ITEM 2.              ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS


           Value  Property  Trust (the  "Trust")  received net cash  proceeds of
$28.2 million from the sale of four real estate properties to unaffiliated third
parties,  which  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 evalutation of the
property's  potential  for future  appreciation  and the  current  return to the
Trust. The Trust continues to operate 26 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").  The Trust
used $4.3  million  and $6.8  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,  respectively,  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 December 31, 1996 and the Pro Forma
Statement of  Operations  for the Three  Months Ended  December 31, 1996 and the
Year Ended  September 30, 1996,  which are attached as Appendix A, hereto,  have
been  prepared  to  reflect  the sale of four  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  statemtents and the
notes thereto filed as part of the Trust's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended  December 31, 1996 and the Trust's  annual report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal  year ended  September  30,  1996.  The Pro Forma  Balance  Sheet was
prepared as if the property  sales and loan  repayment  had occurred on December
31,  1996.  The Pro Forma  Statements  of  Operations  were  prepared  as if the
property sales and loan repayment 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 property sales and loan repayment been
consummated  at the  beginning  of fiscal  1997 or 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
                    DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The  accompanying  Pro Forma  Balance  Sheet as of December 31, 1996 is
presented as if the real estate property sales occurred on December 31, 1996.

         The accompanying Pro Forma Statements of Operations are presented as if
the real estate property sales occurred on October 1, 1995.

         These pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the historical financial statements and notes hereto as of December 31, 1996 and
September  30, 1996 filed as part of the Trust's  quarterly  report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter  ended  December 31, 1996 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 December 31, 1996 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 cash  proceeds of $28.2  million  received  from the sale of
four real estate properties with a carring value of $22.4 million.  Reflects the
use of  $11.2  million  of the net  proceeds  from  the  sale of two  encumbered
properties to prepay a portion of the Floating Rate Notes, as required under the
terms of the New Indenture.

B) Reflects the reversal of revenue and expense  associated  with the operations
of the four sold properties for the three months ended December 31, 1996.

C) Reflects the  adjustment of investment  income to reflect the increase in the
average cash position of  approximately  $17.0 million at an average  investment
rate of 5.0% for the three months ended December 31, 1996.

D) Reflects the reduction in interest expense related to the two sold encumbered
properties.

E) Reflects the reversal of revenue and expense  associated  with the operations
of the four sold properties for the year ended September 30, 1996.

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

NOTE 2 - ADJUSTMENTS TO THE PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

F) Reflects the  adjustment of investment  income to reflect the increase in the
average cash position of  approximately  $17.0 million at an average  investment
rate of 5.0% for the year ended September 30, 1996.

G) Reflects the reduction in interest expense related to the two sold encumbered
properties.

H) 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 $5.5 million in net
income but rather  applies the $5.5 million as a reduction of the carrying value
of the remaining assets held for investment.
