disseminated by New Plan Realty Trust (the "Registrant" or the "Trust"),
contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Such statements are based on assumptions
and expectations which may not be realized and are inherently subject to
risks and uncertainties, many of which cannot be predicted with accuracy and
some of which might not even be anticipated.  Future events and actual
results, financial and otherwise, may differ materially from the results
discussed in the forward-looking statements.  Risks and other factors that
might cause such differences, some of which could be material, include, but
are not limited to, the effect of economic and market conditions; financing
risks, such as the inability to obtain debt or equity financing on favorable
terms; the level and volatility of interest rates; financial stability of
tenants; the rate of revenue increases versus expense increases, as well as
other risks listed from time to time in this Form 10-K and in the Company's
other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise
publicly disseminated by the Company.

Item 1.   Business

(a)  General Development of Business

     The Trust, a self-administered and self-managed equity real estate
investment trust, was organized on July 31, 1972 as a business trust under 
the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  The Trust is the successor to
the original registrant (Reg. No. 2-19671), New Plan Realty Corporation, which
was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on December 4, 1961.

(b)  Financial Information About Industry Segments

     The Trust is in the business of managing, operating, leasing,
acquiring, developing and investing in shopping centers, factory outlet
centers and apartment complexes.  See the Consolidated Financial Statements
and Notes thereto included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for
certain information required by Item 1.

(c)  Narrative Description of Business  

     General
     
     At September 9, 1997, the Trust owned fee, mortgage or leasehold
interests in 131 shopping centers containing an aggregate of approximately
18,905,000 gross rentable square feet, six factory outlet centers
containing an aggregate of approximately 1,752,000 gross rentable square
feet and 49 apartment complexes containing 11,288 units, all located in 23
states.  The average occupancy rates at July 31, 1997 for the shopping
centers, factory outlet centers and apartment complexes were approximately
89%, 93% and 95%, respectively.

     The Trust is self-administered and self-managed and does not engage or
pay a REIT advisor because the Trust personnel manage and maintain all of
the Trust's properties.
     
     The Trust maintains its executive offices at 1120 Avenue of the
Americas, New York, New York 10036, and its telephone number is (212) 869-
3000.
  
     Acquisition, Financing and Operating Strategies

     The Trust's primary investment strategy is to identify and purchase
well-located income-producing shopping centers and apartment complexes at a
discount to replacement cost.  The Trust also purchases selected factory
outlet centers.  The Trust seeks to achieve income growth and enhance the
cash flow potential of its properties through a program of expansion,
renovation, leasing, re-leasing and improving the tenant mix.  The Trust
minimizes development risks by generally purchasing existing income-
producing properties.  The Trust regularly reviews its portfolio and from
time to time considers the sale of certain of its properties.

     The Trust generally has acquired properties for cash.  It is
management's belief that its ability to purchase available properties for
cash enhances its negotiating position in obtaining attractive purchase
prices.  In a few instances properties have been acquired subject to
existing mortgages.  Long-term debt of the Trust at July 31, 1997,
consisted of $65.6 million of mortgages having a weighted average interest
rate of 7.79% and unsecured notes aggregating $412.6 million having a
weighted average interest rate of 6.88%.  In July 1997 the Trust issued
150,000 shares of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock (the "Cumulative
Preferred Shares").  In connection with the issuance of Cumulative
Preferred Shares, 1,500,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/10
fractional interest in a Cumulative Preferred Share, were sold to the
public.  This stock currently pays dividends quarterly at the rate of 7.8%
per annum and has a liquidation preference of $500 per share ($50 per
depositary share).

     The Trust's short-term debt consists of normal trade payables and the
current portion of mortgages payable.  As of July 31, 1997 there was no
balance outstanding under the Trust's $50 million unsecured line of credit
with the Bank of New York, Corestates Bank N.A. and Fleet National Bank.

     Virtually all operating and administrative functions, such as leasing,
data processing, finance, accounting, construction and legal, are centrally
managed at the Trust's headquarters.  In addition, the Trust maintains
regional offices located near its various properties.  On-site functions
such as security, maintenance, landscaping and other similar activities are
either performed by the Trust or subcontracted.  The cost of these
functions are passed through to tenants to the extent permitted by the
respective leases.    

     Developments During the 1997 Fiscal Year

     In the fiscal year ended July 31, 1997, the Trust acquired 16 shopping
centers containing an aggregate of approximately 2.5 million gross rentable
square feet and 13 apartment complexes containing 3,810 units.  The newly
acquired properties are located in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois,
Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Virginia.  The aggregate purchase price for all
of the properties, including assumed mortgages, was approximately $281
million.  In April 1997 construction was completed on the Trust's Six Flags
Factory Outlet in Jackson, New Jersey.
     
     Between July 31, 1997 and September 9, 1997 the Trust purchased one
apartment complex containing 184 units and three shopping centers
containing an aggregate of approximately 479,000 gross rentable square
feet.  The newly acquired properties are located in New York, North Carolina
and Florida.  The aggregate purchase price for these properties was
approximately $28.7 million.

     Gross revenues, net income and funds from operations of the Trust for
the fiscal year ended July 31, 1997 were the largest in the Trust's
history.  Funds from operations applicable to shares of beneficial
interest, defined as net income plus depreciation and amortization of real
estate, less gains from asset sales, less preferred stock dividend
requirements, was approximately $101.6 million ($1.74 per share).

     Competition
     
     The success of the Trust depends, among other factors, upon the trends
of the economy, including interest rates, construction costs, income tax
laws, increases or decreases in operating expenses, governmental
regulations and legislation, including environmental requirements, real
estate fluctuations, retailing trends, population trends, zoning laws, the
financial condition and stability of tenants, the availability of financing
and capital on satisfactory terms and the ability of the Trust to compete
with others for tenants and keep its properties leased at profitable
levels.  The Trust competes for properties with an indeterminate number of
investors, including domestic and foreign corporations and financial
institutions, other real estate investment trusts, life insurance
companies, pension funds and trust funds.
     
     Adverse changes in general or local economic conditions could result
in the inability of some existing tenants of the Trust to meet their lease
obligations and could otherwise adversely affect the Trust's ability to
attract or retain tenants.  Management believes, however, that the Trust's
financial strength and operating practices, particularly its ability to
implement renovation, expansion and leasing programs will enable it to
maintain and increase rental income from its properties.  
                                     
     Employees 

     As of September 9, 1997, the Trust employed 602 individuals, including
executive, administrative and field personnel.   The Trust considers its
relations with its personnel to be good.

     Qualification as a Real Estate Investment Trust

     The Trust presently meets the qualification requirements of a real
estate investment trust under Sections 856-58 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  If, as the Trust contemplates, such
qualification continues, the Trust will not be taxed on its real estate
investment trust taxable income, at least 95% of which will be distributed
to shareholders.  See Item 5 below.

Item 2.    Properties

     The location, general character and primary occupancy information with
respect to the Trust's properties as of July 31, 1997 (including
acquisitions through September 9, 1997) are set forth on the Summary of
Properties Schedule on the pages immediately following.

     (b)  Holders

     The approximate number of record holders of the Trust's shares of
beneficial interest, no par value ("Common Shares") (the only class of
common equity), at September 12, 1997 was 13,745.

     (c)  Distributions

     The Trust made distributions to shareholders aggregating $1.435 per
share during the fiscal year ended July 31, 1997.  Of this distribution, it
is estimated that $1.326 will qualify as ordinary income, $0 will qualify
as capital gain distribution and $.109 will qualify as a return of capital.

     The Trust has paid regular and uninterrupted cash distributions on its
Common Shares since it commenced operations as a real estate investment
trust in 1972.  Since inception, each dividend has either been equal to or
greater than the dividend preceding it, and the dividends have been
increased in each of the last 73 consecutive quarters.

     The Trust intends to continue to declare quarterly distributions on
its Common Shares.  However, no assurances can be made as to the amounts of
future distributions since such distributions are subject to the Trust's
cash flow from operations, earnings, financial condition, capital
requirements and such other factors as the Board of Trustees deems
relevant.  The principal factor in the determination of the amounts of
distributions is the requirement of the Code that a real estate investment
trust must distribute at least 95% of its real estate investment trust
taxable income.  The amount of cash available for distribution is impacted
by capital expenditures to the extent the Trust were to fund such
expenditures out of cash from operations.

     The Trust has a Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan (the
"Plan") which allows shareholders to acquire additional Common Shares by
automatically reinvesting distributions.  Common Shares are acquired
pursuant to the Plan at a price equal to 95% of the market price of such
Common Shares, without payment of any brokerage commission or service
charge.  The Plan also allows shareholders to purchase additional Common
Shares on the dividend payment date, at 100% of the average of the high and
low sales price of such Common Shares on that date.  At present,
approximately 69% of the Trust's shareholders of record participate in the
Plan, including members of the Newman family and executive officers and
trustees of the Trust.

Item 7.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
          Condition and Results of Operations

(a)  Liquidity and Capital Resources  

     At July 31, 1997, the Trust had approximately $42.8 million in
available cash and cash equivalents, $2 million in marketable securities
and $23.1 million in mortgages receivable.  

     During the year the Trust issued $223 million of unsecured notes. 
Three of these note issues, aggregating $99 million, have variable interest
rates ranging from 5.86% to 5.91% per annum and four of these note issues,
aggregating $124 million, have interest rates ranging from 5.95% to 7.68%
per annum.  In July 1997 the Trust issued 150,000 Series A Cumulative
Preferred Shares with a liquidation preference of $75 million for $73
million net of issuance costs.  The shares pay dividends at the rate of
7.8% of the liquidation preference through September 15, 2012 and at the
rate of 9.8% thereafter.  They are redeemable at the option of the Trust on
or after June 15, 2007 at the liquidation preference of $500 per share. 
The Trust maintains a $50 million unsecured credit facility, which it
expects to renew under substantially similar terms prior to such credit
facility's expiration in December 1997.

     Debt at July 31, 1997 consisted of $65.6 million of mortgages payable
with a weighted average interest rate of 7.79% and unsecured notes
aggregating $412.6 million with a weighted average interest rate of 6.88%. 
The $16.6 million increase in mortgages payable was the net result of the
assumption of $17.5 million in connection with the purchase of properties
and the repayment of $900,000 of existing mortgages.  The increase in other
liabilities is due to increases in interest payable, accrued construction
costs and real estate taxes payable.  These increases are due primarily to
the larger portfolio of properties and the increase in notes payable. 
Short term debt consists of normal trade payables and the current portion
of mortgages payable.

     During the fiscal year $16.5 million of funds were provided from the
Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan.  The Trust made
distributions of $83.8 million to shareholders, paid $274.6 million to
acquire properties and complete the construction of the Six Flags Factory
Outlet Center, and invested $8 million in expansion and improvement of
properties.  

     Other sources of funds are available to the Trust.  Based on
management's internal valuation of the Trust's properties, most of which
are free and clear of mortgages, the estimated value is considerably in
excess of the outstanding mortgage indebtedness totaling $65.6 million. 
Accordingly, management believes that potential exists for additional
mortgage financing as well as unsecured borrowing capacity from public debt
financing, banks and other lenders.

(b)  Results of Operations

Fiscal year Ended July 31, 1997 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 1996

     In fiscal 1997, total revenues increased $39.2 million to $206.8
million.  The increase was in the rental income and related revenues
category and came from properties in the portfolio which were acquired in
fiscal 1997 or were owned for less than a full year in fiscal 1996. 
Interest and dividend income decreased slightly.

     Operating expenses increased $32.7 million to $127.6 million. 
Operating costs, real estate and other taxes, and depreciation and
amortization increased primarily because of property acquisitions. 
Interest expense increased $10.7 million to $28.3 million due to a higher
level of outstanding debt during fiscal 1997.  The increase in the
provision for doubtful accounts reflects a larger revenue base and a higher
level of receivables.  Administrative expenses as a percent of revenue
declined to 1.1% of revenue from 1.6% due to increased revenue from newly
acquired properties; these costs do not increase in direct proportion to
revenue due to economies of scale.

     Income before (loss)/gain on sale of properties and securities
increased $6.9 million to $77 million.  During the fiscal year three former
Nichols stores, in Annville and Hanover, Pennsylvania and Lumberton, North
Carolina were sold.

     Net income applicable to shares of beneficial interest increased $6.1
million to $77 million and earnings per share of beneficial interest
increased to $1.31 per share from $1.25 per share.

     Funds from operations, defined as net income plus depreciation and
amortization of real estate less net gains from the sale of assets,
increased $11.9 million to $102 million.  Funds from operations per share
of beneficial interest, defined as funds from operations less preferred
stock dividend requirements divided by the weighted average number of
shares of beneficial interest outstanding, increased to $1.74 from $1.60. 
Funds from operations do not necessarily represent cash generated from
operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as
an indicator of the Trust's operating performance or as an alternative to
cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

     During fiscal 1997, distributions declared and paid were $1.435 per
share of beneficial interest, a $.04 per share increase over fiscal 1996. 
The most recent distribution declaration for shares of beneficial interest
was $.365 per share which is $1.46 per share on an annualized basis.

Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 1996 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 1995

     In fiscal 1996, total revenues increased $37 million to $167.6
million.  Rental income and related revenues increased $36.4 million to
$162.8 million.  The increase in rental revenue came primarily from
properties in the portfolio which were acquired in fiscal 1996 or were
owned for less than a full year in fiscal 1995.  In addition, increased
revenue from all property categories, apartments, factory outlets and
shopping centers, owned prior to fiscal 1995 contributed to the rental
revenue increase.

     Interest and dividend income increased $.7 million due to higher
average investment balances. 

     Operating expenses increased $29.3 million to $94.9 million. 
Operating costs, real estate and other taxes, and depreciation and
amortization increased primarily because of property acquisitions. 
Interest expense increased $10.4 million to $17.6 million due to a higher
level of outstanding debt during fiscal 1996.  The increase in the
provision for doubtful accounts reflects a much larger revenue base and a
higher level of receivables.  Administrative expenses as a percent of
revenue declined to 1.6% from 1.9% due to increased revenue from newly
acquired properties; these costs do not increase in direct proportion to
revenue due to economies of scale.

     Income before gain/(loss) on the sale of properties and securities
increased $7.6 million to $70.1 million.  During fiscal 1996, a shopping
center in Chinoe, Kentucky and two former Nichols stores in Harrisonburg,
Virginia and New Bern, North Carolina were sold for a net gain of $.5
million.  The $.1 million loss on the sale of securities was due to bonds
being called which had been issued at a premium.

     Net income increased $7.8 million to $70.5 million and earnings per
share of beneficial interest increased to $1.25 per share from $1.19 per
share.

     Funds from operations, defined as net income plus depreciation and
amortization of real estate less net gains from the sale of assets,
increased $12.6 million to $90.1 million, and funds from operations per
share of beneficial interest increased to $1.60 from $1.47.  Funds from
operations do not necessarily represent cash generated from operating
activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of
the Trust's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a
measure of liquidity.

     During fiscal 1996, distributions declared and paid were $1.395 per
share of beneficial interest, a $.04 per share of beneficial interest
increase over the preceding year.

Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 1995 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended July 31, 1994

     In fiscal 1995, total revenues increased $29.6 million to $130.6
million.  Rental income and related revenues increased $30 million to
$126.4 million.  The rental revenue increase came primarily from properties
in the portfolio which were acquired in fiscal 1995 or were owned for less
than a full year in fiscal 1994.  In addition, increased revenue from all
property types owned prior to fiscal 1994 contributed to the rental revenue
increase.

     Interest and dividend income decreased $.4 million because of lower
investment balances.  Balances were lower because funds were used for
property acquisitions and expansions.

     Operating expenses increased $18.7 million to $65.6 million. 
Operating costs, real estate taxes and depreciation and amortization
increased primarily because of property acquisitions.  Interest expense
increased because of the issuance of $181 million face amount of Senior
Notes.  The decrease in the provision for doubtful accounts was mostly due
to higher recoveries in fiscal 1995.  In fiscal 1995 the Trust had bad debt
recoveries of $501,000 versus $261,000 in fiscal 1994.  Administrative
expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 1.9% from 2.67% due
primarily to increased revenue from newly acquired properties; these costs
do not vary in proportion to revenue.

     Income before gains on sales of properties and securities increased
$11.2 million to $62.5 million.  During the year, a very small shopping
center in Millersberg, Ohio and an outparcel at the New Bern, North
Carolina shopping center were sold.  Net income increased $10.4 million to
$62.7 million and earnings per share of beneficial interest increased to
$1.19 from $1.06.

     Funds from operations, defined as net income plus depreciation and
amortization of real estate less gains from the sale of assets, increased
$14.9 million to $77.5 million, and funds from operations per share of
beneficial interest increased to $1.47 from $1.27.  Funds from operations
do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered
as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Trust's operating
performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

     During fiscal 1995, distributions declared and paid were $1.355 per
share, a $.04 per share of beneficial interest increase over the preceding
fiscal year.

                     REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS   


To the Trustees and Shareholders
of New Plan Realty Trust:


We have audited the consolidated financial statements and financial
statement schedules of New Plan Realty Trust and Subsidiaries listed in
Item 14(a) of this Form 10-K.  These financial statements and financial
statement schedules are the responsibility of the Trust's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial statement schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of New Plan Realty Trust and Subsidiaries as of July 31, 1997 and
1996, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 1997 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.  In addition, in our
opinion, the financial statement schedules referred to above, when
considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
present fairly, in all material respects, the information required to be
included therein.

                Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Organization and Income Taxes:  New Plan Realty Trust was organized
July 31, 1972 as a Massachusetts Business Trust.  New Plan Realty Trust and
subsidiaries (the "Trust") have elected to be taxed as a Real Estate
Investment Trust ("REIT") under the applicable provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  Accordingly, the Trust does
not pay Federal income tax on income as long as income distributed to
shareholders is at least equal to 95% of real estate investment trust
taxable income and pays no Federal income tax on capital gains distributed
to shareholders.  The Trust may be subject to tax by certain states that do
not recognize the REIT.  Provision for such taxes has been included in real
estate and other taxes.

     Basis of Consolidation:  The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of New Plan Realty Trust and its wholly owned subsidiaries. 
All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated.  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform
to the current year presentation.

     Real Estate:  Real estate is carried at cost less accumulated
depreciation and amortization.  For financial reporting purposes,
depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method based on the
estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 5 to 40 years. 
Amortization of leasehold improvements is calculated on a straight-line
basis over the shorter of the life of the lease or the estimated useful
life of the asset.  If there is an event or a change in circumstances that
indicates that the basis of the Trust's property may not be recoverable the
Trust's policy is to assess any impairment in value by making a comparison
of the current and projected operating cash flows (excluding interest and
income taxes) of the property over its remaining useful life, on an
undiscounted basis, to the carrying amount of the property.  Such carrying
amounts would be adjusted, if necessary, to reflect an impairment in the
value of the property.

     The Trust records sales when, among other criteria, the parties are
bound by the terms of a contract, all consideration has been exchanged and
all conditions precedent to closing have been performed.  These conditions
are usually met at the time of closing.  The cost and related accumulated
depreciation of assets sold are removed from the respective accounts and
any gain or loss is recognized in income.

     New Accounting Standards:  During 1997, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards: (i)
No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128"), which will be effective for
financial statements for both interim and annual periods ending after
December 15, 1997, (ii) No. 129 "Disclosure of Information About Capital
Structure" ("SFAS 129"), which is effective for financial statements for
periods ending after December 15, 1997, (iii) No. 130 "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"), which is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997, and (iv) No. 131 "Disclosures About
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131"), which is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.  Management
believes that the implementation of SFAS 128, 129 and 130 will not have a
material impact on the Trust's financial statements.  The Trust has yet to
determine the impact of SFAS 131.

     Cash Equivalents:  Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly
liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. 
Items classified as cash equivalents include insured bank certificates of
deposit and commercial paper.  At times cash balances at a limited number
of banks may exceed insurable amounts.  The Trust believes it mitigates its
risk by investing in or through major financial institutions. 
Recoverability of investments is dependent upon the performance of the
issuer.

     Revenue Recognition:  Lease agreements between the Trust and retail
tenants generally provide for additional rentals based on such factors as
percentage of tenants' sales in excess of specified volumes, increases in
real estate taxes, increases in Consumer Price Indices and common area
maintenance charges.  These additional rentals are generally included in
income when reported to the Trust or when billed to tenants.

     The Trust recognizes rental income from leases with scheduled rent
increases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  Deferred rent
receivable, included in trade and notes receivable, represents the
difference between the straight-line rent and amounts currently due.

     Concentration of Credit Risk:  No tenant or single property accounts
for more than 5.0% of the Trust's revenues.

     Net Income Per Share of Beneficial Interest:  Net income per share of
beneficial interest is calculated using a weighted average number of shares
outstanding during each year: 1997 - 58,461,056 shares; 1996 - 56,483,827
shares; 1995 - 52,894,355 shares.

     Estimates:  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The
most significant estimates relate to depreciation and valuation of real
estate.

     Internal Software Costs:  Any costs associated with modifying computer
software for the year 2000 are expensed as incurred.  Management does not
believe these costs will be material.

Note B - Marketable Securities

     The Trust has classified all investments in debt and equity securities
as available-for-sale.  All investments are recorded at current market
value with an offsetting adjustment to shareholders' equity.

lesser of 65% of tangible net worth or $350,000,000, a ceiling on mortgage
indebtedness of $105,000,000, a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.5 to 1
and a minimum tangible net worth of $400,000,000.

     The Notes are subordinate to mortgages payable and rank equally with
borrowings under the revolving credit facility.  Where applicable, the
discount is being amortized over the life of the respective Notes using the
effective interest method.  Interest is payable semi-annually or quarterly
and the principal is due at maturity.  Among other restrictive covenants,
there is a restrictive covenant that limits the amount of total
indebtedness to 65% of total assets.  For the year ended July 31, 1997,
$342,412 of amortized discount and issuing costs were included in interest
expense.

Note H - Shareholders Equity

     The Series A Cumulative Preferred Shares are redeemable at the option
of the Trust on or after June 15, 2007 at the liquidation preference of
$500 a share.  The preferred shares pay dividends quarterly at the rate of
7.8% of the liquidation preference per annum through September 15, 2012 and
at the rate of 9.8% of the liquidation preference per annum thereafter.  In
connection with the issuance of the Series A Cumulative Preferred Shares,
1,500,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/10 fractional interest
in a share of cumulative preferred, were sold to the public.

     The Trust has the following stock option plans (the "Plans") pursuant
to which the Trust has granted (and in one instance, may continue to grant)
options to purchase Shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust (the
"Shares") to officers, trustees and certain key employees of the Trust: (i)
the 1985 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "1985 Plan"), (ii) the March 1991
Stock Option Plan (the "March 1991 Plan"), (iii) the Non-Qualified Stock
Option Plan (the "Non-Qualified Plan"), and (iv) the 1991 Stock Option Plan
(the "1991 Plan").  The exercise price of a Share pursuant to each of the
Plans is or was required (as the case may be) to be no less than the fair
market value of a Share on the date of grant.  Under the 1985 Plan, the
1991 Plan (with the exception of certain option grants of 10,000 Shares or
more, as discussed below) and the Non-Qualified Plan, options are
exercisable 20% per year commencing one year from the date of grant.  In
the case of certain option grants of 10,000 Shares or more under the 1991
Plan, such option grants are exercisable 10% after the first anniversary of
the date of grant, 25% after the second anniversary of the date of grant,
45% after the third anniversary of the date of grant, 70% after the fourth
anniversary of the date of grant and 100% after the fifth anniversary of the
date of grant.  In the case of the March 1991 Plan, 30% of the options
granted are exercisable on the third anniversary of the date of grant and,
thereafter, an additional 10% of the granted options are exercisable on a
yearly basis.  Future option grants can be made only under the 1991 Plan. 

     The following table shows the activity and balances for each stock
option plan during the fiscal years indicated.

     The Trust has adopted the disclosure-only provision of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" ("SFAS 123").  Accordingly, no compensation expense has been
recognized for the options described above which were granted on or after
August 1, 1995.  Had compensation cost for these options been determined
based on the fair value on the grant date consistent with the provisions of
SFAS 123, the Trust's net earnings and earnings per share of beneficial
interest would have been changed to the following pro forma amounts:

     The Trust has a Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan (the
"Plan") whereby shareholders may invest cash distributions and make
optional cash payments to purchase Shares of the Trust without payment of
any brokerage commission or service charge.  The price per share of the
additional shares to be purchased with invested cash distributions is the
midpoint between the day's high and low sales prices on the New York Stock
Exchange, less 5%.

     The Trust has made loans to officers, trustees and employees primarily
for the purpose of purchasing its Shares.  These loans are demand and term
notes bearing interest at rates ranging from 5% to 9.75%.  Interest is
payable quarterly.

Note I - Lease Agreements

     The Trust has entered into leases, as lessee, in connection with
ground leases for shopping centers which it operates, an office building
which it sublets and administrative office space for the Trust.  These
leases are accounted for as operating leases.  The minimum annual rental
commitments during the next five fiscal years and thereafter are
approximately as follows (000's omitted):

expense in the amount of $100,000, and $111,000, respectively.  There were
no contingent rentals for the year ended July 31, 1997.  In addition,
ground leases provide for fixed rent escalations and renewal options.


Note J - Rental Income Under Operating Leases

     Minimum future rentals to be received during the next five fiscal
years and thereafter with initial or remaining noncancellable lease terms
in excess of one year are approximately as follows (000's omitted):

     The above table assumes that all leases which expire are not renewed,
therefore neither renewal rentals nor rentals from replacement tenants are
included.

     Minimum future rentals do not include contingent rentals, which may be
received under certain leases on the basis of percentage of reported
tenants' sales volume, increases in Consumer Price Indices, common area
maintenance charges and real estate tax reimbursements.  Contingent rentals
included in income for the years ended July 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995
amounted to approximately $28,933,000, $26,173,000, and $19,388,000,
respectively.

     The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair
value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable:

     Cash and cash equivalents:  The carrying amount approximates fair
     value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

     Marketable securities:  Fair value is based on quoted market prices in
     accordance with SFAS 115.

     (1)       Mortgages and notes receivable:  The fair value approximates
               the carrying value and is estimated based on discounting the
               future cash flows at a year-end risk adjusted lending rate
               that the Trust would utilize for loans of similar risk and
               duration.

     (2)       Mortgages payable and Notes payable:  The fair value
               approximates the carrying value and is estimated based on
               discounting future cash flows at a year-end adjusted
               borrowing rate which reflects the risks associated with
               mortgages and notes of similar risk and duration.

Note P - Subsequent Events
