ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
        ---------------------------------------------------------
        AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
        -------------------------

It should be noted that this 10-Q contains forward-looking information (as
defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) that
involves risk and uncertainty, including trends in the real estate investment
market, projected leasing and sales, and the future prospects for Registrant.
Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by such
statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

Cash on hand as of September 30, 1997 is $455,209, a decrease of $185,918
from year end December 31, 1996.  During the first nine months of 1997, the
operations of the property provided cash flow of $427,158.  The Trust paid a
dividend of $0.22 per share in each of the first two quarters, no dividend
was paid in the third quarter, and the Trust reduced the mortgage debt by
$66,315.  The Trust paid capital expenditures at the properties of $165,446
during the first nine months of 1997.  The Trust paid approximately $116,000
in legal fees during the third quarter and $61,000 in additional professional
fees in connection with the lawsuit filed by a shareholder and on proxy
solicitation and materials for a special meeting held in August.  Based on
the current cash position and the properties' ability to provide operating
cash flow, the Trust expects the properties to fund capital expenditures for
the remainder of 1997.  The anticipated capital expenditures by property are
as follows:

alterations and lease commissions.

Results of Property Operations
- ------------------------------

The results of operations for the Trust's properties for the quarters ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996 are detailed in the schedule below. Revenues and
expenses of the Trust are excluded.

Funds from Operations
- ---------------------

The white paper on Funds from Operations approved by the board of governors
of NAREIT in March 1995 defines funds from operations as net income (loss)
(computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from debt
restructuring and sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation
and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnership and
joint ventures.  The Trust computes Funds from Operations in accordance with
the standards established by the white paper which may differ from the
methodology for calculating Funds from Operations utilized by other equity
REITs, and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.  Funds
from Operations do not represent amounts available for management's
discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt
service obligations, distributions, or other commitments and uncertainties.
Funds from Operations should not be considered as an alternative to net
income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of the Trust
financial performance or to cash flows from operating activities (determined
in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Trust liquidity, nor is it
indicative of funds available to fund the Trust cash needs including its
ability


                                    -7-
<PAGE> 8

to make distributions.  The Trust believes Funds from Operations are helpful
to investors as measures of the performance of the Trust because along with
cash flows from operating activities, financing activities and investing
activities, they provide investors with an understanding of the ability of
the Trust to incur and service debt and make capital expenditures.

</TABLE>

Net income at Atrium at Alpha for the quarters ended September 30, 1997 and
1996 is $45,849 and $47,415, respectively. The decrease in net income is
attributable to an increase in expenses of $35,882, partially offset by an
increase in revenues of $34,316 due mainly to increases in rental income.
The expenses that increased were in the categories of parking lot expense,
real estate taxes and amortization.

At Franklin Park Distribution Center the net income increased $3,580 when
comparing the quarters ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.  Revenues at the
property decreased $13,000 due mainly to a decrease in real estate tax
reimbursement income.  The real estate tax reimbursement income decrease
corresponds to a decrease in the real estate tax expense.  In addition to
real estate taxes decreasing, repairs and maintenance-building and
administrative costs also decreased.

At the Applied Communications Building net income for the quarters ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996 is $44,335 and $32,603 respectively.  This
increase in net income can be attributable to an increase in revenues which
resulted from increases in base rental rate as well as escalation income and
decreases in expenses in the categories of repairs and maintenance, parking
lot and administrative expenses.Occupancy levels at the Trust's properties
during the third quarter remain at a high level. These levels can be
attributable to the Trust's ability to renew the properties major tenants as
their leases mature. The occupancy levels at September 30, 1997, 1996 and
1995 are as follows:

The leasing activity at Atrium at Alpha during the third quarter of 1997
consisted of the Trust signing one new lease for 3,200 square feet.
Occupancy increased during the quarter by 3%, ending at 96%.  The building
has two major tenants who occupy 17% and 11% of the available space under
leases which expire in July 2001 and May 1999, respectively.

Franklin Park Distribution Center currently is fully leased by two tenants.
The larger of the two tenants occupies approximately 57% of the building
while the other tenant occupies approximately 43% of the building. The leases
expire in December 1999 and June 1998, respectively.

The Applied Communications Building has a single tenant who occupies the
entire building. The tenant's lease expires August 1999.

1997 Comparisons
- ----------------
The Trust's consolidated revenues for the quarter ended and nine month period
ended September 30, 1997 are $785,095 and $2,278,877, respectively, which
represents an increase of $27,295 and $77,365 when compared to the results of
the same periods ended September 30, 1996.

The increase in revenues for the quarter ended and nine month period ended
can be attributable to increases in base rental income at both The Atrium At
Alpha Business Center and Applied Communications Building as well as
increases in escalation income at both of these properties, offset by
decreases in real estate tax reimbursement income at Franklin Park
Distribution Center.

Consolidated expenses were $913,773 and $2,468,520 for the quarter ended and
nine month period ended September 30, 1997, respectively.  For the same
periods ended September 30, 1996, consolidated expenses were $694,394 and
$2,084,326, respectively.  Consolidated expenses increased $219,379 and
$384,194 when comparing the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
1997 to the prior same periods.

The increase in consolidated expenses for the three month period ended
September 30, 1997 can be attributable to an increase in professional
services ($175,814), office expense ($22,068), and other operating expenses
($15,836), partially offset by a decrease in real estate taxes ($9,421).  The
increase in expenses relates to professional service fees incurred in
connection with the lawsuit filed against the Trust by one of its
shareholders.  Legal fees during the quarter amounted to approximately
$116,000.  In addition, a proxy solicitation firm was hired in connection
with the proxy fight for the special meeting held August 8, 1997.  The proxy
solicitor fees and costs for the special inspector for the meeting were
approximately $61,000.  Office expense increased due to higher printing and
mailing costs for the numerous items sent to shareholders during the proxy
solicitation period.  Real estate taxes decreased at the Franklin Park
Distribution Center.  Consolidated expenses for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1997 can be attributable to an increase in professional
services ($309,544), office expense ($18,214), and other operating expenses
($40,478), offset by a decrease in real estate taxes ($20,074).  The reasons
for the increase for the changes in expense levels for the nine month period
ended are the same as those stated above for the three month period ended
September 30, 1997.

1996 Comparisons
- ----------------

As of September 30, 1996, the Trust's consolidated revenues for the quarter
ended and nine month period ended were $757,800 and $2,201,512, respectively,
which represents increases of $24,722 and $57,687 when compared to the
results of the same periods ended September 30, 1995.


                                    -9-
<PAGE> 10

The increase in revenues for the quarter ended can be attributed to increases
in rental income and real estate tax recovery income. Rental income increased
$14,486 due to the Trust's ability to increase rental rates on lease renewals
and new leases at Atrium at Alpha and the rent step-ups for the single tenant
user at Applied Communications Building. Tax recovery income increased
$14,417 due to an increase in real estate taxes at Franklin Park Distribution
Center. As the property's real estate taxes increase any increase in the
expense is directly passed through to the two tenants resulting in a
corresponding increase in the real estate tax recovery income.

The increase in revenues for the nine month periods ended can be attributed
to increases in rental income, tax recovery income and interest income offset
by decreases in expense recovery income and rent concessions. The increases
in rental income and tax recovery income can be attributed to the same
factors discussed when analyzing the quarterly results in the previous
paragraph. The increase in interest income relates to the Trust's ability to
better manage and obtain higher yields on the existing cash reserves.  The
decrease in expense recovery income can be attributed to a decrease in
recoverable expenses from 1994 to 1995.  As recoverable expenses decrease
from year to year, the Trust's ability to pass through expenses becomes
limited to the respective tenants' expense base year.

Consolidated expenses are $694,394 and $2,084,326 for the quarter ended and
nine month period ended September 30, 1996, respectively. For the same
periods ended September 30, 1995 consolidated expenses were $685,070 and
$2,024,194, respectively. Consolidated expenses increased $9,324 and $60,132
when comparing the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 to
1995.

The increase in consolidated expenses for the nine month periods ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 relate to increases in real estate taxes
($53,438) and other operating expenses ($12,325). The increase in real estate
taxes can be attributed to an increase in the property assessment and tax
rates at Franklin Park Distribution Center and Atrium at Alpha. The increase
in operating expenses relates to several expense categories and they are as
follows: parking lot expenditures ($11,774), administrative costs ($7,266)
and repairs and maintenance ($6,884). These increase are offset by a decrease
in professional services ($12,849).

Inflation
- ---------

The effects of inflation did not have a material impact upon the Trust's
operations.

II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
- --------------------------

On June 5, 1997, KelCor, Inc., a shareholder of the Trust ("KelCor"), brought
a lawsuit against the Trust in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County,
Missouri.  The lawsuit sought, among other things, (1) a declaratory judgment
that shares in excess of 9.8% of the outstanding shares of the Trust held by
Physicians Insurance Company of Ohio, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "PICO
Group") are "Excess Shares" as defined in Section 8.8 of the Trust's bylaws
and therefor not entitled to vote or be considered in determining the
presence of a quorum on any matter on which the Trust's shares are entitled
to vote, and (2) an injunction to enjoin the Trust from, among other things,
soliciting or voting any proxies in connection with, or conducting, any
annual or special meeting of shareholders.

On June 24, 1997 the Trust entered into a Settlement Agreement relating to
the foregoing lawsuit.  In the Settlement Agreement the Trust agreed to,
among other things, postpone its Annual Meeting of Shareholders previously
called for July 3, 1997, and to call a Special Meeting of Shareholders to
vote on an amendment to Section 8.8 of the bylaws to settle the Excess Shares
issues (which required the affirmative vote of 62% of the outstanding shares
of the trust).  The Trust held a Special Meeting of Shareholders on August 8,
1997 in Clayton, Missouri (the "Special Meeting").  The proposal did not
obtain sufficient votes for passage of the amendment to the bylaws.  See
"Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders."

On August 27, 1997, KelCor voluntarily dismissed, without prejudice, its
lawsuit against the Trust.

On September 8, 1997, KelCor filed a Petition in Mandamus in the Circuit
Court of St. Louis County, State of Missouri, seeking to force the Trust to
hold an Annual Meeting of Shareholders on or before October 31, 1997.  The
Trust contests KelCor's right to the Mandamus relief sought and has answered
KelCor's Petition and asserted affirmative defenses.  The Court has set a
hearing on KelCor's Petition for December 1, 1997.

On September 18, 1997, the Trust filed its Petition For Declaratory Relief in
the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri, at Kansas City, against David
L. Johnson, et al, seeking a judicial determination of whether there are any
Excess Shares as defined by Section 8.8 of the Trust's bylaws and related
issues concerning ownership of certain shares of the Trust.  The Trust is
conducting discovery against the defendants.  No trial date has been set for
this case.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
- -------------------------------------------------------------

On August 8, 1997, the Trust held a Special Meeting of Shareholders in
Clayton, Missouri, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement described in Item 1,
to vote on an amendment to Section 8.8 of the bylaws, that would, among other
things, suspend application and enforcement of the Bylaws in such a way as to
clarify that the shares held by the PICO Group were not Excess Shares.

The affirmative vote of 62% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Trust
was required to amend the bylaws in the foregoing manner.  The final
certified vote showed the following results<F1>:

Because only approximately 45.4% of the issued and outstanding shares voted
in favor of the proposal, the proposal failed.

[FN]

<F1> The voting results provided include both votes cast on the proxy card
solicited by the Trust's management and the proxy card solicited by the
"Committee to Increase Shareholder Value at Nooney Realty Trust, Inc."  The
results do not include an aggregate of 8,303 votes which were not counted for
purposes of the bylaw amendment proposal because of various difficulties in
determining the genuine voting intention of those provided such proxy cards.
