Basis of Presentation

Note 1.

  The Registrant sold the Sam's Club (the "Property") on June 25, 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 2 below.

Note 2.

  The unaudited  consolidated  statements present the pro forma balance sheet at
March 31, 1996, had the Registrant  sold 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 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.
