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 June 30, 2000, and the results of its operations
    for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 and cash flows for the six
    months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.

    The accounting policies followed by the Trust are set forth in Note 1 to
    the Trust's financial statements in the 1999 Form 10-K, which are
    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.

Net income was $2.37 and $4.77 per share for the three months and six months
ended June 30, 2000, repsectively, compared to $2.63 and $4.26 for the three
months and six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively.

The Trust paid distributions of $3.96 and $7.92 per share for the three months
and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, compared to $3.60 and $7.20
per share for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively.
