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.

     Certain amounts in prior year financial statements have been
     reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

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 September  30,  1995,  fourteen
     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 $854,000  and  $1,157,000  at
     September 30, 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  September 30, 1995, the accreted  value  of
     these Notes was $12,727,000.


Note 4 - Litigation
     
     On  May  1,  1995,  the  Trust filed a lawsuit  against  The
     Manufacturers  Life  Insurance  Company  ("MLI")  in   State
     District  Court  in  Dallas,  Texas.   The  Trust's  lawsuit
     alleges  that  MLI, by declaring the Trust  in  default  and
     threatening acceleration of the notes, has breached the Note
     Purchase  Agreement  between  MLI  and  the  Trust  and  has
     unlawfully  sought  to coerce the Trust  into  relinquishing
     certain  of  its  rights and further alleges  that  MLI  has
     engaged  in  acts of bad faith and conspiracy.  The  lawsuit
     was  subsequently  amended to name as additional  defendants
     Fidelity   Management  and  Research  Company  and   certain
     affiliates (the "Fidelity Entities").  The Trust is  seeking
     recovery   of  damages  of  up  to  $20,000,000,   plus   an
     unspecified  amount  for  punitive damages,  and  injunctive
     relief  to  prevent  MLI  and  the  Fidelity  Entities  from
     continuing to violate the Trust's rights.
     
     Due  to the circumstances resulting in this litigation,  the
     Trust  elected not to make the semi-annual interest  payment
     due  on  May  27,  1995.  On June 13, 1995,  the  noteholder
     declared   the  entire  principal  amount   outstanding   of
     $45,239,000 and all accrued interest thereon immediately due
     and   payable.    The  noteholder  further  indicated   that
     effective  June  13, 1995, interest on the principal  amount
     outstanding  would accrue at the default rate  of  11.7%  as
     provided   in   the   Note  Purchase  Agreement.    Although
     management disagrees with the imposition of the default rate
     by  the  noteholder based on the circumstances resulting  in
     the  litigation,  generally accepted  accounting  principles
     require  that  interest  be accrued  at  the  default  rate.
     Accordingly,  the accompanying financial statements  include
     accrued  interest based on the default rate  from  June  13,
     1995.   In  the  event  that the loan is  determined  to  be
     immediately due and payable, and is not ultimately  modified
     or  restructured  through the favorable  resolution  of  the
     litigation  or  otherwise,  the  Trust  will  be  forced  to
     consider  such action as it deems necessary to  protect  the
     interests  of  the  Trust  and its  shareholders,  including
     seeking protection under applicable bankruptcy laws.
     
     On October 3, 1995, The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company
     (U.S.A.),   Inc.  ("MLI-USA")  intervened  in  the   lawsuit
     asserting  ownership of one of the notes.  On the same  day,
     MLI  and  MLI-USA  filed  counterclaims  against  the  Trust
     seeking  recovery of all amounts due under  the  notes.   On
     October   19,  1995,  the  Trust  filed  answers  to   these
     counterclaims.    On  October  18,  1995,   MLI   filed   an
     application for a temporary restraining order and injunction
     in  the  lawsuit, seeking to enjoin the Trust from paying  a
     scheduled dividend to its shareholders on October 23,  1995.
     On  October  20,  1995, the court, after  hearing  argument,
     denied  MLI's application.  On October 19, 1995,  the  Trust
     amended its lawsuit and filed an application for declaratory
     judgment  and  injunctive  relief,  stating  that  MLI   had
     wrongfully declared a default and wrongfully accelerated the
     maturity of the notes.

     
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 quarter and nine months ended September 30,  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.

         Three Months Ended September 30, 1995 and 1994

     The net loss of the Trust decreased by $8,000 when comparing
the quarter ended September 30, 1995 to the same quarter in 1994.
This was the result of a slight increase in net operating income,
a  decrease in depreciation and amortization (due in part to  the
sale  of  the Quadrant property in February 1995), the effect  of
the  November  1994  financing (which  effectively  replaced  the
amortization  of the original issue discount on the  zero  coupon
notes   with  interest  expense),  and  an  increase   in   Trust
administrative expenses due to the current litigation costs.

      FFO  decreased by $579,000 when comparing the quarter ended
September  30,  1995  to  the  same  quarter  in  1994.   The  is
attributable to the November 1994 financing (the amortization  of
the  original issue discount on the zero coupon notes in 1994  is
not  included  in  the  FFO calculation  whereas  the  subsequent
interest  expense is) and the higher administrative  expenses  in
1995.   FAD  decreased by $693,000 due to these same factors  and
the  higher  level of tenant improvements and leasing commissions
in  1995.   These  expenditures are  indicative  of  the  Trust's
leasing  activity and, over time, will decrease as the  portfolio
occupancy stabilizes.


          Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995 and 1994

      The  net  loss  of  the Trust decreased  by  $775,000  when
comparing  the  first nine months of 1995 to the same  period  in
1994.   This decrease resulted from the following:  i)  increased
net   operating  income  from  property  operations  as   overall
occupancy and rental rates continued to improve;  ii) a  decrease
in  Trust administrative expenses due primarily to the high level
of  expenses  related to contested proxy costs  incurred  in  the
first  nine months 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) a loss
related to the sale of the Quadrant property in February 1995 and
the  prepayment penalty associated with the payoff of a  mortgage
loan in May 1995.

      FFO  for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 decreased
by  $536,000  from the same period in 1994 as  a  result  of  the
November  1994 financing (the amortization of the original  issue
discount on the zero coupon notes in 1994 is not included in  the
FFO  calculation whereas the subsequent interest expense is), the
increase  in  net  operating income of  the  properties  and  the
decrease  in  Trust administrative expenses.  FAD  for  the  nine
months  ended September 30, 1995 was $78,000 lower than the  year
earlier period due to these same factors and the higher level  of
tenant  improvements  and  leasing commissions  in  1994.   These
expenditures are indicative of the Trust's leasing activity  and,
over time, will decrease as the portfolio occupancy stabilizes.

      The overall occupancy of the Trust's portfolio on September
30,  1995  was 95%.  On a same property basis, overall  occupancy
increased  to 95% at September 30, 1995 from 92% a year  earlier.
Same  property revenue increased by 6.4% and net operating income
increased  by 9.9% when comparing the nine months ended September
30,  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  slight
decrease in operating expenses.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

      At  September  30,  1995, the Trust had approximately  $7.2
million  in unrestricted cash reserves.  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,  including  the  unsecured   debt
described  below.   The  Trust intends  to  continue  efforts  to
recapitalize  its debt structure and, should such an  opportunity
materialize,   the  Trust  may  seek  to  retire  existing   debt
obligations with proceeds from secured debt financings,  property
sales,  cash on hand or a combination of these sources.   Such  a
transaction could require the Trust to utilize significantly  all
of its unrestricted cash reserves.

      As  more  fully  described  in  Part  II,  Item  1.   Legal
Proceedings,  the Trust is currently involved in litigation  with
its   unsecured  noteholder.   Effective  June  13,   1995,   the
noteholder  declared the entire principal amount  of  $45,239,000
and  accrued  interest  immediately due  and  payable  and  began
accruing  interest  on the outstanding principal  amount  at  the
default  rate of 11.7%.  Although management disagrees  with  the
imposition  of the default rate by the noteholder  based  on  the
circumstances  resulting  in the litigation,  generally  accepted
accounting  principles require that the Trust accrue interest  at
the  default  rate.   Management  intends  to  vigorously  defend
against  the  actions  of the defendants and  believes  that  the
Trust's  claims  will  ultimately be resolved  favorably  to  the
Trust.   However,  there  is  no assurance  as  to  the  ultimate
resolution  of this litigation.  Accordingly, in the  event  that
the loan is determined to be immediately due and payable, and  is
not  ultimately  modified or restructured through  the  favorable
resolution  of  the litigation or otherwise, the  Trust  will  be
forced  to consider such action as it deems necessary to  protect
the  interests  of  the  Trust  and its  shareholders,  including
seeking  protection under applicable bankruptcy laws.  The  costs
of  pursuing this litigation and defending against the actions of
the defendants are expected to be significant and could adversely
affect  the  Trust's  resources and  liquidity.   The  Trust  has
entered  into  negotiations with MLI regarding the settlement  of
the  litigation,  including the purchase  by  the  Trust  of  the
unsecured notes payable held by MLI at a discount.  There can  be
no assurance that the Trust will be able to consummate a purchase
of  the  notes with MLI or otherwise effect a settlement of  this
litigation.


     Based upon the Trust's current liquidity, and in view of the
improving  performance  of  the  Trust's  properties,  the  Trust
declared  a  $0.04 distribution payable on October  23,  1995  to
shareholders of record on October 12, 1995.  Future distributions
will be evaluated on a quarterly basis.

       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.  At September 30, 1995, the face  amount  at
maturity  and  the  accreted value of  the  defeased  Notes  were
$16,365,000 and $12,727,000, respectively.

       Capitalized  improvements  and  leasing  commissions  were
$793,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 as compared
to  $1,251,000  for the same period in 1994.   This  decrease  is
primarily   related  to  the  significant  increase  in   overall
occupancy  which occurred during the first nine months  of  1994.
In  August  1995,  the  Trust  purchased  a  72,000  square  foot
warehouse/distribution  property in  Arlington,  Texas  for  $1.3
million.   The  Trust  expects an initial  unleveraged  yield  in
excess of 12% on this property.

     At September 30, 1995, the Trust had $17,632,000 in mortgage
debt   outstanding.   Of  this  amount,  $1,945,000   represented
variable rate financing (with a weighted average interest rate of
10.75%) and $15,687,000 represented fixed rate financing  (with a
weighted average interest rate of 8.85%).



                   PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.Legal Proceedings.

      On  May  1,  1995,  the Trust filed a lawsuit  against  The
Manufacturers  Life  Insurance  Company  ("MLI")  in  the   134th
Judicial District Court in Dallas, Texas.  The suit alleges  that
MLI,  which on April 21, 1995, had declared the Trust in  default
for  non-monetary violations of the Note Purchase Agreement,  had
breached  the Note Purchase Agreement between MLI and  the  Trust
and  had unlawfully sought to coerce the Trust into relinquishing
certain  of its rights.  Specifically, the suit alleges that  MLI
and  certain other entities had engaged in acts of bad faith  and
conspiracy  in  an attempt to force the Trust to consent  to  the
transfer of the notes to a third party.

      On  May 26, 1995, a First Amended Petition, Application for
Declaratory Judgment, and Application for Injunctive  Relief  was
filed,  naming Fidelity Management and Research Company, Fidelity
Galileo  Fund  L.P., Belmont Capital Partners II, L.P.,  Fidelity
Puritan  Trust, and Fidelity Management Trust Company  (together,
the "Fidelity Entities") as additional defendants.

     On June 26, 1995, a Second Amended Petition, Application for
Declaratory Judgment, and Application for Injunctive  Relief  was
filed, specifying damages to the Trust of up to $20,000,000, plus
an unspecified amount for punitive damages.

     On October 3, 1995, The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company
(U.S.A.),  Inc.  ("MLI-USA") intervened in the lawsuit  asserting
ownership of one of the notes.  On the same day, MLI and  MLI-USA
filed  counterclaims against the Trust seeking  recovery  of  all
amounts  due  under the notes.  On October 19,  1995,  the  Trust
filed answers to these counterclaims.

      On October 18, 1995, MLI filed an Application for Temporary
Restraining  Order  and Injunctions in the  lawsuit,  seeking  to
enjoin  the  Trust  from  paying  a  scheduled  dividend  to  its
shareholders  on  October 23, 1995.  On  October  20,  1995,  the
court, after hearing argument, denied MLI's Application.

      On  October 19, 1995, a Third Amended Petition, Application
for  Declaratory Judgment, and Application for Injunctive  Relief
was  filed by the Trust, stating that MLI had wrongfully declared
a default and wrongfully accelerated the maturity of the notes.

      The  Trust has entered into negotiations with MLI regarding
the  settlement of the litigation, including the purchase by  the
Trust  of  the unsecured notes payable held by MLI at a discount.
There  can  be  no  assurance that the  Trust  will  be  able  to
consummate a purchase of the notes with MLI or otherwise effect a
settlement of this litigation.


Item 3.Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

       Reference  is  made  to  Item  3.,  Defaults  Upon  Senior
Securities,  in the Trust's Form 10-Q for the period ending  June
30, 1995.  As of September 30, 1995, the Trust has $45,239,000 in
principal  indebtedness  to MLI and approximately  $3,744,000  of
accrued  interest  thereon.   The  accrued  interest  reflects  a
default rate of 11.7% effective June 13, 1995.
