                   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 with 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:       During the third quarter, the Board of Trustees completed a
- ------        review of strategic alternatives available to MGI to maximize
              shareholder value, and on August 12, 1998, voted to approve a plan
              of complete liquidation and termination of the Trust ("the Plan"),
              with a Special Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for October 14,
              1998. A proxy statement describing the Plan, has been mailed to
              shareholders of record as of September 1, 1998. It is currently
              estimated that the net proceeds from the sale of the Trust's
              properties and other assets pursuant to the Plan would permit the
              Trust to make net cash distributions to shareholders aggregating
              between $30 to $33 per share, although there can be no assurance
              thereof. As noted in the proxy statement, management believes that
              substantially all of the properties will be sold within 12 to 15
              months of the adoption of the Plan by shareholders.

Note 3:       On September 17, 1998, the Board of Trustees declared a cash 
- ------        dividend of $.33 per common share payable on October 9, 1998 to
              shareholders of record on September 30, 1998.  This dividend
              payment will aggregate $4.5 million.

Note 4:       Cash paid for interest amounted to $2.6 million and $2.3 million
- ------        for the three-month periods ended August 31, 1998 and August 31,
              1997, respectively. During fiscal 1998, the Trust sold two
              properties that were secured by mortgages totaling $10.8 million
              and which were assigned to the purchasers at closing. Only the
              cash portions of the transactions are reflected in the
              accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.

Note 5:       At August 31, 1998, options to purchase an aggregate of
- ------        1,507,725 common shares at exercise prices ranging from $7.375 to
              $26.50 per share were outstanding under MGI's stock option plans
              for key employees and trustees. All options outstanding at August
              31, 1998 expire by August 2008.

Note 6:       Diluted earnings per share amounts are computed based on the
- ------        weighted average number of shares actually outstanding plus the
              shares that would be outstanding assuming the exercise of dilutive
              stock options, all of which are considered to be common stock
              equivalents. The number of shares that would be issued from the
              exercise of stock options has been reduced by the number of shares
              that could have been purchased from the proceeds at the average
              market price of the Trust's stock. Refer to Part I - Exhibit 11 -
              Computation of Earnings Per Share (page 15).

Note 7:       MGI intends to quality for the year ended November 30, 1998 as
- ------        a real estate investment trust ("REIT") 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.

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


Overview
- --------

         MGI is a self-administered equity REIT that owns and operates a
diversified portfolio of income producing real estate consisting of 65
commercial properties and three multi-family residential properties. The
commercial portfolio consists of 5.7 million square feet, 87% of which is
comprised of office, office/r&d and industrial properties. The multi-family
properties consist of three residential communities aggregating 959 units. At
August 31, 1998, the commercial and residential properties were 98.2% and 95.0%
leased, respectively. Since 1992, the Trust has focused on the commercial
segment of the real estate market, specifically industrial and office properties
located in New England. At August 31, 1998, 66%, based upon cost, of MGI's real
estate assets were located in New England. During fiscal 1997, the Trust began
the internalization of the property management function for its New England
properties. As of August 31, 1998, the Trust had 4.0 million square feet of
space under management.

         During the third quarter, the Board of Trustees completed a review of
strategic alternatives available to MGI to maximize shareholder value, and on
August 12, 1998, voted to approve a plan of complete liquidation and termination
of the Trust ("the Plan"), with a Special Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for
October 14, 1998. A proxy statement describing the Plan has been mailed to
shareholders of record as of September 1, 1998. It is currently estimated that
the net proceeds from the sale of the Trust's properties and other assets
pursuant to the Plan would permit the Trust to make net cash distributions to
shareholders aggregating between $30 to $33 per share, although there can be no
assurance thereof. As noted in the proxy statement, management believes that
substantially all of the properties will be sold within 12 to 15 months of the
adoption of the Plan by shareholders.

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

         Shareholders' equity at August 31, 1998 was $254.6 million, compared to
$242.4 million at November 30, 1997. The increase primarily reflects the excess
of net income over distributions paid. At August 31, 1998, financial liquidity
was provided by $11.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and by a $40.0
million unused balance on its line of credit.

         During fiscal 1998, the Trust has acquired 12 properties totaling
740,000 square feet for an aggregate price of $57.1 million - the acquisitions
were completed by April 1998. All of the properties are located in New England
and include seven office properties totaling 458,300 square feet, four
office/research and development properties totaling 242,700 and an industrial
building of 39,000 square feet. Additionally, the Trust sold seven properties
for an aggregate sales price of $23.1 million, of which $10.8 million was
provided in the form of the assumption of mortgage loans secured by two of the
sold properties. Proceeds from five of the sales have been reinvested in
property acquisitions through tax-deferred like kind exchanges.

         Mortgage and other loans payable totaled $131.3 million at August 31,
1998, a net increase of $18.1 million, when compared to the $113.2 million
outstanding at November 30, 1997. During the second quarter of fiscal 1998, MGI
entered into a $75 million unsecured credit facility which replaced two secured
lines of credit that totaled $45 million. The Trust currently has $35.0 million
outstanding under the line of credit whereas at November 30, 1997, there was
$15.5 million outstanding under the then existing lines. In addition, the Trust
closed on an $11.6 million mortgage loan secured by a Michigan

             PART I, ITEM 2 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

apartment complex and loans totaling $10.8 million were assumed by the purchaser
in conjunction with the sale of properties. The balance of the change represents
scheduled principal payments. Scheduled loan principal payments due within 12
months of August 31, 1998 total $3.1 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 1998 include
distributions to shareholders, capital and tenant improvements and other leasing
expenditures required to maintain MGI's occupancy levels and other investment
undertakings. Should the Trust not proceed, for whatever reason, with its plan
of liquidation, 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, 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 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 fiscal quarter ended August 31, 1998, was $5.2
million, or $.38 per share (basic), as compared to $4.5 million, or $.33 per
share (basic), in the corresponding quarter of 1997. Included in the 1998 third
quarter net income was $0.4 million of gain recognized from the property sales.
Income before net gain and extraordinary item was $4.9 million and $4.5 million
for the quarters ended August 31, 1998 and August 31, 1997, respectively.

         Net income for the nine months ended August 31, 1998, was $23.1
million, or $1.69 per share (basic), as compared to $12.8 million, or $.97 per
share (basic), a year ago. Income before net gain and extraordinary item was
$14.8 million and $12.5 million for the nine months ended August 31, 1998 and
August 31, 1997, respectively. Included in 1998 year-to-date net income were net
gains of $8.4 million from the sale of seven properties. Included in the 1997
year-to-date net income was a net 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.

         Funds from operations ("FFO") totaled $8.3 million in the third quarter
of fiscal 1998, compared to $7.3 million in the corresponding quarter of 1997.
Funds from operations for the nine months ended August 31, 1998 and 1997 were
$23.7 million and $20.3 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, joint ventures and
significant non-recurring items. MGI believes FFO is an appropriate supplemental
measure of operating performance.

</TABLE>


         The change in FFO 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 1998 to that of the previous
year, net income before net gain and extraordinary item increased by $.4
million. This growth resulted from a $1.6 million increase in property operating
income which was offset by costs of $0.4 million incurred in conjunction with
the Trust's strategic review and increases in interest expense and depreciation
and amortization of $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The increase in
interest expense is due to the higher average balance of debt outstanding in
1998. In addition, general and administrative expenses have increased by $0.2
million reflecting higher personnel costs and professional fees. Property
operating income is defined as rental and other income less property operating
expenses and real estate taxes. The change in property operating income reflects
the additional income of $2.2 million from the acquisition of properties, a
9.0%, or $0.8 million, increase in income from "same store" properties owned
throughout the third quarters of both fiscal 1998 and 1997, offset, in part, by
the income effect of $1.4 million due to the sale of properties. With respect to
the comparable properties, the increase in property operating income is
primarily due to increased revenues, particularly in the office and
office/research & development properties, reflecting the adjustment to market
rents as leases rollover.

</TABLE>

         For the nine months ended August 31, 1998 property operating income
from properties held in both fiscal years had increased by $2.1 million,
approximately 8.4%, when compared to the comparable 1997 period. The increase in
operating income was mostly driven by increased rental revenue. Base rents on
commercial leases renewed or released in the first three quarters of 1998 are
expected to increase approximately 36%, as such new leases become effective.

         Scheduled lease expirations and completed leasing (in square feet) for
the portfolio as a whole are as follows at August 31, 1998:

         The remaining fiscal 1998 scheduled lease expirations represent 2% of
MGI's total commercial portfolio. Scheduled expirations for New England
properties total 68,300 and 406,700 square feet, including 55,600 and 234,442
square feet for Massachusetts properties for the balance of 1998 and in 1999,
respectively. At this time, the Trust's scheduled expirations for the year 2000
total 1,060,000 square feet, with 970,000 square feet related to New England
properties. Existing rent levels relative to most New England space coming up
for renewal appear to be generally below prevailing market rents.

                                   (continued)



Year 2000 Compliance
- --------------------

The Year 2000 compliance issue concerns the inability of computerized
information systems to accurately calculate, store or use a date after 1999.
This could result in computer system failures or miscalculations causing
disruptions of operations. The Year 2000 issue affects almost all companies and
organizations.

MGI has conducted an assessment of its core internal computer information
systems and believes that its internal financial and information systems are
presently substantially Year 2000 compliant. Also, MGI is currently evaluating
those computer systems that do not relate to financial and other information
needs such as systems designed to operate a building, its telecommunications
systems, security systems, energy management systems and elevator systems. In
certain circumstances, MGI may be required to upgrade, modify or replace some of
its internal or operational systems. Additionally, no estimates can be made as
to any potential adverse impact resulting from the failure of tenants or
vendors, or third-party service providers, such as its banks, payroll processor
and its telecommunications providers, to prepare for the Year 2000 although MGI
is attempting to identify the risks.

Because MGI's assessment is ongoing, the total cost of bringing all internal
systems, equipment and operations into Year 2000 compliance has not yet been
fully quantified. To date, MGI has not expended significant funds to assess its
Year 2000 issues, since its evaluation of the Year 2000 issue has been conducted
by its own personnel or its third-party vendors in connection with their
servicing operations. MGI's evaluation has not been subject to any independent
verification or review process. While MGI's evaluation efforts may involve
additional costs, it believes, based on available information, that these costs
will not have a material adverse impact on the business, financial condition or
results of operations. While MGI believes it will be Year 2000 compliant by
December 31, 1999, but if the efforts by MGI or any of its material third-party
vendors and service providers are not completed on time, the Year 2000 issue
could have an adverse effect on its business. MGI is currently evaluating the
consequences of a potential failure to remediate these matters and is in the
process of developing contingency plans.

Forward Looking Statements

possible liquidation of the Trust's properties (including the possibility of
litigation pertaining thereto); the net realizable value of the Trust's
properties in the event the plan of liquidation is implemented; the effects of
financial market conditions and general economic conditions; current market
conditions remaining the same or improving; maintaining or improving the current
occupancy and rent levels at the Trust's properties, as well as those set forth
in Risk Factors (Item 1) and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations in MGI's Form 10-K for the year ended
