ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

         On April 3, 1997, the Company purchased 201 and 221 King Manor Drive
(the "Properties"), two industrial facilities containing an aggregate of
approximately 124,960 net rentable square feet located in the King Manor
Industrial Campus in King of Prussia, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania for
approximately $3.5 million. The seller was Mellon Bank, N.A., Not Personally,
But as Trustee of the Westinghouse Electric Corporation Master Trust Fund, which
is not affiliated with the Company. Major tenants at the Properties include
Reber- Friel Company, General Insulation Company and Central Sprinkler
Corporation. The purchase price for the Properties was determined by
arm's-length negotiation between the Company and the seller.

         The table set forth below shows scheduled lease expriations for leases
in place at March 31, 1997 for the Properties for each of the next ten years
beginning April 1, 1997, assuming none of the tenants exercise renewal options
or termination rights, if any, at or prior to scheduled expirations:

         represents the cash rental rate of base rents, excluding tenant
         reimbursements, in the final month prior to expiration multiplied by
