terminated  on July 17,  1987 with total  proceeds  raised of  $10,889,000  less
offering  costs  of  $1,505,000.  As of  the  close  of the  offering,  Property
Resources  Inc., (the "Advisor") had purchased 1,000 shares of the Fund's Series
B common stock for $10,000 cash.

The Fund is a real estate  investment trust ("REIT") and elected REIT status for
income  tax  purposes  for the tax years  commencing  1988.  Under the  Internal
Revenue  Code and  applicable  state  income  tax law, a  qualified  REIT is not
subject  to  income  tax if at least  95% of its  taxable  income  is  currently
distributed  to its  stockholders  and other tests are met.  The Fund intends to
distribute  substantially all of its taxable income in the future.  Accordingly,
no provision is made for income taxes in these financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION
- ------------

Management's  discussion  and  analysis of  financial  condition  and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes
thereto.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995

Net income for the six month period ended June 30, 1996  increased  $92,000,  or
85%,  as compared to 1995  primarily  due to gain on sale of rental  property of
$88,000.

Total revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 increased $85,000, or
15%, compared to the same period in 1995. The increase is primarily attributable
to an increase in gain on sale of rental property of $88,000 partially offset by
a decrease in rental  revenue of  $11,000,  as a result of the sale of the Agora
Office Building in April, 1996.

Total expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 decreased $7,000, or
2%, from  $463,000 in 1995 to $456,000 in 1996.  The decrease in total  expenses
primarily  resulted from a decrease in interest  expense of $16,000,  reflecting
interest rate changes on the  outstanding  note payable.  Explanations  of other
material changes in total expenses are as follows:

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $9,000 reflecting the expense of
the remaining balance of Agora Office Building's  unamortized leasing commission
as a result of the sale of the property.

General and administrative  expense increased $8,000 aa a result of increases in
audit fee and legal expenses.

RELATED PARTY EXPENSES
The Fund has  entered  into an  agreement  with the  Advisor to  administer  the
day-to-day operations of the Fund. For the six month period ended June 30, 1996,
the Fund  recorded  $10,000 of advisory fee expense to the Advisor in accordance
with the Advisory Agreement.

The Fund's  properties  are  managed by  Continental  Property  Management  Co.,
("CPMC"),  an affiliate of the Advisor.  For the six month period ended June 30,
1996,  the Fund recorded  $18,000 of property  management fee expense to CPMC in
accordance with the Property Management Agreement.

The Fund's Board of Directors (including all of its Independent  Directors) have
determined,  after review, that the compensation paid to the Advisor and to CPMC
referenced above, as well as the expense  reimbursements made by the Fund to the
Advisor reflected in Note 3 to the accompanying  financial statements,  are fair
and reasonable to the Fund.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Fund's  principal  sources of capital for the  acquisition and renovation of
property and for working  capital  reserves  have been proceeds from the initial
offering of its common stock and from cash flow after payment of distributions.

At June 30, 1996, cash and cash equivalents  totaled $741,000 and investments in
mortgage-backed securities totaled $191,000.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)
- -------------------------------

As of June 30,  1996,  one of the  Fund's  properties  was  subject  to  secured
financing  with an  outstanding  balance of  $2,750,000.  Otherwise,  the Fund's
properties  are owned free of  indebtedness.  Interest on the note  accrues at a
variable  rate which is based on a certain bond index.  The interest rate is not
subject to a minimum or maximum rate of interest.

On June 30, 1996,  the interest rate was 6.77%.  In certain  circumstances,  the
payments due may be less than accrued  interest.  Any resulting accrued interest
bears  interest at the then current  rate.  The note is due in full in December,
1996.

On April 16, 1996,  the Fund sold the Agora Office  Building to an  unaffiliated
buyer for a total sales  price of  $850,000.  The total  sales price  included a
$750,000  promissory  note ( the  "Note" ) payable  to the Fund,  secured by the
Property and tenant rents.  The terms of the Note include a 7% interest  rate, a
two year term and monthly principal and interest payments of $5,815. The Note is
non-recourse to the other assets of the buyer.

In the  short-term  and in the  long-term,  management  believes that the Fund's
current  sources  of  capital  will  continue  to be  adequate  to meet both its
operating requirements and the payment of distributions.

IMPACT OF INFLATION
- -------------------
The Fund's management  believes that inflation may have a positive effect on the
Fund's property portfolio,  but this effect generally will not be fully realized
until such  properties  are sold or exchanged.  The Fund's policy of negotiating
leases which incorporate operating expense "pass-through" provisions is intended
to protect the Fund against increased operating costs resulting from inflation.

DISTRIBUTIONS
- -------------
Distributions  are  declared  quarterly  at  the  discretion  of  the  Board  of
Directors.  The  Fund's  present  distribution  policy  is to at least  annually
evaluate the current  distribution rate in light of anticipated  tenant turnover
over the next two or three years, the estimated level of associated improvements
and  leasing  commissions,   planned  capital  expenditures,  any  debt  service
requirements and the Fund's other working capital requirements.  After balancing
these  considerations,  and  considering  the Fund's earnings and cash flow, the
level of its  liquid  reserves  and other  relevant  factors,  the Fund seeks to
establish a distribution rate which:

          i)   provides a stable distribution which is sustainable despite short
               term fluctuations in property cash flows;
          ii)  maximizes  the  amount  of cash  flow  paid out as  distributions
               consistent with the above listed objective; and
          iii) complies with the Internal  Revenue Code  requirement that a REIT
               annually  pay  out as  distributions  not  less  than  95% of its
               taxable income.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 1996, the Fund declared distributions
totaling $196,000.
