Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

         Not applicable.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

         Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended in its entirety to read as
         follows:

         "Pursuant to a take-over bid announced on June 13, 2000, Gazit
         Acquisition Corp. ("Gazit Acquisition"), a corporation incorporated
         under the laws of Ontario, Canada and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
         Gazit 1997, took up and paid for 10,800,000 of the common shares of
         Centrefund on August 18, 2000, at a price of Cdn.$13.25 per common
         share of Centrefund. As at August 18, 2000, Gazit 1997 already owned
         2,166,500 common shares of Centrefund. As a result of the completion of
         Gazit Acquisition's bid, Gazit Acquisition, Gazit 1997 and Gazit-Globe
         became beneficial owners of approximately 84% of the common shares of
         Centrefund, and Gazit 1997, Gazit-Globe and Chaim Katzman each became
         indirect beneficial owners of the Shares of Revenue Properties owned by
         Centrefund.

         Centrefund acquired the Shares of Revenue Properties to make an
         investment in a business similar to its own at a price that Centrefund
         considered to be advantageous. The Reporting Persons intend to review,
         on a continuous basis, various factors related to their direct or
         indirect investment, as the case may be, in Revenue Properties,
