*    The transaction value is based on a maximum of 2,994,207 shares of the
     Issuer's $.78 Convertible Series A Preferred Stock which could have been
     surrendered in the transaction at the time of the initial filing of this
     Schedule 13E-3 (because of conversions and opt outs from the settlement
     described below, 2,983,012 shares of such preferred stock are required to
     be surrendered to the Issuer as of the date of this Amendment) multiplied
     by the $3.00 per share that will be paid for the release of claims and each
     such share as part of the settlement of a purported class action and
     derivative lawsuit brought by holders of the $.78 Convertible Series A
     Preferred Stock against the Issuer, certain of its former and present
     directors and executive officers, and its principal stockholder. Even
     though a portion of the $3.00 per share settlement payment is allocable to
     the release of claims (and not entirely to the surrender of each share),
     the Issuer has, nonetheless, calculated the transaction value based on the
     entire $3.00 per share settlement payment. The settlement payment was
     negotiated as part of the settlement. Such settlement was approved by the
     Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware on January 28, 1999, which
     approval became final and no longer subject to appeal at the close of
     business on March 5, 1999.

                               Explanatory Note

   
         Milestone Properties, Inc. ("MPI"), a Delaware corporation, Concord
Assets Group, Inc. ("Concord"), a New York corporation, Leonard S. Mandor and
Robert A. Mandor have filed a Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3
in connection with a settlement (the "Settlement") of a purported class action
and derivative lawsuit (the "Actions"). Concord, Leonard S. Mandor and Robert A.
Mandor are affiliates of MPI. Concord beneficially owns approximately 71% of the
outstanding shares of MPI's common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "MPI
Common Stock"). Leonard S. Mandor and Robert A. Mandor are the only shareholders
of Concord and serve as executive officers and directors of MPI and Concord.
    
   
         A copy of said Schedule 13E-3 (as amended through Amendment No. 4)
was attached as an exhibit to the Notice of Pendency of Class and Derivative
Action, Proposed Settlement, Settlement Hearing and Right to Appear (the
"Settlement Notice"), dated November 13, 1998, a copy of the form of which is
annexed to this Schedule 13E-3 as Exhibit 1. The Settlement Notice has been
distributed to all holders of record of shares of MPI's $.78 Convertible
Series A preferred stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Preferred Stock"), as
of October 23, 1995 and their successors in interest through the close of
business on March 5, 1999, the Settlement Effective Date, and to all holders
of shares of MPI Common Stock as of the close of business on August 25, 1998
and their successors in interest through the Settlement Effective Date.
    
   
         This Amendment No. 6 to said Schedule 13E-3 is being filed to record
that (i) the order of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware approving
the Settlement became final and no longer subject to appeal at the close of
business on March 5, 1999 and, accordingly, at such time, that the Settlement
became effective and (ii) as a result of the consummation of the Settlement,
MPI has cancelled and retired 2,983,012 shares of MPI Preferred Stock. Such
2,983,012 shares constituted more than 99% of the shares of MPI Preferred
Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on
March 5, 1999 and were held by MPI Preferred Stockholders who did not properly
opt out of the Settlement or who were not otherwise precluded from
participating in the Settlement (specifically, the Defendants and their
affiliates and members of their families). MPI Preferred Stockholders
immediately prior to the close of business on March 5, 1999, other than MPI
Preferred Stockholders who properly opted out of the Settlement or who were
otherwise precluded from participating in the Settlement, will receive in the
mail copies of a Letter of Transmittal which explains how they can claim, and
which needs to be completed in order for them to receive, the consideration
payable to them in connection with the Settlement.
    
   
         Item 6 of said Schedule 13E-3 is being amended by this Amendment No.
6 to update information regarding the amount of funds MPI believes is
necessary to effect the Rule 13e-3 transaction and to indicate that MPI has
now filed a lawsuit against two insurers in connection with the insurers'
denials of coverage under certain directors and officers insurance policies
issued to MPI of the amounts MPI has to pay pursuant to the Actions and the
Settlement.
    

<PAGE>

Item 6.      Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

   
         (a) The total amount of funds necessary for the purchase of the
maximum number of shares of MPI Preferred Stock to be acquired in the Rule
13e-3 transaction is $8,949,036. Additional expenses of approximately
$1,505,000 are anticipated to be incurred in connection with the Rule 13e-3
transaction. The source of the funds necessary to effectuate such transaction
would be from MPI's existing cash reserves.
    
   
         MPI maintains a directors and officers insurance and company
reimbursement policy (the "National Policy") issued by National Union Fire
Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA ("National Union") with a $2,000,000 limit
and an excess directors and officers liability and company reimbursement
policy (the "Stonewall Policy") issued by Stonewall Surplus Lines Insurance
Company, now known as American Dynasty Surplus Lines Insurance Company
("Stonewall"), with a $2,000,000 limit. MPI believes that the amounts that it
has to pay pursuant to the Settlement and in connection with the Actions are
covered losses under both the National Union Policy and the Stonewall Policy.
In addition, MPI believes that the legal fees and other expenses incurred by
MPI and the other Defendants in connection with the Actions are also covered
losses under both the National Union Policy and the Stonewall Policy. In
connection with a previous proposed settlement of the Actions which was never
consummated, the terms of which are described in the response to Item 7(b) of
this Schedule 13E-3, National Union and Stonewall both refused to contribute
to such proposed settlement, asserting that such proposed settlement did not
encompass any covered loss (as defined in the National Policy and the
Stonewall Policy, respectively). On January 29, 1998, the Filers, along with
the other Defendants, commenced a lawsuit in the United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York against National Union and Stonewall in
connection with such refusal to contribute to such proposed settlement. In the
complaint, the plaintiffs alleged that National Union and Stonewall wrongfully
failed to contribute to the proposed settlement and sought reimbursement from
National Union and Stonewall up to the limits of their respective policies.
National Union and Stonewall both answered the complaint and denied liability.
As a result of the termination of the previously proposed settlement, MPI on
one hand, and Stonewall and National Union, on the other hand, agreed to
dismiss such action without prejudice and such action was dismissed on May 29,
1998 by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York. MPI gave both National Union and Stonewall notice of the Settlement and
provided each of them with a copy of the Settlement Agreement on August 12,
1998. National Union and Stonewall reviewed the Settlement Agreement and
separately informed MPI that their basic position, denying coverage, had not
changed. On February 12, 1999, MPI commenced a lawsuit in the Circuit Court
for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida
against both National Union and Stonewall alleging, among other things, that
National Union and Stonewall have wrongfully refused to contribute to the
Settlement and seeking reimbursement from National Union and Stonewall up to
the limits of their respective policies. The complaint in the new lawsuit was
served on each of National Union and Stonewall on February 12, 1999; National
Union must answer by March 19, 1999 and Stonewall was required to answer
by March 15, 1999. At the time of the filing of this Amendment, MPI has
not received a reply from Stonewall. At this time, MPI is not in a
position to render an opinion as to the outcome of this action.

         (b) The expenses incurred or estimated to be incurred in connection
with the Rule 13e-3 transaction, which would be paid by MPI, are as follows:

   
                Plaintiff's attorneys' fees and expenses      $   750,000
                Cash payment                                    8,949,036
                Printing and mailing                              100,000
                Accounting fees                                    15,000
                Exchange agent fees                                20,000
                MPI's legal fees and expenses                     600,000
                Miscellaneous                                      20,000
                                                              -----------
                         Total                                $10,454,036
    
         The aggregate amount of MPI's legal fees and expenses, incurred and
estimated to be incurred, set forth above, includes amounts previously paid.

         (c) No part of such funds discussed in paragraph (b) of this Item 6
or any other consideration is expected to be, directly or indirectly, borrowed
for the purpose of the Rule 13e-3 transaction.

         (d) No part of the funds to be used in the Rule 13e-3 transaction is
to be from a loan made by a bank.
