Notes to Financial Statements
1. In the opinion of the Trust, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Trust's
financial position as of September 30, 2000, and the results of its
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 and cash
flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.
The accounting policies followed by the Trust are set forth in Note 1 to

incorporated herein by reference.
2. In 1987, the Trust elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust
and, as such, will not be taxed on that portion of its taxable income
which is distributed to shareholders provided that at least 95% of its
real estate investment trust taxable income is distributed.
The Trust intends to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust
and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the
financial statements.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The $45,955 or $0.40 per share gain on sale of rental properties was attributed
to the sale of 3090 Sunrise Boulevard in Rancho Cordova, California in July,
2000.
The $92,558 or $0.73 per share loss on sale of rental properties was
attributed to the sale of 170-174 West Shaw Avenue in Clovis, California in
March, 2000.
Net income was $2.79 and $7.54 per share for the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 2000, respectively, compared to $2.56 and $6.82 for the
three months and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively.
The Trust paid distributions of $3.96 and $11.88 per share for the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, compared to
$3.96 and $11.16 per share for the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 1999, respectively.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
The Trust expects that operating income, proceeds from the sale of properties,
collections on notes receivable, and borrowings collateralized by specific
properties will provide for its future liquidity and capital resource needs.
