3. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Trust owns and operates real estate properties located
principally in the Midwest and Southeast United States. The Trust has
three operating segments corresponding to the three property types
comprising its real estate assets: flex/industrial, office and retail. As
of March 31, 2000, the flex/industrial segment was comprised of twelve
complexes with long-term leases to approximately 170 tenants; the office
segment was comprised of fourteen office sites with long-term leases to
approximately 270 tenants; and the retail segment was comprised of one
retail center with long-term leases to approximately 50 tenants. As of
March 31, 1999, the flex/industrial segment was comprised of thirteen
complexes, the office segment was comprised of fourteen office sites and
the retail segment was comprised of one retail center. Prior to the sale
of the Oklahoma Apartment Portfolio in December 1999, a fourth segment -
the residential segment - was comprised of four apartment complexes with
864 units. The Trust's long-term tenants are in a variety of businesses
and no individual tenant is significant to the Trust's business when
considered as a whole.
Information by business segments is set forth below:

4. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
DISTRIBUTIONS
On April 5, 2000, the Trust declared a cash distribution for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 of $0.12 per share payable May 22, 2000 to
shareholders of record on April 21, 2000.
FINANCING
On May 1, 2000, the Trust entered into a loan agreement with LaSalle
Bank National Association which provides for a loan in the amount of
$12,100, which can be drawn in four installments. The amount of $8,500 was
drawn on May 1, 2000. The loan, which is collateralized by the Trust's
Johns Creek Office and Industrial Park and Technology Park properties,
bears interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.2% and is payable
monthly. The loan principal is pre-payable without penalty and matures in
one year. The proceeds from the first draw were utilized primarily to
repay the amounts outstanding on a line of credit which came due on May 1,
2000 and which was previously collateralized by Johns Creek Office and
Industrial Park and Technology Park, and secondarily for transaction costs.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
Certain statements in this quarterly report that are not historical in
fact constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are
based on our current expectations, estimates and projections. These
statements are not a guaranty of future performance. Without limiting the
foregoing, words such as "believes," "intends," "anticipates," "expects,"
and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements
which are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, among
other things:
. general real estate investment risks;
. potential inability to raise capital by either equity or debt;
. potential inability to repay or refinance indebtedness at
maturity;
. increases in interest rates;
. adverse consequences of failure to qualify as a REIT; and
. possible environmental liabilities.
Actual results could differ materially from those projected in these
forward-looking statements. See "Managements's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk Factors" in the annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 for a more
complete discussion.
We are a self-administered infinite life real estate investment trust
("REIT"), organized as a Massachusetts business trust, which owns and
operates primarily office and flex/industrial properties. We operate
principally through BSRT UPREIT Limited Partnership, referred to as the
Operating Partnership, and its subsidiaries. BSRT UPREIT Corp., a wholly-
owned subsidiary, is the General Partner of the Operating Partnership. As
of March 31, 2000, we were the sole limited partner of BSRT UPREIT Limited
Partnership.
Our Board of Trustees has recently formed a committee comprised
entirely of our independent trustees to begin the process of evaluating
strategic alternatives. The results of this review may significantly
change our future business plan compared to the strategies that we have
pursued over the last several years. Further, pending this review, we have
not acquired any new properties and have not taken any specific steps to
increase the amount of capital available for acquisitions.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
As of March 31, 2000, we owned individually, or, in some cases through
joint ventures, twenty-seven properties consisting of:
. fourteen office properties totaling 1.5 million rentable square
feet;
. twelve flex/industrial properties totaling 1.7 million rentable
square feet;
. one retail property which contains 321,600 rentable square
feet.
COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 1999
During the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 our income
before minority interest and extraordinary item totaled approximately $1.3
million and approximately $1.4 million, respectively. The approximate $0.1
<PAGE>
million decrease resulted from a reduction in total revenue of
approximately $1.1 million offset by a decrease in total expenses of
approximately $1.0 million. In particular, our total revenues decreased by
approximately $1.1 million or 10.6% to approximately $9.3 million from
approximately $10.4 million, due to a decrease in the number of properties
that we own. On a "same-store" basis (comparing the results of operations
of the properties owned during the entire three months ended March 31, 2000
with the results of the same properties owned during the entire three
months ended March 31, 1999), total revenues decreased by approximately
$0.1 million. This decrease was caused by lower occupancy at two of our
properties, the Colonial Penn Building and Airways Plaza Office Center.
These properties were 72% and 10% occupied at March 31, 2000, respectively,
compared to 100% and 91% occupancy levels at March 31, 1999. The occupancy
at these two properties was lower than our historical levels as a result of
the termination of several leases during 1999. Our ability to achieve
"same-store" growth in revenue in the future will be dependent on the time
it takes to re-lease this and future vacant space and the rental rates at
which we obtain new tenants.
Our total operating expenses, which include property operating,
repairs and maintenance, real estate taxes, and ground lease decreased by
approximately $0.5 million to approximately $3.0 million from approximately
$3.5 million in 1999. We attribute all of this decrease to the fact that
we own fewer properties. Interest expense decreased by approximately $0.5
million to approximately $2.4 million from approximately $2.9 million
primarily due to a reduction in the amounts borrowed as a result of 1999
dispositions.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We expect to fund our short-term liquidity needs, including recurring
capital expenditures, from our working capital (including the restricted
cash which is available for capital expenditures, real estate taxes and
insurance), and from income derived primarily from our property operations.
We anticipate using these monies to fund periodic tenant-related capital
expenditures and other capital improvements. Assuming that our Board of
Trustees continues to authorize the payment of distributions consistent
with historical per share amounts, we believe that our Funds Available for
Distribution (as defined below) will be sufficient for the twelve months
after the date of this report to pay quarterly distributions of $0.12 per
common share.
We expect to fund our long-term liquidity needs, including funds
necessary for non-recurring capital improvements and funds required if we
decide to acquire and develop property, from long-term and short-term
secured debt. If we require additional liquidity to fund a portion of the
cost of improving properties in the future, we expect to borrow under our
credit facility or to mortgage our Avalon Ridge Business Park which is our
only unencumbered property.
At March 31, 2000, our assets totaled approximately $198.2 million, a
decrease of approximately $8.4 million from total assets at December 31,
1999 of approximately $206.6 million. Our liabilities totaled
approximately $125.1 million at March 31, 2000, a decrease of
approximately $14.0 million from a total of approximately $139.1 million at
December 31, 1999. Our shareholders equity increased by approximately $5.5
million to approximately $70.8 million at March 31, 2000 from approximately
$65.3 million at December 31, 1999.
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments.
Our cash and cash equivalents balance was approximately $4.9 million at
March 31, 2000 and approximately $13.1 million at December 31, 1999. The
decrease in total cash and cash equivalents resulted from using
approximately $0.9 million in investing activities and approximately $9.3
million in financing activities, while receiving approximately $2.0 million
from operating activities.
<PAGE>
Cash Flows From Operating Activities: Net cash provided by operating
activities decreased by approximately $0.4 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 to approximately $2.0 million from approximately $2.4
million in 1999. This decrease is primarily due to period to period
changes in certain assets and liabilities including restricted cash, other
assets, accounts payable and other assets and liabilities effecting
operating activities. Net income adjusted for depreciation and
amortization and minority interest remained the same at approximately $3.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. See Results of
Operations above for further discussion of the operations of our real
estate assets.
Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate
companies, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
("NAREIT"), an industry trade group, has promulgated a standard known as
"Funds from Operations", or "FFO" for short, which it believes more
accurately reflects the operating property performance of a REIT such as
our company. As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income computed in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), less
extraordinary items, excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring
and sales of property plus depreciation and amortization and after
adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We have
adopted the NAREIT definition for computing FFO because we believe that,
subject to the following limitations, FFO provides a basis for comparing
the performance and operations of a REIT such as our company. The
calculation of FFO may vary from entity to entity in that capitalization
and expense policies may vary from entity to entity. Items which are
capitalized do not decrease FFO whereas items that are expensed decrease
FFO. As such, our presentation of FFO may not be comparable to other
similarly titled measures presented by other REIT's. We do not intend for
FFO to be an alternative to Net Income as an indication of our performance
nor an alternative to Cash Flows from Operating Activities (as calculated
in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our capacity to pay distributions.
For the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, our properties
generated FFO of approximately $2.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively.
FFO decreased on a year to year basis due primarily to a decrease in the
number of properties owned from period to period.

FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 is calculated

Our ability to pay any distribution is influenced by the amount of
money that we have available to distribute known as Funds Available for
Distribution or "FAD" for short. FAD is calculated by increasing or
decreasing FFO to give effect to items such as the impact of straight-
lining rents, lease commissions paid and normalized reserves for capital
improvements. We reserve approximately $0.075 per square foot for
flex/industrial properties, $0.10 per square foot for office properties,
$0.15 per square foot for retail property and $200 per residential unit.
The ability to make future distributions to our shareholders is
dependent upon, among other things:
. the strategic course determined by our Board of Trustees as a
result of their strategic review;
. sustaining the operating performance of our existing real
estate investments through scheduled increases in base rents under existing
leases and through general improvement in the real estate markets where our
properties are located; and
. our level of operating expenses.
FAD for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 is calculated

Cash Flows From Investing Activities: During the three months ended
March 31, 2000, we used approximately $0.9 million in investing activities
compared to approximately $1.9 million in the same period in 1999. Cash
flow was primarily used during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to
make capital improvements at our various properties in the amount of
approximately $1.1 million. In comparison, during the same period in 1999,
we made capital improvements in the amount of approximately $1.5 million.
Cash Flows From Financing Activities: During the three months ended
March 31, 2000, financing activities used approximately $9.3 million
compared to approximately $1.9 million in the same period in 1999. During
the three months ended March 31, 2000, we used cash primarily to make
principal payments on mortgage loans, and on an unsecured loan payable of
approximately $7.6 million and to pay distributions to shareholders of
approximately $1.7 million. The cash flows used by financing activities
for the three months ended March 31, 1999 resulted primarily from
distributions paid to shareholders of approximately $1.6 million and
principal payments on mortgage loans and bonds payable of approximately
$0.4 million.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On May 1, 2000, we entered into a loan agreement with LaSalle Bank
National Association which provides for a loan in the amount of $12.1
million, which we can draw in four installments. The amount of $8.5
million was drawn on May 1, 2000. The loan which is collateralized by the
Trust's Johns Creek Office and Industrial Park and Technology Park
properties, bears interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.2% and
is payable monthly. The loan principal is pre-payable without penalty and
matures in one year. We utilized the proceeds from the first draw
primarily to repay the amounts outstanding on a line of credit which was
due on May 1, 2000 and which was previously collateralized by Johns Creek
Office and Industrial Park and Technology Park, and secondarily for
transaction costs.
<PAGE>
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
We do not engage in any hedge transaction nor in the ownership of any
derivative financial instruments. To mitigate the impact of fluctuations
in interest rates, we generally have maintained over 70% of our debt as
fixed rate in nature by borrowing on a long-term basis.
As of March 31, 2000, we had approximately $118.9 million of
outstanding long-term debt, of which $20.6 million bears interest at
variable rates that are adjusted on a monthly basis. As of March 31, 2000,
the weighted-average interest rate on this variable rate debt was 7.47%.
If interest rates on this variable rate debt increased by one percentage
point (1%), interest expense would increase by $206,000 on an annual basis.

and FFO of $2.8 million, or $0.205 per share during the first quarter the
previous year. EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and
amortization) in the recent quarter was $5.4 million.
PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE
- ---------------------
Total revenue for the first quarter 2000 was $9.3 million, which represents
a decrease of 10.6 percent from the $10.4 million in revenue reported
during the same period last year. This decrease is due to a reduction in
the number of properties owned by Banyan during the first quarter 2000
subsequent to the disposition of an office/warehouse property and the
entire residential portfolio in late 1999.
On a "same-store" basis when comparing the operational results of the same
properties owned by Banyan during the first quarter 2000 with the same
period last year, total revenues decreased by approximately $0.1 million.
This decrease is primarily attributable to lower occupancy at two of the
properties during the recent quarter.
The average occupancy rate at Banyan's 27 properties was 88 percent at
March 31, 2000.
