          New Plan Realty Trust (the "Trust") entered into a contract, as
amended, to purchase the eight shopping centers listed below (the
"Properties").  The acquisition of seven of the Properties occurred on
December 11, 1995.  The Trust anticipates that the acquisition of the
eighth Property, Westland Crossing, located in Westland, Michigan, will
occur in approximately 60 days from the date of this Form 8-K/A.  Upon
completion of the acquisitions, the aggregate purchase price of the
Properties will be approximately $117 million, payable (i) $95.5 million in
cash, a portion of which was obtained from the Trust's November 1995 
public offering of 4,060,000 shares of beneficial interest, and (ii) 
$21.5 million by assuming an existing mortgage.  

     Delta Center, Lansing, MI

     the United States Bankruptcy Code.  The purchase contract for the
     acquisition provides that if the Bradlee's lease is rejected in
     bankruptcy, the aggregate purchase price for the acquisition will be
     reduced by $1.2 million.

     occupied.  
     The principal tenants are:  Marshall's and Franks.
     The Seller is: Dean Witter Realty Income Partnership III, L.P.

     As a result of the acquisition of the Properties, the properties of
the Trust as to which there are no audited financial statements, now exceed
10% of the total assets of the Trust.  Therefore, audited statements of
revenue and certain operating expenses for the year ended July 31, 1995 and
pro forma financial information reflecting the acquisition of the
Properties are included in this 8-K/A - Amendment No. 2.

                       INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

We have audited the accompanying Historical Summary of Revenues and Certain
Operating Expenses of Wallkill Plaza, Midway Crossing, Delta Center,
Fashion Corners, Westland Crossing, Farmington Crossroads, Hall Road
Crossing, and Hampton Village Centre (the "Properties") for the year ended
July 31, 1995.  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.

NOTE:

The Historical Summary of Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses relates
to the operations of Wallkill Plaza, Midway Crossing, Delta Center, Fashion
Corners, Westland Crossing, Farmington Crossroads, Hall Road Crossing, and
Hampton Village Centre (the "Properties") while under ownership previous to
New Plan Realty Trust.  All of the Properties are shopping centers.

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

        1996 -  $11,949              1999 -  $8,489
        1997 -   10,244              2000 -   7,432
        1998 -    9,136        thereafter -  45,185

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.

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 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 the year
     ended July 31, 1995 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.

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.

          PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
                                (UNAUDITED)

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

     The pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the year
ended July 31, 1995 and the three months ended October 31, 1995 reflect the
acquisition of the Properties as if the transaction had occurred on August
1, 1994.  This pro forma information is based on the historical statements
of the Trust after giving effect to the acquisition of the Properties.

     The acquisition cost was financed by the assumption of a mortgage of
$21.5 million, the proceeds from a public offering of shares of beneficial
interest registered under a shelf registration statement and for which a
prospectus supplement has been filed, and cash on hand.

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

                     FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


1.  Represents the acquisition of the Properties for cash to be obtained
    from the issuance (the "Offering") by the Trust of 4,060,000 shares of 
    beneficial interest at a price of $20.00 per share, net of
    offering costs (based on an offering price of $21.25 per share (the
    closing price of the shares of beneficial interest on the New
    York Stock Exchange on November 8, 1995)), pursuant to the Trust's
    Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3, as amended (Registration No.
    33-61383), the assumption of existing debt in connection with the
    purchase of two of the Properties, and cash on hand.

2.  Amounts as reported have been adjusted by historical results.

3.  Pro Forma Adjustments to the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
    Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended July 31, 1995 and
    the three months ended October 31, 1995 include adjustments to
    interest income and interest and depreciation expense to reflect the
    acquisition of the Properties as if they had been acquired on August
    1, 1994. (See Notes 4 and 5.)

4.  Pro Forma Adjustments to the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
    Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended July 31, 1995 and
    for the three months ended October 31, 1995 include interest expense
    relating to the mortgages being used to finance a portion of the
    purchase price and a reduction in interest income due to the use of
    cash on hand.  The interest rate used for calculating the interest
    expense was 9.375%, representing the interest rate on the mortgages. 
    The interest rate used for calculating the reduction in interest
    income was 4%, representing the average rate of interest earned on the
    Trust's cash balances.

5.  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.
