           Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                         March 31, 1995
                           (unaudited)



Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

     The   accompanying  consolidated  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, 1994, 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

     Principles  of  Consolidation.  The  consolidated  financial
     statements  of  the Trust include the accounts  of  American
     Industrial    Properties   REIT   and    its    wholly-owned
     subsidiaries.    Significant   intercompany   balances   and
     transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     Real Estate.  The Trust carries its real estate at the lower
     of  depreciated  cost or net realizable  value.   Management
     considers   net  realizable  value  for  assets   held   for
     investment as the total of the estimated undiscounted future
     cash  flows  from the property.  For assets held  for  sale,
     management  considers  net  realizable  value  as  estimated
     market value.  Provisions for possible losses on real estate
     are  recorded when management determines that the  net  book
     value  of  a specific real estate property is less than  its
     net   realizable   value.   At  March  31,  1995,   thirteen
     properties  were classified as held for investment  and  one
     property was classified as held for sale.  Should unforeseen
     factors cause additional properties to be classified as held
     for  sale,  significant adjustments to reduce the  net  book
     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.

     Other  Assets.  Other assets consists primarily of  deferred
     rent  receivable, prepaid leasing commissions and loan fees.
     Deferred  rent  receivable arises as  the  Trust  recognizes
     rental  income,  including  contractual  rent  increases  or
     delayed rent starts, on a straight-line basis over the lease
     term.  Leasing commissions are capitalized and amortized  on
     a straight-line basis over the life of the lease.  Loan fees
     are  capitalized and amortized on a level yield  basis  over
     the  term  of  the  related loan.  The  Trust  has  recorded
     deferred rent receivable of $918,000 and $1,157,000 at March
     31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively.

     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 - Zero Coupon Notes

     In  December 1993 and November 1994, the Trust partially in-
     substance defeased certain of its Zero Coupon Notes due 1997
     (the   "Notes")   totaling  $16,365,000  (face   amount   at
     maturity).  At March 31, 1995, the accreted value  of  these
     Notes was $12,007,000.


Note 4 - Sale of Property
     
     On  February  27,  1995, the Trust sold its Quadrant  Center
     property  in  Deerfield Beach, Florida for $2,650,000.   Net
     proceeds from the sale, after payoff of the related mortgage
     indebtedness,  was approximately $1,250,000.  After  selling
     costs and adjustment for deferred rent receivable, the Trust
     recognized a loss of $191,000 on the sale.
     
     
Note 5 - Subsequent Events

     On  April  21, 1995, the Trust received a notice of  default
     from   The  Manufacturers  Life  Insurance  Company  ("MLI")
     pursuant  to the Note Purchase Agreement between  the  Trust
     and MLI dated February 27, 1992.  MLI, which holds unsecured
     notes  payable  by the Trust in the amount  of  $45,239,000,
     claimed in the notice of default that the Trust had violated
     certain  covenants and agreements of a non-monetary  nature,
     including  the failure to consent to a proposed transfer  of
     the  notes  to  a third party.  The notice of  default  also
     states  that,  in the event the alleged violations  are  not
     cured  within  thirty  days,  MLI  may  declare  the  entire
     principal  amount,  together with accrued interest  thereon,
     immediately  due and payable.  The Trust strongly  disagrees
     with  MLI's allegations of default and intends to vigorously
     oppose the action by MLI.

     On  May  1, 1995, the Trust filed a lawsuit against  MLI  in
     State  Court in Dallas, Texas.  The Trust's lawsuit  alleges
     that  MLI, by declaring the Trust in default and threatening
     acceleration of the notes, has unlawfully sought  to  coerce
     the  Trust  into relinquishing certain of its  rights.   The
     lawsuit further alleges that MLI has engaged in acts of  bad
     faith and conspiracy in an attempt to coerce the Trust  into
     taking actions that would be detrimental to the interests of
     the  Trust  and  its  shareholders.  The  Trust  is  seeking
     recovery  of  damages and injunctive relief to  prevent  MLI
     from continuing to violate the Trust's rights.


     

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


Results of Operations

     The table below provides a reconciliation of net loss, funds
from  operations  ("FFO")  and funds available  for  distribution
("FAD")  for  the  three months ended March 31,  1995  and  1994.
Management  believes that the presentation of FFO  and  FAD  will
enhance  the  reader's  understanding of  the  Trust's  financial
condition  as well as provide comparability to other real  estate
investment  trusts.  Neither FFO or FAD should 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),  adjusted  to
exclude  gains  or losses from debt restructuring  and  sales  of
property,   depreciation   and  amortization   and   to   include
adjustments  for unconsolidated partnerships and joint  ventures.
FAD  is generally more indicative of the Trust's ability to  make
distributions  as it includes the effect of the  Trust's  capital
expenditures.

</TABLE>

      The  net  loss  of  the Trust decreased  by  $239,000  when
comparing  the first quarter 1995 results to the same quarter  in
1994.  This decrease resulted from the following:  i) an increase
in  property  revenues  due to increased  overall  occupancy  and
improving  rental rates;  ii) a decrease in Trust  administrative
expenses due primarily to contested proxy costs incurred  in  the
first  quarter  of  1994;  iii) a decrease  in  depreciation  and
amortization expense due to the sale of the Quadrant property  in
February 1995;  iv) the effect of the November 1994 financing and
the defeasance of the Trust's zero coupon notes; and  v) the loss
related to the sale of the Quadrant property in February 1995.

      FFO for the three months ended March 31, 1995 decreased  by
$39,000  from  the  same  period in 1994  primarily  due  to  the
increased   property  revenues,  the  decrease   in   the   Trust
administrative   expenses,  and  the  November   1994   financing
discussed previously.  FAD improved significantly from  the  year
earlier period due to the factors affecting FFO and the timing of
capital  expenditures.  Such expenditures are indicative  of  the
level  of  leasing and, over time, will decrease as the portfolio
occupancy stabilizes.

      The overall occupancy of the Trust's portfolio on March 31,
1995  was  93.1%.   On a same property basis,  overall  occupancy
increased  to  93.1% at March 31, 1995 from 92.4%  at  March  31,
1994.   Same property revenue increased by 5.6% and net operating
income increased by 8.6% when comparing the first quarter 1995 to
the  same  period in 1994.  The increase in net operating  income
resulted  from increased revenues due to improving occupancy  and
rental  rates, as well as a decrease in operating expenses  which
was primarily attributable to lower property tax expense.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

      At March 31, 1995, the Trust had approximately $8.5 million
in unrestricted cash reserves.  The Trust generates such reserves
through  the  operations  of its assets  and  certain  infrequent
capital  transactions such as property sales or debt refinancing.
These  reserves could be decreased significantly should the Trust
elect  to purchase additional real estate properties or effect  a
refinancing or reduction of existing debt.  Also, as described in
Recent Developments below, the Trust filed a lawsuit against  its
unsecured  lender  on  May  1, 1995.  In  the  event  the  lender
proceeds  pursuant  to  the notice of default  and  declares  the
entire  principal  amount of $45,239,000  and  accrued  interest
immediately  due and payable, the Trust will pursue such  actions
it  deems necessary to protect the interests of the Trust and its
shareholders.   In addition, the costs of defending  against  the
actions  of  this unsecured lender and the costs of pursuing  the
litigation  currently instituted are expected to  be  significant
and  will  serve  to  decrease  the  Trust's  resources  and  its
liquidity.

      In  December  1993, the Trust announced the  suspension  of
quarterly  distributions  until such time  as  the  Trust's  Zero
Coupon Notes were fully defeased and such distributions could  be
made  from  the positive cash flow of the Trust.  The Trust  does
not  anticipate  having the sustainable positive cash  flow  with
which  to initiate a distribution during calendar year 1995.   It
is  uncertain  when, and in what amount, such distributions  will
resume in the future.

       The   initial   capitalization  of  the   Trust   included
$179,698,000  face amount at maturity of Zero  Coupon  Notes  due
1997 (the "Notes") secured by first or second liens on all of the
Trust's  properties.   In November 1994, the  Trust  completed  a
$14,500,000 refinancing of two properties.  The proceeds of  this
refinancing were used to partially in-substance defease a portion
of  the  outstanding Notes.  This partial defeasance resulted  in
the  release  to  the  Trust  of approximately  $7.1  million  in
restricted  funds previously held by the Trustee as well  as  the
release  of  the  liens securing the Notes which  encumbered  the
Trust's properties.  The defeasance of the Notes, while having  a
favorable  effect upon the net losses of the Trust, will  have  a
negative impact on the Trust's FFO and FAD as the amortization of
the  original issue discount on the Notes, which did  not  effect
FFO or FAD, was effectively replaced with interest expense on the
new financing, which does impact FFO and FAD.  At March 31, 1995,
the  face  amount  at  maturity and the  accreted  value  of  the
defeased Notes were $16,365,000 and $12,007,000, respectively.

      The  Trust intends to continue efforts to recapitalize  its
debt  structure.   Should  such an opportunity  materialize,  the
Trust  may seek to retire existing debt obligations with proceeds
from  secured debt financing, property sales, cash on hand  or  a
combination of these sources.  Such a transaction may require the
Trust to utilize the majority of its cash reserves.

        Pursuant   to   previously   expressed   intentions    to
geographically  focus on the interior of the country,  the  Trust
sold  the Quadrant Center industrial property in Deerfield Beach,
Florida  on February 27, 1995 for $2,650,000.  The Trust received
net  sales proceeds of approximately $1,250,000 after sales costs
and the payoff of the mortgage on the property.

      At  March  31, 1995, the Trust had $19,119,000 in  mortgage
debt   outstanding.   Of  this  amount,  $16,414,000  represented
variable rate financing (with a weighted average interest rate of
9.6%)  and $2,705,000 represented fixed rate financing   (with  a
weighted  average interest rate of 10.5%).  Of the variable  rate
debt,  $14,465,000  is  subject to a  maximum  interest  rate  of
11.375%.

       Capitalized  improvements  and  leasing  commissions  were
$160,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 as compared to
$334,000 for the same period in 1994.  This decrease is primarily
related  to  the significant increase in overall occupancy  which
occurred during early 1994.


Recent Developments

     On  April  21, 1995, the Trust received a notice of  default
from The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company ("MLI") pursuant to
the  Note  Purchase  Agreement between the Trust  and  MLI  dated
February  27, 1992.  MLI, which holds unsecured notes payable  by
the Trust in the amount of $45,239,000, claimed in the notice  of
default  that  the  Trust  had  violated  certain  covenants  and
agreements  of  a non-monetary nature, including the  failure  to
consent  to  a  proposed transfer of the notes to a third  party.
The  notice of default also states that, in the event the alleged
violations are not cured within thirty days, MLI may declare  the
entire  principal amount, together with accrued interest thereon,
immediately  due and payable.  The Trust strongly disagrees  with
MLI's allegations of default and intends to vigorously oppose the
action by MLI.

     On  May  1, 1995, the Trust filed a lawsuit against  MLI  in
State  Court in Dallas, Texas.  The Trust's lawsuit alleges  that
MLI,   by   declaring  the  Trust  in  default  and   threatening
acceleration  of the notes, has unlawfully sought to  coerce  the
Trust  into  relinquishing certain of its  rights.   The  lawsuit
further  alleges that MLI has engaged in acts of  bad  faith  and
conspiracy in an attempt to coerce the Trust into taking  actions
that  would be detrimental to the interests of the Trust and  its
shareholders.   The  Trust  is seeking recovery  of  damages  and
injunctive  relief to prevent MLI from continuing to violate  the
Trust's rights.
