PART III
The Trust respectfully represents that due to asset valuation issues associated
with its annual audit, the Trust is unable to timely file its Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2000 without unreasonable
effort or expense prior to the May 1, 2000 due date.
As required by Exchange Act Rule 12b-25(c), also attached as an exhibit to this
notification is a statement signed on behalf of the Trust's principal
independent auditors confirming the reasons for the above described delay.
The Trust represents that its Annual Report on Form 10-K will be filed no later
than the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date of May 1,
2000.
PART IV (3)
The Trust's financial results for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2000 are
anticipated to decline as compared to those reported on its Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 1999. The Trust currently
estimates that Net Loss Applicable To Common Shares will increase from
$(193,071) to $(874,000) for the fiscal years ended January 31, 1999 and 2000,
respectively, and Loss Per Share will increase from $(.10) to $(.37) for the
same respective periods. The decline in the financial performance of the Trust
is due to charges to earnings resulting from a write-off for uncollectible rent
receivable and charging to expense previously capitalized public offering costs
in the amount of approximately $685,000 and $225,000, respectively, net of
minority interest.
