                                            INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Milestone Properties, Inc.

We have  reviewed  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheet of  Milestone
Properties,  Inc. and its subsidiaries  (the "Company") as of June 30, 2000, and
the related  consolidated  statements  of revenues and  expenses,  stockholders'
equity,  and cash flows for the three  month and six month  periods  then ended.
These  financial  statements  are the  responsibility  of the  management of the
Company.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants.  A review  of  interim  financial
information consists principally of applying analytical  procedures to financial
data and making  inquiries of persons  responsible  for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with  generally  accepted  auditing  standards,  the  objective  of which is the
expression of an opinion  regarding the financial  statements  taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material  modifications that should
be made to the accompanying June 30, 2000 consolidated  financial statements for
them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Milestone Properties, Inc.

accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles for interim financial
information and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation
S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include  all of the  information  and  footnotes
required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete  financial
statements. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring  accruals)  considered  necessary  for a fair  presentation  have been
included. The financial statements as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2000
and 1999 are unaudited.  The consolidated  financial  statements for the periods
ended June 30,  2000 have been  reviewed  by an  independent  public  accountant
pursuant to Rule 10-01 (d) of Regulation S-X and following  applicable standards
for  conducting  such reviews,  and the report of the  accountant is included as
part of this filing.  The results of operations for the interim  periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the fiscal year. Certain
information for 1999 has been reclassified to conform to the 2000  presentation.
These consolidated  financial  statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial  statements  and footnotes  included  thereto in the Company's  Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

Wraparound  Notes,  the "Wrap  Debt")  which are secured by 10  commercial  real
properties (the "Underlying  Properties" and,  together with the Fee Properties,
the  "Properties"),  (iii)  one  parcel  of land  and  (iv)  the  operation  and

2.       Income Taxes

The Company is required by Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS)
No. 109 to record a deferred tax asset or liability for the basis of an asset or
liability that is temporarily different for financial reporting purposes and tax
reporting  purposes.  Income taxes for interim  periods are  generally  computed
using the  effective  tax rate  estimated to be  applicable  for the full fiscal
year.   The  interim  tax   provision  is  adjusted  for  specific   significant
transactions  which affect  deferred tax assets or liabilities as recorded under
SFAS 109.

During the first half of the year 2000, the Wraparound Notes held by the Company
on the six properties  previously  described above were  satisfied.  Relating to
such Wraparound  Notes, the Company had previously  recorded deferred tax assets
which were realized  through the provision for income taxes. As a consequence of
realizing  the deferred tax assets  specifically  recorded for these  Wraparound
Notes, which is a non-cash tax adjustment,  the Company's effective tax rate for
the period ended June 30, 2000 is different  from the expected  federal tax rate
of 35%, and the expected rate for the entire year 2000 may also be different.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
     of Operations.

General

This  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2000 filed by
Milestone   contains  or  incorporates  by  reference  certain   forward-looking
statements  within the meaning of Section 27A of the  Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 and Milestone  intends that
such forward-looking  statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby.
Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and include, but
are not limited to, statements  regarding future events and its plans, goals and
objectives. Such statements are generally accompanied by words such as "intend,"
"anticipate,"  "believe,"  "estimate,"  "expect" or similar  terms.  Milestone's
actual results may differ  materially from such  statements.  Factors that could
cause  or  contribute  to such  differences  include,  without  limitation,  the
following:  (i) its plans, strategies,  objectives,  expectations and intentions
are subject to change at any time at its discretion;  (ii) general  economic and
business conditions, which may, among other things, affect the demand for retail
space or retails goods,  the availability  and  creditworthiness  of prospective
tenants,  rental terms and the terms and availability of financing,  are subject
to change at any time;  (iii) adverse changes in real estate markets  including,
among other things,  competition with other  companies;  (iv) adverse changes in
the properties  Milestone  owns which could require the  expenditure of funds to
fix  or  maintain  such  properties;  (v)  the  general  risks  of  real  estate
development  and  acquisitions,  such as changes in  demographics,  construction
delays, cost overruns,  work stoppages and slowdowns,  the cost and availability
of  skilled  labor  and  weather  conditions;   (vi)  governmental  actions  and
initiatives,  such as seizures of property,  condemnation  and  construction  of
alternative roadways; (vii) environmental and safety conditions and hazards; and
(viii) other risks and uncertainties  indicated from time to time in Milestone's
filings  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  and in the  documents
incorporated   herein  by  reference.   Although  Milestone  believes  that  the
assumptions underlying its forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the
assumptions  could prove  inaccurate and,  therefore,  Milestone cannot make any
assurances that the results contemplated in such forward-looking statements will
be realized.  The inclusion of such  forward-looking  information  should not be
regarded as a  representation  by  Milestone or any other person that the future
events,  plans or  expectations  contemplated  by  Milestone  will be  achieved.
Furthermore,  past  performance  is  not  necessarily  an  indicator  of  future
performance.

The  Company  is  engaged  in  the  business  of  owning,  acquiring,  managing,
developing  and  investing  in  commercial  real estate and real estate  related
assets. See Part I - Financial Information,  Item 1. Financial Statements, Notes
to Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  Note 1.  Acquisition and Disposition of
Real Estate Related Assets.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1999

For the three  months ended June 30, 2000,  the Company  recognized  net loss of
$124,409,  or $0.03 per share of common stock, basic computation.  For the three
months ended June 30,  1999,  the Company  recognized a net loss of $38,485,  or
$0.01 per share of common stock, basic computation.

Total  revenues  for the three months  ended June 30, 2000 were  $2,643,168,  as
compared to  $5,017,243  for the three months ended June 30, 1999, a decrease of
$2,374,075, or 47%, due primarily to the following:

Rent decreased  $710,845,  or 37%, to $1,236,524 for the three months ended June
30, 2000 as compared to  $1,947,369  for the three  months  ended June 30, 1999.
This decrease is primarily due to property  sales of the  underlying  properties
subsequent to the second quarter of 1999.

Interest  income  decreased  $391,367,  or 32%, to $842,970 for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 compared to  $1,234,337  for the three months ended June 30,
1999.  This  decrease is primarily  due to the Company  receiving  final payment
during 1999 and 2000 on Wraparound  Notes held by the Company as a result of the
sale of some of the Underlying Properties by their owners.

Gain on sale of real estate and real estate related assets decreased  $1,273,793
to none for the three months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to  $1,273,793  for
the three months ended June 30, 1999.  This decrease is due to no property sales
during the second  quarter of 2000 as compared to two property  sales during the
quarter ended June 30, 1999.

Total  expenses  for the three months  ended June 30, 2000 were  $2,751,535,  as
compared to  $4,569,362  for the three months ended June 30, 1999, a decrease of
$1,817,827, or 40% due primarily to the following:

Master Lease  expense  decreased  $1,120,754,  or 67%, to $547,588 for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $1,668,342  for the three months ended
June 30,  1999.  The  decrease is due to a decrease in the number of  properties
leased by the  Company  as a result  of the sale of  several  of the  Underlying
Properties by their owners.

Interest  expense  for the three  months  ended June 30,  2000 was  $658,766,  a
decrease of $260,506,  or 28%, from $919,272 for the three months ended June 30,
1999.  Such  decrease is due to a reduction in the  underlying  debt (related to
underlying properties) of the Company resulting from property sales in both 1999
and 2000.

Salaries, general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30,
2000 was  $545,260,  a decrease of $337,146 or 38%,  from $882,406 for the three
months  ended  June  30,  1999.  The  decrease  is  due to  non-recurring  costs
associated  with the  sale of  several  of the  underlying  properties  by their
owners.

$1,439,843,  or $0.34 per share of common stock, basic computation.  For the six
months ended June 30, 1999,  the Company  recognized a net loss of $271,542,  or
$0.06 per share of common stock, basic computation.

Total  revenues  for the six months  ended  June 30,  2000 were  $8,656,038,  as
compared to  $9,088,247  for the six months  ended June 30,  1999, a decrease of
$432,209, or 5%, due primarily to the following:

Rent decreased  $1,423,665,  or 36%, to $2,565,801 for the six months ended June
30, 2000 as compared to $3,989,466 for the six months ended June 30, 1999.  This
decrease  is  primarily  due to  property  sales  of the  underlying  properties
subsequent to the second quarter of 1999.

Interest income decreased  $1,226,055,  or 45%, to $1,515,316 for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 compared to  $2,741,371  the six months ended June 30, 1999.
This decrease is primarily  due to the Company  receiving  final payment  during
1999 and 2000 on Wraparound Notes held by the Company as a result of the sale of
some of the Underlying Properties by their owners.

Gain on sale of real estate and real estate related assets increased  $2,283,877
to  $3,557,670  for the six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $1,273,793
for the six months  ended June 30,  1999.  The  increase is due to six  property
sales for the six months ended June 30,2000  compared to two property  sales for
the same period in 1999.

Total  expenses  for the six months  ended  June 30,  2000 were  $6,267,754,  as
compared to  $9,159,539  for the six months  ended June 30,  1999, a decrease of
$2,891,785, or 32% due primarily to the following:

Master Lease expense  decreased  $2,528,220,  or 70%, to $1,095,176  for the six
months  ended June 30, 2000 as compared to  $3,623,396  for the six months ended
June 30,  1999.  The  decrease is due to a decrease in the number of  properties
leased by the  Company  as a result  of the sale of  several  of the  Underlying
Properties by their owners.

Interest  expense  for the six months  ended  June 30,  2000 was  $1,334,633,  a
decrease of $654,612,  or 33%, from $1,989,245 for the six months ended June 30,
1999.  Such decrease is due to a reduction in the Underlying Debt of the Company
resulting from property sales in both 1999 and 2000.

Amounts paid for extensions in connection  with land purchase  contracts,  which
expired during the six months ended June 30, 2000 were  $748,799;  there were no
comparable  expenditures  for the six months  ended June 30,  1999,  because the
recent  investments in certain land ventures  (described  below) had not expired
until periods after June 30, 1999.

Cash Flows

For the six months ended June 30, 2000,  the Company had an increase in cash and
cash  equivalents  of  $744,860,  as  compared  to a  decrease  in cash and cash
equivalents  of $5,146,976  for the six months ended June 30, 1999.  For the six
months ended June 30, 2000,  cash used in operating  activities was  $2,770,138,
cash provided by investing  activities was $7,417,509 and cash used in financing
activities was $3,902,511. The significant decrease in cash and cash equivalents
for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1999 is  primarily  due to the March  1999
payment of approximately  $8,949,000 of cash to the exchange agent in connection
with the  cancellation  of  Series A  Preferred  Stock  in  accordance  with the
settlement of the Winston Actions (the "Winston  Settlement  Agreement").  Also,
the Company  generated cash proceeds  through five property sales during the six
months  ended June 30,  2000 as compared to two  property  sales  during the six
months ended June 30, 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, the Company  generated cash as a
result of payments received by the Company on its Wraparound Notes, as described
above.  This trend  continued  during  the first  half of 2000 and may  continue
throughout  the year.  See Part I -  Financial  Information,  Item 1.  Financial
Statements,  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 1. Acquisition and
Disposition of Real Estate Related Assets.

The Company had made investments in land ventures ("Ventures"), and the Ventures
previously  assumed  contracts  to purchase  certain  land  parcels in the South
Florida area.  At June 30, 2000, no deposits to purchase land were  outstanding.
No additional  capital  contributions will be required by the Company to service
the  costs  associated  with  extending  the  expiration  dates  of land  parcel
contracts.  The  consolidated  financial  statements of the Company  include the
operating results for the Ventures for the periods ended June 30, 2000.

The  Company's  existing  borrowings  and  the  encumbrances  on the  properties
securing  those  borrowings  may inhibit,  or result in  increased  costs to the
Company in connection with its ability to incur future indebtedness and/or raise
substantial equity capital in the marketplace.

The Company has invested available funds in secure, short-term, interest bearing
investments.  The Company believes that its levels of working capital, liquidity
and funds from operations are sufficient to support present operations.

Other  than  described  herein,  management  is not aware of any  other  trends,
events,  commitments or  uncertainties  that will, or are likely to,  materially
impact the Company's liquidity.

Item 3.        Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk.

The Company,  in its normal  course of  business,  is  theoretically  exposed to
interest rate changes as they relate to real estate  mortgages and the effect of
such  mortgage  rate  changes  on the  value of real  estate.  However,  for the
Company,  most of its mortgage debt is at fixed rates, is for extended terms, is
not assumable  and would be  unaffected by any sudden change in interest  rates.
The Company's  possible risk is from increases in long-term real estate mortgage
rates that may occur over a decade or more,  as this may  decrease  the  overall
value of real estate.  Since the Company intends to hold its existing  mortgages
to  maturity  (or  until the sale of a  Property),  there is  believed  to be no
interest rate market risk to the Company.

The Company's cash  equivalents and short-term  investments,  if any,  generally
bear variable interest rates.  Changes in the market rates of interest available
will affect from  time-to-time  the interest  earned by the  Company.  Since the
Company does not rely on its interest  earnings to fund working  capital  needs,
changes in these interest rates will not have an impact on the Company.
