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

Net earnings for the three months ended March 31, 1998 were
$175,726 ($.08 per share) compared to $124,207 ($.06 per
share) for the same period in 1997.  (All per share amounts
are on a basic and diluted basis.)  Net earnings were higher
in the first quarter of 1998, compared to 1997, primarily
due to an increase in rental income, partially offset by an
increase in other administrative expenses.

Rental income for the first quarter of 1998 was $639,038
compared to $539,619 for the first quarter in 1997, an
increase of 18%.  Rental income at Southpoint Parkway Center
in Jacksonville, Florida increased by $57,000 due to higher
occupancy resulting from an existing tenant leasing an
additional 17,116 square feet.  Rental income also increased
at Corporate Center East in Bloomington, Illinois by $40,000
due to higher occupancy as a result of the Company's success
in achieving occupancy of 100%.  Rental income at Broadbent
Business Center in Salt Lake City, Utah and Germantown
Square in Louisville, Kentucky were relatively unchanged
from the prior year.  The Company's real estate portfolio
had an overall occupancy rate of 98% at March 31, 1998.

Total property expenses, excluding depreciation, decreased
from 43% of rental income in 1997 to 35% in 1998.  Wages and
salaries decreased by $5,000 due to the reduction of
property management personnel at Broadbent.  Utilities
increased by $4,000 in 1998, an increase of 12%, due to an
increase in occupancy at Southpoint.  Management fees
increased by $5,000 in 1998, an increase of 18%,
corresponding to the 18% increase in rental income.

Directors' fees and expenses increased by $9,000 due to an
increase in coverage for directors and officers insurance
and an increase in the annual premium.  Other administrative
expenses increased by $49,000 due to legal fees and mailing
costs incurred in connection with the completion of the
tender offer for all Cedar shares.

Capital resources of the Company consist of equity in real
estate investments.  In March 1998, Life Investors Insurance
Company of America exercised its right to repurchase the
entire mortgage receivable balance from the Company.  As a
result, the Company invested the proceeds in the Company's
money market fund.  The Company maintains its real estate in
good condition and provides adequate insurance coverage.
The Company's liquidity at March 31, 1998 is represented by
cash and cash equivalents and cash flow from operating
activities.  This liquidity is considered sufficient to meet
current obligations.

The Board of Directors declared a dividend of $.10 per
share, payable May 20, 1998 to shareholders of record May
10, 1998.  The Board of Directors will continue to consider
leasing prospects, operating results and the financial
condition of the Company in determining future dividends.
