New Plan Realty Trust
1120 Avenue of the Americas
New York, NY 10036

                       INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

We have audited the accompanying Historical Summary of Revenues and Certain
Operating Expenses of Sweetwater Village, Cloverdale Village, St. Mary's
Plaza, Cedartown Shopping Center, Liberty Plaza, York Marketplace and
Arlington Apartments (the "Properties") for various year ends (see Note). 
This Historical Summary is the responsibility of New Plan Realty Trust's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this Historical
Summary based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  These standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Historical Summary is free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Summary. 
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the Historical Summary.  We believe that our audit provides
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The Historical Summary has been prepared for the purpose of complying with
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and
its use for any other purpose may be inappropriate.  Accordingly, as
described in the Note to the Historical Summary, the statement excludes
interest, depreciation, and general and administrative expenses for the
period examined, and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the
Properties revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the Historical Summary referred to above presents fairly,
in all material respects, the revenues and certain operating expenses
(exclusive of interest, depreciation and general and administrative
expenses) in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

       HISTORICAL SUMMARY OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN OPERATING EXPENSES
                          FOR VARIOUS YEAR ENDS 


Rental Income                                   $5,558,345

     Repairs and maintenance      $514,379
     Real estate taxes             385,424
     Other operating expenses      460,607       1,360,410
                                   -------       ---------

Excess of revenues over
  certain operating expenses                    $4,197,935
                                                ==========

NOTE:

The Historical Summary of Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses relates
to the operations of Sweetwater Village, Cloverdale Village, St. Mary's
Plaza, Cedartown Shopping Center, York Marketplace, Liberty Plaza and
Arlington Apartments (the "Properties") while under ownership previous to
New Plan Realty Trust.  The Properties are shopping centers except for
Arlington Apartments, a residential complex.  Although the Properties have
various fiscal year ends, the summary includes twelve months of prior
owners' operations before acquisition.

The summary has been prepared on the accrual method of accounting. 
Operating expenses include maintenance and repair expenses, utilities, real
estate taxes, insurance and certain other expenses.  In accordance with the
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, mortgage interest
expense, depreciation, and general and administrative costs have been
excluded from operating expenses, as they are dependent upon a particular
owner, purchase price or financial arrangement.

Minimum future rentals for years ended July 31 under existing commercial
operating leases at the shopping centers being reported on are
approximately as follows (in thousands):

      1995 - $5,177              1998 -      $4,098
      1996 -  4,886              1999 -       3,625
      1997 -  4,587              thereafter - 37,639



The above assumes that all leases which expire are not renewed, therefore
neither renewal rentals nor rentals from replacement tenants are included.

Minimum future rentals do not include contingent rentals which may be
received under certain leases on the basis of percentage of reported
tenants' sales volumes, increases in Consumer Price Indices, common area
maintenance charges and real estate tax reimbursement.<PAGE>

             INFORMATION PURSUANT TO RULE 3-14 REGULATION S-X

Part I    MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENT

     Management's assessment of the Properties prior to acquisition
includes, but is not limited to, the quality of the tenant base, regional
demographics, the competitive environment, operating expenses and local
property taxes.  In addition, the physical aspect of the Properties,
location, condition and quality of design and construction are evaluated. 
Management also always conducts Phase I and II environmental tests.  All
factors, when viewed in their entirety, have met management's acquisition
criteria.  Management is not aware of any material factors relating to the
acquisition other than those discussed above.

Part II   ESTIMATES OF TAXABLE OPERATING INCOME AND FUNDS GENERATED FROM
          CERTAIN PROPERTIES ACQUIRED (UNAUDITED)

a.   The following presents an estimate of taxable net income and funds
     generated from the operation of the acquired Properties for various
     year ends (all of which include twelve months of the prior owners'
     operations before acquisition by New Plan Realty Trust) based on the
     Historical Summary of Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses.  These
     estimated results do not purport to present expected results of
     operations for the Properties in the future and were prepared on the
     basis described in the accompanying notes which should be read in
     conjunction herewith.

Estimates of taxable operating income*                 (000 omitted)

Estimated taxable operating income                       $3,258

Estimates of funds generated:

*    Estimates of taxable operating income and funds generated do not
     include approximately $583,000 of revenue increases that occurred
     subsequent to the beginning of the historical years audited.<PAGE>

b.   Estimated taxable income for New Plan Realty Trust (including the
     acquired properties) for the various year ends is approximately the
     same as Pro Forma net income and Revised Pro Forma net income reported
     on the Pro Forma Condensed Statement of Income (Unaudited).<PAGE>

Basis of Presentation

     1.   Estimated depreciation was based upon an allocation of the
          purchase price to land (20%) and building (80%) with the
          depreciation being taken over a 40 year life using the straight
          line method.

     2.   No income taxes have been provided because New Plan Realty Trust
          is taxed as a real estate investment trust under the provisions
          of the Internal Revenue Code.  Accordingly, the Trust does not
          pay Federal income tax whenever income distributed to
          shareholders is equal to at least 95% of real estate investment
          trust taxable income and certain other conditions are met.<PAGE>

                 PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
                                (UNAUDITED)

     The following unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet at January
31, 1995 reflects the acquisition of the Properties as if the transaction
had occurred on that date.

     The pro forma condensed statements of income for the year ended July
31, 1994 and the six months ended January 31, 1995 assume the acquisition
of this property as if it had occurred as of August 1, 1993 and 1994,
respectively.  This pro forma information is based on the historical
statements of the Trust after giving effect to the acquisition of this
property.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements have been
prepared by New Plan Realty Trust management.  The unaudited pro forma
condensed statements of income may not be indicative of the results that
would have actually occurred had the acquisitions been made on the dates
indicated.  Also, they may not be indicative of the results that may be
achieved in the future.  The unaudited pro forma condensed financial
statements should be read in conjunction  with New Plan Realty Trust's
audited financial statements as of July 31, 1994 and for the year then
ended (which are contained in  the Trust's Form 10-K for the year ended
July 31, 1994) and the unaudited financial statements as of January 31,
1995 and for the six months then ended (which are contained in the Trust's
Form 10-Q for the period ended January 31, 1995) and the accompanying
notes.<PAGE>

    the Trust's unsecured $100 million revolving line of credit.

2.  Amounts as reported have been adjusted by historical results.  These
    adjustments to the Pro Forma Condensed Statements of Income
    (Unaudited) have the effect of reflecting the results for the year
    ended July 31, 1994 and the six months ended January 31, 1995 as if

    respectively.

    pay the purchase price of the acquisition.  The interest rate used for
    calculating the cost of borrowed funds for the year ended July 31,
    1994 and the six months ended January 31, 1995 was 6.5% which was the
    rate of interest on the Trust's revolving line of credit at January

    applicable to the mortgage obligations that were assumed upon the
    purchase of the Properties.

    July 31, 1995 include an increase in rental revenues of $583,000 and
