on March 31, 1998, as amended by the Trust's Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A
filed with the SEC on April 30, 1998.

2.   REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE DIRECTLY BY THE TRUST

At September 30, 1998, there were no Assets Held for Sale directly by the Trust.

On June 17, 1998, the Trust's Cincinnati Marriott Inn $2,000,000 land investment
was purchased by the Trust's lessee for $2,000,000 and the Trust's related
leasehold mortgages were prepaid at their face amount of $4,316,000. In August
1996, the Trust had allocated $1,016,000 of its former allowance for possible
investment losses to these mortgages. As a consequence, the repayment resulted
in a gain to the Trust of $1,016,000. In addition, the Trust received $1,600,000
of land rent and mortgage interest, earned in 1991 through 1994, which had
previously been written off.

In January 1998, the Trust sold Park Place to an unrelated party for
$14,145,000, resulting in a gain to the Trust of $3,067,000. Previously, in
August 1996, the Trust had allocated $1,239,000 of its former allowance for
possible investment losses to this investment. The property's $8,345,000 first
mortgage was assumed by the buyer.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

BUSINESS PLAN

Since 1995, the Trust has operated under a business plan (the "Business Plan")
which provided for the orderly disposition of all of the Trust's investments on
a property-by-property basis. As of September 30, 1998, the Trust had disposed
of all of its real estate investments and had approximately $3,000,000 in cash
which it intends to utilize to satisfy all of its remaining obligations and then
to distribute the remainder to its shareholders.

In the summer of 1997, management of the Trust and the Trustees began to
consider possible alternatives for terminating the Trust once its assets had
been sold. In June 1998, after discussions with several groups, the Trust
announced that it had entered into an agreement to merge with and into Maryland
Property Capital Trust, Inc. (the "Corporation"). Simultaneously with the
execution of the merger agreement, the Corporation entered into a series of
related agreements (the "Related Transactions") with affiliates of the Beal
Companies, LLP, a Boston based real estate development and investment company.
Due to recent market conditions, however, the parties renegotiated the terms of
the proposed merger and the Related Transactions in October 1998. As a result of
a restructuring of the merged entity's capitalization, the interests of Property
Capital Trust's shareholders will be junior to certain interests of affiliates
of the Beal Companies, LLP in the merged entity. Therefore, at the time of the
merger, while the Trust's shareholders will receive all of the Trust's remaining
net worth (which is currently estimated to be $0.23 per share after giving
affect to expected operating expenses through the date of merger and accrued
expenses) prior to the consummation of the merger, the interests of the Trust's
shareholders in the surviving entity will be without value.

The merger is subject to the approval of the Trust's shareholders and, if
approved, would eliminate the need to establish a liquidating trust to hold
reserves to meet contingent liabilities of the Trust and the expenses related
thereto (which expenses, net of interest income, were estimated to be $0.03 per
share). The Trust expects to circulate a proxy statement to shareholders, in
anticipation of a shareholder vote on the proposed merger in January 1999. If
approved by shareholders, the merger should close in late January or February
1999. Details of the merger and its consequences will be set forth in the proxy
statement. No assurances can be given that the merger will be consummated.

To date, the Trust has distributed $13.65 per share from the proceeds of sales
of its assets. If the merger is consummated, the distributions will total
approximately $13.88 per share. In addition, the existing shareholders will be
entitled to receive the net proceeds from litigation to determine the full
compensation due for certain land that was condemned at Loehmann's Fashion
Island prior to its sale (which amount is not expected to exceed $0.10 per share
and could be zero).

In July 1998, the American Stock Exchange (the "ASE") halted trading the Trust's
Common Shares because the Trust had completed the disposition of its real estate
in accordance with its Business Plan, and as a result, had fallen below the
ASE's guidelines for continued listing. Since the Trust did not have sufficient
tangible assets to satisfy the ASE guidelines, and would not satisfy such
requirements after the merger, the ASE delisted the Trust on October 29, 1998.
The Trust's shares are now traded on the over-the-counter Bulletin Board (symbol
"PCTG").

As a consequence of the implementation of the Business Plan, the disposition of
all of its investments and the payment of special dividends from the proceeds of
sales of the Trust's investments, certain operating results which have
historically been utilized to judge the Trust's financial performance (such as
Funds from Operations and Net Income) have decreased and it is not anticipated
that the Trust will generate any net income in the future.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Trust had no debt at September 30, 1998 as compared to $8,345,000 at
December 31, 1997, which was comprised solely of a mortgage loan on Park Place.
Park Place was sold in January 1998 subject to its mortgage loan. The Trust has
reviewed its liquidity needs in view of its Business Plan. The Trust's principal
liquidity needs are to fund normal operating expenses and the minimum dividend
distributions (if any) required

<PAGE>

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

to maintain the Trust's REIT status under the Internal Revenue Code. The Trust
expects to fund these liquidity needs from interest income and cash on hand.

At September 30, 1998, the Trust's entire portfolio of real estate investments
had been disposed of and its principal asset was $3,085,000 in cash.

On June 17, 1998, the Trust's Cincinnati Marriott Inn $2,000,000 land investment
was purchased by the Trust's lessee for $2,000,000 and the Trust's related
leasehold mortgages were prepaid at their face amount of $4,316,000. In August
1996, the Trust allocated $1,016,000 of its former allowance for possible
investment losses to these mortgages. As a consequence, the repayment resulted
in a gain to the Trust of $1,016,000. In addition, the Trust received $1,600,000
of land rent and mortgage interest, earned between 1991 and 1994, which had
previously been written off.

On January 29, 1998, the Trust sold the Park Place office building in Clayton,
Missouri, for $14,145,000. The Trust realized a gain of $3,067,000 on the sale
of this investment.

During the first quarter of 1998, the Trust terminated the Amended and Restated
Deferred Stock Plan for Non-Employee Trustees. All of the assets of such plan,
which were held in a Rabbi Trust, were distributed to the Trustees. Previously,
in the Trust's financial statements, Common Shares held by the Rabbi Trust were
reflected as "treasury stock," the remaining assets were reflected in "other
assets" and the fund balance was reflected in "accounts payable and accrued
expenses."

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
VERSUS THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997

REVENUES

Rents from Owned Properties held directly by the Trust (base rent plus expense
reimbursements) decreased 98% and 95%, respectively, for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1998, as compared to the same periods in the prior
year, due to the sale, in January 1998, of the Park Place office building, the
Trust's last Owned Property held directly by the Trust, and from the adjustment
at June 30, 1998 of approximately $200,000 of previously recorded revenues from
Loehmann's Fashion Island, which had been sold in December 1997. During the
three months ended September 30, 1998, the Trust received $48,000 from the new
owners of Loehmann's Fashion Island related to the time of the Trust's
ownership. This amount had not previously been accrued.

Base income from Structured Transactions held directly by the Trust increased 2%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, as compared to the same period in
the prior year, due to the receipt, in June 1998, of $1,600,000 of land rent and
mortgage interest (earned between 1991 and 1994 but previously written off) from
the Cincinnati Marriott Inn. The receipt and recognition of this income occurred
in conjunction with the disposition of the Trust's investments in the Cincinnati
Marriott Inn.

Overage income from Structured Transactions held directly by the Trust decreased
89% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, as compared to the same period
in the prior year, due to the sale of all but one of the Trust's remaining
Structured Transactions held directly by the Trust prior to calendar 1998 and
the disposition of the Cincinnati Marriott Inn investments in June 1998.

Interest income decreased 53% and 45%, respectively, for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1998, as compared to the same periods in the prior
year. Interest income is earned on net proceeds received by the Trust from the
sale of its investments, which proceeds are invested until they are distributed
to shareholders in the form of special dividends.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

EXPENSES

Total expenses decreased 93% and 87%, respectively, for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1998, as compared to the same periods in the prior
year, due to the sale of all but one of the Trust's remaining real estate
investments in the first quarter of 1998 and the disposition of the last real
estate investment in June 1998. Included in total expense decreases were
decreases in professional fees of 83% and 96%, respectively, for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1998, as compared to the same periods in the
prior year, due to the downward revision at June 30, 1998 of approximately
$140,000 accrued for estimated liabilities for legal and similar fees payable
that were, in fact, not incurred. General and administrative expenses also
decreased by 75% and 46%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1998, as compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily
due to the reduction of the Trust's management and support staff.

GAIN ON SALE OF REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 included a gain on sale
of real estate investments of $4,083,000, comprised of $1,016,000 from the
prepayment of Cincinnati Marriott Inn's leasehold mortgages at their face amount
in June 1998 and $3,067,000 from the sale of the Park Place office building in
January 1998. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, net income included
a gain on sale of real estate investments of $26,128,000, comprised of
$4,750,000 from the sale of Elm Creek and Sandpiper Cove apartment investments
in September 1997, $1,944,000 from the sale of the Lakeside Center investment in
June 1997, $857,000 from the sale of the Telegraph Hill apartments in June 1997
and $18,577,000 from the sale of the City Centre Holiday Inn investment in
January 1997.

DIVIDENDS

During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Trust declared and paid
dividends of $1.15 per share.

On June 16, 1998, the Trustees declared a special dividend of $0.80 per share,
payable July 10, 1998 to shareholders of record on July 1, 1998. Due to the
magnitude of the dividend declared in relation to the Trust's stock price at
that time, and the halting of trading after July 10, 1998, the Trust's shares
did not trade ex-dividend on the ASE.

On February 3, 1998, the Trustees declared a special dividend of $0.35 per
share, payable February 27, 1998 to shareholders of record on February 13, 1998.
Due to the magnitude of the dividend declared in relation to the Trust's stock
price at that time, the ASE determined that the Trust's shares would trade
ex-dividend on March 2, 1998.

NEWS RELEASE
PROPERTY CAPITAL TRUST

                                                  Robert M. Melzer, President

PROPERTY CAPITAL TRUST ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER RESULTS AND REPORTS ON STATUS OF 
MERGER AND AMERICAN STOCK EXCHANGE LISTING

BOSTON, OCTOBER 26, 1998--Property Capital Trust today reported a net loss of
$99,000 ($.01 per share) for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. This loss was
anticipated as the Trust, having disposed of all of its real estate investments,
no longer has sufficient revenues to meet its expenses.

The Trust announced in June 1998 that it intended to merge, subject to
Shareholder approval, with an affiliate of the Beal Companies, LLP. The merger
was approved by the Trustees in order to enable the Trust to distribute its
remaining assets to its Shareholders without having to set aside reserves for
two or three years to meet expenses and contingent liabilities. However, the
recent decline in the stock market, and in REIT prices in particular, caused
representatives of the Beal Companies, LLP to reassess their decision to merge.
We are pleased to report that their conclusion is to proceed with the merger,
although on a modified basis (see below).

As a result of the time spent in the reassessment and a renegotiation of certain
terms of the merger agreement, it is now anticipated that the merger will not be
consummated until January or February 1999. Nonetheless, management still
anticipates that the distribution to Shareholders to be declared immediately
prior to the consummation of the merger will be $.23 per share. The
restructuring of the merged entity's capitalization, however, will result in the
interests of Property Capital Trust's Shareholders being junior to certain
interest of affiliates of the Beal Companies, LLP. Therefore, at the time of the
merger, the interests of the Trust's Shareholders in the merged entity will be
without value. Please note that no assurances can be given that the merger will
actually occur or that the interests of Property Capital Trust's Shareholders in
the merged entity will have any value in the future.

Since the Trust does not have sufficient tangible assets to satisfy American
Stock Exchange guidelines, and will not satisfy such requirements after the
merger, the American Stock Exchange, with the Trust's concurrence, has concluded
that the Trust should be delisted. We expect that this will occur on October 29.
Management is currently attempting to find a market maker for the Trust's shares
in the over-the-counter market. You should contact your broker on or after
October 29 if you wish to buy or sell shares of the Trust.

With regard to the condemnation award for a portion of the Trust's former
investment, Loehmann's Fashion Island, the trial has now been rescheduled for
January 1999 and the award, if any, will probably not be paid out to
Shareholders before June 1999. The Trust continues to believe that the award
will not be more than $.10 per share and might, in fact, be nothing. Pursuant to
the terms of the merger, any such award paid after the merger is consummated
will be distributed to the Trust's Shareholders as of the date of the merger.

Finally, please note that in order to reduce expenses the Trust has relocated
its offices to the address noted below.

Management's estimates of future dividends and the likelihood and timing of the
merger constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to all of the
qualifications to Management's prior estimates which are set forth in the
Trust's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997. Given the many
uncertainties involved in predicting future results, these estimates should in
no sense be considered a guaranty that they will prove to be accurate.
