                   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
          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:   The shareholders of the Trust approved a Plan of Complete  Liquidation
          and Termination of the Trust (the "Plan") at a special meeting held on
          October  14,  1998.  The Plan calls for the sale of all of the Trust's
          assets.  Net sales proceeds and available cash will be used to satisfy
          debts  and  obligations  with  remaining  funds to be  distributed  to
          shareholders.  It is presently  anticipated  that MGI Properties  will
          transfer its assets and  liabilities  to a liquidating  trust prior to
          October  14,  2000,  after  which  the  beneficial  interests  in  the
          successor  entity will be  non-transferable.  The  termination  of MGI
          Properties will occur at the time all remaining assets are transferred
          to a liquidating  trust.  With the termination of MGI Properties,  the
          liquidation will be completed for tax purposes,  although distribution
          of the  remaining  cash and net  proceeds  from future  asset sales is
          expected to occur  subsequent  to the  establishment  of a liquidating
          trust.  Although  MGI  believes  that it has operated in a manner that
          permits it to qualify as a REIT,  no  assurance  can be given that the
          Trust will  continue to qualify as a REIT for the period  prior to the
          distribution of MGI's remaining assets to shareholders  (including the
          transfer of the remaining assets to a liquidating  trust) and will not
          lose or terminate its status as a REIT.

NOTE 3:   On March  16,  2000,  the Board of  Trustees  declared  a  liquidating
          distribution   of  $3.00  per  share,   paid  on  April  13,  2000  to
          shareholders of record at the close of business on April 4, 2000. This
          distribution  aggregated  $41.3  million.  Since the  October 14, 1998
          liquidation vote,  liquidating  distributions  total $27.16 per share.
          The amount and timing of remaining distributions will be determined by
          the Trustees based upon funds  available,  net proceeds  realized from
          remaining  property  sales,  the  timing of such  sales,  the level of
          reserves deemed  necessary or appropriate,  and other  considerations.
          Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code,  distributions made
          within  24  months  of  the  adoption  of  the  Plan  are   considered
          liquidating  distributions  and  will  not  be  dividend  income  when
          received by shareholders. Distributions in liquidation should first be
          applied  to reduce a  shareholder's  tax basis in his or her shares of
          MGI with the excess  constituting  a capital  gain.  If the sum of all
          liquidating  distributions  is less than a  shareholder's  basis,  the
          difference will constitute a capital loss to the shareholder.

NOTE 4:   Upon  shareholder  approval of the Plan on October 14, 1998, the Trust
          reclassified  its real estate assets to "properties held for sale" and
          on that  date  ceased  depreciation  of the  assets  and  reclassified
          accumulated depreciation and amortization against the original cost of
          real estate  assets.  During the first two quarters of 2000, the Trust
          completed the sale of three retail properties  totaling 615,600 square
          feet, one office property  totaling 81,500 square feet, and a 1.7 acre
          parcel of land. The aggregate  sales price of these five  transactions
          totaled $46.9 million before selling expenses.

          As of July 14, 2000, MGI owned three properties,  and is renegotiating
          an agreement to sell one retail property located in Florida.  The sale
          agreement  is  subject  to the  customary  terms  and  conditions  for
          transactions  of this type,  including  the  purchaser's  satisfactory
          completion  of  due   diligence,   which  includes   engineering   and
          environmental  inspections,  and approval of titles and surveys.  This
          sale is  expected to close late in MGI's  third  fiscal  quarter or in
          MGI's fourth quarter,  although there can be no assurance that it will
          be successfully completed.

NOTE 5:   Cash  applied to interest  payments  amounted to $0.1 million and $0.2
          million  for the  three and  six-month  periods  ended  May 31,  2000,
          respectively,  and $2.3  million  and $4.9  million  for the three and
          six-month periods ended May 31, 1999, respectively.

NOTE 6:   MGI  believes  that it has  operated  in a manner  that  permits it to
          qualify as a real estate  investment trust under the provisions of the
          Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Accordingly,  no provision
          has been made for Federal income taxes. No assurance can be given that
          the Trust  will be able to  continue  to  operate in a manner so as to
          qualify or remain so qualified.

             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 is  operating  under a
Plan of Complete  Liquidation  and  Termination  of the Trust (the "Plan").  The
shareholders of the Trust approved the Plan at a special meeting held on October
14,  1998.  The Plan is  discussed in the Trust's Form 10-Ks for the years ended
November  30,  1999  and  1998,  and in the  definitive  proxy  statement  dated
September 10, 1998.  Since approval of the Plan, MGI, to date, has completed the
sale of 66  properties  totaling  5.4 million  square  feet and 959  residential
apartment  units,  for aggregate  sales  prices,  prior to the deduction of $9.6
million of selling expenses and closing  adjustments,  of $529.2 million,  which
prices  included  $48.8  million of mortgage debt that was repaid at closing and
$28.0  million  assumed by the buyers.  MGI has made  liquidating  distributions
aggregating  $27.16  per share  since the  October  1998  special  shareholders'
meeting.  Currently,  management  believes that the current  estimate of pricing
with respect to the  remaining  unsold  properties,  when added to funds held by
MGI,  is  estimated  to  result  in  additional  net  liquidating  distributions
aggregating  approximately  $2.50  per  share,  after  deducting  all  fees  and
liquidation  costs;  however,  no  assurances  can be given  that per  share net
liquidating distributions will reach this amount.

            At May 31,  2000,  MGI  owned  three  properties,  which  aggregated
223,000 square feet. As of July 14, 2000, MGI is  renegotiating  an agreement to
sell a retail property located in Florida.  The sale agreement is subject to the
customary terms and conditions for transactions of this type,  including,  among
other  things,  the  respective  purchaser's   satisfactory  completion  of  due
diligence,  which  includes  engineering  and  environmental  inspections,   and
approval  of titles and  surveys.  This sale is  expected to close late in MGI's
third  fiscal  quarter  or in MGI"s  fourth  quarter,  although  there can be no
assurance that this sale will be successfully completed.

            It is presently  anticipated  that MGI Properties  will transfer its
assets and liabilities to a liquidating  trust prior to October 14, 2000,  after
which the beneficial interests in the successor entity will be non-transferable.
The  termination of MGI Properties  will occur at the time all remaining  assets
are transferred to a liquidating  trust. With the termination of MGI Properties,
the liquidation will be completed for tax purposes, although distribution of the
remaining  cash and net  proceeds  from future  asset sales is expected to occur
subsequent to the establishment of a liquidating trust.  Although it is expected
that the Trust will  continue  to qualify as a REIT for the period  prior to the
distribution of MGI's remaining  assets to shareholders  (including the transfer
of remaining net assets to a liquidating  trust), no assurance can be given that
the Trust will not lose or terminate its status as a REIT.

properties   during   1999,   pursuant  to  the  Plan   created  a   fundamental
transformation  in MGI and is the primary  factor in  explaining  the changes in
operating  results  when 2000 is  compared  to prior  years.  Net income for the
quarter  ended May 31, 2000 was $2.9  million,  or $0.21 per share  (basic),  as
compared to $6.8 million,  or $0.49 per share (basic),  in the second quarter of
1999.  Included in 2000 second quarter net income were net gains of $2.7 million
from the sale of two properties. No gains were recorded in the second quarter of
1999.  Pursuant to the required  accounting for properties held for sale,  there
was no depreciation  or amortization of real estate assets  recognized in either
the first six months of 2000 or 1999.

            Net income for the six months  ended May 31, 2000 was $4.0  million,
or $0.29 per share  (basic) as  compared  to $14.2  million,  or $1.03 per share
(basic),  a year ago.  Income  before net gain and  extraordinary  item was $1.2
million  and $14.7  million  for the six months  ended May 31,  2000 and May 31,
1999,  respectively.  Included  in the 2000  year-to-date  net income  were $2.8
million  of net  gains  from  the sale of five  properties,  liquidation-related
expenses of $0.8 million and a $0.5  million  provision  for loss on  properties
held for sale.  Included in 1999  year-to-date net income was a $0.1 million net
loss  from  the  sale of one  property,  a $0.3  million  loan  prepayment  fee,
liquidation-related  expenses of $1.8 million and a $1.2 million  provision  for
loss on properties held for sale.

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


            Income before net gains and  extraordinary  item was $1.2 million in
2000 as  compared  to $14.7  million in the  comparable  six months of 1999.  In
comparing the first six months of 2000 and 1999,  the $13.4 million  decrease in
income before net gains and extraordinary item is primarily  attributable to the
disposition  of 66  properties  pursuant  to the  Plan.  This  change  primarily
resulted from the $21.9 million decrease in property operating income,  which is
defined as rental income less property  operating  expense and real estate taxes
($2.9 million in 2000 versus $24.8 million in 1999).  Property  operating income
totaled  $2.9  million in the first six months of 2000,  of which  approximately
31.5%, or $0.9 million,  related to the three  properties owned at May 31, 2000.
The change in  property  operating  income for these three  comparable  or "same
store" properties (i.e.,  owned for both fiscal years),  was a decrease of 7.7%,
or  $78,000,  when  2000  is  compared  to  1999.  This  decrease  is  primarily
attributable to expenses  associated with sales that did not close. The decrease
in income  before net gains was  partially  due to a $4.7  million  reduction in
interest expense, a $0.6 million decrease in depreciation and amortization,  and
a $1.0 million increase in interest  income,  all of which also results from the
sale of 66  properties.  Additional  factors  were a $0.6  million  decrease  in
general and administrative  expense, a $0.9 million decrease in liquidation plan
expenses,  and a $0.7 million  decrease in provision for loss on properties held
for sale.


LIQUIDITY

            Shareholders' equity at May 31, 2000 was $41.6 million,  compared to
$78.8 million at November 30, 1999. The decrease  primarily  reflects the amount
of cash  distribution  offset by net  income  earned in the first six  months of
2000. At May 31, 2000, financial liquidity was provided by $38.9 million in cash
and cash equivalents.

            Cash requirements in 2000 (exclusive of liquidating distributions to
shareholders)   will  include  capital  and  tenant   improvements  and  leasing
expenditures  required to maintain  MGI's  occupancy  levels.  Additionally,  in
connection with the Plan, MGI anticipates  incurring a variety of costs and fees
including  costs  related to sales,  fees to advisors  and other  professionals,
severance and incentive compensation,  payments to holders of stock options, and
other expenses related to liquidation. MGI anticipates meeting these obligations
through its position of cash and cash  equivalents held at May 31, 2000, the net
sale proceeds of its remaining properties, and property operations. MGI believes
the  combination  of  available  cash and cash  equivalents,  the value of MGI's
unencumbered  property and other  resources are sufficient to meet its liquidity
requirements while implementing the Plan.

                          PART I, ITEM 3 -- MARKET RISK
           QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


MARKET RISK

            MGI is presently  exposed to interest  rate  changes  primarily as a
result  of long  term  debt and the rate of  return  earned on its cash and cash
equivalent investments. MGI's only obligation for borrowed money at May 31, 2000
totaled $4.5 million,  representing  8.1% of its total  assets.  This is a fixed
rate mortgage loan with a rate of 7.4%.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

            Statements   made  or   incorporated  in  this  Report  may  contain
forward-looking statements, estimates or plans within the meaning of Section 27A
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the  "Securities  Act"),  and Section
21E of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the  "Exchange  Act").
Such forward-looking  statements involve known and unknown risks,  uncertainties
and  other  factors  which  may  cause  the  actual   results,   performance  or
achievements  of MGI to be materially  different from results or plans expressed

among other things,  adverse changes in the real estate markets; risk of default
under the Trust's outstanding  indebtedness;  financial condition and bankruptcy
of tenants;  environmental/safety issues and requirements; adequacy of insurance
coverage; and general and local economic and business conditions.  With respect,
in particular,  to the Plan, such factors include, among other things, the risks
of future  action or inaction by the Board of Trustees  (and the actual  results
thereof)  with respect to the Plan  (including  the  possibility  of  litigation
pertaining thereto),  the net realizable value of the remaining properties,  the
timing of  remaining  property  sales and  distributions  to  shareholders,  the
effects  of  financial  market  conditions  and  general  economic   conditions,
maintaining the current occupancy and rent levels at the properties,  as well as
those risk factors set forth in MGI's Form 10-K for the year ended  November 30,
1999, including those set forth under "Forward-Looking  Statements," "Other" and
Item 1 - "Adoption and  Implementation of Liquidation  Plan." Although the Trust
believes  that  the  assumptions   underlying  the  forward-looking   statements
contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and
therefore,  there  can  be no  assurance  that  the  forward-looking  statements
included or  incorporated by reference in this report will prove to be accurate.
In  light  of the  significant  uncertainties  inherent  in the  forward-looking
statements  included  herein,  the inclusion of such  information  should not be
regarded  as a  representation  by  the  Trust  or any  other  person  that  the
