                       KRANZCO ANNOUNCES POSTPONEMENT OF
                    EXCHANGE OFFER AND NAI RECAPITALIZATION


         CONSHOHOCKEN, PA, Sept. 10 - Kranzco Realty Trust (NYSE:KRT),
announced today that it is extending the expiration date of its previously
announced offer to exchange $8,000,000 of convertible subordinated notes for
80 percent of the issued and outstanding stock of New America Network, Inc.
(NAI) until December 31, 1998. The company stated that "in light of the recent
material disruptions to the securities markets, it would be impracticable at
this time to consummate the Exchange Offer and the related transactions, which
included Kranzco distributing 70.2 percent of NAI's outstanding common stock
to its shareholders, and NAI launching a rights offering and a concurrent
offering of common stock to NAI's network of independently owned, licenced
real estate brokers."

         Kranzco announced that the record date for Kranzco's planned
distribution of NAI common stock to Kranzco's shareholders, which had been set
as September 4, 1998, has been canceled. Kranzco will announce a new record
date for the distribution at a later date.
