<PAGE>    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


I.   Liquidity and Capital Resources
          
          On January 31, 1994 the Trust had $13,799,000
          in available cash, cash equivalents and
          marketable securities.  
          
          During the six month period ended January 31,
          1994 the Trust paid approximately
          $130,000,000 to acquire ten shopping centers
          (1.5 million gross leasable square feet),
          three apartment properties (834 units) and
          the capital stock of Factory Merchants Malls,
          Inc. whose assets consisted of three factory
          outlet centers (565,000 gross leasable square
          feet).  The amount paid does not include
          assumed mortgages in the amount of
          $12,019,000.

          Debt at January 31, 1994 consisted of $28,466,000 of
          mortgages payable.  The increase from July 31, 1993
          reflects the prepayment of high interest mortgages and
          the assumption of mortgages in connection with the
          purchase of Factory Merchants Malls, Inc.  Except for
          normal trade accounts payable, accrued taxes and the
          current portion of mortgages payable the Trust has no
          short-term debt.
                    
          The dividend reinvestment program provided
          $7,070,000 during the six month period ended
          January 31, 1994.  In addition, the Trust
          made dividend distributions of $31,998,000 to
          shareholders, paid $130,000,000 to acquire
          new properties and spent approximately
          $7,500,000 in improvements to properties.

          Funds from operations (net income plus depreciation and
          amortization or properties less gains from asset sales)
          increased $4,974,000 to $29,232,000 compared to the
          prior year's comparable six month period.


II.  Results of operations for the six months ended January
     31, 1994 and 1993
     
     A.   Revenues

          Rental income and related revenues increased
          $13,748,000 to $43,880,000.  The increase was
          primarily due to the acquisition of new
          properties which were present in the current
          period but not in the prior period.  This was
          coupled with a rise in revenues in all
          categories of properties owned in both
          periods. 
<PAGE>
          Interest and dividend income decreased
          $3,457,000 due to a significantly reduced
          investment base during this period compared
          to the prior year and the repayment of
          mortgages receivable by the borrower. The
          lower investment base is a result of the
          purchase of 24 properties (four factory
          outlet centers, 16 shopping centers and four
          apartments) since July 31, 1992.  
 
     B.   Operating Expenses

          Operating costs and leasehold rents 
          increased by $3,235,000 to $9,868,000.  The
          increase was due primarily to the acquisition
          of new properties.

          Real estate and other taxes  increased by
          $1,164,000 to $4,546,000.  The increase was
          due to new property acquisitions.  

          Depreciation and amortization of properties
          increased due to the acquisition of 24
          properties.

          Provision for doubtful accounts, net of
          recoveries increased principally because
          provisions for loss were higher and
          recoveries of previously reserved
          uncollectible amounts were lower than in the
          comparable period of the prior year.
          
          Administrative expenses as a percentage of total
          revenues was 3.4% for both periods.
          
     C.   Gain or (loss) from asset sales

          Gains from the sale of securities and
          property were higher in the current period
          because of nonrecurring gains from the sale
          of property and securities. 

III. Results of operations for the three months ended January 31,
     1994 and 1993

     A.   Revenues

          Rental income and related revenues increased
          $8,483,000 to $23,823,000.  The increase was
          due to the acquisition of new properties
          which were present in the current period but
          not in the prior period.  

          Interest and dividend income decreased
          $1,969,000 due to a significantly reduced
          investment base during this period compared
          to the prior year. The lower investment base
          is a result of the purchase of 20 properties
          (three factory outlet centers, 13 shopping
          centers, four apartments) since January 31,
          1993.

<PAGE>
     B.   Operating Expenses

          Operating costs and leasehold rents 
          increased by $2,164,000 to $5,653,000.  The
          increase was due primarily to the acquisition
          of new properties.

          Real estate and other taxes  increased by
          $620,000 to $2,347,000. The increase was due
          to new property acquisitions.

          Depreciation and amortization of properties
          increased due to the acquisition of
          properties.

          Provision for doubtful accounts, net of
          recoveries increased principally because
          recoveries of previously provided for
          uncollectible amounts was higher in the
          quarter ended January 31, 1993 than in the
          current quarter.
          
          Administrative expenses as a percentage of
          total revenues decreased to 3.2% from 3.7%.

     C.   Gain or (loss) from asset sales
          
          Gains from the sale of securities were higher
          in the current period because of nonrecurring
          gains from the sale of securities.
