                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
                          ----------------------------

We have audited the accompanying Historical Summary of Revenues and Certain
Operating Expenses of Eastgreen on the Commons Apartments (the "Property") for
the year ended September 30, 1997. 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 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 Property's 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.

NOTES:

The Historical Summary of Revenues and certain Operating Expenses relates to the
operation of Eastgreen on the Commons Apartments (the "Property") while under
ownership previous to New Plan Realty Trust. The Property is a residential
apartment complex.

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.

NOTE:

The Historical Summary of Combined Revenues and certain Operating Expenses
relates to the operation of Brice Park Shopping Center, Colonial Marketplace,
Lake Drive Plaza, Tinton Falls Plaza, Hunting Hills Shopping Center, and
Southfield Plaza (the "Properties") while under ownership previous to New Plan
Realty Trust.

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 are approximately as follows
(in thousands):

          1998          $ 3,094          2001            $ 5,167

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
          2000            5,603          Thereafter       17,997

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

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


Part I            MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENT

                  Management's assessment of the seven 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 seven 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 unaudited statement is a Pro Forma estimate for
                  a twelve month period of taxable income and funds available
                  from operations. The Pro Forma statement is based on the
                  Trust's historical operating results for the year ended July
                  31, 1998 adjusted for the historical operations of the seven
                  acquired properties. These estimated results do not purport to
                  present expected results of operations for the seven
                  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.  Depreciation expense was based upon an estimated useful life of 39 years
        for commercial properties and 27.5 years for residential properties
        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, 1997 and the six months ended January 31, 1998 reflect the
acquisition of the seven properties as if the transactions and other
acquisitions made during the year had occurred on August 1, 1996. 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
January 31, 1998 reflects the acquisition of the five properties acquired after
January 31, 1998 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,
1997 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, 1997).

                  PRO FORMA RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
                  --------------------------------------------

    The following table sets forth the ratio of earnings to fixed charges and
preferred stock dividend requirements for the periods indicated:

                                               Six Months Ended
                        1997                   January 31, 1998
                        ----                   ----------------

                        3.3                     3.0

    For the 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.

                    NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
                        FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


1.      Pro Forma Adjustments to the Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of
        January 31, 1998 reflect the acquisition of the five properties acquired
        after January 31, 1998 using cash and assuming mortgage notes payable.

2.      Pro Forma Adjustments to the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated
        Statements of Income for the year ended July 31, 1997 and for the six
        months ended January 31, 1998 include adjustments to reflect the
        acquisition of the seven current acquisitions and the previously
        reported acquired properties as if they had been acquired on August 1,
        1996 (See Note 4).

        For the year ended July 31, 1997 and the six months ended January 31,
        1998, these adjustments include an increase in interest expense and a
        reduction in interest and dividend income. These adjustments were made
        because of the assumption of mortgages payable and the use of cash to
        complete the acquisition of these properties. The interest rate used was
        approximately 8.1% on the assumed mortgages and 5.0% on the reduction in
        average investments.

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 January 23, 1998 for previously reported
        acquisitions.

5.      Other adjustments reflects revenue from leases that commenced during or
        after the audit period.
