                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                ------------------------------------------

Note A:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared by the Trust pursuant to the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, in the opinion of the Trust, include all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a
fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash
flows in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules.  The
Trust believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading.  The consolidated statements of
income for the three month and nine month periods ended April 30, 1996 and
1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full
year.  It is suggested that these financial statements be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Trust's latest annual report on Form 10-K.

Note E:  Impact of New Accounting Statement

In October 1995 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued its

currently evaluating the impact of this statement.

        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


I.   Liquidity and Capital Resources

     On April 30, 1996 the Trust had $25.6 million in available cash, cash
     equivalents and marketable securities.

     During the nine month period ended April 30, 1996, the Trust paid
     approximately $119.8 million to acquire nine shopping centers (1.8
     million gross leasable square feet) and two apartment properties (520
     units).  In November 1995 the Trust sold a shopping center in Chinoe,
     Kentucky for approximately $3.1 million.

     Debt at April 30, 1996 consisted of $44.8 million of mortgages payable
     and Senior Notes payable of $179.5 million.

     The dividend reinvestment program provided $11.5 million during the
     nine month period ended April 30, 1996.  In addition, the Trust made
     dividend distributions of $58.6 million to shareholders and spent
     $10.0 million in expansion and improvements to properties.

     Funds from operations, defined as net income plus depreciation and
     amortization of real estate less gains from asset sales, increased
     $8.1 million to $65.9 million ($1.18/share) from $57.8 million
     ($1.10/share) in the prior year's comparable nine month period.

     In November 1995 the Trust issued 4,060,000 Shares of Beneficial
     Interest.  Proceeds, net of commissions and offering costs, were $81.2
     million.


II.  Results of operations for the nine months ended April 30, 1996 and
     1995

     A.   Revenues

          Rental income and related revenues increased $26.6 million to
          $118.7 million.  The increase came primarily from properties
          which were acquired during the nine months ended April 30, 1996
          or were owned less than the full nine months ended April 30,
          1995.  In addition, there was an increase in revenues in all
          categories of properties owned in both periods. 

          Interest and dividend income increased $1.3 million to $4.0
          million.  This was a result of higher investment balances in the
          current period.

     B.   Operating Expenses

          Operating costs and leasehold rents increased $7.1 million to
          $29.1 million.  The increase was due primarily to the acquisition
          of properties.

          Real estate and other taxes increased $2.5 million to $11.3
          million.  The increase was due primarily to the acquisition of
          properties.

          Interest expense increased approximately $9.1 million to $12.9
          million.  The increase was due primarily to the issuance of
          Senior Notes payable in the second half of fiscal 1995 which were
          used to fund the Trust's property acquisition program.

          Depreciation and amortization of properties increased $3.7
          million to $14.6 million.  The increase was due primarily to the
          acquisition of properties and the additional amortization
          resulting from increased spending on tenant alterations.

          Provision for doubtful accounts, net of recoveries, increased
          $708,000 to $1,388,000.  The increase was due to higher
          provisions for possibly uncollectible amounts.


     C.   Administrative Expenses

          Administrative expenses are 1.7% of total revenues compared to
          1.8% for the prior period.  The increase of $401,000 is primarily
          due to higher personnel costs.


     D.   Gain/(Loss) on the Sale of Property and Securities

          Gains on the sale of property increased by $412,000.  During the
          current period the Trust sold a shopping center in Chinoe,
          Kentucky and recorded a loss from the sale of a single tenant
          property in New Bern, North Carolina which was completed in May
          1996.  There were no sales in the preceding year's comparable
          period.  Also during the current period certain marketable debt
          securities were called resulting in a loss of $131,000.  There
          were no sales of securities resulting in gains or losses in the
          preceding year's comparable period.

III. Results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 1996 and
     1995

     A.   Revenues

          Rental income and related revenues increased $10.6 million to
          $42.3 million.  The increase came primarily from properties which
          were acquired during the three months ended April 30, 1996 or
          were owned less than the full three months ended January 31,
          1995.  In addition, there was an increase in revenues in all
          categories of properties owned in both periods.

     B.   Operating Expenses

          Operating costs and leasehold rents increased $3.3 million to
          $10.5 million.  The increase was due primarily to the acquisition
          of properties.

          Real estate and other taxes increased approximately $1.0 million
          to $4.1 million.  The increase was due primarily to the
          acquisition of properties.

          Interest expense increased approximately $2.3 million to $4.5
          million.  The increase was due primarily to the issuance of
          Senior Notes payable in the second half of fiscal 1995 which were
          used to fund the Trust's property acquisition program.

          Depreciation and amortization of properties increased $1.5
          million to $5.3 million.  The increase was due primarily to the
          acquisition of properties and the additional amortization
          resulting from a higher level of spending on tenant alterations.

          Provision for doubtful accounts, net of recoveries, increased
          $343,000 to $654,000.  The increase is due to higher provisions
          for possibly uncollectible amounts.

     C.   Administrative Expenses

          Administrative costs for the current period are 1.6% of revenues,
          a decrease from the prior period's 1.7%.

     D.   Gain/(Loss) on the Sale of Securities 

          Loss on the sale of securities increased by $132,000. This was
          because certain marketable debt securities were called resulting
          in a loss.  There were no sales of securities resulting in gains
          or losses in the preceding year's comparable period.  A loss was
          recorded due to the sale of a single tenant property in New Bern,
          North Carolina which was completed in May 1996.  There were no
          losses in the preceding year's comparable period.
