PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.         Financial Statements

		Unaudited Condensed Balance Sheet at September 30, 1995

		Unaudited Condensed Statements of Income and Undistributed 
		Earnings for the Three Months and Nine Months Ended September
		30, 1995 and 1994

		Unaudited Condensed Statement of Cash Flows for the Nine Months
		Ended September 30, 1995 and 1994

		Unaudited Note to Interim Financial Statements

Item 2.         Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
		Results of Operations

		Financial Condition

		During the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Trust sold
		property located in Valdosta, Georgia for $332,500, and 
		recorded a gain for financial reporting purposes.  For income 
		tax purposes, the sale of the property will be included as part
		of a tax-free exchange and subject to neither Federal nor state
		income taxes.  The Trust acquired property in Columbia, South
		Carolina for $745,000 to complete this exchange.  This purchase
		was partially financed by a bank loan of $445,000 with a 
		monthly payment of $4,395 for 5 years at 8.55% interest rate,
		with the remaining balance due at that time.

		Other than described above, there have been no significant
		changes in the Trust's liquidity or financial condition since
		December 31, 1994.  At present, there are no large capital
		expenditures planned that would present a liquidity problem.

<PAGE>





		Results of Operations

		Income from operations for the first nine months of 1995 
		increased by approximately 21% as compared to the same period
		in 1994.  Rental income increased 13% as a result of the Trust
		acquiring new rental properties during the fourth quarter of
		1994, and a number of lease renewal options being exercised at
		an increased base rent.  Other revenue increased approximately
		$19 thousand due to an increase in interest revenue earned on
		a note receivable issued by the Trust during September 1994
		when it sold one of its properties.

		Interest expense has increased approximately 48% due to the
		Trust financing a portion of the rental properties acquired in
		1994, and the interest rates on notes payable increased
		approximately 2% during the current year.

		Gain on the sale of real estate increased $42 thousand as a
		result of the sale of the Valdosta, Georgia property described
		above.
