1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In  the  opinion  of  management  of  Property Capital Trust (the "Trust"), the
accompanying   unaudited   consolidated  financial   statements   contain   all
adjustments,  consisting of normal  and  recurring  adjustments,  necessary  to
present fairly  the  Trust's  financial position as of October 31, 1995 and the
results of its operations and its  cash flows for the periods ended October 31,
1995 and 1994.

Operating  results  for  the  three months  ended  October  31,  1995  are  not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of
fiscal 1996.  The information contained in these financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the Trust's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 30, 1995.

2.  INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS

Certain of the Trust's investments  have  been  made through partnerships, or a
participation  agreement, in which the Trust is the  general  partner  or  lead
lender and other  institutional  investors are limited partners or participants
(the "Investment Partnerships").   Based  upon  generally  accepted  accounting
principles  the  Trust  uses  the  equity  method to account for its Investment
Partnerships.

During  the quarter ended October 31, 1995, three  of  the  Trust's  Investment
Partnerships   disposed  of  investments.   PCA  Southwest  Associates  Limited
Partnership  ("Southwest"),   an   Investment  Partnership  which  owned  2,848
apartments in Houston, Texas, sold the  Chimney  Rock project (714 units) to an
unrelated party resulting in a gain to the Trust of  $1,000.   The  Trust has a
45.45% general partner interest in Southwest.  PCA Crossroads Associates,  Ltd.
("Crossroads"),  an  Investment Partnership which owned the land underlying the
Crossroads  Mall in Boulder,  Colorado,  sold  its  investment  to  its  lessee
resulting in  a gain to the Trust of $3,500,000.  The Trust has a 25.0% general
partner interest  in  Crossroads.   In  August 1995, PCA Canyon View Associates
Limited  Partnership  ("Canyon  View"), an Investment  Partnership  which  held
Structured Transactions in Phases I and II of the Canyon View apartments in San
Ramon, California, settled certain  litigation.  The Investment Partnership, of
which the Trust owns a 23.8% general  partner  interest, received $300,000 from
the first mortgagee of Phase I for permitting it  to  take title to Phase I and
the  Investment  Partnership took title to Phase II and received  the  proceeds
from two letters of  credit  aggregating  $1,750,000.   At that time, the Trust
wrote down its investment in this Investment Partnership  by  $1,537,000.  This
write-down was charged against the Trust's previously established allowance for
possible investment losses.

3.  INDEBTEDNESS

During  the  quarter  ended  October  31,  1995,  the Trust redeemed $4,000,000
principal  amount  of  10% Convertible Subordinated Debentures  at  their  face
amount..  The Trust recognized an extraordinary loss from the extinguishment of
debt of $63,000 due to the write-off of the debentures issue costs.

ITEM  1.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND
RESULTS OF
             OPERATIONS

REVISED BUSINESS PLAN

For the past several years, the Trust's business plan had focused on maximizing
shareholder  values  through  asset, portfolio and liability management and the
selective disposition of investments.   This  business plan was in large part a
response to the impact of the recent recession  on  the  real  estate industry.
During  the  time  this  plan  was  in effect, the Trust retained much  of  its
portfolio.  Following improvements in  rental  rates and occupancies throughout
the portfolio attributable to improving economic  conditions  and  considerable
progress made by management in resolving problems affecting the portfolio,  the
Trustees  reevaluated  the business plan.  The Trustees concluded that the best
means to maximize shareholder  values  is to provide for an orderly disposition
of the Trust's investments (the "revised  business  plan").   The Trustees also
considered  and  rejected  other strategies, such as a business combination  or
expanding the Trust, as being unlikely to be consummated or inappropriate given
their belief that the Trust's stock price is not reflective of the value of the
Trust's assets.  The Trustees  anticipate  that  the revised business plan will
involve  dispositions  of  Owned Properties and Structured  Transactions  on  a
property-by-property basis,  although  the  Trust  will consider bulk sales and
other opportunities that may arise which expedite the  disposition process.  At
the  Trust's  Annual  Meeting of Shareholders held on December  15,  1995,  the
Trust's shareholders ratified  the  new  business  plan  and  approved  certain
amendments to the Trust's Declaration of Trust necessary for the implementation
of the plan.

To the extent the Trust receives net proceeds from sales of its properties, the
Trust  intends  to  utilize  such  net  proceeds  to  retire  debt  and/or make
distributions  to  shareholders.   No  assurances  can be given as to the  time
required to carry out the plan (although the Trustees currently anticipate that
the plan can be fully implemented within three to five  years) or the prices at
which the properties can be sold.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Trust's debt at October 31, 1995 was $67,774,000 as compared to $71,816,000
at  July  31,  1995.   The Trust's debt to equity ratio decreased  to  .70x  at
October 31, 1995 from .77x  at July 31, 1995.  The decrease in the Trust's debt
was primarily due to the redemption of $4,000,000 aggregate principal amount of
the Trust's 10% Convertible Subordinated  Debentures  on  September  1, 1995 at
their face amount.  The improvement in the debt to equity ratio is due  to  the
redemption  of  the 10% debentures and an increase in shareholders' equity as a
result of a $3,500,000 gain on the sale of Crossroads Mall.

The Trust's bank note payable, which has no outstanding balance, is a revolving
bank line that provided   available  credit of $10,000,000 at October 31, 1995,
an amount which the Trust believes is  adequate  to  meet  its  working capital
requirements for the foreseeable future.

Subsequent  to the end of the quarter, on December 1, 1995, the Trust  redeemed
another $8,000,000  of  its  10%  Convertible  Subordinated Debentures from the
proceeds  of  the sale of certain real estate investments.   Additionally,  the
Trust  has  called  for  the  redemption  of  another  $3,000,000  of  the  10%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures on January 5, 1996 at their face amount.

Management believes  that  with  cash provided by operating activities retained
after dividends and the Trust's borrowing  capacity  under  its  existing  bank
line,  the  Trust  will  be  able to meet its fiscal 1996 cash requirements for
anticipated capital expenditures on Owned Properties held directly by the Trust
and a $300,000 funding requirement on a Structured Transaction held directly by
the Trust.  The Trust currently expects that these cash requirements will total
approximately $1,700,000 during  the  remainder  of  fiscal 1996.  Further, the
Trust believes that these same sources will be sufficient  to  fund its capital
expenditure  requirements and anticipated long-term liquidity requirements  for
the foreseeable  future.   As  discussed  above,  the  Trust intends to use the
proceeds received from the sale of its real estate investments  to  retire debt
and/or make distributions to shareholders.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

Funds  from  Operations is considered by the REIT industry to be an appropriate
measure of performance  of an equity REIT.  Funds from Operations is calculated
by the Trust consistent with the National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trusts' definition (Funds  from  Operations  equals net income, excluding gains
(losses) from debt restructurings, sales of properties and extraordinary items,
plus  depreciation  and  amortization and after adjustment  for  unconsolidated
partnerships and joint ventures).   Funds  from Operations should be considered
in conjunction with net income as presented  in the Trust's unaudited financial
statements.   Funds  from  Operations  does  not  represent  cash  provided  by
operating   activities   in  accordance  with  generally  accepted   accounting
principles and should not  be  considered  as  a substitute for net income as a
measure of results of operations or for cash provided  by  operating activities
as a measure of liquidity.  Funds from Operations was calculated  by  the Trust
as follows:

REVIEW OF SIGNIFICANT REAL ESTATE ACTIVITY FOR THE QUARTER

APARTMENTS

At  July  31, 1995 the Trust had a $3,277,000 investment  in  PCA  Canyon  View
Associates  Limited Partnership, an Investment Partnership that held Structured
Transactions  in  Phases  I  and II of the Canyon View apartments in San Ramon,
California.  The Investment Partnership's  Phase I investments were subordinate
to a $12,000,000 first mortgage which had a  scheduled  maturity  of  August 1,
1993,  but  was extended to August 1, 1994 in anticipation of a proposed  sale.
Both phases are  also  subject  to non-subordinated land leases held by a third
party.

In August 1994, when it became apparent  that a sale was unlikely to occur, the
first mortgagee initiated a court proceeding  for the appointment of a receiver
for  Phase  I and commenced foreclosure proceedings.   Shortly  thereafter  the
Investment Partnership  initiated  a  court proceeding for the appointment of a
receiver for Phase II and commenced foreclosure proceedings on Phases I and II.
The Investment Partnership was successful  in  having  a receiver appointed for
Phase  II.   In December 1994 the Investment Partnership filed  for  protection
under Chapter  11  of  the  U.S.  Bankruptcy Code.  Extensive negotiations then
ensued with the Investment Partnership's  lessee  and  the  first  mortgagee of
Phase  I.   In  August  1995,  the  litigation  was  settled.   The  Investment
Partnership,  of which the Trust owns a 23.8% interest, received $300,000  from
the first mortgagee  of  Phase I for permitting it to take title to Phase I and
the Investment Partnership  took  title  to  Phase II and received the proceeds
from two letters of credit aggregating $1,750,000.   The  Trust's  share of the
loss resulting from these transactions was $1,537,000 which had been previously
provided for in the Trust's allowance for possible investment losses.   At this
time  management is evaluating potential strategies for Phase II, which is  now
wholly owned by the Investment Partnership.

In September  1995, PCA Southwest Associates Limited Partnership, an Investment
Partnership in which the Trust owns a 45.45% general partner interest, sold the
Chimney Rock apartments,  a  714 unit complex, to an unrelated third party.  In
July 1995 the Trust reclassified  this asset to assets held for sale, and wrote
the property down by $54,000.  A $1,000  gain  was realized by the Trust on the
sale.  As previously reported,PCA Southwest Associates  Limited Partnership was
in default under the terms of the first mortgage on Telegraph Hill - Phase B, a
259 unit complex, due to nonpayment of principal and interest.   Management was
unable  to restructure this $2,487,000 mortgage loan and therefore  transferred
title of  this  asset  to  the first mortgagee in December 1995.  Additionally,
subsequent  to  the  end  of the  quarter,  PCA  Southwest  Associates  Limited
Partnership prepaid in full  the  $2,925,000  first  mortgage  on St. Charles -
Phase A, at a $154,000 discount.

ITEM  1.   MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF FINANCIAL CONDITION  AND
RESULTS OF
             OPERATIONS (continued)

Subsequent to the end of the quarter the Trust granted  its lessee an option to
repurchase  the land underlying the Bluffs II apartments for  $2,150,000.   The
option expires  May  31,  1996.   The  Trust's  investment  in  this Structured
Transaction was $825,000 at October 31, 1995.  For the year ended July 31, 1995
the Trust earned $215,400 on this investment.  At this time the Trust is unable
to predict whether this option will be exercised.

OFFICE BUILDINGS

The Trust currently has three office properties classified as assets  held  for
sale.   Citibank  Office  Plaza  - Oak Brook was reclassified to Asset Held for
Sale directly by the Trust at July  31,  1995  and  was  written  down  to  its
expected  sales  proceeds.   The  Trust has executed a letter of intent with an
institution for the sale of this property,  which  sale  is  still  subject  to
negotiation  of  an  acceptable  sales  contract  and  the  completion  of  the
purchaser's  due diligence.  No further loss on this investment is anticipated.
The other two office buildings held for sale, Financial Plaza and College Hills
8, located in  Overland Park, Kansas, are held in an Investment Partnership and
are currently being marketed.

SHOPPING CENTERS

The Investment Partnership  which  owned  the land under the Crossroads Mall in
Boulder, Colorado, sold its investment back  to its lessee.  The Trust received
approximately $5,500,000 of sales proceeds on its $2,000,000 investment.

Loehmann's  Fashion  Island,  in  Aventura, Florida,  an  Owned  Property  held
directly by the Trust, suffered a decrease  in the leased rate from 90% at July
31, 1995 to 87% at October 31, 1995.  As previously  reported,  the  Trust  has
retained  a  new  property  management and leasing firm.  In the spring of 1996
management intends to reevaluate  its  strategy  for  this  property based upon
leasing performance and expectations at that time.

Plaza West Retail Center, in Overland Park, Kansas, which was  reclassified  to
assets held for sale at July 31, 1995, is currently being marketed for sale.

HOTELS

As previously reported, the Trust had granted its lessee/mortgagor an option to
purchase the Trust's $4,000,000 Structured Transaction investments in Grosvenor
Airport  Inn,  a  206  room  hotel  in  South  San  Francisco,  California, for
$2,500,000.  Subsequent to the end of the quarter this sale closed.  The  Trust
had  previously  restructured  this transaction to provide for a reduced annual
return of $160,000.  The loss on  sale  has  been  fully  provided  for  in the
Trust's allowance for possible investment losses.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS  FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1995 VERSUS THE
THREE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1994

REVENUES

Rents from Owned Properties  held directly by the Trust (base rent plus expense
reimbursements) decreased 26%  for  the  three months ended October 31, 1995 as
compared to the same period in the prior year,  primarily  due  to  the Trust's
sale of the 6110 Executive Boulevard office building in January 1995,  and  the
receipt  by the Trust in the comparable period of the prior year of $404,000 of
non-recurring  income  related to the settlement of a bankruptcy claim filed by
the Trust against a former  tenant  at  Loehmann's  Fashion Island.  Rents from
Owned Properties held directly by the Trust includes rents from Citibank Office
Plaza -Oak Brook which was reclassified to Asset Held  for Sale directly by the
Trust at July 31, 1995.

Base income from Structured Transactions held directly by  the Trust (land rent
and mortgage interest) increased 5% for the three months ended October 31, 1995
as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily  due  to  increased
income from the Grosvenor Airport Inn while under option for repurchase  by its
lessee.

Overage  income  from  Structured  Transactions  held  directly  by  the  Trust
increased  16%  for  the three months ended October 31, 1995 as compared to the
same period in the prior  year, primarily due increased overage income from the
Sandpiper Cove apartments and the City Centre Holiday Inn investments.

ITEM  1.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND
RESULTS OF
             OPERATIONS (continued)

The  Trust's  share  of  income  from  unconsolidated  Investment  Partnerships
increased  282%  for the three months ended October 31, 1995 as compared to the
same period in the  prior  year,  primarily  due  to  the  increased net income
recorded by the Trust from Property Capital Midwest Associates,  L.P.  When the
assets  were  reclassified  to assets held for sale they were written  down  to
their expected sales proceeds;  therefore,  deprecation  is  no longer taken on
these properties.  The increase is also due to improved performance  of certain
properties   in  PCA  Southwest  Associates  Limited  Partnership's  portfolio.
Additionally,  as  previously  reported,  PCA  Canyon  View  Associates Limited
Partnership  settled  pending  litigation and the partnership received  certain
income which had been previously written off by the Trust.

Advisory fee income increased 94%  for  the three months ended October 31, 1995
as compared to the same period in the prior  year  primarily  due  to increased
distributions  paid  by Property Capital Midwest Associates, L.P., one  of  the
Trust's Investment Partnerships.   Interest  income  was earned by the Trust in
the amount of $89,000 for the three months ended October 31, 1995 primarily due
to the short-term investment by the Trust of sales proceeds  during  the period
of time before debentures were redeemed.

EXPENSES

Expenses on Owned Properties held directly by the Trust decreased 14%  for  the
three months ended October 31, 1995 as compared to the same period in the prior
year due to the sale of 6110 Executive Boulevard.  Expenses on Owned Properties
held  directly  by the Trust includes expenses from Citibank Office Plaza - Oak
Brook which was reclassified  to  Asset  Held for Sale directly by the Trust at
July 31, 1995.

Interest expense decreased 18% for the three  months  ended October 31, 1995 as
compared to the same period in the prior year due to the sale of 6110 Executive
Boulevard and the redemption of 10% Convertible Subordinated Debentures, offset
by an increase in interest expense related to Loehmann's Fashion Island.

Depreciation expense decreased 10% for the three months  ended October 31, 1995
as compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily  due  to  sale  of
6110  Executive  Boulevard  in January 1995, the elimination of depreciation on
Citibank Office Plaza - Oak Brook, due to the reclassification of this asset to
Asset Held for Sale directly  by  the Trust, offset in part by the write-off of
certain  tenant  improvements  at  Loehmann's  Fashion  Island  due  to  tenant
moveouts.

General  and administrative expenses  increased  69%  due  to  the  accrual  of
severance  arrangements  for  the Trust's employees provided as part of the new
business plan.  Professional fees  increased to 210% for the three months ended
October 31, 1995 due to the legal fees  associated with the Trust's adoption of
its new business plan.

GAIN ON SALE OF REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

Net income for the first quarter of fiscal  1996  included a gain of $3,500,000
($.39 per share) on the sale of the land underlying  Crossroads Mall located in
Boulder,  Colorado  and  a  gain  of  $1,000 on the sale of  the  Chimney  Rock
apartments.  In the comparable quarter  last year there were no gains or losses
on the sale of real estate investments.

EXTRAORDINARY LOSS FROM EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT

The Trust redeemed $4,000,000 of its 10% Convertible Subordinated Debentures at
face value during the quarter and wrote off the related issuance costs to incur
an Extraordinary Loss on the Extinguishment  of  Debt  in the amount of $63,000
($.01 per share).

NET INCOME

Net Income for the three months ended October 31, 1995 was $4,268,000 ($.47 per
share)  as compared to $708,000 ($.08 per share) for the  same  period  in  the
prior year.

DIVIDENDS

The dividend  declared  for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 was $.12 per share
versus $.09 per share for  the  same  period in the prior year.  The Trust pays
dividends approximately 55 days following the end of each fiscal quarter.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 2.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In November 1994, a tenant that occupies  approximately  28,000  square feet of
College Hills 3, a 37,700 square foot office building located in Overland Park,
Kansas,  owned  by  Property  Capital  Midwest  Associates, L.P. (an Investment
Partnership), filed an action in the District Court  of Johnson County, Kansas,
in  which  the  tenant  claimed  that the Trust and the Investment  Partnership
violated the terms of the tenant's  space  leases.  The tenant has alleged that
it had an oral agreement with the Investment Partnership's predecessor-in-title
to the building, the Trust and the Investment  Partnership  granting the tenant
the  right  to  lease  additional  space  that  might become available  in  the
building, which allegation the Trust and Investment  Partnership  have  denied.
After  the  filing  of  the  action,  negotiations for the possible sale of the
building  to the tenant ensued, but were  not  finalized.   In  March  1995,  a
settlement  agreement granting the tenant the expansion rights it had requested
in its original  pleading  in  the litigation was entered into with the tenant,
but in a pleading filed by the tenant  the  tenant has also asserted that it is
entitled to damages in excess of $1,000,000.   This  assertion is denied by the
Trust and the Investment Partnership.  Although it is  not  possible to predict
with  certainty  the  outcome  of the litigation, the Trust and the  Investment
Partnership do not believe that they have any material liability to the tenant.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
