                  THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995



1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Registrant,
without audit, except as to the balance sheet as of August 31, 1996, pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the
Registrant believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. It is suggested that these consolidated financial
statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the
notes thereto included in the Registrant's latest annual report on Form 10-K. In
the opinion of the Registrant, all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial
position and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows, have
been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform with
current year presentation.

2.  INVESTMENTS IN PARTNERSHIPS AND JOINT VENTURES:

The following presents summarized financial information as to the Registrant's
equity in the assets and liabilities of the 27 partnerships and joint ventures

4. CASH FLOW INFORMATION:

Cash paid for interest was $2,344,000 and $2,514,000 for the three months ended
November 30, 1996 and 1995, 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
three months ended November 30, 1996, the Registrant advanced funds totaling
$1,000 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 ongoing, 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.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Liquidity and Capital Resources

In September 1996, Lehigh Valley Mall, which is owned by a partnership in which
the Registrant has a 50% interest, was refinanced in the amount of $54,000,000.
The new loan was sufficient to repay the existing debt of approximately
$22,000,000, fund renovations to the mall of $5,000,000, and provide excess
proceeds which were distributed to the owners. The Registrant's share of the
distribution was $13,000,000. The new ten-year mortgage loan bears interest at
7.9% with principal payments based on a twenty-five year amortization schedule.
The renovations to Lehigh Valley Mall were completed in November 1996 and
consist primarily of improvements to internal common areas.

In September 1996, a partnership in which the Registrant has a 50% interest
completed the refinancing of its 232-unit apartment community in West Chester,
Pennsylvania, with the placement of a $5,400,000 twenty-year mortgage maturing
in October 2016. The interest rate is 8.345% and amortization is based on a
thirty-year schedule. The Registrant received $2,400,000 of the net proceeds of
this refinancing while the Registrant's partners received the balance pursuant
to the terms of the Partnership Agreement.

Subsequent to the end of the first quarter, the Registrant sold its partnership
interests in three shopping centers in Lancaster, Waynesburg, and Beaver Falls,
Pennsylvania, to its partners for a cash consideration of $2,000,000 plus the
assumption of debt of $3,500,000. The Registrant realized a gain of
approximately $1,400,000.

(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.

(2) Net of minority interest of $66,000 in 1996 and $64,000 in 1995.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $3,016,000 from
$2,583,000 for the three months ended November 30, 1996, as compared to the
three months ended November 30, 1995. The increase is a result of the
non-recurring prepayment of real estate taxes and other expenses of $484,000 for
Boca Palms Apartments and normal timing-related prepayments of approximately
$150,000 for the three months ended November 30, 1995. This increase is offset
by the decrease in net income of $206,000, the components of which are discussed
below in results of operations.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $14,748,000 for the three months
ended November 30, 1996 as compared to net cash used in investing activities of
$783,000 in the same period last year. The increase is attributable to aggregate
partnership distributions of $15,400,000 the Registrant received from the
refinancing of Lehigh Valley Mall and Cambridge Hall Apartments discussed above.

Net cash used in financing activities was $16,768,000 for the three months ended
November 30, 1996 as compared to $1,447,000 used in the same period last year.
Financing activities in the three months ended November 30, 1996 included a
reduction in bank loans payable of $12,373,000 and distributions paid to
beneficiaries of $4,079,000. Financing activities in the three months ended
November 30, 1995 included a reduction in bank loans payable of $5,182,000, an
increase in mortgage notes payable of $8,800,000 on Shenandoah Apartments, and
distributions paid to beneficiaries of $4,078,000.

Results of Operations

Three Month Periods Ended November 30, 1996 and 1995

Gross revenues from real estate increased by $330,000 to $9,968,000 for the
three month period ended November 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in the
prior year. The 1996 period included $195,000 of revenues attributable to
Forestville Plaza which the Registrant acquired in the prior fiscal year. The
1995 period included $127,000 of revenues attributable to Chateau Apartments
which the Registrant sold in the prior fiscal year. Revenues from properties
owned during both periods increased by $262,000 primarily as a result of
increases in apartment revenues.

Operating expenses increased by $232,000 to $4,012,000. The 1996 period included
$80,000 of expenses attributable to Forestville Plaza which the Registrant
acquired in the prior fiscal year. The 1995 period included $80,000 of expenses
attributable to Chateau Apartments which the Registrant sold in the prior year.
Operating expenses from properties owned during both periods increased by
$232,000.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $88,000 to $1,540,000 primarily as a
result of the addition of the Forestville property and the deletion of the
Chateau property.

General and administrative expenses increased by $77,000 to $748,000 due to
normal increases in this expense.

Mortgage and bank loan interest expense decreased $57,000 to $2,359,000 as a
result of decreased borrowing against the Registrant's credit facility.

Equity in income of partnerships and joint ventures decreased by $240,000 to
$1,326,000 primarily as a result of an increase in mortgage interest expense of
$327,000 primarily due to the refinancing of Lehigh Valley Mall and Cambridge
Hall Apartments during the three months ended November 30, 1996. Mortgage
interest expense includes a prepayment penalty in the amount of $214,000 due to
the Lehigh Valley Mall refinancing.

Net income for the quarter ended November 30, 1996 decreased to $2,639,000 from
$2,845,000 as reported in the comparable period in the prior year.
