                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT 

We have audited the accompanying Historical Summary of Combined Revenues and
Certain Operating Expenses of Bethel Park Plaza, Regency Park Shopping Center,
Westridge Court Shopping Center and Hillcrest Apartments (the "Properties") for
the year ended October 31, 1996.  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.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the Historical Summary is free of material misstate-
ment. 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 COMBINED REVENUES AND CERTAIN OPERATING EXPENSES
                         OF CERTAIN PROPERTIES ACQUIRED
                       FOR THE YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1996
                                 (IN THOUSANDS)   


Rental income                                               $10,159

     Repairs and maintenance                      $   591
     Real estate taxes                              1,299
     Other operating expenses                         552     2,442

Excess of revenues over certain operating expenses          $ 7,717


NOTE:

The Historical Summary of Combined Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses
relates to the operation of Bethel Park Plaza, Regency Park Shopping Center,
Westridge Court Shopping Center and Hillcrest Apartments (the "Properties")
while under ownership previous to New Plan Realty Trust.  The properties are all
shopping centers, except Hillcrest Apartments.

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 shopping centers being reported on are approximately as
follows (in thousands):


          1998           $8,734       2001                $ 6,268
          1999            8,579       2002                  3,989
          2000            7,952       Thereafter           46,541

The above assumes that all leases which expire are not renewed, therefore,
neither renewal rentals nor rental 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, increase in the Consumer Price Indices, common area maintenance charges
and real estate tax reimbursement.

               INFORMATION PURSUANT TO RULE 3-14 OF REGULATION S-X

Part I    MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENT

          Management's assessment of the four 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 four 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 operating income and
          funds generated from the operation of the acquired four properties for
          the year ended July 31, 1996 based on the Historical Summary of
          Combined Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses.  These estimated
          results do not purport to present expected results of operations for
          the four properties in the future and were prepared on the basis
          described in the accompanying notes which should be read in
          conjunction herewith.

         properties) for the year ended July 31, 1996 and the nine months ended

         reported on the Pro Forma Condensed Statements of Income (Unaudited).

                                   (UNAUDITED)

Basis of Presentation

  1.     Depreciation expense was based upon an estimated useful life of 40
         years 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.

                                   (UNAUDITED)


  The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the
year ended July 31, 1996 and the nine months ended April 30, 1997 reflect the
acquisition of the four properties as if the transactions and other acquisitions
made during the year had occurred on August 1, 1995.  This pro forma information
is based on the historical statement of the Trust after giving effect to the
acquisition of these properties.

  The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
April 30, 1997 reflects the acquisition of the four properties and other
acquisitions previously reported as if the acquisition had occurred on that
date.  

  The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by New Plan Realty Trust management.  The unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated statements of income may not be indicative of the results that
would have actually occurred had the acquisitions been made on the date
indicated or 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,
1996 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, 1996).

1.   Pro Forma Adjustments to the Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of
     April 30, 1997 reflect the acquisition of the four properties and other
     acquisitions previously reported after April 30, 1997 using increased
     borrowings. 

2.   Pro Forma Adjustments to the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated
     Statements of Income for the year ended July 31, 1996 and for the nine
     months ended April 30, 1997 include adjustments to reflect the acquisition
     of the four current acquisitions and the previously reported acquired
     properties as if they had been acquired on August 1, 1995  (See Note 3.)  
     For the year ended July 31, 1996 and the nine months ended April 30, 1997,
     these adjustments include an increase in interest expense due to the
     increase in mortgages and notes payable to finance these acquisitions. 
     The interest rate used was approximately 6.75% on the assumed mortgages
     and 5.9% on the notes payable.  

3.   Depreciation expense was based upon an estimated useful life of 40 years 
     using the straight line method.

4.   Refer to Form 8-K dated November 4, 1996, Form 8-K dated January 6, 1997,
     Form 8-K dated June 18, 1997 and Form 8-K dated June 30, 1997 for
     previously reported acquisitions.

5.   Other adjustments reflects revenue from leases that commenced after the
     year ended October 31, 1996.
