                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 JUNE 30, 1994
                                  (UNAUDITED)



NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying financial statements are presented in accordance with the
     requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all of the
     disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles or those
     contained in the Trust's Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Accordingly, these
     financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
     financial statements of the Trust for the year ended December 31, 1993,
     included in the Trust's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     The financial information included herein has been prepared in accordance
     with the Trust's customary accounting practices and has not been audited.
     In the opinion of management, the information presented reflects all
     adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of interim results.  All such
     adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Real Estate and Provisions for Possible Losses on Real Estate.  The Trust
     carries its real estate at the lower of  depreciated cost or net realizable
     value, as defined.  Management defines net realizable value of assets held
     for investment as the total of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows
     from the property.  For assets held for sale, management defines net
     realizable value as estimated market value.  Provisions for possible losses
     are recorded when management determines that the recorded value of real
     estate is less than net realizable value, as defined.  Consistent with
     management's intention, all real estate at June 30, 1994 is classified as
     held for investment.  Should unforeseen factors cause all or part of the
     real estate to be classified as held for sale, significant adjustments to
     reduce the carrying value of such properties could be required.

     Property improvements are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are
     expensed as incurred.  Depreciation of buildings and capital improvements
     is computed using the straight-line method over forty years.  Depreciation
     of tenant improvements is computed using the straight-line method over ten
     years.  Lease commissions paid are capitalized and amortized over the term
     of the related lease.

     Income Taxes.  The Trust qualifies as a real estate investment trust (a
     "REIT") under Federal income tax law as long as it meets certain asset,
     income, and ownership tests and it distributes 95% of its taxable income
     annually.  No provisions for Federal income taxes have been required or
     recorded to date.

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITION OF NORTHVIEW DISTRIBUTION CENTER

     In December 1993, the Trust purchased the Northview Distribution Center, a
     175,000 square foot multi tenant industrial distribution property in
     Dallas, Texas.  The results of operations for this property are reflected
     in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1994.


NOTE 4 - TERMINATION OF ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND REMOVAL OF FINITE-LIFE PROVISION

     In April 1993, the Independent Trust Managers gave formal notice of the
     Trust's intent to terminate the Advisory Agreement with Trammell Crow
     Ventures, Ltd. (the "Advisor").  The Trust converted to self-management in
     June 1993.  Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Trust paid
     to the Advisor a one-time termination fee of $435,000 in the second quarter
     of 1993.  Most of the Trust's properties are currently managed by
     affiliates of the former Advisor.  This relationship is not considered to
     be a related party or party-in-interest relationship.

     Pursuant to an Annual Meeting of Shareholders in October 1993, the Trust's
     Shareholders approved amendments to the Trust's Declaration of Trust and
     By-Laws which, among other things, officially changed the name of the Trust
     to American Industrial Properties REIT and removed the limited term
     restriction of the Trust, thereby making the life of the Trust perpetual.


  NOTE 5  -  PARTIAL DEFEASANCE OF ZERO COUPON NOTES

     In December 1993, the Trust recognized an in-substance partial defeasance
     of the Zero Coupon Notes by offsetting approximately $10.2 million in
     restricted funds held by the Trustee for the Noteholders against the
     balance of the Zero Coupon Notes and by recognizing a loss on the partial
     defeasance of $2.5 million.

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


  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Below is a summary of Funds From Operations ("FFO") for the Trust for the
  three months and six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
  Management believes that the presentation of FFO will enhance the reader's
  understanding of the Trust's financial condition because it provides the
  reader with an additional measure of the Trust's operating performance which
  excludes non-recurring activities (i.e., gains or losses from debt
  restructuring and sales of property) as well as certain non-cash items (i.e.,
  depreciation and amortization) which generally do not immediately impact a
  real estate concern's operations.  Many real estate investment trusts disclose
  FFO in order to provide readers with additional information with which to
  compare performance.  FFO, however, should not be considered an alternative to
  net income as an indicator of the Trust's operating performance or to cash
  flows from operations as a measure of liquidity.  The determination of FFO is
  based on the definition adopted by the National Association of Real Estate
  Investment Trusts which is net income (computed in accordance with generally
  accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from debt
  restructuring and sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization (the
  Trust adds back the amortization of the original issue discount on its Zero
  Coupon Notes due 1997), and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships
  and joint ventures.

</TABLE>

          (a) Funds from operations for the three months and six months ended
          June 30, 1993 does not reflect  the operations of the Northview
          Distribution Center which was acquired in December 1993.  Funds from
          operations related to the Northview Distribution Center for the three
          months and six months ended June 30, 1994 were approximately $114,000
          and $233,000, respectively.

     Funds from operations for the three months and six months ended June 30,
  1994 increased from the same period in 1993 primarily due to  (a) the payment
  of a $435,000 termination fee to the former Advisor to the Trust in the second
  quarter of 1993,  (b) the acquisition of the Northview Distribution Center in
  December 1993,  and (c) increased occupancy and rental rates in the Trust's
  other properties, notwithstanding an offsetting increase in administrative
  expenses of the Trust in 1994 related to the proxy contest incurred in
  connection with the May 1994 Special Meeting of Shareholders.

     Revenues increased by approximately 8% on a same property basis when
  comparing the six months ended June 30, 1994 to the same period in 1993 due to
  higher occupancy and rental rates.  The overall  occupancy of the Trust's
  portfolio on June 30, 1994 was 92%.  On a same property basis, overall
  occupancy increased from 87% at June 30, 1993 to 91% at June 30, 1994.
  Operating expenses decreased by approximately 3% on a same property basis when
  comparing the six months ended June 30, 1994 to the same period in 1993.

     The Trust was managed by an outside Advisor until  June 12, 1993, at which
  time the Trust became self-administered.  The Trust currently employs six
  full-time employees to conduct and manage the business affairs of the Trust.
  The overall costs to the Trust over time under self-administration related to
  managerial, administrative and other services are expected to be lower than
  fees previously paid to the Advisor.

  LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The principal sources of funds for the Trust's liquidity requirements are
  funds generated from operations of the Trust's real estate assets and
  unrestricted cash reserves.   The Trust may utilize proceeds from short term
  borrowing arrangements, other refinancing transactions, or sales of properties
  (assuming such alternatives are available and can be consummated) to provide
  sufficient funds to meet liabilities and commitments relating to the Trust's
  operations. The Trust continues to pursue a strategy which is intended to
  lower the Trust's cost of capital and enable the Trust to make additional
  investments in industrial real estate.

     In accordance with the terms of the 8.8% Notes payable due 1997, interest
  in the amount of approximately $1,990,000 is payable in May and November of
  each year.  Due to the Trust's liquidity needs arising from tenant finish
  costs, leasing commissions and non-recurring administrative expenses, an
  agreement was reached with the noteholder to defer payment of one-half of the
  interest payment due in May 1994 for three months.  Based upon current
  forecasts, the Trust anticipates that it will have sufficient funds to meet
  the deferred payment due in August 1994.  The Trust also anticipates that a
  similar arrangement with the noteholder will be required with respect to the
  regular interest payment due in November 1994.  There is no assurance that the
  Trust will be able to obtain such agreement from the noteholder.  Should the
  Trust default on the November 1994 payment, the noteholder could declare an
  event of default and seek appropriate remedies available to it in its capacity
  as an unsecured creditor and under  the note agreement.  Such an action may
  force the Trust to pursue alternative strategies to protect the interests of
  the Shareholders, including seeking protection or other remedies afforded a
  debtor under applicable law.

     In November 1993, the Trust provided a quarterly distribution to
  Shareholders of $363,000 ($0.04 per share).  In December 1993, the Trust
  announced the suspension of quarterly distributions to Shareholders in order
  to utilize cash resources for the defeasance of  the remaining Zero Coupon
  Notes (see below).   Even if the remaining Zero Coupon Notes are fully
  defeased, there can be no assurance that such distributions will be reinstated
  nor, if reinstated, at what amount.

     The initial capitalization of the Trust included $179,698,000 face amount
  of Zero Coupon Notes due November 27, 1997 secured by first or second liens on
  all of the Trust's properties.  Amortization of the original issue discount on
  the Zero Coupon Notes is a non-cash charge against net income of the Trust,
  compounding semiannually at 12%.  Through June 30, 1994, the Trust has
  repurchased a substantial amount of the Zero Coupon Notes, decreasing the face
  amount of the remaining outstanding Zero Coupon Notes to approximately
  $19,253,000.  Management believes that the defeasance of the remaining Zero
  Coupon Notes is necessary in order to provide growth and financing
  alternatives to the Trust.  It is anticipated that funds for such a defeasance
  will be provided by a refinancing of the Trust's properties.

     In acquiring its existing properties, the Trust assumed a total of
  $8,075,000 in mortgage debt, of which $7,088,000 remained outstanding as of
  June 30, 1994.  The debt service on these mortgages amounted to $202,000 for
  the quarter ended June 30, 1994.

     Capitalized improvements and leasing commissions were $869,000 for the six
  months ended June 30, 1994 as compared to $624,000 for the same period in
  1993.  The higher amount in 1994 is primarily related to continued leasing
  activity which has led to higher occupancy rates in the Trust's properties.


  OTHER MATTERS

     Consistent with its strategy, the Trust solicited shareholder approval at a
  Special Meeting of Shareholders on May 10, 1994 to merge the Trust with and
  into a Maryland corporation which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trust.
  Among other things, this merger proposal would have resulted in five
  outstanding shares of the Trust being converted into one share of common stock
  in the corporation, significant increases in the authorized shares of common
  stock, the authorization of preferred stock, and implementation of a staggered
  board of directors.  The largest shareholder of the Trust solicited proxies in
  opposition to this plan.  On May 24, 1994, it was announced that insufficient
  votes had been cast for approval of the proposal.

     The Trust is not a party to any pending material legal proceeding.


ITEM 4.   SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITYHOLDERS.

     Pursuant to a Special Meeting of Shareholders held May 10, 1994, a proposal
     to merge the Trust with and into a Maryland corporation which is a wholly
     owned subsidiary of the Trust was voted on.  The certified vote total,
     presented at a continuance of the Shareholder Meeting on May 24, 1994, was
     as follows:  3,555,423 For,  3,043,781 Against, and 124,711 Abstain.  The
     proposal, which required approval by two-thirds of all outstanding
     shareholders, did not pass.


ITEM 6.   EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K.

     (a)  Exhibits

          None

          (b)   Reports on Form 8-K

          Item 5.   On  April 7, 1994, a Form 8-K was filed related to an
       amendment to the Trust's By-Laws eliminating the requirement for annual
       appraisals of the market value of the Trust's real estate investments.
       No financial statements were filed in connection therewith.

          Item 4.    On May 26, 1994,  a Form 8-K was filed indicating that the
       Trust had hired Ernst & Young as its new independent auditors.  There
       were no disagreements with the predecessor auditors on any matter of
       accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
       auditing scope or procedure.

          Item 5.    On May 26, 1994, a Form 8-K was filed regarding an
       agreement with the major unsecured lender to the Trust.  The agreement
       stipulated that approximately one-half of the $1,974,164 semi-annual
       interest payment due May 24, 1994 could be deferred until August 26, 1994
       and that certain additional interest would accrue if the payment of the
       deferred amount was made after June 27, 1994.

          Item 5.    On June 7, 1994, a Form 8-K was filed relating to an
       increase in the number of Trust Managers to four, an amendment to the
       Trust's By-Laws clarifying that existing Trust Managers may fill a Trust
       Manager vacancy created by an increase in the number of Trust Managers,
       and the appointment of Raymond A. Hay as a Trust Manager.  These actions
       were contingent upon the acceptance by Mr. Hay of his appointment as a
       Trust Manager.  Mr. Hay accepted his appointment on June 6, 1994.
