Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994

Net income for the six month period ended June 30, 1995 increased $108,000, or
16%, compared to 1994 due to the following factors: an increase in rental
revenue of $60,000; an increase in interest and dividends of $59,000; an
increase in depreciation and amortization of $22,000; a decrease in operating
expenses of $8,000; an increase in related party expenses of $45,000; a decrease
in general and administrative expense of $35,000 and a decrease in loss on sale
of mortgage-backed securities of $13,000. Explanations of the material changes
are as follows:

Rental revenue for the six months period ended June 30, 1995 increased $60,000,
or 3%, primarily due to increased rental revenue at the Shores Office Complex,
as a result of an increase in average occupancy and rental rates. The average
occupancy rate at the Shores Office Complex during the six month periods ended
June 30, 1995 and 1994 was 98% and 93%, respectively. The occupancy rate at the
Data General Building was 100% for both periods.

Interest and dividend income for the six month period ended June 30, 1995
increased $59,000, or 34%, due to higher yields realized on investments in
mortgage-backed securities.

Total expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 1995, increased by
$11,000, or 1%, from $1,711,000 in 1994 to $1,722,000. The increase in total
expenses is attributable to the following factors: an increase in depreciation
and amortization of $22,000, or 3%; a decrease in operating expenses of $8,000,
or 1%; an increase in related party expenses of $45,000, or 25%; a decrease in
general and administrative expense of $35,000, or 27%; and a decrease in loss on
sale of mortgage-backed securities of $13,000.

Depreciation and amortization increased $22,000 for the six month period ended
June 30, 1995, reflecting tenant improvement costs at the Shores Office Complex
related to new leases commencing in late 1994.

Operating expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 1995 decreased
$8,000, primarily due to a decrease in property tax expense at the Data General
Building.

Related party expense for the six months period ended June 30, 1995 increased
$45,000, primarily due to an increase in advisory fees related to the conversion
of the Company to an infinite life REIT on October 1, 1994.

General and administrative expense for the six month period ended June 30, 1995
decreased $35,000 primarily due to a decrease in nonrecurring costs associated
with listing the Company's stock on the American Stock Exchange in January, 1994
of $27,000.

                         Item 2. Management's Discussion
                       and Analysis of Financial Condition
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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 funds from operations have been its principal source
of capital for minor property improvements, leasing costs and the payment of
quarterly dividends. At June 30, 1995, the Company's cash reserves, including
mortgage-backed securities, aggregated $8,348,000.

The Company is currently examining the possibility of raising additional capital
through arranging debt financing on its existing portfolio. Any capital raised
in this manner would be used to acquire additional properties and for other
corporate purposes.

As of June 30, 1995, the Company had no formal borrowing arrangements with a
bank and has no long-term debt. Each of the Company's properties is owned free
and clear of mortgage indebtedness.

Management continues to evaluate other properties for acquisition by the
Company. 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 flow provided by operating activities for the six month period ended
June 30, 1995 was $1,439,000 which was substantially unchanged from the same
period in 1994. Although net income increased during the period by $108,000, it
was substantially offset by increases in accounts receivable and leasing
commissions.

Funds from Operations for the three month period ended June 30, 1995 increased
$117,000, or 8%, to $1,547,000 compared to the same period in 1994. The increase
is primarily due to the improvement in net income as described under "Results of
Operations" above. 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 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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (Continued)

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.

DIVIDENDS
Dividends are declared quarterly at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
The Company's present dividend policy is to at least annually evaluate the
current dividend 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 dividend rate which:

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

During the six-month period ended June 30, 1995, the Company declared dividends
totaling $1,184,000.
