ITEM 8. CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR
On November 19, 1996, the Board of Trustees of Property Capital Trust (the
"Registrant") authorized a change in the Registrant's fiscal year, contingent
upon consummation by the Registrant of the sale of a property known as Chicago
City Centre Holiday Inn ("Chicago City Centre Holiday Inn"), from a period
beginning on August 1 and ending July 31 to a period beginning on January 1 and
ending on December 31. On January 15, 1997, the Registrant sold the Chicago City
Centre Holiday Inn, and, accordingly, its fiscal year has been changed. The
Registrant anticipates that the report covering the transition period for the
Registrant will be the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended
December 31, 1996.
