                                  JUNE 30, 1996
              ------------------------------------------------------



NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
- ---------------------

Franklin  Select Realty Trust (the  "Company")  (formerly  Franklin  Select Real
Estate  Income Fund) is a California  corporation  formed on January 5, 1989 for
the purpose of investing in  income-producing  real  property.  The Company is a
real estate  investment trust ("REIT") having elected to qualify as a REIT under
the  applicable  provisions of the Internal  Revenue Code since 1989.  Under the
Internal  Revenue Code and applicable  state income tax law, a qualified REIT is
not  subject to income tax if at least 95% of its  taxable  income is  currently
distributed  to its  stockholders  and other REIT tests are met. The Company has
distributed  at least  95% of its  taxable  income  and  intends  to  distribute
substantially all of its taxable income in the future. Accordingly, no provision
is made for income taxes in these financial statements.

On May 7,  1996,  Franklin  Real  Estate  Income  Fund ( "FREIF" ) and  Franklin
Advantage  Real Estate Income Fund (  "Advantage" ) merged into the Company.  In
connection with the merger of the three  companies  ("the Merger"),  the Company
issued  approximately  7,945,000  shares  of Series A common  stock and  559,718
shares of Series B common stock in exchange for 3,363,877  and 3,013,713  shares
of Series A common stock and 319,308 and 124,240 shares of Series B common stock
of FREIF and Advantage, respectively, in each case excluding dissenting shares.

Shareholders representing  approximately 635,638 shares of FREIF Series A common
stock and 1,077,667  shares of Company Series A common stock elected to exercise
dissenter's rights pursuant to Chapter 13 of the California General  Corporation
Law. The Company, as the surviving  corporation after the merger, is required to
pay the fair market value for such  dissenting  shares.  The Company has offered
the dissenting  shareholders  approximately  $7.9 million for their shares.  The
shareholders  have asserted  approximately $12 million as the fair market value.
If the Company and any  dissenting  shareholder  cannot agree on the fair market
value, either party may file a complaint in the superior court within six months
of mailing the notice of merger,  asking the court to determine  the fair market
value of the dissenting shares.

As of June 30,  1996,  the  Company's  real estate  portfolio  consisted  of fee
interests in the Shores Office Complex, a three-building  office complex located
in Redwood  City,  California;  the Data General  Building  located in Manhattan
Beach,  California;  the Mira Loma Shopping Center, a shopping center located in
Reno, Nevada; three separate research and development buildings in the Northport
Business Park,  located in Fremont,  California;  the Glen Cove Shopping  Center
located in Vallejo,  California; the Fairway Center, a two story office building
located in Brea,  California;  and the Carmel  Mountain  Gateway Plaza, a retail
center located in San Diego, California.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- ------------------------------

The  accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements  have  been  presented  as a
reorganization  of entities under common control due to the common management of
the  Company,  FREIF and  Advantage  by the  Advisor  and are  reflected  in the
financial statements at their combined historical bases. Prior periods have been
restated to give effect to the merger.

The  accompanying   unaudited  financial   statements  contain  all  adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are necessary, in the opinion of
management, for a fair presentation. The statements, which do not include all of
the  information  and  footnotes  required  by  generally  accepted   accounting
principles for complete financial statements, should be read in conjunction with
the Company's,  FREIF's and Advantage's  financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 1995.

                    ----------------------------------------



NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
- -----------------------------------

The Company has an agreement with Franklin  Properties,  Inc. (The "Advisor") to
administer  the  day-to-day  operations  of the Company.  Under the terms of the
amended  agreement,  which is  renewable  annually,  the  Advisor  will  receive
quarterly  an  annualized  fee equal to .5% of the  Company's  gross real estate
assets,  defined generally as the book value of the assets before  depreciation.
The fee will be reduced  to .4% for gross  real  estate  assets  exceeding  $200
million.

At June 30, 1996,  cash  equivalents  included  $1,030,000  invested in Franklin
Money Fund,  an  investment  company  managed by an  affiliate  of the  Advisor.
Distributions  earned from the Franklin  Money Fund totaled  $11,000 for the six
month period ended June 30, 1996.

The agreements between the Company and the Advisor,  or affiliates,  provide for
certain  types of  compensation  and payments  including  but not limited to the
following  for those  services  rendered for the six month period ended June 30,
1996:

Advisory fee expense, charged to related party expense               $231,000

Reimbursement for data processing, accounting and certain             $31,000
 other expenses, charged to related party expense

Property management fee, charged to related party expense            $298,000

Leasing commission, capitalized and amortized
 over the term of the related lease                                   $73,000

Construction supervision fee, capitalized and amortized
 over the life of the related investment or the term
 of the related lease                                                  $1,000

NOTE 4 - COMMON STOCK AND PER SHARE INFORMATION
- -----------------------------------------------

In 1994,  the Company  issued to the Advisor an exchange  right to exchange  the
Series B common  stock  held by the  Advisor  for  Series  A  common  stock.  In
connection with the Merger,  the Company issued an additional  exchange right to
the Advisor in respect to the shares of Series B common stock held by Advisor in
FREIF and  Advantage  which were  exchanged in the merger for Series B shares of
the Company.  The exchange rights are exercisable  only when the Series A common
stock achieves  certain  target trading prices for 20 consecutive  trading days.
The number of shares of Series B common  stock that will  exchange  for Series A
common  stock,  and the related  trading  prices  that must be  achieved  are as
follows:  149,088  Series B shares will be exchanged for 149,088 Series A shares
at a target  trading price of $8.42,  185,866  Series B shares will be exchanged
for 185,866  Series A shares at a target  trading  price of $10.35,  and 410,630
Series  B shares  will be  exchanged  for  287,441  Series A shares  at a target
trading  price of $11.33.  The rates of  exchange  and  trading  prices  will be
subject to change under certain  circumstances as provided in the Exchange Right
Agreement.

No  distributions  will be paid on the Series B shares  prior to exercise of the
exchange  rights.  After exercise of an exchange  right,  the Advisor,  like any
other shareholder, will receive distributions on its Series A shares.

Series A and Series B common stock have the same voting rights. Distributions on
Series A common stock are declared at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

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

INTRODUCTION
- ------------

Management's  discussion  and  analysis of  financial  condition  and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes
thereto.

As more fully described under  Liquidity and Capital  Resources,  on May 7, 1996
Franklin Real Estate Income Fund and Franklin  Advantage Real Estate Income Fund
merged into the  Company.  The  financial  statements  of the Company  have been
presented as a  reorganization  of entities  under common control and therefore,
the financial  statements,  discussions  of operations and liquidity and capital
are reflected at their  combined  historical  bases.  The Company now owns seven
office, industrial and retail properties located in the major metropolitan areas
of northern and southern California and Nevada.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995

Net income for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 decreased  $766,000,  or
29%,  compared to 1995  primarily due to  non-recurring  consolidation  expenses
totaling  $706,000  and general  and  administrative  expenses  of $72,000  also
related to the merger.

Total revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 increased $66,000, or
1%,  compared to the same period in 1995.  The  increase is  attributable  to an
increase in rental  revenue of $45,000 as a result of improved  occupancy at the
Shores  Office  Complex to 100% at June 30,  1996 and to an increase in interest
and  dividend  revenue of $21,000  primarily  due to higher  yields  realized on
investments in mortgage-backed securities

Total expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 1996, increased $832,000,
or 19% from  $4,424,000  in 1995 to  $5,256,000  in 1996.  The increase in total
expenses  primarily   resulted  from  non-recurring   expenses  of  the  merger.
Explanations of the material changes in total expenses are as follows:

Related  party  expense for the six month period  ended June 30, 1996  increased
$48,000  as a result of  increases  in  advisory  fees of $55,000  and  property
management fees of $12,000.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease
in data processing expense of $19,000.

General and administrative expense for the six month period ended June 30, 1996,
increased  $105,000  primarily due to increases in  non-recurring  legal fees of
$36,000, and merger related expenses of $72,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

As described in Note 1 to the accompanying  financial statements,  effective May
7, 1996,  Franklin  Real Estate  Income Fund ( "FREIF" ) and Franklin  Advantage
Real Estate Income Fund (  "Advantage" ) merged into the Company.  In connection
with the Merger, the Company issued  approximately  7,945,000 shares of Series A
common  stock  and  559,718  shares  of Series B common  stock in  exchange  for
3,363,877 and 3,009,479  shares of Series A common stock and 319,308 and 124,240
shares of Series B common stock of FREIF and  Advantage,  respectively,  in each
case excluding dissenting shares.

Shareholders representing  approximately 635,638 shares of FREIF Series A common
stock, and 1,077,667 shares of Company Series A common stock elected to exercise
dissenter's rights pursuant to Chapter 13 of the California General  Corporation
Law. The Company, as the surviving  corporation after the merger, is required to
pay the fair market value for such  dissenting  shares.  The Company has offered
the dissenting  shareholders  approximately  $7.9 million for their shares.  The
shareholders  have asserted  approximately $12 million as the fair market value.
If the Company and any

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)
- -------------------------------

dissenting  shareholder cannot agree on the fair market value,  either party may
file a complaint in the  superior  court within six months of mailing the notice
of merger, asking the court to determine the fair market value of the dissenting
shares. Alternatively,  if an agreement is not reached and neither party files a
complaint within the six month period, then the Company's dissenting shares will
cease to be  dissenting,  and the FREIF  dissenting  shares will be converted to
approximately  817,000  shares of Series A common stock of the Company.  In that
event,  the  Company  would  be  relieved  of the  obligation  to  purchase  the
dissenting   shares,  and  the  Company's  total  payments  for  quarterly  cash
distributions  would  return  to  a  level  substantially  equal  to  the  total
distributions that were paid by the Company, FREIF and Advantage,  on a combined
basis prior,  to the Merger.  The  Company's  cash  distributions  per share are
expected  to  remain  unchanged  regardless  of how the  dissenting  shares  are
resolved. The Company's source of capital to purchase the dissenting shares will
vary  depending upon the amount of funds  required.  The most likely sources are
the Company's cash reserves,  the liquidation of its marketable  securities,  or
debt financing. At June 30, 1996, the cash reserves and marketable securities of
the Company totaled  approximately $11.5 million, and the assets and liabilities
of the Company are  approximately  $113.5 million and $8 million,  respectively.
Therefore,  management  believes  that it has  adequate  sources  of  capital to
purchase the dissenting shares.

The  Company's  principal  source  of  capital  for the  acquisition  and  major
renovation of properties has been the proceeds from the initial public  offering
of its stock.  The Company's cash flow has been its principal  source of capital
for minor  property  improvements,  leasing  costs and the payment of  quarterly
distributions.  The Company's investment in mortgage-backed  securities consists
of GNMA,  FNMA and FMLMC  adjustable  rate  pass-through  certificates  in which
payments of principal and interest are  guaranteed by the  respective  agencies.
However,  changes  in  market  interest  rates  cause  the  market  value of the
securities  to  fluctuate,  which could result in a realized gain or loss to the
Company if the securities are sold before maturity.

In the short-term and in the long term,  management  believes that the Company's
current  sources  of  capital  will  continue  to be  adequate  to meet both its
operating requirements and the payment of dividends.

Net cash  provided by operating  activities  for the six month period ended June
30,  1996 was  $3,077,000,  or $860,000  less than the same period in 1995.  The
decrease  in  cash  flows   provided  by  operating   activities   is  primarily
attributable  to the  decrease  in net income as  described  under  "Results  of
Operations".

Net cash  provided by investing  activities  for the six month period ended June
30,  1996,  increased  $251,000  when  compared to the same period in 1995.  The
increase  was  due  to  an  increase  in  principal   payments   received   from
mortgage-backed  securities  which  was  partially  offset  by  an  increase  in
improvements to rental property.

Net cash  used in  financing  activities  increased  $1,346,000  reflecting  the
payment of an interim cash  distribution  to  shareholders  in May, 1996 and the
payoff of the Fairway  Center  note  payable in the amount of $480,000 in March,
1996.

Funds from  Operations  for the six month period  ended June 30, 1996  decreased
$785,000,  or 18%,  to  $3,486,000  compared  to the same  period  in 1995.  The
decrease is primarily due to $778,000 of total merger related expenses  incurred
in 1996.  The  Company  believes  that  Funds  from  Operations  is  helpful  in
understanding a property portfolio in that such calculation reflects income from
operating  activities and the properties'  ability to support general  operating
expenses and interest expense before the impact of certain  activities,  such as
gains and losses from property sales and changes in the accounts  receivable and
accounts payable.  However,  it does not measure whether income is sufficient to
fund all of the Company's cash needs including principal  amortization,  capital
improvements and distributions to shareholders. Funds from Operations should not
be  considered an  alternative  to net income or any other GAAP  measurement  of
performance  or as an alternative to cash flows from  operating,  investing,  or
financing  activities  as a measure of  liquidity.  As  defined by the  National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Funds from Operations

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

- -------------------------------

is net income ( computed in accordance  with GAAP ),  excluding  gains or losses
from  debt   restructuring   and  sales  of  property,   plus  depreciation  and
amortization,  and after  adjustment  for  unconsolidated  joint  ventures.  The
Company reports Funds from Operations in accordance with the NAREIT  definition.
For the periods  presented,  Funds from  Operations  represents  net income plus
depreciation and amortization.  The measure of Funds from Operations as reported
by the Company  may not be  comparable  to  similarly  titled  measures of other
companies that follow different definitions.

IMPACT OF INFLATION
- -------------------
The Company's  management  believes that inflation may have a positive effect on
the Company's  property  portfolio,  but this effect generally will not be fully
realized until such  properties are sold or exchanged.  The Company's  policy of
negotiating leases which incorporate operating expense "pass-through" provisions
is intended to protect the Company against  increased  operating costs resulting
from inflation.

DISTRIBUTIONS
- -------------
Distributions  are  declared  quarterly  at  the  discretion  of  the  Board  of
Directors.  The Company's  present  distribution  policy is to at least annually
evaluate the current  distribution rate in light of anticipated  tenant turnover
over the next two or three years, the estimated level of associated improvements
and  leasing  commissions,   planned  capital  expenditures,  any  debt  service
requirements  and  the  Company's  other  working  capital  requirements.  After
balancing these considerations,  and considering the Company's earnings and cash
flow, the level of its liquid reserves and other relevant  factors,  the Company
seeks to establish a distribution rate which:

          i)   provides a stable distribution which is sustainable despite short
               term fluctuations in property cash flows;
          ii)  maximizes  the  amount  of cash  flow  paid out as  distributions
               consistent with the above listed objective; and
          iii) complies with the Internal  Revenue Code  requirement that a REIT
               annually  pay  out as  distributions  not  less  than  95% of its
               taxable income.

During  the  six-month   period  ended  June  30,  1996,  the  Company  declared
distributions totaling $3,044,000.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

On November  2, 1995,  the Boards of  Directors  of the Company and of two other
real estate investment trusts that Franklin Properties,  Inc. advises,  Franklin
Advantage Real Estate Income Fund  ("Advantage") and Franklin Real Estate Income
Fund ("FREIF"), authorized the execution of a Merger Agreement and the filing of
a Joint Proxy  Statement/Prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

1996.

At a Special Meeting of Shareholders held on May 7, 1996, the proposed merger of
the Company with  Advantage  and FREIF was approved.  Among other  requirements,
completion  of the  merger  was  subject to the  approval  of a majority  of the
