One partnership in which the Registrant is a general partner, and has control as
provided in the partnership agreement, has been consolidated for financial
statement presentation. All of the assets and liabilities are included in the
consolidated financial statements at 100%. The minority partner's interest is
35%.

3.  DISTRIBUTIONS:

The Trust anticipates declaring a distribution on April 15, 1997 at its
regularly scheduled Trustees meeting. The per share amount declared in the
comparable period in fiscal 1996 for distribution was as follows:

4. CASH FLOW INFORMATION:

Cash paid for interest was $2,138,000 and $2,429,000 for the three months ended
February 28, 1997 and February 29, 1996, and $4,482,000 and $4,943,000 for the
six months ended February 28, 1997 and February 29, 1996, respectively.

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

Environmental matters have arisen at certain properties in which the Registrant
has an interest for which reserves have previously been established. During the
six months ended February 28, 1997, the Registrant advanced funds totaling
$6,000 which were recorded against the previously established reserves.

The Registrant has been named as a defendant in a suit brought by persons and
their affiliates who are partners of the Registrant in three partnerships. The
Registrant is vigorously defending the suit and has denied the plaintiffs'
allegations. The Registrant also believes that it has viable claims against
certain of the same partners (or their affiliates) which it is asserting. As the
pleadings are not yet closed and discovery is still in the preliminary stages,
it is not possible to judge the ultimate outcome of these suits at this time.
However, Management does not believe that resolution of these matters will have
a material adverse effect on the Registrant's financial condition or results of
operations.

6. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

On March 3, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128, "Earnings Per Share." The new statement is effective for fiscal years
ending after December 15, 1997. When adopted, the statement will require
implementing a new definition of earnings per share including restatement of
prior year amounts. Management has determined there will be no significant
impact upon adoption of the statement.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In December 1996, the Registrant sold to its partners the Registrant's
partnership interest in three shopping centers located in Pennsylvania, in
Lancaster, Waynesburg, and Beaver Falls for a cash consideration of $2,000,000
plus the assumption of debt of $3,560,000. The Registrant realized a gain of
$1,461,000. In addition, the Registrant's partners paid in full the outstanding
notes receivable and accrued interest in the amount of $1,286,000.

In January 1997, a partnership in which the Registrant has a 50% interest
completed the refinancing of its 433-unit apartment community in Omaha,
Nebraska, with the placement of a $20,500,000 ten-year mortgage maturing in
February 2007. The interest rate is 7.56% and amortization is based on a
thirty-year schedule. This replaced a mortgage in the amount of $18,800,000
which had an interest rate of 9.75%.

Funds from operations (FFO) increased by $305,000 and $398,000 for the three and
six months ended February 28, 1997, as compared to the same periods in 1996 as
follows:

(1)Funds from operations ("FFO") is defined as income before gains (losses) on
   investments and extraordinary items (computed in accordance with generally
   accepted accounting principles "GAAP") plus real estate depreciation and
   similar adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures after adjustments for
   non-real estate depreciation and amortization of financing costs. FFO should
   not be construed as an alternative to net income (as determined in accordance
   with GAAP) as an indicator of the Trust's operating performance, or to cash
   flows from operating activities (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a
   measure of liquidity. In addition, the Trust's measure of FFO as presented
   may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other
   companies.
(2)Net of minority interest for three months of $66,000 in 1997 and $64,000 in
   1996 and for six months of $133,000 in 1997 and $128,000 in 1996.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased to $6,490,000 from
$6,590,000 for the six months ended February 28, 1997, as compared to the same
period last year.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $18,021,000 for the six months
ended February 28, 1997 as compared to net cash used in investing activities of
$335,000 in the same period last year. The increase is primarily attributable to
aggregate partnership distributions of $15,400,000 the Registrant received from
the refinancing of Lehigh Valley Mall and Cambridge Hall Apartments in the First
Quarter 1997 and $2,000,000 proceeds from the sale of three shopping centers all
located in Pennsylvania in Lancaster, Waynesburg, and Beaver Falls in the Second
Quarter 1997.

Net cash used in financing activities was $21,206,000 for the six months ended
February 28, 1997 as compared to $5,732,000 used in the same period last year.
Financing activities in the six months ended February 28, 1997 included a
reduction in bank loans payable of $12,462,000 and distributions paid to
beneficiaries of $8,157,000. Financing activities in the six months ended
February 29, 1996 included a reduction in bank loans payable of $5,100,000, an
increase in mortgage notes payable of $8,800,000 on Shenandoah Apartments, and
distributions paid to beneficiaries of $8,156,000.

Results of Operations

Three-Month Periods Ended February 28, 1997 and February 29, 1996

Gross revenues from real estate increased by $497,000 to $10,117,000 for the
three month period ended February 28, 1997 as compared to the same period in the
prior year. The 1997 period included $201,000 of revenues attributable to
Forestville Plaza which the Registrant acquired its partners remaining 25%
interest in the prior fiscal year. The 1996 period included $129,000 of revenues
attributable to Chateau Apartments which the Registrant sold in the prior fiscal
year. Revenues from properties owned during both periods increased by $425,000
primarily as a result of increases in apartment revenues.

Operating expenses increased by $43,000 to $4,175,000. The 1997 period included
$68,000 of expenses attributable to Forestville Plaza which the Registrant
acquired its partners remaining 25% interest in the prior fiscal year. The 1996
period included $85,000 of expenses attributable to Chateau Apartments which the
Registrant sold in the prior year. Operating expenses from properties owned
during both periods increased by $60,000.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $151,000 to $1,555,000 primarily as a
result of the addition of the Forestville property, the deletion of the Chateau
property, and increases in depreciation on apartments.

General and administrative expenses increased by $72,000 to $824,000 primarily
as a result of costs associated with litigation.

Mortgage and bank loan interest expense decreased by $193,000 to $2,248,000 as a
result of decreased borrowing against the Registrant's credit facility.

In June 1996, a partnership in which the Registrant has a 50% interest signed an
option to sell a parcel of land at a stipulated price, subject to the buyer's
obtaining certain zoning variance approvals. In December 1996, the option
expired. As a result, management revised its estimate of the property's selling
price and recorded a $500,000 provision for investment losses in the second
quarter to reduce the property held for sale to its estimated net realizable
value.

For the three months ended February 28, 1997, $46,000 of carrying costs on land
held for sale were charged against the allowance for investment losses. In
addition, the Registrant charged against the allowance for investment losses
$521,000 note receivable which was forgiven in exchange for a limited
partnership interest in an entity which holds an interest in a shopping center
near Atlanta, Georgia. Based on management's assessment of the value of the
shopping center property and the Registrant's subordinated position, a nominal
value was assigned to the limited partnership interest obtained.

Equity in income of partnerships and joint ventures decreased by $745,000 to
$719,000, primarily as a result of an increase in mortgage interest expense of
$838,000. The increase in partnership mortgage interest expense is attributable
to a prepayment penalty in the amount of $1,038,000 ($519,000 of which was the
Registrant's proportional share) in connection with the Regency Apartments
refinancing in the Second Quarter, as well as additional interest associated
with the refinancing of Lehigh Valley Mall and Cambridge Hall Apartments during
the First Quarter 1997. The above described decrease was offset by an increase
in equity in income of $36,000 associated with the sale of three shopping
centers in the 1997 period. In addition, equity in income from properties owned
during both periods exclusive of the increase in mortgage interest mentioned
above increased by $57,000.

Operating results for the three months ended February 28, 1997 included
$1,461,000 gains on sales of interests in real estate described above.

Net income for the quarter ended February 28, 1997 increased to $2,981,000 from
$2,336,000 as reported in the comparable period in the prior year.

Six-Month Periods Ended February 28, 1997 and February 29, 1996

Gross revenues from real estate increased by $828,000 to $20,085,000 for the six
month period ended February 28, 1997 as compared to the same period in the prior
year. The 1997 period included $396,000 of revenues attributable to Forestville
Plaza which the Registrant acquired its partners remaining 25% interest in the
prior fiscal year. The 1996 period included $256,000 of revenues attributable to
Chateau Apartments which the Registrant sold in the prior fiscal year. Revenues
from properties owned during both periods increased by $688,000 primarily as a
result of increases in apartment revenues.

Operating expenses increased by $274,000 to $8,187,000. The 1997 period included
$147,000 of expenses attributable to Forestville Plaza which the Registrant
acquired its partners remaining 25% interest in the prior fiscal year. The 1996
period included $165,000 of expenses attributable to Chateau Apartments which
the Registrant sold in the prior year. Operating expenses from properties owned
during both periods increased by $292,000.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $240,000 to $3,096,000 primarily as a
result of the addition of the Forestville property, the deletion of the Chateau
property, and increases in depreciation on apartments.

General and administrative expenses increased by $149,000 to $1,572,000
primarily as a result of costs associated with litigation.

Mortgage and bank loan interest expense decreased $253,000 to $4,605,000 as a
result of decreased borrowing against the Registrant's credit facility.

Equity in income of partnerships and joint ventures decreased by $986,000 to
$2,045,000, primarily as a result of an increase in mortgage interest expense of
$1,313,000. The increase in partnership mortgage interest expense is
attributable to prepayment penalties of $1,466,000 ($733,000 of which was the
Registrant's proportional share) in connection with refinancings, as well as
additional interest associated with the refinancings of Regency Apartments
during the Second Quarter 1997 and Lehigh Valley Mall and Cambridge Hall
Apartments during the First Quarter 1997. The above described decrease was
offset by an increase in equity in income of $110,000 associated with the sale
of three shopping centers in the 1997 period. In addition, equity in income from
properties owned during both periods exclusive of the increase in mortgage
interest mentioned above increased by $217,000.

Operating results for the six month period ended February 28, 1997 included
$1,461,000 gains on sales of interests in real estate described above.

Net income for the six months period ended February 28, 1997 decreased to
$5,621,000 from $5,181,000 as reported in the comparable period in the prior
year.
