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

         Financial Condition

         There have been no significant changes in the Trust's liquidity or
         financial condition since December 31, 1998 other than debt payments
         and dividend payments. At present, there are no large capital
         expenditures planned that would present a liquidity problem.

         Results of Operations - Six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to
         three months ended June 30, 1998.

         Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 increased
         approximately 46% as compared to the same period in 1998. Rental income
         increased due to higher rental rates and the acquisition of new rental
         property in the fourth quarter of 1998.

         Expenses related to real estate held for rental increased during the
         second quarter of 1999 compared to the second quarter of 1998 as a
         result of acquiring new property during the fourth quarter of 1998.
         Included in general and administrative expenses for the six months
         ended June 30, 1999 was $13,000 for rent receivable, which management
         deemed uncollectible.

         Year 2000 Compliance Issues

         The Trust has established a plan to address Year 2000 issues.
         Successful implementation of this plan will eliminate any extraordinary
         expenses related to Year 2000 issue. The Trust has purchased software
         updates from its sole data processing vendor which are Year 200
         compliant.  The Trust has a reasonable basis to conclude that the Year
         2000 issues will not materially affect future financial results, or
         cause reported financial information not to be necessarily indicative
         of future operating results or future financial condition.
