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 April 30, 1996 and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the  periods  ended  April 30,
1996 and 1995.

Operating  results for the nine months ended April 30, 1996 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. REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

ASSET HELD FOR SALE DIRECTLY BY THE TRUST

Owned Properties held directly by the Trust which have been approved  for  sale
and are being marketed for sale are classified as Assets Held for Sale directly
by the Trust.

In  January  1996  the  Trust  sold its one Asset Held for Sale directly by the
Trust,  Citibank  Office  Plaza  -  Oak  Brook.   The  property  was  sold  for
$11,380,000, resulting in a gain to the Trust of $470,000.

STRUCTURED TRANSACTIONS HELD DIRECTLY BY THE TRUST

Investments  in  land  leasebacks  and/or  mortgage  loans  are  classified  as
Structured Transactions.

As part of the March 1994 restructuring  of the Trust's Cincinnati Marriott Inn
investments the Trust committed to lend up  to  $600,000 to its lessee, secured
by a third leasehold mortgage, to make certain approved capital improvements to
the hotel.  In February 1996 the Trust funded the  $600,000  loan,  which bears
interest at 8.0% per annum with amortization commencing May 1, 1999 and matures
on March 1, 2014.

During  the  quarter  ended  January  31,  1996  the  Trust sold two Structured
Transactions held directly by the Trust.  In December 1995  the  Trust sold its
investment  in  Yorkshire apartments to an unrelated third party for  $460,000,
resulting in a gain  to  the  Trust  of $310,000.  In November 1995 the Trust's
Grosvenor Airport Inn land investment  was  purchased by the Trust's lessee for
$2,000,000 and the Trust's $2,000,000 mortgage  loan  was prepaid for $500,000,
with  the  resulting  loss  of  $1,500,000  being charged against  the  Trust's
allowance for possible investment losses.

INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS

Certain of the Trust's investments have been  made  through  partnerships, or a
participation agreement, in which the Trust or its subsidiary  is  the  general
partner  or  lead lender and other institutional investors are limited partners
or participants (the "Investment Partnerships").

During the quarter  ended  April 30, 1996, Property Capital Midwest Associates,
L.P. ("Midwest"), an Investment  Partnership  which  owned  four investments in
Overland   Park,   Kansas,  sold  its  three  office  properties.   The   three
investments, all classified  as  assets  held  for  sale, were College Hills 3,
College  Hills 8 and Financial Plaza.  The Trust, which  has  a  53.3%  general
partner's  interest in this Investment Partnership, previously wrote down these
properties by  $2,575,000  to  their  estimated  net realizable value.  The net
sales prices of these properties resulted in a gain  to  the  Trust aggregating
$443,000.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)

During  the  quarter  ended January 31, 1996, PCA Southwest Associates  Limited
Partnership  ("Southwest"),   an   Investment   Partnership  which  owns  1,875
apartments in Houston, Texas, disposed of its Telegraph  Hill - B investment by
allowing  the  first  mortgage lender to foreclose on the property  and,  as  a
result, the Trust wrote down its net investment in this property to zero.  This
$307,000 write-down was  charged  against  the  Trust's  allowance for possible
investment  losses.   The  Trust's   affiliate  has a 45.45% general  partner's
interest in this Investment Partnership.  In addition,  during  the quarter two
Investment  Partnerships reclassified certain of their real estate  investments
to assets held  for sale.  Midwest reclassified its investment in College Hills
3  to  an  asset  held  for  sale.   In  addition,  Midwest's  Financial  Plaza
investment, which was  previously  reclassified  to an asset held for sale, was
further written down by the Trust by $1,255,000.   This  write-down was charged
against  the  Trust's previously established allowance for possible  investment
losses.  Southwest reclassified its investments in St. Charles and Boardwalk to
assets held for  sale resulting in a write-down by the Trust of $710,000.  This
write-down was charged against the Trust's previously established allowance for
possible investment losses.

During the first quarter  of  fiscal  1996,  three  of  the  Trust's Investment
Partnerships  disposed  of two Structured Transactions and one Owned  Property.
In October 1995, PCA Crossroads  Associates,  Ltd.  sold  the  land  underlying
Crossroads  Mall  to its lessee, resulting in a gain to the Trust of $3,500,000
on its investment of  $2,000,0000.   In  September 1995, Southwest, which owned
Chimney Rock apartments (714 units), sold  the complex which resulted in a gain
to the Trust of $1,000.  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  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 partnership by $1,538,000.  This write-
down was charged against the Trust's allowance for  possible investment losses.
The Trust has a 23.8% general partner's interest in Canyon View.

4.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Trust  of  $1,320,000.  On June 5, 1996, the first mortgage investment  in  the
Lisle  Hilton  Inn  in  Lisle,  Illinois,  which  was  held  in  an  Investment
Partnership,  was  prepaid  at  par  by the borrower.  The Trust's share of the

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

BUSINESS PLAN

On June 14, 1995, the Trustees adopted a business plan which provides  for  the
orderly  disposition  of  the  Trust's  investments (the "Business Plan").  The
Trustees anticipate that the 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
Business Plan and approved certain amendments  to  the  Trust's  Declaration of
Trust necessary for its implementation.

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  anticipated in June 1995
that the plan would be fully implemented within three to  five  years)  or  the
prices  at  which  the  properties  can be sold.  To date the  Business Plan is
proceeding as anticipated.  Immediately  prior  to  the  implementation  of the
Business Plan, the Trust owned 27 investments.  During the first nine months of
fiscal  1996,  nine  properties  have been sold or disposed of and the proceeds
have been used to retire $31,671,000  principal amount of the Trust's 10% and 9
3/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures  ($5,621,000  of  which  were  retired
after  the  end  of  the third quarter) and to declare a $1.75 special dividend
payable on June 24, 1996.   In  addition,  subsequent  to  the end of the third
quarter,  one  property  was  sold  and  a  mortgage  investment  was  prepaid,
resulting  in  gross proceeds to the Trust of $11,092,000.  The Trust  utilized
$3,000,000 from  these  two  dispositions  to  prepay  a  portion  of the first
mortgage  loan  on  the Trust's Loehmann's Fashion Island property in Aventura,
Florida.  As the Trust  continues  to  dispose  of  investments  it  intends to
continue to make special distributions to shareholders and may prepay  portions
of its debt.

As  a  result  of  the implementation of the Business Plan, the disposition  of
investments and the  payment  of  special  dividends, certain operating results
which  have  historically  been  utilized  to  judge   the   Trust's  financial
performance  (such  as  Funds From Operations and Net Income) are  expected  to
decrease.  Accordingly, shareholders are urged to read the following discussion
of results of operations with this fact in mind.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Trust's debt at April  30,  1996 was $45,639,000 as compared to $71,816,000
at July 31, 1995.  The Trust's debt  to equity ratio decreased to .47x at April
30, 1996 from .77x at July 31, 1995.   The  decrease  in  the  Trust's debt was
primarily  due to the redemption of $26,000,000 aggregate principal  amount  of
the Trust's  10% Convertible Subordinated Debentures at their face amount.  The
improvement in  the  debt to equity ratio is primarily 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 the Crossroads Mall investment.

The Trust has a $10,000,000 revolving bank  line  which  the  Trust believes is
adequate  to meet its working capital requirements for the foreseeable  future.
At April 30, 1996, no amounts were outstanding on the bank line.

Subsequent  to  the  end  of the quarter, on May 13, 1996 the Trust retired the
remaining $3,125,000 of its  10% Convertible Subordinated Debentures and on May
24,  1996  retired  the  remaining   $2,496,000   of  its  9  3/4%  Convertible
Subordinated  Debentures  from  the  proceeds  from the  sale  of  real  estate
investments.  The Trust also made a $3,000,000 prepayment  on  the  $21,732,000
first  mortgage loan secured by Loehmann's Fashion Island from the proceeds  of
two dispositions made subsequent to the end of the quarter.

Management  believes  that  with cash provided by operating activities retained
after dividends, proceeds from  dispositions  of  properties  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.  The Trust currently expects that  these
cash  requirements  will  total  approximately $300,000 during the remainder of
fiscal 1996.  Further, the Trust believes  that  these  same  sources  will  be
sufficient  to fund its capital expenditure 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.

           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

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 non-recurring 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:

investments and pay special dividends.

REVIEW OF SIGNIFICANT REAL ESTATE ACTIVITY

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 Trust has a 23.8% general partner interest in this  Investment
Partnership.    The  Investment  Partnership's  investments  in  Phase  I  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 were 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  court proceedings for the
appointment of a receiver for Phase I and foreclosure.   Shortly thereafter the
Investment  Partnership initiated court proceedings for the  appointment  of  a
receiver for Phase II and foreclosure on Phases I and 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 with the Investment Partnership receiving $300,000 from
the first mortgagee  for  permitting  it  to  foreclose  on   Phase  I  and the
Investment Partnership taking title

           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

to Phase II and receiving the proceeds from two letters of  credit  aggregating
$1,750,000.   As  a  result  the  Trust  incurred  a  $1,538,000  loss on these
transactions  resulting  from a $533,000 write-off of the Canyon View  Phase  I
investment and a $1,005,000  write-down of the Canyon View Phase II investment.
These losses had been previously  provided  for  in  the  Trust's allowance for
possible  investment  losses.   The  Investment  Partnership has  undertaken  a
$1,300,000   capital  expenditure  program  required  to   correct   structural
deficiencies,  construction  deviations  and  damaged  siding at Phase II.  The
program is expected to be completed in the Fall of 1996.

As  previously  reported,  PCA  Southwest  Associates Limited  Partnership,  an
Investment  Partnership  in  which  the Trust owns  a  45.45%  general  partner
interest, 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
on terms satisfactory to it, and therefore did not oppose  the  foreclosure  by
the  first mortgagee in December 1995.  At April 30, 1996, two investments held
in this  Investment  Partnership  were  classified as assets held for sale.  In
January 1996, when these assets were so reclassified, they were written down to
their net realizable values.  The Trust's share of the write-down was $710,000,
which  was  charged against the Trust's previously  established  allowance  for
possible investment losses.

Also, during the first quarter of fiscal 1996, this Investment Partnership sold
the Chimney Rock  apartments,  a 714 unit complex, to an unrelated third party.
In July 1995 the Trust reclassified this property to an asset 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,  a  portion of the funds from this sale were
used  by the Investment Partnership in December  to  pay  off,  at  a  $154,000
discount, the first mortgage on St. Charles -Phase A.

In December  1995  the  Trust sold the land underlying the Yorkshire apartments
for $460,000 resulting in  a  gain of $310,000 on its $135,000 investment.  For
the year ended July 31, 1995 the Trust earned $42,000 on this investment.

Subsequent to the end of the third  quarter  the Trust's lessee repurchased the
land  underlying  the  Bluffs  II  apartments  for  $2,150,000.    The  Trust's
investment in this Structured Transaction was $825,000 resulting in  a  gain of
$1,320,000 after closing expenses.  For the year ended July 31, 1995 the  Trust
earned $215,000 on this investment.

OFFICE BUILDINGS

During  the  third  quarter  the  Trust sold three office properties, Financial
Plaza, a cluster of four buildings, College Hills 3 and College Hills 8, all of
which  were held by Property Capital  Midwest  Associates,  L.P.,  one  of  the
Trust's  Investment  Partnerships  in  which  the  Trust  holds a 53.3% general
partner  interest.   The  Trust  realized  a  gain from the sale  of  $443,000,
primarily from the sale of College Hills 8.  The  properties  had  been written
down  previously  by  $2,575,000  (the  Trust's  share) to their net realizable
values.

As  previously reported, during the second quarter  of  fiscal  1996,  Citibank
Office  Plaza  - Oak Brook was sold at a gain of $470,000 ($.05 per share).  At
July 31, 1995 this  investment was reclassified to Asset Held for Sale directly
by the Trust and was written down by $971,000 to its expected sales proceeds.

SHOPPING CENTERS

During the first quarter  of fiscal 1996 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.   For the year ended July 31, 1995 the
Trust earned $365,000 on this 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 88% at April 30, 1996.  As previously  reported, the Trust retained
a  new  property  management  and  leasing  firm  in May 1995.   Management  is
reevaluating its strategy for this property based upon  leasing performance and
current projections.

Plaza West Retail Center, in Overland Park, Kansas, a mixed  use  retail office
complex  held  by  an Investment Partnership, which was reclassified to  assets
held for sale at July 31, 1995, is currently being marketed for sale.

HOTELS

During  the  third quarter the Trust funded a $600,000 third leasehold mortgage
loan to its lessee  of  the  Cincinnati  Marriott  Inn  to make certain capital
improvements.   The  loan  bears interest at 8.0% per annum  with  amortization
commencing May 1, 1999 and maturing March 1, 2014.

Subsequent to the end of the third quarter the first mortgage investment in the
Lisle Hilton Inn, which was  held  in an Investment Partnership, was prepaid at
par.  The Trust's share of the proceeds was $8,942,000.

As previously reported, in the second  quarter of fiscal 1996 the Trust sold to
its lessee/mortgagor 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.   The  loss on the sale had been fully  provided  for  in  the
Trust's allowance for possible  investment losses.  For the year ended July 31,
1995 the Trust earned $200,000 on this investment.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1996 VERSUS
THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1995

REVENUES

Rents from Owned Properties held  directly by the Trust (base rent plus expense
reimbursements) decreased 14% and 22% for the three and nine months ended April
30, 1996, as compared to the same periods  in  the prior year, primarily due to
the Trust's sale of the Citibank Office Plaza -  Oak  Brook  office building in
January 1996 and the 6110 Executive Boulevard office building  in January 1995,
and the receipt by the Trust in the first quarter 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.

There  was  no  significant  change in base income from Structured Transactions
held directly by the Trust (land  rent and mortgage interest) for the three and
nine months ended April 30, 1996, respectively, as compared to the same periods
in the prior year.

Overage  income  from  Structured  Transactions  held  directly  by  the  Trust
increased 24% and 19% for the three  and  nine  months  ended  April  30, 1996,
respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily  due
to  increased  overage  income  from the Sandpiper Cove apartments and the City
Centre Holiday Inn investments.

The  Trust's  share  of  income  from  unconsolidated  Investment  Partnerships
increased 45% and 127% for the three  and  nine  months  ended  April 30, 1996,
respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year,  primarily due
to the increased net income recorded by the Trust from Property Capital Midwest
Associates,  L.P.   When  the  properties  in this Investment Partnership  were
reclassified to assets held for sale they were  written  down to their expected
sales proceeds; therefore, depreciation 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  not
been  previously accrued by the Trust.  These increases were offset by the loss
of revenues  due  to  the  sale of Financial Plaza, College Hills 3 and College
Hills 8 during the third quarter of fiscal 1996 and the sale of Crossroads Mall
investment and the Chimney Rock  apartments in the first quarter of fiscal 1996
and the Braes Hill apartments in the third quarter of fiscal 1995.

Advisory fee income decreased 14%  and  increased  19%  for  the three and nine
months ended April 30, 1996, respectively, as compared to the  same  periods in
the  prior  years  primarily due to timing of distributions paid by the Trust's
Investment Partnerships  and  the sale of Crossroads Mall, which was held by an
Investment Partnership.  Interest  income was earned by the Trust in the amount
of $89,000, $101,000 and $100,000 for  the  first,  second  and third quarters,
respectively,  primarily from short-term investing of sales proceeds  prior  to
the redemption of debentures.

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

EXPENSES

Expenses  on  Owned Properties held directly by the Trust decreased 18% for the
three and nine  months  ended  April 30, 1996, respectively, as compared to the
same periods in the prior year primarily  due  to  the  sale of Citibank Office
Plaza - Oak Brook in January 1996 and the sale of 6110 Executive  Boulevard  in
January 1995.

Interest  expense  decreased  33%  and  26% for the three and nine months ended
April 30, 1996 as compared to the same periods  in the prior year primarily due
to  the  redemption  of  most  of  the  Trust's  10%  Convertible  Subordinated
Debentures and the sale of 6110 Executive Boulevard, which  was encumbered by a
first mortgage, offset by an increase in interest expense related to Loehmann's
Fashion Island.

Depreciation expense decreased 18% and 7% for the three and nine  months  ended
April 30, 1996 as compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due
to the elimination of depreciation on Citibank Office Plaza -Oak Brook upon its
reclassification  as  an Asset Held for Sale directly by the Trust in July 1995
and the sale of 6110 Executive Boulevard in January 1995, offset in part by the
write-off of certain tenant  improvements at Citibank Office Plaza - Schaumburg
related to a tenant's bankruptcy in the second quarter of fiscal 1996.

General and administrative expenses  increased  78%  and  66% for the three and
nine months ended April 30, 1996, as compared to the same periods  in the prior
year,  primarily  due to the accrual of severance arrangements for the  Trust's
employees provided  for  as  part  of  the  Business  Plan.   Professional fees
increased 35% for the nine months ended April 30, 1996, due to  the  legal fees
associated with the Trust's adoption of its Business Plan.

GAIN ON SALE OF REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

Net  income  for  the  third quarter of fiscal 1996 included a gain of $443,000
($.05 per share) primarily  from  the  sale of College Hills 8.  Net income for
the second quarter of fiscal 1996 included  a gain of $470,000 ($.05 per share)
on the sale of the Citibank Office Plaza - Oak  Brook  and a $310,000 ($.04 per
share) gain on the sale of the land underlying the Yorkshire  apartments.   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 prior  year  net income included a gain of $3,099,000 ($.34
per share) on the sale of 6110 Executive Boulevard and a gain of $110,000 ($.01
per share) on the sale of Braes Hill apartments.

EXTRAORDINARY LOSS FROM EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT

During the first, second and third  quarters  of  fiscal 1996 the Trust retired
$4,000,000, $11,000,000 and $11,000,000, respectively,  of  its 10% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures at face value.  In the third quarter of fiscal 1996 the
Trust retired $50,000 of its 9 3/4% Convertible Subordinated  Debentures  at  a
discount.   Due  to  the  early  retirement  of  these Convertible Subordinated
Debentures the Trust incurred an extraordinary loss  on  the  extinguishment of
debt  from  the write-off of related issuance costs in the amounts  of  $63,000
($.01 per share)  in the first quarter, $169,000 ($.02 per share) in the second
quarter and $165,000 ($.02 per share) in the third quarter.

DIVIDENDS

On May 22,1996, the  Trust  declared  a  special  dividend  of  $1.75 per share
($16,146,000)  from  the  proceeds  of sales of properties.  Additionally,  the
Trust declared a regular quarterly dividend  for  the  third  quarter of fiscal
1996 of $.12 per share versus $.10 per share for the same period  in  the prior
year.  The tax classification of these dividends will not be determinable until
the  end  of the calendar year.  The Trust pays its regular quarterly 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 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 denied.  The tenant  also
asserted  that  it  was  entitled  to  damages  in  excess of $1,000,000, which
assertion was denied by the Trust and the Investment  Partnership.  The tenant,
the Trust and the Investment Partnership subsequently agreed  to  a  settlement
pursuant to which the litigation was dismissed with prejudice, the building was
sold  to  the tenant and the Partnership reimbursed the tenant for $100,000  of
the tenant's litigation expenses.
