     The accompanying unaudited financial statements, which are for interim
     periods, do not include all disclosures provided in the annual financial

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

            Financial Condition

            There have been no changes in the Trust's liquidity or financial
            condition since December 31, 1996. At present, there are no large
            capital expenditures planned that would present a liquidity problem.

            Results of Operations - Six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to
            six months ended June 30, 1996.

            Income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997
            increased approximately 18% as compared to the same period in 1996.
            Rental income increased 8% as a result of a number of lease renewal
            options being exercised at an increased base rent.

            Depreciation, interest expense and property taxes remained
            relatively stable in 1997 as compared to the first six months of
            1996. Repairs and maintenance increased $8,300 due primarily to roof
            repairs on various properties during 1997.
