and nine months ended August 31, 1997 are compared to the prior year
periods, the performance of the "comparable properties" reflects an increase in
rental rates as well as lower operating costs. The increase in property
operating income related to the acquisitions of properties reflects the Trust's
focus on New England over the past several years. The portfolio of New England
properties at September 30, 1997, including the Nashua, New Hampshire purchase,
totals 3,957,000 square feet. During the third quarter of 1997 the Trust began
to internalize property management with the objective of having the New England
properties under management within twelve months.

         Scheduled lease expirations and completed leasing (in square feet) for
the portfolio as a whole are as follows at August 31, 1997:

             PART I, ITEM 2 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                   (Continued)



                  Of the 807,500 total square feet leased year-to-date in 1997,
754,000 square feet, (which includes the 315,000 square feet in New England),
pertained to renewals or new leases of previously occupied space. Rents on the
754,000 square feet increased an aggregate 20% over prior rent levels, which is
equal to $1.2 million per annum once all the lease renewals have commenced. Of
this $1.2 million, approximately $290,000 has been reflected in earnings for the
first nine months of 1997; the balance will be recognized as new lease rates go
into effect over the next twelve months. Rents on the 315,000 square feet of New
England leases signed increased by 36% over prior rent levels.

                   Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the scheduled fiscal
1998 lease expirations have been reduced to 870,000 square feet from 1,129,100
square feet. The St. Louis sale reduced schedule expirations by 338,000 square
feet, while the Nashua acquisition added 79,000 square feet. In addition,
management has reached an agreement in principle to extend and expand the leased
space of a 50,000 square foot tenant at Yorkshire Plaza in Aurora, Illinois. The
lease is included in the 1998 expirations. Taking into consideration the sales
and acquisitions, expirations are scheduled throughout fiscal 1998 as follows:
326,700 square feet in the first quarter, 54,900 square feet in the second
quarter, 346,100 square feet in the third quarter and 142,600 square feet in the
fourth quarter. Expirations on the New England properties in 1998 total 552,000
square feet. Existing rent levels relative to New England space coming up for
renewal appear to be generally below prevailing market rents.

         outstanding taking into consideration common stock equivalents, if
         dilutive. Outstanding stock options are not taken into account in the
         computation of earnings per share as they are not materially dilutive.
