(a)       Interest rates presented are the weighted averages of the sum of
          cuurrent plus accrued interest rates.

(b)       In addition to fixed interest, the Trust is entitled to contingent
          interest on certain loans in an amount equal to a percentage of the
          gross rent received by the borrower from the property securing the
          mortgage above a base amount, payable annually, and additional
          contingent interest (equity participation) based on a predetermined
          multiple of the contingent interest or a percentage of the net value
          of the property at such date payable at maturity.  Contingent
          interest in the amount of $440,688 and $364,711 was received in the

(c)       The loan is secured by a first lien on a separate collateral
          assignment of a first mortgage loan which, in turn, is secured by a
          fee position subject to a master lease on an office building in New
          York, New York.

(d)       Before taking into account allowance for possible loan losses of
          $9,157,236.

(e)       As of September 30, 1994, the Trust had 4 loans that were in arrears
          (three monthly payments or more) or otherwise considered to be
          "problem loans" by the Trust.  The aggregate gross principal amounts
          of these loans, together with receivables relating to such loans
          comprised of accrued interest and payments made on behalf of the
          borrowers for mortgage payments relating to such properties, totaled
          approximately $11,102,912, representing 6% of the Trust's invested
          assets, at September 30, 1994.  At September 30, 1994 and 1993, the
          Trust was not accruing current and accrued interest on four and ten
          of the above-mentioned loans, in the aggregate approximate principal
          amount of $10,250,000 and $60,630,000, respectively. In addition, as
          of September 30, 1994 and 1993 respectively, the Trust was not
          accruing deferred interest on one and one additional loan, in the
          aggregate approximate principal amount of $25,000,000 and $3,000,000,
          respectively.

(f)       On January 3, 1994, the Trust sold the following mortgage loans:  (i)
          its wrap-around mortgage loan secured by the Tampa Plaza shopping
          center located in Northridge, California (the "Tampa Loan"); (ii) its
          wrap-around mortgage loan secured by the Wellesley Plaza office
          building located in Los Angeles, California (the "Wellesley Loan");
          and (iii) its first mortgage loan secured by the Tackett Center
          mixed-use retail center located in Palm Springs, California (the
          "Tackett Loan").  On January 7, 1994, the Trust sold its first
          mortgage loan secured by the Janss Mall shopping center located in
          Thousand Oaks, California (the "Janss Mall Loan", and collectively,
          the "California Mortgage Loans").  The California Mortgage Loans at
          closing had an approximate aggregate outstanding balance of
          $39,698,000 before taking into consideration allowance for possible
          losses of approximately $14,567,000.  The Tampa, Tackett and Janss
          Mall Loans were sold pursuant to a competitive offering process,
          pursuant to which bids for each of the Loans were solicited; the
          Wellesley Loan was offered in the competitive offering process, but
          was sold in an arms-length negotiation outside of the competitive
          offering process.  Secured Capital Corp. of Los Angeles, California
          acted as the Trust's representative with respect to the offering and
          sale of the California Mortgage Loans.  In the aggregate, the Trust
          received cash proceeds of $25,500,000 from the sale of the California
          Mortgage Loans, before deduction of costs, fees and expenses relating
          to such transactions, including the payment of a fee to Secured
          Capital Corp.

(g)       On January 25, 1994, the Trust restructured its mortgage loan in the
          original principal amount of $31,000,000 which was secured by a
          collateral assignment of mortgages on two properties, an office
          building located on Rector Street, New York City (the "Rector
          Property") and a shopping center located on Hylan Boulevard, Staten
          Island, New York (the "Hylan Center").  Pursuant to the
          restructuring, the Trust received a direct assignment of the first
          mortgage with a principal amount of $25,000,000 and accrued interest
          of $7,881,250 secured by the Hylan Center and retained the collateral
          assignment of the Rector Property mortgage, the principal amount of
          which was reduced to $3,000,000.  The holder of the first mortgage
          secured by the Rector Property has granted the Trust a pledge of a
          senior participation interest in such mortgage.  In addition, upon a
          foreclosure, the Trust will obtain a direct first mortgage secured by
          the Rector Property.  The restructuring was completed in October
          1994.

          The property was subject to a first mortgage in the approximate

          acquisition.

(j)       On July 12, 1994 Chester Plaza Shops, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary

          located in Chester, New Jersey.  The purchase price for the property
          was approximately $18,262,000.

(k)       On August 15, 1994 the Trust received proceeds of $18,354,047 from
          the prepayment of the Meadowlands Industrial Park mortgage loan.  The
          proceeds consisted of the repayment of the principal loan balance of
          $15,350,000, payment of current interest of $104,047 and prepayment
          premium income (in lieu of equity participation) of $2,900,000.

(l)       On September 29, 1994 the Trust received proceeds of $11,805,825 from
          the prepayment of the Plainview Shopping Center mortgage loan.  The

          of $55,825 and additional contingent interest (equity participation)

(m)       On September 28, 1994 the Trust sold the capital stock of The
          Saratoga Building, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trust for
          $12,500.  The Trust had previously provided an allowance for
          impairment of $1,580,000 against this asset.  The sale resulted in an
          additional loss of approximately $227,708.


4.        DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS

          Under the Internal Revenue Code, a REIT must meet certain
          qualifications including a requirement that it distribute annually to
          its shareholders at least 95% of its taxable income.  The Trust's
          policy is to distribute to shareholders all taxable income.
          Dividends declared for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 are
          summarized below:

          During 1994, the Trust will have tax write-offs on certain of the
          mortgages held by it, which write-offs were previously recognized for
          financial reporting purposes in prior years.

5.        SHARE REPURCHASES

          Pursuant to its share repurchase program, during January of 1994, the

6.        BUSINESS COMBINATION

          On July 14, 1994 the Trust and Ramco-Gershenson, Inc. entered into a
          letter of intent pursuant to which the parties agreed in principle to
          effectuate a business combination through an operating limited
          partnership.  On October 15, 1994, the letter of intent was extended
          and now terminates on December 13, 1994, unless a definite agreement
          is entered into by the parties on or prior to such date.

          As comtemplated by the letter of intent, Ramco will contribute 22
          shopping center properties, containing approximately 3,900,000
          leasable square feet, and stock in its property mangagement
          corporation, while the Trust will contribute seven retail properties,
          containing approximately 970,000 leasable square feet, and
          $75,000,000 in cash, to the operating partnership.  This will result
          in the operating partnership owning and managing shopping centers and
          other retail properties containing almost 5,000,000 leasable square
          feet.

          The Trust will be the sole general partner of the operating
          partnership and will hold between 63% and 70% of the interests in the
          operating partnership, and Ramco will hold between 30% and 37%.  The
          percentage interests to be received by the parties will be based upon
          formula calculations of the "agreed upon" values of the assets
          contributed by the parties, and are subject to adjustment based on
          changes in funds from operations attributable to the Ramco
          properties.  It is also contemplated that prior to consummation of
          the transaction, the Trust will dispose of its mortgage loan assets
          through prepayments, sales or a spinoff of such assets to the Trust's
          shareholders.

          The proposed business combination, which is currently anticipated to
          close in the first quarter of 1995, is subject to the completion of
          due diligence investigations by both parties and the preparation of
          definitive documentation, and is subject to a number of conditions,
          including the Trust's Board of Trustees and shareholder approval,
          receipt of a fairness opinion from the Trust's financial advisor,
          disposition of the Trust's mortgage loan assets or consummation of
          the spin-off transaction, and the refinancing of certain Ramco
          property debt on specified terms.  The transaction is also subject to
          the condition that, Ramco's interest in the operating partnership
          will not be less than 30%; however, based upon current market
          conditions (including the increase in interest rates since the date
          the letter of intent was originally executed), Ramco's percentage
          interest in the operating partnership (calculated in accordance with
          the formula described in the letter of intent) may be less than 30%.
          Notwithstanding such calculations, Ramco has continued to negotiate
          with respect to a definitive agreement; however, there can be no
          assurance that the contemplated transaction will occur, or if it does
          occur, on which terms it will occur.

          Upon consummation of the transaction, the Trust's headquarters will
          move to Southfield, Michigan and the Trust will change its name to
          Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust.

proceeds of $25,500,000 from the sale, before deduction of costs, fees and
expenses relating to such transaction.  During the second quarter of 1994, the
Trust, through a wholly owned subsidiary acquired the Norgate Shopping Center
property.  Immediately prior to the acquisition the Trust pre-paid the first
mortgage loan relating to the Norgate property in the approximate amount of
$1,463,830.  During the third quarter of 1994, the Trust through a wholly owned
subsidiary acquired the Chester Springs Shopping Center property for a purchase
price of approximately $18,262,000.  Additionally, during the third quarter of
1994 the Trust received aggregate proceeds of $30,159,872 from the prepayment
of two mortgage loans.  The Trust also sold the capital stock of the Saratoga

contingent interest and prepayment premium income as compared to none in the
1993 period.  Short-term interest income increased $862,870 or 105.9% as a
result of higher balances in short-term investments.  Interest income from
mortgage loans decreased $2,209,247 or 21.3% as a result of the reduction in
the Trust's mortgage loan portfolio.  Gain on sale of securities and other
income decreased 100% or $2,080,035 and $347,543 respectively as a result of
the Trust selling its marketable securities in 1993.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1994 expenses (excluding interest on
mortgages, property operating, real estate taxes and depreciation) decreased
$16,503,070 or 83.7% compared to the same period a year ago, primarily because
during the 1993 period a provision for possible loan losses was made in the
amount of $15,000,000 as compared to none during the 1994 period.  Interest
expense on the note payable decreased $1,521,031 or 100% as a result of the
Trust redeeming in full the note issued pursuant to the Note Issuance Agreement
in 1993.  During the nine month period of 1994 the Trust recognized a loss of
$227,708 as a result of selling its capital stock of the Saratoga Building,
