Basis of Presentation

Note 1.

  See Form 8-K dated June 25, 1996 filed on July 9, 1996  regarding  the sale of
the Sam's Club located in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin.

Note 2.

  The Registrant sold the Pearle Express Store located in Orland Park,  Illinois
(the  "Property") on July 10, 1996.  Accounts  related to the Property have been
eliminated  and interest  income has been added  assuming  that the net proceeds
from the sale were invested at 5% per annum until the net proceeds from the sale
were distributed as presented by the pro forma adjustments. See Note 3 below.

Note 3.

  The unaudited  consolidated  statements present the pro forma balance sheet at
March 31, 1996, had the Registrant sold the Sam's Club and the Property on March
31, 1996, and the pro forma statements of operations for the year ended December
31, 1995 and for the three months ended March 31, 1996, had the Registrant  sold
the Sam's Club and the  Property at December  31, 1994 and  December  31,  1995,
respectively.  The unaudited consolidated statements also present the historical
figures previously reported in the appropriate Form 10-K and 10-Q reports.

  No  provision  for  Federal  and  state  income  taxes  has  been  made in the
historical or pro forma consolidated financial statements because the Registrant
qualifies as a REIT and had distributed  amounts in excess of its taxable income
for the respective periods.
