(2) Segment Reporting

SFAS  No.  131,   Disclosure   About  Segments  of  an  Enterprise  and  Related
Information,  establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises
report information about operating segments in financial statements,  as well as
related  disclosures  about products and services,  geographic  areas, and major
customers.

     The Trust has two reportable operating segments - apartments and commercial
buildings.  The Trust's  management  evaluates the  performance  of each segment
based on profit or loss from  operations  before  allocation  of the general and
administrative  expenses,  unusual and  extraordinary  items, and interest.  The
accounting policies of the segments are the same as those of the Trust.

Following is information  for each segment for the three months ended  September
30, 2001 and 2000:

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS - Continued

In 2001, the Registrant  sold Franklin Park for  $4,550,000.  The sale closed on
May 2, 2001 and  resulted  in a net book gain of  approximately  $1,138,000  and
provided  approximately  $4,346,000 in net sale proceeds.

King's Court is an 82 unit apartment complex located in Olathe,  Kansas.  King's
Court was purchased for $3,536,000 on August 17, 2001,  from an unrelated  third

the assumption of the obligation to repay certain  multifamily  housing  revenue
refunding bonds issued by the City of Olathe,  Kansas in an aggregate  amount of
$2,209,000, which are due and payable on November 1, 2026.

Chalet is a 234-unit  apartment  complex located in Topeka,  Kansas.  Chalet was
purchased for  $7,750,000 on September 27, 2001 from  unrelated  third  parties,
Garden Chalet I L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and Chalet II Associates, a
Kansas  general  partnership.  The purchase price included the assumption of the
existing  loans and  related  mortgages  and  security  instruments  in favor of
Eichler,  Fayne & Associates whose interest has been assigned to Fannie Mae, one
of which has a current outstanding balance of approximately  $4,108,000,  is due

and is secured by a  mortgage.

Maxus  Properties,  Inc.,  an affiliate  of the  Registrant,  provides  property
management services for each of the Trust's real properties.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash  equivalents  on hand as of September 30, 2001,  was  $616,000,  a
decrease of $201,000  from  December 31,  2000.  Operating  activities  provided
$373,000 for the nine months ended  September  30, 2001, an increase of $143,000
over the same period in 2000.  Investing  activities used $1,083,000,  primarily
due to the acquisition of  King's  Court, The Landings and Chalet. This decrease
was partially offset by the proceeds from  the  sale of Franklin Park. Financing
activities provided $509,000,  primarily due to the proceeds from an increase in
borrowings  under the line of credit of $1,126,000.  This increase was partially
offset by dividends paid March 21, 2001, June 21, 2001 and September 21, 2001 in
the  aggregate  amount of $582,000  and  principal  payments  on mortgage  notes
payable.   Management  believes  the  Trust's  current  cash  position  and  the
properties'  ability to provide  operating  cash flow should enable the Trust to
fund anticipated capital expenditures and service debt in 2001. Expenditures for
leasing  capital are dependent on the timing and actual  dollars  negotiated for
leases.

On September 28, 2001,  the Trust  modified the line of credit to increase it to
$1,550,000.  On the same day,  the Trust drew an  additional  $1,400,000  (for a
total of $1,550,000) on the line of credit. The draws on the line of credit were
used to pay closing costs on the new acquisitions.

                                                  $1,230,000


The  anticipated  capital  expenditures  at the Atrium at Alpha Business  Center
include tenant  alterations and lease commissions for new and renewal tenants as
well as capital funds for window  replacements.  At the Applied  Communications,
Inc.  Building,  $350,000  had been placed in escrow as of December 31, 2000 for
tenant  improvements.  $350,000 has been paid out as of September  30, 2001.  In
addition,  the  Partnership  anticipates  replacing  the  roof  this  year at an
anticipated  cost of  $200,000.  At the Forest  Park  Apartments,  King's  Court
Apartments and The Landings Apartments, anticipated capital expenditures include
various renovation projects to improve the physical condition of the properties.
A portion  of these  funds are held in escrow  in  conjunction  wth  acquisition
financing of the properties. No major capital expenditures are currently planned
for Chalet in 2001.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The  results of  operations  for the Trust's  properties  for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 are detailed below.

Comparison of Consolidated Results

For the three months ended September 30, 2001, the Trust's consolidated revenues
were $975,000.  Revenues  increased $126,000 (14.8%) compared to the same period
in 2000.  The Trust's  consolidated  revenues  for the nine month  period  ended
September 30, 2001 were $2,723,000,  an increase of $421,000 (18.3%) compared to
the  same  period  in 2000.  These  increases  are  primarily  a  result  of the
acquisitions of Forest Park in the third quarter of 2000 and King's Court in the
third quarter of 2001,  offset by the sale of Franklin Park in second quarter of
2001.

For the three months ended September 30, 2001, the Trust's consolidated expenses
were $810,000. Expenses increased $95,000 (13.3%) compared to the same period in
2000. The increase in  consolidated  expenses is due primarily to an increase in
depreciation  and  amortization of $60,000,  repairs and maintenance  expense of
$35,000,  and professional fees of $23,000.  The increases were partially offset
by a decrease in general and administrative  expenses of $41,000.  The increases
were primarily due to the  acquisitions of Forest Park and King's Court. For the
nine months ended  September 30, 2001,  the Trust's  consolidated  expenses were
$2,487,000, an increase of $392,000 (18.7%) compared to the same period in 2000.
The  increase in expenses is due  primarily to an increase in  depreciation  and
amortization of $152,000, repairs and maintenance of $162,000, interest expenses
of $86,000, and utilities of $71,000,  offset by a decrease in professional fees
of $91,000.  These  increases were primarily due to the  acquisitions  of Forest
Park and King's Court.

The net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 was $165,000 or $.16 per
share. The net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 was $134,000 or
$.13 per share.


                                      -10-





Comparison of Consolidated Results - Continued

Cash flow  provided by  operating  activities  was $373,000 for the period ended
September  30, 2001  compared to the same period in 2000, in which cash provided
by operating activities was $230,000. Cash flow used in investing activities was
$1,083,000  for the period ended  September  30, 2001  compared to $2,789,000 in
2000.  The decrease in cash flow used in investing  activities was due primarily
to the proceeds from the sale of Franklin Park,  offset by the  acquisitions  of
the  following  apartments,  King's Court,  Chalet and The  Landings.  Cash flow
provided by financing activities was $509,000 for the period ended September 30,
2001  compared to the same period in 2000,  in which cash  provided by financing
activities  was  $3,048,000.  The  primary  cause of the  decrease  in cash flow
provided by financing  activities was the $1,384,000 provided by the issuance of
common stock,  combined with the $1,986,000  mortgage  payable on Forest Park in
2000,  compared  to  $1,126,000  in  proceeds  from a line of  credit  offset by
dividends paid of $582,000 in 2001.

Occupancy

The occupancy levels at September 30 were as follows:

Funds from Operations

The white paper on Funds from  Operations  approved by the board of governors of
NAREIT in March 1999 defines funds from operations as net income (loss)(computed
in accordance  with GAAP),  excluding  gains (or losses) from sales of property,
plus real estate related  depreciation and  amortization,  and after adjustments
for   unconsolidated   partnerships   and   joint   ventures.   Adjustment   for
unconsolidated  partnerships  and joint ventures are calculated to reflect funds
from operations on the same basis. In 1999,  NAREIT  clarified the definition of
Funds from Operations to include non-recurring events, except for those that are
defined as  "extraordinary  items" under GAAP and gains and losses from sales of
depreciable operating property.

The Trust  computes  Funds from  Operations  in accordance  with the  guidelines
established  by the  white  paper  which may  differ  from the  methodology  for
calculating  Funds  from  Operations   utilized  by  other  equity  REITs,  and,
accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Funds from Operations do
not represent  amounts  available for management's  discretionary use because of
needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations,

Funds from Operations - Continued

distributions  or other  commitments  and  uncertainties.  Funds from Operations
should  not be  considered  as an  alternative  to  net  income  (determined  in
accordance with GAAP) as an indication of the Trust's  financial  performance or
to cash flows from operating activities  (determined in accordance with GAAP) as
a measure of the Trust's  liquidity,  nor is it indicative of funds available to
fund the Trust's cash needs  including  its ability to make  distributions.  The
Trust believes Funds from Operations is helpful to investors as a measure of the
performance  of  the  Trust  because,  along  with  cash  flows  from  operating
activities, financing activities and investing activities, it provides investors
with an  understanding of the ability of the Trust to incur and service debt and
make  capital  expenditures.   Certain  revenues  and  administrative  expenses,
including professional fees, of the Trust are excluded.

CONTINGENCIES

The Trust's  multi-tenant office building located in Bloomington,  Minnesota has
been classified in the Minneapolis Airport Committee's (the "MAC") Safety Zone A
in the future  expansion of the  Minneapolis  Airport.  The expansion  runway is
anticipated to be completed in 2003. The MAC began buying out impacted buildings
during 1999. Safety Zone A is adjacent to the Federal Aviation Authority's noise
buy out  zone.  The MAC has not  indicated  whether  or not it will  buy out the
Trust's building.  The Trust is monitoring  whether the increased noise from the
new runway will have an impact on future  leasing of the building.  If the Trust
determines  there is a negative  impact,  the Trust will petition the MAC to buy
the  building.  If the building  continues to be classified in Safety Zone A, it
will be classified as  nonconforming  use.  Given the  preliminary  state of the
future expansion, management is unable at this time to determine what impact, if
any, this matter will have on the Trust.

MARKET RISK

The Trust has  considered  the provision of Financial  Reporting  Release No. 48
"Disclosure of Accounting  Policies for  Derivative  Financial  Instruments  and
Derivative Commodity Instruments, and Disclosure of Quantitative and Qualitative
Information  about Market Risk  Inherent in  Derivative  Financial  Instruments,
Other Financial Instruments and Derivative Commodity Instruments". The Trust had
no holdings of derivative  financial or commodity  instruments  at September 30,
2001.

The Trust does not believe  that it has any material  exposure to interest  rate
risk.  The debt on the ACI  building  ia a fixed  rated of 8.63% and  matures in
2010; King's Court is at a fixed rate of 5.69% and matures in 2026; the Landings
is at a fixed rate of 7.66% and matures in 2007;  and Chalet I and Chalet II are
at fixed rates of 6.590% and 6.535% respectively and mature in 2008. The debt on
Forest Park matures in 2007 and the line of credit  matures in 2001. The debt on
Forest Park and the line of credit are each variable. The current interest rates
on Forest Pan the line of credit are 4.91% and 6.0%,  respectively.  A 100 basis
point  increase in the  variable  rate debt on an annual  basis would impact net
income by approximately $35,000.

                                      -12-





INFLATION

The  effects  of  inflation  did not have a  material  impact  upon the  Trust's
operations in the periods ended September 30, 2001.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In August 2001, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  144  (SFAS  144),   "Accounting  for  the
Impairment  or Disposal of  Long-Lived  Assets."  Among other  things,  SFAS 144
supercedes SFAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." For long-lived assets to be held and used,
SFAS 144 retained the  requirements of SFAS 121 to recognize  impairment  losses
only  if  the  carrying  amount  of  the  asset  is  not  recoverable  from  its
undiscounted  cash flows. SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December  14,  2001,  and will be adopted  by the Trust in the first  quarter of
2002. Although management is currently  evaluating the impact of SFAS 144, it is
not expected to significantly  impact the Trust's financial  position or results
of operations.
