expenses, described in Note 2 to the statement, that would not be comparable to

Pro Forma Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
(unaudited) The Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Operations for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 1997 is presented as if 11 of the 13 Property
acquisitions during 1997 had occurred on January 1, 1997. The Unaudited Pro
Forma Statement of Operations assumes the Company qualifying as a REIT,
distributing at least 95% of its taxable income, and, therefore, incurred no
federal income tax liability for the period presented.  In the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of these
transactions have been made.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Operations is presented for comparative
purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of
the Company would have been for the period ended September 30, 1997 if the
acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, nor does it
purport to be indicative of the results of operations in future periods. The
Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Operations should be read in conjunction with,
and is qualified in its entirety by, the respective historical financial
statements and notes thereto of the Company incorporated by reference into this
Prospectus.
