                   TOWER PROPERTIES COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
                 FOOTNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  (UNAUDITED)

1.    The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared
by the Company and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for
a fair statement of the results for the interim periods.  Certain information
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed
or omitted, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading.  It is suggested that these
condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and the notes thereto included in the company's latest
annual report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 1994.
      The company is primarily engaged in owning, developing, leasing and
managing real property, which except for the Hillsborough and Peppertree
apartments, the Barkley Place commercial office building and the commercial
warehouse/office facility (which are located in Mission, Merriam, and Overland
Park, Kansas) are located in Kansas City, Missouri.  Substantially all of the
improved real estate owned by the Company and its subsidiaries consist of
office buildings, apartment complexes, a warehouse/office facility and
automobile parking lots and garages.

2.    Tenant leasehold improvements are being amortized over the lives of the
related leases using the straight-line method.

3.    Interest paid during the first six months of 1995 and 1994 were $729,651
and $551,868, respectively.  Income taxes paid during the first six months of
1995 and 1994 amounted to $212,824 and $220,827, respectively.

4.    Certain prior quarter amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
1995 presentation.

5.    Effective January 1, 1994, the Company implemented the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115.  Under SFAS No.
115, the investment in Commerce common stock is classified as "available for
sale," and is recorded at fair market value.  The unrealized gain of $972,307
net of tax effects of $340,307 is reflected as a separate component of equity.
The increase in the net unrealized holding gain for the six months from
December 31, 1994 to June 30, 1995 was $162,268 and $19,092 for the three
months from March 31, 1995 to June 30, 1995.

6.    REAL ESTATE HELD FOR SALE
      Revenue is recorded on the sale of real estate when sold.  All sales are
to developers or builders for cash or short-term notes receivable.  The
Company's real estate held for sale is recorded at cost which does not exceed
its estimated realizable value.  In 1994, the Company eliminated its valuation
reserve for real estate held for sale.  In the opinion of management, the
reserve is no longer deemed necessary due to current market conditions.
      Supplemental disclosure of noncash investing activity:  In the first
quarter, of 1994, the Company exchanged real estate held for sale for a
$135,000 note receivable.  This note was satisfied during the first quarter of
1995.

7.    ACQUISITIONS:
      On June 30, 1995, the Company purchased a warehouse/office facility for
$2,600,000.  The warehouse/office facility is a 93,923 square foot, single
tenant commercial warehouse and office facility located in Overland Park,
Kansas.  The Company used the line of credit with Commerce Bank of Kansas City
to acquire the property.  The Company is arranging for permanent financing in
the amount of $1,950,000 from Northland Financial Company.  This mortgage loan
will have a twenty-year amortization term and bears interest at a fixed rate
of 8%.  The proceeds of this loan will be used to reduce the line of credit.


8.    CONTINGENCIES
      Congress passed the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (the Act)
which became effective January 26, 1992.  The Act contains provisions for
building owners to provide persons with disabilities with accommodations and
access equal to, or similar to, that available to the general public.
Management cannot estimate the eventual impact of the Act on the financial
condition of the Company since certain provisions of the Act are open to
interpretation.  The Company is implementing the requirements of the Act that
are readily achievable and will not constitute an undue burden on the Company.
During 1995 and 1994, the Company made modifications to certain properties at
a cost of approximately $1,100 and $2,300, respectively.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                           OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
      The Company's principal assets consist of real estate holdings which are
not liquid assets.  Real estate holdings include office buildings, parking
facilities, apartments and land held for future sale.  The principal source of
funds generated internally is income from operations and proceeds from real
estate sales.  The principal source of external funds is long-term debt.  The
Company has not experienced liquidity problems during the six months ended
June 30, 1995.  On June 30, 1995,  the Company acquired a warehouse/office
facility located in Overland Park, Kansas, for $2,600,000.  The Company used
the line of credit with Commerce Bank of Kansas City to acquire the property.
The Company is arranging for permanent financing in the amount of $1,950,000
from Northland Financial Company.  This mortgage loan will have a twenty-year
amortization term and bears interest at a fixed rate of 8%.  The proceeds of
this loan will be used to reduce the line of credit.


                         SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995
                COMPARED WITH THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994

RESULT OF OPERATIONS:
      Increased occupancy in the Commerce Tower building, increased revenue
from parking operations and the acquisition of the Barkley Place office
building on July 15, 1994, are primarily responsible for the increase in
rental income of $1,245,493.   Occupancy in the Commerce Tower was 92% at
June, 1995 compared to 76% in 1994.  This increase in occupancy is a result of
leasing approximately 60,000 square feet in the third and fourth quarters of
1994.  Parking revenue increased 18% and apartment rentals increased 8%.  The
acquisition of Barkley in July, 1994, with six months income of $649,073, was
responsible for 52% of the total increase.  The sale of the remaining ten
single family lots located in the New Mark Division during the first quarter
of 1994 accounts for the decrease in real estate sales and cost of real estate
sold.  A decision by management to contract building engineers in September,
1994 accounts for the decrease in management and service fees income and
salaries expense.
      The contract engineering expense of $146,916, the cleaning and sealing
of the exterior precast panels of the Commerce Tower building and the
acquisition of Barkley Place office building on July 15, 1994 are primarily
responsible for the increase in repairs and maintenance of $279,964.  The
acquisition of Barkley is also responsible for the increase in depreciation,
taxes other than income and interest expense.  The decrease in utilities is
primarily due to mild weather conditions in the first half of 1995.
      The increase in amortization of leasehold improvements is primarily
due to the large expenditures for tenant improvements during the last
quarter of 1994 and the first quarter of 1995 being amortized over
the life of the respective leases.  The decrease in professional fees
and other expenses is primarily due to the expenses incurred in


<PAGE> 10
connection with the land lease on the land at 6th and Main Streets and the
possible construction of a downtown parking garage during the first half of
1994.


                        THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995
                 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994

RESULTS OF OPERATION
      Increased occupancy in the Commerce Tower building, increased revenue in
parking operations, and the acquisition of the Barkley Place office building
effective July 15, 1994 are primarily responsible for the increase in rental
income of $657,155.  The increase in occupancy as a result of leasing
approximately 60,000 square feet of the Commerce Tower during the third and
fourth quarter of 1994 resulted in an increase in income of 12%.  Parking
revenue increase 19% and apartment rentals increased 12%.  The acquisition of
Barkley in July, 1994, with second quarter income of $317,445, was responsible
for 48% of the total increase.  The sale of the remaining ten single family
lots located in the New Mark Division during the first quarter of 1994
accounts for the decrease in real estate sales and cost of real estate sold.
A decision by management to contract building engineers in September, 1994
accounts for the decrease in management and service fees income and salaries
expense.
      The increase of $185,333 in maintenance and repairs is primarily due to
the contract engineering expense of 1995 and the acquisition of Barkley Place
office building offset by the painting of the Hillsborough, New Mark and
Peppertree apartment complexes in 1994.
      The increase in taxes other than income and interest of $150,825 is a
direct result of the acquisition of the Barkley Place office building on July
15, 1994.  The decrease in utilities is primarily due to mild weather
conditions in 1995.
      The decrease in professional fees and other expenses is primarily due to
the expenses incurred in connection with the land lease on the land at 6th and
Main streets and the possible construction of a downtown parking garage during
1994.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES:
      Due to the lack of governmental regulations regarding asbestos and
uncertainty surrounding the advantages and disadvantages of asbestos removal,
Tower Properties Company will continue to monitor asbestos and will take
appropriate action when required.

AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT:
      Congress passed the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (the Act)
which became effective January 26, 1992.  the Act contains provisions for
building owners to provide persons with disabilities with accommodations and
access equal to, or similar to, that available to the general public. Management
cannot estimate the eventual impact of the Act on the financial conditions of
the company since certain provisions of the Act are open to interpretation.
The Company is implementing the requirements of the Act that are

readily achievable and will not constitute an undue burden on the Company.
During 1995 and 1994, the Company made modifications to certain properties at
a cost of approximately $1,100 and $2,300, respectively.
