If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense
and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should
be completed. (Check box if appropriate)
(a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of
this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable
effort or expense;
[X] (b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition
report on Form 10-KSB, Form 20-F, Form 11-K or Form N- SAR,

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-KSB, Form 20-F,
Form 11-K, Form 10-QSB, Form N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof,
could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if
needed.)
Due to the complexities of integrating the accounting records for the 15
properties acquired by the Company during the quarter ended September 30, 1998
into the Company's accounting system, the Company is unable to timely file its
Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 without
unreasonable effort and expense.

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company
Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter) period that the
registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no,
identify report(s).
[X] Yes [ ] No
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of
operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be
reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or
portion thereof?
[X] Yes [ ] No
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both
narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a
reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
Due to the increase in the number of properties owned by the Company as a result
of the acquisition of 15 properties in the quarter ended September 30, 1998, as
indicated in the pro forma financial information included in the Company's Form
8-K/A1 filed on November 2, 1998 (the "Pro Forma Information"), the Company
anticipates that its results of operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1998 will reflect increases in revenues and expenses associated
with these additional properties as compared with the year earlier periods.
Although the final results have not yet been determined for the reasons set
forth in Part III above, the increases in revenues and expenses are expected to
be in accordance with the Pro Forma Information.
