ITEM 2.              ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS


           On June 24, 1997,  Value  Property  Trust (the "Trust")  received net
proceeds of $40.1  million from the sale of three real estate  properties  to an
unaffiliated third party. The carrying value of these real estate properties was
approximately $28.6 million.  The properties were located in California and were
divested based on a number of factors  including the price offered,  the Trust's
evaluation of the property's  potential for future  appreciation and the current
return to the Trust.  The Trust  continues  to operate  23  properties  in eight
states.

           Two of the sold  properties  were  encumbered  under the terms of the
indenture relating to the Floating Rate Notes (the "New Indenture").  On July 1,
1997,  the Trust used $22.1  million  of the net  proceeds  from the sale of the
encumbered  properties  to prepay a  portion  of the  Floating  Rate  Notes,  as
required under the terms of the New Indenture.

           During the second  quarter of fiscal 1997, as previously  reported on
Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 1997, the
Trust  received net proceeds of $28.2  million from the sale of four real estate
properties to unaffiliated third parties.  These sales occurred between February
21, 1997 and March 17, 1997. The carrying value of these real estate  properties
was  approximately  $22.4 million.  Three of the  properties,  located in Maine,
Oregon and Washington,  are outside of the geographic regions in which the Trust
is focusing its ongoing operating  activities.  The fourth property,  located in
Pennsylvania,  was  divested  based on a number of factors  including  the price
offered,   the  Trust's  evaluation  of  the  property's  potential  for  future
appreciation and the then current return to the Trust.

           Two of the  properties  sold during the second quarter of fiscal 1997
were encumbered  under the terms of the indenture  relating to the Floating Rate
Notes (the "New  Indenture").  The Trust used $11.1  million of the net proceeds
from the sale of the  encumbered  properties to prepay a portion of the Floating
Rate Notes on March 3, 1997 and April 1, 1997,  as  required  under the terms of
the New Indenture.


ITEM 7.              FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS


                     (b) Pro Forma Financial Information

           The Pro  Forma  Balance  Sheet as of March  31,  1997,  the Pro Forma
Statement of Operations for the Six Months Ended March 31, 1997 and for the Year
Ended  September 30, 1996,  which are attached as Appendix A, hereto,  have been
prepared to reflect the sale of seven real estate  properties  and the repayment
of related debt. The pro-forma  financial  information is based on and should be
read in  conjunction  with the  historical  financial  statements  and the notes
thereto  filed as part of the  Trust's  quarterly  report  on Form  10-Q for the
quarter ended March 31, 1997 and the Trust's  annual report on Form 10-K for the


                                       -2-
<PAGE>
fiscal year ended  September  30, 1996.  The Pro Forma Balance Sheet as of March
31, 1997 was  prepared as if the third  quarter  property  sales and the related
loan  repayment  had  occurred on March 31,  1997.  In  addition,  the Pro Forma
Balance  Sheet as of March 31, 1997  reflects the loan  repayment  from a second
quarter property sale which was required on April 1, 1997 under the terms of the
New  Indenture.  The Pro Forma  Statement of Operations for the six months ended
March 31, 1997 and for the year ended September 30, 1996 were prepared as if the
property  sales which  occurred  during the second and third  quarters of fiscal
1997 and the related loan  repayments  had occurred on October 1, 1995.  The pro
forma financial  information is unaudited and not necessarily  indicative of the
results  that would have  actually  occurred  had the seven  property  sales and
related loan  repayments  been  consummated  at the beginning of fiscal 1996 nor
does it purport to represent  the  financial  position and results of operations
for future periods.

                    NOTES AND MANAGEMENT'S ASSUMPTIONS TO THE
                    UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                      MARCH 31, 1997 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The  accompanying  Pro  Forma  Balance  Sheet as of March  31,  1997 is
presented as if the real estate  property  sales which occurred on June 24, 1997
and the related loan repayment had occurred on March 31, 1997. In addition,  the
Pro Forma Balance Sheet as of March 31, 1997 reflects the loan  repayment from a
second quarter property sale which was required on April 1, 1997 under the terms
of the New Indenture.

         The  accompanying  Pro Forma Statement of Operations for the six months
ended March 31, 1997 and for the year ended  September 30, 1996 are presented as
if the real estate  property  sales which  occurred  during the second and third
quarters of fiscal 1997 and the related loan  repayments had occurred on October
1, 1995.  The Pro Forma  Statements  of  Operations do not assume an increase in
investment income for the periods presented.

         These pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the  historical  financial  statements and notes hereto as of March 31, 1997 and
September  30, 1996 filed as part of the Trust's  quarterly  report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 and the Trust's  annual report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended  September  30, 1996,  respectively.  In  management's
opinion,  all adjustments  necessary to reflect the effects of these real estate
property sales by the Trust have been made.

         The  unaudited  pro  forma  financial  statements  are not  necessarily
indicative  of the actual  financial  position  as of March 31, 1997 or what the
actual results of operations  would have been assuming the real estate  property
sales had been  consummated  on  October  1,  1995,  nor do they  represent  the
financial position and results of operations for future periods.

NOTE 2 - ADJUSTMENTS TO THE PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A) Reflects the net proceeds of $40.1  million  received  from the sale of three
real estate  properties with a carrying value of approximately  $28.4 million as
of March 31, 1997.  Reflects the use of $22.1  million of the net proceeds  from
the sale of two encumbered properties during the third quarter of fiscal 1997 to
prepay a portion of the Floating Rate Notes,  as required under the terms of the
New  Indenture.  Reflects the use of $6.8  million of the net proceeds  from the
sale of an  encumbered  property  during  the second  quarter of fiscal  1997 to
prepay a portion of the  Floating  Rate  Notes,  which was  required on April 1,
1997, under the terms of the New Indenture.

B) Reflects the reversal of revenue and expense  associated  with the operations
of the four properties sold during the second quarter of fiscal 1997.

C) Reflects the  reduction  in interest  expense  related to the two  encumbered
properties sold during the second quarter of fiscal 1997.

VALUE PROPERTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES                                   FORM 8-K

D)  Reflects  the  reversal  of the gain on sales of real  estate, assuming  the
property  sales were  consummated  on October 1, 1995. In  conjunction  with the
adoption of Fresh Start  Reporting on September  30, 1995,  all gains and losses
for a period of one year after such  adoption  are applied  against the carrying
value of long lived assets held for  investment.  Therefore,  as a result of the
adoption of Fresh Start  Reporting,  the pro forma  statement of operations does
not report the gain on sale of $6.1  million in net  income,  from the four real
estate sales during the second  quarter of fiscal 1997,  but rather  applies the
$6.1 million as a reduction of the carrying  value of the remaining  assets held
for investment.

E) Reflects the reversal of revenue and expense  associated  with the operations
of the three properties sold during the third quarter of fiscal 1997.

F) Reflects the  reduction  in interest  expense  related to the two  encumbered
properties sold during the third quarter of fiscal 1997.

G) Reflects the reversal of revenue and expense  associated  with the operations
of the four sold properties during the second quarter of fiscal 1997.

H) Reflects the  reduction  in interest  expense  related to the two  encumbered
properties sold during the second quarter of fiscal 1997.

I) Does not  reflect the gain on sales of real  estate,  assuming  the  property
sales were  consummated on October 1, 1995. In conjunction  with the adoption of
Fresh Start  Reporting on September 30, 1995,  all gains and losses for a period
of one year after such adoption are applied  against the carrying  value of long
lived  assets held for  investment.  Therefore,  as a result of the  adoption of
Fresh Start Reporting, the pro forma statement of operations does not report the
gain on sale of $6.1  million in net  income,  from the four real  estate  sales
during the second quarter of fiscal 1997, but rather applies the $6.1 million as
a reduction of the carrying value of the remaining assets held for investment.

J) Reflects the reversal of revenue and expense  associated  with the operations
of the four sold properties during the third quarter of fiscal 1997.

K) Reflects the reduction in interest expense related to the two sold encumbered
properties during the third quarter of fiscal 1997.

L) Does not  reflect the gain on sales of real  estate,  assuming  the  property
sales were  consummated on October 1, 1995. In conjunction  with the adoption of
Fresh Start  Reporting on September 30, 1995,  all gains and losses for a period
of one year after such adoption are applied  against the carrying  value of long
lived  assets held for  investment.  Therefore,  as a result of the  adoption of
Fresh Start Reporting, the pro forma statement of operations does not report the
gain on sale of $11.7  million in net income,  from the three real estate  sales
during the third quarter of fiscal 1997, but rather applies the $11.7 million as
a reduction of the carrying value of the remaining assets held for investment.
