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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1994

Net income for the three month period ended March 31, 1995 increased $42,000, or
11%, compared to 1994 due to the following factors: an increase in rental
revenue of $11,000; an increase in interest and dividends of $41,000; an
increase in depreciation and amortization of $12,000; a decrease in operating
expenses of $18,000; an increase in related party expenses of $24,000; and a
decrease in general and administrative expense of $8,000. Explanations of the
material changes are as follows:

Rental revenue for the three months period ended March 31, 1995 increased
$11,000, or 1%, primarily due to increased rental revenue at the Shores Office
Complex, as a result of an increase in average occupancy at the property. The
average occupancy rate at the Shores Office Complex during the three month
period ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 was 98% and 90%, respectively. The
occupancy rate at the Data General Building was 100% for both periods.

Interest and dividend income for the three month period ended March 31, 1995
increased $41,000, or 54%, due to higher yields realized on investments in
mortgage-backed securities, and due to a higher average investment balance
during 1995

Total expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 1995, increased by
$10,000, or 1%, from $816,000 in 1994 to $826,000. The increase in total
expenses is attributable to the following factors: an increase in depreciation
and amortization of $12,000, or 13%; a decrease in operating expenses of
$18,000, or 6%; an increase in related party expenses of $24,000, or 28%; and a
decrease in general and administrative expense of $8,000, or 13%.

Depreciation and amortization increased $12,000 for the three month period ended
March 31, 1995, reflecting tenant improvement costs at the Shores Office Complex
related to new leases commencing late in 1994.

Operating expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 1995 decreased
$18,000, primarily due to a decrease in property tax expense at the Data General
Building.

Related party expense for the three months period ended March 31, 1995 increased
$24,000, 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 three month period ended March 31,
1995 decreased $8,000 primarily due to a decrease in nonrecurring costs
associated with listing the Company's stock on the American Stock Exchange in
January, 1994 of $9,000.

                       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 March 31, 1995, the Company's cash reserves, including
mortgage-backed securities, aggregated $8,265,000.

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 March 31, 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 three month period ended
March 31, 1995 and 1994 was $809,000 and $629,000, respectively. While $42,000
of the increase can be attributed to an increase in net income, the remainder is
substantially due to changes in accounts receivable and accounts payable.

Funds from Operations for the three month period ended March 31, 1995 increased
to $793,000 compared it $739,000 for the same period in 1994. The increase of
$54,000, or 7%, 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 three-month period ended March 31, 1995, the Company declared
dividends totaling $592,000.
