NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note A:
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial

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 periods ended October 31, 1997 and 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Trust's latest annual report on Form 10-K.

State and local income taxes paid for the three months ended
October 31, 1997 and 1996 were $81,000 and $0, respectively.

1996 was $8,852,000 and $5,260,000, respectively.
Note C: Provision for Doubtful Accounts

three months ended October 31, 1997 and 1996, recoveries were
$10,000 and $16,000, respectively.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
I. Liquidity and Capital Resources
On October 31, 1997 the Trust had approximately $11.0
million in available cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities.
During the three month period ended October 31, 1997, the
Trust paid approximately $37.7 million to acquire three
shopping centers (479,000 gross leasable square feet) and
two apartment properties (604 units).
Debt at October 31, 1997 consisted of $65.0 million of
mortgages payable and $412.7 million of notes payable.
In November 1997 the Trust renewed its unsecured revolving
credit agreement with The Bank of New York which provides
for up to $50 million in borrowing through November 1998.
There are restrictive covenants that limit total
indebtedness to 50% of total capitalization, and mortgage
debt to 40% of total capitalization. The credit agreement
also requires a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2 to 1
and a minimum tangible net worth of $500 million.
The Trust's dividend reinvestment program provided $4.3
million during the three month period ended October 31,
1997. In addition, the Trust made dividend distributions of
$22.7 million to shareholders and paid $6.0 million for
improvements to existing properties.
Funds from operations applicable to shares of beneficial
interest, defined as net income plus depreciation and
amortization of real estate plus losses from asset sales
less preferred stock dividends, increased $2.8 million to
$27.6 million ($.47/share) from $24.8 million ($.43/share)
in the prior year's comparable three month period.
<PAGE>
II. Results of operations for the three months ended October 31,
1997 and 1996
A. Revenues
Total revenues increased approximately $11.7 million to
$59.5 million. The increase came primarily as a result
of the acquisition of 34 properties since July 1996 and
the opening of the Six Flags Factory Outlet in the
Spring of 1997.
B. Operating Expenses
Operating costs and leasehold rents increased
approximately $3.5 million to $15.2 million, reflecting
the acquisition of properties.
Real estate and other taxes increased approximately $.8
million to $5.2 million. The principal reason for this
increase was the larger portfolio of properties.
Interest expense increased approximately $2.7 million
to $8.6 million. This increase was due to the
issuance, since October 1996 of $164 million of notes
which were used to fund the Trust's property
acquisition program.
Depreciation and amortization of properties increased
approximately $1.8 million to $7.5 million. This
increase was the result of the acquisition of
properties.
Provision for doubtful accounts, net of recoveries,
increased $288,000 to $855,000. This was due to an
increase in delinquencies and a higher level of
revenue.
C. Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses as a percent of revenue was
constant at 1% compared to last year's comparable
period.
III. New Accounting Standards
During 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards: (i) No. 128
"Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128"), which will be effective
for financial statements for both interim and annual periods
ending after December 15, 1997, (ii) No. 129 "Disclosure of
Information About Capital Structure" ("SFAS 129"), which is
effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1997,
(iii) No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"),
which is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997,
and (iv) No. 131 "Disclosures About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131"), which is
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
Management believes that the implementation of SFAS 128, 129
and 130 will not have a material impact on the Trust's
financial statements. The Trust has yet to determine the
impact of SFAS 131.

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
The ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the three months
ended October 31, 1997 is: 3.0
For purposes of computing these ratios, earnings have been
calculated by adding fixed charges (excluding capitalized
interest) to income before extraordinary items. Fixed charges
consist of interest costs, whether expensed or capitalized,
preferred stock dividend requirements, the interest component of
rental expense, if any, and amortization of debt discounts and
issue costs, whether expensed or capitalized.
